Wildfire S mpj 5000mah extended battery not bad - HTC Wildfire S

Hi friends, I am currently using both Wildfire S(old) and Xperia UL(new). My old Wildfire S battery life is getting lower and lower. From 9am to 3pm it was drained to around 15% remaining with just light to medium usage. Thought it was battery problem so pop in an mpj 5000 extended battery purchased long time ago( I dont have to use it before). One week later, I am still very pleased with battery performance. A good option for me

I've got 3500 mAh battery and it's life changing between 24-36 hours on mobile data. Not wifi. As your guess, it's longer than 36 hours on wifi.

Hehe Like
Haha good're right, enjoy with this battery 5000mAh hah

Come back to let you guys know the battery works fine after one year, i upgraded my phone last month though.

Battery compatible Nexus - Htc desire

Hi all,
I would like to know if a battery for Nexus is compatible with the Htc Desire?
I would like to purchase this extended battery, because 1400 mah is ridiculous for a pro user.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy32hnx1-bk.htm
Thanks for the answer!
Even if the battery was compatible (which I don't know), it wouldn't physically fit under the back cover on your Desire... They supply a replacement back cover (for the N1) with the battery, it is required because the battery is substantially thicker than the stock battery
P.
But the back cover between nexus and desire aren't the same? If the back cover for the extended battery fit on nexus, it would fit the desire too?
No, the Desire has a unibody back cover, the nexus battery cover is about half the size. So the cover won't fit
But yes, other than that, N1 batteries are compatible with the Desire. So either buy a spare 1400mAh or wait for HTC to release an extended battery for the Desire.
Ok then, I will wait for the extended battery for Desire! Can't wait.
Thanks for your answers!
I dont like to be told this my self but for once i really worked for me =)

While you are waiting, why not try something like JuiceDefender or similar? The free version works for me on the Desire and extends the battery life quite noticeably.
Just a thought...

Thanks for the tip!
But no matter what I configure the power saving with software, having a big battery is more comfortable. Before having the Desire, I had a htc hero with 2200 mah battery. I can tell it can last 48 hours at least with an intensive usage (twitter update 15 min, push mail with 5 email adress, facebook update 1 hour, web surfing 1 hour per day, musique 1 hour per day). The Desire is awesome, but it can't last a day with a intensive (pro) usage.

so with heavy use , how long can i expect the battery to last me? if all day then im set. i use twtter ,facebook. mxit, listen to music a lot. read a lot. thats about it. im getting my desire this thursday
i am curious of this Seidio battery will fit, the battery is made for the incredible though, but since the desire is almost the same as the incredible.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BASI17HHRV&Show=ExtInfo
I'm not sure if it does fit, but Seidio are scam artists. Their batteries only have about 80-85% of the claimed capacity.
So that 1750mAh battery will clock in at about 1450mAh.

Extended Battery that is not bulkier? (can use original battery door)

hi does anyone know of an actual battery that has more capacity but does not require a bulkier battery door?
and most importantly, that it DOES give you more battery life?
because i once bought a 2000MaH battery for my HTC TP2 on ebay and that was the biggest scam i fell for, the stupid battery gave approximately the exact same battery life as the old battery... which was 1500MaH

Yeah the batteries that do not require a bigger back door are all going to perform the same oem or worse. So you can get a cheap charger and and extra oem battery and do that,or say **** it and get the big ass battery

Here's one: Mugen Power Extended Battery 1800mAh for HTC Evo 4G
However, the reality is that Manufacturer claims a 20% improvement in battery life. Depending on your use that may or may not be significant enough. I'm just running stock battery w/ custom ROM (Damage Control) and some system tweaks which significantly improved battery life (errr, at least resulted in less battery drain

The "1800mAh" Mugen tested identical to the 1500mAh OEM battery.. save your money. http://batteryboss.org/results/NewMugen1800mAh_vs_NewOEM1500mAh.png
IMO the best option is to tweak your settings.. Im getting as much as 30 hours out of my OEM 1500 battery now. I also have 3 spare
batteries in case I ever need more juice. they are quite small and fit in a wallet fine. i've yet to actually need one. You could also try
this, which was told to me by an HTC Rep (and it for real almost tripled my battery life!)
"To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well."
you only need to do it once, and then again each time you flash a new ROM or do an OTA update.
did this method of turning the phone on and off and charging the battery for another hour improve battery life for anyone?

