[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
Ill upload pics of the device attached to my g1 shortly, but on to the review.

First off

Its on sale at amazon right now, and its worth every penny.

Price:	$12.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLL14E/ref=cm_cr_thx_view

Here is a youtube review by someone else:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WBAFsfy_HU

If i remember correctly, its 1700mah, larger than the stock g1 battery so its plenty juice to fully charge your g1 atleast once. As you can see in the video, its not very big, and its suprisingly lightweight, the g1 weighs significantly more than the charger. Hell, the box it came in weighed as much as the charger.

It takes longer to charge the charger than it does my g1, for obvious reasons, but it charges my g1 as fast as when my g1 is plugged into a wall.

Im definately picking up a 2nd one of these, for the price you just cant go wrong.
[G1 Accessories] stickman:
Does it really hold a full charge for the G1?

I've seen a bunch of these (I think this is the only portable charger Motorola has) here in Spain for 8$ on sale in a bargains bin at the local market, but I always thought it was intended for a much smaller battery, something like 850mah or 900...
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
i havnt gone a complete charge on it, but earlier today i went from 17% to 85% and it was still blinking green (the charger) showing that it had above 20% battery life left, so i think it might, ill fully drain my g1 saturday morning and see if it really does give it a "full" charge and let you know.
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
on a side note, the charger, while being cheap in price, does NOT feel cheap in quality

if you look at the picture, the slide in the center has a bar in the center of it going left to right, its a button, you must be slightly pressing on it in order to slide the slider up, and same to retract it, so it wont accidently slide out and damage the usb tip, it actually locks into place forward and back, and the greatest thing, if you watch the video youll see, the g1 seems to have its mini usb port flipped upside down IMO, so does this charger, so it charges facing the front, the odd thing is the bottom of the charger where you plug in a mini usb to charge the charger, is right side up (opposite of top) lol

the texture of the charger feels like a OEM battery cover for a g1, smooth but without the gloss like the front of a g1
[G1 Accessories] stickman:
Did you manage to try this on Saturday?
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
no my mustang broke down and i ended up relying on my g1 for most of the day, but i have to say, it was a life savor having it around, ill attempt to do it tonight, i have to go pretty far so ill use the gps and play music to kill the battery and when i get there ill attempt to charge it via the external charger
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
on stock battery got a full charge with power to spare, im not rocking a 2200mah, its not fully charging it, but its getting about 60% of the way there
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
1700mah is the one i got for 13 bucks on amazon, i believe its the only one motorola makes, but it defiantely gave me a full charge in about a hour or so (lost track of time)

definately worth the buy, even more worth it for $8 usd
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
Ok,

I've looked on the net for reviews and photos and nobody seems to answer my question. Is there two ports one for charging the device and one for charging say your G1?

I'm guessing it uses a special AC adapter and does it use the flip out port or is there another?
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
as seen in the picture, when you slide the center up, the mini usb comes out of the top, its viewable from the top if you look straight down at it, so it just simply slides out to be able to plug into the phone

on the bottom of the charger, is a mini usb port, just like on the g1, it doesnt have a cover, nor does it flip out, its simply there

basically:

use your g1's charger and plug it into bottom of motorola charger, and plug motorola charger into g1 and youll have both charging at the same time in a straight line, watch the video posted in my first post after reading this and it should all make sence

and no, there is no special adapter, nor a special charger, it comes with a charger, but its no different than the charger that came with your g1, and it works when being charged off of a usb 2.0 port on your computer/laptop
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
@wootroot

Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to watch the YouTube video, but the tech guys at my work do not allow us to view YouTube videos. I planned on watching it when I got home, but figured after a bit of looking around on the net asking a question couldn't hurt and it worked great.

Thanks
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
yeah no problem, the only reason i suggested to watch the video is incase my description was unclear, i couldnt think of any other way to describe the charger
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
I did figure out way around the YouTube block. Put

PWN in front of the YouTube domain in the address and you can download the video opposed to stream. ;)

My reasoning for purchasing this is simple. I 4wheel a lot and I no longer have a cigerette lighter in my Jeep because I turned my Cigerette lighter power lead into a feed to power my in cab winch controller.

