Has anyone found an extended battery our better battery for this phone? It seems using gps and web for 15 mins eats almost 40% of the battery. I'm afraid to leave home with out my charger now, as dumb as it sounds. And this is with screen brightness at zero, juice defender ultimate, and various other battery saving things. Already did a BBS but it seems the battery just sucks
if you're using GPS the battery is going to drain. Though 40% sounds steep that is why I have a car charger. And honestly some of those battery saving apps only make it worse...don't overdo it with those.
As far as your question it has already been asked...no need to ask again.

The ones for the galaxy nexus work on the blaze

40% in 15 mins? Impossible. If so, your battery is defective. The galaxy nexus GSM battery I read works on this phone, try that.

The 2000mah Galaxy Nexus battery would fit, but I doubt the battery cover would.

For users who purchased the extended battery (2200mah), how much bigger (physical size) is it then the 1500mah default battery?
2200 mAh is actually a fairly nice battery. My Droid X extended battery is only 1930 mAh but i get ~13-17 hours of battery life and the X has a huge LCD display. I could only imagine what the Fascinate would get with that big a battery and Super AMOLED haha.
The word according to a bunch of tests is the Droid X has the best battery life, about 3 hours than the SGS line on a single charge. On average with my Epic I'm getting about 12 hours without recharge, so a 2200 mAh battery should go roughly 18 hours. Again, mileage will vary from user to user. I do what I would consider is around heavy usage.
Just traded Droid X in for Fascinate and had the extended battery for the X. They gave me the extended battery as an even exchange for the SGS and I am seriously considering returning the thing. It is Ginormous and makes the phone look disgusting. The X's extended battery at least kept the phone looking good.
i'm very curious about the extended battery and the cover that comes with it. could you post a pic of the phone with them installed, plz?
The thing is huge.

Hmmmm makes he think twice about it now... I can't go twelve hours on standby without the phone going completely dead. The battery life I'm getting is the worst ever. How can it die so fast when its not being used at all?

i get 12-14 hrs without dropping down to 1/2 battery with calls paired w/bluetooth headset ,web,texting,emails,twitter, and beautiful widgets all running !! this is one of the best batteries on a android phone ive had so far !! right up there with my droidx !!
I gotta say it a great battery but I must decide what is more important to me longer battery or a case with belt clip hmmmm.

I'd rather carry an extra stock battery, then deal with that.
With the extended battery in.... It looks like the phone is pregnant, lol.

Not sure what's up with yours, but mine gets fantastic battery life. Full charge at 8am and I go a day and a half with moderate-to-heavy call/text/game/web use. I'm extremely impressed with the battery life. My girlfriend hardly uses her's except for web browsing on lunch, and she almost squeezes 3 days out of it!

Hey guys I just upgraded to the extended battery and was wondering the best way to properly break in and how long to charge for the first time, any help would be appreciated thanks

The best way I've seen, in my experience, to "train" a battery is to use it until it dies and then leave it charging overnight.
Yeah I would just let the battery do a couple charge and discharges

No need to do that with lithium batteries, they have no memory. This practice is from the old days of nickel cadmium batteries.

That may be true of the battery but is not for the phone.
Li battery's don't have a liner discharge and each battery has a different personalty lot to lot.
The phone learns the curve of the battery through discharge, so letting it discharge completely once or twice helps the phone more accurately display how much battery is left.
Oh okay guys, thanks fyi this battery is a huge improvement, I def recommend it, I actually used my phone quite a bit and from all day use only used 27 percent of battery and had data on, normally with barely any use id lose around 60 percent if not more with data off.. def like my thunderbolt again
edit: I'm on 3g only so I don't know how battery life would improve on 4g..

just to warn you.. i dont know what rom you are using, but keep an eye on the battery gauge while you are actually using the phone and make sure it's not 'sticking'.. i was running froyo bamfs on my extended and my percentage wouldn't properly update and i would have to restart it to update it or it would jsut randomly show up after a while... anywho i ended up going to GB and back to the stock battery, i hate how f***ing big that stupid thing is... its like holding a house phone.
You should probably clear battery stats and run a battery calibration app so it doesn't stick
Drive it like ya stole it!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yeah I always calibrate with every new rom install, but went ahead and did it on the new battery once I was at 100, the battery isn't so bad once you get used to it, the case can have a big difference on the feel of extended battery.
Mostly I love the fact I can use the phone to the fullest and not have to sacrifice anything and still have 70 percent at the end of the night

hey so finally im getting good battery life on my photon q! with an app called DS battery saver pro, its a couple dollars its worth it believe me. I took it off the charger at 9:30 am today and as of today at 7:22pm it was at 82% and I had used the phone for 10 hours and 50 seconds. im pretty surprised. I also drained my battery completely , because the thing with lithium ion battery's is that if you drain it and then charge it while its off completely it seems to restore the batter helping it last longer! if you want the link just let me know!:laugh:
Just thought id do an up date I turned of ds leaving wifi on and this is where its at. I've found turning one data service while leaving the other on saves battery It is now at 53 percent with 12 hours of battery life.

Hey guys i have a confusion in my mind that if i regularly charge my battery when it comes to 30-50% will it decrease the battery life or will it increase the battery life or is it better to charge it when its below 15% i read many forums some say its goods some say its bad.....

Doesn't matter, charge it when you want

Lithium batteries like to be "topped up" so its actually better to keep them closer to full charge (doesn't need 100% all the time).
So yeah, charge away and stop worrying about petty things in life
Just received my 4300 mAh Battery from MPJ For my SM-G900T. I will be seeing if it is any good been waiting for like 3 weeks for it. I am hoping to get battery life close or better then my LG G Flex. I'll let you guys know if anything. Also if you have gotten extended batteries for your S 5. let me know what brand, how many mAh it has and how much was it.

This is what i got with the Battery. Its pretty good. It drops from 100 really fast. You hit 80 in no time. I'm not sure if the phone can read it or not. After that it holds for awhile. I usually charge my phone at work. Where I basically spend my day watching movies. I feel if you use it light to medium you can get easy over 10 hours battery. If heavy use then you get about 8. So all in all its a decent battery for the price

This is with heavy use. The other was light use with about 3 hours screen time

I use the anker 7500 mah extended battery. I can easily get 30+ hours now even with heavy use. Only downside is it's heavy as hell.. Lol
Will look into this if my battery drains quick. Cheers.
