Extended battery

I decided to test out the extended battery on the thunderbolt. I am at 40%. I have been unplugged for 15h and 40 min. I would say medium usage. I have had bluetooth on all day, live wallpaper running, text msgs, internet, facebook post, facebook chat, took a couple pics, played a few songs. Running das bmsf 1.5, with new radio.

I got the 2700 mA battery. Best uptime so far: 50 hours, 21 minutes, 12 seconds. And thats just because i got tired of the battery nag so i plugged it in

What ROM/Kernel/radio combo are you using to get THAT? I have the 2750 as well but on the 1.4 Perfect Storm using Imoseyon's leankernel 1.11 battsaver I can't get more than 12 or 13 hours. Granted I am in a 4g area and my awake time is like 40-70% of the up-time... but 50 hours??? I dunno if i could get that out of all 4 of my batteries combined...
*Edit* "up-time" is just how long the phone has been on without shutting off/rebooting... that doesn't mean that you have gotten 50 hours of battery life. I changed to my 2750 battery at the start of my shift so my up-time is ~10 hours. I had my phone awake (using) ~5 hours. The SS were taken about 30 mins from each other so the "since last unplugged" is a little off by 30 mins. Not trying to be petty but you got my hopes SKY HIGH!

I bought the extended battery but I'm waiting for mugen to come out with a better extended cover. That hump is just ugly.

No, that is not true.

i heard that the wifi antenna is in the battery cover so be sure to check that your extended battery cover has the antenna built into it.
this page from android central mentions this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-problems-and-solutions-forums

i have the extended battery and I have no troubles with wifi or gps. yes the antenna is in the battery cover, just make sure there are two metal strips at the top inside of the battery cover and you will be fine. Perhaps some shipped missing those metal strips causing people to have problems.

Does it work with the GPS mount?

Essential Battery
there's just no way to use this phone without the extended battery.
I used the incredible with the extended battery for 10 months. I could make it three days if I had to, but I'd easily have 20% at the end of the day with heavy use.
Now the extended battery on TB is the same, but with slightly more agressive conservancy - utilizing the stock Power/Battery saver set to 20%, and being more agressive in using wifi and killing 4G when in locations I know it wont reach.
The extended battery makes the TB easier to handle. I had hand cramps worrying about the larger slicker stock form sliding out of my hands, especially with those trendy rounded back corners.
Not only does the bump fit your fingers predictably, the cover as softtouch for better grip.

give it time guys, when the Evo dropped battery life was horrid too. Now thanks to kernel and ROM development battery life is much better. I pull 24 hours consistantly with my stock 1500. With the extended its twice that. When I got my phone I was getting more like 6 to 8 hours.

I got the the 2700 but haven't used it cause its ugly. I'm using mytouch 4g 1650mah extended battery. Waiting for seidio or Mugen to come up with with a better extended cover to fit the 2750.

I guess a lot of us just aren't using the phone then

1 day 8 hours on my thunderbolt. Das bamf and setcpu with the extended battery. 4g on about 50% of the time. Several hours of Pandora and heavy phone use. The extended battery has made me so happy. I FINALLY have a fast phone that I can use all day and still have battery.

Thanks for the review. Might be something to check out for.

Just got mine today. From ioomobile. They've got it on sale for $17 + free shipping (on their website) or $19 from eBay.
See how it runs over the next few days. Usually get around 35 hours (light/minimal use) or so on miui 1.7.8 on stock battery.
I'll post back after a day or two and report if it's any better.

If you've got the battery drain on 1.7.8 here's the fix (install as a regular app and restart)
Hope it helps. Worked for me, had terrible drain before the fix.

for a stock fit this would be the best, if you want a larger battery with back then I would recommend their 2700

I've received my 1700 momax battery last week and it's very good!
2 days with medium usage and CM7

Could someone pls do a real test? white screen, max brightness screen on time till shutdown compariaon would be great. everything else ia just not really compareable.

I've had my Momax 1700 mah battery for about 3 weeks now and it's performing well. I have a noticable increase in battery life, deffinitely more than a day, up to almost two days depending on usage.
I'm not a heavy user, main usage would be a few calls, internet and bit of video/movie viewing a day.
I'm on Juwe's 5.3 ROM with a Semaphore 1.5/1.6 kernel. Am also just trying the latest GalaxianGT kernel and seem to be getting similar battery life.

