it actually seems to be the same size... maybe its just thicker. what do you think?
It's really hard to tell what is exact size of the battery judging from the video. Before I posted my last post, I was searching for the dimensions (WxHxD) on the internet for like half an hour and didn't found anything. But again, i6000 is a massive one, so I think that's mission impossible. If the thickness is greater, the back cover will not fit right, and possibly the NFC pins won't be properly connected. On the other side, if any of the width or the height is greater, it won't fit too. And also, if the battery connectors are slightly moved to the side, that would be a problem too. There are batteries of around 2000-2100mAh (THL W8, FireFly, iOcean) which could be tried, but this one from i6000... just forget about it.

Ahh, now it' more clear. Yeah, the status itself is a software problem, but AFAIK, haven't it been fixed in 1.0.4? If not completely, maybe they will polish it in one of the next firmwares.

And maybe it's because they are chinese company

You don't have to. Leave it at your workplace, or in a car, or somewhere else. You don't have to keep it in your pocket all the time

Where did you see that?
Despite all my efforts to help people out, I don't have my piece (yet)
For now, I'm just a messenger and I'm just presenting verified information I pick up all around the globe
Also I'm quite experienced with chinese phones and such gadgets generaly, so I try to help others in my free time. My V3 should be here in about a week, so then I'll be even more active here
I've ordered it a month ago, but Antelife is giving me really bad headaches. Got it for $164, that's why I ordered it, but I don't think I'll order something from them anytime soon. In normal circumstances you should get around 4 hours of screen time. Don't know about the stand-by time.

which version do you suggest for me that works bug free?
I recommend either Gizbeat's or GeekGirl's version. Bugs are ever-existent. So whether it's 1.0.1 or 1.0.4, stock or not, you can certainly expect them, but we're here to help you out if you encounter one. Most of the time greater version is a better version, so I would recommend 1.0.4.

That's not a bug, that's by design. But expect a bug in 1.0.4 when both auto-focus and touch-focus won't work!
Gizbeat enlightened us yesterday when saying you should only switch the phone off, take out the battery, put it back in, and it should work as expected lol
So again, you'll encounter a bug sooner or later, but for most of them, there is a fix.

Yes, there is a risk involved, but this one for the CPU is a complete nonsense. I am more concerned about the SD card corruption (only when something is written at the shutdown time), but you can always take out your external SD card, and if you're worried about the internal one, make a CWM backup beforehand. I tried it on my tablet, but it's on Android 4.4 which is not supported
Anyway, I will certainly try it on my V3.
Phew, what a post! Let's open a Guinness record thread
