battery question

wondering, last night i forgot to charge the Universal, this morning it was off.
Plugged in the mains and booted the universal, all fine. Then i checked battery status and it was charching nicely.
Now my question, never checked it out and couldn't find anything in the forum so i am wondering :
is there no backup battery? it does not show in my battery settings. if it is not there is the universal the first one without? LOL
or does it show the backup battery only after the main removable battery is fully charged?
I also noticed it retained all my settings etc, my qtek s100 would have resetted already??
Greetz
DvL
:twisted:

there is no backup battery, the ram isnt volitile anymore its persistant, hence, no need for backup.
one of the BIG +'s for WM5

hehe
:shock:
wow didn't even know that when i bought my universal LOL
ok i will never sell it now haha. anyone wanna buy a almost new qtek s100? hehe pick up only LOL
i really can't believe those people saying they prefer their mda's 1 2 3 compact now.. they are so outdated LOL

EXEC backup battery
I have just purchased a XDA EXEC on an O2 contract and in one of the instruction books supplied it mentions that there is both a lithium battery (the normal phone battery) and a NiMH button cell inside?
I have not seen any indication of this battery on the system information on the phone itself.

The switch you flick to get the battery out on this and the previous XDA's activated the backup battery on the XDA2, 2i and 2s.
Perhaps we have the same switch but no backup battery inside?

There is no backup battery, cause the Universal doesn't need it. *period*!
It's a new concept with persistent memory. No need for a backup battery (which will last only a limited time), cause memory content is save. It's just flash memory as in the sd-cards, which don't need any battery, too! :shock:
So no backup battery in Universal is an advantage not any disadvantage! :shock:
Got it now?

Wizard battery compatibility with Artemis

doews anybody knows if the wizard battery (wiza16) can be used to replace the artemis abttery (arte16)?
I live in Brazil, where teh artemis is hardly sold, and i got a problem with my battery. I can buy the wiza16 battery. The pinouts seems to be the same, same as the voltage. Can anybody help me ?

Why not just buy a 1500ma battery from ebay? I just got one for less than $10 US shipped.

I have a working Artemis on my desk with my old Wizard battery. It is totaly OK.

wizard battery holds a bit tight but ok.

Cameron Sino Extended Battery - Review

Thought I would write a quick review of the extended battery I just bought.
Background
I was rather unhappy with my original battery as were most people! It only lasted me a day and as my job requires me to be out and about a lot, plus to call people often, I thought something more robust would be better. My solution = The Cameron Sino 2600mAH Battery!
Initial Impressions
The battery is twice the size of stock. The battery cover did not close on my phone. Total size isnt too bad. It nearly doubles the phone thickness, but when I come onto the testing section later this is a worthwhile sacrifice.
Cover Fit
The cover didnt fit so I decided to buy a 32gb micro sd card (which works fine), and to super glue the cover on. I figured that using a scalpel I could remove the back (I tested and it works fine) if ever required. Hopefully I wont need to access it ever, or until I upgrade in 18 months and decide to sell it.
Performance
After charging to 100%, running down to 0% 3 times, I have now had the phone on for 5 days and it's current charge level is 10%. As you can see this is awesome. My settings:
Helix Launcher
Wifi On about an hour a day
Light phone calls (around 5 hours)
Light texting - 20 odd a day
3g Off
GPS off
I imagine in real life conditions 3 days moderate use would be obtainable.
Conclusion
Overall I am very very happy with this battery. It really brings this phone into the "worthwhile for daily use" category (it should have been here originally ofcourse). Hopefully will be able to use the standard UI rather than Helix when 2.1 comes out. Damn app power leaks.
Rating: 4/5 (Battery door a poor fit)
Edit: Forgot to mention at £16.99 delivered (amazon.co.uk), you can hardly go wrong!!!

Could you post a pic of your phone now please?

Unfortunately my only camera is my phone...... sorry. Maybe someone else can!?

Wow! I assume you like your phone carrier since it is difficult now to remove the sim card.

Well my carrier (Three) used to be terrible. However they appear to have upgraded their cell towers and I now have full signal most places that my friends dont! So yeah I like my carrier!

Why dont you buy the extra thick covers that are all over ebay so that you dont have to glue anything?
Edit: My bad they arent on ebay, but there is a thread in the accessories forum, I'm sure of it.

theres a couple of posts and reviews in a thread on here already and myself and several others paid just £12.99 free postage from ebay

Yeah I rarely buy off ebay - had a lot of problems with sellers before (might just be my luck ). I saw the other reviews, and just wanted to do my own hehe.

any chance to get a pic of your phone? how it looks with the glued cover?

If i ma not wrong, that battery comes with a cover for X10 right? Are u saying that that cover that they provide does not fit properly?

Mine fits properly. You just have to force the sides of the cover into place and thats it. Battery life is much better than the oem one and has a very noticeable difference.

ordered one from http://www.megacapacity.com/26985.html . Lets see how it goes

Just updating this thread for potential cameron sino battery buyers. I got the package 4 days ago. I removed my stock battery, popped this battery in, used the back cover that was provided by them. The phone became almost twice the depth thanx to the battery.
Then the issues started. Even though the green light used to come on when connected to the mains, the phone never used to start. Initially i thought the charge is low, so left it overnight, but then the next morning i saw tht I still had the same issue. After fidgeting with it for sometime, i noticed that there is a 1(or 0.5) mm gap between the battery and contacts because of which the x10 did not start. I used a thin plastic sheet(amost like a sheet of paper) to hold the battery up against the contact and it worked fine. Right now the problem is that if i shake the phone a bit vigorously, it gets disconnected because of the shorter battery.
But i want to see how the battery lasts so am using it for now. It all boils down to the time i have to wait till next charge. If it really gives around 70% more time (as claimed by many in other forums) i will use it despite the bulkiness and the smaller battery issues. Thanx for reading!!!

so this comes with a case as well for £12.99?

Thanks for this info! I was having the same issue with this battery. I thought I was having a driver issue for extended batteries but after reading your post, I confirmed that it wasnt the case. Fixed the problem but with a different approach.
What I did was I soldered a small amount of lead onto the contacts on the battery (careful enough not to short the contacts) so that it would give better contact on pins of the x10.. I know the process seems a little bit drastic but it works! I can't make the phone shutdown even when I shook the hell out of this phone.

Thanx man!!! I was doubting if only I had the issue. Your plan of soldering seems a permanent fix Will try that when i get time

N7100 Battery problems - urgent!

the battery that came with the phone (which I bought exactly a year ago) started dying on me, (percentage jumping, weird freezing and hanging, crashing and other stuff.) Where do I get an ORIGINAL OEM battery and not some cheap crappy counterfeit that will actually produce about 70% of the original capacity which is around 2180~mAh instead of a full 3100. (Samsung.com doesnt seem to have it - I checked ..(IL)
Ideas? (Im desparate and its pretty urgent due to the fact I have everything on my phone, I use it 24 hours a day , all of my projects are on it, and I need to fix this problem ASAP)

just email samsung and they will provide address or sell you one. phone will work on charger, so no worries. you can buy extended battery i.e. zerolemon

I'm not sure if we're allowed to mention sites but, I've gotten some before on eBay for this exact model, just make sure you check the user's feedback.

Battery suggestion

I bought a supposedly genuine battery off of Ebay that turned out to be a total bust. It doesn't fit well either as I can feel it shifting inside the phone. :crying:
Does anyone have any suggestions on good OPO 2 replacement batteries?

I actually bought 2 different ones (one from ebay and one from a different site). Both of which turned out to be bad. They worked but they lasted less than the original one. I ended up going back to the original. If yours' is tottaly dead, I suggest you just stick with whatever you've got and don't waste more money.

why don't you buy it from oneplus store?

Because if you already knew, oneplus doesn't sell any replacement parts through their store, they only do repairs (which are expensive afaik)

Damn, guess I'll have to go back to the old one. I might try Amazon and see if they're better than ebay.

Thinking after 2 years it's time for a battery replacement, I ordered as well recently from Ebay waiting it to be delivered but not keeping my hopes high. I let you guys know if it turns out OK.
Edit: It's terrible. Overheats and charges really slow etc. Went back to the stock. Ordered another one. Will update.
Edit 2: Back again to stock.

same here guys.. got the phone for 20 months now and in winter I got huge battery drops....I'm just calling/email and the battery won't last for more then 8 hrs... this is crazy...

same here, bought two on ebay, both worse than the original.
Asked support where to get a original replacement, but they wouldn't tell, but offered to do the replacement for around 40 Euros. It took almost 5 weeks though, so if you have a spare phone, I'd advise to do the same, instead of trying to find a decent replacement somewhere....

Hi everyone, reviving this thread as the older our beloved op2 gets the more and more of us will be in a need of a replacement battery.
Now, did anyone have any luck finding an oem battery replacement somewhere else than OP support?
All the "originals" on eBay seem to be garbage.

Where to buy good battery? Anyone bought recently & is satisfied with the product?

before you start getting stuff from ebay and other questionable sources, ask OP how much will it cost you for THEM to replace it.
in my case, they are asking for 33 euros which is actually not bad at all. as a matter of facts, i am actually sending mine out for repair tomorrow. sure, i will have to live without my OP for like 2 weeks, but there is a guarantee i will get an original battery.
rule of a thumb - "original" batteries from ebay are ****

I agree. Charged the same. Like you said, will give it to service Centre.

Hi all, so I've bought one on ebay for like 15$ with tools set and so far so good, on one charge got like 1,5 - 2 days - average usage (calls, emails, toilet gaming) , but charging time is longer i think... keywords for ebay "Original NEW Battery BLP597 For OnePlus Two 2 With Nice Tools 3200mAh 3.8V"
I'm using it for 3rd week now...

I recently had my battery replaced by OP.
RMA created in the weekend.
Package shipped out on Tuesday evening (through UPS).
Delivered at the repair center on Wednesday, repair quote received (and paid) in the evening.
Repaired on Thursday morning and dispatched later that day.
Received back in my possession (UPS delivered) on Friday.
Sure, it was wiped, bootloader locked and flashed with OOS 3.6.1. but that was expected.
I have absolutely no reason to complain and I hereby officially regret all my previous attempts to get a "new" battery from ebay or other questionable sources for which I wasted more money than OP asked for: 33 EUR.
New battery immediately increased the SOT by 1 hour and i no longer face the issue i faced before which was: whenever the battery dropped to 30% i knew i had no more than half an hour left until the phone died.
So, if you need a new battery, save yourself the time and money and do it the same way. I would certainly recommend this to all european customers, like me.

Hello, can you please install "accubatery" app from playstore and charge your phone from 1-100% without using it? It will show you a real estimate of your battery capacity. Post screenshots afterwards, I will buy that battery for sure if its close to an original new one. Thank you!

Hi, will install it, but not sure about the 0-100% as I need the phone for daily use..maybe during weekend

Thank you, the 0-100% is not that important, the bigger fraction of charge the better, you can install it now and it will measure your battery over time, the more charge sessions of over 20% the more accurate results it gives.

Hi so I've done it yesterday. See screenshots attached.

That's actually very nice score, looks like a real oem battery or a very close one. New original. Batteries show around 90%-93% with that app. Buying one, thankyou.

Maybe this has been asked elsewhere... but facing the fact that mostly our only option here is 3rd party batteries... has anyone tried one of the two (or more?) Chinese 3800mAh batteries? One is called an HSABAT (maybe the company) and the other a Da Da Xiong.
Here's the HSABAT "New 3800mAh BLP597 Battery" (I am not recommending or dissing this! Just interested if someone's tried it!):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HSABAT-N...Oneplus-2-One-Plus-Two-Battery-p/202269516963
And here's the Da Da Xiong 3800mAh BLP597 Battery:
https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/da-da-xiong-3800mah-blp597-battery-for-oneplus/399378631.html
AGAIN... neither of these have been tested by me. I am wanting input from anyone who has tested them. I know we sometimes have opinions re China, many of those opinions bogus, but folks our phones were made there. So maybe these are good. And maybe they are a joke. I hope for input from someone who's tried 'em.
