Verizon Extended battery does not work

i just bought the official extended battery for the Droid x off of the verizon online store. the battery worked fine for the first day i bought it and now it makes my phone randomly shut off when i am using it. i can use my phone for about 5 - 10 minutes before the battery causes it to shut off randomly. i have no idea why it does this because it says the battery is fully charged and i had it in the charger over night and it still does this. i feel like i have wasted 50$ on this battery and i cant even use it now. does any one know if there is a way i can fix this?

Call verizon and see what they say? They'll probably have you bring it to a store and check it out. If they replicate the problem they'll fix it or give you a new one.

I have 2 of them and I get about 16 he's each with heavy use.

There seem to be a decent amount of lemons in this batch of batteries judging by the forums. Call them; get a new one. Mine works wonderfully.

I have the extended since then end of August and notice significant improvement- My thought is something is wrong with that battery.

[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.

Camera use forcing shut down

This may be a dumb question but it's a new one on me.
I gave my wife my gs3 when I got a gs4 and her battery life is horrible due to all the games, candy crush etc and fb, so I bought her a spare battery, just a cheap one from cell phone shop.net.
With the cheap battery in every time she uses the camera the phone shuts down, I used the phone for a year with wicked sensations rom with no problems at all (wish Dazed would make the rom for the gs4! LOL)
Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm sure it's due to the cheap battery, but you never know.
Thanks in advance

I had nothing but problems when I had a cheap battery, went back to oem battery real quick. FB is a battery and RAM hog. My suggestion to use m.Facebook.com. Doesn't run in the background. Stays signed in until you clean browser cookies. This should make a big difference in battery life. You won't get notifications, but you can set up Facebook sms messaging, which works almost the same.

Bargain Batteries are not always such a Bargain. I would highly suggest staying away from " Bargain Batteries " . I can tell you from experience, it is sometimes more costly. Among the issues I have come across are, Battery not reading correctly. Or not at all. Fluctuations in Battery voltage. Battery causing the device to run hot. The battery becoming unviable after only a short amount of time. Battery causing the Device to Reboot. Battery causing the Device to act erratic, due to unstable Voltage discharge. Battery not charging correctly. Plus even stranger things. These are just some of the issues I have come across on " Bargain Batteries " . In one Drastic case on a friends Device the Battery over heated while charging, and melted the back cover of his Device. Do some research before purchasing an aftermarket battery for your device. Read the reviews. Check the companies reputation, and be informed.

I figured it was a issue with the cheap battery, thanks for the info, I didn't realize it could cause issues that severe! I guess I'll either have to buy her a better battery or show her how to stretch batt life out!

I have a cheap battery that I bought thinking it was a genuine Samsung battery but turned out to be a counterfeit battery. It works ok but does not last quite as long as the original battery. I have found that if I use the camera with flash the phone will reboot if I am under 50% or so on that battery.

Yes I've seen even weirder confirmed battery issues than the ones I listed. Get yourself a New quality battery. Then I would suggest checking out THIS kernel, and the thread HERE to be on your way towards great Battery life.

Have this issue with a cheap battery (OEM died and I'm poor lol). Found it to be the flash for me. If I disable flash I can take pics without the phone dying. No other issues I can find (other than crappy battery life)

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery [Initial Charge]

Hi GNexers,
I've just got a Galaxy Nexus (GSM) extended battery (eBay ~ /itm/120832462058), and wondering what is the best way to get started.
I mean, should I drain it until die and charge for couple hours after the full charge? Or just start using it and follow the usual charging practice?
I've been reading some threads and blogs about extended batteries, but they all seem to talk about how long it holds the charge, NFC compatibility and such. I appreciate even if you can point me to a previous thread if my question answered already.
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know you should drain it completely and then charge it for a day and a night.

I would like to know your experience with your new extended battery. Do share your battery stats, as even I'm thinking of buying one.
Thanks!

New battery won't charge past 84%

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!

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.
