An extra internal 50mah battery to make removable batteries hot swappable without a reboot. Or do only small numbers of people even have a second battery?

You have to replace the battery about once every 2 years. That shouldn't be a burden. You should be rebooting the phone more often than that.

The point of having a second battery is like if your first one is almost dead and you don't have charger you can use the spare. Its a good idea.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
That's a very good idea.
That means you don't have to turn off the phone to change a battery.
I don't have a secondary battery for now but, I'm thinking of getting one.
Well thanks for the replies. For some reason in my head I imagine swapping a battery like changing a mag in a gun. Pop a clip, slide it out and another in. Maybe a manufacturer will get around to it some day XD

This would be a good idea, but another user made a point about battery pulls, the phone would stay on as you attempt to force shut it down.
Also, boot times are getting faster and faster, and waiting for the phone to boot is not that bad anymore.

I don't think this is a good idea... One battery should last at least 2 days, to me the hot swapping thing is not practical.

Yeah there's a ton of these type of devices on eBay and Amazon.com ... they're great and don't require the phone to power off to use. I carry the energizer 4000mah model in my travel bag for such cases where I need a boost.
Yours looks pretty tho, the white is nice.
Yes, for the reason that darker colors when they have scratches it is very visible compare to white.
My case is white too see picture below.

They have them from 1000 mah to 18,000 on amazin for $15-$200 based on weather u want to re-charge 1x all the way to 100 times per recharge, hehe
I'd go with Energizer tho, the off brands tend to use crap cells inside, just like aftermarket batteries often do for the phones.

Our phones, unless they detect the iCharging resistors of the mintyboost as USB, will probably pull too much current for a mintyboost.

Current is limited to 600 mA without kernel hacks. This backup battery is, I assume, 5000 mAh, so it should be able to charge the phone for around 7-8 hours at 600 mA.
Although that may be 5000 mAh at the backup battery's pack voltage, which translates to maybe 4000 mAh at 5v output. (Conservation of energy... It's a bit better to rate stuff like this in watt-hours but everyone just advertises the pack rating, ignoring inefficiencies in the boost converter used to reach 5v output.)
Edit: Oh, this one IS rated in watt-hours. 19 Wh translates to 3.8 amp-hours at 5 volts assuming a 100% efficient power supply, in reality it's probably around 3.2-3.4 amp-hours on the 5v output.
thanx now i know what to ask for christmas lol

This is why I'm really hoping they work on better battery management for phones coming out in 2012. Does anybody really need a 2ghz quadcore phone when there battery will just die in 3 hrs? I'm perfectly content on 1ghz cpu's(there fast enough) hopefully with any luck future phone displays,cpus,gpus,etc all work together on ICS to bring a couple days of real time use, instead of just a couple hours without having to buy extended batteries/charge etc..

That's what I'm saying man. They're moving too fast with these processor cores. I say, take a year off on engineering processors and spend that time on extending battery life and make better batteries. I'm more than content with dual cores as it is.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Best way to extend battery life is to work on the cpu. If you shrink the cpu the it will use less watts per cycle. Also nvidia made a smart upgrade with its quad core by putting in a fifth slow main core. So work in parallel. Engineers work on making the cpu efficient and programmers should stop being lazy. It's not like these companies can't multi task
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
They said the same thing about dual core saving battery life, that was a joke! Only way I get decent battery life is with my 3500mah extended.
Still I do agree that those 28nm krait s4 chips should take less battery usage, but I'm talking about more then just achieving much longer overall battery life from multiple factoring issues android has(better displays,gpu,cpu,larger stock OEM batteries,ui,etc) hopefully ICS and jellybean really step up to provide the ultimate android experience without having to charge our phones every 4-6 hr's lol

I am using eaglesbloods latest and using morfics elp kernel. I only get battery life like this when I'm in good service areas all day fyi. When I install a rom I really like, I erase the entire phone, reformat everything literally, then load the rom and kernel from USB mount in clockwork mod. I feel its best to have a completely clean flash. Then I charge the phone to 100 and calibrate battery stats. Some days I get battery life where I'm at 20% at 20 hours, others much much better. I'm always using the phone moderately. When I first read tthis and checked I was at 60% at 20 hours. Tried to post a screenshot bur it wouldn't work ... def. not pulling your left though. Also the only thing I sync is email every half hour. I uninstalled Facebook because it always runs in the background... makes me uncomfortable.

I take it you use ghost armor or use it naked? Yeah, it does bulge but I use a case so I don't see it. I never actually needed longer battery life anyways, though. I grabbed it cuz it was $25 and now I have a spare. With oem battery mine lasts well over 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time, auto brightness, emails, weather and everything else syncing. I would never run a cheapo battery though.
greekunit690 does the one you ordered require a different battery cover? Or is it just the same size? Samsung really should make an extended battery. Actually all cell phone companies need to make the batteries bigger like the driod razr maxx

I've been using this battery since Feb 17th. The stock battery would only get me through the work day and even then sometimes barely. Now I easily can go through the evening with about 30% left before I plug it in for the night. Once I forgot and it was at 1% the next morning which the stock never would've lasted that long.
I wasn't aware we could use the Nexus extended battery. Since I use a case I may switch to that. If I can find one at a good price on Prime.
How the heck do you get 5 hours of screen time and have it last 24 hours? Even with the nexus battery juice defender running I can get maybe 3-4 hours.

Juice defender is sucking down your battery. I run Gideons script as well as some other mods. Easily go over 24 hours, usually 2 days. With the extended battery I have gone over 8 hours screen on.

Well my trusty and beloved Skyrocket finally gave up the ghost due to a busted power button. I didn't want to return it again for another one as the call quality wasn't ever very good lots of people always complaining that they could not understand me. So I went and got me an HTC One. I quickly found out after getting it that it didn't come with an SD Card slot.............ARGHHHHH! And I also cannot use an extra battery which I always carried with me on the Rocket. This phone seems to be much better behaved battery wise after a day of using it but I will reserve judgement until I fully charge it and use it for a day. I am going to use all day tomorrow and see how I like it and if it doesn't measure up (probably won't) I am returning it for a GS4 or maybe wait for the GS4 Active if I have time???
Keep the one. It's an amazing device and the battery will surprise you. I recommend you install arhd and greenify. I get outstanding battery life. Far better than my old rocket.
