HongDa Power 3600mAh Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery

I have one of those HongDa Power 3600mAh extended batteries for the Galaxy Nexus GSM... I'm a noob so I can't post a link to it, but they sell them as "hongdapower799" on ebay.
It's a 3600mAh extended battery for the GNex GSM version made by some company in Hong Kong. Battery Monitor Widget Pro estimates it between 2600-2750mAh, which is a nice, big improvement. I definitely notice an increase in life. It sucks that we can't get the Seidio 3800 battery with GSM, but at least we have something.
Does anyone else have one of these? What kinds of estimated mAh values do you get in Battery Monitor Widget?

Oh yeah... Also, has anyone tested this battery out with the Seidio extended Surface case designed for use with their 3800mAh battery? I ordered one and I'll test it out and post the results here, but if anyone has tried this and failed, I'll just send it back without opening it, lol.

I can't find this Hongda Power battery.

Here is the ebay listing for the battery:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3600mAh...Nexus-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/260921234182
And here is the listing for the Seidio case:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-surface-extended-case-black-p/csr2ssgnlx2-bk.htm
I have confirmed that the Seidio case is indeed a PERFECT fit with the phone containing the Chinese battery. Like PERFECT. And the battery is consistently rated at over 2600mAh. Not only that, the battery was a replacement for another one I got from HongDa which didn't have great capacity. The guy sent me another without charge. This combo is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to get more battery life on a budget!

So, if I understand you correctly, you got a battery with really poor capacity followed by good customer service and a replacement battery that consistantly achieves ~70% of it's rated capacity. And this qualifies for a high recomendation.
I'm not suggesting anything bad (or even out of the ordinary) regarding this seller or this battery, but I think that as consumers we've become far too accepting of battery shenanigans all around.

Just curious. How did you determine that it is rated at ~2600mAH (which is 25% of what it is advertised at) ?

[Q] Best battery solution without extended battery

I've been trying to find a good solution for when I need alot of battery power.
I found these on ebay:
2300mAh battery
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2300mAh-Batt...341204?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d1945354
2800mAh external battery charger
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-2800mA...649840?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4167480eb0
Since the standard battery is only 1500mAh, I should see an increase from the 2300mAh battery, but I don't know how much.
The second one seems like it would give me even more, just with the downside of having to carry it around when I think I'll need it.
Any ideas?
I just don't want to give up my Trident case.

both fake chinese lies. biggest standard size is mugen 1600
. however its about 1/2 mm bigger than Samsung stock so if you want to combine with wearable jacket batt.
best value are deji. I can send you one for £15. the cheaper ones are crud. another trick is lying on the %

I agree, I wouldn't trust these. If you can afford it, Mugen batteries are (from what I've heard) good, and they have one that is 1800Mah that'll fit under the standard battery cover.

i9100P extended battery

Hello everyone.
I've been searching the internet without finding a definitive answer to my issue.
I have a i9100P from orange uk, which means a bit thicker battery, different cover, and NFC.
Now let me get this strait away.. I do not care about NFC.
What I have gathered around the net and xda.. (true or not I do not know):
1. Normal 2000 mAH samsung battery cover does not fit. Cutting the case seems a solution.
2. There is a reboot/bootloop issue when you plug in the charger when fitting a normal 2000 mAH battery on a 1900P NFC enabled phone.
3. Korean 2000 mAH NFC EB-K1A2EBSG battery works (cover does not fit at all)
4. EU 2000 mAH not NFC EB-K1A2EBEGSTD (cover fits with modification)
5. I do not like non samsung battery replacements
I only wish to purchase a higher capacity battery than the standard one I have.
any successful stories?
anyone with a i9100P and using 2000 mAH battery?

Also very interested to find out which genuine extended battery will fit this device having just picked one up. Was going to get the regular extended batt for amazon but will hold fire...

or anyone currently with any type of extended battery on i1900P NFC ?
or Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Extended Battery Power Pack Case (does it fit?, normal slim cases do not properly fit on the i9100P).
Although this one seems a pain because in constantly charges the phone, which in turn wakes up all the time to tell you that it is fully charged, and in this way it depletes the battery.. and on and on....

Also done a bit of research on this with no luck.
Will the EU EB-K1A2EBEGSTD battery cause the boot loop?? Do you have a link to what sort of mods are required to the case?

