Love the extended battery on my GNex!

Just want to say that I received my extended battery today and how awesome it feels on the phone...love it way better than the standard battery and cover. Now I'm just hoping this bad boy gives me at least 2-3 more hours of juice.
Def no regrets!

Glad to hear it. FedEx should be delivering mine here shortly but I need to head to Verizon first to swap out the phone due to the green screen issue. Hopefully the extended battery will work with the Case-Mate Tough case that I have on it now.

I agree, just got mine. This should have been the stock battery.

Are we talking about the Verizon phone here or is there already a battery for GSM version available for purchase?

VZW I assume

I def have to agree been on it for 2 days already and the feel of the phone is better

What do you guys mean by "feel of the phone is better"? The weight and thickness of the phone or the overall longer battery life?

The weight and thickness plus the longer battery life....trust us, get the extended battery with cover. This really should have been the default battery for the Gnex.

I think we need separate forums for the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. These are really two completely different phones.

I totally agree! There are lots of wasted posts asking if it's for GSM or LTE. LOL

The battery definitely weighs more...which I dig! The back cover is only slightly more rounded...
Huge fan

i wonder why the gn didnt just come like this

I also received mine a couple of hours ago and I love it.
Love how the phone feels and look.

I love the way this feels. The back is also less slippery and it just feels right.

When did you guys order it from Verizon online? I placed my order on Friday night. I have the order confirmation number, but the page to check the order status sends me to an "Page is currently unavailable" placeholder after entering all of my info. Do they send out a shipping confirmation with tracking info? Thanks!

I ordered my extended battery (hopefully coming today)...for those of you that have it, is it possible to use the extended cover with the normal battery?
I don't mind carrying other batteries, but also carrying around extra backs seems like a pain if it's not necessary. Plus it seems like people just really like the feel of the extended cover more.

Mugen Power 3900 mAh battery for t989!

I just checked mugen website and they will have this 3900mAh battery available on 1/20/12. It says battery lasts 2.11 times longer. I am guessing I can OC/performance governor with high brightness setting and use phone moderately/heavily and it will still last all day (maybe not). The case looks pretty decent too.
I emailed them how much thickness it would add and they said about 9mm so the phone will look twice as thicker.
What do you guys think? It's approximately $100 tho.. damn..

$100?!? Lol you can buy THREE OEM batteries and still have a few bucks left for coffee hahahaha...greedy bastards

+1.... I'd rather have my phone last 3x longer than 2.11x longer

Pricey
That sounds awfully pricey.. I recevied my extended life battery from Amazon the other day, it was $13 + shipping.
I can't post the link, but just search for T989 battery on Amazon and you'll find a ton for a whole lot cheaper.

Thanks for letting us know. What about heating issue.....does this battery heats up more than the original? How much time does this one take to charge up full.

It's essentially double the life of the original (1850mAh vs 3500), generally after a days use of mp3s all day and surfing at work, I would usually have had about 35% left with the original, now I'm sitting around 65% at the end of the day without a worry. Charging is quick, I haven't really noticed a huge difference between the extended and the original.
It is definitely heavier, and the phone is a bit thicker with the new battery and case, but I actually like the extra weight and find it makes it feel more solid when holding it.
Heat-wise, it is no difference.

Sorry, but I have to say. It's market price is 12.77... did you not read what you quoted? He said he had a gift card so it came out to about 4. Your point is still valid, but you discredit yourself.

For those who say that Mugenpower batteries are over priced, I beg to differ.
I originally purchased a Seidio 2800mah extended battery for my Nexus One and it's performance, even after proper conditioning, was inferior to the HTC stock battery. I then purchased a Mugenpower 3200mah extended battery which gave me a solid 72 hours of use between charges.
I now have the Mugenpower 3900mah extended battery for my GS2x and after the second full charge, the level is only down to 70% 24 hours after being disconnected from the charger.
All extended batteries are not created equal!

Best Extended Life Battery?

Does anyone have any recommendations to a good extended life battery? I would prefer one that isn't so bulky but I want really good battery life. Battery Life is more important to me but a balance of bulkyness and battery life would be good.

On the other side it's only $9 bucks so may be worth it even if it ends up being a 2nd battery.

yeah that price is very sketchy. the cheap eBay extended batteries have proven to never be even close to the advertised capacity. sometimes they turned out to be even less than the stock batteries. I'd expect the same out of this one seeing as legitimate extended batteries usually range in the $30-50 dollar range.

I read that thread as well but it was for the hero. For whatever some aftermarket batteries perform differently on different platforms. I just ordered a trexcell and can review it later. I hate that reviews only come out after the break in period. No one else does long standing reviews.
I plan on trying the andida one next round if the price goes back down.
Dicho por el E4GT de latinmaxima

Here you go. I purchased one of these for my 3D and 2 for my ET4G. I'm getting 30+ hrs with moderate to heavy usage. Definitely on par with the Seidio but at half the cost. It does add a bump and some weight to the phone but IMO it actually makes the phone feel more solid. It feels cheap with just the stock battery.

Here is a good battery setup i use!
I have had very good luck with this setup...
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Spri..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333305053&sr=1-5
With it being 20.00 you just cant go wrong... 2 BATTERIES, WALL CHARGER and it performs way better than the stock batteries. I charge them from the wall charger and when i install the battery it actualy stays at100% for over 30 minutes of use before i see 99% and 98% just amazing. this pic i posted is from heavy use with the battery. Im ALWAYS on the phone lol. Also I always have my brightness at max!

I have the traxcell extended battery and its worth it. I love that I can still have a case for it

I have tried the extended batteries and have never been impressed. I just ordered the amazon batteries/charger deal suggested by davidstjohn1.
I seldom get through a day without changing my battery at least once. I figure since I paid a premium price for the Galaxy II I may as well enjoy the beauty of the screen. I got rid of the screen protector too and use rain-x on it which works great.

http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Sams..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333320158&sr=1-2
This is cheaper and eliminates the need to switch batteries, and I think it makes the phone a good weight. To each his own tho.
Also whats the point of the rain-x, to reduce finger prints?

There is also a nice TPU cover made to fit the extended profile. I am tempted to get it but then again I have no issues with the stock battery. But I never use 4g.

I also have the tpu cover. The back that comes with it is slippery so the case is a must for me. I had never dropped my phone before I put on the extended battery, then I dropped it twice that week. I ordered the case and have been fine since.
Right now I am at 17% with being on battery for 1d 10h on codename ROM. Sooooo worth it

Now it all comes back to me. I like the Samsung TPU cover and the one I got with my extended battery was a slippery POS. There is also the fatter profile. I like the lighter thinner look (as I wish my meat body was).
Rain-X is THE best solution I have found for fingerprints. Only works on glass though. I tried it on my Gtab first and now use it on my Galaxy S and even my eye glasses. I live in New York City so don't have/need a car but I once treated my windshield before a drive in the rain from LV to LA and didn't have to use the windshield wipers once - the raid just blew off.

permanent battery case usage for the Note?

Hi, there...
Friend of mine has an iPhone 4 battery case, like this one http://www.exogear.com/products-iphone-4.html
Now, I don't envy Apple phone users a bit, but am rather annoyed by the fact that so many companies produce the greatest number of accessories for 2, or 3 model that this company has, instead concentrating on all the other phones. The result being that I can hardly find a similar thing for my Note. Even when I was I was thinking about buying SII, I wasn't able to find anything as nice, except those cases/chargers in which you place your phone and then when it is full you can take it out and carry on with your life. But nothing which extends your battery life and becomes attached to your phone throughout the day.
The only thing I've found on the eBay is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Slim-Li-I...ltDomain_3&hash=item2c661185fa#ht_5527wt_1163
Has anybody got any experience with battery extenders/cases for Note?

If I recall correctly, another member has one of these and said even though they claim to have 3500mAh, it doesn't even last as long as the stock battery of 2500mAh.

There's a thread on Gold 3250mAh, my ekhm... "tests" returned results very similar to the stock battery, but some users reported feeling it lasts longer than that

looking for something like this?
It's a Chinese battery pack for the note ,can give about 45% extra charge,has a kickstand.
the quality is alright ,the price is 42$ ,and as you can see from the photos I haven't used it much and it's gathering dirt.
I can't remember the name ,nor can I find the box ,sorry.
but anyway , yes those things exist.

Thanks, all...
Yeah, I wasn't after something I'd use with my Note like all the time...
But, if I were to go somewhere for a longer period than a day and there was a chance I might use navigation quite a bit, or even driving for 4-6 hours with navigation on all the time... Esp. since someone here said that the Note doesn't charge as fast as it gets depleted battery during constant navigation use in a car.
So, a behemoth like this one would come in handy in situations like this...

Since these charging battery cases add more bulk to the phone, why not just cash out on a Mugen 5400Mah battery? It does add some bulk, but tests I read somewhere showed that it received 9 hours of continuous screen time which is just ridiculous!

I don't think the problem is whether or not people are willing to cash out on Mugen, the idea is to find an alternative.....I myself am not willing to have my note THAT bulky, yes the external battery cases are a little bit bulky but compared to the Mugen its definitely more aesthetically pleasing. I'm looking for an alternative to making my Note last a bit longer, and also not ruining the sleek design of this beautiful phablet .

It's just ridiculous that they have that at all. They could have shaved off 500mAh of the battery or just made it a bit thicker so it would be flat on the bottom and not look like that. I mean. I'm interested in a gigantic battery pack being strapped to the back of my phone. I'm not terribly concerned about looks, but it looks like the phone is hanging dong there. Hard pass.
I've gotten ZeroLemons for several other devices, going all the way back to the Note 2. I've never seen a case design like this from them before. It's insane that someone let it off the production line like that.

Just received this case today, not much taller than my Nexus 6P even with the "Dong" on the bottom.

Power bank > this hideous thing. That truncated triangular thing at the bottom makes it look even more ridiculous.

got a PM from Zerolemon a while back....
Turns out, they don't like it if you talk about their product without enthusiasm.... Never heard from them again

Hehe, I reserved my opinions until I received the discount code.. I guess it was the right move!
Sorry to hear they went silent on you. Did you ever give them your e-mail? I had lost contact with them, wondering if they'd PM me the code, and I recently got an e-mail. Perhaps they sent you one and it got lost in spam or something? If not, then very un-cool on their part. They also told me it would be "free sample". However, they sent me a 90% off discount code.

Never sent them my email, this was the only conversation we had.
I can understand the 90% off... They still need to pay shipping and stuff...
