Well, it's difficult to say. It's definitely not worse than the stock, but it's hard to feel the 18-20% extra capacity...

Unfortunately, I had an irregular usage pattern at the weekend (2x2.5h navigation, so i had to use the car charger), but I will continue with my testing and if I get to a conclusion, I will let you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
I got mine today, it was 60% charged, I'll let it drain and then I'll recharge it. Anyway after 2-3 cycles I'll see if it's better or not than the stock one. Also I bought one for a friend of mine with a HTC HD mini. So I'll have 2 verdicts soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Got my 1800mah today.

8 business days from China to AUS. Not to bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
One thing you guys fail to see is that these batteries wear out much faster than regular ones. You might get impressive battery life in the first couple of weeks, but month or two down the line, they’ll be far worse than standard ones. Therefore first impressions of these batteries don't mean much, I've had experiences with this kind of high capacity cheap Chinese batteries before. First few days are pretty amazing, but that effect won't last long. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sonek:
Maybe you are right, but for me it was worth that few bucks I paid for it. At least I have a decent replacement battery for a few months, and the original is not cycled for that few months :)

(and to be honest, I was expecting far worse results from this cheap chinese high cap batt...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
Yes, if you get a dirt cheap battery then it could work out to be cheaper even for a couple of months. But OP's battery is around 21USD, (like 1/2 of an original battery) , which IMO is not a very good deal for a battery that might only last 2 or 3 months.

I bought a couple of months used (on a demo model) genuine battery off ebay for $12, been using it for about 2 months, still holds charge as the original one I got with the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Big deal.For that price its worth trying them out so big woop.

Plus not only do I have this 1800mah battery,I also have 2 OEM 1500mah ones,a 3000mah one and 3500mah on the way :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
I agree with you on this problem, just that I had Andida on my G1, and I kept it a long time with the same performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kyiori:
seem like spider foot batteries is much better then this 1.

and it is much cheaper too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GadgetCheck:
Might be but andida is a well known battery maker! I have the 1850mah for my i9000 for a month now am loving it... Holds 20% charge xtra than the stock one... And i guess performing better than the stock one!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kyiori:
maybe u are some of the lucky guys who get a better battery from andida. haha.

@gagetcheck --how did you get your hands on that battery so fast ?

it takes atleast 3 weeks for regular shipping and 5 days for expidited shipping ?

Please post pics of the battery if you can......not much information available on the store site.

And don't forget that he then has travel back in time 7 weeks to be able to say that you use the battery for a month.. ;)

Though i have also odered the 1850mah battery frm ebay as sujested to me in the other posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GadgetCheck:
The battrey i am quoting here is the 1850mah one nt the 1800mah one so Dont get me wrong!

The 1800 one is what i wanted to buy!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GadgetCheck:
@All

this battery is nt the 1800mah as in the tread but the 1850mah!

As it is here

it states to b a 1800mah battery but is actually a 1850 batter as that is what is given on it!

"Andida 1850mah"

Nw thats why i am curiosity for buying the 1800 mah
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Jayanth.M.P:

That's a completely different battery and there's no sign of Andida..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GadgetCheck:
Yup i know that lol but when i gt it it had andida on it written dont know why..

Thats what made me intrested in this thred!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CookieCrusher:
So let me get this straight. You already have the 1850 battery and currently using it but now you want to buy the 1800 battery and another 1850 battery? If you look back at your post, you were asking where to buy the 1800 battery and squeezed between your question and thank you reply is someones link to the 1850 battery and not the 1800 link you were asking for. What I dont get is that if you already have a great working 1850 why would you want to buy a lesser 1800?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] us1111:
Hmmm.. Maybe it's time to get back on topic.. Does anyone have some usable experience with the Andida 1850 battery? I ordered mine last week, this will be my 3th spare battery as of then :)

Till now i'm using the cheap knock off batteries from E-bay and must say that their performance is not too bad! But i hope i'll get some more usage with the Andida though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GadgetCheck:
There is a simple answer to that last time when i odered a 1800mah battery i gt a 1850mah one... I just dont know why i gt a 1850 when i odered a 1800mah. (i thought i was lucky then)

But when i saw this post with the 1800mah in it i though well i will give this a shot, trying buying this too and see wether it also turns out to b a 1850mah one!

(now this will clarify wether or nt a 1800mah battery exists or not or wether its just the 1850mah with people messing around with the numbers! Confusing the 1850 as a 1800 )

Now what i am nt getting here is if a company is making a 1850 mah battery why should they b making a 1800mah with identical pricing (fishy) ?

I have odered the battery.lets see what i get i will surely post the pics ones it arrives and give it a review

I hope this answers ur question

Mine arrived today, very fast delivery i must say. When I've got the time for it, I will try to compare discharge times of the batteries by looping a HD movie.

Packaging is of good quality, it looks like a quality product in general. However looks don't bother me with this product, i hope it lives up to the expectations..

Attention !!!

Watch out these battery voltage : 3.7V

3.7 * 1800 -> 6.66 Wh

Stock :

4 * 1500 -> 6 Wh

So the difference is not 20% but only 10 %

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] profi208:
i'm still waiting for my battery to arrive.. should be here within this week.. seems like there's not much difference as compared to a stock battery for you..

on second thoughts.. your battery drain is quite high.. i'm doing better with the stock battery.. or is it performing worse than your stock battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lokhor:
CookieCrusher: how does that compare to your stock battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CookieCrusher:
On the 2nd full charge 1850 battery only lasted 7hrs with 2hrs of screen on lowest brightness...lots of music playing from sdcard with screen off....4 short phone calls....15minutes gaming.

What I noticed is that the discharge rate seems faster than stock bat. The 1850bat seems a bit lighter in weight than stock bat. So far my conclusion is that this bat is short life compare to stock after 2 full charges by around 1.5 hours
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CookieCrusher:
On 3rd fully charged....14 hours of battery life with 2 hours of screen on lowest brightness, 3g on full-time, played 1 album, few texts with no call or gaming

And the battery just under 12$ is a really good bargain!

And battery life on it is really good! Gives a good 2 to 3 hrs xtra than the stock one also not to mention that it is actually liter than the stock battery.

Have you ever thought why most of the times 3rd party batteries in all devices are lighter? Maybe the original manufacturer lacks the technology to make it as light?

I don't know, i hope your batteries keep their life to these levels for long time, though i doubt it.

Hi

I wake up and have an update-from-tmo message . The think is that I already have the OTA JI6. does anyone knows something about this?
[Vibrant General] ejamin73:
Anyone?..................
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
I haven't heard of any other update since J16.

Did you update manually to J16 or use the OTA?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, how did you update to JI6?

Install it and let us know if your firmware/baseband are the same.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I had Bionix 1.9, which already had the official OTA JI6 version. Still got the message T-Mo about the update, so I just updated it and everything seems fine. Didn't have any problems.
[Vibrant General] seanstoner:
I have a similar problem. I had the update message but didn't want to apply it since I read about all the horror stories. I manually updated to JI6 and baseband version, etc., all reflects this (as does media hub being unlocked, hd camcorder, GPS working, new sorted gallery and other fixes). However, I still have the damn notification that pops up constantly. How do I get rid of it??
[Vibrant General] ejamin73:
I 1st tried OTA but it got stuck on the vibrant screen so I odin the JI5 but ended up with the JI6. Don't ask me how. The odin files I have in my comp are the JI5. Another thing is that I was rooted when I OTA the JI6. Ended up with JI6 rooted
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
The second update failed. Phone stuck on oem recovery screen so I clicked home+power to see what was going on, and this is what I see.

Any thoughts? Obviously I just have to reinstall AmazonMP3.apk from Titanium Backup and the update should apply, but was wondering if this error might allow me to copy the update files from the sd card or something? I'm waiting to reboot the phone in case anyone has any bright ideas.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I can't find my backup of amazonmp3.apk. Can anyone send it to me? It needs to be in /system/

Awesome, thank you! Now how do I get install it to /system?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ripgut:
/system/app
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
When I go to the /system folder it's completely empty.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Mount /system first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Through terminal or adb? What exactly does the mount command do? I just installed adb last night and don't know how to use it yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
If you're using the Recovery, to add/remove the apps in /system you must first mount /system. To add/remove apps while the system is active you should use command (windows)/terminal (linux) to 'adb remount' and then you can 'adb push appname.apk /system/app'
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Got my popup for the 2nd update and tried those commands and it says "no device connected."

My phone and computer also don't seem to recognize each. Is it possible the update is disable usb debugging??

It won't let me remount! I'm doing with the system on because I can't figure out how to do it through recovery.

I'm getting:

remount failed: Operation not permitted.

If I try push it says "read only file system."

Now what??

I'm a total noooooooob at this, somebody give me a clue, lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You must have root access to modify anything in /system directory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I DO have root access, albeit on my oem Donut through Universal Androot. Rebooting in recovery and trying again yielded different results, but not quite success.

I finally used root explorer to copy the apk back to where it goes. Hopefully that's enough to satisfy the update check.

Hi there,

Before we begin, I know that there's a lot of attention at the moment for text-based clocks, etc. I use apps like TAJM, and appreciate what they bring to the Android community.

I'm a designer by trade, and really wanted to create something that would look nice on my homescreen...so I designed the following mock-ups:

All of the above is my own artwork, including the launcher pro docks and icons. However, it's just the clock that I want to bring to the table....here is what I'm thinking:

I'd like to see some kind of 'info' clock, with many customiseable options that the user that choose...so that they could personalise it the way they want it. The could have something like:

Large text-based clock with smaller battery stats underneath.

Numerical clock with battery stats.

Larger battery stats with small text or numerical clock underneath.

Large text-based clock with google calender events underneath (scraped from your synced calendar!)

...plus many, many other options.

What I'm looking for is a great, fast coder who can help me with this. I would carry out all the design work, be able to pass the Photoshop PSD files to you, and you carry out the code.

I am thinking that, initially, we create a small app which would be free. However, as the number of options grow, we COULD charge a small amount then splits the proceeds 50/50. I've not thought this thing through yet...but we can talk!

So, can anyone help? I want it to look GOOD, and I want it to be functional.

If you can help, either PM me here or grab me on teambeecham@googlemail.com

Thanks

Mike

[Android Apps and Games] mikebeecham:

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know which version of id3 tags does the music player sees ? I have tried to use version 2.3 but the music player just ignores it. I know that it also ignores version 2.4. I have also tried using mp3 tagger pro and while it seems to be a great program it did not make the music player see the right tags. What is strange is that it would be able to see some of the tags like artist but tags like genres, it will always ignore.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what version of id3 tags does the music player see or if there is any tagger app that will make the music player behave in terms of genres?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
