Dude u do not need a bigger battery for this phone. look online for things u can do to increase ur battery life. trust me, i tried and my battery life increased big time. by the way the bigger battery u bought and the back cover that comes with the battery make this beautiful phone looks like crap. this is not worth it bro. return the case.

Lol,
Turn off gps, bluetooth, wifi,
Turn down screen brightness,
Turn off haptic selection, audiable tones.
Tirn off anamation and 3g data.
When not useing the phone go ahead and power it down.
Turn off vibrate with ringer and enable silent mode.
Is that what you had to do?
Btw i know that from 9MM TO NOW 12MM IS NOT UGLY.
You make me sick. And your hijacking my post
Please do not put me down because my phone is a bit thicker but last double the time it used to. And thats with the above features turn to max

Dont worry about the complainers fnakfhe .
I bought a 3000mah battery with back plate. (My posts on this version are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8135991&postcount=49 )
But its way cheaper than the Mugen one.
I do admit,in the pics its not exactly 'pretty' being fatter but hey,for that cheap price (about AUD $25!) I cant complain. (I coudnt justify spending USD$99 on the Mugen one)
So yeah.I just had to try it out. Anyway,Im still waiting for it to arrive.
(I did contact the seller and he said it was resent on the 14th so Ill have to wait a it more)

I ordered that one too. He refunded me cuz there was some technical difficalties with the battery. Then a week later he emailes me back saying the priblem is now fixed.
So i did order it again.
The idea is to never have to charge my phone but to just charge the batterys useing a desktop battery charger from ebay. It was only eight dollers.
I did not get the second ebay battery and charger yet. Ill keep you posted

So you'll have the 3200mah mugen one and the 3000mah one?
Wow,'power overload '
As for the desktop charger.I got one of those wall chargers.Well actually a package,came with the wall charger.2 OEM 1500mah batteries,USB Cable and he also threw in 3 screen protectors.(Came today in the mail)
Post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8181516&postcount=139
Plan to use the wall charger for the 3000mah battery too.(when I get it).

LOL!! I love it. I agree with you. What's the point in having a smartphone with all these cool features if you have to turn them off. I personally couldn't afford the mugen one, and because I couldn't find a phone cover for the added thickness (if I purchased the 3000 mah off ebay) I opted for 3 additional OEM batteries with a desk charger.

I have just installed tasker - and it switches these things on and off for me, when I need them - I think thats a good idea save battery and have a small battery.
But, I would consider getting a bigger battery if I needed it to do all my stuff I do in a day.
currently have a lifetron 5200maH battery just in case
Just wondering how long these batteries are lasting you? What's your average usage? Are you guys power users? Are you using it for business & play (ie: browsing, phone calls, gaming.. )?
The stock battery is giving me about 19hrs, give or take, with moderate to heavy display usage (damn word feud and xda apps lol). Using the hybrid rom with brightness set low is the only tweak that I had to shut off. Running a black BG, but have 6 widgets on my desktops.
If your reports are good I might actually look into getting something with higher capacity.

Extended battery, with battery cover, 14.99, but says i9000, will it fit galaxy s
Hey, so here is a battery for the Galaxy S i9000, thought maybe it would fit the vibrant
http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extende...789421?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1ced
edit:
it says won't fit the vibrant if you scroll all the way down
ps, why does it say fits only unlocked i9000, what does being unlocked have anything to do with the physical body?

can you provide the links where you purchased from, how do the batteries work so far, does the cover fit?
I personally have all features maxed out and use it on and off all day at work and my battery life seems just fine, i usually don't have to charge it from about 7am to eh 11pm @ night? fair usage on talk time and possibly taking a few breaks through out the day to play a couple games

the update i posted in my OP is for the 3200mah batt. i got it from:
http://mugenpoweronline.com/product_info.php?products_id=790
the cover for that one is **** quality. nothing like orignal. but i dont care about looks at this point i just need more power.
and i ordered one 3000mah from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390237789421#ht_500wt_674
its still not here yet, i dont know if the case will fit, but if worse comes to worse i will just use the back cover case from the $99 battery and use it with the 3000mah one.
also this is the other one i ordered:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370432210306#ht_1465wt_662
I bought an extended battery for certain occasions where conserving power isn't an option...mainly vacations, etc
a full day of the screen on, looking through itineraries (and line apps), and snapping photos really drains a battery at Disney World, and it's not like you can really recharge.
Got my 3000mah battery for my Galaxy S today.
See my last post in this thread here for some info:

Case available for vibrant extended battery
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the vibrant with the extended battery.
I am getting one and will let you people know how it works.
Okay since I am still a newbie I cannot post pictures or links...... I understand.
PM me and I will e-mail pics of the extended battery case from moretalktime (e-bay or dot com); on the phone, off the phone, ect.
This is a case, not a cover for extended batteries lets keep that clear.
I am happy to say it is molded well, and fits my phone nicely, since it comes over the edges onto the front about 1/4" it is a little bit of a pain to wrestle the phone into the case but that is fone because I want a snug fit. The cut outs for the buttons are generous and well placed with the buttons centered in the cut outs not off to one side like many cases I have used in the past. The color is a dull flat -black, with only a small recessed company name on the back twords the bottom.
All in all nice work at a nice price, my hats off to the vendor.
I am purchasing an additional case for my little sister (who has the same phone and set up) who is much more of a "casual user" and is currently using a modified Trident Case (Cyclops model) that I cut out the back for her extended battery cover.
Hi, I will soon receive my SGS II and I normally use 2-3 batteries for my current Nexus S to get by a single day. I'm wondering where can I buy SGS II battery and separate charger? I've searched everywhere but can't find one. Without extra battery my new SGS II will be kind of useless for me. I Know it has 1650 mah, but it just means I can get by with just one additional battery instead of two . Thanks.
usually stuff like battery's comes along a short while after a product has been released .

When you see what you have to do to get off the battery cover I predict you'll be wanting you go that less than three times in a day.

Get a powermonkey to keep your battery topped up. I've had one for years and has been a real life saver.

I personally would prefer a 3500mAh extended battery, like the ones available for SGS1 and HTC EVO. The price of these units is also reasonable.
cryptic, yes you are right, I have SGS II now for couple of days and removing the cover and putting it back on seems to be a pain in the A**. But looking at the battery life, it seems i'll be fine with one more battery and I'll just buy one more back cover should it break due to opening again and again which seems very likely.
tamas, I have been using extended batteries before and really loved it, but SGS II is the slimmest phone in the world, I don't want to make it look fatter and bulkier. I just like it being slim and very light. It may be even lighter then my Nexus S.
Don't worry about the back cover breaking or anything.

Yeah, there is always a tradeoff... The powermonkey and other similar solutions are even heavier and need more space. Right now I have a powerbank with 4xAA batteries, capable to charge any USB-powered unit - it serves well, especially if you want to charge different devices.
However it's ~300g and you have to hassle with the cable, which is not so easy e.g during trekking.

There are plenty of 3000-3500mAh batteries available for the SGS-1, let's hope they will come up very soon with SGS-2 compatible batteries.
P.S.: if anyone knows that one is available, please give a note here.
Weird. I got at least 20 hours out of a standard battery on the 9000.
Hopefully there will be a battery available soon, always prefer to have a spare on me, just in case...

I'll need one in about a month. There are great stuff on ebay for the SGS-1, such as 2x3500mAh batteries+cover in a bundle. I want something like that for my sgs2...
Finally it is now available on Ebay. Though I need just one extra with a charger, they include 3! All other sellers on ebay seems to be selling wrong battery.

That's still only 1650mAh=you have to turn off the phone and replace battery every time one is flat. I keep hunting for a 3000 or 3500mAh unit with back cover.

Nope, the one I am looking for is a big system battery, which needs a new back cover (~twice as thick as the original battery).
The phone gets thicker, but finally I can hike all day long using GPS with one charge and no hassle with external batteries/cables.
Yep, my phone is melted down. Totaly busted. Went red, then melted. Really ****ing awesome.
Got a picture?
That happened to a friend of mine... Have you got pictures?
Lol, well. Let's put it this way, my picture taking device is now debris. I'll try and take a picture with a friends camera.
I only have 2000 mAh and my phone lasts for 2 days with moderate use running on stock is it just an average?
Wow that sucks. Any idea what brand or was it a non-brand item? If you have any details maybe post them so people stay away
wow, This was an original bettery?
Man that sucks, please link to the item and some picture would be nice, so nobody else`s phone suffers the same fate
is it this battery?
Thats why you shouldn't skimp out when it comes to batteries.

the battery you have in that picture is the exact same one ive had in the past, i never experienced any issues other than after approx 75 charges the battery was down to around 75% capacity, i agree with thewizard you get a much better grip with it on. it could just have been a random faulty battery but it definitely sucks that it screwed the phone up. Ive never come across a perfect solution for upgraded batteries, i went from the above mentioned to the gold 2000 mah battery and to be honest was no better than the original but cost me £10 to find out lol
if anyone knows of any better alternatives be sure to give me a shout

Yeah the OFFICIAL 2000mah battery from Samsung
Either get(or should have gotten) the anker battery or the mugen 3600 battery. When it comes to a £500 device, then spending £10 or £70 is more than suitable.
Have a good day.
PS: Really sorry about your device..
i was so close to buying this batter just now
thanks for the heads up
and im sorry for your loss
Av been using the anker one that comes with the charger so far so good.
iv been using the 3500battery for a few weeks now in some extreme conditions and haven't had any problems.
Im feeling a bit worried now took me a while to save up for my s2.
Never buy these cheap battery's..only buy from mugen seido or anker all others are junk and have much less capacity then advertised

Hi,
I would like to know what is the best battery upgrade. Sometimes i need to use my phone for geocashing for more than two days and it is very boring trying to find time for waiting for charging. So I'm looking for best solution like extended battery or something like that. Size is not important for me, but i want something quality. Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Since size isnt a problem, id say.. get the Mugen 3200mah battery.
The quality is good and it has almost twice the capacity of the original.
Official samsung 2000 mah is pretty good. I get about 30% more usage on a full charge.

I prefer stock battery. If you want that extra 100mAh, you could try Anker battery for SIII
if you dont car about price id say:
Mugen

Sedio
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-3500-extended-battery-nfc-p/bacy35ssgs3n-bk.htm
or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?
or if you want the best slim battery? etc...
So Mugen Power is the best, Right ?
Do you want a slim battery or and extended battery?

Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.
I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.
I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

I'm kinda curious about those, too, now. They don't have NFC, but it's almost never that i use NFC anyway.
edit: i might just order one. People in the following thread have ordered the Gold 3250 mAh battery for their Note's, and they seem to have good things to say about them.
