Lol,
Turn off gps, bluetooth, wifi,
Turn down screen brightness,
Turn off haptic selection, audiable tones.
Tirn off anamation and 3g data.
When not useing the phone go ahead and power it down.
Turn off vibrate with ringer and enable silent mode.
Is that what you had to do?
Btw i know that from 9MM TO NOW 12MM IS NOT UGLY.
You make me sick. And your hijacking my post
Please do not put me down because my phone is a bit thicker but last double the time it used to. And thats with the above features turn to max

Dont worry about the complainers fnakfhe .
I bought a 3000mah battery with back plate. (My posts on this version are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8135991&postcount=49 )
But its way cheaper than the Mugen one.
I do admit,in the pics its not exactly 'pretty' being fatter but hey,for that cheap price (about AUD $25!) I cant complain. (I coudnt justify spending USD$99 on the Mugen one)
So yeah.I just had to try it out. Anyway,Im still waiting for it to arrive.
(I did contact the seller and he said it was resent on the 14th so Ill have to wait a it more)

I ordered that one too. He refunded me cuz there was some technical difficalties with the battery. Then a week later he emailes me back saying the priblem is now fixed.
So i did order it again.
The idea is to never have to charge my phone but to just charge the batterys useing a desktop battery charger from ebay. It was only eight dollers.
I did not get the second ebay battery and charger yet. Ill keep you posted

LOL!! I love it. I agree with you. What's the point in having a smartphone with all these cool features if you have to turn them off. I personally couldn't afford the mugen one, and because I couldn't find a phone cover for the added thickness (if I purchased the 3000 mah off ebay) I opted for 3 additional OEM batteries with a desk charger.

I have just installed tasker - and it switches these things on and off for me, when I need them - I think thats a good idea save battery and have a small battery.
But, I would consider getting a bigger battery if I needed it to do all my stuff I do in a day.
currently have a lifetron 5200maH battery just in case

Just wondering how long these batteries are lasting you? What's your average usage? Are you guys power users? Are you using it for business & play (ie: browsing, phone calls, gaming.. )?
The stock battery is giving me about 19hrs, give or take, with moderate to heavy display usage (damn word feud and xda apps lol). Using the hybrid rom with brightness set low is the only tweak that I had to shut off. Running a black BG, but have 6 widgets on my desktops.
If your reports are good I might actually look into getting something with higher capacity.

Extended battery, with battery cover, 14.99, but says i9000, will it fit galaxy s
Hey, so here is a battery for the Galaxy S i9000, thought maybe it would fit the vibrant
http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extende...789421?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1ced
edit:
it says won't fit the vibrant if you scroll all the way down
ps, why does it say fits only unlocked i9000, what does being unlocked have anything to do with the physical body?

can you provide the links where you purchased from, how do the batteries work so far, does the cover fit?

I personally have all features maxed out and use it on and off all day at work and my battery life seems just fine, i usually don't have to charge it from about 7am to eh 11pm @ night? fair usage on talk time and possibly taking a few breaks through out the day to play a couple games

the update i posted in my OP is for the 3200mah batt. i got it from:
http://mugenpoweronline.com/product_info.php?products_id=790
the cover for that one is **** quality. nothing like orignal. but i dont care about looks at this point i just need more power.
and i ordered one 3000mah from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390237789421#ht_500wt_674
its still not here yet, i dont know if the case will fit, but if worse comes to worse i will just use the back cover case from the $99 battery and use it with the 3000mah one.
also this is the other one i ordered:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370432210306#ht_1465wt_662

I bought an extended battery for certain occasions where conserving power isn't an option...mainly vacations, etc
a full day of the screen on, looking through itineraries (and line apps), and snapping photos really drains a battery at Disney World, and it's not like you can really recharge.

Got my 3000mah battery for my Galaxy S today.

Case available for vibrant extended battery
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the vibrant with the extended battery.

I am getting one and will let you people know how it works.

