So I found this battery on Amazon about a week ago for $12.99.. Ordered it and I am extremely impressed. Running Stock Rom + Root, constant use daily.I was really getting pissed off with the battery that came with the phone, it just doesn't do it justice.

Pro's - Been using the phone (50% Brightness, Downloading videos, youtubing, texting, phone calls, tinkering with GO Launcher stuff, almost played through a whole game of Words with Friends) Came off the charger at 3 P.M. today, legit screen on using the phone action about 4-5 hours tonight and it's now 11:25 P.M., battery is just hitting 65%! Extremely impressed with the performance of this battery and would recommend it to anyone that needs some extra juice.

Cons - It makes the phone about twice as thick towards the bottom half (I actually like this, it makes it much easier to hold on to and just grip in general). Also adds a significant amount of weight to the phone but nothing annoying, just saying.

UNSURE - Not sure about the NFC Capabilities of the battery, no one around me here has a phone with NFC so I can't test it... Honestly for the performance I could give a S*** less about NFC whether I keep it or lose it.

<Amazon Product ID> (Too few posts to hyperlink yet): B005Q75A84

Yeah, I just ordered this one too.

I had one on my captivate and I really liked it.

What does it matter if your phone is thin but you keep getting warnings that you need to charge it?


On my captivate if I got down to half of the battery with the larger battery I didn't have to worry, I had good 8 hours of use left.

Just confirmed it does NOT have this boot-loop issue common with the aftermarket batteries. Operates the exact same as the stock battery, still unsure of the NFC capabilities.

Sorry, but I think GTmax stuff is not that good, I purchased 3 batteries made by GTmax, there is no description of mA with just some generic label. Also, out of the 3, 2 were junk lasting only about 10hours with minimal use. Only one battery was decent, pretty close to OEM.

Also, looking at the battery debug info *#*#INFO#*#*, these batteries are more volatile than OEM, as the amps and temperture fluctuate more than normal.

Good Battery Possible Bad Cover?

I turned my phone off to put this new battery in. I fully charged it before turning it on.

It lasted 42 Hours before it died.
I was running Bluetooth, Pandora and Wifi Medium-Heavy Duty.

So the battery seems good, But it seems the back cover wasn't crafted all that well UNLESS I just got a bad one. It seems like a corner of it won't stay pressed down. Its not a huge gap, but it is somewhat noticeable.

Is anyone else think that their back cover doesn't fit all that well or is it just me?
