i see... but then that one only punch out 950mAh juice while our standard one pumps out 1480mAh of juice leh... kenot tahan lar hahaha...
actually i was looking for an extended battery for i780 with the same size of the current one... i know that Mugen got this enormous 3000mAh juice powerplant but then it comes in the form of gigantic size and additional plastic cover... it's a bit horid... hahaha... anyway thanks dude...
as i'm now scouting for a new battery, i visited the Malaysia Samsung i780 site and the battery capacity is shown as 1140mAh and not 1480mAh as stated in the Samsung global i780 site  rclxub.gif  i wrote to Samsung MY for inquiry and to my surprise, they replied to me and confirmed it's 1140mAh??!!..  hmm.gif

anyone knows how to check the capacity of the battery coz i can't find it printed on the battery itself...
*
oh u mean something like this?
i saw tis quite sometime ago n it sure does makes ur phone looks much fatter.. laugh.gif \

n fyi i jz asked a forumer selling the momax battery for i780 for jz rm40 include postage, and the oem battery for rm25.. here's his thread..

for a price of 40 i think its quite okay to test it.. i dun know tis forumer or anything im jz suggesting so if anything goes wrong dun blame me ya.. whistling.gif

mayb the capacity varies from countries? quite odd though.. y dun make it standard? hmm.gif

yup, that's the horid looking Mugen Battery... but then when time comes and i kenot find any other extended battery, i may opt for that...

the momax battery capacity too small liao... the current one already draining too quick liao if i change to that momax, guess few hours gone hahaha...

i know that the Epix has got 1800mAh capacity, i wonder if it can be retrofitted into i780 hahaha since they are closely related... i know that both is outputing 3.7V.. but the physical dimension, i'm not sure if it's the same though...
*
haha.. it seems like u use alot a day.. ur current 1 can use for how long? mine usually can tahan for 1+ day

normally calling, sms and play games nia... if use wifi or gps oso wont more than 1 hour...

yup, i use my phone heavily especially the push/pull e-mail function which i've set to grab automatically every 1 hour for 3 e-mail accounts using DiGi 3G... if i do this, then battery won't last for 1 day, approx. 3/4 day only... then it's flat dead...

i'm now wondering if this battery for Epix 1800mAh will fit nicely into i780 or not... http://www.batteries4less.com/samsung/blac...ery.html#compat

now, i'm forced to turn off the auto sync and perform the manual sync over a long period of time to save battery juice... in this case, the battery can last longer like 1 1/2 days or even 2 days sometimes... but then i like the mails to be sync automatically rather than me having to go in and sync manually... i guess the 3G/HSDPA is the culprit as it drains too much battery each time it got activated...
*
oh? how bout u try to set it to automatically grab those emails every 3 hours or so? tat way shld be able to save the battery life rite? unsure.gif

Guys,

after installing the latest firmware, my video recording seems to pause after sometime recording.

My 40 second video paused about 3-4 times.

Is it the latest firmware? Did i do it correctly?

Or did i drop it? Which i doubt.
*
if im not mistaken it shld be the memory card problem.. is it too full?

Hi.. i would like to check is there anyone have the same issue i faced about battery life of i780.
I just subcribe to Digi data unlimited and had configure for a push gmail.  The i780 is getting hot and will finished a full charge of battery in less than 6 hours. But if i disable the push email, the same battery will last me for 2 days. I would like to find out whether this problem happen to my unit only for it happen to all i780. Thanks in advances

hmm... can't blame Samsung though for the low spec of the camera megapix coz they target this phone for business segment, thus all business segment phone have relatively low spec camera but bumped up high in others area such as Processor (32-bit Marvell PXA310 624 MHz processor which is far much more juice than HTC Diamond) and Memory (128 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM)...

further more this phone was back dated to late 2007 and back then the entry level for business phone camera is 2MP  sweat.gif
as for now, the business phone camera is still very much bumped up only up to 3.2MP after 2-3 years since the i780 model... clear examples would be the OMNIA B73x series...

at the time of i780 released date and time, no doubt it was a superb complete package of mobility...  thumbup.gif
(btw, i don't work for Samsung hahaha...i just like this phone...  tongue.gif )
*
haha its good to see there's more user for this phone.. im guessing u got it from Mr.lai from garage sales? he sell it real cheap! this phone is really underpriced man.... doh.gif

hmm... last time i used to restore the entire SMS of mine too but then i don't look at them one actually so i use Microsoft MyPhone and back it up... then archive it on the MyPhone website and then delete them from the phone... so whenever i wanna look at my old SMS-es, i go and find them at MyPhone website instead... so now whenever i flash to a newer ROM, it faster for me to restore and backup as the database of SMS-es now is smaller and of coz it's growing day-by-day.. till when it's too huge again, i will archive it using MyPhone once more...

MyPhone is a great tool to use for backing up and restoring SMS-es and Contact... basically, WM 6.5.x are quite stable on our unit...  thumbup.gif

hey i plan to use tat kinda software too.. but i jz cant find it anywhere... is Myphone free??
