Just saw a 5000mAh battery at an online shop.
Do you think its legit? Will it give double the battery time?

I had seen a few of the 5000mah batteries when I was in HK, but they were all larger than the stock battery and they came with a replacement back cover that made the note thick as hell and not fit any cases.
So, yes, that is legitimate but who would want it? It is better to simply carry an extra battery and swap when needed. You can buy an Anker replacement battery and charger set for about $25.

yes
instead of swapping batteries, you can also try this portable charger packs from eneloop:

just bring your usb data cable with you.

i think is the best way.
I have a 5000 mah battery. It does last twice as long, but the tabs on the ill-fitting, cheap battery door broke after one month. Next time, I am getting a second regular-sized battery to swap out when needed.

I have one that is identical to the one on that web site, and it's nowhere near 5000 mAh. I used it yesterday and I got 4 hours screen time, like any other of the normal-sized batteries I have. This one is made of two smaller batteries connected together. Is not custom made for the Galaxy Note.
Inside you can find two batteries that are smaller than the Samsung one, each one inside an aluminium box and both surrounded by plastics and rubber to make the assembly bigger.

Wow!! So, cheap 5000mah battery cannot trust. Most of them are not really 5000mah...
Well i am using the mugen 5400 and this is a beast it has close to the 5400 when I put it in a battery tester it reads around 5334 so this is pretty darn good but then again it is almost 100 euros but u get quality like u always do from mugen.

I have a cheap Ebay 5000mha battery with the larger back cover and I love it. I can now use the Note like I would use a tablet the entire day and still have loads of charge left when I get home.

So I've seen a couple of eBay auctions for 3800mAh GNex batteries. I can't post the URLs here as links because I'm a too new here ( :-( ).
The price is right and the promise of 2x the rather modest battery life of the 1750mAh battery in my GSM GNex is hard to resist.
What does everyone think?
It will double the thickness of your Nexus, and has a cheap (and probably) non-ergonomic back cover.
I wouldn't it get as it has no NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna in it. Also, most of those cheap Ebay batteries are not rated as advertised.
Try it and get back to us. I'm trying the 2300 and 1900 mah GSM cheapo batteries from ebay and getting back to the community afterwards

Yes - that's one of them. Do a search for i9250 3800 and you'll be able to find the other.
Admittedly the back case doesn't look as nice as the stock one, but what I'm really worried about is my phone exploding in my pocket and injuring me. Or at least destroying my $600 phone.
This manufacturer has had a lot of similar units for various phone models.
I had been using a version for the Samsung Infuse 4G with no issues for 4 months or so, so I would expect the same for the Galaxy Nexus variant.
One thing to keep in mind however: these batteries DO NOT have the NFC Antenna in them, so you will not be able to use Google Wallet or the Android Beam options.
These batteries are actually are from a Droid Charge. I read it one galaxy nexus and i have tested it myself. There are some Droid Charge 3800mAh battery with good reviews you. But you still will need a back cover and will have NFC.

$11.89 for cover & battery seems fair for 3,800 mAh:

Just be aware that all batteries are not created equal, especially from china. Surefire batteries, specifically 18950 batteries used in high end flashlights. They just put a new shrinkwrap and recharge old batteries. Good or bad, it dont matter at least they look new. They advertise 3000mah, youd be lucky to get 2 of 10 that are 2000mah.

Well, given the price, I'd have to say it's going to suck, but then again - it's not that much money to try it - if you really need something that huge.
I would try it, but I'd rather wait for a package that comes with a case. In the end it's a $725 device that I don't want ding'd.
After trying a lot of these batteries on most of my phones over the years, I say that if it aint sold by the phone manufacturers, save your time and money.

I think you're thinking of 18650 batteries. Flashlight forums usually rate the surefires rather well compared to the others.
I'd say give it a try. those are generics. back in my multiple battery craziness days, i had 2 of those same generics for my Thunderbolt. they were ok.. at least they actually worked anyway. didn't use them long enough though to comment on longevity.

