The Omnia 7 uses the same battery as the Omnia HD (i8910)
So you can get replacement ones quite cheaply on ebay.
what I really want is a battery charger case...
you get them in Korea for other phone models but have yet to see any here at all.
basically it's a small case to carry your battery in, but it has a little port so you can charge your spare battery whenever.
it means you don't have to wait around and you always have a spare charged battery at hand.
this one is for the galaxy s

why can't we have stuff like this? it would make life so much easier!
ups wrong thread
That would really be cool.
But I am pretty happy with the battery performance...
i heard a lot of good thing about omnia 7 battery before buying it, but i am somewhat disappointed right now. it does not last me 8-20. God forbid if i played anything on the loudspeaker, when i'm say, camping.
i really hope the next mayor breakthrough in tech is in this area, instead of unnecessary quad-cores and whatnot.
I fully agree, I wish there was more impovement made in the battery field! I don't think there is a need to have processors any faster than 1Ghz. It's simply a marketing tool to get all the fools thinking that they have a better phone because it has a dual core processor etc. Now on a desktop computer where you will REALLY multitask (watch a video whilst photoediting, surfing the web and chatting on MSN) multi-core processors make sense. On a phone, there can only be one application in the foreground at any one time.
Anyway, I can confirm with the OP that the Omnia HD battery does work. I am using one right now!
Battery life for me is somewhat amazing! I went to a wedding where I must have played games for atleast 2-3 HOURS, then surfed the web somewhat, sent plenty of txt messages and a few phone calls. Lasted the full day, got home, went to bed, started surfing the web and the battery refused to die!
Whereas on other days, the battery tends to die quicker :S It's hit or miss sometimes.
Battery technology has definitely not caught up with smartphone technology. Many consumers are opting to an extended battery or a spare battery. Try batteries4less online.
Try mugen power

I grabbed the 1800mah mugen. It's incredible.
I'll spend the day with moderate surfing/news feeds/gaming and often I'll be at 50-60% battery. It's ridiculous I almost don't believe it.
That being said, it takes hours to charge via USB (from almost dead to full takes approx. 9-10 hours.)
What about this 2430 mah battery:

if you scrape the cover off, it's 750mah inside.
go for oem, all the rest are fakes (esp china ones) and the genuine ones like mugen are 200% more expensive than oem ones for marginal benefit.
my omnia was suffering from battery issues and i realized although the phone is new, the battery was old, so i bought a new one from amazon for £7 inc shipping. has worked fine ever since. normal days usage, 1hr of calls, 2 hrs browsing, 1 hr texting and the occasional game and i have 45% at the end of the day when im recharging. i have two email accounts on push, location on, wifi on.

Question about the Mugen Batteries
Whew, first post! Anyhow, I have seen the Mugen batteries listed previously for other phones I have used. I've always been curious, but never brave enough to pull the trigger on one. Is anyone aware of any battery draw-down tests involving their products? I'd be curious if someone were to use something WP Bench's battery drain test to get a valid comparison of the standard 1500mah to the extended 1800mah cell.
After about a month's use I can safely say my phone has yet to fully drain.
I do charge every night, and often the charge floats around 50% after a full day's use. I surf quite a bit (on wifi), play some games, etc. I admit though, that since getting Mango my Omnia doesn't grab 3G as often as it used to (it's usually on EDGE). This is a known issue with Mango, so I'm sure I'd see heavier drain if I was on 3G all the time.
Since I bought the Mugen day one, I can't really compare it to the stock battery. I too, would be curious about WP Bench drain tests. If I have some time where I don't need my phone, I'll try it out.
Anyone had any experience with this site?

claiming they have 2400 batteries for the Omnia 7 for £25...it doesn't look as obviously fake as the ones on eBay, and it says they provide a warranty ect.
Im looking for a genuine samsung battery for my omnia 7, mine came deffective, does anybody can tell me a trust website? thanks!
mugenpower 1800mAh drain test
I compared the 1800mAh mugen battery with a stock (about 8 months old).
First you have to go through several discharge/recharge cycles as they recommend.
using WP7 Bench Battery test :
stock lasted 3:48.49 (225mins)
mugen lasted 4:35.52 (275mins).
So an improvement of 22%.. which is what you would expect if the battery really had 20% more capacity as advertised.
at USD$46 these are not cheap, but the phone now lasts a complete day with my typical use, and it didn't use to - so to me it's worth it.
BTW the delivery from the official site was free and quick (under a week)
hummmmm

"Free extended cover included" do you want to make the phone any bigger?
By what i read on others forums, the 2400 mAh is a fake, so the 1800 mAh's Mugen is simply the best choice.
Akku-King
I bought "Akku-King" 1750 mAh in December and it works fantastic. In "normal" use 2 days.

My first battery replaced by manufacturer, capacity 1500 mAh and it lasts 12 hrs fully internet used.
Gooooooooooood evening every1,
I'm Antony and I will be discussing the progress and my personal review on the new 1800 mah Mugen Power battery for my HTC G2 that I bought and received yesterday.
1st of all the stock battery that it comes with when you buy it is a 1300mah battery, which for me is not enough, for I am a very heavy user of the net and I use plenty of apps and games, plus I tinker with my G2 all thee time. That battery would not last the whole day for a person such as I, unless I just use my G2 to text, then I might have some battery left at night till I need to recharge. I bought my G2 in the beginning of Jan and have had it till now which is the 7th of June. So it would be 5 months with it, and I've hated the battery from day 1 because I would use the gps nav to help me get around, and after using it my battery would just collapse in charge =( the necessity of a car charger had to come along, that's not a big deal, but I lost the damn thing. So I noticed my friend had an extended battery for his evo and I decided to search the net for a battery for my G2 ( I love saying it, its just soo damn powerful and fast, it deserves to be called by its name instead of just a phone, we all know its not just that) and I found plenty of batteries; stock, and extended. But just soo many that I didn't know which would be reliable. Then I ran into the Mugen Power batteries. I did research on reviews and what previous customers thought of their batteries. And they were all mostly well, above average, i'd say 4/5 on the scale. Only complaints I found was that they didn't last as much as the stock battery so they thought it was garbage.
Now here is my take on the battery after only 1 day of using it.
I put it to charge for a bit over 12 hours, maybe 15, but no more than 24 for sure, as instructed on the packaging ( instructions were short and simple, nothing techy nor complicated ) and after finishing with the charge I disconnected it, and the battery begins to leak what I believe was battery acid through the back door! Can u believe that?! Nor could I! That's y it didn't happen! Haha, just kidding, as I was, I disconnected it and began using it like I normally would. I had wi-fi on, with the back light low on 25% because I was indoors, and the mp3 player was running. To add to that I went on some social networking website, and various other websites not in search of anything specific but just browsing my interests. Checked my gmail various times and last but not least, browsed the market. After a while my battery was at 75% I did the calculation and estimated that it would last 5 more hours till it hit 50%. And I was approximately correct! It went about 10 hours till it hit 50% I was impressed. The stock battery would never give me a result like that after using it like I regularly would, not even on day 1 out of the box. Now this is only from today as my 1st day of use with the 1800 mah Mugen Power battery. I will continue to use it and post my further results. I will continue to recharge the battery for at least 12 hours as instructed 3 to 5 times. I feel confident that it will give me even better results after completing the charging instructions. I believe that the unsatisfied customers that gave bad reviews might of not followed the instructions to properly charge the battery, they might of thought that it just any other battery that u just charge to 100 percent the second it reaches there and u can immediately disconnect it and use it while expecting to get the 100% charging results... well its not, let me say that they mightve been idiots that cannot follow instructions.
To wrap this up; stock battery sucks, new battery is WORKING! And with great results. Apple can kiss my ass and diamonds are forever.
If you have any questions or comments please post them here, I would like to read about your personal experience with a Mugen Power battery.
HTC G2 (1516mhz in speed!!! Be jealous!!)
You have diamond on your ass? Lol j.k
In seriousness, thanks for the review. I'll have a try at the new battery soon.
You should also calibrate the battery with the phone after mugen's instructions. I plan on getting one of those after a few more reviews.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 PyroMod 2.0 via tapatalk
No mention as to how much it cost? Lol. And I agree with the stock battery sentiment. Mine died on me today after browsing the internet for 30 minutes max, music throughout the day, and Plants Vs. Zombies for 40-ish minutes. Boo.
It's possible to get if for around 20, maybe 22 euro's, excluding shipping.
I think i'm going to buy one
Do you bought it from the Mugen website ? If not could you give us a link

Care to provide a link?
Mugen's site lists it at $45 USD, that's about 32 Euros.
I bought 3500 mAh battery from DealXtreme. Cost $11.90 with shipping.
Comes with it's own back plate because the battery is so thick. Very ugly looking and heavy but lasts about twice as long as the stock battery
I can't provide a link or pictures as I am not yet allowed to post links here.
hey, cheers for the review... how many hours in total is it lasting now? and did you have to cut any covers off the battery to make it fit or did it just fit nicely out of the box
but the g2 has kind of a weird back. does the battery stick out and need a bigger cover? how does that look on the g2? (pic please)