"1e charge about 8 hours from full then drain thil empty"
what do you mean? a full battery then charge it again 8 hours? or charge it with external device? i dont understand. the rest makes sense but this is....

Got this battery from ebay (ioomobile user). I have it in my possession for one week now. It went through 3 full charge/discharge patterns and the beefed capacity is getting noticeable now. I'm easily getting 2 days out of my phone (~36 hours) compared to ~24 I was getting with the one year old original battery. I'm actually using my phone daily for music - emails - web browsing having the display on for about 3 hours/day.
I highly recommend this battery nor necessarily to the recent SGS owners but more to the ones having these gadgets for about one year .

Just ordered one from that seller, will write a short review when it arrives. Original battery after a year of moderate use is lasting 2 days for me with OC to 1,2GHz and UV.

Anker Battery great success

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1600mAh...9A/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1318871003&sr=8-15
Bought it and my battery life is very good now, I can actually power use my phone without worried about battery. I played fruit ninja and played music via 3g with the speakers for more than an hour and loss like 15% percent battery. Went to bed with the battery at 12% and when I woke up it was at 8%. I can't get you any technical specs but the battery is alot better than stock, and for the price you can't go wrong.

Bought these batteries but after pretty extensive testing, I've got to say that any actual difference is marginal at best. Battery Monitor Widget measures them at nearly the same capacity as the original...the best figure it gave was ~1300mAh but accounting for the % error that's likely a bit overstated. Bottom line...you get two batteries on par w/ stock for a good price...just don't expect any real performance difference between a new stock battery and an Anker.

I too purchased this set of anker batteries and charger. But picked up on ebay for even less from the same amazon dealer. Also I needed the charger to charge batteries for older phones that used a proprietory charger that I didn't have. My stock HTC battery just wasn't keeping up after only a few months old. Maybe it says something for the quality of the OEM battery. Who knows. But after 2 weeks of using one of these batteries the difference is still night and day for me. Charge lasts much longer than my 6 month old OEM battery. Whether they are better/worse than a NEW OEM battery I can't say. But for the price and after running one for 2 weeks I definitely give them 2 thumbs up.

I highly doubt these are 1600 mah, it's probably closer to the stock battery.
You guys are comparing a heavily used stock battery to these new ones. What you should be comparing is a new stock battery vs these and you'd probably end up seeing very little difference.

I agree, I bought the same batteries and I wouldnt say the power was what I expected. I wouldnt say they are worth the price, rather just practice good battery management with the proper settings over the battery.

Well I just got them for Christmas (gosh I love ordering my own gifts from time to time Haha) and Will give a review after I charge one up tonight and give it a few days use. I can say that I got this phone in March and battery monitor widget consistently measures actual capacity between 986 and 1081 mAh. So OEM battery durability seems to be pretty crappy. Fingers crossed for the new ones!
Also, the stock battery in the last month has still been awful with the battery management technique of "put it on the table and do something else while leaving it in idle mode with data connection off"
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

News is good! This battery tests at around 1500 mAh, as expected short of the advertised 1600, but far better than the older stock battery! After 5 hrs 5 mins on battery with fairly light use, I have 83% battery left.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

I got one of those on the 25th too. The first couple of days were moderatly light use until I got home from work. Then it was more. Got 26+/- hours out of each charge. Lots better than stock battery that was down to 5% usually after a 10 hr day with the same amount of usage

I wonder how the performance of the battery last over time. As in does the quality compare to that of the stock? So far my stock battery has a charge of about 8 hours on a good charge with moderate use anand its about a year old. How do these compare?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App

We shall know in a few weeks/months/Kardashians (you know, 72 days). We will keep you posted man! As terrible as quality was on stock, I don't see how it could get much worse. This battery peaks out aroun 27 degrees Celsius when charging during use and stock would hit 34 degrees consistently.

