[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nickert0n:
I know this has probably been asked before and I have googled and not found an answer so please in advance dont tear my head off. Thank you.

I have the TELUS SGH-T989D

My question is, will the T-Mobile SGH-T989 Screen Protectors/Cases fit my Telus version?

and secondly what sources/brands do you recommend (esp to hide not so deep scratches from being a drunk dumbass and putting your phone in with your keys).

Thank you in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] everythingsablur:
Yes, they are identical devices in every physical way.

I have always liked Zagg InvisiSHIELD protectors personally, though they can be a real pain to apply. As for a case, I just got a typical $15 TPU case at the mall. Works great, though I know it won't withstand getting run over by a car... I generally just plan to not have that happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nickert0n:
Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Only difference i can think of right off is simply the 989D has 'Samsung' logo above screen, t-mobiles has T-mobile (duh.. lmfao)

(Besides software that is..)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alicklee:
I though the telus one doesn't come with cornering gorilla class and the t-mobile one did.

There is a weight difference between the two devices and also size of the device have different measurements but not by much.

"Dimensions	t989:129.8 x 68.8 x 9.4 mm	t989d:131 x 67.3 x 9.4 mm"

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4129&idPhone2=4468 here is the comparison. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] magiconthetire:
I had a T989 from T-Mobile, now I'm using a Telus T989D. They are physically the exact same phone but the T989D is unbranded.. all cases and screen protectors will fit :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alicklee:
Good to know one thing I notice from the two phones is the stock roms are different I had use the Telus one with Telus radio on my TMobile one and it was causing all sorts of problem today. At least for me it did.

half the price of ZAGG and better quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessec:
I recently got the Telus T989D and have had 3 T989 screen protectors hang over the edge - maybe they were made wrong from the company because the Telus device seems to be taller, but it's strange they all fit the same way.

2 were from BodyGuardz and the third was just a cheap one from a local market where I got my cheap TPU case. I didn't expect the cheap market one to fit but highly surprised the BodyGuardz ones didn't, and unfortunate because I like those ones and applied it perfectly both times besides the size being too long. I would very highly accept a few mm too short but too long opens up a gap that dirt can get underneath and rub, and an edge to catch and pull up.. neither of which I want to risk

I will try the site linked above and see if they are any better :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
Yes, they will fit. Get either an ArmorSuit or Skinomi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natacrew:
For some time i am trying to make it work, but because i never ported a rom before i can't figure this one out.

I followed a few different porting guide's but unfortunately not successful. And my logcat logs where not very hopeful to find the solution.

So finally i am calling for help!!

Al what i need is a port that actually boot up.

further compatibility, tweak and update changes would not be to difficult for me.

I don't know if it will help but on July 12th will Flyme OS 1.0 officially come out.

So probably also a rom for the Meizu MX instead of only M9, this will maybe a advantage because the Meizu MX has more Similarities with Galays2.

Files is used:

CyanogenMod 9, ICS 4.0.4 Sorry downlink not allowed so google

Meizu m9 Flyme OS 1.0.5, ICS 4.0.3 Sorry downlink not allowed so google, or PM me for link to .zip file because Meizu uses a encrypted .bin

More screenshots of Flyme OS: Sorry not allowed so google

4 bars and connected to other apps that use the internet. Yet my message sits in the box queued for sending ...why? I've deleted the message. Tried recreating it..same. airplane mode on and off...same. rebooted same. WTF. It didn't do this yesterday.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerrudo:
I'm having the same problem too!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
I've had that issue here and there. Not sure what the problem is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
I get that too. I notice its when I have poor reception. Seems messages don't send on wifi.

Sent from my Sony Xperia ION.

No more queue when send pictures and receive right away
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Changed to what??

Edit nvm: didn't see there was another page where this was asked already.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Um can you take a ss or something of it to see what your put cause there is more settings than just that and need to know what fields you put those values.

I'm thinking if we change the default values of the MMSC and MMS Proxy to be:

http://mmsc.cingular.com

and

wireless.cingular.com that might take care of it. I know thats what values I have on my Xperia S for the MMS apn.

This is exactly what I had just for the mms apn on the Xperia S:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
That's the one but I tried in mobile network still queue but when I set in go sms then send right away
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerrudo:
Try leaving "apn type" blank
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
This is a network registration error. In some cases, you may find that after doing what is listed below, you have also missed a text or two as well when this happens. I'm not sure what causes this network registration error, but here is how to fix it:

Hold Volume Up + Power on your phone. The phone will shut down for a restart, and vibrate once. DO NOT LET GO OF THE BUTTONS. Continuing to hold these buttons, a few seconds later, the phone will vibrate 3 times. This forces the phone to completely shut down. Upon restarting, your message(s) should send, and any that you have missed should come through.

Until we find out what is ACTUALLY causing this, this is all I can offer as a solution.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Hi guys,

I tried many ICS roms some sense and other non-sense still all are laggy and no ICS rom is comparable with GB roms especially MIUI.GB .. is that true or I'm missing something here? Is it kernel source for Desire S? I don't think so as Virtuous Saga rom is laggy too :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Virtuous Saga is a leaked ROM, it isn't final and isn't fully polished/tested. Moreover, the kernel and ROM might be running in debug or partial debug mode, dumping lots of data and slowing down the system. The only other stock ICS ROM for testing is the community ROM from chinese OTA, but it doesn't have some of the functionality.

Given proper drivers or kernel adaptation, I don't think there should be any reason for slower ICS performance. One of the causes might be lack of kernel source, and adaptations for older binary drivers that are done to compensate for it. But it's only my opinion, not facts - I can't prove or disprove it.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Hi, have you tried AOKP? I just recently restored my old GB Sense ROM after having used AOKP for the last couple of months, just to see which one feels faster. After just one day I was back on AOKP. :laugh:
[HTC Desire S] rd74:
My opinion: all ICS ROMs for Desire S are still laggy and baggy in some way :) I've tried a couple of them and I'm still disappointed :( We are all hard waiting for HTC to release kernel 3.0 source. After that some problems with speed and stability will be fixed. And after that we'll see is "true" ICS on Desire S faster or not :) Until now - yes, faster. In my opinion, of course.
[HTC Desire S] Marvius:
I use icecoldsandwitch and like it very much.

Its based on the AOKP rom.

Still a bit laggy but as good as it gets. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
Does anyone know if Samsung is going to be putting out an official extended battery for the Galaxy S3? I don't trust the cheap "extended" third party batteries that are likely relabeled standard sizes with cheap cells, considering they're the exact same size, yet claim 1000+ mAh over the standard.

They did it for the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, but I have no idea when that battery came out in comparison to the Galaxy Nexus's launch.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
I just picked up the Hyperion extended battery and back cover.

first initial charge:

Almost 42 hours of use.

Just so you know, I loaded my s3 with as much load as I could:

Turned off auto bright set screen just past middle

Engaged all my "live" apps that Galway update, including eBay, tapatalk, xda pre., etc.

Turned on WiFi, blue tooth, data, and every possible battery trainer I could think of and put all my emails to push.

I you tubed the hell out of it, looked at some porn vids, played the greatest game ever made for android as much as possible, basically tried to get to zero as fast as possible.

42+ hours and then it went time red.

Hyperion is a very reliable battery.

Something else weird:

My WiFi signal was stronger.

Could be a placebo thing but I will report back again Friday, as I need to charge for 8 hours again. It is suggested to drain to red and charge fir 8 hours straight a few times.

Hyperion ftw !

Fyi 4000 ma.

Lol I even painted the battery cover world rally blue to match my scooby :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Nice car, I have a black '04. :good:

Do you have (or could you please post) a picture of the phone with the extended case sitting on a flat surface? I'm curious how much it makes the phone stick up. Also, have you come across any (protective) cases for extended battery backs?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BubZX:
that doesn't look any thicker than my epic did.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
I'll try to post up some comparison pics today later on

Also have not looked around for extended cases but I think I have seen some.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
OK so here's some comparison pics.

I used my htc rezound as something to compare it with. I think for some this at be to much, but the case actually makes the phone more ergonomical.

I loved the build of my amaze (resounds cousin) so for me the thickness isn't an issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
Oh forgot ... the bottom pics are of the OEM back . Yes I'm ghetto I put tape to protect it sue me.

:p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] QAM:
Hola

Another inquiry... Did you ever come across a thin phone case that was compatible with the extended battery cover?

Btw thanks for the info on the battery and accompanying photos.

Edit: ahhh never mind. I missed the post where you said that you have not looked for a case.

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freemeech:
Link to said extended battery? Is it for the Att lte or international SG3 ??

Blazing Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shazo85:
Need to keep an eye on this thread. I know I will be looking for an extended life batter at some time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
Just eBay it. Hyperion hasvtheir own account and (another reason I buy from them) they are in Michigan. Nice not to have to buy from China.

I paid 16$ for the battery and cover.

I think the buy it now was like 20$

I thought I saw cases for extended batteries on eBay but not sure.

I'm gonna 're do my back cover and clear cote it and see how I feel about it. I like the naked feel. I may just do a full invisible body armor or something.

Also I previously contacted andida they said extended batteries for the gs3 would be out soon and it appears they are on eBay ad of yesterday.

I may buy one just for comparison.

I think the Andida was 4500 as opposed to this one being like 4100ma or something.

Edit: just looked at the battery... made in China....lol. ah well. Still a good product.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vegandroid:
If you do end up finding a case that will protect the phone well and fits the extended battery then please post a link. I'm not going to buy an extended battery until I can buy a case for it. I have that bad habit of periodically dropping things. :banghead:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
I ordered the battery and back cover yesterday from Amazon, Hyperion has their own account there as well. Same price as ebay. Estimated delivery time is sometime in the next three weeks, but if anyone is still interested when I get it I can put up some more pictures.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ponyboy82:
I would very much appreciate that. Since the S3 is so thin already, I was thinking about getting an extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
That was my thought too. I never thought I'd say this, but it might actually be too thin. I also ordered a Seidio Active w/kickstand case, but that won't fit the extended battery.

Edit: A bit of new info I just found, Mugen is planning a 4600mAh battery w/cover and a protective case for it. They just recently released a 2300mAh battery, but the big one isn't out quite yet.

https://www.facebook.com/MugenPowerBatteries
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s60convert:
I have had great experiences with Seidio's extended batteries. I emailed them asking if they intend to make one for the G3. They replied and confirm that they will make one but would not give me any eta on it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] iGoOsE76:
I just bought a Anker battery rated @ 2200mAh.. I prefer swapping batteries vs. having a thicker and heavier phone. I have used Anker with the sensation and the amaze. never let me down.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shazo85:
I had the Power brand from them for my EVO 4G. That thing ran all day with me playing games from time to time and playing on the internet. I think I might have went to the red maybe 3 or 4 times with that thing and it was late at night. I will be keeping an eye out for it from them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s60convert:
One thing about the Seidio is their "soft coat" battery door. Unlike the oem cover which I find slippery, this soft coat gives a slight resistance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] johnross2007:
I am looking to buy the seidio active with kickstand. This Commuter is too slippery! If I were to buy it, could I reasonably expect that seidio's eventual extended battery will fit in it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Tenkie:
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread too, as I am interested in investing in an extended battery...

Can someone in a LTE market do some LTE usage tests; additionally, can you post display on/battery usage screenies?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] johnross2007:
Also, any nfc-capable extended batteries? I hear Hyperion is not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
I have the Verizon model, I'll post the details when I get the new battery.

The Mugen battery will supposedly have NFC, the Hyperion doesn't. I don't use NFC so it doesn't much matter to me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
with an extended battery? because on the stock battery I get about 3.5 hours of screen on time. I might get 4 if I let it completely drain out. this is with 4g lte (verizon) on, wireless on, bluetooth off, nfc off, auto-brightness.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
Attached was usage from the other day, right as I plugged in.

I used 4G all day long, no bluetooth or wifi.

It's much better than my last phone, especially considering it was on LTE all day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
I guess I got lucky because my (stock) battery life has been excellent. I can easily go all day without needed to charge the phone until I get home in the evening, with the same settings you described (and some GPS use). I do have my screen set to timeout/turn off after 15 seconds, so that might have something to do with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
yeah I forgot to mention that I had my gps on and off throughout the day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] G1_enthusiast:
legit review now...will get it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
Legit comment ... will now comment back...

:lol:

Pics from my second full charge. A little disappointed but maybe another super drain and charge will get me more screen time. Also not on the phone as much over the weekend being outside and all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
I just got my Hyperion battery and cover. I'm going to give it the full 12 hour charge it calls for before testing it for longevity, so I can't comment on that yet. But here is my initial opinion:

The cover is purple. If you don't like the "blue" stock cover because it's too purple, you won't be thrilled with this. It's like diluted dimetapp purple.

On the plus side, it's mostly constructed well. I say mostly because there's an odd black rectangle right in the middle of the inside of the case, and on the outside of the case that area is a lighter shade of purple. I'll try to post a picture of it when I get home. But it feels solid and even has a tiny extra little ridge on the upper left corner to help with taking it off.

The case isn't squared, it angles inward from the edges. It makes the rest of the body of the phone act as kind of a ridge or lip that makes it easier to hold.

This battery is HEAVY. You definitely won't have to worry about the S3 being "too thin" with this monster installed.

USB and headphone jacks line up perfectly and their respective devices plug in with no problems.

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

I'm not a big fan of the extra bulk, but if the battery lasts a long time I'll use it for things like music/movies on flights, or GPS on my motorcycle, where the extra size and weight won't really matter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
LOL, no kidding.

I just put one on myself, the bulk/weight doesn't bother me at all but I used a mugen 4000 battery on my rezound so I'm used to it'.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
My last phone was a Droid X, the extended battery was I think 1880mah? And the GS3 with the stock battery is thinner and lighter than the DX. This battery and case literally doubles the thickness and weight of the phone, or at least it feels that way. I'll weigh everything out when I get home (I'm a geek like that :cool: ).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Stock battery: 38g

Stock cover: 8g

Hyperion battery: 73g

Hyperion cover: 12g

So it's just short of double the weight of the original parts. Makes sense since the battery is just short of double the original (2100 vs 4000).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rjmac720:
any word on the best one without any nfc interference
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Monk33y:
Battery!

I am seeing about the same usage.... I think a slight extended battery would be a plus for me. I just don't want to much additional bulk!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
I forget to add, the back cover they sent me is totally different than the one shown here.

My cover looks EXACTLY like the stock cover, just wider. It is exactly the same color & is slippery as hell (which I don't really like)

This battery is weird, I need a big battery to stream audio all day at work (iheart radio or sirius online)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DangerIsGo:
Does anyone know if they make a ~3000mAh battery with the same dimensions so as not to lose the form factor? I'd like a little increase in battery capacity but not so much that it dramatically increases the phones slim size and don't want to spend to get a battery thats only 200mAh greater than stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Ok, just finished my initial test. I charged the battery all day and overnight when I got it, and started the test at 10am PST yesterday. I took this screenshot about 20 seconds before the phone powered off:

Right after unplugging the charger I fired up the battery test in the Antutu Tester. I let it run for about five hours, got bored, and decided to just use it like I normally would. I had all of the functions enabled- GPS, bluetooth, wifi, 4G, etc. Even NFC, even though this battery doesn't do NFC. Screen on and Standby time were equal, and Idle time was 2%.

I'd say that's pretty good considering I was TRYING to kill the battery. Wouldn't be surprised to see two days' use out of it in normal circumstances.

On a related note, the extra weight and thickness isn't so bad now that I'm used to it. The extended back does make it more comfortable to hold. I just wish there were a case for the extended back, it is pretty slippery.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Here's my second test result. There's a lot of standby time because I left it on overnight... twice!

I usually keep my phone plugged in when I'm at work, and always before I go to sleep, so I don't think I'll ever run out of power with this battery.
