Ok this is my first review ever so don't point and laugh. lol
I bought this on eBay about the beginning of September ago and I got it on the 23rd, its from hong kong so I don't blame them for taking so long, when I opened it and put the battery on it fit like a charm.

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

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

Some people carry two batteries with them.
Also think of the Momax battery, its only rated 1100mah but people say it performs better than the stock battery. I too would be interested to see how you get on with this battery, as I have thought about getting one.
1300 mAH and no new battery door needed? this means its the same size, right?
Yes same size! No need to buy an oder cover !
Is it really a better Battery than the Original ?? Beacause they say ''Better Long Life" but any how many hour??

Exactly. I need two batteries when travelling.
any feedback for battery life?
I too prefer to keep 2 batteries with me. Must while travelling, but in city too, i carry a spare in my laptop bag, its so frustating to see no energy left middle of the day jus coz i used the phone heavily since morning!
Waiting for Momax X-Level battery, it sure worked better than stock for my ex-HD.
found this while looking around... seems 2 be a 1300mah bat for htc hd2 for $7????

I think it's for you ;-)
I use an external battery "New Trent" that has 5000 mAh capacity and USB port.
Then it's just an exercise in plugging it into the phone while you travel.. No replacement of internal battery nor having any bulging back.

After a couple of days of discharging and recharging the battery is holding out 2-3 hours longer in my daily routine which is as follows:
Activesync on "As item is received"
3G permanently on
3-4 hours of music
~1 hour of browsing
Few minutes of youtube
Twitter every 15 mins
Facebook every 2 hours
Weather every hour
Even for the £22 it would've cost this battery is well worth it but for free, even better
Sits flush in the device just like the original with no problems. 40% at 10pm, unplugged at 8am
hi, ordered one mugen 1300 from mugen website.

Droid Bionic from costco!

Just picked up my BIONIC from costco! Came out to 306.24 with the accessories bundle!
Lg Revolution / XDA Premium
What accessories does Costco include in the bundle?
No docks or anything good
Looks like it's a case, vehicle charger, and screen protector. None of the cool stuff.
Don't forget about car dock, desk dock, extra battery with a standalone charger..

Just bought mine upgraded from a droid eris. My mom got a state discount which saved me 50$ so it came to 270.00 with new york tax. I can't wait to hopefully see great development for this phone.
Got mine 10:30 this morning from Costco. Here is a photo courtesy of the Bionic of everything that came with it. Pretty nice bundle for $300!

Coming from the Tbolt things have changed a bit. The phone is extremely light compared to the HTC, which is a plus in my opinion. Asides from that the only thing I really care about is battery life, which I will report back later about. So far so good though. I'm a pretty heavy user, and no matter what I tried with the Tbolt I could kill it in 3 hours. 10-12 hours being idle would near kill it. It's nice to take it off the charger and not see a 10% drop for no reason at all. True reading or not that drove a lot of folks bonkers.
I'll report back here in 6 hours with some details on battery life. That will be 7 hours off charge with some decent use. New phone use if you know what I mean

I must say, Bionic feels pretty darn good in the hands.....
Did you buy it off contract? How much did you end up paying for it (Walk out)?

New battery does not hold charge

New battery was drained and fully charged while the phone was off.
Now it drains to 15% after less then 12 hours of average use.
When charger is unplugged the battery imm goes down to 97%
what is the best way to improve the battery performance ?
Don't use it as much
Everything has a work in time, your phone needs to forget about old battery and dance with a new partner. Give it a chance...
Oh and search is a good thing. This phone isn't cutting edge anymore.

Did you get this battery from china?
It probably has like 800mah.
Is there any battery today that does not originate in China ?
It is marked "SAMSUNG G7 1500mah".
I already tried to calibrate the battery about a week ago using a market application that claims to perform a reset of the battery stats.
after the reset I drained the battery for 3 days and recharged while the phone was off every night (during those 3 days).
then for the first few days the battery actually held up nicely reaching 50-60% after 12 hours.
after a week or so it started to drain more rapidly reaching 15-20% in the evening.
It also fails to hold 100% when the charger is unplugged, going straight to 97%.
should I try another battery or is there a another way to calibrate the battery ?

Its still quite possibly a fake samsung battery. Did it come from a reputable seller at least? If yes return it.

Is there a way to identify a genuine non-fake G7 battery ?
That's how mine looks. My battery does seem to drain fast when I am actually using it. But, also when I'm not using it, it seems to keep at a steady battery level for a while. I guess it's a trade off. I also use Juice Defender which definitely helps.
I probably used juice defender for about 4 months. Then I tried running without it and found I got equal or better battery life.

review:my first note 2 extended battery

Finally get my note 2 first extended battery. I recently found out my Note 2’s battery is not as good as it came with out of the box(used almost a year), so I decided picked up new batteries and I received these two batteries(8500mah/4500mah) a week ago. Though I didn't take any screenshot yet but I must post them later cuz I am really impressed that how much extra juice it gives me! Yesterday I test it with GPS on 2+ hrs, played games for 1hr 40min, watched a movie and huge mounts of streaming videos, musics, etc. Actually this is my normal day usage and I am completely satisfied with the result: from full charge to I went to bed it still remain almost half juice(about 4 hours of screen on time)!
This is the bulky one. They provide a extra case, fits great but I want one look better...

This thing easily beyond all other OEM batteries for my other previous phones in battery life. Sure, it will be a bit expensive than those OEM but I think it already a pretty decend price in such quality. I'm really a heavy user and I hope this battery will be still awesome even after a few charge cycles.
also buy a small one as alternative, but not use yet. MPJ said it works as good as the original one.
So you post zero information about the battery itself? Manufacturer, model number, capacity, price, link??

i think that it is not even important if it is OEM or not. I also use an extended batt from Mugen, and I am quite happy with it. The only important issues are: whether or not they deliver the extended juice you bought them for, and to be able to recharge and provide enough useage cycles to make them cost effective. And, by the way, from the image I believe it is not a battery, but a "battRery". Cheers.
Phat extended battery is probaly less than 6200mah and that supposedly 4500mah stock battery is more than likely less than the 3100 mah stock battery. Not trying to come off rude, but only companies I ever have trusted were Anker, ZeroLemon, Qcell and even tho its too damn pricy... Mugen.

There is no way that either of these are the mAh they claim.
Both are too small.

lol...yes,i saw the "battrery" before buying it and i thought i shouldn't rule it out only based on this xD.. I have to spend time to see whether they are able to provide hundreds charge cycles as the advertisement claimed. Personally, i also agree with all you guys that their adverts are exaggerating, but since it is my first time, am pretty satisfied to see my note 2 is able to last 2 days out of a charge

I agree with you guys. Exagerating or not, for example (and God is my witness I do not work for either of them manufacturers) my 6 month old Mugen 6400mAh (as advertised) gives me real extended performance (1) light phone useage as in several phone calls and sms daily - battery lasted 14 days until 10%; (2) average useage as in music player for maybe 6 hours of flac while fishing, some fm radio (3-4 hrs maybe), continous barometer and weather station for 24 hrs, 2 hours of bluetooth gps navigation, double number of calls than in case 1 and longer, 10 minute calls... like... used up appx 20% of battery in 24 hrs; I have not yet used the phone HEAVILY to have relevant info... (can't watch movies while fishing but I'll try) but I believe these figures make me feel that my battery is much MORE powerfull than stock 3200 mAh of the Note2.... I don't know if proportionally (double) stronger to the price differential compard to stock (Mugen is like 100USD) but I really am happy since I can leave for several days without feeling pressurized by the need of recharge.... Cheers.
Further update please.

Note 2 Extended battery Review. 7600mah

Hello guys and gals,
I have received the extended battery that i have ordered on last friday and has been using it for the past 3 days.
The model i have ordered is 7600mah extended battery with NFC and back battery cover.
I can't confirm the battery capacity is 7600mah or not but it sure have increased my standby time by double.
The back battery cover has a very tight and good fitting as good as the original and it looks good too.
The battery does add weight and bulk to note 2 but it is worth the standby time.
I am not here to promote this item but just to share out my findings.
The link for the battery is :
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/27127178...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and i have only ordered this case yesterday and i hope it will fit perfectly....

Thank you.
That battery might be a dud. I get way over 24hrs of use and over 6hrs of screen time on my standard original battery. And that's on the 4.3 rom. I used to get closer to 9-10 hrs screen time on the original 4.1.1 rom when I first got the phone.

depends on your usage bro, for my stqndard battery, usually i need to charge after 7 to 8 hours after i unplug from my charger after a full charge while this extended battery i use now doubles the time.
different people have different kinds of apps on their phone so the result may varies and very subjective.
i also can get over 24 hours of stanby time if i only have very basic apps installed on my note 2.
Cheers.
Same for me, 10h on 4.1.2 and only 6 on 4.3.
I will try slimbean this week to see if its better.

Fair enough, I'll get a full charge under and do it again. I'm estimating it was About 4-5 hours there.

I think I know why the reactions were a bit too emotional - a screenshot of the screen up time would help to prove your point. And you don't have to estimate, just when viewing the battery graph page, click on the Screen entry, the precise time is there.
