PS: look at video review

yes you can buy a new battery and replace it. Usually batteries run between 20-35 bucks depending where you live.

What did you think this was, an Apple product???? Of course you can change the battery. I got mine on e-Bay and paid less than $10 US for a nice battery.

wow........................

Exactly. For pete's sake- you've never taken the dmn battery out? Didn't you have to put it in initially?
Yeah, Apple is the only company that insists on bonehead things like non-user-replaceable batteries.

2430 mAH battery?!

I saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-WILDFIRE-...neBatteries&hash=item19c20e4292#ht_2661wt_905
want to know if it's any good.
Also... this anygood? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-HIGH-...ltDomain_3&hash=item3f05313e8a#ht_2200wt_1139

Basically, these are just a numbers on batteries like that (cheap, chinese..)
No quality at all, i wouldn't recommend buying this.

Agreed. They dont look genuine at all and may potentially harm your wildfire.

I ordered one. I will tell you how it works after i will test it.

Cool. I was about to order one to test.
Can't wait for the little review
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

anyone find out if these things are any good?

$10 seems really cheap for a battery.
For a comparison, do you know if you can buy a new battery from HTC and how much they cost ?

Looks like that's what you're after?

hi I bought from ecell and it is good (3-4 days) original less then 2 days.

so no problems at all then?
edit: ecell dont sell the 2430mah batteries

WOW seems to be working.3-4 days instead of 1-2.Good but it could possibly harm our phone.

Usually the reason why certain items are cheap (especially on ebay) is because of its poor quality.
BUT, on the other hand, you cant always judge by comparing prices with big companies such as htc as once its in their possession its usually been through a few hands and they have to make up the extra costs aswell.
Therefore its usually cheaper because its coming direct from the manufacturer, or from a supplier directly linked to the manufacturer in the same country. And of course certain taxes can be avoided by marking the products as 'gifts' when shipping...
i've had my eye on a 3700mah (i think) battery and cover to accommodate the slightly bigger size, as im quite a heavy user and the current battery is lucky to last half a day. the size is a bit of a put off though so i might just get the next one down from that, instead.

Yeaa you're right.We usually pay for the name of the product.Sometimes no-names are on the same quality as those who sells big companies as HTC etc.

im still not too sure on this. But 2430mah in a thin battery?! Doesnt sound legit.

Anyone got the 2430mAH Battery and have some results for us ?

I received it yesterday. I charged it this morning and already it indicates 50% off. I will return it and ask for a refound.

Try clear battery stats first. Then reload. Phone Cant know the right capacity else

4800 Extended Battery W/ Battery Door

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-for-motorola-atrix-4g-with-battery-door.html
For a price of $119.95..Unfortunately out of stock..but a may 25th date has been set as the shipping date..Anybody want the "Extra Strong Extended Replacement Battery..w/ 2.55x the stock battery life"..sounds pretty damn nice!

That's more than I paid for my atrix!

hard to tell from such a small picture... but that looks like a remarkably crappy battery door....

4800? holy ****

Wow,
Man, that's ginormous. I like that this phone's battery lasts almost a good 24hrs with solid use. My Evo would last that long if I barely used it lol. Oh and my girlfriend's Inspire! Forget about it, lol.
Overall, I'm happy with the battery life now and can't imagine how long something that large would last.

That thing is horrendous. I get decent battery life out of the stock battery. I think it'd be more economical to just get an additional OEM battery and carry that in your pocket, not that behemoth!

the real mAH is prob much lower than 4800. And for the price and size, Id rather tape on two spare batteries to my phone

not to mention an extended battery for the Atrix. would probably make the fingerprint reader harder to use.

Yea. Actually took the case and cover off my phone after reading that little bit. Didn't remember the battery being right at the base of the fingerprint reader. So using a seriously big battery would make that kinda pointless.... since not only would it be hard to reach, but they'd have to design some crazy cover to even get it to work.

I bought one of these and so far NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!?
Is there something I need to do so Android understands it has more capacity, or does it just s*ck? I was also wondering if others have similar experience.

Some devices will only recalibrate the battery meter when the battery gets completely (or almost completely) discharged and THEN fully recharged. Don't know if that's the case with Atrix, but it's worth a try.

I just received mine too. Will be trying it out later tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

[Q] Andida 2000 mah battery

Anyone got one and are they any good?

I don't have one of those.
But the things I readed on the internet aren't that great.
It looks like an good 1500 mAh last like 1.5x longer than an Andida 2000 mAh.
The 1500 mAh quality one is more expensive but yeah it's an expensive phone so why not buy an good quality battery
The Andida drops down more fast at lower percentages by the way.
Hope this helps for you

It's just not possible to get 2000mah from the same form factor at this price..

You are wrong. It's possible to get more power without increasing the size of, but traders from ebay can fakement it.

I ordered this from Mobilefun. They still don't have stock so have to wait.
What I read about Andida is that they are quite good. But lets see.
It is not a big investment. Something like 11 euros. Just hope it doesn't explode inside the phone

yep, I will buy and try it as soon as it will be in stock.

hey guys, what do you think of this 2430 mah regular size battery? do you think it's possible?

I'd seen them on mobliefun, did some searching last night, found them for £5.60 on obostore seems a bit to cheap!

Battery from mugen is good as well

I ordered mine from obostore and paid around 5€ (no shipping cost)
I must say, it sure is not lasting more than the samsung one (even if "2000mAh" suggest otherwise) but for such a cheap price, as long as they don't explode, you can keep it as an emergency spare battery.
So far it hasn't exploded D) and no signs of swelling.

I bought one from Mobilefun. Only on its 3rd charge but can't tell any difference from original. No better but no worse! Hope it improves with a few more charges.

Well I heard there's a bit of luck when you buy HK batteries.
Some are better than others
I'll try to calibrate mine again properly and give a feedback.

Have this battery and the stock battery can last longer than the adinda battery. Just get yourself a 3500 mah battery. It work wonders

A battery of 3000mAh 3.8V for our beloved Nexus 5?

hi,
I look on ebay and I found this 3000mah battery compliant with the seller according nexus 5 but the question is, is it really consistent?,the same dimensions or?
I saw this info on the frandroid french forum and a member has ordered this battery to test
but I wanted the opinion of the members of xda
thanks

Might be helpful if you put a link up to the listing

The battery has part number LG BL-T7. This is the battery that is in the G2 i believe. Also it has already been confirmed the G2 battery is not the same dimensions so it will not fit our N5's.

Yep, didn't notice the BL-T7 before you pointed it out. That said the issue with the T7 was the stepped design that made it thicker. This one appears flat like the T9 that comes in the N5. So there is a possibility if the stepped design wasn't used that the battery could fit.
Personally I have no battery issues, the thing lasts all day for me and then some. However if I ever did have battery issues it would be nice to know there was something to upgrade to.

Seems like too much trouble for a phone that doesn't really have battery problems anyway.

Just because you and I and some others have no issues doesn't mean there's not legions of others who do. Like I said, I have no issues despite medium use, but I know many people that use their phones differently than I who need a beefier battery. Seeing as how it's not too terribly difficult to get to the battery, if there is a 3000mah one that works with our phones, why not let those people who need it use it?
You and I are most assuredly in the minority of people with no battery issues though, of that I'm certain.

But for those people who do need more battery, what's a 3000mah really going to do? Give you another couple hours? They'd be better served getting an external battery that would double their phone time and still only be the size of a tube of lipstick rather than tear their phones apart and void their warranties.

I don't disagree with you, but just playing with numbers, if the phone lasts 10 hours with the 2300, then it would be over 13 hours with a 3000, could be the difference between finding a charger mid day and not worrying about it. For some people the few hours is all the difference so why carry around a charger when you only need a few more?
Again though, I don't disagree with you, it's just that with the immense diversity in the way people use their phones, there isn't an easy solution to apply to all. For some the stock is good, for some a couple extra hours is what they need, and for others they'll need an external battery pack, just all depends on the user and their needs.

Better ask yourself why Google doesn't want you to change the battery.
For me a changeable battery is a must-have. I'm a heavy user, and this is my first Nexus device (since Samsung Galaxies und HTCs). Since it does not have a changeable battery I'm using now a anker power bank which charges the Nexus5 pretty fast. But this does it hurt my Nexus battery? What if my Nexus battery is crap? Looking at my old S3 und old HTC devices this happend to me.

Looks like the seller is under the impression that the nexus 5 32gb came with a 3000mah battery like some of the rumors suggested. My guess is that the seller isn't up to date with his information. I highly doubt this battery fits......but if someone wants to go for it be my guest and report back please :laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good:

This was my thoughts too.
As for the others saying 3000mah wouldn't be worth the swap should watch the iFixit teardown. It is stupid simple to do a 1 time swap. Also my battery generally last the whole day but i have had a few where i needed to plug it in to keep it form prematurely dying on me when i needed to use it. I am a guy that likes to have as little items as possible. I have 2 keys on my key ring, my car, and my house, no bling keychains. So carrying a external power bank is my last choice. While at work i just plug it in when needed, which has been never so far. But on weekends is where i find it falling short as i tend to use the phone more.

tagging along

The problem is going to be, even if someone does make a battery that is compatible with the Nexus 5, its going to be some no name Chinese battery and it will never actually live up to the mah rating that its sold as. So even if they do sell a "3000 mah" battery for the Nexus 5, it would be amazing if the real rating of the battery was even 2500mah. Unless these no name battery companies have really upped their game in the last year or two, they almost never actually deliver the battery capacities that they list.

I personally wouldn't buy batteries from ebay. Too much risk for the amount of savings. Best case scenario is that it doesn't hold the stated charge, worse case is that it explodes on you like so many reports have indicated with people using no name third party accessories.

sorry the link

I've bought two different OEM batteries made in China for my netbook and both are poor quality despite the manufacturer's claims. Unfortunately I could not find any Japanese or Korean cells. I'm not going to gamble on putting an OEM battery inside my Nexus.

Lol. Larger capacity batteries, and in original size? There's no official manufacturer and can only be bought from ebay? Sounds like the various ones mentioned in the other flagship forums, like the S4. The story usually turns out the same. Someone baits desperate readers in, then when buyers get it, a bunch of them come back saying they don't see a difference despite advertised of being +25% larger, calling it a fraud. Buy only if you are susceptible to the placebo affect.
