Hello.
Noob
I want to get a better-lasting battery for my vibrant.
I know that some devices by Samsung have better batteries. The Infuse, for example, have a 1850mAh battery.
Can I get the infuse battery and use it on my Vibrant? Is that possible?
(don't want anything to explode
Also, is there a battery by Samsung (it has to be OEM!) that is even higher than 1850mAh?
Thanks so much!
The best Vibrant battery is the Epic Touch 4G's 1800mah battery. It can be found at MobileCityOnline, or you can do an eBay or Google search for it. There are other, bigger batteries that require an extended battery door, but the non-Samsung batteries promising more than 1500mah are usually lying. The Epic Touch 4G's battery is made by Samsung so you know it's legitimate, and by some stroke of luck it fits in our Vibrants.

Agreed. I bought one and now using CM7. Same battery life, if not a little better, than what I had on my 1500mah battery running Froyo. love it!

By this i conclude that FROYO has a better battery life?
If this is true, it's surprising. I thought that GB and the ROMs that based on it are superior in battery life to Froyo
which is better... the oem 1800 mah or the momax 2700 mah. i don't care about thickness. im just wondering since momax is kind of a generic battery brand
if one is better then the other please send me a reliable link to it.
You can't pack more mah in the battery without physically making it bigger so anything that claims of over 2000 is a lie.
The cake is a lie.

Cerv3r, I didn't get the impression they where claiming the 2700mAh was no larger than the stock battery. I'm guessing its a double size, and since a normal sized battery can pack as much as 1800, a double could easily pack 2700.

Yes, Froyo is better. Froyo has been officially release for the Vibrant where as we are using a port from the i9000 for GB. So things are not perfect. Correct me if I am wrong...and Ive been wrong before...
Head on over to tridentcase.com and pick up the Electra series case for the Samsung Galaxy S 4g (compatible with Samsung Vibrant). Great looking case that makes your phone look awesome, protects it and comes with a 2800 mah battery. Doesn't add that much bulk either because the Vibrant is already super thin. I get a day and a half easy while using my phone under normal conditions with the battery.

With EB625152VA the original Vibrant back cover can't close
For anybody that is reading this thread, I just tried EB625152VA Epic Touch 4G's 1800mAh battery as many people here have suggested. It fits the socket and battery contacts perfectly. However, it is slightly thicker than the original EB575152LA 1650 mAh which prevents the battery cover from closing properly no matter how hard I tried to force it in. There are back covers that can accommodate this battery and even larger, but for what it's worth, I don't think the additional 150 mAh is worth it.
I'm looking on getting a extended battery for my GSM i9250 Galaxy Nexus. I was woundering if the cheap 2300mah battery from China is any good from ebay listing here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...EXUS-PRIME-i9250-/270876519915#ht_6128wt_1052
OR should I go with the more expensive probably the official Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2000mah battery with new back door from Korea, listed here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/12083246205...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_3922wt_802
I want the 2300mah battery cause it sounds more appealing but idk cause that battery is the same size as the factory 1750mah yet its able to give 5x the more battery without enlarging the battery and no back cover. Sounds fake, but idk, What do you guys think?
I personally wouldn't get one unless it supported NFC.

1750 to 2300 in the same form factor?
I bought the LTE extended battery and of course there's a noticeable increase in size, needing the different cover. But is a 550 mAh increase possible in the same size?

Why would a battery influence NFC? Or is the antenna in the battery door or something?

the NFC chip is inside the battery. so the battery has to be official, or at least have NFC chip inside in order for NFC to work.
I wouldn't get the 2350 one, most likely its a cheap knockoff no where near capacity that high. probably lower than the stock battery. Labels are easy to print.

Antenna is in the battery itself.

You are better off buying a stock replacement battery to keep around than to buy cheap any other batteries, no matter the mAH rating advertised.
the extended batteries for the Nexus are bullsh**. normally, an extended battery is at least/close to double the mAh as what the stock is. these 2100 & 2300 batteries are a joke.
just FYI, there are no antenna contacts in the battery door so even if you leave the door off you can still get a signal.
additionally, if you don't mind leaving it off & doing a slight mod, you can get a generic Droid Bionic 4000mAh battery for $12 online and use that instead. the Wh isn't quite as high but it's still 3.7V and will last much longer then even that 2300 one.

If it has more capacity than the stock battery, then its extended. There's no promise of a minimum extra amount of battery over stock to be considered an extended battery. Not sure why you're so up in arms about it. Give it a little time for 3rd parties to make larger extended batteries with fitting battery doors...

There's no way that's actually a 2300mAh battery. Don't buy that lol. If you think the 2000mAh battery is worth it you can go for it, but its only ~14% more capacity, so you can't expect drastic life improvements. As another poster said if you REALLY need extra life you're better off getting another stock battery and a wall charger to swap them.

i realize it's my opinion but it is disappointing considering that 'extended batteries' for practically every other phone out there are nearly double(sometimes even more so). i don't understand why they even bothered making a 2100 'extended' & not just included that as stock with the phone since it goes through battery so quickly. i have my fingers crossed that mugen or seidio will make a worthwhile extended.
Thanks guys, I decided I wont get neither. lol.. I'm pulling 10hr-16hrs on the Nexus anyway. Compare to my previous T-Mo S2 and i9100 S2 I was getting the same battery life. I will upgrade the battery but ill wait for the official Samsung battery when it hits Europe sometime next year.

Us with the GSM version can't buy that Verizon extended battery..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I bought the extended battery for 25 dollars from Verizon and its pretty good, I get 2 days on my nexus with light use, full day with medium to heavy use.
now sure if the stock one was garbage to begin with.
I had a Mugen power batteries 1800mah extended battery for my sensation, thought it was a good battery
A friend of mine bought a 2450mah knock off battery from ebay and offered to Get one for me, I said the same as all of you, no thanks doubt it actually that size and I bet it wont last as long as my 'smaller' Mugen battery. So he bought me one to test.
At least on my sensation, the cheap battery was noticeably better than the Mugen (3 hours better)
So from that, I'm willing to try this knock off, considering I'm in Australia and have literally nothing I can use nfc on anyway

Ordered the 2000 myself. Battery life is already great for me, but you can never have enough juice.
Okay so, my last phone was a Droid X2 and I got a 3500 mah extended battery for it. It was on Android 2.3.5 and Android's battery meter did not correctly read the battery's percentage.
When it got to 1% battery it would simply stay there for a while before it died.
I am wondering if this problem is fixed with the Galaxy Nexus or ICS in general?
I purchased a Seidio 3800mah battery and I'm curious to know if I can rely on it's battery readings.
Thanks in advanced!

I have the official Samsung Extended Battery (2100mAh) and it reads it perfectly. Charges all the way to 100% and then dies at 0% (doesn't hang at 1%).

Thanks for the quick response
I see you said you have the official battery and I'm wondering if there's anybody with a non official battery (if that even makes a difference).
Also I'm wondering about high mah batteries such as the 3800 mah from Seidio or another from Mugen Power.
Thanks
The percentage comes from the chip in the battery, not ICS. So any official battery would output the correct SoC which the driver can read. A cheap battery may or may not depending if that manufacturer setup the chip correctly.
Android 2.3.5 was identical. If it was a 3500 seido they typically give correct charge. If it was a cheaper one then thats why your droidx didnt display properly.
Has to do with the fuel gauge chip, not the OS. Galaxy nexus uses max10740. Nexus one used ds2784. Droidx was totally different too. All depends on that chip.

Yes it was a cheap off-brand battery and that probably explains why it wasn't showing correct percentages.
Thank you!
I was checking to see if i could swap a S3 2100mah battery inside my S2x (1500mah).
-I checked the voltage, seems to be 3.8V Li-Ion for both (says 4.35v also at the bottom, i'm guessing this is fully charged voltage)
-I checked the physical size:
My 1500mah battery : 60mm x 50mm x 4mm
S3 2100mah battery : ??? Some website says 62.5mm x 50.3mm x 5.3mm but i dont know if accurate...
So can someone confirm to me the physical size of a real OEM S3 battery or just plainly say to me if it works or not ?
Thanks guys, and have a good day !
Well bigger battery (mAh) means bigger size. So expect the s3 battery to be bigger than yours to fit in. Although if u search on amazon there are 1 or maybe 2 trustworthy sellers with higher capacity batteries but always watch out fot scams

I wouldn't risk it unless you know someone with an S3 and they'd let you try putting it in your phone. The physical sizes may be the same but things like the positioning of the connectors and latches to hold it in may be slightly different meaning that even though it fits, it may be loose or not actually have good contact points.
If you swap them, please tell me the result. I'm also interested into putting a bigger battery in my phone. Thank you

I bought one of them extended batteries off ebay today then found out when I got home that were upgrading next weekend. Since I'm getting the htc one it was a $12 waste.

When my battery was dying I tried my brother's battery from his galaxy S i9000. It was just 1500mAh (instead of the original 1650), but I can confirm it fits in the glide and works as well.

Galaxy S batteries are 1500ma where the glide's stock battery is 1750ma. Both work fine but of course 1500 is slightly less then 1750 so be advised you may be getting slightly less battery life from it.

Yeah, but will take a long time, because I live in CA, so, I must buy in ebay and then someone will send to me
I bought one of the 2430mAh gold batteries from eBay for $5.60 and I think they're definitely worth the money. Actually just bought another one as a backup for $5.
About the performance: I left it at home for the day, so with very little use (cpu time: ~75% deep sleep, <10% at highest speed) I get more than 26 hours out of it, about 30-50% more than my previous 1800mAh battery. I imagine if you use a Juice Defender like program to turn off your data connection most of the time you might get a result close to this with normal use.

My glide's stock battery is 1650 mA. If I had to use a non glide battery, i will use a SII 4G battery, is a pretty fat, but it fit. It is 1800mA.

I got the two 1960mAh (says "Sporting Persistence" on the label) and an external battery charger for about $20 on ebay more than 6 months ago. Batteries are exactly the same size as the original. Best $20 I spent for the phone single charge last all day during work, not heavy use, making/receiving calls, texts, checking emails, quick Google search.
i9000 Gold Battery on the glide?
Hey,
Has anybody tried one of these?
ebay[.]com/itm/400387942024?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I am thinking of buying a couple of these as the original one doesn't even last 7 - 8 hours. From what i have read here on the forums i9000 batteries fit the captivate glide perfectly..right?
Thanx
Well, i got myself a epic 4g replacement. It does fits perfectly but the battery itself is pretty bad. Battery Monitor widget is approximating 400-600Mah as opposite to 1720Mah of original. But than again for 3$ what can you expect?
Stii awaiting feed-back for some of those gold batteries. So far i heard mixed opinions: wither they're quite good either crap.
Too Fat!
I got a Sporting Persistence 1960 MaH battery but it's thicker than the stock battery and the cover does not fit with it.
UPDATE - I contacted them and they sent a free replacement that's perfectly sized and works well!
