You're in a Verizon forum, son.

Trust me bro... You will have zero regrets! I read your aka P.O.S. thread over there in the s5 thread... Lol.. that thread had me rolling... All those guys pissing and moaning...they have the power to get a unlocked phone and keep Verizon coverage... But there sheep... After my locked down note 3 that I paid cash for... Samsung will never get another penny from me! HTC 4 life!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] stevoswifty:
I am a Samsung fan in theory mainly due to being able to remove the battery and the card slot , I came to the one m7 a couple weeks ago from the note 2 and I'm very impressed so far,Apart from battery life and the camera the sound quality is fantastic feels good in the hand and the screen seems a little sharper and it is definitely better built I think the m8 will be my next device or the g3

Hey did I mention I love this phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
What's not to love? It's fast, beautiful, the battery lasts forever, and in a few short weeks, we've got root, s-off, firmware updates, custom roms and kernels. Best phone I've ever had!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabil_na2001:
guilty as charged

Im giving internet to the other phone most of the day

using facebook, viber, camera and literary abusing the phone

Bluetooth sync to my car

and at night I have to forcefully drain the battery to a 10-20% so I can recharge

This is the only smart phone in the world that does that

I charged my Iphone twice a day and tethering would drain it in an hour

I Love my M8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] frank_datank:
Couldn't agree more!

I came from a Droid 4, so the speed and battery life increases were ridiculous. I'm always out on the road so the S-off + native wifi tether was a much needed compliment to the unlimited data plan.

And I can't go on enough about this battery! After a full day's use, I'm rarely below 35% at night.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DPArnety:
Awesome phone!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Love it! Got root, got S = Off, Got TWRP, Got AndyBones' Bonestock ROM and, sooner or later, Invisiblek or some other Developer will give us CyanogenMod!

Could I ask for more? Well, it could do my laundry.... :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcklss1:
I had the m7 on at&t after having mostly Samsung's and a g2 and a moto x... It was time to switch carriers and love the m8 and I would have gotten it on whatever carrier I went with but the Verizon buy one get one deal was just too much to pass up... I was tired of Samsung's, LG's, and Motorola's anti root anti bootloader unlocking stance (carriers are just as much to blame) ... My m7 was unlocked and converted to a dev edition and aside from being an awesome phone with solid hardware and software that freedom won my money in choosing HTC and the M8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cepheid46e2:
Both the phone and the UI were designed well (minus Blinkfeed).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DPArnety:
Unbelievable battery!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jpmcnown:
I would have thought this thread to be "unnecessary", but ironically, whereas I needed a thread to vent about my frustrations with the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S5, I'm glad there's a thread to simply recognize the awesomeness that is the HTC One. Root, etc aside, The One is simply put, a much better phone. Ya know what sealed the deal for me? A natural aversion to the cult mindset which has become Samsung. Thank you lord for delivering me from evil. :angel:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Hah I remember reading that thread. It was kind of sad. Your car dealership metaphor nailed it though.

FM Transmitter

All this phone is missing is FM Transmitter. That would have made it perfect for me. Why do these companies keep leaving this out?

They are trying to actually sell these phones and on their eco system right ?

guess its the NEO900 for me afterall

ps: wasn't even worried about the NFC position i could have just use the device inverted.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
I honestly can't think of anybody in my entire life that ever used FM transmitters in their phone. I'm not saying it's not a cool feature, but HTC had to cut costs as much as possible and I'm glad they chose that feature over something else more appealing to leave out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zacwilliam:
What do you use the FM Transmitter for? Car audio? Wouldn't it be easier and (theoretically better) to just use an auxiliary cable?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
I use it.

And a simple search would show you many more people use it as well.

Wired is a thing of the past. And its not JUST for car audio there are other uses for it.

Bluetooth is also not practical in all cases either if that's what you are thinking.

And just in case anyone else is doubting this.

There is a reason the NEO900 project has already crowdsourced 100,000$ in under 3 months just in pre-orders.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
I was speaking from personal experience.

Sorry buddy. Better luck next phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
I'm not your "buddy". And i didn't come here to be rude.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I use FM radio when I'm on the go with my VZW M8. Why should I waste my data when I can get live radio free? Especially when I can plug in an earphone and run the FM radio through the speakers.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
Look, it sucks that they didn't put in FM radio, I get that. Chances are that any FM station you listen to participates in an FM radio aggregator like iHeartRadio or even have their own app where you can stream it online. It uses data, which is a downfall, but it is available.

