Hi
I've been hearing that the 1850m battery of the Nexus LTE will be available for sale sometime soon separately (no biggy in the news department, this is obvious).
I was wondering if that battery will be supported and work properly with the HSPA+ version of the Nexus?
If so: Will it be worth investing in this battery to give the phone more battery life? How much more life does a 1850m battery give compared with the standard 1750m battery?
I'd only consider doing it if the battery would fit without increasing the thickness of the device (I'm told it actually won't).
Nope impossible

No. It will not fit in the GSM phone. I went to a Verizon store yesterday and looked at accessories. They had spare batteries in stock. The LTE battery is square and smaller in length than the GSM one's rectangular battery. It won't fit.
No, it won't fit.
Check the accessories forum you will see all the photos showing it won't fit.

100 / 1750 = 5.7% more battery capacity.
If you're going to bother to get an extended, wait for the actual extended batteries to come out with new doors that work properly. Theres word about a ~2050 mAh (i think?) battery coming out with a battery door that fits pretty much flush with the bottom bump and looks really good (P3Droid posted pics on twitter). Id say if you're going to get extended then do something like that.

So a 2050mAh battery without increasing the thickness of the phone? That is impressive! I think I will be buying it as my phone really likes to chew through battery, even on 2G without any apps.

Increase the thickness to what the bottom bump is, which is thicker than the current setup

This is just a noob question, but would a more powerful battery improve the speaker volume (it's very quiet)?
I've read about volume programs/apps like 'volume+' but I've also read that using these apps to boost the phones volume for calls/texts/notifications etc it actually ruins the phones speakers and quality. I've read this just as many times as I've read about the quiet volume thing.
Hopefully the battery can help.
Battery won't help volume, sorry.
Just noting that my Dev Verizon LTE Gnex came with a 1750mAh battery for some reason.
All of the eng LTE devices are rev 8 or earlier hardware. The stock release is rev 9, which has the larger battery.
Fwiw, I just got done at my vzw corporate store and the nexus extended battery was half off!

This is probably what I'll end up doing. Currently I have 2 cells, work Blackberry for long voice calling... and a G2x on Tmobile for data browsing. I'm getting rid of a phone and a line and getting just a SGN on Verizon. I've handled the phone at a Verizon store yesterday and it is pretty thin. I don't mind thickness as much considering I carried 2 phones around for 6 years. Battery life is one of my bigger concerns because the blackberry will go for days (no use aside from a few voice calls). Having a blackberry has bailed me out a few times while out of town.
My battery specs:
- Always running on 2G (selected from the general settings menu).
- Not ever connected to a data plan, only using WiFi for a maximum of 30 minutes on the app store.
- Never using the browser.
- Sending exactly two text messages.
- Not ever making one phone call or receiving one phone call.
- 30 minutes of playing a 2D game.
- Never using the camera or video recording and never viewing photos or video.
Battery lasts exactly 14 hours from a full charge
Is this right or is the Nexus really that bad with its battery?
For reference my brother has a Galaxy S2 running on 2G and does DOUBLE the use I do on my phone. He literally charges his battery once every 7 to 9 days. It is completly stock.

those prolly work but the covers might not
If I left my phone alone, it seems very capable of making it over 24 hours with nothing but text messaging and random phone calls.
It's too bad there's all this Motorola junk on here, the battery manager screen says its suckin' a lot of juice.
Over all, I'm very happy with my battery life. I just ordered a case, once I get it I'm going down to the Verizon store to see if the extended battery will fit. (with the case)
by the way, Google Voice integration on 2.2 is beyond perfect. I hope Verizon never catches on...
I purchased the extended battery from Verizon (1800 mAh) and am very pleased. I listened to podcasts all day (perhaps 6 hours using BeyondPod), had Audible open all day paused on a book, was driving through spotty coverage with antennae likely doing a lot of searching, watched some video and browsed the web, had e-mail retrieving for 3 accounts and ended up with 50%+ battery left at 11 p.m. My day started at 5 a.m.
Coming from an HTC Fuze, this battery life is amazing. As someone who normally works all day away from power, but likes to use a mobile device for entertainment, this thing is perfect. The extended battery from Verizon is worth it, and the slightly bulging door replacement works fine with the current hard cases they're selling.
Does the 1800mah battery work with the stock battery cover?
No.

