[Q] Has anybody tried this 3000 mAh battery?

Recently I was looking for a cover for my g2 phone when I saw this sale http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-cover-HTC-Desire-Z-G2-/140496797740?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b643002c#ht_1322wt_1139
It's a 3000 mAh battery with the back cover. Does anyone tried it or anyone similar in the past? Should I take the risk and pay $12.50 for it?
I would appreciate some opinions Thanks

Sorry this thread should be on Desire Z/ G2 area. My apologies. Can any moderator move it?

I always had good luck with the. Chinese extended batterys

for $12 I'm in for 1.

Yeah I actually recently got two 1500 mAh batteries that works like a charm so far. I'm just a little skeptical of this one because I don't know for sure if it'll be comfortable to have an extended back cover...

Wow that's a fat battery :O

..3500mah too

Pregnant phone anyone?

I bought 3 1500mAh batteries from HK. Same white lable, maybe same company. They work great, but it is annoying to change batteries.
My G1 was a pregant phone and I did love the extra bulk, but I'm not sure if I want the extra bulk on my G2, I've have to think this one over.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the reviews.

Just order the 3500mAh. Will report when I get it and test

Looks identical to the one I bought - which works fine. I only use it if I'm going to be away from a charger for a day, but it does the job.
The only other issue is it doesn't fit on the docking station :-(

Extended Battery??

Is there an extended battery for the skyrocket which does not require a cover? I thought I saw one on the samsung website or something. Anyone know?

Same. More mah doesnt mean better lifetime expectancies, quality of battery and ability to hold charge are HUGE factors

The battery just arrived I am a bit skeptical as to if it will fry my phone in the past friends have bought Chinese batteries and did the same. Any one have any input ? Maybe I should hook it up to a multimeter..

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.

Hows the battery life so far?

From you guys who already got the AT&T one x, how is the battery life compared to phones you've owned previously?

Only had it 1 day but I think it will be superior to or at least on par with my old galaxy s2

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm surprised there are not more posts on this. So how is it fellas?

had the phone since ten AM Thursday and it still has odd battery life. about 4-6, maybe 8. But this could just be me and it needing cycling. it does do some odd stuff, similar to what my GS2 did. Battery meter shows 95%, reboot and it will be 83% or maybe 99%, its a crap shoot.

After 3 full days:
16 hrs w/ 2hrs to go with light usage.
Monday when I am back at work will be the real test.
So far, the best battery life than any of my phones in the past 6months.
(Note, SGII SR,Vivid,Infuse)

There are.

This is from my first full charge cycle and it will likely be another hour or two before it dies. I'm in an lte market and was on lte probably 6 or 7 hours here. Rest on WiFi.

Great so far
So far the best of any android phone I've owned. It arrived with a dead battery, I fully charged and got excellent battery life. This is from my second charge usage. I keep screen brightness around 30-35% cause otherwise it bothers my eyes (I wear glasses).

it didn't for me either, but volume down + power button did.

Are you using a different launcher? Wondering if that's why the screenshot function isn't working. Just guessing.

I've heard the battery is great especially from all of the major reviews... I just picked mine up 10 hours ago and so far it seems excellent.

that's the correct way to do a screen shot in ICS

Is my idea any good?

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.

few questions anker extended battery !!

Hi
This is my first thread on this site. Please help.me understand a few things regarding anker extended batteries, before I decide to buy them.
1. Are these batteries safe to use ?
2. Do they perform well even if using for a year or so ? I have seen all short term reviews only.
3. Can u charge them inside the phone itself using stock wall charger as with normal batteries ? As you know HTC sensation back cover is all delicate. So removing it often isn't a good idea.
I have stock ROM and stock battery at the moment and not to mention I am sick of the original battery. Please help me understand the questions above so i can get myself a pair of those 1900mah performers.

Yes they are safe to use and yes you can charge them in your phone with your stock phone charger.I have had my banker battery for 13 months now with now problems.

Thanks for that info I do have one.more silly questions of mine. I am a developer, I often need you do debugging while phone is connected to PC and charging. So in regards to safety I hope anker batteries are just like HTC stock batteries. So.while its charging and in use simultaneously, I hope it won't explode or something sorry for being a safety paranoid.

How to get one?

i have a silly question too
what is the average backup time for Anker batteries (normal, heavy or constant usage)
thanks

From the research i have been doing on this i will say like about 20% more than htc stock battery on a average under same usage as with your stock battery.

Just received my anker battery set. Just letting ya all know. Btw, price has gone up now from $29 to $170. Lucky I got mine from a prior purchase

Still $30 on Amazon, if anyone wants to buy them without spending $170.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

Probably seller's mistake. I bought from the same seller through ebay and two days after, he set 2 pieces for $49. I paid $28 without the charger.

Just reporting in..
Using anker for 2 days here are my simple observations.
Up time : 20 hours
Awake time : 8 hours
Battery remaining : 16%
I am not a gamer, but i read a lot on phone and watch movies with flash player and talk (audio/video) to people over Skype / Viber everyday for over an hour. WiFi stays on whole day.. even when I sleep. So using the device continuous for over 7 hours on hand with brightness set to auto, and still having 14% of battery is a unexpected happiness for me.
I wouldn't want to expect more than this. !!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

8 hours with screen on? Which rom are you using? That's a really great performance! I got mine for 24 hours usage but only 2 screen on.

Am using stock ROM. My typical usage includes watching movies for 2 hours, web browsing for 1-2 hours.in total. Gtalk, viber, Skype usage. (About 1 hour or less) and music plays even when screen is off. Screen brightness is mostly auto because I don't like reflections when reading text. WiFi remains on all the time.
This is after anker, before that of I tried screen brightness it would need charging 2 times a say. Now I make it through whole day one single charge. Mind you I don't play games at all, so may be that helps.
