tbh. i can't imagine a big difference between the 1450 mAh stock battery and the 1550 mugen version. that is less than 10 percent, if the battery lasts longer, it is not feelable i think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] heatsha:
1450mAh?? The magic have 1350 mAh and that make 200 mAh difference!!! That makes 15% !!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bademasta:
oh sorry, my fault.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] velenox:
If we want be really precise, the stock battery of the magic is 1340mAh, so mounting a 1550mAh mugen, would bring to the phone additional 210mAh.

Maybe this battery can last additional 2/3 hours.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Anyone ordered this? For that matter, any reviews on any of the extended batteries so far? I'm deciding between the quoted one and Yoobao for now. Don't like Mugen Power's battery cover :P. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Update: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2680mAh-Exten...riesQ5fMobilePhoneBatteriesQQsalenotsupported does not have the white back cover. I just placed an order for the Yoobao 2500mAH, will update when I get it =)!

This looks promising ive purchased seidio products before including thier extended batteries and ive always been happy with their products(just not thier prices)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] natesiy:
I bought the YooBao extended battery for the Magic. 2500mAh. Extremely cheap here in China. The backplate fits very well, probably better than the OEM, but it still has that trademark, bump-out that all the YooBao's have. Not very attractive.

Oh well, function over fashion, right.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KK43:
Mugen cheap, seidio expensive, mugen ships to the UK for free, seidio charges a fortune. Ordered from mugen, just the standard size one as I don't want the extra bulk. Hope it doesn't fry my phone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
How will you rate the Yoobao? I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mitac112:
Found this monster very cheap here in UK but have no balls to test it :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
I just bought the 1500 one from Mugen. Says free shipping so let's hope it ends up being that when it gets here to Canada.. lol.

Was going to get a massive battery but I don't think it's necessary for what I do. I have an HTC Battery bank too, so that and two batteries is good enough for me I think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] jundy:
the valuemax one looks quite big if the backs that big. Shame they dont do a white for the vod magic,wuda bin good to try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mitac112:
Compared to other extended covers is thinnest and prettiest :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] natesiy:
The YooBao performs well. With heavy WiFi usage, light phone conversations, light EDGE use, mid SMS use, it gets me a solid 2.5 days on a single charge. The battery indicator with the Hero ROMs have no trouble detecting the additional amperage. Goes 100% - 0% very accurately and predictably.

Value for the YooBao here in China, is exceptional at $14.70 USD shipped, including battery and backplate.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
I am still waiting on my Mugen battery. I ordered the 1550mah and it is on backorder. Anyone have experience with this battery or been able to get one yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Thanks for the review! I just got mine today, will report asap. By the way I actually find the cover quite nice looking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Hi all,

I've uploaded some pics of the Yoobao :). It's really worth it for the price! Battery's still at 60+% after a day of relatively heavy usage.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] adityaw:
I would love to know the answer of this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] walie:
does the battery cover have any impact on pictures taken by the camera? For example, the battery cover creating a shadown over the lens etc. going from the pictures, it appears the cover is too close to the lens
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KK43:
Ordered mine 21 august, got an email today saying it's being shipped today. I went for the free 5-10 working day shipping so not expecting it just yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
Same here. Whoever gets it first needs to post their impressions.

As a side note, I switched roms from the HoFo rom to Cyanogen and I am getting much better battery life. My phone ran with average usage for just under 23 hours yesterday. I was discharging it to get the battery memory back to normal as I was seeing different swings when I switched to Cyanogen. Anyway, I am now more than pleased with the stock battery as I can charge most every night. If the Mugen is 20% better, I will be thrilled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Hi there,

Nope, there's some curve at that part to prevent it from affecting the lens. I will try to post a pic tonight illustrating that :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] keisuke_z:
Seidio 1500mah extended battery

Hey folks,

Received my 1500mah battery over the weekend and have been using it since... with "always on" 3G, switching between 3g and wifi, constant email downloading via push, but keeping apps running to a minimum with task mgr, the battery has been holding up WAY better than the stock 1340mah battery.

In fact, I was streaming audio over wifi using DroidLive for around.... 30 minutes~ starting at about 80%, and only dropped by 2-3% (with the screen off though)... definitely seems to be a great battery. Keeping my fingers crossed it won't be blowing up or anything.....

Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
keisuke_z: How long is the Mugen battery lasting for you? :) I'm quite interested although I'm really pleased with the Yoobao.

