Has anyone tried these out? Not sure if you need an extended cover it doesn't say

why
it doesn't look like it has NFC plus you have Chinese writing all over it

Woahhh
Looks pretty sketchy to me

Wish there was someone here that has tested them before. Its a good price.

I have tested this gold batteries before. They do not hold more charge than an original samsung battery. I recommend using the samsung original instead of a gold one. They do not hold the charge it says.

Highest capacity battery w/no bulking???

Anyone know of one that's good quality, and doesn't bulk up the phone??

I believe someone on here got the nexus battery to fit. Its 2000 or 2100 mah. I can't remember which.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
So that would be the limit without having the extended bulky back cover?after that, you would need that extra cover??

As of right now it is. I haven't heard of anything else.

I got the extended galaxy nexus battery (2100mah) to fit however the back cover won't stay. Adds about 1mm thickness. I'm using a siedio case and it fits perfectly without the back case.

My Nexus extended battery fits perfectly and all the tabs click and stay. The bulge is also very minimal. For 24.99 at the Verizon Store, its the best deal for an authentic Samsung battery compatible with this phone. Don't know how long this 50% off 49.99 reg price will last.
Other posters had no problems with this extended battery fitting in their phones.

How much of an efficiency increase may we expect to see between 1850mah (or whatever we have stock) and a 2100mah? I can obviously do the math myself but does the efficiency grow exponentially or anything as the mah goes up?

Agreed I just received my battery from nexus today and it fits fine

No, it's linear. mah is a measure of amount of electricity stored, so more electricity is linearly more use time.
Thanks, electrical terms were never a strong point of study for me.

Why would you get that when Verizon is selling it for only 25$
Sent from my SGH-T989
Yeah, it was $26 and some change out the door, post-tax. Why would you buy it on eBay, pay more, THEN wait for shipping? Get it at the Verizon store.
Galaxy Nexus 2100mah battery from Verizon.
End of story on this.
Yes, the back does close and it works perfectly. Just don't drop the phone.
Anyone know how I can get the nexus extended sent to Canada?
I picked up one today at verizon in Vegas it was $27.01 after tax. So far so good, my back cover and case went on easily. Definitely worth it and now I have a spare battery, my original. DEAL!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Im not an expert on this so sry if this is a noob question. But if using the nexus battery, will this in the long run. Damage our phones? Are the voltages going into our phone the same as stock battery? Please if someone with knowlegde on this advise. Thinking of grabbing one? Thx

A Case like mophie

I was wondering if there was any case like my brothers mophie for his iPhone its a case that's portable and charges the battery on the go definitely something I want
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Ya would be perfect if mophie made a case for our phones, we need to bug them!

Yea I was thinking about emailing them cause I need one of those asap
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There is a case sorta like that. Think it's for the sensation but would work for us. It's not much of an increase iirc.

A quick search on Google found this on Android Central saying it will work.
I would consider it if the reviews weren't so horrible lml good find tho

Cheap extended battery from eBay

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

I have been rocking this battery and cover. It's a 3800 mAh battery with NFC. Here's the link from Amazon.com

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.
Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....

Just bought this battery. I've been using it about 3 days and followed battery calibration instructions. So far I'm really not that impressed by it. I've heard with extended batteries it takes a few days to settle in...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
So I hope yesterday was an indication as to how this battery will perform long term. We'll see.

Has anyone found a protective cover that will fit the new case for the bigger battery. I always like to protect the phone just in case it is dropped!

Replacement extended battery cover

After a month with my Hyperion 4200 the back cover cracked at the corners. I, like others who have this problem, really "baby" my phones so I agree that the issue is cheap manufacturing.
I emailed them asking if I could purchase a new cover but no response?
So Im wondering if anyone has a place to get one or a different extended batter cover they would recommend?
Also yes I searched, been an xda'er for a good little while and I read every page of a thread that interest me! I have tried the links for the sedio cover, but after making an account I can't find a button or link to order it!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
You have to call Seidio directly in order to order the back cover.

I purchased the Mugen Power extended battery for the T989. It's the exact same phone as ours, but it's the phone used by T-Mobile. It's an expensive battery, but it works well.

I had looked at the Anker battery before, but I don't think it ships to Canada. :/ Too bad, because it seems like a good deal!

As far as I know they do, I bought mine during last year's summer from amazon.ca and the batteries were shipped to me(Ontario) with no problems at all .

I saw those but it didn't say whether you needed a new backplate.
Do they fit under the stock plate? Or do you need a extended plate?

No need for extended backplate fortunately as batteries are same size as original.

Can you charge them in the phone or do you have to use the charger they provide with the batteries?
just a standard replacement battery
Does anyone know where i can get just a regular battery like the one that comes with the phone? it just runs out of battery quite quickly dont necessarily need a extended battery maybe if i had the cash.
