Hi,
I'm getting my Pro2 today and since I'm very worried about battery life (I hope to be using the TP2 A LOT), I was wondering how much an extended case adds to the phone.
This is what I had in mind (German Ebay but I think you know what I mean from the picture there):
http://cgi.ebay.de/Power-Akku-Li-Io...4579?pt=DE_PDA_Zubehör_KM&hash=item53e279e3e3
Does anybody have such a case for an extended battery? How comfortably can you carry the phone in your back pocket compared to the normal case?
Thanks in advance!
I don't know if I would bother with a case like that (it looks like it'll make the phone about 50% thicker). With the stock battery, it lasts more than long enough for me to get through the day, so all I have to do is plug it in each night. What I'd do is just see how long it lasts you for the first week or so then decide if you want to get an extended battery, HTC makes an extended battery and cover so I'd look into that rather than a third party one.

If you think the phone is fat now, don't try it. It makes it bulkier but also a bit uglier (and i have yet to see a silicon type 2-piece case for the extended back cover (how are you going to protect it after install the extended stuff?))
Wait and see if the normal battery suits you , then if yes just go out and buy another one plus battery charger from ebay and you are set! If not, well it doesn't really give you a choice. You are going for the extended.

After all the purchases i have inside ebay and seeing the prices of the original models, i'd be nuts to prefer the official against the oem from a seller with proven history!
Thanks for your replies!
The extended case does indeed look ugly, so I'm holding off buying one for now. However, despite my light use so far (I need to get the data connections turned off first), it does feel like the battery doesn't last long at all, especially compared to my good old K750i, which I could use to play mp3s for literally days (which I wasn't expecting with the TP2, of course, but still - that was really nice).
I'll wait and see, I guess. But since the docking station, which I also got from ebay, doesn't seem to recharge the battery fast enough, I might have to look for a solution soon.
I have also seen a 1750 mah battery that isn't bigger at all. It fits underneath your existing case, and it is an improvement of 250mah.
I cannot post links atm. Just google "Seidio Inno 1750mAh Extended Life Battery " and find it on amazon. It costs about 50 dollars.

Hmm, 1750mAh isn't that much bigger of a capacity.

Hmm, $50 is a little too much for my taste, since I paid only little more that $100 for the whole phone and there are plenty of batteries for less than $20 out there.
I have the extened back and battery. Well worth it if you use the phone alog like I do. with the OE battery I was getting down to less than 20% battery life in not time at all. Now I get down to around 50% by days end.
Google HTC and 74H01486-01M (the part number for the OEM HTC extended back) they cost $12.95 (USD)
When I set the extened back next to the phone with the OEM back on it, the extened back is as tall as the original phone, so it is adding about 1/2 inch to the thickness.
Don't expect to find a case for it either, I have had my phone for 1 year and have yet to find a case that it fits in. I have an old worn out one that was stretched that I can get it into.
@wooptyone: Thanks for sharing! I am back to considering the extended case as well since I will be reading a lot of ebooks with the TP2 and the battery does indeed go down pretty quickly. Also, I discovered that I'm not using a case anyway since I have the phone in my chest pocket all the time. The only downside is the docking station that I bought for it, but since that isn't working as intended (apparently the current isn't enough to load the phone while also acting as a USB port ), the extended case so look attractive right now.
Sadly though I can't find the case you mentioned in Europe and S/H would double the price.

i bought a htc original battery for 7.95 on amazon and a fomson dock which has a slot to charge the extra battery outside the phone for about 20 bucks. I carry the spare and am good to go.
Thanks for the post
I don't remember where I saw it, but I remember there being a Samsung Galaxy S II 2000 mAH battery that was NFC-Capable and required no bigger battery door.
Does anyone have the link?
Search ebay for this: GENUINE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-i9100-ORIGINAL-BATTERY-2000mAh-HIGH-CAPACITY-COVER
I am new to this forum so I can't post a link yet.
I purchased it a few weeks ago for my At&t S2. It works great! When at home on the weekends my battery only goes down to about 70% by the end of the day, before it usually dropped to around 30-40%. Although the battery fits perfect the new cover was made to fit only the Korean version of the phone. I used an xacto knife and trimmed the interfering catches on the sides of the new cover so it fit in place. The end catches of the cover still fit. I then placed the phone in a TPU case which fit perfect without any budges or stretches. Actually feels better to handle and still weighs 8 grams less than my old iPhone 4.

