1. Voltage regulates charging so size of the battery does not matter. It WILL take longer to charge, but battery % is measured through voltage. As a cell discharges, voltage drops in a predictable way and as it charges voltage increases. A 1300(stock) stops charging at 4.2V so does a 3500 battery, both full.

2. No clue. I just know battery chemistry :-P
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Div033:
Been using my new 2150 battery for almost a week now...

I'm kinda unsure if it's really worth it or not.

Surfing on Wifi gives me a whopping 9-10 hours of awake browsing/chatting/texting usage as opposed to the 5-6 I had on stock. That's amazing.

Standby time is also amazing, I slept for 8 hours after charging (bump charged) to full... Woke up and it was at 98%! These are dumbphone standards here! Course this is with the "mobile data always on" feature unchecked and wifi on.

However, when using 3G or talking the battery increase seems very minuscule. Talk time increased from ~4.5 hours to ~5.1 hours (isn't this what stock is rated at?) and I haven't done a real 3G test but it seems to be around 6 hours of awake 3G time. I'll update once I do a proper test. I'm curious why talk/3G drains my battery so much...

As far as the bulk goes, that's where I'm torn. I definitely like the Wifi-usage battery increase, but I thought if I got this battery I could talk and use 3G more often with the "mobile data always on" feature enabled. That doesn't seem to be the case and while I don't mind the bulk TOO much, I do prefer the slimmer profile of stock.

I'm running SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 with KingKernal BFS #2. I mostly run on 245-998Mhz Interactive while awake and 245-245Mhz Powersave while the screen is off.

[Vibrant General] S4X:
As you know compared to EVO and many other phones the Vibrant/Samsung Galaxy S only requires one more step before installation of tethering application on your PC: it needs Samsung own USB driver.

So

- you get from Market and install application on your cell;

- download Samsung driver from the web and install on PC;

- download and install application on PC.

That's it!

Here are some details for those who never tried tether and might need step-by-step instructions:

Step 1. Get and install PdaNet or EasyTether from Market on your cell phone and in Settings/Applications/Development check ON "USB debugging"

Step 2. Download and install USB driver for Samsung cellphones on your PC. Same driver works for both PdaNet or EasyTether applications. I took it from (i am new user at XDA and am not allowed to post the links) www (dot) mobile-stream (dot) com/easytether/android (dot) html

Step 3. Google, download and install PdaNet or EasyTether ( i usePdaNet, it has Bluetooth data connection option also) on your PC. During installation the application will find that the driver is already installed and will ask you what to do, you answer NO to reinstall

When you will need Internet connection:

- Connect Vibrant and PC using USB cable

- Launch PdaNet on Vibrant, push button "Connect"

- if you set up not automatically connect then click on PdaNet icon "Connect" on your PC (in the task tray in right bottom corner)

Done !

Novices also may not know that these applications are free for 1 month for both secure and regular unsecure http/https connections. Then if you need https you have to pay one time fee ($10 or $18) which will work on one phone and several PC. Just a regular http stays free.

My goodness. I installed SAMSUNG Kies(kies_win.exe)	2.0.3.11082_152_4	30-Sep-2011	82.5MB

just to get the Windows 7 phone drivers.

My firewall/HIPS needed to authorize about 30 things the install process wanted to do. I have NEVER had an install need so many grants --never. Also, I have a fairly fast computer, and it was the longest install, time-wise, I have ever seen on this machine. This program better make my morning coffee after all that.

Can KIES be uninstalled and leave the drivers in place?
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Don't know. Doesn't hurt to keep it around, just in case you need to reinstall drivers again. Did you get kies or mini kies?
[Captivate General] movrshakr:
Full. The other thread I was reading said you needed the full version to ensure the Windows 7 drivers would work. All I want is the drivers.

Does KIES run as an all-time service and speak to Samsung every time you plug in your phone (Captivate)? If so, I have to find and disable the service, or remove it--but I want to keep the drivers is the problem. Does uninstalling it leave the drivers there?
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I also have Win7 x64 running in my computer. I do NOT have Kies installed on my computer and I have only the drivers installed. There is no reason to even have Kies unless you're just a typical end user upgrading to a stock firmware.

On my old computer with Kies, I never remember seeing Kies call home to anything other then the software update server to check for updated Kies versions. All the firewall and traffic logs were clean. (Except for the update check)

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
The only reason to haves full kies is the drivers. Officially, the I897 isn't supported by KIES. If you try to connect your phone, it plainly says"device not supported".
[Captivate General] movrshakr:
let me repeat...in a different thread, many people were reporting that they were not able to "see" the phone sd as a folder when on Windows 7 64bit machines.

Someone else there reported that installing latest full 64 KIES allowed it to work. THAT is why I went to full KIES.

I now have further info... the phone USB connection did work with KIES installed, but after seeing the monster that full KIES was, I uninstalled it. USB connection still worked. End of my issue--which might not have been an issue anyway, as I did not try installing driver-package-only since others were reporting problems with Windows 7 64 doing that. Whew.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Interesting, as I got drilled to the KIES dl package at the Samsung site by selecting my I897 phone model in the page's field's popdowns. It is a very recent date, 30-Sep-2011, so maybe this version does work.

I cannot verify that either way as I did not run it with the phone--only installed it, verified drivers allowed USB connection, then uninstalled (due to size/intrusiveness as described before).
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
I wasn't aware that full kies could even be downloaded on the Samsung/USA site. When i've dl'd, I had to change my location to UK. Are you sure it's not mini kies?
[Captivate General] movrshakr:
I don't think 82 MB is mini !!

Now I don't know how I wound up on the other site, but, for me, it is a moot point as I have uninstalled it all--except the drivers apparently remained since the phone connects OK.

[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
I'm sorry if this has been covered but I have looked in several places and have not yet found an answer.

Bought the Vibrant on day 1- LOVE IT

I upgraded from my G1 running CM5.0.8 with Apps2SD

ALL my apps on the G1 were on the SD card

For whatever reason- LOTS of apps I have on the card never showed up as me having downloaded them when I signed into my google account and checked the market with the Vibrant.

3 QUESTIONS:

1) I want to put my 8Gig card from the G1 in the Vibrant but I want to know if there is a way to get those apps on the SD card on the Vibrant. (Actually it's just one app that for some reason is no longer in the market- it's called NightClock and it was one of the super early apps from back in the ORIGINAL days of the G1- none of the "NightClock" apps in the market is the one on my G1).

2) When I eventually put the 8gig card in the Vibrant is there some special way I need to format it? When I mount the vibrant now it shows 2 drives.

3) When I put the Vibrant's 2 Gig card in the G1 can I just reformat it as it was in stock form and still use the phone as a test device to upload my .apk files from eclipse?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
1) I think your best method to retreive your apps from your G1 is to copy them from either linux or from your g1 to the fat partition as i dont think you will be able to access the ext partition on the vibrant, i could be wrong on this, nvr done it.

2) I fdisk'd my sdcard on my pc then formated it before putting it in my Vibrant.

3) if you like you wont need to reformat the vibrant card as it is already in the correct format.
[Vibrant General] spigatelli:
You could use a computer to pull the files from the SD. or you could back up the files using titanium backup then move that sd to the new phone and use titanium backup to restore them. Or, at least, I think you can. I have not tried it myself. If you format the SD while in the vibrant, you will lose all data.
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
good call, titanium backup run from the G1 would be the easiest way to back them up
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
Thanks everyone- stupid questions here but bear with me-

@hpz937

I don't know how to do either of those things- How do I even access the apps from my pc? When I mount the SD card I do not see the apps anywhere- Ideally I would love to just drag the .apk files and install the ones I need on my phone- is that possible?

@spigatelli

Again- I don't know what that means- sorry- Do I need to partition the card somehow as there are two drives associated with it?

I see that I have to have root to backup using Titanium Backup (not a problem on the G1) but do I need root on the Vibrant to restore a Titanium Backup file? I have never used it before.

Thanks again
[Vibrant General] spigatelli:
You can format the card AFTER you pull the info from it.