Okay since I am still a newbie I cannot post pictures or links...... I understand.
PM me and I will e-mail pics of the extended battery case from moretalktime (e-bay or dot com); on the phone, off the phone, ect.
This is a case, not a cover for extended batteries lets keep that clear.
I am happy to say it is molded well, and fits my phone nicely, since it comes over the edges onto the front about 1/4" it is a little bit of a pain to wrestle the phone into the case but that is fone because I want a snug fit. The cut outs for the buttons are generous and well placed with the buttons centered in the cut outs not off to one side like many cases I have used in the past. The color is a dull flat -black, with only a small recessed company name on the back twords the bottom.
All in all nice work at a nice price, my hats off to the vendor.
I am purchasing an additional case for my little sister (who has the same phone and set up) who is much more of a "casual user" and is currently using a modified Trident Case (Cyclops model) that I cut out the back for her extended battery cover.

Yoobao 3000mAh Battery Review

Just ordered one of these puppies: http://cgi.ebay.com/Yoobao-Samsung-..._Batteries&hash=item1e61362f01#ht_1002wt_1139
Thought I'd give it a short review Anyway, I recently got a cheap vibrant that has a semi-borked cellular radio. I decided to use it strictly as a music player (the Galaxy S's audio chip is among the best)
With the stock battery, ZenDroid 1.3.4 + Bali UV Kernel 1.8.6 + KA7 modem, i was losing about 0.7% per hour idling (all wireless radios disabled). Playing music, it drained closer to 3-4% per hour
I got the battery yesterday and did a full drain + full recharge to condition the battery. It has been on for 13 hours now, with music playing for 4 hours continuously and it is only down to 90%. HUGE improvement!! With additional drain/recharge cycles (seller said it takes around 3 to reach optimal performance), I'm sure it will be even better.
Physically, this battery isn't much heavier than the stock battery. Although the included battery hood sticks out a bit, it fits very comfortably in my hand. When I hold it, my index finger rests on the angled part of the door. For anyone that is worried about the extended battery making the phone alot bulkier, rest assured it doesn't change it too much

Nice I might have to look into one now
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali 1.8.6UV or tigers blood 3.22 UV -75 all around.
depends on how i feel

I have been shopping around for an extended battery and this is half the price of the momax battery. But the momax battery has a stand and a glossy cover, so im still undecided.

So these results were from no wireless and no cellular connections? Were you still receiving background sync data?

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

so this is external battery huh

Not better than stock
I bought this battery from amazon. Am running Project-v and Bali 1.87UV. Was hoping for 2x stock battery life and did a full charge, recalibration, and drained it twice. But this battery does not work better than the stock one. The label said it was a 3500Mah, but Amazon advertized it as 2800. That discrepancy alone tells me to suspect the contents. I honestly doubt there is much more in there than a 1400.
Save your money and get something else.

I looked at several of these extended life batteries and I bought the Momax. Though it is more expensive I have been really happy with it. I can now use my phone for everything (voice, audio, video and data) and not worry about conserving battery to get through the day.
I was down to 45% the other day after using it 18 hours without plugging in and I had it displaying the clock for 4 hours straight while also checking Tweetdeck and answering emails during that time. I had GPS on even though I wasn't using it. I played music for about an hour straight too. Before I couldn't have played the music without almost draining it to that level.
I am completely ok with the extra weight knowing I now can enjoy my phone for the first time. I use it all of the time now. Before I was scared to bring the screen up for too long on days that I could not be near a charger. I like the kickstand on the Momax too. I bought the white one and my only regret is that I think I would have liked the black better. But I may get another one and give the white cover to my wife.

What's the verdict on it so far, OP?

I'd love to hear the verdict as well. Always nice to get extra battery life, but only if its worth the excess bulk.

I almost buy it,btw it's worth ?

Cameron Sino 2500mAh Extended Battery for Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

Hi everyone,
I am currently using an extended battery from Cameron Sino, and below is my review.
Battery Capacity: 2500mAh
Battery & Battery Cover Build:
The battery is indeed thicker, twice the thickness of the original, and probably weighs twice as much as well. The battery size did not cause any problem with the phone's GPS. I can get a lock as quick as I can when using the standard battery. I did not have a problem with the other phone radios as well.
Some may think it makes the phone look and feel like a brick, but for me it really does not look and feel that bad. The battery cover is made of shiny, piano black plastic. It feels sturdy, has a very good feel and fits the phone really well, you will not hear a creak at all. The camera and led light window does collect a bit of dust, but can be cleaned quite easily. Its design does not affect the photo quality, unlike some extended battery covers where photos appear to have grey/blackish corners . The loudspeaker sounds a bit muffled due to the fact that the battery cover has become thicker and has somehow affected the loudspeaker sound though it’s nothing really major, you’d still hear the sound coming from it fine. It has a built-in kick stand, which is very useful when watching videos or movies. The kickstand however, feels a bit flimsy and would probably come off if you accidentally drop the phone. Even if it is kept closed, you will feel that it is a little loose and moves a bit when fiddled . If there’s a weak part of the battery cover design, it is the kickstand.
Battery Life:
The 2500mAh capacity proved to be very good. I am using a custom MIUI Rom. My typical usage involves three email accounts which refresh every hour, a weather widget that refreshes every 3 hours, about an hour of instant messaging , 15-20 text messages, about 30 minutes of calls (on loud speaker), 10-15 photo captures, 2-3 hours of news reading, 20-30 minutes of watching videos on youtube, 10-15 minutes of games, and 1.5-2 hours on facebook. It is always on wifi at work and at home. I normally leave the battery to charge overnight and unplug it at about 6:30AM, by the time I get home from work at about 5:00PM, I usually have between 80-85% of battery juice left. The standard battery would normally be at 35-40%. By the time I go to bed I still have about 50% juice left. I have tried not charging the battery at night and let the battery deplete with my typical usage, it lasted almost 2 days before the battery died. Overall, I am very satisfied and impressed with the performance of this battery, and I can honestly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an extended battery.

which ebay site? sellers do not usually make a mention of the brand, just search for "sony ericsson xperia arc battery", or better yet ask the seller for the battery brand.

I have the same one I guess and I didn't saw an improvement. Well, just bought it for the school trip to Rome, adding extra bulk in everyday use is no option for me. So i don't really care, also was just 15€...

3250 mAh battery review (stock battery size)

It's getting late......after a long day waiting for this 3250 mAh battery to go flat, here is my review for what it is worth.
I have been searching for a month to find a battery that had the capability to last me all day. Not a bulky one! One that would fit within the original case. Not make my phone look pregnant.
I wanted a battery that i could Take off charge at 8am being able to last me all day, with LIGHT to MEDIUM usage (not heavy use!), right up until I went to bed at 10 and put it back on charge.
Is this the one??? (battery photos below)
I sourced this one. It just about fits the phone. I had to peel the battery label off at all 4 corners to get it in. It's fits in fine with standard Samsung back on. No bulge. I put in straight into my phone and charged it up to 100% then took it off charge and restarted the phone.
I'm not expecting amazing results on this first drain as I am more than aware it will take 3 to 4 cycles to gain it's full effectiveness. I am however expecting it to beat my standard battery display time on this first drain as it holda 34% more charge and then improve again after 3 more days use!
My stock Samsung battery lasts normally 4 hours display time with light to medium use. I have google location turned off, brighteness to auto and i am running gingerbread LA6. Full Samsung stock fresh out of the box. No root. No mods at all. And I have all the Samsung crap turned on and registered. I have google email with 2 accounts running. I play the odd game, and text and email like crazy. I used Ebay app heavily and also surf the Web lots. There are widgets on all 7 screens running and I always have a heavy usage live wallpaper running.
Phone finally starting to go flat... I will take screen shots of battery use and upload them. With my finally thoughts and finally 1st battery use screen shots as soon as it goes flat.
And obviously I'll look forward to your valued thoughts and views and make use of your experience as I'm new to this.......hopefully won't be too long!
Bye 4 now
1st day results in.
2nd day results in..
Photos of battery weights...
3Rd day results...

Ok..finally ran out of juice.
Remember this is not scientific just based on my daily normal use. But I did use my phone near enough full time today to make it go flat to see what it could do.
Again this is the first charge out of the bag. And I am interested to see how it gets on over the next few charges.

This has been going on for years on Ebay. Fake batteries & fake memory cards from China. Don't know how they get away with it, but I suppose money talks.

Please keep us updated. 5h 19m is my best display time using the Anker battery.

Try the Anker battery, im seeing about an extra hour of display time over the stock battery.

That's exactly what I've found with this battery on the first cycle today. I'm hoping that will improve over the next few charge cycles.? We will see

I'm actually quite intrigued to hear about this...my boyfriend uses a non branded battery from China for his Galaxy S2 and he's had no problems with it seems. I think he may have got it from ebay too. Combining that with a rechargeable case he never has to worry about recharging his phone. I hope this one works out well.

When I had my SGS2, I bought a 3,500mAh battery from eBay. It lasted longer, but not as long as I expected.
I tested it with a battery analyzer and sure enough, it was 2,413mAh. I bought another two, those only measured out at about 2,100mAh.
Those high mAh ratings you see on ebay batteries are fake.

No fake as in false advertisement! That's not really 3250 or whatever mah. If it was why wouldn't Samsung have made a 3200 or 3500 mah stock size battery? I can get 8 hours and over 5 hours screen on with stock 2500 easy. Usually mine goes all day with 4-8 hours music and 3-5 hours screen and last from 7am to 10pm ... its a scam that battery is maybe 2800 mah if that .....

[Review][4/5] Hyperion 4200 mAh Extended Battery

URL was gonna be here but I cannot post it.. (long time lurker, been around sice my CDMA hero, first thread post)
First review; try not to bash/flame too badly.
I got the extended batttery with a white back plate(comes with battery) from Hyperion.
The product shipped and was delivered on time (in the mailbox; not UPS or door delivery).
The battery comes with a little pamplet that tells you how to effecitvely use the battery by completely charging and discharging the battery several times.
All in all I am very happy with this product. They battery life lasts me approx. 30 hours with reasonable usage (bluetooth media streaming, constant texting, occasional phone calls, and overall playing in general) after 3/4 charge cycles. The back plate is practically seamless and does not look aftermarket.
The ONLY problem I have had with this product is the back plate has a few stress fractures from removing/replacing it so much. there is also a pretty large crack that extends from the charge port upwards. I reoprted this to Hyperion via email seconds after it happened and they replied within five minutes to notify me that my new (and FREE) replacement back was on it's way and that I did not need to send back the old case.
I now realize that if you are particular about how you take it off (slowly peel it off around the edges, in a circle, rather than lifting one end and just pulling up and away) you can preserve the latches.
[EDIT]Now that I've had this battery for awhile I have, unfortunately, stumbled upon a deal-breaker. The thickness of the battery of course means a bigger back plate. Hyperion made the camera, flash, and speaker slots quite deep because of this and as a result; the flash doesn't diffuze quite right, sound is (very mildly) effected, and last but definitely the worst: in the right lighting, the back plate creates a "haze" effect around some pictures.
When I was doing initial research into this bad boy I remember seeing an extended battery that did away with the thickness near the camera, speaker, and light that should preserve the aforementioned features. I hope this saves somebody a few buck and a bit of frusteration![EDIT]

Just a quick question - why are you needing to remove the backplate so much? I'm hoping it's not to charge the phone.
I should be getting my battery and cover today!

Mostly just for soft resets to troubleshoot various problems, especially Wireless Tether for Root Users. Doesn't play nice with CM10 -- M2. lol
Nice, I was so excited to get mine and completely forget about charging throughout the day, it's the best investment I've made!!
I take it you're getting a Hyperion as well?

Awesome! That's good to hear.
Yes, my Hyperion should be here any minute now. Whoo Hoo!

Can you plz tell me that the perfomance of your bettery can be judge by first time usage?. I mean when u first time put that bettery in your cell phone and charge it fully so after that imediatly it give you 30 hourz of time?....because I have read some where that these type of betteries needs to be use fully by 3 or 4 times so the kernel can excersice that bettery and gives you the full bettery perfomance....

With hyperion 4200, it needs to be charged fir 12hrs. For first time. Then afterwards go through 3-5 full cyckes for optimal results. But I can say even on first charge battery life is great. Im about to be on my 3rd. Cycle. I unplugged my phone yesterday at 6a.m.(worked overtime). Havent plugged it back up since. Battery showing over 28hrs. Of moderste use and I still have 70% battery left. No power savings tricks either. Running max power with auto brightness.
Follow instructions for battery for best results. It comes with battery. This battery is performing great for me so far. I highly recommend it. Back vover fits well also.

Well the thickness of the battery itself is no more than 1/4 an inch, maybe more. The thickness of the phone however, with the back plate on, is around about double the original thickness with the stock battery/back plate. I'd put it close to 1/2 an inch.

My ? Is when I first get my battery do I just run it till I get to 5% before I do the charge cycle
And what the proper way to insure I don't kill a cell

About the back cover breaks
Have you considered adding a Seidio back cover only - I hear they're really good. I have ordered but not tried it yet.
Here is a link https://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BVY35SSGS3-BK
Thanks for a good review.
