The 3800mAh looks interesting, any review for it after few days usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Check out my thread on the 3,800 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyl3:
Just got my shimshop battery and cover.. ****ing fast delivery! Only 3 business days :D

(I did pay express delivery though)

Quality good, cover was a little harder to fit up than the original one, expected though.

Extra weight suits me, feels better in the hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trincisor:
Just to report I got the 3 batteries + battery charger for $15 from eBay.

I've used them for a week now.

Here are my findings:

The batteries look the same as stock. The print on them is not so clear. But the actual text is same. To give an analogy the difference is like laser vs inkjet.

I've tested all 3 for 3-4 cycles and I've compared them to the stock that I had and they all give me more or less the same screen on time and the same idle drain. The difference isn't more than 5%. Except for one of the eBay battery which seem to give about 10% less than stock.

Though I got to mention that the stock batteries reached their peek performance after about 10 cycles.

So I will use the eBay ones a bit more and see how it changes.

The battery charger seems to charge the battery at a pretty slow pace.

I can charge the batteries in the phone from 0-100 in about 2 hrs, and I think it reaches 80% in 1 hr.

The AC battery charger that came with eBay batteries take about 4hrs-6hrs for a full charge. And it charges to 80% in the first 2hrs.

The label behind the battery charger says output : 4.2V, 350mA +- 50mA.

The stock phone charger output is 5V, 1000mA (1A). And I remember reading somewhere that the battery in the phone is charged using 1A constant current for the first 66% and then at a constant voltage of 4.2V (correct me if I'm wrong)

I have no idea how the battery charger is charging it.

If anyone has the stock Samsung battery charger please report the values on the back and time to charge.

I'm happy to see on par performance from the so called cheap eBay batteries. (At least in the short run)

Hopefully these batteries will hold their current performance over time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
ive bought a few of these cheap chinese batteries from ebay for different devices and found that if you take the outer sticker off they are all generic cells around 1200-1500mah wrapped in the correct body for whatever phone it is. they start losing capacity after a few cycles and are almost useless after a few months. you can tell if you flex the body and feel the cell and casing inside instead of a solid piece like oem batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djdurance:
Has anyone found one of these in Hanoi (Vietnam)? It is difficult for me to purchase off of Ebay or anywhere else internationally... Tough import rules.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
FWIW, Handtec in the UK finally started getting the OEM batteries in stock. I had been having a hard time finding a legit original battery here in the USA and Expansys didn't even get stock in until this week. I had bought one on eBay and I was already skeptical about it. When it arrived I knew between the packaging and the typeface on the battery itself that it was questionable so I got my money back. Never again. Was just easier to import it from Handtec. Same as the original and in original Samsung packaging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamdungSpambot:
Just got an email from gmarket asking me to send in photo id ...:very ordered before with no issues wtf?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Does anyone want to sell me the 1750mah battery? I mean the international version.

Genuine Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus GT I9250 2000mah Extended Battery Case Cover

ok, well apparently i cant post links until after i have posted 10 times.

just google "galaxy nexus extended battery i9250" and you will find an androidcentral write up about it. they also have a link to ebay that sales the battery and cover for $34

I'm sure through the 21 pages of info this has been posted, but figured it might help someone with this being at the end of the thread to see easily. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noriega813:
Go to google and look up shimshop (ebay). I got my extended battery with back door cover and also i ordered the cover case extended charger (that way i have an extra battery always ready).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iiDeadSeriousii:
I'm getting ready to order a GSM Galaxy Nexus. Is the stock battery as bad as when it came out or has software improvements compensated for that? If not then I'd like to get a battery but would love it if I didn't have to add any heft to the device. What's the best battery I can get that doesn't require an extended cover of any kind?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
The stock battery. However, the genuine Samsung extended battery (2000 mAh) and extended cover are only minimally bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I just traded my gnexus for the SGS3, so I have the extended battery and cover available, please pm me.

Included with the battery are other accessories, will be sold together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gparmar76:
Can the extended battery be purchased with the white battery door? I have a white GNex and want the extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eZaCx:
Has there been any 2100+ mAh batteries which are minimally bigger than the stock battery/cover, so it doesn't result in a awkward humpback on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plexwang:
Have someone order from shimshop recently? I placed an order on ebay with free shipping 7/19, and still not received it yet, there is no tracking at all except "Korean International Mail72168", I do not even think that is a trackable number.

BTW: I am in FL, east coast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] damage98:
I got my extended 2000 from them today. I its authentic and they included a screen protector. I paid for it July 20 and it shipped the 22nd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotLutzik:
I get bout 3 hours more stand by time out of extended battery so just what I needed . 17 hours . 4 hours screen time (75% WiFi ,25% 4G)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kohawk09:
Got mine today and they gave me 2 screen protectors as well... guess I have an emergency backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kizzmiazz:
Dont know if you guys are still looking dor stock batts but found this : http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-eb-l1f2hvu-battery.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg32:
Does anyone know if a Galaxy S3 battery (EB-L1G6LLU) would work in the GNex?

edit: tried it, doesn't fit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iurylima:
Reviving the old thread but..

Anyone has bought from here

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...739042?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231c8b2f62

or here

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...636968?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c23ad3068

???

Those are genuine? The NFC works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Can anyone show the correct shape of the genuine battery cover? There are at least two different shapes on ebay, what one is genuine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
What do you mean shape, if it's for the g nexus it will fit, either verizon or gsm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Search for "i9250 battery genuine 2000" on ebay and you'll see two different types of covers, they differ in the shape of the surface near the camera window. Which one is really samsung's?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
samsung only released three types of battery covers, the verizon version, gsm verizon, only the clips are different, and the extended battery cover.

the shapes are the same only the extended battery cover being slightly thicker and little rounder near the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Is it exactly the same near the top?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
do you have a link
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120857647555&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=02173956345

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120832462058&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=02173956345

Compare them...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
both look the same, from what i gathered, there is no fake extended battery for the nexus.

compare shipping then decide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
The covers are slightly different near the camera window.

PS. What can you say about this type?

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.de/viewitem?itemId=230830069148&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=98448972819
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the two links are the same, I have not seen a fake 2000mAh battery, especially sent from korea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shpitz461:
is the extended battery support NFC? Does it fit a regular rubber case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lknhiayi:
Just Pull the Trigger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sahilk:
Gonna buy it soon, Does anyone know if the TPU case will still fit?

This one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-GEL-T...514108?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc013163c
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
I think most TPU cases should be fine as they can budge a bit. Hard cases, especially thinner hard cases, will have some issues as they are precisely molded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Even the tough case? :)

theres a silicon case then a hard case

Thats the only thing stopping me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Ordered 2 and a back cover. Should be here Monday. I'll let you know then
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
I said this in the other thread, but they raised the price to $80 over night. I was going to pull the trigger at $50 but $80 is ridiculous. Apparently, they were $40 at one point too so you know that they are fine with selling at a lower price point.

$80 is just ripping people off. I hope no one buys it at $80.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Wow! Lucky I ordered when I woke up this morning and it was still at $50! I think $40 didn't include the back cover.

edit: whoa he is selling just the back cover for over 50 bucks by itself now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
I said to myself that I would buy the extended battery as soon as it became available, but at £51/$80 I definitely won't be getting it.

I will wait for the price to drop as I heard they were only $40-50 with the cover earlier this morning!

The seller is definitely genuine as I have purchased a SGP Screen Protector for my Galaxy Note from him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
So if those batteries are 100% genuine do they include NFC? I see no mention of it in the auction description.

Edit: Nevermind, it's in the wording on the actual battery itself. Weird that he doesn't mention it in the description.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lknhiayi:
Happy to ordered yesterday Ouf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
haha scumbag seller, i hope no one buys any at that price!

Ill just wait until it goes back down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sassyness77:
Ah I knew they were coming! I'm just hoping they ran out of them.....and put the price up so no one would purchase them, and once he gets more they will come back down :o I'm sure this is just being far too optimistic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Bought one last night, but ebay says it hasn't shipped yet. Hope the seller doesn't try to cancel my order or something since I got it at the lower price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
the price increased like 300%, they can't just cancel your order could they? that'd be stupid!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lp1527:
Ya they're selling for $180 for back + extended battery now... that's ROBBERY
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Lol its demand! But price will come back eventually
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MNX1024:
I'm wondering what the seller is smoking at the moment, lol.

Well, I'm only going to make my purchase when I can buy 2 extended battery plus one cover and external charger at the maximum price of $80. Worse come to worse, I might as well buy off one of those Korean websites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Back Cover

My Korea office called Samsung spares and was told it's not order-able (back cover) till first week of Jan; it's estimated at about 10 USD

The battery itself through Samsung spares is about 25 USD ; it's cheaper on Korean online sites.

Someone charging more than 60 bucks to bring this to the US is on crack.

I'll post in early Jan; anycase - I'm in Korea anyway in February; If I confirm there is a way to get hold of a bunch of back covers and batteries, will post back to this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Keep us updated! I got 2 of those $40 ones before they got crazy expensive. But would always like more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MNX1024:
For those who are interested in getting the extend battery for a cheaper price and the adapter & charging cradle, head over to Gmarket. I just did a quote, 2 batteries, back cover, and cradle runs around 74USD with shipping.

See if you can get it for cheap and so you can help us XDA member obtain them. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
I was going to buy one last night at $50...but now it's at $180, they are REALLY smoking that good ish...funny thing is that people still spent $80 on the battery, one person even bought 2 0_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
I guess I'm one of the ones listed with the $49 price, was surprised to see it jump to $80 and shocked when I saw it at $180... what a mess...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Yeah I emailed for them to add the battery cover but then I just bought it on ebay for $50 anyway... If anyone is interested, the link is here again:

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe..._cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000001&pos_class_kind=T

If you use google translate since some of it is still in Korean, the first pulldown is the cover for an extra 9500 won, the cradle is the last one at 7700 won.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
I just ordered from your link. Made an account and purchased the 2000mah extended battery and cover. EMS shipping to UK. Total was $44.48/£29.24.

Payment was sent via PayPal. I hope there are no issues and that it arrives fine.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Ebay owns gmarket so I don't see any more risk than buying from an ebay seller or gmarket seller. It might even be the same person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I just got one from gmarket, which is owned by ebay in korea, it only cost USD 40 inclusive shipping, or 30 usd without shipping, if the shipping is less, the extra money will be deposit in my korean ebay account for future use.

by the way, you can use paypal, and dont spend money on people like that on us ebay.

now for all of us who purchased the battery and cover, we have a problem, we are gonna have to put up using those pouches, i dont think any third party companies will make a hard case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
Ha! That would be funny if it was the same guy who is selling them for $180!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
forget the guy who is selling it, there is a guy who bought it for USD180, just saw it today, how could anyone be willing to spend that much for a battery and cover, if it was me, i'll buy a few normalsize battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
Can someone clarify that gmarket battery? Does it come with the cover already or do you have to add it to your cart separately?

edit: nevermind, actually read the post above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
You have to add the cover from the drop down menu. Its the first one for 9500won.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
nice... going to have one of my employees pick one up for me while he is in korea.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Does anyone know what to select for the circled area below? I assume it's the first option to pay 2,500won.

And just to double check, I got the cover option correct right?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
it won't let me order. Everytime I click "place order" I get a pop up box with a bunch of squares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
Try a different browser. I couldn't proceed on Opera, works fine in Chrome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you have to play around with it, i setup a account and made the purchase without any problems.

i used IE 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
What you guys put for "Sender's Name" when on the payment page? Does it even matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
sender should be "earmarket"

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

have you completed your order, gmarket is closed for system testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Just placed my order. $46.01 shipped to USA.

What shipping service is ems? How long do they take to ship?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
korea and japan likes to use ems, i think it's another name for registered, you need to sign for it, to usa should be about 7-14, to hong kong less than a week.

those are my prediction as I have used EMS sending stuff from japan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
By accident I copied and pasted my name into the Sender Name part.

Hope it doesn't mess the order up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I bought when it was $50, but it hasn't been shipped yet. How long should I wait before raising some hell with ebay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
well, he does have lots of orders to ship out, so he'll probably group them all together and off to the post office.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Seems like I just got my order in before they shut down. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I put senders name as earmarket. Not sure if thats the correct thing to put, but I trust the xda member who said to.

Why in the world do we have to put a senders name anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I bought the $15 charger from him an hour earlier and that he shipped that the next day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
Thats exactly what I was thinking.

I was like Senders Name WTF?! Obviously I put my name for Receivers Name and then by accident I pasted my name again in the Sender Name part! Whoops! Lol!

Im sure it won't affect the order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the seller of the item, or the person who listed the item is called earmarket, it's stated just above the pay button.

i think that gmarket operate differently, the item gets sent to gmarket first, then gmarket send the item to you, thats why you fill the address in separately, and the shipping is done through gmarket, this stops the seller from putting high shipping cost and reduce item cost, so that ebay/gmarket can earn the correct commission.

you know how us people in ebay likes to pay less commission by reducing item cost and increasing shipping cost, as commission is charged to the item only and not shipping.

they also say that extra shipping cost money not used will be put into the gaccount (gmarket)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
So how authentic do you guys think these are? You said the Korean galaxy nexus came with these extended batteries? Why just them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
they want to be different, the item come without boxes, so i presume they removed them and sell them separately, and the actual phone is exported overseas, i have noticed this, as in china shenzhen receives over 50-60 pieces of phones without anything (just phone, battery and battery cover), just the standalone phone and gets shared between 5-6 shops to sell, i see the shops check the phone to see if they function properly before they start to sell them.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

their standard package.

http://smartdevice.kr/172
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
can he pick me one up also? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
They come standard in the package with the phone, so i dont think it's sold as a optional accessories just like that of the i9100 extended battery and cover set with full packaging, you probably have to buy it as a spare part from samsung which are pretty expensive, or just buy from gmarket whether from your country or in korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
just placed my order on gmarket, came out to $46.01 USD via PayPal

the seller's name is 'earmaket' not 'earmarket' but i don't know if it matters

heads up -- the policy details say the recipient must pay any incurred customs charges
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
That's pretty standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
custom tax, import tax etc, lucky we dont have these in hong kong.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sukhoi37:
Any link?

I couldn't find it on gmarket Korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PTzero:
Interesting turn of events... I was one of the people who bought it for $80 but I just got an email from shimshop that have lowered the price to $54 and offered me a refund for the difference. I'll take that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jopherr:
reporting from HK. no such luck. i spent a good 2-3 hours scavenging for batteries from the local shops to the street sellers. none of them have any batteries in stock yet. in addition, they said that they wont get battery covers ( for whatever reason). however, mhl cables and adapters are rather cheap here ~$10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vertiginouz:
Just tried to order the extended battery and cover for around $46 but when I clicked on confirm, it brought me back to the main site where it said my order was cancelled for whatever reason... I went to the paypal website to confirm the transaction never went through. Anyone know why it was cancelled?

EDIT:

Nevermind I just ended up buying from shimshop on ebay since the price was lowered to $54...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
The Extended Battery from shimshop is now only GBP 23. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Just canceled my order with gmarket and ordered from ebay. I feel much better ordering from ebay, even if gmarket is an ebay company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
How did you cancel your order from Gmarket? Can ya help me step by step? I assume the language barrier is gonna be difficult.

I would appreciate it so much!

EDIT: Just cancelled by following these steps:

http://www.gmarket.com.sg/gmkt.inc/CS/HelpFaqContent.aspx?searchkind=E6&viewno=5746

Pretty quick and simple. Went back straight through PayPal and onto my credit card. Allows me to have confidence in dealing with Gmarket in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sobanb:
Their prices dropped so I ordered a door + battery combo for $55.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Ill look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipson626:
Just a fyi, South Korea lives off of IE. Use IE only to interact with Korean sites. (They love their ActiveX)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipson626:
This. I haven't seen them anywhere and even going to the Samsung service centers came up with nothing. If you can find them, I'd be curious as to where.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
i'm staying with gmarket, it also show how i can order from them from now on, but the main thing is i hate to give in to people like shimshop who likes to malipulate the prices, it seems he's been watching this site, and knows everyone is buying direct from korea, and with the high prices he'll probably get some orders cancelled and lose business, thats why it's price reduction time.

anyways i'll let you know how it goes on, and there's aways paypal protection.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

it shows in this link, so i assume it's a full package, but since you live in korea and can read, you probably can get more info about this.

http://smartdevice.kr/172
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I'm curious: has shimshop shipped out anyone's battery yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Mine's shipped. They even quoted me the EMS tracking number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
When did you order? Mine hasn't shipped yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MNX1024:
I think I'm still going to order from Gmarket. I mean, I'll be ordering two extended batteries, a extended cover, and a charging cradle. That comes up under $74USD and buying the same amount of stuff from shimshop on ebay would cost me $104USD. That's just way too much. Also, when I messaged the seller to see if I would get a discount for buying all that at once, I get a reply of a measly $2 off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PTzero:
I have a tracking number as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
I missed the long discussion.

Is this extended battery genuine from Samsung and for Galaxy Nexus?

The one that you guys ordered from gmarket or simshop.

If yes, how is it possible if Samsung in Korea has not yet put it available to purchase.

Thanks
