I checked and seems like there is no thread for the new Tag Modular 45.
So creating this one as a placeholder, i think it might be time for the tag to get its own section on XDA, but that's not up to me
The new Tag Heuer modular 45 came out officially, and already up for sale.
I personally purchased the black ceramic with Gold Lugs, and am super excited to get it.
Since it is made in Switzerland, it takes 28 days to assemble and deliver. So while i am still waiting for mine, wondering if someone else purchased.
Some information:
The TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 Launch in Switzerland
I just picked-up mine yesterday, Blue bezel, blue rubber strap in titanium. I was searching for a Forum section, and your post is the only one I came accross.

Finally got mine after waiting almost 3 weeks.
Ordered the black Ceramic with Gold Lugs.
Love the design, just wish the battery was bigger.
Android Wear 2.0 is pretty awesome as well.

I agree about the batt life, the owners experience Forum on Calibre11 has been helpful, check that for tips, I am getting the advertised 24-25 hours with WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, all on, seems like doing the batt calibration helps.

Cool, yeah, it would be great to get more than 24-25 hours, but really though, who in this day and age isn't going to have a battery pack or other power supply to hook up to, and can't just live with charging over night. I'm not a TAG homer by any means, there are undoubtedly some kinks with this watch, but from the looks of it, TAG seems pretty invested in the product line, and will likely keep up with the support. We'll see....

Poor or not, if those china quality batteries light up like a phosphor fire or blow up like the laptops used to in your pocket or face, you gonna wish you didn't get them. I am guessing if it isn't a htc or sprint battery, it would very well void your warranty if something battery related goes wrong. You can't cover your ass very easy like ruu before having a tech look at it.
More power to ya though. I hope nothing bad happens because of the battery.

Someones mad they don't have 8 dollars to buy a chinese battery
Honestly I have the $8 battery and it dint blow up on me. Now if it blew up on you than go ahead and inform us. But, if you didn't experience that and you are assuming it might because its cheap keep your comment to yourself. An official HTC or Sprint battery has a small chance of exploding too. Shoot you have a chance of slipping and dieing in your shower every morning you take a shower. Well assuming you bathe every morning.

Does this mean I have less of a chance of blowup because my 3500 battery cost $18?
I feel screwed. I paid $9.95. Six months ago. It's still going well.
First thing I do is check the cut off voltage on the battery.
If that works ( and they all have so far), then all's good.
BTW my son and a friend also use it ( and SBC), with no side affects.
Good luck with yours.

Your still screwed since you didn't pay $80 for a Seido. You should invest in a portable fire extinguisher. I bought one for $20 on eBay. Still waiting it to ship from Africa.

That's great you found a deal on an extended capacity battery. I'm just saying my opinion that I hope nothing bad happens because of the eight dollar battery from china to you or your phone.
I work with and for Chinese and even they steer away from electronics made in china. What I read from that was even they don't trust something made in the country they are from.
What SBC kernel are you guys using with this battery? I have sense so please recommend me a kernel. Thanks.
btw, don't expect 2 or 3 days of use out of the 3500, I'm a super duper heavy user and I can still drain mine in a day, I think 6 hrs its least I've gotten

I have to say I agree. I am an extremely heavy user too and I can get through a day. But a charge is still needed @ the end of the day.

Hmm. Picked up one to test it out
It probably isn't truly 1700mAh and probably won't be as good as OEM battery but we'll see
This will be cool if it works out but the price point is setting me off in the wrong direction. A future thanks for your effort is being placed now! Thanks
I assume that this battery fits under the stock cover?
I'm curious to see what the test results will be.

From what I've inferred from the info provided on facebook, I *believe* that the seller is actually the maufacturer. From the looks of it, it appears this is a startup company. The fact that his shop is in california makes a lot of sense (I just saw a news special on how there are manufacturing workshops people can rent time out in out there in order for entrepreneurs to get their business off the ground before investing in their own manufacturing equipment; kind of like how there are glass blowing centers open to the public). This could be one of those deals. If the OP (who purchased one) says the battery works well, I might just pick one up just to support the guy. We'll see.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
The warranty is only good for complete failure. It is not guaranteed to be better than OEM although I really hope it is. Still waiting to see. Got cheap "1500" mAh batteries on Ebay that last only half as long as OEM.
Do you BONSAI?
The battery will be in by tmrw. I will calibrate and let it die down, then recharge fully and see how it lasts... I will be on Bonsai 4.1.1 200/1120. Although this rom hasn't given me the best battery life it will be a good indicator if the battery helps or not.

Very nice. I would encourage you, though, to not let it die down (these li-ions don't like that). Id say bump charge it to full with phone off about 10 times (charge till blue light, unplug, plug, repeast 10 times) then boot in to cwm and reset batt stats then see how it lasts from there.

Looking forward to the results as well. Thanks!
Pending on your results I think I'm going to get the two batteries plus charger package the guy offers. Even if its only slightly better or equal to OEM, having that second battery won't hurt, specially for only 20 bucks for it all

I haven't felt the need to complain about my battery life since buying a battery extender for my Nexus S. I've never understood why people find it more necessary to have their phone paper thin but have to have this battery life anxiety. I don't get it. Guys do yourself a favour, get a battery extender.
Although I charge every day, I don't remember ever getting below 60 percent. Ya It's a little worse with 4.04 but still no problem at all with a battery extender. No worrying about what is running in background like bluetooth or whatever. Just using the phone the way I want. Stream musing when I want, watch tv when I have to kill some time etc.
They cost around $10 off ebay, no regrets, not much size difference unless you're into skin tight jeans....not that there's anything wrong with that
Just search for "nexus s extended battery" and you'll find plenty.
Ps. most are from china so be prepared to wait a month or more for it to come in.
yeah there are some posts in the accessories sub forum, I got the mugen 3900 mah and it is bliss

Well I fell asleep last night while the phone was on the charger. When I picked up my phone this morning it was FREAKIN HOT (I mean hotter then it has ever gotten before) and the battery was drained pretty low.
Turned out that my AC adapter went defective overnight and fortunately I had a different AC handy to replace and troubleshoot.
Crazy thing is that everybody else I know charges their phone overnight too. IDK maybe it's just me *sigh* lol...

A quick question to you guys:
On average how much screen on like do you manage on your phone with around medium brightness?
I'm getting just over 3 hours, but I'm wondering if I should be getting more. My battery is 1 year old already, so it may have already lost its full capacity.
I'm also swaying between the Anker 1900mah and Official 2000mah. Ideally i'd like to keep the same battery cover.
Any thoughts?

My case came in yesterday. I figured id start a review thread for it here. Ill update this as i use it more.
First impressions:
This thing is huge. (think vhs tape thick)
Phone fits well and seems secure
Case charged fast
While huge, its not to bad to hold.
I charged my phone to 100% and put the case on today. I screenshoted the time and date so i could remember exactly. I work 12-14 hour shifts and stream music all day to a bluetooth speaker. Ill update after work what my battery is . I normally get a full day off a regular charge so im hoping for 3+ days on this.
More pics
Even more
I would have purchased this case instead of the generic 6000m one I got had I seen your thread before. The case in your pictures seems less "aggressive" than it is in the website
It is very large, but its growing on me more and more. I dont see it as a daily driver, but camping, in my get home bag ect, its perfect
Why didn't they make use of that space next to the camera ? They could've reduced the overall size of the case a little.
I honestly dont know.
Just hit 20% so im using the case to charge now. Notification menus says cable charging so its not fast charging., But still going fast.
No offense, but that looks horrible. It's blocky, square and huge.
Why not shipping to EU/UK? I want to buy it.

Because it would be visible on camera, especially with the ultra wide lens
He was referring to on the inside it didnt use the area beside the camera
Im on day 3 now. The case charge is empty. I stream music all day and. Run gps about 2 hours a day as well. While it is huge, it definitely has its place. Overall its a win for zerolemon.
How much SOT you've had so far ?
I average about 8-9 hours of sot a day. Mostly because some of my streaming is youtube at work too. This wont be my daily driver, but vacations, road trips and bad storm warnings it will definitely be nearby!
