I saw a post of someone doing a battery test in the captivate forum. The user also got a 1800 mah battery but it ended up being a ~1250 mah battery. Kind of wandering if its the same thing here since from the results here, the 1800 battery lasted less than the stock.
[Nexus S Accessories] B3arfruit:
Next time do test them make a post.....you might save people some money

Believers b3ar fruit with their Nexus S.....:)
[Nexus S Accessories] spacemanspiff33:
Slightly OT.....I picked up 2 'good' 1450mah chinese batteries when I was in Hong Kong (Believe it or not, there is a huge variance of quality when it comes to the chinese factories, some of them are in fact quite good) and they've been giving me pretty much identical performance to the stock batteries. In fact I can't even tell which battery is in there 99% of the time. As soon as I get home, I remove whatever battery is inside, and pop it in the charger, replacing it with battery from said charger. As well I always have the 3rd battery fully charged in my pocket for extended periods away from home, but with this 1 charging 1 using system, I've had to use that second battery like.......2wice......basically what I am saying is 2 cheap batteries and a charger will do you no harm

Beauty of this is I couldnt give a hoot about battery life now, I run my phone guns blazing all day, full screen brightness, gps on, wifi on, 3g on, woooooooooo good times without a care in the world :)
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
Yikes! I should have waited on ordering some.

If these are crappy batteries, I'd encourage everyone to rate the seller and the product poorly on eBay so we can warn off other users at least. :mad:
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
YUP!!! I agree.

Rate poor and state that these are not 1850 mAh...
[Nexus S Accessories] Ayesuku:
Okay, I've had these exact batteries for a week or so now. My experience is this.

Are they 1850mah? Definitely not. They're probably right at either 1400 or 1450 mah. The battery life is just slightly less than the stock battery.

But, these actually are decent batteries. If you want spares, they're perfect and cheap. And the best part of the deal is the charger. You can charge any of your batteries outside the phone, which makes using spares a lot more practical. The charger also has a USB port on it for charging the phone at the same time.

So, basically, they're not extended, but they're actually a great value if you don't mind having spares and an awesome charger for them. I believe it's worth the $17, even if it's not what I hoped for.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
I completely agree

because if you think about it, going by the rates from Amazon (mentioned on the other topic) for example $7 a piece per battery

ordering 2 will already add up to $14

so you are only paying like $4 extra for the charger

and free shipping for all of it

while on Amazon you need to pay for shipping ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
The seller still deserves poor ratings because they are engaged in FALSE ADVERTISING.

It doesn't matter how good a deal they are even if they are 1400mah, because some people may have chosen not to purchase them if they knew they weren't the 1850 being advertised. I'm not sure I would have bothered with them...

If the seller says I'm buying 1850, I expect to receive 1850, not 1400.

What if someone advertised a Nexus S and dock for $400 and you bought it, but then they shipped you a Vibrant and dock instead? The Vibrant's a great phone, and at $400 still a good price, but I suspect you'd not be happy... Larger scale, but the same concept.

Anyways, I'm jumping the gun a bit, since I haven't received mine, but I wish the praises these thing had gotten had been turned to the critiques a bit sooner. :eek:
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
i completely agree with this point as well

[Nexus S Accessories] hah2110:
Isn't there an ADB command that will tell you the current MAh? I thought logcat did it on the NS.
[Nexus S Accessories] AndroidMilos:
Well, I bought and tried those 1850 batteries and they do NOT last as long as the stock Nexus S batteries. So I tend to agree that they are probably 1400 Mah batteries rather than the 1850 rating on Ebay.
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
Could it be the phone is just not charging them all the way, my evo does that making all extended batteries useless unless u flash a SBC kernel
[Nexus S Accessories] RinTinTigger:
STOP BUYING THIS ITEM!!!

I ripped off the yellow sticker and a 1150mAh battery stamp was on it. also those batterys are not even lasting the HALF of the stock ones.

its a SCAM. give bad feedback and report to ebay!
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
Awww man... this sucks!

I bought some and haven't received them.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
wow! :eek:, lets all get a paypal refund!

open a complain ticket to eBay & paypal

already submitted my ticket
[Nexus S Accessories] RinTinTigger:
i did both ...paypal and ebay, also contacted the company too
[Nexus S Accessories] willverduzco:
I received mine, and as expected, they do not deliver. I sent a message to the seller requesting a return, with return shipping paid for due to the mis-advertisement.
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
AllGamer, did you confirm yours are 1150 as well by pulling up the label like the other guy did?
[Nexus S Accessories] mariusz712:
thank you for reporting this!
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
you can actually see through the sticker, you'll see 1150

only the mAh is obfuscated by the printed text on the sticker

Read that. It appears your batteries aren't actually 1850mAh. I still haven't received them.

