3,600Ah

I received my 3,600Ah battery in early June of this year. With minimal use (some texting and checking twitter), I can still get about 12 hours. With heavier use (videos, music, games, browsing reddit), the battery life is considerably less. While it's much better than with the worn-out 1,650Ah stock battery, I still need to use my portable power source to charge it during the day since I often spend 14+ hours away from home.

However, the only thing I can really complain about is the bulk of the phone and that goes for any battery pack; the battery cost me less than $10. I would never shell out more than $20 for a battery. I could buy another and switch them out if I could get a more durable backing; the one it came with barely snaps on.

I bought it from the "3600mAh Extended Battery + Black Door Cover For Samsung Captivate Glide SGH-i927" listing by "didustore". (Can't post a link since I don't have the minimum posts.) I've seen some "3800mAh" listings, but most of them have outrageous shipping costs of $40+.

I've been using CM 10.0 and 10.2 with the battery, but I think the stock (Android 2.3 or something) firmware gives you a bit more battery life out of it. Using the stock firmware is not worth it, though.

Anyway, hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
OK, so coming back to this thread having been gone awhile, and my 2 e-bay batteries now dead.

I see a number of 3600 suggestions, but no links - could someone please post a currently viable link? [Not mugen, want cheap.] What links I saw (except for 10 pack) go to auctions long over, or dead. e.g. daydeal

Better if 2 batteries plus cover.

Thx.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dmonix:
ordered on ebay a 3800mAh, the phone now looks a little fatty haha, upgraded the captivate glide from gingerbread to kitkat, i notice a more battery consumption, normal.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
These 3600 or 3800 "china" mAh are some sort of 2000-2500 "real" mAh, so the battery life is better (say, 12 hours instead of 8), but still not impressive. Bought a "3800 mAh" version for 10$, I still charge it frequently, but there's nothing better. Also, I found, that my phone is still functional with 1% of that battery remaining - used it for a half of an hour on 1% remains and it didn't turn off. China watts...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dalamar666:
can someone post a link to buy a good battery?

(and cheap xD)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] zWiLLX:
Just to chime in I've had 3800 mAHr bat off ebay which I bought with battery door for like $12 shipped and it lasts all day with soundcloud and general use, for 9 months, and it's only that good recently because of the 4.4 upgrade which helped battery a lot, like 40%

How would you test that? Mine does the 1% thing also :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
I too ended up doing the fat e-bay battery (2, in fact) plus door thing, and been entirely happy about it. Well ... had to buy another holster, but that was something like $15 - and since if these batteries ever die in a few years I'll buy more of the same, no biggie. I've had to learn that even a warning of at 1% means I still have several hours left, not OMG get it on the charger! The larger capacity skews one's sense of what 15% / any% actually means in terms of how long until it's actually empty.

Mind you, although wi-fi is on all the time, I do virtually nothing with it most of the time (auto-Titanium backups, background update notifications, and such). I make/receive almost no calls, don't play music or game, and so on - so charge duration for others will be less than for me. When I do use it the drain is no more than before (except the % drops way more slowly) - i.e. The greater capacity is indeed there, there seems nothing untowards in the purchase or product.

4.4 upgrade? Would you happen to have a thread link?

I rooted within days of kijiji purchase, thanks to these forums and threads, but never bothered doing more / upgrading beyond that as development seemed stalled / not 100% functional/unbuggy. I'm techie enough, but my cell needs to be plug and play / work 100% in all ways out of the gate. So I stopped paying attention to development progress here some years back, so still on 2.3 / GB.

From your 4.4 comment and the earlier thread comment of going to kitkat, I'm guessing the 100% seamless plug and play and get on with your day arrived sometime along the way and I didn't notice?

(Don't mean to hijack this thread, but talking about batteries, something that increases power duration by ~40% does seem topical.)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] zWiLLX:
Oh it's worthwhile. I was on 2.2 prior, so the upgrade was MORE notable, but I've heard the memory management is up across the board so I guess that's part of it.

Check out Bubor's i927 rom OmniRom right here on XDA. I believe it's the most like stock and therefore my cup of tea for now. Cyanogenmod 11 is another option and I believe Bubor himself runs that. Another is PAC rom which I linked just bc it's harder to search, also well received. There's a GPS fix by Kombatant, and I've seen that GPS at least works thus far via that fix and OmniRom. Also functional is camera, video chat via hangouts, and several other features that were kinda broken even on stock 2.2 (including, for me, PayPal). It's fast and super super smooth :) You have to download Maps ver 6.14.4 apk separately and be sure to immediately disallow auto-updating once the OS loads in the Play Store settings. The SoundCloud I mentioned is also a backdated APK 2.8.3 I believe. There's also an APK by Bubor which fixes the backlight (essential IMO) and still another method for getting the keyboard to never lock up upon close/reopen, by deleting a file. This is perhaps the hardest to fix to find (and one that was VERY annoying prior) and available here

So yep, the DIY community has completely fixed the glide!! :)

well i grabbed my sister ipad today and saw that in landscape mode there is also chat

will this available for transformer sometime?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] curti.nogg:
The Facebook app includes chat and if I remember correctly Facebook also made a separate app to chat that is also on the market.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
Facebook text chat is still available in the Android app; left corner- 3 lines tap those and a full page menu opens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frederuco:
I personally just use imo.im and put all of my chat protocols in there. GTalk, Skype, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, and many more.

It does not do video chat with anyone via GTalk or Skype, but if someone wants to do that I just launch the native app. Then I do not have to worry about doing facebook chat from within the FB app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] curti.nogg:
Thanks! I never thought to scroll down in that menu. I usually just use that menu to search for a friend and since I'm in a few groups I never saw the chat option below.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:
yes ido know that but i mean in landscape mode on the news feed you get chat on your right

Hello I am willing to buy a dock for the optimus 2x. I found this one, wanted to know what you think?

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
It is safe, but not very well constructed, as the phone itself does not make contact with the plastic of the dock, so it only "wiggles" on the usb plug. I bought another one which is a lot better, and it can charge an extra battery as well: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dual-u...th-extra-battery-slot-for-lg-optimus-2x-73031

You've probably got one now, but thought I would comment as I have this one, and it's rather nice. It's a lot sturdier than it looks - I was afraid that it'd topple-over with the weight of the phone but it stays put.

My only gripe is the blue LED which illuminates my bedroom at night even when the PC is off, so I've stuck some black PVC insulation tape over it ;)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
So I have the LTE Note and the 3G 6800GT. I called AT&T and confirmed the IMEI for both are correctly registered, and I assume the PTA data (didn't double check that, but I get messages on both, etc.). I'm running a custom rom in the 7.7, stock based RC3 from sk806 (sp?).

So of course the LTE speeds are very fast, but that's not the point. The point is that it seems to me that 3G speeds are slower than they were a couple of months ago, when I still had my iPhone 4.

Either that, or the 7.7 is not HSPA+. With the iPhone I used to get 4K+ down/at least 1/1.5 up. With the 7.7 3G, I never get to 3K down, more like 2200/2800 down, while i only reached 1k once up. Mostly I get 400/700kbs up.

Is that anybody else's experiences, or is that my particular area?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
My HSPA+ speeds on my GS2 (international) haven't changed recently. The obvious answer is that your area's network has become more congested, since none of the speeds you listed is even capping out bandwidth on vanilla 3G.

APN could certainly have an effect as well. I still get the best speeds using pta, but you should make sure that's actually the APN you're using. I don't know what AT&T considers "correctly registered" for the P6800, but according to my best understanding of their logic, it should be on the fauxG plan and using the phone APN, which tends to be more congested than pta. AT&T will also let you use medianet/non-smartphone data with the P6800, and wap.cingular is definitely a slower connection. Check your APN settings, and the plan you're on--you can only use pta with the "4G LTE" data plan, not the "4G" data plan.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
Well, one reason is that I don't live exactly on a city center, so my speeds are always slower than most (25K tops for LTE, 4K tops for 3G). The thing is, by 7.7 is doing half of what the iPhone used to do on the same spot (home), so I'm not sure. Going to try my wife's blackberry Torch and see what it gets.

But yeah, it might be my area. But I was just wondering if it makes sense for AT&T to make LTE even faster sacrificing a bit of 3G speeds, when available bandwidth is limited already. Looks like AT&T might think that it would make LTE more attractive and would "spread the word" about AT&T data faster this way. Power users would be on LTE anyway, so they wouldn't notice.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I just got 3.5 Mbps down HSPA+ on my 6800 in the same spot where I'm getting 35Mbps down on my LTE Note. That's about how it has been previously.

Hi guys,

I'm currently on miui. The issue is with 3g connectivity, when it is shared via BT it gets stuck. Disabling data, switching 2g/3g or airplane mode do not help. Only restart. That happens very often. I didn't notice any problems with 2g. Do you know what rom has no problems with sharing 3g? Would the stock rom have this issue?

Original Thread posted in wrong section:

Stats:

HTC Vivid AT&T

HTC Sense Version 3.0

Software #1.63.502.4

Action taken:

Followed the Superguide to the letter, unlocked phone, rooted no issues. Every thing went according to the guide. I even removed CIQ with no issues. I did not flash a custom ROM because i'm still researching what is available. Since the Dev forum is very technical i have to do a lot of reading to understand what is the best method and software. I'm an Air traffic Controller and a quick study, so i make sure i'm very precise.

Result:

After completing the process i noticed that i have sever signal degradation. Prior to rooting i was picking up 5 full bars and 4G inside my house. Now i only pick up maybe one to two and Edge. My wife is picking up full power on her POS flip phone.

Trouble shooting actions taken:

Verified APN was correct and loaded an alternate configuration - Failed to resolve

Pulled and checked the sim card - Failed to resolve

Unable to find an App for checking my base band nor do i know what the original settings would have been. So following the Superguide step 6, i returned to stock. It was successful in reverting to Stock however i still have no signal strength.

If someone could please point me in the right direction to apply more troubleshooting techniques, of possabley have a solution. I have searched the entire vivid forums with no luck and the other post on this topic where for phone outside the US. Most had no resolution listed or where left unanswered. Please help, thanks in advance.
