The only thing I don't like in the design is the tab in the upper left corner. They surely could have made the USB connection without this massive thing there.

BTW, does anybody know what is this thing below the USB port? It looks like a button, but I wonder what could be the purpose of that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mickeko:
Obviously they could have ignored the tab-thing, but at the expense of durability.

I would think the button is to show battery level on the back leds.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] r35urr3c710n:
Does anyone now where and when i can buy it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Beards:
It's not released yet but look at your own countries web sites for placing a back order.

For UK orders MobileFun.co.uk are listing it here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cantIntoCode:
Awesome, looks great! Can't wait to get my hands on one!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AER0:
BTW has anyone ever thought how nice it would be if they added a xenon flash

on that case so that we can finally put to rest the "oh the Galaxy S has no flash

and the iPhone 4 does" comment?

It would have been quite innovative if Samsung could have come up with that,

instead of a random guy like myself thinking about it and posting the idea up on a forum. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Beards:
But why do you need a flash?

The lens on the Galaxy S for low light is outstanding ~ part due to it's fantastic low 2.5 F-Stop.

I've never had the need to use a flash with the Galaxy S camera and to be truthful I wouldn't want to either. Flash hardware on phone's are not a patch to that which is found on a dedicated flash for a proper camera. Phone camera flash hardware is notorious for giving the 'whiteout' effect. It simply can not deliver a natural and well balanced lit environment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AER0:
If not having a flash didn't hinder me from taking decent pictures in pubs (which don't have the greatest lighting,

or are dimmed on purpose) I'll be good.

But is it the case here, with the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
no one mentioned that if it is indeed connecting thrugh usb which it must by design.. then it will most likely continually charge battery while using.. which is not good in long term for your battery much better to charge fully then run down to nthing and recharge fully then to trickle charge it off and on during the day. in fact they say not to leave phone plugged in after fully charged.. how are they going to stop that damn popup from coming up all the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Beards:
Ahh you have me on my pet hate here "flashed in pub's".... So annoying when your sat talking and every now and then a blast of light flashes from someone's phone.

That's why I use the Night feature and change the WB.

I suppose we are a little different here.... I love my photography and am happy to experiment with my cameras (inc the Galaxy S) to get the better more creative shot.

Anyway..... sorry, back on topic...... the case. :)

Genuine Samsung Galaxy S Power Pack Case / Rechargeable Battery / Black

:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sonek:
Looking at that, one of our questions seems to be answered, they say it's 1300mA...

Edit:

Just checked the page again, forget the value above. Seems it's not clear to them also, at one point there is "1500mA External Battery" and then below the picture "The Samsung Galaxy S Power Pack allows the handset to be put inside a protective case that also has a built-in 1300mAh battery that can be used to run or charge the handset"

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hondaguy:
maybe in the 1980s, but the batteries used these days are fine with being charged at any time. you will ruin the battery by letting it constantly discharge before charging. google search it, i am sure there are many articles on this

Power-Pack EBB-U10 is available for preorder

Hi all,

Today, I browse the Internet and found this!!!

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s-extended-battery-case-p25834.htm

But it's price, £39.99, seems little too expensive...

And all images found is designed/edited photos.

Really hope to see some real pics with Galaxy S hooked on.

Anyone got this on hand please share~

I found some real pics from http://android.hdblog.it/2010/10/08/anteprima-recensione-power-pack-ebb-u10-samsung-galaxy-s/?nggpage=2

It's little disappointed as it's not that pretty as it seems on the edited pic...:(

but i am still willing to try once it's available.

This got announced ages ago?

Play.com has it for 30 quid.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bsamurai:
ok, i'm confuse now,

judging from the photo below (from play.com), there is no external power source input (USB) on top, how do we charge this babe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AER0:
I'm just guessing here but it might be possible; however ugly and unorganized it may be,

that they provide a female microusb converter cable for charging purposes.

(since creating such cables in mass production wouldn't cost much)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Snuble:
To me it looks like a USB hole on the side.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
theres a usb port on the side middle part, which can be seen from the pic
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bsamurai:
that setup wasn't available in HDBlog.it website photo if you notice
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mrfil13:
Such a shame about the section that connects to the USB. If this was much smaller it would look much better.

Hopefully someone will develop something similar like the one for the iphone4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bsamurai:
huh? what so shame for that? I can't even find out which is the actual location for the USB charge point. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] UnRelevant:
Is it just me or does anyone else find this a seriously ugly addition... like Cinderella wearing a burlap sack and tomato boxes for shoes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sonek:
Has anyone else noticed that the design has changed slightly? Or are we looking at two different products? The one from play.com has an usb port on the middle of the right side, and nothing at the top left corner, whereas the hdblog.it version has a port at the top left and only an on/off at the right edge. Also, the latter one is a bit more rounded and has thinner edges on the side.

What do you think the battery animation icon will response when you have EBB-U10 attach to a near empty internal battery?

