Does anyone have the xda2 extended battery? i would like to know more about it, what is the size, capacity, will it posible to charge on the xda II cradle's 2nd battery slot?
Check out ebay for batteries. This forum is not the place for it.
Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find anything!
I have problems with charging while using copilot and spotify!
I have a 1A car charger but it still drains the battery!
Also I have noticed that using the hdmi while playing games or watching movies with the original charger also drains battery instead of charging!
Does anyone know a solution to this, or am I the only one with this problem?

I had this problem with my old Nexus One and a 0,5A car charger, but after this experience I bought an original HTC 1A car charger together with my SGSII and I can run navigation (Sygic) and even listen to music at the same time with no problems and the battery is still charging.
My suggestion try a different charger.
Yeah try a different charger or get a portable pebble charger for some extra juice

My charger is a htc 1A, bought it a few days ago! The first one I had was on 550 mah!
But I still have problems charging!

Its been covered in many threads, just search. The battery driver limits charge current to 650 mA in sourcce code, and the device can easily pull more than 650 mA doing many things like navigation or browsing etc.
So there's nothing you can do except someone compiling a new kernel with charge current raised.
I have lately experience on this issue.
I wanted a full day working device at my holidays, so I bought this battery pack from amazon: TeckNet Dual-Port iEP380 5000mAh 1.5Amp Output Universal USB Battery Pack (you may search it at amazon)
I thought that 5000mah capacity with 1A output is pretty enough!
Guess what: just browsing on internet (wifi) the phone's battery still drains while charging it from 1A USB port !! (using 1m long cable usb to microusb).
The phone must be in standby in order to charge it. ! UNBELIEVABLE !
Have anyone else experienced same issues with an external battery pack?
Any updates on this? Can it be fixed, or is there a reason why samsung has capped it to 750 mah?
I really hope it's not because of overheating or something like that!?

experiencing the same issue here as well... no solution online :\
I'm still searching for a powerful external battery
Nice phone, love the screen size and quality, but it seems it needs a plutonium rather than a Li-Ion battery.
Pretty much the same with mine but I was using Papago X5 on the go
Got SONY ERICSSON AN400 from ebay and my phone now charges with sygic running.
I was using samsung charger earlier and battery was draining while using sat nav apps
I am using the cardle in the link below. I would recommend both items as they are great quality and does the job well

Hey guys,
I'm looking around for replacement batteries on Ebay, and all I see are 3.7 V batteries. The battery in my device (SGH-i747M) is a 3.8 V battery, which has the NFC receiver built into it.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Also, has anyone else with a 3.8V stock battery tried a 3.7V aftermarket battery?
Thanks in advance.
From what I've heard from other people, and in my experience, ebay batteries are never what they claim to be. I would only buy from reputable dealers.

Hi,
I just found my palm m505 from my storage room. The battery is about to explode so I removed it but I can't find cheap price for battery replacement. So I wonder, is it possible to used nokia battery which is Li-ion 3.7v. Palm m505 use Li-polymer 3.7v.
http://img.ihere.org/uploads/e76f9fa965.jpg
I did cut the wire but I'm not dare enought to stick the cable to the nokia battery directly. Is it possible to use Li-ion on Li-Polymer devices?
Thank you for any recommend.
Best Wish,
Jeng
Its ok now... I just try it myself. -.-' Thanks anyway.
Just saw this thread now, surely it worked for you. Everytime when you will use battery with the same voltage will work, doesn't ,atter if it's li-jon or li-pol

There can be big differences using batteries not designed to be charged by the host's charging supply, the battery chemistry is vastly different, as will the rate of charge/discharge when moving from Lithium polymer, to Lithium Ion.
Both of these batteries require different charge adaptors and charge rates/currents.
I'm just wondering if using a different charger would affect the Z1's battery life?
I've seen the description on the original charger, and it's charge rate is 1.5mAh and with the phone's 3mAh battery almost 2 hours for it to charge. Now, my sister and dad have tablets and their chargers' charge rates are 2mAh.
Again the question is, would using these charges affect the life of the Z1's battery? Again, I'm very concerned because as you know, Z1's cannot be replaced conventionally.
Thanks for your feedbacks. Appreciate it.

I actually just bought the 2 Amp Samsung charger for that exact reason...takes too long to charge. I don't think there would be any issue.

Thanks for the quick reply dude, but any technical references or long-term observations that would prove this is okay?

FYI
Hi guys! You're totaly wrong. If you are use high-ampers chargers for your phones, you can destroy your battery or, at least, significantly reduce the battery life. I have some bad experience with motorola radio stations wich we use in some airport service groups. When we buy hi-ampers chargers for it we was happy by time of chargeing, but after half of year useing it we just throw out all accums, because it began to hold charge about hour or two only
After consulting with with motorolla support we have found that its strongly not reccomended to use charger with higher amperage then recomended by manufacturer.
As a result:
Positive - we have quick charging time
Negative - disastrous decline in the lifetime of the battery

tat is motorola. this is sony.
i also brought a samsung 2amp charger to charge my previous xperia v n current phone.
sony phone itself hav a circuit to regulate the input if it found charging amp way too high.

That's very unfortunate to hear dude, thanks for your input. I hope to not make the same mistakes again.

Thank you for your insight.
I have several questions though:
1) how long have you been using this 2amp charger? Was it continuous usage?
2) do you have any idea, or any exact figure on what "too high" means in numbers? That way we can all benefit if Sony phones could handle the extra "uhmp". And anyone who has a Z1 who can attest to this?

2amp isn't problem.
I'm using that charger (from my N7) and only thing I changed is cable - I'm using magnetic-microusb cable and that's great combo.
I'm charging Z1 from the day 1 (I bought Z1 in October 2013) and my battery is still perfect.
25-30hours with.5.5-6.5 h of screen time.

The rated output of a charger is the maximum output, however it will only output what the phone takes in - in other words, if the phone only takes 1.5A, the charger will only output 1.5A even if it's capable of 2.1A. Using a higher ampere charger would only work if, say, the phone can take in 1.5A but the charger only outputs 1A, then using a 1.5A charger would boost charging times

Hmmm, that looks promising, I also ordered a magnetic micro usb cable few weeks back. Thanks for your feedback dude.

Yeah, that's what I also believe. But hey, then why do most gadgets heat up a little bit more when using a stronger charger? I'm not doubting the principles that you mentioned, but I need something tangible to look at: like an article from Sony for Z1 itself.
The other guy's experience and your comment here seems to be coinciding with each other, but You can never be too sure right?
But seriously, Thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it. That's what I like about the community here. Thanks man!

Gadgets heat up more when using a stronger charger because of my second premise - that the phone is capable of taking in a higher amperage than the charger that it came with. I think such a scenario is more likely since manufacturers would find a balance between charging times and heat, since too much heat would permanently damage the phone's charging circuitry as well as shortening battery life, so they provide a charger that outputs a lower maximum than what the phone can take in.
I do not know of any documentation Sony might have on this, but this is more or less physics in action. I did find a couple of readings here and here, and the main snippets are as follows:

But the amperage rating is only a measure of the adapter's maximum capability—the actual amperage is determined by the load (i.e., the iPad or iPhone)

If you connected the tablet’s charger to the smartphone, nothing would explode or catch fire. The smartphone likely won’t draw the maximum number of amps the charger can provide, but that should be fine. The smartphone may even charge a bit faster.
