Just received my Anker Battery - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just received my 1550mAh anker battery, and I'll be updating this thread for review.
Hands On: Packaging seems legit, professional
Battery seems a bit wider... And has more of a snug fit.
Charging now...
Edit: Charging does not get hot like the OEM battery. (Full charge is 4194mv on this battery)

The battery life is definitely better, and battery temperature doesn't fluctuate as much. Even while charging.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

I'm running on first charge cycle.
Usually with my OEM at 1.58Ghz, of 1 hour usage, the battery is around 30%, with this Anker it's 52%... What a improvement.
I'm expecting better results with more charge cycles.
So..
OEM Battery : 1200mAh
Anker(1st Cycle) : 1422 mAh...

Mine should be here Monday. Every device I had that had anker support I owned. The battery is definitely worth getting.

Strange my OEM Battery that came in the phone is 1500 mAh.

^ Of course it's 1500mAh.
It does not stay 1500mAh forever.
Use a monitor widget, give it some cycles to detect your mAh.

Fourth Cycle: 1543mAh
Not bad eh

Yes, I got it from there.
And I'll update till 10th cycle...
Sixth Cycle : 1565mAh
Pretty good, as this battery advertised as 1550mAh.
To those want to know how I condition my battery for the first 10 cycle..
1st cycle : Charge to 100% and drain to 0%
2nd cycle: Charge to 100% and drain to 20%
3rd Cycle: Charge to 100% and drain to 0%
4th Cycle: Charge to 100% and drain to 10%
5th Cycle: Charge to 100% and drain to 15%
6th Cycle: Charge to 100% and drain to 0%.
and so on

Also one last question, does this battery show the correct temperatures?

I do not think so as mine goes from 25C to 27C.. The only way to tell is put it in the freezer.
HOWEVER
This battery is much cooler than the stock battery. During heavy drain, the battery is actually cool, and when charging, it's like... COLD

Definitely getting one of these.

Good for me since I have had problems with the battery slipping out a little while using my phone and my phone shuts off and it just all goes downhill.

I think Anker is pretty good, they're a company called 'Laptopmate.' They sell Phone battery to Laptop Battery..
Though, I guess I'm pretty lucky considering 3rd party batteries are luck of a draw. O:

Just got mine. Charging it up now. Pretty much after 4-5 cycles the battery will perform its best.
Bye bye oem

bay 2300mAh Battery $17

Just received mine in the mail today from China. Thanks to s0cc3rstud for the find. I am going to test it out and come back to do a write up on the results after a few days. First off though it only looks a tiny bit bigger then stock. Although it feels heavier. But then again that could be the placebo effect.
2300mAh Battery for HTC Sensation G14 Pyramid z710e
interesting. I wonder how they packed so much juice into only a slightly larger battery.
Let us know if it lives up to the 2300mAh.
Best test you could run is to get/borrow a voltage meter and test the actual capacity of the battery.
I just got mine today as well. Initiallly it was almost full so I topped it off. The battery is draining fast. Almost 15% in first hour in standby, but I will drain it and recharge and see. Listing stated to drain and charge 3 times to get peak performance

Also don't forget to wipe battery stats.
let us know your results.
Be weary for low quality batteries as it can destroy your equipment.
Might be wrong but this sounds too good to be true. I even doubted the anker 1900 Mah for 10 bucks but bought it after so many positive review. Let us know.
I got a free 2300mAh battery for my Sensation and it works fine.. I think it lasts longer than my official HTC battery but it's hard to really test it because I'd have to fully charge and then kill both batteries doing exactly the same tasks for the same amount of time.. but honestly I think the 2300 is better..
8 hours of mild use, no wifi, no gps and Im less than 20%. That sucks. Not as good as I expected. I will drain dry and erase battery stats via recovery one more time and see what happens.

please post results =]
I think this is 1200mah
Get it tested.
ok, testing continued.....
Phone sat untouched all night with no charger plugged in. Went from 100% to 70% in 11 hours. Im still not convinced that the battery is still 2400 mAh
Well day two was interesting. First off I can say without a doubt in my mind that this is NOT a 2300 mah. Seems to hold better then stock though... but not by much. I unplugged it at 6am and with moderate use it is now at 18%. Battery indicator app. say it has been unplugged for 14 hour and 40 mins. So I guess over all $17 for a spare isn't bad at all. Just really wish it lived up to the promise.

Open it up. It's probably like the "made in japan gold business" battery - a small battery with spacers on the sides
when will people learn. there is no magic way to squeeze another several hundred mAH into the same size. these batteries are almost always a scam. check out www.batteryboss.org for a guy who tested several of these some time back.
Ok found a nice apk that give the mah of the battery. Looks like it is 1580 mah.

Your wrong. That is standard for that app to say 1580mah for the sensation. You can make it say that the battery is 5000mah!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
$17 is way too much for a spare. I got supposedly 3 1600MAh (I would guess they would be 800MAh-1200MAh actually) batteries and an external battery charger for $16. Also, nicky041192, why would a battery app say 1580MAh no matter what battery you had in it, considering the stock battery is 1520MAh.

Horrible battery

I'm having a horrible battery life. I don't know if its pyro-ice or just the phone. Although I've been battery problems since I got the phone. Any suggestions?

There is a break in the life because the phone shut off. Its been happening since I got a new htc battery

If your on the stock battery then that is normal dude.
Get either a Mugen or an Anker.
Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.
I figured bit I just wanted to ask some people who know what they talk about.
Pyroice mt4gs
i have the stock battery that came with it and have great battery life on 1.0.3. Where did you get your battery? Could you have gotten hornswaggled? Also have you tryed recalibrating your battery using the advanced option in clockwork or the Recalibration app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
I have used the battery calibration app. Should I try doing it in recovery?
Pyroice mt4gs
I'm pretty sure they do the same thing, recovery verses recal app. If you haven't already, i would drain it completely and then let it charge with the phone off overnight to ensure it's full. and then run recalibration. In the meantime Ill pay attention to what i get on a daily average and we can compare. You shouldn't be > 70% after 3 hours doing nothing.
I'm on pyro ice with the stock battery and have the same problem. I just stay near a charger!
How long does a full charge last?
A lot depends on signal quality as well.
If I dnt use the screen too much I can get around 18-23 hrs on good signal, but worse with bad.

I've had pretty good luck with the Anker. I'm using Juice defender too. Usually make through pretty long days.
Sent from my Bulletproof_Doubleshot 1.1 using Tapatalk
If I actually let it die I could get 5-6 hours. If I don't use it at all I get more. I called htc the guy told me its normal to get this kind of life. I think that is unacceptable.
Pyroice mt4gs
I get a max of 13hours on mine. No matter what I do I cant make it any better. On stock battery though.
Is the Anker 1900mAh battery that much better than the stock? I've seen people report at least 20hrs on heavy usage.

signal quality, background apps, also im using only one connection type at once only and switch manually between 2G / 3G mobile net.
and yes, im on anker, ordered the two + charger package... but just be aware those who have it, the UK dealer is resending me a new charger, as they tell that anker warned them its dangerous to charge through the USB part of anker charger, at least with those that were traded out in december for me...
I think when I get paid I'm going for the 2 anker batteries and charger.

I do just about the same. Flashed with the ExtremeUV kernel, though. Given our horrible network and no 4G, i usually just stick to 2G because 3G causes my phone to heat up. When am at home I switch to wi-fi. All my setcpu profiles are on powersave mode except on call.
i went through the battery recalibration process too, set my brightness setting to manual 20% during the day and 0% in teh evening.
I can't possibly think of anything else to increase those hours.
I will be ordering one of those ankers. I guess the stock battery will make a good secondary battery.

Every time you let this type of battery completely die, part of it will never work again and dies forever.
Much better to stop at 2-5% then go to full empty, you hurt your battery for no good reason.
To properly break in a new battery, you need to bring it to full, then to that 2-5% mark 4 or 5 times in a row, it exercises the cells and gets them ready to work.
This may be helpful:
Everything you wanted to know about Li-Ion batteries but were afraid to ask!
Edit:
And this:
Battery:
- Spare batteries for the MT4GS? Anker for the win!!
- Mugen Power batteries (1800mAh and 3600mAh) for MyTouch 4G Slide?
- Anker or Mugen???
- Generic 1800mah batteries from Ebay?
- Can we use Sensation Seidio batteries?
- external battery pack! Awesome!
(happened to be putting battery links together in my reference, so figured i'd toss that part in here too)

