P500 Battery doesn't fit - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to get a new battery (LGIP-400N) for my P500. I have bought three different batteries (all LGIP-400Ns) and none of them fit even though they all claim to work in the P500. They have all been too big and although the phone boots with the battery squeezed in, it sticks out at the corners and the case doesn't fit back on. It's also a different shape, the original has more rounded edges, whereas the ones I have received are more square.
The original is like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But the batteries I have received are like this:
Does anyone know where I can get a battery that works in the P500? Are the original batteries even available anymore? I have seen other people having the same problem. This one here looks like the original, but it doesn't mean you're going to get one like that... Any advice would be appreciated.

I got my original one from LG service centre. You can try that.

$.05 flash bleedover fix for extended batteries

If you have an extended battery + door, you likely have bleed over from the flash. My particular door is a grey/bronze color, and the flash bleed was a greenish tint, which ruined any darker shots which required the flash.
Here is an example of what flash bleedover looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and an example of a battery door that doesn't perfectly match the differences of height between the nexus one's camera lens and the flash. If you look closely at yours there is a .022" or difference, which allows the flash to bleed into the camera's lense section.
this is the battery door for my cheap $14 ebay 2700 mah battery and the $0.99 phone skin i hacked up to fit the battery door. (shrug) it works and doesn't look terrible from arms length.
closer shot of the battery door and the fix:
and the resulting picture with full flash and using touch focus (cyanogen nightly has an AWESOME camera app now!)
You can see the flash bleedover is completely gone. All you need is a bicycle repair kit, or a piece of gasket material, or black tape. Whatever is available will work, but adhesive backed material will keep it from moving around when switching batteries. (sweet)
Make sure you place it as close to the opening as possible, so as not to get any adhesive on the camera lens.
Sooo now you have 4-5 hours worth of solid still/video thanks to your extended battery, and can actually USE THE FLASH while doing it. Cool.
Maybe my battery door was the exception, but I doubt it. Post your results and methods here.
what a ugly mouse...

hmm, hadn't thought of that really. works great, batteries last for a month (rechargables AA).
i'll update to the newer model if/when it's time to get another apple keyboard wireless kb.
man it would rock if my kb worked with HID on the nexus

[i9000] Stylus - good for SGS?

I'm thinking of getting a stylus for my few days old SGS as I'm clumsy when using the keyboard.
Are those selling over at Amazon or ebay good for daily use?
You'd need a capacitive stylus, a normal one won't work with the SGS touchscreen
The best I have found are pogo sketch pen which are meant for capacitive touch screen.
Expensive but worth the price as the cheaper ones worn out soon & leave a mark on the screen. I tried 2 of the cheaper ones as that is what available in our local market.
You should be able to get these in your local Funan IT mall, else try the Chinese one, if you buy please post the review here so others can decide too.

just paid for one from ebay. should have it in a couple of days as its located in another state here in aus.
pen for SGS
don't be disappointed if the pen you ordered is bad. I have 3 of them (noname from ebay) and they're all awful! They just won't slip on the screen and they're like a hard piece of rubber. But recently I used a samsung stylus and it's great. I don't know if they have many models, that was a short one with a cap that could extend it's size.

I ordered it Thursday or Friday and got it today. The fit is perfect. The buttons are cut out in such a way that they stick through the case (rather than being covered) and I like that. It makes them easy to press but harder to press by accident than the rubber cases that cover the buttons.
If I have one complaint it is that the one in the picture looked more clear. This one has clear spots but the pattern is opaque and not very subtle. I was hoping for less of a pattern and more of the phone's natural beauty to show through.
All total I am satisfied. I ordered a black case (the one with the swirl on the back) the same day so I will see which one I like more when it gets here. I suspect I will like the look of the black one better so I hope the fit is as good as this one.
i have one of these on my xoom. Quality is superb
I just got the black one and I like the way it makes the phone feel
feels a lot better then the tmobile one and I like that the holes are cut out were there suppose to be

Phone Stand

I've been looking for a phone stand for quite some time now. Would really appreciate suggestions or recommendations of stands people have used.
Things I am looking for:
Can hold N4 in portrait and landscape
Minimal coverage of the entire front
Good cable management or built in microUSB charger
Sturdy construction
A lightweight designed stand is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find anything... I'm new to Nexus and have to replace my iPhone gear.
Are you guys open to diy or strictly something professionally designed?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I was looking for the same thing for my newly bought Nexus 4.
I've searched ebay and didn't find anything that looks decent to be honest.
The most beatiful / pratical thing I've found is this LG Wireless charger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-WCD-80...51188?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item3a7fa87b34

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But the price is simply obnoxious.
Then there is this ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sync-Dock...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3cd011bd82
Which seem very.. meh. Plastic thing.
Now that first one is sexy! I'd personally be a bit wary of the price and location of the item but if someone gets one and works legit I'd love to know.
Your 2nd link is a charger stand I used with my old LG 2x, they are very good, I had 2 of them (one for work one for home). :good:
I've got two of the second one. Bought off Amazon. Work fine but ensure that they supply the non-case insert adapter as the first one I purchased didn
't come with one. Phone still charges but is slightly loose in the cradle.

I would say pro design, I'm hoping to have something slick in appearance.

The two images posted look pretty good. Too bad the top one is so expensive and out of the price range I was thinking about spending on a stand. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Fake EB20 battery?

Hey guys, bought a Motorola phone phone on eBay. I love it, but the phone decided not turn on after using it for a bit. After opening the case the back of the phone, the battery immediately fell out... The bottom connectors had been stripped from the phone.
Then I realized... this does not look anything like a stock OEM Motorola battery.
First off... Its yellow.
Second... I didn't see a pull tab on the side.
So do you guys believe this is a fake after market battery? Are there ways to tell?
The battery looks a lot like this one on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1750-mAh-ba...0-XT912-Droid-Razr-Screw-Driver-/251338203275
Edit: Did the nail polish removal trick... failed. None of the ink or words rubbed off. Looks like everything was photocopied onto the front.

This is a replacement battery. Not the stock one. Also this is not a Motorola product.
I had bought one of this(EB20) earlier for my XT910 as the stock battery was twice its price and I didnt had enough in my account!
Go and sue the seller asking for the stock one!
