[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] northmont30096:
Hello again guys. Ask and you shall receive. When we first take our batteries to market we're stuck with whatever plastic covers have been put on the market in China because it is so expensive to do your own tooling which is why the first plastic cover was the glossy one that many of you did not like.

However, yesterday we released our new matte cover that has a slip resistant finish. This cover will displace the mirror covers in the next few weeks but it will probably take Amazon at least two weeks to sell through their inventory before the new cover is in stock.

The new cover will fit Seidio, Samsung and any of the cheap china batteries as well.

We are however selling them separately starting today on ebay. If you order it and you have previously purchased the Trexcell battery please send us a message on Ebay with either your Amazon order number or date of your ebay order and we will credit 50% of the order back to your paypal account.

I hope XDA allows us to post the link..we're not trying to spam you with advertising only address some of the complaints in this forum.

Now that's customer service. I only wish you offered a 3800 for my og epic 4g. I ordered your battery for my wife's et4g and its fantastic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BDR456:
Will you guys be making a matte finish tpu case?

I have 2 of your batteries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superm3:
Thanks for the reply. I have a cheap external wall charger and it doesn't fully charges my battery. Its that one that I bought from ebay hat came with 2 extra batteries. Its good to know that I don't need to buy a new wall charger. I'll just use my phone to charge it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I noticed that the top and bottom thickness still looks the same. Do you know if this will fit into the sprint holster with this installed? Also with the tpu case will do you know if it will fit in the seidio innocase holster?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
After having this a few months is the battery still performing well? I read about the andida batteries not working well after a few months. I just ordered the Trexcell off amazon and am just wondering how well it will still sholds up to months of use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I just ordered one of these with the tpu case from amazon as well. While I agree that it does make the sleek phone no longer look slim and pretty, I will take performance over sleekness. Just a hastle to swap out the battery and everyday because of the case that I have on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Can somebody link me to a charger that works with this battery. I thought the one I had would work but it isn't quite deep enough to make contact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stc1:
I ordered an external charger from Amazon . It should be here by Monday 4-19. I'll let you know how well it works. If not there is a way to modify some of the cheap china made products by bending the contact pins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I don't have much experience using tpu or gel cases.I have the tpu case for the phone with the Trexcell battery installed. I have an issue with the power button being hard to press and the volume buttons pressing if I just get close to them. Are these "normal"for tpu cases or is there something wrong with the one I have?

Sent from this here E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I guess that depends on how you "define" hard to press

harder than without? sure hard enough to be a problem? not for me.

volume also worked fine for me. no sensitivity. I would attribute that to "defective case" Ie not a good enough fit?

mine are squishy and "harder to press" than without but not hard enough to worry me.

also sometimes I would "miss" the buttons since its harder to feel them. that might be what your feeling?

but the sensitivity sounds like fitment issue.

"CUT" out the volume section so it no longer covers then like the openings for the power port etc..

do the same for the power button.

there you go no more issues and you retain the protection of a case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Good idea on cutting out the button coverings. I have a small exacto knife that will work great.

Sent from this here E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
not sure how TPU reacts to being cut. ie is it a runner or stretcher?

so I would use the "tip" and make all CURVY cuts so you have no residual "slices" in the material to cause a run. its thin and easy to cut should not take more than a few seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stc1:
My tpu cover buttons are stiff as well. What I did to fix it was to take an exacto razor knife and cut a couple of slits on the inside of the case around the divit that makes contact with the phone power button. You only need to cut about halfway through the material. Its best if you cut a continuous oval so it doesn't start a tear.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2niceguy:
thank you.

i'm going to order one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
these batteries are great after conditioning. i mean epic batt life fersher. i had like 9hrs screen on time and 22 hrs off charger and still had 15% left. finally fell asleep before i could drain it fully :eek: i don't know if ill go back to 1800
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
So will this fit into the seidio spring clip holster without the tpu case on it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bandu007:
Is anyone having gps issues with the Trexcell cover on? With the cover on I can't get a fix using gps status. I take the cover off (while the phone is running) and the gps status starts getting a fix immediately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Woah, that is so weird. I tested it just so I could tell you that that's a silly theory, but I really did see a difference. It always takes me a while to get a lock; took off the cover and it went much faster. I used the app GPS Test to tell me how many satellites my phone could see, and when I put the cover back on, the number of satellites and their signals dropped. Took it back off and the numbers increased. Does this plastic have lead paint or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tripsyk:
I am having no problems with this battery. It is hands down the best $20 I've ever spent. Also to keep in mind, if you are running an ICS Rom on your 4G Touch, the GPS is broken in most of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I have a question about charging the battery. I got an external charger for it that has adjustable charging terminals. I looked on the battery and it has the outer contact point marked as positive but the negative is between the middle contact and the other outer contact. Do I need the terminal pins on the charger touch the 2 outer contact points on the battery or with the middle and one and the one marked positive? In other words is the negative the middle contact on the battery or the outer one? I hope this makes sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bandu007:
I am suspecting the same thing. I believe the paint and/or the shiny surface of the back door is causing a problem. I emailed Trexcell regarding the problem. I am considering getting the matte version or the mugen extended back door. The battery itself is working great so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Not 100% on this but I am pretty sure its always the OUTER TWO contacts.

on MOST of the uni chargers polarity is irrelevant since it "auto detects" so it "SHOULD" not be possible for you to harm it.

can't guarantee that though :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bandu007:
I am running Calkulin's E4GT v2.9.2 with EL29 radio. My gps works fine with the stock back door. It is only when I put on the shiny trexcell back door that I have a problem. I agree that the battery itself is great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imakul8:
+1, I would like to know this answer as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I just noticed an issue today and I was wondering how I can resolve it. If my battery has less than 30% power left, my phone will not boot up. My phone is usually on or rebooted but hardly ever powered off. Today I had to turn it off and I had 28% battery left. It was for about 15 minutes and when I powered it on it would not go past the first splash screen. Another battery started it up just fine. I charged the trexell battery and put it back in and the phone booted right up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
...havent noticed any gps issues. with gloss cover AND TPU case. also have not tried gps status tho, but i got a lock instantly. it stood on for 45 min ride, and was accurate.

..as far as the 30% charge bug .. um.. i shall let you know sometime tomorrow or the next, as my phone is full right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
If anybody else has an issue with the power button while the tpu case is on, I found a simple, quick, and cheap solutions. I put a small piece of black electrical tape on the inside of the case where the power button goes. Just a single layer was enough to fix my issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaycup:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imakul8:
Ordered mine and tpu yesterday.. can't wait to get away from the charger. I tried everything to no avail.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] casperlt1:
I also just got this in the mail a few days ago and must say this thing is phenomenal imo.Running blazer, UC 800mhz, well over a day with texting/games/calls throughout.Will post up a screenshot once I've conditioned it a bit more.So far, amazing purchase, definitely recommended.Also like that it weights the phone a bit more, and the extended case is a nice rest for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stc1:
Yes the two outer contacts are the ones to connect the charger terminal to. I just received my "Anker universal charger and it does automatically recognize the polarity of the battery. You do have to set up the pins to line up with the battery though. What I did is put the pins all the way to the right side and then made a spacer to fit in the slot that allows the pin adjustment. I still have to line the battery up each time but I'm working on a guide for that issue as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] casperlt1:
Only drained it 3 times so far, I'm sure it will get better with more conditioning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
On calks 2.9.1 (I think that's what I was on. I'm a flashaholic.) I actually broke two days on this battery. Unfortunately I don't have proof but I promise it is true. I was friggin shocked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuvThyMetal:
I thought the S2 already had good battery life??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imakul8:
Good as Seidio

I had the Seidio extended battery for my Evo 4G. I paid $70 bucks for it and this Trexcell seems just as good. I love the tpu case. It really does feel good in the hand. Don't sleep on this combo.

Here's some screenshots from my first full charge. You can see that I actually used my phone. I was using Wifi Tether with 4G and Power Amp at the same time. So I know I can get much more battery. :D Also here is the link to the combo I originally purchased. The Trexcell battery with tpu case fit perfectly in the holster. I'm too happy with this set-up. :D The Seidio Surface holster should work as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
It has average battery life. Hand me your E4GT i can kill it in 6 hours and so can you. I usually get 12 to 21 hours depending. Remember 16 hours is a full day. The RAZR MAXX for example has a 3300 Mah Battery. It can go screen on doing whatever for about 16 hours. Give us the same size battery and you can walk around outside max brightness without turning the screen off hammering the cpu and data connection for hours on end non stop. Those not abusing the phone will get a couple days out of it easy.

Some people work outdoors taking battery life to a different extreme. Some of us like to run things that wake lock and use the data connection up. Others use their phones non stop. While the average person and also those getting 30 hours of life don't fit into those areas, the rest of use can use a large battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamBlue:
I went from a HD7 to Radar, thinking I don't need space if I can stream music. But I haven't been successful.

Spotify - Sporadically works. Not enough to make it worth $10 a month. Support says they don't support the Radar. They know there are issues.

Rdio - Can't get it to stream often enough, or it's too slow.

Rhapsody - Can't play music. Streams radio stations fine.

Zune Pass - Streams almost 100% of the time, but no easy way to manage/create playlists. This makes it cumbersome to just enjoy music while driving/working out.

Obviously this could be due to data coverage, but I'm in the DFW area, usually with full bars of 4G.

Any other apps you guys use? Any that stream from a home connection like Google Music allows? Mango support is a must.

I have a zune pass , as well as a premium slacker account , which is surprisingly robust. I have also used the google music beta here for wp7. I have not tried Spotify. I stay away from monthly charges when I can , so I did the 1 year Zune pass for $100 . Seems to be the best value . I like getting new releases instantly . But I also never really mess with playlists. The smart DJ feature seems to work really well for a Pandora-esque substitute if you're looking to stay in a genre .

There are a lot of options out there . But Zune pass seems to be the most convenient for me

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, IT WAS MY FAULT, MY ZIP EXTRACTOR MALFUNCTIONED AND EXTRACTED FAULTY FASTBOOT. Sorry for the confusion

Hey guys!

I've been running into this problem for about 24 hours now, and through all of my searching I have found nothing. The problem has to do with downgrading hboot on a new Inc2 Red: I can't seem to get even temporary root from zergRush. The error is as follows:

writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

I have tried on 3 OSes (Ubuntu, Windows Vista, Windows XP), done it both through the automated scripts and manually, and yet I get the exact same error. I have previous experience with rooting, though not through terminal (I do have much experience with terminal though).

zergRush claims to have worked, and

fastboot oem rebootRUU

and

fastboot erase cache

both work.

So many thanks ahead of time.

Sounds like the ROM.zip file may be corrupt. Have you tried redownloading the Downgrade Kit again and compared the MD5 checksum? Better yet why not download the RUU/ROM.zip directly from the Development section?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
+1 the RUU file is definitely corrupted, if you check its MD5 file, it will confirm the error. Use the original link(s) to d/l again, check the MD5 and then flash it, your adb/fastboot should be working, just run adb from the command line and watch it go to work, took less than 10 minutes to update/downgrade. Then, power off & reboot into Recovery, check it as you should be good to go. The bootloader (HB.98) has been unlocked & downgraded to HB.97 - once you finish the above steps & get SU on the mSD card to run, you device will truely be rooted and ready for the optional custom ROMs of choice. Be sure to do a CWM Recovery along the way.