30 hours? you joking right?
If you getting that much why in the world would you have the need for an extra battery let alone three?
I call BS
That's hardly BS.
I easily get 30+ hours out of a single charge.
Right now im at 22 hours with ~45% battery life on stock 1500mAh.
It's a rip-off to get an extended battery because they don't perform as well..
I am waiting on a 1750mAh spare battery that fits with the standard back plate. If it works well, I will advise.
what is your up time though. i have an 3500mah extended battery and i don't get 30 hours still

I keep 4g on
I keep data always enabled too.
Do you?
I get over 9 Hours with BT, and data on all day. I have a task manager that shuts things down every 30 mins "IGNORE LIST messages, gv dialer, clock, task manager" Without it I was getting 4 hours. I make calls and surf the web and watch my porn clips during the day, so it does get used. I sent for the 1750 yesterday so I will update this after I get it that thing going. And the new batterys do have to be charged and discharge like 20 times before the hold a charge as well as they say it can.. Batterys on ebay=joke, buy the name brand ones. I used to make r/c battery packs and they have a peak run time in life, and its not the first time you charge them. It takes time..
I went to eBay and bought the "HTC EVO 4G BATTERY 1800+Dock USB CHGR SPRINT TOUCH PRO2" from vendor Chichitec. Vendor is located in California, so no sketchy chinese vendor, high ratings and fast delivery.
I haven't really timed how much more usage I'm getting with this new battery, but it does last longer, trust me.
The separate wall charger also seems to charge the OEM battery better than just by using the usb cable on the phone.
Not a bad deal for $19.98 at your door.

I get anywhere from 20-40 hours on a single charge(OEM battery) depending on my usage running Damage Control 3.2.3 with netarchy's 3.7.5 kernel, setCPU and Advanced Task Manager. I have setcpu keep the CPU @ 245mhz when the screen is off and 245mhz-1113mhz(on demand) when the screen is on.
I also use Advanced Task Manager($0.99) to kill out the programs I'm using with a widget/button. Whenever I'm done using the device I quickly hit the kill button(which doesn't kill the normal essentials) and shut the screen off which down-clocks the proc to 245mhz.
Today for instance:
-unplugged at 07:00
-GPS on, Wifi Off unless needed, 4G Off, Bluetooth On during travel
-beautiful widgets updating weather every hour via cell triangulation
-stock weather updating every hour
-used for slacker via the AUX jack for 45mins-1hr on the way to work
-1 bluetooth call in between listening to slacker on the car
-about 10-15 calls today while at work
-about 10 emails came in and I read them
-browsed web for prob 20mins during lunch on office wifi
-used for slacker via the AUX jack for 45mins-1hr on the way home
-rebooted device
-made 1 non-bluetooth call, sent a few text messages, and then posted this
I'm now at 61% battery remaining and probably won't charge this until lunch or on the way home from work tomorrow. I would give my up time vs awake time but I restarted the phone an hour ago so those figures aren't there anymore.
So, BS? I think not.
I have read what batteryboss has said but I can tell you I get 3-4 hours longer use from my 2000Mah battery. Now I am seeing a big drop off with Froyo but it is on all my batteries, even the OEM.

Will a new original Samsung battery improve battery life after 2 years?

I've own the SGS3 almost since launch day. Soon it will be 2 years old.
I'm getting 3 hours SOT and 24 hours total.
I'm thinking of buying a new original 2100 battery to see if it improves battery life. Would it?
Anyone has tried this?
Thanks.

I haven't tried it yet since I'm hopefully getting a new phone soon but I do believe it would help, maybe an extra hour SOT because I know my battery was amazing back 2 years ago and now I get the same times you do if not worse.
After a year on mine I was only getting 1700mah, So now I get a new Anker 2200mah battery every 6 months because they are just as good as original but do last longer.
Theoretically yes! battery life should improve, as you will be having a new battery.
My battery is just over a year old and i get around a 1d12h worth of battery time and roughly 3.5 to 4 hours SOT.
I recently bought a Pisen 2100mah battery off the internet and for the same SOT i got more usage. maybe 1d 20h nearing the 2d use.
n.b; wifi is always on. i use 3G for like 30 mins during a day
from what I've heard, newer generations of batteries, like ones that ship with SGS3, should not be drained to 0% with phone shutting down. it was advised to charge at low percents like 1% to 5% while phone is still on

