could it be that the foil is just improving reception. We know that the phone uses more battery power the lower the signal strength. So if signaI strength is improved less power is used thus as a result of this the battery lasts longer. This would account for the fact that for some people the effect is more marked than others(they live with different signal strengths). Could test by swiching the phone to flight mode to see if it makes a difference then. and perhaps try it with normal tin foil? |

THIS WORKS!!!!!
I put by p800 into a black PYRAMID. It lasts for days n days until I look into the pyramid and find it's dead. It's NEVER dead before I look into the pyramid. I'm getting unlimited battery life this way! I'm going to be RICH!!!
PS: Does anyone know if Schrodinger has already patented this? |

There's definitely no reception improvement when using this pad. |

@ everyone
Refer to the start of this thread for some pseudo-scientific explanations by myself and others as to how this product works.
The manufacturers make no claim about improving signal strength, just that improves batter life my generating 'cavity radiation'. Many people say that it is just a placebo effect, however, after carrying out some tests of my own I have managed to make some approximate measurements, which indicate similar results to the ones found in that review that someone posted a link to.
As has been gone over before, energy cannot be created from nothing (with certain possible exceptions) so perhaps the battery extender uses heat produced by the battery itself. Such heat might very well cause certain electrons in the battery extender to move to a more excited state and result in photonic releases, which in turn could conceivabley interact with ions in the battery, and in essence give what would have been lost heat energy, back to the battery. Therefore it increases the efficiency of the battery, basically it could be recycling lost heat energy.

I've got one but am unsure where to put it. Only useful answers please !!! The instructions say to put it under the battery not touching any terminals or circuits and near to where the aerial is ? Where is the aerial ? I have put it under the battery in the phone and the battery is certainly lasting longer from just 20hrs to 27-30. There is a slight improvement in the signal strength. When I had nil signal I now get one bar, one bar becomes 2 etc. |

I liked the inclusion of 'serious answers only' please after your initial statement 
It sounds like you have it in the right place.

Dear All
I have managed to create a batterey extender fo rmy p800. I noticed a 30% increase in pghne batterey life after i wraped it in very thin aluminium and tin composite sheet metal. You can buy theese from various places. just ask for aluminium tin foil. Wrap the batterey nice and tightly with out spliting the sheet metal. This then gives you more play time with the handset.
Please let me know if i have upset or offended you in any way as i will then take appropriate action and make an apoplogy.

*cough* *cough* ah that's better ...
Now that I've cleared my throat, its nice to finally be insulted by Vermania. Everyone else had had their turn and I was left out, so thanks

Being one half of the now infamous "noob brothers" I take this opportunity to thank Vermin for the free press coverage.

The thing does come from a credible company - their screen protector is FAB compared to the Brando one.
I'm based in Singapore, I went to the shop. The lady showed me the difference between the brando protector and the martin Fields one. She pointed to this pane of glass, where I saw this patch of kind of like frosted glass stuck to it. I was about to ask uh, which one is that, and where's the other one to compare it with, when she pointed to a CLEAR SPACE beneath the frosted one and said "this is the martin fields one" 
Lol, not much of a shock, but was quite surprised, I was pretty sure there wasn't anything there |

I've noticed that many of the people who say it doesn't work haven't actually tried the product, while many of those who say it works have tried it.
It's quite weird, hearing someone who's never tried chocolate say that it tastes bad, while putting down those who have tried chocolate and say that it's sweet.
I'll leave the rest of you to decide what kind of people we're dealing with here.
