If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.
[Nexus S Accessories] mrjimyjohn:
I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"

Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.

It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.
[Nexus S Accessories] brokentoaster24:
Be careful buying those batteries. More often than not they just repackage 1500 batteries and Mark up the price :/
[Nexus S Accessories] Surnom:
After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.
[Nexus S Accessories] Surnom:
I finally get about 15% better battery life. For the 20$ it cost me, I'm happy.
[Nexus S Accessories] AeroEchelon:
How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!
[Nexus S Accessories] t1n0m3n:
Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.

My point is this:

1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)

2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.

So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Yes it is possible. Search the Vibrant, and Fascinate/Mezmerize forum for examples.
[Nexus S Accessories] Surnom:
Its about 6-7 days old, bought it on EBAY from this place:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/ladyblue1974/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
[Nexus S Accessories] Flukzr:
Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.

Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.

I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
I got a gold :) 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7

i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.
[Nexus S Accessories] t1n0m3n:
----------------

Yes, as you so eloquently rephrased, "it's always about money." I noticed you left that part out of your quote of me.

----------------

----------------

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"

I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.

----------------

I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.

If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.

Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.
[Nexus S Accessories] shockem:
Dude that looks good for $20! Post more details! I might be getting that:)
[Nexus S Accessories] tjackbjorn:
is that battery same size like the original battery? :D
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
yes tjackbjorn, same size
[Nexus S Accessories] tjackbjorn:
okey, does it work properly? Think I maybe buy one, it wasn't too expensive!
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
yes, it works properly. I had used my original battery for 12 months when I switched over to this one. The improvement was very noticeable.

I just charged my phone to 99%, I will report back in 24 hours with battery information and battery history since unplugged.
[Nexus S Accessories] tjackbjorn:
Sounds great! :)
[Nexus S Accessories] shockem:
Yeah please report back. I'm looking forward to see what results you get!:)
[Nexus S Accessories] AeroEchelon:
That is insane: 2430 mAh battery for $20 ... too good to be true. I may purchase one if your results are good. Thanks for the info!
[Nexus S Accessories] Viper780:
im sure this "Gold" Battery hasn't nearly 2430mA but when it could deliver 1600mA for a long Time it is a huge improvement to the original Samsung.

anyone tested it yet on an good wattmeter?
[Nexus S Accessories] tjackbjorn:
you feel any diffrence?
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
I don't know if this "gold battery" is any better than a brand new Samsung battery. At the time I switched batteries I also changed from stock to CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN-ver.4 Ultimate_GB_EN. Could be the improvement I feel is because of the ROM?

Also, I see the gold battery is being sold on ebay for about $10, shipped from Hong Kong http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-Hig...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20c2ed342c

That makes me a little suspicious about the Made in Japan statement...

Anyways

24 hours and 45 mins after I charged my battery 99% full, stats are:

Battery Level: 37%

Battery Voltage: 3752mV

Time spent without sleeping 8.7% (2h 09m)

Time spent with screen on 6.0% (1h 28m)

Time spent with phone on 1.7% (24m 48s)

Time spent with Wifi on 100% (1d 0h 45m)

Time spent with Wifi running 23.6% (5h 49m)

3g and Wifi turned on.

GPS and Bluetooth turned off.

What has been using the battery

Display 31%

Cell standby 20%

Voice calls 19%

Phone idle 8%

Wifi 6%

Android system 6%

Browser 5%

Google services 2%

Dialer 2%
[Nexus S Accessories] tjackbjorn:
That looks pretty good! can you post a screenshot too!?:-)
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
I should mention I have no wallpaper, that probably extends battery time. Numbers are obviously a little different from my last post ~5 hours ago

I dumped the last picture after i connected the phone to my laptop to upload
[Nexus S Accessories] AeroEchelon:
Those are some pretty good stats indeed.

My phone can definitely not last that long 24hrs and 40% remaining. (Not to mention that I also turn off 3G AND WiFi.)

Amazing.
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
Doesn't look like very good results to me to be honest. But it may just be the effed way it is laid out... and we don't know anything other then you changed Roms... I mean it seems like you would have never made it to 3 hours of screen on time with normal-light use... That's why you should give a scoop on how your setup is in more detail. =) I am hoping I am wrong... cuz I want longer battery life without having a tank in my pocket... But it seems mine lasts longer than yours under the same or more use?

If you don't mind... Cuz I really hope this battery is the buziness.. What you should do is charge your phone up. Run some movies or videos from the internet with screen on straight for 4 hours or play an internet game or just a heavy running game and then take a picture of your battery stats. and screen on time.

If your phone is dead or close to it.... Well, your battery is not better than stock... If it still has a good chunk of life left... Then it is safe to say it is better then stock.
[Nexus S Accessories] shockem:
Yeah do a more detailed one:D

I honestly wouldn't mind getting it. I'm just afraid it explodes in my pocket.
[Nexus S Accessories] klorin:
ok. i'll charge to full, play one of those 10 hour youtube videos over wifi and see how long the battery survives.

Post the exact setting you want me to set before zi experiment commences :D
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
Awesome! This should be good. If you run a lazy gov. And 200/1000 with no 3g.. just wifi if possible. Screen at 25% bright.