I have one of these batteries. it's quite big and you need to use the cheap cover that comes with it. It's good to have if you're traveling.
My apologies for not posting earlier, battery continues to deliver great results. This battery actually last the whole day. This days results were 15 hours straight on moderate use and still has 30%. Some of you have asked for a link, I believe that I am not allowed to post links, I may be mistaken. But its the 1800mah Mugen Power battery. Its the exact same size as the stock battery. I didn't need to cut anything on it to make it fit with the original cover, fits in perfectly. Here in the United States, it cost about 44 dollars plus about 3 dollars extra for 1st class shipping. I bought it from the official website, if you find a better deal somewhere else, well congratulations, I hope it delivers its full capacity.
Any more questions? Comments?

I agree with this. No cutting or bad fit, and is better than stock. Not by as much as you would think from the difference in capacity, but I find it noticeable. Now happy with phone life.
I just got mine yesterday. I left it on the charger for 12 hours, as suggested, and I've had it on for 4 1/2 hours, 3 of that was constant GPS use with the screen on. I'm at just barely 1/2 charge now. At the very least, this will get me through an entire work shift of heavy use.
1800 mah battery. Cost $49 off Amazon, shipped Friday, got here last night.
If I had the money, I would compare this one to the Andida 1800mah battery and post a thread for comparison for that. I have thought many times about getting the andida battery but don't want to spend money on a battery without more juice. I have been saving for this battery for a little while now. Hopefully, I can get it soon because I do have an 1800mah battery for an Evo made by andida.
Yes, it's not the same but it could be used as a comparison for this battery...
I got this battery. It's a barely noticeable improvement over the stock battery.
You might not have the exact same battery that I have. I bought it from their official website. Not Amazon. If you do have the same battery, did you charge it as instructed on the packaging? If you did not, then there is your problem. If you did just as instructed and it still doesn't work, and if its an exact Mugen battery, just like we have, then you may just have a defective battery.
I would post pictures but I am not allowed to post yet.
The review sucks; Very unprofessional, no model numbers, etc.
This sounds more like an ad than anything else.
Second, do you use SetCPU? Im a heavy user (surfing, downloading, angry birds, etc) as well and out of 24 hours about 6 Id say, the phone is idle and SetCPU kicks in downclocking it to 200mhz when the screen is off. In those conditions Ive seen the phone go down to about 60%
Third, do not tell funkeee his battery is defective. Battery life depends on so many other things such as reception, individual components, etc.
I'm considering shelling out the 50 bucks for a 1700mha battery from Mugen.
I'm using an LG Quantum with the stock 1500. Anyone ever use one? Does it extend the life that much to be worth it?
...I also saw their monster 3400. The life would be great, but no thanks on the bulk-factor.

quick math tells me that the energy storage capacity for the 1700 is roughly 10% increase. Remember:
mAh = milli amp-hours. The number of hours the battery can sustain a one milli amp drain and is equivalent to the battery's capacity.
I do not believe it's worth the upgrade at that price. Also keep in mind that it will take longer to charge a higher capacity battery.

Interesting, I did not know that.
Many thanks for the advice. With that logic, no it's probably not a very good idea.
yeah... 10% increase is not worthed.. unless you go from 1300 to 1800 as in my mozart.. big increase
Also keep in mind these non OEM batteries may say 1800+ mAH, but the overall battery quality can be awful. I've heard some horror stories of leaking batteries, and the overall total capacity going down after only about a month or 2 of use.
HTC Arrive user here and I was using a 1800mah battery (coming from a 1500mah) and I say its worth it...straight up destroys the 1500mah. The only thing thats "meh" is that although it does seem to fully charge the battery, it just doesnt report it right. So at first it'll seem like the battery life is the same, but thats because you need to reboot the phone to get the right reading. For example, if you're at 100% and take it off the charger and do some nonsense, the reading will be the same as if you had the stock battery. But if you took it off the charger and immediately rebooted...you'd be on 100% for a long time (for me, with constantly listening to music after taking it off the charger and rebooting...I'd be on 100% for about 25-30 minutes).

Which battery maker are you using and does that 1800 fit the same profile as the 1500 one?
...I bought a Mugen 1800mAh battery for my Mozart and I am very happy with it.
I am now at ~ 60 hours per charge against 36 hours with the original battery...
I also got the 1800mah Mugen battery for my Verizon HTC Trophy. It does last longer than the OEM, in real world, maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour of talk time (standby longer )
Hey guys,
Spent some time searching and reading the relevant threads on G2x, and the final consensus seems to me that there is no widespread agreement with respect to the question I've posed in the thread title. It seems to me that the only extended batteries that are guaranteed to give more than just a 30-60min boost are the 3000mah+ batteries that require using a much larger back cover that turns the G2x into a G2XL.
Hoping there's someone who can prove me wrong. I'm about to buy the G2x for its fantastic specs and low price for use on T-Mobile's prepaid monthly plan. Andida extended battery gets mixed reviews. Same for Prodicell batteries. The one battery for which I'd like to see some results is the "Seidio Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Battery for use with LG Thrill 4G, Optimus 3D, LG G2X and Optimus 2X" listed on Amazon.com. (Couldn't post link due to my low post number).
Any thoughts thus far? Will I need to turn my G2x smartphone into a giantphone to get noticeable increases in battery life?

I read about the so-called "gold" batteries. I'm reserving final judgment but remaining skeptical until we can get some extensive tests showing they're worth replacing the stock.

As they say in the automotive world, "There's no replacement for displacement"..
Basically, yeah, if you want a noticeable increase in battery life, then you will need to accept a noticeable increase in battery size. No way around it.
I have seen people spend $50 or more on 'name brand' extended batteries that are the same size as stock, and they rarely give any more battery life than a brand new stock battery.
Think about it - with the phone market as competitive as it is, if there were a battery that offered significant increases in battery life without an increase in size, do you think the major manufacturers would ignore that and allow some Chinese knock-off company to capitalize on it? Not a chance.

You're probably right.
Back in the day (remember when cellphones were, well, just cellphones?) it was just Sanyo and Panasonic and a few other Japanese companies dominating the lithium-ion battery market. Now even Samsung's caught up to them in terms of market share and they've been working overtime to get as much battery life as possible out of their phones. And they have to--check out the competition lately!
Bah. I guess I'm pretty much left to working on every single possible software fix to up my battery life. I'll be reading up on the ROM guides. I hear CM7 is a good rom.
I know you said you didn't want to buy a bigger battery, but assuming you cave in, I can tell you first hand that these batteries actually do last MUCH longer. I can go a full 12 - 16 hours HEAVY usage with "4G". The door itself feels kinda cheap but it's lasted me a good 10 months so far.

i know that a case would make it even thicker... but do they have tpu cases or some type of cover that protects the corners?
I have been looking for something similar, a case for my extended 3500 mAh battery. The back IS larger, of course, the battery appears to be slightly more that double the depth of the stock battery. However, that being said, the design could be worse. I saw another extended battery that was the same size with a god awful protruding rectangle that made the phone look completely off balance. The battery I purchased here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3500mAh...ccessories&hash=item2a18e3208c#ht_1358wt_1041 looks, eh, alright
But anyways, I figure the only hope is for me to make a mould of the phone, and perhaps build one.
For OP I use the Andida 1980mah and it works great. It tests at 1980mah and gives me significant life over stock.
1500 vs 1980
Same size as stock for around $10

I'm personally hesitant to commit to that battery. I went ahead and got a 3500mah battery. So far, the performance is quite good. It's allowed me to experiment with other rom/kernel packages that aren't as battery-friendly as tsugi, but offer tons of tweaks.

With stock battery and medium-heavy usage I can get 18 hours on EB and Trinity.... I would think I could easily get into the range of 12-16 with Heavy, but you probably mean EXTREMELY heavy usage.
Also, many people said the Andida battery gave them a few hours extra, thought of trying it but when I look at the ebay page for it the packaging looks extremely cheap... Which leads me to believe the battery is probably also very cheaply made and could easily fry your phone.

For OP I use the Andida 1980mah and it works great. It tests at 1980mah and gives me significant life over stock.
1500 vs 1980
Same size as stock for around $10

I've also had good luck with this battery, definitely better than stock. I haven't tested it scientifically, this is purely an anecdotal opinion based on using both for a long time.
i've been using the 3500 mah battery for around 6 months, no problem.
the original 1500 mah battery is bull****, it only supports your phone for like 12 hours max, you have to keep looking at the battery level if you dont want your phone endup dead.
with the extended battery i can go all day long, in heavy 3g mode. yes its bulky, but you will get what you're looking for. luckily i got it with a pair of desktop charger that i put in my office and home desk, so i never miss any recharge.
i dont think 1980 battery will improve a lot, on paper it suppose to add another 2-3 hours of battery time. but compare it with the 3500, and you will have 150% plus on your battery life.
i got it for $9 in spider-foot dot com

1700 mAh -- not hugely better in terms of mAh.. but it makes a big difference for me. the stock battery will not last a whole day (12 hrs) - but I easily get 17-18 hrs from the chichitec.. just saying. .
I have easily gotten >24 hrs in low usage.. i think best was 22hrs to 40%.. but that was wifi and a couple phone calls only on Morfic's XLP-GB kernel.. a bit on the pokey side.. but okay for wifi calling ..

thanks, I've been on the fence between ordering the 2x chichitecs or the 2x 1800 hyperions... think I might go with the chihitecs now. I've read in reviews that the included charger sucks though, doesn't always work... hows your experience with it?

12 hours? Bull****. I can easily get over a day on the stock battery and 3 on a 3500.
Maybe on the stock ROM the battery is that bad, but no ROM here gives that bad battery
And not only does that 3500 mAh battery give you 150% more battery, it makes your phone look like a retarded bloated whale and a viable floatation device, What a steal!

I can confirm that on the stock, my phone lasts 12h on average. I'm using EB with ELP Trinity.
Keep in mind that how much a phone lasts you is a very subjective statistic. You can use a phone much less/more than someone else, and thus the battery life would be longer/shorter. The appearance of the extended 3500mAh batteries is also subjective.
If we're going to be objective here:
The stock battery lasts about 4-6h of active usage (having the screen on, with a data connection, and running applications that actually make use of the CPU). How many hours of light usage/stand-by someone might have in between those 4-6h of usage varies from person to person. (i.e. someone might use their phone heavily for an hour, then have 5h of really light usage/stand-by, then another hour of heavy usage, and so on until a cumulative 4-6h of active usage has been accumulated)
The extended 3500mAh battery, while doubling the thickness of your phone also increases your battery life 150%-200%.
The reviews for extended batteries that are the same size as stock aren't at all consistent. They vary from people saying they perform worse, to people saying they give a much longer battery life. The only battery that has mostly positive reviews is the Anker 1550mAh, which has been told to run cooler and last a bit longer. Of course having only a 50mAh advantage over the stock, the increase in life shouldn't be expected to be too substantial.

That's gotta be the ELP voltages being too low for you and thus causing higher battery drain, try the T15 and undervolt till you find your voltage sweet spot, you will get way better battery than that.
I use my phone pretty heavily through the day, Music, Games, text, web, calls, etc... and I'm getting much higher than 12 hours.

Hey there guys,
I'm thinking about buying this slim battery without needing an new cheap ugly cover. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...tery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p990-t-mobile-g2x.html
I know 44$ / 36€ (after using a fb coupon) with free shipping is a lot. Especially for only 200mAH more. 1700 vs. 1500 stock battery. (13% increase)
Though so far I only read ans only found good reviews about mugen batteries, and 13% increase seems more realistic than 1900mhA or 2400mha with same size as stock. Those other extended slim batteries - most of them get a lot of bad reviews.
I'm a simple guy who likes to think paying more is better quality. at least in this case. before I wanted to buy this though, I wanted to ask for you opinions.
Any vote against Mugen? anyone bought this before?
Even if I'll buy it. I'd be hard for me to test if this battery really lasts longer. It's over a year old and with customizing and playing I charged it so often. and i think it's kinda broken, getting really hot (even with stock rom and different chargers), dieing much faster (even in standby).
thanks in advance
13% increase isn't worth it in my book. However if you have cash to spend, splurge.

Honestly, I'd rather pay 10 bucks for an OEM battery and have 2 batteries (which is what I already do). 13% for 40 bucks is ridiculous.
1 in the phone, one on a charger. Swap out dead battery when you need a fresh new one, instant 12+ hours.

it's not only the 13% I'm thinking about to pay more it's also about the quality. Mugen seem to have a pretty good standing about keeping capacity high for a long time and lasting for a lot more charges, while other extended slim batteries seem to have lots of reports about fast decreaing capacity after one or two months and not lasting for too many charges.
haven't bought it yet... can't make my mind up about this...

So how did the mugen power battery turn out?
Always get a genuine OEM battery. Aftermarket batteries don't have a temperature sensor and so can quickly overheat and damage your phone.
Most extended batteries don't really have the capacity they claim to have.
