I've had that battery for about 2 weeks now. I get roughly 24 - 30 hours before charge. That is with everything i can think of turned on and brightness at 100%. Actually I DONT keep wi-fi turned on much. But other than that everything is running. This includes streaming music about 2 hours a day, listening to mp3's and playing Jewel Lust while on the train for about 2 hours a day(round trip to work and back). I'm also in a spotty t-mobile reception area of my office building..so its searching for 3G and stuff for 6 hours a day in total. also have auto sync for what ever I can enabled. when i first recieved the battery I wall charged with power off for 24 hours, ran till dead, charged another 24 and ran till dead, Now i charge over night (8 hours) but still have around 20%-30% of the battery left before i go to sleep. I used it a lot for work, so i need go be sure it won't die at a random time. I'm using JF ADP 1.5 w/LucidREM App2Sd and radio version ...2.22.19.261.

I love this battery. Think its an increase of about 20 hours or so of phone life. I like the added size as well. I have large hands and when i shoulder the phone, its A LOT more comfortable. :D

I recently bought a 2200mAh extended battery from a UK ebay seller for £12 including delivery.

Am using it today, and I dont mind the increase in size, because actually it isnt an increase in size for me, since I used to keep the phone in a black crystal case before, which I have now taken off, and the size of the phone then, and now is maybe different by a mm (which is evident by the fact that it still fits comfortably into the belt case I previously used).

Looking forward to being able to use the phone without worrying about battery life, need to calibrate the battery a few times and will hopefully be able to measure how long its lasting. For the majority of the time I hardly use my phone, so it should, God willing, last absolutely ages.
[G1 Accessories] Crackbone:
I've purchased the 1600 mAh battery from Fommy, been using it about a month now. It's actually a 1700 mAh battery. It works well. Gives me about 25% more juice, maybe 30%. doesn't change the size. I'm happy with it.
[G1 Accessories] raukodur:
if you can find a leather v610 belt case (this was a camera made by kodak) it is a PERFECT fit, I have one, since I own the camera, and have started using it for my phone since it uses velcro fastening.

For my camera I went online and bought a cheap g1 magnetic case since the size is the same.

Only thing is, these leather cases for the v610 are rare, ebay is best bet, and you will probably have to wait a while, if you ever happen to see on selling on its own (the only one I got was with a camera).

tough cases

i tend to drop my phones ALOT A well i like this phone ad i dont wanna break it or anything like that and my friend just got an awesome iphone(do i dare speak that name in here) case that seems pretty damn tough all i can find for the g1 is leather with magnets crappy plastic and not to tough looking silicone so i was wondering if anyone has found a strong protective case...dont get me wrong im not looking for military grade here just something better than silicone.

**found one wondering if anyone has any exp with this case or cases like this**

http://shop.brando.com.hk/brando-workshop-t-mobile-g1-metal-case_p03017c0001d004.html

I use a Fishbone case in red.

http://www.wirelessground.com/g1fishorblack.html

they are tough, half silicone and half plastic. Feels good, looks cool. But the design is pretty unique, so I don't know if you will like the look or not. It has a shiny metallic look to it too.

They come in green, red, blue, orange, and more and are less than 10 dollars on eBay.
[G1 Accessories] bladepbc:
ur right very unique...i dont like the bi-color ..best ive seen so far...thats kinda how my friends iphone case is bottom half is rubber(for chargeing purposes) and the top half is hard plastic covered in rubber gives it a real "rugged" look
[G1 Accessories] legaleye2005:
Best G1 Case?

I had a Incipio Feather case for my iPhone. Is there one that is similar for the G1? I like very thin cases, even rubberized/gel types are fine. No clear cases or bulky. I would NOT use a belt clip either.

Thanks
[G1 Accessories] legaleye2005:
What is the stock battery's capacity? 1600mah?
[G1 Accessories] KidJethro:
After a few days I've noticed that the phone seems to get confused as to what the actual charge level is. After a reboot the charge level is always different than it was before. If it's 55% before, it'll be 60-61% after. I think this can be fixed with a couple good calibrations. I've only done one so far...If I could manage to quit playing Robo Defense, I might be able to test my theory. :eek::D
[G1 Accessories] samiam010203:
i bought the battery about a week ago. so far all is grate.

with heavy twittering, txting, youtube, browsing and facebook i start at 6am with 100% charge. after 7pm im only down to 74% charge. i guess i would be able to go two days without charging if i wanted to.
[G1 Accessories] raukodur:
1150mAh is the stock size.
[G1 Accessories] Wisefire:
Yeah, This is what I have, mines red, their really nice.. I quit using it though, I got it signed at a rock concert and the name is starting to smear off. Haha.
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Man, if they made that fishbone case for phones with extended batteries, I would buy one in a heartbeat...
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Speaking of concerts, if that thing is signed by Taylor Swift ill buy it off you for a hundred.

