Oh I also got the battery from eBay a couple of days ago. Tested it for a few days. I don't use NFC so I can't comment if it works or not. As for battery life, eh. Its maybe similar to the standard GNex battery or slightly worse since I think it has a smaller amount of mAh. But everyone uses their phone differently so idk. But for such a cheap price, hell yea its worth it. It really does look like an official Samsung battery or maybe someone made a really good looking knock off lol but yea people worth the price. I hated it took about a month to arrive. So if you can wait a month for it to arrive, hell I'd say order a few :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
l also consider myself a GNex battery collector. I never wanna be tied down to a cord. Just change battery and I'm good :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moterbiker:
I got one last night, one of the yellow labeled batteries, it was less than $4 delivered. It seems to be about the same as the factory battery as far as I can tell, NFC does NOT work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djras111:
I also got some Ebay batteries.. the ones labeled "Noar Field Communication". 2 batteries and a stand alone battery charger for ~$10. The NFC does NOT work with these batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjhart85:
Confirmed. I bought the same ones & can confirm that the NFC doesn't work for me either.

Putting in a complaint to the seller ... don't think anything will come of it since the descriptions doesn't mention NFC and the pic shows 'noar field', so I can't even claim they lied, lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeloposteraro:
so the T-mobile battery is not compatible but the standatd GSII battery will fit into the non-LTE Gnex ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Hmmm ive been thinking about getting the extended battery from verizon but ive heard it only slightly helps the over all life and in the end doesnt make much difference. Although i wouldnt mind swapping out a battery once one dies off. And for 4 bucks, i can swing it. What dobyou guys think? Is it better to get the extended battery from vzn or a second standard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelin101:
Don't get the extended battery. It's not worth the money. I think a backup battery (with no NFC), for $4, makes a lot more sense. I ordered mine like a week ago. I guess it will still take a while to arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
those make the phone look fugly, imho.

i'd rather carry a spare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
put stickers on them to help differientiate, or write numbers on with permanent marker.

my gf has hello kitty stickers on her batteries.

do you really go thru that many batteries? my gf has 3 batteries, but only needs 2 in a typical day. she works in a call center and if calls are slow, and she watches tons of videos or plays games, then she might need the 3rd battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I agree. I dunno about you guys but I feel like NFC is like firewire. Mfg'ers like to add it to phones to give it an additional feature, but who actually uses it?

Bump to transfer files is pretty neat though, I guess we'll have to wait till more phones get ICS and NFC to see if it's really useful.

I wouldn't mind paying by phone if Google Wallet chargers retailers less than what the credit card companies charge, just to save my fav small business owners 1 or 2% on their operating costs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
link to seller?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelin101:
Well, I wouldn't discount NFC so quickly yet. The possibilities are just so incredible. Imagine vending machines with NFC!!!

The unfortunately reality is that it might take longer for NFC to take off in a bigger way in the U.S. than the effective lifespan of our Galaxy Nexus's. With this in mind, I'm really happy to have a phone with NFC support - well, a battery.. and a backup battery for next to nothing, in case the NFC battery dies ;)

Two batteries and a travel charger for $25.

I only got them yesterday and so haven't tested them yet, but the reviews made it worth trying. I guess I'm leery of $4 eBay batteries... ;)

Neo, if she works at a desk, can't she plug in? Batteries do wear out with use, after all. Still, we'll probably all have new phones by the time they do wear out.

Just a thought. :)

Anyway, thanks for building this thread! Good info!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Personally, I like the extended battery. I have two. Yeah, it's not a huge difference, but I prefer the feel of the extended battery cover. I have 2 standards and 2 extended batteries.

As far as NFC goes, either ya find a use for it, or you don't. I have NFC tags all over the house/car that I use daily. It's fun and different.

Ebay Batteries

I was also leery of the 4$ Ebay batteries, but I ordered 3 of the T-mo GSII batteries with a charger just because of this thread. They came in straight from Shenzhen the other day and are holding up great so far. Never going to run out of juice again. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziocomposite:
Alright guys, purchased a 2500 mah battery for Tmobile SGS2. I'll let you know how it works out. I want extra mah, but not the 3800 provided all around.

If it does work, I'll see what has to be done to close the cover. I do have a case for it that fits with the stock extended battery so I might just omit the back cover or maybe cut out the battery section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matchpoints:
I did the same thing but forgot to change the shipping address. I wrote them right away so hopefully they can correct that. Let's see what happens. No more down time on airplanes watching movies.......except the limited 16gb memory :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelin101:
No more down time on planes watching movies? Well, I guess it really depends on the duration of the flight. I wonder, would a single GNex battery be sufficient for viewing two 2-hour movies? I guess you could expend an entire spare battery to just watching movies. And maybe another spare just for listening to music/audio books..

Boy, I think I need to buy another T-Mobile GS2 battery if I wanna make it through an international flight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziocomposite:
If it was for something that long, I'd more than likely just bring a tablet =P.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelin101:
Anyone know if there's a standalone charger I could buy that's also cheap?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I think some of the Ebay links in this thread have combo deals where you also get an external charger. I got 2 combo deals, so my gf has 2 spare batteries and 2 chargers to charge at the same time. This makes it handy because she can charge all 3 batteries over night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
I've purchased five--two from one seller and three from another--of these SGII/T989 batteries for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, I515.

They work great until they die. I've had three die on me after 5-6 months of use. I treat the Samsung OEM batteries the same way and they are still ticking.

At ~$4 a piece for 6 months of use, if the OEM batteries do indeed last two years, the value proposition for the two is about the same. But I would rather buy a cheap $4 battery, expect it to last 6 months and see some last a bit longer.

Just got a nexus from the play store and yes, it fits my old t989 1850 mha
[Android Apps and Games] alter0001:
Market Unlocker lets you access paid or restricted apps in Android Market 2.x and 3.x and Amazon Appstore in one click. It's safe, stable, simple and free.

For some apps are just enabled for some specific countries and not available to the other countries,so it is very difficult to download many high quality software. Market Unlocker lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available.

Addition to all features of MarketEnabler, Market Unlocker also supports

-Visit android market through a proxy (bypass ip country check)

-Visit Amazon appstore outside USA and download daily paid app for free!

Require:

***Get Root permission

***Have installed Android market

***Have installed Amazon appstore (optional)

***Install in internal storage for auto unlock

Features:

***Change provider in one click

***Change provider automatically on boot or switch to flightmode

***Proxy support for market 3.x. It support HTTP, Socks4, Socks5 proxy and user authentication. Socks 4/5 proxy is highly recommended.

***Support Amazon Appstore outside USA.

***Support fetch and configure proxy automatically (pro version only)

Basic Usage:

Click any item in "Market" tab to enable Unocket. And you can switch to Home and Proxy table for more optional functions.

It is not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode! So if you want to back to default market,just reboot or reset flight mode, but you can check "Auto Unlock" to fake it automatically.

To work with market 2.x,

select market and check "Market Unlocker" to enable function.

To work with market 3.x,

1. Turn on flight mode

2. Enable Market Unlocker and auto unlock (by default verizon is configured)

3. Got to system Setting => Applications => Manage applications => All => Market, and click "Clear data"

4. Reboot phone

5. Turn on Wifi/3G

7. Open Android Market. paid apps are there for you.

Turn off flight mode now.

To work with Amazon appstore:

Amazon appstore does not allow users to buy paid apps from outside USA, even if users have been registered use US credit card and US address.

Market Unlocker can also set a USA proxy for Amazon appstore to help you buy daily free apps as well as paid apps.

To achieve this,

First install Appstore app, otherwise the function checkbox will not be visible.

1. Go to Proxy tab

2. Configure Proxy Type, Proxy Host, Proxy Port. Please make sure you're using an effect USA proxy server first.

3. Check "Involve Amazon Appstore" button

4. Enable "Enable Proxy" to "ON"

[Nokia Lumia 800] Tweeqit2:
Like the title says...I just got a Lumia 800 from Nokia and after spending 2 days trying to get the damn thing to boot, I finally have it up and running but now I can't get any of the developer tools to connect to it. Zune is the latest version and recognizes and sync's with the phone perfectly...however nothing else will connect to the phone, WPConnect.exe, PhoneReg.exe, Tom's XAP Installer, VS2010, nothing. I have rebooted both my PC and Phone countless times, plugged, unplugged, tried different ports, turned off wifi, date-time settings etc.....all to no avail. I was really excited to get this phone but it has been nothing but problems, really making me hate WP7 and Nokia.

Can anyone please provide me with some help?

[EVO 4G General] brad560:
to hopefully decrease the number of posts from members in the coming days about the new OTA that Sprint/HTC released today (but will not officially "push" to devices until January 24,) I would like to point out some things to new members as well as veterans, as we see this happen every time a new OTA is pushed.

latests news/updates in bold.

flashing lights reminder: IF YOU ARE ROOTED, DO NOT UNROOT TO GET THIS OTA UPDATE FROM SPRINT. YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO RE ROOT AS REVOLUTIONARY DOES NOT WORK YET WITH THE NEW HBOOT 2.18

1. Number one rule, and i will cap this DO NOT ACCEPT A OTA UPDATE IF YOU ARE ROOTED. it has been said many many times here, and members with rooted phones do it anyways. why risk it???? we all saw the gingerbread debacle last year.

2. New HBoot. it seems the new ota update has a new h-boot, 2.18, and from what it seems and this may remain to be seen 100% it is not unlockable with revolutionary. i can not confirm this personally. EDIT: seems the new 2.18 hboot is preparing the evo4g to be added to the unlock bootloader list at htcdev. we await word on when this might be official from htc. UPDATE: seems Captain_Throwback has a way to get your hboot down to 2.10 to use unrevoked. the process is long but it does work, as I have tested it myself.

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-"

4. Why the update? The big part of this update was to remove CIQ from the evo's. yay. There were small improvements to Peep (the htc twitter client) and other various fixes. report of battery life being worse than 4.54 have been reported.

5. So when will my favorite rom be updated to the OTA base? well, we already have a stock rom based on the ota (actually 2!) , it is located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455340

so this is a start. your favorite rom will be updated by it's developer when the dev has time, last update we had (4.54) we saw a rapid update of roms.

6. Great, so has sense changed at all? No we are still at sense 1.0 sigh.

7. so how about the new kernel? it is now based on htc 2.6.35.10 dated december 21, 20011. Captain_Throwback has extracted the kernel standalone: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21654186&postcount=3214

7a. What "hacks" work with the the new stock rom you posted? :) look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459982

8. i have a question!! well use the search function and see if it has been answered, look here, the Q&A threads, or the dev threads. I hope this will clear down some of the clutter that comes up during this wonderful thing called an OTA update.

Has it been confirmed that it cannot get S-Off with Revolutionary and SuperTool?

Oh how I hope it can be unlocked... If it cannot, then a deluge of root threads will open and I might be driven to insanity.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Cannot since revolutionary doesn't support the hboot with the new ota
[EVO 4G General] misery in motion:
I feel I must chime in here and make some further clarifications.

Tools like unrevoked and Revolutionary do NOT give you root. This is a very common misconception. What these tools DO give you is NAND access (S-OFF).

In order to obtain root, a custom recovery is required to flash a rooted ROM. In order to flash a custom recovery, you must have NAND access (S-OFF).

If your phone has S-OFF, you can run rooted and non-rooted ROMS just the same. It all depends on what ROM you flash. What gives a ROM root access is having superuser permissions. This is achieved with ChainDD's Superuser app which grants a ROM with SU permissions. If a ROM has the Superuser app cooked in, it has root access.

So it goes a little something like this:

unrevoked/revolutionary --> S-OFF

S-OFF --> allows flashing custom recovery

custom recovery --> allows flashing custom ROMs

custom ROMs with SU permissions cooked in --> gives you root

S-OFF and Root are only indirectly related.

If you have S-OFF, you will ALWAYS have the ability to flash ROMs, even the latest newest releases.

Here's a further example, my own personal experience:

I obtained S-OFF over a year ago using unrevoked3, which permanently granted S-OFF. Since then I have applied every radio, hboot, etc as they have been released. Never lost S-OFF.

Now regarding this latest OTA release, #12 (4.67.651.3), here is what I did. I flashed a stock unrooted/unmodified 4.54 rom. I then went into settings->system updates and checked for the new ota. I downloaded the OTA, and APPLIED the OTA. Applying the update flashed the new hboot, the stock recovery, and the new radios, as well as the new stock 4.67.651.3 ROM.

After it fully completed it's process I reflashed the custom recovery. From there I am free to flash any ROM I wish. What I did was took the new rom into the developer kitchen and rooted it. Then flashed it. Viola, I am on rooted 4.67.651.3 with full access. In actuality I'm running my barebones build currently, linked in my sig.

Once you run unrevoked or revolutionary you should never have to again. They give you permanent S-OFF. You'll always have the ability to flash a custom recovery, even if you accept an OTA update, and flash ANY custom ROM.

I hope this post helps people better understand the whole root and NAND security process. :)
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
strange, no problems here, i use dev-host for now, seems it is easier to download there for people in work, etc.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
thanks misery for your post. newbies would get confused by all of that, but i still will say to the day i die, lol. do not accept a OTA from sprint if you are rooted. things could go wrong..
[EVO 4G General] misery in motion:
Accepting an OTA does indeed cause you to lose root acces. No arguement there. But it's a simple matter of reflashing a custom recovery and flashing a rooted ROM through recovery and bam back to being rooted.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
yes, you are right. i just think for newbies/inexperienced flashers they should just flash a stock/customized rom with the base updated than doing a bunch of things to their phones, we have read alot of horror stories after the gingerbread update and others.
