Most of us have received the cover that is in your link even when buying on ebay. It looks like that original cover is no more, or less common.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khanggle:
thanks for the quick response! gonna make the purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] petteyg359:
Are you sure they don't have a sensor? The temperature displayed changes based on usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
unless they changed the battery, what you are seeing is a fake reading. It fluctuates within a certain range but never goes more than a few degrees in either direction. Both mine and Jboxer's batteries do this. It never goes more than a few degrees off of 25. This when the phone is very hot, it will still be reading a normal temperature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] steven1193:
Yeah I'm pretty sure my battery was fried that was just light use. Mostly just browsing the xda forums and reading tfln. Just got the 3500 though. Hopefully it'll prove worthwhile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
It will prove very worthwhile, for the 4 months I have used my 3500mah it has always provided at least double the battery life of what stock did. For under 10 dollars shipped you can't beat that, the extra heft of the phone is also very comfortable to hold.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Sorry to not take the time to read every page of this thread, but which seller did you get yours from? I was going to get the one from China but the seller had a note that it wouldn't be processed until Feb, so I went for the Chicago seller earlier today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scott Kilau:
Chicago seller is *very* good!

He shipped literally same day, and I got my 2x 3500 in 2 days

Heck, that is better than Newegg and/or Amazon!

I am very happy with the 3500 batteries so far.

They most definitely last at least twice+ as long as the stock battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
+1000

Got mine from Chicago in about 3 days, excellent service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
Would u mind posting the link for the 3500 batts from chicago, cant find them :/

[T-Mobile LG G2x] duglas:
awesome, I ordered 2 batteries, charger, and cover for under $19 shipped!!! I only use this phone as a mobile hotspot so these batteries will really help!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
Yeah you get at least double the battery life. I picked mine up from amazon for the same price. It's funny though, on the amazon sellers page it says 2700mah battery but on the actual battery it says 3500mah, I don't know which one is right but this thing is a beast none the less and I haven't even come close to draining this battery down in one day, even when trying to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
So far still doing good? It's lasting twice as long as the stock one? Might have to order one :-) thanks for the post
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I almost never switch back to stock....

believe it or not, I get better signal with this battery... Seriously? Yes... because the g2x has a bit of the "death grip" syndrome, and if I'm in a low signal area, the thicker back allows me to hold the phone by the back, and thus my hands will obstruct the antenna less... with the stock battery I have no choice but to wrap my hand around the phone more to hold it which can cause a low signal to drop out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
I agree..I usually switch to stock 2-3 times week just to have a protective case on the phone. However, I feel like a jackass always checking my battery life with the stock battery. The extended battery spoils you, because it's worry free for the entire day, which is exactly how these phones are meant to be. You haven't gotten the true smartphone experience until you slap this bad mofo on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
So you must use the back cover it comes with? You think I'll be able to use my 2pc case still?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
:-) thanks again for all the info
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
no the 2pc case won't fit. If there was a case for the extra girth this battery comes with people would be all over it. Man, I was immediately sold on this battery when I tried to intentionally drain the battery to condition it and I couldn't do it in one day. Obviously I couldn't play shadowgun for 5 hours straight, but I let it stream netflix all day and it wouldn't die. This thing literally goes to 16 hour talk time, you can run a fortune 500 company with this sucker. And that's the end of my pitch :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
Sweet thanks I'm about to order it right now:-) lol(sorry i just saw the pics of the phone with the back piece)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
sorry i found my question lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Ok, got the batt a few days ago, hadn't had much time to test it for real until last night. Did some flashing, some wiping some backing up, more flashing and wiping.and the damn thing held up, and that was already down to 75-80 percent that morning. I had to put on a video player for about half an hour just to kill the last little bit of charge. Since I wasn't totally convinced this this was as good as it should be, I popped back in the stock batt, at full charge, and did one wipe and nandroid restore and it was already down to 75 percent. Again, the extended battery held up to multiple flashings and wipes and stills had enough charge to get me home while listening to music and checking bus schedules on Google maps.

The seller shipped on a Monday and it arrived Wednesday Morning. For under $10 the only concern will be longevity, but even if it lasts only a year, it will be great.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I'm happy with mine so far, 4 months in and I don't have to charge maybe 1nce every other day. 650+ apps installed is no joke on a battery either, I put my phone thru a lot lol.