Of course it would and if you dont have problem with size and weight i recomend you to get samsung's 3000mhA battery. Why not getting a bigger battery
It depends how old the battery is though. All Li-ion batteries degrade over time, even if they aren't used. So if you get a 2 year old battery, that has been sitting on a shelf somewhere, it won't help as much as you'd hoped. Depending on the temperature and charge level it was stored at, it could have lost a lot of its capacity.
So the trick is to get a newly manufactured battery, which isn't so easy since most sellers don't write this information.

Since a bigger battery means the battery is thicker,the original back cover wouldn't fit,then you need to use a specific cover which would make your phone heavier.
Right now I am in this trouble,I got a Onite 4500mAh extended battery with a blue cover,hopefully it's a great product, shipping as listed and battery performs exactly as listed,I just don't like the cover,it made my phone looked heavier.I was wondering maybe I should choose a power bank and put back my OEM one on.

This is true. You also need to account for your usage. If you do a lot of activity that heats your battery up (games, navigation, etc.) Then even a shelf stored battery will help since heat is another Li-ion killer.
My S3 was 2 years old in May of this year. I have been having issues with the battery and charging. My USB charging port has the classic loose connection issue as does the headphone jack. I see the fix and YouTube videos to repair but have not yet done that. I last week got my new OEM Samsung battery and the external charging kit. I just upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 NDA8 despite being eligible for a new phone discount from Sprint. My S3 is a 32gb unit and I will not buy a S5 with only 16gb, no way no how.
The new battery is performing very well. It is so close on updating to 4.4.2 that I can not be certain that there were not issues with my rooted 4.1.2 build after so many months. For sure the new battery is lasting longer. I think it was worth the $42.03 spent on the charger and battery as my USB port is in question and I can always swap batteries and charge with the external charger.
My S3 has a new lease on life and I can wait for new tech before upgrading. xda developers forum - root - and the desire for liberty is a powerful combination.
why not try using wireless charging? the qi reciever + charger should not cost you mote than 35 bucks. and you can still use your current battery, battery cover, & nfc, unlike powermat.

A 2 year battery will definitely be worn-out. Depending on the charging cycle count, could be only a 20%,but maybe a 50 or 70%.
I bought a Zerolemon 7000mAh battery few months a go, I'm usually getting 4-5 days on normal usage, and 11-13h of screen on.

Extended battery upgrade

Hi there,
My stock battery is quite dreadful, I get about 1 or 2 hours screen on time. I don't think its capacity is anywhere near 1800mah.
I just ordered a new battery off eBay, claiming to be 2300mah. It is not the One X+ battery, which is 2100mah. This was only £4 so I'm aware this could be poor quality. Delivery is Thursday, I'll be sure to post my comments about how the battery performs.
I also ordered a battery case (2400 mah), which has a flip cover, cost £14. I'm prone to smashing phone screens otherwise I would have gone for the crazy 6000mah mugen case. Delivery on this is very slow but again I will post a mini review about it in here.

I was going to buy that exact battery. There was some guy on youtube used that battery and he said that it's quite good. Sadly the seller does not ship to my country. I ended up ordering this
So I just installed the battery. At one point just before I put the copper sheet back on I realised I re installed the old battery haha.
Phone has been charging for about half an hour, and the temperatures are not good. 45°C. It is not because the copper sheet wasn't placed properly, since I can feel the heat on the back of the phone. I guess that is due to the battery maybe being poor quality (high internal resistance?), since it was only £4.
Sometime tomorrow I comment on how long it lasts compared to the old battery. Previously I could get 2 hours MAX screen on time. I think it should really be about 5 hours now, with a 2300 mah battery.

Have you received your battery yet? I'm interested to see how it performs, I don't think anyone else in the forums has got one.
After using this new 2300 mah battery for 2/3 days, I am still very disappointed with battery life. Battery life is still exactly the same, I get about 2 hours screen on if I'm conservative. I may try CM11 later to see if battery life improves. I am doubtful it will though, since it did not improve battery life with the old battery.
Going to run 'Nova Battery Test' tonight and will post results. Also have some screenshots incoming.

The seller said that I would receive it in 3 weeks time. A lot of waiting. And if I receive it, I would wait until I'm done with the exams before changing the battery. Maybe at the end of June. Haha. But the guy from youtube said that he got a large improvement using the battery now.
So today I've been quite impressed by battery performance. I got 3 and a half hours screen on time! Nearly double what I had with the old battery. This is still not enough to get me through a day (battery came off charge at 4:30, died at 11:30) but I am still pleased. Hopefully can achieve this performance consistently!
Battery performance is now poor again, 90 minutes screen on time. I don't know how I got 3 hours screen on before. Seems it was a one off? I am now saving for a new phone.
How's the battery holding up? I just got my battery replaced after two years from HTC repair centre and it seems to be as new. Got the same old 1800mah battery. I'll post screen shots after the battery has depleted to 5%

overall the phone is as good as new... i am getting an average screen on time of around 3hrs and 15mins.. this may sound less, however i spend atleast 7-8hrs listening to music hence the screen time is less in my case. but if i reduce my music usage then the max i have got is 3 hrs 40 mins... pretty impressive imo... i might use it for another 6 months or so before upgrading,,,,

[REVIEW] 3500 mAh Chinese battery - India

Hi Guys,
After searching for Samsung made 2000 mAh extended battery in Bangalore for few days, I gave up and settled with something else. I thought I will buy Anker batteries but couldnt find any good deal.
Eventually I ended up buying 3500 mAh extended battery + backpanel from this link - http://www.ebay.in/itm/SAMSUNG-GALA...Mobile_Accessories&hash=item19ecfd2713&_uhb=1
This is a Chinese battery and I did not expect it to be full 3500 mAh but anything above 2500 mAh was fine with me. The prices mentioned at the above link are varying bigtime - I bought it in 1039 INR, 2 days back it was 888 and now its INR 1200.
The bulky backpanel is a must to house this extended battery because of which-
1) Phone becomes quite heavy
2) S2 Lost its beauty, slimness(figure ) and sex appeal
3) Feels Bulky in pocket
But thankfully it does what its meant for. Here are the battery life stats so far-
First charge took almost 6 hours to reach 100% but I let it charge for 10-11 hours.
~37 hours backup
-3 hours 38 mins SOT
- 30-40% screen brightness
Wifi on for ~15 hours
was at 53% after 26 hours, and the drop after that was pretty fast.
2nd charge - took close to 4.5 hours on usb charging
~ 27 hours
- 30-40% screen brightness
~3 hours SOT
-with heavy usage, backing up apps/data, restoring/installing lots of apps, backing up rom and flashing rom thrice
- noticed that the drop after 50% status is very fast. (5-7 % per hour)
3rd charge - took approx 5.5 hours to charge fully (with me installing multiple apps and stuff)
- 43 hours backup
- 30-40% screen brightness
- ~2.5 hrs SOT
- wifi on for ~20 hours, ~40 mins calls, flashing kernels and normal messaging.
Baseline - Apart from the compromise I made on looks of the phone, I am really happy with the battery backup. I could get that kinda backup time only while keeping the phone in standby and very less SOT. I found that the upper part of phone heats up (as usual when involved with heavy activities) but the battery was totally cool. So my fears of it exploding are subsiding with time
Few pics of the phone, battery and backpanel are attached.
P.S. Will be updating the battery stats for next few charges.
I am thinking of buying a similar battery but i dont know because the s2 will become heavier and will lose its slim shape.
Anyway, does the extended battery make big difference to your battery life?

With my 1650 mAh battery I could get 3+ hours SOT but then it wont last for 24 hours. With the new battery I am getting 1.5+ times more battery life than it was previously. The imp thing would be to see for how long i get it (as it is Chinese) :laugh:
and yeah, with this battery - bye bye slimness and lightness for S2.

Massive! I was tempted too, but I'll resort to some external battery pack; I can't stand seeing the sII with this big fat back

I was a lil demotivated too before buying it but now this big-assed-s2 feels like a new phone to me. To top that, battery backup is pretty much better than the stock. Its like atleast 1.5-2 times more than stock which matters to me a lot.
I am happy with it :cyclops:
