[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] whobeit:
I thought i would give an update if anyones interested.

had this item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290508113726 for about a week and can definitely recommend it.

I cant say exactly how much power there is from it as I've been testing a lot of new roms so I cant compare it to my original at the moment but it has easily been lasting all day and night with VERY heavy usage and its improving with each charge.

The cover fits good and feels more comfortable than the original.

The silicone cases are the original size only and don't fit with the extended battery cover, which is a bit stupid but they look crap anyway.

The charger is surprisingly good quality and has a charging light that changes colour when the battery is full.

The screen protectors were the biggest surprise of all, I wasn't interested in them when ordering as I don't use the cheap ones.

I have always used either Martin Fields or Zagg screen protectors for all my gadgets as other ones tend to scratch or unpeel easily.

These ones are actually the same quality as martin fields, same thickness, perfect fit, smooth and very clear, in fact maybe slightly clearer than the Martin Fields one I removed. It says on the listing only 1 screen protector but 3 were delivered.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Yeah,as my first post here shows I have the same 3500mah battery,I also have the Cameron Sino 3000mah and to me it seems the 3000mah actually lasts longer,but perhaps they havent been fully conditioned yet so cant be 100% sure.

However I much prefer the rubberised matt black back cover of the 3500mah one,I thought I could use that cover for my 3000mah battery,but the 3000mah is actually thicker than the 3500mah one and so doesnt fit if using that.

The 3000mah cover mine came with is all fat,and shiny black so more slippery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I also have the same 2 as you and the 3500mah one is absolutely pants! It lasts not much, if any, longer than the stock one but the 3000mah one is excellent, i was hoping the 3500mah cover would fit the 3000mah battery as i prefer that type of cover but as you mentioned it is too small. I am thinking of ordering another extended battery with the raised back type cover just so i can use the cover with the 3000mah battery but obviously i will have to get the dimensions of the new battery first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Lemme know when you get hold of the raised back cover that fits over the Cameron Sino 3000mah one.

BTW: There is also a 3000mah battery from the same company (it seems) that does that 3500mah one,I wouldnt bother with that one either incase anyone is interested. If you get a 3000mah one MAKE sure its the Cameron Sino one,as my post and padlad's post says,it defo seems to last..but this particular brand of 3500mah one maybe fake,or at least defo not 3500mah.

So again: padlad,what we need is the raised back cover type that can fit over the 3000mah Cameron Sino battery.:):)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
OK guys,now Ive used the 3500mah one a few times it DEFO doesnt seem to last much longer than the stock 1500mah one,though I havent done any actual tests,just with general use you may get a day or day and a half tops.

This particular brand also has 3000mah and 2800mah batteries,so I wouldnt trust them to be that actual capacity either,though the back covers actually are nice.

The 3000mah battery I have is Cameron Sino,and I can tell you,this one defo lasts longer.2 days at least,maybe more depending on your use.

So if you get a high capacity battery make sure you get the Cameron Sino brand,or the Mugen 3200mah one.(Mugen will cost you though).

DONT get these branded ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ethan200:
hi all, i looked here and found a lot of comment from all you kind reviews. After so many days and me being a 3 day old SGS 16gb user. can anyone tell me is the cameron sino 3000mah batt better, or the 3500 one?

See like i see mixed review so can anyone advice?? pls? TIA!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Sorry,short answer...Go with the Cameron Sino 3000mah,so if you can get that,then go for it.

I just got my battery of 3000 mAh from ebay. I need few days to see if it is good or not.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rofa1:
Got mine a couple of days ago after 4 weeks waiting - not the suppliers fault - down to the holidays and Deutsche Post. And yes it came with 3 screen protectors. It's about twice the rating of the standard battery according to Juice Plotter. Nice rubberised finish to the case and yes it is bulky but that is inevitable since the battery is about twice the thickness. Also adds about 25gm to the weight. I happen to like the grip it gives - particularly when using the camera. Interestingly it looks as if there is room for a dual sim card adaptor now - which would be very convenient since I spend about one month in one country and the next in another. It won't be a true dual sim phone but should go a long way towards it. I have ordered one and if it works I'll post a separate thread.

No...never !

I don´t like so big cases...!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] franktompson:
My so-called 3500 mah battery (from ebay; sent from China) is a complete waste of time. Power output is slightly less than the regular 1500mah Samsung battery.

I included negative feedback on the ebay site and the seller, who has no contact details, asked me to rescind it and he would send me another. I did that and await the new battery in the faint hope that I received a dud. I realise this is most unlikely, and if I don't receive the battery by the end of the month or it arrives and is just like the first one, I shall reinstate my original ebay comment.

Bottom line is - avoid like the plague!

