but when I tried to put the case on it I wouldnt fit. everything was perfect but the power side wasn't aliened, I had to cut it a bit to make it fit after that it was fine.

And I havent done some heavy usage yet but today I went to work at 2pm left at 1am and the battery was at 51% when I got home, so this is just what I need because the normal 1500mah battery could not last me a day at work. here is a pic of today's performances

So I how you like my review and get one for yourself, and the price is perfect $10!!!
I would rate the Samsung Nexus S i9020 EXTENDED BATTERY + COVER 3800 mAh a 9/10 it would have been a perfect score but if only that battery cover would have fit.

so i have almost 200 views but no comments?

Sorry but the cover looks terrible

how is that possible??? Im pretty sure if you game alot with it, it wont last. will it?

I've been toying with the possibility of maybe getting one of these, but couldn't find anyone with a decent review containing pictures of it ACTUALLY installed. Thanks for taking the time!

It's easy.....if you barely use the phone. For example, right now I still have 68% battery left after 12 hours and 3 minutes. That being said, my screen on time has only been 1 hour and 26 minutes and has only used 37% percent of the battery, with Handcent second at 16%. Continuing this course I could easily make it to a day and a half, maybe 2 days. But, alas, today was actually pretty unusual for me and I typically have 3-4 hours of screen on time and am usually at between 20 and 30 percent by this time of day.

i got the new extended battery as well and i love it cause i can use it heavy all day and not worry about it...having wifi running all the time and data when not connected oh n heavy game user and the battery is sweet...no more having to worry about conserving battery when i am out and about

Isn't it too big?

This is the exact battery I have on order. I ordered it 2 weeks ago and still not here yet. I guess I ll just wait.

i get same results with the regular battery... what is your use for this phone? are you sure it is working properly? are you stock?
i usually get:
battery at 50% with 12hrs of use and 1h40m of display on.
but just in case, i bought a regular generic battery on ebay for 5usd i guess, and i keep it in my car, i think i needed it two times in the last 4 months! =oP

i can live with half day charging rather than those bulky biggy battery.. No offense buddy

I've got a couple of those. They work surprisingly well.

Massive Battery Drain on Reboot

Recently, I've been having massive battery drain on reboots. Is this a calibration issue? I'm currently on the 4/15 build of CM10, but was previously on Slimbean 4.1 2/25 build. It was happeneing on that build as well. It just dropped from 55% to 12% after the reboot...Also, my battery is slightly bloated, it can't really be seen visually, but you can feel it. Are these two correlated? Should I get a new battery?

Your battery is fried, time for a new one, whenever you have swelling, its the number one sign that your battery is dead. Soon you won't be able to use your phone without it being connected to a charger.

I too have had this issue with the SlimBean, I believe it to be from the "Fast USB Charge" function.
Since it has to be replaced anyways, any suggestions for Extended Batteries?

I got this one and its pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009PGTUFQ
It's 2050mah so not too much more than stock but still good. I bought it because it doesn't require a special battery cover. Lasts me all day with decent (sometimes excessive) use. And it looks cool in red haha.

Already bought another stock battery, but if I had known about this, maybe would have bought this instead. Oh well, the new battery is working much better than my old already.

Thanks for the info, I've seen that one, but I think that I'm going to go with this one: EZO Power since I'm never very far from a charger. (battery troubles will cause you to carry one or keep them everywhere. LOL)

i have 3 at home, one in the car and 2 at work

Ive just started running AOIP, and I have experienced the massive drain on reboot. so the consensus is its a battery issue?

When ever you have battery issues like that it is you battery. Soon you will notice random reboot accompanied by massive battery drain. Then you will have to have your phone plugged in just to use it, you will also start to notice swelling. I recommend you get another before it gets this bad. Trust me having to have your phone plugged in 24/7 is not fun

I am familiar with the battery swell, my previous samsung flip phone (RIP) had some massive battery swell. I was scared it was going to explode in my face.:good:

[Q] Why does android's standby time suck?

I've used around 5 Android phones (starting from 2.1 now up to 4.3) and for some reason, they all have a pathetic standby time. When I say standby, I mean when you press the power button and it turns the screen off and you don't touch it. Why is android the only OS that has this problem? WP, fine. IOS, probably the best one (only good thing about it).
I've tried different kernels, using no apps from the play store at all, turning off Google's location service, using greenify, and a bunch more. My battery still drops to ~70% at 4:00 starting at 100 at 7:00. When I briefly had an iphone and windows phone, I always was amazed at how my battery was around ~90-95% at 4:00. I know most people actually USE their phone during the day, so its probably not as noticeable.
Does anyone know the real reason for this? By real, I mean the deep down reason for this. Is java just a hog?

