Hey all. I bought the 3500 mah battery in the beginning of august and just last night started seeing the phone die even though the percentage was reporting nowhere near dead... I would charge, get the green light, and go and it'd die 15 mins later. What gives? Any tips? I am using the stock battery now and all is well. Thanks for any info you all may have !

If your stock battery works correctly, then its time to call Seidio and get a RMA.
This is my first post on here,but I've been lurking for ages I just bought a Mugen 3200mAh battery from MugenBattery.com.I already know about not having to condition it(lithium ion),so I ignored the instructions about cycling it and plugged it in and used it right away,and at first it seemed okay for around an hour(I didnt use it at all up to this point,just left it there until I needed it).When I went to unlock my Vibrant from suspend(pushing on the power button),the phone shut off and seemed like it was rebooting...but it just had the first screen you see(the one with Samsung and Vibrant on it) blinking on and off,even when I plugged in the charger in this state,all that popped up was a battery that also blinked on and off.The only way to get it going again was to pull and replace the battery,and it went back on again...then did this all over again when it went into suspend and I tried to unlock it.All the while,the battery stated it had around 75% power,so I have no idea what could have caused this.I put my cheep chinese 2700mAh battery back in and all was well again,so I know its the battery,not the phone.Anyone else have or seen this problem before?This is the most expensive battrery I have ever purchased for a phone at $88.00US....I hate to think that a cheep($20.00US) chinese battery has better quality control than it....
i think you need to charge it for 12 hours first.

Thanks,you were right! An overnight charge of around 12 hours did it.This is the first phone battery I had to do that with to get them to just work at all.Seems to work just fine now Again,thank you!
Let us know how long the battery is lasting once you get a few cycles please!
Yeah, you should run the battery dry, recharge, run dry, recharge and after a few cycles your life should improve.
Will do,just need a few days to do it,its lasting a looooong time!

NO, NO, NO. PLEASE stop spreading bad information. This will HARM the battery, and will have 0 benefit. The only "benefit" you can get from this is that the battery meter on the phone's firmware will be calibrated to show a more correct remaining %. You can achieve the same by charging the phone 100% (overnight) going to clockwork recovery and selecting 'wipe battery stats'. Calibrated or not, the battery will last the same, regardless of what % left its showing.
Again for posterity, REPEATED DISCHARGING OF LI-ION BELOW 20% IS BAD FOR THE BATTERY, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO GET BETTER.
I am having a similar issue with a battery that I ordered off of ebay. It's 3500mah.
When I plug it in it will turn off and get stuck in a boot loop on the vibrant screen, but if it is off then it won't turn on at all when plugged in. It has been plugged in for 9 hours so far and it doesn't even show the charging animation or anything.
Normal? Or is the battery defective?
Thanks.
Ok. After charging it overnight and still nothing, I'm going to assume its broken. Thanks.

Not to derail, but how much weight does it add, and how well does the back cover fit on that big Mugen?
it fits good...

...and it does get a bit bulky,weight goes up to about double the amount,but it is so worth it,and then some!!I went from 6 hours on the stock battery to over 18 with the Mugen,and thats with heavy use(full brightness/live wallpaper,etc.).If you dont have access to a charger outside your home,this is a great buy,and you know the quality is there,unlike the uncertainty of the cheep chinese ones.Highly recommended!
The OS needs to learn your new battery. Just takes time and usage.

I am not so sure about your information. This is what DHGate, a wholesale Chinese online store wrote about the 3000mah battery for Galaxy S [not MUGGEN!]
How to use a new battery:
1. First when you received the battery,. you need to release the power in the battery, just put it into your phone without charging.
2. After the battery power is out, please charge it about 12 hours in first three times.
3. So the battery will be actived. So you can just charge it about 5-7 hours when use in the further.
You can find the URL here:
http://www.dhgate.com/ems-free-i900...-back/p-ff8080812c87c8d9012c97f06d9410ea.html
I also recommend you to read the article "Everything You Need To Know About Bump Charging And Inconsistent Battery Drain" here:

So this a controversial matter, isn't it?

No controversies at all. Your info from the link is outright wrong.
Mannymal is correct on this one.
I also have this battery. By the time I got it, Team Whiskeys roms had gotten good enough to where I didn't need an extended battery for day to day use (stock battery usually has 30-40% when i go to bed), but I do use it when I travel, so I don't have to worry about using it like crazy. The battery lasts a long time, probably like 2 or 3 days if I actually tried to drain it, at least. And it's definitely adds bulk, but it's reasonably well made and feels sturdy.
My only complaint is that I sometimes cover the speaker with my finger when I want to silence it real quick, and it doesn't work with this because the cover's so far from the speaker. But that's just my weird thing.
Also, yeah, don't kill your battery. No es bueno.
What is this? How do I read?

I use a seido innocell battery and it works great after a few over night charges. I get about 8 hours average of talk time. The battery is pretty small compared to the one accessory greeks sell. Even though the ah battery ia twenty five dollars, that is like the entry level name brand battery, it will lady you a while longer than the cheap ones on ebay, but I don't knower about the ones on ebay although I do know about the one ag sells skies down charging after about 45 percent charging. The seido is charging pretty fast for me and is half the price of a mugen, the next battery I'm going to buy will be the nugent, not because I need it, just
Cause I want to enjoy it.

I wouldn't trust chinese batteries. got 2 from ebay and one from quickshippers on amazon. one decent one from ebay. the other two don't even charge past 60% after calibration... ridiculous. I'm buying a platinum series battery right when april rolls around so i can redeem my ebucks

Me and one of my co-workers just got the Quickshippers version from Amazon... Maybe we just got a good batch but they are both working out great! New back covers that come with it fit like OEM too. Got them for $11 shipped... No issues so far...
i bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from this store. with minimal/moderate use, after 12+ hours, it was at about 74%.
finally got mine after more than 2 weeks..but they send me 3500 instead of the 2200 i ordered
personally I will not deal with handhelditems.com, very shady company. slow shipping and lousy support too.

dang it..after using for a day and charging it the second time it stopped charging ..my light blinks amber and green...i emailed for rma
All right here is my 3500 experience so far. I bought a 3500 from quickshippers on Amazon for 13.00 battery came in 3 days i placed it in and used it for 4 hrs it went dead i used old battery and wiped battery stats tried to charge 3500 battery in the phone it gave a over heat green and red led. Then i took the sd card out old battery back in and wiped again and re tried charging. it worked. I charged over night with the phone off. Unplugged at 7 am this morning it is now 11:10pm and i have 9% remaining and want to go to bed but battery is still going.
I used the phone normally not a heavy talker. But heavy internet, txt and 100 emails aday using k9, 2 gmail accounts. Today i ran wifi all day 4g for 1 hr or so youtube and a. Small amount of gaming.
For 13 bucks this is awesome. I can't wait until this battery is conditioned...

my evo..i shipped it back today for a replacement. hope i get a better one
i can vouch for the 3500 battery. Bought it and have been using it. I figured the most accurate way to measure the battery life would be to leave it unplugged and just not touch the damn thing since saying i used it for 12 hours with moderate usage is rather subjective....
To my surprise, it discharges at a rate of about 1% an hour if not doing anything on it! On stock, running CM7, it would discharge at a rate of about 5-7% (i did used to have better battery life on the stock battery with netarchy's kernal and myn's rls 5 but i love gingerbread too much and realized i don't need sense [fyi it used to discharge around 3% if phone left on with wifi enabled and not doing anything) My results are better than expected because I did also apply the "lower havs -75mv havs edit" by viper in the development thread.
So in conclusion
3500 battery + savage-zen kernal + CM7 + vipers HAVS edit = awesome battery life
FYI: I did have to charge the battery fully and reboot once it reached a hundred to actually fully charge the battery. When I got it, it charged at a rate of about 5% per minute which I thought was really fast. Once it hit 100% I rebooted, it went down to 87% and slowly charged up to 100% (over 20-25 minutes). Then from there, I got awesome battery life.
I also tried to charge the battery with the phone off at that point and it didn't continue to charge; I also plugged the battery into an external charger at that point and it didnt resume charging either so I figured it reached full capacity.

Noice! I've got the classic one from Sprint. Works wonders with an SBC kernel.
I am on my 2nd case and want to know if this is normal use or not. I use my phone without the mophie until it's almost dead. I then use the mophie and it charges the phone for maybe 2 hours and the mophie is dead. The phone will have around 75% battery after that 2 hours. I understand the case to work as the main battery when in use so I would think it should be lasting about as long as my phone's battery. Is this right or wrong?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
So the Mophie is only giving you a charge up to 75% battery life when the phone is nearly dead? If so that is odd. I ran my phone down to about 40-50% battery, flipped the Mophie switch and it charged it right up to 99% and I still had 3 lights indicating 75% of the mophie was available. So that is odd.
Are you using the phone while the Mophie is charging it? If so, then you could be reducing the charge rate, just a though.
I'd be careful. I exchanged my case today because I was having an issue where my case would become unresponsive and cut out. If I charged the case for even a second or so, I could press the battery button, see there was still charge left (often 50-75% even), and resume charging my phone. Wash, rinse and repeat in various cycles of time. You can test this by trying to charge the case briefly after it dies. Some units are just defective, which is sad with a $100 case.

I have to say I fully charged my phone and Mophie together over night and went to recharge my phone when it got down to about 40% again and the Mophie only charged it to 75% this time before it went to zero. So I think there is something odd with it indeed. I am returning mine as defective and getting a new one.
where can I get this case, any one please share the link for UK,
I checked Amazon.co.uk and found it there http://www.amazon.co.uk/2374_JP-HTC...qid=1372698105&sr=8-2&keywords=HTC+One+Mophie and it says it's in stock.

Mophies are expensive. There are some lower-cost (significantly so!) alternatives though in this forum that look pretty good-- you could check those out?

Sorry to hear that, wish you luck.
Okay so the other day I bought a brand new battery for my tab s. The old one had been overheating. And I went to charge it, but the charging stops at 84 percent and refuses to go any further.
It's not the cable that's fine. No particles in the port. I've tried wiping the cache, and a few other ways.
But nothing I do works. Does anyone know why my tab won't charge past 84%? Is there some way to fix this that I haven't tried?
Oh and please don't tell me the battery may be bad, it took so long for it to arrive because of delays. I can't sit through that again if it turns out to be bad.
How did you fit the new battery? I presume you had it done through a service centre as the Tab S battery is an internal battery!
Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
No, I did it myself. It's pretty easy actually.
I don't like bringing my tab to a repair shop as not only do they make you leave it there for days and charge way to much. But I did so with my last tablet and I don't know what they did, but a week later it stopped working all together.
A fully charged battery is approx 4.35v you can download a battery app and it will show you the voltage, So 100% should equal approx 4.35v
Try re-calibrating the battery check the guide and the link to app below.

I replaced my battery back in May that I purchased off ebay. The battery is dated 2017. My battery charges 100%. Maybe you got a older battery that was on the shelf too long, or is just defective. Also I received my battery in like 3 days. I would try buying another one from a different seller because there are good batteries out there. Ask the seller what is the manufactured date.
