Just out of curiousity what would be a good battery to get mine gets really hot and I wanna buy a new one from someone on eBay or from the accessories section of xda any suggestions on what would give me the best battery life??? Also what does it mean when people say for instance "16 gb SD card class 10" wtf is the difference I got my 8 gig at Walmart lol???
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't"
As for the battery, I have a 1900mah battery from amazon. T comes is a 2 pack with a charger. Love em!
For the SD card, the class is how fast it is. As in how fast you can read and write data off of it. Higher the class, faster the card

It was on Amazon. It came with 2 batteries and a wall charger. I believe it was $30

If money's an issue, you can get cheap aftermarket batteries for around $10 or less on Ebay.
Mine were $11 with free shipping (3 1500mah + charger) but came from Hong Kong, so they took ~3 weeks to get here. Never had an issue with them and I've had them for at least six months, maybe a year. If it's urgent though, you may want to keep shipping times in mind and buy from the US.

I use the stock battery and can pull 2 days on medium usage
16gb - capacity
class 10 - the read/write speeds and performance. The higher the class, the better r/w and performance. so an 8gb class 2 is worse than an 8gb class 6 sd card.
Ok so I have a red 3.7vdc-1500mah battery I say red because its red LOL I found the one in the pic on amazon would that one be better??

That battery worked great for about a day, then it barely was better than the stock battery. I was cheap and decided to get a cheap one, but it was a mistake. Don't waste your money. If you really want an extended battery go for the Seidio 3500, it works wonders.
Only thing is most of the extended-life batteries have a different back-cover (they're fatter) which means just about any phone case out there can't be used with them.
Just a thought: you said you wanted to get a new batery because yours "gets hot," I found that mine gets hot when I have some program running in the back ground, draining battery life. Try using some app killer program to turn off some things...I noticed on mine Facebook was running, and my MSN Messenger App was too. After turing them off the battery leveled out and cooled down. Also, I noticed it got hot when I was in areas of bad service...like it was constantly looking for better service and again was draining my battery. Might want to turn off mobile network during those times...I found that worked to cool it down too. The battery can tun into a little space heater in your pocket sometimes =P
if you're changing and using the phone it will get hot, specially the evo that has the metal stand on the back.

I just got an empire 1800mah slim extended (fits in the stock door) for 25$ with a 2 year warranty at a brick and mortar place called discount battery supply, after the first week the battery life has been great 8 - 10 hrs heavy usage the first week it was off and on as the battery settled in some days it would last all day and others it would die pretty quick but after the 4th or 5th charge it settled in and has been lasting me all day easily

Me and one of my co-workers just got the Quickshippers version from Amazon... Maybe we just got a good batch but they are both working out great! New back covers that come with it fit like OEM too. Got them for $11 shipped... No issues so far...
i bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from this store. with minimal/moderate use, after 12+ hours, it was at about 74%.
finally got mine after more than 2 weeks..but they send me 3500 instead of the 2200 i ordered

All right here is my 3500 experience so far. I bought a 3500 from quickshippers on Amazon for 13.00 battery came in 3 days i placed it in and used it for 4 hrs it went dead i used old battery and wiped battery stats tried to charge 3500 battery in the phone it gave a over heat green and red led. Then i took the sd card out old battery back in and wiped again and re tried charging. it worked. I charged over night with the phone off. Unplugged at 7 am this morning it is now 11:10pm and i have 9% remaining and want to go to bed but battery is still going.
I used the phone normally not a heavy talker. But heavy internet, txt and 100 emails aday using k9, 2 gmail accounts. Today i ran wifi all day 4g for 1 hr or so youtube and a. Small amount of gaming.
For 13 bucks this is awesome. I can't wait until this battery is conditioned...

my evo..i shipped it back today for a replacement. hope i get a better one
i can vouch for the 3500 battery. Bought it and have been using it. I figured the most accurate way to measure the battery life would be to leave it unplugged and just not touch the damn thing since saying i used it for 12 hours with moderate usage is rather subjective....
To my surprise, it discharges at a rate of about 1% an hour if not doing anything on it! On stock, running CM7, it would discharge at a rate of about 5-7% (i did used to have better battery life on the stock battery with netarchy's kernal and myn's rls 5 but i love gingerbread too much and realized i don't need sense [fyi it used to discharge around 3% if phone left on with wifi enabled and not doing anything) My results are better than expected because I did also apply the "lower havs -75mv havs edit" by viper in the development thread.
So in conclusion
3500 battery + savage-zen kernal + CM7 + vipers HAVS edit = awesome battery life
FYI: I did have to charge the battery fully and reboot once it reached a hundred to actually fully charge the battery. When I got it, it charged at a rate of about 5% per minute which I thought was really fast. Once it hit 100% I rebooted, it went down to 87% and slowly charged up to 100% (over 20-25 minutes). Then from there, I got awesome battery life.
I also tried to charge the battery with the phone off at that point and it didn't continue to charge; I also plugged the battery into an external charger at that point and it didnt resume charging either so I figured it reached full capacity.

What is the difference between the batteries in our phone and the 9003 ? Mugen has a 1600 listed for our phones.
Let us know if it fits . Thanks .
Oh sweet man please let me know how it goes. I am either going to do that or get the nice big fat one with the stand
I just bought a generic 3500MAH battery for the Vibrant off Amazon for $15. No regrets so far.
You can get the Momax 1700mah battery for $17 from ioomobile or $19 from ebay. Both with free shipping
I use an original vibrant battery in my i9000 too so the momax will fit the vibrant/i9003.
Please, tell me how are your results. I want to have a battery with more capacity but using the same back case.
Just waiting on its arrival now. I looked into other brands, but kept finding massive amounts of negative reviews, like the Momax battery.
Like from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478270
I actually had the Touch HD version, which worked perfectly fine for me Which was why I had no issue buying it for the i9000. I have been getting around 40 hours from light/minimal usage on the MIUI.us rom. I am getting around 30-35 hours on the standard i9000 and vibrant batteries.
I also bought one of the cheap 3000mah ebay batteries but didn't have any luck with that. I was getting around 45-50 hours but after a few recharges it dropped to less than the original battery.
I firmly believe in "you get what you pay for" however I have to say I have not had any problems with the momax battery so far, touch wood.
Was it delivered? My battery is worse every day even with Bi-Winning v3 with Bullet kernel. It dies too quick! Using WCDMA with HSDPA is the same as seeing my battery % going down realtime.

There are a couple things you can do to stretch battery life without too much compromise.
First, go with a black background. There's a free app on the market that's easy to miss. Do a search for blackwallpaper, all one word. AMOLED screens love darker colors when it comes to battery usage.
Second, get a 2g/3g toggle and switch to 2g when you don't need data and are primarily just texting or playing games.
Pick up the Bali-X kernel. Lots of battery saving goodies in there. Afterward, pick up SetCPU and reduce the voltages as far as you can without getting crashes or "sleep of death" issues.
Now, even when gaming, my battery isn't too stressed, and when I left it off the charger overnight, after 9hrs it had burned through a miserly 4% battery.
Finally, get a retractable usb data/charging cable. Can be had for a penny plus a couple bucks shipping. Retractable means easily pocketable, so whenever it occurs to you, break it out and connect your phone into whatever PS3, TV, Computer, or Laptop is available that has a USB slot.
The battery hasn't arrived yet. Supposedly takes as much as two weeks. I'm waiting with baited breath!
Woohoo! The battery has arrived and is on the charger as I type. Will have photos and whatnot after I've gone through the initial charging and discharging.
What I can say for certain is that the I-9003 battery fits perfectly into a standard Samsung Vibrant. No issues whatsoever.
Thanks, dude, for your info! I would be going to the shop to get one if you review it positively. I think I will have the "Purchase" button under the mouse arrow!

Funny quote from the second review, "These third party batteries come in two flavors – one without an extended back cover and another one with a back cover, which usually adds a couple of inches thickness to the phone."
Could you imagine if it was a couple of INCHES of thickness? It'd be almost as thick as it is wide
Doing a battery drain test now. Had my phone's screen on nonstop for 2hr30min, and the battery is down to 84% (though probably slightly inaccurate still). Will see how it fairs after I've charged and discharged it a few times. No, not from 100% to 0%. From 100% to 20%. Don't want to kill my battery.
Day 2, barely used my phone today, and it's at 84% with 18hrs of time away from the charger. Screen on time of only 16 minutes. The battery is definitely lasting longer, so I think I can safely say that this is a legitimate 1700mah battery. The real test will be how well it works after a few weeks, though I have high hopes.
I've just ordered mine! It won't ship until august, the 8th.
How is it going with your battery? Doest it last noticeably more?

Just lasted over 48hrs on one charge with light use. Mostly texting and some very brief gaming and market updates. Wifi and bluetooth were on the entire time. I'm definitely seeing a noticeable improvement in battery life.

Added link to the battery and website. I feel like the 1700mah is a little conservative on their part. It feels like I'm getting more battery than the rated 200mah difference would allow. Anyway, loving the purchase, and no issues so far. Will keep everyone posted if it suddenly bursts into flames, or bakes me a pie.

I've been having trouble getting my battery to last more than 24 hours. :/
Though the latest releases of CM7 seem to be the problem. I was getting 24 hours easily with other roms..
So this 1700mah battery fits in the vibrant with the original back cover?

Yep! Using the original that came with my Vibrant. Fits perfectly.
It's getting late......after a long day waiting for this 3250 mAh battery to go flat, here is my review for what it is worth.
I have been searching for a month to find a battery that had the capability to last me all day. Not a bulky one! One that would fit within the original case. Not make my phone look pregnant.
I wanted a battery that i could Take off charge at 8am being able to last me all day, with LIGHT to MEDIUM usage (not heavy use!), right up until I went to bed at 10 and put it back on charge.
Is this the one??? (battery photos below)
I sourced this one. It just about fits the phone. I had to peel the battery label off at all 4 corners to get it in. It's fits in fine with standard Samsung back on. No bulge. I put in straight into my phone and charged it up to 100% then took it off charge and restarted the phone.
I'm not expecting amazing results on this first drain as I am more than aware it will take 3 to 4 cycles to gain it's full effectiveness. I am however expecting it to beat my standard battery display time on this first drain as it holda 34% more charge and then improve again after 3 more days use!
My stock Samsung battery lasts normally 4 hours display time with light to medium use. I have google location turned off, brighteness to auto and i am running gingerbread LA6. Full Samsung stock fresh out of the box. No root. No mods at all. And I have all the Samsung crap turned on and registered. I have google email with 2 accounts running. I play the odd game, and text and email like crazy. I used Ebay app heavily and also surf the Web lots. There are widgets on all 7 screens running and I always have a heavy usage live wallpaper running.
Phone finally starting to go flat... I will take screen shots of battery use and upload them. With my finally thoughts and finally 1st battery use screen shots as soon as it goes flat.
And obviously I'll look forward to your valued thoughts and views and make use of your experience as I'm new to this.......hopefully won't be too long!
Bye 4 now

Remember this is not scientific just based on my daily normal use. But I did use my phone near enough full time today to make it go flat to see what it could do.
Again this is the first charge out of the bag. And I am interested to see how it gets on over the next few charges.

I'm actually quite intrigued to hear about this...my boyfriend uses a non branded battery from China for his Galaxy S2 and he's had no problems with it seems. I think he may have got it from ebay too. Combining that with a rechargeable case he never has to worry about recharging his phone. I hope this one works out well.

When I had my SGS2, I bought a 3,500mAh battery from eBay. It lasted longer, but not as long as I expected.
I tested it with a battery analyzer and sure enough, it was 2,413mAh. I bought another two, those only measured out at about 2,100mAh.
Those high mAh ratings you see on ebay batteries are fake.

No fake as in false advertisement! That's not really 3250 or whatever mah. If it was why wouldn't Samsung have made a 3200 or 3500 mah stock size battery? I can get 8 hours and over 5 hours screen on with stock 2500 easy. Usually mine goes all day with 4-8 hours music and 3-5 hours screen and last from 7am to 10pm ... its a scam that battery is maybe 2800 mah if that .....

