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...

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?

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...
Our phones are not inefficient. No not at all. If you think about it, on a 3000 mah battery we get good battery life compared to other phones with the same or bigger battery. But here is my gripe, and it pisses me the hell off. The G2 had a 5.2 inch 1080p display with a 3000 mah battery. Now how the heck can LG be dumb enough to not upgrade the battery when they stretched the screen size by .3 inches and more than doubled the resolution? Thats literally the dumbest thing ive seen come from lg. Albiet everything else is top notch on this phone, and the battery life is still pretty darn good. Its just a stupid move by lg that makes no sense whatsoever. Its like giving a mustang a gas tank the size of a 4 cylinder prius. [emoji57]

It is still a stupid move they could not anticipate that allot of people would not want to remove the battery all the time.
Simple concept: Increase the battery capacity with every generation to accommodate the more juice needed. Look at samsung. Their batteries always increased.

I really think its about choosing the right phone for you.
I had my LG for my first day today at work (day 3) and after 14hrs I still have 68% left. OK admittedly its been a very light day in terms of usage but today I am a happy user because I have an awesome display with a great phone with all the features that I was looking for and it was able to get through my day with a great deal of battery life left.
The question you need to ask yourself is have you bought the right phone for your needs?

Their batteries also are always removable. I'm not saying they shouldn't have tried to go with a 3,200 removable. However so many people complained about the sealed in battery, they thought they were giving the people what they wanted. Their battery size technically did increase. The Korean G2 with a removable battery was 2,600 mah and now the international g3 with the removable battery is 3,000 mah. If they would have kept it embedded I'm sure the battery would have been around 3,500 mah.

Decreased frame rates when your playing a game is a problem. Its annoying and ruins the game.
Personally i'm liking the phone so far. The battery life isn't all that bad unless the screen is on most of the time. I'm actually quite surprised that the battery life is that good. My phone usually lasts me a full day even if I leave my house without it fully charged (80% or so).
But of course I have a spare battery with me just in case. Doesn't hurt to be prepared

I was thinking more like a 3500 mah in this phone. It would help allot. Yet they didnt think that they would kill 2 birds with one stone if they increased capacity and added the removable function.

I mean I would have loved more juice too, I'm just going to give them benefit of the doubt and assume, they couldnt keep the bezels as slim as they are and making the battery removable and adding microsd card slot while increasing the removable battery size more than from 2,600 to 3,000.
But i agree 3,500 would probably have been the sweet spot.
Fair enough that actually may be another reason i never thought of. Silly me.
Do you guys think a battery manufacturer might be able to produce a 3500mah battery the same size as the stock one? Its okay if it a tighter fit.

Are you not understanding the fact that it's easier and much more possible for a manufacturer to include a higher capacity battery by making it non-removable? The battery is as good as it's going to get with the current form factory and removability. And LG makes great batteries, so don't expect some eBay store to beat them. You can buy a second battery, get a portable charger, or get a new phone.

A guy on G+ in the G3 community bought a 3500mAh battery on I think Ebay. Yes it's the same size but I think when he took videos it locked or something. Personally I would never buy a cheap battery or a non LG battery for a $600 phone. That's one reason why they catch on fire.
I've owned the G2, Flex and now the G3. I think LG is doing great with the battery life, camera, and design. The Flex had great battery life with the 3,500mAh battery but is noticeable bigger then the G3.

I can deal with the battery....what's unacceptable is the lag.
Its almost putting me on the verge of never buying an LG ever again.
The HTC M7 was blazing fast compared to this and made the phone a enjoyable experience.....optimize the software you F*ckwits.
I hate lag, I hate it I hate it........the saving grace which is starting to wear thin is that its so pretty to look at, that is untill I turn the thing on and the lag infuriates me again.
No problems here with battery life with my kind of use, 2 days of normal use till charge
Never ever had that with my other smartphones
:good::good::good:
Lag, lag lag...All these posts about lag. As a former Nexus 5 owner, these lag complaints are what infuriate me. Change your animations to .5, switch to ART. Install nova or another 3rd party launcher. Personally, I have the 3/32 on Sprint and I don't see the lag. Again, I'm coming from N5 so you'd think I'd notice, right? Well, I don't. I switched to nova for about a week and then I switched back to stock. With animations at .5, I think stock is just as fast. Seriously people, if the phone disgusts you that much, return it. There are plenty of others, like me, even professional phone reviewers, who think this is currently the best android device available. Also, I know you're all entitled to your opinions as am I, not trying to start a flame war here. :end rant:
Well here's the drill. I'm coming from a oneplus one with outstanding battery life and Ive had the note for a day now, battery life has sucked so much, so so much and it even lags sometimes, I can literally see the percentage dropping. Every site I check rates note 5 higher for battery life than note 5, which seems odd to me, and I don't know what to do, should I get the nexus 6p or keep this phone and learn to live with it? Is the oneplus one from outer space for that battery life?
You might get some biased answers here since this is a 6p forum but I'd check the battery stats first, see what's causing that drain. Some phones require a few charges to optimize the battery too. Finally, it could just be a faulty model
I researched the Note 5 real hard between trying out an iPhone 6S+ and buying a 6P. I was coming from an S5 and the wife has a Note 3, which we both like quite a bit. Her Note is actually what got me wanting a bigger screen than my S5. But I did read a lot of complaints about the Note 5 battery life (and the glass backs cracking, even saw a display model at Best Buy with a busted back glass). And being I'm Verizon with no chance to root a Note 5, I opted for the 6P. Battery life has been very good with a few tweaks. Browse through the threads here to find what works. And you don't have to go nuts with the tweaks. For me, just running a custom Kernel, using Greenify for a few apps and not installing GasBuddy were all that was needed.
The Nexus 6P is a great device from a software point of view (= guaranteed updates, no Knox or other nasty stuff ) but not very durable from a mechanical point of view. You really have to take care when using this phone because the Aluminum body is weak and prone to warping or bending. That´s the only downside of this device..
I would say if you're looking to switch because of battery life you likely won't find find much relief by switching to the Nexus 6P. Most new high end phones are clocking in 4-6 hours of screen on time. The Oneplus One may have provided you better battery life due to the lower resolution screen, older (probably less power hungry) processor, and tweaks that were part of CyanogenMod. What kind of screen on time are you getting between the Oneplus One and Note 5?
In terms of performance, I haven't seen a single issue with the Nexus 6P, but screen on time maxes out for me around 4-5 hours. The standby time has been much improved in Marshmallow, but that update should be seen soon-ish on the Note 5.
I've found myself in the same boat, the Note is pretty damn good but there are some software issues such as the memory management, bloat and most of all 32gb not being close to enough HD space. Is the warp thing really an issue? I've not heard of anything regarding it.

Yes, it is an issue. I'd be willing to say that almost every device will suffer from it (even if the owner does not realise) mine warped after a day in a case.

Yes, just read through the 'bent after 2 days' thread and that certainly sound worrying. Really wanted to switch over with the annoyances of the Note lately. Is it enough to warrant not switching or something to 'live with'?
You won't notice it honestly, I just make sure I don't sit on it or anything. The phone itself is a lot better than the note 5. Worth the buy if you're careful

If I have any kind of warping on my Nexus 6P I can't see it. The only time warping might be bothersome is if you want to use a tempered glass screen protector, as it will peel away from the display.
Regardless, if you already have a current generation high end Android, you're probaly better off waiting for the next generation. Unless you really got money to burn!
I had the Note 5 before upgrading to the 6P. I am much happier with the 6P, it's better in every way IMO with the exception of the Note 5 having a bit better camera.
I had a OPO and loved the battery life, I went to the N6 and then the N6P and wouldn't even think of any other phone at this point. If you enjoy tweaking, the 6P is the phone for you. Running Cataclysm rom + ElementalX + Pay and V4A, I get between 5-6 hours of SOT, but more importantly for me, I'm usually around 30-40% after my long work day.
I've not had a single issue with any bend or warp. I always put a tempered screen protector on and a very minimal case. I would imagine any thin, larger phone will bend if in your rear pocket if sat on, the IPhone6+ had a similar "issue".

I don't think so, but I don't carry my phone in my pocket. I use a NiteIze belt carrier. It did make me opt for getting the phone straight from Google though, so I could get the Google Protect program on it. Cost me a little more to get it that way, but good peace of mind since all the feedback I've read about using that program has been very good.

