Really sorry I did some searching but I kinda want a legit answer from someone who bought a 3500 mAh extended battery from amazon, one that was mentioned in a post for 12 bucks from amazon. My battery just came in today, and I can't wait to see my results. Here is what I did so far...

1) clear my batt stats in recovery

2) put the battery in(it was at 50%)

3) flashed savaged zen 1.0.1 cfs havs with sbc...

Now what I want to know is how should I go about conditioning the battery? I know I need to leave it charging after the led goes green, but will my battery % show 100% when its done or do I charge it even after it says 100%?

Also is there an app thay shows if the battery is really 3500 mah?

If anyone has any other tips or any useful apps to help or an explanation as to how they got their battery to full potential that would be cool, thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
To condition it.. let it die completely then charge it while its off then wipe stats and then after a couple more weeks of regular use and charging do the conditioning again

[EVO 4G Accessories] brennod10:
I actually decided not to use the sbc kernel for now... does any one think sbc is really better for extended batteries
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
I mean.. like do you really need it? If you can last 2 days why do you need to take a risk and go 4 more hours..

[EVO 4G Accessories] BIGWORM:
Yes. Using an SBC will net you the best charge because it goes beyond the normal charging habits, much like how the extended battery goes beyond the normal maH.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
Its not very similar in a practical way

[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
not a good comparison at all. that being said, I have tested every evo battery on the market and the best I've found is the yoobao 3000mah.

I would of fully charged the battery before clearing the battery stats, and then let it drain completely before charging again. and of course its not really 3500, probably more like 2600. no app will tell you that however.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pflaumen:
just be sure to charge the battery for about 2+ hours after it says 100%. I have a seidio 3500mah and use battery left widget set to 3500mah. its pretty darn accurate and lasts a full day of heavy use
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
like you dont, like. that being said, I use sbc. by the way I hate that sig. nothing personal as many are using it. just find double annoying that it mentions chuck norris and cyangoen. makes me assume (probably unfairly) that the poster is a douche.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hercules rockefeller:
I've been using the siedio 3500 mAh battery without SBC for about 3 months now, and it works fine for me. you can either leave it on the charger for a couple of hours after the LED turns gree, or get a widget that shows you the battery voltage, such as batt stat or battery snap (probably my favorite becuase it also gives you some neat graphs and logging options, if you really want to geek out on this stuff). When you get close to 4.2v, you're done. or you can just leave it on the charger as long as you want and you'll stay between 90 - 100 % anyway.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
Lol wow things got personal real quickly!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
That's pretty special? I am not a douche but i can assume that you are cause of how you're talking to me. And this sig is mine i have never seen anyone else have it.. i don't care whether you like it or not... stfu

[EVO 4G Accessories] JustRuin:
Yeah that probably wasn't phrased in the best possible way, but I would agree that it's not a funny sig.

As for SBC, I'd say if your battery lasts as long as you need it to during the day, then you don't need it. I don't see why anyone would care that their battery can last for 3 days or something on a single charge to begin with (unless you actually intend to tax the battery the whole time, in which case...good luck lol). It's MOSTLY a preference thing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
Its not suppose to be funny.. i just really like cyanogenmod. Its a damn sig. Get over it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Whiskey Tango:
Hi,

I've been looking through GS4G threads and haven't seen any posts on the GS4G threads about this. I'm pretty disappointed with this phone, but I have a lot of confidence that with the mods that can come out it'll be a good investment. I originally was informed that the phone can be rooted and rommed to make it its own wifi without needing to pay for internet access through the carriers and that's why I bought it. (I think it was by using Busybox? I don't remember) - but has anyone done this and is it really possible to do this? So many sales points made by the TM guys have proven to be wrong, I am now questioning this point also.

My phone was unlocked by a local service for $30 after 3 minutes work. I now have Simple Mobile and I'm happier than I was with TM. It does still seem that everything has to be routed through Goog, nearly every function must pass through the cloud and that's why so much data use is sucked up so quickly and my experience so far is that the Android platform is either surprisingly unstable or so far advanced that a simple mind such my own cannot quite grasp it's nuances...yet.

But I digress - can this phone be made into it's own internet AP without having to pay TM, ATT, etc?

All helpful comments welcomed and acknowleged.

Cheers,

I search a wiget hotspot on market n work very good for wifi tether
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lphillips80:
built in wifi

The Mobile AP works without being charged.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wmikemoon:
Hmm...

So are you saying that you want to be able to use data service on your phone without paying for the data service...or are you saying that you have data service and want to tether or use your phone as a hotspot to use your data plan on another device without paying the AP fee?

If it's the former...I really don't think that that is possible...because everyone would be doing it. The data part of my family plan is something like 60 bucks...I'd love to be saving that every month. The fact is, none of the carriers would allow that. The data is tracked and I can't imagine it would be possible to sneak it under their radars without getting a nasty letter.

If it's the latter, yes. Root your phone (In most cases) and download a free tethering or wifi app (I use EasyTether, but there are several out there). Follow instructions. Easy Peasy. Tethering and/or Mobile AP without paying the $15 or whatever fee. But (And someone correct me if I'm wrong here) I do not think that you can use tethering or mobile AP without having a paid for data service from a carrier. Sorry. :)

There are also people saying that if you use the built in tethering/mobile AP ability on your device without having paid for the service through T-mo, that as long as use it lightly, T-mo will ignore it. I have heard accounts of people using it too much and getting an email from T-mo basically saying "Hey quit that...pay for it, you greedy bastard" (Paraphrased).

Also...What exactly is your disappointment with this device? If you let us know exactly what your issues with it are...there is a chance that we can give you advice or a workaround to get the most of your device...that's what we're for. At very least we can point you to a thread that already exists to help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tri0xinn:
Pretty simple... the mobile ap included within the phone works fine.... use it as an AP as much as you like.. tmobile's fine with it cuz they know as soon as you hit the 5gb thresh your gonna be throttled down. Doesn't matter if you root and download 3rd party AP software cuz as soon as you hit the 5gb your all done.

In my opinion I think this is totally fine for TMOBile to do.. although I wish they were clear about the 5gb cap when you sign the 2year agreement. I had Sprint 4g before this and Att before that and this is the first internet connection I would drop my home internet for.... of course if it had true unlimited bandwidth. At work and at home I get a steady 7+mbps down and 1.5mpbs up with a 65 to 100 ping... when I'm using it at home it hardly seems noticeably slower or less snappy than my 20mbps comcast connection.

I think ultimately if they are going to throttle they should raise the limitation to about 15gb or so and be very upfront to the customer when they sign... That would take away about 99 percent of the complaints they get and give us some headroom.. also would still guarantee no one's gonna be running their website or downloading 100's of gigs of torrents over a cell tower..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wmikemoon:
All carriers throttle...no carriers have "true" unlimited data. T-Mo is pretty upfront about the throttling. I mean...it's there...in black in white. I knew about it when I signed up for my service. There's no reason that anyone doing any form of research before just jumping into a two-year contract would not be able to find that information as well.

Also...the reason they throttle is to keep users from using it as their home internet. That's not what it is intended for and if everyone was doing that...it would prolly have cataclysmic effects on the network (Again...correct me if I'm wrong here).

I have a hard time believing that your mobile connection is faster than your home cable internet...But I can't prove my suspicion...so that aside, the 5gb limit is way more than enough if you are using your mobile internet for just browsing and downloading apps or streaming media. I would consider myself I pretty hard-core mobile internet user and I have never hit 5gb in a month...that being said...I'm also not trying to use it as my home internet. I don't use it to download torrents or stream entire movies or play online games. Besides...T-mo only throttles your bandwidth after hitting 5gb...at least they don't shut you down like other carriers.

The fact is...there is no Unlimited mobile data...but as far as it goes...T-Mo has the best plan out there. Great coverage, 4g, 5gb limit and only then they throttle you back a bit.

