I bought one just for that reason, instead of having 1 battery, I'll soon have 3!
i bought this about a month ago and i love it. The most ive used in one day was two batteries and i just leave the extra in the car. Alot of peace of mind when you know you have 2.5+ days of battery
Thanks for the post. I just ordered mine. What a great deal. This ups the resale value of the phone too, when you throw in 2 extra batteries and an extra charger.
I bought this back in October and love it. The batteries don't seem to last *quite* as long as the stock, but pretty close. And they're still doing just fine, 6-7 months later. I love the charger - you can use it to charge the battery and the phone simultaneously. Very handy.
FANTASTIC! Just ordered mine.
I bought 2 batteries and a charger from that same company for my touch pro. The quality was excellent and just about as good as the OEM batteries. I wouldn't say they're 1500... more like 1300 like stock, but still. As stated above, I leave one fully charged in my car, and the either i just put in my pocket as a backup. To say that I'm a "power user" would be an understatement. I'd much rather carry an extra battery than have a bulky 3000+ mah battery bulking up my phone.
THANKS!!!
Here is thought it was a 21,500mah battery....dang....

I may just find an ebay listing with just the charger since I already bought the "2000mah" Andida and really don't need any extra batteries. Though that charger is just so cool and handy looking!!
thinking about it...
just curious, it doesnt look like this deal comes with a usb cord. is that correct? i would like to have an extra one. i still might go for it though. i am tired of always having this phone connected to the charger. i use wifi tethering quite a bit so the battery drains pretty quickly.
also, does the included charger work fine for the stock battery?
cheers,
ryan

As iviyth0s said it is shipping from Hong Kong. I have had stuff shipped from there. Bare minimum it will take 2 weeks. Normally 3 weeks. If it goes past 4 weeks then it got delayed in customs(or worse, lost) and then it is anyones guess when you will get it.
has anyone found these from a site other than eBay? I hate eBay with a Passion.

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.

Do this at your own risk, remember that you have 1 year warranty, you should first try getting samsung or AT&T to replace.
Would be great if a replacement back was available. I contacted Samsung and they said one is not available and do not have an ETA when it will be.

Even though it's not directly from Samsung, this battery is from the same website as the LCD + Digitizer and it only costs $15. It might be worth posting.

Exactly, if it doesn't fit you can buy a replacement back for around 11 (see op) and try to modify and seal. May take some work but it would be sweet!

Only one way to find out
If you can get a replacement housing and a s4 camera sensor and then mod them together... I would use some type of sealant and put it around the edge of the sensor and take a drop of water and see if it gets past the housing. Of course do this before putting your system board in the housing... Just as a test. Not sure if it is worth it to you but if we could successfully mod the S4 camera on the active and keep water proof I think most active users will do it. It appears that samsung thought about using the 13 mp sensor but changed their minds because of supply demands.
If I had some extra money I would give it a shot. But my wife would get mad for me tossing out around 30-50 bucks for just a chance of a working mod. any unmarried people out there willing to try?

Has anyone found a good dock yet? I found a few on Amazon but none of them are specifically for the g2.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Did you search before starting this thread? I think not. This has been asked several times.
Are you looking for a car dock or one for home? Truth is, there are not very many made specifically for the G2. And the generic ones are pretty much crap in my opinion.
Yeah I did actually but all I could find were threads about a car dock but I'm looking for a home dock.

So when I'm laying in bed or at my desk I can just grab my phone without having to worry about it getting unplugged and looking for the charger, I can simply just set it back on the dock after im done.

I just use a wireless charging pad. I'd imagine the Nexus 4 & 5, and Galaxy s3 and and st docks might work. a centered USB port is really all you need if you're looking for a dock that plugs in

why is this verizon only? the charging port is in the same spot on the other models. I thought the verizon model would use wireless charging. but since this has a port it should technically work for any model right?

Agreed. I paid almost $100 with shipping to get a POGO dock for my GNex. I stream Pandora all day at work so being able to just pick my phone up and go is super convient and not have to worry about the audio plug also.

Well 2 things. The dock doesn't do media only charges/data transfer so I still have to manually disconnect the audio plug which kind of sucks.
Secondly I do not know anyone has the G2 other then on VZW. So mail me yours and I will try it out.

Agreed, but if it doesn't work you wasted all that money.
I just plugged the tab into the dock and there was a stream of smoke and a burnt smell from the back right hand side - the dock got immediately hot! So I unplugged it - let it cool, plugged the tab in again and more smoke
Left it a while longer - and now the dock has gone from registering 100% to 0% - oddly all the keys and touchpad still work fine. I don't trust it now in case it catches fire! Looks like the battery fried itself somehow.....
Sad.
