Hi, does anybody use extended battery on his device? I want to know if those battery are more thicker then a regular battery or they have the same size, because it's looks very thin in pictures, and I don't want to make my phone more thicker to hold!
Extended battery

I recently bought a new extended battery, with 3800 mAh capacity. It's thicker, like two stock batteries stacked on each other. But with the battery, also came a modified back casing. The phone is thicker and heavier, but i get twice the battery life.
Be aware though. The android kernel for this particular model only supports 1900 mAh capacity. So a bigger one might not be compatible with your system, causing false battery percentage readings, which will tell you that the battery is empty, even though it's not. There's a workaround however, but you would probably need to modify the kernel battery drivers. Simply speaking, to tell your device that it has a bigger battery (it won't figure it out on its own).
Or you could get something like a power bank integrated into the rear cover. When the primary batt gets low, you flip the switch and it starts charging.

The one i am aware of (Zero lemon) has a slimmer design but then most of them come with back covers to make up for the increase or decrease in size but the back cover not only replaces the one on the back of the phone but it also becomes like a protector so you cannot put another cover on top of it. Even if it is heavier it gives almost double the battery life
I just bought Maxx extended battery. The capacity is huge! 6200mah.
But since I installed the battery, feel like it hasn't really detected the actual amount of the new battery since the estimation time for battery consumption doesn't make sense.
Like for instance right now it's showing for balance of 82%, I can use the phone 5 hours more only.