Sigh...I should be working in the mobile technology business...instead I'm working a mind-numbing production job for **** pay. Not applicable to the thread...but I really felt like pining. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
A lot of what you say is true but, I was not told about the throttling when I got my UNLIMITED DATA plan. I came from a company that had truly UNLIMITED DATA. I was with them since 2006 and never once had a letter about my data use nor was I EVER throttled. I had excellent Download speeds and could easily use streaming media. That company was Alltel. It is the BEST cell phone service I have ever had. Unfortunately, they sold out in my area first to Verizon in Maricopa county then AT&T in Pinal county Arizona. This is a great loss. With TMO I get 2G Edge speed at best unless I drive 40 miles into town. On my laptop it takes 3 to 5 minutes to load my gmail account. Where I am at I can get satellite or cell service only for internet. I am a truck driver so it doesn’t pay to get satellite because I am not home enough to use it. At best I get 16 t0 20KB/SEC down. I reached my 5GB limit this weekend and am being throttled for the next week or so. I talked to customer service and explained my situation to a supervisor and her comment was “It looks like we are throttling all the time and now throttling you even more. When I talk to the rep at the TMO store a week or so ago about the throttling he failed to tell me about he admitted that TMO would slow my service from 4G down to 2G. What TMO has done to me was slow me down to 1G. Right now it takes 3 to 4 minutes’ to download 1MB. I had faster download speeds with NETZERO dialup for $8.00 a month back in the 90’s. I was miss-lead by TMO both in their advertising and thru representation. I can’t say I blame my rep so much because I’m sure they are trained to only give you enough information to make the sale, which means they are trained to withhold the TRUTH or at least not disclose the meaning on “UNLIMITED” unless you pry it out of them. Truthfully, I like the people at my TMO store. They are very helpful. It’s just they are bound by the corporate Greed that makes their paycheck. I will likely not be with TMO much longer. I like my phone but the service sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fosormic:
It works just fine.

Don't abuse it, use it only when needed and you will be fine. Otherwise, they will "recommend" you to add the whatever-is-called-tethering add on.

In fact, everyone: Don't abuse it and they will probably leave it as it is... Until the att takeover takes place (ouch)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
With that attitude you will conform to whatever these corporations want to shove down our throats. Every day corporations are charging us more and more and giving us less and less. Then they buy up the few companies left that are giving us value for our money. Soon we will back to one choice like back in the Ma Bell days and you will be standing right up front saluting the Beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wmikemoon:
Like I said...All carriers throttle. I'm glad that a company that is not around anymore didn't throttle...but that was also before mobile data really took off. I'm pretty sure what happened is people started using mobile data for their home internet and started clogging the tubes (or you know...airwaves or whatever) and the major carriers did what they had to do...which means throttling. If they didn't throttle...people would be using mobile data for their home use and making it so people, like myself who pay for cable internet but like to browse or whatever on the go, would suffer...which isn't fair considering me and people like me are using (and paying for) the mobile data for what it is intended for.

In your last post you berated a fellow poster for saying to use the tethering but not to abuse it. You basically said that his attitude was that of a conformer to major corporations...This boggles my mind. Really and truly...T-mo wants you to pay for the tethering and if you use it without paying for it...you are rebelling to corporate standards...so your comment makes no sense.

The fact that T-mo takes the stance that they do on the tethering without paying for tethering thing earns my respect. They're basically saying "You know what...we ****ed up and made it so you can use the tethering option without paying for it...just don't be a **** and we'll look the other way."

Also, If you root and or mod your phone in any way...and something happens and you have to send your phone in to T-mo...they tend to look the other way. Can Verizon or Att say that? Hell no...Att is trying to make it so their phones CAN'T be rooted or modded in anyway. Ask an Atrix user.

