1) You really think the Shift needs one? Don't try the original EVO!
2) You really want your phone to be even thicker?

I am quite satisfied with the battery life. Actually very impressed. Consistently getting 16+ hours out of it. I'm usually a battery snob too. I guess to each it's own

I am satisfied enough with the allegedly 2000mAh battery I got on eBay. The nonobvious fact is that it charges much more completely when powered down. For various reasons, I don't want to leave the phone powered down all night, so I leave it plugged in but powered up. As soon as I wake up, I power it down and plug it back in, and it continues to trickle-charge for another 90 minutes, until I leave the house.

how much

I am curious about these batteries too. Mine is OK I get decent battery life but I am a very heavy phone user and I have to charge mine about mid day. It would be nice to get through the day without charging it.

Mind sharing your definition of heavy use? To eat the battery in half a day... WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Consistent music or video use...?
I just ask because that's a pretty harsh battery cycle. On my heroc, cm6 would eat it. 8 hours tops... no matter what I did. Then AOSP would last 30.
With medium to heavy usage, I get no less than 18 hours. My longest cycle has been 61 hours.
WiFi running all day... at least an hour of Angry Birds. Some YouTube. Usually 50 - 100 sms/mms. 2 - 3 hrs talk time. Bout 10 received and sent emails on average as well.
Guess that is light use compared to some abusers.

I will say this, if you spend a lot of time in an area with low signal that will kill your battery quickly.
I work in the 9th circle of hell for cell signal and my battery dies much faster in the office than it does when I'm not in.

Agreed. I work on the inland waterways... sometimes lucky to get 1x for a couple hundred nautical miles (which can be a few days at times) and... well I don't wanna address that issue.
That's why I don't base my statistics on work time at all.
Also to note.. although most phone users should already know this, downloading a 10 mb file on 3G, or even 4g for that matter, will use a hell of a lot less battery than downloading a comparable file on 1x.

Agreed. I get very little signal at my house at all, I have a Sprint Airvana box that supports the signal throughout my house and it eats up my battery throughout the day.

It's ridiculous that these companies are putting the same 1500 mAh batteries into smartphones as they did in the old school phones. Forcing anyone who actually uses there phone much to be dependent on a power outlet throughout the day.
Sure, slim is "in", and it saves the manufacturer money by stiffing us with an inadequate battery, but screws the consumer that actually uses their smartphone.
Your only alternative is to spend an additional near $100.00 to get an acceptable battery that should have come with the phone to begin with.

It depends on shipper's location, the shipping method, and your location
But to discuss the "battery life" of an extended battery, it depends on the quality of the battery cells. When I had my Evo 4G, I bought one of those $15 3500 mAh eBay batteries with a cover. It lasted 15-30% longer than the stock battery. Sometimes it wasn't any better than stock. Using the Seidio 3500 mAh battery, it lasted much longer than the cheapo extended battery, but it was also $50+.
If you want a quality battery, that is almost guaranteed to be rated close to what's written on the cover, get a Mugen, or a Seidio. You will also get the battery life you expect. If you want something that might or might not last longer than stock, go with the cheapo eBay batteries.
You get what you pay for.

dell streak mugen 1800 Mah

Yesterday I Got my mugen 1800 mAh (original size) battery.
WOW!
Allmost 7 hours passed right now, doing what I always do (phonecalls, push email etc) and still 87% battery left!
The original battery was really OK (about 20/24 hours) to be honest, but this is much better

Your phone battery percentage, wont be calibrated for the new size in battery so you must have just used your phone less than you usually do. With extended battery, the percentage rate goes down to 1% just as fast as your old battery, but when its gets to 1 your battery just keeps going until it runs out.

You maybe right, but I just had the bluetooth and wifi on for the whole tima, made a few phonecalls and data push as always:
Running for more than 12 hours, percentage left is 61

do you use any of the built in power conservation features, or apps maybe? I don't get that kind of performance with my 1800. Did you do the requisite 5 day 8 to 12 hour charges religiously?

The only energy saving thing I use is the automatic display brightness (android stock). Today I used the phone more intensive and after 10 hours still got 70% batt.
I only charge the phone when I go to sleep, for about 7/8 hours.
Im really happy with the new batt

Its strange how varied people's streak battery lasts. I use mine quite a bit, like listen to music and surf the internet and text for half and hour to and from work, then same for my half hour break and for my hour break at lunch, so that's 2 and a half hours of music net texting sometimes gaming also. And when I put it on charge before I go to sleep its normally over 50% everyday, it just about lasts 2 days doing the same thing on my breaks and on way to work. But normally charge it everyday just incase that's pretty good battery life I think. Might get one of these extended batteries. Really thinking about the massive 4800 one, but would like to see and hold it with it inbefore I bought it, but don't know anywhere that sells them where I live.

I had one of those 1800 mAh batteries too but it gave me worse performance than stock. I returned it. I dont know what was wrong.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

the varied performance might have a little bit to do too with how many and what kind of apps are installed on a given device. I know I have a whole heap of stuff that I really have no serious need for, but see running in the background every so often doing what they do. I used to freeze them because I want to keep them, but don't necessarily want them right away.
I've done away with all that now though. Bought an Atrix with a 1930 Mha battery. Love the Streak as I did, I can now once again operate my phone with one hand again.

I am currently waiting on the mugen 1800 Mah battery and I am also testing the 4800 Mah battery really large but I use my Streak alot at work for calls, SMS, email exchange (Moxier Mail) photo's, internet and also reading books etc...
The most I got from my stock battery was 15 hrs 45mins that was due to forgetting my charger, I had about 12% left once I finally got home...
I will be doing reviews at Mobilitysite.com...