So does anyone has a good experience with his/here replacement battery??!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
There is a new battery just released by momax at 2700mA, it comes either with a white or black cover, both glossy, the cover is a little thicker than samsung original ones, and has a fold in stand if you want to watch a film in landscape mode, from what i was told it last at least 2 days from ppl who has used it.

For more information google for momax or search ebay for momax.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I would like to read some solid reviews about that battery, I'm sick of wasting my money on Chinese crap, i have three extended batterys, a 3500mah and 2 x 3000mah and the only one worth mentioning is the Cameron Sino one which, to be honest, is very good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
Momax is a very reliable brand, they are well known worldwide, i'm sure many ppl in this forum have seen or used their batteries, i have used many of their batteries as a alternative to original ones due to high cost, momax as well as goki are one of the few which has pass many strict quality control, if its a must to use a third party brand batteries, its momax and goki, i dont trust any other brand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
I'm interested in this Momax 2700mah battery as well. $35 with free shipping on ebay now but I wanna know what the battery life is, and HOW much thicker the phone becomes with it installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
How do you guys measure if its really 2700mAH or 3500mAH regardless of just trusting the brand name ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
i was told about 2 day, but not too sure how this figure came from, and the cover is about 5mm thicker towards the battery section.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/momax-ex...for-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-2700mah-p27485.htm

edit:

from the info provide from the manufacture, it should last approximate just under twice that of the original samsung battery, but will depend on how you use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rofa1:
I use Juice Plotter - doesn't give an absolute value but you can directly compare with the standard battery. Run a video for a fixed time. If the new battery discharges at 5% per hour and the standard at 10% then one is twice the capacity of the other probably. To be sure I suppose you would strictly have to run from fully charged to fully discharged but----------
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
For a 720p its roughly 25% per 1hr and 30mins on a standard battery
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
My head is going around in circles deciding whether to buy the momax, my i9000 came with 2 batteries, and i hardly use the second one, infact i have never used it yet.

I have the power supply at work when i surf the net and check email.

Btw did most ppl on this forum get 2 batteries with their i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rofa1:
Do I understand correctly 25% after 90 mins? I don't know whether my videos are 720p - I've converted them to fit- But with my 3000mA/h battery the discharge is about 6% after 90 mins.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] HellBoyX2:
One thing i noticed is this battery needs to be externally charged using external charger. We cannot charge it using phone, because phone shows battery full and it gets cut off the power. But in actual the battery charging is not complete yet. any ideas how we can charge it using phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
have you purchased one, and tried it out, i'm sure this isn't the case.

if you are correct, i dont think it's that important for me, i have a desktop battery charger for the i9000 battery, so it should also charge the new momax.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Billus:
Ordered the Momox 2700mah battery for the Galaxy S today. Should be sent after the sixth being public holidays and all in Hong Kong. Will let you guys know how it goes after I get it. It looks nice judging from the pics and since my backplate is heavily damaged, I thought, why not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Yep,as I said earlier,DONT get these weird branded 3500mah ones,or I suspect the 3000 and 2800mah same branded ones too,if you get 3000mah MAKE sure its the Cameron Sino branded one.

Still,Im also gonna check out these Momax ones.

Please also let us know your opinions on it Billus.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
They do look interesting those Momax ones, but at treble the price of the cameron sino one i bought a while back, i am a bit reluctant to go for one especially as there are no reviews anywhere for it. But for sure if it turns out to be a good make i'll be getting one, so keep us informed Billius, cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
True,but if they are genuine 2700mah thats great,plus,check out the battery cover they come with,looks slick and also has a kick stand,very nice. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] achio1115:
It comes with a pretty decent leatherette pouch to go with it too.

I personally wouldn't go back to using the original battery. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
after days of decision, i finally went for it, and bought the white version of the momax 2700mah and the battery lid.

here are some of the photo's i took.

i can't actually give any results on the battery, but i can comment on the package.

the battery is made very good, as expected, as i have always gone for momax accessories, as oem one's are sometimes expensive, expecially samsung brand. As for the battery lid.

I compared it with the Cameron Sino one, and i liked the momax, unlike the Cameron Sino which the thickness is the same from top to bottom, and is like a brick, the momax one is about 5 mm thicker on the thickest part, that is near the battery, and it goes thinner towards the camera lens, I was told it was thicker than the original one, but to me, it's seems to be the same, the lid is well made and is 99.5% fit, so it's not perfect, the areas aroud the volume rocker, power button, headphone socket does have a slight rough edge, but is only visible if you look very closely, and the tiny clip or teeth that holds the battery lid to the main unit, are a little long, and thicker than the original, but with a small nail file, it will do a perfect job, and fits very well.

the case that came with the set looks like leather, but i dont think it is, it's well made with a ribbon that helps you pull the phone out of the case, as the phone fits in very tightly.

if there is anything i dont like about it, it's the kick out stand, i have a white i9000, the stand is glossy matalic black if you buy either the white or black set, and i wish it had a white version.

