[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
I'm with Jacob on this one. This is my 3rd Mugen battery (had 1 for the nexus one, and one for my atrix 4g) and it's a great quality battery. I'm on of those people who HATE to contactly be swapping batteries or carrying around spares, or looking around for the nearest place to charge my phone.

This solves that problem for me. Since I've bought this battery, I've never had a time where the phone actually died on me while in use.

Anytime I buy a phone now, the first thing I wait for is the Mugen battery to come out for it.

FYI, I tried Seidio as well but their batteries sucked. Didn't last me past 1 month. When I contacted their support, they wanted ME to pay for returning the battery saying I probably didn't follow the instructions and killed the battery!!

Jacob: I've been trying to find a complete cover for the phone myself. Unfortunately, no luck here. If you find something, let me know! I wish Mugen would make hard cases/silicon covers for their extended battery case phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
Jacob and the others who have this mugen battery how is the thickness of the phone with the new cover? I have small hands and the g2x is perfect for me with standard back cover... also does the mugen battery report the right battery temperature? Because the andida extended battery does not...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Hey Vaddy, I posted the thickness in an earlier post and it came to about 0.8 inches.

I haven't checked the battery temp yet though. What app you using to check the temps and how do you verify whether it's "right"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jwuerz:
Just figured I'd mention this...

http://www.obostore.com/3500mah-extended-battery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p-1327-c-143.html

Also...

It's ten bucks vs 100.... what do you have to lose. I purchased the 1850mah and if it arrives... ha... I will maybe think about grabbing this sucker for fun.

Good for a long trip... maybe not a daily driver.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
....... T_T
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jwuerz:
well... I've had ok luck with Chinese batteries before... G1 handled them fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
And if you test them, you will find they have MUCH lower capacity than stated...... I have a 3500 here that tests at 2400 ..... Sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
well going over that link again, I'm not so sure about that site. I mean how legit can they be if they don't even have a telephone number to contact them if something goes wrong? Only an email to write them is not going to cut it. The battery might be bogus. Until someone tries it out and I read reviews on it, you get what you pay for...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
You don't always get what you pay for either... The high price brands have been busted inflating the numbers as well... Mugen and Sedio in particular....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jwuerz:
That's the idea...

I bought the 1850 mah from them for 7 bucks free ship, so... if it arrives I may get the larger one for overnighters...

I will keep this thread posted...

It may or may not come, although after logging back in to their site, my order has been shipped.... :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Any users of the mugen want to sell me the stock battery cheap? I want it for experimentation, has to be the lg battery, the cheap ass generics don't include the temp sensor.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Dam! This is not the business. This is my second time charging from 63% to 100%, which took about 2 and a half hours. Then I unplugged and within a minute it dropped to 99% which surprised me because it would usually takes about an hour before it dropped, then within the last 2 hours I have been watching it drop to 82%. I am so upset now. I'm thinking in order for this battery to have the advertised capacity you need to charge it for 8-12 hours. Dilwaala, is this the case worth yours?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Hmmm strange.. no that's definitely not the case with me. You may want to contact their support and see if they'll swap it out.. I'm not experiencing that issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Ok, since having this experience yesterday, I thought maybe because I started to recharge at 63%, then unplugged at 80% then plugged back in till 100%, and then unplugged a couple seconds after, I wondered if it messed up the battery calibration, since prior to that I've been going full discharge and then charging for 12 hours.

I read up on battery calibrating and found the app although it required me to root my phone, so after having touted and installed the battery calibration app, I charged to full this morning ran the app and unplugged at 100% at 3:28am this morning, do far so good, charge still at 71% at 7:30pm 16 hours later.

I'm gonna run this to 1% then charge to 100% to get a good calibration.

Dilwaala, what's your charging habits? Do you do a full discharge every time and the how long do you keep out plugged in?

After reading a whole lot on lithium batteries because I owned an electric bike, my understanding was to recharge at about 50%, since it's better to exercise the battery that way and increase the amount of cycles as compared to killing the battery by constantly doing a full discharge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
I generally keep it unplugged until I'm in the 5%-10% range at which point I plug it in overnight (typically 8 hrs).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Won't be getting this. If I wanted a bigger phone I would keep my sensation. :p Shameless anti sensation plug in a battery thread!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JediFonger:
does mugen make a slim-factor high capacity extended battery as well? would like to get this fatass and a slim version for when i wanna go slim =)

back in my HTC Hermes days, i used to have a fatty and it was difficult to lug around. i luv my g2x form factor but hate the battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I WOULD buy an extended battery if they made cases for them... My phone needs to be protected at all times!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbx22:
can anyone confirm if the temperature reads correctly on these batteries?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chisleu:
Interested in this. With that case, it seems that it would be easy to custom make a battery that would more readily use the space in there.

Will this work with any face-in belt holsters?

I would love a larger battery, but I think I'm going to have to pass in order to get a stronger case. I have a casemate tough case for my sensation and it's rocking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brasewel:
Got my muggen a week ago. At first the battery was awesome but after the first charge the battery doesn't hold it's charge like before. It drops from 100% to 99% within 10 mins. I've tried calibrating and reformatting but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Can you please check if the battery has a working temperature sensor or not. I'll really appreciate your help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brasewel:
How do I do that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Have you changed anything in terms of software in that week that might affect battery usage? New apps? Different rom or kernel? Overclocking, undervolting, etc? Different phone settings in general? Or maybe even a change in your actua usage of the phone?

There is so much that can affect battery usage. I'd be hesitant to blame your hardware right away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Install Battery solo widget from market. You can put that widget on your home screen. You can configure it to show battery temp when you click it. Look for battery temp when you are charging it, when you are not using it for long (at night) etc. See if the temperature changes or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brasewel:
Well I formatted my phone after the battery started losing it's charge at a faster rate. I'm using the weapon g2x rom. Should I try switching roms?

Mind you the battery is still much better than the stock one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
It appears that it does indeed. Here are a couple screenshots I just took while mine is charging. I just used the *#*#4636#*#* menu to view the battery info.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Thanks for your effort. But I think it does not have working temperature sensor. During charging the battery temp generally goes high, around 35 C. It also depends on the room temp. Unless you are in a very cold place the battery temp can not be 25C when charging.

Can you check the same when you are out in sunny day?

I have 3 after market battery, one 3500 mah from ebay, one 1980 may Andida, one 2430 mah gold battery from ebay UK. All of them shows around 25C all the time. On the other hand the stock battery shows wide range of temp depending upon the ambient and usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brasewel:
Well after updating to Weapon G2X 2.7 I re-calibrated the battery after charging to 100% and it is still at 100% 2 hours later. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

http://gigaom.com/mobile/acers-a500-is-a-hefty-honeycomb-tablet-on-a-budget/'

Read complete post....great news!!

As I’ve noted in prior Google tablet reviews, Honeycomb isn’t quite ready for prime-time. Acer included version 3.0.1 on the A500 because Google released Honeycomb 3.1 after the tablet launched; just last week at Google I/O. However, Acer representatives tell me that the A500 is expected to see the updated software by the end of May.
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
Great news, if true.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shigster:
I hope Acer heard us and with this comes an unlocked bootloader!! =D
[Acer Iconia A500] pb1866:
thisismynext.com (made up of ex-engadget writers) claims the update is confirmed to be coming in early june for both acer and asus tablets by their respective companies. Either way the update will be soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Good to hear. But wasn't that already known? I seem to recall reading that 3.1 would be rolled out around June. Maybe I'm mistaken.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogmeister:
acer has made it clear there would be an update by june 2011, atleast in all their documentation and websites.. didn't say specifically 3.1...

however one note that people seem to be overlooking is that acer said there will be an update PRIOR to 3.1 coming sooner for our lovely devices. hopefully fixes some of the meh aspects of the tablet
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Ah that sounds about right. Thanks for clarifying.
[Acer Iconia A500] mantrajt:
Nice!!!

Hope it really boost up the user experience!...and of course...they start developing apps...and og course we can now have a tablet section in the market, and of course that I can finally buy apps in the market...and of course....gps gets fixed....and of course Youtube app wont buffer for ever and ever...

COOL NEWS!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] echomatics:
Dis make me happy! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Makes me hopeful but I'll really believe it when I can actually download the update and I hear from others that it isn't bricking their devices :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] gunnyman:
Captivate owner? :D
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
Per engadget, this is confirmed that Acer is planning on releasing tablets with 3.1 next month, which may mean they want to role out the updates sooner, and use us as test subjects?

I am looking forward to see what enhancements we can expect, given that we already have some USB host functionality.
[Acer Iconia A500] cbotd:
3.1 inclusion

I wonder if the 3.1 update will included a longer charging cord...:p
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
I wonder if 3.1 update will also include updates to improve wifi in low signal areas and especially fix the issue where the A500 comes out of sleep mode. I have a second A500 and the wake out of sleep mode is worse. It does it regardless if wifi on or off and what apps are running in the background.

It is now so bad that when it does wake up unprovoked, it does not go back to sleep, so the display stays on all the time, unless I press the power button. Tried restarting the device with same results. Sleep mode is not working correctly on the two A500s I have owned, but this one seems much worse. I have zapped apps and turned all background data- same result, none the less.

Update:

It is going back to Best Buy tomorrow and I will wait to see if Acer fixes at least the sleep mode issue. Two units same problems.I guess I am a glutton for punishment, since I like the A500 enough to get another one when 3.1 is released. Hopefully third will be the charm. I use the USB host function too much to not have it and do not want a netbook sized device for the function.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
What 4'10" asian engineer thought this cord was long enough is beyond me. I've been tempted to cut it and splice in a longer piece.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I think I read someone here did that.

Been mulling it over myself.

I'll be honest though, it only gets charged when I go to bed but still...
[Acer Iconia A500] sgdossey:
funny but sad for me. As if the cord wasn't short enough, Saturday my cat chewed the cord and bit out about a 4" section. I was able to get it back together and extend it. Still pissed though.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Most likely I'll just find a matching voltage and same or higher amperage adapter with the same plug on it. Provided that is possible at least. My dream has been to make a large surge protector sized device with maybe 10-20 small universal plugs on it. Each with a dial or something to set voltage. You can then plug the universal end of a cable with a specific end into it for each device and dial the voltage you need. Not sure if total amperage would be per port of for the whole device, but it'd get rid of all the damn wall warts. Add a fan etc for cooling, and voila. Even battery back the ***** if you wanted. It'd sorta be like the universal laptop chargers, but for smaller loads. Routers, hubs, home NAS etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] huppelkutje:
you should bring that idea to the market and get rich. And from that money you should buy-out acer for the bootloader :-) :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Dang! If plugged in, that could have been a Christmas Vacation moment and cousin Eddy would be asking if he could have your fried A500. Good thing kitty made it :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Oskiee:
Welp.. i was thinking about returning it this morning, worried about not getting updates, and after reading the galaxy tab review on Engadget. Good to hear 3.1 will be coming... now to figure out if my xbox controller will work with it so i can play FF7 full on.
[Acer Iconia A500] sydneyozguy:
Came out here in Australia tonight, OTA, still 3.0.1 but has fixed some of the errors that the device was reporting incorrectly. Don't know of other fixes.

It does remove ROOT, but if they bring out 3.1 as quickly this won't be much of a problem. I am sure someone here is working on an updated GingerFix as we speak!
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
What version is the firmware update?
[General Topics] skinnythunder:
I have been selling and setting up the Samsung Charge at my store. I really like the phone and the speeds are even good on 3G. One issued I noticed is if you download and run an App called Juice Defender to save battery life it will shut of your 3G 4G and leave you on 1X only. I use this app on my X and it gives me about 3 more hours of use a day. Been a great app on X and Droid 2, just not so good on Charge until developer updates app.

[Xperia Arc General] tRippinthehead:
I've tried. I changed this setting to true, compiled framework-res.apk and sent back it to the phone.

Yes, the menu brightness appeared checkbox "Automatically adjust brightness", but it doesn't work. With the option turned on or off the brightness is still adjusted automatically. As before.

So I can conclude: this trick does not work. :(

Lately, I've been having trouble with my network services turning off. It happens whether I'm on a WiFi connection, WiMax, or 3G, and I've not been able to pinpoint a trigger for it (except possibly not using it for a few minutes). I was having the problem using VirusROM Airborne and now with KingsROM Unleashed.

I do have a couple of profiles in Tasker that turn the wireless services off under certain circumstances, but those contexts aren't being triggered, and it isn't showing any of those profiles active.

Anyone have any insight? Is there some setting somewhere that I've missed that is causing this?

Hi all,

Planning on getting a Xoom, but trying to do my usual research isn't going particularly well. I've been searching through all the threads looking for the usual mods, but am completely confused with what works for the UK / Euro Xooms?

I have found a guide on rooting the UK version, but do the OC kernels work? Are they the same as the US versions?

Sorry if this has been covered a million times, i'm just not finding a great deal of info other than "I bricked my Xoom by flashing X,Y or Z!

Thanks In Advance,

Dex
[Xoom General] jase33:
yes. tiamat kernel 1.4.x, clockwork 3.0.2.8 are compatible with euro xoom. learn more HERE.
[Xoom General] dexta211:
So the kernel has nothing to do with the 3g side of things?

Sorry for being numb, dealt with quite a few android devices, but there seems to be a lot of Xoom paperweights being made and don't want to make the same mistake.

Many thanks!
[Xoom General] jase33:
kernel should be seperate from the os. however, if not developed properly could affect 3g.

hey, good question. ask everything you need before you move forward on something your not sure of.
[Xoom General] dexta211:
Will do mate, Many thanks!
[Xoom General] dhicks19:
Hi , did you manage to flash using the tiamat kernel, I have a uk xoom 3g, I would like to use tiamat as I want to overclock . So confused how to do this. Tried flashing a ocboot.img from an overclock guide and my xoom got stuck at the dual core screen, I have recovered from this by flashing a euro boot
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I'm not sure where the guys are at these days cause IV been away a while but Tiamat has been having problems maintaining 3G connections.

As for mods, there is little that will work for us at the moment because we are stuck 3.0. Once we get 3.1 we'll start to see more.
[Xoom General] dhicks19:
so there is no way to OC a uk 3g xoom? I have seen many posts saying that they have done it, just cant find how
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
You can install Tiamat to do it but its been a bit sketchy with 3G. I have tried to get a stock kernel compiled so I can start modifying it for those of us outside the US but I don't have the kernel skills and never got it to boot.
[Xoom General] dhicks19:
ah right ok, does 3g not work at all then? Could you point me in the right direction on how to install tiamat if its not too much trouble please.

Does it have to be done with an sd card & does that recovery thing have to be flashed?

Sorry , searched for so long on this and no one seems to reply.

Thanks much appreciated
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
It works, but usually drops and wont reconnect until after a reboot. If you look in the dev section the old tiamat kernel thread will explain. I'm on phone so can't get thread links etc.
[Xoom General] mickgeorge:
The thread for installing tiamat is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978013 and yes, install is through cwm. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 will show you how to install cwm.

fwiw, I've got a 3g euro xoom running the 3.1 us build with the euro telephony files pushed and tiamat 1.44 and I've no issues with 3g, other than the signal strength is incorrectly reported. Hth

Thanks for reply mate, I have since installed tiamat 1.4.1 on my xoom version 3.0.1. so far running ok and oc to 1.5ghz. Is there any clear advantage updating to 3.1 and using tiamac 1.4.4
