Me too :confused:

I've just shipped one from Germany, and my power pack charges my Galaxy upto 50% only. Next time, I will not touch to my phone when it is charged from power pack, and then report what happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
How do you know it's 1500mah? Samsung told me it's 600mah and the amount it charges an uncharged phone would indicate the same. Clove have also confirmed with Samsung that the pack is 600mah and have updated their website accordingly: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-power-pack

You also state, that because its output is 600mA then it'll take a long time to charge. Surely at 600mA... it'll takes about 2.5 hours to charge fully? That's about the same as on the mains.

Could you take a picture of your manufature sticker on the case to confirm it is the same model etc that other people have got?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
sure.. I've attached the image... it's a 5.55Wh battery at 3.7V

5.55/3.7 = 1.5Ah = 1500mAh

as far as charging goes.. i use a 1200mA nokia charger.. so 600 is pretty slow..

Everyone else got the same on theirs?

I'll do some experimenting too, see what happens
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
Ok just gave it a try out.. got 70% charge from it while l was listening to music on bluetooth.. so quite plausibly could get a full charge if it were off..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crabby09:
Thanks for that... Think mine must have been faulty. Didn't take a photo of it at the time, so can't remember the numbers, but it definately would get past a 50% charge whilst off.

How good is Clove shipping abroad?

Had 18% yesterday evening before sleeping.

Charging with my EBB, 3G on; WLAN, BT, Screen off.

Got 94% in the morning. That´s OK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
I like that i can get from the morning to the end of a night out without having to worry about charging it up.. can't remember the last time i had a phone that could do that!

i got mine from play.com btw... don't know if i mentioned that earlier
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Just bought my power pack for S$79 promo price at Samsung Vivo City Singapore! The normal price is S$99.

Hurry, I was told they only have a few stocks left.

...

update: I used the Power Pack, it charged my SGS battery from 10% to 85% with sync & wifi on. I'm happy with that.

Sent from my Samsung I9000 Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] flyer138:
got this from amazon uk for 38 pounds
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jago25_98:
Since this thread came out we have bigger batteries and bigger batteries that still fit in the stock case.

1) Can any of these batteries combine with this?

2) Does the phone switch off when switching over to the external battery?

3) Can you leave it on all the time and charge both batteries by plugging in once overnight?

Went on a sailing trip... backup phone got dunked and the i9000 ran out of battery! Recommend carrying a backup phone too!

Sale!

Gonna have a look a possibly hack it into a wireless charger. If I succeed I will post here
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pedrsantiago:
It's a bit ugly IMO, specially the samsung labeled part at the top... are the extra hours really worth it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jago25_98:
Ok mine has arrived. Mixed feelings.

The main thing I didn't expect is that the bottom pops down to get it on the phone.

Pros:

- it saves the charging port from breaking

- you can combine it with sleek replacement batteries. You can also still carry an additional battery spare too

- you can charge it separately or with it attached as the time time as the phone. If you charge with it attached the external battery is done after the internal battery reached 100%

- it's actually got 3 lights for charge on the back

Cons:

- it's a glued sealed unit. I was hoping to crack it open and do the wireless charging mod on it. This is going to be more difficult than I expected

- it's only 600ma!

- I reckon charging via the usb port might be a bit in efficient

- Personnally I would have preferred to charge the external battery first because that way you can keep the internal battery between 20-80% for longevity

- it's not a very good case in that there's no protection for the screen and...

- there's no antislip rubber feet on it. I guess some could be glued on...

I'll get back in touch if I can figure out how to crack this thing open for wireless charging mod.

All in all I say it's worth it now it's half price but I would have said no before when it was more cash.

Also, I'm yet to use it so it will be interesting to see how much extra juice it gives and how long the battery lasts bearing in mind also that it's not supposed to be replaceable.

edit:

actually the mugen battery doesn't fit with it on! also makes cover hacks pretty bad. both of these things make it not worth the cash in my mind. also it heats the phone so it can't be used as a gps because when using sat nav the phone heats up, too much to allow the. battery to charge!

now I have keyboard lag...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bidboy:
Also received mine today. Agree with all the comments above. Does make the phone twice as thick & twice as heavy. Strange that the instruction booklet shows a diagram with the charging port half way down on the right, but it is actually at the top on the left ( where the hump is ) !. Still need a screen protector as there is no lip at the front, but camera lens wont get damaged as its deeply recessed. Does not effect pics or videos though. Also noticed that it will only fit with the original battery cover, if using one of those cheap replacement covers the bottom section will not click into place.

Overall I think that at this price its ok, certainly not worth double. If you want to be sure your phone will last the whole day or perhaps a weekend, & dont want the hassle of carrying a spare & removing & replacing the back cover, then this will be very usefull.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] autophone:
my i9000 is one and a half years of age, i am not gonna buy a battery pack that costs the same as my phone (if i sell it). better get a standard juice pack if you don't mind the shape. you could still use it if you upgrade to another phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] scorpion2884:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zuphus:

Hello,

I did a Hardreset on my XDA Mini and after that it loads when I start the files for the system and after that it changes back to the "Serial v1.02" screen.

How can I fix the phone that I can use it as before?

What is wrong?

I tried to upgrade to the new version of the o2 xda mini and after that it goes back to the "Serial" screen everytime.

I need help :/
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadaskr:
I fixed this when I remove battery ant wait two hours. Or just try press soft reset button
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mixtape:
Thanks for the answer.

I'll try but I guess that this won't work.

Would be happy if someone could give me more help...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadaskr:
If that don't work, try to reinstall your rom. If that happened when OS was loaded then that could be rom fail

Info from this thread originally - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760805

Since we are using larger screens google recommends we change our dpi from 240 to 160, this probably looks fine for stock builds but on sense builds everything looks crazy. I currently have mine(on a sense build) at 210 however feel free to change it to what is best for you.

to perform this modification

pull the build.prop from /system/build.prop

open the file using a text editor and change ro.sf.lcd_density=240 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160(or whatever number you choose)

then push the file back to /system/build.prob

(i used a paid app called root explorer for this process)

if you want you use terminal emulator or adb here are the commands:

su

cp /system/build.prop /sdcard

then once youve edited the file

cp /sdcard/build.prop /system

you can use the same commands over adb by entering adb shell

download the spare parts app from the market and untick the compatibility mode then reboot (this fixes the issues some apps have with scaling)

the result of this mod is more things fit on the screen e.g. lists and web pages and games like raging thunder 2 look better as they arent being stretched out as much.

i recommend for a sense build: 200 to 220

for a vanilla build 160-220

if anyone has any better numbers please post :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] jubeh:
http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html

input the values for HD2, you get ~217 dpi if you want to be anal about it

I wonder what effect not specifying any DPI would have...
[HD2 Android SD Development] pongster:
this would be great if the lockscreen wallpaper would be retained... changing the dpi messes with the static wallpapers set...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jragar:
I've tried 200, looks ok. I've always thought that we need to up the dpi, at 240 its way too huge for our screen.

160 messed everything up for me, the notification bar etc only filled half the screen. Other than that it looked awesome though! 200 might be the best, would be good to hear other opinions, not got a great deal of time to test
[HD2 Android SD Development] FreakyFerret:
Is there a way to do it without Root Explorer?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Amal77:
Go to your windows mobile, then edit the same file from the same folder of the Android. (not sure whether this works on all build, Shu8i build does work)
[HD2 Android SD Development] random_username_:
217 looks like 220 and leaving it blank sets it 160(thats what it looks like i cant tell really since it is blank)

would using a higher res wallpaper fix this?

160 on sense didn't mess up my status bar although some widgeds dissappeared. Which build are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xkravenx:
Interesting thread. I am using Mattc 1.5b Froyo. Anybody tries this? I am afraid of screwing my almost perfect setup.

[HD2 Android SD Development] lucian777:
with 220 most of the apps doesnt scale properly and some doesnt work at all. Back to 240.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xkravenx:
I set mine to 210.

It's hard to see the difference. I use MattC 1.5b with Froyo version...

The icons for "folder organizer" look smaller. But everything else seems to be the same. e.g. the htc sense applications, home, etc.

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] random_username_:
here are some screenshots from the dpi changed from 240 to 200
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
This is what I've tried with mattcnexusleo1.1_512....

the 240 / 200:

I like the 200, it makes the keyboard smaller enough for me to type easier.:D

**mods please delete my post. JJbdoggg raced me to it...only sec's late:) sorry...
[HD2 Android SD Development] palosjr:
the settings wont keep on shu8i builds... weird... i tried modifying build.prop both on the phone and on pc... after pushing and rebooting it doesnt change, it actually changes back to 240... i tried the spare parts workaround, unchecking compat. mode and still no luck. any ideaS?
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
Yeah your right same goes with me. I can't change it either that is why i used mattcnexusleo1.1_512 build. It worked with it...

[HD2 Android SD Development] Sichroteph:
You change build for that ? o-o

Shubcraft have cyanogen mod, wich is much more easier to make updates, no need to push anything and its great if you do a mistake see post above :-)

-great tip thanks ! My screen looks really huge now at 200.. The appdraw is impressive too ... I'll wait for tomorrow to see if these smaller fonts are still readable with the sun.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jragar:
indeed.

there are 2 build.prop s - the above is what you're looking for. works a treat :) 200 looks good to me
[HD2 Android SD Development] the_scotsman:
Works ok...but not sure if I'll keep it...(I used 210)

The taskbar icons now have a very slight blur to them...they aren't sharp like they were...doesnt look good...

And the home screen (with sense) now has huge gaps between widgets...doesn't look right either...

It's such a pity the home screen widgets have to "lock" into place and aren't able to be placed anywhere...we could do so much more with the widgets....
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
@Sichroteph,

I didn't really changed my build, I'm still using Shubcraft v1.4c...I just tried Mattc's on my other memory card out of my curiosity. I cant change the lcd density with shubraft's. Tried a couple of times but nothing changed, but with mattc's, I did it on the 1st try. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. i save it after I edit it but after i reboot it returns back to 240...

edit: got it at last. changed Shubcraft 1.4d lcd density. guess I misunderstood the instructions...

/sdcard/android/root/system/build.prop
[HD2 Android SD Development] jan-willem3:
You need to mount the system as read - write
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sichroteph:
I understand I had the same problem... Actually everything you put into sdcard/android/root will be automatically pushed on your system on the next reboot. Its kind of mirror. Just copy the file into the same directory on the sd card with a regular file explorer and now you can edit it. (make the folder if it doesn't exist)

Two cool things to that :

-its easy (when I update the kernel, I just have to insert the sdcard on my pc, copy zimage and the wifi file bcm4329 into the android/root/system/lib/modules and that's it)

-you can test themes the same way, copying the framework-res.apk on the sdcard automatically push it.

If the phone crash badly I just have to remove the file from the sdcard And I don't have to reinstall everything (but i make backup before just in case :-) )

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xkravenx:
I agree. Not 100% sure if I like it. Or if it looks any better than at 240. I am at 210 now.

Do you see any impact on your battery life?
[HD2 Android SD Development] toxtrepla:
Why would this have any impact on your battery?
[HD2 Android SD Development] FriedSushi87:
Is there any setting for shubCRAFT LCD density that won't make any scaling issues in apps?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xkravenx:
Not sure. It just feel like the bettery life seems to be worse after doing this.

Does it make sense?

can u also place more icons on screen with this ?

in menus more items show e.g. market and icon grid, however in the launcher since the icons are locked into place you cannot do this. check the screenshots on page 2
[HD2 Android SD Development] paulrgod:
Wow i really like how this looks - im using Darkstones Froyo V1 Build and set it to 160.

I'm getting a weird issue though - the usually white top bar is now black with a small white bit at the far left and also when i sweep down the notifications i get this happening (see the screenshot) - any way to fix these 2 issues?

Cheers

[HD2 Android SD Development] :
have you tried downloading the spare parts app and disabling compatibility mode? im using mmattcnexus 1.1 and dont have this problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] paulrgod:
yeah ive done that already :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
are you using launcher pro?
[HD2 Android SD Development] paulrgod:
Yeah i have the paid for version. I've just tried with the compatibility mode ticked and it seemed to fix the notification tray, but still borked at the top :( and apps were tiny, so booting back with it unticked now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
maybe its the rom youre using because i cant think of anything else, sorry :(

No worries, i'v increased to 180 and its now fine so im happy now :)

modified my dpi to 160 on darkstone froyo 2.1. Screen looks great apart from the few issues mentioned by others.

i am unable to use all available space for the widgets on the homescreen though. It appears some of the extra space gained by the dpi increase is not usable.

Anyone experiencing the same issues?

Regards,

Ross
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
- Thanks for the tip, I'll try that with the themes....:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] rossl:
After playing around setting it to 180 dpi seems to work best and not give glitches on android market (did@160).

The settings menu icons do not look as stretched either

This is on a rom without sense!
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
this is becasue in the launcher the widgets and icons 'snap' into place
[HD2 Android SD Development] lemonspeakers:
So then, is there any way to use the unoccupied spaces using someother launcher? Sense? AWD?
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
if you can find a launcher which dosent snap them into place then probably yes
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
tried both 160 and 180 using mat's 1.6b and no issues at all with the wallpaper. I installed latest launcherpro on top of sense ui.

Only issue, albeit minor, is if I go 160, the time when locked is a bit out of place as the curved strip is narrower than the font of the clock.... hence I switched to 180 at least it's not off place.... other than tah no issues... taskbar is ok for both 160 and 180.

hope this helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] rossl:
ADW launcher you can add more horizontal and vertical rows to fill the screen. I find Launcher Pro can provide enough for it not to look silly.

One thing I have noticed is the OpenGL demos are acting strange. However score in quadrant is the same.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kerman19:
That's why I use ADW.Launcher, I used a 5x4 home screen setup, I think you can do up to 6x6, which looks much better with a smaller DPI.

Phil
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
+1 just tested this and set it to 6x6 and i can have more icons
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
screenshots - homescreen set to 6x6, app draw set to 8x5

edit: forgot to mention that with adw you can set widgets to whatever size you want
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
is that at 180 or 160??
[HD2 Android SD Development] maqsur:
I tried the ADW launcher (great suggestion, btw), and it's working great. I use shubcraft 1.4c, at 160 dpi. Looks really nice and high-res. Market works, but doesn't scroll (i can live with that). Otherwise, things look good now.

Thanks to shu8i for the build, and thanks to above posters for suggesting adw launcher.

I use t-mo usa.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
its at 180
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddym123:
is there anyway to change the slider on the sense build?

Hah no need thought it would be mess up but it looks good
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
those using a sense build like Matt's 1.6b, do not set below 200 (or 210 can't remember). it looks nice, but it breaks the facebook for sense. If you go to 180 or 160, then add facebook account, you will get FCs when you try to link the google account to the facebook account (especially on accounts where the links are suggested).

Hope this helps as it took me 2 hours to figure out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:

yep.. for shubcrft's build, 180 is the perfect setting. 160 breaks the taskbar on top. for sense 200 is optimal, but that's only my .02

Don't change /system/build.prop file

Change /sdcard/Android/root/system/build.prop file

You don't even need to push you can directly edit. Just reboot and settings will stay.

(your files revert back because you forgot to delete the build.prop file that is under Android folder. It gets copied to real system on bootup)
