i suggest you to buy it from official samsung service centre or smartphone hub as these sellers in ebay etc are not trustworthy as far as genuine ness of the battery goes
i bought it from samsung service centre for 950inr, here in india....

Just keep in mind one thing, size of battery = capacity

I just wonder how Extended Battery is with 1500mAh, our normal value is 1500mAh.

No, exactly the same size as the original battery. As well as power capacity is much longer than the original. As the name implies double power battery.

I got it at the center of a special trading centers Mobile and accessories in the country's capital, Jakarta. But now if you want to look on google, there seems to have its online sales. You can look it up on google. But I cannot be sure whether it is available for sale online at your place. I'm sorry for it.

Woa 3000 mAh?
You should post battery backup usage later on
Curious on how long it'll last on continuous 3G usage
I only got about 2 hours max, or almost 2h30mins if I limit the cpu freq on stock battery

Mmmmh ... I guess my daily battery usage is quite stable. I recall with regular activity my internet (3G mode) without wifi and without the use of phone and sms as needed. I can reach as much as one and a half the day more. Unlike during the original battery, I only get a day time use only 8 hours.
Note: on average every two hours once in 24 hours using the internet. and my mobile data is off continuously. And Yes, I do a bit of overclocking to 1.15 GHz
Maybe next time I'll show you.

Yes, that's my daily use, senior. I use it all-saving mode. And while all-round needs to be, and even then did not have many hours I think. Because I'm always support energy-efficient world. The important thing is I do not have to lose until significant moments, when having to deal with a job that requires me to connect to the internet. To call and sms I have a separate number for it. So my device is specifically for work-related activities, hobbies (not games) that must be connected to the internet only.

Magic Extended Battery

I was wondering if anyone has spotted a extended battery for the magic/ion yet? I should be getting my Ion any day and I'd love to have one. I've found no useful results on google.
The device is only a few weeks old, so don't expect to see one for maybe another month or 2.
Actually now that I have had time to play with my Ion; It gets better battery life than what my G1 did with my extended 2600mah Innocell battery. I can't believe the difference. This is what the G1 should have been.
1760mah Extended Magic Battery
His transaction history seems sound and he claims it is 1760mah. I ordered one. I'll let ya know what happens.

anyway, be good to know if the battery off ebay makes a difference for you
Ive got a new battery
Not sure if from this seller but its 1760mah, its the same physical size as before.
I need a decent battery app that will show all the tech details which I'll post screenshots of, any ideas

The item is coming from Europe. I ordered it at the end of June and I'm still waiting. I'm pretty disappointed in the time this has taken. This completely goes against the feedback left on his account.
I never did receive the battery. I'll be getting my money back. Although Yoobbao is now offering 2600MAH Batteries! I ordered one and should be receiving it shortly.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

The Magic already handles battery life a hell of alot better than the G1 but with so much battery... I don't expect to need to charge it that often.

True that, if I was just making some calls or text messaging i wouldn't need to charge it for at least a couple of days. Some occassions, for example hiking, I tend to leave GPS on all day to record my tracks as well as access some data apps here and there, which I notice the data usage is usually the one to blame that drains the battery fairly quickly. If a bigger battery could rest assure that would be awesome.
The thing with owning a phone like the magic, is that you don't want to stick to just a few calls and texts, when you have so much more at your disposal. Otherwise I would have stuck with my old Nokia and only charged it once every several days.

Exactly, my Sony Ericsson C902 normaly lasts from mon-fri no problem with texting and calling.
With a phone like the magic you do want to make most out of it, and mine normally gives me a full day of continous use. Originally i only used to get half a day as i hammerd it but a few good tweaks make a MASSIVE difference.
- get a brightness widget and just adjust it as required. i have it at 40%.
- get an over clocking app and underclock it when screen is off or having less use. (root needed)
- get a task killer, apps runing in background can drain it too. Well they seem to. (root needed).
Anyway, whats the update on the new battery Gimpeh mate.

It shipped monday with expedited shipping. Keep in mind it is coming from China. I've been using the donation version of Advance Task Manager forever now. Whats the difference between that and Task Killer? I've looked at the description and it appears the same. I wish one of these could be set to auto kill apps that start up. Throughout the day I'll open up task manager only to see that Foobook and a few others are idling again after killing them earlier in the day. Annoyances!
No real difference really, just that task killer has a widget aswell that shows number of apps running and upon clicking it, it kills everything.
I only went over to tasKiller as the advanced task manager app expired.

Mugen Power now has 3 batteries for Magic: 1550, 2600 and 3650 mAh. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=htc+magic
Click to expand...

Damn! Looks like I'll be getting the 3650 now. Anyone want a 2500?
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this board, so i want greet all first.
Looking on the mugen power site, I've realized that with 2600mAh or 3650mAh extended battery you are force to change the battery covery due the size of the battery, and also your phone will become much ticker, it's right?
While I'm pretty happy with the stock Magic battery, looking on the mugen power site i have seen that 1550mAh extended battery doesn't require a cover battery change, so i would be happy to give it a try and mantain the thin shape of the Magic. Anyone can confirm me that the 1550mAh battery doesn't require a cover battery change?
Last question i'm in Italy and i hasn't been able to uderstand where this company is located on both about us and customer service there is some dummy text ,and there are no information on the contact page. The only information that i have is that domain is registred to an'Hungarian man.
So in few word is this site trustable? anyone here has experiece with this battery? They ship from Europe North America or Asia?
Sorry for all this question, but about a month ago the local national tv reported the case of a woman which changed the battery of his phone whith a chinese one, and the phone/battery exploded in her hands.
Thanks all in advance

Considering that it's not really that much bigger than what we currently have, is it really worth it? Please tell us how they are when you get them!
Personally I'm holding back for something with a bigger capacity atm, provided you two can't prove me wrong in thinking that the above battery isn't big enough to warrant its price
you're not going to get a much bigger battery on the mozart due to the design of its casing that does not allow for 3rd party battery covers, hence the batteries have to be of the same size unlike the extended batterys that were available previously for earlier HTC models.
from what I've heard from people who've used this battery, it gives about 6 hrs extra from heavy usage, which isn't that bad

i'm hoping the additional 500 mAh will provide some benefit. Mugen's batteries have worked well for me in the past, so i'm expecting the same improved battery life. in the US, the T-Mobile G2 battery also works with the Mozart and costs about $35 US dollars. for me it's worth paying $10 more for a battery that provides about 40% more mAh.

If you could please, that would be wonderful ^__^
mine arrived today as well (in the US) and i will test for a few days before giving feedback. to my surprise, mine was 80% charged when i checked on the phone. I checked the % charge using the HTC Battery TestTool from this post.
i'm in the 3rd cycle of charges/discharges(it must make five cycle to have the complete power of the battery) i connect off my phone since 9.am it's now almost 5.pm & the percentage of the battery is near to 70%,very impressive
i take 3-4 call(25-30mn in all),send messages,listen music during one hour with equlizer,my E-mails is synchronized,luminosity to automatic( i put it usually on "low") & go to internet with 3g mode,go to other apps in wifi,...
i will post later when the complete cycle of chargers/dischargers are done
i'm on cycle 1 and my results are not as good: Monday my phone lasted 12 hours (3% power remaining). i had 113 push emails to one account (19 replies via the phone), 15 push emails to another account, 94 minutes of calls, bluetooth on for 8 hours, 40 minutes of call on bluetooth and 27 text msgs. for me this is an above average use day. will use another 2 days before my next follow up.

Mugen Power 1700mAh Extended Battery [HLI-XT610SL]

Anyone that have experience of this battery? I have ordered one from here but out of stock so will take a while.

Nothing and nearly 100 views? Isn't this very interesting? I think it is anyway...
Edit: Was shipped today. Any tips on how to test it?
Too expensive! You can get a cheap one off ebay, probably are the same OEM. Battery Left or Battery Calibrator.
Does this thing stick out? Or can you use the standard battery door, along with standard cases?

