3300mAh Battery by Mugen Power

Hello fellow XDA peeps...
This just popped up on my Google Realtime Homepage
(which is, ofcourse, set to search for "Nexus S" results )
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/google/google-samsung-nexus-s/mugen-power-3300mah-extended-battery-for-google-samsung-nexus-s-with-battery-door.html
Yes, it's pretty expensive, would need a different battery door (read: no NFC), and probably adds quite some weight..
but - it won't run out on you that easy
On a separate note - does any one have tips for a good replacement/swap battery that I could buy?

ooooo!!! Mugen is here !!!!! FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
already running to ordering

$99.95 wowww :O im assuming that this battery will add massive bulk

Nice.... I will get it in a few weeks. I want to read some reviews first.

Just got confirmation from Mugen Power, they are sending me the battery for review! They are in Hong Kong so should arrive in a couple of days and will follow up with video review.
"This is Mugen Power Thanks for your message!
Yes, we are interested in you making a review for our batts for iPhone and Google Nexus S."

It is! I hope you guys do not hate me but instead see the benefits of the upcoming review! I'm anxious to see how long battery life will be, hopefully the extra weight/bulk won't be bothersome.

wont fit the case mate case thats for sure! this battery would probably be INSANE, considering with stock battery i can last one and a half day without charging.
one of the things that id like to see is the bulk comparison between the stock battery and mugen battery on the phone

Yeah for sure, I want to compare battery life on both (obviously ) - bulk on both - time of charging taken for both - usability on both - if it's really necessary in the end, to be honest, I'm fine with a phone that gets me through 1 day, since I can just charge at night.
However I could see myself using something like this on a road trip where I'd be using phone nonstop or perhaps to tether to my MacBook.
Suggestions are welcomed

so true! I think most people generally follow that same rule, if you can get through 1 day on heavy usage, then battery life will be acceptable, anything short of that is where you begin to hate your phone since you have to carry charger/extra batteries lol

While we're on the topic of batteries, they both can be rejuvenated via microUSB. Thoughtfully, Columbia includes a single wall adapter with two USB ports, as well as two USB charging plugs. That means that a single wall socket can charge both packs up, and yeah, it'll charge your Nexus One and Garmin PND if you ask it to. Another killer addition is the inclusion of worldwide power sockets; if you're the type who jets off to Switzerland or France to catch some fresh powder, your charger will come prepared. A nice touch, indeed. Furthermore, one of the internal batteries has a USB port that can be used to charge any USB-enabled smartphone or PMP so long as you supply the cable, which is certainly helpful for those on the slopes with a dying iPod touch.

most likely eBay or Craigslist.
I was pretty fond of it but didn't like the development that was going on around there. All the ROMs were based off internal Samsung Froyo leaks and development was limited because Samsung took forever to release Froyo (kernels were closed-sourced, only kernel available was the I9000 and vibrant kernels based off I9000 kernels were awful battery life). This leaded me to getting a Nexus S and i don't regret it. Only thing I really miss are the video codecs, at the moment 720p mkv play fine but no audio is being outputted.

Oh ok, well the Nexus S is my first android phone so i've had no experience with others and if i could find others for 200-300$ used i wouldn't mind buying to compare, thx though!

For whoever is interested...
"Hi Gianpy!
Just placed an order with two batteries for you: one for 3300mAh and the other one is stock sized 1600mAh.
You will get confirmation letters on your email address when they will be shipped."
They are sending me the 1600mAh battery as well, which I think is 100 mAh more than our original battery. Will compare that as well.

Radar Detectors? Which to Buy

Im trying to buy a detector and off the bat heres the things:
Money is an issue i dont feel like spending more than 120$

its not about speeding it about being aware of much more, so many people think that oh i need a radar so i dont get caught. NO thats not my point and thats not why i want one.

Not being argumentative in the slightest - I'd just stay out if I was - you've sparked my curiosity. What else are they for then? I thought they were literally just for telling you about speed traps.

your not argumentative at all, but they have many uses like for instance the GPS modules tell your speed, red light cameras, accuracy on speed.
The bands it has like for instance a 15 band has 7 types of radars, 6 lasers, and 2 safety signals. like when a firetruck or emergency vehicles, etc...
several other reasons too, just gives you a warning doesn't give you the GO to speed.

*bump* does anyone use them?? i would like some advice on them

Just make sure it doesn't show up on the police's radar, Cause mine did and they took it... It was long time ago, so maybe the new one's are better

Don't waste your money on a Cobra. When they came out 30 years ago they were the best, but they have fallen seriously behind.
Look at Escort/Beltronics. They're the same company but I think they still sell under both names. Best radar detectors out there hands down.
And make sure they are legal in the state you plan on using it. The fines and hassle of getting caught are much much worse than the speeding ticket.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

if you are going to get one, get a good one, with laser detection and such
those will cost you about $300, starts at around $250
they do work, except for when the come is hidding beneath your windshield level of view
LOL that's the only time they got me
they should invent X-Ray detectors so it can monitor through under the hood, then you'll get a nice 360 monitoring

Honestly,in that price range,I would just wait on getting one. They typically won't do enough to warrant spending 100-120. if you can't get at least an 8500 x50, I wouldn't waste my money. I wouldn't buy anything under 200.

I've owned a cobra. Be it an older cheaper model from like 02. But like I said, "I" wouldn't buy anything less than an x50. I couldn't justify it. For the price,I'm sure it's a decent RD judging from a quick search, just not something I would buy.

Anything under $300 won't do you much good. Look up the Valentine 1, passport escort, or belltronics sti. They are well known and respected. You can do some research at radarroy.com its pretty informative

LOL @ that second link. They have this stand listed as weighing over 9lb. That's more than a newborn baby or some bowling balls. Its nice to know you could kill a man with this stand if you needed to. It almost makes the thing seem not completely overpriced.

39.99$?!

Makes me scared to order one, if my lil one pulls this of the table it will almost certainly kill her

I'll wait for the $5 knockoff version.

Don't hope to much, I never seen a cheap one that has pogo, only microUSB, I have had some experience with BB devices that did have a cheap versions with pogo, but that device is more complicated then a charging base you know? a least it shows in pre order so hope soon it will out

It was a good jump up, I am astounded constantly by my One, sometimes even just picking it up to hold it in my hands, not doing anything with it, just nice to hold it

I think it's a worth while upgrade, I don't believe that you'd regret it.
It might be a good idea to wait for a little bit until the first batches are gone and you can get a 2nd batch handset.
I've got no issues really with mine, it's a decent handset and I love it harder than any phone I've ever owned.
I think the fact that you're asking this in the 'One' threads is a bit hit & miss as we're probably more biased towards getting one than not but then again we can give you an accurate idea of what the handset is like... swings & roundabouts.

Is this worth getting?

I'm on the GS3 currently and I've been thinking of getting this phone soon enough. I'm rooted and run a custom rom but I'm not really gonna bother with that for a while once I get the One. So, is it any good? I've been checking around quite a bit and it seems the responses are varied.
It costs around 6300 SEK here which is roughly 740 euros or $970, so it's not exactly cheap.

I don't think any phone is worth $1000. In 1990 maybe, but not today.

Apart from the awesome spec on paper and the beautiful build quality it has NO LAG and NO STUTTER.
I had the s3 for a short time so I know what you are going through. Quite a clever device, poor build quality with very annoying stutters and lags.
Trust me, this is the first device that I have owned that hasn't irritated me in any way so if you can somehow justify to yourself that sort of outlay, you will sleep better on a night without stressing about how to improve your phone.

sucks that it's so expensive there. i suppose if you have the expendable money, get it. but if you'll be broke for the next month, not worth it. I guess it all depends on your bank funds.

I'll have some insurance money around June (about $3200), so I can afford it without going on a bread and water diet, but I don't wanna waste that cash if the phone turns out to be crap. From what I've seen, heard and read, though, it's the opposite (super awesome, that is)

the only thing i'd change about the phone if i could, is add another 700mAh to the battery. yes, it'd be a tiny bit fatter but that would guarantee a full day battery. but... it's still a bad ass little phone. i'm sure you'll enjoy it so long as you don't get a lemon.
