screen on time ? Thats important... Im getting 5 hours with genuine 2000mah from samsung. Im considering buying this battery, but from my experience third party batteries are usually crap(momax for example), and this one is 70 euro. I will buy it only if it really is full 3200 mah. So I am waiting for some kind of test.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Coedy:
Mugen are the only third party battery I trust, Had one of their batteries in my old HTC Hero and it was fantastic, lasted me 4+days on a single charge (I could stretch it to 6 days with data/wifi off and just texts and calls).

I just have to 'lol' at people saying "ooooh its so expensive compared to other ones!!" and "It will blow up your phone!!!111!!!1!"

Its expensive because its not cheap nasty cr@p like 99% of all the other aftermarket batteries. It may not be the full 3200mAh but based on my experience with the HTC Hero version I wouldn't be surprised if it was still 3000+

It wont blow up the phone, its Mugen.

A google for 'Mugen Battery Review' is all people need to do to find out how highly Mugen is rated ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Momaxes is certainly not crap, Tids2k already measured the capacity of the extended Expower to be right on the money, 2680mah out of the rated 2700mah. At the very least it's better then the spider-foot/adinda/oem extended batteries (Rating 3200mah, real cap 2400mah).

Cover is not confidence inspiring though, I have to admit. It HAS survived a couple of drops before though.

On the other hand, nobody seems to have tested the Mugen for total cap yet. Holding on my purchase until someone does.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Watching that video of the increased phone thickness, even this phone is thinner
[Galaxy S II Accessories] seilent:
I think it's better to have 2 or three genuine samsung batteries than having 1 gigantic battery that sacrifice our phone's slimness.. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] junkalert:
Can you advise what is the total charging time from 10% to fully charged with this extended battery?

The original one takes about 3 hours to fully charge from 10%, using power socket charger (not USB) and with data packet/wifi/GPS all turned off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] richo27:
What point are the people posting in every single extended battery thread about slimness or ugliness trying to prove? You are providing no information in regards to extended batteries which the post is about. Thanks to the public demanding slim phones we all have poor battery life. Shut up please.

If the phone was twice as thick you could have reasonable battery life and it would still be easy to handle and pocket, why you need a phone thats >10mm thick is beyond me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nhtr1973:
exactly! Prove us what you have. Do not just talk like insane.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dookie1302:
Check this screen shotView attachment 755264
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
Checking it... show me the actual screen usage statistic (screen on time)

see ? Thats my 2000mah battery, dont see much difference, show me screen on time. (those big drops are order and chaos gameplay, pretty good for 2000mah eh ? + The total screen on time after three days was 5 hours.)

This is what I mean:

Im sorry for my scepticism... I just saw things many people overlook, the momax 3500mah battery is actually 2400mah and double the size, the other 1900mah batteries are really 1300-1400mah. Only the samy batteries match the rated capacity, my 1650 mah stock battery is 1614mah and my 2000mah battery is 2035mah according to my discharge tests. Thats why I dont trust 3rd party batteries. I just dont see small company squeezing same or more capacity into same sized battery because I am pretty sure they cant invest as much money into battery manufacturing process as samsung and thats why sammy batteries actually match the real capacities.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dookie1302:
I'll run another test and let you know... this screenshot is about 2 - 3 months old...

How can i check the actual capacity of my battery?

This battery does last at least 2 - 3 times longer than the stock Samsung Battery.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
For the actual capacity you need special equipment, however the most reliable way without it is: Run movie in a loop on original battery on max screen brightness with autobrigtness on, then repeat with new battery(same movie, settings, rom, uc/oc settings, governor etc... ofc). And from that you can calculate the actual percentual battery gain over old battery.

If you have time I would be grateful if you would do this as I need some kind of reliable test/review of this battery. Atm I dont have spare 80 euros for this kind of fun :D But I would buy it if I really knew its as good as advertised. Then it is worth the money
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dookie1302:
Don't you mean with Autobrightness off?

Will do..

How long do you think it'll play video for on a stock battery?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
yes off :P Sorry, I think around 3 hours, depends on governor, kernel etc, thats why I proposed using same settings and everything in both tests
[Galaxy S II Accessories] walie:
maybe you should keep the results of this test to yourself
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
omg lol... I meant tests... Well I was sleepy :D Edited.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mime103:
lol. Waiting for the

test
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fish55:
I am also waiting for this test!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ickyboo:
Mugan ain't anything special, Great at marketing and selling over priced batteries though. www.batteryboss.org has tests
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karan999:
Simple answer - i travel alot and i dont mind sacrificing the slimness of the cellphone.this is not my 1st cellphone.though it was remarkably slim.

long battery hours is what matters to me.

You might be astonished to know that this battery also takes 3 hours.infact less than 3 hours to full charge with all services turned off and display turned down to 0% which i usually keep it at.

+1 !!! good point !!! Also, what people dont realise is, now my phone is more rigid to hold in hand, feels high quality and thats what exactly a 30000Rs phone should feel like !!!

Hi dear friend.well, with Check Rom i was at before, i got an amazing 5 days battery life !!!

well, maybe i had minimal usage of the phone back then, but that said, i still used to get 2 n half days(sometimes 3-4 days easily depending on usage) with heavy usage means listening to music,playing games,wifi turned on most of the times,youtube n so on.

Now i have shifted to MIUI, so the battery life has been less than what i mentioned above.

Lets hope MIUI gets rock stable on GS2 as i love it alot and its much better than Samsung's touchwiz !!!

i never did such a test but would be interested whenever i get time.lets see.

Well, atleast my experience with Mugen has been amazing.i have ordered batteries for Mugen before(for the HTC Touch 3470,htc diamond,htc desire HD) and me and my friends have been very happy with our purchase.

For a heavy user,this battery is a must have !!!

@all,

i have been busy for a while and i hope i have answered most of your querries.anything else, kindly ask.would love to have an interaction.

A few screenshots of the MIUI rom im on right now !!!

this is Langthang's MIUI rom for the GS2 with some personalisation by me.

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
As I said, 3rd party batteries rarely (never) reach their rated capacity. Ripoff. Ill rather buy three 2000mah samsung batteries for the price of one Mugen 3200mah (probably 2200-2500mah) and have 6000mah of power at my disposal (not that I need it)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Momax does not sell 3500mah batteries. Mugen and Spider-Foot does. I think your mixing up "Mugen" and "Momax" as the Momax Expower is sold as 2700mah and have 2680mah "true" capacity. And Momax has never been busted on BatteryBoss either.

And the 2400mah "true capacity" rated batts are from Spider-Foot/OEM.

Trust me, I have both the Momax AND the Spider-Foot.

I have NO IDEA how the "Mugen" performs though - it's simply too expensive to buy for "testing" IMHO.

I've actually moved on to the Samsung 2000mah packs myself due to the smaller size - I can't justify the use of the huge Momax when I can't even type properly one handed due to the huge bulge at the back.

But please, get your facts straight about the "Momax" batts as they HAVE been tested by Tids2k and are ONLY 20mah less then the advertised cap (2680/2700mah).

I can understand if you diss the "Momax" battery covers though as they ARE very bad (cheap plastic, hideous design), but the batteries themselves are exceptionally good, at least the ones I had were anyway.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karan999:
With my Mugen Power battery, the performance im getting is as stated in my earlier post as u can read.

I am totally happy with my purchase as i was with my earlier transactions with Mugen for the past 2 years.

As far as quality is concerned, you should have a hands on experience of this battery first, and then (i request) you share your views.

I have also ordered Samsung's official 2000mAh battery for my GS2.

i'll use it as my spare battery if needed.

i hope the experience is good. :)

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stefanofax:
Hi all,

I've got a mugen battery and also the official 2000 mah samsung battery.

I think that the real mugen value is around 2400-2500 mah, because it last half time more then stock one

(1650 mah). Anyway, if someone can suggest me a program or something else to try with more precision the mugen power i can do it. I can only add that since i've bought the 2000 mah battery i've no problem anymore. So the mugen can be useful in some case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] watchpocket:
What are folks using as a case for the Mugen-3200-enlarged SGS2?

I have not found a case anywhere that will accomodate the new size. Has anyone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Holgott:
I am watching out for it on amazon ...nothing that fits my moneybudget :-(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karan999:
I have made a custom leather case that has a belt attatchment facility too.

Will click pics n upload if you guys interested.

it fits the GS2 with Mugen Power battery perfectly fine.

If you'll want, i can ship it at your place too.

PM me if anyone wants the leather case.

Regards,

Karan.

Update -

Recent screenshot taken on CheckRom V4 before upgrading to V6.

Minimal use of the phone.

frequent ups indicated are those due to automatic charging while phone connected to my computer via usb for file transfer.

Minimal wifi use, minimal video watching and music.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] beston94:
So would you say that this battery could easily give you 12 hours of screen time? Or more ? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] siregorash:
It seems to be cool. But anyone from Slimrom + Phennomenal tested this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karan999:
lol...it can be true !!! :D

Well, i have watched 4 full HD 1080p movies (3mp4 and 1mkv encoded) at full brightness(on MX video player) at full 100% battery charge.

Results ? I was still left with 3% battery power.

Today, i had been to Mumbai(a city around 160Kms from the place where i live) for a short fun trip.Was in the roaming zone.took 158 photos all at 8mp resolution, made more than 10 phone calls.Screen brightness was around 90%.

yet, i return home back with 76% from full charge !!!

Now thats performance !!! :)

Not yet....im happy with CheckRom and the default kernel.

Karan.

[MENTION=1389698]karan999[/MENTION] so it's 2013 now and how is the battery lasting now? Like is it still performing as well since you bought it, cause I might be considering to buy one sooner or later, would love to have your opinion of the battery performance now.

Cheers. :silly:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karan999:
Hi friend!

i lost my Galaxy S2 this year in February. But i remember, the battery life till the last day i cherished my S2 was spectacular.

The customer service from Mugen is second to none. Now that i have a Galaxy S3, i am soon going to buy the S3 extended battery by Mugen too.

You must immediately consider buying this battery before the stock is out. worth every penny.

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sien1996:
Thanks dude for the reply and your opinion, I did ask them and they said they are still supplying this battery especially in Asia and Middle East, so good for me, maybe nearing August i'll pick one up since I want to tire ot my original battery first, well thanks a lot and take care.

[Blade Themes and Apps] plegdroid:
you can change the frame rate to a faster rate, use something like absolute system root, and change with the bootanimation zip text editor :)

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] SWEATTAIMI:
Other way to install.

Open titanium backup.

Backup current market.

Uninstall current market.

Reboot and install the new one.

Yes there is changes 1, after installed and opened the market. It will ask you to allow the app with your Google account. Twice,

Also the apps that we got will tell us that ICS will be more secure ;) just saying

Then it will ask you to accept the license terms,

And its a little bit of new ui ;) real nerds see that

can be edited, however tough i think its real, but i just telling :D
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] warfenix:
Cant change permissions? I set them but they change back. Fc when I open

Nm fixed it working great
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] SWEATTAIMI:
Were you able to install any app mine did fc :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Human_dude_007:
Worked like a charm:-)ty..
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] warfenix:
Yra apps are installing fine :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] SWEATTAIMI:
ok then its a permission problem =)

oh and btw, its a bit new ui, and some "a bit more safety market"

just so u know dax, x)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Mickyvai:
the new market is fantastic! I was still on the previous version, the one without the blocky design. I have to admit it was way faster, though :(
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] IamIrene:
Wth I cant do it

So before I push,i copy the vending.apk and marketupdater.apk

Then I use back old vending.apk push back and install

okay no problem

Then I install market 3.1.5 version

And keep pop out market.process force close

How to do ?

it act as normal application

Not system application

Once uninstall = gone

is it the only solution is reflash whole rom ?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] warfenix:
You should have backed up market. Then uninstall, reboot phone, use file expert or whatever root access file manager you have and move the new vending.apk to system/app. Once in system/app change the permissions to what's in the screen shot in fist post. Then again reboot phone and then open market.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] DaXmax:
I know, if its fc, becuz it only works on Android 2.3.5 and above...
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] DaXmax:
Wait for Market v4... And also later i add ICS Goodies....
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] warfenix:
Im on bumblebee 2.2.1 and its working finr
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] DaXmax:
I meant Cyanogenmod... Use the latest Update from mik...
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] IamIrene:
nvm i reflash the rom via kdz
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] SWEATTAIMI:
That works too lol

I'm using ICS, What do you use ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] warfenix:
Only thing I have noticed and if someone else could check is that when I click on the option to send the delevoper an email it fc. Tried on different apps to make sure it wasnt to a specific app.

How would I go about doing this sso I can sell it? I'm currently on a 3.5 rom.

Same problem here (warranty exchange). I've done everything recommended here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 but when I rune the .exe, I get an error [155] (incorrect ruu). I have searched everywhere for an up-to-date RUU, but have not had any luck.
[HTC Sensation] craig1965:
You need to change your cid number to correspond with your carrier if you search the forums there is a list of them I presume you know how to go about this as you would have to have the super cid 11111111 or Eu HTC__001 to flash another Ruu other than your carriers
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Change Cid number? Why would I have to do this? I've never messed with that before.
[HTC Sensation] craig1965:
My apologies I presumed you had installed a unbranded firmware prior to rooting

Normally you have to change the cid to do this as the gold card method won't work
[HTC Sensation] gallaxxeess:
I followed a thread here to return to S-ON and then flashed the newest RUU from the post that lists all of the RUU's for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
alright I've been reading and I'm still a little confused.

Basically, I have an s-off sensation with root and a rom. It's a T-Mobile sensation. I never debranded or anything like that.

What exactly do I need to do to return to stock as if I just bough it? I also noticed there are two TMOUS ruu files....which one do I use?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, lets begin

When you S-OFF'd the HBOOT changed to a newer one than your stock, TMOUS ROM. Because of this, you NEED Super CID to be able to go to a lower HBOOT. So that's why you need to change to it.

Once done, you can flash the stock 1.29.531.2 RUU. Once this has completed, you can change the CID back to the TMOUS one and then go back to S-ON and voila - one stock, ready to sell Sensation
[HTC Sensation] {LCD}Stelios:
Has any one got the Vodafone UK ROM please?

Cancel that. The download hasn't got that long left, so I'll just wait for it to finish.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Thanks....so how exactly would I do this super CID thing? lol

So basically...do super cid thing, flash stock RUU, then super cid again? Sorry, I've never really done much other than flash roms, so I don't know what this cid stuff is.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You should've really learnt all this before jumping in as you should always know how to get out of something before you go ahead with it.

The guide you followed to S-OFF has the Super CID procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

However, before changing it you need to make a note of your current one. To do so, you need to run the following fastboot command:

fastboot getvar cid

Once done, use the guide above to write the Super CID. This will allow you to flash the 1.29.531.2 RUU.

Then, using the same procedure as writing Super CID, write your old one back. Then follow the guide to get S-ON

Having said all that, you could just try flashing the 1.29.531.2 RUU and if it works then follow the guide to go back to S-ON - it may work
[HTC Sensation] akbisw:
I have tried to change it to 111111... but the exe gives me the error nontheless. What do i change the CID TO?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ffxij:
Hi Everyone,

Im looking for a little help on going from my rooted droid x2 (gingerbreak root) to stock gingerbread, which I can then re-root with the MotorolaOneClickRoot.

They explicitly say that it doesnt have great results with OTA gingerbread coming from a rooted froyo, so I figure it would be safest to go to stock gingerbread.

My question would be... Since gingerbreak has an "unroot" option, can I just unroot the gingerbreak and get the OTA update for gingerbread? I was told by someone I have to SBF into the stock gingerbread, but would the unroot -> ota update be essentially the same thing?

That was my plan, but if there is an easier way to go from gingerbreak rooted froyo to rooted gingerbread, im open to suggestions.

Thanks!

*edit: just a note - I did try to search for answers on the forums, and im still searching for answers, but im having a hard time finding this specific situation. I would rather do the OTA update if possible, since I know next to nothing about installing custom roms etc. If I HAVE to do that, a link would help also. I apologize if the question has been answered before... I just want to have a pretty good idea what to do before I get into it.
