Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something
I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.
Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories
Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post
Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?
I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.
i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone
Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6

I am usually on the go and have had problems with my vibrant dying on me. I would like to buy a spare battery and wall charger which are both efficient/quality and affordable. I use my phone extensively when I travel and it acts, almost, as a life line for me. Please advise with information on potential solution.
Thanks.
P.S. This question may have been asked before but can someone provide updated info/links.
Heres the wall charger I use - http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...ccessories&hash=item4aadd9fa50#ht_4889wt_1313
not sure about the battery because i paid a little more for the 1650mah one
this battery comes with a 3 year warranty - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item231427e052#ht_1381wt_1313
I bought an OEM spare battery with charging box on Amazon for about $25 six months ago. Maybe it would be cheaper now?

Awsome 3500 MA Replacement Battery With cover
Hey Brother, I run a Largecar for a living, and I use my phone more than anybody else I know of, including, navigation and as a speedometer!
This battery's worked out really well, and its incredibly priced right!!
The cover works perfect on my T-959 Vibrant even though its advertised for an I9000 which essentially are the same phones!!

Oh and BTW one more thing, when you go to Modding/flashing your phone, don't use this battery, take it out and use the OEM Samsung one, because its lacking some signature or code internally, and I found out the hard way, it wont allow ODIN or CWM to function right!! ODIN fails to pass until I swap to the OEM, and CWM wasn't acting right as well
Hope it works for you, It sure has for me!!
Nobody in the previous post addressed this. Is there a stand-alone charger in the market that can charge the original battery. I bought on on amazon. Turns out it only charges the battery that comes with it. I have 3 Samsung Captivate batteries and I really need a stand-alone charger.
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure Samsung makes one. Or at least I saw it on their site at one time. I'd check there

The one that I bought is made by Samsung, but it only charges the battery that comes with it. Id Does NOT charge the original Samsung battery.
So the question is still open.
I bought this one. The prongs on the. back for the outlet can be flimsy, so I ordered two last time.

I've looked at that one too. Thanks.
this is the one that I use,,it is cheap but it works for me at least,on every battery I have tried it with

Hello everybody.
I want to buy an OEM battery for my device. I live in Israel, i went over eBay, and couldn't decide which battery is a genuine one or not. Can someone please give me a link to a genuine one that ships to Israel?
Thx!
i bought one on eBay and even asked the guy if it was original and he said it was.
when i got it weeks later it seemed legit, only thing i noticed was that it didnt have the same exact font size and didnt have the water damage sticker but i thought it was still good until i started using it.
i noticed it didnt have NFC and it would take forever to charge 100%. even leaving it overnight. also noticed the battery died really quick when reaching 32%. pretty much instant death when it hits passed 32%.
ok, so do you know where I can get a genuine one from eBay/amazaon/any other site that can deliver this to Israel?
up
help, please? hhh

Some of the sellers ship internationally.. Check those out.
I thought it was illegal to ship lithium ion batteries internationally? At least that what I got told when I was talking to batteries for less in the states.
Also I wouldn't expect to get an OEM battery for less then $40 USD

Just order the original extra battery kit. Comes with an original battery plus charging dock. At least you can be sure the battery is original.

get it directly from samsung.
where did you get the phone? from a store? go there.

My battery is completely dead and is swollen to the point where I cant even get back cover on. I was looking to pick one up locally and I live in Chicago and thought it would be pretty easy to find replacement. Its not at all. Even the Sprint stores say they are all out of stock for replacement batteries for the E4T they only have the extended ones for 100bucks. I really dont want to be out of a phone a the few days that it will take to ship. Are there other phone batteries that work in a E4GT that may be more common that someplace like best by will have in store. Thanks
The OG epic....make sure u return that battery to Samsung and make them send you a new one. It may take 3 weeks, but your gonna need that

Just came across same problem in Orlando. 2 sprint stores, 2 batteries plus, 2 radio shacks, and one best buy. Nobody has our battery. Batteries plus could order it for me, and it'd cost $45. I ordered 2, plus an external charger off amazon, paid for overnight shipping, total cost $33. Regular shipping total was $14 I think.

Order on Amazon. I don't know if best buy carriers them in store but the do carry an extended battery and radio Shack has the same one as best buy. Check stock at stores around you. Or take it to your service provider, I think Sprint might switch it out. You can get the one from best buy or Radio Shack for like $25.

Cool, a sprint store gave me a battery even though I was out of warranty. Actually they didnt even see my phone. I pulled out the battery and showed them it was about to explode. She grabbed it took it in the back and brought out a new one. Its a 1500mah but she said to come see her tomorrow and shed give me the 1800. Very nice of her.
Also guys don't forget ATT and T-Mobile have Galaxy S2 in case something like this comes up again. Lots of swollen batteries lately.
Any sgs1/sgs2 battery will fit but sgs1 batteries are only 1500mah instead of 1800. You can find pairs with external chargers for about $25 on Amazon, Hyperion, anker and empire are the best non OEM brands. I'm actually going to sprint tomorrow to get mine replaced if they have any in stock around here, and then once I get a replacement I'm gonna order a pair with charger off of amazon so I have 3 i can rotate to help prevent the bulge reoccurring. Mines not super bulged but once it drops below 40% it will flicker and shut off and when i reboot its dead until I plug in and reboot then it jumps back to 40%+. Its quite annoying

Hi folks,
I am in desperate need of a battery case that I can put the size of the SII battery into. I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Camera which takes the same battery as my Galaxy SII mobile. I've bought a couple of spare batteries as the camera is pretty hungry with power but need a way to safely store the batteries when out and about until needed.
I am contemplating buying a case made for the ipod nano 3rd generation as the batteries as roughly the same size but I would prefer a better solution if anyone has any ideas :good:
what about a wallet case that would work

I have gone for one of these today so just waiting to see if it can hopefully be used for what I am looking for
Cheers for the feedback :good:
i think that is a good choice the back of it seems to be able to store about 2 or 3 batteries
Hope so mate...just waiting on delivery and then time to put it to the test