I have the Mugen Power Battery and i must say it is working well. The extra juice of 300 mAh gives you about 1h more of gaming time ,this means 4 hours instead of 3 hours with standard battery (maximum brightness, no overclocking). With overclocking to 1.5GHZ you will get 3 hours of game time. Battery fits good into the battery slot but it's not as easy to get it in or out of the slot as like the normal one. But thats okay. No problems with the original backcover. You can get one at their official site, just google it. It is safe and you get your package in about 2 weeks normally because it ships from Hong Kong. Or you find a shop which offers Mugen Power Batteries. Remember that the Battery for Xperia X1, Xperia X2 and Xperia X10 share the same battery size.
I have been using mine for a few weeks and I get 5 hours of screen time and like 12 idle(heavy use)
light usage I can't get like 40 hours
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
Sounds like a pretty good upgrade.
Well, my first day with the Mugen 1800. :victory:
Right now seems the battery drains much slower than before but it's somewhat difficult to put in place because it fits tighter than the original one. Even I was feared of breaking something while I was trying to put it inside, lol.
So guys, since Mugen Power is having a Countdown discount this Christmas, can anyone make another comment on their 1800mAh batteries for the Xperia PLAY after months/weeks of using it? I might be getting one in the next few hours and I want to make sure I'm not shelling out dollars for a crap battery. I know Mugen has a good rep but reviews talk better. Please guys, say something, convince me!
It's the best battery I have ever seen, it constantly holds like 20% more than the stock, even after 6 months.
You need to be rooted to modify a few settings btw.
It's expensive but if you got the extra money and need more charge, then absolutely go for it.
I constantly got 5+hours of screen time
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
And by screen time you mean?
I'm thinking of buying because I think the stock battery is already losing its former juice. It already easily drains 8-10% of juice by just fiddling through SMS conversations. Jeez. Additionally, after I full charge the battery and leave it idle for about 30 minutes, the percentage usually just drops to a whopping 74%. That ain't healthy anymore, right?
I've been using genuine MSM.HK batteries before and they are the best I think. So this is basically my first time to buy and use a Mugen battery.
Screen time means the time that the screen is on.
Normally that's just browsing and chatting etc, gaming time is obviously less but still better than stock.
That is a lot of drain though maybe some rogue app is eating your cpu
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
After months of use, i'd say that with 1800mah battery you gain about 20-25 % battery. Not bad, especially for just 24 dollars (i guess less, with these days discount)
If there's one rogue app that keeps running in the background even it was already closed, it would be Camera360. The app is awesome I think especially with the Magic Skin that I rarely see in a camera app so I basically cannot give up the app at the moment.
Now I'm thinking twice. 20-25% more battery cap at $30? I can't really decide because I could easily get a same (or even better) quality genuine MSM.HK battery at stock mAh for a measly $6 at a local battery shop that I can get to in under 30 minutes. Jeez, I'm confused.
PS, it appears $31.95 for me, minus 7% holiday discount so that would be $29.71.

I spent 25.44$ months ago (actually it was $ 27.36 but i got 5% discount for "i like it" their facebook page or somethning like that
For some heavy use the Mugen gives you more confidence with its adittional 20%. I love don't be worried about if my battery will last until I arrive home.
If you usually don't have problems with the stock battery capacity then go for a normal, cheaper replace.
I've heard good reviews for mugen batteries but personally I wouldn't spend that much for a small upgrade.
Yeah @LordBattleBeard, I've thought of that, too.
I actually bought yesterday a genuine MSM.HK BST-41 1500mAh for my Xperia PLAY and I'd say at same mAh, it outperforms my stock battery. No more questionable drains, temps stay constantly at 25 degrees Celsius even while gaming, and playing for 1.5 to 2 hours now only slashes about 15% of juice. I say I just made myself a good deal.
Thanks anyway, everyone, for your insights on the Mugen 1800mAh.

In the same kind of boat and stuck between the two. Was going to get the BST-41 but was worried by one massive thing, my current battery, not sure about everybody elses, is a Li-ion battery and the BST-41 is a Li-Polymer. Should I be worried or should I just take the plunge?
I think it's just fine. Most handhelds today use Li-Ion alongside Li-Po, and vice versa. I honestly didn't even know that BST-41 was Li-Po until you posted it and I actually had to look at my Play's original battery to confirm.
As for their difference, here are good posts to read:

Thanks!
Decided to take the plunge, can't go wrong with and item that costs £3.33!
bestbuy is selling their mophie juice packs for $60! thats $39.99 cheaper than getting it at mophie. The thing is, its only the white ones that they are selling cheap. Maybe no one likes white. But I bought it and it is perfect. here is the link. hit thanks if you like it.

That is a fair price for this type of case/battery
i know, but the price for mophie pack is really expensive.
Ummm....why the hell would anyone buy something like this? Whats the point of having a removable battery?

Why wouldn't you want this. Double your battery life and a case as well. Perfect for trips, just went to NYC from Boston on a bus and this was a lifesaver. 3.5 hour ride each way and full day in the city and had 30% battery left when I got home. Used GPS internet and listened to my Bluetooth headphone each way. If I didn't have this I would have had a dead battery by noon. Love this pack

this is an awesome idea. i with they had it for more phone models
For 60 bucks you can probably get 10 chinese batteries off of ebay. Besides that....it makes the phone huge! Ill keep mt extra battery packs and external charger......now if I was using a crapple with no external battery...then yeah....this would be great!

I actually just got the mophie today. It adds bulk but almost no height, just thickness and the phone is still very light. The best part is I don't need to turn my phone off then replace a battery or carry a pocket full of batteries on a trip

your math doesn't add up. you say you would have had a dead battery by noon.. that would mean you used 2100Mah in, let's assume you uplugged it at 6 am, 6 hours. and then this pack which is only 2300Mah gave you another.. 9-10 hours, plus you had 30% left? your stock battery must be shot.
now, riddle me this: what is the benefit of paying $69 for an extra battery, vs paying 25 dollars for a hyperion 4200 Mah battery, like I did? with an extended battery your phone is smaller than adding the pack, and it is cheaper. plus it is more efficient to use one large battery, than to try to charge one battery from another.
not being a hater... just answer your question. That is why I don't want this: I don't want to pay more for less.

It doubles as a case. Your phone is still exposed, unless you put another case on it, which makes it practically a brick. This does both, but is the size of your extended battery (minus the case).
At any rate, contrary to what you may think, this forum doesn't exist to convince or sell you items. No one really needs to justify themselves to you, and no one is trying to convince you to purchase anything.
Just bought this at best buy yesterday for $59. Had no clue they cost $99 cause they had no sale price or anything on the shelf but after I bought it I looked online and saw it was advertised for $40 off After using it for a day and a half I probably would have paid the $99 if I knew it was this badass. The look and feel of it is just awesome and it makes the phone very comfortable to hold. Yes it doubles the thickness of the phone and ads a little more weight but having the ability to recharge my phone at the flick of a switch is awesome for a heavy user like me. Ive only charged the case one full charge last night and ran my phone down to 4% today then turned the case on and it charged the phone back up to 83% before it was drained but I also used the phone for about an 45 minutes while it was charging back up. All I can say is this is one sick ass case.
Just looked for the juice pack for that price and the best buy app still says $99. Did you buy it open item?
S3 on the Now Network
Same here...I just went to Bestbuy and bought one it cams to $105. Do you have a link to this info ?
Fired Up From My Uscellular Galaxy S3 and Sent From Planet 4G LTE
I ordered one online about 10 days ago and picked it up at the store. When I bought it the white Mophie was $59 on the web site while the black was $99. The website now shows them both at $99 so it looks like that deal is over.
For what it's worth, I didn't care for the extra length it added under the bottom of the phone or the hard feel of the case, so I returned it. I like the concept but it just didn't work for me. I bought an extra Hyperion standard battery and a dock with a slot to charge an extra battery as well as the phone. I'm running the Hyperion 2200 mah as the main and it lasts all day.
The sale at best buy where I bought mine ended on the 3rd, also I'm in Canada whether that makes a difference or not
