pretty pleased

for 15 dollars you can do alot worse ran my battery hard for 9 straight hours before i reached 5 percent constantly on web checking fb had pandora streaming pretty much 8 hours straight thru my blutooth headset had slingplayer on and i didnt even notice i had gps on for the first 2 hrs! also had 4g on most of the day so im happy with it so far, no i can get thru a full day of work away from the charger!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Try charging it more than 8 hours even when it says full charge. I have the mugen battery and even though it charges to full in 2 hours from 50% if I start using it from then it drains quickly, but if I leave it plugged for another 4-8 hours it drains very slowly.

I think this has to do with the battery calibration problem that was mentioned will be fixed with the software update to show true battery charge.

Good luck

just bought one @ ebay #310332224004 for $8.17
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I ordered a package deal of 2 batts with a charger that can charge a batt out of the phone for 25, should be here soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:
Charged mine all day long and all last night. It may be me, but its draining faster than the stock battery? Did I get a bunk battery??

Edit: refurning it for another one...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dave420wank:
can u send me an item number
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:

update and new battery

My update to GB and the new battery happened at the same time. I like the battery life of GB now. :) Also, I like shape and feel of the phone with the new battery in. Feels substantive and weighty. Its easier to grip, maybe?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monster206:
boom!

Hopefully these batteries don't blow up!

Litium batterys will only explode if you abuse them. you should see what happens when a r/c plane or car smacks the ground some time the batterys look like a taco but dont blow up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lakonikos:
I'm thinking about buying an extended battery, but I dont want to have a bad battery fry my phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pk62wu:
Have had mind for a few days now and with light use I get over 2 days on a charge and under heavy use streaming video, music, and playing games nonstop get around 16 hours on charge. Got the 2 batteries and door from amazon. Temp. dose not read right though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monster206:
The problem with these cheap batteries from china is that they tend to work very well in the beginning. They degrade much faster than higher quality batteries and will not hold a charge as well plus expand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monster206:
Another thing worth considering is that after the update to 2.3.3 I have seen much better battery life. I currently have 60% battery left after 17 hours off charger. This is with browsing, gmail, exchange, sms and some video. Tethering will eat it up though.

I had ordered one of these anyways, so if results are any better i should be getting much better battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
For being only 10 bucks I'd gladly just buy another one if this one degrades in performance. At the same time I'll be able to replace the back cover since I probably would have dropped it many times by then lol :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dave420wank:
Thanks man. I got one from ebay and it works so good I bought a second one..I know can die happy. Thanks for the reply
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dave420wank:
Hi I ordered a 3500 battery from ebay from a US seller I am loving the battery life so much I bought a second one just as a replacement..Yes I have noticed an improvement with 2.3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dismaljester:
I got 2 of these in an auction a couple months ago with 2 batteries and a wall charger for $25 and have been very happy with it. After the recent updates to cm7 my battery life is very nice. I deleted battery stats and this is the first discharge. It would be even better if I had found the app that was keeping my phone from sleeping sooner. The best battery life I've had by far on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dave420wank:
If you still are wanting to purchse one i bought one on ebay from a us seller and recieved it in 2 days . The battery life is amazing .. Such enough i bought a second one just to haave for emergency back up....welll woth the 14 dollars
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dave420wank:
I purchased this one from a US seller and i was so happy with it that i bought a second one that has a wall charge on it.. Believe or not i like how it looks except that it is missing the chrome strip...But for 14 buck i dont care.. If i get 8 months out of each battery thats fine too...Any way thanks for this thread...David EB 1.5 g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jpfinne:
This thing is a beast! Trying to drain the battery with wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, brightness at 100 and screen timeout set to 30 minutes. Streaming Sirius and the battery is hanging in much better than anticipated.

The battery does add a bit of weight but the replacement back looks pretty nice. Highly recommended and well worth $15.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I ordered a package deal on ebay that came with 2 3500mah batteries and a wall charger for thr batteries for $25. Been using them for about a week and havent plugged my phone in at all. I just charge up one battery, use it till it dies which takes about 2 days of normal use or 10 hours of straight HEAVY use and then once it dies i pop in the other battery and put the dead one in he charger. The only thing is that the wall charger takes some time to charge a completely dead battery but other than that its great and the wall charger also can charge the stock battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
Have been using this battery for a week (got a $10 one shipped from HK) and have been extremely satisfied with it. I only have to charge every other day now and the added bulk is not a big deal whatsoever. The new back cover actually makes it easier to grip the phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Just got mine and I must say me likes. Me likes a lot. I thought it would be much thicker but as said in the previous post, the added thickness make the phone easier to hold. Another added bonus - it still fits in my Cellet case.

Sent from my brain using Google Think!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] busab:
I got mine in yesterday and it came with a Mugen style battery cover. Anybody else receive a new design?

So far i'm loving it. Like others have said, the size doesnt bother me as much as I thought it would. My battery now EASILY lasts all day and then some.

Sorry for the crappy pictures. I took them with the camera from my original Droid.

I had put a extra Phantom Skinz cover on the back of it so its not actually that shiny in real life. But it does have a soft touch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Battery is really good Does anyone know of a rapid desktop charger?

hey I got that same battery thanks for the tip. I got it from amazon and After paying for the two day shipping I paid $20. What a great deal tthis is and The phone looks fine I dont buy phones to look cool I get them to use them and this battery alowes me to do that better than I could before.

After draining it I got over 19 hours wioth my normal use excpt I did not shut it off at work. One of the main reasons I got this battery was so I could use the fetures of the phone to the fullest now I can use live wallpapers. And the other is I am constantly on sirius xm and pandora. So now I am Getting anywhere from 15 to 20 hours ddepending on what I do for the day. I am exteremly pleased with this Battery.

The only thing is does anyone know of a rapid external or desktop charger? I have one but it is a trickle charger and takes about 20+ hours to charge this battery. I have a dock and I use my phone as a alarm clock and I have 2 OEM batterys so I put one away and I want to use the other as my backup during the day. At night I want to put that in the dock because I don't care if I leave it on charge I just need to make the phone fit in the dock. But I need to charge the extended battery overnight.

Thinking of getting that one, is it a good look?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PseudoChris:
G2x w/Voltage Control (min on screen-timeout) and proper GPS, Wifi, & Data Control via power widget my phone will run for almost two days with normal use of Browsing and GPS when needed.

Otherwise I use an external Battery charger when I'm not near a PC or Car Charger ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
All I can say is that it looks awful

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hypocriticalplan:
This things pretty awesome Ive been draining the battery by using pandora and iheart radio for about 7 straight hours with auto sync on and brightness at 100% I then drained it all the way to 1% which it was on standby for around 2+ hours or so =/

All in all def. worth the $10

My one gripe about it is the replacement back cover feels cheap and comes off easily. But what can you really expect from $10
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sl0play:
Ordered one on ebay from seller fantasy.bid

It was $15 for the charger, battery, door. It took longer than expected to arrive. 3.5 weeks to Seattle :(

So far the battery is great. I havent gone through a complete cycle yet. The charger is nice as it has a USB input as well so you can charge your spare battery from your computer or car charger.

I got the boxy type case and I dont mind it at all. Its not as nice as the OEM one of course but it does the job and at least the camera is off the table when i set it down now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OrganizedFellow:
My G2x never goes in my pocket.

It's either in my hand, by my side as I watch TV, watch a movie, prepare dinner, etc.

I currently have the stock battery with a SPECK case. And due to the rubber surrounding at the front, it's a ***** to get it in and out of my pocket with ease.

I'm looking forward to getting maybe two of these cheap batteries :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
This one is nice. I got the Mugen 4500 and reading through the posts, I figure it still outperforms this 3500 battery by a considerable margin, although you'd expect that for $100.

But at $10 after a year I'll probably just go for one of these when my Mugen starts getting low on battery recharge cycles.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
My G2x was like have a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with only a teaspoon of gas in it. Whats the point?

My G2x now last ALL day with heavy use. And to truth be told, it looks better, feels better and is must easier to use. :D

Also - G2x with CM7 and faux kernel is nonsense. Don't need to be changing my rom every day nor do I need a battery notifier that changes every 3 seconds and is never accurate.

Here is one that is cheaper and has a separate charger that you can charge the 3500mAh battery with and use your factory battery until that charges. :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Got mine yesterday from the Chicago-based seller. Works great! And yes, it's bulkier, but the backplate is nice and has the same kind of satin-y finish as the OEM backplate.

Very pleased to far, played games for hours on the charge that came with the battery, charged it up last night, now time to do some calibration cycles.

And it was like $10.99 shipped! What a deal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
Yup, I thought I would get the ugly design shown in the auction pictures but I received a newer/sleeker cover :)

Bought the battery and case for $7.44 USD from this seller.

http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTENDED-BATTERY-COVER-DOOR-LG-OPTIMUS-2X-P990-/320734610681?#ht_4978wt_1396

Took about 2 and a half weeks to get here, but it seems to be worth the wait.

It looks, feels, and fits pretty well. Definitely worth the price considering the Mugen is around $100.

Just need to test its battery life over a few weeks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Another added bonus: I get much better pictures without the glass over the camera lens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] G2xer:
Hows it looking in regards to performance? :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
Anyone aware of a hard case that fits these doors?

Anyone using a standard sized gel case instead?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
Have there been any observations as to some seller's batteries being better than / worse than others? I'm waiting to get my phone back from LG (dropped it and shattered the face), so I have some time to wait for an extended battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
After 5 full discharges, I'm getting pretty good battery life.

Very heavy usage (over an hour's worth of calls, lots of texting & web browsing, a few videos, gaming) in the past 11 hours and it's at 28%. The stock battery probably would have died 4-5 hours ago.

With moderate use, I did get around 42 hours of battery life on a previous charge.

I really have found myself missing the smaller form factor of the stock battery/cover though, haha. That being said, the extended battery's worth a try for only ~$10.

I wouldn't bother with one of the universal chargers that the eBay sellers may include though. Those POS chargers only output ~350 mA (or less?) and will take forever to fully charge a battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
They'd probably work, though, if you bought two of the extended batteries - just leave the other one in the charger. That's what I plan on doing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
I didn't think I would get used to the larger cover but I really enjoy not having to charge the phone during the day. The $10. is worth the experiment.

Between this battery and weapons rom . . . the g2x performs like we all were hoping when we first purchased the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Ordered my battery from EBAY today. I post the results when I received the battery.

How long did everyone charge the battery before first use?

Did you charge it in the phone or provided

How long does it take to charge battery in the external charger???

What results should I see?

Thanks ahead of time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
It takes awhile to charge in the external charger but if you got two batteries it works out great, i use my phone till it dies and by that time the other battery is charged. This way the batteries are getting cycled and i never have to plug my phone in. The batteries are obviously not top quality but they do last much longer than stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Thanks.

What cover you get?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I ordered mine before they started sending the mugen like cover. I prefer the box looking cover though, it fits good in my hand and theres no hollow space, i had a siedo for my G1 and the cover cracked easily on a drop because of the hollow space.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
I got the mugen cover with mine..

I did the same thing used the battery till it needed a charge charged it overnight in the phone woke up the next morning and used the phone all day 2am and it still didn't need a charge yet.

I was using EB 2.3 1.08 ROM and was really amazed how long the battery lasted on the first few charges.

I switched to weapons 2.3 ROM and noticed that I'm getting a bit let battery life than I did with EB ROM but I still last the entire day and do not have to worry about having an extra batt or being able to plug in the phone during the day.

Except for the temp not reading correctly which is an issue on most of these aftermarket batteries in this price range. Its worth giving it a try if you are unhappy with the battery life of the stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] davjan:
I got my 3500mah battery delivered today, my battery temp sensor is working correctly

Do it need to delete battery stats after first full charge?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
What temp does yours read? mined doest go over 77F degrees
[T-Mobile LG G2x] davjan:
Yeah sorry you are right, temp sensor indeed not work correctly, switches between 25-25.3 degree celcius

I got mine from the ebayer out of chicago and I had it in three days to NY.

I haven't plugged my phone in since 8 am its now almost midnight and I'm just at 10% left on the battery. I was using my phone constantly today for calls and everything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
What back cover did you get from the Chicago seller?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
I got the mugen type cover from the chicago seller I dont mind it at all and i think I like it better than the other cover that is available with some batteries
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Can you post a pictures of battery and cover that is who I order from.

How the the case fit?

Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
I got the same mugen cover as the one in that is posted pics earlier in this thread. The cover fits looks and works fine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Just ordered one with the Mugen style cover off eBay for $9.55 with free shipping worldwide. Angry Birds has been killing my battery. You can get them for about $2.00 cheaper now from other sellers but they show the FUGLY cover in the photo. I emailed them about if they have changed over to the Mugen style and they didn't respond; so I decided to pay the extra $2.00 and get the cover I wanted for sure.

So any of you using any kind of hard case or gel case that fits these extended batteries?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tbjason:
Very cool thanks for sharing. I think I am going to give this a try as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I looked online and hand no luck.

Does anyone have any for these batteries and a G1 cover and it still fits.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Same here (mungen-style backplate). Chicago seller got it to me less than 24 hours after ordering (of course, it help living less than 20 miles from chicago). :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
I have bought other aftermarket batteries before off ebay from Hong Kong and it was so much faster and easier to deal with the chicago seller. I see now there are a few more US sellers selling the extended battery now but back when I got it the chicago one was the only one I could find.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Hell, I ordered mine from a seller in NJ and it took 8 days to get to NYC!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
You could have walked to NJ and back in eight days. I think the last batteries I bought from a Hong Kong Seller took less that eight days to arrive :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220824508961&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123

Should be here in a day or two according to the tracking info.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Got mine today. Let the new adventures begin.

I got the Mugen looking case.

Is ten hours long enough to charge the battery?

Chicago seller.

I got it in four days to FLORIDA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Charge it 10 hours.

Been out for one hour still at 100%
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Battery still at 75% normally battery would be way under 50%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DevilSoulll:
Guys. Does it worth it? I mean for long time. I wanted to get the mugen 4500mah

But i see lots of positive feedbacks about this one.

Can someone make a video on youtube about how it looks "mugen cover style" and provide the link here

Thanx
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
Its funny because...........

EVERYONE THAT POSTED POSITIVE FEEDBACK WERE CHINESE PEOPLE THAT USED ALL THE MONEY THEY GENERATED FROM THESE CRAP BATTERIES TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN ENGLISH TO COME TO AMERICA (BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MUCH MONEY THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO LIVE IN CHINA ANYMORE) AND THEN REGISTER HERE AND SPEAK ABOUT THESE TERRIBLE BATTERIES THAT DON'T WORK!!!

Off the charger since 11am yesterday.

You be the judge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deadlyss:
Update arrive Saturday and can't be more happy best 10 bucks spent in about a hour it will be 24hrs and the battery is at 40% I also using juice defender with mild use. Took 8 days to arrive from NY

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I went 32 hours using my phone as I normally do and it was still at 10%

It was not totally dead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
Dont knock them till you try them. I was someone who payed the extra money for an extended siedo battey for my g1 and it was a great battery but i seen all the people posting feedback about these ebay batteries and figured id try them out. I paid 25 bucks for 2 batteries and a wall charger on ebay and must say i am very pleased with them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
I was trolling lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chisleu:
I just ordered one with the nicer looking back cover. Anyone know if there is a holster that will actually hold it?

Thinking the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
So after 15 pages of research, it looks like this is a pretty legit product then huh?!

Will be pressing the order button now!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
So far a good deal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I just received mine today from a seller in Hong Kong on eBay. It is the Mugen style back. It looks well made and the back fit the phone perfectly. I am charging it right now. One question I have, do these batteries report false capacity on purpose for some reason? I have Battery Monitor Widget installed and it is showing the capacity at 1500mAH, the same as the stock battery. I am sure the capacity is much more, if not the advertised 3500mAH. I will know once I start using it tomorrow and see how much capacity I have left after a normal's day use. Normally when I get home from work the phone is begging me for a charge. Here is the seller I bought mine from. It was $9.55 with free shipping. What I received is exactly as pictured in the eBay listing so no reason for me to post photos of what I received.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/250876112152?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
For Battery Monitor Widget, you need to go into Settings > Monitoring > Battery Capacity and enter the actual mAh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Thank you for that. It was getting the capacity from the LG Kernel. I could not find where to change it. Now it is better. :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I had the same problem.

What about the other two settings what do you put in there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
How you liking this one so far?
