Crazy 3800mAh battery - should I try my luck?

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.

Wonder if it's any good.. Anyone bought this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I was excited about seeing this. Evidently made by Generic (or maybe just sold by them). Not seeing many good reviews of the company.

I bought it. Oddly the offer links you to this case: www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-power-bank-external-battery-case-2200-mah.html
This clearly isn't the 3200 from the offer. Of course I'm going to make sure I get the one that retails for $79.99. For 32 bucks, don't think it's that big a gamble unless it doesn't function at all. But if anyone has any experience with these cases, please do share!
EDIT: Placed order on black one of these http://www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-extended-battery-case-3200-mah.html

Got the offer from Google Offer and ordered one. I'll try it out for the price.

Surprised this thread is so quiet. I would have never bought this at full price or even considered purchasing a case like this. But the price is better than Samsung spare battery and charger and it's even bigger. So why not?

Oh, ok got it. Never used google offers checkout before. I'm concerned about how bulky this will make it. Anyone have any ideas of how bulky it gets?
I took a close look at the pictures and if you see the holes for the camera/speaker you will see how deep it goes before meeting with the device. Seems too thick for me.

Agreed, I'd never consider using something like this on a daily basis. Only for long travel days or weekend trips, anything where you won't be around a socket for awhile. Obviously there is a compromise between size and battery capacity. I think this would be easier than carrying around a spare battery and having to swap it out. However I've never used anything like this before.

I have been looking at this case. I am getting my phone in a few days. how much thickness did it add to your phone? I dont want to buy this then never use it because it makes it so thick. I have an iphone and have to have a case on because i hate how thin it is without one on there

I took delivery and immediately sent it back. They were selling it for 29.99 and raised the price to 79.99 just to make the deal more appealing. That's all you should need to know about how they do business. Luckily Google refunded my purchase without hesitation.
Now, the actual case is incredibly cheap feeling and looking. The stand is dinky and the best part is the back says "Sanmsung Galaxy S III". Yep, incorrectly spelled. There are plenty of these on ebay where you can clearly see the spelling mistake if you want to look for yourself. I found a YouTube review that elaborated on how much of a waste of money it was too. You get the point. Don't buy this product; do yourself that favor at least.
After ordering I did some reading about these types of cases in general. It seems that they waste a ton of the battery capacity in transfer via heat or otherwise. You're much better off getting a bigger battery which results in similar thickness anyway. I went with a 4200 mah qcell (about 20 bucks) and have been getting great results. The hyperion battery is good as well. Both have many endorsements all over this forum.
Personally, I wouldn't buy anything through this retailer ever again. I don't trust their pricing or their products.
EDIT: this is in regards to All 4 Cellular, not trait-tech

I bought 3200mAh Rechargeable External Battery Backup Power Case with PU Leather Cover for Samsung Galaxy S III, only $ 23.90,I think it is a good Galaxy S III External Battery Case.

REVIEW: Anker Battery 4400mah Extended Battery w/Cover

Hey fellas,
Ive been lucky enough for Anker to send me a 4400mah battery to test and review for you guys. I've used their batteries ever since the Sensation days and I actually have a 2200mah anker for a spare on the S3. They sent me a Pebble Blue back cover as they do not produce the white one yet. I have a two toned S3 hahah. I just wanted to post pics to give you guys an idea. I will be draing the battery today as it came with 57% out of the box. I will give it its first run tomorrow during my work day. Here are the pics, I will be posting 1st run results tomorrow then for the next few days after that. These batteries usually get better after a few cycles. The phone feels good in the hand, not too big. I just ordered one of those TPU extended battery cases to protect the phone while I am using the Extended Anker. Stay tune for some numbers and updates! Thanks!

Im supposed to get one too for reviewing. But you beat me to it
Sent from my SGH-T999

Forgot to add that it does not say NFC anywhere on the battery. I did go into settings and the NFC box still could be checked. I don't know if this battery has it as I do not use NFC. I'll contact Anker to make sure.

No NFC, jonathan confirmed it. Though i made some recommendations to them to have an option for it with a different price point. hopefully they hear me. Price for this one is about $19.99, i think that's pretty good with that price

Do you know how much thicker this makes the phone ? I am wondering what kind of case would fit this and also if it would still fit in a car holder.

Just double the size of the battery. Look at the pic I posted of the side view. I actually ordered a TPU case for extended batteries, should get here in a couple days. I'll post when I receive it.

Not quite... the Korean market S3 (SHV-E210) uses a different battery than the international / US version. Also the Korean market Samsung Flip Cover will not fit properly on the international / US version. The curvature or thickness of the units are ever so slightly different, so the back plate will not click securely into place on the international / US handset.
But if you don't include the Korean S3 model, then I believe you'd basically be correct.
It probably doesn't affect most people on this forum, but it's a significant exception to the rule that should be noted.

qi wireless request

hi just received my long awaited qi wireless pad from china only to find it does not include the receiver part that fits over battery,bahh!!!
does anyone know where i can purchase one from in the UK ,Dont want to wait all that time again ,your help would be greatly appreciated .

sorry, but that seems to be the only choice unless you can find an ebay seller who sells in the UK.
You might want to contact that seller to get them to ship the receiver pad to you.
I would've suggested against getting the transmitter from them to begin with though. apparently the 2nd gen ones are picky and unreliable.

cant believe how cheap the items are!!

Something you don't want to hear, is these receiver are becoming unreliable just like the transmitter, with cases reported to either DOA or stop working after a while with some of the new batches, there are some good new, it's only a small %.
Apparently it's all related to rushed production with bad QC due to great demand.
Mostly with the name 'Charmlink' printed on the front label, so it's best to ask if there is warranty for them.

Another option for Canada and USA buyers, this guarantees no bulky look because it replaces a new cover for you.:good:

that's pretty slick. Should have been stock from Samsung so cases were built off those specs. I would imagine any case that fits well won't work with that cover. Still pretty sweet setup.

that back piece will not fit with any case whatsoever. It's a different size and you'll either have to mod the case or the battery cover.
The receiver pad by itself would add a slight bump that can be circumvented with a more "restricting" case like the otterbox or the ballistic sg

That's because the new case makes the phone thicker, but no bulk because the bulk is hidden by the thickness of the cover..... That's why ,out of all those pics in the Ad, not one shows what the inside of the Cover looks like....LOL...they are thinking it will scare buyers off...lol.,...

got my Qi pad from Fasttech today. Ordered the 28th, shipped the 30th. Arrived today. Currently $14.80 shipped Also got the wireless charger from Nokia. $38 with company discount (otherwise about $50) from ATT or Verizon. Works like a champ.
Fun Facts
Fits under OEM cover. Small Hump, barely noticeable. (< 1/16 inch hump)
Diztronic TPU Matte Black Case fits great
Charges about 10% in 30 Minutes. Similar to plug.
NFC works fine. Zero issues.
for Reference, I am running DarthStalker X, Stock Kernel.

yup. the Qi receiver pad seems the be the best choice in terms of getting to put your own case of choice as well as not losing NFC at the same time.
I believe the charging speed is a little faster than usb but slower than AC (according to the receiver pad).
the more flexible cases seem to be the ones that can cope with the bump.

Could anyone recommend a trusted website or seller to by the charging pad from?

Battery Case for the One

I saw a few people were looking for a battery case for the One with one individual questioning mophie as to when theirs would be released. Apparently all they said was it'll get here when it gets here.
Well, I was going to post a link, but since I'm a nub I have to wait until 10+ posts. The case is on Best Buy's website with the SKU of 8577046. Doesn't appear to add TOO much bulk, and adds 2,500 mAh.

I'd be more inclined to get a power pack rather than a battery case.
Battery cases ruin the looks of phones and power packs are usable on other devices, too.

Are battery cases usually that expensive? The ONLY thing preventing me from buying the HTC One is the damned lack of extended battery. If a battery case was $50 or less, I'd totally drop the money on the One right now. But at $100, I might as well just get the S4 and an extended battery for $18.

So you'd buy a TOTALLY DIFFERENT phone because of the battery? The S4 with extended battery is still an S4, TouchWiz and all. The extended battery doesn't change the dynamic.

It would be nice if the Mophie was available now.

The S4 and One are mainly "TOTALLY DIFFERENT" superficially. For me, my main concern is performance based on the hardware. The internal hardware is nearly identical with the only differences being:
-S4 is overclocked (can be done to the One and get same benchmarks)
-Cameras (they're both fine for me; I don't take many pics/videos)
-Screens (AMOLED vs. SUPER LCD, both are fine for me)
-Software (I don't care what either one comes with. I'm putting an AOSP build on it ASAP)
The two things keeping me on the One side is the build quality and the awesome front speakers. I never use cases on my phones since I don't like the bulkiness and after getting an extended battery on my S2, I can't imagine going out without it anymore and that's what's holding me back.
The phone I'd love to have is the Xperia Z but it's got an older CPU and I doubt anyone is going to make a battery case for that one due to its design.
I'd make an exception on cases for the One if it had a battery but $100 is way over my consideration.

A 100 dollars for the case? What a rip.

Looks like they are finally taking orders on Mophie's site for the battery case. It does say "ships Mid May" though.
Also under the price it says:
Coupons void for this product due to limited supply.