LOL actually you should get this

[G1 Accessories] riflepwnage:
i just bought my case from ETS

got the silcone one cheap and works great :D
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I just liked to add that I had a Shield Skin under my fishbone case, and my fishbone case actually dyed my Shield Skin red. Also, I keep my white headphones in my pocket with my phone, which has also been dyed red. Bit of an annoyance, I question the quality of the material, but for the price, it looks good haha.
[G1 Accessories] mer6:
I've got sort of a problem... well actually a problem. I need an extended back for a black G1. I've got a Sedio 2600mAh extended battery and the case that I've got on there is fractured in a few sections near the miniUSB jack (don't ask how, I do not know @_@). This problem causes the case to slide off on occasion and it's pretty damned obnoxious. I was using duct tape when it was cold out to hold it on, but I don't want it to get the sticky stuff inside of it.

Does anyone know where I can get a new case backing that would fit the extended battery? It's really concerning to have it just sort of always loose.

repost from a locked thread, I was referred here
[G1 Accessories] xjreyes:
I've been lookin for you but still no luck... that sucks that it's cracked.. that is what has been keeping me from buying an extended battery bc i dont know where to get an extra battery door... much luck to you.. and ill keep lookin for you as well...
[G1 Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
i have the soft silicone case and the buttons are hard to press it fits pretty nice and looks even better but i ended up taking it off because of the button pressing .

that fishbone looks really tight. originally that fishbone case started as just a back piece without the front piece and without the fishbone layover so it was just rubber at first.

the buttons were really easy to click only thing with it just being rubber was that it flexed too much on the top part and always wanted to fall off but that fishbone looks like it fixed that and i might actually see into getting that one
[G1 Accessories] sole3s:
Golla case?

Does anyone have one of these? I was thinking of ordering one but the pictures are a bit vague. If possible can you just let me know if you like it and if it's not too much trouble maybe a few pics?

Thanks for your time =)

whats up with fommy? they charged my cc, but then i see they are out of stock.

[G1 Accessories] ma3a20:
So imagine if the Magic or i7500 got an extended battery as well. It would get to about the thickness of the G1 with much more juice XD I'm gonna recommend to my bro as well :D

Calibrating battery

Hi,

what is the best procedure to calibrate the G1's battery (2300ma for me) and maximise its life?

Thanks
[G1 Accessories] wilkil973:
Yeah...I need help with my batter as well. After flashing the new SPL, my battery will charge but after an hour it only goes up about 5%. If I reboot my phone, the light goes green and it's up to 100%.

Any suggestions??
[G1 Accessories] momentarylapseofreason:
Search button broken?
[G1 Accessories] raukodur:
use the phone until it switches off by itself (i.e. battery is totall drained), then charge the phone while it is off until the green light is shown (i.e. fully charged), after doing this a couple of times the phones battery meter should accurately represent the actual battery life, and it will be 'calibrated', making it seem like you have better battery life.
[G1 Accessories] lucky 69:
well the threads ive search on here one will tells you to drain, one tells you to leave it on charger. but as always a little commit ,without helping the person out.you have time to leave commit,but no link to the thread to its in. may he did search,but not sure.This is a forum,not a chat room for a select few.i just like to see more help, instead of bashing the people till they have a couple of 100 post or what ever it takes to get respect on here!!! i love this site. its a great place to get all the info on phones and help.:)

pouch or band for jogging?

Has anybody seen a pouch or belt/armband for jogging?

I like to use my G1 when I go jogging to track my route and listen to music. Right now I use the headset that came with the phone and the phone is bouncing around my pocket. Obviously, it's not ideal.

I have a Motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset/headphone on order. And I want to see what's available in the way of an armband or hip pouch/clip or whatever would work for jogging. I think the G1 is a little big for an armband, and I have yet to see anything like what I am looking for. I was thinking about modifying the neoprene pouch that comes with G1 for this purpose.