[Nexus S Accessories] johoja:
I applied for a refund from PayPal yesterday ($10 refund out of the 17$, he did send 2 batteries and a charger so I don't want to be a total ass).

The seller accepted, and I've gotten the refund today.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
this is what i got
[Nexus S Accessories] RinTinTigger:
Just be agressive. i was fully refunded!

a paypal report is what they fear ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] leonardopires:
refund

i refunded $12 and i`ll receive the 2 battery and charger
[Nexus S Accessories] Moshie07:
Any pictures with the battery in and stock battery cover on?
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
I just got the same form letter, offer for partial refund from the seller...and I haven't even received the batteries yet! LOL. I had contacted them and basically said WTF? up with all the reports of them being fakes.

They're scammers and they know they've been caught.

I'm going to hold out for a full refund. Just because you sent me something that isn't what you advertised doesn't mean you're entitled to some of my money anyways...
[Nexus S Accessories] RinTinTigger:
you dont need. battery fits 100%
[Nexus S Accessories] Moshie07:
Sweet, might consider picking one up if the battery usage boost is significant
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
Wow! You clearly didn't read any of the posts in this thread...if you had, you'd know that these are fake batteries that are only 1100mah with a sticker that says 1850 pasted over them, and that they don't last even as long as the stock batteries. :eek:
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
HAHAHA! He didn't read.
[Nexus S Accessories] willverduzco:
Is anyone else having a hard time getting his/her refund? The seller already agreed to give me a partial refund five days ago, but I still haven't gotten it.
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:

This guy claimed he refunded my money and haven't received anything. I responded to him a few times tellling him I didn't receive anything but he stop replying back. :mad:
[Nexus S Accessories] NexusRyan:

[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:

[Nexus S Accessories] Teknojunkee:
I fell for this also. Just received my package this morning. I pulled off the label and found the same thing. 1150. Guess I will be joining the masses in trying to get a refund. He has been in contact with me for the past few days. I will pretend nothing is wrong and reel him in tomorrow.
[Nexus S Accessories] ryan562:
report his asss with the pictures of the fake battery labels to ebay. give him the negative comments he/she deserves.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
i got $10.00 back, and keep the charger + batteries

getting a full refund will need to send back in all the stuff +shipping cost... it'll cost more than the original price. LOL :p
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
That's just wrong. I know the logic, but it's silly that these people get to keep any money at all.

I can understand that if you want to return an item that was AS DESCRIBED that the buyer must pay shipping, but if I ask to buy apples and you send me oranges, that's your problem on getting the oranges shipped back Mr. Seller. I want a full refund or a replacement with the apples being actually apples.

Mine still haven't arrived actually; I wonder if they even shipped them.

I used my American Express via paypal to pay for this. If the seller or paypal won't fully refund me, I think I'll just complain to American Express; they're very good about this kind of crap.
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I escalated this to Ebay.... He shouldn't be doing this.

I have no need for two cheap ass batteries.

File an Ebay report if he is not responding to you guys.... you'll get a reply really fast.

And I agree with distortedloop... the seller is at fault. I ordered 1850 not 1150...
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
Final decision:

Neither you or the seller were found at the fault.

eBay Customer Support comments:

"You will be issued a refund."

--------------------------------

That's what I got....a FULL refund, some cheap ass batteries for free, and THE SELLER ISN'T AT FAULT?????

Don't accept partial, escalate to Ebay, and you will get full refund and be able to keep the batteries. Copy and paste this thread on your complaints.

Hope this helps some of you guys. Thank me if it does. ;-)
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
It's not too far-fetched that the seller wasn't aware they were fakes. Considering the volume and variety of products they sell, I would assume they just bought a bunch of the things from a supplier and were selling them as labelled. Just because a company is based in China doesn't mean it's incapable of acting in good faith. There's a good chance they were cheated, too.

I thanked you, but only because the Thank button is right next to the Quote button and I'm tired. So enjoy. >.>
[Nexus S Accessories] RinTinTigger:
As i only can tell again, I WAS FULLY REFUNDED AND KEPT THE STUFF (which i wasted)

Just insist on your right. Dont care what his problems are.
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
Dude, if the seller was cheated by their supplier, that's between them and their supplier. It's not my problem, it's theirs. I don't care if it's a Chinese, US, or European company. The reason there are so many scams and false advertisers out there is because the vast majority of the people sit back and take it.