Btw, sorry I have yet to upload any pics (to show that the Yoobao does not affect the camera), will do so as soon as I can.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
Wow, that's amazing. I got the 1500 mugen one and i've been download apps on market and just changing settings on new rom, and it went from 99 to 77 in 45 minutes.. garbage.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Didn't keisuke get the mugen as well?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Reignzone:
Nice.

Those are some pretty impressive numbers there.

Outstanding to say the least. I might have to look into that.

Great post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
I just went from 59 to 24 in 30 minutes of browsing Google reader and xda. It had better be this myhero Rom that sucks at battery and not the actual battery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
Hi, I've attached the pic showing the little curve for the camera. I'm really loving this Yoobao battery. I spent at least 3 hours surfing the net today, plus lots of other stuffs, pretty heavy usage, and it's still 40%!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
Hey guys, just want to suggest you do lots of researcha nd read as many reviews as you can on mugen batteries, because my battery that came with my magic, the 1350 or whatever it is, is destroying this 1500 mah one from mugen. it's very hard to understand why the 1500 sucks so much
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wysie:
keisuke_z: Is your Mugen still performing well?

briggs81: Thanks for the info, sorry to hear that :(.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
I don't want to throw mugen under the bus yet though. This could be my rom running at 524mhz constantly that is doing it, i am still researching it though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
Got my Mugen 1550 today. I have charged it 100% and using it heavily to run it completely down. I plan on giving it a good 8 hour charge tonight and see what she does. So far though, with heavy usage and no conditioning, its at least as good as the stock battery. It has been in for almost 4 hours now and running everything I can on the phone (wifi, BT, screen 100%, streaming music, flycast, market, Touchdown, Twitter, etc) and its only down to 64%. I will give a full report soon.

One quick observation, I weighed the battery on a postal scale and it weighed 25grams whereas the 1340 HTC weighed 26 grams. Not sure that has any bearing but just noting it. Worst case, I just got another stock battery for $29.99.

Also, I read the poster having issues with his and his statement about overclocking. I will guarantee that is more of an issue than the battery. I have switched ROMs a few times and the ones clocked to 528 sucked a ton more battery for me and all my regular usage patterns.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
Wanted to give a quick report on the Mugen 1550. Took the phone off after a 10 hour charge at 8:40 am. It is now 2:30 pm (just under 6 hours) and I am at 46%.

So far my day has consisted of 1 45 minute conference call, 5 additional calls of average length, Touchdown refreshes every 15 minutes with multiple emails (heavy day), Twidroid refreshes every 30 minutes, 1 large file download to reflash to new Cyanogen kernel, 2 Market app downloads, 1 reboot, 3 text messages, Background Data Always On, 3G Always On and finally stream Pandora to headphones for approximately 1 hour.

For me this is a fairly heavy day and I am pleased with the performance. It is at least as good as the stock battery and its not even conditioned yet. After a week or so of charging, it usually gets a bit better. I am thinking with lighter days I will easily get what I need out of this battery. More follow up to come.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
Hmm interesting. I have not used it as muhc as i should so far. Only done two discharges and full recharges for about 12 hours each. So far, the stock battery is still better.. but again.. will have to test some more.

It was just odd that having the phone on for 30 minutes on two occasions, browsing google reader, with the screen at half brightness and on edge network took me down 9 or 10%.. ! but i will blame it on the 524 cpu speed.

I had my stock one on all day yesterday, just checking emails, sms, google reader and on edge network, and it dropped 20% over 10 - 11 hours.. don't think my mugen can do that!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
You may have a bad battery. I am sure it could be possible. Not sure this Mugen is really any better than the stock battery but it for sure isn't that much worse on my end.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KK43:
I got the 1550 mugen and it's much better than the standard one, and without adding any additional bulk or changing the back cover
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] keisuke_z:
Hi!

Actually my battery is the Seidio, not the Mugen. It's still performing very well. I usually play music on it in the car through the miniUSB-3.5mm adapter for the 30 minute drive to work... so 60 minutes of music, then regular push email, mild browsing and texting throughout the day at work. So far, running from around 730am - 9pm, I'll be down to around 40% battery remaining. On a good day, I've only gone down to 70%... so, I think that's pretty good?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Mekishiko:
Not sure if this battery has been posted yet.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350242127206&_trksid=p2759.l1259

My thoughts-

-Fast shipping to the USA: The seller "gpsforless-uk" is in the UK (duh)

-The back plate is Nice: Straight much like the $80 Mugen Battery (The generic batteries with the protruding compartment are HIDEOUS)

-Battery is physically great quality

-The fit on the back is a little snug, I can't slide the back plate up far enough so there is a slight black bar on the left side when using the camera because the back plate isn't engaging fully, It may loosen up over time.

-Battery Life is GREAT, lasts 4-5 days with regular use, 2-3 days with constant use with Wifi etc.

UPDATE: The back plate issue sucks, it is constantly slipping off whenever you grab the phone, it also covers 1/4 the camera lens so pictures are ruined. Sendign this thing back, seller accepts returns, but I gotta waste $ on shipping. It sucks that he's advertising something to fit a device, but it doesn't :/

has anyone tried those out? The price is just so cheap compared to all the other ones. It is only 2100 and requires a fat battery cover =/

anyone ever find the same andida battery for the magic? looks promising.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
By no means scientific but an update report on the Mugen. I have had it almost a month now. I have been using it as my only battery. I am running the MyHero 1.1.3 rom and have been getting over 12 hours of use and pounding the phone. Everything is running on the Hero rom and considerable phone use. I have gotten used to getting a full day out of the battery with heavy use and not really worrying about charging until I go to bed each nite.

Yesterday, I decided to switch back to the stock HTC. Full charge all nite last nite. Today was a normal day and I used the phone a good bit but probably a touch less than I have been. I just checked the battery after at around 4pm and it was down to less than 25%. I would not see this low of a number until 8-9pm normally.

I definitely give a thumbs up to the Mugen. I am going back and keeping the stock as a backup only.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mitac112:
Hi,

I bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Extended-Batt...ries?hash=item563564d620&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

for now:

phone running - 24h

music - 20min

wifi browsing - 2h

battery says - 80%

I'll update later
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] jasrups:
Thanks for your review! I ended up buying the Mugen 1550, I'll post a review once I get the battery and condition it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] XxKOLOHExX:
Is those big humps in the back of the phone noticible because it makes the phone really huge. Is there a way to not make the phone stick out that much?? and what battery would be the smallest and best to fit the original cover of the mytouch??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] yhbae01:
I too am looking for some extended batteries too. I don't mind if it looks ugly - this will be used during trail walking when GPS will be on all the time. With the stock battery, the phone barely lasts 5 hours even with just about everything else turned off and it is even in airplain mode!

There seems to be whole bunch of batteries sold at eBay around 2600mah for relatively cheap price... Do these really last nearly twice as long?

Alternatively, I am also looking at portable chargers and solar pannels...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] XxKOLOHExX:
I saw your post and looked at the picture. Is there a way to get that battery but with a different cover? more form fitting and not a huge chunk sticking out? and is there one for black phones?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] henfeb:
btw,anymore performance updates on the yoobao battery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] dahui9:
any updates people? I've been seriously contemplating the 3600 mugen battery even though it will turn my device into a complete brick of a phone..

I'm curious because I have seen no reviews on the largest battery found yet. I'm looking to go a week without worrying about charging the phone on moderate use.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] thebluecoat:
I decided to purchase the Seidio 1500mAh for my myTouch 3G (Fender Edition). Because of the woodgrained, special look of my phone I'm not interested in anything that is going to make me change the backing on my phone.

It's not much of an increase from 1340mAh (11.19%) increase, I will do a review once I get it.

I just came off from the BlackBerry realm, Seidio is mentioned as the best because of their "high quality japanese cells"

Mugen Power Battery for MAGIC
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] rony05:
Guys, can you write some report how your extended battery performs after a while.

which is better Seidio 1500 or Mugen 1550 ??? Mugen has more power but does it really hold longer?

any thoughts ??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KAwAtA:
I got the seidio and so far, phone is at 52% running for 22 hours. (Minimal use like 30 minutes of browsing, no calls today and several texts, studying for exams ughhh)

Yesterday, I used the phone nonstop, 2 calls, music playing for a longgg time, and used browsing. Phone lasted fine for a day of use. More than what I needed lol. The only time my battery gets effed is when I'm on a long phone call (but which phone doesn't die)

