or just get bigger battery..lol

my seidio 3500 mAh last forever... with everything on.. and brightness all the way up..

I modded the battery to fit behind the htc oem extended battery door..<----which matches the hero.. and is not a piece of cheap junk like the seidio door..
[Hero CDMA General] confusedfish:
I was thinking about that one, so I assume you give it a good review? Mind running over in short, how you made it fit behind the oem door?
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Yeeeees. *taps fingers together* I would like to know too.
[Click General] syklitengutt:
Hi.

I had my phone off and when I looked at it the screen was frozen at the white htc screen, and really really hot, so I pulled the battery.

When I tried to turn it on again, it went out off power.

When I turned it on again it had cleaned out everything.

It was like a factory reset.

So I tried to get into marked to start download some progs, it opens the browser and the marked rules and agreements, but I cant press anything to approve.

So all I can do is to press back and then im back on the htc desk.

When I try to open the market again the same thing happens.

I have tried a new factory reset, and I have wiped marked stats, but nothing helps.

Any ideas?
[Click General] wormix500:
hope you have nandroid or clockworkmod running... if so, just restore the latest backup...

otherwise you could try to check the patched market, that's also mentioned and linked in the thread posted above... the installation-description is part of the other thread...

if this doesn't work, try a new rom, for example on 2.3-base... i'm using also nfinity 0.93 on my tattoo and it's working pretty good...

for each of above mentioned possibilities you need nandroid, clockworkmod or rather rommanager (try to get the rommanager-apk via google, androidpit, appaware or somewhere) and install it on your phone... this provides an easy way to install clockorkmod and backup, restore your phone, try new roms, etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgi0wn:
Does anyone know what changed exactly with the charging from 2.1 to 2.2? I know HTC made it charge slower so that it wouldn't over heat because for some stupid reason it still runs off the battery while charging. Anyways, is there a way to change it back so that it can charge much quicker like it used to, because now when its plugged in it charges extremely slowly while I'm on it and sometimes loses battery still. Is it possible to mod it so that it will draw its power from the external source and charge the battery quicker as well? Thanks!!

try rmk's new kernel..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
Can anyone confirm this kernel charges faster? I may consider a 1500ma batt, I don't really a larger batt, but format I may wish I did.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Uh, what?

Use rmk's new HTC kernel. It charges like 1% a minute. Super fast. Also, slower battery drain.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
Thanks, Great detail.

I was meaning to say, a larger battery will take longer to charge.. so faster charging would be of interest.
[Fascinate General] jjalhjy:
Hi all, I just downloaded one of the battery widgets from the market, and as soon as when I set up my brightness to 0 from the widget, screen went black. I still hear incoming calls and the notification sounds but nothing actually appears on the screen. I tried the hardreset (volume buttons + power), and odin3 system recovery, didn't fix the problem. I know this is not a screen damaged issue because the booting animation still plays... So does anyone know how to change my brightness settings using odin3? Or any solutions?

Thank you.
[Fascinate General] dnoyeb:
If you have usb debugging turned on, adb to it and rm the apk of the app you installed and reboot

Or if rooted, go in through adb via recovery
[Fascinate General] jjalhjy:
I don't have debugging mode on nor the phone is rooted. This is annoying.. :mad:
[Fascinate General] nitroxeno:
I would try to use ODIN to install clockwork recovery. Then adb to the phone and do this:

$ ./adb -d shell

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

sqlite> update system set value=255 where name='screen_brightness';

sqlite> .exit

# reboot
[Fascinate General] jjalhjy:
is my phone need to be rooted to perform those steps?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
U r screwed. Not to be a **** bit likely if Odin won't fix it u will have to take it all the way back.
[Fascinate General] dnoyeb:
anyone notice that the adb command sqlite3 doesn't seem to exist on our fascinates? I swear I used it by default on my droid inc, but then again I was running custom roms... is that command just not on the fascinate?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Good calk forgot all about clockwork with Odin. Good save
[Fascinate General] mailaliasgar:
What about a hard reset?
[Fascinate General] s44:
There should be a sticky about this.

WHITE Plastic Battery Back Cover For SamSung i9000 UK
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Yea but when I go to checkout it wont let me choose US...I sent em an email to see waz up....
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
I'd get the white one & the blue one if they ship to the us...
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
Are i9000 backplates identical to the Vibrant's?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
shooot id buy an orange and a white one.
[Vibrant Accessories] dnguyen1988:
There's another thread about i9000 backplates and they said that they do fit
[Vibrant Accessories] umarism:
Chill out, guy. If you happened to read his shipping details, or try to actually order, you'd realize there are no shipping options for the US. Worldwide delivery pertains to Canada and Europe.

Also, I sent the buyer a message about possibly shipping to the US and he never got back to me =\ Hopefully if more people ask him about it, he'll make it an option.
[Vibrant Accessories] krazykuban305:
I also asked the guy but no reply yet :(
[Vibrant Accessories] imperativebirdman:
Eye roll

I love the OP's eye roll about not clicking the link. Obviously, the OP didn't click the link either, since the ebay seller clearly says: "Post to: Europe, Canada". Do you see US listed there? Nope.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Okay he replied and added U.S now so we can all order now its about $11.00 I just ordered my white one.....

there are a few sites out there. i just did a quick google search. this is one of the links that came up.
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
Those are cases, sweetie. This thread is about battery doors.

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Battery doors not cases...there's a lot of cases everywhere....I ordered a white battery cover like the japan Vibrant....
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
you know you guys are on the ebay UK site, right?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140466568703

also, i spent 5 more seconds on the ebay ad and clicked "more information" and saw this.
[Vibrant Accessories] Bernardos70:
I wish there was a metal (or partial metal, so as to not interfere with the reception) back plate, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. I love how thin the Vibrant is, I don't want to add a case to it.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Yea I ordered the white one ill let ya know when I get it hopefully this week...
[Vibrant Accessories] eortizr:
if you take your actual batt cover and look inside on the bottom you'll see the i9000 engraved in the plastic, at least mine does
[Vibrant Accessories] Genestar80:
+1
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
haha sure enough it is engraved in there.
[Vibrant Accessories] cancermeetscorpio:
It must be made in China. Somebody check the distributor.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
JOC, why would it matter? I am pretty sure our phones were made in China..
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I think he's saying we can get them shipped from China rather than uk.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
Oh.. Okay, gotcha now :)
[Vibrant Accessories] xplanowestx:
Hopefully these would fit our phone correctly... I would be getting a white one :)
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Im waiting on mine it should come next week i'll keep yall posted and take some pics....
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
did you have to sign up with UK ebay or does your reg ebay account work? I tried but didnt work for me dont know if im doing anything wrong..... :mad:
[Vibrant Accessories] tructo:
So did anyone receive it yet? I want to know the outcome b4 I order it. Thnx in advance
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
I didnt have to sign up i the same ebay just depends on the color u choose he will have to add U.S shipping to that particular item....

I still havent received mine yet im hoping it comes this week sometimes Im really desperate for mine cant wait...
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
dude, really?

i posted the link to the auction on the US ebay site.
[Vibrant Accessories] djdiablo:
Just got my back plate in today.....got the candy blue one...it's AWESOME!!

Fit and finish is VERY GOOD.....there is a small hairline gap on one side but I tested it with the stock cover and it was the same so my phone is slightly warped..lol

The plastic itself is very sturdy, not as thick as the stock one but still very strong. The paint finish is very nice and thick, and aside from a few very tiny paint bubbles it is perfect.

When snapping the cover on or off it is very tight, has a great solid feel, even tighter than the stock one.

All buttons are EASILY accessible just like stock, and phone strap hole is there too.

As far as it being a fingerprint magnet, it is pretty much the same as stock...but looks a WHOLE LOT SEXIER, even with fingerprints!

On to the pics!

Overall I am VERY HAPPY with this case and I highly recommend it!!

:)
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
That is really nice...I like the look I still can't believe i haven't received mine yet...How long did it take for u to get it?
[Vibrant Accessories] tructo:
Cool I been order it. Just waiting for it
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
Is the feel of plastic the same as stock or is it like rubberized or something ?
[Vibrant Accessories] djdiablo:
Took about 2 weeks to get here....and I'm in Hawaii....you should be getting yours soon.....

As for the feel, it is not rubberized...it is plastic just like the stock....very solid feel.
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
sucks for me. i dont care about colors, i just cant stand how slippery the stock cover is.
[Vibrant Accessories] JoeSkeen:
At least we can start doing more experimenting on these, now that we know we can buy them cheap enough. Different textured paints and such.

Hell, maybe I'll mask one off and such to make the Van Halen design! :D
[Vibrant Accessories] caldjeff:
Agree...I'm more concerned about grip. This phone is a bar of soap when trying to manage with one hand. I tried the Plasti-Dip coating, but it just keeps peeling off from the edges. I just want a nice back that feels like my G1. Can't stand all these cases that make this sexy phone all fat and linty and rubbery to the point that I can't get it out of my pocket.
[Vibrant Accessories] a4 moda:
Agreed. Plastidip may work better if you sand the surface and usea light coat of primer.
[Vibrant Accessories] ionic7:
I just painted my old spare back with krylon fusion white and krylon fusion clearcoat, it does not feel that slippery as compared to the stock one.
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
I asked about a metal back-cover for the Vibrant:

I encourage you all to ask the same: info@cnn.cn

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] superchi:
I ordered a white one, hopefully it's nice
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
I noticed this: "Lightweight, strong ABS plastic coated with soft water-proof rubber

i was told this is pretty much the same as stock cover and not rubberized....is above pretty much bs ?
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
just emailed.
[Vibrant Accessories] bdroc:
rubberized

there is a vendor on ebay that sells all sorts of these things...including rubberized ones

i think the rubberized cases are much less cheap feeling than glossy plastic, but thats just me

that particular vendor has like 20 different models of all different colors...except white oddly enough, i wish i could just post a link but i cant cause im new here...the ebay store is called "james style"...if you search for "samsung galaxy s battery door" its in the list somewhere

it says i-9000, but so does the battery cover thats on my phone right now, so im assuming they are the same as the vibrant
[Vibrant Accessories] betasp:
I ordered a white cover today. I'll post pics when it comes in.
[Vibrant Accessories] JoePR31:
This seems to be exactly what I've been looking for! I just ordered one. I just hope its rubberized, like the seller claims that it is. He has very good photos posted on the item page and it does look rubberized.

FYI to all - searching for "james style" in ebay didn't pull up anything relevant, but seraching for "samsung galaxy s battery door" did. One of the top search results is the black rubberized batt cover. The vendors name, "James", appears as a stylized logo in the top left corner of the correct search result.
[Vibrant Accessories] hukkguai:
Actually, my Vibrant box says it was made in Korea. :p
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Cant wait to see some more colors as people get theirs in.
[Vibrant Accessories] superchi:
Still waiting on mine...says shipped 9 days ago

EDIT:

Got mine today, took about 10 days from the time they emailed me that they shipped it. Not unreasonable given that it is shipped from Europe. The awesome thing is that they sent me two by mistake, so now I've got an extra :)

My thoughts about it are the same as what djdiablo posted about his blue one; the case fits just about the same as the factory one and looks just as good. The only flaws I could find on mine were very small air bubbles in the clear coat on the edges of the cover, and those are barely noticeable.
[Vibrant Accessories] nraudigy2:
Wow that white one looks nice too.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I just bought one also but i wont share the link as i was warned by a mod not to share ebay links.........
[Vibrant Accessories] splat matt:
A back cover tha is made of metal will seriously degrade your signal. Phones that have metal backs generally position their antennas in a way so the metal doesn't block the signal.
[Vibrant Accessories] ElGuapo361:
Just received a black plastic cover from Hong Kong. It is a smooth soft touch plastic, very much the same feel as my CaseMate Barely There case. So far I like it. I've loved the Barely There case, which gave it just a hair more to hold on to.

I'll test drive it with just this new cover to see how it feels in the long run. It is weird having the phone so absolutely slim now, but not as slippery as stock. I have fairly large hands, so we'll see if I am more prone to dropping it more now vs with the Barely There case on it
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
As Bernardos70 mentioned, it could be designed to avoid degradation of the signal.

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
can u explain the feeling of the battery cover? is it rubberized? can u pm ne the eBay link as well.
[Vibrant Accessories] bdroc:
rubberized from ebay

I got mine too, its rubberized like those cheapo cases on amazon...it fits so snugly and actually seems to remove any creaking i had on the trim with my stock plate...the phone also looks slimmer and feels a lot less cheap and toyish...id recommend it
[Vibrant Accessories] gunks:
Can you post the link to the one you bought? Cant seem to find it. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
+1!!! I really like that one.
[Vibrant Accessories] bdroc:
Rubberized Battery Door

the guy that sells them sells a bunch of colors...though i think the black one is the only rubberized one
[Vibrant Accessories] ElGuapo361:
I tried to get a couple shots showing the texture. I've since put the Barely There case back on. I found the phone was just a bit too thin in my hand, and I missed the indents for the volume and sleep buttons. Simply personal preference. Overall though, the battery cover is a nice replacement for stock.
[Vibrant Accessories] Lakers3408:

white rubberized =) dont forget to hit the THANKS button.

i just ordered mine on 11/28 and still waiting for it as its coming from Hong Kong
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
I ordered mine on 12/02 and I am also waiting...
[Vibrant Accessories] superchi:
Damn, wish I knew sooner about this one. I really like the rubberized rear cover like the one on my super old HTC Shadow from way back when.
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
does "Super hand touching" in the description mean soft-touch, non-slip or rubberized? Both james_irenequ link and phone_au link use this same terminology.

Could someone who has ordered from Fonemaster_UK link update us on the product, which is described as "feels soft in your hands" and "strong ABS plastic coated with soft water-proof rubber"

Main thing I want is a non-slip, soft touch battery cover.
[Vibrant Accessories] superchi:
Check out my post #52, mine was the exact ad as the one you linked, but it is not rubberized on the back. It looks/feels like the OEM.
[Vibrant Accessories] INeFFeCTiVE:
Check this one out. http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48569 supposed to be aluminum and plastic...
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
thanks. So Fonemaster_UK is NOT soft-touch but similar to the slippy OEM cover. Must say his description is misleading.

