Hi,
I might switch to the xperia z2 as my new phone. However, I am currently on a galaxy s3 with a 7000 mAh battery so I would like to know of any decent battery expansion options exist for the Z2. I was looking into battery cases as I want everything to be in one package as opposed to having a separate power bar.
Do you know of any good/reliable battery cases?
I was looking at one from Brando workshop but the company does not seem reliable and there is no frontal protection. I can't post a link due to my noob status.

Hi, with stamina mode on my z2 has been on for 2.5 days and still has 18% battery left. How much power do you need.
I am a quite heavy user and WiFi is on permanently.
My z did not last a day and I used a powerbank case with a 3000mhr battery. Was a good case but I haven't needed one.
Then your not a heavy user, he clearly is, I only get a day, day and a half max
So far I've only found these... I have been looking too.

Brando cases were a popular option for the Lumia 920 when I was still on WP, I never heard anything particularly bad about them and assuming this is as cheap as the 920 one was I'd say it is probably worth a try.
sorry for the late reply guys. Thanks for the help.
I emailed Brando about having an xperia z2 case with Cover and they actually added one. If quality is not a concern, I would definitely check it out. Search xperia z2 battery case on their site to find it. (I still can't post links)
Unless it's still waterproof I couldn't use one personally, St the moment I just under clock the cpu to save battery, all apps still work flawlessly and smoothly at 1.5 ghz

Thanks for the tip regarding Brando. I just purchased a white Brando one so hoping its as good as it appears. I noticed plenty of the Ebay ones dont mention it but when i emailed the sellers, they are charge only, dont support data sync which would be a hassle having to always remove it from the case.
Whereas this one mentions data sync exists.
data sync?

Pretty sure data sync cannot function thru the magnetic charging port but...
So does the data sync work on the Brando battery case???
Pretty awesome if it does!

Nope, definitely doesn't support data sync. When I advised the seller of this, they apologised and eventually offered me a refund in full, allowed me to keep the case and advised they would update their website to remove that it supports data sync but few days ago when I checked they haven't updated anything lol

There is a new double capacity 2200mAH battery in Expansys website:
http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=183044
Wonder how is the thickness increased by this new battery? Is there any impact to the GPS radio as seen in some extended battery in original Diamond?
I'm sure that the thickness increased!
Otherwise not be sold with cover. It is like the diamond 1.
This one is much more modest (1350 mAh), but seems to fit within the original back cover:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG
It seems that extended batteries are appearing on the net already, nice, I would like to have something a little bit more beefy than the original one (2200 mAh may be overkill), to be able to use my TD2 on the move while not worrying about saving battery (GPS and wifi while away from plugs for 1 day for example). A battery slightly larger than the orginal, plus the original as a backup, should cover all my uses cases...
The website mentioned the extended battery only price at GBP8.90. Wish buyer may get the goods.

Interrested about your test too: how does it fit, how long for charging it (compared to standard one), and of course the most important thing: does it offer increased battery life

I bought the same one, but the size is much smaller and a bit wider than the original, as I explain in my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3943769#post3943769
I told the guy, and he told me there must be some mistake, and he' ll send it again. How does yours look like size-wise? Is it working properly?
any news on the 1350 battery?
The issue is solved, as I explain in my relevant post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525090&page=2
The battery I was given was wrong. The guy sent me the correct one now, and everything seems fine.
I've ordered 2 of these (2 batteries & 2 external chargers). I can't believe how cheap they are and the seller claims they are compatible with the HTC Hero (Sprint). He also appears to have fairly great feedback.
I'll let you know how they work out when they arrive.

yeah was gonna get the 1750 extended one but this is much cheeper
thanks for the post

This might be more what your looking for mate ... http://cgi.ebay.com/for-Sprint-HTC-...Accessories?hash=item3a53d22232#ht_2442wt_802
Yep, they work. I now have 2 HTC Heros, each with 3 batteries & 2 wall chargers. They're slim enough to fit one or even two in my wallet without too much extra bulk.
So glad I ditched that POS iPhone.
it looks good! but i am very concern about the quality as you know that battery always explode nowadays!
thanks for posting the link, I'm also going try the battery out and see if they would blow lol
I've got them two weeks ago, using them since. One of them have in wallet (haven't used this one yet) and the other one is in the phone - original is back in the box.
They're ok, little bit weaker than original, but for this price. One thought - I had to use the pile to get them into the phone, they were a 1mm too long
Weaker than the originals? They should be better lol.
And you guys are buying batteries for that cheap and really arent worried about them either a)exploding or b) overheating and melting or melting internal components in the phone .. ?? The quality cant be that great
What's been your experience in terms of the change in feel, anesthetic etc.
It has to more than double its weight! Whether Are U really missing using regular back/battery.
Thanks
where can we buy those? didnt came across 3500mah yet..
Search Ebay. Reliable dealer... Good rep.
also looking for review
Still waiting for it to be delivered. I ordered one actually. We'll see if its okay. Will post here after trying and testing it out.
I don't need that !

