upper right corner. i spoke to a sprint rep today apparently it's an after launch item for sure. and sprint might not even carry it initially may be exclusively through htc online for first couple months.

did you notice the back cover below it has an apple in the middle of it... Just thought it was kinda funny. Im holdin out for powermat to come out with there induction batteries.

Thanks I was actually looking for more information regarding this exact case. I totally overlooked it when I looked through that gallery. I was thinking about holding off for that case but may go with a normal pouch. I liked the fact that it seemed to be an all-in-one. Protects, Charges, Holster, and Kickstand. Based on the mock photo however I prefer the Evo's own kickstand as the clip being used as a stand defeats the point of placing it horizontally and it covers the default one. Also not sure whats going to charge the phone, I'm assuming a powermat though as sprint sells them in store. Guess I'll have to wait for more information on it.

i think its more like a battery case like the one for the iphone

I spoke with Mophie regarding a product for the EVO and they replied they make cases for Apple products exclusively and have no plans to enter other markets.

hey there might actually be a white evo, if you look at the charging case it's whit. not talking about the apple looking one but the one above it.

That was actually the prototype version of the Evo. It originally had a satin silver speaker grill around the camera and rear speaker however in the final release the removed it and went with the solidblack with peaking red backing instead.

What a bunch of a$$hats

What a great business decision. Align yourself with a single company, of course, that company has 4% of the marketshare on a carrier that blows monkey chunks, but hey, those that buy it are about as technologically clueless as most Luddites.
One more reason to never go apple.

As much as I hate it, It's not a completely boneheaded business decision. I mean, the iPhone is the largest single form-factor market. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of new options soon. This is after all, Sprint's follow up to their last two "iphone killers" the instinct and the Pre. The EVO sold 3x more the first day than those two sold combined in their first weekend. You can't really blame them for taking a "wait and see" approach to preparing accessories.
Now that the EVO is a proven success (and a success with very little packed in the box) I'm sure they will be working quickly to supply the market.
I mean, my last phone, the vogue, came with a case, an AC charger, data cable, headphones, screen protection, dongles galore, extra stylus, etc. The instinct came with all that plus an extra battery.
I was wondering about all the reviews *****ing about no HDMI cable -- the EVO didn't even include headphones! The aftermarket for this phone will be very big. Eventually. Still not iPhone big, but big.

i really really want this case, i hope some info on it comes soon, seems like a wicked good case.

1650mah ORIGINAL Samsung batteries now available

Hey all,
As you know the Galaxy S 4G, Giorgio Armani, and a few new Galaxy S phones all have 1650mah batteries that fit in our VIbrants perfectly.
A person in the I9000 has located a store that sells them and is now relisting them on ebay in batches of 5 every one or two days.
If you want a replacement battery, this is a GOOD one. It offers 10% more juice over the stock battery you have and fits WITHOUT any additional battery cover or anything. It is original straight from Samsung
Price is 26 Euro which currently translates to $38.50. It is shipping from Europe.
Enjoy. I just bought one

Yup. Most of the China made batteries are much more cheaper than this & have better capacity. However, some are not in full capacity as listed but some are like Yoobao, Kingmax & Momax.
However, I may get one Samsung Galaxy SL battery 1650mAh in my place here for around USD15.00 only. I bet it can fit into our Vibrant.

Where is that you are getting the 1650 mah battery for $15?

Yup. I got the offer from one of the mobile phone shop here. However, after double check with them that the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9003 battery can't be fixed into our Vibrant due to the size is a bit thicker. Same as GT-I9003 thickness is more than Galaxy S GT-I9000 & Vibrant. No luck I guess.

Please confirm that you can charge the battery. A lot of other batteries, from the 4G or Fascinate, for instance, will work for the phone, but will not charge.

Anyone want to set up a group buy? I want to buy.it but don't need 3.

Dang! Nice find there. That seems to be original which is good.
I'm thinking of creating a group buy for these. I already have mine and it's great so I will either a. Buy 10-15 and resell them invidually on ebay for around $15-20 with the shipping included or b. Get orders here and split the cost.
That is if enough people are interested of course.

Just a quick note, that site has 2 batteries.for the sgs 4g with one being aftermarkwe(the one for 8) and the other being oem, which os.on the site for.20. Anyone know what the difference is between them?

I am in for a group buy, but like some one mentioned will there be a problem to charge these batteries in Vibrant?

No. The batteries WILL work correctly for charging.

get 3, a laza wall charger and you will never plug it in again ...except when transferring files

No offense, but I'm almost totally certain that this is not a Samsung original battery. The Spanish translation is absolutely wrong and literally makes no sense. Compared to the factory battery, which is correctly translated, it is glaringly obvious. Samsung has better translators in Spanish than the Chinese factory that cranked out these reasonably convincing fakes. They have improved the look of the label itself, but the tell-tale faulty translation is still there verbatim from the Chinese fakes that I bought myself.

Well you are wrong. This is from the i9000 forums. The guy is a regular xda member there. Pretty sure they are legit.

Well.. I have to ask the obvious question:
Is this guy from the forum fully bilingual and has he personally examined the point? I have both batteries myself, so I speak from experience, and it makes no difference to me on a personal level, but what I'm saying simply is true. The fakes are poorly translated. The factory originals are correct. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just a public service announcement, so to speak.

I don't think they are OEM batteries.
Why don't these batteries show how many mah they have?

That's one of their multiple flaws which distinguish them from the originals. I think, as I recall, the do have a rating, but it's not accurate. They also should have a serial number, but these are fake also. Both mine are identical in serial number. Like I said, I'm not looking for a fight here. I'm simply trying to make sure that anyone who buys this knows what they are getting.
I bought two and complained about my list of problems, which I've not enumerated in total in this thread, and they were rather minor, considering the price, but because the item was falsely portrayed as Samsung, the seller refunded my purchase price, plus shipping.

