Hi,
I've just bought a skin from BSE (it didn't arrive yet), but today something happened that made me a little bit worried. I live in a country with high temps (Brazil) and today, coming to my work while listening to online radio and reading some news, my N1 temps got a little bit high, in a level that caught my attention.
I have SetCPU (with profiles enabled to scale down CPU when >40C) and it was displaying 42.1C as my battery temperature. So I was wondering if anyone knows if a skin may block heat spreading and so it would be harmful for the phone in this high temps situations...
Regards,
Thiago Souza
not sure about the phone but exposing the battery to high temperatures will shorten its useful life.

Well, I'm not really worried about the battery, because this one I can replace...
But the phone is another story, I'm worried about hurting the processor or any other component that may start degrading due to high temps...

I'm considering getting a mugen battery to improve my battery life, but im wondering, since it has more amperage, would it run cooler under strain? Aside from the fact that id be cutting the back off of my case for the battery room of course.
I'f youre reffering to the 1800 Mugen, then first of all you dont have to cut the back of your case. it fits in the g2 just fine.
Then again, no it wouldnt run cooler under strain. Basically from personal experience the mugen battery is just as good as the stock one. Most aftermarket batteries are lower mAh than they claim to be.
Not true, due to the high load and G2's metal battery cover... it will continue heat, however I did notice that it cools down a lot faster than the stock battery.
I was actually considering the 3600 mA battery, so I would definitely need to cut my case (which is fine, I might even just take off the back half and see how I like that).
I like to play emulated snes games for extended periods, and when I do my battery can get up to 105 degrees according to set cpu. I was just wondering if a bigger battery might hold up to the strain a little bit better.
my G2 Batterry is coming down
my G2 Batterry is coming down, i'm consider a big Mha batterry but Seidio not . and it like original batterry ?
Thanks
If you get the 3600mAh Mugen, it comes with a larger back cover to accommodate the larger battery and replaces the factory metal battery cover. No need to cut anything unless you're planning on putting a case over it as well.
Or just but a spare lol.

105 isn't actually that bad it's probably about average.
to answer you question: No it will not make your battery cooler.
The battery temperature is dependent on how you use the phone. The more intense you use it, the bigger the power draw, thus more heat. It might take a tad bit longer to get to the same temperature due to physical size and travelling of heat, but temperature is based off how much power is being drawn at that point in time and the duration of the draw.
I might be wrong here, but if anyone has a better explanation then by all means...
Sounds about right, it's science lol. Why use of energy has wasted energy in the form of heat. The more energy you consume three more heat is produced. Simple.
The back of my g2 with the 3600mah mugen never feels overheated, then again like everyone said u get a plastic rear cover

Have you guys noticed how hot the phone gets while charging or while watching a youtube video for example. I have recorded temperatures as high as 113 F.
It gets so hot, I cannot leave my hand on it for more than 10s without feeling the sensation of burning. All the heat is concentrated around the camera lens. During that time, applications tends to crash a lot, especially the browser. This will shorten the battery life and the ever small electronic components on the phone.
This is a big design flaw, HTC should not have released this phone with this kind of heat issue, especially considering that this is something you hold with your hands and it is so noticeable. I am pretty sure they tested it and found out about it, but decided to do nothing about it, what were they thinking? I would have never release a phone that generate this much heat.
I have owned many smartphones and this is by far, very far the hottest, especially when compared to the iPhone.
I am very tempted to return it before my 30 day return policy is over, and wait for the samsung g3.

Does not sound normal, Tegra 3 had this issue but not the One XL.
You may need to exchange it. My phone barely gets warm, that's it. 85ish is normal for me
if it's reaching 110 and over in a relatively cool environment, then yeah, it may be a problem.
The iPhone 4s released with a widespread heat problem,btw. I don't think it's a design flaw at all, you probably just got a hot unit.
I only notice high(er) heat temperatures when using LTE. That's a given. The heat is partly due to the battery discharging.
To make it really cook, use google nav for 15 minutes with GPS on.

I notice the phone getting hot while using Navigation and charging at the same time for 20+ minutes. Otherwise I don't notice any heat build up.

Hey guys. So I've had the 7500mAh battery for a little while now and felt it was time for the review. So here ya go!
Let me guess:
whole night charging time for original S4 charger,
24h charging time for generic USB ports,
on airport checkpoints everybody thinks it is portable C4 improvised explosive device pretending phone,
when you drop it, than there is no doubts if screen is broken or not - it will be for sure because of heavy weight (high impact force).

lol,
only takes a couple off hours to charge and with this cover i feel much more safe to drop it (or put it in my pocket without taking risk off breaking screen like in other reviews) because off special shock absorbing material wich also goes a little around the front off the phone protecting the front from scratches when lying upside down. This phone feels like a tank now, especially if i add a nano screenprotector
(90gr extra is high impact force allready?)
in airport they have something called scanners wich know the difference between c4 & a battery so no need to worry
Other then that this battery finally makes my phone worth it's money (what is good about a 700 euro phone if the battery is empty after 3 hours driving with google navigate ?)
if you don't like better battery life and extended batterys, it's no problem but don't give fantasy opinions about how you think it will work if you know not much about the subject..

7500mAh vs. 2600mAh means it is almost tripled. Tripled capacity means tripled charging time. Dead simple physics. Do the math.
90g vs. 130g means it is almost doubled. Doubled weight means doubled kinetic energy, which will have to be dissipated during ground impact. Doubled impact energy means more damage. Dead simple physics.
3 hours driving with google navigate and you forgot about charging port in your vehicle? S4 is not an heavy duty survival device. It was never meant. If you need GPS device for all day skateboard rides look for GARMIN devices.
Yes, sure extra battery life is nice (especially if you are Bear Grylls and need S4 with two week standby time, or teenager and need 24h gaming time). Nobody said it is opposite. Just don't try to pretend, that this solution does not have mentioned drawbacks or looks nice.

It's Allah Akbar, not Allahu Akbar. And for your "terrorist" comment, as a muslim, I find it very disrespectful.
Back to topic, extended batteries hardly look nice anyway. But for me, extra battery life means more. The problem is the cases for these don't offer a lot of protector.

You might be right about the charging, i don't know how long it takes because it charges when i sleep and it's fully charged when i wake up.
Edit, it's done in less then 4 hours, i don't know how long a stock battery needs ?
Hearing people complain about how a phone looks always makes me smile, a nice looking phone attracts thieves is one thing and we're not talking about a pretty woman that gained too much weight, we're talking about an object that promises us to give us features such as calling, texting, hd screen & hd recording, games, music, camera, the android app store and much more... but came with a battery that laughs in my face when i want to use these features.
I have replaced my gps, mp3player, camera and even my watch a couple off phones ago allready, this worked fine in the past with other phones (nokia n82 & nokia n8 with selfcooked firmware), saves me money and i don't need to take care off 4-5 extra things.
(if i needed a phone only to make some calls i would buy an old 39 dollar nokia symbian phone and have one/two week(s) standby time on 2g)
I also have no wish to buy ugly cables for charging in my car and i hate the need for taking usb-cables or chargers with me everywhere and look for (slow) usb ports or electricity every couple off hours when i am reading an online newspaper on 3G/LTE.. (this is another example of what happens to me if i forgot my charger and needs no reply that i should buy a newspaper
Anyway, so far i've been bragging about the good sides but this battery also has bad sides wich people should think about before buying.
-bluetooth distance between my phone & bluetooth speakers was bad allready in samsung (compared to nokia and i-sheep) & it get's worse with this cover.
-same for mobile connection, dbm goes with this +2 wich means connection get's a little less good.
-sound might sound better, it doesn't get louder, a mod/app for getting louder speaker is almost a must have.

Stop trolling.........
I love how the people that don't like extended batteries are so passionate about it. I won't name the other guy that trolled the other thread by name, but I find myself asking if this is his alter ego in this thread, lol!
My 1st Cycle Results
First, lets talk about the results from using the battery. Per the instructions for the best performance you are to go through 5-6 cycles. For this review I only went through one cycle. The instructions also encourage you to leave the phone on the charger for 12hours for its first charge, which I complied.
The result was getting two and half days worth of battery life. Check the video for a full explanation. In short, I have full brightness on most of the time, 4G over WiFi, lots of automatic push notifications, emails pushed and streaming services being used. I would consider myself a heavy user. If you are not a heavy user, you will for sure get better battery life than I.
The TPU case is really tough and is a perfect fit for the battery and phone. There are white and black covers available to choose from. The surface is smooth but not slippery and is pocketable. Cutouts are great. The power and volume controls are covered up and require a little bit more effort to press as if the case was not installed.
The NFC capabilities works great. I tried it out on TYLT NFC Tags stickers and car mount and I had no issues at all.
Overall, for an extended battery with NFC it performed well for me. It was exciting to see two and half days of battery life on a smartphone. That was a first for me. I don’t know if I could use this as a daily driver because the thickness and heaviness got on my nerves at times. I like my devices thin and not as heavy. This battery will definitely get you through the weekend or would be a nice travel companion for anyone not able to charge the device on demand.
I stumbled upon this item in gmarket/qoo10 . Anyone have it yet ? What do you think about this?

