That sounds pretty nice! Thanks for the link.
If this research actually finds its way into the mainstream market in a few years like they claim, I would be really surprised. It would be sick though to have 10,000 mah batteries in the same size as our 1500 mah deals right now.
Impressive. I'm gonna start poking holes in my battery. Haha Jk

Tell us how that goes lol.
I read this on CNET. I wonder what the price differential will be? This is a big game changer for mobile devices as well as EV's and people who have battery/generator backups for their home and business.
I didnt even think about EVs. That would be a major game changer.
Imagine you would only need 10% the batteries to provide the same power/time. That significantly reduces the weight, meaning you could add in a few more batteries adding more power, while reducing weight. This leads me to think it is going to be expensive. Someone wants to make their money. Dependability always = more expensive! lol
I'm pretty stoked about the 15 min charge cycle lol.

If it pans out that the technology does work, the only reason I see it taking so long to implement is patenting. But if the moron Obama has his way, the only thing you will need to file a patent is an IDEA not even a working product -_- . Way to help pricing/competition.

I love that stuff...great in a pinch too!
Definitely a good read and thank you for sharing.
As for EV, this will be great for car manufacturers and bad for gas companies.
Think of how powerful we can make electric cars if the batteries can store a ton of power. They could be much faster than gas powered cars because they have full torque at 0 rpm.

And the gas companies "The Powers that be" won't let it happen, unless they get their grimmy hands involved. Hence why prices will be stupid. BP will be producing Batteries and you will hear stories of semi's falling into rivers and electrocuting everyone to death. (Sarcasm) lol

I just got my car yesterday made a month. 2005 Impala it had a problem when I got it, the car shakes when I hit 50mph or over. I took it to the dealership and they told me all it needed was a speed balance and it's been working ever since until today. I was on 75 doing about 60mph in the last lane to the left. All of a sudden my car start with the shakes again. I got kind of nervous cause I was going around a bend so I started holding the wheel with two hands. It was still shaking so I tried to slow down but the steering wheel started to go towards the left I tried to hold it steady and pump the brake to slow down but all of a sudden the car started to slide and I tried to avoid sliding into traffic to the right. I tried to lean into the wall and the car made a loud sound I thought the tire popped and all of a sudden I smacked the left wall and slid to the other side of the freeway and hit that wall and came to a stop. No air bags deployed my OG Evo was in my pocket and the Evo 3D was on the sprint universal dock in the middle of the car right above the radio. When things cleared up my 3D was up against my cracked up windshield I thought the glass would have been cracked it only had the Sprint hard snap on case and the phone was find it just turned off and took a while to cut on. The car dock holster for the phone came completely off and was on the floor in the passenger side of the car on the floor. The car is totaled I'm pretty much glad I'm okay. The ambulance guys were like how are you okay all the tires were balled and the engine dropped and none of my airbags deployed. He said looks like I was sold a BOLD car he asked what insurance I have told him Progressive full coverage and he said I would sue cause the car look like its a lemon sale or some term with lemon in it that they sold me. The police came looked at the tired and said they were all the way down to the bridge that how ball they were he told me to file a law sue to GM for the airbag as for the tires the dealership.
Pictures up in a few minutes. Have to post them from my OG Evo
Damn, that's intense. Glad to hear you're alright. As far as the airbag issue, I bet the stealership did something to them, not GM.
omfg dood! glad you survived!
How the heck do u buy a car without A) test driving it both at low and high speeds, and B) not look at what condition the tires were in.... Your buying used, and I'm afraid to say both you and the dealership should of caught it. But I'm glad you're safe.

Yea man I appreciate it. I was so worried I didn't know what to think I just didn't want to slide into traffic. If I didn't have on a seat belt I wouldn't be here right now. It could be but I'm definitely going to try and fight it man I got a car note on that car for 15,000+ and it's totaled due to a problem I told them about and on top of that I hit two walls and dragged against one of them and the neither of the airbags came out.

I did a low speed test drive like around the blocks a few times but not a high speed after I got the car I got on the freeway and noticed it took the car back and told them about it. That's when they told me to get a speed balance. After that it was okay until today.(Edited) but I don't know much about cars I should have researched it. Thanks I appreciate it
Thank God Nuggles is okay!

Recieved mine today. I'm in the process of reviewing its performance right now. I'll post tomorrow my results since I don't think its possible to drain it by tonight. I am leaving screen brightness %100, no dim or screen lock, 4g constantly on, live wall paper, and doing whatever else I can to REALLY put it to the test. None of this standby 15 min of internet 2 phone calls stuff. Battery monitor shows 650+ positive mA with all this going on if that means anything. Still learning.
First impression is its well made. It's definitely not a shoddy slap together item. Thought went behind design and usability. We shall see about performance. The case is attractive. Hard plastic, not flimsy at all. It's about an inch wider then EVO and 2inches smaller then its length. Perfectly square. Thickness is 2 EVO's stacked. It is alittle heavy. Someone said it was 10oz. So overall its way small for the juice your getting. Not to heavy. This is a battery after all.
The packaging was nice. A cardboard setup like the EVO where it slides out. Real packaging. Peel off sticker guards to prevent scratches. Come with 2 adapters and a charger. All is included to charge EVO. I'll end here and post performance of this device tomorrow.

Thanks for the review.
Well I've been using it constantly all day today from my first full charge. Been 11 hours and its at 50%. That's with screen brightness 100%, no dim/lock, live wallpaper, 4g constantly on. All that while using my phone for browsing the web, netflix, 3d camera, ect. I've been using my phone constantly as in non stop. So in all reality its not possible to use this up in one day of constant HEAVY usage. I have to fully recommend this product. Obviously I don't know about longevity but from what I've experienced so far I'm guessing it will last a long time. If you have any specific question ill do my best to help.

I bought one of these recently, the price on it is ridiculous but if you want a battery that will never die this is it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-verizon-htc-rezound-with-battery-door.html
It comes with a new back with a kickstand on it which is nice & it still fits in my HTCpedia extended battery case.
I am really hard on battery life as I stream audio all day at work (Iheart radio & Sirius online) & that really burns up battery life.. The VZ extended battery makes it a little over 8 hours usually doing that. The Mugen beast still has over 1/2 the battery life left at that point.
I recently went on a two day business trip & was still on the original charge of the thing when I flew home. I took a spare bateery with me, but never used it.

It's almost the same as the OEM extended battery. See here :

Would rather put that money toward a phone that doesn't need a battery that large to make it through a day. Oh wait I did do that.

Yea, it's not really much different at all.
I have three VZ extended batteries & when the phone is in my pocket (wearing either jeans or cargo shorts) I really can't tell which is which.
This thing is amazing, it lasts as long as my Son's Razr MAXX.
Speaker holes are small and it muffles the sound. Probably could cut a couple more slits in it. . But I wouldnt pay a hundred bux for a friggin battery
I agree the price is ridiculous (as I stated in my original post) but the back has not affected the sound on mine at all. It's not like the original speaker is all that powerful anyway.
I was pissed originally at the price for sure, but it's turning out to be one of the best investments I have made for this phone.
I literally never have to even glance at my battery gauge anymore, I couldn't kill this battery if I tried (streaming video/audio, screen on time etc etc nothing seems to matter) I have completely stopped carrying a spare batt, something I have done religiously since last October.
It's not for everybody, that's for sure but if you never want to worry about your battery life again this is just the thing.
They're charging an extra $50 for the kick stand. Watching that video reminded of how awfully slow this phone was @ stock.
I love my mugen compared to the oem extended. I have never had a dead phone on the mugen, but i did on the oem extended.
Yesm itvis way to pricey, but the 30% works for me.
Well if this wasn't a smack in the face! This morning I wake up with an email on my phone proclaiming this is now shipping. So a phone that already has a removable battery, with plenty of extra and extended batteries available, is first to the market with a case/battery combo, before a phone that doesn't have a removable battery? Not to mention they also got first dibs on their new waterproof case but that is understandable considering how many Samsung sells. Well needless to say I instantly shot off an email asking if and when they were planning on releasing something for the phones that actually need their product. Waiting for response.
I also seen this and was surprised. I have an S3 and can't for the life of me think why anybody would buy this product. A spare battery is only a few bucks and they are so small and easy to carry. Why would anybody want one if you had the choice?
I can understand it being a popular product for something like the one x or the Iphone that don't have a removable battery but it seems like a stupid idea to me to make this for the S3. They must have a market for it though I suppose.

This is just a result of Samsung's crack marketing, they got this sort of cult following now and that means there's a potential market for useless crap, I wouldn't mind a rechargable case for my lte but on a device with a removable battery it's more of a gimmick to me

at least with a case you wont have to remove the battery to put in another one
a case is not gimmicky for a phone like that imo
While I admit its useful, many of these device families use similar batteries. I loved that I could just toss my evo battery into my 3d and and keep going without having to spend money on an accessory that caters specifically to one device model. When I have upgraded the case will be useless in regards to the new phone, Unless the design is the same which is not very likely
My battery is the best I ever had on a smartphone..
No need for ugly aftermarket batteries or ugly cases with battery that make my beautiful EVO fugly!
I'm good!

it's not like we can't replace the battery on the 4g lte, you just have to remove some screws but luckily the phone is able to hold itself together without those screws
I currently carry a spare battery around with me like i did with the 3vo and it works great
Not surprised. right after the GS3 came out Trident had all the colors available for the Kraken and iirc the other cases they were planning to offer for that phone. The Evo LTE came out a few months before that and a few months AFTER they made the case for GS3, the ones for the Evo LTE started rolling out.
I can understand the Evo LTE not getting much love because only Sprint has it and its a different form factor than the HOX, but I'm a bit disappointed that the HOX didn't have a battery case by now. I don't actually need one myself as the battery life is sufficient to me but it would be great to have options.
You guys are acting like a bunch of EMO highschoolers. OMG why does the world hate us?
Seriously..... the S3 is a blockbuster phone. Yes, that attracts people to make accessories for it. Who would have thought that people looking to sell things want to have a large market for their products?
In the end... so what? If you can't get a full days charge out of this battery, you are doing something wrong.

I was a hardcore, die hard iPhone fan. Bought every single iPhone that came out( as well as other Apple products). The G2 is actually the first phone that impressed me! Most of my mates have S3s,S4s Note2&3s and just thought "WTF!" Their phones (as well as mine) would die by 2PM carrying around some dead piece of useless weight. trying to charge a bunch of batteries was an awfully pain chore too.
The day came were I sat next to this guy in a fully packed bus on a Thursday evening. He pulled out this gorgeous white device, I could barely notice the bezels. The screen was drop dead sexy. "Sorry mate, what phone you got?" I asked politely (this phone needs proper advertising!!!)
"LG G2!... came out yesterday" he replied.
Went home and did some research of this device I had never heard(let alone seen advertised). Its specs just blew all other Android smartphones out the water.
I decided to order one from Clove technology(White 32GB) and click the order button. I later called them to cancel the order but was already dispatched.
Delivery man knocked on the door at 07:14AM precisely. Still having that narrow-minded, typical Apple mentality, I signed the parcel and ditched it on the sofa. Came back home at 10PM and had nothing to do apart from watching TV or play GTA5. Out of curiosity I opened the parcel and opened the box and to my surprise it's the most comfortable phone I've held. It felt light and sturdy. Screen size was perfect. Amazingly fast phone! I've experienced no lag or stutters at all.
The moment came where I finally escaped the darkness. My eyes opened, I realized that the iPhone wasn't the best smartphone in the world. There were much better alternatives out there. It's the best decision I've made in the last decade. I still love Apple products but LG scored a hat-trick with their G2. There's no doubt I'll be buying the next 'G' (G3).
On a typical day at work with extremely heavy use, I usually laugh at my colleagues',(Samsung and iPhone users) bringing a crap load of chargers and batteries to work. By 2PM they'd all start moaning about their battery levels being critically low.

It's a fantastic phone, and you picked the right phone and the right moment to switch. I have had 4 Android flagship phones before this one, and the LG G2 is a LOT better than anything else that I have tried. My latest Android phone before this one was the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Jumping over to this one is like switching race car from an old truck to a brand new Ferrari.

I purchased it the same evening I saw the phone on the bus. That being said, I was so impressed by its display I made a purchase without making a solid decision. The best mistake I've made and don't regret it.
Good choice, the G2 really is an awesome phone.
LG definitely seems to have been quiet with their advertising around it (I see commercials for the iPhone, SGS4 and Moto X all the time and I think I've seen a G2 commercial maybe once or twice).
How did you put the stock android screen buttons on the G2 on those screenshots?

Went home and did some research of this device I had never heard(let alone seen advertised). Its specs just blew all other Android smartphones out the water.
I decided to order one from Clove technology(White 32GB) and click the order button. I later called them to cancel the order but was already dispatched.
Delivery man knocked on the door at 07:14AM precisely. Still having that narrow-minded, typical Apple mentality, I signed the parcel and ditched it on the sofa. Came back home at 10PM and had nothing to do apart from watching TV or play GTA5. Out of curiosity I opened the parcel and opened the box and to my surprise it's the most comfortable phone I've held. It felt light and sturdy. Screen size was perfect. Amazingly fast phone! I've experienced no lag or stutters at all.
The moment came where I finally escaped the darkness. My eyes opened, I realized that the iPhone wasn't the best smartphone in the world. There were much better alternatives out there. It's the best decision I've made in the last decade. I still love Apple products but LG scored a hat-trick with their G2. There's no doubt I'll be buying the next 'G' (G3).
On a typical day at work with extremely heavy use, I usually laugh at my colleagues',(Samsung and iPhone users) bringing a crap load of chargers and batteries to work. By 2PM they'd all start moaning about their battery levels being critically low.
Kind of late now for work but thanks for taking your time to read!:angel:

Firstly, you must be rooted.
1. Download' Xposed installer' and install it.
Link Xposed installer': (can't do that, I'm under 10 posts:crying: so google it
2. Go to the Play store and download 'G2 xposed'
3. Restart phone
4. Open up 'Xposed installer', select 'modules' then select 'Xposed LG G2 [1.2]'
5. Modify your device...:angel:
The only thing Iphone have over android is resell value and looks.
I personally think G2 is the best android phone out right now. Samsung is turning in apple where they are just milking there customers.
Same here.This phone is amazing.

I don't see a valid point in resell value of smartphones. I understand what you mean like the iPhones where you can resell for ridiculous prices compared to Androids and BBs. However, nearly nobody nowadays buys used smartphones. Myself for example, I'd rather donate them than sell them for £80= roughly $120 after I spent a ridiculous amount of money on them after I've kept them for 12-months. I'd be psychologically happy in helping someone by donating it to them than being ripped off. IMHO with the rapid loss of value in smartphones, there are two feasible options
1. Donate it or 2.keep it, but getting ripped for stupid resell prices? it's totally up to you.
People in this day and age want the latest technology, not some outdated stuff. I can't name a single person wanting to buy or currently owning a used smartphone.
^I wonder what part of the world you live in. Take 30 seconds and look through the cell phone section on Craigslist, refresh it in a few hours... Yeah.

Looking through Gumtree ( Craigslist equivalent) over half of the G2's for sale are sealed and not used. They were unwanted upgrades. Paying attention to when the used ones were uploaded, they're quite old by at least a week whereas the sealed once go live and are sold within the first week...

you are right in one thing a typical android phone sells for $120~ after 2 years. But Iphone on the other hand after 2 years still command $200~. plus its easier to sell use iphone products than android
that's just you but some people do buy use phones.
