Accessories Seidio Innocell 3000mAh Extended Battery is here!!!

N19 3500mAH Extended Battery Cover For Samsung Epic 4G ..............



you all should really check this battery out on ebay. really cheap and last very long. i'm going on 2 days and still 90% full battery life. with pretty heavy use. check it out!!
 
Not impressed. The cover is a pain in the A** to put on. Once finally all the tabs were clicked in the phone would turn off after 15 seconds only to turn back on again. Partially separating the tabs on the right side seemed to fix things but the cover is not properly seated anymore.

Anyone else having the same issue once the cover is completely snapped in of having their epic turn off only to turn back on again... I know its not a phone or software issue since once I pop the cover off or go back to the stock cover the issue goes away.

I called Seidio customer service three times to say the people there are useless is an understatement. They basically were no help and said I could return it for a refund which would take about 2 weeks.
 
Perhaps the tab is pressing on the power button? Maybe ask for an exchange? One poor one slipped through the cracks...

I apologize about this! The battery door is a tight fit but your phone should not be turning on and off. We do replace items as well, if you are interested. Please PM so I can better assist you!
 
jdegroot01 I too had the same issue (once the cover is completely snapped in of having their epic turn off only to turn back on again and no its not a phone or software issue since once you pop the cover off the issue goes away).The right side tab is definitely pressing on the power button. After playing around with it for a while what worked for me was to snap in the right side tab first (one near the power button) and then work your way around the others. This seem to fix the powering on issue. Now my cover seats perfectly and no issues with the phone turning back on again. But Seidio should definitely look into this annoying issue. Shame on you Seidio. :mad::mad::mad:
 
FWIW, I have NOT had the random power on/off issue as reported above. I will, however, agree that the back cover is a tight fit. Once you get it on/off one or two times the "pain" of trying to seat it correctly, at least in my case, goes away some.

I will definitely forward this feedback to our product development team to look into.
 
My feeling is that Seido needs to redesign the cover to be like the stock Samsung cover except with the extra room. The stock cover fits PERFECT and the replacement should fit no less so. I would be willing to pay a little extra (a few bucks) to get a better cover but this company needs to bear a good deal of cost to fix this, to me it's a serious flaw. I'm really put off by it. Here's another weakness-the existing cover has a "creaky wood floor" fit to it. If I push on the sides once the cover is in place it moves and makes noise.
 
I ordered one of these batteries a couple days ago as part of my preparations before heading to CES in a couple weeks. I'm hoping that all goes well, and that the battery life is indeed nearly double.

-SF
 
i used to have an Evo. I rooted it. when i got the extended battery, i had to wipe the battery stats.
i posted a thread about it, but no one responded.

My epic is not rooted, and im wondering if i need to wipe my battery stats. and im also wondering how do i wipe my stats if im not rooted?
will a factory reset wipe the battery stats?

Thanks in advance.
 
I've had this extended battery running in my Epic for a bit over a week now... the battery life is indeed quite a bit better... is it doubled? Hmm, probably not quite, but close enough that I'm happy. I can get through an entire day now, about 8am to 2am the following day (that's about my normal sleep schedule) and I'll be sitting at around 40% as I drift off to sleep, as opposed to having been dead 2-3 hours before that previously. One thing I did notice is that the battery really does do better after a few days' worth of recharging, as Seidio states. The first day I was worried I got a bad battery because it didn't seem any better than stock, and maybe even worse... but with each subsequent recharge it has definitely improved. I'm quite happy with the purchase for sure... the back cover is a bit odd... I don't mind the added bulk frankly, but the shape takes some getting used to. As for the fit, I actually prefer how the replacement cover fits better. Yes, it's harder to get on and off, but I frankly like that... one thing you never want is a cover and battery to pop off your phone by accident :) I haven't experienced any of the problems people are talking about here, but maybe I've just been lucky. As I said, I'm very happy with this purchase, no question.

You can use a file explorer like astro and go to data>system>batterystats if it is the same as moment and intercept

I have had our product team look into this and we haven't been able to replicate the phone powering off and on again. It may be the way the battery door is being installed, so we have now included instructions to begin installing the battery door on the right side, near the power button. Doing so will ensure that you do not run into this issue!

This battery is absolutely worthless. The cover does not fit correctly. Even if I can eventually get the cover to stay on the phone I do not trust it. If it fit correctly it would not take over an hour to put on. I've had other Epic users try to get the cover on too with no luck.

If this is the kind of thought Seidio puts into the back cover imagine the "thoughtfulness" they're putting into the internal components of the battery itself.

Seidio = FAIL

follow this link

Read the tip I posted there to get the cover on. I'm willing to make a video if it's helpful. :)

FWIW, the cover is a bit difficult at first but once you know the trick to getting it on, it's simple and extremely sturdy.
 
wow.

it doesnt take a genious to put the darn battery cover on. i got my battery and cover earlier this week and took me 15 seconds to put the battery cover on. The End. not so hard.
