Just received My Multimedia Desktop Dock from Amazons' BlueMall. It works like a charm. No standard battery included. Travel charger, USB Cable and, Desktop Dock. Works great and it fits LG Esteem WITH 3000mAh Extended Battery. Amazon.com: OEM LG Multimedia Charging Dock for LG Revolution VS910: Electronics No more questions necessary.

i just got the LG dock for the Esteem, as well as an extra OEM standard sized battery. i love the dock, and it will fully charge a battery in just over 2.5 hours......i have my phone sitting in the dock a lot when i am home now. it's got nice weight, and th eLG logo lights up when you are working or charging......very cool!

Thx for reply.
So the price is for just the dock?
Did you get the battery online as well?

If it is the LG dock it will be in the box
Hello to all
I kept seeing stories about MetroPCS associates that their esteems run on one charge for 9 or 10 hours and I thought it was all lies.
Well it's NOT
Simply just go to SETTINGS/ACCOUNTS AND SYNC and uncheck (disable) the BACKGROUND DATA.
You will be AMAZED on how long the phone is gonna last.
My experience from yesterday: I had the phone fully charged about two hours before going to bed, I played Angry Birds for about half an hour, I slept, did some texting and some browsing upon waking up, AND AFTER 9 HOURS AND 33 MINUTES I AM STILL AT 65%.
Try it is no joke.
Only drawback is of course that you don't get real time notifications like Facebook or Twitter stuff.
The solution: either visit the service from the phone by opening it's application or just turn on the BACKGROUND DATA every like 30 min or every hour just for a minute and everything will update.
Needless to say you will spent in that minute as much battery you spent on the last hour
It's almost funny but it's not.
Cheers to all hope this works.
Please post a better solution if anyone has one.

Or you can just install Juice Defender from the Market and it will disable this for you when you turn off the screen.
NOPE........
I installed this app and didn't do much for me.
Admittedly I didn't go in depth on the features but as the app comes with it's recommended settings did absolutely nothing to improve battery life.

These are an old concept when cell phones had lower battery life. I had an old LG phone back in 1998 when I was in Korea. Basically, they don't have better batteries and so we need to get used to carrying two -- they think. I think LG has fallen off the wagon. They are supposed to be an "octopus company", and I think they lost their touch like the Japanese zaibatsu did and like our counterparts here have.

On top of that it screws with your internet connection when you have streaming audio going. Like most applications -- and devices -- life is probably better before you use it...

In Juice Defender simply go into configure apps and set Pandora, or any other streaming app, to enable/screen off.
Before Juice Defender leaving my phone on 6.5 hours it would at 75% doing nothing more than idling. After installing Juice Defender, 10 hours with at least an hour of surfing or playing games my Esteem is at 85%.
