[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] reylankz:
The headphones jacks that come with the phone fit and so does my regularly Sony ear buds on don't have any problem fitting the charger in so honestly if your going to buy or go with what u don't know about obviously there's a possibility your going to end up with something that's simply too big for the case hole cut outs ..the bumper that goes around the tpu is plastic and I have no patients for w.e fancy name spigen wants to give it does seem fragile and I would have preferred metal
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
I got the wireless charging cover last week and it added just a little bulk and the case wouldn't fit. Are you using the neo hybrid case with metal bumper? Are you sure it fits without any issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] limitbreak09:
I have the neo hybrid as well and its perfectly fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
I am stumped. I have the same case and it doesn't allow me to use the buttons with wireless charging back on the phone that is just a tad bigger than regular back cover. Do you have a picture of your case or the link for the case if you don't mind sharing?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] limitbreak09:
This is the link to the case Im using

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-METAL...713&sr=1-6-catcorr&keywords=galaxy+alpha+case

Also, im not a fan of wired/wireless charging. I keep swapping my battery all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
I have the same case. My 2500mah battery arrives next week and hopefully it will work for me as well with the same case
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Giuseppe96:
nice battery
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] arsenalfreak:
Did you get it already? Would be nice if you could make photos of the phone with 2500 battery and spigen neo hybrid case on!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Azon:
I am also interested in whether the case really fits with an extended battery on.

Can you give us an update?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
It's still on the way from UK to US. I will post pics and provide an update once I get it.

On a separate note I have to get rid of wireless charging back that bought a couple of weeks back. Anybody on this thread interested in getting it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Carambolero:
And why would you sell it.

I wanted to buy 2500mah battery, some slim case and a QI wireless charger (plus Alpha SlimPWRcard - 0.5mm Qi Receiver for Samsung Galaxy Alpha) which you can adapt to the case. This would be awesome.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
I already have Qi receiver also that I can use with the 2500mah battery but the wireless back cover is of no use to me as I cannot use it with the bigger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Carambolero:
There are people saying that original cover (or cover for extended battery) would not fit. Did you had any issues with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stivelio:
Update: I have removed the spigen case and am using it without case now as the phone feels pretty comfortable without the case with the added weight of the big battery .

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

So I received the battery like 10 minutes ago and put it on my alpha with the slim wireless receiver card I ready have and voila the spigen case still fits :)

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

The original cover will not work. You have to use the cover that comes with the extended battery and it seemed to fit fine for me even with the slim card wireless receiver inside. I'm using a spigen case with it and so I will probably not pay much attention to the cover as I won't see it with the case anyway

2500 mah kit EB-EG850BBE is no longer sold on ebay nor Amazon. :(

It was a good and nice looking phone, don't know why they stopped it.

I guess i'll buy the case and screen protection only then.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bbfoto:
I live in the U.S.A. (Los Angeles) but I ordered the Glaxy Alpha Extended Battery Kit from AMAZON UK from a seller named "VALLOOOOOO" (this seller is actually located in Marseilles, France)!

If you choose to buy from the seller "VALLOOOOOO" on Amazon.co.uk, they will SHIP this item WORLD-WIDE for FREE! The price is £28.48 at this time, and with the exchange rate and Amazon exchange fees I was charged a total of $46.52 USD. However, I don't know if there will be any import/customs duties or taxes for you when purchasing from the UK and shipping to Argentina?

This item is incorrectly listed as a "Samsung Power Accumulator Replacement Battery for Galaxy Alpha G850F - Black", and the product photo only shows the back cover. Also in the Product Description, it incorrectly states that the included battery is "exactly the same as the one supplied with your phone, it has the same capacity". That information is incorrect! It actually is the Official Samsung #EB-EG850BBEGWW, "Samsung GALAXY ALPHA Extended Battery Kit" (UPC# 8806086490634) that includes both the deeper/thicker rear battery cover (black color) and the Official Samsung Korea 2500mAh Battery! These Official Samsung 2500mAh batteries do have the internal NFC chip.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Accumulator-Replacement-Battery-Galaxy-black/dp/B00P2UME8Y/ref=pd_cp_ce_0

Make sure to Choose the seller "VALLOOOOOO" to get FREE Shipping (the other sellers cost more for shipping Internationally)...Hopefully they will still be available!

EDIT: I also found both the Black & White Extended Battery Kit on the U.S.A. eBay site, but from a seller located in Granada, Spain. They listed "More Than 10 Available" for both the White and Black version. They are expensive....currently at €42.90 + €5.90 Shipping, so with the exchange rate it would be about $55 USD when Shipped to the U.S.A. as of May 20, 2015. Here are the Links:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
question

i wish to buy the 2500mah extended battery but i dont know if it will fit with the ringke fusion case - http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-Pr.../dp/B00NEX5SKC

anyone has tried this case with the extended battery?

the case is too good to change it with another, if it does not fit i will not buy the battery...

or you may give me some alternatives of cases that sourely fits with the extended battery...

dunno what to do
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bbfoto:
I doubt that the Ringke Fusion Case will fit on the Alpha when the Extended Battery Kit's 2500mAh battery and special (thicker) back cover are installed. The Ringke case is a very tight-fitting, and very Hard TPU case, so it will not stretch at all to accommodate the larger battery and cover. Your best bet will be a "2 piece" case like the Spigen (Neo Hybrid?) that was mentioned earlier in the thread and has a soft inner liner with a hard outer shell. I will try the Incipio DualPro case in a week or so and let you know if it fits.

http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-DualPro-Samsung-Galaxy-Alpha/dp/B00MPR8UYY/

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] limitbreak09:
It fits and the buttons responds really well. I'll post the cases that fits with xtnded battery when i get the chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bbfoto:
Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation...oh, wait, do you mean the Spigen Neo Hybrid will fit, OR the Ringke Fusion? Or maybe both? I guess we'll find out after you post about all of the cases that fit & work well with the Extended Battery Kit. ;) THANKS!

