I'd like to see an extended battery that will fit inside the Innocase II, where you take the original back off the phone. I have that case; it gives just enough more bulk; looks nice; fits nice in the adjustable mount by Proclip; and there is room when the metal back is off for more battery.

Maybe not what they are coming up with.

I'm in the camp that what is pictured is unatractive, and just too big.

Fact is, I have plugs available for mine 90 % of the time: to computer at work, good wire setup in my car to my proclip. I don't 'need' a lot of extra power very often. I suppose I could go with that for the seldom times I need it. But then I wouldn't have a good charge on it probably :rolleyes:
[Captivate Accessories] rabbivj:
I've ordered from seidio before. They have great customer service! I had a case replaced by them under warranty no questions asked!
[Captivate Accessories] diablo009:
Maybe for a consideration, if they could make it less thicker. The bulge looks literally as thick as the phone itself!!!
[Captivate Accessories] Athailias:
As big as that thing is I am not so sure I still "want" it, but I still need it. I work 12 hours and have an hour drive each way so listening to Pandora throughout the night and during my drive would be sweet if I didn't have to plug my phone in for half of the night.
[Captivate Accessories] ZoinksS2k:
I've had two of these extenders, one for a Blackberry Bold, the other for an Evo 4G. Here are some points:

Order it from Amazon. I recall saving about $10 from the price on Seidio's site

From a quality perspective, the back panel extenders are hit and miss. The BB was good, the 4G was marginal at best. The 4G never fit fit perfectly, but it never fell off either. The plastic they use is rubberized and tends to take on a shine after use.

Seidio's capacity ratings are, for the most part, way high. This means that comparing the MaH's is academic.

They work, but the size on the 4G made a big phone laughably so.

If you need to extend your battery by around 50% and don't mind the extra bulk, they are OK.

I won't be purchasing one of these for my Captivate. The current form factor is just too good. I carry a second battery in my laptop bag and find this to work for me, even with my Angry Birds habit.
[Captivate Accessories] douglastheduke:
Please tell me the extended battery cover will be at least somewhat rubberized. It's going to be tough finding a silicone cover for this.

[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
I got this 1800mah battery on ebay for $10 shipped! Used it for three days so for. No complaints. Definitely has more juice then stock battery. I used Seidio in the past with great results, but it makes it kinda hard to justify $70 outlay when you can get something like this for $10

cgi.ebay.com/1800mAh-Samsung-i9000-T959-Galaxy-S-G7-Battery-/150530966762?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item230c5844ea
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
Wow 300 more than stock. Does it stick out?? How much longer does it last compare to stock 1500?
[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
This battery fits right in. No need for aftermarket back cover!

I can't tell you definitely how much longer it lasts, but by the end of the day I seem have ~10% more juice left then before.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
Usually i can go 16hours on stock. Moderate to heavy usage.

Can go up to 22 with light usage. So im hoping to get whole day easily with this.
[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:
hmm this looks enticing. Anyone else using this higher capacity battery? I'm looking for a little more juice. Will this negatively affect the captivate at all?
[Captivate Accessories] ph00ny:
i can vouch for seidio battery

i've used them in my winmo phones and my dad has their extended battery in his evo 4g (i wonder why :p) and neither of us ever had any issues with their product
[Captivate Accessories] rsohne:
I just received the Seidio extended battery today. I can only speak on the looks so far. Its not as bad as I thought it would be but the design of the Captivate requires them to have the bulge in the middle. I kind of like it since I always found the Captivate slippery and it makes it easier to hold on to the phone. The cover is plastic with a rubber material similar to Seidio's iPhone cases. I will report back in a couple of days after getting this charged and in use. Also I do believe this will still fit in their holster facing in.
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
I presume then it pretty much stops us from using the Seido Innocase.

Unless speaking of a different type of holster, I can't imagine the phone working in the Innocase holster w/o being in the innocase itself.

Would be nice to see some PICs.
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:
I agree. Some pics from all angles would be nice! :)
[Captivate Accessories] n19htmare:
I laugh everytime someone mentions Seidio and reputable in the same sentence.

Chinese batteries, rebadged and well advertised at huge markups. That's what Seidio is.
[Captivate Accessories] tbong777:
Damm That is huge. I don't even use a case because i like to slip the phone undetected into my pockets. All I need is 15 hours anyway. I charge every night and have a couple extra batteries always cooked on the charger for ROM flashing anyway. I would buy one if i could use the stock cover,

Not to mention I learned a long time ago not to use anything but OEM batteries and chargers....
[Captivate Accessories] Garoto1973:
I saw this on Amazon and caught my attention, it doesn't seem to be that horrible after all, beats the "beluga" for the Vibrant. But then again, I've only seen the glamour shots.

Can you report back how it is doing on performance? Are you getting double the amount of time on your phone? Does it overheat?

If possible can you post down to earth pictures from different angles to see how it looks like? Thanks!
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
Must not be many selling, given a bit of time out now, and yet no pics or updates on how they work.
[Captivate Accessories] tyc0:
I'm curious to know, did anyone purchase the 3000mAh battery with the different back cover? If so, did you find that your GPS signal improved?
[Captivate Accessories] ogar1978:
I just charged my Seido with back cover last night. I will report back tonight how the first day went.
[Captivate Accessories] flashy_mcflash:
What the hell? Who greenlit that design? I think that would bring the thickness of the phone past my old Nokia N95, which is the whole reason I upgraded to a sleeker smartphone!

This should be in the dictionary next to Failboat.
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
Great.

How about some decent pics of it in the phone from various angles too.