Mugen 1800mAh Extended Battery
Hi all well I have been testing the 1800mAh battery and completed my review at MobilitySite.com, if any one is interested they can view it at the link below. The one benefit of the 1800mAh battery is that it is the same size as the standard 1530mAh battery so no new battery cover.
Mugen 1800mAh Battery Review.
Currently now using and testing the 4800mAh battery... WOW! just love it only been using it for about 5 days got 40 hrs the other day, currently at 62% now and it has been off the cradle since 6:43am and it is now 8:24pm - almost 14 hours.
It is big but for me thats fine, I will be completing another review this weekend with photo's.
Cheers guys...

Is there any car mount that fits the Streak with the 4800 battery?

Hey people
If anyone is interested I have just posted my review on the MUGEN 4800mAh battery just click the review image in my signature.
Really liked the battery was excellent got up to 40 hours before I had to charge again, size was large but still easy to use, just wish there was a case that would fit it.
Cheers

Really like that review. I'm actually in the process of getting one of these batteries for my Dell Streak. The original battery in my phone overheated and isn't holding a charge very well after that incident. So I am getting the 1800 mAh battery.
Looks like it is going to take awhile as it is taking the long way from China to the US but, after reading that, I'm pretty convinced that it will be worth it. I will update when I recieve it.

1980mah Andida battery

FYI on a thread I started on this battery over in the g2x group.. So far, it seems promising. I'll keep it updated as I receive responses from those that are using the battery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104665

well they seems quite afraid of this ....

Sounds interesting, will keep a eye on this thread, hopefully some full tests will be done on the battery.

Im very interested.
Enviado desde mi LG-P990 usando Tapatalk

i was using this brand when i have my desire z, the battery itself is really giving some extra time, but it get "fat" fast when compared with original. "fat" means reduce battery saving power. so, if compared with the original one, in long term usage, andida won't give you any good compared with original one.

I've just buyed one. I think that this could extend a lot my battery life. At least with OEM battery I coul ony use my phone for 12 houres

I have bought and received the battery now. Seems fine, but I will need more time to really notice any difference. Aslo, my stock battery kept my phone running for 40 hours on a single charge (phone is running on CM7 based ROM, stock ROM never lasted that long, 20 hours max).

So? Worth buying or not?

That is very cheap for a battery that size (any battery for that matter ) But i will wait for some good news and maybe I'll buy it then.

I have bought this battery. http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/ch/products/xp2000/
I am always carrying a bag with me so when the phon is not used I plug it in. Does a great job actually. I have a freind in Greece experiencing the worst case scenario with a dodgy battery namely a small explosion which destroyed his HTC and received some minor burns on his pointer finger.

Gives a little bit more juice, so a couple of hours extra. Battery does not become hot when charging or during use.

I use the platinum 2x 3500 and it is the best thing. Battery is amazing. Never need to carry a charger. I charge every night and easily goes all day under medium to heavy use. I think my best has been 7 hour screen on time and 20 hours on 3g before I plugged it in. On wifi all weekend it does 40+ hours

GN2 Spare Battery Charging System/Stand

I just ordered this with the 50% off coupon:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
To me, it seemed like a no-brainer: a portrait/landscape stand with a spare battery charger built in PLUS it comes with a spare battery for the SAME PRICE as a replacement battery. I've always liked having a desktop dock so i can easily use my phone as an alarm clock, but with the usb on the bottom of this phone, it'd mean that the dock will be in portrait mode. Although i'll need to manually connect the USB to charge the phone while it's on the stand, i'll be able to have it in landscape mode while charging, plus i can use the same USB to either charge the phone or the spare battery.
Can anyone think of any drawbacks of this? I was eyeing the smart-dock, but (besides being out of stock), it lists at $100, so even with the 50% off, it's still expensive and only works in portrait. (I'm going to pick up the MHL 7 to 11 pin adapter so that i can use my old MHL with this phone for HDMI instead, so i see no need for the more expensive dock.)
Has anyone seen/bought one of these or had one for a different phone?
-d

I also jumped in on this deal for the 50% off price and having an extra battery to rotate.
I really want that multimedia dock though... :angel:

Charge stand is $49.99 but with 50% off is $24.99, as stated there is a code floating around these forums, or register your phone.
The multimedia stand is $99 but is not in stock yet.

Perfect!! Just what I was looking for... rather than carrying a car charging kit when I travel it is much easier for me to keep an extra charged battery I can pop if it gets low.
But with 6 hours screen time, I don't think that will happen very often!

And now its gone...I have to keep an eye on this because its an awesome deal.

If the dock actually charges the phone while it's docked, it would have been amazing. Otherwise, it's an okay deal for a battery and charger.
You can get the OEM charger dock without the battery on ebay for about $10 bucks

You maybe right. Most of us will still have charge left after 12 hours of pretty use. Since the phone is new, I've been using it a lot, configuring, testing, etc. Yet at the end of the day, I am still staring at 40%. But for $25, which include A/C charger, battery charger/holder, and the included battery, it is a hard deal to pass up. It will come in handy on a long day at the amusement park.

I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean my phone has lasted all week long on a single charge haha. I mean every day I'm going to sleep (long 17 hour days) and the phone is still on 20-40 percent depending on how badly I abuse it. The only day I killed it to 0% was the first day I got it because my battery came charged to about 55%

Ever notice looking on ebay for extra batteries look at the supposedly oem samsung battery..Many pictures don't have the watermark sticker on them....It should have them on the top ..opposite side where the pins are. anyone else notice that?
