[Q] Entended Battery - Poll

If a company like Mugen comes out with an Extended battery like they did for the S2, would you purchase it, not purchase it, or do you think it isn't necessary?

An extended battery to make the phone even bigger? no thanks...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

I always have this in my bag with me when i know my phone is going to need a recharge:
http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/au/products/xp4001/
better than a bulky phone

I've had this...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0H4VE9S6N61AVK449HTZ

I prefer either an external USB battery or just carry a spare battery (when its available) depend on what I'm doing and where I'm going.

The good thing is that with the 'full' back the Note won't be ugly as death:
i.e. it'll be like this:

That's very chunky though. I'd rather just keep an extra battery on me.
I used to keep one in the car and/or my wallet, if I was running low.

the only saving grace from how big the Note is is how slim it is... take that away and it'll feel massive in your jeans.
but i do love extended batteries

It looks like a BRICK...

I would prefer to just purchase an additional 2500 mAh battery or two and keep them with me rather than use something which will just add bulk to the device. The Galaxy Note gets great battery life as it is without a larger extended battery.

I too would rather have a spare battery ready than have a bulkier battery. If there was a higher capacity battery that was the same size (like there is for the Nexus One) then I would buy that but I would niot want to increase the thickness of the phone with a thicker battery.

Hi All, i just bought Galaxy Note two days ago. it's bad of battery. i use GNote only in 4 hours then battery is empty. Any one have suggestion (tweaks) to improve GNote life time.
For extra battery, i use ZAGGsparq 2.0 Battery Charger (both for ipad/iphone/galaxynote)

4 hours? From full charge? That's not impossible of course, but for normal/light heavy usage is not normal at all.
What you use the phone in the 4 hours of usage?

Try Juicedefender Plus from the Android Market. Really helps and I get a full day with pretty heavy use.

Reason using only 4h is romkj4 not yet rooted, background apps is a lot. Light screen minimum, off gps, off gsm, on only wifi. But during 4h i'm factory reset note 3 times. Download, install and uninstall a lot apps. View HD video clips around 10 minutes. Thats all.

The only thing I know of that could drain this thing in 4 hours is watching streaming video. I know mine will burn 15% battery in about 20 min.

i would find a 5000 mah model....... or just a samsung ORIGINAL battery at 3000mah.. with just 1mm more.........
like the galaxy s2.... with original 2000mah battery that DOES NOT CHANGE the real thickness of the phone( just add 1 or 2 mm if i remember correctrly).
so a 3000 mah ....with just 1mm more IS THE PERFECT SOLUTION

I didn't know they released the 2000mah battery. I would have paid a small fortune for that if it fit in the standard protective cases. Ya, 3000mah or a little more for the Note would be great.

I get just over 2 days with average use, good enough, I'm happy and see no need for a larger battery...

Also check negative feedback on eBay about capacity:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...=negative&interval=180&_trkparms=negative_180
- Volume of a real, 1400 +
- Fake! original ep500 1160 mAh working 6 h, this 2430mAh battery - 3h! WTF?
- 2430mAh are not correct;battery monitor gives 1435mAh;no differents with origina
Etcetera...
-------------
Bottom line: don't buy it.

thanks dude.... sorry for not searching the threrads before new post...
i m not gonna buy it..

I've got one and it seems to work better than the original battery. Haven't had any problems. Haven't been analysing though.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2

my friend bought one of these batteries for your defy and lasts only 3 hours
The only brand of extended battery really works is Andida , I had one in my old N78 lasted 1-2 hours more than the original

don't buy it
My cousin got this battery , apart from the inflated capacity , it battery also leaked fluid and became inflated :crying:

same size as bf5x/hf5x, significantly higher capacity, definitely a scam, may even be dangerous.
battery chemistry hasn't evolved that much in the past few years. there's a limit on the weight&volume/capacity ratio.
avoid it.

not that good
i bought it and it's 10% her half a hour :/

Third-party batteries often lack good protective circuits. They may die unexpectedly and/or kill your phone. Be wary!

There is also a possibility that those batteries don't get fully recognized by the defy and the batteries might not charge up to 100%

thanks for the warnings.
any idea where one could get a legit replacement battery?

