Want to confirm that Extended Battery is Legit [CDMA]

This has been covered for the GSM version, but I have yet to see someone confirm that this battery is legit AND has NFC. From the pics I can BARELY make out the label, but that doesn't mean it actually applies to that listing. Anyone?
Ebay:
Verizon-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i515-Oem-Extended-Battery-Door
And so since i have not enough posts, i cant link directly. Can someone search that exact term above and post the link....I've been lurking forever, they should log your view time too....
Or even better, does the one Verizon sells have NFC working? I actually have no idea...

The Verizon version has working NFC on the extended battery. I use it and it works great. They are still half off too at $24.99.
P.M. me if you want one, I can order it for you from my store...

NO. You need a battery for i9250. Not i515.

What us the proper way to condition the extended battery

Got a seido 3800 I only get like 12 hours out of it was expecting ALOT more what are other people getting my gn is stock unrooted.

Give it a couple of charge cycles before reserving judgement. How long did you get with stock battery? Maybe app related? Is your phone actually entering deep sleep? Modded roms are often much better when it comes to battery.

there is no such thing as conditioning a lithium ion battery. there is no memory effect, nor any real calibration, nor does wiping battery stats do anything as most users think there is.

Free Extended Battery for Sprint users.

I assume they will check your account to see if you have it
but free 2100mah battery is always welcome

I wonder if it'll have Sprint or Google on that cover....
Either way its in my Calendar !

Thanks man

A while ago (In March maybe) Verizon was selling the GNexus with the extended battery. Don't know if this is still the case, but lucky enough to have gotten one when it was on sale half off.

I was under the impression that the Sprint version came with the 1850mAh, just like the Verizon version.

From verizon website:
"
Have an extra battery ready for your Galaxy Nexus™ by Samsung if your charger isn't handy or if your battery is drained. This battery is 1850 mAh with NFC. Actual usage time will vary based on user settings, feature use and network.
(Part#: SAMI515BAT)

I assure you (as a Verizon customer) that it comes with an 1850mAh battery stock.

Awesome

so how exactly do we take advantage of this?

Sprint free extended battery question.

Is the extended battery offer shown on Sprint's website only online, or are there other ways to get it? I want to go in store to buy my Nexus, but I want the battery. I don't have to get it immediately with the phone, but I still want it. If there's any other ways so that I can get the phone, that would be great.
Also, to anyone who's gotten it, how's batter life on it compared to stock battery life?

Galaxy Nexus? Yes no maybe?

I am currently on my 2nd rezound and will recieve my third tomorrow. If it does the same thing the first two did then I have to decide on an alternate phone. They listed the nexus as one of the options. I've done my share of research but wanted some real life opinions of every day users. How is the reception on the nexus? What about battery life? The rezound was okay on battery, but the reception was kick @$$. I know u guys are probably biased, but gimme some other reasons to make the jump!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

If reception and battery life are your two most important priorities, then you might want to stay clear of nexus. Battery can be overcome with more batteries. You might not want to do that but you should also consider that nexus still uses early generation lte radio. And from what I've read, Verizon nexus had issues with radio. Many people had to get replacements til they got proper reception. Anyways, the gsm version is better overall, minus the lte. Might want to consider a phone with newer generation lte like the Motorola's though I personally don't want to recommend Motorola ATM because of their lack of regards and support with customers.
...

Well those are somewhat important, but I grew tired of the rooting process with the rezound as well. HTC is awful now when it comes to that. The most I got with my rezound, rooted was around 3.5 hrs screen time. Normal usage I could only get around 2.5
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

summing up others experiences, that is approximately what you will get with the nexus. extra batteries are cheap too. i recommend OEM over anything else,so you should be able to double your battery life easy with an extra $25-35 battery. but yeah, if that is all you were getting with the rezound, sell it immediately and get a nexus.

I can make it an entire day with the nexus. And i haven't had reception issues. I am on sprint though.

I'd recommend getting the Nexus, and if you are on Verizon, the extended battery they offer. Then, I'd get a case (I recommend "Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 TPU Case" These), with a nice screen protector. If you live in an urban area, near the east coast where Verizon has most LTE towers, you should be fine with reception. Plus, you will have Jelly Bean and probably one of the most "replay" (talking about ROMs) value I have ever seen with a phone. It's a great experience.

I get 4 hours or so of screen on time and awesome reception...
this phone is pure win

The reception on this phone has been great for me. Battery isn't anything to brag about though. If you want a good phone to root and flash ROMs with, I would say this is it. The galaxy nexus has a huge community and plenty of good ROMs to try out. And the lack of bloatware is nice too.

I've had my Verizon Galaxy nexus for about three days reception has been fantastic much better than my thunderbolt and the battery has been lasting about 12 -14 hours.