EDIT: I saw your other thread here with the great pictures of the Galaxy Alpha & the Extended Battery Kit with your blue Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Glad it fits! Thanks for that post... http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-alpha/general/2500-mah-extended-battery-neo-spigen-t3098541

And thanks also for the information in that thread about the Ringke Fusion Case. So Yes, it does fit, but the front lip no longer protrudes forward around the perimeter of the screen (so you lose both "face down on tabletop" protection & drop protection for the screen), so IMHO it is not a satisfactory solution. This is what I meant above when I stated that the Ringke Fusion is tight and will not stretch to accommodate the extra bulk of the extended battery kit.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] calam12:
Great find. Now out of stock

I think I took the last one from this seller. I've been looking for days. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

Anyone know if the baseus aluminum bumper will fit the extended kit?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bbfoto:
Quick update. The Incipio DualPro case for the Alpha will not fit well when using the Extended Battery Kit. The inner,soft liner doesn't quite stretch enough to fit perfectly around the perimeter edges of the screen where the lip protrudes to protect the screen. The lip still does stand above the face of the screen, but the sides or edges don't stay "tight" to the edges of the phone...there is a slight gap.

This would still be functional and protect the face of the screen, but the outer shell of the case doesn't seat completely around the liner and the corners stick out slightly with a gap.

So I tried cutting a long, single slit down the middle of the inner soft liner, from the bottom center of the camera opening to the micro-USB port opening. This helped quite a bit and the soft liner wraps *almost* perfectly around the full perimeter and edges of the phone. The outer hard shell also fits quite well with a little bit of work and the power/wake and volume rocker buttons still work perfectly.

I REALLY like the overall design of this case, however, in the end, I just don't care for the "soft touch" texture that Incipio decided to use on the outer hard shell of this DualPro case. It is like a very "slippery velvet" for lack of a better description. It also "soaks up" a lot of the oils from your skin/hands and makes it a nasty, greasy, slippery/slimy feeling. It's unfortunate, because otherwise I love this case.

EDIT: Also the Seller at the Links below no longer has the BLACK Extended Battery Kit available. They still have a few of the White kits. This seller located in Granada, Spain. They are expensive....currently at €42.90 + €5.90 Shipping, so with the exchange rate it would be about $55 USD when Shipped to the U.S.A. as of May 20, 2015. Here are the Links, BUT note that they ONLY have the WHITE ones available even if the Link says they have the BLACK "available":

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Enzemo:
there are actually more mAh with the same size, but it doesnt fit in this phone. u have two ways: lots of mAh and dont care about high consumption or low mAh and optimize the consumption

anyway, it's pity that there isnt a battery with like +200 mAh in the same size, would be enough for me

i just bought the http://www.ebay.com/itm/161568735049.

lets hope this stupid country where i live in dont charge me the full import taxes

just so you know, import taxes are higher than the actual price of the product with shipping rate.

that 48.5 EUR becomes around 101 eur after federal and state taxes.

Hi,

A friend of mine recently returned from China with a Coolpad 8675, which he gave to me. I tried to install various apps such as Google Search and the Play Store, to no avail. This makes it impossible to use apps like Google+ and Ingress. This is quite annoying, and i was wondering if there was a solution to this problem. I really have no idea how android phones work or how to do stuff like rooting, so basic solutions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

LeCrazyPanda

Hi I have one and i had same problem.

First you must root phone, that is simple and here is instructions:

after that you can manualy install GAPPS.

I get Universal Pico from Paranoid then unzip it on pc and create this pack https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzMLUR1MF4g3RHBqQjBsTGlyVm8/view?usp=sharing

You must copy to Phone disk and manualy copy to system folder directories.

EACH FILE YOU MUST MANUALY SET PERMISSION 644

AND DIRECTORY \etc\preferred-apps\ THAT YOU CREATE MUST SET PERMISSION 755

After that you must restart phone and enjoy

For Copy and set permissions i use Root Explorer that you must manualy install from disk

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagen656:
Hi directories from my zip (app, etc, framework, lib, priv-app) must extract to /system directory. Means

files from zip/GAPPS/etc/preferred-apps/*.xml copy to /system/etc/preferred-apps/*.xml on your phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagen656:
Read my first post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiviuTM:
Hagen656 solution works, tried & tested

Do exactly as [MENTION=1477026]Hagen656[/MENTION] says: copy ALL files from GAPPS, *.apk *.jar *.xml *.so into the corresponding folders from the /system/ folder on your phone. If the folder is not present in /system/ on your phone, copy the entire folder from GAPSPS. You don't have to install anything, just to change permissions to 755 for /system/etc/preferred-apps/ folder and to 644 for ALL files (including the ones from /system/etc/preferred-apps/).

To understand file permissions in Android, read this:

http://androidforums.com/threads/understanding-android-file-permissions.73177/

For changing file permissions, I used ES File Explorer, you can directly download the .apk from here http://www.estrongs.com/?lang=en

After installing ES File Explorer, you need to install ES Permission Manager plugin, which can be found here http://getandroidapp.org/applications/libraries-demo/93311-es-permission-manager-plugin-1-0.html
