Yoobao 2400

I bought a Yoobao from e-bay for around $20 and I love it.

The Battery cover fits perfectly and with the extra space I can hide my cash. (A necesity since my wife keeps raiding my wallet.)

I bought it off e-bay and I think it's still available.

[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
wow that's pretty crazy for the price AND the free shipping

What is the body sock?
[G1 Accessories] Abbens:
its the glove that comes with the g1. I just call it body sock
[G1 Accessories] jlacy76:
Oh, you mean the cloth bag. Duh..

I have an extended coming and not sure what I can do for a skin, gel or case. I would be ok with leaving the battery door off if I had something to hold it in.
[G1 Accessories] BrooklynAvi:
I've used ten different extended batteries for my G1 and the one in my sig is the best, hands down. It's not too big (as compared with other extended batts and the stock), it has an awesome back and it lasts forever. I've had it for more than eight months and still no issues. I bought an extra so I can keep my G1 running even after I get a new Android device (can you say Snapdragon?).

Here's the link: http://www.batteries4less.com/tmobi...nded-battery-with-extended-battery-cover.html
[G1 Accessories] chaosan:
white model

Is there any consensus on what the best extended battery for the white g1 is?:confused:
[G1 Accessories] Brutal-Force:
I have the white G1. I bought the cheap-o hong kong battery, and it works quite well, but the battery cover sucks. I ended up buying a seidio back cover which fits quite well. I bought the black one, however they sell it in bronze and white (when they are in stock).

If you don't feel like waiting 3 weeks, buy a seidio. It still fits in a stock carrying case.
[G1 Accessories] jlacy76:
I finally got mine yesterday. Took forever to ship from china but it made it here.

Added some thickness but I'm not tethered to the charger anymore.
[G1 Accessories] evilkorn:
Where were you able to buy just the battery cover? I need one for my Seidio 2300 and can't find just the cover.
[G1 Accessories] jeffrimerman:
I see a few USA sellers with 2300ma battery

I wonder if those are any good. It seems like most say the back doesn't fit well. I bot a nice red rubberized cover, but since I drain the battery so fast I am thinking of getting an extended battery. I just charged mine and talked for an hr and it seemed to drain it. I bought it used so maybe it is a cheap aftermarket battery.
[G1 Accessories] Brutal-Force:
Just call the 800 number on seidio's website. Tell them you want to buy just the cover. its like 13.95 + S&h .
[G1 Accessories] jmhecker:
The one in your sig is the one that I have. I bought it on eBay for $12.00 USD (New) in package. Works like a champ, and talk about a power house...it'll last all day long.
[G1 Accessories] jeffrimerman:
Can you post a link or list it by the seller?

I want to see if it is the one I am looking at now. I just can't decide if I want the hump or the smooth raised cover or the one that dips down where the camera lens and speaker is. The hump is similar to what I have on my extended moto q, so maybe that is fine with me.

I ordered this: http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Capacity-2300mah-Battery-Tmobile/dp/B002BK7ZYQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1261974296&sr=8-1 from amazon, it

s a 2300mah battery for about $20. I'll be receiving it sometime this week, so I'll post back with my review after I calibrate it. Wish me luck :D

EDIT: Simply Amazing.

Is it good? Please share your experience regarding this battery..
[G1 Accessories] quierotacobell:
Yeah I'm using it, it's pretty good, just like all the other 2300+ batteries.
[G1 Accessories] jaikat:
guys..

i bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._ya_os_product and i'v had it for almost a week now..

the battery is pretty solid in terms of service/charge life. i'm calibrating mine now, and the first full charge took me a day 6 hours (thats 24+6) to get the phone to turn off by itself. this included wifi browsing for over 6 hours, which in turn included downloading a 50mb rom off xda.

i confirm this battery is a monster.

its being charged for the third time as i type, off my pc via usb. no problems there.

the battery is a cameron sino, it came with a leveled back cover (no hump)..

the size is big, noticeably, but once you get your G1 back to life, i'm sure most of you won't care about that.. besides, it fit nicely in my car holder, and i got the nokia e90 leather pouch with a belt clip, and i don't need to hold it in my hand or worry about the space it would take in my pocket.

i recommend this battery for anyone who wants to extend his battery life.

just wanted to share my thoughts
[G1 Accessories] Morl99:
Car Holder?

