I want a battery that is higher than 900 mAh but the same size as the original 900 mAh so I don't need to make the diamond thicker and replace the back cover.
Does it exist yet?

Wow 1200 MaH. Impressive.
It says it's compatible with Diamond doesn't say anything about needing a cover so that is a bonus!

Thanks for posting, I hope someone gets one of the German ones and writes a review. 1/3 extra capacity would make a huge difference to me.

Well it didn't take that long to manufacture a battery the same size and near as danmit 2X the power did it.
All that juice in such a small space. Just hope it don't explode in my hand.

i remember having a HTC diamond in India.... the stock phone came with a 1350mAh battery.... i was surprised too....
The battery has arrived, can anyone recommend a program that can measure amps? I tried batlog but can't read it properly.
I charged it up fully and am running the GPS until it dies as the GPS rarely gets beyond two hours usually.
OK, so the the Diamond ran for about three hours before the 10% warning, so it feels like the battery has more capacity than the OEM. I will post up my impressions after a few days of real world use.
I think that at the price of 8Euro it is good value and would recommend this battery as a replacement.
The battery is actually marked as 1600mA.
It's not 1600mah
I'd be wary of anything bought from hongkong as they like hacking their tech. I got an mp3 player that was hacked to look like 32gig capacity but it was 16gig. Wouldn't surprise me if you had a funky battery. 3 hours is not a lot as I can get that out of my original phone. takes about 3 hours to drive from my house to the southwest and my phone is still kicking.

I would be inclined to agree, I don't think for a second that this battery is 1600mA, but it holds up well enough for the price. I have since checked the charge time and it's similar to the original.
So, 1600mA no, 8 Euro for a battery, yes.
My HTC Sensation has the battery it came with in the box from T-Mobile, and, well, the battery sucks a lot...
I have heard there are higher capacity batteries for the Sensation, but Im looking for a recommended one from you guys.
Please please please let me do the capacity on the one you recommend, and please provide a link! Thanks!
(Im looking for more power in one battery, not just another battery with same power)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1800-mAh-Ba...ccessories&hash=item2a12f9c54b#ht_2356wt_1102
Seems perfect and ideal. It's the messiah battery.
In bizarro world, of course.
There are a number of battery threads. If you searched a little, you'll see anker, chichitec, and mugen come up. All are decent aftermarket batteries.

Have a read of the Anker battery thread. Getting good results with mine now.

ordered the seidio 1900 for $49 form amazon. waiting for it to come in. my stock battery lasts me about 15 hours before i have to charge it, so the new one will definitely do the trick for me. i usually work or am out of the house for up to 20 hours at a time.

Don't be surprised if that Seidio clocks in at less than your stock batt.

Yupe it does come with a cover. Only covers I've seen for those battery are in black as well. I have the white skyrocket. Would love to have extra battery capacity as I ride with my phone listening to music on bluetooth for long rides...
Am I missing something? Cauz i see international sgs2 there so back cover belongs to that sgs2. Right?

Cover is not for our phone. Battery might work but the cover definitely wont.
My extended battery from my infuse fit right into my skyrocket. 3500mah. But the extended battery cover defiantly didn't fit. I really don't like the covers that are out right now for the extended battery, Im going to wait till they make one like the slopped one thats on my infuse.

Out of curiosity, we wouldn't be able to charge these extended batteries without a standalone charger right? I was told this was because our stock batteries have NFC built in with them and these extended ones don't... So when u connect ur phone to your standard usb charger, it just boot loops... Can anyone confirm this?

the powerskin is an addon to the 1850 battery in the skyrocket already so it gives you a total of 3350MAH, plus you get a higher quality battery so in the end its worth it.

Other members on XDA rated the Power Skin to be a bad choice for an addon battery. There are many post and threads regarding the charging of the battery becoming defective, the Power Skin causes the original battery to fail over time, etc. Multiple post regarding why the Power Skin is an awful product, but to me is the ONLY one that looks decent rather than an extended door panel.. If only they can make these extended batteries slim like the oem but pack a good ol' 3800 mah in it.

I can understand if it's built shoddily that it can end up frying its own battery, but how would a powerskin ruin the internal battery? Any links you have handy? Lots of threads with powerskin in them...
So I was on amazon looking for extended batteries. I've heard that the anker and hyperion batteries are reliable, and that some batteries can be worse than others. I wanted to get two extended batteries (3500mAh ones) and this seemed good:
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337731035&sr=1-6
does anyone know if this is any good? The fact that it comes with a belt clip is sort of appealing
Would've been nice if it came with an external charger, but I can probably do with the one I already have.
Anyways, anyone have any tips or suggestions concerning good/decent extended batteries for the epic 4g?

Here's a few screenie's from my phone using the Hyperion 3500 mah i have 2 of them and they're about the same.
On CM7 i could get a day's worth of battery with about 1-2 Hours of actual screen on time. Or6 Hours of screen on time and 7 hours on the battery just straight streaming netflix. I have gotten 2 Days before on Cm7 with 1.5 Hours of screen on time for display.
On ICS i can get about 15-18 Hours depending on usage

Definitely spend the 15$ and grab the Hyperion, much better.
Or 2x 1800 mAh ankers.
I am actually going to get the Ankers they will be here tomorow so i will go ahead and test them out and reply back here and other battery stat thread.
wonder if this would fit in ours granted its the Epic Touch it should but for us the highest ive seen is 3500 so this could be interesting to see

They aren't 3500mAh no, but while they don't reach their claimed capacity, they offer a hefty value as far as capacity/dollar is concerned. True OEM 1500 batteries can be closer the same price ($7.89 here, still more expensive though) and true OEM 1800mAh batteries are more then double the 1500's in cost (best price I found here was $17.66).
If the swivel case isn't a huge loss for you, maybe get just one battery and see for yourself for much cheaper, $6.53 here

