Hi. I am looking for a Vibrant battery door. I actually need several of these because I have a cellular repair shop and often times the battery doors are scratched up when people bring their phones in to trade them in and it would be nice to have new or like new battery doors since the battery door is essentially half the body of the phone. Is anyone willing to sell me their extra battery door that came with their Vibrant or know of where I can purchase one online? I see that Bell is selling them, but I'm not in Canada so they won't let me purchase. I also checked eBay, but all I could find are some for the i9000, which I'm not sure will fit. Anyone that can help me out? I would appreciate it. Thanks!
The i9000 battery cover should work just fine, according to things I've read here. Happy trails.
Looks like samsung has 1800 mAh battery for the new Epic touch 4G. Looks very similar to Galaxy S series battery. It will be great if it fits vibrant!
Look at 1:50 into the below video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bORdFDO8318&feature=BFa&list=WL068AB326C5F0012A&lf=BFp
In short: No.
Don't quote me but it might be slightly taller, it's hard to tell from the video though.
Some guy that works for sprint tried to claim yes it 100% will in another thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16581557&postcount=10
But I don't really believe him.
If its like the international SGS2 battery then as posted, its too tall.
Someone go to a sprint store when those hit and try one. Just ask for a device, debox and try the battery haha.
Two things I noticed since I posted....the connectors on the battery are on right side for epic touch and left side for vibrant? And epic touch being 4.5 inch screen phone it is possible that battery is bigger albeit same shape :-(
Keep following the link I posted, now its looking like the guy may be right. Its not confirmed yet.

Thanks for pointing me to that thread. One thing for sure the epic touch 4G battery is different from other galaxy s2 variants as it is seen in the video I posted. They guy may be even right it physically fits into old epic (that means vibrant too). But I have to see if the connectors on the right versus left is a deal braker.
Okay, looking at the video the battery goes into the new phone with the side with mAh printed inwards. In vibrant that side is outwards! So this could mean position of the connectors is not an issue I am still hopeful.
Can someone check it in a store already?

I just checked at a sprint store and the battery will fit our vibrant! It is the same size and shape as our normal batteries. I didn't power the phone cause it was packaged but the size will fit and it is indeed an 1800mah.

EDIT: On second thought, I didn't ask the rep if I can buy one and the Sprint website doesn't appear to sell them as of yet. Anyone know of any good sources to get these batteries?
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
From epic 4g forum. But someone is reporting that some filing is required to fit the battery. Can you confirm it fits vibrant without filing?
Actually I read that forum and ppl seem to now agree they work perfect. I also saw that site but it ships the 26th of next month? That's stupid late lol.

So in the sprint store where you tried, it was a spare battery for sale or they took it off a phone?
I would guess it will take some time for spares and accessories to be available after phone is launched. Oct end looks reasonable in my opinion. We never managed to find a spare 1650 mah from Vibrant 4G even today!!
They took it off a new phone they unboxed. So yeah, who can find one online that is sold now should speak up. Preferably under $40.
The October 26th shipping is way in the future as of now.

Seems a little weird they're the only place to be offering this, and at a good discount with free shipping? I'm skeptical, but this sure would be nice if its real! Anyone ever ordered from mobilecityonline before?
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
So is it confirmed that the 1800mAH battery will fit AND work properly in the vibrant?
Is mobilecityonline selling legit 1800mAH batteries for the Epic 4G Touch or is it going to be more like a knockoff 1500 mAH or less like buying from overseas?
There are more than one person in the epic 4g forums saying the battery fits epic 4g and so most probably vibrant. vice versa is hard fit it seems. I am sure if you give 1 month or so from now, these will appear in sprint stores. ATT version has different battery, looks similar to international galaxy s2.

Ok, Fit...check, but what about the usability? This is kind of an old thread so I don't know if the problem has been fixed or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976347
I just don't want the battery to be a single use item.
So, anyone know where I can get the official battery, preferably one that comes with the battery charger? Regular and extended applies to the question.
Bumping this to see if anyone has any updated information on it.
alot of the galaxy nexus batteries on ebay seem to originate in Hong Kong. since I will be going there next week, i'll be on a lookout for both official as well as non official batteries
(i feel like the difference between the official and nonofficial batteries is just the Samsung logo slapped on. I feel that the all the cases and batteries on ebay all originated from the same factory as casemate cases and other batteries etc etc.)