Yeah, I know what you mean about multiple battery craziness lol. I have two generic batteries for my Thunderbolt AND a huge Seidio extended battery along with my OEM. The generics work just as well as the OEM.
Generally any battery for your smart phone under $40.00 probably isn't rated at what it says it is. I've managed a fairly good collection over the years. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to them.

Same here. Calibration helps a lot.
An additional 150ma, if that number is even true, you won't notice any difference compared to the stock battery. That small of increased capacity isn't enough to be noticeable.

If it's accurate, it's a touch over 8% gained. Rough math, but if you get 12 hours use out of stock 1800mah, then 1950mah will give you an additional 57 minutes.
That is a horrid looking battery door. I too have no problems making an 18 hour day on my stock battery. Wonder if a Tpu case will stretch over the battery with out the battery door.
The extended cover looks better physically than in picture. Its rather it's easy to grip the phone now with the extended battery with my big hands. Battery still holding out nicely as before.
My extended battery (note: it's actually 3800mah) and door came today and I must say, I am damn impressed.
This phone, even with extra-deep door, is thinner than the Galaxy S1 I just came from, so I'm strongly considering leaving it on all the time.
The extra depth and curved door is also good for holding the phone in your hand.
It's a great purchase. I bought generic off eBay for under $10.
I will say this is better than generic
it's on par with trexcell although both are of same mAh
I just purchased the 1950 slim version. Have been using it for 3 days. I got Battery Monitor Pro so I could determine true battery amperage. It's telling me 2366mAh right now but I need to give it a few more days before it settles in.
Hey nubsors I've heard those apps cant truly measure mAh curious to see how accurate it ends up being. I have a generic battery and I'm curious about its real rating.
place a stock oem battery and have it measure it
Any of you wanna send me one to test?? I'd gladly test one with my equipment and publish it over at my Epic4G Battery Reviews thread. I'd also be curious if it'd fit under one of my generic cases (regular Epic4G here) just for kicks but I can review the battery no matter what.
I'll send it right back after I get 3 solid runs of collected data for consistency.

i made battery calibration when i started using the Extended Battery.
(in average) i charge the phone almost after every 3 days.
@andreasS2 i don't trust non-original cheap items too, but the price + the 3200mha + the seller Positive feedback + the seller Exchange and Refund Guarantees made me to try this battery!
i don't regret buying it!

itll be fine for a few months and last a bit longer then the original one , then over time (a few months) the cells will die and the battery will become weaker and last less then the original
you will also find that even though the battery says 3500mah on it you wont get double the time for exampe if you get 4 hours video with the stock you wont get 8 hours video with this new battery as it probably isnt even 3500mah
i dont know how much you spent but you can get the original samsung 2000mah battery for £17 in the uk which is much better value
i think that the original 2000 mha is enough to complete a workly day as well as the phone with extended batteries loses his beaty....this is my opinion

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interested! let us know
Also found it at Amazon UK for the GSM version:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/QCell-Samsung-3850mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B006SKHIKG/
Might end up buying one. ¿Any cases that will fit it?
Great find! I've searched daily for one of these. Thanks very much for sharing. I need one for backcountry GPS use and changing out small batteries always screws with settings. For $20 with cover and Prime, I'm jumping on it!
Just a quick warning that these are not NFC compatible. Personally, I don't use it, but it may be important to others.
Battery came very quick, very fast delivery and used for one day
I'm extremely impress with the performance of this battery. Typically on an average day, I only get at maximum 4 hours of battery life thanks to the 4G connection, now I can go on for a whole day without looking for a charger! will continue to post results as I use this more
Also will like to comment on the back cover. It has the Hyperskin texture just like the original case. Makes the phone just as grippy as the original case, the cover also provides an ergonomic contour for holding the phone properly. With the original cover I find it a little bit too thin to hold. Along with the hyperskin texture, this thing does not slip at all.
Overall excellent build quality and good lasting battery. This will be my main battery going forward
I don't trust Chinese batteries because of an experience I had with a Chinese battery I had for my DX2.
I will stick with my expensive Seidio batteries from now on. lol
seidio is like 4 times the price of this battery. I tried seidio before and although they are good, i find phones obsolete too quickly to warrant on an expensive battery with similar increase of batt life
At that price it's hard not to pass up. There are very few times I need such battery life but tournament weekends and occasional outings for events definitely would warrant this.
Just ordered one for flights with an external charger. Hopefully everything works out well.

Gonna give the Anker Multi-Purpose Universal Rapid Cell phone Battery Charger for Samsung: Galaxy Nexus one a try. Can't post a link for amazon since I don't have enough post.
Btw, just a heads up to you all.

Just a FYI.
OP probably is affiliated with QCell in some way.

Can someone NOT affiliated with QCell give us your personal thoughts...
Battery vs Stock vs Extended Verizon
I'm worried that the cheaper cells used won't hold their charge after xxx charges. It happens all too often. I think all of us have had this happen to them on one phone or another. At that point might as well buy overpriced Seidio.
That picture makes it appear that the extended battery nearly doubles the thickness of the phone. I'm using the Sansung extended battery and while it adds a nicely needed "heft" to the phone that keeps it from feeling too cheap, it doesn't add a lot of thickness.
I ordered a GSM one from Amazon UK, there's not much price difference with the chinese ones on eBay and, although the battery might probably come from the same or similar place, the case seems nicer and if anything goes wrong I'd rather ***** Amazon customer service than some random eBay seller.
Will keep you informed, although I don't have the official extended battery to compare with.
I just got mine in today. Definitely is thicker and kind of looks like the seidio extended battery but it actually matches the color and texture of the original battery. I am coming from the verizon extended battery and am charging up the new one as I type this so I'll report back after I use it a bit
I have seen cases for other phones that contain a second battery to charge the phone's main one? Does this type of accessory exist for the Note?
they do,a lot of them exist on ebay and amazon. I think ecell sold the 3500, probably their other wares are good. I'd check some threads here if I was you. I think there is a review on some of them

I don't want an extravagant battery. Even just a case containing one the same size will do. I want it a case for the actual phone though - not a separate "carry battery" to charge my phone off. The thinner, the better also.

I own the first one in black. It works as advertised and makes the phone feel protected. THe Microusb port on the bottom of the device is a tight fit and faces backwards to the one on the phone. This means you have to pay attention plugging it in so as not to munge the plug. I have two batteries and this case that I take with me when I expect to need to use my device excessively.
I found this one, I am not sure if it is any good or not but I like that it has a kickstand and I like that it looks somewhat like an OEM case.

Right, I ordered this model yesterday
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120972372225?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It came today.
From what I noticed so far:
- It looks great. Phone fits tightly inside, overall shape is longer and just slightly thicker than a usual protective case.
- Product description mentions some king of a stand. Don't bother about it. It's just a plastic coin-shaped object which you can slide in the hole at the back of the case (you have to keep it in your pocket separately).
- The case can't charge your phone if you're using it. Its output is only 500mA which is not enough for charge and use. The description at the back of the box states 1Amp but the instruction mentions only 500mA. Phone's battery slowly discharges even when the case is on (there is a button at the back to switch it on/off). Of course the overall combined both batteries life should be longer but if you are close to 0% of phone's battery life you are better of switching the phone off, letting the case to charge it and then switching it back on. I'll do some tests tomorrow if it's better to keep the case on from 100% phone's battery life or drain the phone and then switch it off, switch the case on, charge and switch the phone back on. I'll see what gives longer battery life.
- You can charge your phone without taking it out of the case. just be ready for some longer charging times because of those 500mA.
I don't know yet if both phone and case are being charged simultaneously or first phone and then, if the battery reaches 100% the case.
I'll add some photos later on today.
If you have any questions, throw them in.

Been using this kind of case for one month.. Easy to carry than powerbank with cable, which you need to connect the cable separately.. :laugh:
