new battery with move capacity - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo) and just changed from the OEM 1450 mah battery to a aftermarket 2430 mah.
Still using the same rom, only changing battery.
Being rooted is it enough to just wipe battery stats in recovery (with all the required steps) or should I use a battery calibration app like battery calibrator from Jon Richards?
Is there a difference at all between the 2?
thanks

When I am using the app mentioned above. I guess the battery is not really compatible with those functions 'cause the info are all fracked up. Using the original battery with works fine.
Is an app like this really worth it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765609
Thanks again.

new battery

Hi,
I got a new aftermarket battery, same size but more power: is there anything I should do (delete battery stats, manually or through an app, etc...) to have it work properly?
thanks

Your good to go bud the Android system will take care of everything. Wiping battery stats is a thing of the past.

Nothing special to do.
Problem is, if the battery is the same size, its probably the same (or even less) mAh capacity as stock, and just being sold as larger w/ a different label

in theory battery is without NFC so the advertised 1900mAh should be real
is tehre a way to check the real mAh of a battery?
Battery Monitor Widget shows you the mAh of your battery,
By the way, Did you tray to dial the code *#*#4636#*#* on the phone, and then go to the option "battery info"?

As with any battery I suggest charge and discharge FULLY two or three times to condition the battery. Don't top it off for the first bit. If its not genuine, I wouldn't hold my breath. Don't let it sit discharged in your phone lest it leak. My 2cents.
if its the same size as the oem its not 1900mah.

[Q] New battery issues

Hi all who stumble upon my question. I recently purchased a 2500mAh battery from ebay but I am having a few issues with my phone/power/charging. Firstly I did a battery stats wipe when the phone was on <1%. Now it always says the battery is on 100% until it dies, even when the phone is offline and the battery is dead it says it's at 100%. This also means that the battery won't charge to its full capacity I have tried wiping the battery stats again once it is charged but unfortunately it makes no difference. Is it because of the rom that i'm on? and i preferably don't want to do a data wipe. I am using the heaven droid rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801634
Furthermore, i'm finding that i don't get much more usage out of this battery than with the original 1500mAh battery (before i was having this problem...) any tips?
Thanks for reading this, Aaron
Was it an official battery or cheap knock off, if it's the latter I'd bin it and buy an official one.

yeah it was a cheap one but it is bigger and heavier than a genuine ba750 so it seemed legit to me

It is, but the system is locked to 1500 only. After it dies reinsert battery and it would continue the left juice

This is getting annoying now
ok i've kinda tried your suggestion and the battery has been lasting longer. But i flashed AOKP JB and i still have the same problem. Although the battery now says it's at 1%. I performed a data wipe etc. This is getting annoying now :'(
This thread may help out.

Try this : Download from play store "root browser", open it and go to /system and open file "build.prop" (as text) and edit line :
ro.semc.batt.capacity=1500 (the 1500 replace with your new capacity)!
Then save and close file, reboot phone.

[Q] battery calibration

Say I were to but an extended battery, would you recommend calibrating it ever? If so from which method, clock work mod recovery or android app?

Same Question
Im also interested inknowing the answer to this question. Thanks in advance!
I am on my 5th charge on my Laza 3800 mAh extended battery (and case) and they are a perfect fit. I never calibrated it and it's fine. With the stock OEM battery, I have to recharge it around noon everyday and now it last easily a day or 2. The only thing is that even though it claimed to have NFC but it did not seem to work, but I don't use it anyway.

I've seen good things about one on Amazon. Which ROM are you using? Also, which kernel?

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.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
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. ?

NexPlay and extended battery help

Hi.
My name is Andre.
I have an xperia play that I've been using as a pocket emulator for years.
I have the NexPlay Rom installed, as well the recommended LuPuS CM9 Kernel and .58 Enhanced firmware.
Recently I bought one of these 4500 mAh battery and back cover from ebay.
The original charge it came with lasted a good while so I really believe this is not a fake battery.
But I can't get the phone to recognize the new battery capacity and charge it. The phone seems to only charge it up to the original 1500 mAh.
I've added the following line to build.prop (the line wasn't present) through the BuildProp Editor app:
ro.semc.batt.capacity=4500
But even after clearing the cache, davik cache and resetting the battery stats, I see no changes.
Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it.
sorry i cant help, but a 4500mah battery sound nice, when i had the xplay i had a 2450 mah and worked fine, the only problem is it decayed its capacity very very quickly

Thanks anyway.
Since my original post I've done more reading, searching and testing.
Turns out there is nothing functionally wrong with the phone, other than it still thinking the battery is 1500 mah for battery duration calculations.
The charge percentage is correct, and the phone is charging the battery until it reaches a voltage of 4.2, which means it's full.
It's the battery itself that is only taking in about 2800 mah. The seller said he would send me another one.
