Does anyone have it? Any comparison pics of the size? Do you guys mind it? How much improvement have you seen?
Mr. WootRoot just bought it.

I didnt know theres a 3200. I have the 2800. I doesnt give me twice the battery life of the stock battery
I think is better just buying a second stock battery especially since there are only $25.
They apparntly dont even show the 2800 mAh battery on thier website anymore lol.
Are there any more comparison pics or reviews out there? I am beginning to think I should have just gotten this and not a bunch of standard batteries. Swapping them is a pain, especially with Swype crapping out after every restart.
I bought the 2800 mAh and hated the way it made my phone feel and look. No cover for the camera lens either. I used it for 4 days and went back to my stock battery. My phone obviously lasted longer in between charges, but not enough for me to keep using it.
now 3200mAh
still looks urgly

why not just carry an extra charged 1400 or 1600?

'cause then you need to turn of the phone, swap the battery, wait for it to boot again.
I'd rather have it all in one.
I've decided to just go with a Iogear GearPower Portable Battery. I think it is more versatile.
that back cover looks like a$$
i know it looks ugly but wootroot said he got 36.5 hours on heavy use! i mean, i use my nexus one HEAVILY and i get about 5.5 hours before needing to charge it. u can get it for $70 on ebay so you save a little money, i have the money (i sold my dock and some stuff for the sole purpose of getting this thing) but now that i have it, i dont know if i wanna buy it. its seems too expensive, but charging this thing 3 times a day is starting to get really annoying. if i do, ill post up some pics.
Use coupon code DFN10 for 10% off your order ($50 or more). I don't know when it expires though, but use it ASAP.

Are there any places yet to get a reasonably priced spare battery for the G2x/O2x?
Sent from my Nook Color!
I just found this:
http://ioomobile.com/shopbybrand/872-momax-battery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p990-1400mah.html
I assume that an O2x battery would work on the G2x? I've used a Momax battery on my N1 and I get decent life out of it.
expansys us has one for pre order. 39 bucks i think.
here it is http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-optimus-2x-battery-210068/
i personally wouldn't use anything other than an oem battery.
Good to know. I got two non original batteries for my Nexus One. One was a fake from DinoDirect that looked authentic but barely lasted half what it should have. But the Momax I bought from NCIX is so close to the original in performance that I usually forget which one is actually in there.

I'm interested too. Looking for "Optimus 2X" on eBay had no results.
Mugen's (www.mugen-power-batteries.com) working on a battery. Typically they're more amps than stock in the same form factor. They're more expensive than stock and better quality. They have a great reputation and I buy their batteries whenever I can.

We've got another thread in here, that should probably be merged with this one, but a bunch of us are gonna start bugging Seidio to make a larger capacity battery for these. It seems like brand new, it has the standby and usage time that my year+ old Nexus one does.

Yep, I've gotten burned by fake batteries from eBay before, so be careful and only buy batteries with positive reviews.
I was a big fan of the Mugen I had in my G2, hopefully there is an 1800 mAh+ battery out in the near future.
Hey guys, is this any good? I was planning on buying this; http://www.amazon.com/Laza-Battery-Fascinate-Captivate-T-mobile/dp/B004AOAV56/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_a
So this (http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html) seems to be one of the best batteries aroung as well as the Mugen 1800mah. My question is, while Mugen should fit perfectly, I couldn't understand, after reading most of batteries thread till page 6, if the Chichitec need the label to be pulled out, someting to be cut, or fits perfectly.
Then, if something is needed, would there be any risk.
And the last thing, which one would be better in terms of runtime?
thanks
In the future, just drop your questions in the battery threads.
Using these batteries that are not meant for the G2 is fairly straightforward. The only truly necessary thing is to take the wrapper off of the battery, and then use a portion of it to cover up the part of the battery that would be touching the SD card slot in the phone; that's the only risk, the phone may short out if the two metals touch each other.
I believe both of them offer similar battery life; both stay true to their capacities, and are quality batteries. I bought the Anker 2-battery set and am very happy with it.
Going from stock to evo 4g battery then to a mugen 3600 mah, i would never go back. I dont give a crap about the bulk when I can play n64oid for an hour or two a day without any scare ill run out of battery. Without emulators I hit about 65-70% when I lay down at night. With stock I would hit 20% or so at night.

How do the Anker 2battery from amazon compare to the stock battery? Does it last much longer?
Since this thread was already bumped...
Can someone gimme a link to, or tell me where to find this huge "Battery Thread" that I see people keep referring to? I've searched and looked all over, and I find all kinds of battery related threads, but don't think I've come across the "epic" battery thread. It should probably be a sticky... then again, since I'm a noob, for all I know it probably is.
I don't understand why people would still buy the chichi battery when you need to modify, clip tape, etc. if you can just buy the Mugen which fits perfectly. I think people originally bought the chichi battery because there wasn't an extended one yet for the G2, but now you've got lots of options.
Plus, the one and only time I ever bought anything from chichi tec I had to return it and they wouldn't answer any emails and don't have a phone to call, I had to file a claim in PayPal before I could get a refund for my "guaranteed return".
i've had an awesome experiance with chichitec i plan on buying another perhaps mugen though more expensive, and really, seriously, the modifications are a joke, took me 15 seconds to do....anyone who complains about that should get over it. You are on a forum where we modify, hack, and otherwise tweak and customize our phones way beyond what the manufacturer intended so taking the label off a battery is just too easy a mod to complain about lol. Anyways never used a mugen but i get 25 hours plus moderate use with my chichitec so zero complaints here, especially when they are dirt cheap.
Check this one: GOLD BATTERY
...Im not sure but I think somebody else has posted this link in another thread.
I will go for this one myself, as I do hate my HTC DZ not lasting more than a day, but I would dread making it twice as thick! ...this battery (despite the alleged huge capacity 2430 mAh!! ) manages to maintain the original/OEM battery size...

ordered it @ weekend (And early in monday i got mail that said my order got dispatched), its been one full week now. Haven't seen it yet, hoped it would come last Friday, but no. if i don't see it this week, going to start asking some questions and getting my money back.
Also found that local store sells some kind 1500MAh batteries for DZ, might just grab one of those. Looks like it's X-power.

...mmmh... OK, I'll wait and see what happens too. By the way, be ware of the 1500mAh - I got one myself a while back, and upon realizing it wasnt making any difference, I got it checked, and it turned up to be a standard 1300 despite what the sticker said!

Just got mine delivered! ...cant wait to get back home and test it....
remember to wipe battery stats, and do few full charge/discharge cycles, and after a week we'll see if its actually any good
Got my g2x last week and the battery is horrendous. Seems like there's no way around it unless I root my phone. Don't really feel like rooting my phone because I have never done it before and don't want to brick it. At this point, I'd rather carry a replacement battery. I'm looking for something that will provide at least an extra 5 hours of use.
I was looking on ebay and found some that come with a charger and 2-3 batteries. Anyone know how long these last?
I think it would help if you posted link to the batteries you have in mind. Unless all replacement batteries are the same nowadays.
But seriously, its not that hard to root your phone. And if you use the Bionic Reloaded v3 ROM, you'll get the official taste of Gingerbread, with great improvements.

Also, I would reccomend the 3500 MAh battery mentioned in the accessory section, got mine from Texas and it works great, no temp sensor though.

The 3500 Mah battery will make the phone bigger, but you will be able to run for hours on end.
Thanks for the replies. I couldn't post links cause I'm a new member. I ended up getting some chichitec replacement batteries shortly after creating this thread. I'll probably be rooting my phone later.
They are ok
Eversince I got my G2x about a year ago, I have been using a replacement battery. The same thing that you see in ebay. For some reason I don't feel like using the battery that came with it. They are ok. If they are not the same quality with oem, they are at most 8% lesser in quality than the oem. I have been buying extra battery on ebay since my G1 then my nexus1 then to my G2X. They are cheap and they are good. You can never go wrong with it.

+1 on the 3500 mah, i seen a thread regarding the one sold on ebay with great feedback. personally i use Gorilla Gadgets 3500mah and easily get an extra half days worth of juice. and im constantly on my phone texting, webing, gpsing, calling, xdaing (lol), etc.etc..
Yep I'm a beleiver in the G2X XL haha no plastic covering the lens takes waaaaay better pics and video. The cheap battery I got gives me substantial gains in life.I've had it for a couple months so far and it didnt blow up yet..
.to my surprise haha

I think having root access should be in every Android phone, its what makes it different from iOS.
The thing with the bigger batteries, which I have and are amazing, is that you can't put a cover on them. I recently dropped my phone and cracked the screen since I was using the extended battery as well. I am replacing the glass myself but I would try a slim extended battery since you can use a phone case.
Andida 1980 is the one I'm using. It works well. I haven't tried the Chic batteries yet.
I recommend rooting as well as its super easy and Bionix is so much better than Stock 2.3 while still being stock 2.3 =D

Are you talking about the ones from a brand named Ferocity? I bought a set of two batteries and a charger and everything runs well. I believe the batteries hold just as much charge as the stock LG one. Still, I'd recommend rooting your phone and putting a custom Kernel onto it.

This doesn't seem like a run of the mill chinese cheap battery. Packaging looks very professional and the company itself has amazing ratings. I would say this is a pretty safe buy. Its a company that designs the batteries in canada.
And with amazon you're well proctected. Ebay tends to always back the buyer up as well, but I always felt amazon was more legit. I have no need to ugly up my phone with a massive battery, nor do I need the extended time (stock battery suits me fine) but for someone that can't shell out a lot of money this seems like a solid deal

Yes and no. I bought a Mugen from amazon, and everything went fine. It died after about 3.5 months, and Mugen wouldn't replace it because I didn't buy direct from them.
So, most reputable companies who sell direct on amazon are OK. Mugen doesn't sell direct, so avoid them on amazon.
I'd like to see how badly this battery bulges out the phone. I've seen pictures of the galaxy note with this battery, and it looks... big.
I'm willing to test it out. I placed the order and I'll report back once I get it.

Hmm... I don't see any reviews for the product. I'd buy it but the price worries me for how cheap it is. I mean... I like cheap, but... there are no reviews to be found which worries me.
Here is my thing about batteries. Last summer when I was on the hunt for an amazing lipo battery that would make my rc car run the fastest,coolest, longest right. Well them batteries were about 60 bucks, but what I had found through my research was there were only about 4 companies world wide who produce lipo-cells, so why waste 60 bucks when I could get a 2-cell for 12 bucks. Well it only lasted the summer because I wasn't very responable with it but its perfomance was on par with the more expensive batteries and so was temp ect. It don't have to cost the most the be effective, sometimes I feel this blacknightavalon works for mugen, because I promise you people 100 for a phone battery, they seen you coming

And yeah, I've no doubt Mugen makes good batteries. But the fact that you *must* buy from them and nowhere else in order to get any sort of service makes them a bit shady.

I would never move to f**king China. Not unless they got rid of their Maoist regime. No, I just know a good battery when I'm using one, and I think the Ankers are pretty good too (as long as you order the two-pack with the wall charger).
The battery cover in the Amazon picture is clearly not for a MT4GS, but maybe it's just the stock photo they use for all this company's batteries.
Anyhow, for $20, I took a chance.
The company as a whole seems to make quality batteries, so I doubt they would skimp on our phone. And it is an actual company, not a "no name generic" battery. And as I said before, if you look up batteries for other phones from the same company, they generally have great reviews
Good point on the picture. That battery cover does not seem to fit our phone, which means the picture is a stock picture.

Could you post pictures when you get it all set up?
Personally, I'd go for a slim extended battery if they offered it, otherwise it won't work with the dock. Still, if this works well, for 20 bucks it's a no-brainer.