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

The Arm band

Here is one arm band: http://www.iarmbands.com/product.sc...C1483023DE1FA37E966.qscstrfrnt01?productId=21

And my favorite case is: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-54435/T-Mobile+G1+Waterproof+Case.html

(I service Digital Billboards 80-120 ft. up, in all weather, so this works great.)
[G1 Accessories] bfreexxx:
Thanks for the suggestions. The case is a bit bulky for what I'm intending to use it for (jogging). The armband is pretty basic, I've seen better designs (in my opinion. I like that there are accessories like the all-weather. That is a serious case. Don't think I'll ever need it unless I want to surf the internet while surfing a wave or scuba diving.

Thanks, and keep bringing the suggestions!

What retail stores sell class 6 SD cards?

i checked bestbuy and many others and highest i can find is class 4, i found them online but am wondering if any retail stores carry Class 6
[G1 Accessories] Mi|enko:
Fry's doesn't carry 'em either. Checked today. Newegg's your best bet.
[G1 Accessories] Dladu:
Im not sure but you might want to try Radio Shack. They are normally good with that sort of thing ;)
[G1 Accessories] texanman:
you are not going to get a class 6 for a very good price from a retail store because they tend to jack up the price of class 6 like no tomarrow. I would try newegg.com for one...I got my 8gb class 6 for 12.99 free shipping on sale (normaly 16)
[G1 Accessories] Iceucold:
Good find! Anyone found a quicker way to check?
[G1 Accessories] gmg3002:
I was wondering if anyone could give me a solution to my battery problem. I unchecked the the wireless location in security and fully charged my phone overnite with the g1 charger. Somehow after all that my battery still manages to drain immediately after removing from the charger. Should I order a new battery or is there any other tips or tricks that can help me solve this problem.
[G1 Accessories] chefgon:
If your battery doesn't hold a charge then it is obviously defective. Even with every single setting turned on and extremely heavy use you should still get at least 3 or 4 hours out of it.
[G1 Accessories] gmg3002:
I sure your right about it being defective but what would you consider "heavy usage"? Also is there a way to close programs
[G1 Accessories] Littlefield:
Yeah, I was wondering this too but was too embarrassed to ask. I'm concerned I have every program running in the background...
[G1 Accessories] gospeed.racer:
I was worried at first too, but you need to remember this isnt windoze! Most of the stupid problems we had with programs running and bogging us down are not really a problem anymore. I have yet to see my G1 slow down
[G1 Accessories] Littlefield:
Yeah, bogging down is no longer an issue, however I am one of the people with semi-lackluster battery life.
[G1 Accessories] gospeed.racer:
Oops...yeah in that case i can see your point
[G1 Accessories] neoobs:
You only have to close the program if it is actually running something in the background. Like iSafe has a background mode. I believe all background applications will give you a warning on the screen if not in the notification area. Most of them have an exit button so you can exit too.
[G1 Accessories] Mikey:
iSafe gives you the option to close off programs?? Cause the 9 out of 10 programs i have installed or use, do not give that feature.

It is your battery, call up your provider and tell them you need a new battery, they have 90 days warranty, i think. i know they do but i'm not sure about how long.
[G1 Accessories] neoobs:
when in iSafe hit the menu button and hit exit... BAM the program is not running in background mode and isn't using the GPS and 3G to find out if the area is safe. I have to play around some more because other programs are similar. I think Joyity is similar too. Anything that would run in the background for me had a way to exit and turn off the program. I am not saying it isn't loaded but it can't use the GPS, 3G or anything else on the phone.
[G1 Accessories] jcostanza4:
I have had the G1 for 4 days, since the first day I have my screen set to 100% brightness, location is turned on, and backlight is set to 1 min. here are some different types of usage to compare how the battery is effected. On day two I turned off automatic syncronization, reading this eats battery.

Day one:

from an overnight charge out of the box and off the charger at 7am it was depleated by 11am. I depleted the battery 2 times after until 10pm, mainly because of the amount I was playing with it. I would get around 4 hours before it would warn or shut off. Lots of web browsing, application downloads (about 25 apps) and using applications that connected to the web like barcode scanning, map apps, Tunewiki, and youtube.

Day two:

Off the charger at 8am depleted by 2pm. about 2.5 hours browsing the internet, 2 hours of calls and about an hour of fiddling with the device, some barcode scanning which uses internet and checking mail. Charged it for about 2 hours and continued to use it the rest of the day, but didn't keep track of usage and battery level, but it stayed alive until 1 or 2 am.

Day three:

off the charger at 7:30, made 3 hours of calls, many text, email checking, no browsing or web apps and had 60% charge at 4pm. no phone use after that (was at a party) and plugged it in at 12am and said charging 46%.

Day 4 (today)

off the charger at 7:30 and made a 20min phone call, then started playing music since 8:30am non stop. its 10:00am now and battery is at 85%.

What I am getting at is the web use is the power drain.

Calls, texting, MP3 playback and background running programs that don't use web features don't really impact the battery that much. I probably could go 2-3 days without charging if I only made calls, and texted with the occasionaly email check (2-3 times a day). Once the newness of the device wears off I bet all our battery issues will start to die down.
​

I don't know how long you can browse the internet on the iphone and how many mA the battery has, but I would be interested to know for comparison.

Jcostanza4
[G1 Accessories] twistkill:
damn after reading all the inputs i am so effing confused!!

so whats did the geeks decide? 1st charge up and then discharge on the new phone..or 1st discharge and then charge all the way up?

i thought the battery will be almost discharged when its shipped..aint it?
[G1 Accessories] syrusfrost:
To check which programs are running in the background use pTerminal.

Run "ps" for a list of processes

Run "kill <pid>" to terminate a process

found out why battery drains so fast.

My uncle works at t-mobile as a Tech3... theres been 3g outages in nyc from all G! users on the go with internet searches and myspace fiends lol. anywho he told me a group of HTC reps and engineers went to t-mobile in NYC to figure out what the problem was. He askd them why the battery dies so fast on the G1 and they say its because the gmail sign on in the beginning is the problem. Since you sign on using data, the phone is using data all day long causing the battery to drain quickly... hope this helps on why the battery dies so quick

P.S.--- dont kill the messenger plz dont bombard this thread with negativity lol

Body Glove Texture Snap-on Shell - Available 11/27

There was a G1 Accessories card bundled with the G1 that had the Body Glove Texture Snap-on shell listed as available 11/27. This is the only evidence I found that this product will exist. I figured Body Glove would have it on their website if T-Mobile was advertising it. I don't see any other accessory stores showing this product as coming soon either.

Has anyone had experience with these snap-on shells for other devices, and if so what are your thoughts about it?

hey guys my question is would a 8 gig class 4 cut it for apps2sd or am i better off waiting for a class 6 sd card?
[G1 Accessories] caleoss:
I checked tday and all they had was PNY Class 4, they acted like they didnt know what class 6 was...
[G1 Accessories] Senorkabob:
Target and CompUSA has them.

8 gb.
[G1 Accessories] texanman:
Get the class 6 card.... Class 4 only reads/writes at 4mb/s.... class 6 goes at 6mb/s your going to see a huge disimprovement with a class 4
[G1 Accessories] Senorkabob:
If your sole purpose is for Apps to SD then do not get anything below a class 6.

I mean you CAN... but if youre going to buy one, then spend the extra few bucks.

CompUSA has a 4gb class 6 for 17.99 I believe.

[G1 Accessories] daemontux:
So I just grabbed a 4g card from walmart because the chip itself had the class 6 stamp on it. The packaging shows class 4, but id tend to trust the stamp on the chip. I tried looking up the part number thats printed on the chip but cant find anything to confirm either speed class. Part number is mmagr04gudca. Anyone know of a throughput test I can run - preferably from the phone - that would tell whether I am getting class 4 speeds or class 6?
[G1 Accessories] androidmonkey:
What brand is the card? Odd that the package states something else.
[G1 Accessories] daemontux:
Ya I thought it was strange as well. For 15 couldn't pass up the chance it was class 6. The packaging was pny but the part number search pulled up a samsung page that said no spec sheet avail same for similar model numbers on the same site. I have it in and partitioned and it does seem a bit faster but I haven't installed that much on it yet.
[G1 Accessories] androidmonkey:
Does the package look like this?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178234

I dont see a Class stamp on that card.
[G1 Accessories] daemontux:
No, the package was black cardboard but did not quite match any of the other PNYs i saw at newegg. The SKU on the packaging is P-SDU4GB4-EF/BG.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10247092 is as close to that sku I can find (the sku on their site ends in -fs instead of -ef) but the chip does not look like that. There is no brand on the chip and the model number is on the reverse side. Also the whole reason I got it - the class 6 stamp instead of class 4.
