does anyone want an extended battery??

Hey everyone,
I have the official extended battery and back plate from Verizon that I just got a week ago. I love the battery life on it but I hate how bulky it makes the phone. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a trade (I will give you the extended battery and back if you give me the regular battery). I think it sounds like a really good trade. I just don't want to pay $40 for a regular battery. Like I said the battery works perfectly fine (I get about two days to a charge maybe even three depending on how much the phone is used and I use the phone regularly).

Right here. If you're legit. If you could post pictures of the battery with your name on a piece of paper that would be nice.

Verizon sent me two new extended battery with cover along with the replacement Dinc2 for our fascinates. I bought two Ottobox Defender cases for our new phones so obviously the extended battery ain't gonna work, I took the new extended battery along with the package receipts to my local verizon store and they swapped them out for the regular without any problem.

I would love one. It would be great for college because I need my email constantly and the battery dies all the time.

I love one

Here are pictures of the extended battery and back with my username (so you guys know this isn't some kind of scam).

I'm interested in trading for the extended battery if you still have it.

Galaxy S3 Battery Case

Does anyone know if there are any battery cases available? I emailed power-skin they have some pretty nice ones for the S2
http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1512gs2/samsung-galaxy-s-shg-i777-i9100-i9103.html

I really hope so. I am surprised battery cases aren't that popular.

So far I cannot see why a battery case would even be needed with this phone...

How long have you had it?

I wouldn't like a power skin had them before and there not all the good and the materiel just sucks, I wish they would be a case like the iPhone 4/4s(incipio or mophie juice pack) , is a little more expensive but actually protects the phone too

I am going to get a battery case for the phone but I am currently getting almost 2 days on moderate use. 3hr screen time, 2 hours in calls, but very little navigation...

Has anyone had any luck finding one? Now that I've had the phone for a while and I'm getting 14 hours of heavy use but leaves me in the red by the time I'm off work
edit: Just found some on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2200mAh-Power-Bank-External-Backup-Battery-Case-Cover-For-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/271013494903?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f19a9c077&_uhb=1#ht_3270wt_1163

why would you get a case? just get an extended battery with a new door.
it would be much slimmer and provide better power

Any one hour I've if these yet? Concerned about quality

Agree, I had a powerskin for my Skyrocket and it was garbage... took it back after a few days. Turned out the Nexus extended battery worked for the Skyrocket which has useful. Unfortunatly it doesn't work for the S3.

I'm really wanting a battery with higher mah because no matter what I try my battery is almost dead after a 10 hr day at work.

Yeah but with a case I can use up the power supply and leave it charging without the phone that way I'm not stuck sitting by the charger all day

Yes,Galaxy S3 would be a perfect gadgets with a high capacity back-up battery,esp if this battery also provide protection,keep looking for several day and come across a GS3 battery with power capacity 3000mah,mentioned could last one more time longer than normal GS3,if anyone tried this sorts of battery already.. ?

Hrmm...that looks interesting. Has anyone here tried it yet?
Also, how exactly do those work as far as charging? Do you just leave the phone in it, hook up the charger, and it charges both the phone's battery and the external battery at the same time?

My battery

Quick question...
It hardly holds its charge and often doesn't fully charge overnight when I've woken up in the morning.
If this sounds like a dead battery to people, what I need to know is how do I go about finding a legitimate battery online?
Are the ones on these accessories shops online any good?
Help, please!

You totally helped. And, yes, I was hoping to get an extended battery as well I just can't have it be thick or else it won't fit in my case. I guess anything over 1400maH is fine. I hear the batteries by "Anker" are supposed to be the best? Is that true?

Just wanted to configrm - they are awesome indeed.

I've upgraded mine to a 1650mAh Mugen Power within the last week. It's new and the discharge curve is epic, especially compared to my stock battery that stared to bulge and hold about 8hrs worth of charge. This thing easily lasts me all day, so far. It will happily extend the life of my device as I upgrade to the Nexus 4 in the spring and pass this down to my mother.

I have the Anker 1550ma, but didn't know there was a 1900....does that require a new back battery cover, or is is the same size battery as the 1550?

A 1900 would be awesome. My original battery hardly lasts through a workday anymore.

I just recently shipped the anker battery 1550 mah. From what I see the battery is better than stock battery. I'm just curious, but how much hours are you guys getting with your battery ( from full charge to 2 %)?

1800mah vs. 3800mah battery!!

Just got my 3800mah battery in the mail and I'll be posting stats and screen shots comparing the two. Everyone else feel free to do the same or share your experience with the two.

I can't, can't, can't, for the life of me get with those fat backs! It's just such an eye sore... And this phones so sleek. I'm curious to kno what's the largest (mah) battery you've seen without the aftermarket back?

I thought I was gonna hate the huge back too but had to try it and I gotta say... not that bad.... kinda like it even. I feel less likely to drop it.

Same here, it's like having a dinner slip grip . I think there's a 2100 that fits under the stock back plate
This has been a message from the Blu Kuban broadcast system!

I think its easier to hold with the back and I can get well over 6 hours screen time with the brightness up to about 75%. I got mine last weekend and I'm still amazed how long I use it and I get paranoid about the battery then look at it and its still all the way charged. I got the trexcell and its awesome so far. I'm at 13 hours on my charge right now with 1 hour and 2 minutes on the screen all web browsing and its at 75%.

I'm in that same boat. I have a full comparison to. My girl has a stock battery in hers and my big ole battery lasts three times as long as hers lol

I was just sick of battery being an issue for me on most Roms... And our phones are so slim already a little bulk don't hurt.

Which battery specifically did you get? I'm thinking of getting one myself actually, almost got stuck in the middle of a totally unknown location because my battery was almost dead. Not a fun predicament, I'll say that much.

Lol I usually never complain about any ROM cause I know my extended will still get me through the day any day

The brand on it is qcell. I've had them about 4 months and they are easily as good as the OE battery. Though I believe they are advertised as 1950 as opposed to our 1800. For $20 you can't go wrong.

I have 2 batteries so I get to enjoy my slim and sexy Epic 4G Touch without all the junk in the trunk.
Charge one to 100% then swap it and charge to other to 100% and there's no need to carry a charger with me when I leave the house.
It's not that hard to pop the back off and swap batteries...

Damn I can hardly get 3h with stock battery and 12h on battery.

I have the QCell 4200mah. Got it on Amazon for 22 bucks or something. Easily get around 5 hours of screen time and a whole days use. Adds some bulk, but feels nice. Cases are offered by QCell also.

I have the official extended 3000 from Samsung. The phone is bit thicker but I'm finding I like it more like this and no longer has the tendency to slip from my hand. Getting 3 hour screen time with max brightness and LTE. Stock Kernel but running Wicked v9.1.

I chose to go for the mophie case for battery quality and the fact that all the big battery's don't have cases that cover the screen edge of the gs3. I found mophie only does. If your looking for protection too.

None that I am aware of, I have never owned a gold one but there are posts around both for and against them... some say they are just a 2100 mAh with a new sticker....

I have Seidio's extended battery, along with the case for it. Outrageously expensive, but worth every penny if only because the case has saved my phone from destruction at least 6-8 times when I've dropped it onto hard floors.
It (or my phone) definitely has "moods", though... I've managed to burn through the entire extended battery in as few as 3-4 hours (!!!) a few times. If I don't semi-charge it on my desk at work, it'll usually be down to 15-30% by the time I go home, and dangerously low if it gets another 30-60 minutes of constant use somewhere while eating dinner. I wish somebody besides Seidio made a battery with the compatible dimensions... I wouldn't use a second one often enough to justify throwing down another $70, but I'd love to pick up a second one that's good enough to go for another 3-4 hours.
In case anybody's wondering, my awful battery life is mostly because I use Graffiti, and have to lock the CPU to 100% whenever the screen is on to get acceptable accuracy. It seems like every new generation of Android phones has a worse sample rate than the last, and gets more and more aggressive about trying to slow down the CPU whenever there's a soft keyboard open. (Seriously... my creaky, ancient Sprint Hero OC'ed to 712MHz had a butter-smooth high sample rate, and I could get almost 100% accuracy writing blind with my thumb. My S3 seems to have MAYBE half the sample rate, and Graffiti input when the CPU is allowed to scale down freely and some ***** app is doing realtime Ajax character-by-character queries is almost impossible.
