I guess I won't need the extended battery

[Bluesman2008]

I got the extended battery for my S4 before I even got the phone. I assumed that, with all that horsepower under the hood, I'd need the extra juice. Wrong. At the end of the day with the typical amount of useage, I've still got 20%-30% power left. I'm pleased as hell. The only problem I'm having is setting up my email account. I got gmail working instantly but my personal email ain't happening. On the phone with tech support as we speak.

How much thicker does the extended battery make the phone? I'm thinking about picking one up myself.

Try K9 Mail. Many find it superior to the built in Email app.

+1 for K-9 and Kaiten is even better.

Who is your email provider? My email simply worked.

It's about double the thickness the battery and bigger back. It's the 5200 mAh. For someone who's a power user, it probably doubles the capacity of the phone.

You betcha. Real cheap. PM me *g*. Got no use for it and it's still brand new. Never attached to the phone.

Finally figured it out. I put in the pop server name and left out one character...having a senior moment here. Mail works great now.

K9 mail will send spam email to ALL your email contacts if and when you uninstall it!

Seriously? Guess one should uninstall it using ADB or ROM Toolbox.

Wondering where you got that information from, the Internet.

The stock battery life is pretty damn impressive.

That coupled with the quick charge technology built into the chipset and a bigger battery isn't necessary.

Especially if you turn off the data radios (and phone radio if you want) the phone charges crazy fast.

What is your source for this? Seems unlikely. What is the SPAM - is it encouraging them to use K9? KY?

I still do not see why people go buy those ugly extended battery cases and extended batteries, I mean how difficult is it to open the back of the phone and insert a fresh 2600 mah battery into their phone, and keep the phone the size it was meant to be. A spare battery with external battery charger go for like $15, a spare battery in your pocket takes hardly if any space, and how often do you need that extra juice anyways, yes there can be days where you might need it, but not to the extend as to make your phone look like a small whale:icon_eek: on a daily basis. I know myself if I am going to be out without a charging port for a long time, then I will just carry a spare battery in my pocket, for the days that it is not necessary I leave the battery at home, even though I could lug it along "you know those extra .5 ounces might weigh me down":biggrin:.
