Hello folks..
I have a HTC Desire CDMA and I bought a Extended battery (3500 mAh to be exact) and this battery lasts just about as long as my normal battery does. It is thick enough to be 3 of my regular batteries, and it is alot heavier, so i know it wasnt a scam, plus there was good reviews... but, The only difference that I get with this extended battery, is that it stays at 100% for about 3 hours, and then starts booming down the charts on battery level.. I mean, i normally have about 25% at the end of the day with this extended battery, but i figure that it should atleast last 2 days on a full charge.... with it being 3500 mAh.. I mean, wow... Can someone help me? Im using a trusted stable battery saving kernel and rom.. so I know that's not the problem..
bump.........?

Do you have a custom rom? Try to download SpareParts from the market and unplug the charger when it says "charged". For my Samsung i5500 and a cyanogen rom the phone says "charged" a lot of time before the real charge...i think that the batterystats file isn't calibrated on your new battery, and so it says charged before...if you have a custom rom i think it's useful (if not necessary) to do a battery ricalibration (i.e charge the phone until the 100% then wipe the battery stats via recovery and then let the phone discharge until the 0%)
I don't know if this will help you, i hope!
I think
When i go back home tomorrow and pick up my extended battery, i will try this. thanks.
edit: yes i have a custom rom. it's oxygen.
hey guyz first of all greetings and sorry for bad english
okay i got my gs2 a couple of month ago and iam enjoying it allot
but i got one proplem okay the battery
it doesnot continue 12 hours with mid use
and the bigger problem its takes 3- 4 hours of charging (really stupid)
so a couple of days i heard about anker 1900 and its great since it adds capacity but without changing the physical size
any way my only 2 questions about it
1-does it harm my phone on longterm in any way
2-charging time (most imp for me )
greetings again
I had the Anker battery for my SGS, and it works the same way as the OEM, if not better lasting.
Charging time is about the same, if not more, because of the higher capacity.
If you guy the two pack with the charger, you can charge two batteries at one time, if it makes things easier.
crap so no changes in charging time :S do u know any other way to fix that ???
Are you charging via USB of AC outlet? AC outlet is a lot faster. But because of the higher capacity, it'll be longer. I personally don't think it's that long, maybe 2-3 hours for a 0-100% charge. Just charge it over night?
You should consider rooting you phone and installing a custom rom and custom kernel. One of the main reasons I did it is to be increase my battery life.
Before I use to go 8 hours max with my battery. Now that I'm on a custom rom with custom kernel I'm doing 15 hours easily.
Besides that there are other benefits too.... So check it out

guyz u really not getting me battery life isnot that imp for me i just want it to chrage faster it takes 3 hours on ac my brothers arc s charges fully in less than an hour
Try looking for another model number charger. I recieved another charger ordered from Samsung, for my SGS2, and it charged way faster than the one I got with the phone.

it might as well charge in 10 minutes, it is a crappy device nonetheless
to answer to your real question
i am using 2 anker batteries since september.
0 problems, and if you get the set with 2 batteries and the charger, it is IMPOSSIBILE that you will ever need anything else than that, since you can simultaneously charge your phone and the spare battery.
And plus...its really cheap
Small advice though, since there has been some bad batch of ankers...before trying to charge them with the phone, try a couple of charges with their dedicated charger, better safe than sorry.
any idea if anker doesnt charge when they battery is in the phone when they are left with a certain percentage? cos both my battery doesnt charge when i fully discharge the battery. only till a certain % it works as normal charging with the battery in phone.
Got a few chinese batteries...for backup if need be.
Noticed the 3.7 vs 3.8 V.
I know nothing about this and assume they wouldnt send out product not suited for the device...but wanted to ask anyway.
Any concerns?
Thanks
I've read about a Swedish guy trying some cheap and "bigger" Chinese batteries. Even though it claimed to be capable of 6500mAh is was not better than the original 3100mAh. Same discharge speed or worse.
They're the same size. Just wondering about using 3.7 V batteries when ours are 3.8.
The voltage needs to be the same as ours. Don't get anything else.

sorry for popping in ur thread. but i think its good to share/ask here ..
i have a galaxy s3 clone .. on the battery it says 3.7v 2100mah and 10.8 WH obviously the WH rating is false .. but i looked at the battery compartment on the device and it says 3.8 volt .
so what figure to believe ?
since i have the battery and multimeter so before going for replacement how should i determine which voltage battery do i need ?
i am sure that the 3.7 volts batteries are of one chemistry and the 3.8volts are of other chemistry .. so mixing is obviously dangrous..
If you originaly have a 3.8v battery DO NOT replace with a 3.7v.
I have a GN II and my original battery is 3100 Mah and 3.8 volts Samsung. I'm a battery freak and try to make my battery last as long as i can using undervolting, JD, etc. So i decided to purchase a Chinese battery for my phone which was 4200 Mah. I did not realize it was 3.7v as it does not say it on the battery but looking into it further it does say it in the description when i purchased it on ebay, and i obviously overlooked it.
I removed my stock battery and installed the new replacement. It soft bricked my phone immediately and was stuck in a boot loop and i could not get it to come on. Thank God i was able to boot into recovery. I had to reset, reload my rom, and restore everything again. What a hassle.
So idecided to try it again as i really wanted to test the performance of this new battery. This time it worked and booted OK. I fully charged it three full cycles, and started testing. Long story short it discharged faster than the stock battery, and when i put a load on it the battery discharged very quickly. Total waste of time using these batteries. Don't do it.

HI,
I have the same s3 clone, now looking for the suitable battery. I tried with the original galaxy s3 battery but it doesn't work. Have you figured it out which battery does work in this clone? Thanks in advance!
Hi I currently have mikg rom installed on my evo but my battery life is still horrible,, does anyone know any roms that use less juice on the battery.. thats all im really concerned about? thanks
I always liked the TN Shooter ROM. Sense 3.0, working 4G, life is good. I cannot say anything about battery life though, because I use two extended batteries, but from what I can tell battery life isn't too bad. Link --

How old is your battery? When i first rooted my EVO, it could sleep overnight and lose 2%, and after a year, it wouldn't stay on 100% for more than 30 seconds. I could literally sit and watch the battery drain at this point. Age I'd a big factor in determining the battery life.
Another big factor is whether or not you are using an HTC battery, or if you purchased a 3rd party battery. Just keep those things in mind.

First things first. This belongs in Q/A . That being said. Did you do a Clean Install of the Rom ? Did you restore any Data ? What Kernel are you using ? Also this has been mentioned, but I will reiterate. If your Battery is old, or if you are using a knock off Battery it affects the Battery life.

After a long period of battery use,it will degrade as time goes on and you will lose battery cells and the battery gets weaker and wont keep a full charge,the best practice is to charge your phone fully,then let it discharge until it shuts itself off,then recharge again and do the same thing,then recharge and the battery will stay charged a little longer,is what this supposidly does is try building the cells back,but its only temporary,especially when you have an worn battery,the best roms to use for battery life,from my experience is aamikam and Tommys roms,alot of time it will also have to do with the kernel,especially if its an OC'ed kernel,look for an SBC(superior battery charge) kernel.
ok well idk what kernal it is because i cant figure out how to add one yet,, but maybe it was the batterys i bought this extended battery off ebay which had a high mah rating i thought it would last longer but it didnt wasnt a oem battery i didnt know there was a difference so i went ahead and bought a factory battery today .. thanks
Try discharging the battery than give it a full charge. If that doesn't help, try a Rom called SOS X/N.

BTW not sure if you have one or ever heard of anker batteries but anyways they sell a charger with the battery. My original EVO battery started to die very fast. I bought an anker and it seems whenever I charge the phone via USB charger vs the anker battery charger the battery will die much faster. You should try buying the anker battery charger & use the charger to charge your battery, do not use the USB cord to charge it & see if that helps any
Hi all!
I use the gadget about 2 years or more. My Battery is very bad... 1.5 hours of screen!
Can you tell me, where i can buy new REALY original battery for this phone. (in US).

I've seen good things about one on Amazon. Which ROM are you using? Also, which kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T989
My guess is a battery issue...not a bad battery tho.
Why not get gsam and post some screenshots after a good long drain?
Your setup, usage and apps have surely changed over time. Something is likely draining your battery.
Read the first 3 posts in the battery thread in my signature.... Its for the N5...but most info is universal.

Ok. I've seen some good things about Anker batteries (like this one:http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-T...H-I515/dp/B0078WL4YO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)
With a new battery, do a full charge, full discharge (until phone dies and will not turn back on), and another full charge.
+1 for the anker 2200mah replacement. It's cheaper than the oem battery. It lacks nfc though. And as for the whole "battery memory" thing, don't worry about it. Just pop the new battery in and use it however. I just bought the anker to replace the original battery in my wife's s2, her battery life has doubled.
I just bought the Anker 2200 mAh battery and its great. My phone does last a little longer on standby, but my screen-on time hasn't increased by very much (I typically get about 3-4 hrs screen time).
I'm running CarbonROM + Wildkernel and other various tweaks for battery life. My phone spends most of its time in deep sleep.
When you open your battery stats, what things are taking the most out of your battery? I've found the app Wakelock Detector to help a lot in tracking down battery drains.

GSAM gives a much easier to understand picture of battery usage. If you're rooted, get Gsam root companion as well to see held awake stats. ?
