If your sacred about the hinge, you can buy new springs for this hinge which will make it sturdy for about 5$. Battery life is pretty good for me. I get about a day and have about 25-30% left. But that is because i underclock the processor alot when my phone is asleet. Also you can download juice defender to get better battery life.

Battery life is fine. if you find yourself charging your phone more often then get a higher capacity battery.
The hinge will not break after a year. The complaint is not the durability of the hinge but the strength in which it holds the phone open. There is a fix on the general forums here that teaches you how to change the springs

If the battery size between 1700 mAh and 2000 mAh, I advise you to get it.
If more than 2000, no.

Consider that charging period will increase as well.

A 3600 mAh battery like the Mugen one does really give you an extra day. Smaller batteries don't guarantee that.

Weight and size.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
as netizenmt mentioned, weight and size are factors to consider. a buddy of mine has the extended batteries and they're thick. if you have a leather case it'll be quite a challenge to close it...let alone use the case snaps to clamp on the sides of the phone. given that the play is slightly thicker already, the thick batts really make it bigger. just be careful if you do order the batts. i read somewhere in the forum about them being sold through ebay...only to find out that some aren't "compatible". can't remember if that meant function-wise.

Please be minded that we might also need to edit build.prop when using bigger batteries for compatibility issues..

My MUGEN 3600mAh battery works just fine without editing the battery capacity value in build.prop

Do you think the mugen will fit inside the Trident case? Perhaps without the battery cover. Or maybe modifying original battery cover along with the case?

If the case requires the PLAY's original dimensions, then no. The MUGEN battery protrudes further than the stock battery
the MUGEN battery is bigger and heavier, but you would have to really work your phone to get through it in a day, ive left my phone running castlevania sotn at 180fps for about 8+ hours with a 1.5ghz oc and i still had power to spare..
essentially the great thing about these batteries is that battery life doesnt become a concern anymore, i get about 3 days battery life with standard use, if i turned off data, god knows how much i would get.
iphone users jaws drop when i tell them i get 3 days battery, i love it.

Yeah but you carry a behemoth around with you
i dont think about the weight, in fact i usually still have trouble feeling it vibrate and i have to touch my pocket every now and then to make sure i still have it.
ive had a comment off a teenage girl before who seemed rather offended at the prospect of trading size for battery life.. but she probably also doesnt understand why i want a gamepad.. noone else, or me cares.
the part i care about is being able to use my phone, for anything, whenever i want and never having battery be a factor. its completely worry free. my ultimate device in my pocket that can always be relied upon. i quite like the feel of the gamepad with the thicker back cover, and i honestly dont think the replacement cover is anywhere near as visually offensive as many slab phone back covers which jut out in crazy places, im 100% happy with it.
you have already decided to sacrifice some form for having a gamepad, why not sacrifice a bit more form to be able to use it to its fullest extent?
hi.. do someone here know if there is a better battery for the xperia play that doesn't change its size?
Sent from my R800i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I have a fat 3600 and the stock. Just a word of caution. If you buy a battery that's listed as a higher rating then then stock battery but its the same size. Be warned the battery can give you issues as they cram more juice into the same size the following things can occur. I bought a battery same size as stock and it listed it as 1800. I had excessive heat issues the batteries output to the phone was not a consistent steady flow of power and caused games and my phone to glitch to the point using the phone was almost unbearable. But when I switch to stock or to the fat 3600 battery everything was golden. So just be careful. I would never get another battery that was more power but same size. I lost $20 on that battery. Not saying I don't buy aftermarket barriers. My 3600 is not a mughen but one of those batteries for $17-20 on Amazon from Hong Kong and of works great. I also have a 2600 battery as well. Anyways again be careful of what you and for me never buy a larger capacity battery shoved into the same form factor as stock. Too many issues.

i want a better battery , i have no problems with increased size , its the no cover thing that bothers me.
I dont drop my phone a lot but if i ever did , i would like some protection .
I think that way too. I don't want my phone to be without a cover, I have a great cover now that costs a lot and I don't want to throw it...

I love my gigantic eBay battery and huge cover, but only once my original battery is pretty much dead.
I would never use the thing full time, though.. it's just way too big and unsightly.
Does anyone know if the 3600mah extended batteries will still allow the Xperia Play to fit in the DK300 Sony dock? There's a lip on the back but I think it only covers the silver side part, so it might still fit.
If anyone has both an extended battery and the dock and could clear this up for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have the 3600mah battery, it makes the phone massive. I doubt it will fit.

It looks like it might fit - it'll be close, that's why I'm asking, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually tried both, rather than just conjecture.
I already have the dock, but not the extended battery.
No, it does not look like it will fit. Go ahead and buy it, let us know!
una decilucion
would be excellent to take out a battery with greater capasidad and that is the same size but the manufacturer is not the idea occurred to them yet .. such as the Motorola Razr has 3300 mAh and Maxxx is so thin .. : (
Success!!

Just kidding though, it really doesn't fit. It upsets me. But I just don't use it anymore.
GO (SEX)P! You know they did that on purpose.
How is the signal if you use a metal case? I tired one for my GS5 and I got no signal. But then that phone is all plastic. So maybe this one being metal it might not make a difference.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
I had the DevilCase (bumper) if you want to look that up and there was a slight loss in signal but it never really affected everyday use. at most it maybe drained the battery a extra 0.5% an hour or so from what I could tell because of the slight loss in signal.
Hey everyone. I have seen countless threads for the Nexus 5 Battery cases.
Just wondering if anyone has tried this:
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/251631021161?nav=SEARCH
Want to know if its worth it? Also, i have heard good things about the i-Blasin battery case and ZeroLemon ones.
Any feedback on a really good battety case would be appreciated
I have the Zerolemon, it arrived today. I can't comment on battery life yet but I'm very pleased with the case itself. It is particularly bulky but I prefer this to the bare phone, which i find far too slim. The extra size hasn't impeded on "thumb-reachability", I can still use it entirely one handed - in fact it sits far better in my hand as it actually has some weight to it and enough device to grip properly.
The built in screen protector does its job although I'll likely replace it with an adhesive glass one in the future, it's a bit naff. Buttons all work well, as does the camera flash - doesn't seem to impede image quality when it's used.
The belt clip I'll never use, and it's useless as a kickstand as the clip itself holds it at terrible angles. Could be repurposed as a car mount though without much trouble.

Can I ask where you purchased the zerolemon battery case from? The case with the battery is not available on Amazon or anywhere else online.

On Amazon. This is the exact product link I bought, but the spec and picture have now changed (my case is black, plus I have the battery) It was $39.99 before shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMOCZOA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If it helps at all, the LG G2 battery they do should fit fine, albeit you'd need to buy the case separately.
I use the Spigen slim armor and its great
Since when is the slim armour a battery case?

Did you end up trying the eBay one?
I've ordered the exact external battery case as shown.. Charging full for the 1st time now.. Looking good so far. No complains except the slow charging..
zerolemon urgent help needed!
I just bought a zerolemon extended battery for my nexus 5, but i dont know how to use it beside that ive charged it gor 12 hrs for initial use and it got over in just one day!
Maybe i didnt use it efficiently or any other issue,
If anyone has it please advice me how to use it effeciently!
Thanks!
Maybe users with external battery cases can share how they use their battery cases..
Is the zerolemon customber service good or they don't answer?
Is this any good? -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/3800mA-Exte...18?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item566ddadaa2
Price is good and installation seems easy.
Tommy this thing seems good but shouldn't a battery of 3800 mAh give your nexus a charge more than once? As nexus built in battery is 2300 mAh?
I am using zerolemon extended battery of 3500 mAh but it doesn't give me one complete charge though, but still its handy while you are travelling..
But the zerolemon is very bulky with 100% protection, this thing isn't bulky but as they claim its optimal protection, so my opinion is you given it a try, its worth it BUT @ your own risk
So can anyone give any reviews on the zero lemon case? Worth the money or what?

I don't recommend it for continuous use, until and unless you are someone who constantly is in journeys. The battery gives one n a half extra charges to your nexus 5..
I would rather call it an external charger, or a power bank, rather than external battery for nexus 5..
Hopefully I answered your query, there shall be any other query? Feel free to ask..
Thank you!

Why would you not recommend it for daily use? I'm trying to see the pros and cons. This is pretty much the most solid one of all the options we have for the Nexus 5.

I don't recommend it because I've used it, the charging input from the zero lemon to your nexus is weak, it will take 3 hrs to complete, and constant usage at the time of charging heats up not only your device but also the zero lemon battery...
I don't say its bad, but I wasn't satisfied with it, and yes comparatively zero lemon is the best... But ultimately there's no solution to this nexus battery problem..
U can still go for it.. But don't use zerolemon too much, except at the time of necessities..
Anything else?
I carry a vinsic 20000 MA battery and 2metre lead in my backpack. Just pull out as much lead as needed to reach my pocket. Soon charges with 2.1amps and fast charge. Better than a case imo. I use bluetooth adapter for music and calls so the phone stays in the pocket and I can use my Sennheiser cans with no lead.
