Hello everyone!
Has anyone heard of an 1800 battery for the TB that is/will be the same size as the stock battery? Something available now or coming out soon? Also, are 3rd party brands good/safe to use in my TB? (I've heard good things about some company that sounds like Seido or something...??).
Right now, the 1600mA one that's out just doesn't seem like that much of a jump, and I definitely DONT want the bulky 2750 one.
I figure with an 1800mA battery and once my TB is rooted (and I can dial down the CPU while it's sleeping/standy), I will start to get decent battery life out f it.
Do a search its been answered. I'd give you a link but I'm using my phone.

1600 is more likely what you'll find.

Yeah, so apparently, this precise question hasn't exactly been answered (maybe I'm missing it somewhere? If so, please link.) As the OP suggested, im not really into the 1600, especially with all the talk of the siedio's supposed overrating on their batteries. Has anyone heard any rumours? Reviews? Anything at all?

supposedly htc is working on some like they have for the inc and evo the 1800 mah which dont require a new back.
I hope this true. I would love a longer lasting battery that's slim.

Yeah I'm not too excited about getting a giant battery that will make my phone even bigger. Hopefully, HTC will release a slim 1800mAH battery.
Agreed I decided to go for 3 of the generic 1500mah fleabay batteries, but if an 1800mah was eventually available I'd be all over it.

If the door was easier to take on and off this would be a good solution. Better have some good strong nails or you will be carrying a tool along with the 3 extra batteries

Lol, it is a little tough, but I don't have any issues like others have been having. I just grip it with my right hand down near the kick stand and pop it off using my left thumbnail piece of cake to me. So maybe I have mutant tough nails or just a bit more rough with pulling the battery cover off

Might want to add a extra battery door to your Tbolt battery man purse
I had one of these in my DX and I LOVED it. Hoping that they bring it to the TB.
A strronger battery from HTC would be great. I don't trust the cheap knock offs in a $600 phone that sucks juice likes there no tomorrow.

ROFL Love that movie.
Well I have been working on getting a new job, which is why I have been away recently. And with the new job come a new iPhone 4S and iPad 2. This will be the first time I have ever played with apple products for an extended period. So I am looking forward to trying something new. But from the little I have played with them both I really wish it were a pair of android devices.
I will be the first to say congrats on a new job in this tough economy. I am sure it will be fun and from the sounds of it rewarding too.
On my Epic mobile phone.
This is a good ipad 2 video.

The iPhone 4 took a year and a half for untethered jailbreak for the most recent ios. To me, that is unacceptable. I hope you're making lots of money because the app store will certainly be taking lots of it. One suggestion i will make to anyone with that phone is, go to best buy and get the mophie juicepack plus. It's $100, but it's a good case with a 2000ma battery built in to complement the phone battery. Keep the switch on all the time to top off charge the phone battery all day. If you notice the battery percentage dropping but it still has the plug icon on the battery, turn the switch off then on and that will fix it. You might think that a hundred is crazy to pay for a case/battery. Let me put it to you this way, you can hammer on the phone all day and night with heavy everything usage and the phone will not go dead. Games, internet, streaming, videos, movies, whatever, you will be hard pressed to have the phone die on you. It makes the phone bigger and heavier but with 19 hours on and using the phone a lot and still have 40-60% battery left, that's pretty awesome in my book. That setup puts our extended life replacement batteries to shame!

You'll get longer battery run time if you let the mophie top off charge the already charged phone battery all day. If you do it like it is explained in the video, your run times between charges will be less.

Fortunately it looks like a jailbreak will be released before I get the devices. Also since this is for work there are only a couple of apps that I will need. I will still have my beloved E4GT for all the fun stuff. And thanks for the advice. I will check that out.

My friend has that snap on battery case on his iPhone. He said he can't get through the day on the iPhone battery alone (funny my ET4g can) he loves the fact that it has a micro USB port to charge so he can use my charger or anyone else's, when he needs it. The case does look like a good case for the phone, I'd get one if they made one for mineo

I am going to get a battery case for the phone but I am currently getting almost 2 days on moderate use. 3hr screen time, 2 hours in calls, but very little navigation...
Has anyone had any luck finding one? Now that I've had the phone for a while and I'm getting 14 hours of heavy use but leaves me in the red by the time I'm off work
edit: Just found some on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2200mAh-Power-Bank-External-Backup-Battery-Case-Cover-For-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/271013494903?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f19a9c077&_uhb=1#ht_3270wt_1163
why would you get a case? just get an extended battery with a new door.
it would be much slimmer and provide better power
Any one hour I've if these yet? Concerned about quality

Agree, I had a powerskin for my Skyrocket and it was garbage... took it back after a few days. Turned out the Nexus extended battery worked for the Skyrocket which has useful. Unfortunatly it doesn't work for the S3.
I'm really wanting a battery with higher mah because no matter what I try my battery is almost dead after a 10 hr day at work.

Also, how exactly do those work as far as charging? Do you just leave the phone in it, hook up the charger, and it charges both the phone's battery and the external battery at the same time?
I just bought it off amazon. But.is it really that good?

Most indeededly. The 3600mAh battery lasts far longer than the standard
I've heard about this battery before. There're kinda some same products from other brands, but painfully what you have to sacrifice is the look and the thickness.
I have the 3600 mha battery and yes it will last a long time but it adds probably around 50% thickness to the phone. Basically take the gamepad portion of the phone and add that to the phone and that's how thick it is
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
I actually kind of like the thickness of the battery. In my opinion, it makes the phone have better grip while playing games.

I think I'll buy one mugen battery too. What are you thinking about the phone with it?
Did you played some game? Do you think that the new thickness make the phone hard to hold while playing too?
I've got a SGS2 and a Sensation and had an N1 all with 3600mah Mugen batteries and I couldn't live without them. They are brilliant. At least double the life of the standard ones. However the covers are usually dreadful, the only exception being the SGS2 one, which is creaky but looks OK and doesn't fatten the device up to much. The extra girth as others have pointed out, do help with grip, but the Sensation cover especially was awful and I ended getting 4 replacements sent (which in fairness Mugen supplied for free).

I first of all charged it to 100% and unplugged it at 1100hrs its now 1330 hrs and ive only lost 15% and i have been doing nothing that whole time but activly using the phone. Internet email and loads of emulation. Ive acually been play snesoid for about 98% of the time. I love tthe added thickness because it feels like a gaming device.
One thing i hated about the xperia play was holding the gamepad it felt thin.

Extended batteries are nice, but they add a lot of bulk to your phone. I switched to my stock battery because having a phone that doesn't feel like a heavy brick is so much nicer.

If only it was possible to get that kind of battery life without turning the phone into a humpback whale.
Just to let you know,
the chinese makers of many batteries like to lie about the MaH ratings - it's easy to tell if you weigh them. Also I've seen them set it up so that power depletes slowly for the first 100-60% and then rapidily drop within seconds when the power is running out.
I recommend looking at reviews from phones in general and find a maker that isn't a scammer - one that takes pride in their name and quality. There are plenty now and they're about the same price if you buy direct from china. I thought a few times about selling them but then I relised that people are too dumb and just look at the price so I couldn't be bothered. There are some countries where it's not even possible to buy a decent replacement battery - Latin America and Spain for example.

Exactly. These make it hard to put the phone in your pocket.
IMHO I'd rather carry around a spare Samsung Extended battery with me and just swap it in. Saves a lot of money. I got mine on Amazon for like $10. Plus I can use any case with it.
