Just to clarify, it's not always OEM size. It could be a tiny bit larger, but still fits in the OEM slot. That has been the case with all my blackberry batteries. Why my trusty OEM batteries fit comfortably, the mugens still fit well, but are a little bit tighter. So that DOES justify an increase in mAh.

I have also tried non-mugen / seidio and OEM batteries, and those are ALWAYS crap! Capacity usually drops after 2 weeks or even less sometimes. They're horrible. But mugen has always made great batteries (at least in my case) and I would highly recommend them to anyone :) Seidio ... meh... Not so much! Because they're REALLY over priced haha.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SBS_:
You quoted one sentence and didn't bother to look at the link I posted?

Let me paste it here then (first mAh rating is what they claim, 2nd is actual mAh rating):

TP2 Mugen	1800mAh	1414mAh 79%

TP2 Mugen, exchanged	1800mAh	1256mAh 70%

Hero, Mugen, oversized 3200mAh	2396mAh 75%

And to add some OEM batteries:

TP2 OEM standard issue	1500mAh	1414mAh 94%

Nexus One, OEM	1400mAh	1357mAh 97%

TP2 OEM, new	2150mAh	2150mAh 100%

What tests have you done that proves Mugen's claims are true? Oh really, you didn't do any except anecdotal ones about your own use?

If people want to spend money on batteries with supposed higher capacity, good for them. But us rational people at least won't have to :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] send2toonie:
I had a bad experience with a mugen battery. Bought it, charged it, used it for one time and it crapped out on the second charge. Dead.

Called and emailed for support and they wanted me to send it back, plus tracking, I wasn't going to pay more.

Basically I threw it out. My loss. But I would never by a battery from them again. It looks like cheap stuff of ebay anyways.

Maybe you'll have better luck though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aussiebum:
True, I was feeling a bit lazy yesterday :rolleyes:

Interesting link. Yes, my last Mugen experience was anecdotal (Xperia X1), but if my extended battery had really only lasted ~70% of claimed capacity I would've noticed (plus there would be more people complaining in the forums).

Guess they need to tighten their QC then.

Latest infos:

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your email!

Yes, we will have XL and SL size for this battery very soon.

It will be around 1700mAh for SL and about 3000+ mah for XL.

We will announce this on our social networks and on our site!

:D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] viper_79:
was looking forward to a plausible 1800mAh standard size battery from mugen... 1700mAh is barely any jump and in all seriousness would have the same or even lesser battery life than the original one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
Wow, 1700 from 1650? That's nothing. That's literally minutes (10 maybe?) of the screen being on! I would totally skip on that one.

Samsung also makes its own extended battery case, which might also interest me... We'll see :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
Hello guys,

First i'd like to thank the forum for all the support and knowledge i've gained reading tons of posts

Well i upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 like 3 months ago, running a custom rom which works fine but it suddenly crashes or some apps hung till i feel like throwing the phone to a wall ( has not happend yet ) so im checking everything about gingerbread and to be honest im feeling tempted to try it out.

here's my main concern, battery life, for the moment my phone manages to survive around 35hours with 3g on most part of the day ( juice defender helped me alot), but this random crashing is starting to drive me mad.

so now, which rom would you recommend for what i've seen darky and juwe's are like the top ones.

so tell me guys, which one would you suggest

this question might sound stupid, but i need opinions to be honest.

Regards

p.d. sorry if i screwed up at writting, ain't my first language :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {Angel}:
You should just try them and see if any is to your taste. I myself stick to stock roms. Right now the latest 2.2.1 which is rock solid, no complaints and excellent battery life. The gingerbread roms still have some problems and people are reporting battery drain on them although I used a few before and had no such problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy320:
No

I have been using 2.3 for some time, but I don't think it is worth upgrading. Nothing new in Android and it hasn't been very stable for me. GPS seems to be worse too, getting a fix takes ages.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benoitb85:
My experience:

-- battery life far behind (Using Voodoo kernel on Ginger or CM7 VS Hardcore kernel on Froyo)

+ GPS a bit better

+ Better speed (very fluid), but it was already good in Froyo with Hardcore's kernel

+ Web browser a bit better thanks to the improved speed I guess

+ Gtalk with audio and video is possible

As I don't need battery life so much since I'm not on vacation at the moment, I prefer to use Gingerbread daily. I hope that thanks to future releases from Samsung and Hardcore's kernel, or improvements to CM7 we will reach the battery life we had with Froyo someday.

If I was in need of battery life, I would stick with Froyo for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
To be completely honest, I use custom ROM's anyways, and there isn't a whole lot I notice different in 2.3 over 2.2. I have noticed improved GPS connectivity, and slightly better battery life.

If you are having problems with 2.2, I would suggest making an upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whaave:
IMO what you get in 2.3 vs. 2.2 is the Android OS bug. And that's pretty much the only "important" change.

I'm considering downgrading, as a phone with 6 hour battery is useless...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omad0:
Not sure on some of the custom rom's but was using 2.3.3 XXJVO stock for a couple days and had no trouble, battery life was much the same as what I had to stock 2.2

Trying to get gingerreal working to give that a crack.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
I'm on JVO now but I still think JPY is better.

For me, I don't see any significant improvement on Gingerbread over Froyo 2.2.1

I only see some annoying faults in JVO that sometimes I makes me wanna return to JPY.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devonblue4u:
Iv'e used stock JVB and had 36 hours average on both of the phones we have. Then I moved to Tweaky's JVH based rom and saw an increase in speed, but battery life plummeted to 12 hours without fixes, 24 max with fixes. Went to MIUI 4 for a day and found it looked like a copy of iOS and dropped it like it's hot after 8 hours of playing with it. Now one is on Darky's 10.1 and battery life is improved to 24 hours of heavy use. We skied Whistler last weekend, so music is running, gps on the Whistler tracking app, Bluetooth for the motorcycle intercoms strapped to the helmets for 6 hours at 0 Celsius. And I have yet to apply the fixes recommended in Darky's thread. Wifi is always on as well.

Granted batt life is not nearly as long as stock JVB, but decent enough for what we do.

I've also attached screens of the last 14 hours of usage with WiFi and Bluetooth running. Again without the recommended fixes, and it's still at 84%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
I see more possible cons than pros ill just install a stock 2.3 for the moment if it doesn't work for me ill get back to froyo

Thanks for the feedback everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
Give it a go ....why not?

battery life is excellent "IN MY EXPERIENCE" (don't believe everything you read)...give yourself a fighting chance though...suggest

backup

factory reset with internal USB format

flash

factory reset again

then judge for yourself.

And if you do fancy going custom...yes I can thoroughly recommend Juwe 4.3.1 too
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
well as we speak im flashing the phone, sadly i bricked it

3 times now lol, thankfully i got my jig in here so the 2.2 stock rom i downloaded from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=stock+rom) doesn't work or im doing something wrong

sucks getting stuck at sbl.bin....

guess ill first get an stable rom then i can try with 2.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulkyhulk:
to be fair my personal opinion is that the latest froyo firmware for me JSD is laggy and this is even with hardcores speedmod which makes things worser :/ so for now im on tweakys AOSP edition which is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRReat except for battery life and oh yeah the browser on gingerbread is way better than froyo with the exception its slower but smoother :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapdatass:
Like some others, I've gone from JPY 2.2.1 to JVO 2.3.3

Honestly, if you're on a 2.2.1 rom, you won't gain too much by upgrading to Gingerbread. It's not like Eclair=>Froyo.

If you're on 2.2 still, then go for it - however, 2.2.1 is pretty much solid with fewer bugs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
well after an evening full of frustration and amusement

im on 2.3.3, ill test it out for couple weeks and will share my thoughts about it

as a side note, Mexican sgs are so freaking hard to flash to GB srsly

thanks everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rofa1:
I'd go along with that - though the bug has only appeared once in the last two weeks. Re-booting sorted it. Apart from that I see no other changes.

P.S. My phone has just re-booted itself. Been reported elsewhere I seem to recall!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfanax:
I have tried Juwe's Smart edition, simply honey and Darky 10.1 but all of them were slow compared to Darky 9.5 with hardcore's kernel. 2.3.3 wasnt that smooth and it was buggy.

Wtf is that browser? They tried to make it like iphone but stupid Samsung forget that in iphone if u touch the status bar the page goes all the way up. However in 2.3.3 when u read tons of pages, you have to scroll patiently to the top. Its so annoying...

Besides I couldn't see any significant battery saving

So I returned back to Darky 9.5 and very happy with it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGSChris:
only one reason for me why I use Gb JVH: finally I have a free professional email app! The tab-like mail app from sgsii. works great! all else works just like froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
well im now running 2.3.3 JVH with Darky's 10.1, so far the performance is pretty good

and the battery life is amazing

10 hours up and still 83% left, im pretty happy with the outcome
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benoitb85:
I have to tell, I'm now using the Speedmod kernel and the battery life is much better, on par with Froyo.

So no reason not to upgrade to Gingerbread now :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
Well from my limited knowledge, the carrier takes the update and adds their own stuff to the update. The unbranded updates from samsung come out pretty fast.

If it's your carrier you're waiting on, maybe theyre just taking their time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jetpack101:
While I did get my phone from the carrier it's not branded. I have put other carrier sims in it and it worked fine. Think they forgot to brand my on.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
It does not have a frame limiter option, but it does have the following options -

Auto Frameskip - Enable/Disable

Frameskip - 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 <------ This is maybe the problem? There is no "0" option

Switch to NTCS mode - Enable/Disable

System Clock - 100%/83%/75% <----- Only 3 options here. I believe that a 90% option would probably fix the speed issue, but you are unable to set this. I tried 83% which slows games down quite nicely, but it's just a bit too slow and sound goes out of synch and choppy.

Synch Threshold - 100%/83%/75%/50% <---- Selecting any of these doesn't seem to make any difference.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
Ok i got the speed running perfect. Maybe this will help some other people searching some time in the future.

It was the one option i didnt try - Cyclone M68k emulation needs to be enabled for correct emulation speed.

The one problem with this is that save and load states do not work with this mode.

Shame. It was nice to load to the title screen, save state and have no load times next time you ran the emulator.

Although the dev should be ashamed of himself for not including a fast load option ;)