I would imagine that was a big point that was brought up when discussing the feature.

Not trying to be rude, just realistic. Carriers want you to use data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
Rich, TheMavic,

We are mainly talking about FM Transmitter (tx) not FM Receiver. (rx)

But yes the FM Radio is equally important especially with both RDS2.0 and Text+2 right around the corner

EDIT: By the way RDS2 Will be backwards compatible with RDS1 and will also include 2 additional sub carrier EMA stations which will be completely analog and easier for devices to "hear" in a emergency. I thought this might be important to point out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Oohhhhhh , ignore me ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
No worries. I made the same mistake myself a while back.

By the way did your vrz M8 come factory unlocked ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kolembo:
Going for it. M8 all the way.

I wish they'd been a little more bold with the design tweaks but looked at the S5, thought, 'meh', read this and made a choice.

M8 it is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
Oh. Transmitter. That must have been where the confusion started. My apologies.

Just curious, what type of things can you do with an FM transmitter?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
No worries. Like i said ive made that mistake myself. I mainly would use it to output music to my car audio.

At the gym or for speakerphone in the car to override a playlist.

But there are other uses as well.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verrocio:
Just wanted to point out yet again just so there is no confusion. My comments are about FM Transmitter not FM Radio.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Napoleones:
Who will not love this phone?

The HTC One M8's sumptuous aluminum body makes a beautiful background for this top-flight smartphone's brilliant 5-inch display. It runs on a powerful quad-core processor and Android KitKat, the stereo speakers deliver excellent sound, and the depth-sensing camera brings a ton of useful features. Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer.

Design-wise, this certainly sets the bar high for any subsequent smartphone, let alone an HTC One follow up. I can confirm though the new HTC One M8 is one heck of a handsome device, the sexiest smartphone I've seen all year in fact (including the Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2). While HTC's latest creation is more conservatively-styled than the previous One, its has a look that's just as premium.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tenderfoots:
Picked up this MPJ out off their website for $17.99 because I CANNOT find it on Amazon.

WHERE I BUY

A backup battery means a lot to me as my Galaxy S5 is running many apps, even though battery life on this phone is already an impressive part. Just received mine with a small bag, unwrapped and put it in. It seems a little larger than stock battery, ensuring a snug fit.

The 2800mAh to 4300mAh bump isn’t there for sure but there is still some increase. I’ll update soon after 2-3 times charging cycles.

After I fully charged it 3 times, it seemed to do great. This is my moderate to quite heavily day yesterday. With almost same usages (no auto brightness, average web browsing, bunch of streaming videos, texting, calling and etc.), stock downs to 20-30% by the time I went to bed and the new battery I'm at about 45%.

EDIT: Do not expect seeing any dramatic changes. Normally improving 10-15%, and there are several times, depending on my usages, where it up to 15%-20%.

6+ hrs on screen is my best by far and this is including 4-5 hrs of idle and light/moderate using, and only 1-2 hrs of heavy browsing, texting, etc. Have been also skeptical and hesitated about whether to pick up this without many reviews but on second thought, I can be the first and share my experience if that’s a real good. YMMV, I am not thinking about if they are spending money on promoting the well-knowness for their company, as far as I can tell, it is working fine on MY GS5.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] btort1:
Won't this affect the IP67?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lurch0101:
wondering the same thing. This battery doesn't seem too expensive.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] benno4403:
I'm really interested in a real capacity test of this battery
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Metalshadowx2:
It shouldn't seeing how it can use the original back.

I also to would like to see the stats on this baby because of the no extra bulk.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Tianwonna:
where did you get it?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JGillis2391:
I was about to post about this same battery! I ordered it on Amazon for about $5. I hope it is better than the stock battery! Here's a link if interested.

http://www.amazon.com/4300mAh-Capac...qid=1398390303&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s5+4300
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] GTsteve:
Interested to see how this battery works For long term use. Wonder if it effects the phone any?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Tianwonna:
Oh sweet, Thank you! =)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
These batteries don't hold quite the charge the OEM batteries do, but it'll last a good 8 hours. I ordered a pair of these batteries and I'll see how long they last (Hyperion batteries have a good track record with my phones).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lurch0101:
thanks...for $5 why not.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jrubenc:
5234924

You really don't expect those $5 being better than the original one.. do you..? :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] slight22:
Nope, so I bought 3 of them. at 6 dollars a piece, and no shipping, even if i get one thats semi-decent it's better than no spare are all and I was making my way through a battery and a half per day on my S4.