Sounds about on par with how I'd expect the Hyperion to perform, and it's hard to say since it was my oldest Generic but it *seems* as though the larger print "3500" batteries don't perform as well as the small print labeled ones (which if you ever looked at the Hyperion, it has the small print label )

Well one or both of you needs to send them to me to clear their name so I can recommend them
I did see that but I wonder if it will fit differently since it's for epic touch....I'm mighty tempted though haha

just wondering, how exactly do you conduct these tests? and the epic touch's battery is a few millimeters longer than the epic 4g's ='( and it's 4 pronged or w/e while the epic 4g is 3. if aligned correctly, the battery is able to power the epic 4g though

I'm not worried about length or width as the OEM Epic Touch battery (aka the 1800mAh) fits easily into our phones, though I always heard that the Epic 4G's batteries were slightly longer so I was more worried about the Hyperion Epic Touch version being a slight bit too deep (to fit the same capacity) to work...though I think there is a little extra space in the current Generic battery cover that may allow for what little more depth there *may* be (as you can shake the phone and hear the battery jostle around slightly)

oh nvm! i believe i was referring to the t-mobile version of the epic touch, which is probably a lot different from the sprint one, sorry!! XP

Yeah it's weird that sometimes they do that, change some of the phone so that they aren't compatible. Probably the most absent minded business strategy I've ever heard
Just to let you guys know there is actually a set of the 1800 mAh's for our phone and the Epic Touch i got the one for our phone and the 1st charge i got 15-16 HRs and about 3 Hrs of screen on time
I personally use the Yoobao 2800 mAh extended battery from here
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Extended-Battery-Replacement-Cover/dp/B004G7JWT8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337876031&sr=1-1 its a little more pricey but im running CM9 AOKP build 35.2 and get about 18 hours out of it, with at least 4-5 hours of usage on the web or talking on the phone. I watched several videos on Youtube with recommendations and thats what made me get one. I dont think I have ever had it die all the way on me during the day, as long as I charge it every day or two I have no problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_po8oanz0 this guy has multiple videos reviewing these batteries and after trying it out versus a generic 3500 mAh, it is much preferred.

That's okay? but the 3500 mAh Hyperion i can get 4-5 Hours of screen on as well as 18-24 Hours on ICS. Hell on CM7 i got close to 2.5 Days with about 1.5 Hours of screen on time.
Not to mention the 1800 Ankers are slim so it fits without a big back and gets still decent battery life i just got 16 Hours and 3 Hours of screen on time on the 1st charge just opened the battery up and put it in the phone @100% so it hasn't even settled in yet.

ICS? do you have a leaked version or a rom or something?
We have Cm9, AOKP, MIUI V4, ect.

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my S4. Since it's replacement it doesn't have to be as good. What scares me though is that those cheap ebay/dealextreme batteries might hurt my phone somehow (those golden batteries etc). Is this possible, or is it safe to use those 'fake' batteries?
Also I would love if you guys could recommend a decent replacement battery for a good price (even better with a wall battery charger).

I have a problem with the huge ass batteries, I like my phone the way it is, so I'm looking for regular size.

Suit yourself, but I'm going on 19 hours off of a full charge with my Zerolemon and I still have 55% left.

ZeroLemon will be doing a regular sized battery as well which is what i'm waiting for. And ZeroLemon are known for their reliability (and actually being 3000 mAh). I wouldn't trust the ebay ones.
i got one of this to test and it was the perfect replacement battery. So just ordered this from amazon expecting delivery right about now...

After some research I came to a conclusion I want that one too. Can you check if it's just the same size as the original battery? As I've seen some Anker batteries which were good but slightly too large.

the one i tested was non nfc, these are nfc enabled but i doubt that would make them that much bigger to bulge, but ill let you know as soon as this UPS man arrives at my office, gotta love amazon prime! :laugh:
I bought the Anker batteries. Get 2 batteries and a wall charger. The wall charger also has a USB port which can output 1A, which it pretty good to carry around if needed. I've read reviews how when these first came out it was a really tight fit, but it seems that they made adjustments because the ones I received fit in just fine, like the OEM ones.
Being that I dont have 10 post I can't post urls this is

Title-3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
worth it
I almost always buy the cheapo chinese batteries for my phones. Here are my findings:
They will last throughout the day about as long as genuine batteries... for the 1st year
After the 1st year, they will start to degrade.... depending on your use, lack of use, temperature, etc... I have some 2.5 year old chinese epic 4g batteries that still work.. but only last about 4 hours. My original battery will still go a good 12hrs. I only keep them around for emergencies, but I don't really use that phone anymore.
The cheapo chargers that come w/ it is very handy and usually work pretty well.
Depending on how much you use them, they will last you a couple years.
Why i think they are worth it:
For ten bucks, they are a great backup battery. By that I mean, when get home from work and my battery is almost dead.... I can swap out the battery for the rest of the evening and don't have to put my phone on the charger till bed.
I'm a normal smart phone user, a normal batter will last me the day most days. I don't game or do too many intensive things..
I get them because I know that I will get a new phone every 1.5 to 2 years... so why do my batteries need to outlast the phone?
Who shouldn't use them:
People who really drain their batteries. They simply won't go as many recharge cycles as a normal battery (by that I mean full empty to full charge).
Tips:
Mark your crappy batteries with a permanent marker. The chinese clones look so good that you probably can't tell the difference between them and a real on. Mark the fake ones so that you can use your real on days when you know you really need lasting power. This isn't so important the first 9 months... but after that it could be.
Watch for reviews on a good battery seller (if buying from ebay)... there are good cheap-o batteries and their are crappy ones. I like to let other people figure it out