I'm sure many ppl who has purchased this set will be pleased.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pepeto2001:
Can you charge the momax battery using the original charger? How long does it take?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
you can charge it with a desktop charger or through the phone, I have both, but i like to do it through the phone.

charging through the phone with the original charger as i speak.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SXTN:
Hi,

I have a LiPo battery reconditioner at work and it allows you to see - upon full charge and discharge of the battery, the remaining amount of energy that the battery can store (mAh)

My results are as follows:

Samsung Stock Battery: 1322mah (after 3 months of use - charging every day)

"3500mah" ebay Battery: 2067mah (after 4 fills and discharges)

Samsung Stock Battery: 1401mah (brand new spare at home - never used apart from test)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rofa1:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sgyee:
I snagged a Cameron Sino 3000mAh battery used off of Craigslist. Seems that the person who bought it didn't like it. Sold it off for a song to me.

I'm in my third discharge cycle. So far, to drain it, I'm playing movies for 12 hours at full bright and sound on a loop, letting my kid play various games on it when we get home, then music until the thing shuts itself off. A bit under 18 hours of constant use on full brightness and overclock (using Tegra) at 1.2 gig.

The 3500mAh battery should be even far better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Maybe if they would be genuine 3500mah,but I very much doubt it.

I have the 3500mah and the Cameron Sino 3000mah is far better.

The 3500mah doesnt seem seem last much.if at all,longer than the stock 1500mah one.

The 3000mah Cameron Sino one on the other hand lasts noticably longer.

The 3500mah branded one also make a 3000 and 2800mah I believe,probably not good either.

My advice is if you go for a large capacity battery make sure its the Cameron Sino one. Or the Mugen or Momax ones. (Which are both more expensive than the Cameron Sino)

I still plan to try out the Momax one though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gschier:
I got the Momax one a few days ago. The battery is only 1.8 times the capacity of the stock battery, but so far it has more than doubled the battery life. I decided to write up a review of it if you want to know the details. Also note that the Momax one used to be close to $50, but now its listed at $35 everywhere. The sales must be doing better.

Also, the Momax one doesn't block the camera in any way. I was thinking of ordering the Cameron Sino one (since it's pretty cheap) and doing a comparison but haven't ordered one yet.:confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
The only thing with the Cameron Sino one is the battery cover is fat all the way,so the phone does end up quite fat.

Those 3500mah batteries are actually slightly thinner than the 3000mah Cameron Sino one's so dont look as fat,as also the battery cover is thinner up top then goes a bit fatter at the bottom,as well as being that rubberised plastic,nice to hold.

So since they are thinner unfortunately you cant use that battery cover with the Cameron Sino battery,to bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jooboo:
is it possible to buy a bigger batt then stock? but not be bigger in size?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jooboo:
Guess not...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] =Oberon=:
Yes,well maybe,there are 1600,1800,and 1900mah batteries available (same size as stock 1500mah ones) though whether they are actually that true capacity is another thing.

Well,the 1600mah Im talking about is the Mugen brand,that does seem genuine as its quite pricey.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MrDuese:
my experience with this "powerpacks" isnt that well...

they are unsafe and often not even stronger than original with half capacity...

maybe u will notice some more power for 2 or 3 months, but the akku will start to destroy itself because of bad products used inside the battery which can not prevent failure or over voltage ...

i would stick to original, it looks much better anyway

Check out GCstar for the desktop and GCstar Viewer for android (in the market)

Gcstar is a cross platform collections management tool. It imports and exports loads of formats. Works for games and books and whatever it us you collect. Currently the android app is just a viewer. I hope it gets some love as an input device soon...
[Captivate General] mrwoofus:
I use Movie Collector from Collectorz.com

I had the iPhone version of it for a few years and recently switched to the Android version. It has a desktop app that you can scan barcodes into and then the phone app that you can sync your collection to.

You can't scan the barcodes with the phone yet, but they say that they plan to add that feature.
[Captivate General] screwyluie:
although lacking the scan feature, otherwise this will work great, the fact I can enter the name and it will search all the other details makes it almost as easy as a barcode scanner anyways.

I could use some help figuring out how the csv import feature works... other then that, I thank you much for the input guys
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
Did you sort out your CSV issues...

I notice that the default separator is a semicolon when I open the importer. If you have a bunch of data in a comma separated file then you should change the semicolon to a comma. Also, you have to make the appropriate adjustments to the "fields to be imported" to let it know what is what.