*UPDATE*

4300 mHa Battery

I'm a very heavy user of my smartphone. When i had my Galaxy S4 i was going through a battery and a half per day. When i saw these batteries i thought i'd give them a try. I though 6 bucks, each, bought 3 of them for the hell of it. So in the old phrase of you get what you pay for is absolutely true in this case.

These batteries even say "Long Lasting High Capacity Li-ion battery" and are a 4300mAh battery, where the stock is 2800mAh. So in theory these batteries are 45% bigger than stock and should give me relatively 45% more time in operation of my smartphone on a single charge.

What it has given me is a great deal less. My S5 on the OEM battery would last from when i unplugged it at 6am to usually 5:30 or 6 at night before I hit the 30% alert. I just checked and my phone is currently 4H 50M 06S in and I am down to 38%. This battery as it sits is a complete waste of money.

Now as they were only 6 bucks each I did buy 3 so I will try the other two over the next couple days but if they are the same, then my suggestion is do not buy this product.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AuGmENTor:
I just went with this one. Guess we'll see. I'll update a couple weeks after it gets here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JIL7C5S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jrubenc:
Makes sense, yes ;) After all, no matter how advanced the phone is: the more advanced, the more battery eats.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sarou:
Hum... I don't know if this battery i sreally a 4300mah...

Someone test the battery recently ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Spartagek:
I'm using this "brand" ( well, these printed labels ) since the S1 series.

They may not be the full 3800Mah capacity, but they always give me a full day of operation ( depending on the use offcourse )

I'm not able to test the capacity-claims ( because I don't know how )

All I know is the length of operation.

On the S2 and Note1 the power was slightly smaller, my order is coming in a few days

Will report back
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AuGmENTor:
I can't wait for ZeroLemon to release theirs. It was worth every millimeter of extra hugeness on my S4.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tenderfoots:
It is the same dimension so I assume 20%~ more.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
I ordered this one the other day http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JB5OGWS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 shipped out today shall see how it goes.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
Does the s5 have the nfc built into the battery like the note3?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ztmike:
So a average increase and nothing dramatic like you would getting a actual 4300mah or whatever size they claim it was..

Does NFC and wireless charging with Samsung's official back (standard not the S-view) back still work with this mpj battery?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Diafthora:
If you check their site, at the bottom of the page, it specifically says that NFC does NOT work with this battery, however, they said one that does work with NFC is coming in 20 days. I'm not sure how long ago that was posted, but I'm going to wait until the one that works with NFC is available before I make a purchase.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] nopeno:
Moved to Galaxy S5 last week and it is an awesome device but I am really a heavy user, so...

I ordered the 8200mah.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] idedog:
Is the NFC available now?

http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-4300m...900-g900m-g900a-g900t-g900v-g900r4-g900p.html

"THIS HAVE NFC OR WITHOUT NFC CAN BE SELECTED."

[MENTION=5798521]tenderfoots[/MENTION] , is the battery still going good?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ponydrum:
I noticed it is 3.8V in this battery which is lower than original. Any difference?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tenderfoots:
Yes, still hold up well and I rotated it with the stock battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] liammc83:
Did you read the reviews ? I ordered the similar one from a different seller on amazon. Shipped from china. Waste of time and money. About 2 hrs screen time from my experience. Battery drops 4-5 percent when you simply unplug them.

Just a heads up. After you use the battery when it finally arrives the seller will claim it is defective and want you to pay to return it to china.

But I guess it's possible we all who ordered originally when they were first listed got them all from a bad batch......

Good luck
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Purest:
Does that back cover still have the water seals? If it's still waterproof that would be a great deal.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bloodrain954:
None of the non-oem backs will, china doesn't give a ****
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] s13silviaguy:
I'm interested in this as well.. I hope we get an answer
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] xda23:
So your able to use the stock back plate with this 4300 mah battery? Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
I wouldn't trust any non samsung made backcover for being water proof even if it did have the seals.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
Please do report back how it is :) planning to get one myself too!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] xda23:
I will do. :cool:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] pham87:
have one

nothing scentific to measure , just feels like an ordinary 2800mah to me.

i.e. both batteries I'll have around 40% after a work day.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] slight22:
Weaker than OEM

Won't let me delete.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] xda23:
So I assume any case will work with this battery. The same case with stock battery will work with this battery as well. Thanks In advance!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] chofate:
Any update of 8200mah type?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kawaiichi:
is there a coupon or discount code for this MPJ battery?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Syn Ack:
Bought, will test.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
Cheers.

