[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
I Don't Currently Own Any Tablet.

I Do Not Currently Own Any Tablet.

I Do Not currently own transformer 1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
If you don't OWN a tablet... then.... I would buy a Tablet.

The Vibrant is still a decent phone.

What I would do is buy the Transformer 1 on sale once the TF2 is announced/released (fire sales to flush stock) which the Transformer 1 can be had for ~ $350 now. If you can find one for $250 or $300, thats a steal... then same the other $200-$250 toward the Nexus Prime on contract when it drops (or those .01 sales!)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
Lot of desire owners gathered :D

I have a desire too and a transformer.I think the wisest is to get a galaxys nexus :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunswick:
I also have an HTC Desire lol :D :D :D

I have TF1 which is what, 6 months old now and still the best current android tablet (IMO obviously). The hardware is not out of date on TF1 - the software needs some tweaks. Like the stupid browsers lagging on text input or not playing 720p/1080p videos properly despite a dual core processor ?!!?!?!?!

ICS will give those tweaks to the TF1 and make it bang on what I bought it for. TF2 if you dont have a tablet will be future proof for ages due to ICS and quad core, plus good design and laptop replacement qualities.

TF2 could really start to replace a laptop, my TF1 already has for the vast majority of situations.

Its hard as you dont own a tablet to know what to reccomend. I think buying a 2nd hand or on sale TF1 when TF2 is released and then save up for the phone would be what I would do.

Padfone could be another option to get both phone and tablet in one integrated swoop.

Wait until TF2 comes out in a couple of weeks (Nov 9th) and then check the padfone details then decide.

That said my desire is beginning to feel a little old and slow now but like your vibrant for the vast majority of uses its fine - I do heavy work/shopping/vidoes on TF1 now anyway so the phone spec is less important for me.

OVERALL: Pick the tablet, it will be a bigger change to your life that a slightly faster/newer phone which still runs the same apps and works fundamentally the same - the tablet is a very different beast to a phone and will be more of an experience because of it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
I'm leaning towards Galaxy Nexus, I have no clue why. lol

Such a hard decision.

I wish the price and carreirs for Nexus were annouced. Hope the Verizon exclusive is not too long.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No_u:
Just had to post saying I got a Desire too ;)

I'm quite confident that both my Transformer and Desire will get Ice Cream Sandwich within a month, so I've got stuff to look out for already :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sdas683:
So I found this battery on Amazon about a week ago for $12.99.. Ordered it and I am extremely impressed. Running Stock Rom + Root, constant use daily.I was really getting pissed off with the battery that came with the phone, it just doesn't do it justice.

Pro's - Been using the phone (50% Brightness, Downloading videos, youtubing, texting, phone calls, tinkering with GO Launcher stuff, almost played through a whole game of Words with Friends) Came off the charger at 3 P.M. today, legit screen on using the phone action about 4-5 hours tonight and it's now 11:25 P.M., battery is just hitting 65%! Extremely impressed with the performance of this battery and would recommend it to anyone that needs some extra juice.

Cons - It makes the phone about twice as thick towards the bottom half (I actually like this, it makes it much easier to hold on to and just grip in general). Also adds a significant amount of weight to the phone but nothing annoying, just saying.

UNSURE - Not sure about the NFC Capabilities of the battery, no one around me here has a phone with NFC so I can't test it... Honestly for the performance I could give a S*** less about NFC whether I keep it or lose it.

<Amazon Product ID> (Too few posts to hyperlink yet): B005Q75A84

Link for purchase: http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-Capacity-Replacement-compatible-vertically/dp/B005Q75A84

I'll also upload a couple photos for ya'll to see what it looks like. :cool:

Awesome price! Great buy for trip battery.

Sadly with that thickness, I would rather club baby seals :(

Nice find, going to have to think about this buy some more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
so are you able to charge normally? or is it like the other batteries where it throws you into a boot loop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Just got an extended battery myself. Yeah it's thicker but using a phone all day without worrying about charging it, worth it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smitty1:
Yeah, I just ordered this one too.

I had one on my captivate and I really liked it.

What does it matter if your phone is thin but you keep getting warnings that you need to charge it?

On my captivate if I got down to half of the battery with the larger battery I didn't have to worry, I had good 8 hours of use left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sdas683:
Just confirmed it does NOT have this boot-loop issue common with the aftermarket batteries. Operates the exact same as the stock battery, still unsure of the NFC capabilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Thanks, just bought mine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaveUSAF:

Have you found a case to fit your sg2 with the new battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DuMnUt101:
I just ordered mine. I'll post back if I have any complications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sdas683:
Haven't found a case that fits over the new battery yet. If you find one please let me know!

what about the taurus bumper case? theres a thread to it on this page
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zxdong:

It seems good.

Thanks

just received mine yesterday over 20 hours still 65 percent battery remaining. Will post a screenshot when the battery gets to 10 percent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gqonmars:
Sorry, but I think GTmax stuff is not that good, I purchased 3 batteries made by GTmax, there is no description of mA with just some generic label. Also, out of the 3, 2 were junk lasting only about 10hours with minimal use. Only one battery was decent, pretty close to OEM.

Also, looking at the battery debug info *#*#INFO#*#*, these batteries are more volatile than OEM, as the amps and temperture fluctuate more than normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DuMnUt101:
Good Battery Possible Bad Cover?

I turned my phone off to put this new battery in. I fully charged it before turning it on.

It lasted 42 Hours before it died.

I was running Bluetooth, Pandora and Wifi Medium-Heavy Duty.

So the battery seems good, But it seems the back cover wasn't crafted all that well UNLESS I just got a bad one. It seems like a corner of it won't stay pressed down. Its not a huge gap, but it is somewhat noticeable.

Is anyone else think that their back cover doesn't fit all that well or is it just me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
Can someone post some pics of this on your phone?

The pics on Amazon don't show it on the phone and don't show a side-view of the new back cover.

...nevermind, pics in first few posts. company blocked the images
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HTC Chris:
Got mine earlier today :) I will post back if there are any issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tripleam:
I clicked the link from the OP and it sent me to the i777 battery on amazon. Just bought it for $12.40! 59 cents cheaper! :highfive: hopefully it works because the battery the phone came with doesn't even last me half a day with mild use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
working good for me. I think I'm getting about 50 to 75 percent more time than stock battery. definitely worth the small amount of money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
I received mine today and they sent me the wrong cover. The cover looked like the one on here, and the top part by the camera hole is cracked. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006SK5GK0/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
I got the same cover you did, too. the picture on the actual item is wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
I guess I bought it from a different seller that wasn't in the op. I didn't know two people had the same Amazon product from what I saw. I messaged the seller to see if I can exchange for another cover at least. Is the battery working fine for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
my battery seems good. I'd say 50 percent increase in capacity. for 12 or 13 bucks that is not so bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
I've been very pleased with the battery. Under heavy use today, for instance, from full charge:

15h 50m on battery

28% left

5h 31m screen time

1h 6m phone time

lots of web surfing, facebook, games, etc.

For me, getting over 6 hours of screen time (biggest battery drainer) is great when I'd normally get about 4 hours with stock battery, is worth 13 bucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocogi73R:
Just finished first full charge/discharge. It was connected to my PC for about a minute to transfer a file. I'll post another screenshot after a few cycles.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
newest update:

i just realized that the back cover is the wrong one and i did not receive neck strap.

this is the item i ordered: 15.95$

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Q75A84/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

and, they shipped this: 9.99$

http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-Capacit..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334404480&sr=1-1

wow...

i just emailed the seller, and i will keep you guys updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Yeah. Same thing happen to me. It's ok though I got use to that back cover and I'm not mad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
newest update: 11-5-2012

I filed a claim yesterday thru Amazon, they sent me back an email saying that,

they're sorry that they sent the wrong order,

they sent the correct back cover + lanyard to me now.

I will keep you guys updated when I receive them.

p.s

Also, the battery that they shipped to me is finally died, I left the wi-fi on for 3 days, and was running some other programs in the background,,,

and playing "draw something", web, etc... --heavy stuff +mixed

I just started recharging it like 2 hours ago.

after it finishs charging, i will complete drain the battery, then recharge it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
What's funny is when I received my package the battery cover was cracked and I told them to send me another one. I sent back both the cover and battery, and then a week later they sent me 2 orders hahah.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
haha,

newest update as: 11.10.2012

ok,

so I received the cover, but the lanyard is not the same as the one showing in the picture..

it's black, just plain black, no logo, no nothing..

the battery, it seems drain pretty fast from 100% - 80%

it's very stable at 60% - 0%,

i cycled the battery 1 time, from opening's 60% - 0%, then charged 100% overnight, then 0%

I emailed the seller, they seem pretty nice. they said they will replace one if i really need too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Yeah, my battery is like that too. Most of the time I keep my data off to save battery life and turn it back on only when I need to. Also I calibrated it in Extweaks and it will show you the real usage left and it was pretty low, then from there I charged it and it wall good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
what ROM do you use?

what's the application for Extweaks?

newest update: 11.12.2012

Here is the picture of the back cover that "Can I Cell you something" in the OP link re-sent.

the lanyard is not the same as the one showed in the item list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
I am on SHOstock2 ROM. Extweaks is the name of the application. Ah you got the right back cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
I'm having hard time fiting this backcover...

leftside just won't fit in..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
With the different cover I started from the bottom then to the top and press until it clicks on. Unless yours is the other way around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
yeah,

I did that,

the top just wont clip

so, im back on this cover: View attachment 1475438

It's so funny that, the cover that i supposed to get doesn't fit,

and the cover that was shipped wrong, fits.

:silly::silly::silly::silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
That's weird, but I guess using the first cover they sent and it feels comfortable to hold onto.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
Extweaks give me this...what's wrong...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
I forgot to tell you Extweaks only works with the Siyah Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
Yeah....

So here is another screen shot of battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
You should post your screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
I don't know if it's the battery but I get a lot of freeze lockups on my phone. Currently on Shostock 2. Maybe I should try the stock battery to see if it's just the extended battery that freezes and lockups the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrprince123:
How to do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Speaking of shostock 2, its an awesome rom. But I've been getting a lot of freezes that end in force closes too. I'm using the stock battery though (looking at other options though)

Have you tried Shostock3 JB beta? I am just waiting until it's final or fully stable to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
I actually tried flashing it yesterday and I thought I got stuck in a boot loop at the shostock3 logo. I restored with nandroid. I want to try it and all 4 buttons work with the most recent jebo kernel.

I'm not sure what I did wrong because I wiped the data. I will probably try flashing the next beta update. Its probably not long until the official kernel is found though.

I know it's been a while, but, do you remember where you got yours from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
After 4 months of use I am starting to notice the battery takes longer to charge. I haven't notice a difference in battery life compared to the stock battery. When I do charge the battery, the battery percentage seems to go down and not up. Also, it drains a lot quicker now. I will be ordering the QCell extended battery which has better reviews. My brother has one and he seems to get better battery life than mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spenserj87:
I've used this battery and it works great. I only use for all day events, camping, or other situations where I'm not sure I'll be able to plug in. I like the option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Responsibility:
So I have a similar battery by Seido but my back cover broke, have any of you been able to find a replacement cover for an extended battery? all the ones i've seen include the battery...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Nope. I guess you have to buy another battery in order to get a new back cover. Try messaging the seller and ask if they only sale the back cover.

Any body has tried using it with ShoStock3??

I had tried using a new stock battery on it.. but it ended up in bootloops.. so I am trying to take precaution before buying it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZARuslan:
With stock battery of i777 shouldn't be any bootlops. It happens only with battery's without NFC. Try to wipe cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] miten_sheth:
Actually I had used a battery which was for the s2 launched in India.. and I got this from the US.. probably thats why.. I will try doing what you told..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZARuslan:
I think battery for s2 i9100 will not work on stock firmware. It causes bootlops and phone can't charging with that battery, when he turned off. With non stock firmware it should work( aokp/aosp). We have big discussion about it on Russian forum (4pda).

I am not on stock firmware anyways.. I am on ShoStock3 with ajk kernel..

But your rom is based on a Samsung firmware. It will not work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DuMnUt101:
If you are looking at the back of the phone (the battery side). The top left corner won't stay clipped in.

I'm not quite sure what you are meaning by trim around the camera area cut out.. It seems the camera cut out fits fine around the camera lens. Can you give more details or share a picture?

Yea its nice and snug just a slight gap that didn't get snapped in in the top left corner (battery side)

No, I have not experienced any charging issues either.

I really actually like the bump. The phone is still really light and the bump makes the phone sit nicely in the palm of your hand vs trying to squeeze your finger tips together to not drop the dang thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tenkie:
I just got mine today....first and quick impression is that it fits perfectly...nothing popping out.I had to put a little pressure for it to close though.

Are there any cases besides the $40 Taurus?
