[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Alright, for only $17.99 shipped I'm willing to give this thing a shot. Just ordered mine!
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
I really want this but don't want the added thickness.. :(

How thick is it with the extended battery and cover?
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
at first i was like dam it looked like my phone doubled but than i totaly forgot about it
[LG Nitro HD] mgoblueno1:
For me the way I would normally hold the phone, there is a small gap between the inside of my fingers and the phone, so the added bulk makes it feel a little more natural. Yes, it looks really thick, but in reality it feels fine. But, I wouldn't use it with tighter pants (jeans,khakis, etc...) because it would look massive in your pocket.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
Got mine yesterday and I have to admit the back cover and overall size of phone are perfect. Now I can tether all day and still have some juice at the end of the day. Will do another post in a couple of days to confirm battery life
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Slightly off topic, but what are you using to tether?
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
I have an Optimistic LTE (Canadian version of NITRO HD) and tether is built in the stock setup options
[LG Nitro HD] hem.acharya:
I didn't find this in ebay. anyone has a link to ebay

[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Oh OK. Its built in AT&T also. But I don't have a tethering plan.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Got mine today. It's currently charging.

So far I'm in agreement with most of the comments about this battery:

* The extra thickness of the battery/cover basically doubles the thickness of the Nitro...Which I actually like.

* The replacement cover is of the same high quality and fit as the original, including the texture on the back.

Can't comment on the capacity yet, but so far I'm very impressed with the package received...Especially at such a low price!
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
It's a WINNER!

BOTTOM LINE:

It's still only the 1st charge and 1st use, but so far I am wholly impressed!

A Little non-scientific testing

After charging overnight, this morning the Hyperion got put through a little bit of stress testing.

Every morning my young Son wakes up much earlier than I do, to keep him occupied so Dad can get a few more Zzzz's, I let him play some games on the Nitro.

Because of the types of games he likes and if he's been playing the whole time while we're getting ready for work/school...My Nitro is usually down to around 20%. Today, on the way out the door, he finally gives up the phone and when I check the battery is at 70% !!

During my commute to work, I fire up a session of Sentinel 3 (tower defense game) which is another battery killer app. When I get to my desk I'm expecting to see the battery in the area of 20%...But it's at 50%! Nice!

Other Fringe Benefits

* With the extra thickness of the back cover, the camera is now recessed by around 1/4", which means less finger smudges

* The thicker profile of the phone now also dissipates the heat more, meaning the back doesn't get as hot anymore
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I think I'm just going to have to break down and order one.
[LG Nitro HD] hem.acharya:
with all these good review i couldn't stop myself. ordered mine for $17.99 with $14.99 for international shipping . it will take about 2 weeks to reach here now . lets see then
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
I love my new big fat battery...
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
Just ordered mine off eBay, $17.99 with free expedited shipping!

Extra battery life will be great, I am more excited about the added weight and thickness. I am a big guy with pretty big hands, sometimes it really feels to small and light. My wife has the Skyrocket and I hate how thin and light it is. Feels cheap and plastic-y.

I will report back with perfomance results. Currenly with CM9 and stock battery I get roughly 10-11 hours of medium use. If I could get a solid day (from waking up to going to bed) that would be awesome.
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
you will! just fully charge battery first.....if i am surfing the web or using the phone data either 4g or lte in like 2 hours my phone is like already 15 percent...with screen at almost max brightnes...and same scenario with the hyper battery itl be at like around 70 percent left lol
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
This just sold me. I've been frustrated more and more with the stock battery lately. It got better for awhile, but now its getting worse. Ill have to get the Hyperion.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
1 week check-in.

* No more worries about letting my young son play games on my Nitro. With the stock battery I was always worried that he'd burn the battery down playing games while I wasn't looking and when I'd be leaving the house I'd have a dead phone. Those worries are totally gone now.

* With the stock battery, if the phone wasn't in my hand being used, I had to be vigilant in ALWAYS making sure it was plugged-in being charged. I can relax a little now.