Sounds like to me you are just whining because T-mo didn't tell you about the throttling. Again, I stand by my earlier statement...Do your research before jumping into a Two-Year contract. It's there...everything is...you just have to READ it. That goes for ANYTHING that you sign a contract for. When you buy a new car...do you just skip everything the contract says and sign it? Of course not. You read that **** because you don't wanna be screwed. Companies exist to make money off of you...plain and simple...so if they make you sign a contract...you best do your research to know exactly what they are offering...and if you don't....I have absolutely no sympathy for you what-so-ever. It's you with the egg on your face...just because you didn't take the time to read.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tri0xinn:
I agree with tmobile on Throttling to a degree.. and I understand the reasoning BUT.. I still believe their advertising and plans are a bit misleading... For example I went to a tmobile store here in Eugene.. talked about plans and speeds with a tmo rep and was told nothing about the limits. Also I bought my galaxy 4g at Radio Shack and also was told nothing about it.. I looked on TMO's website and found in their agreement this>>>>>>> "Your data session, plan, or service may be slowed, suspended, terminated, or restricted if you use your service in a way that interferes with or impacts our network or ability to provide quality service to other users"

That is pretty vague when in reality there is a solid 5gb max.. whether it's on your 1st day of service or 2nd to last day...

I knew about the limits before only because of these message forums... but even after reading the fine print i wouldn't have known for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wmikemoon:
Protective Measures: To provide a good experience for the majority of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. If your total usage exceeds 5GB (amount is subject to change without notice; please check T-Mobile’s T&Cs on www.T-Mobile.com for updates) during a billing cycle, we may reduce your data speed for the remainder of that billing cycle. If you use your Data Plan in a manner that could interfere with other customers’ service, affect our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or degrade service quality for other customers, we may suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, or switch you to a more appropriate Data Plan.

Copied from the Terms and Conditions which has a link on literally every single page on T-Mo's website and is clearly marked in the section titled "Data Plans and Other Features".

Alternatively, on Verizon's site...You can only get to the details about their data package after adding a voice plan and phone to your cart...at which point it gives a vague description of their throttling rules that do not mention exact amounts. It just says that it can throttle your speed whenever it feels like.

So again...not seeing a problem here...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
When I asked the TMO rep “This data plan has UNLIMITED DATA”? He said YES. He made no mention of the 5GB “LIMIT”. Therefore he misrepresented the product. These companies falsely advertise their products with misleading information to make it look bigger than life in an attempt to lock us in to a two year contract. You are saying that because they hide the gory details somewhere in their web pages that makes it OK. You speculate that the reason Alltel went out of business is because of over usage by their customers clogging their lines. I don’t know where you did your research but I never had any issues with service failure due to over usage or any other issues for that matter. You said “All carriers throttle”. I was never throttled ONCE by Alltel. I guess that may be true now, since the only decent service provider has been acquired by their Big Brother Corporations. If they were still in business I would still be there. Would it not be a novel Idea to invest in their network so they can handle the added throughput, and provide a robust network that gives us the service they promised us in their advertising? I don’t have any problem with paying for a product or service I want. I do have a problem with companies that lie or mislead about their product. TMO puts it out there in LARGE WORDS “UNLIMITED DATA” then hides the gory details in other places. Your attitude is that’s just fine with you. If more people would not take the BULL-onie that these Corporations are shoving down our throats and demand HONISTY in advertising we would be getting a better value for our money. You are dam right when you say I am rebelling to corporate standards. Corporations do not have our best interests in mind. They are only concerned about profit. If they can do away with competition, there is more profit for the higher-ups. Then you lose your job and the public looses their choice and gets less value. You choose to justify what these corporations are doing to our nation and put on blindfolds to the truth.

I gladly respect and give fosormic his right to his opinion. I just think that attitude promotes the passive nature that has allowed this country to go down the tubes and be taken over by greedy corporate money barons. People in this country have to have the Balls to stand up and be heard if this nation is to survive.

If you want to get worked up about something look into "'net neutrality" -- that's a cause worth fighting.

Yes, it is "easy" to hit a 5 GB cap. Yes, it is very clearly called out in the T&C of the phone -- You had 14 days in most states (30 days in California) to read that and get a full refund if you didn't agree.

The T-Mobile data service is arguably "unlimited" -- once you hit the cap, you are free to continue.

As speeds increase and more people have a phone capable of sustained and reliable rates over 1 Mbps, then you will see consumer pressure for higher caps. Until then, welcome to the bleeding edge...
