Anker 2x 1800mAh

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...=UTF8&qid=1326384240&sr=8-1#productPromotions
This is a great deal on Amazon, two 1800 mAh batteries plus a charger for 20 bucks right now. I recommend it.
I just bought these a few days ago and got to use them yesterday. I was amazed... 300 mAh more than my year-old stock battery and it lasted forever. On my normal battery I get maybe 9 or 10 hours of light usage, data off all day unless I'm using it for tapatalk, etc. and then the phone dies. On this new one I got it up to 14 hours and it was down to 40%.. only put it on the charger because I had to sleep.
And that was 14 hours of medium to heavy usage... I had two batteries with me so I really wanted to stress them and see how long they would last. I left data and sync on all day, streamed music for about an hour with google music, used google talk to chat with friends, played fruit ninja, watched youtube videos, downloaded Big Gigantic's new album over 3G... etc and still the battery lasted way longer than my stock one. I didn't even have to worry about needing to switch batteries which was what I bought them for, I didn't expect this great of a result from it.
All in all, I recommend these if anyone is looking at buying extended batteries. It's a great price right now, the things charge in the phone and come with a wall charger with USB ports and a battery charger that can charge whichever one your phone isn't. I've never been more happy with the battery life on my phone, I don't think you could go wrong with these.

good work>>>>>>

So I ordered this for my moms Fassy that I had and she is on stock rom slightly debloated and after putting it in it says that that battery isn't recognized. Any ideas for fixes?

hm... I have not tried it on anything except custom roms. I've heard that some roms don't support different types of batteries. maybe try flashing her to cm7, miui, something like that.

Iirc its the kernel that determines the 3rd party battery support and not the from. Try KGB or geewiz kernels for tw. I got a guide in general section that has all this information.

+1 on the kernel from what i've heard. I was about to pull the trigger on one of the epic touch batteries on amazon litterally when i read this post. For the same price you can't beat these. Battery life has been a much welcomed improvement, and being able to just swap a fresh one from the charger and keep going really cant be beat. Thanks for the find bud.

yeah it's really awesome, you're welcome. question, have you had any issues with the wall charger? I may be doing something wrong but mine doesn't seem to be charging my batteries.
Sent from my ICS SCH-i500

Hmm. No I haven't noticed any issues. I do know that those prongs tend to move every time I attach the battery though are you possibly just not getting it to seat well? What specifically is happening?

well I hardly use my extra battery, I usually just use the one because I don't need a second. so I charge the extra one and keep it in my pocket, and when I need it it is almost dead. I don't know if it's not charging, or if it's just discharging somehow while being in my pocket for a couple of days.
Sent from my ICS SCH-i500

It could be discharging. I have noticed if I take a battery off the charger for a couple of hours and then pop it back on it will begin to charge again. It seems odd that it would lose so much charge after only a few days but who knows. I always alternate back and fourth so that the batteries wear evenly. I would try that for a few days and see if it helps. If not call Amazon or banker and see if you can get a replacement. On a side note how the hell are you getting days of life? I get maybe a day of medium heavy usage. Also I'm in a 90 to 100dbm environment pretty much all day though.
Sent from my SCH-I500 running Kang's CM-7 with Glitch 13.1

I'll try the suggestions, thanks.
With my usage, it just depends on what I do.. on a regular day I have wifi most of the day and stream google music and check xda and Craigslist, and SMS... besides the constant streaming it's average usage. I keep my screen dim because I'm usually inside. That gets me about 16 hours.
Today in addition to those things, I used GPS Navigation and my phone to make calls to get directions and navigate to a car to look at, I played with flashing a couple of mods, and I wrote a google doc going back and forth between docs and browser to finish up my homework on the way. plus I've been outside today so my screen has been on around half brightness so I can use it. I am at about ten hours now and I have 20% battery.

yes sir, let us know how it works after you've had it for a day or two?

Hey Sage, are you still having issues with that battery, or did it get better over time?

Killed my Infuse...

Well I think my Infuse is now a goner.
Initially had charging problems, brought it into ATT and they noted corrosion and blamed it on me, warranty voided and I was SOL.
Purchased a replacement charging port and found out that the damn thing is soldered on. Well I attempted it and accidentally lifted the solder pads.

wanna sell it? or you can try to do the touchstone mod. i pulled mine apart to see how hard it would be to do and it doesnt look to difficult. i would've done it to mine but my infuse is only a couple weeks old. just google touchstone mod if you havent heard of it. but you wont be able to send data you can only use it to charge it wirelessly.

Poor you

I bought an extra pair of batteries along with a will charger, I haven't used the charging port in months. Something you might want to consider.

On Ebay battery charger plus 2 1900 mah batteries for $15ish, which 1900mah is supposed to last longer than stock something you may want to look into, also if you do get your charger port working again then you can charge one via the battery dock and charge the one that's in your phone at the same time (it has USB port on bottom of battery dock) a also its smart charging so it doesn't ruin the battery if you leave it on there all the time

They're 1900mAh batteries, lasts me 19 hours on average. I'm sure it's more of a hassle to have your phone plugged into a wall than it is to leave a battery in the wall.

Im not really sure why, but on my old infuse my phobe wouldnt charge anymore so if charge my batterys off my dads infuse. And i was for sure it was a hardware problem. Then wen my dad upgraded phones a month later he give me his old and i was going to return my old infuse back to ebay. But somehow i fixed it b4 we returned it. Iv tryed changing roms and whiped that phone like no other then randomly after i factory reset on a custum rom it fixed it self.. idk how it fixed it self but it happend. So its possible its a software issue

Not a hassle at all. I rotate between 3 batteries, I haven't plugged my phone in in over two months... I don't see that as a hassle. All I do is power down my phone once a day to swap batteries, nothing like going from 5% to 100% in a battery of minutes. I use to stress about battery life, but that hasn't been an issue since. Its probably become what I brag most about to iphone users.

What about us users that have a nice protective case on it? I use a casemate that has 2 layers of protection, and would be a pain in the butt to remove everyday. And if you use an Otterbox case, those things are damn near impossible to get off without a struggle.

Obviously if you lock up your phone like Fort Knox then this method is not for you. I have a case mate case and I have no issue taking it off once a day, far less troubling than keeping it plugged in hours everyday whilst trying to use it.

I'm not worried about it. I have a car charger if I need to charge while out. I'll be damned if I'm going to open my case every day. If it floats your boat, go for it.

Battery

I wonder if anyone tried this batteries before:
http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Sams...O4G0/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1336756981&sr=8-9
My phone shuts down whenever I take a picture with flash, and I read that a lot of people have the same issue and that it might be the battery on the verizon website ... Therefore I want to head away from Samsung batteries ... If those are not good, please let me know what you have tried and knows that it works.

I have some bad reviews/experiences about using non-Samsung batteries.
from my understanding, VZW/Samsung will send you a new battery free of charge the next day if complain to the right person.

I use a Hyperion, an off brand Chinese from eBay, and the OEM. I don't notice a difference between the three and just cycle through them.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Between 2 phones I have 2 older hyperions, 2 new hyperions and 4 samsungs. I see very little difference between them with the samsungs being only slightly better but that can easily just be a placebo effect.

Could not get a replacement battery without getting a replacement phone with asurion.
Got the hyperion battery, works great and the phone no longer shuts down when using the camera.
Again thanks for the help!

Atrix 2 White Light

Hello xda,
Before yelling at me for posting something thats already posted I haven't seen any posts that were recently
I had an Atrix 4G when the digitizer went out I got an Atrix 2 replacement (How lucky was that) well I thought I was lucky until now. I owned my Atrix 2 for 2 months and last night I was playing a game I forget the name. I remember my phone being charged at 60% then I played for about an hour and half and all of a sudden my phone froze completely, no life at all just a lighted up screen with the game being frozen. So what I thought to do is do a battery pull. When I tried to boot it back up there is no life at all but a white light.
I read every where about these white lights ranging from your phone is toast to your battery is so low on a charge that it cant boot up the dual core screen.
Now I've tried everything so far right now I have a spliced up USB port rigged up to my battery charging from my PC. I checked the volts using a multimeter and the battery at first was 0.160 volt now it's up to 0.300 volt.
Now I am not good with volts and all but can someone tell me to keep charging til its at 3.8v (I think thats the batterys capacity) or what?
And I also let it charge all night with the light on to find it done nothing.
When the phones with no battery charging the multimeter voltage says 2.5v.
Lastly, I got a battery otw incase this one isnt good which will be here Tuesday-Wednesday.
Thanks and please come with positive news if you can =D
Mike

Honestly man, it sounds like you're on the right track, and yes to the best of my knowledge, the white light has to do with low battery.
Can you not just charge it while it's off? What ROM are you on?

It seems you have completely drained your battery, this thing has happened to me once. What you can do is get a battery only charger from ebay and charge your battery and you'll be ready to go. This has worked for me and hopefully will work for you as well.

Good idea, I probably will invest into one because after reading I took notice this must happen alot to people and if I get this new battery then I'd have 2 completely dead batteries. Not good at all lol
I am going to let the phone charge on a wall socket for the night. Hopefully it comes back to life.
I wasn't expecting so many replies in such a short amount of time so thanks to all of you!

I went to go watch a movie tonight and we were early and I saw an AT&T store so I went inside and borrowed their battery from the Atrix on display and it booted right up.
So this means either 2 things my battery is fried or just completely dead. I tried everything I could to get it to work from splicing wires to charging all night.
I suggest for people that have this problem to either get a wall charger as posted above by prasannapmv or get a new battery.
You can also go to an AT&T store and borrow their battery, all of this is better then paying a $50 fee for your insurance or paying $300 for a new phone.
I hope this thread has helped other people.

[Q] (Q)HTC Desire S 2000mAh Battery?

Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a noob but anyway I wanted to buy the following battery from eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230803704348?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I was wondering if anyone has a similar battery and if they noticed any improvements over the stock 1450mAh battery
Thanks

To be honest they could write 2500mAh and atill it can be worse than the stock one. For me it looks like a risky business.

Hi, I found your post simply because I ran across the exact same battery and just as you was thinking of buying it.
I was wondering if you had any luck resolving your issues with charging the battery? And if not, did you also remove the yellow tape near the electrode, as they write in the ebay add? Because to me that sounds like the kind of thing that might screw up the charging otherwise...
Cheers.

I can't remember how much I paid but it's excellent. Check the Accessories section, I made a thread there

I bought a "Polarcell" battery on ebay and have a real good experience with it. It says 1600mAh. With Jelly Bean (MIUIzero) and the new battery my phone now always runs for a whole day sometimes 1.5 days. This really surprised me because on some early JB roms and with the old battery the phone was always dead in the evening.
