Better Battery

Their is a bigger better longer lasting battery available for the x8 and at 2600mhz look's like it will improve battery life by atleast a few day's. these are most likely readily available on ebay for around £75-£85 or around $100-$125
these look very good for people on here who have battery trouble's.
Just thought id let you all know about these ! ! !
Much better battery !

any link?

my 1200 mAh battery is discharged in about 35 hours and I think that 2600 mAh would be to keep me at least 70 h

Extremely cheap, buy it, You will not regret guys!
Edit: Main thing, SAME size as the original battery

That one is really ugly
U can make ur battery last longer by a few things..
1. Get Advanced task manager, to kill all the processes
2. Get a new ROM, coz the original one has a LOT of irrelevant stuff running
3. -> possible if u have custom ROM, delete stock apps that u don't need..etc
4. Turn OFF WI-Fi, BT, data transfer and sinc when u don't use it, also get your brightness down to 40%..

i use the same battery but 24 hours max.... like with stock battery. and i also re-calibrate battery few times. i think this is weird :S
@lsalamun what rom do u use?

well, my X8 has the USB PORT broken, so i can't charge it, even connect to the PC, NOTHING, so i bought an universal battery charger, and it takes like three hours to charge :/ .... but my battery now lasts at least one and a half days ... now i'll take my phone to the service, but don't know when and maybe there the srvice will fix the port, but by the way i charge the battery over the night and then i can use it about 2 days, listning music, 3g, wifi, calling(2hours a day) lots of sms etc maybe you can tryit, the charger costs like 10 dollars or less

I Have bought other with 2400mAh and in reality it last's a bit LESS then the original, i use it only as backup.

Made in china ,poor quality . . .Thumbs Down .

No chinese electronics Plz
Better go for the original battery EB504465VU, I even learnt from the forum that the extended battery last shorter than that of the genuine one
But if you got some xtra money you could always experiment and let others know of it.

[Q] Ecell - GOLD 2430MAH BATTERY FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY

Has anyone tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).

This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it

E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!

yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

and what do you mean....is there really an improvement of 830mha to the stock batterie?
I also got an gold ecell batterie for my "old" lg optimus speed.
I think i saw an improvement of the battery (1500 mhA Stock to 2430 mhA from Ecell)....
The improvement was ~15-20 % more power i think.

Nice, and it has an extended cover. I heard I other threads that there wasn't a extended cover. Anyone here tried the e-cell 3600mAh and the cover? Also, is the mAh increase picked up by the phone automatically, or will I have to tweak a build prop?

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

Ebay 3500 mah

Yep, my phone is melted down. Totaly busted. Went red, then melted. Really ****ing awesome.

Got a picture?

That happened to a friend of mine... Have you got pictures?

Lol, well. Let's put it this way, my picture taking device is now debris. I'll try and take a picture with a friends camera.

I only have 2000 mAh and my phone lasts for 2 days with moderate use running on stock is it just an average?

Wow that sucks. Any idea what brand or was it a non-brand item? If you have any details maybe post them so people stay away

wow, This was an original bettery?

Man that sucks, please link to the item and some picture would be nice, so nobody else`s phone suffers the same fate

is it this battery?

Thats why you shouldn't skimp out when it comes to batteries.

the battery you have in that picture is the exact same one ive had in the past, i never experienced any issues other than after approx 75 charges the battery was down to around 75% capacity, i agree with thewizard you get a much better grip with it on. it could just have been a random faulty battery but it definitely sucks that it screwed the phone up. Ive never come across a perfect solution for upgraded batteries, i went from the above mentioned to the gold 2000 mah battery and to be honest was no better than the original but cost me £10 to find out lol

Yeah the OFFICIAL 2000mah battery from Samsung

Either get(or should have gotten) the anker battery or the mugen 3600 battery. When it comes to a £500 device, then spending £10 or £70 is more than suitable.
Have a good day.
PS: Really sorry about your device..

i was so close to buying this batter just now
thanks for the heads up
and im sorry for your loss

Av been using the anker one that comes with the charger so far so good.

iv been using the 3500battery for a few weeks now in some extreme conditions and haven't had any problems.
Im feeling a bit worried now took me a while to save up for my s2.

Never buy these cheap battery's..only buy from mugen seido or anker all others are junk and have much less capacity then advertised

At the moment I have not done any charge.
After the first full charge and discharge I will upload screenshots from battery reports.
At the moment, usage is 15h and 9 minutes (normal usage) and consumed 46%

Extended Battery
The battery seems to be quite bulky. How much did u bought it for?

Ebay 12,99 euro
Yeah it's a bit bulky
I'm using a 3600 battery replacement in my old x10 with feralab rom and the battery usage is 5 days powering off phone at night.

wow that's big..

Yes, but believe me. It's more easier to hold the phone now with one hand.
Sorry, I like more a better battery than design.
At the moment. Battery stays at 3% from two hours ago, using opera mobile with H+.
Needs a little calibration

How much will battery life improve over stock battery?

No. As you can see in pictures, this battery is more bigger than original battery and needs a bigger cover.
But only for the rear cover. The battery fits correctly in his place.

Can you post measurements of the battery? (ie depth of battery and depth of phone with battery inserted).
The only reason I ask is because I ordered a 3600mAh version from ebay (thought it might be a bit slimer, for all it's worth... ;-) ) and the pictures used show some measurements.
See this url for an example:
**** sorry - can't post external links yet - not enough posts... ****
Search for "Galaxy s3 3600mah" in ebay and you'll find a few posts - the user I bought from is called "hightechhk-com"
(h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/3600mAh-Extended-Battery-White-Door-Cover-for-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-S3-III-New-/261045894976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc78c3f40)
From quick observation they look very similar.
Also, how doea the back cover fit? Doubt it's up to the quality of the original (or is it?)
As soon as mine arrives i'll let you know how they perform.
Cheers

Good stuff. Please do a comparison step by step to the original one, as in exactly the same daily use and turn off at night if you do with both. Its interesting, I wouldn't buy it myself but I always wonder if these batteries are not that well made than original.

Now, I can't. I'm testing it now. After first full charge I will post screenshots from battery stats. It's too early to say anything.
Please, be patient. Thank you.
I know that these batteries are made with a lower quality. But i'm sure that these batteries doesn't break your phone (tested in x10). I've heard something about gold batteries, but this battery is not a gold manufactured battery. It's from another manufacturer.

Good stuff. Let us know how you get on
