Nice! I was thinking of buying one. I'll be looking forward to seeing battery usage stats!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
So far my only complaint is that the phone and case is very slippery (i'm used to the silicone case) so it slides easily out of my pocket and onto the floor. I may investigate pouring my own silicone case mold of some kind.

Why not just use a second battery and swap? I hate how fat it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aalupatti:
Do not want to hijack the topic but seidio batteries are equally good , if not better

and cheaper

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Except with a horrible horrible hump.

The Mugen looks too thick for my tastes but the Seidio one is horrible beyond measure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Looking at the Seido battery, it is $20 cheaper, but also 400ma less than the other one. Not sure how much 400ma equals in terms of usable time, maybe 30-45 mins? I just wish the Seido case didn't look chopped in half. Mugen case is at least uniform.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
I actually don't mind the thickness -- it fits well into my hand, gives the phone some "fill". I usually use a case with the phone anyway, so it's not much thicker than that.

Obviously, extended batteries aren't for everyone. I actually do have a 2nd battery but then I need a place to carry it, and I don't just want it banging around in my pocket.

Another problem is that to swap batteries, you need to pry off the case, pull the flimsy OEM back cover, take out the battery and put the new one in, shutting down your phone in the process. Then you have to repower the phone, reapply the cover, reapply the case, and you've lost whatever you were doing in the interim.

Having more than double the battery power that's just "always there" is a much better option for me, but I haven't fully made up my mind yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jawain:
Very good point I also do have 2 batteries as well and switching between batteries is kind of annoying. So what kind of screen on times are getting and what's your battery life looking like towards the end of the day?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
It's too early to tell but I took it off the charger around 4pm yesterday, and it's now 9am and I'm at 78%.

Once I am down near the end of the battery I will post some BBB screens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MonkeyThumper:
I like the looks of this battery cover MUCH more than the one I have now for my extended battery. This looks so much more professional that the "warts" that the other manufactures have made to accommodate the NFC antenna. Very cool design to get the antenna in there.

Plus, this one gives more room for my Qi Wireless Charging project I want to work on...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pogiewun:
just purchased mine. i "liked" them on facebook and got 7% off.

guess i gotta sell my black seidio active case and my tryit black leather flip case now. pm me if you are interested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
21 hours on the battery now . It's still the first charge so these numbers will probably change, but it's at 75%.

Here is BetterBatteryStats:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
1. What is the blue strip across the top in the first picture?

I think I see, this is the kickstand.

2. Why is there a sticker covering the entire back of the cover (I think in pic 3)?

3. Does NFC work with this battery?

4. Is the kickstand part of the replacement case?

5. Does it replace only the back battery cover?

6. Can you snap another photo showing the battery actually in the phone without the cover?

7. From what it looks like, it makes the phone about twice as thick... is that about right?

8. Is it heavier?

Im not meaning to be a pain, Im very much considering picking up an extended battery and my experience with Seido batteries has been very positive but I think I like the design of this better than the Seido, I just want to make sure.

FYI, $92 on Amazon...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
Yup

The white thing in pic 3? That's the back of the battery.

Yes. It has an NFC antenna.

Yes.

Yes.

That's what Pic 3 is. The battery sticks out of the phone. That's why the new cover is fatter.

Yup. The phone is quite thin to begin with.

Of course. I didn't weigh it before I put the new battery in, but WITH the new battery and the case, it weighs 240 g.

I love Seidio too but their extended battery case is ugly as sin.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
So here you can see the stats for today. 11 hours on the battery, moderate use, 1 h 11 m of screen-on time, some bluetooth, short phone calls. On the stock battery, I'd be down around 50 or 40%, but I am at 75% on this.

It's got a TON of power.

I would agree for the most part however no removable battery and no micro sd expansion slot are kind deal breakers for me. Probably stick with the EVO 3D for sometime and hope ICS update evtually comes and hopefully brings some enhancements other than just ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
The One X camera didnt even beat the GS2 or the 4S in reviews lol. Of course none of the HTC die hards will admit anything other than an HTC phone being better anyways. And yea id rather wait to have the better phone, I made the mistake of not doing so with the 3D last year.. not this year. More memory, better processor, bigger screen, thinner, removable battery...yea works for me. Being able to take 90 pics in a minute doesnt matter to me when the optics still suck. Comparison below pretty much shuts that down.

[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
Its official, the Samsung GSIII has a REMOVABLE battery. This is the ONE thing I with the EVO 4G LTE (One X) was going to have. This could tip the scales for me. Sprint beefed the battery in the U.S. EVO 4G LTE over the One X specs. This chart has the One X. Still, removable is good. I dont know what I'll do now. I prefer sense over TouchWiz crap too.

