Are there any alternative more power batteries that will fit this battery cover? http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38476 I dont want to get the OEM extended battery b/c it's too expensive. I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280429432610&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT for the battery. I hope it fits. If not, oh well.
Let me know how it works. I want to know if it really has that many mAh.
I bought two of these http://www.cellphoneshop.net/toprba.html
I just use 3 batteries if i am on my phone that day
Let us know if the battery fits with the OEM extended battery cover. I thinking of doing the same...thanks in advance.
I received the OEM extended battery cover on the 21st. The cover fits pretty well. All the buttons work. Today I finally received the extended battery from Hong Kong. It took 2 weeks. The first thing I did was the obvious, place the aftermarket extended battery in the phone and put on the OEM extended battery cover on. Sad to report that it doesn't fit. The after market extended battery is too thick. It missed it by about 1.5mm.
The aftermarket battery is twice as thick as the OEM. i'v opened an extended battery before. Inside are 2 normal sized battery stacked. So I'm imagine this one is the same. The fact that the OEM extended battery is rated at 2150mah and is thinner than the aftermarket dual cell extended battery lead me to believe that the OEM extended battery is a supersized single cell battery. No other aftermarket extended battery will fit the OEM extended battery cover.
The aftermarket extended battery cover is about 2mm thicker than the OEM extended battery cover. When I installed the aftermarket battery cover for the first time, the vol down is pushed in. up on initial boot, it placed the phone into bootloader. I had to take the cover out and reseat the vol control rocker button. Afterwards everything worked fine.

For all of you with extended batteries AND WM6.5, can you tell me how well they work [and which battery/ROM combo]?
I remember reading a few posts about the Mugen 4500 mAh and the 3xxx mAh batteries requiring the owner to remove the battery and reinstall it after it turns off, as the phone doesn't measure the amount of charge left properly.
Is this true in your experiences?
What about the HTC/OEM Extended 2150 battery? Does that require a battery removal to get the phone to recognize and use the full potential?
I have the Sprint Stock/OEM 6.5 ROM that just came out, for comparison purposes.
Thanks!
I have the Tilt 2 on TPC's latest 23544 build and the 2150 OEM. It's the only extended battery I've ever had that doesn't require the "battery trick" (remove and reinsert battery).
I just received my htc oem extended battery and I placed it in and there are no notification lights while charging. Now It is charging while powered on and I can see that in the taskbar above with battery icon, but as far as the hardware light(red or green depending on status) it is not lighting up at all. I know its probably not a rom issue since its an extended battery, but it is the only htc oem extended battery made specifically for the tilt 2. While the phone is off I cannot til if its charging so if there is anything I can do to try and correct it please let me know.

