Extended battery fail - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Bought the extended battery from verizon, installed it, charged it and now my battery is dropping about 1% a minute. What the hell?

Those and most extended batteries suggest up to 5 charging cycles before you see better results. Give it some time.

Yeah just wait and let it settle for a week...it's too early to assess results on first full charge..

Find the true mah

I know there was a was to find the true mah of the battery on my nexus one. I was wondering how to fond the mah for the new extended battery I got from eBay. Its supposed to be 3800 mah, but I wanna be sure. I be been on it pretty hard today from a full charge. Its held up pretty good and I've been on it pretty hard. If anyone knows how to check let me know. I'll also leave the link from where I got the battery from only 15 bucks

There is no way to get mAh value due to the fuel gauge samsung used. The n1 used the ds2784 which outputted that info. Our max17040 does not. Nothing we can do.
it is possible but you need a battery analyzer. Chances are the 3800mah you got is closer to 2800mah. check out this site that tested lots of batteries from ebay and some aftetmarket companies. http://batteryboss.org/

Sorry I wasn't clear for you, when I had the nexus one I was able to check true mAh. With my new galaxy nexus I can't.

Like I said anything is better then stock. The stock battery was horrible! The last phone before I got this was my bionic and with the OEM extended 2750 mAh I got 2 days. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular with this 3800 mAh, But again for me anything is better then stock. Almost got rid of the phone based on the stock battery. For 15 bucks I'll take it and keep this phone a little longer. Oh and I had the screen at 100% the whole time.

You should post your screen on time.
15hrs of battery is easily achievable this days with stock battery and correct rom + kernel combo
I even saw one guy manage to get 4hrs screen time on stock battery

I had 4 hours 30 on stock battery (GSM) for some time.
That was with an older AOKP and Franco build (AOKP something in mid 20s, Franco in mid 90s)
Right now I get between 3 hours 30 and 4 hours, depending on the use and where I am (Auto-Brightness).
Mostly E-Mails, texting, Play Store and Browser, with an occasional youtube video inbetween.
Running AOKP B29 and Franco r112
your problem is not the battery, sounds like your phone has a problem going to sleep or you have too many things syncing. with the stock battery i can get over 20 hours of idle and 3 hours of screen time. with the samsung extended battery i can get over 24 hours of idle and 4 hours screen time.

Poor battery life : Samsung extended battery to blame?

I bought an 2000 mah extended battery 5 month ago on ebay from simshop. First 3 month, 5h+ screen on time, 22h battery life and more. Now, 45min to 1:30 screen on time, 5h battery life, all on wifi and my phone closee by itself at 8%. My 1750mah battery can give me a better performance. WTH Samsung ?
Please, dont blame my rom or kernel because im stock 4.1.1 with no facebook-twitter app now.
you gave us no screenshot of the battery stats.
Because i have no screenshots. My screen on time is between 45 min to 1:30. Never more.

i strongly suggest you give us some screenshots or we cant even begin to figure out what is draining the battery. you might just have a bad battery, but we'll never know.
Maybe a defective battery.
I have the 2100mAh for the LTE Nexus and my battery is awesome.

Well, if it's a 3rd party battery from eBay, it really wouldn't surprise me. But please, screenshots and a pic of said battery would be nice.
Well I don't think its a third party as simshop carries the official 2000mah battery for GSM G Nexus straight from Korea. It might be a bad battery as I have read countless of ppl buying from that store.
I am going to be purchasing one from there too soon. Hopefully its just a case of a defective battery.
Does anyone else know where they sell this battery?
But yea screenshots...

Defective battery?

So I ordered a 1800mah battery for the epic. It fit and everything but literally while charging it and on browser on just data, the battery life decreases while on the charger. It also almost died at school today. On my 1500mah, I ended a 7 hour day with about 30-40%. On the 1800mah, I got down to 20 and below. If kind of makes me mad that I bought a bigger battery and out sucks. And what is a good 1800mah battery for the epic?

The battery from the Epic 4G Touch is your best bet. And as for it dying on the charger, it's the charger, not the phone or battery. I know this because it's happened to me. Try a different charger

Yes I ordered the Samsung epic 4g touch battery. And sadly it isn't my charger because I am using the same charger on my 1500mah battery and its charging fine.

Not always the charger.... When I'm on 4G and trying to use Google Maps even plugged in I drain my battery. If I shut GMaps down, it starts charging as per normal.
It was really frustrating when I first got the phone, as I was in the process of moving to Denver and knew where nothing was. Now, at least, I know the area well enough to just have it on at the start or end of trip.
The Anker samsung battery (search amazon for it .. ~$10 and 1800mah) has shown good results for me.

And if I do actually have a defective battery, I will try it. And does it actually give you more battery life and if so, how much?

it is normal for the phone to consume more power than the charging pack can output....... you might not of had this problem because the 1500ma battery uses less energy than a 1800mah battery(hence the extra life..) if you charge with a USB 1A charger it should charge the new battery better. also, turn of 3g and watch your battery charge about 2times faster than with it on.

Anker
And yes it does perform better. I have 2 1800 mAh Anker batteries and there amazing I got a deal for 2x 1800mAh batteries and the charger from Anker. For 20$ on amazon don't listen to reviews they said the charger is bad but mine has performed well for several months and still is. I. Had gotten 4 days before on CM9 with minimal use and on regular basis I get 12 to 18 Hrs with 3 Hrs of screen on time

This is the one I ordered -- getting about 20 hrs of battery life vs. 12 hrs on my stock (2 year old) battery. Non-OEM batteries are typically a hit or miss, but amazon's return policy is dead simple and free, so IMO worth a shot.

No problem, any other battery that isn't by Samsung would generally be non OEM

Galaxy Nexus Spare Charge (Slow Charge)

Hey Folks,
Does anyone have any experience with the Galaxy Nexus (VZW) spare charger. I bought one for my phone. I charged the new battery with the spare charger and it worked fine. Put it in my phone and everything was ok. It even seemed I got more life out of the new battery than the old.
Anyway, I put my old battery in the spare charger and the led just flashes orange and it seems like it is not charging because when I swapped it to see the battery life it was only at 31% so it gained about 10% overnight.
Does anyone know what these led's mean? There are no manuals or instructions that came with it.
Sounds like the olds battery is going bad.

Decent Extended Battery in India?

I need a decent extended battery that could last about 24 hours with proper usage. Is something like this possible in India?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Don't know about battery but there is a extended battery cover. The cover has an battery inbuilt so when your phone dies or is about to die just switch on the button on the cover and the battery gets charging
Hope this is something you are looking for