Now with this I have a power source for my phone beyond the normal battery when I use the GPS.

However I did some looking around beause I'd personally need a longer cord because I couldn't do the device to device thing because I know it would get broke. Found some mini usb to mini usb extensions on the net. Ebay wanted $25 a cable, but you can find them cheaper. I'm guessing shorter the wire less line loss, but we are not talking 10+ feet here. Just 1 to 3 feet.

Anyways I just wanted to share. ;)
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
yeah and you can get a splitter cable to charge more than one device, ie bluetooth
[G1 Accessories] neoobs:
I bought one of these the day I bought my G1 at a T-Mobile store no less. They were getting rid of them and had them on sale for 15 dollars each. Sadly after 9 months I broke it. I had it plugged in and oops I knocked it off the G1 and the adapter piece bent. It still holds a charge and charges my phone but I want one with a cord so it doesn't happen again. Anyone seen the HTC portable batteries?
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
no i havnt where do i find these?
[G1 Accessories] neoobs:
They were on T-Mobiles website
[G1 Accessories] scottep1964:
Staples

I have used this for about 1 1/2 years now. FANTASTIC.

Staples seem to have them on clearance for as low as $6. I have a friend of mine in NY buying 4 of them for me. Since I commute by train, it is so nice to have a way to charge or top-off my G1.

I plug two of them together when charging.

No Cables..thats what I love.
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
Daisy Chaining chargers. Thats funny as heck. Never would of thought of that.
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
you know your a G1 addict when you have to chain together external chargers

especially if you already have a 2600mah battery! haha, id do it though
[G1 Accessories] SoMuch2S@y:
They're also on EBay for a Buy it now price of $9.99 with free shipping!
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
good find thanks
[G1 Accessories] tep065:
I ordered 2 with a "Y" splitter :) I can charge both at same time and then get a full charge on my phone (2600mAh Battery) ...now I just need a solar charger to charge the back up battery chargers..<grin>

EDIT: There are 2 versions of the P790. There is one with a blue light on the switch, and one with a green light below the switch...The motorola site has the green lighted ones listed. Amazon has both for sale..not sure if the blue light one is an older model or a knock off but I stuck with the green light ones :)
[G1 Accessories] ivanfilippov:
I got two of these from eBay, waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I'll post back my results also. Love my Dream, but hate the battery. :(

Has anyone had any experience with the slightly larger capacity Dream replacement batteries, the ones that don't require a replacement battery cover?

Something like this 1400 mAh one?

[G1 Accessories] soloxp:
I had my P790 for about 4 1/2 months now. Got it from ebay for $8 ship. It stays in my car all the time. I went 3 weeks with out a charge and it still fully charge my G1.
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
I really dig my Seido battery. Well worth the investment in my opinion.
[G1 Accessories] maxisma:
I have ordered it, review will come when it's here :-)
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
quick tip

dont leave plugged into phone and put in back pocket, even with my baggy pants it managed to bend the mini usb tip and damage the charger (luckily not my phone) lol
[G1 Accessories] maxisma:
Thanks for the tip!

I received it today, i'll drain dreams battery (not hard *lol*) and try to recharge it full today.

I will post the result here!
[G1 Accessories] Do0zman:
Just ordered off of ebay last night 8.95 shipped. Pic shows blue LED anyone know of a difference?
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
i dont remember if mine had a blue led or not

green was charged and yellow was low battery, but i dont remember a blue led
[G1 Accessories] Do0zman:
just got it tody draining the battery on my g1 right now and will be charging from about 20%
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
so i picked 2 of these on ebay for about 18 bucks 9 bucks each ill be testing these out over the weekend. Bought 2 because im going to Las Vegas 10 hour trip. So hopefully this thing works good lol but ya ill report on how it goes.
[G1 Accessories] innerspace:
bought one as well, price is dropping but so is in-stock quantity, i bet this thread made it popular again lol.
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
well i loved mine until i broke it, ill be buying another shortly, it was reliable and had good design, and it actually charged the g1, i had to go on a long trip recently and between that and a extended battery in my g1 i lasted well into the following day, you cant beat the price, g1 batteries arnt nearly that cheap (the ones that blow up might be, but thats not my style)