I read it somewhere about the bootloop.. cannot seem to find the link anymore.
The case does not fit properly (about less than 1 mm so not a perfect fit).. some have resorted to cutting parts of it with a knife and some others skipping the case and using a tpu cover.. based on this, am I to assume that even on third party kits (battery&case) the case does not fit properly?

still not sure of my options...
cannot believe that no xda user has any successful stories...

I do have Samsung Official Extended Battery (from Amazon).
And pretty happy with it! You don't even notice that you have it, as the cover fits perfectly on the phone. I also have the official case and cannot be happier with both!

I1900P battery
Does anyone know where to get hold of a replacement battery for the 1900P? I am experiencing random shutdowns and have tried the paper trick to wedge the battery in the case. As this replacement phone doesn't have the yellow screen problem I want to keep it rather than return it. I bought mine 3 weeks ago from Orange online and this is the 4th replacement in these weeks to get a screen without the yellow tint.

Battery Advice

Hey guys with so many options and reviews I am so confused on which battery to get. Currently I have the 4200 hyperion battery but honestly it is way to big for me and I miss the slim GS3 feel. So whats the best standard battery to get, should I get an regular Samsung 2100 or maybe the anker 2200? Also what is the best slim charging case out there? I found one on ebay for 16 but dont know how reliable that will be.

I'd say get the Anker 2200, slight improvement over stock while keeping the original size.

Okay cool and, whar, kind, of external, charger, case, do you recommend?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I don't really use charging cases so I wouldn't know. I use the Anker 4400 so I don't need any charging devices, personally I don't really find it adds that much bulk with extended batteries.

I just bought a cheap 2300mha replacement battery + an external charger on Ebay. Total costs were like 6 Euros. I will test them and provide you with details once they get to me

or you can wait for the 3000mah samsung battery coming up next month
It will stay slim

I saw some pictures of the 3000 battery on one site but showing that Samsung has not released it yet I don't know if I should use that as guide material. However, the picture shows that the battery is ever so slightly thicker. Your phone may work on a soft case but a hard case, not so much. But eh, we will see once it comes out. COME ON SAMSUNG LETS GET IT OUT HERE!

I have found out from Samsung website themselves that the new 3000 battery will come with an extended cover so it will increase in size for sure. So any other choices for slim battery if not i think i might go with the anker 2200 over the OEM!

ive got an 2400 motec battery and im pleased with it
its slightly bigger than the stock battery but fits the stock cover aswell

[Q] Extended battery?

I tried googling, but to no avail. Does anyone know of an Extended Battery Kit for the Active?

I've yet to see one because I doubt anyone (meaning a company) will be able to create one that retains the water-resistant capability of the GS4A. Your best bet may be the Mugen 2750 mAh battery for the GS4 which appears to be the highest capacity that still retains the stock battery size. That's pretty much the best and only option for any "extended" battery runtime.
Oh, and if you see anything on eBay or wherever that claims higher than the Mugen at 2750 mAh run from 'em 'cause they're BS as always.

Extended battery
Its not even available on Amazon....waiting for Anker to launch one...

A little pricey, and not sure of the actual specs, but here is one I found on Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3700mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item338648e7ab
I just did a quick glance. You can look around more if you please.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...ery&_nkw=S4+active+battery&_sacat=0&_from=R40

I wouldn't trust that any further than I could throw it.
If Mugen can't get 3700mAh into a standard size GS4/GS4A battery, ain't nobody else going to be able to do it either, that's my position. Mugen makes a 2750mAh as I noted above and that's pretty much the best we're going to get for the GS4A. That so-called 3700mAh model, nah, I don't believe that capacity for a single moment.
If someone wants to take a chance on it, however, more power to you (pun very much intended).
For us GS4A owners, the Anker or Hyperion dual battery (meaning you get 2 of 'em) and charger setup is probably going to be the best for 'extended' battery life most likely. I'm still considering that myself but I've got 3 batteries already (one Samsung official that's a few weeks old and 2 cheap Chinese counterfeit ones without NFC capability).

Zero Lemon 3000 for I9295
I tried Zero Lemon 3000 for I9295 (Galaxy Active), but it too sick for this model.
Even when i removed paper from battery it looks like no 100% feet.

You won't retain your water resistance, but I've used the ZeroLemon 7500mah in my S4 Active and wrapped electrical tape around it to keep it in place.
Not the prettiest looking, but the battery life is out of this world.
I bought the S4 Active for the LCD screen anyways, not for the water protection.

New from Mugen - 5500mAh

No Extended battery for one person do. If you really want, the factory can do it.
