Have just got my hands on my first wizard.
Phone came off ebay with a VERY dead battery which I managed to get going with the help of a 9v battery out of my smoke alarm.
I am now stuck deciding which wm6.1 rom to update it with. I have searched through the forum and to be honest I have given myself a headache and I feel no further forward.
Any help or pointers would be GREATELY appreciated.
I would rather have a generic type rom
I've also just got my hands on a Wizard with a dead battery, thanks for the tip about zapping it with a 9V battery, saves me having to wait for my new battery to arrive off ebay.
I found this page of the wiki useful for deciding what ROM to choose.

I haven't upgraded yet myself, but I went by rating and popularity and support for the G4.
I put the slim_19199 rom on and all is running well...........
I tried kick start the battery using the butchered USB cable method first (as shown on youtube) and got nowhere with it.

I have a big problem with my Jasjar when the battery comes to 40% turn off the device
Please I need your help
RE
I think the battery life is ending
I've this issue and twice I changed the battery
Yeah.. It's obvious that you need a new battery.
P.S. What's with the big letters and red font?
thank you FOSA
My friend I have tow devices and they have the same problem.
My friend DaVince
Do you think the tow batteries are damage?
Thank you,
I wouldn't say damaged.. it's probably just old and the charge/use cycles have been too much already.
I would like to say many thanks for you and I need your advice about that if necessary to buy new battery or not.
Best regard
uau!!! I have the same, my device turn off but... with 80%!!!!!?
I have just been through the same thing with my MDA Pro and a new, original equipment battery (at £35!) has sorted the problem completely. Hell of a relief as I was thinking the problem lay in the charging hardware of the Universal.
Another group of people who never read before Posting.
@Midget
Suggestion, now Universal has 4 forum (Universal, Upgrading, Accessories, WM6), why not create a 5th one for this lazy people say with the title "Universal Batteries issues for the Lazy" and move all the batteries discussion there.
Kind of get sick with these questions about Universal dead X% of battery, and somemore in Bold Red.
Hi everyone,
I don't really post much on here, but I've been lurking around for ages & finding this place very useful for modding my MDA Compact II. Thanks for that!
I've been looking for a while for some sort of battery fix?
I've had the same battery for about a year now & decided that it was time for a new one. So I got myself one ordered from T-Mobile in the US & had it shipped over (not cheap!).
I put it in my phone & charged it for 48 hours then started to use it, unfortunately it only lasted about 6 hours!? So I contacted T-Mobile & they sent me a new one.... Same problem!?
So I'm beginning to think its the SW?
I'm running the new HTC Touchflow OS with a few other bells & whistles!
Can anybody suggest a fix please! I don't want to have to buy a new one!
Thanks.
Who told you to charge it for 48 hours? That doesnt even make sense with this kind of battery. Try to discharge it and charge it to 100% again.
Yeah strange hey?
Yeah I've tried that a few times but still the same rubbish battery life??
The battery is a PM16A if that helps??
I read somewhere a while back (Probably here), that your battery life could be affected when you update the ROM? IE: If it is not fully charged when you update.
Is this the case, is there a WM6 fix for this??
Thanks....
Its doubtful to be a software problem. You can of course try flashing to WM5, then again to WM6, see if it helps.
Ok so quick question.
I am looking at purchasing an extended battery for my HD2 which is running a MIUI custom android 2.3.4 rom (BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD | GINGER Sense&HoneyComB | MIUI).
Since I have under 8 posts, I am unable to provide the link, but from ebay's homepage, I used the search: NEW BATTERY FOR HTC HD2 EXTENDED + DOOR T-MOBILE 3500MH
What I am curious about is that this post says it is a 3500MH battery, yet no where on the pics do I see this on the battery itself.
Is there an application out there that I can install that will verify this battery is indeed 3500MH once I install it? I have googled like crazy for this answer already & I have searched the forums already for similar threads, so lets keep the peanut gallery replies to a minimum. Respectful assistance is all that is needed.
Thanks for the help on this one.

After looking at it, I think it may be encrypted in the part number cuz it goes '35H00' I think there is an app, but you may want to search 'battery' in the market, as I haven't used them; also if you get it, make sure you calibrate you battery.
lol if i knew you would have had the answer, I would have just pm'ed you! thanks for the info, I should have googled the battery model number. I had searched battery in the market, but all that came up were battery saver apps and what not. Juice defender seems pretty decent, but I never have kept a rom on the phone long enough to notice a difference in battery.
do extended battery show correct perecentage in windows mobile ?
I doubt it will show correct percentage, but I am running Android, which is not showing correct percentage. I have to reboot phone once battery is low andthen it shows the true remaining amount. Once it gets down to 15% it stays there for a while. I got the 3500mah battery from eBay for like ten bucks and its worth it, but the cheap plastic back cover that comes with it sucks.
I got this

Inclues a case and is original HTC so works correctly. The build quality is very good.
The El cheapo ones that quote BS numbers don't give you any longer battery life from what I've read. And, they tend to loose capacity quickly. Reality is, unless you switch to a radically different technology, the storage density stays the same. So, if you have two batteries the same size, and one offers 2300 and another 3500... guess which one is using a bit of controller ic trickery to feed you BS. The fact that they don't work properly is a good giveaway.
Seriously, if you had the tech to double the density, would you be selling it on eBay for ten bucks?
Thanks you for all information.
First of all, i`d like to say that this is a great community for android users and you`ve been of great help ever since the golden era of my first milestone.
Since my first droid died years ago, i wanted another, so i bought a used milestone 2 with no battery. I ordered an original oem battery from the US and now i realize that the phone won`t recognize the battery. The phone turns on, but doesn`t charge and there is a question mark on the battery gauge.
Any word of advice will be appreciated, many thanks. Hopefully with your help i will eventually be able to bring the M2 back to life.
Edit: i fixed all issues except the battery-related one. I have an original battery, how come the phone doesn`t recognise it? I could use and external charger, but that still doesn`t replace a logical explanation.

Are you sure you didn't get a counterfeit battery? I have replaced the one in my MS2 (BP6X, datecode 2010) with another one, same year, a while ago, no issues. I realise that it becomes harder and harder to get one's hands on genuine, compatible, and working batteries - or recent Android updates.
This happened to me today while browsing facebook.
My phone suddenly shut down. While trying to turn on, it would get to booting screen and then shut down again. It didn't loop - I had to try each time manually.
I cleared cache and reset it to factory settings to no avail. BUT once I got back home and managed to connect it to a charger (the battery was at estimated 90% capacity), everything runs smoothly. No shutdowns, no freezes - despite the phone getting warm. I stressed it quite a lot and it seems to hold, so I don't think this is related to the "bigger" CPU.
Could it possibly be a battery issue? Could my device be misreading the actual capacity of the battery?
As a sidenote: it did crash/shutdown once I disconnected the charger, but only after 20 minutes or so when I uninstalled a running at that time app.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, so I have something to work with and replace stuff accordingly - and hopefully not the entire phone, as I love my 6P.
It seems like it has to be connected to the battery, as it has been now holding (presumably) at 56% charge for over 4 (!) hours. AccuBattery shows the same data as what the phone reads, and now it seems that my power drain is in negative without charging the phone.
Sadly, there are no original replacements available in my country. Only cheap 3550mAh knockoffs that sellers call OEM. They do have Huawei logo, but everyone knows that 3450mAh is the only original capacity (right?)
Update: Nearly 20 hours on the same displayed 56% capacity.
Any help? Please?
No, you are wrong. Those 3550mAh batterys are the brand new ones from huawei. Those are the newest revision of the battery. Dont get the 3450 ones. If the seller is really selling a 3450mAh one, then its probably one of the old ones with the known issues.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just out of curiosity - how do you know that? When I contacted Huawei support, they did not answer me whether the 3550mah bat is a genuine product, or a farce. They avoided that question until they force-closed my support ticket without a proper answer.
First: Because i bought one and informed myself before. Then the new battery ran better then ever before. Even better then when the nexus 6p was new. Its the new batch that is better then ever before.
Second: you can read more about this topic in the correct forum thread about that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78453441&postcount=1023
The thickness of the cable does not matter that much. Something you can care about is the weight. But this is something you can check when you got the new battery and also took the old one out.
To have longer battery life dont use the original charger. Use max a 5V 2A one. For example from a older Samsung mobile phone. Those have good electrical efficiency.

Thanks again.
For the 3 years I've bee using my 6P I never had battery life issues. In fact, even now the battery is holding well, despite the stats showing that my battery might be dying.
I came to this forum section looking for feedback on what could possibly be going on with my phone presenting the issues I am having. I am no mobile tech unlike many of guys around here. I might budge then and hope that the local Huawei repair center in my city will be of more help than the official Huawei support.