So that leaves "Super hand touching" from james_irenequ link or phone_au link .

Update.

Ordered a black case from phone_au. Will let you guys know when I get it. Also ordered the aluminum and plastic posted above.
[Vibrant Accessories] tjsynkral:
I'm still waiting for one with a kickstand...
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
just received the white rubberized today...all I can say is...CRAP. lol they basically painted it and ther.e's dust particles embedded -_- plus the white rubber is coming off or just getting really dirt at tthe edges. I am so going to ask for a refund. I didn't even want rubberized. I asked if the battery cover was glossy plastic or rubberized...they just said plastic so yea...so hard trying to communicate with chinese sellers
[Vibrant Accessories] superchi:
Whoop good thing I didn't buy one
[Vibrant Accessories] gonintendo:
bought one from james_irenequ and one from phone_au. (wanted two, so i figured why not, just in case one is bogus) I will update when i get them.
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
the black one seems better since it wouldnt show the dirt,but white..ugh... the seller didnt even tell me that it was rubberized. he just said "plastic" after i asked him if the battery door was glossy plastic or rubberized touch
[Vibrant Accessories] cizan:
Yup, I ordered one too and its horrible. (rubberized)
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
what color? it seems like the black one would be the only decent one. i wish i shelled out more money for the glossy ones
[Vibrant Accessories] mp2ning:
This is the red one from ebay seller phone_au in case anyone wanted to see it. The fit is perfect.
[Vibrant Accessories] gonintendo:
what shade of red is that? the one on his ebay page looks more pink-ish to me. is it a good shade of red or should i just stick with the black?
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
i take it back... the white rubberized soft touch is starting to grow on me...i love it...,but what really annoys me is how dirty it gets on the edges and the poort paintjob. theres dust particles in the paint.
[Vibrant Accessories] mp2ning:
Yeah the picture on ebay is more pink-ish than the actual item. I had that same concern but I really like how it looks. Now I will order white and the blue and see how they look!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] gonintendo:
Thanks!
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
This isn't a battery plate, as the topic of this thread mentions, but I am going to order one. Will report back on the effects on signal.

I ordered the white rubberized back, from b_ventura's link, too (before reading some less-than-stellar reviews) - I hope it doesn't suck too bad.

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
Is this cover described as "super hand touching" Could you describe how it feels?

I ordered the black "super hand touching" cover from au_phone, just hoping it's rubberized and fits as tight as your's, which looks great.
[Vibrant Accessories] christpuncher:
Got my black rubberized that I ordered from james. Looks and feels great. Makes the phone a lot less slippery.
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
Oh, and they make it in other colors:

(Silver): http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48571

(Blue): http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48570

Original link is black.

I wish I had seen the other colors, but black is still cool.

[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
That isn't even a battery cover. That is just a case.

Which is exactly what I posted a couple lines up....

But they are still interesting options.

PS: BIG SIG much?
[Vibrant Accessories] BaoQ:
Is there any squeaking sound on some of this covers?

I hate the stock one so muchhhh!!!!

Even gripping it a little bit, I could hear the sqeaking...
[Vibrant Accessories] gonintendo:
Idk if this is too much to ask, but could someone that has their matte cover post a video up up on youtube going over

-the feel of the product

-creak/squeakiness

-quality / longevity (has it started to peel yet?)
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
the white matte rubberized battery cover is pure crap. the paint job is starting to crack and doesnt fit perfectly.. it does creak and squeak. i went back to my OEM blk/turquoise and got a sweet refund =)

im pretty sure you can try it out and then ask for a refund... a lot of chinese sellers dont mind giving you refunds.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
*Black*

-Feel: Amazing! So much better then stock.. Worth the $7 I paid

-Squeak: Absolutely NONE. My stock battery cover had some though...

-Quality: It feels pretty solid.. Doesn't seem like it would break easlily

-Downside: It does get finger prints easily (Black Version)
[Vibrant Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
awe looks like you got a good batch. =\ the paint job on mine is starting to crack and left side doesnt fit snuggly...
[Vibrant Accessories] holiday5804:
I have the white rubberized cover that I got from hauqiangbei-shop on ebay. It fits perfect, no squeeks, but you can tell the paint is done cheap. the black case is starting to show through the white paint on some of the edges and on the back hump but I don't have any paint cracking. It is way better for grip, haven't dropped my phone since I've put it on so for me the positives outweigh the negatives. Plus, for 4.99 with free shipping and only 8 days shipping time from hong kong to MN I can't complain.
[Vibrant Accessories] gonintendo:
