Cheaper alternative

I got this from play.com

http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele..._$ja=tsid:11518|cc:|prd:16151351|cat:Chargers

Its only 5£ and does not reuire any battery removal. Simply clip on when required. Also comes with a car charger and multiple heads...All for 5£. I just carry it with me in case I run out and its more versatile and useable than standalone accesories.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
I meant attractive in a functional point of view, sorry for the ambiguous wording.. In terms of esthetics, perhaps it looks worse than the extended battery ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
Found a Youtube clip of the battery/cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mks7ubUi6Ik

Must admit, i am tempted with this. I don't get a full day's use out of my Galaxy S with my usage, so it is mighty tempting!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I've 'bitten the bullet' and purchased one. Maybe i'll get a full day's use out of my phone now before a charge is needed! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Just noticed this thread.

I also have the 3000mah battery.

Here's a copy/paste edited and joined few my own post's from another topic.

"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.

(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)

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.

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.

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.

Here's few pics I took.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhilPassmore:
I've been using a 12v Lion battery pack off ebay, about 100mm x 75mm x 20mm.

It has a 12 DC out jack and a standard full size USB port you can plug in your usual SGS USB lead for a 5v charge output. Has a proper on/off switch and even incorporates a small LED flash-light/torch in one end.

You can use it as a back up, a charger or just an extended pack. Yes it's bulky, but it gives a pretty good extra capacity, at 5v it's rated at 4800 mAh.

Just doing an extra test, running media player and co-pilot GPS with the screen on and it's maintaining charge and I think actually charging albeit slowly.

Obviously has the benefit that you can use it for anything that will charge off USB and even run 12V appliances (only 1500mAh at 12V however, but will run an air-bed inflater enough to give you a good nights sleep).

also those speaker and camera holes are useless. the camera most likely wont work correctly and you will get a picture of part of the hole as well as echo from the speaker..

just use wall chargers with extra batteries and keep an extra battery in your pocket like i always do... one reason this version is better than iphone.. ie replaceable batteries
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
:D it doesn't look as bad as the Magnum one

but it does looks very heavy to me :p

after putting the back battery cover on, i'm quite sure it wont fit into most leather cases, like the one i use on my belt
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BlackDino:
Damn, I wish there was something in the middle, like a 2000mAh battery pack.

Would be nice to get a full day and then some out of the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cantIntoCode:
Seen these batteries a while ago, was really tempted to buy one just to be able to use my phone throughout the whole day not having to worry about doing certain things. Decided to leave it as I love the look of the Galaxy S, and with this cheap back and the added thickness just makes the phone look terrible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Mugen mate,not Magnum...thats twice Ive corrected you now :p;)

Nah,its not that bad at all.Plus now I have the choice as to which I wanna use.And thats a good thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Yep. This time I charged from 10% capacity with wall charger and it took almost 10 hours..

What about others with this battery.How long did it take to charge in wall charger or phone for you? (Havent tried charging it in phone yet).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] v205:
Guys, Is this actuall doubling your usage time compared to the stock battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2007jchill:
Hi there I live inn aus to where did you buy one cheers in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Well I dont use my SGS all the time. See I work in the building industry and NO WAY am I taking my SGS to work there..I use a Nokia N95-1 for that.

But from the time I do use it at home off and on Id say its pretty close to double time that stock yeah.

ebay is where I got mine.You can get 'em for $22-27 posted from various sellers.

Ive noitced a new one pop up. 2800mah battery with cover,under AUD $20 posted! Only thing is they look worse cause the custom cover has a bulge where the battery is rather than making the whole cover the same thickness like the 3000mah one.

Anyway,here's some ebay links:

Mugen 3200mah battery: About AUD $120 posted (not worth it for that price Id think)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mugen-Extend...944838?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51952a8d46

Mugen 1600mah battery no custom cover required,but really...100mah extra for the price of over AUD $70! Nah..

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Mugen-Ex...945691?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51952a909b

3000mah battery (like in this thread) about AUD $23 posted

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3000mAh-Exte...788955?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1b1b

A few other sellers have them too for a bit more.

2800mah battery about AUD $20 posted

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HQ-Extended-...526232?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b4198a98

Keep in mind going through paypal you may be paying a tad more for these.(paypal conversion fee)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2007jchill:
cheers for the info OBERON
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
No probs.

Let us know which one go for if you do decide to get one.

I think for these prices (not the 3200mah Mugen one though,to much) they're defo worth a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] spruceyb:
I've got the 3000mah CS battery have noticed no affect on the camera from the back cover. The speaker however sounds a bit muffled when using speaker phone.

It definitely gives me near double, I was away from a charger over night and lasted out for at least 34 hours with moderate use.

Solar power

Dear All,

Stupid question maybe, but did you guys ever tought of a solar charger or something on your backpack/car ect? I really like the idea of having a solar panel thingy on my back with a battery charger or something to charge my phone when i put this in my backpack.

I have been looking for this some time now, and all i find are the ugly premade bags or the cheap looking "i'm not able to trust" korean stuff. But never a solid looking option.

*frquadrat's website shows to my opinion the best solar charger and i will search a bit longer and then maybe buy this solar charger. But i would love to have some backup.

BR Maarten
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Yeah,but these are just portable chargers. This thread is about the 3000mah battery.

I have recently ordered one of the small solar chargers from ebay.Built in 2600mah battery,can be charged the solar way or USB.

But again,these are just portable chargers.This topic is really about the Sino 3000mah battery. If you wanna talk portable chargers,maybe a diff topic should be started.

This looks great. And will be useful for all my usb gadgets. Does it completely charge the galaxy from empty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pinoypower:
Initial charging from empty is around 10hours, after few weeks it's around 4hours. Btw, I've been charging it in phone since day 1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pinoypower:
Have you not noticed the dark corners on your photo? Or did your battery came with a different back cover, the one with the only battery area bulging?

I've seen one on Ebay. co.uk which is 1930mAh and had the same dimensions with the standard battery... I am very tempted, I might just buy one....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I have noticed the slight dark corners in photos, not much we can do about that unfortunately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Havent tested taking pics with the fat cover yet myself but check this...3500mah now available too.

After waiting two weeks before yesterday I got a battery. On 28.10 at 22:30 hours I put fresh battery in SGS. Fresh Battery (not charged, direct from manufacture) was 24% full. It is now 30.10. 14:30 and the battery is at 22% (after about 40 hours brutto standby plus using, from this about 4-6 hours netto intesive using, I lose only 2%, cant belive)! I'm generally stronger user of the internet and everything else on SGS.

What can I say? My SGS is reborn never stronger, never better :)

i've used an 3500mah replace battery for about a month, yes great battery life but the phone became much heavier and thinker.

In fact from now i will use it as a second battery, the galaxy s is too slim to use these.

I got this 3500 battery - only £9 from Amazon.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] skythra:
I've been using a Momax Expower (?) branded 2700mah battery for about 6 months now. I know a lot of you are recluses who are near power outlets all day and night.

The reason I have a giant battery is because on friday I finish up work (i don't charge it at work) and i go out to meet my mates, we have pre-drinks, i call a cab we go to the city and get into a pub or club. That night 20+ hours after my battery has been charged, it's still easily 50% life or more left and I can call a cab for the lucky lady who i'll be sleeping with that night.

In the morning my phone is still fine so when i sneak out i can still call my mate or another cab to leave before she wakes.

Surely some of you with your stock batteries will be crying "but it's beautiful", well sometimes those who I sleep with are and aren't so i'm not picky about looks but rather it's function. When i'm done, i'm out. The battery is my lifeline to getting out clean.

If a battery doesn't last at least 34 hours then it's worthless.

2700mah battery wins. That's pretty typical usage unless i've recently installed a rom which has a bad kernel.

Of course i should mention i don't wear skinny jeans, and i'm not a fragile 24.5kg woman so a 180 gram phone doesn't really weigh me down. Maybe i'm just being masculine here, but seriously? Too heavy?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roymcd:
Hey all, I have read up alot about debranding my HTC to get 2.2 and am just about to start tonight. I am about to create the "gold card" but am wondering on what SD card should i do it on.

I have a 4GB that came with the phone and the new 16GB that I use on the phone. can I use the 4gb to create a gold card. Upgrade the phone and then just stick in my old 16gb with all my info on it?

Also was looking to see if anyone know how/if you can keep all the apps you downloaded doing this sort of upgrade.

Cheers

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duncan_donut:
I used the stock card that came with the phone, I didn't erase any data, when making the gold card all you do is write a tiny bit of info to the boot sector of that card, it does not touch the rest of the data. All my photos, mp3s and apps remained in place.

I did lose texts and contacts from phone but that's an issue with froyo i think not recognising the backup file I made in 2.1. Everything else worked fine. The apps I backed up to card and just reinstalled using appmonster. Contacts were 90% on SIM as well just not as nicely linked etc as the phone memory so I had to move them over and relink. Not a big deal just annoying.

At the moment I have LauncherPro running the home screens, but with sense still running somehow I have not lost the pinch function (I think that is a HTC sense specific thing), still have the sense screen lock but everything else on home screens and app screens is launcherpro which looks much nicer. I can still swap back to senseUI with all the widgets etc in a couple of clicks and it even remembers my settings so it's great.

I installed adw and also the stock android launcher (does not recognise the phone dialler from homescreen shortcut so stopped using). The stock android wallpaper is not in o2 2.1. or 2.2 unbranded from HTC so adding back the launcher gave me extra wallpapers too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch1974:
One thing to remember: if you want to install any OTA updates you need the goldcard in.

If you don't it can lead to things like the wi-fi not working, FC's, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duncan_donut:
I got OTA update after I reflashed, but I think that was an EU update and the RUU already flashed froyo unbranded.

One thing I do not want to happen is the phone pulls down an OTA o2 update rather than a stock HTC and rebrands it, but I guess that is impossible?

I am also wondering can I root 2.2 now and put on the engineering bootloader to allow me to use nandroid for backing up, or does the 2.2 bootloader now resist such interference?

Hello everybody...

When I tap the "mute ring" button during incoming call, it simply not works. Animation showing that screen "recognised" the tap, but it is not doing its function. The Ring call is still "on"...

I am googling for a couple of days and can't find any solution....

Anyone?

Any idea is a great help...

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davork:
46 views and nobody has an idea or my case is unique?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davork:
OK...I will extend the problem description....

I tried to "bypass" the problem by installing some apps which work on their own.

For example, Phone Ex 2.2 when I tap the "mute ring" button it does the command "Answer" wtf????

There was another app which I can't remember the name and which is originally designed to program all the hardware buttons as per user's taste, but the application didn't have any "mute ring" option.

So...I think I can not resolve the problem by installing another application, so I beleive there is somebody on this forum that can help me in a different way....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kern417:
To mute the ringer you can push the down volume key, this is what i do and it always works. This is actually a shortcut button for most phones if i'm not mistaken
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davork:
Well it WAS on previous models of HTC and blackberry, but it is not the case by default on my device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] racoonboy:
I have the same problem with my Touch2 and when this happened, my call (hard) key also not functioning. I have to do a soft reset and it came back to work again. I guess u have to soft reset your phone every couple of days so that it cleared out waste memory which effected this function.

After i soft reset mine, it works again but after using for awhile it will have the same problem. Dont know how to permenently fix

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmahaffey:
I found out that if you even pause the download, it will make your phone become inoperable. This came straight from ATT tech support. They said once it starts the update you pretty much can't touch the screen or do anything with the phone. Once it because inoperable there isn't anything you can do to get it back in working order. You pretty much are left with a pretty paper weight.

Yep. I had to go exchange mine yesterday. They looked at the phone like 'how did that happen...?'. Told them the FW update cancelled in the middle but still tried to apply and now we have a nice paperweight. He just looked at me like 'wow, that sucks...' and set me up a new Captivate.

It really doesn't make sense though. The resume button is there but it doesn't resume the D/L. How can you code a FW update to apply a partial file....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmahaffey:
Yeah it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I got my new captivate in the mail today. They over nighted it to me. The strange part is my battery was completely dead when I put it in the new captivate.
