I have seen those on ebay. Has anybody tried those? Same type of battery costs 10 times more with Mugen.
This may shock you but the Chinese lie about their batteries.

didn't you already make this joke?
Thanks guys! Something too good to be true I guess.
Actually I bought this battery, cover and charger off ebay 2 weeks ago and imho its awesome, typically my stock battery gives me 7.5 hrs screen time over 1.5 days, the 6500mah battery gives me TWELVE hours screen time over 2 days. I only switch wifi or 3g/4g on when I need them with sync off and this applies to the stock result as well, I know china batteries are usually sub standard and do not perform anywhere near their quoted mah capacity but in this case its pretty good and for £8.50 delivered exceptional value, if I get ONE year of consistent performance I will buy it again.

I believe these have the capacity of two chinese batteries in one, whatever that means. Still it should be better than stock battery.

can you take pics with the the stocc and ext battery, want to see how much it stands out. See if it's worth it compare to just tweaking settings.

Mugen is overpriced. Why not Momax? They use LG cells. I've had a fat Momax extended battery on my SGS2 for 18 months and no issues at all. It lasted about twice as long as expected from the numbers.
Really cheap batteries leave me nervous. I sleep with my phone charging next to me and would not like to wake up in a fire or worse.
But Mugen? I'm quite unlikely to drop $100 for a battery. But won't go for $10 ones either. If Momax doesn't release their extended for the Note II soon, I'll just find something similar.

Looks like the cheap battery makers should all raise their price a bit and buyers will flock in.

I purchased two 7600mah batteries for both the wife's N2 and my own off eBay. May not be true measurements, but awesome life when not corded. They were purchased for about $12 usd. All I can say is it might not be Mugen, but close enough for the bang of the buck.

Well, the Veblen effect might apply to extended batteries too. But in general if the difference is too big I tend to suspect that they are using cheap cells and/or lying regarding capacity. It is not always easy to measure the numbers accurately.
They have stock in the Sprint Store. I called yesterday playing dumb to see if I could get a store to sell early. I was told it would be released today. So I take my happy little but over to the Sprint Store as soon as it opens this morning. Lady at the counter tells me yes they have some in stock and yes I can purchase one. She goes back and grabs a box and brings it up to begin the purchase process.
Then a manager stops her. He informs her that they cannot sell them yet and he sends me on my sad little heartbroken way.

I was just so close and then shot down. Its like going to the Sprint Store to pick up a phone, thinking youre going to get it and then you're shot down. Theres no other way to complete the analogy because that is literally one of the worse things to possibly happen.

When I was in support and receiving lot of random stuff for folks I found a Windows desktop widget (of all things) that worked really well. You just put in the tracking info and it would show the latest real time info in the widget and you could even click on each delivery and see a map of where the last update had come in and when on the map.
Alas, I ordered from HTC and still have no tracking info.
UPS just left.. no phone! :crying:
Just checked mine and it show's 2nd day air as well, with a scheduled delivery of Monday, 4/22.... WTF. Guess we'll see

From my experiences it's always cheaper at a Sprint Corporate store. Example:I live next to a "sprint" marked store and I was buying a note II and they wanted $799 for it.. I then found my closest sprint corporate location and bought the phone from them for $600..

I placed an order on 10-4 with T-Mobile.com and it's on backorder. I noticed that a lot of places are sold out. Did Samsung not make enough because of unknown demand?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
Not sure if they made enough or not but there are some at various stores around where I live. Also T-mobile is supposedly backordered quite heavily due to the massive mistake they made in including the gear in their 30% off accessories coupon. Great promotion for the consumer but no one knows when all of those orders will be fulfilled.

Yup, they definitely didn't make enough.. I almost did not get my phone upon release cuz all the gear was gone. They said that they can't sell the phone without the gear?? But lucky enough they had one left, the one they were showing to all potential customers lol.

yeah still no gear here, major bummer wanted to see at least a demo unit
My Best Buy still has like 10-15 of them in stock in Various Colors. I got my manager to price match the T-Mobile price last week for 2 of them (one was for resale and one for me). I guess I got lucky on that. But they are to be found. Any if you want to play with one, any best buy with a Samsung store should have a live demo of a Gear there.
Here in Denver I had to drive all the way across town to get my jet black Gear. Most Best Buys are sold out.
I'm glad I purchased it. The features are awesome.

The price has dropped to about $240($60 cheaper than before) on the gear. I just noticed this today. BTW Best Buy will match the price if you show them in the store. Is this a sign of a slow down or a planned successor? Who knows... Just thought I would pass it along. 20% off makes the price much easier to swallow. :thumbup:

What I am waiting on.
Ordered.
Major reason I went with the Gear was for activity tracking.
I hope the pedometer and especially the heart rate monitor work well.
Also have mine ordered. Have my Sony Smartwatch 2 on ebay as we speak.
I hope they ship early.
With the Play Store anything can happen.
I just cancelled my moto 360 pre order for one of these.
I was worried the moto would look to big on my wrist, and I actually think this looks more gadgety than fashionable. I'm not a fashionable person... I am a geek.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Ordered mine on the first day. I am really not bothered about the look of the moto 360 - can't see why there is all the fuss. Fair enough, it's round, but it's very thick and has a large diameter. It does not look like a watch so I can't see why some people are always going on about the jewelery aspect.
I quite look of the the gear live especially in the pictures of it with the black analog watchface. In the pictures it almost looks like a real watch face and I hope it looks as good in real life. Of course, I am slightly concerned about the size of it on my wrist and hope it doesn't look like a small smartphone strapped to my arm but I muse say, it is a very elegant looking thing. I can't wait for the 7th and I think there is a very good chance they will ship before then.
Sold my gear 2 today for $250 and will be so happy to have a smart watch now that doesn't rely on TouchWiz and I can use it with Cyanogenmod, so long TouchWiz!
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I CANNOT wait for mine to get here either. But I must be patient... LOL! Wasn't so keen on smart watches and was holding out for the Razer Nabu. But after reading more about the latest Android Wear OS watches, the upcoming Google Fit app, and the awesome notifications added with the activity tracking ability of these latest watches (with heart rate monitor), I've decided to ditch the Nabu in favor of this baby. And I'm hella excited for it!
I was so impatient that I was debating whether to just get the Gear 2 Neo... Buuut the Tizen OS ecosystem and lack of Android Wear (not to mention the limitation to Galaxy devices only) turned me off to that idea. I think I will be way happier in the long run having to wait a week or two for my Gear Live as opposed to being stuck with a Neo and it's limitations for a long while.
Can't wait for everyone (and myself) to get their Gear Live!
