Sprint extended battery?

Does any one know where to get the sprint extended battery with a back that says sprint or Google not Verizon. I want one for my sprint galaxy nexus. Any help out there?

I guess they didn't make one so I don't think you will have any luck finding one at the moment

I'm using the verizon extended battery with my sprint gnex. I had to trim some of the tabs for the battery cover to fit correctly and it says verizon but I have a ringke slim case on anyway so you don't see that. Not that it would matter.

I just picked this up. It fits under the sprint cover pretty well. I little bulge but it went right back into my case mate pop case so I'm not worried. The Verizon back just needs to have 2 of the tabs trimmed down. They clearly made 2 of the tabs not line up between the two phones, but that's the only difference. Anyone know of a good way to remove the vzw logo without messing up the finish?

OEM sprint ext battery is out?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

A month or two ago, I went into a Sprint store in Chicago and asked the guy what could be causing my battery to overheat and die so quickly, and he said there was a defect with the battery that comes with the Galaxy Nexus, and that he had just read an internal memo that Sprint was going to be offering a FREE replacement extended battery, but wasn't sure when. So I called customer care, and after hounding them for 30 min, they ended up calling the Sprint store I went to and the guy I had talked to helped them find the memo he was talking about. They made a note on my account and told me to call back in a couple weeks because it was going to be issued mid-August.
I chatted with a Sprint customer care agent today, and here's what he said about it:
Customer: I do have one more quick question for you
Vincent W.: OK.
Customer: I had called a couple weeks ago, a Sprint employee at a sprint store told me that Sprint was going to be issuing free extended batteries for the galaxy nexus since there was some defect with the battery, they made a note on my account after they had found the memo that the employee was referring to, do you know what the status is on that?
Vincent W.: Let me check this for you.
Customer: Cool thanks!
Vincent W.: Yes. There is an account note.
Vincent W.: The offer will be available on Aug 19, 2012.
Vincent W.: As per previous account notes on your account.
Customer: Oh wow, so Sunday? Do I call in to get it, or do I go to a local Sprint store?
Vincent W.: Yes, please visit the local store.
Vincent W.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
So I guess they're offering the free replacement extended batteries in store on Sunday.

I just spoke to a chat lady about this myself. I was curious as I figured I'd be able to find one to at least buy online, but it looks like the website won't have link to it for a bit (unless they wait till the 19th to post it). She did confirm what you're saying and that the store's themselves do have them, so I guess the original way they said they were going to give them out (phone and website with a promo code) may have changed.
For all of you interested it may be worth a trek down to the Sprint store Sunday to check it out.

Hmmmm. A defect? Don't we use the same battery that Verizon uses? I hope these battery's Are free. And are available at most stores. So anyone hear any updates about ordering via telesales?

How many hours do you get on the extended battery. I've had mine in for 2 days now and I average like 6-7, and that's not cool, I would of hoped for at least 10 or so.. Maybe I didnt charge it correctly when I first got it?

Usage varies. Keep in mind its only 2100mah. 13% increase from stock. So do the math

Everyone keeps posting "promo code" but what is it? Does this free battery only avail for those who purchased an extended battery from sprint (didnt think they even had one) or will they give it to those with the stock Sprint battery? Thanx

If form factor was the reason I could see the Note being a good choice. Especially if you dont own a tablet.
As far as the N4 its more a lateral (if that) move than an upgrade.

I've had both since an s3.The nexus 4 great phone ,real sleek and feels good in the hand and very fast, but I feel like the camera for some reason is not as good as the s3, and when I played youtube videos on HQ, it really didn't. It really didn't look so clear. Then i got the note 2 and was amazed great phone fast! The multi window feature and the S-pen features is good too, but just little to big for me. Well back to the s3, just great phone to me! Now I'm not here putting either phones down because they were both great phones but my opinion the s3 just right for me.

I was a true flash addict. Hell I could barely enjoy my phone as a phone since I was always flashing.
I was on CM10 for a while and flashing a nightly every night and searching for mods was a daily fix for me.
Ive since went Frosty JB and I love it. Of course I still do small mods. Got wind of the Moto Droid M launcher with its flipping circle clock widget and I love it.

Waste of time and money if you ask me. The Note 2 is just a bigger version on the S3 with a pen and the N4 is a step down from the S3 if you are used to having a bunch of your music and pictures on your phone, especially for off line use in bad data areas, while in other countries, and on flights. 12GB or 5GB of usable storage and a nonremovable battery just doesn't cut it for many of us who use our phones all day long for everything. If you are a hardcore developer and don't need the storage space and don't need to stash extra batteries around by all means jump to the N4.

Bingo. I wouldn't even consider switching fir exactly these reasons. Same with some of the HTC One's. I looked at them before buying my GS3 but it had those same issues and really made my decision easy.

Tegrak

Hey guys. I've got a gs2 and I'm thinking about this device but I might just wait until the s4 comes out. Undecided at this point. Anyway the reason for this thread is because I didn't see any others about the fact that we can now overclock the stock kernel with tegrak overclock, as long as you're rooted, from the play store. Most of you probably already know this and if there is a thread on this topic then just delete this but I didn't see one so I thought I would share the info.

Why don't you just buy the phone used on Craig list they go for about 200/250 in Chicago I seen one sold for 150 and save your upgrade. This is a good phone but better things are already popping up. I say get this on Craig list is because it would at least give you 4g lte, wimax don't compare on speeds. And where I live wimax is not availbe my girl friend hates sprint with 3g but. Love using my phone 4g lte because I can tether my net to her phone.

Yeah most likely where I live I'll never see lte. Never saw wimax so that I definitely won't see either lol. I mostly use wifi because I can't stand 3G either. I'll have to check out Craigslist though. You can get one for $119.00 on Amazon wireless. But then again you are burning an upgrade on last year's device. The gs2 with stock jellybean is pretty cool though. It'll be even better once we get source but who knows how long we'll have to wait for that. Hopefully soon.

My personal opinion would be to hold off for the s4 I LIKE me s3 but with the s2 also running JB it can do for most part all that the s3 can do minus NFC. If you look at them on paper you will see a minor all around spec jump. However you look at the s2 on paper and what people are guessing the s4 will have that should be a major jump. Plus samsung is really neck and neck with apple right now at least by wall streets anaylists so I am sure the s4 is going to be just a beast of a phone and hopefully put that final nail in apples coffin. The s3 almost did it
Made leaps and bounds more than any other android hand set to date so that should say something so it will be very exciting to see what the s4 will look like. And also done forget Google is working on the x phone. I imagine that will be a beast of a phone as well. As it will be Motorola and googles first tight collaboration since the acquisition.

Yeah 99 bucks is a great deal but I don't to burn the upgrade just yet. I was so close to doing it too but I'm going to just wait for the s4. Besides other than the leaks for the s2 I've been running, which have been really great, we still haven't seen the final build or source yet so it's only going to get better.

What would you do?

As of August 1st I have been eligible for an upgrade. Also.. I am no longer in contract with sprint.
On a side note, I travel the world (primarily in the US though) for my career.
What phone would you get? S4? HTC One? Hold out for the Motorola X (I love that phone despite the somewhat mid tier specs)?
Would you switch carriers? Wait for the next nexus? Any other rumored phones on the horizon?
I feel like I do not want to renew my contract just yet and no device particularly stands out to me just yet (aside from my Motorola X curiosity).
As the title suggests.... What would you do? Hold out for nexus on a gsm and ditch? I'm SO TORN!

Also, with travelling the country... Are they known for good data in most major cities (sprint certainly is not)?
I primarily work in Seattle, Los Angeles, new York, Las Vegas, Hollywood, Florida, Atlanta (sometimes). The other countries I primarily work in are Germany, France, London and possibly soon will be in Japan more frequently.
Obviously gsm is a better choice if overseas trips continue to happen more often... Mostly concerned with coverage in the US though as I can get by (well enough) using Google voice and wifi in Europe... Although that has SCREWED me over few times...
I think I'm mostly hung up on devices at this point. I may just bite the bullet and buy the next lte nexus and attempt to be contract free...
So far away though and I am so tired of the sgsii...

So far away though and I am so tired of the sgsii... <br />

The GSM S4 Google Edition (basically a Nexus) should be coming out really soon.

Do not do the new program that t-mobile and AT&T are doing. It is absolute BS. Not only do you pay the full amount over a 2 year contract, if you want to upgrade, you are required to give the device back. You are essentially renting the device from them for the full price. If you want to cancel your contract early , you are required to pay the rest of the full retail price of the device at the time of purchase and pay the ETF. Go with the original plan options if you go contract.

Yes, this goes along with the article I posted in response to my first responder. Those plans are garbage...
If only the Motorola X had been the cheap off contract phone everyone was waiting for

@EmperorX sounds like we may be in the same industry. I get great reception wherever I travel and I think I'll hold out for my S4 or HTC One or whatever awesome device that's out when I'm do for my upgrade in November. Plus the hotels give us free WiFi.

After doing more research and reading a ton of reviews... I may just go with the Motorola X phone
Not sure if I'm going to stick with sprint or not. Will decide next month.

Not to burst your bubble, but I feel it is a deal breaker for me, no sd card support on the Moto X

32 gigs is enough for me (when that variant comes to everyone). Only stuff I store locally is Spotify music. Everything else auto uploads to the cloud essentially.
We'll see though... Note 3 on the horizon... Too many choices!

I don't like relying on the cloud, I store everything locally, I guess 32 gb would be enough if we get one with that much memory. Just wanted you to be aware of that.

I like it. But I'm a removable battery and micro SD slot kinda guy. I'll wait for the next snapdragon 800 powered phone with the above options. Note 3? S5?

If you're looking into the HTC one look the the LG G2.

If I were you, I'd wait until Sprint releases a tri-band LTE phone first, whether it be the Note 3 or Galaxy S5. I'm personally gonna be renewing my contract for the S5.

Yeah the no SD card and non removable kinda annoying me too. The Korean version has both SD slot and removable battery. Let's hope sprint can get it in their variant ... I'm banking on that if they do I want to try something different than Samsung

New rumor from last night is that there will be TWO nexus variants in Q4. One from Lg (based off of (G2) and another nexus made by Motorola (NOT based on the moto X). If either of these is cdma (probably not) I'll buy on the play store and stay contract free.
Given that they will most likely be gsm only... I would most like the Motorola nexus, if true, and switch to tmobile. Contract free of course...

Me, probably. I've always wanted a Nexus device. I think I might buy an unlocked GSM version tho.

NICE! Let me know how you like it and Android 4.4!!!

I may jump ship and get the Nexus 5. Although I will miss expandable storage and user replaceable battery.

I'm gonna go for the 32 gb model (assuming it is the largest model, if not... I'll get that) and that will be fine for me. I've NEVER had a phone with as many battery / radio / gps / bs issues as this one... So I'm hoping for the best lol. It looks to be a beast!

Here's the PR from Sprint - Highlight - $149.99 on contract. Preorders start tomorrow.
http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...-sprint-unlimited-data-guarantee-for-life.htm
Now how to get the cash for this.... this is honestly a priority over the G2.
Every AOSP project will need this and I'd like to help make sure we get love this time.

i'm looking closely at this as well. would love to get a nexus, waiting to see if its an easy thing to get it moved over to ting (runs on sprints network and they have all the other lte phones you can byod)
its either that or i'll grab a sprint galaxy nexus and a zero lemon battery and just rock that one for a while

This will be my next phone, I am eligible for an upgrade now, but I need the cash first. Was waiting for the announcement to see if Sprint support was available first. Would have already gotten the MotoX, but I need about 24GB of storage for my everyday usage, so I was thinking HTC One.
Now, I just want it to get a B1G1 or B1G2, or a nice Amazon Wireless discount and I would be EXTRA happy.
**** Added via Edit***
Also just saw that the new wireless charging pad uses magnets for orientation on it, so it should work like the Palm Touchstone, which has usually been considered the best of the wireless chargers. http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/

Well... If sprint doesn't announce the 32 gb version during their pre-sale tomorrow.... I'm leaving for Tmo
I purchased the 32 gig model today (can still cancel) but I refuse to pay carrier subsidized prices when I'm bringing my own unsubsidized device. Unless they get me a discount on the 32 gig or get with the times, I'm out.

Love my note 3. Even if it's single band I actually get 4glte in buildings. Although with sprint spark announced and launching here in LA my plan is to sell the note 3 in one year and upgrade to either the S5 or Note4

16 gb = pwn3d.
Also, it is only fifty if you transfer from another carrier and start a new line of service, not for existing customers.

Does anyone know if the subsidized sprint version will be exactly the same as the version from the play store. Will it get updates straight from google?
My 2 years are finally up at the end of the month. If the subsidized version is the same, I can't pass up $150.

I bought the 32 gig version off the play store for 450 after tax
I do have an upgrade though... May buy an iPhone 5s for two hundred and sell it on eBay for 600 to recoup most all of the cost of the nexus. Still deliberating that though.
