So this battery, after the mod, fits right into our G2's without having to use a different cover or anything?

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly

In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.

I just purchased, thanks.

Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.

i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label

Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

Here are some screen shots for ya.
After 1 day 4hrs I was still at 35% Not bad

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.

Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).

any more updates?

I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.

I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app

I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Well, too expensive

Just received mine. Removing the tab means it'll go into the space but it still won't fit quite right as the battery is slightly too thick for my cover to go back on.
I'll see if I can rectify this =/

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

Is their alternative camera flash?

Is their any device that can replace the lack of camera flash?

Like this?
http://www.phonephlash.com/meet.html

yes. something else?

it´s interesting, i try to find something like this, but this it´s big and expensive.i need to find another.but it a first flashlight plane that i see.
*sorry for my english

I don't think there is any camera flash that would sync with the shutter like an on board flash. Or does it?

It's a very nice idea!!

koool im gonna invest in one of these bit pricey eh

If it came with a battery at that price then not bad but yeh that is expensive!

not battery it´s included.

Buy yourself a flashlight and some duct tape. It's cheaper.
There is nothing as a flash replacement for a phone, and everything that you see on the internet is a crappy chinese product, that in most cases doesn't do the the job. The flashlight is better If you get the ideea ...

totally agree on this one. if you think about it all this product is is a flashlight made to fit on the back of the phones.

Exactly, and I assume you can buy a small LED flashlight at the dollar store

loool yh thats right

I think 11alex11 is asking for something that fits nicely into the phone and that looks as it was included in the backplate.

Well, I wouldn't call "simple" a heavy brick in the pocket with two batteries but hey... better than nothing!

the adventage of two batterys it´s that normally you have the battery-led charge, but you need to recharge for to be power when you need to use it or change, with the inconvenient of power off, dismount, change and mount.
the ideal , if you use this size, it´s a long battery , and the led take power for the long-battery how on the original iphone 3d case-led, for example,
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1312&T=1
but with a led incorporated, desing, durability, and the led, how difficult it´s to do it?
i bought a momax and i want to try to put a led,if it´s run ok send my idea here.

I assume Samsung understood this mistake and give us Galaxy S 2 WITH flash light. It is tiny light but better than nothing for poor light condition for the camera. Almost every devices in this range are equipped with some kind a flash light so why SGS is not?

What do you think? Real or ?!

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says

I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this

one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased

But "what if" that is not a connector?

any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors

what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

they are on the power button side

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.

i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Guys, i come from Hong Kong.

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

It's real.

Comparison.

It's actually japanese.

is that chrome around the phone
if so yuck
still want though

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48
I think the phone is too long... =T

PowerSkin® for HTC Desire HD & Inspire 4G

Alright folks, don't know if this has been discussed before, and frankly I can't browse through threads atm looking for it, so here it is. It's a a power case for your Desire HD/Inspire 4G with an extended 1500mAh battery to make your life easier.
I've tested it some time ago but never got the chance to actually post anything about it because I just don't get enough time. The case is very rigid and provides the ultimate protection for your device. The only downside is the fact it is enormous.

The price varies between $40 and $47 so if you think this can help save your phone, go ahead and buy yourself one.
You can grab it on amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/PowerSkin-Pro..._1_8?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330464202&sr=1-8
Be fast they only have like 4 or 5 left in stock.
Of course if ya think this post is useful, hit thanx. Won't kill ya.
PS: I am in no way affiliated with the company that is making this so if ya think I'm making money here, I'm not.

read the reviews on amazon... it sucks...

As panyan says... it sucks... I tested it for a week and then it went back to amazon...
The Quality is quite good, but it makes the DHD really fat... but i knew it before i purchased it and this wasnt the real problem...
This this batterie was supposed to last as long as the internal batterie does, but for 50euros (in germany) you get a silikoncase which makes your phone thicker and a really bad batterie that lasts for 7 hours... in IDLE!!
My DHD "survives" sometimes up to 2 Days (When its IDLE most the time), so a battery that used to have more capacity then the internal one lasts only 7 hours?
FAIL!!!
I loaded it more than one time to full capacity and tested it the whole week...
I cannot recommend that powerskin.
mfg cre-x
PS: sry for my bad english XD

It's an interesting idea, but it woud add a lot of weight and bulk to the phone, which you would only need let's say for the second 1/2 of the day
So would you want to carry that around with you all day?
The alternative, which I use, is to have a battery pack (mine's a 5000mAh) which I plug into the charging socket of the phone via USB-microUSB cable when I run low.
The battery pack has the same dimensions and weight as the phone, but I keep it in a bag until needed, so it doesn't affect the phone's bulk until I decide to charge.
And they are cheap too, I got mine off Amazon for €22 I think it was. NewTrent is the brand, I can recommend it. The price fluctuates quite a lot. There are also some cheaper alternatives, but I wouldn't bother with a 2000mAh pack, since it wouldn't pack much of a punch. Also the NewTrent one has 2 output sockets and can provide a 1A output, giving a fast charge.
And you can keep your favourite case too, no worries about GPS signal either

powerskins are for people who can only get to charge their phone every other day or use the phone very intensly.
In most cases it's a waste of money.

I used it 3 months and now it no works.
PS: This Case is really big!

I have it, it's awesome. The thickness isn't important to me, i have big pockets. But it was 80$ here in my country.

phone companies are on the verge of these 'inductive charging' techniques by just attaching the tech to the battery without sacrificing any of the physical size of it all, so who knows maybe at the end of the year it'll become standard in phones without the need of having accessories like these

WOW! The Phone becomes very thick with this thing. That's absolutely not cool. In which pocket shall it fit? Just rendered and no real pictures you can see nothing about the quality of these thing. I think a spare accu is much better than this Power Skin.

Galaxy S5 Extended Battery | HETP [6800 mah]

Hi Guys! I was looking around on Amazon for a extended battery coz my stock battery is draining so fast. When the battery percentage is between 18% or 15% sometimes it turns off immediately (without the samsung poweroff log). So I found this battery in Amazon (sorry the pic is from ebay) and I'm thinking of buying it. What do you think? Is it worth to buy or not?

Heck... I did not think it was really possible! 1 thing I would want to really know, is what kind on "Protection" is out for something like this? Knowing, that "IF" the battery is larger, you need a new back side (Battery Cover)! OK, Now, needing a new Battery cover, also means that any sort of Case will not work at all !!!! So, what is really out there for protection of the S5?
I will be checking into this! Yes, already have been looking into a newer battery. SO, guess I might as well look into this sort of thing.
Only concern, is Protection of the phone, after a new, larger , battery cover!!

Sounds like your battery is pretty old. What is it that you actually do with your phone? I would suggest just purchasing a new battery instead.. I just bought 2 new batteries on Ebay for under $17. You can also get a wall charge to keep them charged, and change out at least once a month..

Yes it comes with a new back cover and a phone case which is bulky. The only downside I think is it has no waterproof protection.

Personally I do not trust the so called waterproof protection.

Ok and Thanks for the info.
Really dont want the S5 any more bulky, but still going to look at them...
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Labs

I was gonna get a similar case. My S5 battery is literally from day one release lol its not bloated or anything since I use Device Control to down tune the CPU and GPU (Kinda like apple does with iphones) but I don't mind more bulk for better battery. Easier to hold in my opinion

Где купить?

I have a 6600 mAh battery made by Tothl Technology, model EXTS5 that I have used in an S5 for a couple of years. It has worked pretty well. Due to its thickness, it came with a replacement back cover, and it does bulk the phone up a bit.

I've a power bear battery/case 6800mah or 7200mah. I works more like à 5500mah battery but It works like a charm .
The 4 or 5 first charges are a bit long. but really do the job.
