Has anyone seen an extended battery for our G3? I had a zerolemon battery on my s3 before I upgraded and I really miss being able to go a whole day without worrying about my battery dying. It would be really cool if someone made one for the g3 that supports NFC and Qi charging.
My g3 lasts me through the whole day with medium to heavy usage without charging but it would be cool to have an extended battery case that has a slim profile
No need to buy extended battery because standard battery is the best. The weight of mobile increases if you use extended battery. Perfect standard battery can give you a whole day even on hard use. But it needs proper charging, sometimes people forget to charge their phone and in their way to office they come to know they did not charged the phone in this scenario travel charger will help. Just like I am using this. You can also buy from the dealer named Avantek. See this item
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L34ARD2
I don't know what everyone else considers hard use but how I use my phone I burn through about 10% every hour. On a full charge the battery lasts about 10 hours which is 4 hours short of the 14 hours that I'm awake. That's not including using the camera or running any resource intensive apps. I could probably kill the battery in under 3 hours playing a 3d game. As for weight and thickness, I would not have gotten a g3 if I wanted my phone to be super light and super thin. The g3 is thicker than my two and a half year old gs3. I know its not for everyone but some of us really appreciate having an extended battery.

I would just get another OEM battery. Keep the phone profile low, and just pop in the spare when you need it. I keep mine in my wallet.

I have three batteries for the G3. LOL. Only used one tho.
You don't really need extended battery - the standard battery can last you long enough with proper care. Just do the usual - brightness low, mobile data off etc etc and it should last you a day or almost a day.
Make sure to get your free battery.

"You" may not need an extended battery but please don't tell me what I need. As for ME, I don't see a point in having a phone if it doesn't keep me connected 24/7..or if I can't see what's on the screen. I started this thread just to see if there was something out there... Not to be told what I do or do not need

I bought mine on 9/2. Has anyone tried sneaking it through outside of the dates? I'm going to give it a shot, just wondering if anyone else had luck.
Also, that Mugen battery looks nice. I already have a Diztronic case on, wonder how difference the bulk is?

Hi everybody. I have a little question; I'm looking for an extended battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. I had some Chinese crap for a while, but it started to completely die on me. At first I went two days on a single charge and do some mad texting and browsing the internet a few times a day for 20-some minute periods. Now, this battery lasts me half of the day just to have the phone on Stand By.
I have a cover identical to this one; mien is not sold anymore http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300432340749&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Now, I really need a new battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, but I also don't want to spend more than $40 with shipping, on it. Any help?? Thank You Guys For Your Help!!
Addition: I want something above 3200 mAh
I haven't seen anything of such a capacity. But you can obtain the item# 180463578660 from ebay.com (sorry I'm not allowed to post links), try it and let us know whether it's a crap, too

Thanx!! As far as I can tell, this is a cheap Chinese battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it dies 1 month down the road. My battery that I have now looks just like this one, if it is not the same as this. Thank You Though!!
Anybody else??

Whoa! That's a lot of mah's. I bet a HTC battery like this one...
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38477&cat=4592
...would last as long as a 3200mAh cheap china knock off battery.
Of course your cover may not work, and would need this one to go with the HTC battery.

I can't find any extended batteries for the GSM phones.
The only two suggestion I have, is do what I do. I have a spare OEM battery that gets charged in a cradle. I will take it with me if I fear a dead battery before I can find somewhere to charge back up. And I have one of these in my laptop bag as a redundant source for charging.

That cover won't work with the T-mobile US version. The US version has a very shallow cover, whereas all other models have a large wrap-around cover. You might be able to get the cover for the Mugen battery and use it with some other large battery.

If you go to NRG, use the "classic" CHT, not the 2.0; the 2.0 is still in beta and the last one I flashed was a battery hog.

FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.
Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.
I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?
I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..
The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.
I would advise not to buy yet.
i too have the "?" on grey market batteries
i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%

Seriously; I have 2 "High-Capacity Gold Batteries", 1930 mAh, for my Titan.
When plugged in they show either 255% or -1% charge, never go back to normal.
When unplugged, they never show 100% charge, maximum of about 94%.
They seem to last about the same as the stock battery...
Hi, you have to full restore your HTC Titan (Backup recommended) if you get a new battery pack! I guess it indicates what the specs are in the battery. I know this because I bought a new battery pack and I had this problem! So I full restored my phone and now it's fine!
I have a Rezound I got in June of 2012, I am unlocked and running CM10.1 and the phone has never run smoother, but the battery is killing me. Back in December my battery just outright died and Verizon gave me a new one. The problem is that even though this battery is only five months old I only get half a day off a full charge. This morning I played a game for ten minutes or so and surfed Reddit for a few, in total less than thirty minutes of use and I was already down to 85% on my battery. Does anyone else have problems like this, is there an actual fix, am I doing something wrong? Someone help please.
i use the pc to charge the battery its charge it at 500mah max
the battery life is better then normal charging
i use for browser uc with lower brightness and low image

Try another battery, undervolt your phone, reduce your brightness, etc.. Can you take a screen shot of Settings, Power, Battery Use to see what's using most of your power? I'd suspect the screen is since it's a power hog.

