So I hear Epic 4g battery wont work in Fascinate?

[churro7]

Why is that?


That means I wont be able to use the Yoobao and other extended ebay batteries from the Epic in the Fascinate?

There is code in the battery driver that checks to see if you are using an OEM battery. I guess there is a slight difference between the fascinate battery and other SGS batteries that Samsung/Verizon don't want you to mix them, despite all other SGS phone batteries working from what I know. You can use non-OEM batteries if you are on Eclair and using a patched kernel though.

 

[churro7]

no such kernel for EB01?

Not until we get Froyo source from Samsung or from Sirgatez's i9000 kernel conversion project.

That's my experience as well since I ordered one from Amazon for the Epic and found that I couldn't charge it. The charger that came with it also would not charge the original Fascinate battery either. You can leave it that way if you like and use the Fascinate to charge the Fascinate battery and the Epic stand alone charger to charge the second battery.... I preferred to use either to do their specified job and returned the Epic battery and charger.