Never did get to buying a case for my phone, I knew I would be getting one of these extended batteries after using them for the mt4g. The extra weight and heft make it feel more comfortable to hold and less likely to drop imho.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Well, I didn't notice much of.a.weight increase but the back does make it.look like a bloated whale.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Really, I feel like I'm holding a Samsung galaxy 4g with the g2x stock battery and back cover lol

Like someone else said previously the extra thickness to the extended back cover makes for a great grip compared to just holding the sides of the g2x!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
I found stock about right for me and I have big hands. I started out on a Galaxy S 4G and was always afraid of dropping it. The only time I dropped this one was when I was literally falling down drunk. Now I have a nice dent in the steel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scott Kilau:
Agreed on this one, with the new back, it sure is ugly in terms of the thickness of it!

However, it definitely is a worthwhile tradeoff though, as the new battery just lasts so much longer!

2 batteries, 2 back cases, and a charger... You can't go wrong for $19!

I am very happy with the purchase, and the Chicago seller got it here faster than I ever expected!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Texas was the same for me. If it hadn't been post marked as coming from there I would have thought they were in the same city as me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Just got my 3500mah in the mail from amazon right on time (took 9 days to canada) and so far ive noticed a substantial battery life increase.

Also my new back cover looks a little different than the ones ive seen you guys post... Sorta like this one better than the two boxes look... paid 16.99 shipped.

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
I got the same back. Makes it look like a bloated whale.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2uzer:
I order mine from the link on the previous post(from chicago) on Wednesday, I got it Saturday and hell yea its worth it! Maybe thicker phone but I don't see my self going back to stock! Thanks for the link! :-) and yea the boot time is the same as unplugged time,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
15hrs and only 75 percent :eek: Wow, can't wait for my impulse buy to get here haha!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
I just used the hell out of my phone today and it is still going strong, about 10% battery left. I had 5 1/2 hours worth of phone calls, 3 1/2 hours streaming radio, 30 minutes streaming youtube, 2 hours internet browsing, and 30 outgoing/incoming text messages. And the beat goes on!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Haha yes it does almost looks like it would float like a boat on water haha i wont try it tho :p

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] petteyg359:
So I've had the 3500mAh battery for a month now, and I think I prefer the "fat" case over the original. The original was too slim to be comfortable to operate, and more likely to be dropped simply due to less side/edge surface to grip.

It sits in standby on my desk or in my pocket most of the day, with maybe 30 minutes to an hour each day of World of Goo or Osmos, with wifi on (though I'm pretty sure the wifi turns off while the phone is in standby). Very happy with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DMPinBC:
What would nice now is if the battery door manufacturers could make a door that has a PowerMat receiver built in. Would save wear and tear on the MicroUSB connector.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
Jumped on the boat, and bought a 2x 3500 package for $14.30 free shipping (US Seller). Cant wait to get it. Question though: Is there no plastic over the camera optic? Does this also improve camera images? (from reading other posts about the glass over the optic on the stock case interfering with quality). Cheers!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
There's no glass or plastic over the lenses on the extended battery cover. Picture quality is noticeably better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoey2011:
I purchased the 3500 mAh battery here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3500mAh...ccessories&hash=item2a18e3208c#ht_1358wt_1041

So far, it feels like exactly what I was looking for. The picture in OP was something that I DID NOT want, which was the loss of a uniform look. I truthfully prefer the bulk of a heaver battery, makes it feel less like a toy. I just can't stand when function appears to supersede design, like the rump sticking out of the OP's purchase. No offense, it's just not smooth enough for me. The extra depth throughout the entirety of the back on the one that I bought was just what I was looking for. In my opinion, I think smartphones are entirely too thin. It hurts my rather large hands to hold even a 4" phone like the G2x for extended periods of time. That kind of thing actually makes me so excited for the day I can finally afford a decent sized android tablet.

Anyways, I got it for around $12 shipped, and it arrived in 2 days :eek:

This was due to the fact that the seller is in Austin, TX, and I am in Dallas, TX, but then again, that's why I bought from this particular ebayer ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ryancorpse:
Recieved my 3500mAh battery from eBay for under $10.

Been testing it out for about 5 days and I'm pretty pleased with its battery life. I've been using the stock battery for a week before hand fully charged in the morning and ending up around 30-35% left by midnight with extremely light use.

