[Q] ZAGGsparq 2.0 + sgs2? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

has anyone used the sgs2 and a ZAGGsparq 2.0? my friend got one of those for this ipad and it works great (sometimes) i was wondering if anyone has used the ZAGGsparq 2.0 with this phone.

1- thank you for your reply.
2-what kind of bad experience did you have with it?
I work a lot and i'm always playing music and other apps on my phone so my battery runs out quick, do you you have any recommendations on portable power?

it's a pain in the arse to put the sticker on, zagg is basically a sticker for the lack of better analogy
it's not easy to apply, and if you make a mistake, it takes a lot of work to fix it right
the feel of the rubber like sticker makes it really bad to do things naturally on the screen, if you apply it to the screen as well
now all that was in relation to their skins protection stuff
your Zagg-plug is a whole different level, so you might get lucky and it might actually just works right.
it's just a big chunk of portable battery after all, is hard to go wrong with that

oh i see, I'm mainly looking for some feedback on their portable battery chargers.

there's an existing topic about that already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329494

well that post is about some other type of battery pack.
the zaggs battery pack its actually 6,000 mAh, (they also claim that their device can charge a phone 4 times before you need to recharge the battery pack) and only 45 $ (on ebay), i just want to get some feedback from people that have used, i want to know if it really does what they say it does and if it works well with the sgs2

IMO i find a solar powered ones to be more efficient, as it can do both, solar and plug in to the wall
with the one you are investing on, you can only plug it in to a wall for refill

the Zagg screen protectors for the sg2s actually work very very well
i use one on my phone.. as well as the back cover
EVERY Zagg screen protector ive ever seen put on is riddled with so many bubbles its annoying to even use the phone .... BUT .... Every single bubble disapears on its own ( without massaging the screen with a card or any of that nonsense ) within 3 days. my Zagg screen protector was annoying for the first 3 days but now you cant even tell it is there... it has a very natural smooth feel to it, not rubbery unless you accidently get your nail into it then your nail catches ( but doesnt damage the screen protector )

I have a Zagg Sparq and the GS2, haven't used them together though, I could try. My roommate and I both got Sparq's and his was defective right out of the box. From what I've read this happens A LOT from Zagg. Honestly, I don't like them after that whole experience (it was meh). I'll test it out maybe tonight though when my battery is dead. I'll also be receiving this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K7192G soon and doing a full review for XDA/my site.

the sparqs battery pack is fantastic. I have had one for one year and use it all the time for travels. When I am not using it my son uses daily for his iphone.
$47 on ebay is nice price. I bought at main site when they had a 50% off sale. Great item for me.

While the Zagg Sparq 2.0 worked amazingly well on my iPhone 4 (I got 3 full charges to 100% out of it and atleast 4 hours of runtime for each charge), it's UTTERLY USELESS on the Galaxy S II.
First of all, even though I connected it to the "Optimized" USB port, the SGS2 drained the battery faster than the Zagg could charge it!! I plugged it in at 95% and began using the phone. 3 hours later the phone was down to 60% and the Zagg battery was DEAD (All 4 points depleted). I got another 1.5 hours out of the phone battery.
Just carry a second battery for the SGS2.

meh
Yeah, I would have to second that notion - go with a second battery. I'm using it at we speak, and it doesn't do that great of a job. It might be because my unit is defective, but the sgs2 not only charges slowly but uses up more mah in the process. Good luck getting two charges out of it.
Also, I believe it works best when plugged in to "general" port, as opposed to the optimized one.

just found a supa good deal...

well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=898334029848
Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!
Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

Best Extended Life Battery?

Does anyone have any recommendations to a good extended life battery? I would prefer one that isn't so bulky but I want really good battery life. Battery Life is more important to me but a balance of bulkyness and battery life would be good.

Careful...
I read on a previous battery thread that this company gets poor reults. The other thread posted a site that had testing results for a bunch of battery manufactures.... I would google it.
On the other side it's only $9 bucks so may be worth it even if it ends up being a 2nd battery.
As for external chargers they are all over Ebay for dirt.

yeah that price is very sketchy. the cheap eBay extended batteries have proven to never be even close to the advertised capacity. sometimes they turned out to be even less than the stock batteries. I'd expect the same out of this one seeing as legitimate extended batteries usually range in the $30-50 dollar range.

I read that thread as well but it was for the hero. For whatever some aftermarket batteries perform differently on different platforms. I just ordered a trexcell and can review it later. I hate that reviews only come out after the break in period. No one else does long standing reviews.
I plan on trying the andida one next round if the price goes back down.

Here you go. I purchased one of these for my 3D and 2 for my ET4G. I'm getting 30+ hrs with moderate to heavy usage. Definitely on par with the Seidio but at half the cost. It does add a bump and some weight to the phone but IMO it actually makes the phone feel more solid. It feels cheap with just the stock battery.

Just got two of these, and after 3 days use I'm convinced they're knock offs. I would say they're 1650mAh at best. Not saying Andida makes junk batteries; I doubt these are legit Andidas sold on this site.

Here is a good battery setup i use!
I have had very good luck with this setup...
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Spri..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333305053&sr=1-5
With it being 20.00 you just cant go wrong... 2 BATTERIES, WALL CHARGER and it performs way better than the stock batteries. I charge them from the wall charger and when i install the battery it actualy stays at100% for over 30 minutes of use before i see 99% and 98% just amazing. this pic i posted is from heavy use with the battery. Im ALWAYS on the phone lol. Also I always have my brightness at max!
I have the traxcell extended battery and its worth it. I love that I can still have a case for it
I have tried the extended batteries and have never been impressed. I just ordered the amazon batteries/charger deal suggested by davidstjohn1.
I seldom get through a day without changing my battery at least once. I figure since I paid a premium price for the Galaxy II I may as well enjoy the beauty of the screen. I got rid of the screen protector too and use rain-x on it which works great.
http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Sams..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333320158&sr=1-2
This is cheaper and eliminates the need to switch batteries, and I think it makes the phone a good weight. To each his own tho.
Also whats the point of the rain-x, to reduce finger prints?

There is also a nice TPU cover made to fit the extended profile. I am tempted to get it but then again I have no issues with the stock battery. But I never use 4g.

I also have the tpu cover. The back that comes with it is slippery so the case is a must for me. I had never dropped my phone before I put on the extended battery, then I dropped it twice that week. I ordered the case and have been fine since.
Right now I am at 17% with being on battery for 1d 10h on codename ROM. Sooooo worth it
Now it all comes back to me. I like the Samsung TPU cover and the one I got with my extended battery was a slippery POS. There is also the fatter profile. I like the lighter thinner look (as I wish my meat body was).
Rain-X is THE best solution I have found for fingerprints. Only works on glass though. I tried it on my Gtab first and now use it on my Galaxy S and even my eye glasses. I live in New York City so don't have/need a car but I once treated my windshield before a drive in the rain from LV to LA and didn't have to use the windshield wipers once - the raid just blew off.

I have no doubt that it is not an original Samsung battery but it has been good. I've used it a couple of times but my advice would be the anker battery seems to be better quality but I will do a side by side test when both have been charged and discharged five time. (wasn't sure if you meant the white anker battery or the knock off Samsung lol)

No I live in Canada as you can tell by my information, most of these are located in Hong Kong, and Korea the only one from Canada is the GLASt screen protector ( you could've also noticed that they are all form different sellers )
I noticed you bought 2 screen protector, a SGP glass & Bulletproofbrand. Do you use them both or just SGP one?
the Bulletproof SP looks interesting

I ordered both at the same time and got the GLASt first, so that is the one i currently have on. I received the bulletproof one about three days ago. It seems to be of good quality and maybe just a touch thinner. The only thing I noticed is that the white has a slight shimmer to it, like specks of glitter. The Glasst has been excellent and i have had it on for over two weeks and not a single scratch on.
Since I haven't yet installed the Bulletproof one its hard to recommend one over the other. If you want a nice invisible protector go for the Glasst but if you want something a little funky try the bulletproof. As for installation I can't comment but the Glasst was pretty simple. I have one small bubble that isn't noticeable.
I can post some pics if you would like of both of them. I'm just charging my camera
Some pics would be nice. thank you

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.

1st Extended Battery on the Streets (That I am aware of...)

6400 mAh on Amazon, have not heard of the name before. I am still thinking about ZeroLemon, just putting this out here for those that like a smaller battery (less than 10,000 mAh)

I may bite the bullet and buy it just to do a sort of review for everyone here. Double battery life sounds good. It already makes it through a school day (8am-3pm) and is left on 15% with a lunch top up so this will probably help out in that aspect.

I posted about this battery about a week or so ago in the ZeroLemon thread. Had never heard of these people and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them.

Ah ok, did not think to look in there, thought it was solely focused on ZL. I know no reviews I can find either, but as you can see my search skills are not top notch at times lol. But not sure if 6,400 will scratch my itch, I eat the LG battery up in not time, mainly because I keep the screen at 100% 24/7. Plus, with my Note 4 it worked great and not in mind of trying a new brand.

Ok, if you do buy, please give us your thoughts, as I noted before I am fan of cement brick for my battery, but you never know. If 6,400 does it might go with it.

I bought this:

Phenomenal product. Yes, big and heavy. Stick it in my jacket pocket and even sometimes let my friends use it at the same time as I'm using it because it has 2 usb and 3 micro usb ports.
I'm interested, but what kind of grip does that have? I don't want a slippery back with no option for a case. I'm also not to keen on silver. Wish it was a soft touch, grippy black back.

Buy it. It's on Amazon. Means free returns. You could dress it up with my little pony stickers. Perhaps some rainbows. Anything is possible in the age of stickers
I looked at it. If bought today wouldn't be here till February.

My take away was if you choose standard shipping it would be here by 1 Feb, meaning there are expedited shipping options. Don't think they can Amazon Prime it because coming direct for China.

Thanks for that, however, do have a portable battery I use today, would like to have it all wrapped up into one thing to carry. With the portable coming with me when the wife is on a shoe hunting trip to ensure I can do my mind numbing activities.

Not too sure how much expedited shipping would cost but I can look into it.
I had one of these in my LG G3. Same brand. Really good.

That's some pretty below average battery life you got there. I get through my school day from 6am to 4pm (including bus rides) with 50-65% left. This is with constant snapchat and music usage and occasional videos and games.

im getting about 5-6 hours sot on average. That is with data, wifi, and sync on. I also turn on location only when i need it. My highest was 7 hours with only wifi on.
I'm curious about it but if it's not going to ship until February I had might as well wait for the Zerolemon.

I just ordered the hyperion today i will let you know how it works out. I should get it jan. 20th
I was going to get the zero lemon, but honestly i like the look of this one as its not as bulky and brick like as the zero lemon. I know zero lemon is the know battery of choice, but i will take a chance as i have heard and read good thing about hyperion as well.
