I can say that this is a great battery!

Pros:

Battery life

More phone to hold onto

Droid x horizontal belt case from verizon fits nicely

Cons:

Phone is still slippery

No gel cover (tpu) available...i hate this, it really bothers me because I have no drop protection our extra grip

Hope this helps...

Edit:

The battery looks identical to generic ones on ebay...weird

Has anyone tried the stock extended battery?

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EB145...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309739191&sr=1-3

I think I may go this route since the top is still skinny, hopefully it'll be easier to slide into my pocket.
[Fascinate Accessories] Rinzy20:
One of the reasons I was going to get this battery was because of what looked like a matte back. Are there still any of those out there?
[Fascinate Accessories] TheChillburger:
Do you guys know if the Gorilla Gadgets battery is one of the fakes?
[Fascinate Accessories] jp9506:
I am using the Stock extended battery. Here's a quick review.

As far as looks are concerned, it is ugly. As someone else stated here, it looks like the phone has a tumor. If you can get past that the battery is great.

Case is slippery just like stock. I roughed it up with some sandpaper and now I am very happy with it.

Battery life is amazing. When I was on UKB 2.0 I was getting 45-50 hours per charge. Now I have moved to MIUI (just got it working), so Softlocker is killing my battery. I expect to be closer to 12-14 hours, once we get a MIUI release that allows to phone to come out of sleep for a call, I hope to be back to where I was on UKB.

Personally, the look doesn't really bother me and I find it fairly comfortable in my hand.

Any comparisons between teh 2400 and the 3000?

Not sure which to get. And to the posters who claim the phone has been on for three days and the battery only went down like 30%, you aren't heavy users right?

My battery usually dies around 8 hours right now and I use it pretty heavily. (a normal day = ~40 SMS, 10 MMS, email push, xda and wsj apps around 1hr+, 10min phone calls).

I'm running EF 3.6, didn't over or underclock

Unplugged at 9am it is now 9pm after 12 hours of use. My battery is at 65%. Since I am around a charger all the time I will hold onto this for traveling only. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a extended battery. That is, if you don't mind, the phone becoming as thick as a classic iPod or deck of cards
[Fascinate Accessories] deitiphobia:
Battery life pretty damn good

I just got mine yesterday. Took a while to charge to 100 percent. Unplugged around midnight Friday, and lasted all the way to 7:30PM on Saturday with heavy use. I used GPS for one our on the way to museum. I sent a few text emails and short phone calls. Took a few pics at the museum. And I was playing with the phone for much of the day. Reading and setting up Cyanogen Mod 7.

So that was about 19hrs on it's first charge and run down. I'm thinking after a few cycles that will improve a bit. I'm definitely satisfied. Easily last twice as long as my other battery would have.

I'm only concerned with how long it will take to charge. I guess as long as I charge at night I should be OK for pretty much the entire day.
[Fascinate Accessories] doduhdew:
case?

does naztech make a case for the extended battery pack? i want to protect my phone.....thanks.
[Fascinate Accessories] killerapl:
If anyone is interested I have two regular original batteries and battery charger for sale. 25.00 oho shipped to us only. Pm me if interested.
[Fascinate Accessories] deitiphobia:
Trust me, you don't want part of it to be skinny while the rest bulges out. It will be cause for more discomfort than just getting the smooth back. It's really not that bad when added and makes the phone as thick as the original droid.
[Fascinate Accessories] deitiphobia:
I will say this, I was using CM7 dailies and also MIUI. They are both Gingerbread roms...and then for kicks I switched to Powerwashed which is a 2.2 based Froyo ROM.

The difference in battery life is huge! I noticed my phone now gets an extra 5 or 6 hours of use using this Naztech battery.

So yes...buy the Naztech...and also you may want to switch to a Froyo ROM that doesn't have all the battery drain issues that the Gingerbread ROMs all seem to have.

Another thing I did that I think makes a bit of a difference, I started unsubscribing myself from all email I get. Groupons, Living Social, Best Buy, Funny or Die, and on and on and on. I would get about 50 emails a day on average. Most of it just junk and ads. I got it down to about 5 emails per day! This is a time saver, and a battery saver. The less I have to screw with my phone for worthless emails, the more battery life.

There are days that I barely touch my phone and it will have been 16 hours and only have used 25 percent battery! No joke.

Love the Naztech battery.
[Fascinate Accessories] DakotaS96:
Wow...yeah that's good.. I think I'll be looking into getting one of these.
[Fascinate Accessories] baron4406:
Ironic i just ordered one of these batteries from Amazon. Woke up this morning and unplugged my Fassy, only to find after being on the charger all night its at 68%. Figured it wasn't plugged in right I plugged it into my charger at work, only to come back an hour later with a warning on it saying the battery was too hot. And it WAS darn hot. So I stuck it in the A/C and then was able to get it up to 78%. My work is pretty hot usually 100 to 120 degrees but it never bothered my phone at all. Phone is over a year old now so I assume the battery is shot, just hope it doesnt catch fire lol. Too bad you can't get cases for these batteries, however I think I can stretch the outside of my gel case on the outer edge of the battery, the back panel is falling out anyway.
[Fascinate Accessories] Avalanch3:
What about protection for the front of the phone? is there no lip? That would be the biggest gripe for me.. I mean I can deal with some extra thickness but not having a lip for the front would be a deal breaker for me.
[Fascinate Accessories] blee9999:
What kind of work do you do that its "usually 100 to 120 degrees" ???

Anyway, something like that happened to me as well once but my phone was in a cool environment. Turned out something was wrong with the charger...not the battery or the phone.

Seems to me like yours might be the charger's fault as it charged with your work charger.
[Fascinate Accessories] baron4406:
I work in a Chocolate manufacturing facility as a maintenance mechanic blee9999. BTW my first full day yesterday with the battery, UNREAL. At 8 am basically turned everything on, Wifi, 3G, GPS, bluetooth and used the phone all day. By 5pm the phone was showing 70% yet and since I wanted to calibrate the battery I had to drain it. So I began running the most draining apps I found and at 9pm I finally drained it. However it screwed my phone up doing that I'm gonna have to reflash everything today. I'm amazed, GPS would kill my stock battery in about 3 hours. So the lesson is don't try to calibrate this battery, it doesn't need it.

Also found something strange the day before when I used it the first time, at the end of the day it was at 36% and after 3 or 4 hours idle it showed 40%. That was with the initial charge the battery was delivered with.
[Fascinate Accessories] AmanteNJ:
just ordered me one ...
[Fascinate Accessories] gabe565:
I love it! The battery life is amazing compared to the stock Fascinate battery. Only problem is that vibrate is a bit louder because the battery is sort of loose. I might try to put some tape around it to make it fit better or something.

my 2400 mah batery just arrive

after plug it on my phone , I play a little bit, and installing bateries monitor widget ... it show that 1500 mah size ... i'm still confuse why is it like that

right now still charging

using superclean3 eh03 radio kernel rom
[Fascinate Accessories] wampuscat:
on battery monitor widget,u have to change that value manually. It does nothing really. Open battery monitor, hit menu,settings and its under one of the options. Can't remember which one.
[Fascinate Accessories] baron4406:
I've had the battery for a little while now and have some observations:

The internal computer in the battery is not very accurate, last night after a day of heavy use it was around 30%. After sitting idle on the couch for a few hours it was 41%. Calibrating the battery has no effect.

Its hard to kill, there's no need to be turning your wi-fi and 3g data or anything the battery goes and goes and goes.

I actually like the thicker phone alot more, easier to grab. i just wish the cover had a rubbery surface
[Fascinate Accessories] ThePlasticBling:
thanks for the review. does it overheat or anything?
[Fascinate Accessories] baron4406:
No it does not overheat, I'm still amazed by how good this battery is. Heavy use all day and you still have battery left.

One MAJOR bad part i just found out tho, No cases for the phone anymore. I just had a minor drop of the phone and the screen shattered. So its up to you, really you have a great battery but give up any kind of phone protection.
[Fascinate Accessories] gabe565:
Cases don't do as much for your phone as you think they do! Case or not, if you drop the phone the wrong way it will shatter the screen. I guess I've just gotten lucky, because I've dropped my phone enough times for all of the metal looking corner parts to look torn up, but I haven't had the screen shatter! *knock on wood*

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaKlown:
There is a Facebook plug-in called fdCal. Install that to your profile. It will give you a url string that can be loaded into your Google calendar, and Google will pull your Facebookcalendar from this url. It also will stay updated. Since its in your Google calendar now all you have to do is sync your calendarto your Android phone. I apologize that my directions are a little vague but I did this quite some time ago. With the info gave you and some google searching you should be able to find a tutorial somewhere. Just remember fdCal is the key.

