Extended Battery & Good $ales Post :-)

I was hoping to receive mine today....I should get it monday..I ordered mine like 20 minutes or so after you blaxican25. I must live a little further away.

The moon must have a saturday delivery.lol

Thanks for posting your experience blaxican25.

It satisfies my curiosity about my battery.:)
 
Make sure to charge to 100 percent then calibrate and let your battery drain tell phone shuts off then charge back too full and your good to go,:-)
 
Whats up fellas,
I too bought the $25 verizon ext. Batt. But it seems with moderate use it only last a day,over clocked @, 1800mhz or 450mhz, it doesnt matter! Did they have a bad batch of cells?
How long is it lasting for you guys?

Also, if you want a case for the phone, at this time no company makes a badass case. So, youll have to cut the back out ghetto style to get that much needed protection. I.did this to my metro 3 piece case, shell & the silicon liner. Works great, just dont show anyone the back lol!

How is the sound through the speaker? Thats weird that they moved the speaker hole away from the actual speaker.

I had bought the one from verizon(same back cover diff carrier name) -The sound is much better from the phone-use it at work at least 10 hours a day for tunes :)
 
Thats cool. I was just curious. Im not buying another battery until this one bites the dust so Ill keep that in mind. I got lucky with my battery apparently. I use my phone all day and have alot of battery left at the end of the day, like 30% after 14 hrs.Looking at everyone else's stock battery life, I doubt Id get lucky again so Ill buy an extended battery when this one dies.

I don't think ur stock battery will die the best thing about the extended battery is you dont have to worry about running out of power man it took forever to drain my extended battery after I calibrated it and I had all my apps running overclocked at 1.8ghz with the screen brightness on high, had the 4g on all night to lol.

I dont worry about running out of battery. I use it all day and I dont use wifi only 4g. But I only OC to 1.4 because anything more is just a battery killer and thats it.

I just received my battery and i'm not real happy with it..It appears to be a used battery.It came in a zip-lock baggy with no original packaging.If i had an option to buy a generic new battery or a used OEM battery i would choose the generic.
If he ran out of new batteries he could have just refunded my money.

Just curious to what y'all would do about this?

The auctions states this:New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag. See the seller's listing for full.

This item is an OEM cell phone battery and battery door for the LG Esteem Android Smartphone. Both items are OEM accessories, the battery door has the MetroPCS logo. The items are new and in original packaging with free shipping included.

It came in a undersized baggy..It has a few scuff marks.

I guess i will ask seller why it has no original packaging.

Man went the whole day yesterday and still had 75 percent. Battery left wow at least the battery works did you try it. Post a picture of your extended battery and back casing.
 
I think the original packaging is bulky or at least they will not fit in the envelope. IF seller ship just the way like that, i don't think the price will be $10 because the cheapest small box priority mail is about $ 4.5. Anyway, i see on ebay the cheapest US seller with 3000mah + batt cover is $17.
