For a total of $13.89 shipped, I'm quite excited about it.
Check out the pics!
I will update on it's performance in a few days.
I'm pretty happy with it so far. Considering the fact that I needed a new battery door (victim of the common "8MP" cracked glass) and wasn't going to pay LG $31 for a replacement.

It's not as fugly as the $100+ 4500mAh Mugen extended battery. I don't think it's possible to design a pretty extended battery.
I don't mind the extra bulkiness for extra power.
I received the battery in the mail at 50% charged. I drained it with heavy use (no screen dimming, stream videos/pandora on 4g) which took 7 hours. I can't wait to use it on a full charge.
I've never been on a phone that lasted so long on 1%. (in fact, it's been on 1% for the past 25 mins with the screen off.
The battery cover fits really well on the phone. I was afraid it wasn't going to fit because I read on a forum that the p900 is slightly larger than the p999.This extended battery was sold advertised for the p900.
This is not true. There is no physical difference between p900 and p999. The cover fits perfectly.

Just search "optimus 2x extended battery" into ebay.
not sure why you are trying to go below 1%, you don't want to completely drain a lithium battery.
Well actually the Mugen 4500mah extended cover is a nice, smooth, consistent shape,and looks dam sexy in person, unlike that hideous weird double box looking cover with four dots at the corners. lol
Also, with the Mugen 4500mah battery, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour with wifi or 4G on surfing the web watching flash videos for it to drop from 100% to 99%. Just 1% loss with heavy usage for about an hour.
Although I'd like to hear more of your observations on this 3500 mah battery. I'd be willing to pick one up at that price just to take advantage of it, if it's not a bogus product.
Anyway these extended batteries are just the remedy our modern generation of cellphones need. Once you use one especially the 4500mah, you'll never want to go back to that tiny stock one...

So it's been awhile since any updates on this battery. It has to be bogus. I don't know how they can manufacture a 3500 mah lithium battery and it's cover for that cheap without it being a scam
I would love to have an extended battery but not at the cost of doubling the thickness of the phone...otherwise I'd have a clamshell Motorola again lol

Think about what you're saying. You rather have a pocket pc that doesn't have the capacity to be away from an electric outlet just so you can look "cool"? It's like wearing a broken Rolex watch just to look suave. That's pretty illogical. Seriously, you might as well go back to dumb phones, because I tell you the truth, the stock battery is not sufficient to make the phone a viable gadget with all it's advanced features.
You need the extra capacity of an extended battery, to be able to fully realize the potential of the G2x and the apps that you can find in the market.
With the 4500mah battery I have from Mugen, I use my phone as a personal trainer, a flash light, a camera and video recorder, a audio diary, a gaming machine, a internet browser and movie player, a tv remote control, a radio, police scanner, etc. without worrying what app I want the phone to be and use it the whole day as anyone of the gadgets a mentioned above without having to constantly think about plugging in and recharging it.
Also it can't be good plugging in the rechargers micro usb often, since it wears and tears. Having constantly plugged and unplugged when I was using stock battery, my charger connection now wiggles and is loose just because I had to constantly charge. Once that breaks good luck on trying to replace it.

Well, my 3500mA batt and cover arrived today.
My original cover broke where it said 8MPx. **** that.
Turns out this battery is awesome - from what I see within 6 hour use.
I got it charged and being trying to discharge it with heaviest load.
Running, browser over WiFi, playing music, benchmarking and etc.
Compared to my OEM 1500mA batt this 3500mA is a BEAST!
The cover also fitted fine, but it looks kinda cheap (but what would you expect for $10 delivered)
I would really recomend it to anybody!
I love it!
PS will post some pics tom, when I get back home.
Look for item # 270770593394 on ebay. $10 delivered!

Well unlike most others here, I don't use my phone so heavily that I'm always worried about it dropping to zero. I make phone calls, text, and browse the web and Facebook here and there. I don't play any games or anything like that. My main battery drain seems to be widgets and texting at this point.
I guess it all depends, but the repeated recharging will loosen the plug gap and that's a very valid point. I will probably get the 3500 or 4500 or whatever it is and try it out either way.
During a normal day, I wouldn't need something this big but for those times I want to hang on the beach all day, this is perfect! I had one for me G1 and that thing lasted all day with extremely heavy use.
Gonna order one.

I've been using one here in India from the beginning August now. Its a good alternative to the M8 if you have a tight budget. I have no qualms about getting this phone, it's performance is at par with the M8 and definitely better than Z2, S5 and note 3, all of which my friends have. The 13mp camera does its job well, excellent shots in daylight, decent everywhere else. Apart from the different camera, a polycarbonate shell and a few other quirks, it's basically a M8.
From the above mentioned time, I've NEVER faced any lag. If anything, my phone performed on par, even even better at places, with a friends iPhone 6. The dot view cover is a good addition as an accessory.
If it's a dual SIM high end smartphone you're looking for, you can't go wrong with the E8. If you want to know anything in particular, feel free to ask.

1. Charges in around 2 hours with the charger provided with the box. Maybe lesser, I'm not sure because I charge overnight. But it's mostly a percent a minute. You can get better times by getting the 1.5A output charger.
2. GSam Battery Monitor shows :
Battery Life : 1d 13h
Screen On : 5h 30m
Basically easily lasts a day. Averages around 5-6h screen on time. And I have my sync on, use social networks vehemently, although I keep the battery saver on always (just the underclocking cpu option), except gaming.

I've heard from many people that one shouldn't charge overnight (basically it shouldnt be overcharged) and that it decreases the life of the battery ? What's your opinion on that please ; as i used to do that, but now stopped charging overnight as it keeps charging the battery even when it is full.....

From whatever knowledge I have of the batteries, they stop charging once they are fully charged. So there is no way they get "overcharged". As and when the battery drops a little, it again charges back itself. Which barely happens, because my phone loses only about 1-2% battery overnight if left idle.
Ideally, this view suggests that this won't have any impact on the overall life of the battery. I did the same with my One S for about 1 and a half years. It didn't show any signs of reduced battery life then.
Yes, different people do have different views on this topic, but I like to stick to my idea.
Hi, I also wanted to ask a question if you have the dual sim version. When using 3g or 4g data connection on sim1 can you use sim2 to either call or send sms?
Thanks
The only problem with E8 is less Custom ROMs . I haven't got any better custom ROM other than Bin Droid, less customisation but better than nothing. At least Bin Droid is providing 4.4.4 and HTC Eye and more colored themes :thumbup:

I absolutely agree. The only problem with this (awesome) phone is the lack of developer support. even on Xda, I can only found custom rom for the dual sim version. Mine is the single sim. :crying:
Otherwise. It's really a good phone. There are some times that makes me (kinda) envy M8, like the metal body, the infrared blaster, and especially the customization. Anyway.. we just have to wait and see about the lollipop update. if they filled their promise to update < 3 months, I'm a happy dude.

Alright. Just like what happens with many smartphones, third party sources have started releasing batteries with a little more juice than the Original LG Batteries of 2800mAh. I have to admit it, i was kind of counting on it because it happens a lot of time. But how reliable could they be? Would NFC work with them? Will it make our phone explode? From 2800mAh to 3250mAh is 450 more juice to drain. Has someone tested it? I've posted the link and a couple of pictures.

Can you please also try the NFC feature if you have another phone with NFC capability? And also, whether the SOT improves or if it remains the same. and finally, in comparison to the other battery, how long does the phone last , based on your average usage (say: wifi on/off, usual brightness or auto brightness, etc. ) Let us know.

I have tested for two day and although I haven't gotten any numbers to prove it...the battery works great. It does last longer with the same usage...but I wouldn't say that the difference is huge but it does have a little more endurance. I'd say that if you are looking for an extra battery...this is not a bad choice especially just to keep as a spare. Everything works fine as well.
Also...it may take a few cycles to get the battery calibrated...my first discharge I was disappointed because it dad extremely fast but after letting it run down and charging it a few times it seems to last a little longer than stock. I'll leave the battery in for a while and if I get time to collect screen on before I charge it I will.

I think one would see a real difference if it had 900mah ane up more than usual. I was kind of expecting for that though. Hahaha. But i have the feeling they will release an eveb bigger one. Something like 4000mAh+ but you have provided us with great detail. Thank you. If you have the SOT in the future feel free to provide if
I doubt we will see anything much larger in the same size. Batteries have limited capacity/cm3, and LG, being one of the best and largest battery manufacturer, maxed out on that value. The problem here is the physical size of the battery cell...

They managed to do that by replacing the back cover with their own "case", including an extra-size cell. The G5's different battery removal mechanics make it a lot less viable option, especially adding the bottom module (which houses not just the USB connector, but speakers, microphone, and some antennas) as a cost.
My original comment was directed at the allegedly 3200/3250mAh cells popping up for 5-10$ a piece. There's a reason why official LG cells are 25$, and these after-market ones cost less than half of that. Sure, LG needs to cover the development costs, but I'm pretty sure the after-market ones are so cheap mainly because of corner cutting. And that comes with extended hazard. But if you feel like ruining your 600$+ phone because you went cheap and paid 10$ instead of 25$ for a battery... It's your call.

They could create a module similar to the Cam+ that has an 'extra' battery in it. Maybe slimmer but further up the case.

Check out this thread I did for the Sensation (ages ago). It's not relevant to this phone, other than to say that you'll recognize some of the labels:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753726
The TLDR: Actual mAh was was tested reliably (external discharge, outside of the phone) and batteries with the same label style as the two linked in the OP actually had roughly 30% and 50% of their stated capacity, and much less than stock.
I've got a G5 coming this week. I wouldn't be against doing another thread like the one I did in 2012 on the Sensation, if there's demand.
I have this one coming, so i will let you all know what i find. There seems to be mixed reviews, and even my Stock Battery had to be calibrated up/down charge for 3-5 times before i had good life.

The mixed reviews are in part my fault. I'm one of the reviewers with that battery and for some reason Amazon will not post my updated review, I've tried 3 different occasions to post follow ups but they won't post.
What I learned with that battery is it works, only it does give me the invalid battery message and the phone shuts off but only if I reboot the phone at 100% battery life, upon booting the phone reports 50% charge and shuts off. You have to restart it a couple times until it's used a percentage or 2, then it boots fine. I emailed the seller about it and they responded with the cells are tested and they only use quality parts, they sent me another battery but that one does the same as the original. With the issue with the note 7 and other phones/chargers I stopped using the battery. It might be perfectly safe but I can't determine that and the risk is not one I am willing to wait and see. Here's a link to another topic here on XDA where I responded about this battery.

So, after the first full charge and discharge to 11%, I'm getting very good times better than stock. This will probably increase with a few more charging cycles. My opinion is this battery is definitely more mA. I will review more when later.
So for the s7 edge I opted to get the mophie battery case because neither was water resistant and the mophie charged faster and gave more protection. With the Note 7 the mophie one isnt out yet, but the samsung one does have water resistance now. With 3100 mah i think itll be enough to get some good screen on time. It does come halfway charged so i recommend charging it before use. It works as simple as putting it on and turning it on.
I purchased this on amazon with prime shipping because the samsung website is so backed up they couldnt even give me a date when they might send it.
First up is the packaging. Its nothing special just the normal samsung packaging we've grown accustomed to.
Package contents
How it looks installed
Side comparison view
Bottom view (doesnt cover usb type c port)
Overall this will do its job but dont expect very much protection as the front is totally exposed. The charging is very slow. It does make the phone both heavier and thicker as is to be expected and makes 1 handed use harder but its a phablet so who cares. I do reccomend this case, but it is a tad expensive. On the other hand though you have to pay to play. Let me know what ya'll think. Will you get one?

Congrats man... Can you please let us know how does the battery lasts? From what i i know it does say battery is 3100mAh but on the back its also written that usable is a lot less than 3100. Anyhow let us know how much total time you could get without plugging it back in.
Also can you confirm does the backpack charges wirelessly or no.
From what I read this only outputs at 1.0a which is gonna be reaaaally slow compared to the standard 2.0a or fast charge. Does it show any specs on the box anywhere?
The backpack itself does not charge wirelessly, only charges the phone wirelessly.

It is slow, but the way i look at it is, does it need to be super fast if its on your phone like all day?
About 3 hrs to full from 16 percent.. idk if it would even make it to full if you are using it but there you go.

I had this for one day and took it back for the Samsung fast charge power brick. The case made the phone very warm and just slowed the drain of the phones battery while in use.

This is exactly what I was going to ask, if I'm out using data, gps, running apps will it even charge....
Thanks!

Yeah at one point I was just cruising Facebook and I kept getting notifications about the device charging too slow. And this was while on wifi with the display at about 50%
Alright, so update. The charger doesnt charge fast we all get that. But it does work well enough that i started today at 500am and it is now 624pm with what i would consider pretty heavy usage. Probably a good 5 hrs screen on time and my phone is at 61 percent with the charger totally depleted, i started the charger at about 80 percent battery. I didnt browse the internet too much i was playing a game called dokkan battles pretty much the whole time with screen at about 25 percent brightness because the room i work in is dark. Just some figures for you guys i will keep updating as info is necessary.
As far as the power bricks go they are nice. And significantly faster, but i like not having to carry them around or plug them in, just one button and im charging.
I think for less than half the price with more capacity and 1.8a output, I would rather have this. It isn't waterproof and no access to spen though.

That could be legit
the samsung backpack charges the phone from 0 to roughly 40% - just tested it with my completely drained note 7 - charging....did not use while charging......turned phone on - battery level was 41% on the phone for about 30 seconds, then dropped to 40%.....
backpack was completely drained at the end of this.
i agree with the OP that it is MUCH easier to have this on the back of the phone rather than lugging around a power bank and cord. however, the backpack battery case is really expensive given the mAH it provides.....
i bought two of them b/c i'm on the phone all day talking to clients from my car.....my two cents is that the cost is worth the convenience, but most others will likely disagree......
cheers.

I'm just curious, if you're in your car, why can't you just get a fast charger for your car and charge it while you're in the car?

Cords
Cords.....hate having to plug snd unplug. Also in in and out of my car all day. This way I have one backpack on my phone while the other one is connected to my fast charger in my car....
My Samsung backpack charger took the phone from 20% to full with 1 dot left. I changed wireless charging settings to slow charge only. Used it a few times while charging for light stuff. Gets a little warm while charging. I'm pretty happy with it. No cables and has pass through charging if you need it. Makes it twice as heavy though. I recommend it.

So I got the device today, set it up, rooted, and I thought I would share a couple of thoughts about the device.
First, Always On Display (AOD) was there initially, but the day one system update removed it, leaving only the option to have the screen wake up when you pick up the phone or a notification arrives, I wonder why remove a feature on day 1....
There is no way to show battery percentage in the status bar.
Navigation bar is always white even when using a dark / black app, looks really bad.
A lot of settings have been moved around, and generally the settings app does not feel like stock, the Razer phone managed to add extra options while still feeling and looking stock like, I would not call Oxygen OS stock like.
Adaptive brightness is all over the place and feels like a beta product.
I really really wish it had wireless charging.
I will keep this post updated as I find more things worth noting.
On the positive side.
Fingerprint and face unlock are incredibly fast.
Phone feels really smooth and fast.
I really like they include the advanced reboot option in dev settings.
Camera looks really promising, tho I only tested so much for now.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Battery life is awesome for me.
I jusdt got my oneplus 6 64 gig mirror black variant today. Charged it upto 98% and started playing around with it. The UI is familiar coming from a 3t but the lack of hardware navigation keys is a learning curve for me. Anyways what I could notice immediately is how good the battery life on active usage is. I've been watching videos on youtube and Amazon Prime and also some Facebook and so far managed to drain the battery to 66 percent with almost 4 hours of screen time. My 3t could only manage around 5.5 hours of screen time with the same sort of usage. This is just mind blowing. And all this was on 4g lte the whole time.. Thinking of rooting and unlocking the bootloader to get magisk working but I guess I'll just wait for the official twrp so that I can take a nandroid backup before doing anything else.
I agree with all of this. I feel the same way.
I Set the Phone up, then it went off and now it's in a boot loop, screen shows noisy green lines sometimes. Full wipe doesn't solve the problem and the support is not in the office now.
I'm really fed up.

You and 99% of this forum. Why include a glass back with no purpose other than to look fancy and break from the other 9 phones OnePlus has put out?
I read in another one of the threads that they are going to be adding the battery percentage toggle for the status bar in the next update.

Makes sense, easy software fix, but seems really like they rushed the device to market before finishing the software
For AOD, I believe they removed it to be able to test further and ensure there is no screen burn-in (something along these lines) and will re-add it in a future update (assuming testing goes well).

Was just about to say this
If you've seen op r&d you know how meticulous they can be
If anything can cause an issue they'll remove it and test it

No, really, not 99%.
It's just a gimmick. Is the 2 seconds needed to plug a USB cable in to your phone such a great hardship that you'd rather wait 3-4 hours charging, instead of 1 hour needed with Dash Charge (or whatever OnePlus have decided to call it now)?
Really?

we found the 1% lol. But honestly, I really do miss this feature. Sure, dash change is a game changer. But the ease at night of night having to fumble for a cable is nice. Or while at work just to drop it on a pad. It would cost them next to nothing to put a coil in the phone to do this. Those who only use dash can be happy, and wireless charger addicts will be happy. Just a mistake...
For me the phone is decent, the vibration motor is a little weak IMO (coming from a S8). It is fast and the screen is ok. I do miss the S8 screen a bit though. Camera is great IMO. I like it better than the S8 in most cases. My battery life hasn't been great but I think a widget or something was causing the drain. VoLTE seems to drain the battery fast. Just initial thoughts. An upgraded 2k screen, wireless charging and using the ear piece speaker as a dual speaker would have made this the perfect smartphone of 2018. But it is growing on me.

Bro, I've seen you all over the forum spouting nothing but dislike and disappointment and advertising the next big thing by Xiaomi. I believe your exact words were "A Bit Underwhelmed".
We have different lifestyles and choices. Some of us work at a desk, using their phone often, it would be nice to just drop the phone next to whatever you're doing and have it charge. Not everybody has access to a cable manager or wants to keep a USB cable sitting out next to their work area for when they need a fast charge.
Or like this gentleman said, maybe some of us don't want to fumble around at home or at night for the charger.
We have our own opinions.
Just an observation coming from 5t the new op6 charging cable feels lot more thicker

Signal penetrates glass much easier than metal, so your signal should be better with this device as opposed to other metal devices.

^^ this. The whole wireless charging is the dumbest crap. 10 min on dash charge is the equivalent of 45 to an hour on wireless charging dock. I mean if your port went bad I could understand it but how the hell often does that happen? And if you're able to connect a wireless charger to an outlet, you can plug in your dash charger and be done soon much faster.
Dumbest complaint/feature

Wireless charging means less stress on the battery meaning it loses capacity more slowly, great for overnight charging, plus you don't wear out the charging port. Really wish it had a metal back as a single drop may mean serious damage. Going to have to use a case for the first time ever, sigh

plus let's not forget that if you have a case on your phone wireless charging is soooo useless because you'd have to take ur phone out the case each time
I have never found wireless charging useful. Maybe in a car, but my car can't do that so I don't care.
has anyone found the swipe fingerprint notifications "I loved that feature, surprised they removed it"

What root method did you use and do you have magisk?
