[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Honestly? This is most certainly *possible*, just silly. In my opinion, it makes a LOT more sense to work on fixing everything broken in 2.1 than to port 2.1 stuff back to what is effectively an obsolete version of android.

We're not *that* far off from a fully working version of 2.1 on Dream. In fact, the only thing I'm aware of are the GPU drivers. Maybe we just want to revert some of 2.1 to 1.6 to get those components working.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Has anyone tried to reverse engineer the video drivers from 1.6 and port it to 2.1?
[G1 Android Development] phuKKah:
Well we are SUPPOSED to get an official 2.x ROM for the G1, so I don't think anyone's going to jump on that idea :/
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Might I ask where did you get that kind of information, phuKKah?
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
T-Mobile forum..
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
Here comes the rumor mill again...
[G1 Android Development] dcowboys2184:
someone needs to check into that !!!!
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
They will be here soon plus Ncommander said he ran into trouble using the video drivers from donut in eclair.
[G1 Android Development] dcowboys2184:
i jus read that too lol!!! i can try to help i'll look into it and see if there's another way it's something very simple but yet we have to figure out what it is !!!
[G1 Android Development] georgegreco86:
honestly Poop-rag?

Dude, maybe if you had some stature, or a brain even to read the post, i mean you clicked it right? you read the title? I mean, the beginning strictly said think tank, and you, yes Burag, clicked on it to read, meaning you had some sort of interest or hope it had been done, right so why would you say it wasnt possible?

OOhh let me guess .. your one of those D-Bags who gets off on saying "first" in forums huh? :D Get real clown! If you have input we'd love to hear it. Other than the de-douchery coming out of your mooth, naaah.

now... thhat is burned brother... :cool:
[G1 Android Development] georgegreco86:
i like this guys default pic .. (fiktion) .. hahahha

and no man, posts dont equal brain power, or the shumucks that say "first" would be Einsteins, and we alllllll see how they end up ..
[G1 Android Development] Burag:
I've thought that saying "Not possible" will simply explain that it's not so easy to do. Porting it's not "moving files from rom one to rom two". You think why it's not already ported?

It's just not possible due to code changes "under the hood".

It's like putting 1.6 market in 1.5 rom. It won't work.

So, effort that you must put in porting and making it working is not worth effect.

Need more explanation dude?
[G1 Android Development] Burag:
As lbcoder said, better think about fixing 2.1 instead of wasting time for 1.6.
[Nexus One Accessories] Volker1:
I just saw this, maybe its of interest to the chubby chasers :p

Fatten up your Nexus One
[Nexus One Accessories] andjohn:
Awesome. :) I might get one, use this in the empty space created by the new battery panel and use the older battery. Cheap 32GB SD card :) (BTW: SD cards are ALWAYS cheaper then MicroSD cards and higher speeds :) )
[Nexus One Accessories] seanhassars:
that looks so much better than those ugly backpacks they had for the g1. I may actually purchase one of these.
[Nexus One Accessories] ztm.000:
when and where can we get these?
[Nexus One Accessories] seanhassars:
Link was in the first post?
[Nexus One Accessories] SilentMobius:
Mmmm, imagine that with a built in micro->sd adapter and sim switcher, that would be a _useful_ bit of kit
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Really doesn't look that bad for all that extra bat power...
[Nexus One Accessories] thegoshem:
if only it still fit in the desktop dock...
[Nexus One Accessories] aodpoe:
Great find! just finished placing my order. Will compare it with my G1 phone size when my product arrives.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I just ordered one as well.

I'll post my findings and pics once I receive it.

Now all I have to do is find a case for it.
[Nexus One Accessories] anthro:
Too bad I already got the Innocase :(

With that backpack, It's not only that the case won't fit. I won't need a case at all. It will protect the back with the new back cover. The unprotected parts of my phone with that new cover would just be mostly metal and the screen.
[Nexus One Accessories] nelson8403:
Does this still allow you to use the desktop dock? or will I have to take out the extended battery.. put in the old battery and then dock it up?
[Nexus One Accessories] JDMJOSH:
Post lots of pictures for the rest of us that are still on the fence please!
[Nexus One Accessories] maktucali:
yo

can u please give me a link where i can buy that sd corverter.. thanks in advance

:cool:
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
It works with their dock.

I'm not sure about the factory dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrandonG777:
It won't work with the factory dock. ANY kind of case won't allow you to fit into the factory dock. There is zero room for additional padding.

I ended up putting my dock behind my dash in my car and just using it as a bluetooth receiver until A2DP works with the BlueStar module (Bluetooth Onstar replacement)
[Nexus One Accessories] esincho:
confirmed shipping 2 day. Double the battery power, can't wait. I aint had a phone last me the whole day wit out charging or changing the battery since my first gen razr
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I think mine comes in tomorrow. I'll post pics once I get it.

It all depends if signature is required.
[Nexus One Accessories] Moximos:
Mine arrived yesterday, only had a chance to do a charge last night, will take a closer look tonight.

First impressions are really about the replacement back cover:

It would reasonably easily unlatch and fall off from a bump or a short fall, which means the battery could, in turn, also fall out.

Unlike the original cover, there's no clear window over the camera or flash LED, which means dust/liquid splashes etc get in the holes a lot easier.

I'll have a closer look tonight, the microsd => sd reverse adapter might be a winner for the space in the back cover.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
There's a small gap at the bottom

The covers side by side:

It's charging right now, and so I don't have performance data.

I do see how the cover may come off if dropped, but the fit and finish are not TOO bad.

I like the back finish.

It's textured and very grippy.
[Nexus One Accessories] Moximos:
My first charge only lasted around the same usage as my stock battery - there's a warning that you need to charge it ~5 times before it reaches capacity so fingers crossed.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I agree that not having some sort of plastic over the camera lens is bad.

I didn't understand what you meant till now.

it's actually really dumb
[Nexus One Accessories] mushroom1:
Couldn't agree more.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrooklynAvi:
I fattened up my G1 almost instantly because it didn't have the sleek look that the N1 has. I worry that the beauty of the device will be taken away using this battery. However, I am the type of person that goes for function over form 100% of the time. This type of dilemma is a first for me. I'm very torn since I love the look of the N1. I used this battery for my G1 and LOVED every second I had it. It was the single best accessory I've ever had for a phone. My G1 lasted over 20 hours with ultra-heavy use. I'm a seriously heavy user using two full charges a day (my phone never leaves my hand from the minute I wake up until I fall asleep reading on it). I'm pretty sure I will get an extended battery but I may want a cheap replacement. I really wish the back for this was nicer though. I'll wait a bit more (if I don't end up buying it now :D).

By any chance, does anyone who has this battery happen to still have a G1 to compare the two side by side so I can gauge the thickness?
[Nexus One Accessories] JustinLoe:
if you're feeling a little crafty... it shouldn't be too hard at all to glue or somehow adhese (what the ****?) a lens over the two dummy holes.

though mine hasn't arrived yet, so my craftiness is only a myth. let's conjure up something eh boys? ya!
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
I want it but I just put my BSE on and it looks sooooo good and I would have to make up something for this maybe hack away at the ulgy as much as I could and revamp it. I need functionality but love this bueuty of a phone!

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] Goonzy:
will this adapter support class six ? doesnt say > anyone know?:confused:

update: nevermind its on the link it does.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
Initial impressions:

I haven't had a chance to get the full 5 recharge cycles, but whereas before I was floating along at 20% by the end of the day, I'm now at 50%, so it seems to be working.

I really really like the back. The added heft comes as a blessing in disguise.

It's now fat enough such that I no longer rub my palm onto the screen while tryig to cup the device. Before, with just the bare naked device and NO case, I would always double touch the screen by accident. Now that's just not possible. The form factor is actually very very nice. From a distance it looks like a normal form factor.

But I don't like the edges and how it fits at the bottom, and the fact that the camera holes have no cover is dumb, as I said in an earlier post. I also don't like how I don't have case for it.

But all in all, I'm not unhappy with it. I'm not sure if I'll roll like this every day, however.

I'll try to post more usage times as the days roll on. But as an extended battery solution, I think it's a lot more elegant than the bulging backs that other battery manufacturers try to tack on. The device is still easy to hold and the ergonomics and function I think are A+.

The craftsmanship, which includes stuff like the space at the bottom, and the way my power button is now a TEEENY bit shrouded, is a B-.
[Nexus One Accessories] d.cortez:
i (and others i'm sure) would be grateful if one the extended battery owners could post some pictures of the phone with battery attached. thanks :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Moximos:
Good point about the ergonomics, I think I was getting used to it (plus I'm usually using the Innocase which avoids the problem).

I'm only on my second charge (it's my backup battery rather than my primary) so can't tell whether it's lasting longer yet.

I'm inclined to prefer a battery built into the equivalent of the Innocase then I wouldn't have to take it off to swap batteries and case protection built in.
[Nexus One Accessories] HighTech216:
That's the deal breaker for me. However, this looks great compared to previous retrofits.

I honestly can't complain about the battery life on my nexus one. Overall I've been really impressed, I figured the new snapdragon would kill the little battery. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
[Nexus One Accessories] a1t:
Great find. Thanks for posting the URL. Has anyone tried the sd to micro sd option?
[Nexus One Accessories] Bill Idol:
2800mAh power for n1

my n1 has the big battery for it but it's not as big as the g1 extended battery. It's pretty nice and the back part is flushed with the speaker so you don't lose any volume into the hollow case. When I had my g1 fatty I was pretty pleased with it because I never had to charge all the time, cuz we all know that the g1 stock battery suuuuuucks!!!!!

N1's stock battery has more juice at 1400mAh, more than g1's 1100mAh. So why settle for 1400 when you can double the power to 2800mAh's of strength, this is more than the g1's extended battery of 2600mAh. Seidioonline.com has both these batteris plus some nice cases and holsters if your just looking for something to protect that pretty penny of a cell phone.

I hope this helps and let me tell you that I never regreted getting an extended battery for g1(retired) and now my n1. Peace out.
[Nexus One Accessories] nmeofdst8:
Got the battery 2 days ago (seido is fast as hell, got it to Afghanistan via military service in 7 days I was shocked).

I needed a lot of extra juice because i'm away from a power source for extended periods. Doing quite a bit of wifi, bright screen on looking and messing with stuff, several calls, 20 texts, and playing music for about 5 hours total into non-powered (phone powered basically) round desktop speakers I am at 40% after 36.5 hours. I'm pretty damn impressed. That is after charging 1 time for about 10 hours out of the box. Will let you know after 5 charges.

I personally don't mind the little bit of extra size. I bought a 10 buck generic arm holder from one of the afghan stores on the post here and it used to fit nice..snug as crap now, but no biggie. Worked out with it yesterday, ran and lifted and didn't feel any heavier than normal...weight difference is minimal.

I'd say "works as intended" if you need it. Would recommend it.
[Nexus One Accessories] eabinsan:
got mine today.

tough choice - i think the original form factor is too thin to hold the phone with any kind of comfort. the added 6mm otoh are just a bit too much. i may eventually get used to it, but i think 2 mm less would be perfect for me.

so how about a 2400 mAh battery then? :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Lahdekorpi:
Ugh, looks shockingly hideous.
[Nexus One Accessories] jhax01:
Just received mine and have rode it hard. 24 hrs on the first charge with 22% left. Brightness set to max, wi-fi, GPS, and sync on. I made around 2.5 hrs of calls, about 4 hrs of web surfing via wi-fi and 3G, ~50 texts, syncing 3 push email accts and 2 scheduled with updates every 15 minutes, live wallpaper, and twitter and facebook clients running in the background. It had about an 8-hour cell/wi-fi reprieve on my flight to France, but I used it for about 6 hrs watching video and listening to music in airplane mode.

So far, I'd have to say it's worth it if you don't care about the looks. Functionally, it occupies about the same volume as my work Blackberry. The bb is slightly thinner, but significantly wider. I would buy a factory phone from HTC this size if it had a battery this big. Everything keeps getting Zoolander-ish, but to me, a little heft and size makes it more comfortable to use. I came from the iPhone 3gs with the incase extended battery -- the nexus/seidio combo is much smaller. So I guess if I could tolerate the former, the latter is no big deal.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I agree that the width adds to the ergonomics.

