[LG Optimus Black] frost_cz:
Hey I wanna share my experiences with this battery and I hope it will help others who are considering purchase :-)

I can't post links so on the dealextreme this battery is under SKU code : SKU 106072

Little bit of backgroud:

After update my LG OB to android 2.3.4 (provider Vodafone CZ) I have encountered lot of problems - poor response, lot of lags, whole phone was very lazy :(

I have downgraded back to 2.2.2 make root and install custom rom ravenous v4.0 xperiaS(v20n stock rom) 2.3.4 GB Deodexed!

This rom is great, fast response, no lags, nice design :-)

With stock battery and original LG roms I have problem to reach 24 hours battery life, battery was draining too fast. I usualy get around 18hours and I have to recharge. That was reason, why I have decided to purchase bigger battery.

I am currently running with this ravenous rom and this extra battery and right now i have after 1 day and 15 hours 19% of battery remaining :-)

I am very satisfied because with stock rom and stock battery my OB have to daily visit charger. With this battery I have more than 100% battery life.

I hope the duration of battery life will improve after few charging cycles.

Well the phone is pretty thick, but the weight is still OK, for me is the priority duration on battery.
[LG Optimus Black] aniym:
I had the same problem on the LG updated 2.3.4 on Telus (Canada). No improvement in battery life, bad lag, etc.

It was after rooting and flashing Zeus, which came with the Batterycalibration app that I'm finally starting to see decent life (15-18 hours normal usage). Before it would die in 7 hours or so with very little usage and get very hot when browsing normal, non-flash websites.

Still, I'm interested in getting the battery you mentioned, unfortunately, there are no reviews on DX to corroborate yours.

Many battery,come with fake capacity.. fusion OEM batery with portable charge,,look great.:D:thumbup:
[LG Optimus Black] zagarfan:
The only thing what i hate in OB the battery...

Now I using Zeus Rom and ICS alpha both, and I surprised that my battery has much more energy then before...

I think the battery will always be a problem for OB!!
[LG Optimus Black] navossoc:
How much time you guys can use the battery without recharge (standby)?

I'm already in 3 days, but I already got 5 days.

(stock V20C, root, without lg social stuff)

Now I'm using the CM7, I'm loving it :)

[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Did anyone already find a good battery? Which can last about 2 days of medium use? Like a 1900 mAh one? Cause I can find pretty many, but they all seem to be fake... Hope anyone already has got some results on them ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Don't think there are any current "real" batteries with high Ah for the OB.

For me i keep using my 5Ah USB battery and thinking to replace it with a 8Ah one (it costs less than 30 euros from Amazon).

After 7 months use the 5Ah gives me constant 2.5 charges from 5-10% to full, so the 8 might make that 4 charges.
[LG Optimus Black] di3cbl:
which means i can safely charge my ob using apple's 5V charger?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] TheFallenSpear:
I'm going to buy the Mugen Power 3400mAh Extended Battery that the OP mentioned, but I've heard that it scratches easily because the new shell is plastic. Are there any clip cases that would fit the OB with this new extended case?

I have a "cheap ass" 3500 mAh extended battery, which also comes with an extended case. You can find them for about $10 on Ebay, and I'm quite happy for the price. No way would I buy a $100 battery for this phone, but to each their own.

Anyway you might consider trying the cheap extended battery first, before you order an expensive Mugen?

I also think the "cheap" case would fit the Mugen as well, so even if you get the Mugen as well, then you don't need to worry about scratching it that much.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

I wouldn't bother with any regular sized replacement batteries that claim larger capacity. Most of them actually are worse than the stock LG battery.

The only improvement in capacity comes with an extended battery, which will make your OB twice as thick. Or else consider carrying one extra regular sized battery with a separate charger.
[LG Optimus Black] olipaulo:
Can you please compare the stock with the 3500 larger battery, in terms of hours/days? Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] j0ris:
I don't have time to do a really accurate test, but from experience I'd guess the extended battery lasts a little under twice the time of the stock battery.
[LG Optimus Black] detro:
Well I have one of those babies.. it was like $12 price so I gave it a shot. It is supposed to be of high capacity (2430MAH) but actually the battery life is the same as the stock battery (1500MAH).. At the end of the day - I'm not mad at all - the price was very cheap and I have a spare battery I can use :P
[LG Optimus Black] CedricDa:
My OB runs out of battery sometimes in < 4 hours. Don't know the reason for it.

Backed up my rom en reflashed it. Problem solved. Very weird :o

hey guys take a look over here:

I ordered the 3000 mAh battery (Black) a while ago for when my phone runs out of power and i'm really satisfied with it.

sorry for my bad english
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Can you put pictures off what the battery looks like whit and without cover, and battery dialog screen shots while on normal to heavy usage.
[LG Optimus Black] treborblack:
Mugen 1800mah findings

I hammer my 3g connection using tunein for three hours a day. With the mugen battery it drops 40% the LG battery drops 60%.

The LG has been through the charge discharge cycle about 300 times so is tiring. It was never as good as the new battery is!
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Not real 3000 mAh than. That's about the result i get with the 1700 L7 battery.

Replacement 3.7V 3500mAh Extended Battery Pack + Matching Back Case for LG Optimus Black/P970
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
How many hours screen time do you get on normal use ?

Like browsing, messaging, calls.

Do you mind doing a test after few cycles of discharge-charge? And posting some screen shots.

If the capacity is real you should hit about 9 hours or more.

P.s. I presume you are on stock, our stock based Rom.
[LG Optimus Black] daroco:
3500mA battery

I bought this a year ago. It works great but it make the phone really thick. Difficult to hold. The cover is smooth without any texture. Bad for sweaty hands. I do get a decent amount of time out of it. Close to 4-5 hours of browsing with wifi on. Watch 3 full length movies on a single charge. I really like it, my only dislike was the cover is cheap. I dropped it and cracked the corner. Way too brittle. I use it when I am away from a charger for extended periods of time (8 hours +). Really, usage is a huge variable that cant be quantified. But I think it is great for what it is.$$:good: There is another one there for a few dollars more. I would suggest to buy that one, maybe the cover is better quality.
[LG Optimus Black] n1980:
i will upload screen shots soon, and im not on stock im on Ultrasound ROM V30B v3.1 .

you are right this is the downside (thick+cover is cheap and cracked easy), but the OB last longer :)
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
It well be greatly appreciated. My original battery is nearly dead, and to be honest I don't care about the thickness, as I need to recharge twice three times a day anyway. Most of the time I have it on the external battery pack .
[LG Optimus Black] karl_azytzeen:
I own both them

I Own both Batteries from DX, de 3600 and the 3500 ones.

They are the same ones, comes with the same back cover, that is weak, avoid it to fall down from more than a half meter... mine has some repairs done.

Batteries works excellent, I had estimated both them in 3000+ Mah of capacity and they use to last me 2-2,5 days of normal use or 18-20hours of intensive use (phone calls, games, internet reading with full screen bright, gps... with 3g-3.5G data and wifi all the time)

The only con is the back cover.
[LG Optimus Black] therealjcool:
Well after 3+ years, I need a new battery for my OB. I do want a flat one, so I'm torn between an original battery (less than 10€ ebay) or one made by PolerCell: Search ebay for "PolarCell Akku LG OPTIMUS Black P970" or use ID 390407572136 (I can't post links).

From what I can tell from reading around the web, these seem to be slightly better than original - anyone got any experience with them?

Talking about this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/PolarCell-Ak...136?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Akkus&hash=item5ae61acaa8
[LG Optimus Black] n1980:
this is very good time ...

which rom are you using ?
[LG Optimus Black] karl_azytzeen:
By now IZS v1, but i dont had enouht time to have any conclusion.

What I say is in IZS v0.4, with Diana kernel3 v2, smartass2 with noop and rebooting after every charge.
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
check this MPJ batterries...looks good..The slim one is 2500mah...is this a good company ...and bigger one is 5000mah......

[LG Optimus Black] jvarzim:
I'd still go with the stock battery. That way you keep the aesthetic of what you bought, not some thick phone.

For LG official I usually go to spareslg.com.

A least you know what you are getting.

Hi, I have a MOTOROLA Milestone 2 with 2.2.2 .

I would change the statusbar color from white to black. On the internet I saw that someone has done it with the original ROM, but in my only attempt I blocked everything and I solved with a flash.

Can anyone help me?

Hi! I also want to replace the color of the status bar but I'm not shure if I get the procedure... I already have the modified framework-res.apk from UOT Kitchen, do I have to flash it from recovery? Does it works from the stock Froyo 2.2.1 ROM or do I have to change the ROM?? Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] evilmtv:
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that link! Played around with it last night and transformed the interface completely under an hour :)

Hope someone can make a guide for it though, such as the bootanimation folder. I selected the Froyo option but it didn't appear as a change. I guess its another folder but I'm not sure which.

Did you have to root in order to use Netflix? Sorry if it sounds dumb but I'm thinking of buying one.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
Yes you do.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dabiddabird:
Not any more. I set my friend up with a SD bootable cm7 latest nightly and with the updated app it worked. No fast foreword audio or video, just pure goodness. His nook is a non rooted blue dot nook.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] steelerfan75:
CM7 is rooted
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dabiddabird:
Yes sorry it is a rooted rom, what I meant to say is that you do not have to root the stock nook itself if you run an SD bootable version. Unless the sd bootable roots the device in the process? I myself run off rooted emmc so SD bootables are a little foreign to me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] miniaturepeddler:
Thanks for the link.