Don't forget that the battery needs to have an NFC antenna for NFC/Beam to work as well.
Found some good news, or what seems to be good news. I have found the official(seller claims) extended battery for sale on ebay, here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120831437025#ht_3470wt_905
Now, before we all get excited, I am not sure of this comes with the extended battery cover. Currently inquiring the seller about it and awaiting for some good news.

It would be great if that were real I want one!
Well, I would assume they would be? I mean, chances are pretty high anyway because the seller is from Korea and from what I know, only the Korean market has the extended battery for the GN. I'm just hoping that they come with the back cover so I don't have to hunt for one.

You have a good point but I'm a little hesitant since its around 40 dollars for a battery :/

Update, just got the response, no cover included and they just updated their listing with:
**The Extended Battery Cover is NOT Included.**
For those who are desperate enough, they can try duct tape? lol
does anyone now how much thicker this battery is?
since the back cover is pretty flexible, i think it can work if its less then 2mm.
i really need another battery since the 1750mah battery just gets me to home and work, and i need to recharge it sometimes @ home before going out again.
BUMP!!!
I NEED a extended battery for this GSM Nexus !!
Well I knew they would pop up soon! and also was thinking maybe you could use the original back cover too, since the sensation had an extended battery and you could squeeze it in with the regular back cover! I will keep searching!
Would be great if a korean could test it, try to fit the extended battery with the standard back cover.
I messaged a user on here that said they were from Korea. He said he'd look into it if there is somewhere that we can order the battery and cover. He mentioned that the cover for the battery just fills in the bump at the bottom of the phone so that it is more flush on the back.
He also mentioned that probably there aren't a lot of places to order(or at all) since the phones there come with the battery already.
Extended battery does not fit when used with the regular back. Pictures soon, currently at work.
As for availability, definitely give it a month or so. This phone and all related accessories are just flying of the shelves. I can't even find cases here, let alone extra batteries. I also heard from another user that the Galaxy Nexus is sold out in certain cities until 2012, so that's a pretty good indication as to how long it might be.

Anyone think that the GSM extended battery + Verizon back cover could be a winner? Or does the Verizon cover not fit at all on the GSM?
Just taking a stab.

What do you think? if so what would be the expected mah?
I'd love them to, but I doubt it :/ If they do however, I will be pre-ordering it straight away
Agreed just got a Nexus and the battery life is half that of my iPhone. My iPhones screen would be at max and the Nexus at the minimum.
If they release a 2500-ish battery I will get it

I don't think they will. Personally, I was disappointed in their decision to use such a small extended battery. I know allot of people don't want to lose the slimness. Those people should stick to the stock battery. I wish it was close to 3000 mah.
I guess Samsung decided more people would buy the battery based on slimness than would not buy because of mah rating.

Well we got the Seidio extended battery. Not exactly Samsung but I had good experience with their batteries. My only complaint about the battery is the back cover. Not a big fan of the color. Should have made it the color of the phone
Samsung wont make a bigger one. they did same thing for the galaxy S2.
Im waiting for the mugen one. I had that on my SG S2 and it was a beast
I hope Samsung or somebody else does. The siedo is huge and kinda ugly. Personally I would like around 2500mah -3000mah depending on how huge it is. Including NFC would be a huge plus too.
What's the seido?

Doubt it as it'd ruin the lines of the phone. The official 2000mah extended battery fits nicely and the cover just makes the phone feel better in the hand
the mugen will have how much battery?
i dont think they would but it would be very nice to see if they do....

Samsung have already officially released an extended battery for the GNex. It is on Amazon for $33.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...SUUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327052643&sr=8-1
That's the Verizon version, the GSM one can be found on eBay...

How many Extras hours will this give?

All depends on your usage of the phone. It is only an extra 250 mAh, so if you are a heavy user, you may get an hour or two out, medium user a couple of hours and light user a few more!
I find it is easy to carry around a spare cheap eBay battery just in case you need it!
as long as it doesnt look like this:

Novel idea there, although it looks FUGLY!!
I'm not gonna lie. I'm tempted to get the Seidio one since I'm a really heavy user, especially during the night shift with music and such. But idk. I'm thinking about buying an extra extended battery since Verizon still has them for half off or getting the huge Seidio one. I don't use NFC so that doesn't really matter. What do you guys think?
By the way, sorry if I like jacked your thread with this question

Most people are going to tell you use the Samsung because it looks better...personally, looks don't matter to me, so if you feel you need the extra juice the seido is the best option at the moment. The thing keeping me from the seido is NFC and the price. I just went with the samsung. You can buy 2 of them for less than the price of the seido.

Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.

If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.