[Droid X General] Explodee:
Before I tackle this upgrade I was wondering if there was a way to get back to my froyo via SBF then root then clockwork restore. Or will it brick it?
[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
You can go back to 2.2. Just

1. sbf back to .340

2. You will bootloop, boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache.

3. Boot into 2.2 and root.

4. Install bootstrap.

5. Restore backup/install new rom.
[Droid X General] vladimirtm:
i sbf back to 2.3.340 adn i cant go in to recovery to make a data factory reset i hit sear and the recovery menu wont apear.please help
[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
That shouldn't happen. Did you use the _full_ sbf and not the system only? Do you have the correct Motorola drivers? Have you sbf'd before using the same computer/phone?
[Droid X General] kalvinl:
You have to press both volume and up button when you see the exclamation point not the search button
[Droid X General] vladimirtm:
i did factory reset but im still stuck in moto logo
[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
That's for the new recovery, the old recovery required you to press the search button. It sounds like the sbf didn't complete properly.
[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
Did you have to press the volume up and down buttons to get into recovery? If so, you're still on the new recovery and you'll need to sbf to get back to the old one.
[Droid X General] canyoufindben:
Make for certain you are using the full 2.3.340 SBF file located here

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/6367-new-full-sbf-droid-x-2-3-340-a.html

Otherwise it will not boot. You can tell if you have the red M logo you still have the leaked GB bits. If you use the system only SBF file it will not work. If the full 2.3.340 SBF file worked, you will have a white M logo when you power on the phone.

problems getting back to froyo

I am hitting problems sbfing back to froyo 340 from gingerbread. My drivers are installed and rsdlite 4.9 is recognizing the droid x perfectly fine as well. The sbf process starts fine, but fails due to a group 31 checksum error.

ERROR: Flash failure: Interface AP-OS: Error verifying Code Group 31 checksums. File: 0x56E0, Phone: 0xB9A8 (Error Code: 31),

Detailed Error Details: Direction of the Error=No Direction, Command Value=4000000, Code Group Number=31

File: D:\GitProjects2\hdt_windows_flash\flash\code\flashdll\FlashHdlr.cpp

Device ID: 0

The strange part is that now when i reboot, it always goes back to the way my phone was before i attempted to flash it. Any apps I install just get installed. Icons that were moved get put back.

Any suggestions?

I am thinking buying this phone and found conflicting posts regarding Skype support.

Can Skype be installed from the market for the X8?

If so, does free Skype to Skype voice calling work?

How is the voice quality on the X8? Is it choppy?

Thank you.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] diegoxcore12:
I can reply the first question no more jaja, yes it can, do you need the "Market Enabler" (download it from the market) and choose T-Mobile and you will see all apps from the market, search for skype and voila!

greetings sorry for my english jaja

for Market Enabler do you need a rooted phone
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Charmed :):
I use skype from time to time, but it drains the battery even offline, so when I'm not using it, I uninstall it. I called via wifi, and quality was great!

There are lots of apps like skype on market, whatApp, Nimbuzz...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fkathrada:
It depends on your location, whether or not the market supports it. As for quality, yeah, it's great. The Skype Voice to Voice works (No video calling), and chat works like a charm. You can get it off of freewarelovers(dot)com, where there's a repository of free apps. Also, based on your connection, that's how your call quality will be.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] 2generous:
Skype 3.0 chat and call.

I searched for skype the first day I bought my X8, some people on forums have problem finding it the market( some countries do not have full apps on the market). The alternative is to enable your phone to install apps from unknown places, then download it from brothersoft.com/mobile and install form SDcard.

Skype is working like a charm, chat, calls, skypeout.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CaptainZap:
Try using this link. You need wifi/3G active on your phone and you must be logged into your google account(be on market), and you can install it directly, by clicking install from the site.

True, because no matter what DFT brought us today, they won't be supporting the HD2 (especially WP7 on it) forever .

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] idevmag:

but so far, DFT is keeping HD2 alive and mango is far far away...

Thanks DFT

iDev
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
well as far as i can tell, and not having a native WP7 device means thats not very much, the HD2 has two potential issues, firstly, and most obviously, Zune apparently detects either a reg entry or a system file difference that identifies the HD2 as an HD2

secondly, when the device does its reboot thing before atempting a backup Windows 7 detects and installes a LEO device driver.

now it does the second thing even when you use a windows system that has never had a LEO attached, so something during the restart/flash screen is shouting LEO

now the question is, is Zune really detecting a reg entry / file issue, or is it the LEO device driver....

whats your thoughts?

it could of course be both, what would be handy is a complete reg dump of a HD2 and the WP7 device our ROM comes from to see if there is any likely differences that may be the reason.

likewise it would be handy to get ahold of the driver that is installed for the WP7 device our ROM comes from when it goes in to updating mode, could it be as simple as messing about with some hardware IDs and system driver files on the PC? doubt it, but good as place as any to start :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Beany69:
I agree with daza9075. Although re-flashing a ROM doesn't take that long, I really don't want to have to keep installing everything I've downloaded from Marketplace and setting up device the way I like it.

The ability to update the HD2 as though it were a native WP7 device by using Zune is definately something I hope one of the great devs on here figures out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] qzmufu:
