that's great, but verizon sells them for less, right in the store.

I'm in Canada so eBay was my only option...

I've even requested Mugen and this is the response I got:
Thank you for your email!
I think this model will release on next year,
I am no sure the mAh for this model yet, still on planing at the moment.
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,

Checking the power usage, most if it is being used by you guess it...
The display. For me this number flirts around 50%. That's a boat load of usage compared to everything else!
I guess Motorola didn't choose an energy efficient panel.

I was rather amazed to hear that the screen sucks so much battery! Thought a 3.1 low-res screen would rather give a better battery life.
May be a custom ROM with some tweaks can take care of this.

I'm going to leave brightness on about 40% for the day and see what happens. I normally have on auto brightness, and my usage does show the display using about 50% of the juice.

Yeah with respect to the display I don't think an HTC phone would be that high... Odd choice moto!

Eh, sometimes the Hero got up in the 30-40% display usage

how much thickness does the extended battery add? it's hard to tell from the picture, but it still looks like the there is the raised portion at the top of the device for the camera

Not much... I hardly even notice its there. The new battery backing even keeps a slight curve as the original slimmer one did.
I'm really happy this is an original Motorola product and the battery cover / door looks just like the thin one with the silver swirls and all.

cool. might have to pick one up from my local store.

Hi to everyone,
is there any lucky owner of Motorola Extended battery who can tell me how thick is phone with extended door? I ask one seller and he tell me Droid Pro with this original extended battery is about 1/2" thicker than with standard 1420 mah battery. But after I have read this thread I think it must be nosense. But there is no exact infor and no photo anywhere. Thanks a lot!

I'm really surprised to read about everyone having battery problems. I wouldn't describe myself a heavy user, but I do make several calls, send and receive a boatload of texts, have widgets that require data pulls set for every 30 minutes, do a small amount of internet browsing, and use the mp3 player for an of hour or so while working out and I have had nothing but amazing battery life. Being a BB convert a couple of devices ago, I can say with certainty that this, being my 3rd Android phone, has the best battery life so far. I usually unplug around 6am and by 11pm, I'm still at about 60-70%. No android device that I know of can touch the battery life of a BB, but this one has been very good so far.

It adds more weight than thickness imo. The battery is probably 1/8" thicker and the soor the same. Probably adds 1/4" more thickness overall, but there is a great weight different to me. Seem to hold a good charge though. Worth the $34 to me.

im really interested in this
please post a picture, only with extended door and battery one from the side

I'm waiting for:

Has anyone tried to fit the otterbox in w extended battery? May try to hack up the case so it will fit when i get it

I was able to cut out the back on the standard cover for the extended battery to stick out, and the otterbox seems to fit fine. If you don't want to cut your back cover, you can just leave the back off since the otterbox protects it, though I still like the idea of having an internal cover. I may go back and put some sort of rubber seal around the battery opening just in case. Will post pics later

Has anyone tried the 3500 mAh battery?

I'm talking about this one in particular http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Battery-w-Back-Cover-for-Samsung-i9000-Galaxy-S_W0QQitemZ320642414034QQcategoryZ20336QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D150530966762%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6337310703353388548 that comes with a replacable albeit horrid looking back piece.

Would it even work with the Captivate? It looks like a completely different shape for the back (although the description does say i9000).

captivate = I897
no i this back is for the i9000 which the whole backplate is different, the battery will not work sorry

yeah that battery wouldnt event fit with the captivates lock on the batery door. the baig batteries for the captivate have a step on the bottom and the battery door is even uglier because of the extreme angles they need to make to clear it

Question for those with a white 2000mah official extended battery

Question for those with a white 2000mah official extended battery
I received mine today from Amazon. and the top part of the new backing didn't clip into the phone. I've sent it back for a replacement. My question is, has anyone experienced this before or was I just unlucky and got a faulty cover? I have the I9100p (the NFC) model and was wondering if there is a compatibility issue?
Many thanks!

