I just got the battery in and I stalled. So far its nice. I used dream kernel too and it actually made my battery worse before I got this one. Trying siyah now. Used fluxxi too

Had this battery for a few days now, and I can say that it is very good, I dont know if I would say that it is quite double the capacity, but almost I think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] InfantryMarc:
Mine is still settling in, had issues with the ROM I think. Think it said it'll take 5-6 charges to be fully set in tho

Be careful, It doesn't say it specifically for the ATT&T Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) and might give you the boot loop issue other have had with certain batteries.

Good luck, let us know.

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

I just received this QCell today. According to my phone it came with a 75% charge. I was a bit surprised to see it come with such a high charge. I will charge it overt night and give it 5 - 6 complete charge cycles and see it give me the batter life I'm hoping for.

Honestly if give me decent increase over my stock battery I'll be happy considering the price paid. My stock battery currently end the day at about 33% with relatively light use and e-mail sync off. I hope this battery will allow me to turn e-mail sync back on with out worries of making it through the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] icyhandlz:
Its ok

Hey guys,

I have had the battery for about a month. It is a good battery no doubt. I would regularily get about 30-36 hrs depending on my usage and service area. It definitely got me through a full day. It does add some bulk but its not unbearable. So for the price if you need it to last a full day and you aren't by charges its a good purchase. I work in an office now and got a car charger so I went back to normal battery for the slimness because I am always around a charger now.

Hope that helps a couple people if they are on the fence.

Just wanted to report back. Yesterday was my first day using this battery. Admittedly, I'm not a heavy user since I have tablet, but my old battery was giving me very poor battery life. Last week on a couple of days I hit 33% by 8 pm when I failed to charge it during the day. On my first day with the QCell extended battery I was at 63% at 8pm.

I'm currently at 33% after 1 day 53 min 53 sec on battery. Day one was a good improvement from what I was getting if it gets better after 5 - 6 charge cycles I'll be very happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] InfantryMarc:
Mine is still settling in. But I make it on average almost a full day before it dies. But I'm a super heavy user so that may factor into it also. But I also switched ROMs due to a lot of random reboots which kills battery also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RojasTKD:
Quick update one my first use I went 36 hours and 2 minutes before the phone shut itself off. At the end of the night I turned on Bluetooth and wifi and played a little dead trigger to try and run it down a bit so I could put it back on the charger. I can't really ask for much more than that.

Not sure if it can improve but going to do the 5 - 6 charge cycles anyway and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] InfantryMarc:
Yea last night I went over 18 hours before it got close to needing charged, like 23% and had over 4 hours of screen time and a few reboots. Keeps steadily getting higher with each charge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RYANWSCOTT:
im going to go ahead and order this one...sounds like some great battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RojasTKD:
Well, I got about the same amount of battery time 1day 12 hours (36 hours and some change) as I did the first time. But i did use my phone a lot more and had more screen time by about an hour. I have to say getting 2 days of use from my smartphone is AWESOME.

Not sure I should continue with the charge cycles, I have 4 or 5 more to go but not sure if I can ask for much more. Besides it a pain having to get my phone to die at the end of day two so I can put it on the charger for the next day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] InfantryMarc:
Yesterday I got bout 16 hours out of it before it got to like 14% but I had over 5 hours of screen time and had data,sync,WiFi, and brightness up a lil.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mipakr:

62% after 1 day, 19 hours, 50 minutes!

So, I finally caved and purchased one of these today. It won't arrive until Monday though because I waited until after 1 and two day shipping pushed passed the weekend at that point. I'll be sure to leave feedback on the battery life. Hopefully the back I get fits well. I started seeing reviews about receiving the wrong back. Here's to hoping.

So it's been about 3 months since I bought this battery according to my previous review on this thread.

And I have to say, it's a great battery. Still going strong. Still lasts me the whole day and more. Cover has been opened and closed a ton of times by now and still holds tight and good. This really is a great battery and I really would recommend it to others.

Do you have a problem? I wanted to purchase this battery but I couldn't because it was sold out so I bought another generic that had the same mah rating and figure I'd post my results for people that might be looking for an alternative.

Great battery, getting almost 2 days of usage with 7+ hours of screen time and a couple hours of data usage :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OneOfMany07:
Would love the longer battery life, but not sure I'd be happy with the "back tumor". And the price is very affordable too. Just wish it was a more rounded lump that was spread a bit more. But that'd likely drive the costs up as it would have to be a custom battery not just a custom cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] putzini:
I really don't understand why people complain about the "aesthetics" of the damn phone when using an extended battery. Face it, except for those 2 Motorola phones, most Android phones have crappy battery life with the Standard battery. I have had this battery for 2 months and it works perfectly fine (im on Stock and not Rooted - anyone in San Francisco wanna help me Root it ?? -PM me ) Anyway, I am a medium-heavy user and I was getting almost 40 hrs of use. That is until the damn 4.04 update which has ruined this phone. The lovely Sleep of Death, which I have at least minimized using the n"clock" method, the sluggishness, Handcent Notifications just stop for no reason until I reboot...

The one big thing missing for this battery is a CASE ! I see that Q Cell now has cheap TPC cases for the extended battery for the S III, but not the S II. Has anyone found a case that fits with the QCell battery ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dirtbikerr450:
The case in the OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MassimoUA:
How holds the battery if the wife likes to play online toy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] putzini:
The battery life is overall great if you can deal with the bulge and heat !! If you play with it for say, more than 1/2 hr straight, it gets HOTT. It all depends on how you have things set. I am a moderate to heavy user and as long as you use something like Power Toggles to easily turn off WiFi, GPS , etc. to the lowest settings you can deal with, it helps extended the life. I have gotten close to 48 hrs in the past

QCell wrote me back and said that creating even a "basic" case like they have for the S3 would be cost prohibitive? Huh? Well, the S3 is the same dimensions for all versions, unlike the S2 which has too many damn differences. Well I learned my lesson here about extended batteries. There are a few other companies out there that make a competing battery and most have a case to go along with it

I may be selling this phone and hopefully getting a non Samsung phone with better signal and WiFi strength if its possible. I've never had more bad luck than with Samsung phones and I know I am not alone.

I really wish someone could guide me to a damn Android phone that has most of the specs of the S3, as good or better of a camera and video, SD card support and removable battery support. I am DONE with contracts so I need an Unlocked GSM World phone that has HSPA+ radios so i can get the best data speeds possible on net10 or other GSM mvno's.

So are you suggesting for my rom?

Thanks and sorry for my poor english

mmmm well i personally prefer rage kernel but it is actually about taste, you can always try it for a couple of days and change it if you don't like it; it will not mess up with the rom data so it will only take a couple of minutes to change it.

i am currently using xkernelv4, no additional tweaks made for cpu gov and i/o. just leave it at default settings.

still currently testing it, was using rage before, might go back to bbooff once he releases a new one.

still a matter of preference,

You may want to use xkernel v4 by kish. It is stable and battery friendly, everythng is running smooth. CPU and I/O governor also included should you want to OC. :D

Hi guys this post is mainly for everyone using a livedock with a keyboard...just now I've been playing with the keyboard trying to figure out how I can bring the notifcation bar down via keyboard as I have not got a spare mouse. I come across these shortcuts. Hope they help:

1) The windows key or the home key takes you back to the home screen

2) enter key selects highlighted app or buttion

3) pg up/pg down acts as it does on windows I.e. scrolling up or down

4) the little menu button next to the right alt and right ctrl brings up the menu of android...I.e. on the home screen pressing this key will bring up the shortcut for adding widgets changing wallpaper accessing settings etc

5) holding down the windows key will bring up the recently open apps

So far this is what I've found. If I find anymore I will add to the list. If anyone comes across anymore shortcuts feel free add :)

Hi people,

Got some weird thing with my external keyboard since a few updates, hope you guys can help me out with this. Using [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1 (Android 2.3.7) just reinstalled my complete phone and removed everything.

Problem: I can no longer typ 2 letters in a row like e, i, u, etc. without getting stuff like ë, í, ü etc. I have to wait a second all the time before typing the same letter. Did try qwerty and EURO QWERTY from boot menu, but they both have the same problem.

I also tried alot of keyboards from the market but couldn't find a propper one.

I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks,

Sounds more like a hardware failure honestly. On my Droid I experience somewhat of the same thing, certain letters will not work after more than one was used. for example I can type a word than start typing can't and it will be cnt. it happens with vowels.

Thanks for your reaction but im not really sure about a hardware failure. I had it working with some kind of keyboard from the market but the phone gets slow by loading that when I want to text, so i dont want that. And its with every letter that is able to get 'üïóé' some kind of sign on top of it. Sorry for bad explanation but cant find the right words. Hope you understand the problem.

This happend a few updates ago from cyanogenmod.

[HTC Sensation] mattiep:
Hiya guys,

I'm so sorry if this question has been asked, I've tried to search through but found nothing that relates to my situation.

I made the switch from iPhone to a Sensation XE and was interested in jailbreaking / rooting.

I successfully S-OFF'd, rooted my XE but haven't been running a custom ROM, finally today o2 pushed the ICS updated and I downloaded it, went to install it and a warning triangle with a little android appeared, obviously I panicked and took the battery out, my phone is working fine now without the update being applied.

My recovery info is:

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.17.111

RADIO- 10.14.9035.02_2

eMMC-boot

I was wondering if I would have to flash a custom ICS ROM to get ICS or if it was possible to install the OTA update whilst keeping S-OFF?

Sorry if I have misunderstood something obvious, thanks for looking.
[HTC Sensation] asz:
I'm in exactly the same situation. Would a factory reset solve it or is that only going to restore the OS back to it's original state?
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Was it a triangle or a question mark? Having the same issue here, started a new thread about it.

I'm hoping against hope that someone is able to help me through this!
[HTC Sensation] asz:
Triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle for me.

I'm guessing I need to remove S-OFF and root from the phone before attempting the update again.

I'd rather get the OTA update than flash it myself.
[HTC Sensation] Sindroid:
Why not just flash Stock rom?

Sensationaly sent from my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] asz:
I've looked through some of the other posts and came across this same scenario a few times. It looks like the solution is to re-install the stock rom so the custom recovery is reverted back to stock. This should allow the OTA update.

I'm going to try this tomorrow, will post here if I have any luck.
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
The chump at O2 Ireland told me on the phone today that ICS was only possible on the Samsung SII.

Thanks for the advice guys, my warning thing was a triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it and a little android by the side, all buttons were non responsive.

From the sound of it flashing a stock ROM seems to be the only way to go, will try later on and post back.

You can't be rooted to flash an OTA as the system files the ICS OTA patches have to match
