My phone grew a tumor!!! (pics!) - HTC Cavalier

Ok, well here are some pics of the extended battery on the phone LOL! As you can see its not the same color as the phone, its a bit brownish/silver (I think it was meant for the dopod version not the HTC one that I have even though I ordered it stating htc s630).
Looks wise, its kinda ugly but not as bad as I expected, it doesn't feel bad in my pocket, and in my hand actually feels pretty good and more in control while I'm typing etc, makes the phone easier to hold.
The battery is 2250 MAH (ordered it from Amazon for 18 dollars). The juice its providing is AMAZING!!! I've gone all day and its still only at like 90%, was decent use but still really happy about it.
I'm happy camper!!

Really ugly

dont care about how it looks but how it works. I'm looking for one like yours but hvn't found any yet. I tried several Made-in-China thin batt but lasts for half days of normal use. I'm almost hopeless with the C7330 batt. It's waaay to bad, recharge 2 times a day.

Works AMAZING!!! So far so good, lasts all day with very little drain.
I'm gonna put it to a bigger test soon, i just ordered a bluetooth stereo headset which I will be using for a few hours while I work out.
Definitely happy about the purchase.

I purchases this for $16.93 shipped. It ships via USPS from Ohio.

It look uglier in the pics than in real life. It lays flat and fits comfortable in the hand while talking. I whet from charging nightly to every 3rd day.

Amen to that! One of the best investments I've ever made. The battery just DOES NOT run out!

I have the same battery, got it last summer. Other than it being a little bit bulkier (and uglier), the battery works great and the extended battery life was a big save esp. on heavy data/3G days.

Samsung extended battery is here!

Just received it yesterday (got it from Expansys) and as of now I'm pretty satisfied with it!
Consider that I was still unable to fully charge/discharge it so I expect to get even better results in the next few days.
As of now, I disconnected from AC power this morning at around 9.00 and after about 12hrs I still have ~50% whereas I used to get ~20% or less using standard battery.
Increase in thicknes didn't proved to be a big issue by the way.
My suggestion is to get it!
Also ordered from expansys and waiting to get mine in the next couple of days.
Does it still fit into regular cases?
No, it comes with a replacement back cover. It slightly incrase thickness as I said, about 1mm. It basically clears the step on the back. But increased phone life justifies it, IMHO.
Sounds like what they should've done out of the box, this race for thinnest phone is pretty stupid.

nah. to me the normal battery is good enough.
How is this extended battery compared to the 3500 extended battery?
I assume this is the 2000mAh battery that you are talking about? Do you have any photos with the battery attached? I assume the camera is recessed much further in with the new cover or does the cover taper towards the camera?

Momax 2700mah battery

Here are the results after several days of use, it seems to be very good..
It also includes 1.2h of gps use with screen off (endomondo)...
I'm consistantly getting at least 10-12 hours of heavy use with around 5 hours screen time with these babies, so yeah they're all good.
Shame the spider-foot back cases are better built. The Momax supplied ones feel really flimsy.
Also, Tids2k has had overheating problems with the Momax, maybe it's a bad batch as I've had nothing of the sort. Just someting to be aware of.
Would it be too much to ask for some pix of the actual case? Particularly I'm interested on this battery because of the stand included with the case, what has been the experience with the stand.
I'm currently using the Spiderfoot and the performance has been good so far.
Thanks guys
I'll try to make some pictures of the cover, but it is really HORRIBLE, I had the momax battery for the galaxy S, and the cover was fine (althought very bad quality).
This one seems better quality but very bad designed... too bulky!
Thanks I would really appreciate it, is it really that bad? Is the stand not worth it?
It can't be as ugly as the spider foot haha, even though I'm using it I have to say the phone kind of losses its appeal, however, the extra juice is worth it.

Just gotten it from HK.
Not really asthetically nice but functionally, this battery definitely extended by usage by another 40%!
This is more for power users who values usage more than looks
OMG, You made your slim&sexy phone pregnant .
You just couldn't resist it could you?
...that's uuuuugly!
Ya man,
It's Fugly, but at least I won't have to hunt for charger by afternoon
Awesome battery life ..... But it is so ugly >.<"

Mugen Power 3900 mAh battery for t989!

I just checked mugen website and they will have this 3900mAh battery available on 1/20/12. It says battery lasts 2.11 times longer. I am guessing I can OC/performance governor with high brightness setting and use phone moderately/heavily and it will still last all day (maybe not). The case looks pretty decent too.
I emailed them how much thickness it would add and they said about 9mm so the phone will look twice as thicker.
What do you guys think? It's approximately $100 tho.. damn..
$100?!? Lol you can buy THREE OEM batteries and still have a few bucks left for coffee hahahaha...greedy bastards
+1.... I'd rather have my phone last 3x longer than 2.11x longer
Pricey
That sounds awfully pricey.. I recevied my extended life battery from Amazon the other day, it was $13 + shipping.
I can't post the link, but just search for T989 battery on Amazon and you'll find a ton for a whole lot cheaper.

Thanks for letting us know. What about heating issue.....does this battery heats up more than the original? How much time does this one take to charge up full.
It's essentially double the life of the original (1850mAh vs 3500), generally after a days use of mp3s all day and surfing at work, I would usually have had about 35% left with the original, now I'm sitting around 65% at the end of the day without a worry. Charging is quick, I haven't really noticed a huge difference between the extended and the original.
It is definitely heavier, and the phone is a bit thicker with the new battery and case, but I actually like the extra weight and find it makes it feel more solid when holding it.
Heat-wise, it is no difference.

Sorry, but I have to say. It's market price is 12.77... did you not read what you quoted? He said he had a gift card so it came out to about 4. Your point is still valid, but you discredit yourself.
For those who say that Mugenpower batteries are over priced, I beg to differ.
I originally purchased a Seidio 2800mah extended battery for my Nexus One and it's performance, even after proper conditioning, was inferior to the HTC stock battery. I then purchased a Mugenpower 3200mah extended battery which gave me a solid 72 hours of use between charges.
I now have the Mugenpower 3900mah extended battery for my GS2x and after the second full charge, the level is only down to 70% 24 hours after being disconnected from the charger.
All extended batteries are not created equal!