Really Awful Battery Life

Just a few days ago my battery on my phone drained to 0 then charged it while turned off. But something suddenly came up and I need to go immediately and plugged the charger out before it was full. After that, my battery can barely last 1 day but normally my phone lasts up to 3 days without wifi and I already have Juice Defender and I actually upgraded it into Ultimate. Another thing that I noticed is that the temperature is becoming hotter than it used to be. Possibly because it's hot here. And no, it doesn't have any bumps.
So, what can I do about this? Do I have to buy a new battery or does anyone have an alternative?

My battery lasts 7 hours... Beat that!

Did your battery heat up like mine as well? Charging temperature is 42-43C. While Normal use is 35-39C and when playing some games it reaches to 40-42C.
Can this even be fixed by Battery Calibration? Just rooted my phone today.
And I am also eying the possibility that my charger is the culprit since it's becoming hot too especially the AC and the tip that you use to connect to your phone. Now I'm waiting for my aunt to borrow her charger and find out if it really is the one at fault.
And another thing that confuses me is my battery's health is still good. And the main drainer is "Cell Standby" and "Phone Idle".

Zerolemon to release battery August 30!

I'm really excited for this as my phones are usually hungry for power. And now they finally have a date. Can't wait.

zerolemon is a huge battery for all kinds of phones. I think thegalaxy s3 was like 7500mah

Whyyy?? For me this 3000mh battety is just fine! I get 4 hours screen on time.. Like 7500mah battery is way too big! I like this slim phone

They also make standard sized batteries if you just want extra. Which I do. Their extended batteries with cases are the most hideous things.

Some people don't have the chance of recharging their phones all the time or have a lot of time on their phone. I had the 10k mah on the note 3. Bulky but the case worked for the environment I worked in. 5 days without a charge!

Great news

Glad to hear this! I certainly don't need the extra battery life but this is very welcomed as one can never go wrong with a bit extra battery life. Maybe now I can actually go a full two days of heavy use without charging!

Idk maybe because some people prefer to have an option of a bigger battery, you know, and maybe because its good to have a choice perhaps don't you think?

What is my real battery capacity? Acubattery varies wildly

So quick question:
If I charge my phone slowly, accubattery reports my battery as being ~2700mAh whereas if I do quickcharge, I get an abysmal ~2000mAh. I mean I already bought a new battery, but how much of my original is left?
Any good way to tell exactly how much my phone will hold?

On my case, I installed a new battery then I did a test myself.
By using USB battery capacity test tool, the result is near 3100 mah.
By accuracy battery, the result is 3400 mah.
The result on accuracy battery not change for a month whatever on normal charge or quick charge. So I think the app is pretty accurate minus 300 mah.
So you may keep charging on both methods. Then use the average number to minus 300mah.
(I guess you have 4 hours SOT, right?)

I believe he's referring to actual, physical battery life. How long will it last before it starts to fail and needs replacing.
Maybe.

But I think it is fake, by using usb tester, the capacity is still about 3150 though, I dont know how the battery can fool the accubattery app.

Well, I also had about 2300 mAh three or four months ago. Now I found out that snapping an HDR+ pic with less than 40% battery will shut off my device (voltage goes below the shutdown threshold from abt. 3.7V) since all cores go at full tilt when processing...
I think Accubattery's reading is good mainly for knowing when to change the battery, i.e. if it says less than 2700 it's time to get a new one. Sadly I can't find one, so I'll have to put up with this until I find someone that sends stuff to my country

I finally bit the bullet and bought an original one via Aliexpress. It cost $6 plus about $5 in shipping. Now to wait a month or more, as usual with aliexpress

My battery is one year 8 months old. Whenever it got down to 30-37% it would automatically shut off, no warning or anything. When I plugged it in it read 30-37% and would start right up. The battery life in general was terrible.
So I would say if your battery is over a year and a half old and your having problems with it you should think about replacing it. No software will overcome a worn out battery.
I bought my battery from ebay and put it in myself. Not as easy as some would make it look but it's doable. What helps get the back of the phone off is a small flathead screwdriver with a very thin tip to get inbetween halves and then twist to seperate.