Batteries

Anyone know of any extended batteries or extra batteries with charger? I know it might take awhile for an extended to come out but its always nice to have those extra batteries

I heard that the 2000mah battery from the upcoming Samsung Nexus may be available for us. It would make sense considering how similar the phones are.

Nice that'd be sweet

This is all I've seen so far
http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CGPK009GSTA

some research i did found that epic batteries will work but they are only 1500mah. but during that research i read about some batteries having different chips telling it how to charge correctly. i'd much rather wait for a OEM 1800 battery

Ive still got my charging kit for the epic, a few oem 1500 batteries and a 1650 galaxy s 4g battery
EDIT: oem samsung galaxy s 4g 1650mah battery works just fine

Here's a link to an OEM 1800 mah battery that ships on 9/30.

Even better, Samsung has a standalone charger, stand for $50. It says it includes a new 1800mAh battery AND a wall charger. If it really exists and has the battery, it's a good deal.

Also, I wonder what Seidio will come up with. Love their stuff.

Since battery is the same size as og epic you can use the same extended batteries yay just need to battery cover

I have 5 epic 4g batteries and I try to put them in top first and the bottom will not push fully in due to the top corners are not cut out properly to fit in my Touch. I wish they did, wouldn't have to buy an extra battery. Probably only need one for emergency backup anyway. After the newness wears off, it will probably last the whole day.

The Epic Touch battery fits perfect in the original Epic. On the original Epic, the top "posts" where the battery fits in are smaller than the "posts" on the Touch. That's why the original Epic battery does not fit in the Touch.

Battery for HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus

So, anyone know where I can get the official battery, preferably one that comes with the battery charger? Regular and extended applies to the question.

Bumping this to see if anyone has any updated information on it.

alot of the galaxy nexus batteries on ebay seem to originate in Hong Kong. since I will be going there next week, i'll be on a lookout for both official as well as non official batteries
(i feel like the difference between the official and nonofficial batteries is just the Samsung logo slapped on. I feel that the all the cases and batteries on ebay all originated from the same factory as casemate cases and other batteries etc etc.)

Well, I would assume they would be? I mean, chances are pretty high anyway because the seller is from Korea and from what I know, only the Korean market has the extended battery for the GN. I'm just hoping that they come with the back cover so I don't have to hunt for one.

For those who are desperate enough, they can try duct tape? lol

does anyone now how much thicker this battery is?
since the back cover is pretty flexible, i think it can work if its less then 2mm.
i really need another battery since the 1750mah battery just gets me to home and work, and i need to recharge it sometimes @ home before going out again.

BUMP!!!
I NEED a extended battery for this GSM Nexus !!

Well I knew they would pop up soon! and also was thinking maybe you could use the original back cover too, since the sensation had an extended battery and you could squeeze it in with the regular back cover! I will keep searching!

Would be great if a korean could test it, try to fit the extended battery with the standard back cover.

I messaged a user on here that said they were from Korea. He said he'd look into it if there is somewhere that we can order the battery and cover. He mentioned that the cover for the battery just fills in the bump at the bottom of the phone so that it is more flush on the back.
He also mentioned that probably there aren't a lot of places to order(or at all) since the phones there come with the battery already.

Extended battery does not fit when used with the regular back. Pictures soon, currently at work.
As for availability, definitely give it a month or so. This phone and all related accessories are just flying of the shelves. I can't even find cases here, let alone extra batteries. I also heard from another user that the Galaxy Nexus is sold out in certain cities until 2012, so that's a pretty good indication as to how long it might be.

Wtf? New Anker battery doesn't fit S3

I bought an Anker battery a week ago and it just arrived. I'm trying to fit it in and it doesn't fit at all. It is too wide and the bottom sections don't align properly.
I got it from Amazon and I'm sure its a genuine battery because of that.
I just can't believe it doesn't fit. Has this happened to anybody else?
I'm extremely disappointed with this. I was planning on upgrading to an S5 in a few months and figured I'd probably buy a new Anker battey with it but I can't believe this one doesn't even fit my phone.
I've included pictures:
http://imgur.com/a/eXOCH

I think it's because it's 4400mAh, stock battery is 2100 so that one's going to be significantly larger. I'm pretty sure at that size they're supposed to come with a case that can house the battery with the phone.

Its definitely supposed to be bigger than the default battery but I checked videos online, it is supposed to snap into place just like the old battery. Extended batteries fit the same space but stick out farther so you need to use the provided case.
This battery DOES NOT line up with the phone along the bottom edge. It just doesn't. From Youtube videos, the batteries other people have line up and snap in. Because it doesn't actually fit into the battery slot, I can't even use the provided case.
It is very messed up and I'm just in disbelief because I can't find any record of any other person online with the same problem.

Contact Anker. I've heard their support is very good. It looks like you got a note 3 or galaxy S4 battery accidentally.

Looks to me like a case of a mis-labeled item. I ordered the same battery about a year and a half ago and all was fine. Im sure Anker will sort it out for you, they have a great support staff.

Well no e-mail response unfortunately.
Going to have to call them.

Email support is unbelievably slow.
Takes more than 1 full day to get a response, takes like 2 full days just to have them ask me a question and for me to respond.

Just forgot about this thread and wanted to update.
Anker was nice over e-mail and gave me the option of a replacement or a refund.
I chose a full refund because I was planning on upgrading to a Galaxy S5 anyway which I now have.