Interesting. Looks like I could put this on underneath my slim case, maybe.
They spend about as much time as a politician, validating themselves, lol. And how old is this if they're still saying, "SonyEricsson" though...
If you believe this works, you deserve to be scammed.
I have no idea which is why I'm posting it here to see what others have to say about It. It has good reviews though by their buyers.

good reviews can come from the company / fake customers and so on...
but you're right, maybe someone here can us explain why this could / couldn't work
Hard to believe it will extend battery life, if you go to the website it looks like it something that absorb heat (I'm not saying it works, just reporting what I have read, I'm curious) :
"AkkuFresh® absorbs all source of energy inclouding electromagnetic field (EMF) energy and generate negative ions for infrared waves and biorezonance.
Negative ions will penetrate into the battery and create higher frequency on witch the crystals resonate and burst. This cleaning process causes the battery to regain its initial capacity,
and enhance the flow of negative ions. It also let's the Lithium ions resonate, through which an increase in voltage is obtained"
Their youtube videos are all the same, a guy who put sticker on batteries without proving anything.
I even translated a comment of a video (from 2008 on hungarian tv!) where they talk about radioactive part in the sticker... beware!
They put "Nano Technologies" everywhere, but I can't believe a company that has R&D in nano tech and invest millions in it produce such horrible videos! They don't even have a proper lab to show !
Fake

theres alot article about this fake....whay he didnt use google first
"It is very important to understand that AkkuFresh® is not designed to extend the battery life of a brand new battery. However, new battery will be able to benefit from a faster charge, maintain battery perfomance and prolong battery life. For (6 month or older) battery, It revitalizes the battery and helps to recover the original performance and to maintain maximum capacity. In addition, it reduces charging time and extends the life span of a battery.
Optimal Improvement is visible after (5-10) charging cycles."
Sounds alot like 'go faster stripes' people put on their cars, some are stupid enough to believe they work....
I ordered this case with a 50% discount from Amazon.com, so I'm only half biased here. If I would have received this case free, this would be written differently, as a disclaimer.
I've had this case for a little more than a week, and I must say that it's pretty handy. To get there most use, I suppose the meaning of the instructions might indicate discharging the phone to about 2-3% usable power before pushing the little button on the reverse of the case. Complete power cycles on advanced lithium cells isn't necessary, but could improve life of the device battery, not the extended battery. Using the battery and putting the phone in the case can be done by an early teenager. Very simple design indeed, but effective. One thing lacking in the instructions, is that it's written like when these were installed on devices with removable batteries and went straight into the terminals as a replacement. The days of running my battery on a note 4 until at two percent for about 8 hours are over. I think as an auxiliary battery, it's better to start charging around 15%, because the LG V30 starts doing its battery saving thing then. As far as cost and value, the benefits outweigh the cost moderately because if you're willing to part with what you'd spend on Bluetooth speakers, decent earbuds, or a case, for example, maybe you'd like to be able to do long trips, or drive Uber or Lyft for extended periods without plugging into a 12v charger for a couple days.
I was able to squeeze three days of continuous use, navigating on the bus system in Phoenix, bumping my Apple music, browse news, take lots of video, use Twitter and Instagram for hours, edit articles on Wikipedia, and another wiki without worrying about losing my changes.
I'm in Arizona, where heat can sap a 3000 mAh battery's power very quickly, and this heavy, however robust product exceeds my expectations over and over. I'm considering a 10000 mAh battery for my Note8 next. One cool feature is the center of gravity of all things considered. If dropped, the heavy side falls first, and though the case provides no protection, the concept of the peanut butter on bread dropped from a ladder landing peanut butter side down still holds true here. Most falls from height should be on the battery because of this phenomenon called gravity.
Only downside is the weight. It's almost a pound more. But if you're me, you're caring a gallon of water with you which is about seven pounds.
I rate this accessory a 4.75 out of 5 just because of the cumbersome design.
I'd improve the spread of the load across the entire device with two or three cells connected around the camera and fingerprint sensor in addition to the big cell at the bottom, and even out the case, so that it's not all at the bottom.