I'm not specifically giving credit for those niceties to the Hyperion battery, but more so to having a PROPER battery capacity for a workhorse phone. It's damned nice that my priority now is thinking about what's coming in the next ROM nightly, instead of how far am I away from a power source.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
I am totally satisfied with the Hyperion. I leave in the morning and only put it on the charger before going to bed at night.. On the weekend I can use it Saturday and part of the day on Sunday.
[LG Nitro HD] chrisrotolo:
anyone have any case solutions for extended batteries, Im searching now..

thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Well there are no cases but im thinking of getting a silicone and cutting it in a way that it hugs the phone in the front a little and also on the side. im not to worried about the back but I just want something around the phone so i can feel better and know that if it drops, all the impact is not falling on the phone
[LG Nitro HD] k4ce:
I finally got my battery .. ordered on amazon .. they had some issues finding inventory but they kept me updated with the situation ...

And to the battery itself, I am quite excited (I was even more excited when I ordered it cos I was getting 8-10 hours on one charge ... and then I flashed the P936 kdz and not get close to 14-15) ...

Quick question .. Do I have to do the 12 hour charge ? Cos I just put it to charge and need the phone in the evening ... I think I will just pull it out once it has done 100pc ... I really want this battery to give me as much life as my friend's razr maxx ...
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
No, once it says "charged" instead of "charging" you're good to go.

LG Optimus LTE2 2150mAh battery size?

Does anyone know if the battery in the new Optimus LTE2 will fit in the P930?

It is supposed to be 2150 mAh and the phone does not appear to be any thicker, so I'm thinking it may be a nice stock upgrade if it fits.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
The new optimus isn't even released in Korea yet so unless someone has insiders for LG, were going to have to wait and see. The battery is probably wider than ours though, that extra capacity takes more volume
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
It is possible, from what I know it's going to be the same size, however, they could've just made more room for a larger battery aswell.
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
Got my battery Saturday in the mail, fully charge and discharge got me over 14 hours - almost 50% increase (stock battery got ~10hrs). I am assuming like the stock battery this one will get even better after a few cycles, maybe up to 16 hours!

It pretty much doubles the thickness of the phone and adds some weight, neither is a big deal. I actually like the added weight, I just need to get used to the increased size.

Overall very satisfied.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I just bought one on eBay for $10 shipped. Guy bought it for his Optimus only to realize the cover didn't fit. Never charged or used the battery. Can't wait to get it.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I got my 2x 3800mah unbranded batteries from eBay, and so far I'm quite pleased with the additional capacity! Will have to do a battery rundown test today.
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
One side note, i do have to give a knock for the cover. It is not as textured as the stock cover and the sides are actually quite slick. Its decent enough, I would have hoped it would have been identical to stock.

Also on mine, the right side (opposite volume rocker) does not fit perfectly. there is a very small gap.

Performance wise, I am getting a solid 16 hours, and change, which for $18 bux is an excellent value!
[LG Nitro HD] atsim:
Got mine in last night charged it till 1:00pm today and so far its working really well,probably better after a full drain and full charge. For $18 no complaints. Don't even mind the extra thickness
[LG Nitro HD] k4ce:
I am using this battery with cm9. Great backup. However one issue. When my battery dies and I put it to charge, it won't boot till I do a battery pull. Anyone else with the same issue ?
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
Its something with the phone... when you run it dead, it doesnt want to start back up. My solution has been to just leave it plugged in for a bit, 5-10 minutes, pull the plug and turn on. When you see the CM9 spash plug it back in.

It did this to me even with stock battery on stock rom.
[LG Nitro HD] k4ce:
Yes, that works ... but I had to wait a bit longer... the trick is to unplug before you turn it on... else it shows the LG logo and goes back to the charging screen ,...