I definitely don't like some of the details: my power button is becoming a bit more shrouded and the fitment at the bottom is awkward.

But functionally I think it works well.

As for cutting off a few MM, the other poster may be right. I think it could be a "little" thinner, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

I just wish they'd have designed a case around this, sort of like Mophie' solution for the Iphone.
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
Looks like people are resonably happy with the 2800mAh battery so I just went ahead and ordered one from seidio. And since I was getting something shipped around half the world I went ahead and bought the 1600mAh one as well :D

Pretty sure I'll use the 1600mAh battery for day to day use and the 2800mAh one for long flights, hikes and generally when I'm away from a charger for a long time. As people have stated it looks pretty good for a retrofit as well.

At the very least it doesn't hurt having a spare battery (or two).
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
I wish I had that ability being a college student and all lol. I just said screw it and bought mine after testing alpha/beta/stable roms and kernels I need a longer lasting battery and the fact I like to let my friends know where I'm always at on latitude. I love my Nexus and how beautiful it is but I need battery power man!
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
Well I'm actually at my last semester at Uni, so I'm just gonna have to reduce my beer quota ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] dchadwick:
I didn't ever think it would be worth while to get a extended battery for the odd shape and bulk but now I am thinking twice! :D
[Nexus One Accessories] dwang:
I went a different route and purchased a second battery + charger for $15 off of ebay.

http://tinyurl.com/yfs6my4

The battery is thin enough so that it fits really well in my wallet without adding too much bulk.

In most cases the stock battery lasts long enough, but sometimes I'll need extra power, and the 2nd battery in my wallet gives me the extra power I need.
[Nexus One Accessories] Four Fourty Four:
Got my battery in today! so far i'm about 2 hours into the first charge. Will post results of battery life as soon as i really test it.... heavily... lol
[Nexus One Accessories] mushroom1:
Good find. I've been looking for external battery charger for N1 for a while.

Are you using them now? Please share your experience w.r.t. quality of the charger and the battery. (Wonder how could they sell both for just $15)
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
So anyone have updates yet? Mine was supposted be at the house at 4:30 eastern today but the fedex guy was late... Now I'm stuck at work wanting to go home and charge this puppy!

I'll post the shots everyone has been looking for hopefully tonight or tomorrow night

:beer:

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] MaverickPS:
man, the only reason i am holding out is that there is no plastic covering the camera lense. i have to use my camera a lot for work (taking pictures of customer installations) and with keeping it in my pocket all the time i bet dust would degrade the picture quite a bit over time.
[Nexus One Accessories] plaztikcandy:
How is the battery and charger you bought holding up? I will have my N1 on Monday and am looking for a second battery since I already ordered a Case-mate. Thanks in advance for your input.
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
Ok well I promised pictures tonight but I just realized the batteries in my camera are dead and I'm to lazy to drive 20 minutes to walmart and get batteries for my phone sooo... tomorrow when I'm out I'll get some and let you see how this back is.

so far the battery is soooo much better than the stock battery even after just the initial charge. wifi, bluetooth, gps, refresh, screen 100%, everything refreshing at 30 min intervals (most frequent option available) pandora and slacker radio on, stock music on, MixZing music player on, Not to mention a 3 hour phone call, texting all day and surfing the interweb. my battery lasted from 9-5.:eek::eek::eek:

so is it worth it hell yes, I did that with the stock battery the first day and killed it in 3 hours.

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] MaverickPS:
So the "no camera lense cover" does not seem to bother anyone?
[Nexus One Accessories] Moximos:
Huh? Browse back up. I and others have expressed our botherment.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I've made that point in several posts.
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
how well does the battery cover stay on? and will this fit in a dock with the spare battery charging slot?
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
well if I can ever remember to grab batteries for my camera.... I could show you that it stays on very well the fit is almost perfect except when it comes to the overlapping the bottom half of the phone it has a half a millimeter gap. As for the dock I do not use one and probably never will.

banging head for taking so long :(

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] bullyfrog:
Thats what the calendar in our N1 is for. Set an appointment to remind you to pick up some batteries after work. We want pictures!!! lol :)
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
Yay I remembered batteries, time to setup my phone when I get home to take some nice pictures for you on the edge folks wanting to buy :D

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
I posted a few pics on page 3
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
I left them original size 1 meg file size so you can really get up close and personal, if they are to big I will resize them upon request.

And one just because I love my Nexus

I left them original size 1 meg file size so you can really get up close and personal, if they are to big I will resize them upon request.

-Charlie
[Nexus One Accessories] mushroom1:
Thanks for the pics.

hmm.. I really don't mind the larger size. But the deal breaker for me was that there are no covers on flash/lens, and there's a gap between cover and N1. Dust, lint, moisture would get into the phone easily.
[Nexus One Accessories] Yaotl:
Wow, that gap is pretty bad. I'll wait for a revision or somebody else to make one. Thanks for the pics.
[Nexus One Accessories] rvinny:
I like the idea of a longer battery but that cover seems to take away from the smooth design of the phone. I'll pass and add a 2nd charger at work.
[Nexus One Accessories] andjohn:
Hey Guys,

I ordered that SD adapter from my other post on the first page. I don't have the extended battery cover yet, but I'll let you know how the SD adapter works.
[Nexus One Accessories] Lancealot:
I'd be interested in seeing some benchmarks and comparisons if you wouldn't mind. Let us know how well it works and what cards you use to test as this could make Apps2SD/Debian finally run at a reasonable speed on the N1. Thank you and Cheers!
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
Yeah that is awful. And Seidio is charging their usual "2x reasonable" prices for it too. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
The gap actually looks worse on pictures than it actually is. I say good luck fitting anything inside the gap.

I would gladly have the slighest of gaps for the ability to have 2x the battery time when I need it.

And I couldn't see that it contributed to dust inside the phone at all when I tested it either.
[Nexus One Accessories] esincho:
I have been using this battery for 2 weeks now, and I'm yet 2 see the life of it come close 2 being twice as much as the stock battery
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
2800mAh vs 1400mAh, twice the capacity. You're probably just using your phone more than earlier.
[Nexus One Accessories] jerrycycle:
I have been using this battery since it's release, and I'm yet 2 see it come close 2 being twice as much as the stock battery. I still have to charge once a day. I like the added size, making it easy to handle in one hand operation.
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
Really? I have to charge every day with the stock battery and with the 2800mAh one I've gone 3 days without charging it. Maybe your battery is faulty?
[Nexus One Accessories] markimar:
Yeah that gaps a little to big for me! Surprised they thought they could get away with such a big fault. And damn that makes the phone a porker! LOL Bacon fat for cyan!

I don't mind the added size though I have big hands anyways
[Nexus One Accessories] esincho:
I've always been a power user. Im not using it more. I still can't make a full day without charging it.
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
I'm not saying it's impossible to drain the battery in a day, just that the battery should have twice the capacity of the stock one(mAh is mAh after all).

It's not very hard to drain the stock one in 2-3 hours if you just use gps/wifi/full brightness/play a movie and surf a lot on the net. If you add many long voice calls to that list you would need a portable power station to keep a phone going for a significant amount of time.

If you really use your phone and it's capabilities all the time I'm pretty sure you won't find a single device around that can last a full day (unless it has severly limited capabilities ofc).
[Nexus One Accessories] dwang:
Sorry for the late response. The first battery that I received was defective so I had to wait for a replacement. The replacement battery works fine. The battery life doesn't seem to be as long as the original, but since its a backup I fine with it. For the price, it can't be beat.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
is it just me or does this thing make your phone look ugly as hell?
[Nexus One Accessories] dahui9:
well the seidio battery is now my backup... my phone was feeling to bulky and quite frankly its not to much better than my stock battery even after breaking it it full-dead charges...

I will probrably be going with the $20 ebay battery idea and just keep one in my wallet.
[Nexus One Accessories] esincho:
ok so Seidio pulled the 2800 and is pushing the 3200 now..