Looking at the pictures it seems that the new battery cover is every so slightly larger. Is that true?
Yes, the Korean battery cover makes the back of the phone flat instead of dipped at the bottom. Also recesses the camera window slightly which is good to protect it. Same texture on the new cover as the original one. It's too bad Samsung didn't make the catches the same on both covers.
The battery works w/o reboots when charging via USB?
So, does it say "Near Field Communication" on the back of the battery like the original 1650maH one?
I have an extra 2000 mAH NFC battery for sale. PM me.
The Korean 2000ma battery does say NFC on the back and I have not noticed any reboots when connected to my PC. I actually don't connect via USB very much, just use Kies air which works good.

Would you say that the back would have no problem staying on if you didn't use a case? I have the car dock and a case won't fit, but I think the battery would. Thanks.
I have not tried to carry the phone without the external case. Mine won't fall off but doesn't require much effort to pop it off with a finger nail. I would be uneasy to use the Korean back without the external case. I did have to give up my home charger base because of using the external TPU case, but I felt it was justified by the extra protection provided by the case.
I have a Ballistic SG case on my phone. Would this battery possibly still fit?

I searched and all I'm finding are international sellers, which takes forever and in the past I've gotten several fakes from international sellers. Anyone know if Amazon or a US Seller has this extended ORIGINAL battery?
Thanks!
I am also hesitant to buy the battery from a foreign 3rd party seller. I spent about an hour and a half on Samsung Korea's website with google translate and I haven't been able to find it for sale on their site.

I MAY be going to Seoul in the next couple weeks... if I do end up going I'm def going to pick one of these up
So I got the Battery today, the battery cover doesn't fit perfectly. I had to get a buffer and do it to both sides of the insertion cover (left + right) for it to be "snugly", though I went overboard on the right side and it's pretty ugly if you look in between the cracks.

Sounds far less than ideal. :-(
The less than perfect fit on the battery cover was not an issue for me. I knew of the issue before ordering the battery. What was important was extended battery life and I wanted to put the phone in a light weight case anyway. The TPU case was a perfect fit and affords a better grip then no case. I am running JuiceDefender in auto mode with a very stock AT&T phone. Bluetooth and wifi are always on and two imap email accounts. On work days I'm usually down to around 70% by night, weekends typically 80% left. I use the phone only on a moderate level, no game playing or videos. Just nice to know I have plenty of reserve left just in case I need a heavy use for a few hours.

Juice defender is so crippling. If you're only using 20-30% all day with JD enabled, why bother? Might as well unleash your phone's full potential, and let it do it's thing. You may only have 20-30% remaining at the end of the day, but as a non-power user, why do you bother using JD? Are you OCD like me and hate seeing less than 75% battery remaining? LOL
It fits perfect now, and it's still thinner and lighter than the original Galaxy S (Captivate)!
Any pics? I want to get an idea of how much thicker it gets.

I don't have a camera, but it's as thick as the bump in the back.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to share this because it might help someone. I bought the extended battery directly from Verizon because I wanted more autonomy and at first it worked as expected.
Over time though, I noticed that my phone stuggled with 4G and would switch to 3G most of the time, and when it stayed on 4g, it wouldn't really work. The browser would start loading and then be stuck at 80% for ever.
With new kernels available, I figured I should give the regular battery a test drive to see how it performs and I was surprised to see that my 4G problems went away.
I had noticed that my extended battery cover was getting very loose and I'm guessing that the contacts for the antenna weren't working properly anymore because I had to remove that cover so many times to do a battery pull.
It also seems that the regular cover that came with the phone has a lot more metal circuits in the cover so perhaps the regular cover works as a better antenna than the extended battery cover.
In any case, it worked for me. I would get 1x or 3g on a good day at the office and right now I'm listening to Pandora over 4g with no network shortage. So if you do have network issues with the extended battery cover, see if the regular cover helps, it did for me.
I think it is a hit or miss, my cover is great. Tight and works well.
Extended battery is great. Still creaks though.
I just decided to use my extended and I don't even get 4g. It was a cheap one so i could care less. Never had 4g in the area when I first bought it so never noticed it.

If your good with a sodering iron you can superglue and soder a piece of aluminum(tin foil or cut up pop can) on the inside of the extended back cover attached to the gold leads.. it'll strengthen the antenna. It worked previously in the past for me I just went back to using two stock batteries with an external lith-ion charger to keep me always up with at least one full battery no matter what.

I have always assumed the extended cover provides inferior reception of wifi and cell due to smaller antennas.
Over the years I never purchased Verizon's accessories like chargers. Verizon would buy the cheapest available that would work. Instead I purchased accessories made by the phone manufacturer.
On the other hand I got my Verizon extended battery and back free when I purchased this phone and it does seem to work okay. I assume the HTC cover works better.
I am currently using the standard htc cover cut for extended battery in a cut otterbox defender case.
Btw my rezound gets far more wifi signal bars at home compared to my Motorola Droid X.
thanks, more reason for me to keep my standard cover & battery

Well, first of all, the extended battery Verizon sells is the HTC battery and cover...they just repackage it in a Verizon branded box. Second, the Verizon branded car charger is by far the best car charger I've ever had. We have three of them because we replaced all of our other ones that were complete junk.
Inthe extended battery cover, the antennas in it are the exact same size and shape, and are in the exact same locations. If you just glance at it, you might think otherwise, but if you take a second to study it, you can clearly see why it looks different. Instead of being the bare gold colored antenna wires, they are futher coated with some kind of protective coating that makes them the same color of black as the cover. However, if you hold them in the light and study them, you can see the shape of the antenna inside the coating, and it's the same as the standard.
Anecdotally, I can say that there is no difference in reception between the standard and extended battery cover for me, and I am in a situation where I would notice it. My house gets awful signal, barely one bar in most places, and switching to the extended battery didn't change that at all. If it actually got worse reception, then I would not get reception at home.

I bought that Mugen slim extended battery, it is ever so slightly thicker and stops the creaking in the factory battery cover.

Strike, you are right!
There is some kind of black coating in the same areas where the standard cover has its antennas. These are not the exact same shape, but very close. Thanks for telling me about it.
Btw I stopped buying verizon chargers in my flip phone days. They did work, looked cheap, and cost more than buying genuine oem on the Internet . It is possible verizon chargers are better now.
I can attest to the standard battery cover not working any better than the extended one. At home, I seemingly get the same number of bars on WiFi, 3G and 4G and the same speeds with either cover. At work in the office, I still get spotty reception at best, with occasional drops to 1x or no data.
Perhaps I damaged my extended battery case then because I tried again and I definitely get way worse connection with it. I did take it off and put it back on a LOT and it's to the point where it's really loose so perhaps the phone connections don't make good contact with it.
I'm not too worried though because with the new kernels, the battery lasts longer and I can put a case on again without making my phone look like a brick.
I'd like to see some pictures of that!

I hope bumping an old thread is better than creating a new one.
I'm having awful 4G connectivity issues. My phone doesn't drop to 3G, the "Quick Settings" shows Mobile Network into "Connecting" then "On" then back to "Connecting" and etc. etc.
I have dropped my phone in the past, so could it be the case, but what about the SIM card? I'm still on GB, is that possibly the problem?

I agree on the verizon car charger. It charges much faster than any other car charger I have used. Even on my galaxy nexus.
Didn't read much but I'm pretty sure the antennas in the ext bat cover are exactly the same as the standard one. I haven't had any reception issues, never have.
The first cover I got with the battery was loose and would halfway pop off on the side that doesn't have the charge port. I exchanged it at Verizon for one that fit pretty good but now it's creeks on that side and it's kind of annoying. I'd exchange it but I think it's past the return date or will be in a few days (if it's 30 days) actually I should check that because the store is a mile and a half from me lol. Ridiculous to me that a 50 dollar battery and cover has fit issues (Yay HTC -_-) . Not to mention how ugly and awkward it is in the hand. Ugh and it's annoying how it rocks on the table. But the battery life is awesome.. 2 days of use now with normal use for me on 4G lol...
Edit: also I cut one the back of one of my silicone cases out to fit the battery door. Feels better that way, went through two to get it just right... I actually prefer the girth and weight added. (heh)