[Nexus S Accessories] jokkir:
Around 5h 40m as screen on time seems to be very good. Although something about these batteries seem to be fishy but I can't seem to put my finger on it
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
I'm gonna get one of these batteries I think. That seems like damn good times. With that kinda use the stock battery would be gone, not at 36%....

even my phone has a Max screen time of 5-6 hours with a vodeo running and wifi on.. Looks like yours would have easily hit 8. I cant hit 8 under light use. My max was 7with light to medium use. It is worth trying it out I think..

Thanks for putting in the time to test this thing out for us.
[Nexus S Accessories] AeroEchelon:
Thanks for the test Klorin!

My battery can barely hit 4 hours and that's with WiFi/Data OFF and screen brightness at DIM.

Yours hit that with 25% brightness and WiFi On!

Going to get one for sure!
[Nexus S Accessories] TigaTiger:
Just purchased the gold battery and its still charging. I want to leave it to 8 hours continous charge (as all new batteries need to be). Wiped battery stats. So far its the same. Probably just sticked a 2340mah sticker ontop of a 1500mah. i can get 10 days off the original battery without touching it at all (CM9 V7, matrix. Screen off = 100 min 800 max (interactive x or lulzactive), wifi off, 2g/3g off). Going to test it on this battery by leaving it for a couple of days.

In future technologies i wish they could use Lithium Polymer batteries which last longer and provides consistent power. Problem is they are MASSIVE. One cell Li-poly is basically the original Nexus S battery.

http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/17705/

http://www.wikihow.com/Maintain-Lithium-Battery

turns out it is bad to full disharge a battery. Wait than how do you cycle batterys properly? is from 10% to 100%, visa versa, count as a cycle?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] riverboat2001:
Hi All,

There is a thread on the forums about "Official Firmwares" on here for the Galaxy Tab 7Plus (GT-P6210)

When i got mine today it was P6210XXKK1 (didn't find that listed)

On connection to my wifi i was advised that an update was available, and the device now has the code:P6210XXKl4

This device doesn't appear to be listed either

(bought the device 2nd hand on Amazon)

I'd like to have a look at some custom firmwares for this, but would first like to find a "stock" image that would be flashable via Odin (in case something goes wrong)

But I've searched a bit on the web, and there is not a lot that mentions this code.

Please could a knowledgeable person point me in the right direction?

SamFirmware has this code listed as a 3g device. Mine is definitely wifi only
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jasonemorrow:
My guess would be that this is the firmware update between your origiinal and the most current.

Hello,

I flashed my Arc with baseband 62 on the latest CM 9.0 FXP106. I'm pretty satisfied so far. The only thing that bugs me is that it seems that I can't add any APN's. That means if I want to add a new APN and I want to save it, it won't let me do it.

I tried backing it up with APNsBU (ROOT) -> didn't work

Hard reset -> didn't work

Fixing permissions in ROM Manager -> didn't work

[HTC EVO 3D] DevXen:
When the space gets low on the Evo, it pops up a message, asking if you want to clear space, allowing you clear cache, multiple remove apps at one time, or multiple move apps to the SD card at one time..

I've only been able to access that, when it comes up.

is there a way to manually bring that app up?

.. I'm low on space, and i dismissed it as i was doing something else.

i've tried searching google. but that didn't do much good. haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] vlatinlove:
There is two ways to do this one is opening your app drawer and click menu you will see "remove app" click that and it ill automatically pop-up on a tab called "Downloaded" click on an app and it will give the screen that I believe you are looking for.

Another way to pull this up is go to your settings and click "Applications" and then click "Manage Applications" and it will take you to the same screen.

Sorry if this is not what you were looking for.
[HTC EVO 3D] DevXen:
Thanks for trying. but thats the Android Application manager..

The App i'm talking about, wasn't on my EVO4G, so i'm sure it's an HTC App. Made to clear space easier.. it's almost like a low space wizard. haha. hmm.
[HTC EVO 3D] DevXen:
Aha. Found it on the HTC Site.. Finally..

From the Home screen, press , and then tap Settings.

Tap SD & phone storage > Make more space.

On the Clean cache screen, choose whether to clear the cache of rarely used apps only or all apps.

On the Application storage screen:

Tap Move to SD card if there are apps that you can transfer to the storage card.

Tap Uninstall if there are apps you'd like to remove.

On the Mail & Messages storage screen:

Set fewer days of mails to download so that older mails will be removed from the storage automatically.

Lower the number of text and multimedia messages per conversation.

Tap Finish.

Hey guys,

I recently joined this forum. I used to have a Droid, and from what I remember, I rooted it in a way that disabled OTA updates ever messing with the phone. After seeing the "OTA Brick Thread," I was wondering if it is possible for me to disable OTA updates or prevent them from messing up on my Rezound? I am currently unlocked, rooted and debloated running the OTA. However, I don't know if my phone will have problems if another OTA is pushed to the device. Moreover, I really want to flash custom ROMS, but am afraid of OTAs bricking my device.

I appreciate any help!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
That device didn't get bricked. He said it would go and hang at the the HTC screen. I honestly think user error occured there because if it can get to the HTC screen, it can get to HBOOT. What then happened is he killed the battery by letting it drain completely and now it won't charge up therefore looking like the phone is bricked. I am not sure why the OTA got pushed to his phone. I really think something happened that that guy's friend didn't tell him.