I think the main reason is the backround apps that are running. I used my old sensation just as a phone and so I deleted all the apps from it (Facebook, Viber etc.) and the phone lasted 5-6 days on standby with a 1 year old batery. Before I removed those apps I couldnt get 2 days on standby. I think backgrounfd apps in Android are allowed more "freedom" so they use up the CPU while on standby. That is my experience and opinion.

Yeah I thought that, but I said I tried it with no apps installed. Same thing.

Weird, I don't experience that kind of massive stand by drain.
If I turn my screen off or let it time out, my phone can sit for a almost a couple of days before it shuts down - sometimes two full days. This was true with my Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3, and now the One.
So I have no clue what you're talking about, generalizing Android like that.

i disagree
My battery drains 1% every six hours

I'm generalizing Android because I was talking about "Stock" android. Not what we do here. I really have to find a fix for this. I dont know what I'm doing wrong here.

Mine also has great standby time...

I am talking about stock Android as well. I have had great battery life with my last three phones.

I've had no such problems with "android" in general. Some roms / apps yes. But after fixing those issues it was pretty much what would have been expected / what reviewers/other people get.
I would recommend getting something like gsam battery monitor and let it run at least a day and then post some screenshots. Maybe we can give some concrete advice then.

Quick charger Killing My Battery

I have been using quick charger to charger my N6 since I got this phone in 12/2014. I had no problem until recently my phone will power off itself when its battery gets to 15%. Before, 15%of better life will lasts me another 15-30 mins. I charges 2-3 times a day using quick charger and I think it's killing the battery!!! Anyone had similar issue?

and what evidence do you have thst the quick charger is "killing the battery"? i mean wheres your proof? i think doesnt prove anything. your battery stats just need to ne recalibrated.

How do I recalibrate?

Dude... Your battery is almost 1 year old... It's normal for the battery to start going weird with normal use between a year and 18 months however, you charging the phone 2 to 3 times a day isn't great and is likely a cause for your issue... I charge mine once a day.
There is a thread somewhere here in The N6 forum to possibly fix your issue.

Will that be a proof? Phone died at 30% discharge.

lol, no. thats a battery stat, and ive seen them much wierder than yours. that has no evidence that charging using the default supplied charger is destroying your battery. but.. it might show that you have an issue, just not the issue that you think it is.

I'm just trying to figure out what happened. I know you said about battery calibration; but why my phone dies at 30%? I think I might need a replacement!

Its a nexus 6 thing, the internal power supply hardware for this phone is cheap and "just enough" to power the phone. When the voltage on the battery drops from being drained the cpu shuts down as a fail safe, the 5.1 update "fixed" the issue by underclocking the cpu and gpu at 40% battery (iirc) and unplugging cores at <20%. Many custom kernels remove this for performance boosting but then some phones run into the power supply issues usually in the lower binned chips (ones with higher voltage tables). Age likely doesn't help anything and a quick charge probably doesn't either. There's a big post about it on the zen kernel thread.

It's more of a Nexus thing. My N7 2013 does this all the time. Happened only a few months after release. Download an app called Battery Calibrator. Can't remember if I got it from here or from the PlayStore. It requires root access.

So.....are you on a custom rom or stock? If custom rom there's your problem right there, check for an update. If on stock also make sure your on the latest build. If all else fails do a factory reset. If problems persists just put in a warranty claim with Motorola.

Real battery capacity?

Hello everybody! I own a Huawei P9 running Eva-L19 version. And using whatever root app inside my phone, they all shows that my phone has a 2900maH battery. What seems weird is that on every site, GSMArena etc. they all say that Huawei P9 has got a 3000maH battery. Few months ago I've dropped my phone and crack the screen and went into factory, I'm thinking would it be that my battery has been changed...? I don't remember what is the battery capacity showed before it went into factory, thats the problem! It would be kind for anyone to confirm with me what's their battery capacity. Thanksss

Normally wiping battery stats dont do anything in newer devices/android versions(in terms of making battery last longer), but you can try turning off phone, charge it to full and wipe battery stats. Maybe battery was disconnected and phone dont see it properly(but I doubt it... )
As for my phone Its 3000maH on all apps that check it.

Its just a number on some apps. It would be sad if your battery life would be worst than normal. Its imposible to say how long battery will last because everyone use phones differently, they have different apps working in background and features enabled/disabled but no matter of OS version average should be two days before battery on P9 reach 5%
And taht is with LTE turned off(that is one of most power hungry feature in every phone. Tip: just dont use it, HSPA is enough to stream even 1080 videos)
I normally have 40% at the end of the day because I have Gear Fit synced and I use NFC and GPS all the time, but even if phone would have 2900mah battery difference should be not bigger than 5% So dont worry about it that much.

Thanks a lot! Will try and monitor how my phone behaves this few weeks. But yeah, since its just 100mah, guess I'll just sleep with it
