It is slightly bigger than the standard battery and comes with a new backplate. People are getting ~25% extra battery life.

There's a good discussion at XDA.

MobileFun has it for €32.48 delivered.

Looks great but the extra thickness will probably mean that case is not the right fit for the upgrade

Here's a list of compatible cases that fit the S2 with the 2000mah battery...

I will be buying that battery, thanks!

In fact is that the biggest battery available? I wouldnt mind doubling the weight and thickness.

Sound, well I am currently carrying around a G1 so I wouldnt mind the weight/size.

The only problem is I can imagine the camera would work the same, the pics seem to show the battery sticking out a lot and possibly messing with the angles it would pick up.

is the phone worth it?

Going to pick up an SII this week, really looking forward to getting my hands on one. Big decision is where the best deal for the handset is, still not quite sure! The all you can eat data on three sure is tempting

Lads sometimes my s2 will switch from the dim display setting to bright but still tell me its on dim. anyone else having this problem?

Just put 2.3.4 on mine (rooted it again) and used Titanium Backup Pro to remove a load of the Samsung bloatware apps. I wiped the phone and I haven't got everything reinstalled but the battery life is significantly better. The feel of the phone and some annoyances are better too, I haven't changed the default launcher this time.

Going to check out this battery too.

got very bad battery life yesterday.
lost 50%+ in 2 hours during the day - culprit touchdown email causing wakelocks again (uninstalled again)
then lost a steady 15% over the evening, assumed down to browsing etc.
put phone onto airplane, silent and night screen as usual and woke up this morning to low battery alert and the remaining 25-30% of my battery trickling away
culprit this time, footmob scores and again partial wakelocks.

both uninstalled now and phone charging - unfortunately i have to reinstall touchdown when i am on call to make my life easier, i just keep forgetting to uninstall it as it seems to just get worse and worse after a few days

mobile internet notification.

cant figure out what the notifications are on phone.

at top of screen when i enable data i get a mixture of 3G - G - H+ notification that keeps changing. theres also an orange arrow and green arrow underneath these notifications.

what do these values mean? i know what 3G is obv.

Lazy question here.

I have a SG2 which was originally Vodafone, I rooted and unlocked it and have an O2 sim card now in it. What firmware would I want to put on it to bring it to the latest Android. I don't want a custom one, I've heard the official one was leaked but does it matter what provider the phone was using?

Any links?