Latest nightly C7 and it works well without the build mod.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] agnt2000:
Works for me

This worked well for me--Thanks! No fiddling with any other files, just signed into Netflix account and it worked.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] patruns:
Actually, it is not. Rooted means you have kept the stock ROM and simply opened it up so you can install the market and other apps not in the Nook app store. CM7 is a custom ROM that replaces the stock ROM. While the distinction may not sound important, it is if someone follows the wrong instructions when trying to return a Nook Color to stock form such as if they have a warranty issue. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Rooted means that you have root access to the OS.

"root is the conventional name of the user who has all rights or permissions."

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] youbecha:
I just installed CM7 to SD card, and then download the netflix app from here.

Works great!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bigbob23:
I wonder why Netflix no longer shows up in the Market?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Really? CM7 isn't rooted? Wow. You're probably are one of the people who "bricked" a NC as well, eh?

Rooted (as joenathane says) means you can do w/e the hell you want to the OS (super-user/administrator rights). CM7 (and nearly all after markets roms) are rooted.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dianeofarcadia:
Thanks for the link. Working great on Phiremod MIUI.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] patruns:
No need for sarcasm. What I meant was when you follow the instructions for rooting your Nook Color you are really keeping the stock ROM and opening it up. When you install CM7 you are replacing the stock ROM with a custom ROM. Yes, it is still rooted but it is not the stock ROM. The instructions for doing and undoing this are different depending on which way you go and I did not want people to be confused if they try to undo what they previously did.

And no, I have note bricked mine. You can't brick a NC since you can always boot from a SD card. You can get it to the point where many would give up, but you cannot brick it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Hehe...just making sure you know what's up ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] advocate2:
This is a noob question. I probably should know the answer, but I don't.

I downloaded the apk file. Where on the SD card do I put it to get it to run?

I know how to get to the root menu and/or to connect the Nook via USB. I have heard about "pushing" an app to the device, but I don't know how to do it.

Thanks.

PS. I also bought a copy of Root Explorer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] youbecha:
I simply downloaded the file using the nook browser, then tapped on the download to install it (the notification window at the bottom).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] androidmonkey:
Actually you are wrong, like others have said.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DizzyDen:
While we're on teminology... technically... stock, CM7 or any of the others are NOT ROM... ROM is "Read Only Memory"... but on the nook ROM is a partition that contains device specific information... but it is writable... so not even TECHNICALLY ROM...

stock, CM7, and MOST other operating systems for the nook are AOSP operating systems... some are simply operating systems (OS's) while CM7 and the other open source OS's are Android Open Source Projects (AOSP)

But this has nothing to do with the OP... so I digress further.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pastordl:

I couldnt have downloaded the file without an internet connection...Is there something more I need to do?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danvee:
Assuming that the time is correct and you do have a good Wi-Fi connection you might want to clear the Netfix app's cache and data.

Hi,

I'm on T-Mobile UK and when ever I send a slightly long SMS, the phone auto converts it to an MMS message and sends it through the internet/uses data to send it?

Why is this? It never used to happen on my Desire.

Any help is appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:
Yep,

And it charges 17p for the privilege, its disgusting..

It's just a pain coz it displays the message as if it were a picture (which looks ugly) and it's hard/takes longer for the person to receive the message!

THanks though for clearing that up!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Hate to dig up old topics, but looks like my SII can't send more than 1 sms (160 characters) before converting the whole text to mms. People were reporting they can send up to 3 sms before phone converts to mms. 3 should be ok for me, but 1 definitely sucks. Is there a way i can make it accept 3 sms ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
Try this

For me it stays as a text message and I send many text overseas and not just from the country I'm in at the time.

That setting is only for how many messages should the phone store before deleting old conversations, doesn't help with sending more characters in a single sms :o Thanks for the tip JJEgan but i don't wanna root my phone to achive that and only solution i found was handcent sms which looks like crap. Must be a way of sending at least 3 sms, as all the other SII, but played with sms settings and there's no such thing. Wonder if my provider has anything to do with that, but it's highly unlinkely, as i can send multiple sms with other phones in the same network.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Use pudding to unlock bootloader, and Kenneth Penn's 4.5.91 to go to GB. Can flash back from this. If you subsequently flash the upcoming OTA, you most likely won't flash back, as Moto has tried to prevent flashing back with the latest upgrade.