Hi,
Had exactly the same issue - I also have the 9100P and the back cover is slightly changed from the 9100 , the tabs on it are deeper and the extended back will not fit correctly.
I have yet to find an extended battery designed for the 9100P , ebay , amazon etc all sell the standard one. . .
I have also found that the phone does not fit well in all cases - again the back appears to be very slightly deeper??
Sorry cant be more helpful. .
All the best

thanks for the reply matey
looks like ill have to cancel the order for the extended battery

extended battery that makes the back of the phone flat without that curve?,i hear some have their clips at different positions, i dont know why samsung did this, i havent brought one due to this.

I bought the Andina battery 2000 maH and it works just as well as well as the Samsung and same size as original

I know there are a few people having problems with the fit of the new back cover for the extended battery but here's how i solved my problem.
I don't know about anyone else but my original battery cover actually fits although it is tight and there is a ridge in the back of the cover because of the thickness of the bigger battery. I got round this by using a nail file to file down the thicker plastic end caps at the top and bottom so they are flush with the thickness of the actual battery body i also rounded off the sharp edges. it doesn't give you much maybe just 1mm but it's enough to get a decent fit.
i hope i've explained that ok

pics? what to file?

Hold the battery side on you can see the top and the bottom plastic ends are just a little thicker than the battery body, they are the places to file but don't go mad. You'll only get about a millimeter but it's all you need. I've done it on my black i9100 and my daughters white one although the black battery cover is a little more flexible and easier to get on.

I have a similar problem with the black extended battery back cover I bought for my Orange I9100P. I got it from Amazon UK and I got a Korean NFC battery but the back cover from the UK battery just doesn’t snap in properly.
The bottom left just won’t snap in for some reason. The strange thing is that my mother has a SG2 from O2 the I9100 version and it fits perfectly into that phone. Is there a difference between the two models or is it a manufacturing fault with my phone? Should I send it back to Amazon for a replacement or should I be sending the phone back?
I have two pictures with the back cover on my phone, one with me pressing it down and the other with it loose but I'm not allowed to link to URLs yet. So if you want to see them go to imgur with this after the .com a/kaflG

this is the same as me it wont snap on right, i have even shaved the bits on the back off and still wont fit in right or the bottom left to.
i tried bending it a bit as well with still same of not fitting in right

I have i9100 and my girlfriend the i9100p.
I use the official extended battery and it stays on but not perfect. It does not fully snap on at the top.
It will not stay on at all on i9100p so I don't think there is a fault at all here it just seems that the p is slightly different for some reason and the back covers provided with the larger battery are just not that well made.

i've bought mine from samsung mobile store. No problem at all and fits perfectly

I bought mine @Amazon.
Fits just perfect

I may be wrong but I heard that the battery of the i9100p hosts the antenna of the NFC. Hence the different size with the i9100.
So, appart from your problem, changing the battery will mean that your NFC won't work anymore.

new battery for xperia play

hi.. do someone here know if there is a better battery for the xperia play that doesn't change its size?
Sent from my R800i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

I have a fat 3600 and the stock. Just a word of caution. If you buy a battery that's listed as a higher rating then then stock battery but its the same size. Be warned the battery can give you issues as they cram more juice into the same size the following things can occur. I bought a battery same size as stock and it listed it as 1800. I had excessive heat issues the batteries output to the phone was not a consistent steady flow of power and caused games and my phone to glitch to the point using the phone was almost unbearable. But when I switch to stock or to the fat 3600 battery everything was golden. So just be careful. I would never get another battery that was more power but same size. I lost $20 on that battery. Not saying I don't buy aftermarket barriers. My 3600 is not a mughen but one of those batteries for $17-20 on Amazon from Hong Kong and of works great. I also have a 2600 battery as well. Anyways again be careful of what you and for me never buy a larger capacity battery shoved into the same form factor as stock. Too many issues.

i want a better battery , i have no problems with increased size , its the no cover thing that bothers me.
I dont drop my phone a lot but if i ever did , i would like some protection .

