Behind the times

Shoot! :eek: And I thought I had the latest and greatest with my excellent 3300 mAh Seidio Extended Battery. Now it doesn't feel so excellent anymore.
[Captivate Accessories] goat_sea:
I just bought one cause the low price, thanks for showing us this. :)
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
You're welcome :)
[Captivate Accessories] pwnerman:

[Captivate Accessories] ukiani:
Just curious...is the an installulous like app for the android
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
Just search "3500mAh EXTENDED BATTERY+DOOR Fr SAMSUNG Captivate I897" on E-bay and you'll find it.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

My display at the time was probably around 3-4 hrs. Voice calls was <1hr.

No, it's just a menu option to view battery usage.
[Captivate Accessories] MK2MR2:
I can vouch for this battery, it freakin rocks! & It's a few bucks cheaper now, I got it at $15 shipped a while back.

I was on Fasty 2.3 when I tested the battery, medium usage overall...heavy texting though.

Edit: Hmmmm....now that I see that picture, I wonder why my phone didn't include stats for my WiFi or calls or stuff like that. Weird.
[Captivate Accessories] solinar:
Not to be a Debbie-Downer, but out of four of these that I have received, only one seems to put out more juice that the OEM batt. That being said, I love the one that works!

I ordered a pair of these from ebay. One wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes. I contacted the seller and told them that one of the batteries was bad. They ended up sending two more as a replacement. Out of the four, one is great (I would guess maybe 2500 mAh?), one is around the same as the OEM battery, one I get constant reboots with, and the one that doesn't hold a charge.

I love my one that works. It was well worth it for the price, but clearly there are some quality issues going on.
[Captivate Accessories] Mongostylor:
thinking about getting one of these if I go on a larger trip. I allready have a spare 1650mAh Battery though.
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
It's just good to know I can use my phone heavily and not run out of battery before the day's end. Of course if you're playing graphic intense games then that will never be possible.
[Captivate Accessories] shorty920:
I might check this out. Ever since I got on the 2.3.4 gingerbread roms and running Dark Core/Talon my battery life has gone to crap.
[Captivate Accessories] goat_sea:
I received my bad boy today. I cut my rubber case so it protrudes out, and I honestly don't mind it. It makes holding the phone somewhat nicer, than a flat brick. I charged it for only 2 hours, but now i'm letting it go for 8. Then i'll wipe stats and whatnot. But it's pretty damned nice so far. When I received it, it was at 45%, and it took atleast two hours of 3d games to bring it to 25%. I'm really amazed this was $10, and I paid for faster shipping ($5).

It seems really worth the price, and I would like to thank the poster again for mentioning this.
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
You're very welcome. I'm glad you are having good results also. I've been using this for about a week now, still getting great performance.
[Captivate Accessories] graydiggy:
I can attest to this battery as well. It just wont die. I have had it for the last 3 days, and each charge cycle that I give it brings more time to the battery. I went from being at 32% after a full day on the stock battery with moderate usage, to 60% with this battery today on heavy to almost excessive use. I'm talking, videos on youtube, Downloading apps, texting, calling, music ect. All of this is on Fasty II 2.1 and its just incredible to see my phone go for so long now.
[Captivate Accessories] ACCUSED24:
Just ordered mine :D But going to use latest Stable of Miui
[Captivate Accessories] sifulee:
I can also attest to the excellant performance of this battery. I just got mine last night. First thing I did was charge it with the phone off to 100%. I played 3d games for about 30 minutes, watched a 2 hour movie, about 30 minutes of internet browsing, used gps for 30 minutes on my way to work this morning, and have been listening to pandora for the pass 2 hours and I'm at 52%!!! My previous battery would have been DEAD by now. For 15 bucks this battery is a no brainer! I'm sure as others have posted that the battery life will only improve once I calibrate it and charge it a few more times.

Thanks to the OP.
[Captivate Accessories] b-eock:
I can get over a day on the stock battery!
[Captivate Accessories] graydiggy:
You may be able to get over a day, but what do you do with your phone? Do you use any programs like Juice Defender? Are you a power user? Way all do you do that makes your stock battery last for over a day?
[Captivate Accessories] b-eock:
I don't use any battery defending programs or apps. I properly calibrate it after every ROM flash and every once in a while!
[Captivate Accessories] ACCUSED24:
On average, how long does the battery last?
[Captivate Accessories] neta1964:
Is the battery the same size of the one coming with the cappy or is it bigger?
[Captivate Accessories] Ir0nLy0n:
It's thicker. The stock door wont fit over it but the one in the ebay link comes with a door modified to fit. The only problem is that captivate cases wont fit with it on.
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
I had a Defender Otterbox and had to remove it use this. The Otterbox ended up scuffing up my phone, so good riddance to that. I find the phone is more comfortable to hold with the bulge.
[Captivate Accessories] pwnerman:
how long did it take for you guys to get yours with normal shipping its been about a week and i haven't got mine yet
[Captivate Accessories] Ir0nLy0n:
Mine took 8 days
[Captivate Accessories] sifulee:
I've been getting about 36 hours with normal usage, about 18 hours with heavy usage. Right now I have 52% left after 17h 50m 39s since unplugged.

Like I said before, it's a NO BRAINER! The absolute best purchase I've made for my phone period.
[Captivate Accessories] mawaisz:
mine took approx 10 days :)
[Captivate Accessories] mawaisz:
Thats my first test for my first batt.

I'm currently experimenting my second batt, discharging and recalibrating it, see how long will it last ^^,

So far, its even better than the 1500mah, no hard feelings.

But i doubt maybe for it to be last long in years, not much for a hope, cause its not OEM :(

I'll keep updating for my second test :D
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
What was the display time in your test ?

I have not been able to get more then 6 hours.
[Captivate Accessories] Joe777G:

[Captivate Accessories] illusoryphoenix:
Hmm, I'd try this but the battery not fitting in the standard case is a deal breaker. I like that the phone is so light...
[Captivate Accessories] mwiz123:
Wow that's amazing

FROM MY CAPPY
[Captivate Accessories] jordanpatrick:
I've been on the fence about whether or not to get the Epic 4G 1800mAh battery (because it will fit with the standard back) or to get an larger battery with an extended cover. This thread, and the great battery life, is certainly swaying me towards the latter now.
[Captivate Accessories] beast534:
I am still happy with mine. though , if you think ull miss the slim design id go with the other. you could get both also..
[Captivate Accessories] nguyenms:
Thanks alot
[Captivate Accessories] shaolin95:
How do you guys test the actual capacity? Cat you do it with a digital multimeter?
[Captivate Accessories] Dabadgar:
Thanks a Lot! this is a nice upgrade from the 1500mAh stock one
[Captivate Accessories] mikehd1959:
Amazon has what appears to be the same battery as well for $10. I ordered one today and will report back on how well it works.
[Captivate Accessories] mranonymous333:
I have just ordered a 3500mah extended battery for my captivate, along with the Custom TPU Protective case made by MoreTalkTime that is designed to fit the extended battery door.

Both items should be here within the next 10 days. I'll come back with a review then.
[Captivate Accessories] mikehd1959:
Got my battery and new back cover yesterday. Good delivery speed from the Amazon vendor (ordered 11/23, received 11/28).

Went through initial charge with phone off, then did the calibration routine.

Battery looks identical to the eBay unit. Back cover is a grippy rubberized plastic. No metal in the cover so I'm interested in how GPS and wifi are affected.
[Captivate Accessories] Dabadgar:
Thanks for this! Its rough that its so thick compared to the OEM but its worth it
[Captivate Accessories] mikehd1959:
After using the phat battery from Amazon for a few weeks it appears to have settled in to around 2x the run time of the Anker 1800mAh batteries.

So, I'm happy that the battery works as well as it does for the price. The only knock I have against this one is the fragility of the plastic case back. I've already chipped off one of the retention "nubs" so when the second one goes, I'll be taping the battery in place :D

On a positive note I found no issues with phone, wifi, or GPS that I could say was due to the plastic case back.

Here's the one on amazon if you're interested.

This is unfortunate. The seller is not shipping to Canada.

Anyone able to buy it and ship it to me? Compensations for your troubles of course. PM me please, and maybe we can work something out.

Thanks!
[Captivate Accessories] Silencer96:
You can get these from ebay for $6. They shipped mine to Canada in a month/3 weeks.
[Captivate Accessories] Bnblare:
3500mah battery is worth it. Had mine for about 6 months and I don't charge my phone nearly as Mich as I used to. I have 4 other 1500mah batteries that have been sitting since I got big Bertha. Plan on ordering 2 more
[Captivate Accessories] uberjon:
Just got mine in the mail from amazon. I actually like the bigger back. Texture and size is better than stock. Shows about 45% on first start. Hoping at least 50% more use per charge.
[Captivate Accessories] Silencer96:
Well the real capacity of this battery has been calculated to be around 2200 mah, so you (should) be able to get around 50% more.
[Captivate Accessories] rexthunder:
This is my initial first cycle reading with this battery under heavy use. Hopefully with a few more cycles I can pull more battery time.
[Captivate Accessories] apmobster:
Just ordered mine

Kept on reading all the posting and decided ill try one since its so cheap. Hopefully it gets me through a day of heavy usage. thats all im looking for.:)
[Captivate Accessories] portalgod:
Same here! I just need a day or day and a half of moderate or heavy use for when on the road.

Unfortunately, I had just purchased the Anker 1800mAh a week ago and then saw this thread only yesterday. For $8, how can you not try it.
[Captivate Accessories] rexthunder:
I highly recommend it. I'm a heavy user and I avarage 6-7 hours on screen time with like 19 hours on battery which is damn good. The great part of this battery is that they make a TPU custom case for it as well.
[Captivate Accessories] portalgod:
I received the Tpu case, back cover, and big battery today from Amazon. First impression is good. Good shipping package, fast arrival, and everything fit on the phone nice and snug. Like Ace Ventura would say, like a glove!

Charging tonight and calibrating battery stats when it hits 100%. I hope to get the performance others have described. Will report back in two weeks.
[Captivate Accessories] apmobster:
Ok so got mine about a week ago. First couple days, it was good but not too impressive. Than i flashed Teamhacksung's ICS, overclocked to 1.5ghz and this thing is a beast!! 14 hours of HEAVY usage and i still got 30% battery.

Screen on: 2 hours 45 mins ( amazing to me)

Lots of browsing, hours of music, texts, camera, email, youtube, etc. I love it!!
[Captivate Accessories] SGT_Watkins:
Ordered mine, but it has to ship to Germany via APO, so it may take a while.
[Captivate Accessories] portalgod:

After a few weeks, so far so good. See screenshots.
[Captivate Accessories] eddie85u:
how much does a cattery like this takes to fully charge?

are there batteries like the ones on iphones that charge up to 80% super fast?
[Captivate Accessories] mwiz123:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
Stated in the title. I am looking for a nice horizontal leather or something case. I bought a screen protector for mine but I am not a big fan of keeping it in my pocket. I like to have my phone on my side "business like"..lol.

If you run across a nice belt case, let me know please. I saw the legit oem side case at the sprint store. As much as I dont want to, if I don't find something that fits it without all that extra space...I will just pick the oem one up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
The official Verizon Droid X leather holster fits the phone perfect. Even with my TPU case on, its gits great! I have used this case with both my EVO 4G and EVO 3D. Its really a very nice case, other than the price...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Leather horizontal case with belt clip for Epic 4G Touch

before I got my phone, I took a chance on Ebay and ordered one from a merchant named unplugdaily in China that is made for the SG2 i9100. Despite the fact that the D710 is slight larger than i9100, my new E4GT fits. In fact it's a nice snug fit so if the magnetic flap were to open when i dropped the entire case, I don't think the phone would fly out (a very good thing). case with a screen protector was $4.16 including delivery to USA which took about 10 days (pretty fast for China orders). BTW, the screen protector is for the smaller i9100 screen but I put it on my D710, looks OK and there's less than 1/8" space around the edges. On 9/17/11 I found a screen protector for the D710 on Ebay from a merchant in Utah for 99 cents including postage which I ordered.

Here is is again with more pics and reviews.... http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Pouch...VMA6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316439784&sr=8-3

Its the same as this one and has a lot of reviews and looks snung. Went off @1BadHEMI and looked into Droid X holsters. Epic is a smidget bigger so should fit real snug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
I'm not sure if that holder is going to work because it seemed tight around the droid x, and cases make it too large to fit.

Still, I hope it does fit. Looks like a nice holder. Please report your results once you get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlr_90:
Qmadix makes the one for the Infuse and I'm 99% sure they made the one Sprint sold for the Nexus S 4g. I emailed them but they said they had no plans to make one for the Epic Touch. I'm sure they would if there was more interest. Super nice case/holster IMHO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
REVIEW

Well the case I ordered is actually too big. Im thinking it would be a real snug fit for the phone if I had a TPU case on it. So I am honestly debating if I want to get one or not. I like the thinness and feels like I would lose that if I put a TPU case around it.