Hope it works well for you.
[Captivate Accessories] ogar1978:
I will put some pics up this weekend for everyone.

The Battery gave me about 75%-80% more battery life. With the standard battery I was getting about 7 hours of heavy use. Push Gmail and echange server with emails comming every 10 minutes easily. I probably talk on the phone about 2-4 hours throughout the day also. Now I have about 20% battery after 12 hours.

The GPS signal works great and was able to use it for actual driving navigation the past 2 days. Betwen Perception 10.1 and possibly the larger foot[rint on the battery cover the gps worked great.

The only concern I have is with the amount of battery drain spare parts shows with bluetooth enabled. It was the highest battery usage I had both days.

The size for me is slightly annoying as it slightly more then doubles the thinkness however the increase in battery is more then worth it.

Overall I am very happy with my only real complaint being the size.
[Captivate Accessories] reinbeau:
I can't help but wonder what that new backing does to the GPS on the Captivate, given that the antenna seems to be located back there?
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:

GSP? He's one of my all time favorite!

Anyways, I do believe someone has confirmed a few posts back that it has no effect what-so-ever. Could be wrong.

[Legend Android Development] brunswick000:
Hello Legend users. I'm posting here on behalf of a friend who has had his Legend for about a month. He has been having connection issues. Most specifically his 3g drops all the time, or rather it switches from 3g to H in the status bar whenever he opens his browser. Ive tried adjusting his apn settings (Bell Mobility) which didnt work. I searched on the web and found some info referring to connection problems with early build numbers. Given that we are in Canada it wouldnt surprise me if he was on the earliest build number out there. His current is 2.02.666.3 (CL177708). And i guess the question i have for all of you is whether anyone else here has had similar issues?

Any help is appreciated
[Legend Android Development] jmkhenka:
It says 3g and shows H when downloading.

3g is just the name of the network type. H stands for HDSPA and is the "speed".

So its normal to show H when on 3g. If it shows E (edge) or G (gprs) then it means 2g speeds, that is G is extremely slow en E is a bit faster but H is 7.2mbps (depending on network, might just be 3.6 if you dont have turbo 3g).
[Legend Android Development] evank418:
i don't think legend has 3g issues. i've been using legend from the build # 1.31, 1.32, 2.03,2.05, and 2.06. never really had an issue with 3g(i live in Korea and using KT). But i do have problem with wifi connection. it does connect to my wifi router and indicate that it is connected, but i always loose connection. i have another 4g hotspot router that is secure connection with password, that one connects find but still sometimes drops connection. don't know if this is related to the problems of aluminum case issues....but still......wifi connection is not acceptable.
[Legend Android Development] brunswick000:
K i feel stupid. Guess i should have read his manual over. Cant guess why his web pages wont load then? Super slow and then times out..... consistently. Ill play with it some more tonight.

Edit: Never mind, found out I can do it with no problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
I'm a little confused. Noobnl, do you prefer 1.3 or 1.3.1? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
1.3 contains the stock DI07 kernel. 1.3.1 contains a modified DI07 kernel that is compatible with ROM Manager. So he has no preference. It's your preference based on weather or not you use ROM Manager.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Im curious as to why he thinks DI07 kernel is better than a modified OC'd DG27 kernel. If thats the case I cant wait until we get the release of DI07 so we can OC it.

startup music plays at wrong time...

You know, one thing I noticed after I install the rom and kernel, the opening sounds for the spring logo play during the samsung logo, and not during the spring 4g logo.

just thought I would mention this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wjohnson1186:
Also, will you be removing all the sprint/useless apps that could be installed later or from the market? I like the smoothness of this and I am totally digging your work.

[BUG] On my wife's Epic with 1.03, moving widgets around and to the trash is very sensitive. Basically when you hold your finger for the one second, if it moves even the slightest it just launches the widget. My EVO is much more forgiving.

It's only with widgets and not shortcuts our app icons.

Problems with mass storage

I have been using this ROM for over a week, I love it!

I have noticed that for some reason my phone no longer likes to mount on any systems as mass storage. I have tried on multiple XP Pro 32bit systems, Windows 7 ultimate 64bit, and Mac OSX machines. It seems to be spotty at best.

The most reliable seems to be XP Pro. Even that has issues at times. Before I used this ROM the only machine that gave me problems was the Windows 7 system. This might be a rare situation, since I have yet to see anyone else report something like it.

Any ideas?

Check the pass through mode by entering ##8778# into the dialer. Make sure usb mode is PDA not modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solarundies:
I have noticed that others have been complaining about spotty USB connections. The WinXP machine only likes my phone when plugged into a specific one of the ports, and even then it's spotty. The OSX machines never gave me problems until I loaded the ROM.

I have been using the stock USB cable. I'll go out and buy another one today and test it out. I will also try holding the cable snug as suggested by another user.

I always do get notification from the phone that it's plugged into USB and starts debug mode. I've switched debug mode on and off but it doesn't seem to affect it. The Win7 machine will notice the phone's plugged in and adb works, just mass storage doesn't. OSX machines are doing the same now.

Not saying that the ROM is the culprit, just testing each possibility. If necessary I'll start a new thread or continue an existing one in general epic area, so I don't thread jack noobnl.

Thanks for the suggestions! Much appreciated.

Anyone having issues with Gmail? Since I installed the ROM, I'll get my email fine, but it doesn't sync back with the server that it was read/deleted. This is using the standard gmail app, Andromeda 1.0.3, and Mixup kernel with Voodoo. It was also doing this with Noobnl's kernel.

Side note: I uninstalled Juicedefender just to see if it was messing with the sync, but the problem persisted.
