So... I bought a cheap "extended" battery for my glorified wifi hotspot and I plug it in and this is what it says. I found it funny, so I thought I would share.
I'll report on battery life as I go through the first few charging cycles
I use my OV for Pandora and as a wifi hot spot at work. So take my numbers with a grain of salt.
For 10 bucks, if it even does an hour over my stock battery, I'll be happy. I planned on using both anyway.
If the battery life is fantastic, I'll be buying another one, and an external charger. If anyone has a recommendation on a external charger, that'd be awesome. Preferably one thay is universal so I can charge all my extra batteries with it. (Note 2 stock, Rezound extended, Rezound stock, misc camera batteries)
My friend is giving me his Rezound and says that it has a hard time charging, so I figured an external charger would be best until I ca diagnose the problem and fix it.

Try the clibration after at least 3 complete charge and discharge cycle to obtain a stable result for a new battery...
That's ugly!

To the OP.. please post your details findings/observation to us..
and also the battery price, heat, charge time and weight too.. Thanks!
is there a hole for the noise canceling microphone on the cover?
Bought it for $20 on Amazon just to see how long those extended batteries last. Here's the first 100% to 5% run since I've received the battery 2 days ago.

As you've probably noticed, I use the phone more as a portable computer/gps/media-player than an actual phone so that's why screen-on time is quite low. No need to have display on when jamming music So yeah, personally I wouldn't use this as my daily driver since the battery bulge looks and feels horrid but I guess for some people the great battery life and the $20 price tag will be a fair trade.
Enjoy!
any pics????????
Didn't see a need to take them. Just search Google or XDA and you'll find more pics that you'll ever need ;-)
I can but i would like to see a hyperion battery lol
I'm looking for a quality external battery charger for my E4GT
I have some cheap-o one that looks like it was made in China and it take 16 hours or so to get a full charge on it. Anyone have any suggestions or can point me to one that doesn't take all day to charge? I need it because the guy who repaired the charging port once pretty much destroyed the contacts to the mainboard, so it is now irreparable. I don't think Sprint would cover under the TEP since it has been opened (I had it repaired once when it wasn't covered under the TEP).
If you are looking for a great battery charger, check out Anker battery expert. It has worked very well. I found it online for about $15.

Edit: I have been using this charger nearly every day since September 2013. I use 2 batteries, and alternate between them. My phone won't charge by usb after flying off the dash of vehicle while pluged in.

"Smooth like Butta"
I noticed this yesterday when I was out in the field. First, when I got to work, my battery went from 100% to 25% in the amount of time it took me to drive for 25 minutes. Then, when I plugged it in, it didn't really seem to be charging. Something was draining the battery while plugged into the wall socket, still. When I had it connected to a computer USB, it slowly went down.
I took the battery out, put it back in, connected the charge cable and was presented with this image.

I've never seen that before, but I'm guessing something inside the battery has gone kaput. And, this is the battery that came with the phone and I have only been using the Samsung charger that came with it as well.
I'm pretty sure it is the battery, so no big deal, I have my eye on the Anker 4400mAh battery which is only $21 off Amazon, or the Zerolemon for $40.
That's crazy, I've never seen that before either.

This charger is amazing Firstly it comes fully stored, It fits in the palm of my hand, it feels smooth and cold like a stainless steel, and It charged my phone without loosing a bar light It was able to charge my alcatel one touch f2 from 22% to 100% in less then a hour , also my motorla moto g from zero to 3% in 2 minutes. The small usb cord that came along with it is quite durable even though its small its the perfect fit for a portable charger. Without the incovience of having a long cord in your pocket/bag. I am very impressed by this gadget and I highly recommend for anyone to buy it. :fingers-crossed: It can charge android type phones or devices with the similar outlet to charge it . :good:
