GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh)

I had ordered for another extended battery too, just in case the first one didn't work out.

GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) + Black Cover for AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G i997

At $9.47 + Free Shipping , I thought it worth the risk.

Trying this one out. Will post updates here on this battery too.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] wolfen69:
I guess using a case is out of the question if you are going to use an extended battery. Battery life means little if I can't protect my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] StoneColdCarl:
Oh man, that looks...hefty and...awkward lol

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Oops wrong quote lol

I meant that this one looks a bit awkward. The newer ones look alright
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I too thought so. But no one sees the back when you put down or hold. And its a small minus given the battery life.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I understand. But well, its every person's choice :) I have to be extra careful. I guess now I'll have to get myself a pouch style case, instead of fixed style.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Lavman72:
I've had this one for quite some time. Real good battery. Downsides are the lack of case. Since I rooted and loaded the Zeus rom, battery life has improved dramatically. So the extended battery is less of a need for me. I get over 12 hours on a single charge easily. Someday I'll have to pop this puppy back in and get some numbers to post.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I am thinking of a waist pouch, and ordered 3 for about ~15 including shipping
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
Oh god that thing is a beast. Personally, I'd rather carry the extra batteries. If I know it's going to die before I go out, I can switch the battery before leaving or leave one in the car. I also carry a backpack with me everywhere I go so carrying an extra battery is never a problem. Thanks for the reviews though, hope to see more of the new battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wolfen69:
............................
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I do understand where you are coming from. But keep in mind that not all, esp working folks, don't have the luxury of switching the phone off and on to swap a battery, and nor do they always remember to carry an extra battery. Also, one has to remember to keep the extra one always charged.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
That's totally true, luckily I still have the stock battery so I always have an extra charged while one charges and the other in my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Lol, so you censored yourself ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Wondering if I heated up my Body Glove, would I be able to stretch it enough to fit.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I am not sure. One of my friends is getting a ballistic case for her infuse. I'll see if I can fit it over my phone with extended battery. If I can, I'll order one of those.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] triq6:
Thanks for the quick review! I'll probably order the GTMax later this week and post my experience. My battery life is horrible right now, even on custom roms (I've tried them all).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I would recommend the first one, not the GTMax. Anker 2800 is giving me more battery life compared to GTMax.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] triq6:
Thanks for the suggestion! The only reason I was thinking about the GTMax (other than the slightly larger capacity) is because I really don't like the way the Anker looks...I guess I'll just have to deal with it :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I had some signal issues too with GTMax back cover, could be unrelated too one could argue, but I noticed much lower signal, esp in areas with low signal penetration.

And though GTMax has higher capacity, for some reason, it is giving about an hour less display time than Anker in stress runs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayzata:
I have some Anker batteries. Got 2 1800mAh batteries and a charger for something like $16 and they work at least as well as the stock battery.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deputy13:
I bought the Samsung battery charger and gabber been very happy with. I just switch out they batteries when I need to. Bought it off of Amazon for $32
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Switching out batteries is not an option for many. Plus the overhead to remember to charge the spare battery. This is why this thread was made to create a review of extended batteries I purchased.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deputy13:
Wasn't intending to thread jack just inputting my opinion. my apologies
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Its ok. No damage done :) there were discussions before this n then some preferred swapping batteries, and some like me preferred extended ones.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deputy13:
Yeah I read your review and you almost had me sold but I'm rough on phones and needed a case lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trogdoor17:
Thanks for the info. I've been looking into purchasing an extended battery and I like the stats your getting. Stock battery hardly gets my through a 12 hour day. I bring my charger everywhere I go.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Last time I was out on weekend, and hardly used data, I turned it on EDGE. It got 3 days with about 4 hours of calls, and about 2 hours display time for games. I was home with about 30% left.

He he i saw that thread... :p

But is not about looks, its more about showing updates that developers hasn't put on their ROMs yet, I loved the way trebuchet launcher looks and feels, but was lacking customization...

And found updated versions for it and also for UI...

Hope to save someone the time I spent looking for this...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I cannot hear the touch clicks for system sounds when clucking icons or settings etc. Its super quiet unless I put the speaker right against my ear. I'm not talking about the keyboard clicks, those are fine. Anyone having the same issue?

Edit: lock screen sound is effected too, lock and unlock sound used to work. But its barely audible.:(

Also I notice after time my screen sensitivity goes to crap and touches don't register easily. Lock the screen fixes this for a short while. But it happens again after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
All my sounds even screen unlock screen off clicks are barely audible just like they were stock .1 and .2. No foul.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
OK thanks, so it seems normal.

But my bigger issue is the touchscreen sensitivity. It keeps getting weak and doesn't register presses. Have to lock the screen to reset it. Grrr so annoying. Happens every few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Can't say I have seen that happen.

As for screen clicks, anything louder would be obnoxious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
My opinion is that UI audible feedback is significantly more quiet. Volume level for media and ringer/notifications set to max level and still can barely hear it. A regression for sure I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaLoona:
Last time I had that was on my HTC HD2 (Leo) and after a while it didnt do anything anymore and I had to turn it in for repairs, I know its a different phone, but the symptoms are alike, so just my 2 cents :P

You didnt install any custom rom's or kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
More obnoxious lol? You don't understand, all I hear is dead silence even in a quiet room! Something is wrong with my sounds.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Some of you might know that I work for Verizon sales. I have had 4 inc2 come in this week all with the same issue. The phones will not boot past HTC screen. Factory reset freezes in bootloader. Have tried flashing a ruu but it freezes also. All of my customers phones have been stock unrooted. Any ideas as to what it could be.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
Sounds to me like they bricked trying to root. Flashing an ruu theoretically should fix it but there may be a problem with the boot image
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I thought the same but I really doubt that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I wouldn't doubt it becausethere are very few things that just randomly hard brick a device. I have heard that otas sometimes cause them but it is really late for someone to be getting an ota on this device.

Hi :) So my friend rooted his HTC Wildfire S the other day and then flashed an experimental version of CM7 on it. Now its bricked and forever stays on a black screen. Occasionally, it will vibrate 3 or 4 times but thats about the only action it does. I tried putting PG76IMG.zip on my sd card and holding power + vol down but that didnt work. The phone also isnt recognized by Windows 7 Ultimate or Mac OSX Lion, but it does charge. Can i get some help on this? :) Thanks guys

can you get to custom recovery or hboot ?

I have a i9020A of Canada Fido and I got the 4.0.4 OTA just now! From my 2.3.6 all stock, no root no unlock nexus s.

the package is 128.6M and I am still downloading it. Here is the method to help you to get it NOW!

Manage APPs -> ALL->Google services Framwork: clear data ->dial *#*#2432546#*#* (*#*#checkin#*#*)->GOT IT!

PS: It has been one day and many people posted that they received the OTA. It's NOT a April joke.... However, I know many people's nexus s don't work. As the OTA file is availiable already, you can easily manual flash it using stock recovery. I did the method above for half a day and finally got it (The method was originally from a Chinese forum http://bbs.gfan.com/viewthread.php?tid=3941961&extra=page%3D1%26amp%3B%20sortid%3D and http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3941883-1-1.html They got the OTA at 12:05pm, 31/3, Canada Eastern Time )

[Nexus S General] sidprak:
You say you're still on Android 2.3.4 so I would try flashing to 2.3.6 first using the update.zip and THEN flash the 4.0.4 update.zip

This is because the 4.0.4 update will only work on a stock 2.3.6.

Someone please correct me if I'm misunderstanding the issue here.
[Nexus S General] n31295:
Hey, my battery life has taken a hit with 4.0.4 also. I went to Settings>Battery and the only noticeable thing is that Screen is at 58%. Next is WhatsApp at 6%. Is it normal for Screen to be that high? Anyone have suggestions? I took my phone off the charger at 9:30am and it died at 7pm after low to moderate usage.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

EDIT to add: I had the brightness on high for a lot of the day, which is unusual for me. Will see how much juice I get tomorrow when I leave it dim as always.

EDIT2: DLed JuiceDefender, hopefully it'll help. Maybe that + dim will give me my magical combo.

WORKS

I have a nexus s i9020a on Koodo in Ontario, I didn't get the OTA but I installed using the IEzMw3FU.zip file, just download it from the link

h t t p : / / v 1 9 . l s cache7.c.android.clients.google . c o m / packages/data/ota/google_crespoa/IEzMw3FU . z i p

(the spaces are because I'm a new user :P)

this is a link connected with google and is official! Also I know this is official because google has released factory images on code.google.com for the i9020a.

When you have the IEzMw3FU.zip rename it update.zip and place on your nexus s. Next reboot and hold the power and volume up. Use volume down to go to recovery and press power. When you get the triangle press power and volume up and go to install update from sd. Find your update.zip and click. It will update.

This only works for STOCK. This means NO modifications in any way, such as radio, etc. When it finishes you can reboot. It will make your apps ready for 4.0.4. And VOILA! You're now running ICS! I update from 2.3.6 stock. Never modded. Hope this helps!

Solved status 7 message in my 4.0.3

Hi there, I had problems on updating to 4.0.4 from my stock rooted 4.0.3.

Just below the status 7 error I had some message related to build.prop file in /system/.

For me the solution was, overwrite (for sure first backup the file to your SD) with rootexplorer the file build.prop with the original one from 4.0.3 (just opened the zip file from version 4.0.3 full stock rom and inside system you'll find the build.prop file) then reboot twice to be sure and the the standard procedure to update with CWM.

Hope this helps somebody.
