Hey guys,
I really like the design of Xperia ZL but I read that the battery life is low. I do a lot of talking and gps, it would be nice to have the charge last a whole day without external battery bank.
There seems to be a 3380mah replacement battery for the Xperia Z: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/bran...Sony-Xperia-Z-L36H-L36i-S002E/1760776632.html
Does anyone know if this can be used in the Xperia ZL? It looks almost the same as pictures of Xperia ZL battery in size. Maybe the battery dimensions fit and only the connector is different?
Can the connector from the existing Xperia ZL battery be removed and put onto this 3380mah Xperia Z battery? I am not an expert at soldering but maybe can do this job.
Any ideas or experience with this kind of idea please post!

Opened up one of these batteries you can find on ebay and Amazon for anywhere between 3 to 6 pounds. I can't remember the exact weight but it was lighter than my stock battery by 15-25%. It's performance was worse than stock by quite a long way (I can usually last 2 days but even after running this battery a couple cycles, I still couldn't last a day on it 0800-1500).

Strange writing. Chaonian, Samsung I9000 and 983. Strange because I9000 is the code for the Samsung Galaxy S.
Overall, this is an all-right battery if you are going to pay only a couple pounds for an emergency battery to keep in a car or wallet (or other hostile environment where you don't care about the health of the battery). It is safe and wont explode.
If you want a proper replacement, go for an Anker (usually only £10) or some of the gold batteries.
Gold battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575001

I have i9000 one for captivate and though it's not actually 2430mah it's at least 1800mah. Maybe 2000mah, but probably not. So for $8, few day shipping, and external charger it was definitely nice

Sorry, I can't post in the ROM thread yet. Just wondering if I need to calibrate the battery every time I pull the battery. I ask because I use a wall charger for my batteries.
I have three that I rotate so I always have a fresh one with me. I feel a lot better letting the wall charger do the work so its one less thing the EVO has to do. No wear and tear on the port too.
If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Che
No, you just need to calibrate the battery each time you flash the rom; pulling the battery is fine.
Thanks. Wasn't sure if it needed to be done for each battery every time since they are different ages and have limited lifespans.
I've been doing it every time and have been getting amazing battery life. Could be the new ROM too.

I use to calibrate the battery as well until I read heard about by wiping it doesn't do anything... Correct me if I'm wrong.. just throwing that out there..
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
To be honest, I'm not 100% on what exactly happens during battery calibration.
I thought it was something done to the phone; how it saw the limits of the battery; and not something done to the battery it self.
Any one who knows a little more about it feel free to correct me.
WITH CALIBRATION

Could you link me to a working battery icon mod that shows percentage inside the icon, that works for the Xperia S, for the .50 official ICS firmware?
This one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
You'll have to edit your framework.jar for this one to work on Xperia S stock ROM
I don't know about easier alternatives

Nope, I want one that looks the same as the stock one but with the % inside the icon. I remember there was one for the XS but I can't find it anywhere.

Googling 'battery mod xperia s' brings me to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687111
A bit weird that it's in the Xperia P, U, Sola, Go Themes and Apps subforum though.

I'm looking for a mod that puts the % number inside the stock battery icon. I had this mod on the Xperia Ray and I remember there was one for the XS. I'm thankful for you trying to help me, but all the mods you linked are those god awful circles and other ugly ass mods.

I think this was the mod I used on my Xperia Ray.
Is there something like this but for the XPS?

Hi!
I'm a new proud user of Xperia Ion and I search, since I've it, for displaying the remaining percentage of battery aside of the battery icon.
My phone isn't rooted and I don't want to root it.
Thank you in advance everyone !

I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicator
It places the battery display on the top left corner; I don't think it's possible to do anything with the stock icon without rooting and deodexing.
Thank you but I donn't like to have anything on the left side

Just got an ion as an upgrade to my captivate. I was wondering how I would be able to display battery percentage with those tweaks you guys talked about. I'm on an ion from Rogers (lt28i) it is currently rooted but bl is locked and I can't unlock it. How would I go about doing this? Thanks, the help, Sony phones are much different than what I'm used to.
Hi guys,
Im in search of ways of improving the battery life of my Xperia S. and now I have an Idea, but dont actually know if it will work properly.
so here is my idea. what if I use a standard Xperia Z battery which has 2330mah in place of BA800? here's the pic of both batteries.

looking at these two pictures, you will say, they mount to the phones differently, and the size are different anyway. but, what if the xperia Z battery is smaller than BA800 and can get in in the battery slot of the Xperia S(even though not perfect)? if it does and be able to get in, connecting the leads may not be that hard to do, I think.
anyway, my question is, if I use a higher capacity battery, will it be safe? will the charging capacity that the motherboard has be able to support the requirement of the battery?
xs supports the 1750nmah battery that is in there, you may have to create a custom kernel because of sutch
no point changing your battery
i get 3 days of life out of my battery
extended battery enablefu
remove battrry killing app
remove useless apps
undervolted cpu
you can try it at your own risk,
what if the kernel does not support it? will it not work or it will just read it as 1750mah?
Things to concider
Size
Shape
Voltage
Power output
MAH
It may work, problem being it may destroy your xs if the votage ans power output is higher
If it works it will show 2300mah, xs can read a batterys actual mah
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
im not sure with the power output, but voltage are the same 3.7v
Oh wait, power output doesent matter, soz i think i wasnt thinking when i posted that
Anyway im quite sure 1750mah is the biggest that will fit in a xs