I'd task 29 and flash a different ROM. My same battery works just fine and dandy.
I recently bought a Seidio Innocell 1400 battery for my G1. For some reason, the battery won't charge while it's in the phone.
If I take it out of the phone and charge it in my desk cradle, it works just fine and fully charges in a few hours. It will easily last twice as long as my worn out original OEM battery, as long as I don't connect the phone to a charger.
Here's the weird part. Not only can I not charge the battery while it's in the phone, but it actually drains significantly faster when I connect the charger. Without the charger connected, it will last me all day with moderate use. If the charger is connected when this battery is in the phone, it will drain the battery from a full charge to the point where the phone shuts off in a little more than an hour. I don't know how this is even possible.
My phone works and charges just fine with my OEM battery installed. I've tried several different chargers, which all work when I'm using the oem battery and had the same results, so I know the charger isn't the problem. I had the same problem with the Andida batteries a while back, but figured they were just defective when I saw that everyone else was having problems with them too. Does anyone have any ideas, or did I just get another defective battery?
I have an "Andida" from ebay that does this. I got a partial refund from the seller. I think the overcharge protection circuit is flaky when this happens. Try to get a refund or replacement from the seller.
I recently bought a T-Mobile G1 and flashed it to:
EzGingerbread 20110828
Radio: 2.22.28.25
SPL: 1.33.0013d
I currently have a PowerGen battery, which came with the phone.
I do not have a data plan, so I run with WiFi off & autosync off when not at home, screen at 25% brightness most of the time. The battery takes excessively long to charge when using USB and AC charger (in this case, iPhone charger and a car charger for a GPS which outputs 5v, up to 1.2A IIRC). If I leave it on my bed untouched overnight with the mentioned settings at high battery charge (90%+), it's usually 25% or less when I wake up.
So, I'm thinking to buy an OEM battery. I see a T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 available on Amazon that seems to have good reviews, as well as a HTC Innovations G1 Google Battery Drea160. Both appear to be OEM products - some received the 31463TMR when bought from a T-Mo store, and I've read Drea160 mentioned here previously. Which one would be the better choice, or is there an extended battery that is well lauded and does not require an extended cover?
I'd link to the said products rather than simply bolding them, but since this is my first post I am unable to do that. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks.
Well, I purchased the T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 from Amazon and it has a "DREA160" part #, and looks fine. It arrived with only a 1% charge, strangely; I'll let it die and recharge to full. I also ordered a replacement back cover and it has the same part number and markings as the original cover. I hope this battery will fare better than the one I was using previously.
Anyone use this X-Life battery? It shows to have Samsung OEM grade cell versus other brands and also able to hold high charge cycle. I heard most brands cannot substain a high charge cycle.

I don't know about X-life, but the Q-cell batteries I had bought for my phone didn't hold up. Thankfully I bought it from Amazon so I returned it.
Thanks! Just order one and see how it holds
Some updates on this battery kit.
The battery life on this is as good as the original galaxy note battery. Been running couple charge cycles and the results are similar. This is quite a good deal given the price I pay for 2 batteries + charger = 1 OEM battery
Hey guys,
I've had my GNote since March 2012 and recently I've had some problems with it. Starting about a week ago, the phone would shut down randomly at any battery percentage and boot back up with NO power (it would say 0 or 1% battery then die again). I've tried switching ROMs (from JellyBean Sandwich to SkeletonKey), but nothing seems to be helping, which makes me think it's a problem with the battery itself. If this happens, I can take the battery out for a couple minutes then put it back in and it will work, but then it will happen all over again. This leads me to believe that it's a problem with maybe the battery heating up? I would appreciate any help with this, thanks!
Sounds like you might want to try a new battery. These batteries don't have a long usage life. 1.5yrs seems to be a common fail point. They are pretty cheap to buy on eBay.
Does your battery get hot quickly?
Does your battery appear to be a little fatter or thicker than normal?

That's kind of what I was thinking. I was going to hold off and tough it out because I'm upgrading to Moto X next week, but I think I'm going to keep this device to use as a music player since it has the SD Card slot.
Definitely gets pretty hot when using, but it kind of always has. Maybe a little quicker now.
Not sure about the battery. Can't be a good judge of it, but maybe it's a little swollen?
Check out my thread on ravpower 2750.....read people's comments and how they like it.... Then buy one

My batteries (the OEM from purchase & an aftermarket) both started to fail at approximately 18 months. The aftermarket had the same symptoms you describe; the OEM just wasn't providing as long a life as I liked. First I tried an oversize extended life battery, but I didn't like the size and the cheap plastic humpback. I then bought two Anker 2700mAh batteries & a charger on eBay for about $30. All is now well again, with great performance and battery life. I selected the Anker batteries because they fit in the Note without the bulk of the extended back that larger batteries require.
One point about the Anker batteries I discovered; they do not work with the Samsung OEM charger due to polarity, you must have the universal type charger such as comes with the Anker batteries in order to charge outboard of the Note. Onboard charging with the OEM USB data/charging cable is not a problem.
Good luck.

Thank you, I actually did just go ahead and purchase a new battery, but it was the 2750mAh Ravpower that Shayne mentioned. Just popped it in last night and it definitely seems like my rebooting problems are gone. Fully charged it and it will receive the true test of battery life today at work.