But, I'll tell ya what...Let's make a deal. I got some 1850mah extended batteries and a charger to sell. Wanna buy them? $19.95. I bought them in good faith from my supplier, I'm sure they're just fine. I won't stand behind them 100% if you find otherwise, though. If you're interested, hit the donate button in my name link and put batteries and your address in the comments/instructions. :eek:
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
You're taking me out of context. I'm not saying people who bought the things aren't entitled to a refund. I'm saying that from eBay's perspective, if the seller was unaware the batteries were fakes and has acted to remedy the situation since discovering they are, they are not guilty of perpetrating a scam and should not be treated as if they are. As a seller they are still responsible for what they sell- thus the refunds- but some posters here seem prepared to label them criminals out of hand, and while that's not necessarily untrue, I've read no solid evidence to support it so far.
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
Ah, I misunderstood your point.

We're on the same page.

Back in the day, the early days of ebay, when I was in the business of selling stuff over it, I always checked sample lots from my suppliers before selling the stuff. They may not be crooks, but they're certainly not responsible merchants, and they should be down-rated for that.
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
Indeed. I've bought on eBay before, but I've generally found selling to be too much of a pain in the ass. Just creating a listing is a minefield of coding and fees. I prefer Amazon. They rape you on commissions, but it's so much easier.
[Nexus S Accessories] llcooljazz:
Couldn't see it mentioned - but I know Seidio do an extended battery for the Nexus S.

But I don't think it's a huge increase in mAh.

Seidio Extended Nexus S battery
[Nexus S Accessories] Teknojunkee:
Was contacted early this morning by the seller. Asking if I agree to a refund and keep the items. Of course, I agree.

Lets see how long it takes to receive.
[Nexus S Accessories] dudeimgeorge:
Horrible but kinda cool in the long run (read why)

So yeah, i immediatley purchased these the moment i saw the OG's stuff talking about it..which now im beginning to think was a scam to begin with (OG included)

recieved them last week, stickers on them are a joke, simply stripped them off and saw a metal imprint on the much lower battery life. in a rage I rapid fired at pay pal....got the partial refund request....raged again..got the full request.

so state that this is misleading, going to to complain on all corners, yadda yadda..

good part is, now i got 2 **** emergency batteries and a wall charger for free...do yourself the favor and buy the 1450mahs for 7 bucks with a wall charger...(which had no tracking number so i made believe i never got it and got a refund IM A SCUMBAG..but come on dude..so is these questionable businesses)

i basically have an excessive amount of batteries now for free hahaha.
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
So, has everyone who got tricked by these batteries received them yet? Confirmed that they are indeed fakes? Gotten your refund yet?

I got my batteries on Monday, same crap as others (1160 with a yellow sticker on top).

Filed and ebay complaint, demanded full refund. Seller had offered partial refund before I filed the complaint, but after filing the complaint says they can't refund because we're in the complaint process and that I should cancel my complaint and they promise to refund (but don't specify full or partial).

I'm not too familiar with eBay's protection, if I cancel the case and the seller doesn't follow through as promised, can I re-open it?

edit: apparently you can't re-open it; I just looked at the close this case option in eBay, it clearly says you can't. Hmmm...trust these guys or not?
[Nexus S Accessories] ejohnson0547:
Yeah thats a good idea. Trust these guys who are clearly and deliberately scamming everyone...

Not a good idea in my opinion.
[Nexus S Accessories] blaze10:
Don't trust them. I received a partial refund of $10, so I paid $8 for a wallcharger. My batteries were 1000 mAh. Both already dead after 10 days in use.

You may receive the money back from eBay protection. I just left negative feedback and they asked me about the reason. $8 for wallcharger, common!?
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
wow!, what did you do to the batteries?

i'm still using them on a daily basis, no issues with the batteries, they just lasts 2 hours less than the stock

i got my refund already as mentioned several post back
[Nexus S Accessories] Fuse8499:
I got my batteries yesterday. THEY DON'T EVEN WORK!!!! I charged both of them with the included wall charger. I legit had to FORCE the battery into my phone. It was a very tight fit. Phone wouldn't power on at all. Never again!!!

This is why I steer away from eBay. Unless I am buying something like car parts, server rackmount rails, etc from known reputable sellers.

Slightly off topic, but is for those of you who are swapping batteries (whether 1850 mAh or not) on a daily basis, are you seeing any abnormal wear on the battery cover? Thx

Hey there,

I haven't got my Samsung i897 Captivate yet (I live in the Netherlands and bought 1 via eBay from the USA) , but I'm already looking things up like how to get froyo 2.2 and disabling AT&T etc.

I know the Dutch(Nederlands) language isn't available as OS language , but I was wondering if I can still install this via the ANDROID Market or with a tweak? I know the Galaxy i9000 and the Galaxy i9010 both have the Dutch language as operating system...

Thanks in advantage!
