I’m not one for extended batteries as they usually limit your case options, but some people need them as smartphone battery life isn’t the greatest as we know. The new OnTrion (I’ve never heard of this company) T989 is an extended battery but it includes a back cover as well. Price is $34.99 and for [...]

I love my Samsung Captivate but the battery life is horrible or at least it was and still isn’t exactly great. Before I updated it to Gingerbread I’d have to charge it everyday, but it’s better now, so whatever they did with the update made the battery last longer. if I really didn’t use the [...]

Back in my WinMo days I was a battery bloodhound, constantly checking for apps and tweaks that stole more juice than they were supposed to. With my Tilt2 Extended Battery, along with logging tools and my snooping efforts, I squeezed as many hours as you possibly could out of my phone, without compromising the user [...]
