****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

What extended battery is this? How much was it, and some more info would be nice. :)

2000mah battery for the SGSII

the new back cover sits almost flush with the little bump on the bottom (speaker area).

£23 delivered with codes, 2000mAh capacity (1650 is the original), 1mm extra thickness (in line with the lump at the bottom of the phone at the back).

Comes with a new back cover.
 
They should have just used that battery to begin with. The thickness claims were lies anyway as the entire phone isn't the same thickness! :p

I'm surprised they haven't come under much scrutiny for that actually.
 
i've moved to touchpal keyboard which is pretty decent especially as it has both swype (which is slower as you only use 1 finger and is impossible with the phone on it's side to reach across the phone)

Yeah, you don't really want to be swyping in portrait. There's an app for root users that switches keyboard depending your orientation (of your device, not your own!)

Oh... wait... am I up?

Rubbish. I love how thin the SGSII, even if the lip at the bottom is slightly wider, I don't hold it by that! :p Seriously, I think for me it's about the weight too, I love how light it is.

I am hopefully getting a review unit though, depending how much weight it adds, I can imagine I use it a lot... especially after me talking about not getting caught out and about without a battery, I got caught out and about without a batter today :( lol Only for a 20 minute ride home though.
 
When I first got my SGS2 I can remember that the stock text messaging APP was customisable, now after an update on Kies I can't see any settings for this? You could change the text bubbles colours etc. before, but not any more. I'm on KF4.

Any ideas guys? It's driving me mad!!!

Afaik this was removed in the update.

That looks great imo and I agree they should have just used the bigger battery to start with. Is the new back cover available in white though?
 
Anyone know if the new battery works with the offical docking station?

Doubt I would get one as I brought a battery pack that can charge most USB things for it, but would be nice to know if i ever go "ooo might as well!"

Sorry... I didn't realise that it was you who actually found the codes!

The only one I can find at the moment is for a free cleaning cloth, but I would obviously rather have one for money off, and free delivery, or whatever.

Can I ask where you found the codes you used to bring the cost down to that price, as they are currently asking £24.95 plus delivery?

Mind you, they are currently out of stock of these at the moment, which doesn't help either! :(

Thanks! :)
 
Will the official Samsung vented case work with the official extended battery & door in place?

No, Any case that fits tight to back of the phone and especially if it follows the line of the "chin" at the base of the phone will not fit or fit poorly.