I will start manually controlling my screen brightness, and what do you mean by "undervolt your phone"? Attached is a SS of m battery usage.
Make a screen shot after clicking on Screen item on you your screen shot. That way we can see how much usage of screen time you get. Usually I don't get more then 2 hours of screen time.

If you got about thirty minutes of screen on time with only 15 percent drop in battery, then that is pretty good for this phone. Sorry to inform you, but it isn't going to get any better with this phone. Battery life is, and always will be, the worst aspect of the Rezound.

Yeah that is a bit of an odd one to me as most reviews said battery life is about the same as the Galaxy Nexus, and most people I know with that phone are content with the battery life.

I assume you're talking about the stock battery and not the extended. With the extended I usually get about 5 1/2 hours screen on, but that with maybe 5% left.

Screenshot or it didn't happen. Seriously though get an extended.
where would you all recommend coming across an extended battery? ebay etc? Also, I got an extended battery a little while ago, granted it wasn't HTC oem or anything, but the back cover that came with it did not appear to really give me any signal anymore, as if the contacts for the antenna were not touching in order to allow for the signal to be amplified.
I have this: 2750mAh Battery For HTC Rezound, ThunderBolt 2 Extended with Black back cover from UK-Expert (can't post links yet)
I know I know...probably not the greatest thing to trust...didn't think much about it at the time =P Should I just go for buying htc oem off ebay? or what do you all suggest to get the extended battery & the cover so that it actually works this time =P

As you know our antenna is part of the battery cover. I have read quite a few posts where people buy an offbrand extended battery and their signal ends up bad because of the new battery cover. So because of that personally I would buy your first extended from Verizon. You have to be careful buying "oem" batteries off of Amazon and EBay because they make claims that they are oem when they are just lookalikes. I can suggest a case too that won't add any thickness to the back. I got that case and extended and love it.

ok will do. that case is out of stock but i'll check around I'll be careful looking for them since Verizon doesn't want anything to do with the Rezound accessories much anymore...or at least I had no luck finding anything. I'll see what I can gather up on ebay/amazon hopefully I get lucky thanks.
I recently purchased the 2500 mAh Samsung Extended Battery kit for the Alpha from "Fonejoy". It only took one week to get, which is impressive being that it came all the way to PA from the UK. I actually didn't "need" the extended battery...reason being that I ran G Service Fix and found that I have 2 wake locks that were causing my poor battery life. I decided to keep it because I wanted the extra weight of the battery (I find the Alpha with the regular battery too light) and one can always you more battery life.
Long story short, I have to say that I'm extremely impressed with the extended battery and I highly recommend it. I was getting much improved battery performance after fixing the wake locks, but the battery performance of the extended battery kit far exceeded my expectations. Here are a list of the benefits (my "likes"):
1. The look and feel of the back battery cover is the same as the original cover that came with my phone. It's the same soft, "leatherette"...no idea what it's actually called. But, it's the same as the original. I like the fact that it just says "Samsung", rather than AT&T like my original cover.
2. I like the added weight of the battery. It adds just enough grams of weight to feel more substantial in your hand. It's a very slight weight difference, but just noticeable.
3. It barely adds bulk to the phone. It's just a few MM thicker. Proof of that is that it fits perfectly in the SPIGEN Neo-Hybrid case I also bought, which is intended to fit with the original battery.
4. Now for the main benefit, the extended battery time. Currently, I'm at 1 day and 9 hours with 2.5 hours of screen-on-time, and it's only down to 49%! That's exceptional performance. I will post an update when it's down to 10% to see how long it lasted. I'm very happy with the performance. And, with this battery, I reverted back to turn ON Bluetooth. Previously, I had turned it off to save battery life, but now I feel like I can actually use features of the phone that I'm intended to use.
Please let me know if you have any questions about it.

I completely agree. No idea why Samsung couldn't have shipped the phone with this battery, especially at the original price point of the phone.
Update: I'm now at 2 DAYS and 3 hours of SOT, and still have 30% battery left! I couldn't have come close to this before.
Please post some detailed pictures with the new battery fitted on the phone. Just to make a clear ideea of the thickness of the battery. Also, my Galaxy Alpha is sleek silver...have you seen extended battery pack with sleek silver cover? Thank you!

What are the two G Fix service that drained the battery? and what was the solution?

Hi, my battery drain before was cased by 2 "wakelocks". Before all this I had no idea what a "wakelock" was. The 2 that I had were actually caused by Google. Essentially, google play store and google services were stuck in an "on" cycle and just killing my battery really fast. It was like a percent every minute. As it turns out, "wake locks" are not uncommon.
I installed G Service Fix. It's a free app. I think there are several similar apps, but I used this one. All I can say is that the difference was immediate. Before doing the fix, the phone wouldn't even last a full work day. I was pissed. I felt I had to get the bigger battery. However, after the fix, it easily lasted over a 24-hour period. I really didn't need the bigger battery, but I had already ordered it from the UK. And, I knew that it would add a touch more weight to the phone, which I wanted.
Now that I have the bigger battery and the wake locks fixed, my phone lasted 2 days and still had over 30% left. The difference after fixing the wake locks was remarkable.
Just installed g fix, lets see if my sot will get bettrt
Im ok with the original one. Btw good review.
Nice post..now to find one. the Alpha is a lot more frugal than my old nexus by far, but the extra life would be nice

Hi, my battery drain before was cased by 2 "wakelocks". Before all this I had no idea what a "wakelock" was. The 2 that I had were actually caused by Google. Essentially, google play store and google services were stuck in an "on" cycle and just killing my battery really fast. It was like a percent every minute. As it turns out, "wake locks" are not uncommon.
I installed G Service Fix. It's a free app. I think there are several similar apps, but I used this one. All I can say is that the difference was immediate. Before doing the fix, the phone wouldn't even last a full work day. I was pissed. I felt I had to get the bigger battery. However, after the fix, it easily lasted over a 24-hour period. I really didn't need the bigger battery, but I had already ordered it from the UK. And, I knew that it would add a touch more weight to the phone, which I wanted.

Does this need to root for the app to work?
Can anyone post a measurement of the thickness after installing the new battery? How much thicker does the phone get?
Thanks!
is it ok to use the extended battery without the backcover and just put the spigen case on it?
Interesting question. I haven't tried it but it might work fine. I would think the extended battery is thick enough to fit snuggly up against the Spigen case.

I too have this and also bought from the same seller. This extended OEM battery is truly amazing; Samsung should have just shipped the phone with it.

After you test its impossible to return to the old battery

So no one who owns a G5 has at least tried one of these supposed bigger batteries??
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3700mAh-Hig...763115?hash=item41ad621f2b:g:QeEAAOSwM4xXYSB0
Would be interesting to see what kind of performance this battery really gives.....
Would be a little nervous to try it because I played full price for mine. Hopefully someone will try it and respond.

i tried a 3200mah chinese battery and it gave about 1hr sot plus than original one which was used (and abused) for about 4 months.. so maybe they just have similar capacities

There are some pretty decent receptions of the brand, and then a couple not so decent, but in general it looks more positive than negative and so far no catastrophic failures to note.

It may tickle you a bit wrong to know Best4Power no longer sells anything on Amazon. But I hope someone steps up to be our Guinea pig - there will be much thanks for the brave soul first to take the plunge and post their findings here.
I've got one similar to this, I ordered from Amazon, well actually a site called Amazon review trader where I got a promotion code for the battery. It's a 3500mAh battery by the description, yet the same physical size as the original. What I can say about it is any time you reboot the phone and the battery is at 100% you are greeted with an invalid battery warning and the phone powers down. The only way to get it to remain on its trying to reboot it a few times and once it uses a couple percentages of the battery it's fine. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new one but it also does the same so not sure.
The battery appears identical in size, feel and shape to the original one, just wrapped differently. The first day of use I ended with over 4hrs screen time but I was in an area with little to no signal, the next day I was home most the day and got 6 and a half hours screen time. I literally ran the phone till it was at 2% then powered down and replaced the battery. I use the phone for browsing, emails, text and phone calls, location is generally set to wireless network etc.
The question on if I would buy another..I don't think so, reason being is the invalid battery warning message, batteries are just not something to play with, the actual battery tho outside of the rebooting issue stated does work fine and seems to last a bit longer when compared to the stock one.
