My batteries and charger arrived from export prive yesterday in the morning. Really well packaged. Buying more from them in the future.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Frula:
I personally use momax products,i had 3 batteries for my old galaxy s.They are rated 1300mah for old galaxy s,and they lasted same as original despite lower rating.

Now i bought momax battery for galaxy s 2 and charger that can charge phone and something else via usb cable like mp3 player or whatever.

Battery is rated 1450mah but lasts same as original maybe even better.

I ordered from their e-shop and arrived very quickly from hong kong.

Batteries are not fake or anything,like other crap on ebay.

You can give it a try.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
This is usually due to electrical noise interference from a poor quality charger affecting the touch screen. I wouldn't be happy charging my phone from that charger personally.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] whmcal:
Amazon.co.uk 3rd party 1800mah batteries are (imho) useless. Without warning, they conk out at 30% each time you use them. Poorly made. Definitely don't do what they say on the tin. You actually get LESS than what you pay for. I recommend, stick to the original or use trusted specialist like mugen for back up batteries.

My general beef with extended batteries though, is that with the increased phone size they produce, sg2 will become vulnerable to falls / scratches. That is, they'll be no case protectors designed big enough to accomodate it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hotsync100:
Has anyone tried this extended battery?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] goodwinod:
The batteries I got from OBOstore.com lasted about half the time of the original battery.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
After many days of usage both with normal load and heavy gaming (which drained the battery from 100 to 20% in only 2 hours), I conclude that the Korean battery that I got from Export Prive is performing the same in terms of capacity when compared to the battery that came with the phone. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PhaseShiftDown:
I bought those 1800mAH battery from ebay. They are good for the price. Close to the stock battery when on standby, but drains faster when the phone is under heavy use.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PygmalionJones:
Ah, what the heck, I'll just wait and hope for the official batteries after getting an emergency one from ebay

Bought and tested cheap batteries

Hi,

first bought 2 x 1800 plus charger for about EUR 9:-, got them tested them and liked them. Then bought 3 x 1800 plus charger for the same amount. So I now have 6 batteries in all.

The stock one is better, no doubt, 1650 seems to last longer than the claimed 1800. Saw that someone said 1000 is more accurate and that might be true. Still great value, put one in your car, one in your briefcase, travelbag or wherever. In fairness I should say I have charged the original battery more times than the replacements to get it up to par - still poorer than my former iPhone4 though.

They work fine and 5 batteries and two charges for a bit more than one stock replacement - you do the math.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] andeelym:
I did too, am waiting for them to reach me though.

Did anybody try this: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...JE8K/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1312304019&sr=8-7

Hyperion batteries have excellent reputation in R/C!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
I bought same also. I would say that the battery is actualy a little bit better. Maybe not quite 1650 -> 2000 better but maybe 1800.

And you can feel that this battery is heavier than the original one. Not bad for the price.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pcboyy:
i just bought this 2 weeks ago. it gives me 3.5x full charge on SGS2
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fenguinpower:
bought momax. Google it. Watch out for their upcoming extended battery for Galaxy S2 with back cover stand. I have a feeling its a good quality battery since its taking too.long to release.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dbomb1:
+1 if anyone can provide some reviews on the Hyperion Batteries. I have looked at the amazon reviews, but I think the XDA community members are more pro users :).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mstolpner:
I think this battery is a fake. It does not look like Hyperion and I did not find it on the Hyperion website.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] redisol:
My order of 3x battery + charger from Ebay just arrived. Do you think it's safe to charge the original battery on the charger?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tyj82:
I see there is 2 version of momax bettery. 1450 black label and 1650 white label. It is fake or they actually have both ?

Edit: I found there are both on their website.. look like it real.. ordered 1650.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fenguinpower:
i got the 1450 and it lasts slightly 2 hours a day shorter than stock. 1650 will be as good as the stock or slightly less
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NoPompem:
I bought 2 "1800mah" from priceangels.com. Seem to last slightly(very slightly) longer than the stock battery. Wish I ordered a charger for them :(

I bought the slightly more expensive ones, I can't remember what made me uncertain of the other one.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
7dayshop is probaby the best shop online for bits and bobs of all sorts ive been using them for years now and they have always come up trumps and are amongst the cheapest around, even though this battery wont be an original who cares if it's from 7dayshop it's likely to be good,highly recommended online shop.

I bought Anker 1900mAh http://www.laptopmate.com off the ebay. It's not 1900 but it's totally on par with the stock battery. The battery is nicely packaged too. There are few threads on the HTC forums about Anker batteries and people there say it's got better capacity than stock. I think it's a good deal for $8.50 shipped.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, I just saw those on Amazon , get good reviews from HTC as you say, might be worth a go.

Hello,

last week I bought a GS2 from O2 Germany (O2 myHandy without SIM contract). I am not shure if it ist branded or not. Or if I have to use the O2 Firmware Update.

There is no special software installed, only the SAMSUNG Stuff.

If I root my GS2 is it possible to unroot and to bring it back to original state so that I can sent in for warranty?

O2, Germany

"HIDSWVER" = "I9100XWKE2/I9100OXXKE3/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2"

"ProductCode" = "GT-I9100LKAVIA"

Thank you for your time... und support...

Does anyone know how to disable the FOTA notification while using a modded 3.1 ROM (I'm using Primordial)? I've tried remanimg an apk called "UpdateLauncher" (no idead what it does), but the notification is still there. Any help would be appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
i have seen so little development on this tablet I'm the past few weeks regarding the bootloader. Has anyone been activly playing with kexec? From what I read its the most logical idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:
We don't have even a working recovery :(
[Acer Iconia A500] seraphimserapis:
Locker Bootloader -> No Recovery

As Consequence:

First Kexec, Then Recovery via Kexec.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
i know ... :( we need a new super smart dev to compile the kexec kernal modual and then we need the kernel source. We could employ the Asus transformer kernel with some modification, but I wount even know where to start... I wish I was smart enough to do this...
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:
I dont know, my X10 always has a encrypted locked bootloader and we have a working recovery. Atrix and others phones already have recovery with their locked bootloaders.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
While I can't say about the x10 but the atrix is using the kexec method for getting around the bootloader. Although last I checked they needed the kernel source to make more progress. .Im hoping the atrix can inspire the a500 community :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I think the only way we're going to get kexec to work reliably is to get the source and compile a kernel w/ kexec enabled and use ksplice to merge them.

I'm playing with getting the kexec module that they used on the milestone to build with the Transformers' source, but even if it builds (and loads), I doubt that it'll work right.

Edit: the purpose of this is because the kernel wasn't built with kexec support.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
weather it does or not. its still progress, which im seeing very little of. not that im pressuring anyone. i would actually love to help if i was able to :/ im glad someone is actively playing with a solution.

Hi,

Can anybody help me with this? My gps keeps failing. A reboot sometimes works, I've tried running quick gps but this makes no difference, Sometimes it will reboot itself after it fails (sometimes repeatedly!!) normally when using copilot 8. It doesn't seem to be an issue with copilot as google maps and chartcross gps also fail to work.

Do you use Quick GPS?

Did you try another Radio ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuglynutlock:
Yes

Yes

No, I've not changed radio.

I tried again last night. Co pilot worked for a minute or so then lost gps, then "gps back, determining position..." then rebooted itself, repeatedly and did freeze on boot up once. I soft reset it and tried google maps, it found no sats and rebooted itself, tried again and it was ok for about 10 minutes on copilot then I had finished my journey... It's infurating I do know! Would it be worth trying a different radio as I've not changed it from stock and it's only recently benn misbehaving?

Thanks for the bad news but I think you may be correct.... I've hard reset it and the gps and rebooting side of things is exactly the same, but now it also seems to be eating the battery(COMPLETELY drained in 16 hours with approx 15 minutes of calls made and a brief use of copilot and googlemaps) and I've not installed any additional software or made any changes from "out of box" condition apart from reinstalling my contacts and the latest version of facebook.... It now also is not porting facebook profile photos into contact list even though I have recreated the links.... I have emailed htc but had no response from their "crack" support team as yet (it's only been 26 hours so far). I only got the HD2 in August last year so hope that it will be a warranty issue.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
I mean, I understand why the background auto-rotate when we tilt the phone. When accelerometer detect the phone tilt, the screen tilt and the background tilt w/ it. And that's kinda make sense. But, the problem is when you have a tight crop person as a background, and set the background to be non-scrolling. Then I think it's obvious that the background want to be set static in a certain way. Currently I have not found a way to lock the background wallpaper. I mean as I rotate the screen I want everything else to rotate and get landscape/portrait UI as necessary, but the background remain the same whether portrait or landscape. Well, I have yet to found a way. The only thing I came across is to disable accelerometer, but that's not very a solution. Anyone know how to do this?

The only thing I can think of is to find an app on the market that will manage your wallpapers for you. I know they have apps that will set a seperate wallpaper for each homescreen, so maybe there's one that allows seperate wallpapers for both portrait and landscape.