Its really sad that it happens with the stock rom also ...
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Ok so after a few days of using this battery I absolutely love it compared to stock. After charging it for 14 hours (recommend is 12, but I was away from the house longer than expected) I got 31 hours of battery life - very light usage though. I'm just now about to plug it in after about 26 hours of standard usage. Before this battery I was forced to carry a charger with me at all times - not anymore.

Now here is the big negative for me...

Due to the battery door/cover not having that sticker on the inside with the wires or whatever it is like on the stock battery cover I suffer from reduced cell signal. Apparently that sticker on the inside of the OEM door actually is for reception.

I work in the oilfield so I'm always in rural areas. I use an amplified signal booster in my truck and I can get good 4G signal with the stock battery door installed, but not with the Hyperion battery door. This is the only downside I've experienced with this setup and I'm going to see if there is a way to fix it.

I've always laughed at the stick-on "antenna boosters" that are sold on amazon and ebay and in convenience stores for just a couple dollars, but is that essentially what's in the stock battery door?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I did some tests with the stock back cover and without any back cover on, and i found there was no variance in my signal strength. Not sure why you are experiencing that.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Because I'm in the middle of nowhere relying on a cradle booster. When you run the tests in an area with good or even decent signal you probably won't notice it. But when you're in the sticks like I am relying on a cradle type booster you'll notice it. I just need to find a solution.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
So I thought about contacting Hyperion and asking about plans or info on a case for the Nitro that fits around the thicker cover. I can't seem to find how to contact them though. Any ideas?
[LG Nitro HD] chinese.chopsticks:
Hey guys i was just wondering because some places ive read that the lg nitro hd (at&t) is different from the lg optimus lte (bell) so i was wondering if this would work with the bell optimus lte and if any of you guys have tried this

thanks
[LG Nitro HD] jekostas:
You read wrong. They are the same phone.
[LG Nitro HD] Victor B:
Anyone have more pictures of the phone with battery on?
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Maybe not the best pics, but here are a couple I just took with my wife's infuse.

View attachment 1082551
[LG Nitro HD] Victor B:
Thanks! Gives me a better look at how thick it is.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
The thickness is essentially doubled, but I kind of like it better. It feels more sturdy and is a bit easier to handle for me. Even if I didn't like the bulk I would deal with it because of how well the battery performs. With very light usage I got 45.5 hours of battery life recently. With normal medium usage I'm averaging over 24 hours of battery life.

Only way I could be any happier is if I could find a case for it.
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
I completely Agree. I bought a case and im going to modify it. I just need atleast the corners to have some sort of protection. Ill make a new thread to show you guys how it goes. and what Rom are you running? stock gingerbread or leaked ics? because on CM9, i dont get those times at all!! 18hours max on medium usage
[LG Nitro HD] Victor B:
Wow! That is some crazy battery life. I've only had my phone for 3 days, but i think I might pull the trigger on this battery. I'll give me self a full 7-10 days with the phone first to see how I fair. I have a feeling I'll be using this battery next week though.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Still on stock gingerbread. I figured out how to root easily, but never dove into flashing a rom. Too afraid if screwing up. I'm just waiting for official ICS.
[LG Nitro HD] stephensonbrady:
This makes me so happy... Running on CM9 9.0.0-RC1

Moderate use.
[LG Nitro HD] _b_ship:
Anyone try the Mugen Power Slim? Just curious, I really don't want the extra bulk.
[LG Nitro HD] dannghiem0801:
I just ordered mine from Ebay.

Unfortunately, I have a Ballistic case. I think i'll have to find a way to put them together.

I'm running ICS leak and battery life seems to be better than stock GB.But still not enough for me.
[LG Nitro HD] Andasa:
Strange,my battery life 9-12 hours in CM9. 18 hours with ICS leak
[LG Nitro HD] dannghiem0801:
Are you a heavy user?
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
You're getting up to twice the battery life with ICS leak over CM9 RC1??? Maybe I should try the leak.
[LG Nitro HD] birton:
Just FYI, I bought 2 of Hyperion 1900mAh batteries and they are good. The battery life is almost the same as original. Also their AS are good. One of my battery didn't report battery percentage which always say 100% so I emailed them and they send a new one for me. Now I dont need to worry about my battery for 3-4 days with my extra 3 batteries and the same back cover, no thickness addition. Here is the link for it. Woops I couldn't link it... Goto amazon and search for 'Hyperion LG Nitro 4G 2 x Battery + Charger' They are cheap enough.
[LG Nitro HD] dannghiem0801:
I just got mine yesterday.

I plugged it over night.

Now I've been having an issue, everytime I unpplug my phone wether USB or wall charger, the phone power just drops.I have to turn it on again.

Really annoying me.

Any thought,folks?

I tried the OEM battery and everything behaves fine,no problem at all.
[LG Nitro HD] brendenr89:
Just received this in the mail yesterday. After a full charge i went to work at 3:00PM, I work as a front desk clerk in a small town hotel so i browsed the internet pretty much the entire shift 3-11pm. Just now put on the charger about 10 minutes ago. Worth the $20 easily. From what I understand after a few full cycles it improves greatly! I pretty much went from 4.5 hours to 18 hours, no complaints here!
[LG Nitro HD] gtsai:
Antutu Score 557

I wanted to share my experience with my 3-month battery. I tried multiple apps to measure its real capacity, and the only useful one is AnTuTu Tester. My phone's number is 557, and the nearest comparison it found was that it is approximately 40% higher than the HD2, just a little better than galaxy s2. The original battery scores 256, very low. Please try this app and post your numbers here.

stock rom?

Hey All,

I bought a similar product off eBay ... didn't see this thread until now... regardless, I'm running stock Bell ROM on the Optimus LTE. I charged the 3800 mah battery last night for about 12 hours... to 100% + today I've seen no boost at all to the battery life. Is this because I'm running stock rom that is not rooted? or should I be returning my battery and buying hyperion?

Your advice and comments are very much appreciated.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I installed the Hyperion with stock rom and noticed much better battery life.
[LG Nitro HD] bryan49:
what about root?

was it rooted though?
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
It was rooted, but no custom rom or kernel. I used the NoBloat Free app to disable some bloat I wasn't using, but that's it.
[LG Nitro HD] mast3rvo:
Just starting using this battery this morning after charging it over night. So far I'm at 81% after 7Hr 47 min with about an hour of screen use.

Airplane mode with Wi-Fi connected the entire time. Watched a few YouTube videos, browsed Instagram and Friendcaster, and read my Currents.

It seems to be better than the stock battery (my stock battery went from horrible to decent after calibrating and using it over the course of a week or so)

So far I'm liking this battery, the size and weight isn't really bothersome. The battery life should be even better in about a week or so after more usage so the phone can calibrate its measurements properly.

I'm on CM9 RC2 too btw
[LG Nitro HD] kroozcontrol:
I bought this battery almost straight away from amazon because the stock battery was giving me pretty sad length. I can tell you this, that is no longer even an issue. I fully charge every morning still but it lasts all day not matter what I do. I started out with the stock Gingerbread and then rooted the leaked ICS 4 and did the LG update to the stock ICS so it's still rooted.

I removed some bloatware and now, battery is just not an issue anymore at all. For 17 bucks? Can't go wrong.

Pros: The battery length (obviously), the extra thickness actually makes it easier to use. I prefer the thicker body and the weight increase is nothing to even speak of. The back fits perfectly and a few people have already asked my where I got the thicker stock back (not even caring about the battery).

Cons: The thickness makes my cover unusable and I've not found an alternative so it's long-life hyperion at home and work, and stock battery with protective case when out on the town.

I did drop my phone on the patio when I first got my hyperion and without the protective case, the plastic on the very edge of the screen got scratched. I smoothed it out but I was still miffed. So on the go, know that if you drop your phone and it lands face flat, it's likely going to get damaged. BUT, if you just switch backs and batteries when going out and put it back in the case, it's perfect, no worries. Best 17 bucks you can do for this phone.
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Yeah the battery if a life saver. I wish they did make a case for this phone with the battery but I guess not. I've been running the cm10 preview and its given me the best battery life out of any Rom for this phone. I'm completely happy. Edit until the battery breaks in and will last longer. about the drop, have to watch out. I've had countless phones and this one is the only one without case and its the one that I've dropped the least. I make sure that I don't drop it. Bought it with a broken screen and fixed it, and although the process to fix the screen is extremely easy, I just don't feel like paying for another, so I be careful. When cm10 comes, you'll be extremely satisfied. Jelly bean does some good work.

Sent from my Gameboy Color
[LG Nitro HD] kroozcontrol:
Yeah, that dropping thing I can no longer trust to my own clumsy ****. When I'm going to be on concrete, I just put my stock back and protective case on when I go out or anyplace sketchy where my clumsiness can reign. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the thicker back creates a recess where the camera (with the thicker back) is not so susceptible to fingers, thumbs, etc. I have a dSLR and don't use the phone camera much but the recess seems to create better photos as if the case acts like a lens shield to block out some ambient stray light from the periphery. Someone really into their phone camera (which to be truthful, is actually pretty darn good) can maybe test it but I don't use it that much. I gots ta get me a cm10 rom but I'm just going to enjoy everything working well for a while. Much as I love to geek these devices, I'm still all about practicality. LOL

battery?

hey guys just wondering about the initial charge its 12 hours right? and after that just full discharge and then full recharge but for full recharge do i just wait till it says full or do i have to wait extra on every recharge?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You actually don't have to do any of that stuff. Just use the battery and you're good.
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
I got one of these extended battery but its not branded and only $10.

http://www.tmart.com/3800mAh-Extended-Battery-with-Battery-Cover-for-LG-Nitro-HDP930_p157040.html

Over the last two days, I've been able to get 20-24 hours of the battery no problem. Its definitely got more mAh than the stock battery.

I actually like the soft rubber feel on the extended back cover, its softer feel in the hand compared to the stock back cover.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
That's a great deal as long as it holds up. Its nice to have these inexpensive options out there.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Yeah I have 2 of those, pretty decent for the price. Can't use them right now or I'd drive myself crazy trying to pry the cover off every time my phone black screens haha.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I've been trying the Paranoid Androids and CM10's since late August and I've ran into quite a few black screens. Just hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and it will reboot. At least, it has for me every time.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Exactly what I do. I've never had to pull battery.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
important read

I purchased the hyperion battery a couple of months ago and just last week I started to see what looked like a little drop of water in the middle of the screen. I taught for sure that the screen was going on the fritz then today noticed that my case was not closing properly. opened it up and found that the battery started swelling which cause the little drop in the screen and the case not closing poorly.

just reverted back to the initial battery.

just wanted to let you guys know.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Thanks for the warning stemalo. I haven't noticed any issues, but know to check now.
[LG Nitro HD] BeatByte:
Woah, this exact thing happened to me, but I had no idea it was the battery's fault. Didn't even realize that the water drop in the screen is gone until now.
[LG Nitro HD] xilen:
How was the performance? Is it the same with the hyperion?
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
I don't have a Hyperion to compare but for the price I don't think it can be beat. It definitely lasts longer than stock, I wouldn't quite say 2x as long though. But definitely 1.5x.

If you look at the photos, the battery itself looks exactly like the Hyperion, even the cover.

Guys i think my battery is making my lg reboots, i just adjust an motorola V3 battery to the LG Nitro with some wires, and i was like multitasking alot till the battery died, and i dint expect cany kind of reboots. but i think my battery is causing them cause at the front side, the gold metal parts have some kind of holes..

any ideas for this?
[LG Nitro HD] Smitty7722:
Hey thanks for the reviews guys! Waiting for mine to arrive. I will post my experience soon.