I actually found that and saw a ton of bad reviews for it on the web so I decided not to get it.
Is yours descent? Supposedly the guy just makes a cut out on cheap cases and sends them out. Lot of people were saying it was loose or poorly cut and so on
So I bought a really nice, 4 month old, rooted unlocked i717 a few months old to sub for my TMobile S2 on occasion. Battery life was kinda lousy so I looked online and found the Anker had good reviews. I bought one, noticed it was just slightly heavier, and in use that it had noticeably better life than the stock one.
I ended up getting a few minor scratches on that phone's screen and even though I originally loved it (better size than the Note 2, I like the four buttons, same sim size as my S2 for easy swapping) I started to hate it JUST because of the scratches.
I just bought another one, for much less! with AT&T JB, with more accessories. This one is also rooted though I'll need to get it unlocked for TMobile. ANYWAYS,.... I plan to use that Anker battery in this one and sell the other Note and perhaps my T869. I wanted a Note 2 for the battery and refinements but couldn't pass this up, especially as I prefer the proportions and buttons of the original. This one's coming with better cases and a screen protector.
Has anyone measured a good condition stock battery and a 2700 Anker? I know I got a noticeable day to day difference but would like to see actual proof. I got a lot of good news today, sorry about the rambling!
How is the original Note's Defender case? Most of the reviews I've found have been for the Note 2 and mention the screen protector being raised a bit and the home button letting dust in. I don't mind keeping a regular screen protector underneath the Otterbox protector to snug it up and protect it; I'm used to my S2 in two sandwich bags on the beach. I'd still really like a sand/waterproof case if one ever becomes available (and for my T989!). I'm so close to buying an S3 just to get the Seidio Obex! This phone's coming with a Commuter and a screen protector.
Also, are there any good one-piece 2 amp chargers? I've learned to carry a charger to some of my shifts, scorekeeping and such, and I like a nice compact charger to stick in my pocket. My older Samsung charger is nice and compact but barely levels out my current Note when it's being used.
Thanks, and sorry for the verbosity!
Sorry!
To summarize, i717 2700 Anker measured against stock, i717 Defender, and one piece tablet chargers.
Edit-there was a post between my two, dunno what happened.

I'm confused? Is the 2700mah Anker battery stock size, or extended? If it's stock, can you link me to amazon, as I'd be willing buy and test it

2500 is stock .... 2700 is obviously extended ...it fits like the OEM battery

Mine fits perfect, no back cover bump or anything. I really noticed a solid improvement over stock. I still have both batteries but no way to measure them. I stopped using the stock one and, to make up for still only ok battery life, stick it on a charger when I'm at home using it for prolonged periods.
Any update on this battery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not from me, sorry! Once I noticed a decent improvement from stock I haven't used stock on either Note, even though the newer one came with two Samsung batteries and I still have the one from the first one.
Where did you guys bought the Anker from? I checked their Amazon site and its over 50 dollars, the rest of phone model batteries are about 15 something but why is note i717 so expensive??
hey all,
Im thinking about getting an extended battery for my note, probably a 5200mah. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before or if anyone thinks it would work. There is a tpu case thats meant to cover phones with extended batteries. Ad says n7000 but ive seen another ad that lists the n7000 and i717 as being compatible.

what do ya think?
Hi, I bought both the tpu case($5) and the 5200mha extended battery with back cover($10) from eBay and am pretty satisfied. The case fits real well around this extended back cover, not being the best case only because I would prefer something more rugged, however it has a hole for charms. The extended battery is pretty good so far as well. I am a really heavy user, and this 5200mha battery lasts me for a while, definitely time and half of the original 2600mha battery. I read forums using my phone and am constantly flashing roms or playing/downloading new apps. In my personal opinion I think this battery and case are worth the $15.
triavq,
So how do you like the battery and case? I know it's been many months, but I am curious?
I have the same one ordered (in Black) but not received yet..long way from china to here!
I going to try and squeeze that case around a 7000mAh battery and back cover. I don't like the squared off back cover that comes with some of those extended batteries.
I am hoping the 7000mAh battery isn't much thicker than the 5200mAh ones.
