I didn't see a thread for this specific battery. I cut the case also, and it falls off every time i put it in my pocket drives me crazy lol. Something has to give a 2in thick phone doesn't do it for me. Plus that battery is heavy. So lets see how this cheap battery does
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dajogejr:
There's a thread somewhere about an independent test from "battery man" or something of the like.

He's stated that these batteries are often rated higher than whey they actually are, like 1700 actually being a 14 something. I'll see if I can find it. It was an interesting read.

Here you go.

It's not a 1700 mAh battery. It's a battery with a 1700 mAh sticker on it. With all the complaints about battery life, and the rumors that the TB was delayed while they worked to improve it, HTC would have gone with a higher capacity battery if one were available in a suitable size.

I got a couple of "1500 mAh" batteries and a charger from Hong Kong for $9 from ebay. They seem to work about the same as the OEM, enough to get me through a day (no 4G here, yet).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Hemorrdroid:
Some others had purchased these. If you run Battery Monitor Widget, it tells you how many mAh your battery is, it reports the correct 2750 for my extended, but on these 1700's it reported 1350.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] derfasaurus:
I just need to come out and say it. A battery is a battery, you can't get a huge amount more of mah out of a battery that is the same size. There is no amazing battery that can hold 30% more energy and be the same size. You can increase capacity by taking out circuits, thinning the wall, and optimizing space in the battery but you can't make it tons higher. These batteries promoting themselves and so much more charge in the same package are a scam.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lippstuh:
I've been posting on threads on these "1700mAh" batteries because I dislike the company that makes these ads. Its false advertising.

The story is that the seller already had "1500mAh" batteries on Amazon for the MyTouch 4G. Then when the TB came out he listed them on Amazon for the TB advertising them as 1500mAh. A week later he raised the price from $35ish to $50ish for 2 batteries and changed the title to state that its a 1700mAh battery.

For a short period of time people purchased this "1700mAh" battery for the TB. When they received it the sticker still stated 1500mAh. Then later people started getting the batteries with the stickers saying "1700mAh"

Summary: False advertising. Do not buy. Exactly the same as the $3-5 eBay batteries, so SAVE YOUR MONEY
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
BELIEVE ME I HAVE MY DOUBTS .ill test it and see what it does. it popped up on ebeay and ill try it out. gEeEeez. negative negative negative lol
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dbisch:
No one is being negative. They're just trying to let you know that you're getting scammed. Even if it was actually 1700 mah you'd get what, a extra hour out of it?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] cjmcmillion:
i have this battery and i got to say ain't worth it unless you want an extra battery just like the one that comes with the tbolt...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dirtyfingers:
That sounds about right, mine is on its way back to the company!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] crazed_z06:
There's a setting where you can change the capacity. My stock battery read 1350 also.

With that said, I bought these 1700 mah batteries and they are worse than stock. I guess it's a decent price for two extra batteries and a charger, but they suck. They dont extend anything.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SUB-dawg:
i have tried this battery, it is the same, if not worse then the OEM battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joshw0000:
I bought two of these 1700 mah batteries with a charger a few days ago. I only paid about $26 after shipping so we'll see how well they do. I'm not expecting miracles, I just need one to leave at the office and one for home. If my battery dies, I can still use my phone.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] sunflash72:
you would probably be better off just flashing a kernel/rom that isn't all bloated and is more energy efficient. Ever since flashing the perfect storm rom my battery life was better. Flashed CM7 when the prealpha came out and its even better.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joshw0000:
I'm on the Twisted Sense rom with the bamf_4.3b kernel. I have no complaints with the rom or kernel. My battery drain comes from me never putting the phone down.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] smashtheguitar:
Never seem to get anyone posting results in these threads. I'd imagine there won't be much of a difference, but still would be nice to see what people are getting.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joshw0000:
I'm still waiting on mine to come in.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joshw0000:
My extended batteries came in yesterday. I charged them and carried one today. My phone had drained by about 2:00 pm so I popped in one of my new ones. It's 8:30 and I'm at 69%. I wont say that I'm getting fantastic battery life, but it's fair. I did use navigation and I browsed the web a bit. After around 5 pm, I was on wifi so I'm sure that helped. For $26, I don't think I made a bad deal.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] aerojad:
I'm a little on the fence about the normal sized extended batteries, but the larger ones came out? Had me sold on my Incredible. It was nice not needing to charge for a couple of days.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joshw0000:
So far no significant battery life gains. But it is nice having fully charged batteries on hand instead of being tied to a charger all day.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Breezer23:
What about the 1600 MAh battery? Fits in the same space and Seidio is a reputable company...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] WillTheGreat:
There are a few post that the 1600 Seidio battery is no different if not worst than stock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
I bought a seidio from amazon and wasn't able to use GPS with the battery in my phone (if would find absolutely no sats.) and that was reversed when I put the stock battery back in. I even got another one from Amazon to double check it wasn't the battery and it wasn't.

I'm gonna return those and thinking about the htcexpress deal, but can someone who got one of those confirm that gps works with those batteries in the phone?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tats_06:
Here are some pics for you... I got one of those "1700" batteries and its even worse than stock!!!! I take it off charger and within minutes its at like 90%. That's all bs. Those people found a way to make perfect fitting stickers.... Here are some of the guts...

I want to do more taking apart... But yeah, its got some foam thing at top and I really doubt its 177 because the performance sucks.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] AstarteSV:
I really hope you're a pair of safety glasses and gloves while you pull that battery apart.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
Where did you get this battery from?

Is this an ebay variety or htcexpress?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
yup you guys were right battery blows... and it seems like it gets alot hotter when overclocked..
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
That's a 1050 mAh cell.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BennyJr:
Did u bump charge that 1700 battery?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tats_06:
I didn't take it apart any further. Just a bit leery by the way it looks. So the sticker was it. My stock works better than that one so I just tossed it. Too bad for wasted $$.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
Which battery are you referring to?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Arte Suave:
Mugen batteries posted on twitter that they now have a true 1700mah battery for the Tbolt. Who's going to try it first?

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...y-for-verizon-htc-thunderbolt-4g-adr6400.html

It looks like its backordered already tough
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tats_06:
Are their batteries good?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Breezer23:
Never heard of them. I vote someone who has money tests it out for us, lol.

All I know is they make a HUGE 3600MAh battery for the Droid X. Expensive.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
They have some of the worst batteries in the past. Check out batteryboss dot org.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] nolmt60243:
No real difference between the 1700 and the 1400. Waste of money. Just root and Rom the phone and that will make the most difference.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] RandomlyWatts:
Non OEM batteries are usually a pretty bad investment.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] g00s3y:
^ This. There is a reason VZW charges so much for the extended battery, and why you can get "better" ones for $15 on ebay. OEM works like it is supposed to.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Daswolven:
Have the 2750 on mine, not overly bulky at all. Have a Seido Active case on pre-order for it. I get 17-20 hours from it between charges, and I burn a ton of power. I'm not used to seeing more than 6-8 hours from a phone. Pretty nice.

Plus, the case I ordered should be hella sturdy. If I run into any issue that I don't have an app for, I can just throw my phone at it.

i'ved just builded a new rom,and when i try to call someone and tap one the dial pad i have to hold the button for about 2-3sec for this to light! is there a reg tweak? :mad:
[Windows Mobile] ADB100:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Touch\Filter]

"MinimumTapTime"=dword:00000000

I include this in my ROMs to get around this. I struggled to find this initially - getting the right search terms can be difficult...

thanks man :D
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Hey.. I have relatives in Comanesti! I used to visit when I was little :P
[Windows Mobile] dany547:
lol...nice :D...and BTW the fix is not working...i saved the string in notepad ++ as a APP.reg placed in a EXT folder,and its not working
[Windows Mobile] ADB100:
I am not sure what kitchen you are using but I use OSKitchen and I have an EXT package with my own custom registry settings in an app.reg file. Due to the way the kichens compile these extra registry settings it is possible another package is overwriting them (the old trick with prefixing the name of your EXT with 'zzz' etc).

Check with a registry editor after your ROM is installed and see what it is set to.

Does any one have the most recent stock rom? Im trying to odin back to unroot/stock rom selling phone to a friend and he doesnt want it rooted and he wants the most recent stuff on it. So im attempting to go back to stock and have most recent software. Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Accessories] crxforya:
Im sure you will hear this, but you might want to ask this in Q/A section!
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
Yeah wrong section bro... but u should google stock JFD for ODIN and u can find them then just upgrade using mini KIES
[Vibrant Accessories] lol Qaeda:
Bingo. Get the Samsung Vibrant AIO tool and flash yourself on back to whatever stock ROM it comes with, then just use Kies Mini to get to the most recent version.

I just upgraded the Vibrant I bought yesterday from 2.1 --> the most recent Froyo build. Simple process.

Good luck!
[Vibrant Accessories] Longcat14:
Wrong section, but I'll help.

It's simple, just use ODIN to go back to stock JFD, then upgrade through Kies Mini, and it'll put the phone into the newest release of froyo that Samsung has pushed out.

Samsung Galaxy S2 with 1.2 ghz :D (unlike german release) for 489 Euro's unlock, without subscription: Dutch manual and everything: (no NFC chip, according to samsungmobilenl twitter, no surprise though. )

http://www.algebeld.nl/mobiel-inter...on&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=diversen

Just orded it, they ship international so maybe its cheaper for some of you ;)

Stitch!
[Galaxy S II General] D4rK.F0rcE:
any word about release date and where can I order without a contract?
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
They expect to ship it on the 6th of may.

The €489 (about $726) is without a contract.

link to the phone without a contract
[Galaxy S II General] Death666Angel:
??? Everything I read about the processor on reputable sites says 1.2GHz as well.

But that is a sweet deal for you guys! :D

Edit: And yeah, it's cheaper for Germans even with the 25€ shipping (cheapest I've seen the SGSII go for here is 530€). But for me it's not worth the hassle with support, warranty etc. :-) Much rather pay the 30€ more, get it from amazon.de and don't have to worry about anything else. I'm lazy like that ^^.
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
They shipped it today, I will have it delivered in 2-3 days according to their email. Exciting:) Might be one of the first in holland to have this phone!
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
WTF??? I orded also at algebeld, but i didn't get any email :(

Order status:

Verwachte verzenddatum: 06-05-2011

:rolleyes:

btw: your location says Paris.......
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
Currently on graduation internship in Paris, maar ben gewoon nederlands ;)

Will be back in Utrecht next weekend, so hopefully it will be waiting for me there.

Also ordered a usb port, screen protector and 32gb sd card. my 8 gb micro sd due for replacement. With a bit of luck everything will be there once im on holland. Will be one of the first in Paris for sure. Launch here is even later I heard.
[Galaxy S II General] DruNKfuX:
What's your address? So i can play with it during the weekend...:D

You'll get it back as soon as possible, i promise... :p

yeah I know, have 2 8 gb already, had one for my nokia n95, got a free one with my omnia (crappiest phone ever btw) and you can get a free one again now.. Ordered a kingston class 6 32gb for 28 euros on ebay, finally able to bring most of my music collection :D
[Galaxy S II General] kersh:
Not to spain I see.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
Wow they shipped today already?? When did you order if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] yousif666:
I see alot of people ordering online but what about the warranty? dont you be afraid that the phone might arrive and have technical problem? as i know phones dont have international warranty so all who are ordering online are taking there chances? and if the phone arrived with technical problem you take it to the local samsung dealer or take it back to the website you ordered from?
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
What do you mean? If you buy the phone through a webshop, the shop should provide the service of giving you a warranty. Most of the time it's just a regular manufacturer's warranty.

If you buy it from abroad and you need to get it repaired/replaced, you should ship it back to them.
[Galaxy S II General] yousif666:
Ok now i get it. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
No problem. Obviously the latter is much more of a hassle since you need to ship it all the way back, though some manufacturers might accept replacements/repairs on products which are bought abroad. Usually small stuff. Dunno if this is also the case with cellphones, so better be safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
One week ago.

One year samsung warranty is standard. you can go to any samsung shop to repair your phone with original bill/samsung warranty thingy in the box, did the same with my old omnia and that wasnt any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
Ok thanks. I ordered on the 19th of april but didn't get any shipping confirmation. The status still says may 6th.

Gonna contact them right now.
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
in order status, it says 2-5 days for supply and then max 5 days for delivery. So you might have been right. Ill contact them monday to see hoe de vork in de steel zit ;)
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Did you order at algebeld?

I did, and i think El Salvador also.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
Yes I ordered from Algebeld too.

Anyway that's weird. So you got a shipping notification by email already, but the order status says that the phone hasn't been shipped?

My order status is still the same:

They told me that they hope to get the phone in stock during next week and if they do, they'll ship the same day.
[Galaxy S II General] Pryda:
Am I blind or they can't ship to France? :(
[Galaxy S II General] =dave=:
i also wonder why there is no way of shipping to austria..
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Algebeld only delivers to Belgium and Germany (outside Holland).
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
For the dutch readers:

Samsung Galaxy S II mogelijk deze week al in de winkels?

http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/mobilerumours/14439
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Here it's the same. Expected to ship on the 6th of may.

I can hardly imagine it's already shipped. Must be an error or something. Ordered mine the 21st of April.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
Yeah, must have been an error me thinks.

As for the free 8 GB card. You'll need to wait till you actually receive the phone to get the invoice. No invoice by email so you can't order one yet.
[Galaxy S II General] drijf004:
Did they already officially confirm that the Dutch GS2 had the exynoss 1,2ghz. samsung.nl still says 'dual core' but they did remove the NFC, so it seems they have updated it.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
I think it's 99% certain that it has exynos, SA+ and

no

NFC.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Are you shure???

Because why would it be called a 'pre-registratie' (pre registration) if you cannot subscripe for the 8GB card???

I already have registered myself. And I also have the receipt I got from ordering the SGS2 in my e-mail, so I printed it and send it to Samsung.

This is what Samsung says in their conditions:

"Actie: na aankoop of bestelling van een Samsung Galaxy S II kan de Deelnemer, door op de website www.samsung.com/nl/promotion het deelnameformulier in te vullen en te bevestigen, deelnemen aan de Actie." (Promotion: after bying or ordering of a Samsung Galaxy S2 the competitor can take a part of the promotion, by going to the website www.samsung.com/nl/promotions and fill in and awknowledge the registrationform.)
[Galaxy S II General] drijf004:
Just recieved this from samsung.nl:

Geachte SamsungNL,

Kunt u al bevestigen of de Nederlandse versie van de Galaxy S II jullie eigen exynos 1,2 ghz dual core Soc zal bevatten of een andere Soc? Dan kan ik overgaan tot het bestellen.

[Galaxy S II General] drijf004:
Too bad, i think i know why. Just recieved this email from algebeld.nl:

Hallo,

Wij krijgen de Nederlandse versie. Samsung weet nog niet of ze deze week gaan leveren omdat ze niet alles kunnen leveren, waarschijnlijk schuiven ze het daarom door, zodat alles kan worden geleverd.

Ik hoop u hiermee voldoende te hebben geïnformeerd,

Met vriendelijke groet,

TRANSLATION: Samsung doesnt know for sure if they can deliver this week. Probably because of upcoming shortages. They prefer to send 1 larger batch.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Hmmm if it was up to me, I would ship it in 2 batches :P
[Galaxy S II General] d3nnisd3nnnis:
what doe the 32gb model cost?
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Only 16gb atm.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
I've sent you a pm! I'm a bit confused as to what I need to send, because I didn't get a "real" receipt yet with a summary of my order. I only got some regular standard confirmation emails which I don't think I can use as a receipt because the SGS2 isn't specifically mentioned.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
This is what i got from samsung after registeren to that page:

I emailed algebeld and got a mail back:

Ik hoop u hiermee voldoende te hebben geïnformeerd,

Hope i have informed some Dutchies here.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
I also got that email from Samsung, but did you already send them the copies of both that email and the receipt?

The problem is that I don't have a receipt (at least, I think I can't use any of my confirmation emails as a receipt) and that I will have to wait till the phone gets delivered.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
You have to wait!
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Since its the 9100 model, it will be Exynos. Tegra has another number 9103 I believe. See GSMArena

And it should be SAMOLED plus.. no worries :)

Ps: I also have 13-5 as estimated time of arival.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Yes I've allready send it to Samsung including a print of the PDF contract file I received when ordering the phone.

We'll see if I hear anything about it. Otherwise, I'll resend it when I have the SGS2.

On a dutch forum (GoT) I read that Algebeld.nl is still not shure if the SGS2 will be shipped this week or next week.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
I've sent an email to their customer support to check if it's sufficient to send the contract and a confirmation email from Algebeld. We'll see. I'm just a little worried because the offer lasts till may 31. Now they say that the delivery date is delayed to week 19, nobody is 100% sure (not shure, that's a brand :p) when it will be delivered. There's not much of a buffer left, only two weeks or so.

Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see.

where to buy SGS2 in Groningen

Guys,I want to buy SGS2 from Holland (my friend is going there next week). Can anyone help me recommend which shop to look for? Also,I have some question about the SGS2 sold in Holland :

1.Is it SIM unlocked? Meaning can I use non-Holland SIM card elsewhere outside Holland?

2.Is it Made in China or Made in Korea?

3.What accessories are included with the unit?

4.How much does it cost now?

5.We have a Pink Spot problem when taking picture in indoor but with sunlight from the side,all of SGS2 sold in Indonesia or those which are Made in China. Do you guys have that problem too with the camera?

Thanks beforehand.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
