Extended External Battery

This looks like an interesting approach on external batteries for Galaxy NOTE 2.
I am a bit disappointed since I am sure is blocking NFC and may beloved wireless charging. I may give it a try for the times when traveling...
Here is the LINK . (later edit) I have found a BLACK version, different in design . Link is HERE

I had a case that was somewhat similar for my iPhone 3, it was the Mophie Juice Pack Air. I liked it and it definitely came in handy on more than one occasion. I'm kinda interested in this case, thanks for the heads up.

I think I am a bit damaged. First thing I think of when seeing this case "hey, that's a way to save the microUSB plug from wear and tear". My three latest phones of the last 6 years all did develop contact issues after a year or two, no matter how careful I was (too much charging, flashing and modding I guess)
That said, this don't look too bad. Slightly skeptical about quality, both in terms of fit/materials and the battery itself. Not necessarily a bad concept though.

I like the idea. Too bad there probably are next to no protective cases for it. Double the battery is always a good thing though.

well
is a case and a battery. that's the whole idea.

Nothing but bad reviews about those external battery packs. :thumbdown:

Unfortunately the case gives no protection. Even worse. It makes the device heavier, which means that when it falls on its face, you won't have to check if the glass is shattered. (Yes, that's what happened with my HTC One X!!)

You are exactly right. These battery packs only give a tiny portion of the juices the device needs. Furthermore, the device thinks it's on mains power, so the power savings etc. are not running.
This means the device uses more juice while it does not get it all, so the battery of the unit will not fill up, but run down almost as fast as when no battery pack is connected.

Guys, just get a portable charger. I'm gonna get one for myself.

I would like to put one of this external battery case in to the universal gameklip, which one do u recomend me?
Thanks!!

It blocks s-pen, and makes Note 2 even longer due to that battery extension. I haven't used it, just commenting about the picture. Plus, you will get only 3200 mAh of actual charge on it because conversion through usb connection will make it drop by about 30% due to inefficiency.

Should I get one?

Hello dear XDA friends, Although I don't post a lot I still love you all .
Anyway, I am really tempted to get a Mate S ($/€319) after my LG G3's screen basically broke in half, the battery exploded and the touchscreen only working 10%, it's basically useless right now and I need a phone to replace it for a while until I decide what's going to be my ''real'' phone (I hate Apple but the 7+ Camera is amazing but then again maybe note 7 refurbs will be cheap.) So yeah I need to bridge the gap and I want to gift it to a relative when I'm done with it.
So is it worth it for 300 bucks?

Hi,
I have the phone since 3 months now (rooted and latest rom version) and it is in overall very good but the battery. Screen is very great but although there are a good device manager, it doesn't stand a full day without reloading.
Also you can see from the different posts that this phone is not very popular among Android's cooks. So not a lot of answers and not a lot of tricks and tweaks. I regret the time I had a Nexus 4 where community was very active. Anyway, as I am really focused on battery life, this is the real flaw of this phone for me. But I guess there are not many phones that could do better.

What's the longest screen on time you got?

It actually depends what you gonna do with this phone.
I own it for last 8 months never really felt need for better battery during normal usage.
My typical usage with all the time brightness at auto and slider at max ( which on huawei even when inside usually means 80-90% brightness ) and outside always even when is dim day is 100% or boosted screen mode ends up with average 4:30-5h SOT with around 18-20hrs on battery. This is with about 60% wifi 40% 3g.
This includes bunch of social apps, youtube , music, calls, sms, light gaming of around 1hr per day.
The great thing about this phone is its soc and screen, the to S-amoled it never gets hot thus for it doesn't drain battery life fast like snapdragon devices.
Biggest fall of this soc is its GPU it isn't as good for heavy games like s810 devices for example.
If you're not a gamer I highly suggest this phone. If you have more money I suggest p9+, its a beast in all regards.
Here my current battery life stats

As you can see, I charged my phone and unplugged at 00.14. Wi-Fi off and no mobile data, no screen on. No apps running apart from home launcher and myProfile. All others are greenified. So in around 8h sleep it decreased by 20%.
I tried many tricks and I consider myself skilful for this (my LG G2 could last 3 days) but cannot do better with this one. The ROM is not good enough yet and update frequency is not good.

Got the LG G4 so this one can be closed

Real battery capacity?

Hello everybody! I own a Huawei P9 running Eva-L19 version. And using whatever root app inside my phone, they all shows that my phone has a 2900maH battery. What seems weird is that on every site, GSMArena etc. they all say that Huawei P9 has got a 3000maH battery. Few months ago I've dropped my phone and crack the screen and went into factory, I'm thinking would it be that my battery has been changed...? I don't remember what is the battery capacity showed before it went into factory, thats the problem! It would be kind for anyone to confirm with me what's their battery capacity. Thanksss

Normally wiping battery stats dont do anything in newer devices/android versions(in terms of making battery last longer), but you can try turning off phone, charge it to full and wipe battery stats. Maybe battery was disconnected and phone dont see it properly(but I doubt it... )
As for my phone Its 3000maH on all apps that check it.

Its just a number on some apps. It would be sad if your battery life would be worst than normal. Its imposible to say how long battery will last because everyone use phones differently, they have different apps working in background and features enabled/disabled but no matter of OS version average should be two days before battery on P9 reach 5%
And taht is with LTE turned off(that is one of most power hungry feature in every phone. Tip: just dont use it, HSPA is enough to stream even 1080 videos)
I normally have 40% at the end of the day because I have Gear Fit synced and I use NFC and GPS all the time, but even if phone would have 2900mah battery difference should be not bigger than 5% So dont worry about it that much.

Thanks a lot! Will try and monitor how my phone behaves this few weeks. But yeah, since its just 100mah, guess I'll just sleep with it

Question Accubattery showing Battery health at 47% for a new phone (1 month old)

I purchased this about a month ago. I have been reading a lot of posts out here about people having fairly low battery life. So I had installed Accubattery to see if the discharge is abnormal. I checked today and it seems like Accubattery is claiming that my battery is only at 50~% health. Now I am unsure that if this is because it is a genuine fault or because this phone is supposed to have 2 2500mAh batteries and Accubattery is detecting only one of them. Any idea about this?

I've had my 11T Pro for roughly two weeks and I have the same issue.
It doesn't read charging speed correctly which confuses it's health calculations.
I'm sure your phone is fine.

Those SOT numbers seem erratic. Some reasonable, others look impossible.
When you're using the browser not watching vids the usage should low.
As the previous poster mentioned it may just not have good sensing for battery usage.
Accubattery is only as good as the data it's getting. Even then it can screw up. I don't understand what's going on there.
Rather strange. I don't have that phone so I don't know what it's nominal run time should be. If it's running cool and you can get 8-10 hours SOT you're probably in the ball park.

Hmmm, okay. I'll continue observing my phone's behaviour then. I do get over 8-10 hours SOT on medium usage. Additionally, I read from other threads that the 120W charger isn't charging the phone fully and it makes sense to charge with a lower power charger. So I will try that as well. Will keep this thread updated if I see any improvements.

Accubattery doesn't work well with dual battery setup, that's why it's showing Battery health at 47%.
Set design capacity to 2500.

11T PRO has 2x 2500mah battery for ultra fast charging. Set the design capacity to 2500 and you will be fine.

This presents a potential problem in the future as one battery can degrade and fail independently of the other. You really need to be able to monitoring both.
If the manufacturer designed it properly each battery should have its own power controller in a perfect world. Not sure if this is so on any of the dual battery phones...

Question Why my battery life is so low?

I got this phone after seeing tons of reviews that Samsung S23 has amazing battery life
But i am ending up charging my phone twice a day because of very less battery life.
I am not a power user, mostly using phone for browsing and texting.
Yet the SOT is still so less?
I am using light mode in battery settings - Adaptive refresh rate - mostly wifi- Dual Sim 5G
25W official Samsung charger.

From your picture you can't see that the battery has been charged for the last 19 hours.
So where are those twice daily charges?

You are using two sims, if the signal is not great or will drain battery.

First of all, turning 5G for dual sims drains the battery so fast and secondly, I can see very well from the image you posted that you haven't charged your phone for 19 hours and some and that's great battery life to me. Also, if you happen to be using your screen at 2k or so, you better lower it at 720p or at least 1080p cause remember that galaxy S23 is only 3900 mAh and that's not a very big battery capacity like its bigger brother the S23 Ultra which is 5000 mAh and can pretty well handle intensive work! Hope my answer helped you.

Facebook is not your battery's friend.

For those who are saying i didn't charge it from 19 hours, please note that standby time was long because i charged it at 12am last night and then binge watched Netflix on TV, slept late and then woke up late too.
So mostly it was standby.
If i am using it regularly, then the SOT is very less.
Please see the SOT in the screenshot.

neither twitter nor instagram... and facebook is the most offending application of the battery in the android world, i agree with you

removed due to lack of accurate and or useful infromation

You have two sim cards active, three and a half hour of screen on time, and 19 hours of screen off time. I think it is great.
Peogle that shows a great screen on time, they do not stop using it. No screen off time.