No - Droid X uses completely different battery.
You can use the droid 2 ext bat with d1, the cover will be bluish. To hide that you can use either the body glove (motdrdpcovbg / mota855covbg) front from D1, back from D2. The red one can also be used in that manner (from vzw). The front from D1, back (with spot for ext batt) from D2

As you all know by now, the Tmobile Galaxy S 4G (Aka Vibrant 4G) is launching tomorrow (Wednesday 23rd) with a 1650mah battery which fits in our vibrants.
Has anyone managed to locate a seller for the batteries yet? Or backplates for that matter?
I was actually thinking that, i am buying a new battery
As soon as the batteries and battery covers start selling I am definitely getting them ASAP
Anyone seeing anything? I keep checking and I can't find any.
The Galaxy S 4G section is now LIVE! http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1065

I really want the Vibrant 4g battery for mine. I just bought a 3000 Mah and it made my phone too bulky
I can confirm the Samsung S 4G battery is the exact same size as a Vibrants. My Vibrant took a spill and to make a long story short it was replaced with a Galaxy S 4G. The phone is almost identical to the Vibrant besides the Front facing camera and 4G. Back Cover is exactly the same, just a different design/color. Button placement and everything else looks identical. I plan on buying the same cover I had before.
I don't quite understand why everyone is so interested. Isn't the difference between a 1500 and 1650mAh battery quite negligible? That's only about a 10% increase in life.
10% can mean 2+ hours for the average user.

Be careful with the battery. I swapped batteries with my gf from her Fascinate to my Vibrant because I was low on power. It was fine until it came time to recharge the phone. Both phones would show a battery symbol crossed suggesting wrong battery. Don't know if the same thing will happen with the 4G battery, even though it's a perfect fit.
10 percent ain't ****. Stop playin yourselves and get an extended battery. The 3000 mah seidio battery is lovely for me. Since I don't wear skinny jeans, I don't worry about a little extra thickness.

battery is irremovable.
I think the best is an external battery like duracell or something similar. I know that having another thing to bring with you sucks, but is better than make your phone bigger than it is. And also with a non-official battery you will lose the NFC connectivity
Did some that already have the 2000mAh (Samsung's official extended battery) notice great difference?
I mean, is it worth the 45-50 euros for an extended 'hour' or 2?
I also have the Duracell battery that I connect to any mobile device, so I am indeed not to sure if I want to buy an extra hour for that price.
Cheers.
I think its a bit laughable to have the extended battery only add 250 mAh. They have to make a battery to bump it up to the high 2000's like 2750 close to 3000. The razr maxx is gonna have 3300? thats almost twice the capacity of the Galaxy Nexus, removable or not. Its a monster of a battery, the type that all of these smart phones should have standard. Its stupid how google maps adds this location bs, and there is so much that phones are able to do now, there is no way that your phone will last a night out in the city if you need to gps a location, use social apps to talk/meet up with friends, and phone calls/texts, the battery game needs improvement.

Although the increase is very minimal I think its worth it.
For people who run out of there stock battery in half a day it would be very foolish to purchase. Might as well get two stock ones.
For people who the stock one usually lasts them all day for very close to it, it is very worth it because now it becomes basically one battery for full day.
I hate when my phones would die about an hour before bed. This little extra will make it the perfect amount.

I went back and added the proper mAh of the batteries. But it doesn't change your snotty remark and the fact that these new phones should come with more efficient batteries.
I hope they make a 3300mAh battery that fits in the stock backing. I mean it was possible with the droid razr maxx, so why not on the galaxy nexus?
We need lithium POLYMER batteries with NFC. It takes up less space.
Hello guys, I would like to tell you my opinion about a battery that I had the chance to try. I'm talking about a battery produced by Mugen for Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with a capacity of 4000 mAh (more than double of normal rate).
Usually I'm used to use the smartphone with many apps in the background (WhatsApp, Dropbox, Beautiful widget and many other) and i often run games, especially in down time of the day. Im also linked to a carrier that has only 3G. Before attempting the battery I used to utilize three batteries so i can change eachother when the current one is downloaded.
With the Mugen's 4000 mAh battery i have found no problems to arrive safely at the end of the day, even when I spend hours playing.
In addition, the cover included in the package greatly improves the grip (im serius!).
I've tried it for 5-6 days but if you want to get more details, statistics and screenshots you can view this video review (in Italian)
You can buy it from www.mugen-power-batteries.com
Does this battery maintain NFC ability? I've seen some extended batteries that don't and some that do.
Thanks.

The Mugen Power 4000 Mah supports NFC. A larger backcover is included.
The back cover has a kick-stand, this is great for watching video's.
The only disadvantage with the new backcover is that you cannot change backcovers too often. This is due to the vurnable "holding pins"
I have my 4000 Mah for about a month now, and it is awesome! The battery lasts 2,5 day's with heavy usage. Now I just have to find a way to cut out the back of my cardock in a proper way to fit the larger backcover.
Sorry for late reply! The battery is NFC compatible, i've tested it with another phone and it works!
It can totally replace the original battery
I'm thinking of buying a bigger battery for my GNex for better battery life.
I found a normal sized one of 2450MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-2450mah-li-ion-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-golden-215299)
and one that is 3800MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-38...e-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-prime-i9250-127595) but heavier, and bigger is size such that it needs a different cover (that comes with it).
What are you guy's thoughts on it? Forget the price, is the extra weight and bulkier phone worth the 3800MAh? Or should I go for 2450MAh? Perhaps I should just stick to the stock battery that came with it? Please give your opinions and reason why.
Cheers
I think you should stick with stock. If you play around a bit you van get a full day out of the battery. That's pretty decent for a smartphone. With the stock battery your phone stays slim and light. If you do want a extended battery I should go with the 2450 mah. Than you have a good balance between battery life and weight. 3800 mah seems too over the top to me.

I guess €13 is cheap spread over 6 months, but there that's not all there is to it right? The 3800 needs a different cover, so no more casing will fit on the phone isn't it? There is the hassle of having to order a battery from overseas every 6 months, and not to forget, the phone will become bulkier, heavier and uglier :/
If the 3800 battery degrades that fast (is this confirmed?), does the 2450 too?

I can only last a day with stock battery with light use (GSM version). Otherwise I also have to charge it 2/3 times a day with heavy use. That's why I'm looking into these batteries.
A noob question. Does "extended battery" always mean you need a different back cover because of it's increased thickness? I know it's the case for the 3800, but also for the 2450???

well the 3800 is thicker than 2450 so it will need a bigger case
I once got 6hrs of screen-on time with a Seidio 3800MaH battery. I kid you not.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
6 hours screen-on from 3800? With what connectivity settings turned on?
I kind of found the answers to my own questions. 2450 needs a new cover too, because it is slightly thicker than the stock battery. Every battery that has a different thickness need a special cover for it.
With different size covers, you need different casing too. While I found nice casings for 3700-3900 type covers, and quite nice casings for 2000-2500 type covers, I've seen almost nothing but complains about the batteries themselves. Not deliveries the promised MAh (from the start) or performance degrading very fast are very common complains. Some even talk of overheating, and ofcourse many don't support NFC (which I don't use).
I can't trust the battery will do what it says it will do anymore :/ I'll stick with the stock OEM battery. I'm now considering buying a power bank/portable battery charger. In a way it also gives me longer battery life - when I want/need it. Plus side is also that others can make use of it too.
Oh, and just for the hell of it. Check out this monster extended battery people: http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Ext...=1-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+nexus+zero+lemon It's the only extended battery I've found so far that I consider buying.

Appearantly not all Nexus batteries are the same? I'm using the GSM Nexus. Tell me if I understand this correctly, but CDMA Nexus is from Verizon, and LTE Nexus is from Sprint, and both are not GSM devices, meaning their battery (LxW dimensions) are not the same? How about these Nexus from T-mobile? Are they GSM?
Meh for me the bulky back of the phone doesn't matter. It's not like you're looking at it all the time.
