[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
The eBay seller that the previous poster referred to builds custom carrying cases that they make to fit your Streak (and many other phones) with any battery you want to use. These are carry cases, not what I call covers, such as the Otterbox 'cases'. In other words the phone slides in and you close a tab over it.

Since you are so sure that they don't exist I won't bother taking the time giving you a link, I'll just let you remain sure of yourself in your complete and encyclopedic knowledge. The one that I purchased and currently use is a figment of my imagination.

Anyone else who wishes to go forth in search of these mythical carrying cases can search eBay for "dell streak custom case". Just remember, they do not exist... No ma'am!

Sheeesh, you just ruined my theory that there are no girls on XDA!
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I am a girl !!! Been one forever !! And a full blown Gadget-A-Holic !! The seller who made my CUSTOM CASE on eBay is EASECASE. http://stores.ebay.com/easecase

This was probably a year ago when I got my battery, I wrote and asked if they had any that would fit with the extended battery. They told me to measure the thickness .. I did .. they said "no problem." and now I have a purple leather case that fits my streak with extended battery....
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I just ordered one of these batteries. I paid Mugen over $100 for their 4800, and to me it was nothing more than an annoyance. I would rather have a couple of extra batteries in my gadget bag than have to constantly take my battery out and reset ..

I know Dell didn't care about the battery issue with their update. Dell actually doesn't ever care about anything .. not just the Streak, same for their computers and they pulled their MP3 player just like they did the Streak.

I had NO PROBLEM AT ALL with my Mugen running 1.3 .. Mugen said they contacted Dell about the problem and that was it .. it was never fixed. I would think that Mugen would find another way of making that battery to work correctly.

The back cover that comes with the Mugen is plastic and the tabs are always breaking off. Once you lose more than one you can't turn the phone on. Forgot to look for issues with this battery .. If nothing else, it would be a good stand-by battery ... only 35 US dollars.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
As I said before, I just ordered the extended battery with stand. Paid $33 .. just found another for $23, thought I would pass it on. Wonder if I should buy a second at this price.

[Streak 5 Accessories] vanemburghj:
Fards, two questions are you using pro version and what are the settings you used, everything I try still states 1500 and continues to show 1% forever until battery dies.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Wow! I think I'm gonna get a second one. I seem to have lost my original battery and cover....

:-(
[Streak 5 Accessories] Dude_Virus:
hi i wud like to know if tht battery monitor app showed u the proper percentage of the battery....as same issues for my mugen 4800 mah battery....the battery metet showed 1% reading after 20 hrs and after tht its now 21 hrs the phone is on and working...the only issue is tht u never know when the battery wud die...

yeah the cases r an issue...i had a case which i got with dell engraved on it...but now as this aint fitting in tht nemore i am currently using the softcase from my PSP ...until i find one...
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
I have not heard ofan app, or a way, to correctly display the battery % with a larger than stock battery, and I think I tried every suggestion so far. I just stopped worrying about it...
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Mugen has an app in the market
[Streak 5 Accessories] Dude_Virus:
the app is just for calibration but doesnt affect the battery reporting....this is the 3 rd time i took my battery out after it reached 1 % and it shows me 50% left been using the battery since 42 hrs now and pretty heavy usage...4800 mah battery worth the buy ....onlyyyy if the reporting gets solved
[Streak 5 Accessories] SHildebrandt:
Slaydog..... Are you still happy with the battery? How does it affect the pocketability of the Streak? I'm thinking about getting a higher capacity battery myself. Any significant downside to that particular battery (other than meter reading incorrectly)? Thanks
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Battery still works great! Best $30 ever. Unfortunately lost my original battery and cover, so now use extended battery exclusively. Only downside is the thickness, but it still fits fine in my pocket. Of course I don't wear tight pants...

With the Otterbox case on, the whole thing is very sturdy feeling, and I kind of like it.

Lasts a good couple of days with no attention paid to power conservation at all...

There was a more recent post with what looked like the same battery even cheaper. I keep thinking that with the streak EOL'd in the US, were gonna start seeing some discounts on accessories...
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I have 2 of those batteries and by the time they arrived from wherever .. I decided to sell my Streak .. I put it on eBay but I would rather not pay their fees. It is the AWS version. Moderator, if you would move this where it belongs that would be fine with me -- couldn't find a place for selling stuff here. $700 with the 2 batteries.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
You didn't look very hard. XDA Marketplace
[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
Definitely looks good. Missed the Ideos S7 stands already :)

Anything that can do > 24 hours should be good for me. Will be my next buy. Did you noticed that the battery cover had slightly different black color? Seems that the extended battery ones is a bit bluish black..

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Btw looks like Delcell could already squeeze up 2800mAh at a size of Bold's battery. Maybe it can be modified to match Streak's pin's positions or so?

[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
My 2400mAh Cameron Sino monitored by Battery Monitor Widget on 1st fully empty recharge. Interesting that it actually had 3019mAh capacity! Looks like a very good one!

It kepts on charging with 1-4mA until it reaches its top on 4212mAh.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Vuche:
Yes, it's what I thought by using this same extended battery: they state it's 2400 mAh but it seems by using it that it's about twice as strong as an original one. And I guess from the size that they are simply made out of two 1500 mAh cells (it should be the reason for the wrong calibration).

There musn't be many different makers of those cells and the technology used must be standard (or at least "chinese made" standard).

Thanks for the power information anyway, it's allways interesting to have real numbers.
[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
No worry :)

Btw I've been running the batteries with another couple of discharge and recharge. Somehow the battery stucks on 3765mV before erratically dropped off to 3100mV, with battery percentage on 1% during that stage. Looks like that's the cause for the kernel confusion as it can't use its voltage to accurately meters the remaining charge. The behaviour doesn't seem to be changing on subsequent cycles. Looks like we'll just have to give up on the battery metering issue :(

UPDATE: I'm just thinking. How could batteries retain the voltage so flat during usage, almost like artificially? Is there something in the kernel that is hardcoded for not showing certain level of voltage? Might be a clue..
[Streak 5 Accessories] borijess:
This may be a little off topic, but does the Streak 7 charging cable work on the Streak 5?
[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
Just check the spec. If it's a PDMI connector then *I think* it should work :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Philip:
Quick question: with the extended battery/stand fitted, is there room for the charging cable to fit?

I tend to keep my phone on charge when it's on my desk in work (not so much that I need the "charge", but to keep the screen permanently on), but would be interested in the stand functionality if it would work with the charge cable in place.

(Also - yes, the Streak 5 and 7 use the same PDMI cable).
[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
No. But with this extended battery you can stop doing so!
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
I just tried it, and yes the stand works with the charger plugged in. :-)

Changes the angle of the screen a bit, but no biggie...
[Streak 5 Accessories] watch_mania:
Pic please.

Does your case come off frequently? Not that it doesn't sit tight, but when i casually toss it on the bed or something, the back cover comes off causing the phone to shutdown.
[Streak 5 Accessories] todd69:
Got mine from amazon uk, arrived in two days.

I really love it and seems to just go on and on but not having an accurate battery meter really puts a downer on it.

Pics of extended battery with stand and Otterbox- plugged in!

Here are all of the extra pictures I have been meaning to post for a while, all at once! :D

[Streak 5 Accessories] drsuicide:
Looks awesome dude!

I think I'm gonna get the Cameron Sino 1540Mah one.

Coz I can't find leather case that fit with 2400 battery.

Btw how long you charge that bad ass battery from 0%-full charge?
[Streak 5 Accessories] sanyokt4j:
Hey guys I'd just gotten a battery similar to the one you got but I'm left wondering your battery cover has a soft touch feel to it?
[Streak 5 Accessories] jbhorse:
I had used this battery before and the battery cover often slid off very easy inside my Jean pocket causing my Dell to go off without powering down. I think this is why my battery only lasted more than 2 months. For this reason alone, I wouldn't use it again, though the battery life and the stand(for watching movie without holding with your hands) are very good :rolleyes:

Trident will be coming out with an Aegis case for the G2X 1st week of June. That's according to the email I got from their customer service (cs@tridentcase.com).

I have the Red Aegis case for the myTouch 4G as well as the Commuter case. But I like the Aegis more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] XPerties:
I bought the Trident and OTTERBOX for my vibrant and it interfered with the sliding motiong on the right side. It wrapped around the edge way to much. I then ordered Seidio and loved it. So when my wife grabbed the g2x I told her to wait for the Seidio to be released. I'll never buy an otterbox again.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
looks like it fell on faceo down on the screen tho... i don't think any case protects the screen. If I'm wrong then hey.. it is what it is.. but looking at that pattern it kinda looks like it fell face down or something.. NO case could protect from that (given that they don't cover the screen).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:

Thats bull****
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] whoamanwtf:
Otter box is overrated, there are other cases with the same level of protection out there, for instance the otterbox commuter.

http://www.speckproducts.com/candyshell-lg-g2x-case-batwing-black.html

This case provides the same protection and I think looks a bit better, one again preference is everything, but before wasting time on a petition might as well see what else is out there!

maybe we can edit one of the lib files inside the apk? much like was done on the Adobe Flash Player lib file to enable hulu playback on our phones. I don't know how to do this, but an idea nonetheless.

[Atrix 4G General] chudy:
im new to the android thing but would changing the fingerprint in build.prop file be enough to trick the app into thinking the phone is supported?

havent tried it myself yet..

Does anyone have a netflix account that I can use to try to see if I can access it from my phone? I will not change any account information.
[Atrix 4G General] chudy:
same here...it just craps out

I also tried "T-Mobile G2" and that failed as well

any other strings we can try for other devices are supported at the moment?

1. HTC Incredible with Android 2.2

2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3

3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2

4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2

5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3

(I don't think any of the above have similar enough hw to the tegra board we have)

I did notice there is 5 .so files device{1-5}.so when you unzip the .apk file. I tried mucking with .js files to force the app into accepting a device string instead of polling the device but I'm failing at creating a workable apk file.

I used apktool and auto-sign but when I install my modified apk (even if it's just repacked) it fails to run...i'll leave that for another day; i've got much to learn in the android world....

Or

ro.product.model=Nexus S

My SGS is very unreliable on email, and I have both WiFi and 3G active.

I have 1 x POP3 account and 1 x Exchange account.

Often when I try to open a mail ... I get a total freeze of phone, even power off will not work.

After a while (a long while) there is an error ‘buzz’ and I get the following error window

Application email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly [Force close]

Or

Activity email (in process email) is not responding .. [Force close or quit]

I have carried out h/w reset, cache wipe and removed SD card ... still the same.

It’s running standard ver 2.2

Frequently - on boot up SGS will sound an error ‘buzz’ at end of sequence.

Is there an alternative email app I could consider the standard app seems very flaky, or is this what I should expect with Android (first Android phone)

Hi everybody. I am running Phiremod 6.2. What I really want is to be able to drop a standard definition video on the sd card, such as a divx or xvid file on the and have it play back smoothly on the nook. It seems that hardware video decryption doesn't work and that is the reason we are stuck using software decryption. What is the best video player? Even with the best video player, do you still need to re-encode the videos to lower resolution for proper playback? What format do you re-encode video to? Do we expect hardware video decryption to be accomplished by the amazing xda hackers?

Thanks!
