[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanzeon:
I have a Samsung Focus. I installed an sd card, which required a hard reset. Now, it works fine, but the alphabetical grid for the apps is gone. It's still there for contacts. Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Only appears once there are at least 45 apps in the list. Reinstall the apps that were lost when your phone was wiped, and the jump list will return.

You can use the Windows Phone Marketplace website for an easy way to re-install apps. You won't be charged again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinchy87:
the grid you mean the a b c and so on...? that comes with a number of installed apps. i dont know how many but i think over 40. but i am not sure of that how many. but that is the reason why there is no grid...

Everything is being stickied nowadays.. irritating...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DannyBiker:
Yes this sticky is a mistake but I do find that with the work being done on various kernel these days, the kernel's threads being sticked is a good idea. Once they've all come to a mature state, it will be time to unstick them I guess...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tgtoys:
Just trying to get the word out, I felt that this was a very big development and therefore warranted a thread, mainly for the devs. On that note, NRGZ28 felt that it was important enough to be stickied, and he's always been one of the top developers on the HD2, so I'll take his word for it ;)

Let's keep XDA friendly and informative, as it's supposed to be :D

On that note, anyone been able to use this succesfuly on the HD2?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
I don't remember where I saw it, but I remember there being a Samsung Galaxy S II 2000 mAH battery that was NFC-Capable and required no bigger battery door.

Does anyone have the link?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalea:
Search ebay for this: GENUINE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-i9100-ORIGINAL-BATTERY-2000mAh-HIGH-CAPACITY-COVER

I am new to this forum so I can't post a link yet.

I purchased it a few weeks ago for my At&t S2. It works great! When at home on the weekends my battery only goes down to about 70% by the end of the day, before it usually dropped to around 30-40%. Although the battery fits perfect the new cover was made to fit only the Korean version of the phone. I used an xacto knife and trimmed the interfering catches on the sides of the new cover so it fit in place. The end catches of the cover still fit. I then placed the phone in a TPU case which fit perfect without any budges or stretches. Actually feels better to handle and still weighs 8 grams less than my old iPhone 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Luken10:
Looking at the pictures it seems that the new battery cover is every so slightly larger. Is that true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalea:
Yes, the Korean battery cover makes the back of the phone flat instead of dipped at the bottom. Also recesses the camera window slightly which is good to protect it. Same texture on the new cover as the original one. It's too bad Samsung didn't make the catches the same on both covers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pmpntl:
The battery works w/o reboots when charging via USB?

So, does it say "Near Field Communication" on the back of the battery like the original 1650maH one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmunjal:
I have an extra 2000 mAH NFC battery for sale. PM me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalea:
The Korean 2000ma battery does say NFC on the back and I have not noticed any reboots when connected to my PC. I actually don't connect via USB very much, just use Kies air which works good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] link12245:
Would you say that the back would have no problem staying on if you didn't use a case? I have the car dock and a case won't fit, but I think the battery would. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalea:
I have not tried to carry the phone without the external case. Mine won't fall off but doesn't require much effort to pop it off with a finger nail. I would be uneasy to use the Korean back without the external case. I did have to give up my home charger base because of using the external TPU case, but I felt it was justified by the extra protection provided by the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
I have a Ballistic SG case on my phone. Would this battery possibly still fit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I searched and all I'm finding are international sellers, which takes forever and in the past I've gotten several fakes from international sellers. Anyone know if Amazon or a US Seller has this extended ORIGINAL battery?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
I am also hesitant to buy the battery from a foreign 3rd party seller. I spent about an hour and a half on Samsung Korea's website with google translate and I haven't been able to find it for sale on their site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I MAY be going to Seoul in the next couple weeks... if I do end up going I'm def going to pick one of these up :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
So I got the Battery today, the battery cover doesn't fit perfectly. I had to get a buffer and do it to both sides of the insertion cover (left + right) for it to be "snugly", though I went overboard on the right side and it's pretty ugly if you look in between the cracks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Sounds far less than ideal. :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalea:
The less than perfect fit on the battery cover was not an issue for me. I knew of the issue before ordering the battery. What was important was extended battery life and I wanted to put the phone in a light weight case anyway. The TPU case was a perfect fit and affords a better grip then no case. I am running JuiceDefender in auto mode with a very stock AT&T phone. Bluetooth and wifi are always on and two imap email accounts. On work days I'm usually down to around 70% by night, weekends typically 80% left. I use the phone only on a moderate level, no game playing or videos. Just nice to know I have plenty of reserve left just in case I need a heavy use for a few hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Juice defender is so crippling. If you're only using 20-30% all day with JD enabled, why bother? Might as well unleash your phone's full potential, and let it do it's thing. You may only have 20-30% remaining at the end of the day, but as a non-power user, why do you bother using JD? Are you OCD like me and hate seeing less than 75% battery remaining? LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
It fits perfect now, and it's still thinner and lighter than the original Galaxy S (Captivate)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
Any pics? I want to get an idea of how much thicker it gets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
I don't have a camera, but it's as thick as the bump in the back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
Damn. I'm looking at my phone right now, and i don't think the ballistic case would fit over it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
If you're ok with the added thickness just get the Skyrocket, then you get a slightly bigger battery, LTE (where available), bigger screen, etc. There are lots of threads here saying how it's not better. AT&T is a business, they're pushing the new phone because it is better (read: new features, etc). I think the SGSII on ATT will prove to be about the shortest product cycle of any phone ever offered. With Nexus Prime right around the corner, the GSII is going to look like yesterday's news. I know you don't LIKE that, but it's reality. You didn't really think it was going to be the "best" phone for long when ATT didn't pick it up until it was already almost 10 months old, did you?

:-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
The Skyrocket's battery sports 200 mAH more than the stock Galaxy S II battery, not to mention the bigger screen sucks more juice, this extended battery is 2000 mAH.

LTE is good if it's available, and is the only good "feature". Otherwise the screen is a downgrade (same resolution stretched out), battery life is worse, and it has a slower CPU/GPU. Not to mention when hellraiser's complete, we'll have the ability to mirror the International Dev community for roms.

Like the i9000 roms were portable to the i897 (Captivate), we have the i9100 for our i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
False, the same number of backlights are used in a 4.3 and a 4.5 inch screen. Where do you come up with this?

Wow, I need to go back to Best Buy. I had a 32" 1080p screen in my living room, and I upgraded to the new Samsung 70" 1080p screen I didn't realize that the $4000 TV is INFERIOR to my old 32" $400 TV.. Thanks for enlightening me, I need to go running back to Best Buy and complain that they sold me an inferior TV for $4000 and demand my old 32" back because it was better. Wow, you're ridiculous if you seriously think the way you comment.

Yeah, so in a year when our phone is pushing 2 years old, people will just oogle over the fact that you have such cool ROMs on your phones. People said the same exact thing about the Captivate and not upgrading because newer phones have not as many ROMs... when you have a carrier who waits almost a year to release phones the rest of the world has had, you're already behind the curve. It's silly to keep an old phone when there are exciting new hardware technologies coming out every couple months. If you're one who thinks the way you do, then by all means you should be on an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. Android's appeal is staying cutting edge. HSPA is not cutting edge, nor is the SGSII, it's just the current phone until something better comes out... oops, something better came out... the SGSII Skyrocket, and in 2 weeks even better, the Nexus Prime. Oh wait, per you, they're releasing inferior phones now, lol.

Ok gotta run and take my $4000 70" TV back to best buy and get my 32" "superior" TV back....

... so funny how people defend a product they have just because they have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
So what did you just do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Keep in mind your sarcastic response about tv's is true.

1080p displays are a grid of 2,074,000 pixels per frame.

The smaller a tv that can display 1080p will literally have smaller pixels. A larger tv must have bigger pixels. It's not possible any other way. Otherwise it would have a higher resolution than 1080p.

Let's say you are correct that the skyrocket also has the same number of backlights. By that definition the skyrocket screen would not be as bright as the OG sgs II. Not a big difference, but you're the one who decided to start stating 'facts'.

And about the wide variety of roms available on a phone two years from now? HELL YES THAT MATTERS!

Feel free to check out the Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global. The development thread is nearly empty of roms. That was not a good purchase of a phone in a development point of view.

And that's the point you bring up with the skyrocket. I'm not saying no development will get done on it. Obviously a number of people like the skyrocket. But as far as facts go, the OG sgs II WILL HAVE BETTER DEVELOPMENT, it's internationally being sold.

So in two years, the phones that have had better development will be able to make people wonder if they want to upgrade.

You better believe Droid 2 users are jumping for newer phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yeah, seriously... that was my point. Obviously less pixel density isn't a big deal because people like bigger screens for a reason. Why do you think screen size is getting larger and larger on both TV and phones. People WANT bigger screens, even with the same resolution.

Anyhow, not going to argue. In a year you'll look back and realize the ATT version of the SGSII was an interim product, just like many ATT releases.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
Who/where did you get it from? How did you modify the back to fit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Like the first page says, you search up the genuine Korean nfc version and when you get it, buffer the side hooks and that's it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
In other words, CRAM. Problem with that technique w\ the plastics samsung uses, is abnormal strain placed on the sides will eventually lead to "stretching" of the plastics for periods of time, so you'll never have a snug fit again when using the OEM back. Not a big deal if you plan on always using the extended battery, but most people like to use the thin but then go extended as needed.... so this solution isn't ideal. Ran into the same issue with my Infuse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
I was more thinking which e-bay seller specifically. Call me crazy for not wanting to buy from the first result that pops up on google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I was in Seoul 2 weeks ago and the Samsung stores didn't even sell an extended battery, so unless it's brand new (unlikely if it's in the US even shipped), then I'm guessing it's someone making them for samsung, so beware.

I just emailed my colleague in SK and asked him to check.

Right now I have a Case Mate Tough Case for my i777 and I highly doubt it'll cover the battery + battery cover but we'll see!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sleepeeg3:
I considered the SkyRocket... It is a poor option. Faster CPU, bigger screen, LTE that can not be turned off. Review I read said LTE by itself is a big power drain and is somewhat useless with no unlimited data plans from AT&T. The 200mAh is not going to be enough to cover the added power drain. Then you have problems with ROM and case compatibility, faster CPU does nothing practical, fatter phone, etc.

AT&T had the best design for the SGSII, but they had to go and botch it up by minor tweaks that screw up full compatibility.

I am okay with flipping phones on eBay, but I would rather have the SGSII international or a 2000mAh battery that works without modding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Coak5:
I don't know if everyone just passed up on your comment but I think people are neglecting the fact that you ACTUALLY went to Korea and didn't find the extended battery available. The Korean Samsung website also does not have the extended battery in their catalog and typing in the battery model number: EB-K1A2EBEGSTD doesn't get any results. I would say for myself that someone is making fake Samsung batteries but if your friend in Korea has actually found the official batteries instead of fake ones then I would think about purchasing one. Any word back from him/her yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Nobody there has them. Was there personally and jumped over to the mall between flights,... not sure where the info came from that one existed, but it doesn't, and if the Koreans don't make it, it's not real. My guess is it comes from China with a fake samsung logo on it, haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Coak5:
Being Chinese myself and having visited China, I can they make a ton of fake merchandise over there. Although occasionally you will run into an almost authentic piece only to realize it's too good to be that cheap. Hell there was a story of a dude who couldn't afford a Lamborghini on his salary so he decided to build one completely from scratch for himself for less than 3/4 the price of a real Lamborghini.

I don't know how you did it but I just received mine today and buffered out all of the side hooks and it still doesn't fit properly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Coak5:
Shave the side buffers off including the lips...you want the sides to be flat as possible like the stock OEM battery 1650 mAh battery cover it came with. Then you have to carefully shave the bottom left and right hooks vertically half way. It'll fit on but not perfectly but good enough.

Refer to attached pictures.

Hi all, from all the posts earlier, I believe the 2000 mAh deal is genuine, but what about the NFC? Does it work?

To anyone that have the NFC version, can you test with Z-DeviceTest to verify and report your findings? (I'm not sure if Z-DeviceTest able to detect NFC on battery though.)

You can find Z-DeviceTest on Android Market. (Sorry, I do not have sufficient posts to paste any URLs)
