[Q] Battery model\extended life battery?

Is there such thing for this phone (extended life\bigger battery)? Also, what's the model number to our current battery?
Thought I'd bring a reserve battery with me if I go on a long trip or something so I'd like to know the model.

I ordered from them battery for Samsung i900 and it was exactly same quality as original.
Excellent quality !

that's not an upgrade as standard i5801 is 1500.

Yeah, thanks. A replace battery is just what I need. And I suppose a thing like an extended battery doesn't exist for our phone.

Get an extra one..
I have 2 batteries and it lasts for a week with minimal usage

exist program BatteryCalibration...it would help to extend battery life
you can find it in Kirillos´ROM

I wasn't looking for no crappy program to give my battery few more hours, I was looking for an extended life battery which is bigger and holds more charge. To bad those things rarely exist for phones.

I know what you mean, even old phones like google G1 have 2700mah batteries, last for weeks! but not for galaxy3. maybe i can make an extended battery by combining two g3 batteries, i will try.

We have a good battery, 1500 with the screen resolution and processor we have is really good. You have bigger and faster phones that use more juice with similar/smaller battery capacity

Yup. I'm not saying this is a bad phone or has a bad battery (I actually get good battery life), but if there is a battery that holds more charge, I'd be happy to buy it

you could also look into stuff like this.

Well that's better (and cheaper) then a spare battery, thanks for finding that one.
EDIT:
This holds 4400Mah, is probably able to charge the phone 3 times

Yeah, thats even better, I suspected there are better options thats why I said something like that (since there is an ad on XDA for it so I didn't have to look )
edit: I'm bookmarking that! Great find, I might get it someday, thanks!

Yup, you can't probably buy it from amazon, I was more just showing that this kind of product exists. You could google the full name of the item and see if any other place sells it

I hate the damn battery, it never last more than 17hours regardless of what kind of ROM and Base band i have flashed...Was it a fake one?

It depends a lot how you use your phone, but I myself have reached max of 100 hours with minimal-medium usage. Typical amount for me is 50-70 hours with medium usage, and max 30 hours with like, google finance updating stocks per 15 minutes and fancy widget pro using gps to show weather every 2 hours and stuff like that. Plus I use adwlauncher ex with 4d drawer and other battery-sucking stuff on. Oh and you should use setcpu profile 166\88 when the screen is off, saves a lot of battery that way

[Q] Extended battery 3500 mAh dealextreme

Hey guys,
I just got my phone two days ago, but currently my Galaxy S2 just barely makes up 1 day with moderate use. (so no gaming, watching youtube or GPS)
I've been searching for an extended battery to prolong the current use of my phone on one charge, and I found these two options.
Has anyone tried one of these battery's:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replac...y-cover-set-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-91182
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replac...h-back-case-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-67304
I know someone who purchases stuff from this website regularly so I'm not questioning the safety of the website, only the quality of the battery. And I know its makes the phone thinker, but that's fine for me.
Btw, I've read also the alternative solutions about putting a ROM on the phone, but I'm not good at that so I'd rather get an extended battery.
Though, I'm not sure how safe non-orginal batteries are from Asia.
Anyone have any experience with that? And is there a risk for the phone, or is the only risk that the battery will just suck?
I've previously read these threads about extended batteries:

The only non official battery I would get is Mugen. Or the samsung one.
The Anker ones get 'ok' reviews but there is hardly any proof your better off than stock (although You do get two of them... so that is going to be double the running time).
Have you not tried checking your settings, making sure you dont have any known terrible battery life apps etc etc etc?
When I first got my SGS2 I could run for 24hours straight easily on Wifi most of the time and loads of texts.
I now have around 65% left before bed so no idea what battery life would be like now. but I know you said you dont want to change roms/underclock etc...
I plan on getting the Samsung 2000mAh one when i get bored though.

I was gonna say the same thing- Mugen Power or official ones. Batteries are one thing you do NOT want to bootleg for a plethora of reasons.

Mugan and Seidio batteries are just as bad as the no name brands. They are like Monster Cable, in otherwords ALL BS marketing! www.batteryboss.org has tests. OEM batteries are the best if they make a extended battery or any cheap thing on the net will do, Since they are so cheap you can get double or triple the number of batteries for what you pay for one brand name one

I heard one saying" the man who uses smartphone is a good man, because he must go home and charge the mobile phone every night"
i bought several batteries from here.

Alright, so what settings in particular would you check? I have GPS always turned off, except when I really use the navigation. Screen brightness lowest. Overall I just have the basic apps Office apps, Dropbox, Skype etc. I know there are several apps to "tweak" the phone, but I haven't had time to dig into the whole thing. What ROM do you use, and what tweaking apps? CynoginMod or something? Any quick short tips?
Moreover, I like the functionalities of the basic ROM, and don't know how to put on any different ROM yet, including what the advantages/disadvantages will be.
Though, I love the phone as it is at the moment. Just the battery life is not that great.

I checked the website batteryboss, but it only seems to show tests of old phone models. But is there a certain risk with "bad-quality" batteries, or is the only risk the costs of buying them?

Nice try Luis2012. I'm not surprised you say you got the best service, as it seems you are either the owner or the promoter of that website.
Or is it a coincidence that virtually every single post out of all 19 posts, you recommend a product from that wesbite?
Moreover, I assume both websites "papadigitals, and "digglove", are yours, since they have identical layout and you both promote them as being a satisfied "customer" in virtually every post of yours.

Extended battery issues

I purchased a really cheap extended battery about a month and a half ago on amazon and it practically doubled my battery life for a while. Now for some reason its no where near that performance and will only last me a day or so. I already wiped my battery stats, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

OMG ONLY A DAY?! YOU POOR THING!
No really though. Maybe it's an app you've downloaded recently. Do a full wipe If a full day of battery life just isn't good enough for you.

Any of the ext batteries good??

May I ask what the battery was? I got a really cheap one off amazon that is supposedly 3500mAh, but it only has a slight difference in charge time =/

Hey,
I got the same extended battery off amazon, it works amazing, anyways there are several things that could be causing this issue:
1. Like someone posted before me check your apps, see whats running. Make sure to look out for the new ones because it might be running in the backround where even the task killer cant reach and killing your batter D:
2. Are you using gps 4g or any other features like that?
3. If you are rooted did you just flash a new rom? because with different roms you will get many different factors that effect your batt, with MIUI I would get over a day on the standard battery, and on sense roms il get maybe only half a day.
4. Those cheap batts are made for little and sold at little from China, so the quality isnt always the best, and it might be time to get a new one!
Hope I helped! and I hope you find a solution! good luck!

Since this a very old post, I'm sure that you've already resolved the issue. It has been my experience that while L-ion batts don't have a memory, their ability to take a charge can be affected by inadequate initial charges and NOT running them totally dead, at least once in a while. Whereas wiping battery stats will help the phone's OS to ensure maximum charge and usage, the battery still needs to go through a full cycle.
I hope that I'm not wearing you out with crap you already know. (Let's just assume that someone else needs this information, too).
Now to get REALLY nerdy:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Read that if you really want to understand L-Ion batteries.
Then, you could just have a really cheap or bad battery pack. BTW, what's that brand again? I'm about to buy one myself...LOL.

[Q] Ecell - GOLD 2430MAH BATTERY FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY

Has anyone tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).

This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it

E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!

yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

Depends on what you use, however most custom roms go longer then stock roms.
Can also be caused by underclock, overclock, auto sync, scripts, gps, wifi always on etc

Did you bother reading the review below? They're saying that the description is incorrect and the battery is too big for the Gio...

so does anyone here ever tried extended battery? i've been looking into any forums. but always find problem, which is bigger in size, or the voltage is not stabil.
and i doubt that if the extended battery for gio would be so cheap. any suggestion?

I look for good quality battery with>mAh than original gio battery

Not sure if you can find one. Anyway it is always better to use original hardware, just pay attention to your phone settings (wifi, widgets, live wallpapers) and disconnect everything that you don't need .

I'm going to buy some of the battery... it looks like really good for me...

I wonder if it's realy possible to have a significant higher capacity battery with the same size.
In my previous phone (Nokia N82) I replaced my original battery with some chinese one which looked exactly the same as my original but it was no match for the real one. It performed slightly better than my original Nokia battery of 2 years old .
With batteries I guess you get what you pay for.

I got a gold battery from ebay for pretty cheap (i think $20 with shipping). It seems to work better than the original. It is 1430mah iirc. I've run a few tests on both batteries and it does work better by about 20 percent. Perhaps he original battery was defective *shrug* I'm really not sure how they stuff more juice in the same amount of space. Using the new battery with wifi/3g on and trillian and gmail syncing in the background, the phone will last 15 hours with regular use. Never tested with wifi/3g off and a lower screen brightness, perhaps it would last much longer. Still I've got the original battery with me as a backup.
Edit: Running gold battery all the way to dying i'm reaching 33 hours at this point with some system tweaks. Lower brightness, just trillian running and gmail accounts syncing. Still curious how long it'd go with wifi and data turned off but I havent had a chance to test that. My older phone had an aftermarket battery that was three times the size of the original and special cover came with it. It made the device quite heavy but i didnt mind since i had about 4 times the power. I wish they had that for the gio.

1,5 days and it's off
I use Governor Smartassv2 and i cannot have more than 1,5 days with stock battery.

help
where can i get cheap batteries

you could get them from ebay/dealextreme/focalprice/...
And always invest some time to read what others have to say about an item before you buy it

is there a final report on the battery search?

Not really, i really wish charging cases would come out for more devices, instead of just the iphone though.