Have to report that my Anker batteries are still doing great. Battery monitor still reporting both around 1475. I find myself not charging the battery overnight sometimes since I still have a decent charge left. And as someone mentioned it isn't fair to compair these new batteries to a failing stock battery. Stock battery was ONLY 7 months old (not good at all). It too is made in china. You can purchase 2 anker batteries and a universal charger for half the price of an oem replacement battery. Never expected the anker batteries to be 1600. How about someone with a fairly new oem battery and using battery monitor report the mAh they get.

As from previous experience, It is not a big deal if they are less than 1600mah, so is the case of OEM batteries.
Or a quick Google search will show batteries with much less capacity selling for a lot more.

mine is what i would consider fairly new and battery moniter reports the total mah to be 1230mAh stock OEM htc battery that came with my inspire and i get usually a day and half out of normal use

I have had my batteries for about 2 1/2 months now. Still getting 1470 on average out of each. I switch them every 2 weeks just to keep them fresh.

Great news, I'll be buying these batteries soon then

Just got these myself yesterday. Granted I've only had them one day they have been great and are equal if not better than my original battery. Again this is only after one day use so hopefully it stays the same.
But so far I have 4.25 hours of on-screen time
30 min of GPS with imapmyrun
30 min of Pandora(for my run)
Total time: 1day 2 hours and have about 7 percent left
Wifi and GPS were always on even when not in use. Regular setup of gmail, and yahoo to push my emails

I hope you guys are aware of how lithium ion's work... which these are. I'm positive someone has already said this in some other section, but it should be known as this applies to practically all phones.
Deep discharging frequently will damage the batteries, best not to run these batteries all the way down just because you can....
Heat will kill the batteries quicker than just about anything you throw at it. When you guys deep discharge and have a prolonged recharging time the phone does get hot, also leaving the phone/battery in a hot summer car... well...
Time is another issue. The batteries degrade with time/age, whether you use them or not. If a seller is selling you a "new" battery that's been sitting on their shelf for a couple of years, you're going to get a gimped battery despite it being "new".

I recently got a couple of these batteries, charged them with the wall charger then when i put them into phone, didn't work phone saw them as at 0% and switched off , (yes made sure i put them in the right way.)

Sounds like you did something wrong. 2 batteries? I don't care how junky you might find them they should have at least worked. Guessing you did something wrong woth the wall charger. Try charging them in your phone.

best battery option without adding bulk

I was wondering if anyone can recommend to me a good extended battery that doesn't add bulk or the requirement of a special backplate to the s4?
I don't seem to have as much success as most people here on the phone with battery life, and if i'm lucky I make it to 3 hrs screen on time on each battery (I carry around spare batteries but this is still annoying).
Appreciate the recommendations

I don't believe there are any options for extended battery without bulk. You could do the zerolemon 3000 mah batteries. You get two of those and then you could always have a spare battery ready to swap when the other one dies. Other than that, you're going to add bulk if you want an extended battery.

I would advise you not to use batteries by this brand. I've opened up an extended battery they made for the i9300 and discovered that they use spacers to add weight to the batteries instead of using two batteries like the reputable brands(anker,hyperion, zerolemon). The closest you would get to an extended battery is the 3000mah zerolemon.

The battery arrived today and I am giving it the first charge. I will see how it goes and report. I hope it does not mess up my device ...
So far I am using it for 30-40 minutes and it is charging and charge progress seems normal and the temperature also.
I will be back after a couple of days to share the whole experience

If its got a 2 year performance warranty they must be pretty confident in it

On their site it says i9500 ,does it work with i9505 and it fits on original back case ? I would buy it instantly if i could get over 4+hrs on screen with stock rom my max with stock rom is 3.5 but awerage is 3hrs.

It depends on your screen brightness. I am using an 100% stock rom. I get on a full day around 5 hours screen on time with my brightness ranging from 0% to up to 20%.
I also tried this, use the phone with the brightness set to 0%. I managed a staggering 1 hour screen on time while just losing 15% (was whatsapping for an hour).
I don't like the stock battery life as I have to recharge my phone twice a day.... I usually go leave the house at 7AM and come back at around 6PM with around 10% left. Then, I charge it fully and by time I go to bed, the phone already has lost around 40% battery (I use the speaker alot and download Torrents). Then I start chatting with friends in bed and go to sleep with around 10-20% left on the same day (although that's at around 2AM). Thus, even with my battery life, I can't make a full day.
Although I must say, I am a heavy user. I use whatsapp, browser, music player, snapchat, facebook and the camera to take pictures alot on a daily basis. I use my phone with the lowest brightness possible as long as I can see what's on the screen to prolong the battery life.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner.
I use the Opteka exclusively and am able to get a full day, but it depends on how you use your phone.
They don't advertise a huge upgrade, it's only marginal. you will not get anything above ~2800-3000mAh to fit inside the existing back cover.
That being said, I have yet to have any issue with the Opteka brand.
They also make camera batteries and accessories.