I do not know if root is required to use titanium to restore, but if it does, this is the easiest phone to root ever!
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
If mainly just want that one app, then you can use something like Astro File Manager to back up your apk files. As long as it wasn't a protected app then you can save the apk file to your sdcard and then just transfer the apk over to your Vibrant and reinstall it.
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
@speoples20

You sir, are a genius!

I didn't know you could do that with Astro! Thank you

@spigatelli

I know WHEN to format the card I'm just wondering HOW to format it- do I just get everything off it I need and then pop it in the vibrant and hit format? Or do I FAT32 format it on the computer and then put it in the Vibrant and THEN hit format? Is it automatically partitioned? Are the two drives that show up when you mount the Vibrant both on the SD card?

THANK YOU
[Vibrant General] spigatelli:
There is no need to partition because there is no apps-to-sd. You can format it right in the phone, or do a FAT32 format on your computer. The reason you see 2 drives when you mount it to the computer is because there is the internal 16gb SD and the external (removable) SD. It does not see your partitions.
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
Ahhhhhh- thank you very much- THAT is exactly what I was wondering. So the Vibrant gives you the option to unmount the internal SD card- what purpose does that serve?
[Vibrant General] Lieu10ant:
dude, just use titanium backup or 'my backup pro' to back ur apps up from ur g1 (with root access) and then... put that zip file on ur PC, extract it, pick the apps that you want to put on ur vibrant, put them in a folder and then install them using astro on ur unrooted vibrant.
[Vibrant General] akapoor:
If you unmount the card from the phone, you won't be able to access it (on the phone). So, if you have it hooked up to your computer, you unmount it from your phone and mount it to your computer, your computer will recognize the drive and will allow you to search/explore it.

If you mount it back onto the phone, it will no longer be accessible by the computer. However, it will be accessible by the phone.
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
Thanks everyone problem solved using astro
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
you unmount so that you can take the sd card out while the phone is on. you do not want to take the card out while powered up without unmounting.

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Capacitive stylii (I'm thinking that's right, but I really don't care :-P) have a method of conducting electricity from the hand to the screen. Most are made of metal and have a conductive foam tip that transfers the current to the screen as your finger would.

Any *capacitive* stylus should work fine on the Slide's screen assuming you're directly holding the stylus (so no gloves in the winter).

Yeah, I read about the hot dog stylus and using anti static plastic (from a hard drive, ram, or video card, etc. (Sensitive computer parts are wrapped in) rolled up in a stick formation. I guess you could wrap a pencil in the stuff too. But heck, mini styluses are sold for $5 and up to $30 for a high end model. None work perfectly, I hear.

[HTC Aria General] tilt4life2:
While I wait for my micro sd to get here to root and use my Aria, I have been just playing around with it and checking out various apps in the market. Then I saw an antivirus app and downloaded. Since I am new to Android, I thought I would ask others whether they have had any problems (or if there are problems) that require an antivirus. Or is it just a useless app?

I noticed there are apps that can contain some important information (i.e. mobile banking and e-mails), but is an antivirus really needed?

Thanks in advance for the discussion.
[HTC Aria General] Cinderous:
I personally do not use one, and don't plan on using one unless someone supplies a greatly convincing argument. While I don't doubt that it is a possibility in the future it will be needed, I don't believe they are necessary up to this point. From what I've read there are very few viruses/malware whatnot out there written to affect Android. Everytime you install an app it tells you exactly what it needs to access on that second screen. Also, I'm not sure if you have any experience with what a lot of antivirus applications tend to do to computers speed, but I imagine it'd affect the phone in a similar fashion.

You can read a better constructed forum post about it here

If I'm incorrect on anything someone please correct me :)
[HTC Aria General] tilt4life2:
Thanks. That was a good read.

I was just unsure if I want to use the online banking app. It is very helpful and useful but I was just a bit hesitant.
[HTC Aria General] Cinderous:
No problem :) In my opinion, I think for something like that (I use Mint personally, if you don't know what it is, you should check it out for banking/credit cards, finance in general) losing the phone and having the information get into the wrong hands is a bigger concern than a virus stealing it. Again, that's my opinion. Although there are apps for the scenario I described also :P SMobile Anti-Theft is the only one I can think of off the top of my head for no particular reason, but I know there are a few others (possibly better, not using one myself just yet) out there :)