i suggest everyone who could have a use for it buy it, because its one of the better deals ive found thus far for what it does
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
ok so i bought 2 of these and i did full charge on both of them then i stuck it in my g1 which was at about 8% battery life it charged to 85% and then the p790 died the second charged from 5% and it lasted till 84% and died are you guys getting similar results i would thinks since it 1700mah it should have givin a full charge atleast.
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
Mine got a full charge probably because I turned the phone off while charging
[G1 Accessories] Marine6680:
Yeah not only is that 1700mah going toward charging the battery but it is also being used to run the phone. The stock wall outlet charge adapter can supply the phones charging circuitry with up to 1 amp and a usb can supply 500ma or .5 amp. I do not know how much power the phone can actually use to charge with, but if we go with the lowest allowed normally to the phone we can get a rough guess. at a 500ma power use, the 1700mah battery will last 3 hours. (500ma x 3 hours = 1500mah used) This is all dependent on how the battery in the external charger is set up. If it is only 1 lithium cell (3.7v nominal 4.2v peak) and uses circuitry to boost the voltage to 5v constant, you will not even get the 3 hours, due to the losses and nature of boosting voltage. If it has 2 cells in series, the available voltage doubles, and will need to be regulated down, and you will get closer to the full 1700mah. Actually closer to 1500, you can never use the whole amount, and if it is only one cell, not only do you have the aforementioned losses, but most likely the circuits used to boost the voltage to 5v probably have a minimum voltage they need to work, meaning less power is actually able to be used. A lithium battery cell is drained completely when it drops to 3v (at 3.5v around 25% capacity is remaining, which btw, is the voltage the G1 reads its battery as 0%, probably its min operating voltage)

Like he said, turn off the phone, or don't touch the phone and let it stay in sleep mode. Or just be glad that you got to mess around with the phone for a couple extra hours and got a mostly charged battery to boot.

Hope you all enjoyed the battery lesson. LOL
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
...yeah, what he^ said... lol
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
ok i got it now still a good device just incase you ever need the extra power.
[G1 Accessories] brummiesteven:
Just ordered one off ebay for £9.99
[G1 Accessories] control1110:
This is a good product I have one of these, the reason it is so cheap is because it is being discontinued motorola as a newer one of these out. This product retailed for $49.99 at one point. I got mine a while back for $5 on clearance.
[G1 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I never got it it to charge my G1 100%.

The most I got it to charge was from the low battery chirp to 90%.

I got same result from two diffrent one's same model.

Hope that helps.

thank you very much for explaining the steps in your post. ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] ksb1472:
I originally posted this in ROM development then realized I have a CDMA version of the phone.

Like most I dont like the stock ROM. The only one I have tried so far is KK's Loaded 2.0. I like it a lot but it lacks in some areas. Mainly I like how in landscape it gives me the normal home screen. Where it lacks is that the battery life is horrible, I can barely go 12 hours on a full charge, and it is sluggish going from portrait to landscape.

The only real functions I use on the phone is text messaging, email through outlook, the Google Maps GPS and the internet to check facebook and google stuff. What im looking for is the ROM that will give me the best battery life and usability for the above functions. I would like to have the normal home screen in landscape and a faster response from portrait to landscape. I rarely use any of the microsoft office programs, I dont play any games on the phone, nothing along those lines, I literally just do the things mentioned above.

So for the people that have tried and tested the various ROMs, which one do you think is best for me? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
Ive just started flashing by phone and as a result, ive flashed many roms lately looking for the perfect one. Here are two of them that i feel are the best ive tried.

If you want a 6.1 rom with great battery life and alot of space for extra programs, try Mighty Rom 4.16. The great part about it is that the phone starts up quickly (almost as fast as a regular non-smartphone), the switch in screen orientation is nearly instant, and it doesn't have a bunch of extra programs on it that you may not use. The only little thing i didn't like was that it didn't include picture messaging and text messages were limited to only 120 words, rather than the 160 i was used to. Luckily, these problems were easily fixed by installing Arcsoft mms and an sms fix. Only reason i switched to a different one was because i wanted wm6.5.

If you want to take the jump to 6.5, i suggest that you check out StarROM 2.0. It's by far one of the quickest roms that i have ever used, it has great battery life (i dont need to charge my phone every single day now!), and already includes programs like Google Maps, Facebook, Opera Widgets, and the usual wm programs (outlook email, office etc.). Im currently using it on my touch pro right now and the only things that i didnt like were that i had to install the calculator, Opera, and Arcsoft MMS. I am currently using it right now and havent had any trouble ever since.

These are just roms that ive tried and liked but to find the one thats best for you, you should try some more until you find the one you're most comfortable with
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
Star 2.0 is what i would suggest atm.

Silence & SsS are also good roms.
[Touch Pro CDMA] ksb1472:
Just switched to StarROM 2.0.... so far so good, will try it out for a while.... Should I change the radio on the phone? I have only had 1 other ROM besides the stock one so I am guessing that the radio on the phone is the stock one. Someone suggested that maybe my poor battery life could be a result of the wrong radio on the phone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Briz600:
There all good! just try them and see what fits you best :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
+1

agree with this completely. besides it fun trying new stuff
[Touch Pro CDMA] Darnell_Chat_TN:
If you want WM 6.5 with Rhodium Manila and some added Topaz goodies, I've tried most of the WM 6.5 + Rhodium Manila ROMs and personally find Energy ROM 3.0 to be the best.
[Touch Pro CDMA] imakshar:
so what is your input? did you find it more battery saving or not? let us know.
[Touch Pro CDMA] coolguy949:
I'm new to flashing and really want to flash to 6.5. I saw the review on PocketNow and wanted it right away.

However, I'm having trouble deciding what ROM to get. The hardest part is figuring out which WM 6.5 build is the latest. The numbers don't seem to go in order.

Has anyone the Sprint Optimized ROM in this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509544

I'm looking for a Sprint optimized as my priority because I worry I won't be able to find cabs for the apps that came with the phone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] proxcee:
I've gone through the majority of the 6.5 roms and HANDS DOWN...Energy ROM 3.0 is the best.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
I got rid of my wife's Herman, but Fallen 2.1 was pretty good, light, fast, and relatively good with battery. Other good ones are Mighty's roms, and I recently found out that NRGZ has developed a few roms for the Herman as well.

Like a few people said earlier in the thread, it is fun to try different roms to see which one fits you best. Try them for a while and then switch to the next until you feel comfy enough to stop flashing your device (or until you brick it ;))

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro CDMA] three4seven:
I'm in the same boat as the OP and currently looking for the best ROM for my Touch Pro.

My phone came preflashed with Juicy 7 when I purchased it and found it uncomfortably slow - not to mention that it has crashed several times on me and then on reboot - proceeded to reset the device and wipe out everything.

I'd like hear, aside from what's the best, why each ROM is the best. I'm looking for a fast ROM that has good battery life (and stable).

So about a month ago some d-bag got into my gmail and tried charging $500 to it. Goog caught on, stopped the transaction (yay!) , and froze my account (yay!... at first).

Now they won't unlock (boo!) it so I am stuck not being able to dload paid apps. Is it possible to set the market app so I can use a separate Google checkout account?

The idea of having to create a whole new Google login, moving all my contact, calendar, and mail over makes me think I'll prob just be visiting warez sites and sending donations to devs instead.

Any ideas?

(As a side note, does anyone know of a way to make phone contact with Google checkout?)
