Dude u do not need a bigger battery for this phone. look online for things u can do to increase ur battery life. trust me, i tried and my battery life increased big time. by the way the bigger battery u bought and the back cover that comes with the battery make this beautiful phone looks like crap. this is not worth it bro. return the case.

Lol,
Turn off gps, bluetooth, wifi,
Turn down screen brightness,
Turn off haptic selection, audiable tones.
Tirn off anamation and 3g data.
When not useing the phone go ahead and power it down.
Turn off vibrate with ringer and enable silent mode.
Is that what you had to do?
Btw i know that from 9MM TO NOW 12MM IS NOT UGLY.
You make me sick. And your hijacking my post
Please do not put me down because my phone is a bit thicker but last double the time it used to. And thats with the above features turn to max

Dont worry about the complainers fnakfhe .
I bought a 3000mah battery with back plate. (My posts on this version are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8135991&postcount=49 )
But its way cheaper than the Mugen one.
I do admit,in the pics its not exactly 'pretty' being fatter but hey,for that cheap price (about AUD $25!) I cant complain. (I coudnt justify spending USD$99 on the Mugen one)
So yeah.I just had to try it out. Anyway,Im still waiting for it to arrive.
(I did contact the seller and he said it was resent on the 14th so Ill have to wait a it more)

I ordered that one too. He refunded me cuz there was some technical difficalties with the battery. Then a week later he emailes me back saying the priblem is now fixed.
So i did order it again.
The idea is to never have to charge my phone but to just charge the batterys useing a desktop battery charger from ebay. It was only eight dollers.
I did not get the second ebay battery and charger yet. Ill keep you posted

Wow,'power overload '
As for the desktop charger.I got one of those wall chargers.Well actually a package,came with the wall charger.2 OEM 1500mah batteries,USB Cable and he also threw in 3 screen protectors.(Came today in the mail)

LOL!! I love it. I agree with you. What's the point in having a smartphone with all these cool features if you have to turn them off. I personally couldn't afford the mugen one, and because I couldn't find a phone cover for the added thickness (if I purchased the 3000 mah off ebay) I opted for 3 additional OEM batteries with a desk charger.

I have just installed tasker - and it switches these things on and off for me, when I need them - I think thats a good idea save battery and have a small battery.
But, I would consider getting a bigger battery if I needed it to do all my stuff I do in a day.
currently have a lifetron 5200maH battery just in case
Just wondering how long these batteries are lasting you? What's your average usage? Are you guys power users? Are you using it for business & play (ie: browsing, phone calls, gaming.. )?
The stock battery is giving me about 19hrs, give or take, with moderate to heavy display usage (damn word feud and xda apps lol). Using the hybrid rom with brightness set low is the only tweak that I had to shut off. Running a black BG, but have 6 widgets on my desktops.
If your reports are good I might actually look into getting something with higher capacity.

Extended battery, with battery cover, 14.99, but says i9000, will it fit galaxy s
Hey, so here is a battery for the Galaxy S i9000, thought maybe it would fit the vibrant
http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extende...789421?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1ced
edit:
it says won't fit the vibrant if you scroll all the way down
ps, why does it say fits only unlocked i9000, what does being unlocked have anything to do with the physical body?

can you provide the links where you purchased from, how do the batteries work so far, does the cover fit?
I personally have all features maxed out and use it on and off all day at work and my battery life seems just fine, i usually don't have to charge it from about 7am to eh 11pm @ night? fair usage on talk time and possibly taking a few breaks through out the day to play a couple games

the update i posted in my OP is for the 3200mah batt. i got it from:
http://mugenpoweronline.com/product_info.php?products_id=790
the cover for that one is **** quality. nothing like orignal. but i dont care about looks at this point i just need more power.
and i ordered one 3000mah from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390237789421#ht_500wt_674
its still not here yet, i dont know if the case will fit, but if worse comes to worse i will just use the back cover case from the $99 battery and use it with the 3000mah one.
also this is the other one i ordered:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370432210306#ht_1465wt_662
I bought an extended battery for certain occasions where conserving power isn't an option...mainly vacations, etc
a full day of the screen on, looking through itineraries (and line apps), and snapping photos really drains a battery at Disney World, and it's not like you can really recharge.
Got my 3000mah battery for my Galaxy S today.
See my last post in this thread here for some info:

Case available for vibrant extended battery
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the vibrant with the extended battery.
I am getting one and will let you people know how it works.
Okay since I am still a newbie I cannot post pictures or links...... I understand.
PM me and I will e-mail pics of the extended battery case from moretalktime (e-bay or dot com); on the phone, off the phone, ect.
This is a case, not a cover for extended batteries lets keep that clear.
I am happy to say it is molded well, and fits my phone nicely, since it comes over the edges onto the front about 1/4" it is a little bit of a pain to wrestle the phone into the case but that is fone because I want a snug fit. The cut outs for the buttons are generous and well placed with the buttons centered in the cut outs not off to one side like many cases I have used in the past. The color is a dull flat -black, with only a small recessed company name on the back twords the bottom.
All in all nice work at a nice price, my hats off to the vendor.
I am purchasing an additional case for my little sister (who has the same phone and set up) who is much more of a "casual user" and is currently using a modified Trident Case (Cyclops model) that I cut out the back for her extended battery cover.
Unfortunately due to my new status I'm unable to post links. However if you google "2900 mah battery Samsung galaxy s iii " the product should come right up. Any chance this battery could be real? In the probable scenario that it's fake, can anybody recommend an extended battery for me that doesn't require a separate door?

Not bad, but not great either
I have a couple of these batteries.
The Good: They're cheap and they work just fine.
The Bad: In my opinion they are a result of "creative labeling"; they last about the same as the stock battery are NOT 2900mAh.
The Ugly: When charging in a powered-down phone overnight, they never fully charge (the light on the phone never turns green). I have advised the seller about this, and they are sending me a replacement; I do not have high hopes for it.
I'm thinking of turning my GSM Nexus into a "mobile computer" - I'm running ParanoidAndroid in tablet mode and already have an OTG cable that I've confirmed works with my 32GB USB drive, and I also have a wireless hotspot with a 32GB microSD card (I connect to it via Wifi and it kinda acts as cloud storage); I intend on adding a bluetooth mouse and keyboard at some point, but that still leaves the extended battery and a case for it.
I was originally thinking of the OEM extended battery and an Otterbox case, but from what I understand, the OEM extended battery isn't much bigger and wouldn't offer much longer battery life. In terms of extended batteries with NFC, which have cases to go along with the big battery backs that come with the batteries? I'd love one that features a kickstand too.
And in terms of extended batteries in general (talking about quality brands like Mugen and Seidio, not cheap brands), does the increase size/mAh actually correlate well to the extra run-time, or should I only expect a ~150% increase in battery life for a ~200% increase in size (or something of the sort)?
After battling with poor battery like on my last 6 android phones and trying tons of different batteries. I finally found a system that works for me. I bought 2 spare batteries and a battery charger for my Gnex (LTE) and it's been the best setup yet. I keep the slim profile of my phone and have enough battery power to get through the day with one battery in the phone and one spare with me.
Everyone will ***** about having to pull the back off and swap but it takes 2mins max from shut down to booted back up. And I would rather have my phone be slim then a monster with a huge extended battery.
The other thing I did was I got one of those AA battery chargers for my phone and I will keep one in my car and one in my bag with 2 of my eneloop batteries in it just in case I have an emergency of some kind and need a little extra juice. I very rarely have to use those for myself, but they have come in handy for others quite frequently.

I appreciate the thought, but I honestly don't care about adding thickness to the phone (its a bit too thin if you ask me - I don't care for this thin phone trend at all), and carrying a replacement battery is a PITA because I don't always carry a bag or are in a car (and I don't really have the pocket space for it) and I'd have to take off whatever case I have on the phone (which would be a pretty lengthy process if I'm using an Otterbox or other such case).
Check this. He reviewed the 3900mAh battery for Nexus (Verizon/Sprint) from Mugen.
The international has 4000mAh and it's here
Magus, did you ever find your solution?
I'd be interested to hear what worked for you.
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?

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!

do you have i1900P with NFC or a regular i9100?
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.
So I was chatting with Anker due to needing to get a replacement for a 4400mah battery that started to swell at 12 months and they offered to let me join their power user group and test their new 7200Mah battery, I received the battery in exchange for a fair review which I will be providing here and on Amazon.
I plan on doing some testing using these to drain and monitor:
1) battery drain
2) battery monitor
I also plan on seeing what kind of real life I can get out of it.
I will do several pictures of the battery and case for width compared to an OEM, and a 4400 MAH batteries as well as the size installed.
I have the seidio active with kickstand case, and I'll also compare it to the otterbox defender for the s3.
anyone else have any suggestions on what they'd like to see let me know.
it came about 50% charged so It will take a bit to fill and I have to go visit my Mother in the hospital (heart surgery) so I'll probably end up charging it overnight.
My initial impression is that the case is probably the nicest TPU case I've used, it could be somewhat difficult with a sizable case to get in and out of your pocket, but the back is polished so it doesn't grab as much but the sides are textured so it is easy to grip and I'm not concerned about having it slide out of my hand. The weight is substantial compared to a phone in a case with the standard battery, it is noticeably heavier than the 4400 mah and the siedio rugged case. It does feel as though it would survive a fall but I'm not likely to test it.
Initial charge from 15% to full took 8:52 I'm going to start Battery Drain now and see how long it lasts. It will be set to GPS on but not locked, Screen Brightness 100%, Bluetooth on, Wi=Fi on, and CPU load which seems to draw around 700-800MA/H. Comparisons are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843896 The Mungen 4600 was tested at nearly 6 hrs and the anker 4400 5:19
3 hours into the test, 79% this would be about where the stock battery would give up normally.
runtime screenshots since this is kind of like watching paint dry since this battery lasts so long
68% after 4:32 min
Also 10 minute intervals for the charging and discharging.
this thing is unstoppable. still going 12+ hours later
there was around 40 minutes where a missed call kicked it off of battery drain as you can see but it still has 13% left at this point.
i'm going to have to rethink how to test this battery since it is lasting so long.
I let it keep going until it died last night, so it took a while to charge up today. Just over 1% an hour in normal use, which would put it over 3 days but less than 4 on one charge.
- 24 hours in: 3 hours screentime with internet use, updating apps, and other normal use. 74 % 1.1%usage per hour.
- 48 hours in: phone rebooted at 1d 9 hrs so not everything will look correct however I have added some shots of the built in battery use so you can see the chart and the screen use
- 72 hours in: 27% not much more to say, in fact just passed 80 hours and 15% left. i'll be charging at work tomorrow probably all day but i know it's not done yet.
How is the radio signals with this battery. One of the complaints on the Zerolemon 7000 is that it seems to interfere with LTE & phone antenna signals. Great job on reviewing the battery. I liked the case comparison photos. I'm using the seidio extended case right now with a 4400. I may get this Anker 7200.

I haven't noticed any signal issues, however I live in a good area, not fringe. I did a speed test and i have a shot of the signal as well. The combo you have is the same as what I use for extended battery. This is noticably heavier but the battery life is hard to believe. to make nearly 50 hours and be at 50% is crazy.

I don't mean any disrespect but that's not completely correct.
as the phone comes stock the NFC antenna is included in the battery. However, if you are on verizon and install the sim for isis payments you can switch to a non NFC battery and still have NFC.
In fact if you check with verizon there are plenty of verizon phones that do not natively come with NFC who, by using the NFC sim, will be able to use NFC. It is also the reason that apple hasn't bothered to include nfc in iphones as all they will need is the NFC sim and it will work and it will be magical
so yes, in the stock battery and most replacements NFC is included. in this battery it is not. which is not an issue to me on verizon as I have the NFC sim which superceeds the NFC antenna on the battery.
I just went and picked up an NFC enabled sim card from Verizon. I'm trying to use it with one of my batteries that doesn't support NFC but I'm not having any success.
Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? I'm skeptical this will enable me to use NFC without an NFC enabled battery.
I'm running CM11 official 12/27 and confirm that NFC works with my NFC enabled battery. I cannot get NFC to work with the new isis sim card and a battery that lacks NFC.
Thanks for this post, I ordered one last night from Amazon.
amazing product great performance however a tad to bulky i recently switched down from my zerolemon extended battery to carrying a standard spare and a 5star america external battery charger
its really nice. i have pix in my thread if you are interested. seems like a durable and safe case for the phone.

yeah i noticed that too.. i think 3 days battery life is overkill
i am thinking to just get extra regular battery that will fit with stock cover.
Just saying, shouldn't anyone who wants NFC buy a Hyperion or Zerolemon 7000 mAh battery instead? I am curious as if this one has any other advantages over the others besides the potential marginal gain of 200 mAh. The Hyperion is apparently the cheapest of the three at $34.99.
