Hello guys,
2 months ago I bought the G3, after 3 weeks I returned it (because of the battery) and took an S5. I tested it for 3 more weeks and decided to return it as well because I was only thinking about the G3.
All good and nice until now: I decided what phone to buy and keep. I told myself I would buy an extended battery to solve the SOT problem. This is were my problem begin...I really love the quick circle case for G3, but I can't find one that works with an extended battery.
Does anyone knows any case or solution for using a quick circle case and an extended battery?
Thank you for all the answers.
There really isn't an option. All the decent extended batteries for the G3 are thicker and come with a bigger back cover or full case. None of them offer a quick circle case option.
I was afraid of this answer, but I was really hoping to be a way I can enjoy both options.

Dear friends,
After my recent tryst with Atom Life, I found the battery at sub-par level, so felt like buying another more powerful one for me. I searched on ebay & found someone in agency in Hongkong selling the battery.
Battery offered is of 2200mah & 2400mah. As per the seller it requires new back cover to fit the battery which comes along with the sales package.
My hesitation lies in the probability that may arise because of New battery & New back cover. I found people saying that there is some problem with batteries & cover don't fit well.
I call upon all of those who have been through this experience to come out with their views to if it is a nice option to buy a battery & is it safe or is the back cover fits well.
Hope my friends will help me in saving me in case its not the right option which would guide similar attempts of buying a new battery.
Kindly quote your price at which you bought your Battery.

Guyz please come out with your replies. I need your views as I have to finalise the deal in days to come.
Just wondering if anyone heard any word on if we'll be able to use all our accessories from the X with the X2? I am particularly interested in know if the case's, extended battery, and cardock will work. They appear to be very close in physical size.
The DX2 has almost exactly the same form factor as the DX. That means all cases and car docks will fit and just try the battery and see what happens, worst thing that could happen is it not boot
hey just wanted to let you know that i have a DX2 and yes everything from the DX fits the same.

Is the battery door exactly the same? I curious because if I get the DX2 I wanna get the powermat door.
All of the accessories will work, including the extended battery. Actually, the stock battery door is "ever so slightly" more outward than the original X door. With a "very" minor tweak to the door legs using some needle-nose pliers, I'm able to use my extended battery from my original X without having to use the extended battery door, and there isn't the pressure on the phone that the original X had when doing that (that caused the screen distortion problems). The door stays locked firm, but doesn't require any real force to open or close it that would cause worry about the battery being squeezed in too much. So now I have a stock looking X2 with the extended battery.
All the accessories work, but the battery covers do not match in color. I just purchased the extended battery, and the door on the X2 is black (like the rest of the phone) But the extended battery door is more grey. Im assuming the original X was this color. Hope they make a new door that matches the X2 Black Color

No need for it. Just *ever so slightly* bend the door arms outward.. we're talking like 1/4 of a millimeter, they *barely* need an adjustment. Then you can use the stock door with the extended battery. The stock door on the DX2 is slightly more outward than the stock DX1 door, so with the extra little help there isn't any pressure problems on the battery.

Good to know. For 30 seconds of my time, I'm running the stock cover with the exact same battery that they're selling now, without the extra hump, and for no extra money. Been a week now, still no screen problems. That little bit of extra room in the X2 stock cover, plus the little bit of leg coaxing, has given me a stock DX2 with the extra bit of juice. One of the few things I've liked about the DX2.
Not sure if this deal is still available but BGR reported a couple of days ago that for the DX2's launch week, the Droid X/X2 Essentials Pack (multimedia dock, car dock, car charger, longer wall charger, and HDMI cable) was available for $19.97 online. Purchased separately, those accesories would run you $145, so it's a pretty good deal for current DX owners. I ordered one and it's getting delivered today. Just an FYI for DX owners looking to save a buck or 125. :-D
I also ordered this and received it last week, fantastic deal, I already had a cardock so now I have one for each of my vehicles.
Hi Guys,
i purchased an Extended Battery Kit from Ebay.com its come from Korea
Battery fits and works perfectly, i cant confirm yet if it does any better than the standard battery but the rear cover doesn't fit. ive since read that theres a few different versions of the Kit....
Can anybody confirm where i can buy a Battery Cover that will fit my UK S2 that will work with the extended battery?
I recently made the same mistake. You probably have a different version of SGSII, may be the international version which is slightly different from the South Korean one. If you get a battery + cover kit that is non-NFC and for the International version, it should work.
I made the same mistake too. Any one who just wants the battery, PM me. I tried modifying the cover but it didnt fit. sigh.
Well...
My Standard battery would last for 10-12hours on a normal day (lots of Browsing,MSN,Facebook,Twitter,Some calls,Txt's and Youtube)
New Battery 1day and 2 hours !!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing
Anyway! All as i want is a European Battery Cover can anybody supply these??
metal cover galaxy s2
Is there a metal battery cover for galaxy s2?
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.

If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.

i have always used zerolemon with my note phones but this case is just too big for me. wish they would have just had a simple back part in the note 2 so im wondering if anyone knows of a good extended battery that creates a bit of bulk on the back and lasts a while.. i actually like the feel of the phone being a bit bigger then with the stock battery. was hoping for at least double the ah of stock. thank you
