Hey guys! My town just got 4G and i was wondering what would be the best battery to get because i know that the drain on the phone is pretty fast with the lte connection. i already have the official Samsung extended battery.

I bought this from ebay, works very nice.
Genuine Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus GT I9250 2000mah Extended Battery Case + Cover
It keeps the phone to a very decent size and it also has the NFC built in.
I use it with MiNCO rom and I must say the battery life is amazing!
PS: This is for the GSM (GT-i9250) model, what is your model? I don't think it would work with the LTE model
The stock battery is just shot on my Galaxy Nexus and this one looks good how much time are you getting between charges, and does it make the phone bulky? Thanks in advance
Will that work with the Sprint version?
My Gnex is white... There is an extanded battery whith a white cover for it?

Just got my sprint gnex today and I am wondering if anybody knows of the highest charge extended battery that doesn't involve replacing the back cover.
Also NFC support is a must.

well there is a 2100 extended battery that comes with a new cover, but you can't even tell the difference and NFC works

Where?
If the Sprint battery is compatible with the Verizon battery then Verizon sells the 2100mAh for $25 at a store.

I don't have one either, but I think what's not compatible (without slight modification) is the Verizon back cover. I think the Verizon OEM battery would work fine on the Sprint device, otherwise.
Would be nice if Sprint launched with their own back cover and extended battery options.

The battery is a little larger than the 1850mah version that comes with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. However, the back cover doesn't fit perfectly. You'll have to use a nail clipper or something similar to cut off the 2 small plastic nubs to fit the Sprint phone. There is a little bit of a flex on the cover where the nubs were cut, so unless you have a phone case, like a Cruzerlite case, I would not recommend using this battery/back for the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus. It's not major though, so it's possible to live with it if you're not really picky about the fit not being perfect.
The original back cover for the 1850mah battery will not fit with the 2100mah battery.

Wonder if samsung might make one for sprint?
I recently bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus from Play store. Here are my questions :
- I heard about extended battery from samsung, how much it compare to the original one ?
- I'm going to buy SILICRYLIC Case from Incipio, can I use extended battery on that case ?
t.y
I made a thread about this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658422
Still waiting for mine to arrive which should be soon.
14% capacity over the stock battery. Most cases that have flex will fit.

Is there any problem with NFC if I use case ?
No.

I see there are cases for GSM and LTE version, (I know LTE is a bit thicker than GSM)
If I use extended battery for my GSM GN , will my phone fit in LTE case ?
Up .. need some help to buy right case

Hi,
I have searched but didn't find any information, and for good reasons... They former hasn't launched globally yet.
Would it be possible to use a SG3 battery in GNex? I understand the GNex is a smaller device, but could have same battery compartment as SG3?
Anyone tried? If it's possible, imagine the battery benefits... But me thinks Sammy is a little smarter than that
Thanks!

Why not just buy an extended battery.. basically the same capacity and a guaranteed fit.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just buy the GNex extended battery...
I wanted to get the Verizon one since it's pretty much OEM quality, but cannot ship to Canada...
I prefer to stick with OEM, which is why I am wondering if a battery swap could work... Hmmm

The Verizon battery won't even fit in your phone.

Verizon battery won't fit. The Samsung extended battery for the GSM model is OEM.
Where can I obtain the Samsung extended battery for GSM?
What's the capacity?
I am still interested in seeing if anyone had luck using SG3 battery in GNex...
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Samsung one is 2050mAh
It won't make a difference. Just buy a battery that is guaranteed to work.

They're all over eBay from Korean sellers, about $30-$35 right now including a new back cover (you need it).
The SGSIII one won't fit. Just buy the 2000mAh Samsung GNex one.
Just Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus OEM extended battery..
The vzw one won't fit.. you could always just buy a after market battery with the same mAh tho

Except aftermarket ones don't have the same MAh.
I am getting my S III on Thursday and was curious if the Nexus' OEM extended battery is the same as the SIII's. Both are 2100, but I am wondering if I could use that extended battery as a backup for the SIII.
Only one way to find out ...
Blazing Galaxy S3

I know the regular battery is not the same size. I believe the S3 is shorter and fatter, and the GN is Taller and narrower.....only by a hair. Literally. But it moves
Nope not the same size

Thanks, Do U Happen To have A Link For Amazon Or Ebay, Or Wherever U Found It?
I use the 3800 seido battery with NFC and it works fine. Just do a search on amazon. Don't buy generic Chinese crap. It won't last as long and its not a true 3800.
The supposed 2100 extended is a joke. The phone comes with 1850. They expect an extra few ma to last longer...don't bother.
I can go a full day with my seido. U pay a little more but its worth it to not have to charge all the time.

I believe you can search in Amazon the Samsung Spring Extended NFC battery or something along those lines, and it should come up. That's what I did with my Verizon phone.