Out of curiosity you bought the MPJ 4300mah right?

Because some people have been complaining about it being crappy quality when they just bought a no brand 4300mah.

I wanna know if there is actually a difference :)

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Really? OP showed significantly better battery life compared to stock...

you two do have the MPJ one right?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Syn Ack:
Yes I bought the MPJ 4300mah for $18. Thank god I read through this thread and bought the right one. I'm expecting at least a 25% to 50% upgrade after OP's first impressions. His normal battery saw ~25% after a whole day and his MPJ battery saw ~45%. That's perfect for me.

[MENTION=5798521]tenderfoots[/MENTION] how long did it take your order to ship? And where is it coming from?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] demarco5:
my mpj 4300 will be delivered tomorrow, bought it 3 weeks ago

well see if it gives me the 20% more juice im looking for to manage a whole heavy usage day
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
same thing. Waiting for it on mail.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] demarco5:
got the 4300mah in the mail today, its def not 4300mah ...its draining at the same exact rate as my original battery

keep you posted after a cycle or 2
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] xda23:
I'm trying to find a rubber, silicone case that will fit my tmobile Gs5 with the mpj 8200 mah battery.If anyone know of a website showing cases please someone post it. Thanks In advance!!! :cool:

the mpj one? or the other unbranded one?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Nice source and evidence bro.

OP even posted his battery stats. Unless you are some theorist that claims he somehow manipulated his image rofl.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JoeeeWhite:
Have a link? Want to see it next to original battery stats.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

There is a limit on Energy density (mAh per cubic mm - http://batteryuniversity.com). It's a hard fact, with technology available today, no one can achieve 60% more capacity in same size.

Small improvements (5-10-15%) can be done, since there are some improved cells appear regularly, and after a device is already released some 3rd party companies can build a better ones with fresher cells.

Anyone claiming +60% capacity in same size is a liar.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
There is a thread in the general section where people post their battery life. Nobody has been able to achieve 6 hours + SOT with 40percent left to spare.

"After I fully charged it 3 times, it seemed to do great. This is my moderate to quite heavily day yesterday. With almost same usages (no auto brightness, average web browsing, bunch of streaming videos, texting, calling and etc.), stock downs to 20-30% by the time I went to bed and the new battery I'm at about 45%."

quoted directly from the OP
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] demarco5:
my MPJ lost 3% in 35mins idling this morning with no usage

battery is terrible compared the regular one, whoever is saying its better then the original are just lying, was it worth 17 for an emergency battery? maybe but its not as good as the original at all
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] demarco5:
were talking about the $17 MPJ battery not the 5 dollar amazon battery
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] devoidx:
So there is the OP that says he saw improvement on the battery (n=1) and then there is 10s of other people including this forum and amazon reviews that say the battery is crap and yet you're dismissing everyone's bad experience and sticking to the 1 person that claims they saw improvement....logical?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] xda23:
I'm thinking about ordering the 8200 mah battery from mpj.are mpj batteries generally good batteries?I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a case like a silicone,gel cases that would fit with the 8200 mah extended battery. Thanks In advance!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
Lmao nice evidence there Mr insider

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
nope.

because you won't shut the **** up and stop talking trash.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JoeeeWhite:
Well there is a physical evidence that a Energy density (Wh/L) of Li-Ion batteries is limited. And there is a company which says they can do it better by 60-80% in same physical size.

Then we have number of users in this thread and on amazon who report it's fake.

Can you please tell me who is talking trash.

Can you also confirm that the purpose of this forum is to shut the **** up.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hellscythe:
You're talking trash because you're calling everyone who has used this battery a liar without any hard evidence.

Continuing on from that you accuse them of working for MPJ, again, without evidence.

So in conclusion, you are trash talking because you are making far-fetched statements without any solid evidence.

The purpose of this forum is so users can discuss matters in ways that provoke thought and in a civilised manner, which you are not.

Therefore you should shut the **** up because you contribute nothing.
