no, im not. even tho im having exceptional battery life, i want this corrected. ive been searching online all day. i cant imagine how much better it will get
 
Mine took 10 days to get here. If any of you worry about the thickness, don't. It feels very natural. It will protect your camera lens. The case didn't fit tight and totally flush, but it's barely noticeable. And for $21?? I am totally happy with this!!!
 
Who needs battery boss when we are telling you that the phone lasts a pretty good while on a charge. I'm at 63% after being unplugged for 13 hours and 4 hours of awake time.

Apologies. Have been busy the last two weeks so haven't made it to the post office to send it off to him yet. Maybe this week though. He still hasn't tested the ebay one it seems.

But yeah looking at my System Panel charts, I'm getting about 2-3 full days of use on this battery and a full day or more (less than 2 for sure) on the OEM.
 
Just received my 2000mah battery from eBay...great for $9.95 free shipping. This is the same size as the original battery which means i get more power without bulking up the phone. And most important to me, I can still use my case which I love.
 
To all of u using this Chinese battery how u guys liking it so far,is it worth the shot?I've found a 3500 with the door for around $12 on eBay.
 
can someone help me out here. I have the battery posted in the original post.
this is now my 3rd full charge. I've let it completely drain 3 times and fully charged 3 times. Should i continue doing this or just charge as needed now?

Today i have an up time of 11hrs and awak time of 3.5hrs. i've done alot of 3g web browsing today. I'm at 50%. Is this considered good? I mean it's alot better than my stock battery but should i be getting more out of it? gps is off.
 
Is it enough for you? If so that's all that matters. I wouldn't drain it till the phone dies just drain it down to about 20% or so.

After my 2nd charge, mine lasted about 20hrs w/gps and wifi turned on w/about 3 hours of games, maybe 1 hour of internet usage. This got it down to 10%. However 2 hrs of the game play was toward the end of the usage. I have no baseline and have no idea if this is good.

well it is, but i'd like to get the most out of it. I've changed every setting possible to help my battery.

How bad do widgets affect your battery? i had my gallary and calendar as full homescreen widgets but removed them to see how it affects battery life.
 
The battery will reach max capacity in about 6 charges or so. If you get the same performance from the last half of your batteryas the first half you will get about 7hrs awake time. IMO thats pretty good. Remember that 3g web surfing can KILL you battery if you dont have a strong signal. If your signal is low like 2bars it will eat your battery faster than if you had 5 bars

I only get 1 or 2 bars in my apartment although i surf using wifi, I'm sure that hurts my battery usage.


I charged the battery in my phone all nite powered off for 9 hrs+.
 
so are there any actual cases that are colorful that dont need to be modified to fit this phone with the chinese battery?

im thinking that using wifi will actually save you battery if your in an area where 3g is low. It probably wastes more battery searching for the 3g signal than your wifi.
