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.

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.
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!
Hello, I replaced my stock battery that had 1450mah to one that has 1600mah and it only charges to 1450mah. I erased the battery stats and changed the rom, but still charges to 1450mah whatever I try.
I even tried with the Battery Calibrator from John Richards that I used a long time ago to fix the 15% battery shutdown and when I go to learning mode it says that my battery has a capacity very high, like 27000mah, which is obviously wrong, but I can't change it to another value with this battery in. Please help me to change the maximum current to 1600mah.
Thanks!
Anybody?
You bought a cheap aftermarket battery.
This battery won't work with batterycalibrator app.
The registers of this battery cannot be read.
So all values you get are not reliable.
Two beer or not two beer, that's the question
Ok, but isn't there a way to manually change the value of the battery capacity, no matter what battery I have in it?
Redmi 1s high capacity battery of 3600
i am only sharing link. i am nit responsible if anything goes wrong
konpson brand maximum charging voltage 4.35v
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...Ah-Batterie-Batterij-Bateria/32360795916.html
HSA brand maximum charging voltage 4.2v
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32365009087.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail
for calculating battery capacity
Look for Wh and V printed on the battery.
mAh = Wh × 1000 / V
Example:Samsung Galaxy S3: 3.8 V 7.98 Wh7.98Wh × 1000 / 3.8V = 2100mAh
Looks too good to be true.However,it might be real,considering that the charging time is 5 hours.I believe this is a protection measure to not overheat the battery,after all it's not an original one.However,I don't understand how are they going to limit the current which enters the battery as that's dictated by the micro controller in the phone.In my opinion,after couple of months of usage,it will broke.
However,if you decide to buy it try to use it only when you don't need the phone too much,so the phone doesn't heat up a lot.I believe heating it up too much might cause the battery to swell and worst case scenario,it will blow up.

are you asking for capacity then dont know
Got the HSA 3600mah battery today from aliexpress. Have attached some screenshots.
Inserted the battery into phone. It fit perfectly and charging it now.
Please suggest some android app that displays the correct battery information. So that we can validate what i received from HSA.
Will also update the charging hours it took and how long one full charge lasted for me with HSA battery in the coming days.

How much did you pay it finally ?
As i checked in the Aliexpress they are charging too much for delivery , so did you choose any particular vendor ?
And finally keep posted abt the performance of the battery
it was free shipping only... as previously mentioned paid only 595.
I am not able to find any app that displays the correct mah of the battery.
Its getting charged in 5hrs using redmi charger...
Got an usage time of more than 24hrs.. which i was already getting in my stock xiaomi battery... with dual sim, data and Wi-Fi usage.
So i guess the battery is similar to the stock one given by Xiaomi.
Should try konpson next as suggested by deepak kumar android.
Try better battery state app

You can use "AIDA" to see battery information, also "Ampere" is good enough to show battery information like ~Input Current, Output Current etc.
Used AIDA app as suggested.
Attached Screenshot of data showed by AIDA app with HSA battery.
Thanks for the support

but temperature is very low as compared to stock. almost12-13 degree less
Haha
If it's exactly same size and type how on Earth it can have more capacity? Use simple logic guys. It's scam.

The battery for redmi 1s (BM41) its 2050 mah and is same size as the battery for redmi 2 (bm44) 2200 mah.
Does anyone tried a different battery capacity? I found a 3000 mAh on ebay, did anyone tried it?
Do you think is harmful?
Thank you in advance
Is this battery built by HTC was is a third-party battery that is working with HTC?
It isn't a HTC battery, is a spare with more capacity, but I don't know if it's harmful or not, I didn't found anything in internet about it...
I don't think the battery capacity will harm the phone, maybe just the battery will hold longer or not, depends on it's quality.
The point is: does the actual stock battery has a fix number of cycles or whatever? The actual battery has 2850 mah capacity, the new one 3000...the difference of 150 mah will be recognized by the mobile? This is my concern..

The phone will charge and discharge the extra 150mAh but the correct capacity will not be reported by software.
Anyway 2850 vs 3000 is a little change, and if the battery quality is lower than HTC original battery maybe you'll not see any difference or maybe the battery will hold shorter.

From what i've seen on the Galaxy Gear S forums, somebody fitted a bigger battery inside and it worked just fine.
And his watch now lasts a few more days.
Anyway, for 150mAh more is simply not worth the risk.