Will the battery show "charging" animation" or it just give us the new combine battery balance? :)

i opt for the first result. :)

same here lol. I bought 2 batteries & charger from spiderfoot and that does the job for me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rickylcp:
I guess it will show charging or charged.

For estimating the combined battery balance, application (or firmware) need to be updated to adapt the change.

Since the i9000 firmware doesn't aware of such stuff when she was borned! :)

Just ordered mine from Play.com..

Found this at http://www.iccellphone.com/tag/ebb-u10-power-pack/

and it mentions LED lights :-

Besides, it comes with a standby time of 500 hours. It only weighs about 70 grams with a LED lights

and looking at the pic there are 3 white dots,could these be LED`s for the camera maybe ?? and on one of the pictures at the start of this thread there appears to be a button on the case that would not correspond with anything on the phone,or am I just completley off beam here !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] watermeade:
Looks like I am wrong,after a bit more digging it appears that they are status LED`s which would explain how you know it need charging,anyone got A level German:-

Samsung hat in seinem Newsletter 07/2010 den Zusatz-Akku "Power Pack EBB-U10" für das Galaxy S angekündigt. Dabei handelt es sich nicht einfach um einen Austausch-Akku, der anstelle des Originals eingelegt wird, sondern um einen neuen Akkudeckel mit integrierter Status-LED. Dadurch soll das Android-Handy noch einmal 8,5 Stunden Sprechzeit und 500 Stunden Standby schaffen.

Which might explain what the suspicious button does,press it to display the status LED`s

Mind you if they were white and bright you could have a video light maybe !!

Google is your friend :-

German to English translation

Samsung has announced in his newsletter 07/2010 adding Battery Power Pack EBB-U10 "for the Galaxy S. This is not simply a replacement battery that is inserted in place of the original, but a new battery cover with integrated status LEDs. This should create the Android phone again 8.5 hours of talk time and 500 hours standby

no stock on the 5th wtf? did anyone get one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chriszzz:
Sorry if I'm not getting it, but I don't quite understand why would anyone buy this over a regular battery that you can just swap out. I could understand iPhone users wanting this because they have no way of swapping batteries, but the galaxy S has a perfectly swappable battery, plus this monstrosity increases the weight and size of your svelte Galaxy by a good 50% or more.

Wouldn't a regular extra battery be cheaper, lighter, while keeping your phone as slick as the day it was born, plus being available right now ? Even a fat high-capacity battery would be a better option, in my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AER0:
Cheaper, Yes. Lighter, Yes. As slick as, Yes.

However switching over will mean shutdown and stopping one's current activities on the phone.

These battery packs/kits appeal to consumers because the illusion of "continuous" addition of power.

(so one can enjoy watching the entire movie or continue to enjoy playing a game

instead stopping in the middle)

yeah there are more accessories which have been announced by samsung months ago for the galaxy s ... they didnt even release the car window holder yet ... i cant understand that ... it is really annoying ... the shipping was planned at the mid of october ... i send an request to samsung germany in september with this answer ... now its december and still nothing available ... really ****ty
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhilAd:
i have made an email request today for one more time and i got the following answer:

that means, that the power pack is available now at Samsung and the Car-Holder will be available in the 50th Week of 2010.

After that I asked them why it is not yet on the Website of samsung.de or samsungzubehoer.de (the official samsung accessories website in germany) and where I am able to order the power pack when it should be available from now.

And they just told me the following:

So I ordered my Power Pack by replying the second e-mail to the samsung support ... I hope they didn't lie to me. I think I have to wait until tomorrow now for an answer ... lets hope that it is really true ... already waiting so long for the carholder and the power pack.

http://www.samsungzubehoer.de

EDIT: Today I received my Order-Confirmation with the bill. 50€ incl. tax + 4,95€ delivery and I got also my confirmation for my preordered Samsung Carholder which will be shipped for free when its available.

I have the Power Pack.

My Power pack just came in...

There is a extra button on it but it does not drive the camera as was suggested in an earlier post.

The button is to turn on or off charging the battery.

And the Led's are to see how full the power pack still is.

Its a 1500 mAh battery that's in the power pack.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
So.. this is official? Any pics? I'd like to see how the LEDs look. I guess the charging button makes more sense than camera. Glad to hear it's coming! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Roy Ngan:
nente002, mind write a review here?

1. the performance? How long it last (on your unit, not a benchmark, but just to know)?

2. How long it takes from zero to fully charged?

3. Build Quality?

4. When you plug in this unit on your (not fully charged) SGS,

a. does SGS show a "charging battery animation"?

b. or it give you total brand new average battery life?

5. Which battery run flat first?

a. The EBB-U10?

b. The SGS?

c. both run flat together?

6. Do you need to remove EbB-U10 in order to charge the original SGS battery? or you can do it with it attached on SGS?

and mind I know how did you get that?

Thank in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Roy Ngan:
nente002,

Saw a comment (translate by google, not sure how good is it), the unit comes with a button to allow you to decide to charge the SGS or just stay put.

Hi guys,

I've been on a trip to Italy last few days..

so that's why I reply so late.