I think that way too. I don't want my phone to be without a cover, I have a great cover now that costs a lot and I don't want to throw it...
Sent from my R800i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

I love my gigantic eBay battery and huge cover, but only once my original battery is pretty much dead.
I would never use the thing full time, though.. it's just way too big and unsightly.

Does anyone know if the 3600mah extended batteries will still allow the Xperia Play to fit in the DK300 Sony dock? There's a lip on the back but I think it only covers the silver side part, so it might still fit.
If anyone has both an extended battery and the dock and could clear this up for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

It looks like it might fit - it'll be close, that's why I'm asking, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually tried both, rather than just conjecture.
I already have the dock, but not the extended battery.

No, it does not look like it will fit. Go ahead and buy it, let us know!

una decilucion
would be excellent to take out a battery with greater capasidad and that is the same size but the manufacturer is not the idea occurred to them yet .. such as the Motorola Razr has 3300 mAh and Maxxx is so thin .. : (

Success!!

Battery case for the Z3 Compact?

I very much want to increase the battery of my Z3 Compact as much as possible, I don't care if I double its size in the process
Although the battery time is tolerable, I think a nice 4000mAh battery or two would work great with the energy saving algorithms of the Z3.
Does anyone know if there is any cases available that let me do that yet? If not , would it be possible to adapt another readily available case for my personal use?

I've not seen any power cases for the Z3c and I doubt any will be released considering the niche status of the phone. Best option is probably a portable USB power pack.

Same here. I always have some juice in my backpack in form of a usb power pack. Charges pretty quick and also usable as a ac charger. For outdoors there are solarchargers. Much more comfortable as a powercase.

I also think it is a little strange that there is no pictures of it. There is pictures of the Z3 power case though. If that is in any way an indication of how the Z3C case will look I think is a bad decision not to make the case cover more of the phone for protection purposes. The phone will end up being bulky anyway with the battery case on, so why not extend the battery case so it offers proper protection against the phone being dropped?

Don't know if it will fit the z3c, i will do some research to know if it fits or not, my main concern is the cut for the camera and flash, because both share almost identical dimensions

It looks like the Mugen one does not have any addon/swappable parts to fit Z1C/Z3C. To me, this would suggest that the above brando case would fit Z3C too. And that would suggest that the cheap chinese Z1C battery cases would also fit.
Have you done any research?

I'm currently shopping for a new smartphone, and the availability of a battery case is a deciding factor for me. Your post is the only thing I could find on the internet about the Mugen Z3 compact battery case, so I was wondering if I could ask a few things to help me decide.
Does the case fit on snugly? Does it clasp on properly or does it fall off? It charges using the magnetic terminals on the middle of the phone's side, and not the micro USB port, correct? Presumably the flaps that cover the microusb don't get in the way of the case?
Has the actual performance of the backup battery been up to scratch?
Thanks for your feedback about the thickness but I don't really mind about that as I'd be using the battery case for travelling and situations like that.
Some extra photos from different angles would be very much appreciated. Feel free to email me at mark a h 9999 at gmail if that's easier for you than replying here. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here is a review by one of the users, i hope it will be helpful for You:
Better than the one I had for my z2. Very precise fit with no movement in the battery case. I view this as a clip on extra battery rather than a protective case.
When I need charging I don't want to be connected to a battery pack with a cord...been there, press and hold on switch means no accidental turning off.
I use my z3 for shallow underwater photos and couldn't have a phone with removable battery and leaking battery doors. Double cost of other brand but you get what you pay for!

Sorry, I don't have the case anymore. I decided to get a Xiaomi power bank and sold the case for 2/3 the price since I wanted to use Devilcase. The Mugen was worth the money. All 3200mAh are there. The feel is pretty good as well with a rubbery matte finish and heavier overall weight that's definitely gonna prevent you from dropping the phone anytime soon.
