I purchased an extended battery off eBay and yesterday, my first day using it, I got 13-14 hours on a single charge with very heavy use including wifi tether. But today I unplugged it, and after being at work for 2 hours I was down to 70 percent with little usage. Any ideas of what could cause this? Is there anything special I should do or have done before using it?
Fixed. I passed out on my wife's side of the bed that night, to eventually find out her charger is crap. I guess she wasn't lying about her horrible battery life lately. Haha...

It does add extra width and weight, but IMHO it's worth it. I'll upload a pic if you'd like. It makes it easier to hold on to, also.

Would you mind posting a picture? I'm thinking about picking one up as well.
I'm headed to the Diamondbacks game but I'll take a photo with my wife's phone when we get there. And as for the tpu case, I had one too. It almost fits with just the battery and no back! I was thinking of using a heat gun to soften it and make it conform.

I have a Trident Aegis (great case) on my phone and it looks like if I cut the back out of it to fit the battery, the battery and the back of the case would be just about even. Very tempting...
Just download Juice Defender, It works perfectly on my mytouch 4g and it doesn't take up much space .
I use juice defender also! Great app. And would you happen to have a link to that case?
The Trident case I was talking about? I would post a link but I'm not to 8 posts yet. Just search "Trident Aegis MyTouch 4G". If you want to buy one, grab one off Amazon, they're like $14 there.
I use JuiceDefender as well and it saves a boatload of battery while the phone is idle but while in use, it doesn't (and can't really) do much. I use my phone a ton and right now, the battery just isn't cutting it.
Well, I went ahead and bought one (this one to be exact) and let me tell you, it was worth every cent. After calibration, here's what I've gotten so far:
That's on CyanogenMod 7.1 with the default kernel and the stock radio using Juice Defender Ultimate. I just flashed Miui and I'm hoping to push it even further.
Also, the back cover really isn't bad at all.

Went ahead and bought that. Did you do anything to calibrate it or just as is??
Hopefully without JD it will have just as good battery ...
Also how much screen time and any battery intensive apps running for long durations such as Pandora/Skype for this 1 day 2hour battery life?

1. Put it into the phone
2. Changed it to 100%
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe battery stats
5. Reboot the phone
If it's reading something other than 100% when you reboot it (like mine did), repeat steps 2-5 until you get 100% at boot.
Good luck!
PS: Juice Defender is a great app. Highly recommend it.

Hey guys,
Verizon hooked me up with an extended battery and just thought I would let you all know that yes, it comes with another back that is about 1mm thicker, BUT this battery will fit w/the STOCK cover also!!!
Just thought that might make some folks excited.

It was marked 49.99 or so but they gave it to me free since I settled for a refurb instead of waiting... I figured It still has the warr. as the new if anything happened and having an extra batt. is always nice.
This was through the customer service phone line.
So it definately fits with the stock cover no problem???? Thanks
Anyone know when an external charger will become available? Such a hassle constantly taking out and putting in batteries
do you know if there will be another extended battery that will be larger and require a new cover? the reason i would like to have that is because it would fit nicely under the hump at the top of the phone and make the whole back of the phone appear to be flat. that is kind of what i was hoping for when i found out that verizon was making an extended battery .....

Well, this batt. is made by Moto and is rated 1850 or 1880 Mah. I can't remember, but it fits fine with the stock door.
And you can see difference between this one and the normal??? How long extra the extender give u

There have been reports of screen distortion when attaching the stock cover with this battery. In other words, it's putting a potentially dangerous amount of pressure on the internals of the phone. It sounds like the distortion is only there while putting the cover on. Regardless it sounds rather disconcerting.
Obviously Moto is selling the extended battery with a different cover for a reason. So use the stock one with caution.

Externals are on EBAY with extra batteries already.
Currently i use a two peice snap on hard plastic case from bestbuy for my droid X.. im wondering if the new back door will stop me from using my case, if its only 1mm thicker?
The snap on cases will work fine with the extended battery door.

by the way, enter BAT30 as a promo code and you get 30% off!!
FWIW,
I was using my stock batt. and was going to charge it up before I switched back to the ext. batt.....
I charged the stock full, Powered down, and threw in my ext. batt. that was LOW when I last used it...
when the phone booted up with the ext. batt. it showed it at something like 70%.. WTF?!
So I charged it to FULL, and then took it out and set it in the freezer.... twenty minutes later I threw it back in and it told me it only had 50%!!!!!!!!
So, my point... I believe it might be who of people to try it out and see if they can't squeeze any more time out of their batts....
Good luck, let me know if this helped anyone..

I really am not sure, but my guess is that part of what's going on here is that the battery stats file is "used to" your regular battery and isn't calibrated for your extended battery.
Just a thought.

No that is terrible advice. Charge cycling Li-Ion batteries destroy them, not increase battery life.
@OP: The only thing you need to do is make sure you let the phone charge for 7-8 hours after you put in the battery. After that, no conditioning is required. However, if at a later date you notice your Vibrant is not properly reading the battery (i.e. it goes from 100->90 really quickly, but goes from 90->80 more slowly, etc.), you will need to calibrate the battery to your device by completely draining the battery and charging it. Take note that this charge cycle will not increase battery life -- it will only make your Vibrant read the battery properly.
BTW Would it be possible for you to take picture of how much fatter the battery makes your phone?
Where did you buy this battery from? Looking to get my hands on a good one.

Vibrant BiONYX 3.1/ brama
I got it from ebay and it fits perfect. If you have patience you can order through the seller below. Im in north florida and it took almost 3wks to get to me. Theres also another seller from US but he wants $30 for the exact same battery. He claims that the batteries from china are crap, he is lying. This is the seller he orders them from.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-2800mA...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20b526b7e9
Greatest investment ever. I might be able to take pictures tomorrow. Currently my battery is at 40% and have been running for 1day 3hr 17mins as of this post. And an app im using batteryleft from Eugenes r11 stats time left is 11hrs.
Under battery use through the settings. Displays at 60%, Voice calls at 40%, Cell Stand by is at 20% Phone idle at 5%, and I made a mistake leaving wifi on all day.
Size is really a personal preference. I adds the needed weight to the phone, and makes it extremely easy to hold. The Vibrant with original cover/battery would slip out of my hands when it was naked and the rubberize battery cover solves that.
I use my phone for music in my car and at work through default music app/slacker/pandora and now I can lay my phone on its back and the speaker is not blocked.
Ive had all my friends, coworkers etc look/hold it and they all like the way it feels and that it fits perfectly in your hand. All in all, im someone who is always playing with my phone and now I getting a little more then double the battery life.
My usually day:
20+ 5min phone calls
Playing angry birds throughout the day
20+emails
15-20txt
web surfing/tapatalk/xda app
watch some youtube
listen to music at work/car 3-4hrs
wasnt connected by wifi was on for most of the day
My Main reason for getting the extended battery-3g on ALLDAY
extended battery+r11 great battery life.
pictures, sorry there from my girls iphone4. Bic lighter for size comparison. Most people who consider phones bricks feel like moto razr to me. Not for folks that wear skinny jeans lol. BUt as big as it looks its truly not that bad. I will probably buy an extended battery with every future phone I buy. I was one who always thought ext batteries were ugly but now I am a believer.
If you dont have the patience, this is the same battery but always us sellers have to make a profit. He orders from guy above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130448289815&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.

I haven't tried the 1700 mAh ones, but I do have 3 of the standard size ones that I got off Ebay for a few bucks each. I'd say they probably have 80-90% of the capacity of the stock battery. I think that's pretty good considering the price. If I needed an extra battery, I'd consider trying it out.
Get a standalone battery charger and always keep one in the charger, so that when your battery dies, you can just swap them out. That way you never have to plug your phone in with the micro usb cable and risk breaking the jack.

I bought those for my first mt4g and you are right, the capacity was only about 80 or 90%. I sold them along with my first mt4g.

em2 very interesting find as aware that TB used 1400mAh battery but not same size as our MT4G. Far as stock size battery goes I am aware of the current Mugen Power 1650mAh being better than of that Seidio Innocell 1600mAh. The link you provided is 2x1700mAh for $35 which is still better than current MP1650mAh for $46. Do you have any information regarding the company that built the battery? I don't want to buy 2 as I just need 1 as I don't plan to take off my case to replace it. If you be kind enough to provide some testing for us folks we would be grateful or ill have to go with MP1650mAh as I am not big fan of Innocell.

Well first of all I need detail regarding the battery itself as I want to check the company out. Which would determine the build quality and durability in long run. Far as the test goes stock 1400mAh vs TB 1700mAh I would like for you to first fully discharge it and recharge it so its calibrated. Then have blacklight 100% bright and CPU running highest that you can handle. Have wifi, life wallpaper, widgets on. Then pick a HD video and let it play till your battery runs out to 1% and shuts down. Make sure you record the data along with time for result. When you compare the duration of both B(1700mAh)-A(1400mAh) you will get the time elapsed. I know thats alot to ask but I really do want to put this test and compare it with MugenPower/Seidio Innocell, thanks.

Hey, I realize this is a lot to ask, but I really need some help fixing some things around my house. I have a hole in the drywall in my master bathroom. Could you come to my house in Atlanta, GA and patch it up for me? I'm out of drywall patches, but fortunately, there's a Home Depot that you'll pass on your way here. Also, there is a stain in the carpet in my living room. I've tried and tried for hours to remove it, using everything from the cheap cleaner that I got at the local grocery store all the way up to using pure ammonia, which made me really sick. Do you think you could come over and clean it for me? If not, maybe you could stop in Dalton (it's local, only about 100 miles north of my house) and pick me up some new carpet. Also, by the time you get here, I'll probably be pretty hungry. Think you could stop and pick up some dinner? I like Mexican food. Three beef soft tacos and a plate of cheese nachos would be great! I know that's a lot to ask, but I really do want all this stuff, thanks.

Has anyone ever tried out the Powerskin? I've been looking around for comparison pictures but can't find any
http://power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html
Looks like a nice case/battery combo. I don't want something too bulky though DOH.
I've also been looking into the Galaxy S 4G battery (1650mah), but can't seem to find any for sale. Got any links?
Are there any higher capacity batteries that don't require a new battery door? What about a slightly higher capacity battery that doesn't require a HUGE door?

You can't even imagine how big powerskin makes your phone. The weight alone is ridiculous. When you look at pictures people have taken it doesn't look like that much, but it literally turns your phone into a brick. I used it for 1 day then I through down the stairs into my basement hehe. Also as a side note not only does it drastically add thickness, it also makes your phone about an inch longer rendering your headphone jack useless.

Pic doesn't really speak for anything. From the looks of that your phone had screen on time of about an hour maybe? Our stock battery can do that

Not that good at all. I'm pulling similar numbers with the Nexus extended battery which is a 2100mah and does NOT make the phone fatter at all.
the screen doesnt take that much battery, its the polling of data that is taking energy, i know i stream tune-in radio for about 2 hours everyday (drive to and from work) and ussually if i have a stock battery i'll be down to 84% just to drive to work, by about 4-5pmpm it be almost dead just as i arrive at the house.
I know for a fact if you live in area where reception are bad, this battery will ultimately get me through the day, as if you have the stock battery it will be dead by noonish, polling data is a big deal that's why Juice defender works so well because, it bassiclly put your phone into airplane mode and therefore conserve battery.
o and I dont Dim my screen, or do anything that would hinder the purpose of a smart phone. been using this battery since it came out and it's worth it, I cant imagine having anything less. the size is not a factor at all, even my friend who is into ecstatic (dont know why, its a ****ing phone) he even admit that it's not that big, it might weight a bit more but to me that makes it more firm in my hand.

70 bucks from seido site
Not too impressed. I hit 30 hours with Eugene's CM7 ROM with moderate use on a stock battery. Wish they would come out with something that G2x extended battery on eBay that sold for 10 bucks and would give you like 3 days lol

i guaranteed you either hinder the performance of your smart phone alot to get where it is...
you either
A. dont use data, and use wifi
B. no synching
C. your screen brightness is down to 10%
D. you dont use your phone at all
E. all of the above
there is no way in hell you could get 30 hours on stock battery with "moderate" use...if moderate is define as not touching your phone every 3 hours then yes.
