[Q] how does the oem bettery charger and stand work?

i am looking at this:
Galaxy S Battery Charger w/ Stand
samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/mobile-phone-accessories/ET-CHGPKNVGSTA/index.idx?pagetype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&tab=accFeatures
but i can't quite tell how it works. does that flat part flip down to cover the spare battery as it charges? or is that the back of the stand? do you just set the phone up in that groove toward the rear of the device? is there a charging connector built into the stand part, or do you still have to manually plug it in?
sorry for the stream of questions - does anyone have experience with this?

I have the battery stand and it can hold the phone only if the cover is tilted. When you do use it to hold up the phone, battery is exposed

hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions

so you're saying you take the back off for this?

Thanks for the pictures. I ordered mine last week and hoping it would come before end of the week.
Being mobile and on the go during and after work, 1 battery wont be enough for me and an external charger will help greatly.

Ph00ny...perfect, now I see how it works. Sitting in the stand, there is no integrated charging solution since the micro usb is on the top, right?

Well that's great for an extra battery, but the phone just sits there and doesn't get charged. Some body must have a better solution.

Samsung has another Dock that holds the phone Horizontally and charges it:
They call it a multimedia dock

ph00ny, can you lay the phone horizontally, or does it have to stand up?

It works great in horizontal orientation. You don't even have to open the battery cover
I will take some more pics tonight

For swapping out the battery or making it stand in vertical orientation?

Here is the phone in horizontal

Thumbs up for Top Gear!

Cool, I don't know how I missed that as I had been through their accessories pages quite a few times. Does it actually have a media out of some sort? I can't tell from the pic but it looks like there is another port on the back of it. And ofcourse it's out of stock.

Will this battery fit?

I'm asking about this because the red evo one would fit on the g2, so just wanted to know if it's the same case with this battery also, seems like a good deal.

I wouldn't suggest putting a battery that wasn't designed for your device in it. I tried that once with my G1 and it instantly shorted out when attempting to charge it.

I Agree....

Ive been running a EVO 1800mah battery in my G2 since October and still going strong, so have a ton of other people. There are several threads in the accessories section all about this and other batteries that work and work well with the G2.

It hasn't got 2000 mAh by far but still gave me, after the 4 first full charges, about 30% more capacity then the stock battery, which makes for about 1700 mAh if the stock has exactly 1300 mAh. Nice for $ 7 with shipping.
Unsanded/unmodded this battery won't fit and the lid won't close properly.
After removing the wrapper and sanding the right corner and some black plastic in the bottom of the battery the lid still wouldn't fit properly.
When the battery is seated the bottom left corner has the most height, i just cut away the plastic there and now the lid fits fine.
Looks terrible, but the battery still works fine.

thats ridiculous

doesnt even look that bad

I'll buy one if it comes with the back cover hell yeah.

Considering their larger capacity "stock" size batteries are not what they are rated at, I think I'll stick to my HTC brand 2750 until someone actually gets one of these and measures it out.
Not worth the premium price if you're only getting, say...2800 mah compared to what they are advertising....
Considering since it says it has "double" the factory battery, I'd be someone tests this out a few hundred mah lower than advertised.

These are a complete ripoff, dont waste your money.

Anyone notice the picture says 1500mAh.
Nice.....

Why not just strap a car battery to it...Maybe we can go back to the days of bag phones, and backpack batteries...

OOhh then my phone might actually last until i go to sleep like most phones do.

Considering how the TB uses the battery cover as an extended antenna, I think I'm going to stick with the OEM extended battery and battery cover this time.

LOL! good observation!

hahahha omg nice catch 1500.... haha

sooooo bulkyyyyyy........

I stopped using my extended battery. It's too damn bulky. I was actually surprised by how good the stock battery is.

I don't get it. The OEM batteries are so small and thin. I just keep an extra one in my second pocket at all times.

That looks so stupid but I might have to invest in one because the terrible battery life on this phone makes me insane. Im even tempted to go back to my droid.

No doubt it's just a placeholder, since they didn't have a real image at the time. Not that anyone really believes it'll be 3200 anyway...

How can their possibly still be people out there who believe Seidio's claims about their batteries?

just google the title of the thread and ull find a couple of shop

seems kind of sketchy... i did a quick look around on it and can't really find anything about warrenty, returns or one single review :S personally i would not risk it. that's just imo.

What ever it is, the concept is nice. I would love to get such a cover if that really exists...cover + external batery with Off/On option is a great idea...

Look for 'EEB-U20BBUG' Samsungs original battery case for I9100.
Btw, this doesn't fit with the extended battery.

the samsung one is only 1300 mah...
but does it work with the extended 2000 mah battery

Hmmm ,I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those selling for about 25$ or something here in Baghdad.
I'm also pretty sure the capacity was around 1000 mah if the retailer is to be believed.
It looks Identical to this photo though ,with the power,button drawing my attention when I saw it.
Can't tell you anything about actual performance though as I'm already stuck with the over priced - under performing samsung 1300 mah power pack.
I don't think this is fake or capable of damaging the phone ,I've asked the retailer and he said that he tried it and that it's rather good ,and I don't think that he was lying either.

I dont think they have battery cover with that capacity... I found cases like that in ebay but the capacity are below 1650mAh

I'd definitely be interested in obe of those!

simple and great
a friend of me just bought this and it works awesome. its nice looking and battery is sooo much better
edit: its a bit different than on your picture
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-...0-extended-battery-power-pack-case-p28950.htm

mate ,this one is the original samsung power pack which is completely different.
I have this model and it sucks ,says up to 300 hrs standby ,when infact it will drain in about 8 hrs even when attached to a fully charged phone.

So tempted... but 54 quid is a fairly expensive solution to my battery woes.

Looking for Extended Battery + Bumper/Case combo

As the title says, I'm looking to get a nice combination of bumper+mega battery.
I quite like the Sweet Armor posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422752
I'm still very much open to suggestion regarding the battery, but I'm looking at http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1
So yeah, I'm open to suggestion - size, weight and bulk are absolute NON-ISSUES. I like a big heavy phone for my big hands. They just gotta fit together.
Many thanks!

My recommendation is to buy the official Samsung extended battery.
The aftermarket ones tend to get hot, melt, explode and make the babbies cry.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading the reviews for the aftermarket batteries. Thanks!
Now, I have yet to get a definitive answer whether the sammy 2000mah battery fits in the Otterbox Commuter case. The case compatibility thread has some minor details, and a half-assed 'yes-maybe'. Pic of phone & case:

I've got a original samsung 2200mah battery
edit: seems to be afake battery, not that I expected something different for a clone galaxy s2 lol

i have just ordered this one http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk/batt...sung-galaxy-s-ii-s2-2600mah-cs-smi9100hl.html It should actually be here today, i hope it doesnt explode or i will cry!
Well, my extended battery arrived and i almost cried at the sheer size of the thing.... it's actually thicker than the actual device! WTF! the tatty back cover doesn't even fit properly! needless to say, the think will be getting returned! i think the official route will be the best one!!