Andida 1800mah battery

Purchased this battery on ebay the other week and its been great. so far I've been conditioning the battery as stated in the ebay seller post by draining the battery 4 times. Each time the battery lasts longer and longer. Average battery life on the stock oem was about 14hrs with moderate use. The new battery has so far been 16+ hours with today giving me 20 hours. The stock battery never gave me this kind of life before. For $15 I'd say this is a steal for the ammount of performance you get. The seller I got the battery from was called ladyblue, I will post a link to the store when I get to my pc later today.

pookend which
Interesting... but no special brand?
And the size is not bigger? I saw a battery which was bigger than the normal one and comes with a special case.
No special case, it fits in the same slot. It definitely weighs more than the OEM battery. Andida is big brand, they make batteries for lots of phones just check out the rest of the store. Andida even has a web page http://www.andida.hk/en/main.asp
I could have sworn any larger mah batteries - EDIT - for the Nexus One -/EDIT- would require the battery to be larger then the stock...
Kind of skeptical on this one.
Perhaps I will order this, it sounds really good and the price is not too high.
As long the battery will not explode around me...

No, the battery reads 1450-1500mAh. I just got it and calibrated it once already. I want to do a drain test and see if does any better than the stock battery before leaving negative feedback on the item.
IMO it lasts a bit longer than the stock battery. Its not anything mind blowing but you get like an hour or two more than what you did before... i noticed that the battery screws around with the Battery status. Sometimes you will see that its at like 15% but if you leave the screen off it will "Charge up" and it will go up to like 23%.

How long does your phone work and under which conditions ?
well, it's hard to say. it depends on how to use. for me, it lasts all day(daytime), compair to an orignal one lasting about 8h.

Sounds good!
Thanks the for recommendation. It looks like the N1 will get Jelly Bean thanks to Evelvolv, so why not give the trusty One a new battery.
I have this battery for some like three weeks.
Problem is calibration.
I had the problem that I missed just an hour battery time with my stock battery every day.
This is no problem with this battery anymore.
Yet I guess the performance could be better it will go only to 92% of full load, at least said so by the nexus one battery calibrator.
Also when the battery goes low at some point android will report a low battery and display a yellow bar. Short time later it is back to green. I guess this is due to false calibration.
I want to calibrate it with nexus one battery calibrator.
But here I can not set the maximum of 1800mAh it will only set a really high number of "27306" when I try to set "1800".
Also Capacity is said to be 104856 mAh.
Anyone with the same problem?
as i said, it works well with CM7.2. it indicates a battery life in the way it should be.

I tried the one from the thread.
I guess it is due to the battery sending false data or the app reading it wrong.
I calibrated it manually now.
I discharged it completly. Then put it on again with the charger connected.
I pulled the charger when it was booted and let it discharge for about a minute or such.
Then I set it to airplane and did not touch it overnight.
Now the battery runs much longer.
I had with stock battery after a normal day of use usually not enough battery. It usually died in the evening at work.
Now leaving work I still have a bit less than half of the battery left.
Great!
Great stuff

3500ma extended battery with cover from Amazon

I received this battery from Amazon last weekend. LG Optimus 2X G2x P999 Black Battery Door With 2700mAh Battery I'm on my second charge cycle (actually 13% left before I charge on the second cycle) and my phone has been up over 2 1/2 days, see screenshot.
I got lucky and then sent me a 3500mAh battery instead of the 2700mAh one advertised. Total cost to me was $8.74. Cheap enough and the larger battery more than makes up for the larger battery cover. After a couple of days, I barely notice the larger size.

Grats... Enjoy the battery!
Thanks. While I don't use my phone as much as I used to since I got my tablet, the battery life is amazing.
lol, in for one. At $8 its worth a try.
I just bought one off of Ebay yesterday. Supposed to be here Monday. Looking forward to it.
Received mine a few days ago. EASILY tripled my battery life, (coming from the Andida 1980mAh, running Owain CM9 beta, with Harsh kernel). $8 well spent, thanks!
I got that battery a month or two ago, at first it worked great, after 20 cycles or so the battery just tool a big dump. I mean yeah it still lasts last longer than the stock battery but it last half if what it originally started at

That's my question for anyone who buys the el-cheapo extended life batteries, how long do they really last? I can't see paying $8 every month cause the battery won't hold a charge after that time.
Anyone know any good ones?

I bought my Anker 2800mAh on April 26, 2012. It's been almost a full 2 months into its life and still functioning as well as it did when I bought it. Get close to 45-46hrs of function going from a full 100% down to the teens. Mind you my usage will be different than yours (as it always is the case), but I can't complain about my new battery at all.
I've had this battery for almost a month now. I'm still getting 2+ days use out of it. No sign of`lessened use. Am still happy with this purchase.
I actually made a video for this battery, or I assume its the same one.. I ordered the 2700 because I didn't like the way the 3500 curved but I ended up getting the 3500 and you adjust to it pretty quick, got mine months ago still holding up strong, can get easy 40 hours on my kind of usage when its moderate and on heavy usage (my style) 24-28 hours.
I've had a pair of these batteries for close to 8 months now. I I have to say between the two they ate amazing ith equally consistent results. I usually get around 30-35, hey usage most I've gotten out of it surprisingly was a little over 80hrs! With light usage.

I got the 2700 mAH battery and have had it for two days. Charged it first time fully and used and got a whole 14 hours out of it. Charged again fully and left it on charger after showing full for another 3 hours. Shut the phone down and wiped battery stats and restarted. Still getting questionable life. With the stock battery runn HFS 1.8 and the latest Harsh kernel OC'd to 656 Min and 1400 max and UV'ing as well I used to get about 10 hours off of a stock battery. Now I am seeing 14 with the 2700 mAH. Granted the OC doesn't help but I should be seeing more than 4 hours. No?

did you follow the directions and leave it charging over night fully discharge and charge again all that usually helps keep improving the charge life but then again sometimes you just get a dud battery I was getting over 20 hours on my similar battery and upgraded to higher getting way over a day

Hyperion 5200mAh Extended Battery For Galaxy S4

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with Hyperion extended batteries for the Galaxy S4?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...F8&qid=1386316276&sr=8-1&keywords=s4+hyperion
I'm going to be ordering one soon but thought I should ask about the performance and experience by people who may have used it. It says that the battery now has NFC, can anyone using it confirm if it is true?
The battery has positive reviews on Amazon. Can anyone also tell how fat does the S4 get when used with the battery? Also what timings are you guys getting with the battery? Is an external case needed to avoid any ugliness or anything?
All this and if you have anything to else to add would be of great help.
I had a Hyperion with my s3 and it was a good battery. They have great customer service. It seemed like it started draining a little more than normal at 6 months or so but it could have been my imagination or poor cell signal. I emailed them for help/info and they rushed another battery out free of charged. Was willing to send the old one back but they told me to keep it.
I'd definitely buy from them again. I did get mine on Amazon like most things I buy. Went with a 3000 mah zero lemon for my s4 due to size. Lots of nice cases for stock size phones. Would love an extended waterproof case.
Curious about this as well. I had one for my Galaxy Nexus and it was great. Made the phone usable for most of the day finally. This phone has been pretty decent on battery, but when I know I am going to be using it a lot more it would be nice to have the extra battery.

Hi,
I have had them for my S3 and now my S4.
I have one of the 5200's for my S4. I get at least
2 days out of it with 20-30% left on second day.
No complaints at all.

Likewise, I have used Hyperion extended batteries in my S3 and now the 5200 in my S4. No complaints except I would like to find a water resistant extended protective case.
I have the 7500mah battery for my phone. And I can say I'm very pleased with it. The case it comes with is actually easier to hold. I'd definitely recommend it. I actually got around 11 hours of screen time when I first got it!

So it's been three days since I received my Hyperion 5200mah battery. Although the correct battery timings and percentage maybe shown after 4-5 cycles of charge-discharge-recharge, I'll post the screenshots of mine and will post again after the 4-5 cycles...

The charge cycle said is to be 10-12 hours however the battery is charging to a full faster than the said time. Could it be because of the difference in voltage? If I'm not wrong, US uses 110v mainly and here in KSA we have 220-240v. Could it be because of this?
Got a quick question!
I was instructed to let the phone charge for 10-12hrs even if the phone shows 100% full charge notification. How did you guys charge it?
You are not forced to charge it that long on first charging process. I did it not and do not have any problems.
More important is that if you charge your phone from now on, you have to charge 1-2 hours longer (depending on battery size 5200 vs 7500 mAh) after you have reached 100%.

I see. Thank you.
Normal charge takes around 5-6hours now which means I should charge for 7-8 hours in total.

What do you mean?
Hyperion has pretty good quality, and their warranty support is good. Anker is another good brand for the extended batteries. (They don't do cases though)
Hyperion has a really nice TPU case that fits over the extended battery..
Screen time
Any news about screen time from you guys? That 9hrs screen time seems a bit ungodly
