I had ordered the wrong Anker batteries last week so returned them. Do the ones you got fit fine or is there a a slight force needed? I read the top is slightly different between the two batteries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xalphaplus:
I've been using the Anker 1800 mAh battery for the past 4 hours solid. Getting very similar performance out of these compared to the battery that came with the phone. I'm roughly at 52% battery and I've taken about a dozen pictures, sent out multiple texts, surfed the web, and used voice for about 20 minutes during that time.

As for the fit, they are a tad bit more snug than the original battery, but still fit none the less. I'll post pictures when I get them edited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xalphaplus:
On the first picture, Anker is on the left, the Samsung original battery is on the right. As you can see from this picture, the notch on the battery is ever so slightly off (smaller by maybe 1 or 2 mm). It still fits within the battery cradle, but there's very little wiggle room. Pictures 2 and 3 show front and back, picture 4 is another view of the notches.

Btw, picture 1 was not taken with the batteries on my ass crack. They were between my knees. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
You can use the extended batteries that worked for epic1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xalphaplus:
But is there a back cover that will fit the Epic 4g Touch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
Nope
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdrean:
Here comes a presumably dumb question but I wanted to double check. If I already have the Samsung Battery Charger specified for the Captivate (1500 bat.) would that charger be suitable for the Epic 4g Touch Battery (1800)? Seems an obvious Yes to me but I wanted someone to confirm if they can. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
as long as it fits it should work fine. Lithium ion is lithium ion. some batteries can't handle certain charging rates but 1500 and 1800mah are close enough I can't imagine it would make a difference. the 1800 mah battery will take slower to charge. the problem would usually come from the reverse, charging a smaller battery with a charger designed to charge a bigger one at a higher rate. I've charged a car battery with some random accessory wall charger that happened to put out 12v at a low amperage, it just took a long long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poloboogie:
There's a 2000 mah samsung branded slim battery sold over seas and also word around the web is that 64gb sdxc card works with the gsII
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmbatson:
lol @graffixnyc

Watched the links in your sig, awesome!

Anyway, I get that the old epic batteries work in the E.T. but has anyone else who used theirs see their battery drain extremely fast before your eyes...

I think ill just hold off till the OEM ones get sold.

come on Seidio or yoobao.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kessomatt:
Can you pull the sticker up on the battery and post what numbers are printed on the ankers? Found out with the e3d batteries there were lota of fakes with lower mah.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vader4633:
My Epic 4g batteries would not fit in my Touch. I ended up filing off the plastic "posts" and they now fit perfect (since I have 5 extra epic batteries)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vader4633:
Put my original Epic 4g 1500 mah battery in yesterday. It was charged to 93%. Did some web surfing for about an hour, streamed the whole cardinal baseball game audio on mlb at bat. Now after 20 hours 21 minutes and 14 seconds the battery is still at 24%.

My original Epic would of been dead just sitting off the charger overnight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vader4633:
OEM Battery was not supposed to ship until Oct 26th. Just got an email stating it shipped today. Website shows them in stock now with 4.95 shipping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
i just ordered one off ebay, supposedly OEM for ~$22.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] corerwh:
Would the Anker 2 x1900mAh Li-ion Batteries for Samsung Galaxy S II Galaxy S2 GT-I9100, i9100 (only for i9100) + Free Anker Multi-purpose USB Travel Charger battery work in the Epic 4G touch or are the GS2's taller?

are there any 1900mAh batteries that fit the Epic 4G touch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
in post #29, they said the international i9100 wont work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I actually got the Anker batteries for the international GSII and they are a different physical size and shape. They were nice enough to give me a full refund.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Anybody know if the Anker 5000mAh or the Anker 10000mAh external power packs will work with the epic touch? I also was looking on ebay and I see a lot of items stating that they are 1840mAh AceSoft batteries for sale. I went to the AceSoft site and they don't even have that battery listed so be careful about these batteries.

you returned these?http://www.amazon.com/Anker-x1900mA..._22?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317829402&sr=1-22

i'm going to try these.. I need them for this weekend:http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...GXR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317829207&sr=8-1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Well the 1840mAh battery and charger shipped the same day as the purchase. They should be here Friday or Saturday. I was planning on charging it and running neocore until I get the low battery warning and then doing the same for the stock battery and comparing the time it took. Is there a better way to compare it to the stock than that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I returned those. Let me know if the Epic 4G ones fit easy. I read you might need to do some filing. I'm fine with the battery life I'm getting. I just rather switch to a fresh new battery than wait for a charge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
in case anyone was interested i recieved my OEM battery from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380372960601

was only $22.99. i ordered on 9/28 and received it today, 10/5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
You know you can use the ones form the first epic right?