To be honest though, I wouldn't purchase either of those batteries. It's like what, 15% more life? (thats off the top of my head) and I already have more than enough for a day(I still have to recharge everynight or I risk having it die on me). I would recommend just buying another battery off ebay or something cheaper, you could even get like 2 for a lot cheaper. It's not worth buying one of those crazy expensive batteries. If anything, I would get an extended battery (its so ugly though, i'd rather just switch batteries)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wond3r:
It doesnt hurt to just get a cheap 1500mah (or 1350) one and keep it in your wallet (since it IS pretty thin) as a backup, Just swap it in when your other one is about to die.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Valtox:
mugen battery is bull****.

i used it like 6 months w/out any problem, lasted a little bit more than the original one, okay.

now it's completely useless, it lasts like 6 hours.

get the other one or put on a ROM that saves battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] tepic:
Um, I don't think this is a good idea. Do you really want to be putting that much pressure on stuff that could potentially burn your ass?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Wond3r:
I keep my wallet in the front pocket lol.

But , leave the spare battery in the car or something and you can run in and change it whenever if you're on the go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] anwoo:
anyone has a discount code for mugen?

I don't mean the 5% off one. Higher discounts? Or a website that offers good prices?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] escosk8r:
The battery seemed alright coming out of the box, but when rooted and flashed with Cyan's 5.0.8 ROM your battery will last you all day, playing music, downloading apps, using the browser, texting, calling, etc.....

I suggest using his newest stable ROM to get best battery life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] perknite:
I can vouch for the 2000mAh Seidio battery. I can go two days without charging with moderate use. The thing that impressed me was the quality of the battery cover. It is actually not much bigger than the standard cover (it is smaller than the standard extended battery cover... I speak from experience), and the texture is nice. It fits comfortably in my fitness armband designed for the phone. You will lose the use of any holsters or snap on covers, but if you use a case it will (should) fit with no problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] anwoo:
I have had no problems with mugen batteries.

Bought a 3650 Mah one. 10 hours continuous usage (e.g. streaming audio, literally non stop for 10 hours, some net surfing, some ebook reading, phone calls)

Only thing is you have to calibrate your phone.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
Was wondering if anyone knew how to get the new HTC message enhancement plugin to complement the new Tachi dailer on our phones? (touch pro's)

I know that NRGZ28 has it in his newest rom, but I was wondering if it could be ported an made into a cab or something?? Well it would be nice if someone could make this work on our devices using TF3D Manila 2 as it would be a nice extra for all of us....

Here's a screen shot of what I mean..

http://energy.wub.nu/ROMs/Raphael/Sc...nilaEmail2.png
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
I think it needs to be in the ROM, and can't be installed after.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
In case that link above doesn't work for some reason.....try this one,

http://energy.wub.nu/ROMs/Raphael/Screenshots/ManilaEmail2.png
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dharvey4651:
Well then since it can't be installed via cab, we'll need a working package. I tried cooking in Rhodium, Topaz and Tachi and could not get any of them to work with the Rhodium Manila Port and Tachi canvas combination.

If I had to guess, there's probably a provxml somewhere that writes the needed registry not included in the actual packages to make this work.

On another note, I'm willing to bet we're missing one or more packages this depends on to work properly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
Hey Dan thanx for posting.....I think we could all use this nice feature an think it would be nice to see it in our roms on our phones. but is it 100% that it cant be made into a cab an that it has to be cooked in??

you've already tried to incorporate this feature etc?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dharvey4651:
I've tried installing the version from all 3 devices via cab. It doesn't work regardless. I've also tried cooking in all 3 versions and flashing 3 separate times. That didn't work for me either.

I have a feeling that there is a dependency, a small package or multiple packages, that we need in order to get it to work that we're overlooking.

I imagine that if we knew what was needed to make it cook in properly, it could be installed via cab successfully as well. But this is pure speculation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
WOW well thats good to hear that you have been trying to get this working!!!

shyt, I wonder what it is thats not allowing it to work?? Maybe you can ask/talk to NGRZ28 about it since hes got it in his rom?? cause it would be nice to be able to call the person right from the email with the phone icon in it an get to whatever other features from there ya know... when you said you tried all those methods, when you went into your email what happened or what did you see?? or does it show up but just doesnt work?? I know last I heard NRGZ28 said he was having issues with the "To:" part of the email not working etc..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
Hey Thunder Dan lol AKA DHARVEY

I seen it over @ xECK29x new rom and its the new MessageEnhancement 1.0.19142725.01 I believe....