I've used the power pack while I was on this trip and I must say it is great! The power pack allows you to charge the phone..I switched it on when my batt was running low, it then charges the battery in about 3 hours. and then there is still some juice left..in the power pack.

I then disconnect the power pack from the phone and plug it into a wall outlet. Went out for dinner and when I got back the power pack was charged.

So basicly it allows you to use your phone 24/7 without connecting it to a wall outlet.. just charge the phone on the go with the power pack!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Aqrab:
1+ for this
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nente002:
1 My battery normally lasts for about a day or two, depending on usage. the EBB-U10 does not change that how ever it allows to recharge the sgs.

And I'll answer question 5 now as well I get about 1,2 times the normal life.

2 I did not wait till my battery was completely empty, I turned on the EBB-U10 at about 18% and it was fully charged in about 3 hours. The EBB using the normal SGS power adapter takes about 3-4 hours to charge.

3 Feels solid, the power pack has a rubber feel to it.

The EBB-U10 is almost as heavy as the sgs it self (did not put it on a scale just a feel..)

4 a it show a charging animation as if plugged in.

b its basically a wireless charging unit so no change if you look at predicted uptime.

5 They both are 1500 mAh so power pack runns out of juice after 1 full charge.

But sins I never wait till my battery is at 0% but charge at 10 or 20% I got about 1,3 charge out of it..

The good thing is before the power pack and the phone both run out I was able to disconnect the power pack and plug it into a wall outlet so while that was charging I was back on the move and got back to the hotel later that evening and connected the pack back to the phone.

The next day the battery of the sgs was getting low and I turned the EBB back on and the charging Icon appeared a-viola three hours later Plong.. disconnect charger message appaired and I turned the pack off. (now if I look at the power left in the EBB it shows two out of three LEDS.)

So if you are able to get to a wall outlet or other power source within 2 times normal use then like I did disconnect the EBB from the sgs let the EBB charge.. when Full and you have the chance to pick the EBB up you are never without your SGS like a extra battery without the hassle of turning the sgs off remove the battery and boot back up again...Up 24/7..

6 You can charge the sgs if you turn the power pack off like normal, so you don't have to remove the power pack you use the EBB's Micro USB connector.

Also the normal USB function works when you connect the sgs to a pc via the EBB.

"and mind I know how did you get that?" you mean where?

From this site http://www.pdashop.nl/ but I think they don't ship outside holland.

If this is not what you mean please refrase the question?

And a pleasure to have given you an answer! Glad to contribute!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cheesy87:
Is this correct, the powerpack charged my phone only on 50% or is broken the pack?

I bought it in an electronics shop in vienna original packaging, but i not satisfied.

Is it possible that you are heavily using the phone (3G) or there is application running at the back that drain your original battery while it's charging?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alvinkh:
i got it up to around 50% batt too

i think it might be due to i'm using hsdpa/gprs round the clock for push mail
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ranwej:
I buyed this stuff too and you are right.. it charged my phone from 12% only to 65%... it's 50%, but i used phone for internet browsing during charge (30 min. maybe).. So i think that power pack can charge 60% capacity of standard battery. I was only on EDGE. But it's nice, i like it :)

Hi,

where did You find that this power pack has 1500 mA?

Can You please give us a photo of this white sticker on Your Power Pac? I'm asking because on my sticker is writing that my PP has Input 600mA and output 600mA.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Still out of stock here in Singapore... they sell it for S$80
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
I am in the same predicament... Curenntly in conversations with Mobile Fun and Samsung regarding this... Everywhere states the capacity is 1300mA, but the sticker states 600mA and only charges a turned off phone to 50% from a full charge.

Can everyone confirm their manufacturers sticker? And what charge you get approx with no use of the phone?

EDIT: On further research, it appears there might be two different products? Please also confirm your model number on the post... Per Mobile Fun and my received unit it: EEB-U10BBU... Per Clove, they are expecting model: SAM-PPI9-C23. It is also worth noting that the product picture on the clove website has a different sticker position (http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-power-pack)

crabby
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] waltharius:
@crobby, mine is EEB-U10BBU and it charged only about 50% :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
Clove have confirmed their stock is 600mA as well... It looks like there may not be a 1300mA power pack.

I'm going to return mine... 50% (600mA) is not enough considering the size of the case! If it was 1300mA as is stated, then I'd probably keep it.

crabby
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jeblond:
That 600 it's not the battery capacity, it's the charging output. So when it's on the powerpack will output 5v at max 600 mah.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
Samsung have confirmed the device is 600mA. They also stated it is unlikely to be changed.

crabby
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
ok, i'm a little confused

is it

Capacity 1300 mAh

and charging current 600 mA

That would make sense i think, battery wouldn't be able to charge particularly fast and standard charger's only 700 mA
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
just thought i'd clarify in this thread after mine arrived

the battery in the case is actualy 1500mAh, so should easily be capable of doubling the life of the phone.. output is 600mA, so will take a long time to charge the phone, so kinda just use it turned on i guess