So far battery life has been excellent for me. I uploaded this for another thread but it may help answer your questions. I should mention that since the last full charge I have not been playing games or streaming video, which might have move the drop-off point up a few hours.
I am sure you can see, there are a bunch of 6P owners complaining about battery life also. My opinion is biased but my 6P seems great with all the stuffs on so far. I would recommend going a full day with location services turned off, google now fully turned off, to see how much drain there is. I came from a Note 4 and that got pretty good battery life with location services off and google now off. I manually turned the GPS on and off when I needed it. Also try removing/disabling as much Samsung and carrier bloatware as possible.
I used to have the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I know how well it worked and the awesome battery life. Now we have a phone with a newer CPU, same screen resolution, almost the same battery size, and latest OS but still it doesn't even come close to battery performance. That is head scratching. I have to resort to fat battery packs just to get the same real world battery use. Why LG? What's the excuse?
I'm also coming from the Note 4, I had the phone for over a year and a half. I owned multiple batteries (the beauty of removable batteries), and over time they started to drain very quickly. I think the V20 battery is much better than the Note 4 battery, why not try getting an extra battery if one isn't doing the job for you?
are you on a custom rom?

Well. You are disregarding a very important fact that has a huge impact on battery life. And that is the type of screen technology. Usually phones which use amoled screens have a higher expectancy to drain the battery at a slower rate thanks to the technology allowing them to light up individual pixels only when it's required. On the other hand, the v20 has ips screen which lights up the whole panel regardless of if it is needed or not. But to be honest, both types have pros and cons . One just have to put In a balance what are the most important features and capabilities you want on your phone and decide from there. If you like battery lasting way longer, then go for the note or S series. But you will have to live with the consequences too. For the ips screens, the battery tends to be one of the consequences and the sacrifice of pure black or white white many people claim. However, for me, those 2 things are worthy to be sacrificed for a phone which to be honest is pretty much the only one that has been released on 2016 with removable battery, infra red, tough body, sd card slot, easy fixable, unlocked bootloader, and at least to me, fast, reliable, and fully featured. (some of the recent phones might have some of this features but not all of then together)

No. I did play around with it before but from my experience custom rom battery life is never on par with stock. Most of the time it's worse.
Amoled has better contrast specifically when it comes to blacks, can turn off sections of its screens that produce black which can save battery.
IPS has sharper display, does a better job at producing whites but can't shut off portions of its screen.
Neither is really better than the other, it just depends on which screen you prefer.
Since I like thickening my phone with a battery pack (the thinnest is ridiculous these days I'd rather have a longer lasting battery)
Coming from a Note 3 to the v10 I much preferred the v10 display it's noticeably sharper close up.

Just fitted a new Patona S7 edge battery and combined a few software mods I got over 2days and 6 hours SOT out of the first charge. Totally insane considering I was getting about 18 hours and 4 hours before on a Vhbw S7e battery.
These stats are on normal mode (ie not power saving) with Bluetooth and wifi on. GPS on battery saving though and WiFi scanning turned off. I'm using an s8+ port with greenify and forcedoze.
Dude that's awsome
What about back cover does it fit perfectly or is bubbly where battery sits
Sry bad eng but i think u get me
Hi, it fits fine. It is very slightly raised on battery side by a tiny unnoticeable amount so I wouldn't say it is flush but such a small amount it doesn't show, just a fraction of a mm. I will post some photos tomorrow. I did strip out the nfc and wireless charging and took the paper wrap off the battery and removed all adhesive from under the battery to save as much space as possible. It was worth it though.
Do you think the case would hide this?
Nice mod man, but aint out there, aftermarket batteries with higher capacity than the stock ones?
I'd be very suspicious of aftermarket batteries claiming extended battery life as there are nearly always fake. However, the S7e battery is 3600mah compared to the s6 2550mah and patona is a well respected manufacturer. It certainly seems to be good quality judging by the battery life I've been getting from it.

Definitely as it is barely noticeable anyway.
Photos below show the back. As you can see it is totally flush with the top and bottom and it is raised by a fraction of a mm on the battery side but it is so miniscule you would never notice unless you look really closely. There is no gap but just doesn't sit quite as flush as standard but to the untrained eye you couldn't even tell.

No, because the s7 edge and s7 have the connector on the other side of the battery. I am not aware of anyone finding a battery to swap for the s6 edge I'm afraid.
S6 active battety can fit s6 edge i heard. But i can't find battery for s6 active to try.

Just fitted a new Patona S7 edge battery and combined a few software mods I got over 2days and 6 hours SOT out of the first charge. Totally insane considering I was getting about 18 hours and 4 hours before on a Vhbw S7e battery.
These stats are on normal mode (ie not power saving) with Bluetooth and wifi on. GPS on battery saving though and WiFi scanning turned off. I'm using an s8+ port with greenify and forcedoze.

I wanna ask how the phone recognise the new battery because there is huge differences between batteries? Did you use custom rom or kernel and did you do something special so the phone to show correct percentage ?

Hi, i'm using a custom s8+ rom with a custom kiboi kernel which recognises the 3600 mah battery.
