[HTC Sensation] LuckyMethod:
I installed both the new radio Radio_11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16_M and the ICS with Sense that leaked recently (just so people know the new radio has no particular negative effects so far).

The OS is generally laggy compared to the other ICS alpha available without sense, and there are a few issues with applications not updating or not installing properly (usually solved by uninstalling the app, then reinstalling from scratch).

I'm using it as daily driver and so far, so good, but it's definitely not a good version yet.

Also, the boot animation that Robocik slapped on this thing is really, really ugly.
[HTC Wildfire S] sharkman3d:
sadly just had a email from htc today sayin this

"I can confirm that this update will not allow you to unlock the bootloader of this device with the Bootloader unlock software . Chances are this will not happen, we only plan to allow bootloader unlocking with new and upcoming devices."

so looks like we either have to xtc clip this phone or for someone with more brains then htc to come along and solve this
[HTC Wildfire S] No.12:
We have one more solution. We can sell this Wildfire S(sh*t) and buy some other phone. :rolleyes:

no one will buy it. with new Nokia phones with so much storage and have 1ghz. plus so many prefer an iPhone look ace. :p

I'm going to Thailand for vacation next week. I'm hoping to find a phone shop that has one. Tired of waiting. :(

there is a shop down the road from me that does it so if your in north london enfield you would be laughing.

sold my wildfire s few days ago..

im moving to Galaxy tab 7.0 Plus.. getting my unit this saturday.. :)

I already told myself, that I won't buy another HTC phone... that was like 3 phones ago. :mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
If you want to do it do it right.

Who wants just an unlocked bootloader anyways?

S-OFF/Super CID/Unlocked SIM. XTC clip delivers and the price has dropped considerably. I got mine for $55.00 US and did 3 phones so far with it.

One thing I've learned from this forum and from years of working with computers and electronics is most of the time the stock solution...sucks. :)

CM7.2, custom parititions, link2sd. All have made this a great little phone. All because of clipping it.

Got a Galaxy s II now but can't use it till its my birthday which is just over a week away :'(
[HTC Wildfire S] MoneyFist:
I ditched this sack of crap phone and got another HD2 and flashed NAND Android.

The HD2's ported android roms have far more functionality than the WFS (a dedicated Android device) thanks to years of effort from XDA devs also none of that S-on & off crap.

Does anyone know if we will be getting a sense 4.0 port
[Thunderbolt General] nowetdio:
Officially no. Unofficially hell yea!!!
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
This.

And do you mean ICS (Android 4.0) or SENSE 4.0?

In either case, I have a feeling the Thunderbolt will not be able to run so smoothly as a single core phone, but we'll see.
[Thunderbolt General] thoward93:
Do you really think it will be that bad? im running an alpha version and its a little glitchy, but I attributed that to the fact that its an alpha.
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
I dont think its going to be THAT bad. But it's going to be slower than Sense 3.0 or Gingerbread for sure. More features, more CPU/RAM usage, etc..

I am confident the ROM masters around here will cut out all the bloat and crapware, and the Thunderbolt will be capable of running it smoothly enough to be a daily driver... but its still gonna be slower.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
+1 on this post
[Thunderbolt General] ajknoll23:
When do they plan on releasing 4.0 for other phones?
[Thunderbolt General] gcantrell:
Looks like the Sensation got a port of ICS... Sense version is 3.5 though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403859
[Thunderbolt General] cbizzle:
Google has said any phone capable of running Gingerbread is capable of running ICS. With one core, but no overlays like sense, I wouldn't be surprised to see it run as smooth as the stock tbolt today. The Nexus S runs it pretty well, right?

Hi

A 4500mAH Mugen extended battery battery is supposed to be shipping 'soon' for the Note:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html

At that price ($109), i'll be letting someone else sample/report on it first!!

I was expecting the Mugen for the note to be a bit bigger, but it is the same capacity as their extended battery for the S2.

5000mAH Chinese extended battery: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...ith-Back-cover-4pcs-lot-High-wholesalers.html

Chunky!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] theimaginaryage:
I've ordered the Mugen. I'll report back on performance in a few weeks once I've got it and cycled it a couple of times.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] GatesHD:
And I ordered "el cheapo" ;) from ebay. Will report back once it arrives from HK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tefloncoated:
I got the same cheap Chinese battery. Two batteries, wall charger, car USB charger, USB cord - all for around 10 bucks. The batteries are rated at 2500 mA, but get discharged almost twice as fast as the stock one. The wall charger is poor quality, I had to open it to solder the leads back in place.

All that considered, the deal is pretty decent for the price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dt33:
With that price, u can buy 3 extra OEM Samsung Note battery 3x2500=7500mah and still keep the thin look on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Phytrax:
I love the Mugen batteries except none of the cases fit. Does anyone know if the bumper cases fit with the bigger batteries??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dark-Master:
Buy Sanyo Eneloop 5000mAh, multi purpose mobile charger pack. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I wonder if Mugen is going to make an OEM sized one with 3000 mah :) Those are usually, price wise, comparable to the original batteries, and have a little more umff to them! :) But I think 110 dollars for a battery is a little over priced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] kimocal:
On the Mugen Website it now has a product image and it looks like the battery cover has a kickstand. Or is that just a generic image place holder?

**EDIT**

Yes it is a battery cover with built in kickstand. Nice!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
And the expanded cover is available in black OR white (or red?), and it looks much better than I would have expected. Still chunky, but might be easier to hold.

EDIT: wonder what the effect is on the external speaker?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] krash106:
Love Mugen quality batteries, Ive been using them since my dell axim days :)

Anyone know where to get hold of them in Europe to avid customs charges ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I live in Spain, and I have purchased about 4 of these batteries and I have never once paid customs / importation taxes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xeq544:
Looks good, the only thing that worries me is the real capacity. the 30Euro samsung battery says its 2500mah and its really2450-2500 mah battery. But usually, according to tests from the past. Mugen batteries rarely reach 75 percent of their advertised capacity. And thats a ripoff. Ive been considering buying mugen 3200mah for S2, but then I found out its really a ~2600mah battery for sky high price. I will be surprised if this battery proves to have at least 4000mah in the future when someone does a discharge test on this expensive piece of thing.

P.S. also to the wise guy saying he will buy a cheap ebay 5000mah, those are probably even worse than stock sammy battery with double the thickness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Phytrax:
I've bought some other cheap batteries from eBay. I would suspect it's 3500-4000mah. The one Mugen I've had was close to the advertised capacity. I'd say at least 85%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tovarish:
Mugen is a dutch company so you wont need to pay custom duties if you are in the EU.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
According to their website Mugen are based in China
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jpanggy:
How much weight does it add to the unit?

Does it make one hand operation more difficult due to extra thickness? I can sort of manage one hand operation with a lanyard currently.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Sam Suung:
Anyone has bouhgt the Mugen-Battery-Pack and can post some pictures or better still a video?

I'm interested about the dimension/handling of the package and can't find something like that!

Thank's! Best regards!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sims0268:
I'm interested, but it looks lke it will make it pretty thick, and I like the portabilty I have, meaning, I like the fact it fits in my pants pocket without being to bulky. I viewed the phots with the battery and the case it comes with, it will be pretty thick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Mugen are sending me one to review, so once I get it you can expect detailed feedback :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Sam Suung:

Can't wait for ur review about Mugen charger battery. Also wanted to say thanks for ur reviews on YouTube about the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lsquare:
Thanks for doing this and if you can, please test and verify the exact mAh of the battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] hi1:
I am using one now. How do I test the exact Mah. I get up to 24 hours of average 6 to 7 times screen on per hour with each time averaging 1 to 2 Min.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PurpleMelbourne:
I have a cheap Chinese extended battery wuth same chunky type case on the back. The sound is worse and much quieter.

Surprisingly its much easier to hold.

The Mugen might be a bit thiner so maybe better sound and maybe even better to hold?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PurpleMelbourne:
My cheap "5000mah" has just hit 1% after 12:20 and 5:10 sxreen time :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Er, that's not very good at all. My stock battery hits 4 hours screen time with 16-20+ hours total use. Seems like you got what you paid for!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Happyshrapnel:
Agreed.My stock battery lasts approx two days with just under six hours screen time. I be brought a couple of official batteries which I take with me if I m going on a long trip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
just comparing the time is useless as battery use would be significantly affected by signal strength. My old htc desire would last through a working day if in a good signal area (greater than 10ASU forgot the dbm value) but would run flat in a few hours if in a bad signal area of around 111dbm strength or 0-2 ASU and i think had posted about that about 2y ago on here and elsewhere.

Think of it like lying next to someone (without doing anything) and waking up fresh in the morning or bonking all night and getting tired and without energy in the morning. Deliberately used the word bonking as that whats your phone is literally doing in a poor signal area when it is trying to latch on to a weak signal all the time. Thats even before you compare what one considers "light or medium or heavy usage" as whats light for one might be heavy for the other. Guess someone more technically minded will have a better explanation than using the word bonking. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
So anyone bought this yet?

I'm literally so about to get this. But I will only get it if there's a case for it. omg
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] wwweagle:
look so huge

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PurpleMelbourne:
Seidio have a nice case for one phone they make an extended battery for. Their "Active" is similar to Otterbox "Commute". Holster and big battery. Better holster than Otterbox.

Maybe Seidio will also get interested now with US release. I emailed back in November and they "had no plans for the Note". But if there is profit they will.

Cross your fingers and maybe we get extended battery, nice case and holster from Seidio for $140
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tee3D:
Wait & see how its work...;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lightfire:
Love the Seidio active with a different phone and hope they do release for note - would be great if they made one for this big battery.

BUT, the holster would not hold the phone and I consider it a bad design.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Got mine today, will need charging etc, feedback to follow.

Mugen Review

I have finally able to calibrate the Mugen battery for at least 6-7 times. I am now easily getting about minimum 30 hours (with 10% left) and around 35 hours typically. This is with Greenpower on, RocketRom v19, and with Fast Dormancy ON, Luz governor. This implies that i can charge my phone on the 2nd night just before I go to bed as compared to charging everyday.

I have not tried this before, but i suspect if you turn EVERYTHING on, it will still yield about 24 hours.

I am very satisfied with this product as it does provide the MaH it is manufactured for.

The bulk takes precedence for me as I prioritize battery life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] pepeto2001:
could you please post new "total weight" of the note?...

And some photos for comparison with and without the new battery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PurpleMelbourne:
I don't have a Mugen. But with cheap extended battery my Note is 236.1g ±.06

That should allow you an educated guess on the Mugen :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
I just got this battery this week from a friend who had a galaxy note got rid of it before it arrived. He tried to sell it but decided just to give it to me after he did not get any bites on craigslist.

It is big! The instructions say to charge and discharge it 5 times for full capacity.

Will post some pics tonight. It is 70 here in Dallas and I am going to ride my bike!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
Here are some pics of the Mugen 4500 mAh battery. To be sure...it is big. I have only cycled it twice. The instructions recommend 4-5 full charge discharge cycles and charging with the phone on for 8-12 hours.

All I know is it takes a long time running netflix on wifi to get the battery discharged. If you use the GNote as your primary phone, it makes it a bit thicker and heavier, but it sure does last. If you change SIM's like I do, it can turn your GNote in to a little tablet/netflix watching marathon machine when traveling! The back has a lttle box around the speaker so the sound comes out fine and does not get muffled in the back cavity.

I use a Garmin 5 inch GPS case with velcro front and the GNote fits inside fine with a regular battery, TPU case or with the Mugen extended battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] hobs0n:
The Mugen battery is really interesting, especially of the built in flip works good :) Id love to hear more about it!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AdzUK:
What is the thickness of the phone (in mm) with the battery installed? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
I will post pics of the batteries tomorrow. I am doing a test of the battery life and do not want to remove the battery. It is currently at 26 hours on and still at 60% with moderate use. I just finished 5 full recharge cycles which is recommended for full capacity.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Approximately 17 -18 mm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AdzUK:
Cheers mate. Would be too thick for me, my current case is fairly bulky at around 13-14 mm, but any thicker and I would start having a problem fitting it in my pockets.

If they made a ~3500mAH version with stand and it was ~13 mm thickness in total, and cheaper, I'd definitely buy one. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
Agreed. It pushes the limit for pocketing. It does fit in the neoprene sleeve I bought and if you have on baggy pants such as sweat pants, you can pocket it but probably not jeans or slacks. Of course it add weight also.

I sure does last a long time and is a fairly easy to hold in the hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sub7even:
thanks for the info dude... gonna get one soon :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
I'm definitely going to get one too. I'll probably order today. I've just liked their Facebook page to get a 7% off code, just waiting for that to cone through. How long was the postage for it and where are you based? I just want to get a realistic idea of delivery times.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
Here is a comparison shot to the OEM. I also included a shot of the speaker box, which keeps the sound from getting distorted in the back cavity. I used the Mugen this weekend and the battery lasted 36 hours straight with moderate usage and still has 30% left. If having self contained long battery life is the key feature for you, The Mugen is the battery for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
I did not order it. A friend of mine ordered it, and before it arrived they sold their GNote, so they gave it to me. I am in Dallas, Texas, USA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sankeerths:
i want to but this but before i have few doubts:

planoman plz provide ur opinion

1.if i use Mugen battery as my primary den how can i charge my stock battery without removing back cover??is there any external charger for stock battery?

2.if i remove mugen battery can i use the back cover for stock battery?

3.can i get any protective silicon case if m using mugen battery with mugen back door?

4.is it worth buying mugen??(i dnt mind extra weight or thickness)

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
Although I dont have the battery (yet though it has been ordered) I do have experience of extended batteries.

1: More than likely you will need an aftermarket charging dock (non samsung) that allows you to charge the device and an extra battery at the same time.

2:The new back cover will still fit even with the stock battery its just you';ll end up with a thicker device for no reason with a lot of wasted space behind the battery.

3: Cases are out there but I doubt silicone, well, not yet though you could email Mugen and ask them if they are going to make one to go with the new battery and back cover.

4: Although I can't vouch for Mugen specifically, I like extended batteries. Yes the devices are always thicker and heavier but I think the extra battery life far outweigh this especially if you are a power user of the device.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
There are external chargers on Ebay.

If you use the mugen case with the stock battery, it will work, but if you drop your phone the thinner battery will come loose.

Many cases assume your phone is a particular thickness. One alternative are the bumper cases that protect the sides and not the back.

T
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
1. There are several battery chargers out there for the GNote.

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...0GBY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327958163&sr=8-1

Just an example. I know nothing about and have not used the product I linked to.

2. I do not think you can use the Mugen back for the stock battery as it is designed to hold the Mugen battery in place and as others have said the OEM battery would probably slip out of contact.

3. I have not see any cases that can accomodate the GNote with the extended back. I did order a neoprene sleeve for my GNote and the GNote with the extended back actually slipped in quite easily. (Picture Attached) I also use a Garmin 5 inch GPS case in which the extended back fits fine.

4. I did not buy it and am not sure of the cost. I heard $110. This is a bit steep, but I can say this battery is a workhorse. I usually do not need such prolonged battery life. When I received it after it being shipped from China and my friend gave it to me I guess it was several weeks since leaving China and when I first put it in my GNote, it registered 68%

I have used it for 36 hours straight over the weekend of moderate use. It still had 30% left.

If you have a need for long periods of uninterrupted power away from recharging or just want a very long lasting battery and do not mind a little more thickness and weight, the Mugen 4500 Battery may be for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lightfire:
I don't think anyone has come out with a case for it and I doubt they will. I emailed mugen and asked and they didn't appear to be interested.

I ordered one cause I want to use the note as a SMART phone not have to cut off everything so the battery will last. I bought a case made for a gps system and hope it will fit when I receive it. It has a lanyard for clipping to belt, backpack etc.

I have previously had mugen batteries that I was happy with.

Thanks for the charger link and for the info

btw planoman how are you charging both batteries???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Johev:
Hi everybody, I have been interested in this expensive accessory as so far people are giving it positive reviews. There is just one thing that I do not understand very well.

If you use the 4500 amh mugen battery, can you charge the phone with the USB cable and still have it charge the whole battery? I remember that some phones needed to have a change in the the ROM in order to not stop charging the battery after a certain amount.

I don't want to use an external charger, just this and the normal power adapter that came with the phone. Will it be enough?

Thanks for all the help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
I only charge the battery I have in the phone. The Mugen hold a charge very well. After charging, it can hold a charge for many weeks.

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

Yes, you can charge the battery in the phone with a USB cable. They (Mugen) recommend 8-12 hours of charging for the first 4-5 charging cycles.