So exactly what car holder do you have? I am looking for one right now. I found a really nice one specially manufactured for the g1. But now I decided to get an extended battery... So this won't work.

Anybody else any suggestions?

Greatly appreciate this community!
[G1 Accessories] jaikat:
just noticed your post..sorry

i got a generic holder, one that sticks to the windshield. its probably chinese crap, but it works...

very much looks like the one here http://www.binbin.net/photos/generic/uni/universal-flexible-gps-car-holder-uni.-gps-flexi-brkt-.jpg
[G1 Accessories] zim2dive:
I just got the ~$22 2300mAh battery from ACCESSORYWIZ on Amazon.

the battery cover is not as shown.... its "chunky" from the bottom up til just below the camera lens, then reverts to "normal" thickness. Sound odd, but I actually find it a nice grip feature.

So far so good on the extra juice... my battery usage is >25% Bluetooth, so until I upgrade to a 2.x ROM (which allows Timeriffic access to turn the BT radio on/off), I will use this batt to get thru ~2 full days.

I also use Timeriffic to set Airplane mode every night from 11p-7a.. I see maybe 2% battery drain over that 8 hours, which is a nice savings.
[G1 Accessories] ihpsta:
I received my Seidio 2600mah yesterday (fkn beast btw) and just got done draining out the battery. Literally completely dead.

So when i'm charging it now, do I leave it charged even though the green bar is full? It's been only charging for about an hour. Also is it cool to make calls when i'm charging it? I wanna make sure this battery LASTS haha.

Edit: It's the Seidio 2600. Got it for 50 bux and my work place ordered it. I really like the feel of it now. Has a little grip to it. Still using my htc pouch and it needs a little "breaking in" haha. The phone does feel a bit hollow. It's only noticeable when you're using the phone. Other then that, i'll see how long it'll last me from this initial charge. If more then 2 days then i'm happy with the purchase. I can finally use a hero type rom and really enjoy my phone. A friend of my mentioned "it's like modifying a 20 yr old civic." It's one powerful "civic".
[G1 Accessories] zim2dive:
battery goes green at 90% I believe.. so if you want a "full" charge, you have to keep the charge going.

I use systray monitor to see the numeric %.
[G1 Accessories] ihpsta:
Systray says 100%. I thought you needed to charge this thing for 8 hours or something to condition it.
[G1 Accessories] ihpsta:
Getting this battery is like bringing life back to the G1. I'm able to do so much more on my phone now and it's awesome.
[G1 Accessories] Klyentel:
2300

I bought the 2300 mah extended battery and door from Amazon.com, took about a week and a half to get it,

popped it in at about 50 % charged, took a day and a half to kill it! Thats including running wifi, flashing roms, talking, texting, sufing and listening to internet radio in the car,

finally died and now I have it charging

can't wait til its fully charged to see how long it last from 100%, :)

overall its a major upgrade from stock, glad I got it, bought a leather case with hip clip and it still fits it perfectly, so no bulging pockets here!

all I need now is a cradle charger to put my old battery in as a backup when this one is low

also, its too big for my car holder now, so Im looking in to finding another one of those as well, any suggestions would be appreciated:D

I recommend this one to anybody, I don't see the need to get a bigger one like 2600 or 3900, don't think Im that heavy of a user, but Im sure they are great batteries as well, but as of now Im satisfied with this.
[G1 Accessories] erlern:
Okay, I finally received my 2,850mah (You read that right!) that I bought from Ebay. The new casing has finally made my phone a giant brick... but surprisingly, it feels quite solid when typing. Anyway, it came with exactly 15% charge, now I have charged the whole thing overnight, and will see how long this baby will last :)
[G1 Accessories] joker713:
So the general consensus is that all of the 2200/2300 mah batteries are basically the same but the rear covers pretty much fit like **** (excluding the seidio which supposedly fits great)? So if i got one off of amazon and a cover from seidio id be golden?

Also you guys keep talking about calibrating the battery? Anyone want to allow me some more knowledge on this subject? How do you do this? what is the proper was? how do you know if you have done it properly?

I want to invest in a proper right battery for my g1 but want to have my wits about me before i run off and get any ol battery
[G1 Accessories] zim2dive:
??? I'm reasonably happy with my 2300mAh battery cover (from Amazon)
[G1 Accessories] paw3lk:
I have just received a battery I bought from eBay - item number 370310550834. Capacity wise I don't suppose these batteries differ a lot, besides it's all down to how you use your phone and other conditions. So the interesting bit is what is the back cover like? Well, it fits great, no complaints whatsoever. Camera works fine, music plays not worse than with original cover. I was actually surprised that it's not really that big. When I handle the phone I'm not really aware it's bigger. It's pretty cheap too. It took less than 2 weeks to arrive at UK.
[G1 Accessories] erlern:
Hey guys, I would like to ask... how long does your device gives you when you have it connected to 3G all day long? I am trying to see whether the battery I bought is really up to its specs. What about brightness? Please provide me with as much information as possible on this. Thank you! :)
[G1 Accessories] zim2dive:
I gotta say I'm surprised there is not "an App for that" :) ie. it sets brightness, radio status, etc, and then runs for xxxx and measures either

a) drain over time X (and extrapolates from there)

b) or actually runs until dying, records a log of the runtime.. .for folks willing to not use their phone for hours/days...
[G1 Accessories] Jeliz187:
Thats nothing have you guys seen the Mugen Extended Batteries? Here is a 3900 mAh! It looks ludicrously fat but hey if you are using a lot of data maybe some of you might like it! Plus, I like the back door it comes with. It has a little bluetooth symbol and a wifi symbol, it makes it look real legit. I just ordered the 2600mAh, I will keep you posted on how I like it! Oh by the way shipping is free... Here the link ~> http://bit.ly/cjZYTL
[G1 Accessories] erlern:
No one is able to provide some answers on usage hours with 3G???? Please help me get some benchmarks :) Thanks in advance!
[G1 Accessories] paw3lk:
You can't do it reliably, there is so many factors involved it makes no sense to measure it. If you get roughly twice as long time as with the original battery then you're good. If you see hardly any difference then it's obvious something is not right.
[G1 Accessories] Jeliz187:
Just got my Mugen 2600mAh and so far it rocks! The back door it comes with looks awesome and I have everything refreshing every minute and it is still going strong!
[G1 Accessories] sevuth:

is there any back cover with glossy finish rather then matt with the extended battery ??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddix_g1:
I'm new here. Ive been searching forums but i haven't been able to find what i'm looking for. My G1 got wet and I dried it out. After about a week of it not turning on, It finally came on today. I inserted my Sim card but the phone would not recognize it. I saw some corrosion on the Sim card contacts and cleaned it. But it still wont recognize it. Any possible solutions ? I really want to get into G1 modification software wise but i cant access the phone to try any of the guides. And if i cant get it to recognize the Sim card. Is there a way to remove the Sim card message on the phone ? :confused:

Thanks in advance for the advice. :)

What, how do you make this work? I do not see this option on my phuze. Where can I get it? And since it turns off data im guessing it improves batt life?

It's a program you install
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] BK111968:
I'm trying to get TCPMP to work on this device (checked the threads already) and can't seem to get TCPMP 0.721RC Recomp to work on this device.

The problems I'm having is that when I install the program is fine. When I open the application the bottom buttons (play, stop and fast forward) are missing. When I load up a video the phone crashes and I have to soft-reset to get the functionality back and remove the program.

I did a search and it mentioned something about a "special" verison of TCPMP that is supposed to work with this device but I spent about 2.5 hours reading all the threads and now I'm really confused.

I guess what I'm wondering is how do I get it to work on this device (0721RC Recomp worked on my 6800 with 6.1) or does core player work as well as TCPMP?

I'm running the stock 6.1 rom with the clean up cab.

Thanks for your help....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Both work fine for me. The graphics in TCPMP for play/pause, FF, and stop are messed up like you say, but it still works.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THE-COPS:
It works for me NP. Stock VZW 6.1 ROM. Only problem I have is setting Hot Keys. Nearly every key registers the same key code. K for Raphael supposedly is a short term fix. Have there been any better key map fixes released yet, that allows the use of the whole keyboard?

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Im Packing:
I tried to do a search, but it came up unavailable.

I'm looking for the best GPS software available. I don't care if it's free or costs a couple hundred bucks! I'd like my X1 to be able to do everything the top of the line GPS system can do such as Garmin, Tom Tom, etc.

Please tell me which one you think is the best and why. Thank you.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] 7heBoss:
Yeah, I have used both Garmin and iGO8. I used to keep both of them on my phone, just in case, but now I only use iGO and got rid of Garmin complete after a bad experience I had with it. iGO is smoother, looks nicer, and hasn't let me down. However this is all personal preference and opinion

I use Route66 Mobile 8 and am quite happy with it.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gr00vy0ne:
I'd vote for Copilot. For me, it just works and it's always solid. I only wish it attempted to say street names but it's way better than Wayfinder. It performs better too since you can load the entire map on your device. Works well in combination with Google Maps.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] firepigs:

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] f33m:
Tomtom because:

1. uses teleatlas maps

2. best interface with customization options

3. best online software support
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] ring-bearer:

- you can download it now for only $35

- very solid GPS with all sorts of sweet options
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] eDaniel:
I use Garmin, iGO and Sygic.

Garmin is simple and user-friendly (in my opinion) but doesn't have many options. A lot of detailed maps are available and this is the primary reason to keep it.

iGO is nice and capable software which has the best 2d/3d visualization so far. Unfortunately my maps doesn't have a that much details as Garmin's. There is a noticeable cons - the loading process is unpleasantly slow.

Sygic Haven't used this program for a long period so keep this in mind.

Seems that Sygic use iGO maps - the interface is rather good and easy to manipulate. Again, I have some problems with the map details.

TomTom is also a popular choice although I haven't tried it yet.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] flashpanda:
For GPS software instead of just car-navigatin software, I'd have to give NoniGPSPlot a big thumbs up. Hideously full of features and extremely capable, but with the tiny downsides that it looks the littlest bit dated, and to get full use, a donation is required (ten euros, not much). Worth it though, and stunning software that seems to be able to do...anything.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] PC Master:
for me,

Sygic is the best

and it's up to you

you can try them all at the same time not only one, and uninstall whatever you don't want
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] hayabusa07:
jep agree with that

for me it's the best xD

you can personalize it with famous voices....xD kinda funny when the route is told you by bruce willis or someone else :)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] nonno:
I use both iGo8.3 and Copilot Live 7 (waiting for Australian maps to be released before updating to CPL8). Of the two, iGO8.3 has the better UI (3D graphics, TTS). However, having said that, iGO8 is an absolute hog on the X1's resources (CPU, memory etc) that when it's in use it pretty much precludes the use of any other app. I can get Coreplayer to run concurrently but app switching between the two is woefully slow as is switching to the phone app. Also our iGo8.3 Oz version doesn't support addressbook lookup which is a pain. I've gone back to CPL7. I agree with the earlier post, its fast, rock solid and just works. I'm rather concerned however that CPL8 will be resource intensive just like iGO8 because a lot of it features are now included in the latest release. A lot of developers overlook how much more memory etc a WVGA device uses. My 2 cents for what its worth ...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] skyler88:
my country.. garmin is the best;)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Gwystyl:
If by 'GPS software' you mean navigation software, I'd go for iGo.

Tomtom works fine but is not as customisable; Navigon looks great but doesn't work on X1; Sygic looks a lot like tomtom but feels less good working.

If you're looking for geocaching there's a couple of other possibilities which I haven't tested. I only used Track'r (dutch/english), google maps and an old version of GPSMeter.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Vegito168:
Any suggestions on either of these Nav programs that work great in the US? I haven't tried any yet. I am deployed in Iraq, and didn't use a Nav program when I was home last time. Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Danole:
CoPilot Live8 does it for me.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Speedmatze:
I tried tomtom, navigon7, igo 8 and garmin.

I've ended up with igo, because it supports WVGA without workarounds (con to Navigon, which was my favourit before) and works with HyperTMC (TMC through FM software) (con to tomtom and garmin).

Admittedly: the long loading time sucks, but apart from that it does everthing I need.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] sandy2810:
GARMIN rules here in middleeast.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] MJCMK:
Navigon is working in WVGA without any workarounds! Only the old Versions didnt work in WVGA. The new one will work nativ. Also HyperGPS works with Navigon to use TMC.

I use Navigon for 2 months on my X1 now without problems. And the best thing: You can test Navigon for 30 days.