I have been using the 3500mAh battery and cover for the last 2 weeks and I actually prefer it to the original battery and cover. For me, it is more comfortable to hold and I get close to 20 hours between each charge and have I have WiFi on, auto brightness disabled and brightness level at 90%, background sync on, 4 gmail accounts syncing, my Hotmail account syncing every 10 mins and throw in about 30 mins of game play most days. I bought the battery and cover from eBay for about A$13.00 delivered so I am ecstatic! I highly recommend it
I've had one for a few weeks. Like the above poster the phone is actually easier to hold, but the new cover is made of softer plastic so is pretty scratched up already. As to the battery life I'm a little more dubious. Certainly longer than the stock battery but I doubt it's the 3500mah claimed, but your mileage may differ depending on who you buy from. It would be good if there was an app for benchmarking batteries (is there)? I might just loop a movie for an hour or two and compare with the standard battery.
Hi,
I was planing to buy GooApple but then came across this new phone.
Has any one bought it ?
Any reviews?
fastcardtech is selling the same on their site
They are also saying that it has 3800mA battery, which i pretty good.
Any suggestions/reviews
Just received it on monday. Have been using it, but the battery dies quicker than I expected. With extensive use you definitely won't make it through the day (mostly due to screen use). The GPS and WIFI are definitely huge battery users. The phone itself however is very good. There's a lack of Android store on it right now, so I'm downloading it now and will install it when I get home using the APK.
Overall its a good phone, just the battery doesn't seem to be that great. I'm going to check if its just a faulty battery and try the other one.

Glass or plastic.
Hi,
The back and the front cover of M99 is plastic or glass ?
Thank you
Is the camera really 5.0mp? I've bought loads of phones that say they are & turn out to be 0.3mp.

To whom it may concern,can someone tell me where can I purchase batteries for this particular M99 Google S4 (the rectangular ones with 3800 maH)thanks in advance..Al
Can anyone suggest where to find good batteries?
I'm getting a used Note Pro and I don't know if the battery performance will still be decent. I'm buying a 30000mAh power bank along with it but I would love to know where I can find good batteries in case I want to replace them myself. I can do the replacement (skills and tools present) but I need to find a good battery first

3rd party batteries are a hit and miss. They just don't have the quality control big companies have. It's pretty cheap so just give it a shot. Returns on Amazon are easy.

Thank you... I saw that earlier but the mixed reviews threw me off. I was hoping someone here has had a positive experience with a particular brand.

Using that one now...
Been using that particular one for about 6 months now without problems, but quality varies on these generic brands. If you are going to be replacing the battery, make sure you clean and treat the terminals with Deoxit Red, then coat with Deoxit Gold http://a.co/dRU123V - that stuff is pricey, but worth every penny you spend. You will never have connection issues again. I use that every time I put something back together.
Also look around the site for instructions on how to re-solder the battery connectors - some users have had issues like flickering brightness because of marginal connectors. Hardest part is getting the back off (and it isn't hard) - just take your time and you won't have any problems.

I can attest to the minimal level of difficulty in removing the back panel of the sm-p900.
Just slow and steady with something similar to a medium-hard + hard guitar pick (credit/gift card thickness vary...or some guitar picks lol) And as usual, there is always the $100 plastics kit....which I want no part of, but spend it if you got it.
I just wedged a guitar pick between the backing and the screen (feel/look for the seam, you'll find it) to get the opening started, then wedged a credit card in to keep it from snapping back shut, and moved steady around the perimeter (adding chopped old gift cards in parts to keep from snapping back together) until the front and back separated.
There may be a couple of connections that would need to be disconnected prior to pulling the back panel and face completely apart (I think, but again, it's been a while now so don't hold me to that), but either way, I'm sure you could pull the connection for the battery (the battery is in the middle, top side, near camera) without having to fully separate, but it's much easier when separated all the way (in my experience at least).
I've had to reconnect the battery before after the battery connection became a tad loose somehow, causing the battery itself to get very hot (and very dangerous I might add) Now that I think about it, didn't this happen with a very popular phone recently SAMSUNG?!? And part of the GALAXY line? Hmm. Odd.