So you think it is better than stock?
Going to replace my original at some point. I never really have issues, though. But they are so cheap I might as well do it before it starts to become a problem, I only go above an hour or two of screen time when I travel by air (can't imaging spending 20%+ of my waking life looking at a 5" screen...don't know how you guys can stand it, lol).

i have polarcell 2900mAh battery for about 2 months, and I am really pleased with it.
Ok, I dont have stock rom, but compared to stock battery it gave me a great results.
About 35 hours without charge, and 2h 40min screen on

Good luck with this one. Most ebay battery is faking the capacity, if the size is just same as the original battery, there is no way it can be 3000mah, u can't beat the physics law.
But I just got another ZNC battery from amazon for $3.99 for a deal [I'm a new user, can't post the link here, if you guys interested, can search 'ZNC battery' at amazon to get the deal]. I have been using it for 3 days from now, works great so far and last just like the original one. I'll report it back this weekend, if I got time for the capacity test.

What is the best battery for s4? I am buy aliex. What is your suggestion
I am sorry very bad english

I purchased the Anker 5200mAh battery a few months ago. Performance is great and I actually like the added bulk. I can easily get two days of battery with heavy use.

Anker 7800mAh. Best thing I bought so far. Makes your phone's weight similar to brick, but it's worth it. Lasts me 2 days.

My battery is not original may be it is 2600 mah may be ))) my screen time is 2 hour

What about the ZeroLemon ones? I've heard they're good

I've been using ZeroLemon 3000mAh batteries for the last year or so. They're great. They add a tiny bit of bulk to the back of the phone, no big deal. You should know that they malfunction and deteriorate after like one year so you have to replace it then ASAP.

zerolemon 7500mah user here for a year now and this beast battery is still performing well...
heavy gaming ( clash of clans ) it gives me 13-15hrs Screentime...
charge it when im sleeping...
Moderate usage no gaming data connection on ( when is need to check something ) off when not in use. roughly 2-2 1/2 days.
my s4 can act like a powerbank aswell by the use of an USB OTG..

Ye, it is very nice choise! I have bought it to

Back then i had 2 choices.
To buy a new original battery which i am not sure if im gonna recieve a legit original one or just another knockoff. ( same screentime 3-4hrs max )
Or to buy a zerolemon which will definitely give me a better screentime guaranteed

Using the ravpower 2800 mah battery. I don't think there's a huge difference, but it lasts longer than the OEM, obviously because it's newer, but Aldo because it has that extra 200mah.
Can't go wrong with this battery, and it's only $10, compared to the ridiculous prices they're charging for the OEM version. Also, way too many counterfeit batteries out there to order an OEM.

Trying out one of these from Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/252115973831
But not real happy w/ it so far seems to drain faster than my Anker. Will give it a few charge cycles first to see if it settle down. Batterey Stat only showed it was about 3800 mAh, which is to be expected.

What kind of anker are you using? The standard 2600 mah battery? I heard nothing but good things about anker batteries.

Yes, have had one for almost 2 years now, working 100%.
Wanted to try this higher capacity ebay one, it seems to be working a bit better as it settles in.
You can't lose by using Anker though.:good:

I've got the same one, 4hrs SoT or sometimes more using YouTube, and about 3hrs-3hrs and a half of SoT when gaming...I think you got a faked one

Still not sure about this thing...seems to be drainer faster the more I use it. Was charged to 100% the other morning, just sitting on my desk no use, dropped to below 60% by noon. Contacted seller , who suggested draining it completely then recharge. Will give it a few more tries, and return if it doesn't improve.
Popped my Anker back in yesterday, thing works like a boss.