Back to the drawing board....anyone want a case?? $5 shipped

I am on srf 1.1.1 and have flashed all the new leaks and I always go back to srf 1.1.1 (1.2 doesn't have the sprint network fix s I stayed on 1.1.1)

I just want to put this out there I installed the newest. v6 supercharger script and the turbo 3g script (not the kernel tweak though it causes problems) and this phone runs like its on a perfect gingerbread build. No lag at all . I'm getting 2100 quadrant scores with no overclocking.

I also figured out that using a task manager is not needed in fact it actually slowed the phone down.

I've been running this for 4 days now and I'm still amazed.

Ill try and find the link and post it.

Which version of the script are you running? There's a lot of scripts there.

I might try to copy your exact setup
[Epic 4G General] Bizz08:
I've yet to try the v6 turbo charger and remember Srf 1.1.1 being fast & stable when I was running it so I'm thinking about going back and trying this setup for a while. Currently running RandomRom 2.2 Phoenix w/Genocide 1.0 & EH17 Modem and its also been fast/stable with great battery life.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
I'm using SRF 1.2 with the supercharger scripts. I have to say after being on GB leaks for awhile it is nice to be back. My phone is super snappy, and the battery is sipping away.

I also froze DRM, SNS, and com.samsung.

It is truly how this phone should be used. I wish I could still have all the GB goodies though.

Also, to fix the sprint network issue, flash a theme. I'm using the honeycomb theme and its working great.
[Epic 4G General] brijahn:
Anyone having SD card issues with V6 Supercharger? I've been on SFR 1.2 since it was released, never had a problem. After reading this post I used the Supercharger Script and in 2 days I've lost 2 16GB SD cards. Both with the same "SD card damaged, need to reformat." It may be totally unrelated to the script and actually hardware problem, just curios if it happened to anyone else. The problem now is to "un-supercharg" I need to put it on another SD card, and I'm not sure that I'm willing to part with another.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaforme:
Hi all! I'm trying to figure out if Desire Z would work for me, if I should buy it or not. I have read all the threads on led I could find but thngs are still unclear to me. My provider sells the Desire Z with android 2.2. still. I want to be able to use at least the 3 possible colors of notification led to set amber just for sms, green just for calls and red just for battery for example. From what I could find Led me know stopped working when 2.3. update came for Desire Z. If I DON'T update however, I can not completely understand which possibilities Led me know beta gives and which not. For example, can I choose which color I want for sms and frequency and lenght or will the color for sms be the phones' default one (if it has one).

Or is there any better application with which I could also update the phone and be able to shoose color, frequency, lenght? The pre relese for 2.3 Desire Z does not work right?

Also I can't seem to find anywhere where the led is located. Is it behind speaker girll like on sensation?

Thanks all!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
nope. i mean the app is free just try it. but the trackpad only has 1 color and the charge indicator only has the green and red.

led me know not really meant for our phones
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaforme:
I can't try it, I don't have the phone yet lol. I'm asking this in order to decide wheter or not I should buy it.

I don't understand why it is not at least possible to use the existing colors in customised way. If amber color does exist, why not be able to set it for sms?

How visible is the led behind the speaker grill? I have found it is hidden behind the grill right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
You can set the top led for red, orange, or green. The buttom (trackpad) is white only. Ledmeknow allows all that on 2.2... 2.3 it has problems with. If you want GB and led mods, go with light flow. But still red, green, orange only of course.

But yeah, the mixing doesn't work. All the newer HTC models are like that. I'm not sure why... but you can combo top and bottom led at the same time and they are all very visible. The top led is behind the speaker grill but is extremely visible still. Enjoy your new Desire Z/G2! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaforme:
What do you mean by mixing?

2.Give me a tutorial please how to go back to Gingerbread Official !!! If i flash back to Official gingerbread reocovery menu will dissapear ???

3.What do u recommand me AndroIDv3.2(Custom rom) or Gingerbread ???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy98:
bumppppppp !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yagya:
Its up to you!!!

Andro-id is customized version of gingerbread 2.3.4 and is better than gingerbread. And it also comes pre-rooted and is more flexible than official gingerberead.

Just flash a froyo rom for your region/area phone from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5570.htm and flash it using odin one package option. If you have installed any custom recovery like CWM recovery, doing so will replace the custom recovery with stock recovery.

I think Andro-id 3.2 is better than gingerbread. but, cm7 is even more better than andro-id. THe diffrence however is cm7 looks and is completeley diffrent from gingerbread but andro-id looks similar and has similar functions to gingerbread... CM7 is very much customizable comes prerooted and can be overclocked.