Nope, actually the Mugen battery was more expensive from ebay. And those cheap ones are crap so not even worth the shipping cost.

No, it fits under the standard cover. Tighter fit but it fits.
Have now charged it 3 times and it seems like the battery time is at least 22% longer. Usually I would charge my battery during night and use it during the day. At best it would die when i turn on the screen in the morning if I would have forgot to charge it. But usually it dies around 6 in the evening. So lets say it lasts 12-18 hours in normal use.
The Mugen battery charged during the night lasts for 18-24 hours. So I'm pretty satisfied ;-)
Nice tip... I want one of those.

Galaxy S3 mini battery problem

Hello
I have a problem. when i recharge my phone from 1% to 39% without using the phone. it just stop recharging and discharge instead.. to 36% . i rebooted the phone to restart recharging and i lost -14% so it have 22% left. when my battery got 50% and i reboot one more. the battery got glitched and get +30% more power so it have 80%. i don't know what's going on with the battery. my phone is rooted and i lost warranty... what to do?
normally the battery should not give itself 20-30% more power or lose power when reboot.
UPDATE: My battery is a little bit swollen now. i'm gonna to buy the new battery.

That's right, there are a few original ones on EBay. But I think if you want the smallest chance on a fake battery, you better look at the phone stores themself.

Yeah seeing the same today. Second to screen in battery listing.

Time without a signal is at 0%. If it hit 20% or more, it'll affect your battery life negatively. I imagine when you took this screenshot, you probably only had 1-2 hours of screen time? Cell standby will be higher because, well, it was standing by.

Actually I had this too. I changed my APN to "phone" instead of "nxtgenphone" along with the other values associated with traditional ATT LTE under "phone". Fixed it right up, get fantastic battery now.
I'd seen this as well, getting high usage by "Cell Standby" even though my time without a signal is usually 0-1%. I'm on the Pure Edition version with T-Mobile though.
Second straight day that cell standby is using as much battery as screen. That's with currently 1.5 hours screen time.

Same here. Off charger for 20 hours at 11% with 2 hours screen time, and cell standby has had good signal all day, but shows as the same percentage as screen (17% each). Cell standby seems to eat way more battery than it did on my HTC One M8. Not sure why, but would love to have a fix because battery is barely acceptable on this phone - typically with any meaningful usage I am struggling to get through the day.
Same thing is happening to me, pure edition on AT&T
Same here. XT1093 US Cellular.

Can you give more details about what you changed about your APNs? Did you revert to an older version or just an alternate version? Any more info would be helpful. I don't know what "phone" vs "nxtgenphone" mean since I've never had an AT&T device, but I am familiar with USCC APNs.

It came with one named nxtgenphone.. I'm not familiar with what they actually are either, but I changed it to phone which I used on my Nexus 5.

I hardly think 16% is high. Mine is usually higher than that and I still get over a days worth of battery. Something has to be using the battery, even when you arent using the phone.

It is high. Check against any other device with similar usage patterns and you'll see standby around 5%-10%. The radios are definitely using more power in this device than others.

It does look bad in the battery menu but after I enabled ART I got a dramatic change in battery life. It's hard not to think about what's using it, mine lasts more than a full day though, even with 20% no service time.

Imagine what you would get without the unnecessary radio drain. Just because you are getting acceptable battery life doesn't mean there are no issues.

It also means you can't do anything about it but wait and not preoccupy yourself.

You're right, nobody should bring up potential issues or talk about bugs.

Please, potential issues...
It's a radio. Give it one update. Bigger problems have been had.

Yes it's a radio on standby that uses 20% if the battery. Yes I realize that number is relative. But if at the end of the day my battery is completely dead and cell standby use 20% then that's 20% . Maybe you are okay with you phone wasting you battery, but I get a little aggravated. Cell standby was a battery drain in some of the early android phones and it was an actual bug.
I read somewhere that the pure edition will get an update to enable a few more LTE bands, could this possibly help with the cell stand by?

Could they do something else at the same time to improve it? Possibly. But adding LTE bands by itself wouldn't make the radios use less power.