[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
Fanboy detected.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
This will be my next phone as well. I am not sure what everyones problem with Touch Wiz is. I find the Galaxy s3 to be a nice phone and it is what I am wanting next. Each person has their preferences and people that want to make an ass out of themselves by making juvenile coments like yours should just keep your comments to themselves. WhY does the fact that someone else wants to leave HTC and go to samsung get you butthurt? This is a thread to discuss the Galaxy S3 after all.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Dabg that shutter speed is fast combined with Samsung's awesome sensor, makes me a happy photo enthusiast. I'd there's one thing I miss about the SGS2 it'd probably the superior image quality and colors.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I like the hardware components inside (which will put the phone a bit above the One X in benchmarks, most likely).

I DON'T like how the phone looks. It looks like a low end device to me. I was never planning on getting it, but I'm further convinced not to as of now. As much as I don't like to judge based off of look, well, I wouldn't enjoy looking at it, and that is a big down side for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
The design is more or less the same as the T-mobile variant of the GS2 which housed a round corner design. I agree though, I'd much take the same design or bit different design to that if the international GS2. That design had the best phone shape last year.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
U.S. release in June... all I needed to hear.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
LOL, don't hold your breath.

Samsung Mobile is planning a U.S. version of Galaxy S III, optimized for the fastest LTE and HSPA+ networks in the U.S., which will be available in the summer of 2012. Exact timing and retail channel availability is not being announced at this time.

BTW, you're right, they really focused on their camera big time. Its the best camera EVER INVENTED.

Samsung's Galaxy S III doesn't boast 41-megapixel captures or top-of-the-line optics. Instead, its camera's strengths are in its intelligent organization and social features, increasing the handset's appeal as a point-and-shoot alternative for casual photographers
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Oh he's #1 with that sgt slaughter dude being #2. Both should be on HTC's payroll lol. Don't understand loyalty to a brand when it's obviously not the best option. I was the same way up until I ditched the 3D though, HTC from the vogue to the touch pros to the hd2 to the hero to the Evo to the 3D. Personally, I prefer the best option and right now Samsung is winning that battle. They waited until HTC made their debut and upstaged them again just like last year lol. And again, Apple will come along soon and outsell both with the new iphone. Seems to be the trend as of lately.

[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Quoted from Samsung?? Didn't think so. I can take a million bloggers opinions and get a million different guesses on dates.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
AGREED. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the ****ty Samsung Instinct I had and the edges bring back ugly memories. I also don't like the the hardware button when it has software buttons too, pick either not both wtf. If the SGSIII looked like the Nexus but built with something better than that plastic I'd be really interested. Touch Whiz doesn't excite me either but a 3rd party launcher like Nova can solve that problem.

Sidenote, we can do without the fanboys trying to point out fanboys, you just look silly. It's a phone, get real.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Anyone have a link confirming whether or not the screen is pentile or if it has a removable battery?
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Removable???? I hadn't seen that yet. Hmmm, makes things interesting for me...

EDIT: Actually, no it doesn't. I am glad it is removable, but I won't be getting this phone.

My requirements for my next phone are:

5 inch or larger display

LTE

Quad-Core

Removable Battery

I don't think I'm being unreasonable. Because neither the One X nor the S3 has all those specs, I'm skipping this generation of phones.

That answers both your questions:
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Lol the gs3 is going to watch men jerk off :D . On a serious note although I am somewhat of an HTC fanboy , the s3 has caught my eye and its wise to say that it is the one X's Clear rival . Will I get it probably yes .
[HTC EVO 3D] NYCHitman1:
I dunno. The press conference just didn't really impress me. I liked what Samsung did, but just wasn't a fan of the hardware. SGS3 is clearly a winner software wise though.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I was SO excited about this phone and I'm not gonna lie, I'm left disappointed. Mainly with these three things:

The display being of a pentile type (basically a copy of the Galaxy Nexus screen)

The design

The materials used

I really thought Samsung was going to blow the One X/Evo LTE out of the water with this one. Apparently I was wrong. While I love the contrast and vivid colors of AMOLED displays, the color reproduction is awful unless it's the Plus (non-pentile) version and it's a lot easier to see jagged edges. I mean really, the original Galaxy S had a pentile, then they stepped up to a Plus with the GS II, and now they went backwards to a pentile? I just don't get it. All the review sites have said the One X has the best display on the market as of yet, and I just don't see how this one can compete.

Then there's the plastic. I guess it's sort of my fault for believing all the rumors of it having a ceramic type casing, but Samsung has come back with it's typical plastic. Granted it looks a bit higher quality than the GSII materials and I like the look of the blue version, but the polycarbonate on the One X and machined aluminum on the Evo LTE just have a much higher quality and visual appeal.

And also the design. It's just so...bland. While the One X also has a more or less simple design, it has nice details to it like around the camera and such. And the Evo LTE looks great other than the contrasting matte/gloss finish on the back and the slightly out of place looking red-stripe kickstand.

I know this is just based off first impressions, but I'm definitely let down. I also expected the quad core exynos to dominate performance wise, but early benchmarks show that it scored about the same if not less than the S4 version of the One X.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
Definitely not the end all be all I expected. Ill stick with my Note and 3d for awhile. I'm running ics on my Note and I'm pretty happy.

ill be interested in seeing what crapple has instore though, but I could never go with them not only because they are crapple, but also because they believe in micro size screens
[HTC EVO 3D] dylan6879:
not bad still sticking to the evo lte.. had a feeling the quad core exynos wasnt going to kill the krait and it looks like its not from these bench marks

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/gsiii-benchmarks/

so glad the evo has the krait and not the tegra.. dual core ftw!

Where can i see all the purchased apps?

Did they just make it so you see the install history? very annoying :-\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
go to your install history and swipe from right to left
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
I don't want to see all. Just purchased....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
When you pull up play store and you go to "my apps". It puts you at the installed list, if you swipe left to right you go to "all" which is a mix of purchased and non purchased apps. swiping right to left from all just goes back to installed, and you can not swipe right to left from installed. Someone care to show a screenshot of their play store "purchased" list without all the history?

Installed shows everything you have installed since you flashed, bought the phone, whatever. ALL shows everything mixed, purchased and non purchased apps installed on that account..

Where is the "purchased tab"? Before the market went to Play, you could see an Installed / Not Installed list, the Not Installed list ONLY showed purchased apps, nothing else.. Is there a way to get that back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Not on the phone. Their might be a way via the website, I rarely log in to the Playstore website.

Im just curious as to why this is a problem? Its not a big deal to scroll thru the list and look for the word "Purchased" on the right hand side, I have a list that is massively long because I have downloaded a crap load of apps (but I usually uninstall them shortly afterwards) and Im easily able to find what Im looking for, especially since the list provided is chronological.

Yes, it would be nice to have filtering and sorting options but I know right around when I downloaded a specific app that I dont remember the name for.

Now, if you have Appbrain installed, I do believe their website has filtering and sorting available for your install history...

Oh, if the reason is because during the Android initial setup process, all your apps automatically install, just uncheck the 'restore my phone settings' option when prompted (its on the screen either just before or just after the 'backup my phone' option).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
It's a big deal.

Very annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
Yea, Its very annoying. Cause I have to search for my PAID apps, As it shows almost everything ive downloaded since 2010!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
I guess, I find it quite useful actually.

The way it used to be, that free app I downloaded 3 months ago that I couldnt remember the name of, I can now find.

It also doesnt help that a few apps had a key which is the paid portion of said app without having the free portion of the app. Yes, I know I could go into the 'key' app and then look at related or more from the developer to get the actual app itself but now its in the list.

As I said, some filtering and sorting options would be nice but you can always scroll thru the list and look for the word 'Purchased'. Its not hard to do. And if you have a general idea of when you purchased the app, it gives you an idea of how far back to scroll.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
The Play store is definately in need of more filtering options!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kaibosh:
Can't agree more about missing the list of the purchased (but not installed apps)..

I used to purchase apps that I thought would come in useful at some point down the track and use it as a bit of a bookmark that I could easily access..

Showing everything that's been installed is useful to some people I suppose, but there should be a filter, or another screen to filter by things I've actually paid for and aren't installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
yea um you cant even see all the apps on the website it shows 20 blocks and no more. 12 per page 20 blocks. 224 apps thats it i have some old apps that i purchased on the hero back when it was first released and i can no longer get to them. its really freakin annoying having to search for PAID apps. this was the WORST decision they could have made. really how hard would it have been to make a 3rd column for recent free apps. or something like that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
No, the new version of the market still lacks this valuable feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] swimguy81084:
Google Checkout

Its still a pain and not a direct download link to the app, but you can view your transaction history on Google checkout and then find the app in the store (wallet dot google dot com). I've run into the same issue after wiping my phone and trying to remember what i've actually purchased for re-download.

I wish there were an easier way to simply sort by paid/free in you history as with the general market.
