Great find, just what i've been looking for. I've searched Mugens website but can't find the battery, suppose will have to wait a few days.

Has anybody tested the life of the battery to check whether it does actually give 2x the life of the stock battery?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] INeedYourHelp:
I WANT THIS :D

can't wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] miker71:
holy cr*!P that is ugly! however, i could be very tempted with such a battery, i previously had a mugen 3200mAh on my Nexus One and it would easily last 48 hours under my normal usage (sometime 3 days).

but yikes that does look really really thick - i wonder if all the empty space at the top of the backplate helps the audio on the phone. i can always kid myself :-)

i knew as soon as i ordered a zenus flip case somebody would release an extended battery pack. maybe i should just get into the habit of carrying spares, or an external USB powerpack ... but an extended battery is just so convenient.

will have to think hard about this one!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i can use all that empty space to store like 100 micro SD cards to take my entire DVD collection + my entire Audio albums collection LOL :D

or simply store an extra 1500mAh battery inside as a Spare!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] INeedYourHelp:
I am now a sad panda.... $99!

http://www.mugenpoweronline.com/product_info.php?products_id=790

still debating... imagine all he things I could hide... I could store my entire sdhc collection with that....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] miker71:
i love how they always do their best to hide the "thickness" - it's like we're all obsessed with size zero phones when in reality a size 16 can be fine ;-)

Edit: actually thing I most dislike is the "5 megapixel" text around the lens hole. why?! who cares! trying to pretend it's a compact camera perhaps :lol:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] poolcin:
99.00$ and you can have such ugly brick... :eek: No, thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
$99 is a bit much....

and the thickness doesn't help in the decision better

i got 2 authentic G7 1500mAh battery for only a quater of that price

it's easier to take some extra batteries in your pockets, than carrying a huge thick phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Wiseguy7:
Anybody bought this and tested it? Would love to know your views on battery performance and size.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
and weight
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] INeedYourHelp:
is there a way to mod the case to include some sort of led flash? lol, its big enough
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
yeah, this is an excellent idea!

more than enough space to fit in an AAA battery + LED light
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johnnewhouse:
this is definitely something that i would get. the thickness would not bother me, as i would only use this when out hiking, and would switch back to the normal battery/back at other times.

$99 is a bit much though. i think i would hang on for the price to come down a bit.

it would be better it the battery was shaped differently to have a larger surface area once it gets past the plastic surround where the battery sits in the phone. that would allow the same 3000+, but should shave a good few millimetres off the thickness.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
lol i wish they went with something slimmer, something around the same thickness of the bump at the back. even if it can only accomodate 2000 to 2500 mah
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:

laughed so hard that i started crying . Funniest topic of all . Anyone by chance found a external battery case like the ones for the iphone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tomolewis:
Worst higher capacity battery ever!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
what make you say that?

the battery is well build, it's just the back cover that kinda ruins the look of the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Oh god is that bad or what. And expensive LMAO.

Okay, anyone know of something in the range of 1800mah out for the phone yet? I'd love one in that range that does not need a new backplate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Aqrab:
i orderd the 1600mAh and now waiting for it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] miker71:
I quite like the idea of being able to hammer the phone all day without worrying about where the next power outlet is. It is definitely a trade-off in looks.

In terms of bulk - I just received my Zenus "lizard skin" flip case and I'd say it approximates to the bulk of the Mugen extended.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
stock 1500 mAh to 1600 mAh is a waste of time

that extra 100 mAh will last you just for an extra 60 seconds of power :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Actually the 100mah = 4%...so its like you're starting to drain it from 104% instead of 100% lol. Not 60 seconds but under heavy usage its minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
4% it's not really that much for a heavy user like me (BT streaming audio, GPS, WiFi, 3G, screen on most of the time), to me it wouldn't make much of a difference.

if i can drain a full battery in aprox 5~6 hours down to 10% (anyone know how to stop that anoying 10% cut off?) then i need to swap battery again.

my phone usually runs out of battery before my Moto HT820 heaset, which is aprox 6~8 hours of continous play time
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
I think the brick of a battery MAY be for you then lol :)

I just wish they made a more effective design and I may want one too. SO much wasted space with that cover. It could be TWICE as thin if the battery extended for the whole cover. Sigh
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
yes, i'd prefer the easy slide in Dock battery pack, similar to the one for iphone

the one that looks like a Boat, but at least that one you just plug it into your USB slot, and no need to swap cover.

if they make something like that for SGS, i'd definitely buy it

of course, for the SGS to work, the boat/battery pack will need to be upside down, as our USB port is at the top
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zaki67:
I have the mugen 3400 and I am very happy with it , it really makes the phone usable , I had an iPhone before with a mophie juice pack and the iPhone with the pack didn't last me a day , now i charge with more than 50 % remaining and do not have to bother and plan all day on when to recharge the phone so as not to have it fail me .to me that is far more important than the looks of the phone .....and the fact that all my cases are no longer usable !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
The only reason that is an external battery/case is because you can't change the original battery of the iphone so the only way to get it extended is to have a battery that charges the battery. This is by NO means ideal as the phone needs to have its original battery AND the extended battery while really it only uses the extended. It's sad, heavy, inconvinient, etc.

Replaceable batteries allow you to take the old one out and are a far better option. Now the question remains that it should have a good design (unlike the Mugen one which has a fat battery and to hide it wastes half the phone lenght in air by putting a cover...a better option would be if the battery extended the lenght ot the phone. That way, the phone would only be fatter by a FRACTION of what that Mugen makes it while still having the 3200mah or 3400mah. I'll wait for THAT to be made before buying one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Wiseguy7:
Hi zaki, i'm really intersted in buying this just wanted to know, do you think you could use this battery under heavy usage for 2 days? Any usage details you can provide would really helpful.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
you do know you will need some specially made cases to fit the 3200 battery + shell?

3000mah one with custom cover in the UK here:

http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/Sam...S/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_S_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html

Also found on ebay,seems like the same one,but from HongKong seller. 3000mah with what looks like same battery/back cover:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Extended-battery-Samsung-GT-i9000-Galaxy-S-/370426671661?pt=LH

I ordered one. Ended up AUD $27.69 delivered from the ebay seller. Might not look quite as 'good' as the 32000mah Mugen one but for about a quarter of the price Im not complaining.Looking forward to testing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] danielherrero:
I ordered it too. I ve bought some "chinese" batteries and muggen batteries for other devices (nexus one, etc) and the peformance is almost the same, paying a quarter.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] LostAlone:
Don't suppose anyone knows how much thickness that 3000mah battery adds, because thats a damn fine price for that much juice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
just go to the website and see the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTJRyVjBw-g

and it's official from samsung

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=763768
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Wrong video.Thats for the Mugen 3200mah one.

LostAlone was referring to the 3000mah one I linked too. (Still,pretty much same I guess in thickness)

With regards to the Samsung one,it comes with battery too right? Perhaps we could get 'just' that battery cover so it fits over any 3rd party thicker battery bought?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] LostAlone:
Indeed. I've sniffed around and can't find any other pics of the 3000mah battery. Guess it would add a lot, was just hoping (somehow) that it might be more sanely shaped and not as atrocious as the Mugen trash.

The samsung battery pack does indeed look like the best battery extension option atm, other than a totally separate extra battery/battery pack. I hold out hope for a reasonably elegant solution that comes with a holster clip or with let me use a third party one.

I figure that the vast majority of the time I would have my device in its holster is the time I want it to be recharging, since its gotta be trickle charging. You never know, the samsung one may come with a clippy bit attachment and I can just happily use that :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Well,still havent received it yet,I was sent a message on the 1st,9th and today saying it was posted..so dunno.(Have contacted the seller and ask WHEN it was actually posted).

In any case he's selling them again,ebay link here:

Also found another seller them selling for a few $ cheaper! Link here:

Incase anyone wants a large capacity battery for a great price.

Again I know,the the best looking with that custom back cover I guess but for that price its worth a try to see how much longer they really last compared to the stock 1500mah item.

Very recommended in extreme situations, but it turns our slim phone into a brick.

Why do you guys care how thick your mobile is anyway? Even 2cm more depth probably wont make any real difference in practical usage (width might, but not depth).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Super Galaxy S:
It's too fat and ugly. With this fat battery and backcover won't fit in the case.

Lol. I am not gonna buy this. I will be waiting for thin battery that has 3000 mAh. We live in 21th century and they are bringing fat battery. Lol, what in the world...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dagrim1:
I put my phone in my pockets, even 0.5cm makes much of a difference then (lol @ 2cm, I'd almost have to buy new pants then).

Also, it just looks fugly... Part of the reason for me buying a phone is the looks. These extended batteries make it look ugly as hell...

Nah, I just take a spare battery or 2 with me when I'm away for a few days without any means of charging. Works good enough for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Got it today.The post stamp said it was posted on the 13th so actual delivery time was quick.

Anyway,Im charging it now in the wall charger I got from one of those 'two 1500mah batteries,wall charger,USB cable' deals.

Ha ha,battery sure if fat. The back cover snaps on fine and power,volume,USB connector port are as easy to access as before.

The cover it itself though does look and feel cheap and plasticy,but thats to be expected for the cheap price.Almost looks like it was cut out from some hard packing plastic tray.Doesnt look so bad when its attached to the phone,shiny black.But on its own it appears cheap yeah.

Over all though Im glad I got it. Its not something Id use every day but it will be handy for when you havent got spare battery on you,or dont wanna change the battery. Or you cant use a charger.

As for charging,dunno how long it will take,I put it straight in the wall charger when I opened the package.Will post back when the 'blue' light comes indicating full charge.

Will also be interesting to see how long it actually lasts compared to the 1500mah ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ickyboo:
Please keep us updated as i'm VERY interested in it too
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
OK.

First charge to about 5 hours.(with wall charger).But then I dunno how much power was in when I unpacked it so I guess a more accurate time for charging may be the next time I charge it.

Looks a bit weird,almost like a diff phone.

Actually when I took off the original I notice it feels just as cheap...lol. Just more classy looking cause of the carbon fiber type pattern on it.

Anyone know if a battery with capacity in between 1600 - 2000 mah can be

physically packed into the normal sized casing of a 1500 mah battery that fits

into the SGS?

It would be great if I didn't have to buy a replacement backplate in addition to another

gel soft case that most likely doesn't exist just to expand the battery a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Mugen who make the 3200mah also have a 1600mah one. No custom back plate needed for the 1600mah one.

But do you really think the 1600mah would be much better than the 1500mah one's? I doubt spending $40-50 on the 1600mah or what ever would be worth it.

OH,ebay seller now selling the 3200mah one and 1600mah item.

You're absolutely right! Mobile phone companies are just making slim devices for no reason, it isn't like they sell or anything. I mean, who wouldn't want a 2 inch thick slab of phone in their pocket?

If people didn't care how thick their phone was mobile phone companies would be increasing the size of their batteries and making the phone bigger. However,

skanky girls like putting their phones in their bras

guys don't like having 2-3 inch bulge in their pocket no matter what it's from

bigger is not always better ;)

bigger means more weight

The stock roms don't include the wifi router app as the operators would prefer to sell you a usb dongle instead.

First of all, sorry for openeing a new thread; but surely i have searched all of chef central din't find anything much or maybe din't understand which one was my solution.

The problem is after boot of my ROM ( regardless of which boot ie 1st 2nd or 10th ) i get 2 pop up errors:

1) "The file 'programs' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."

2) "The file 'Tools' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."

I have a folder called "Tools" in the start menu, and it works fine, and everything inside also works good. But still this error.

I'm pretty sure all the Packages cooked which are meant to go in this folder do go in.

And the programs error is it anything to do with the fact that in the APP.DAT in almost all packages i have used similar naming:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Tweaks"):-File("Flip_IT.lnk","\Windows\_Flip_IT.lnk")

and also added similar REG in the REGS :

As i was not sure which one will decide the location, so some packages have only .REGs, some have only APP.DATs and some have both ( but all the locations are same that is sure !)

Please help me with this.

Thanks alot.

PS: I have enabled NoCert in EVK, and also cooked in the latest ( 2015 ? ) SDKCerts EXT. And after that no other apps give an unsigned problem.

Just a question, this isnt the full app.dat right?

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")

If yes, you miss some lines,this app.dat is just copying a link to startmenu but i guess that you need the program in Windows.
