4800mAh Battery for the atrix!

Hello atrix owners, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/4/prweb8348163.htm
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-for-motorola-atrix-4g-with-battery-door.html
has anybody tried it?, I'm ok with my battery but if this is gonna last for 3 days then I might consider it

Looks bulky. Not worth it imo. Too much money for a little more than double the battery. Plus no case would ever fit that thing.

Unless it has filler plastic or that backshell is rigid, you're going to end up with a soft spot in the case above and below the battery.

I'm very certain it will look a lot like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKwcz-iibbs

Holy crap, its way worse than I thought!

It looks really disgusting. With that amount of money it would make more sense to just buy a few batteries you can replace.

I actually did that. I got two 1900mAh batteries and external charger for $13. Not a bad deal I'd say.

dude seriously id rather carry a brick around that have that on my phone.
im still wonder. dont you all go home and charge your phones or something? why is battery power such a bug interest as long it gets you thur the day then there should be alright.

Thatd be cool if you were goin on a long trip and needed that extra battery but for daily usr its infesable.

Get one of these. When flying, I shut the phone off and let it charge during the flight.

Not sure if this APC unit is still available, but there are many other options out there.
I also purchased one of these. More testing is needed, but I think it will fully recharge the phone twice. Used one of the Zagg 25% discount codes on it.

eBay generic non-OEM batteries. If you want a link, PM.
In addition to that, I have an Imax Power brick. It was like $50 but it's amazing. 5000mAh. Greatest backup battery I have ever owned. Super reliable.

I have this! I just don't know how much it'll charge my atrix cause it only charged like 75 percent of my iphone battery and i think thats only like 1350 mahs?

Amazing battery life from extended, then all of a sudden crappy.

I got 26 hours off my first charge from getting Sprint's 2600mah battery off heavy usage. Now i can barely get 6 hours in 50% after i calibrated it. My lesson is, don't fix what's not broken -___- idk why its getting poor battery all of a sudden. I barely even used my phone today. Wth is going on? ;/

Look at your awake time. You have something up a lot. Even when your screen was off you had something running away. If you can't find it do a factory reset and back track your apps. If your rooted its really easy to restore apps, just don't restore data. Start over.

You definitely have a wake lock.
Your phone was awake for hours while the screen wasn't even on at all.

No this is when my battery was good. And that is NOT a wakelock, that is WIFI. WIFI being on counts as awake apparently when i test it.

No, my wifi is on anytime I'm in a wifi area and yet my awake time is not even close to the same amount of time.
It seems like the calibration method you used is what caused you an issue.
It might be that the phone thinks your aftermarket battery is only the stock battery and is therefore only charging part of the battery.

You think flashing a new rom will do? Ive wiped caches and stats before. But i dont have anything wakelocked for sure. I checked betterbatterystats for locks and my current awake and screen times are on par. However what can i do to make my phone recognize that i do have an extended battery in?

Simple recalibration. Easiest way is the battery calibration apologize. I lol when someone recommended it to me as I have always wiped the same file thru root explorer but it does the job. Very simple. U should really recalibrate after any battery change where mAh are dif

And wifi does not cause wake locks. But unless you were playing music the whole time that's a lot of awake time for the screen to be off.

Glad it's been fixed for you.
You should definitely watch that awake time though.
You were wake locked in that screen shot and that will eat your battery like none other.

Wireless charging option for the UK?

I've been looking for a good QI charger available in the UK and I can't find very much at the moment. Anyone know when the official Google orb will be released or what other options we can buy here in the meantime?
Thanks

Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times. Wait before you run to get one, might just be a 1 off but this is not working right.
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/accessory/dt-900/
Update 2: when the phone is off it charges fine, but when its on it keeps switching on and off, must be software related, any ideas?

By 'Off' do you mean actually powered totally off or in standby/screen off?

Completely OFF is the only way to charge wirelessly, otherwise it just keeps charing on and off. I went back to the store and tried on the matt on display and same thing happened, only the screen kept flickering very quickly and had to turn it off.
Confused.

It's either a software glitch or when the screen is on, the phone demands more power, and the Nokia charger cannot provide enough. Now, the latter is probably not the case.

Ohh then I can easily fix it, how do I change the setting so the screen doesnt turn on automatically when its charging?
I am new to android and cant find the setting under Display or Battery.. wonder if it can be turned off? otherwise I have a feeling Nokia chargers aint an option for Nexus 4 and I just wasted £45..
Thanks!

Battery going nuts?

Running aokp with stock kernel, also paranoid android before and it did this. Any help or ideas to fix these spikes? Battery reading has gone crazy and obviously it's not charging but it bumps up the battery level though

What the hell??? Ok, u have to charge the phonte till 100% and then delete the file:
Code:

Use the phone normally for a couple of days and report if the problem persists.

Clear Dalvik + cache and let it charge to 100%. OR charge it while the phone is off and do a battery cycle.

Thanks guys. The batterystats.bin file didn't work, also it's a new fresh install of AOKP so the whole data partition got wiped before installing. I think the battery got fried because it's way too hot where I live and the phone heated some times way more than normal.
I'm trying the charge withouth powering on now to see if it cures the problem.

With the phone powered off it didn't charge. If I turn it on it says 0% and then it ramps it up to 22 or any other value higher than what I think it really is. That's the spikes on the screenshot

well... sadly where i live ... starting a lawsuit is a pain in the butt and expensive... a lot more than the celphone itself and a total waste of time cuz my unborn son may get pubes before it ends... Anyway the phone doesnt start up with battery but without battery it shows something like it is missing the battery... At least the hardware that senses the battery is fine