I've been on T-Mobiles $30 4G Pre-paid plan (100 voice/ unlimited text / unlimited data) so I can't really place a score on the voice usage.

With the stock battery, however, I always needed to carry around the micro-usb charger every time I use the GPS for longer than an hour.

After about 5 days after receiving my 3500mAh battery and charging it up to 100%, then draining it until it powers off, then charging it all the way back to 100%, (which took about 6-7 hours connected to my PC) the battery life has always stayed about 60% at the end of the night with Groove IP always connected; GPS ON; WIFI ON; 4G DATA ON; Best ~10 bucks on this phone I ever spent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Razorblood:
Been great paid $18 for 2 batteries 2 covers and a battery charger.

Great life. I switch between this and Andida1980mah slim which works great and tests at 1980mah.

More people should get this 3500mah.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I have purchased and used a few of these 3500 mAH batteries from two different vendors in California and in Chicago. Although I am in Canada, shipping was quite fast, less than a week for both of them. The batteries are physically identical except for minor label printing differences and work identically. Although I haven't done a load test, their capacity is definitely not 3500 mAH, closer to 2800 mAH which is a major improvement over the stock battery. I also like the thicker and slightly weightier feel and the improved picture clarity and colour rendering with the larger battery's replacement back which doesn't have a protective window over the camera lens (I am very careful not to touch the lens and use a Lens Pen to clean it). When I need the phone to be slimmer, I just use the stock battery and back and make sure that that I manage the battery use more than with the larger battery with a separate battery use profile for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
I picked up on of these today so I could see how they work. It came with a back that is thick except for the aera where the camera is.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
Is there any better battery that can fit within the stock cover? :( Frankly I really really dont want to ruin the awesome look of the phone.....

Those batteries are just WAAAAY too thick!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I think the biggest one you can get without increasing size is like 1850mah but the extra 350mah isn't worth the price tag of a legit battery IMO. you can get a knockoff for way cheaper but they usually don't provide even close to the capasity they advertise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timmyjoe42:
I'm using an 1980 which fits in the original case and the battery life is pretty good. I also got a 3500 (with the cover) on ebay and the life wasn't much/ any bettery so I stopped using it. I'll keep it for a backup when I need to make a long trip and I need extra juice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
buying a stock battery for g2x is a better deal then cheap imitations that have slightly more mah(andida,etc)

The 3500mah has proven to be the best bang for your buck despite the sacrifice in slimness, slim phone that nobody cares to see you holding<thicker g2x that lasts throughout the day on extreme use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
I have a second g2x so I figured the battery was $10.00 why not try it out.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DMPinBC:
Extended Battery skins

OK... I've also just received my extended batter and battery-door from the Chicago ebay seller. So far, so good. I'm on my first charge /discharge cycle.

Now, what I need is a cover or skin for the beast! The battery door is, like the original, still too slippery for safe one-handed use. I have a skin for the default battery door / phone. It is one of those TPU Gel type skins. It works well as it sticks to the hand and makes the handling of the phone one-handedly feel secure.

So, the question is: Has anyone that has bought this extended battery and door managed to source a cover / skin for this?

Waiting for the deluge of replies!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
Got 1800mah for 4 buks so far good
[T-Mobile LG G2x] docputer:
I bought the 3500 off Amazon a couple months ago, and I think it was worth the money. I usually get 2 days use and then charge that night. I am really happy with it and how it keeps me from charging once or twice a day
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
Just got the 3500 mah battery and back. The back is l little different than the one in the first post in this thred. The only part resessed is the camera aera. Otherwise it tapers to the front edge where it snaps on kinda like the front of a boat.if you took the phone and sat it on it's back it would look like a boat. It is not as bad as I expected. And I like the rubberized feel of it.the back fits very well with no gaps or being loose. So now I will just have to charge it up and ues it. I guess the only drawback is no protection or case to fit it. Otherwise I will probably enjoy usring it on a spair g2x I have comming to use to check out roms with out having to use my main phone I use to talk with.

I've been lagging in getting a extended batt but seems to me that I'm sold on it. Off to ebay :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
As long as you don't mind the extra heft and the fact there is no case that fits over this battery you will be extremely satisfied, especially for the price. I just ordered a second one matter of fact :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisram88:
Yea I was looking into that. There are two different back covers I've seen that are available. The boat looking one and the flat top(near camera) with box on battery. I seen one for 8 shipped so I got it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I got the nicer mugen style (boat) back cover, it isn't as awkward looking as the other 1 lol, and it's quite comfortable to hold now that it's a bit heftier. I do love the original look of the g2x but the battery life is just a horror story.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
I ended up getting this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721306295?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

and it fits perfect in this holster: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-CASE-...903536?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item519decf6b0

without the rubber case that comes with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
I've used the extended battery myself these past few days and got pissed at my phone.

I full charged it from and started using it at 6am

-Stream TV

-Endless Web Surfing

-Mad texting

-More mad web surfing

Maybe I expected more but by 1pm my phone was at 40% and then just notice the battery charge drop like a rock to 1% by 3:30pm

Even though it says 1% this phone kept kicking. It died on me like at 5:30pm. Maybe I expect too much for a 3500mah battery.

So last night I simply did what one of the posts says, freeze apps that aren't used. I notice a bunch of games, and chat apps, that aren't even suppose to be running, were draining my battery.

But yes, I expected too much. I really want a rubber case to go around the 3500mah and just don't feel good using my phone without a case. I'm very clumsy and toss this phone around alot. Does anyone have a case when using this extended battery on the phone?

Did a run with stock battery and half of my apps froze (the ones running for no reason) and got 10 hours of moderate use.

Will now try the 3500 battery and see how long it lasts. Also does anyone use/have a rubber case when using the 3500 battery? Just got to ask?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GeneYuss:
Hey guys, ordered one on ebay for $7.22 shipped! But from HongKong, I think USA to Canada usually not free shipping anyway. So, might have to wait 2-3 weeks.

Anyway, I have a question;

Does anyone have silicone case or something that fits over this case? I read one comment in this thread someone used a Optimus 1 case? Can anyone confirm? Also post photos of any cases that fit! Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
32 hrs on one charge, and still have 5% left, time to charge up again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I know this is an old post, but there are few physical differences between the p900 and the p999, I think you were thinking about that there were no differences between the p990 and the p999 which is true.

But the battery is still the same size.

Andida has been safe for me and given a little more juice than stock but it's nothing compared to the 3500 one in this thread. If I could deal with the larger size I would use it more often... but I can't lol.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] timmyjoe42:
I have an Andida and the battery life is better than the 3500mh one. The best part is that the original cover and my case still fit.

Yea I just posted it as reference. I live in cali so that would add me sales tax lol... No thanks! That is way cheaper tho.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jasonliw93:
I honestly love this extended battery. I don't know what i would do without it.

I'm a heavy user and this is the only way to get through the day. Sure the extra weight might seem like a bit much at first but you get use to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Screenshots or it didn't happen... logically 3500mah > 1980mah therefore my money is on the higher mah rating....

What sort of battery life do you get running what CPU frequency?

I personally have not tried the Andida but I do have a ghetto 14$ brick off Amazon...

Edit here's a couple sc's from the last couple days.

Played GTA3 and MC3 at work almost all day hahaha... made it 6 hrs of straight gaming running at 1.2ghz UV

Drained 70% over 16hrs with extreme daily usage I run GPS sync data all day and Bluetooth in the truck and wifi at home. This was also running 1.2ghz UV. Made alot of calls and facebook. Only played maybe 30 min of games and watched quite a bit of YouTube and music...

I'm using battery monitor widget pro its super easy to use and provides awesome data ( wakelocks, mah, mv, CPU usage, the list goes on) and its super easy to use and the Widgets are pretty cool looking!

I got it to read 3500mah by going to the calibration button at the bottom and manually entering 3500

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Well... Setting it 3500 is monitor for Battery Monitor widget only... Say your battery is 1900, and you set it to 1400, or 2400. What's going to happen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Probly just get some funky inaccurate battery readings.

Also the app will find your actual mah itself after you do a couple cycles of your battery. So even though I entered 3500 its actually more... ill post a screenshot...

So it says the actual Max is 3889 which I now have it set to for the best accuracy.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
So the battery is 3889mAh?

Than what's the measured 2452mAh?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I was just wondering the same thing!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Its the current mah measurement.

but 2452/3889 is 63%, not 73%.. O_O

Imma see my stock 1500mah and see how much it really is , and than compare it to my anker 1550. :)

Also, my update mAh is grayed out, and says measuring mah requires a charge cycle of at least 50% larger for accuracy.