I am curious about how the cover looks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
yes, thats been stated numerous times throughout this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
ok, got the amazon ones i posted earlier, yup they fit easily. i didnt have to do any filing or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kessomatt:
The Anker ones right? Can you peel up one of the stickers and see if the mah rating is printed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
just peeled one all off..it was completely silver underneath.

sticker says 1800mAh for galaxy/captivate/vibrant.. i'm going to sell one to my co-worker for her epic. it fit and powered up her phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:

Thanks. I ordered a set. How do they compare so far to the oem!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
Just bought two Anker 1800mAh and a charger for $11.99 shipped. For the OG Epic but they should fit nicely! http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1800mAh..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317961277&sr=1-1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
I thought these were the ones that don't fit? Its the I9100 and not I9000 that we want for phones right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
No you got it backwards. Batteries for these phones work:

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 / GT-I9000

Samsung Captivate SGH-I897

Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700

Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959

Can anyone confirm that the mah rating is accurate? How do these compare to the oem 1650mah batteries?

Edit: after reading reviews I think I'll stick to the oem 1650 battery for galaxy s 4g...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
I couldn't find any of the 1650s for a reasonable price myself.

I have not received my e4gt yet. Since you guys are playing with battery fit. How much room is there between the battery and the door. I ask because I have an Evo 4g that I put in a palm pre inductive charger. Wondering if it will fit in the e4gt.

Anyone find a wall charger for the epic 4g touch? Like this one for the og epic. Or would this one work fine?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VPDEVC/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Thanks, looking forward to it. They raised the price to $14 though.. still the best price around anyway :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
They fit just fine. When you compare them to the original the fit looks smaller on the Anker. Also the battery is just slightly thinner. Neither affect the fit though. Oh and I was luck to get them at $11.99.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
"the fit looks smaller on the anker" meaning it's a bit tighter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
They fit perfect! Phone will charge on charger with these. I had ordered some "eBay " batteries previously for a buddies Fascinate and while in the phone plugged to a charger it reported unsupported battery. These should work perfectly. Will report back after a day's use. Sucks for everyone who bought OEM batteries for several times the price. The charger included is even adjustable for different batteries:-)

Sent from my Eptouch 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
It's just the squared groove at the top of the battery. I think it's an optical illusion that it looks smaller cause the battery itself is just barely thinner than OEM. Whatever it may be it's not a tight fit. Easy to install and remove.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
bleh, not only is it $14 now, but it's $6.99 shipping :P Guess I missed out.. maybe I'll wait for it to drop again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
fyi - i emailed about the price, they said it was a mistake that it was so low. that price is usually for just one battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
any better life span, or mainly same as stock?

I need a back up, bad lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
Day one with the Anker battery... Sitting around 50% leaving work. So pretty much on par with oem Samsung battery. Maybe slightly less. Sure glad that I didn't pay $20 something for 1 battery with no charger:D If you see the deal again...BUY IT!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suwu10:
Just ordered mine :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
HAHA. I lucked out on an error. $25 or less is still great for two batteries and a charger.

Appears to be the same life as the 1800 mAh stock. I get around 12 hrs with average use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
Got my Anker battery Package: Charger sucks! Batteries are nice though...

Batteries Thumbs Up.

Charger Thumbs WAY Down.

Batteries are not tight. They slip right in. So if you are buying the package for the batteries and you don't care about the charger great... however...

I have to say I HATE the charger! Moving the contacts around on this "universal charger" feels hokey and very cheap. Universal my ass; it is CHEAP!!! It is lame that you have to match up the contacts when putting the battery in the charger. This is a two handed operation. I mean you actually have to eyeball it to make sure the contact points are touching as there are no walls, cutouts or guides on the charger to help you put it in to make sure the contact post are touching the correct part of the battery. And you have to do this while pushing down on the spring loaded bottom of the charger. YUCK. Plus on the charger, how does one know what contact is positive and which one is negative? Does the battery face in, or out? blah blah blah... I could never recommend "this package" to someone like my mother or even my wife, or anyone for that matter as the charger is just embarrassing. Last of all, the directions say to disconnect the charger after it is fully charged. Most of the other made in China ebay chargers have a smart chip that switches the charger to a trickle charge once the full charge is obtained.

Again, if you are buying the package for the batteries great, but budget buying a charger elsewhere!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
It is universal because of the moving prongs so it's a pro and con. It isn't as convenient as popping it in and out with other chargers but it's not a deal breaker. Easiest method I've figured out is to place the bottom of battery flush on the foam, spring loaded side, push down, and connect to contacts. If you have it aligned correctly there's no need to move the contacts, just move the battery instead. It also seems to charger faster than other slow chargers which take 7 hours for a dead battery. Lastly I should mention that on all their listings they have a picture and instructions on how to charge and how you know it's in correctly:

charger instruction: Connect charger's two floating pins to battery's positive + and negative - points respectively. Then the indicator will turn red, which suggests that the charger is in charge mode. (Red = charging, Blue = full);

- Charging automatically stops when battery is full.

It's annoying at first coming from another wall charger but not a big deal. Also I believe you mean most chargers are float chargers (which this is) and not trickle.

From Wikipedia:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
Wow it took me like two seconds to adjust my charger. I'm just pissed that that my phone won't hop up and charge itself:-)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
The anker batteries are definitely thinner than the OEM. Probably not really 1800. If I used the phone without a case this would annoy me because it causes the back to have a bit of play.

I know we have alot of memory but I just wanted an SD card for xfer programs, so I decided to insert one, well I had a loose connector, when I would apply slight pressure by putting the back cover on/holding..etc. I would lose the SD card.

Went back and got a replacement.

[Windows 8 General] Techronico:
I just got done installing Windows 8 onto a Dell XT2 and experienced a blackscreen issue where I guess the built in display drivers in the Developer preview don't display properly on the laptop monitor. Below are my troubleshooting steps if it might help others. Dont know if this issue is for all XT2s but whatever... Here it is. Skip to step 7 for the direct solution. The rest before that is just what I did to find the solution.

Major issue solved...

Upon first boot, I started to go through the normal startup prompts and upon getting to the WiFi connection menu, the screen went completely black.

1. Tried Ctrl+Alt+Del...Nothing

2. Tried Power Button press...Screen Flashes briefly then goes to sleep mode...Hope...

3. Tried Waking up from sleep mode...Back 2 Black

4. Tried repeating steps 2 and 3 multiple times...Same results

5. Tried Power Button Hold...Powers Off Completely...(Expected)

6. Tried Power button press to power on. Gets to boot menu options...brief glimmer of hope... Then Back 2 Black after selecting boot option.

7. A NEW HOPE (I know it is EP4, Don't be such a nerd)...Go to my trunk where I keep an emergency 50ft VGA cable (Ok, I'm a nerd and this is my rifle...I mean Jumper cables...) Connected this to a monitor. BAM The screen is LIVE!!!

8. Go to Dell website > Support > Drivers > XT2 > Windows 7 x64 > Video Drivers LINK ---->>http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?releaseid=R304366&c=us&l=en&cs=&s=gen

9. Installed Drivers and Win! (The laptop screen came up and everything was back to normal)

If this helped you solve anything...even what to keep in your trunk. Hit Thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg0024:
I was wondering if anyone who is running Synergy RLS1 ROM has working Facebook Push Notifications? If so could you help me in getting them to work? I have never had push notifications working on my phone and would like to pin point why it works on some EVO's and not others.

Edit: After doing some research on Google I stumbled upon this page that explains that having "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" in your app list on Facebook your push notifications will work. So I found someone who still uses a Blackberry (wasnt easy) and all I had to do was log into my Facebook on their phone and enable notifications and wait for my news feed to load. Then I just logged out. Went on my computer and sure enough the "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" appeared in my App list under account settings. Then on my EVO I just cleared the Facebook app data and logged in again and sure enough my Push Notifications were working. I have cleared the data before and it never worked so I dont know why having the Blackberry thing makes it work but it has for me. No more flooding my gmail inbox with Facebook crap... Please feel free to try this and post if it works for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
The Facebook for Android app just sucks. I don't think anyone has done anything specific to get push notifications to work on their phone - some do, some don't.

You can set up push notifications through Friendcaster using your Gmail or something. I haven't actually done it because I don't use Facebook very often, but I know that the option is there. You can try that out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmeda:
I can tell this, it wasn't working when I was on stock froyo, not working still with what I have now. I don't think the FB devs are able to test it on all phones and roms, but then again, I don't think they pay much attention to bug reports. I must have sent them one report everytime they update that notifications are broken.

Friendcaster's a neat replacement, though. :)

Oh this one's going to be easy over here. More bb users than droids. Lol.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I'm running MIUI on my UK Desire Z, on a T-Mobile pay monthly contract. The phone frequently goes into Emergency Calls Only mode for no apparent reason, then goes back to normal in a couple of minutes.

Has anyone else had this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
I have not had this problem, but I believe that once the phone goes into Emergency Mode, it should require a battery pull and/or a reboot to return to a normal state of operation. Perhaps try a battery pull? This is supposed to be a security feature so that if something happens your location can be tracked... or so I've heard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
That's the strange thing - it rectifies itself after a minute or two WITHOUT requiring a battery pull or any other kind of intervention. I'm just wondering what puts it into this state in the first place???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
I think it may also be a sign of a bad SIM card. Actually yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that first. If it were me I'd try a replacement card and see if that resolves it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Trying a "replacement card" sounds easier said than done. Do phone companies issue replacement SIMs without the need to port the number from the original SIM?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes. SIMs go bad from time to time, and they can easily issue you a new one (keeping your existing number). Not sure about UK, but in the US, the easiest way is just walk into your carrier's store, and they can fix you up. Some carrier ware technically supposed to charge you $10-20 for a new SIM, but they will often overlook it. Really, the things cost close to nothing. And the SIM simply enables you to use their service, and for them to make money off of you. So why not give you one for free?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
The phone moves to 'emergency calls only' intermittently when switching networks or turning in/out of airplane mode, etc.. if its staying in that state, your phone is either having trouble keeping network connection, or isn't properly registering on the network. Id check to make sure your APN's are correct and if they are then id go about replacing the SIM possibly.
