I was thinking of purchasing additional batteries, seeing that the retail price of the batteries are very high I was wondering if OEM replacement on eBay (< $5) would do the job. What do you guys think?

Could a mod move this to the accessories forum...? I posted in the wrong one...

I picked up one of these:

hxxp://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120610735200&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I messeged him and he said the battery was 100% OEM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
OMG!!!!!! you got ripped off!

at that price you could have got the package that everyone is buying and you get 2 batteries !!!

it's the same battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MKVFTW:
I dont think so. In the ebay auction that everyone one is raving about it clearly states that they are NOT original batteries. This guy says they are 100% OEM originals. Which is why i wanted it. I didn't want to have a tiawanese copy in my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
but that is what i'm saying

that battery shown in the picture is EXACTLY the same batteries included in that package that says "not original" batteries

i'm using them, they last as long as the "original" battery.

as far as i'm concerned they are all original, the packaging of the battery and markings confirms it's authentic G7 from Samsung, although these was obviously manufacture before for the older devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MKVFTW:
If the ebay seller says they are not original OEM batterys they are copies. Im not saying that copies cannot be a good thing but i would much rather buy a orignal battery for a few bucks more than to take a risk with a copy. Counterfitting is HUGE out of HK and who knows what kind of QC they have on thier products. The extra $10 is worth the peice of mind to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Clearly you have never seen the Sandisk SD cards which say "sandisk" and come in the same packaging. The battery markings mean NOTHING, and are easy to forge.. Generally though if an item is MUCH cheaper than the official RRP, it's either stolen, or fake. When I worked in sales at an Apple reseller, we used to get emails all the time from companies in HK which wanted to offer us hundreds of batteries and such for VERY cheap.

The fact he is selling so many, different brand batteries in bulk (all "genuine"), and so many third party accessories for me is a red flag. But the even bigger red flag, is that he is selling genuine Apple ones, and Apple don't even provide iPod batteries to 3rd party dealers.. You certainly can't ask Apple for some genuine Apple batteries (if you don't believe me, run down to your local Applecentre, and ask for a new battery for an iPod). At least here in Australia, they don't hand them out. Sorry, but everything I've seen in my experience suggests these are fakes.. I could be wrong though (but the fact he is giving them to you in bulk, means they cost him barely anything).

Whatever happens, I'm just going to buy that nice extra battery pack casing. Just to be sure. L:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twisted_mind:
I bought a 100% original battery from a samsung dealer here in mumbai. He told me he had to source it from a service center as original accessories like these have not been launched "officially" by samsung.

Cost me 1200 indian rupees = $26

6 month warranty by Samsung. And the thing works just like a charm !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's a FAKE battery, the Genuine ones have a different markings specially where it says G7

i'm using those FAKE batteries, although they might be very good replicas of the old G7 batteries, they are not real

but performance wise, they work just as good as the OEM (originals) from Samsung

you will be better off buying this instead

If you get SGS batteries on ebay, you are best off getting 3rd party batteries, rather than branded fakes.

Because branded fakes simply are designed to fool the buyer long enough into thinking they are real. This means good enough capacity, and good enough external build quality. They aren't designed for quality

[XPERIA X10 General] Clorith:
I got my X10i a mere week ago, and I'm loving the phone, a few minor flaws of course, but nothing I can't live with (for the time being...I was looking forward to Froyo..!), except this one issue which is causing problems in work-situations;

When both WiFi and bluetooth are enabled at the same time, the phone will disconnect your bluetooth device. I'm using my MW600's which came with the phone for handsfree, and I have my phone set to sync with my mail, I leave it on WiFi while in the office so it keeps my exchange mail etc up to date, and won't have to fetch that when I'm out all the time, and if I receive a phone call I'll take it on the handsfree (because typing on a computer while holding a phone between your head and shoulder etc is uncomfortable).

Now, the phone will try to sync with my mail while I'm in a call, effectively cutting the bluetooth and leaving the phone quiet until it's done with the disconnection procedure (usually lasts for 5-10 seconds!) upon which I can hear the partner just fine on the regular phone again.

It can be left to sync over 3G just fine while I use the handsfree... I am quite distressed by this as I need a reliable phone for use at work, and this one cost me quite a bit to get and I am unable to get any other phone, as I had to get it with no provider attachments so I could continue using my work sim-card.

Anyone else had these issues, or maybe even found a sneaky way to get around it (Hell, if I had some multitasking when receiving/being in a call, I could disable the wifi when receiving a call)?
[XPERIA X10 General] Gentimp:
Which application do you use to sync?
[XPERIA X10 General] Clorith:
Using Moxie Mailer, it came with the phone, since 1.6 doesn't support exchange ... (another letdown when I first got it, haha)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Well, I am entitled "Senior Member" but still have no clue how to program apps beside some smaller mods I did (which are already superceded by the geniousses here :D )

I have downloaded "Trapster" on my HD2 to prevent further costly tickets from radar-shots.

Although GPS-Tracker 3 has included radar-warning I still dunno where I can get reliable and up to date data for this function and how to build up a data-bench that updates automatically (in GPS-Tracker by MooNah You have to do this manually)

Now the idea is simple but building an app not doable for me (not enough knowledge, not enough time to collect enough knowledge :o )

The app should work like this:

1. On home screen a switch to switch on GPS (or using GPS-Tracker as interface ?) AND loads radar-data from an updateable file on SD-card (preferrably Trapster ´cause it´s a very active community and data are very reliable also concerning "hidden mobile police traps preferred spots" :D )

2. Once movement is dedected the plug-in checks Your position toward any radar-trap and - even if HD2 is in Standby/Screen off - alerts by acoustic and graphic announcement, programmable in distances 1km/500m/200m before radar-trap and then switches to standby/lockscreen/screen off or whatsoever.

3. PlugIn should be VERY small in size and work in all modes (screen off/lockscreen/standby)

4. GPS-Tracker would be the perfect basis but methinks MooNah is not going to implement a fuction like this

Let´s see if someone hops onto this idea ................. :D:D:D:D

So I got a 3500mAh Sedio battery a week ago, and so far its been great. With heavy usage it lasts atleast 2 days. But a weird thing happened to me last night...

I set my alarm, and noticed I had 30% battery left. I figured that was more than enough to last through the night, so I didn't plug it in. But in the morning, my phone was dead!

Check out the log:

This graph is showing a 70% drain over 40 hours, which is normal. But what happened between ~2am and ~7am!?!? (Very right of the graph)

The only thing I've done differently was turn the brightness down to very minimum so I could use it in the dark without burning out my eyes. That doesn't seem a likely cause for such a sharp battery drain though. I also made sure that all tasks were closed before sleeping, as I do every night.

Anyone have any thoughts about why this occurred? I certainly hope the battery isn't going bad already!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] MrGamehelper:
In my experience of lithium-ion batteries, the voltage drop tends to be non-linear, and can be very difficult to estimate. Because you are using a higher capacity battery than the standard HTC 1300mAh, it doesn't estimate your battery life as accurately. Mainly (I would guess) because the software is profiled to base it on typical voltage curves of the 1300mAh, and not your beastly 3500mAh. Typically with lithium-ion, you'll see a steady linear drop in voltage until some cutoff point, where it then takes an exponential curve down to zero. My guess is that particular voltage is somewhere when your phone thinks it's got about 25% life left. I don't think there is anything wrong with your battery or phone, I would just assume that your phone tends to over estimate slightly.

Another thing to consider is what the temperature at the time was. Temperature tends to affect the output voltage and then the % battery life as a result. If it was warm or cold, this would also skew the values of your battery life. Usually within typical room temperatures you would see no changes, but I don't know, maybe you live in an igloo! :D

Hope that helps. On that note, how do you like the 3500mAh? 40hrs sounds like a ton of extra juice! It's not too bulky or anything?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TheLynxy:
Thank you for your reply. What you say does make sense, but its really weird because I've been discharging it to 5% every time now (conditioning it 6 times, this is my 5th time). All the other times it was a steady drop from 30% to 5%, nothing fast like this, at least as far as I can remember. I'll certainly keep an eye on it though. It wasn't fun to wake up and realize I was late for work, haha.

The battery is fantastic. I use my phone all the time, mainly for games and surfing, plus tons of modding. Thought the day I'll receive a handful of texts, use maps once in awhile, and have bluetooth music going for 2 hours a day. On my 1300 battery, I had everything optimized for maximum battery life, and it'd typically be 20% at end of work day.

With this 3500 monster though, it only goes down to 70% at the end of the day. Its super nice. The battery makes the phone larger, sure. I thought it looked really ugly while I was researching the battery, but once I received it its no problem! Not an eye sore; the phone looks pretty much like it was made like that. I don't even notice it, both aesthetically and form wise. Fits in my hand just as well as it did before, plus the larger door protects the camera lens. Win win all around imo!

I was playing yesterday with some normal wallpapers instead of my normal live ones and noticed that when I do not use a Live Wallpaper and I go to my huge list of applications, the scrolling if amazingly smooth but when I have a Live wallpaper it is a bit choppy for my taste.

Anyone else noticed this?

My Quadrant and Neocore scores do not change though.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
My biggest complain with Live Wallpapper is the excessive battery usage. It seems the live wallpaper will be active whenever screen is on, even if the an application is running and the wall paper is invisibile.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
I thought that too but the fact that I still get the same scores with benchmarks seems to indicate it does not affect apps but only the main interface or something.

Did you notice different scrolling smoothness?
[Captivate General] mobilehavoc:
This is NOT true. The live wallpaper is not active while an app is in the foreground. A way to see this is to run System or a task manager and look at the CPU of the live wallpaper when you're in the task manager...0%
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I beg to differ. I've run a 1-hour GPS navigation on the phone. Afterwards, I checked the battery usage chart, the live wall paper is second highest on the list of battery hogs, right behind the screen display. I never linger on home screen for more that a few seconds. So, it is either the Live wall paper use battery extremly fast in that a few seconds, or it is active and suck battery juice while sitting in the background.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Ok and can either of you confirm my smooth scrolling question? lol
[Captivate General] mobilehavoc:
Which live wallpaper are you using? If it's a 3rd party from market maybe it's not working properly. If you use any of the ones that come with the phone out of the box, you won't have this issue.

I don't use any 3rd party ones. The m moving water is the one I used.

[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Like I mentioned, you have to leave screen on for a long time, like doing a navigation. 2~3% is still big percentage of battery usage for the little time it is on (when you doing nothing but leave it on home screen).