5400mAhr battery review - GNote

I've seen a few posts about spare / replacement batteries for the Galaxy Note. This one is about the Mugen Power 5400mAh Extended Battery (HLI-N7000XL) specifically designed for the Note (N7000 / International model). This is an internal battery, not a plug-in external unit.
To be clear, I'm not a professional reviewer and have no vested interests in Mugen. This is not a scientific review but based on my actual experience. For a more controlled scientific analysis of battery discharge time bv the minute, or whatever, you'll need to look elsewhere. However I believe it's real life experiences which really matter.
I tend to pick up first impressions of a product based on the visual quality of the packaging, case finish, instructions, etc. The Mugen product did not disappoint at this stage. It was simply packaged but effective in protecting the contents and easy to get into. The instructions where easy to read and make it clear that it's necessary to fully charge and discharge the battery for 3 or 4 times before it carries a full charge. This took well over week to achieve due to the long life of the battery between charges!
The Mugen battery is, as you might expect, physically larger and heavier than the stock Samsung Galaxy Note battery. But the increased size offers in excess of a doubling in capacity so with normal use needs much less frequent recharging. Indeed the main points of my comparison are size/weight, longevity, and price/value.
Physical Size and Weight
The thickness of Mugen 5400mAh battery at around 13mm is a fraction over twice that of the standard 2500mAh Samsung Note battery. This means the stock rear cover has to be replaced by a deeper one to accommodate the larger battery. The Mugen battery comes complete with the larger cover, which also incorporates a neat flip-out side stand. This turned out to be a handy addition and one I increasingly found myself using. The replacement case felt to be of at least as good quality as the original and fitted perfectly. The overall thickness of the Note roughly doubled so the overall effect isn't as sexy as the thin original, but in practise I found the Note was easier to hold, particularly when out and about. The Mugen case was also slightly pimpled, similar to the original, which gave a feeling of confidence that it wasn't going to slip out of my hand.
On to the battery itself. The weight of the stock Samsung Note and battery is around 180 grams. The Mugen 5400 and Note weighed in at around 240 grams. This represents an overall 25% increase in weight. In practise the heavier battery slightly changed the weight balance of the Note but after picking up and using the Note a few times I hardly noticed it. It did feel heavier when in my pocket but not uncomfortably so. I also found I could no longer slide the Note into some of my smaller pockets. To quote a great Yorkshire friend of mine: "You get owt for nowt", which in this case basically means if you want a larger capacity battery it'll take up more space and weigh a bit more! (This is almost true because Mugen do also market a slightly larger capacity standard sized battery at the original size.)
Longevity
First, just in case you don't know what mAh means: It stands for milli-Amp hour and basically it's a measure of battery electrical capacity or storage 'size'. Everything else being equal, the bigger the number the longer the electrical power should last. The issue is that for many non manufacturer supplied batteries everything else is not equal. The inequalities range from mislabelling/over ambitious claims (I call it lying), to poor battery design such that it overheats or leaks or just fails sooner than it should (some might call them cr*p batteries). Of course such inferior batteries are usually cheaper to buy!
I tested the stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2500mAh battery with WiFi and GPS permanently enabled and sync set to 30 minutes. I used the Note frequently throughout the day for 2G (voice and text), WiFi and 3G surfing, Facebook, Twitter, newsfeeds, email, diary and the occasional game. The battery was charged overnight using the USB from my Desktop, and so started the day at 100%. By 15:00 it was down to 30%. By 19:00 it was down to 10%.
I then did the same using the Mugen 5400mAh battery. By 15:00 on Day 1 the charge remaining was down to 70%. It reached 40% at 12:00 on Day 2 and 13% by 19:00 on day 2. Wow! This was over a doubling in elapsed time over the standard battery.
Real life experience:
The above test reflects much heavier use than I'd normally make of the Note during a typical weekday, where I'd see the stock battery at around 20% at 23:00 each day. At weekends I usually have to top-up the charge during late afternoon or risk running out.
Using the Note as I would more normally, but with the Mugen 5400mAh battery, I found that I used GPS more (I do a lot of walking and track my route) without worrying about running out of power. I was not having to think about saving power for later use as I knew there was plenty available. I also didn't have to top-up charge during the day at all. The Mugen battery comfortably lasted two days and sometimes three before reaching the 10% to 20% mark.
Price and Value
The RRP for the stock Samsung 2500mAh battery is around £20. This equates to 0.8 pence per mAh.
The RRP for the Mugen 5400mAh battery is £63 ($99) at time of writing. This equates to 1.16 pence per mAh. This price includes the replacement back cover.
So £ per mAh of capacity the Mugen is not a cheaper option, but it's all about usability. For instance you could always buy a second stock battery and manage the charging of two batteries at once, which means you'd also need to invest in a desktop charger at around £15, and be powering off the Note mid afternoon each day to swap out the flat battery. I'd soon get fed up with doing that!
For me and the way I use the Note this is a JDI. Just Do It (buy the 5400mAh Mugen). The few cons are far outweighed by the pros, and on the occasions when I want to show off the Note or make it a little more inconspicuous I can simply pop back in the stock battery and cover. But when I do I'd soon go back to using the 5400!
Details of the Mugen 5400mAh battery can be found on their site at mugen-power-batteries .com
I'll continue to use the battery and come back at some point with my experience of how well it stands up after prolonged use.
I'd love to see some real world pictures of it on your phone if possible. I'd be interested in this for when traveling.
I caved.
Used discount code MUGENRULEZ for 7% off.
On backorder, but I don't need it right away anyways. Will carry it as my backup.
Good review mate Mugen Power is Awesome
post some battery usage pictures
Nicely done. Mine works pretty well, but I miss having a case to occlude the vol/power buttons, otherwise I'll accidentally press things whilst gaming. Apparently there's a couple of generic extended battery cases on ebay, so I'll give them a punt.
I have also bought the same battery, and another thing to take into equation is the excellent customer service of mugen. Fast and efficient

I've found these photos of the Mugan back cover for the 5400mAhr mounted on a Note.

There have been quite a few discussions about how the "official Samsung" eBay batteries are just fakes that are made to look convincingly like Samsung OEM batteries, but aren't.
I always enjoy melting a £400 appliance with a £4 aftermarket battery. I could compare it to using a cheap 350W PSU in a top of the range gaming PC, you're going to see some smoke at some point.

Hi angelofmusic, first of all let me ask you what your address is so that I can give it to my employer, and he can send you the bill, as I have just killed 32min of my working time by watching your review......hehe
Now on a more serious note, I have no prejudice against women, but I was surprised when I click on the link that you have provided and find out you look like a 15 year old girl, which will look great in her 40s
I just hope that you would be living in the UK or even better in Belgium, so that the USA related part would not be as irrelevant to me.
All in all, great review. I find it strange that you did not come up when I was searching for reviews of this device. I thought I was them all, but apparently the day that my G.NOTE arrived from Amazon I saw your video. Well better late than never, and I can't hide that I was very pleased when you said that Amazon was a good choice for buying this device.
Well I better go back to work

Hi angelofmusic, you did not get my joke . In the beginning of the review you talk about your age, and you say that you might look young now but that means that you're going to look great when you'll be in your 40's. I knew that you were 23, as you have said it on youtube. The fact that I said that you look young, was a compliment (maybe not yet, but in 4 to 5 years you'll be jumping of joy inside when someone tells you that you look like a teenager)
As for the review, I liked your stile. I just got my Note today, and I am still trying to figure out what to do with it. The battery is at 46% after the initial setup of my gmail accounts and installation of some important applications like whatsapp
The important questions I have atm is, should I charge or should I wait. Here in Belgium its almost 2:40 so I might just charge it and go to bed. But too difficult to sleep when I just got to unpack my new toy and the neighbour is having a very loud party. Might just be faith telling me to stay up all night and play with my new device.
I will maybe look at the insurance that you got for your device. I have never insured a device before, but with an almost 2 year old running around the house I fear that not even my Otterbox commuter and careful placement of the phone will be enough.

See i REALLY want a case like this but ive heard off branded stuff like this are total crap =/ If someone gets this please let us know how it is because id wish to buy one as well
I just bought the first one and used it today ... met the seller in person, as I live in the Valley. Nice guy ... and he stressed the 3 month return policy.
Fit and finish are excellent. The case really complements the phone (if it is white). Like most external batteries, it generates a lot of heat when charging the phone. On the upside, there is a power switch so you can control when the case actually charges.
I haven't used it enough to determine how much of a recharge you can reliably get when the external battery is fully charged. Based on my limited use, I would bet no more than 50 to 60 percent ... meaning a phone battery at 10% might see 60 to 70% if you fully discharged the external battery.
And more importantly to me, the case itself offers corner protection, which is where I tend to ding my phones.
What are your thoughts after a few days of using this?
What is the intended purpose of this? is it to be used as a spare battery when yours is worn out and you simply switch the power to the external battery, or does this charge your phone while using it?
Thanks
I have a black version of the first one listed, it works awesome.
When I posted that here I got flamed by a bunch of a-holes saying it would run too hot/it might break the USB port etc so I didn't bother bringing it up again.

I got the white version, I don't like it all that much. It makes the phone super bulky and you can not charge your phone using the usb cable without the case being on. When the case is on it gets really hot, but it does charge the phone to 90% from 5%
Well, the 3200Mah battery case I bought from Amazon arrived a day early. Amazon is amazing. I have a Prime membership, so I get free two day shipping on a lot of things, but often things arrive the next day.
Unfortunately, the product itself is a bust.
Let me preface this by saying that my SGS3 is a battery hog. I get nowhere near what others I read online get. If I charge to full, then turn off the screen and don't touch it again, I can get about 10 hours. I've always had bad luck with my phones and battery life.
I charged it all the way up, then slid my fully charged phone into it, ran the phone down to 5% (about 6 hours), then turned the case on.
First, it got hot. I mean hot. Almost too hot to hold, burn your hand hot. To top it off, it charged my phone from 5% to 42% in about 1 hour, and was dead empty.
Some other issues - you can't leave your back cover on while using this case, it won't fit.
Also, the fit isn't great. The phone has side to side wiggle in it. And the case doesn't cover the sides or top of the phone, but creates a ridge all the way around that is really uncomfortable to hold, makes access to the volume rocker and power button really difficult.
The kickstand is cheap, bendy, flimsy plastic, not metal like the picture looks, and has no lock. It swings free, and will only support the phone in landscape.
It's going back to Amazon, based on the fact that it advertises 3200mah, but lasts 1/6th as long as the 2100mah stock battery. There was nothing I liked about this battery case. I'm going back to carrying a spare battery.
