Extended battery may not be supported in the kernel level. You would think this is a hardware issue, but the OS needs to know how to manage power; hence, if it can't properly read the extended capacity it won't know how to charge it. This is my understanding, though. The same problem exists for Android roms.
I was surprised to see the extended battery to work, but doesn't charge. The only solution is to charge the extended battery on a charging bay while you use the regular battery during the night. Then, change the battery back to the extended battery when it's complete. Charging bays are cheap anyway, and handy thing to have for situations when you could use both batteries.
We can dream for a fix from DFT

I also have this problem with my extended battery. I wouldnt mind except you cant even charge the battery while the phone is off meaning its useless until I can get a charging bay.

I was just about to get a 2600mah extended battery for my Leo because of high drainage from Android and WP7. Good thing I saw this post. I'll wait for this to hopefully be fixed.

The same problem of battery(drum kit) as you, no solution!!!!!

So let me get this straight.
1) Extended Battery won't charge through the phone but will through a charging bay.
2) When EB is in the phone it will be used as normal with the extra capacity.
Yes/No?

Is original from HTC?
Thanks

I have been using the NON-HTC extended battery from ebay. It works, charges and lasts. I would think the HTC EB may not work because of the need for specific drivers that are not present in WP7 kernel.

If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...
From your message, everything points to a bad battery...
Good luck!
Thanks for replying
Hey
what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?
i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!
so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem
What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY
But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case
So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it
it would be great thanks in advance!!!!

It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.
An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.
Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.
hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs

Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.

It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.
hey thanks for replying
I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%
charger is having rating output- 5V - 1A

Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!
did the same but i think the problem is wid charger
coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer
but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge
but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???

Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.

Question about battery calibration

What is the purpose in doing this?
On to my real question
So anyways I charged my phone to 100%, removed it from the charger and wiped battery stats, used my phone and let it run all the way down and it turned off before I put it back on the charger. From reading you are not supposed to let it turn off. So should I do the process over again?
Thanks.
When I do the batter calibration I let it die completely and that's what it says everywhere so I think you'll be ok unless you really don't see an improvement in battery.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Seriously.. I think the USB charging port is bunk.. I brought the 2 batteries and a wall charger for 9.99 on ebay. I would always have to top off the batteries to they stay full charged...
With the Wall charger.. it's a way better way to charge. I"ve done 4 charge cycles.. and every time I plug in a charged battery off the walll charger it's stays fully charged for a long time.. then it trickles down... I serioulsy don't think calibration is the problem.. it's the USB charging port. There shouldn't be a need to Calibrate your battery.
Just my speculation.

i think he is talking about calibrating your battery in use with a new custom kernel, in which they recommend to calibrate battery.
to answer your question though, like you already know i did the same thing. the response i got from that is that it should not matter.
also i too got the 2 battery deal and wall charger for 9.99 and can deff say using a wall charger charges your phone way better than the included usb charger.

What is this two battery and wall charger?
For the kind of batteries we use in the cell phones, it is never advised to let the battery drain completely - this is stated in the manual that comes with the phone, too.
I believe it is wrong information that the battery needs to be drained completely in any case. Draining the battery completely actually reduces the storage capacity of the battery.
If you have more than one battery are you supposed to do the battery calibration for each one?

T-Mobile HD2 takes too long to recharge the battery

Hello folks, I am very concerned with my HTC HD2 as it takes like over 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. I have got this HD2 from the market here on XDA and it works very good overall, except for this problem when recharging it. I thought it was the charger and I have tried many usb to wall chargers even the the iPhone's 4 one, but nothing has changed.
I have also tried several roms and kernels but nothing has changed on this side as well. I wiped everything and put back win mobile 6.5 T-mobile stock rom, but hey, no difference here too..
I am wondering if there might be something wrong with the phone itself or can it be the battery going in holiday???....
How can I figure this out???
I have downloaded Battery Doctor from the market and it says the battery is in good health, and I get up to 14 hours with a full charge with mytouch 4G rom and kernel rafpigna 1.7 cpu 1.3Ghz OC.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ??? do you guys have any suggests ???
This problem is driving me really crazy...

How many hours does your battery last???
Are you using the original HD2 charger? I have tried many different chargers and they always charge at a different rate. It has to be that, not the battery.

Unfortunately it came with its original charger broken and I have never had the pleasure to try with it.. Anyways I am using a charger that has the same specs of the original one, which is the usb charger of the iPhone 4, and yea same result ...
I have downloaded currentwidget from the market and it gets less than 200mA of current in, when it usually should get around 400mA, sometimes the value goes down to 200mA as well, which makes me really wonder the problem might be the usb port of the phone .
Does a broken battery does that as well??

I think it has to do with the charger you're using . When I charge mine I usually see anything from 500+mA to 700+mA on my battery monitor widget depending on how much charge the battery has, and like Segnale007 said it usually takes about 2 hrs to fully charge.

I can't say it's the battery cause you say it lasts you 14 hours, usb port? maybe. Your battery is good for it to last that much (on averge usage of course). It's the different charger that you're using.

That's your issue there, 0.2A (aka 200mA).
The UK HD2 charger for example, is 1A (aka 1000mA).
To work out the maximum time it should take to charge the battery:
(capacity x inefficiency factor) / charging current
(1230 x 1.15)/200 = 7 hours
(1230 x 1.15)/1000 = 1.4 hours

That charger only delievers 0.2 A which is 200ma , you need at least a 500ma charger, mine is a 1 A ( 1000 ma ) and its quite normal to see a 700 ma rate while charging..

Take a look on ebay or any local phone shop/online phone accessory shop.
You want a micro usb charger that has an output current of at least 500mA/0.5A
The original HTC ones are 1000mA.
Blackberry ones I've seen are 700mA so they're good enough.
200mA isn't a problem, it won't damage your battery, in fact it will live slightly longer as it's being put under less stress when charging, but don't use your phone while you're charging with it as you'll be drawing more current than the charger can supply.
So for instance, if you wanted a car charger so you could use the phone as a satnav and talk via bluetooth, you'd need a 1A charger to cope with the drain on the battery.

With very, very light use about 55 hrs. That's not extended.
Alright, my dad has managed to temporary fix its original charger and I can confirm there's nothing wrong with the battery and the phone itself. It gets beyond 800mA with the original charger and fully recharge the batter within an hour and half, which is great..
Ok now I have to find a compatible USB to wall charger with the same frequency.
Since its a T-Mobile US HD2 its original charger is american, and since I am in Italy I'd get an Italian standard wall charger. Does the Italian HD2 original wall charger has the same frequency of the american one??

[Q] Rom WP7 with battery official HTC 2 300mah

I buy a HTC 2300mAh battery. But it does not load, the LED flashes red / green.
There is a rom that works with this battery on WP7?
Thank you for your answers.
Q/A would have been the right place for this post.
Your phone looks like a talkie walkie now ;D
Those "non official" batteries are often not compatible.
Thanks Dad57.
This is an official battery buy on htc.com
So? No ROM is yet available for this battery?
So if it is an official one, every rom would charge this one.
Tried on wm6.5?
it wont get charged works fine for android but quits at the use of wp7 - which means - runs out wont charge in wp7
i have one of these and cant use them here!
I don't understand why people always complicate their life to charge the phone by pc.
Check this out! http://cgi.ebay.de/Battery-AC-WALL-...114546?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f06ce2bb2
Just put your battery in and that works, because there is no rom which can affect the charging progress .

but even if it charges, it wont be read correctly so you wont get the extended battery recognized
I also have the official HTC HD2 BP E400 Extended Battery (2300mAh) and frankly, the only way that you can get the extra life out of it in WP7 is with external charger. I bought mine from ebay for less than $10.
Despite some claims above that WP7 Rom will not take an advantage of extra charge I have experienced otherwise. The phone will drop the indicator in the same manner as if it runs on the standard battery, but the extra charge will keep it going right at 1/4 charge for pretty much 1+ day of normal use which cannot be said about standard battery .
Bottom line is, you need external charger (or dual boot with Android as I did before purchasing the charger) which will consequently pay off also as your standard battery charger due to no current ROM being able to deliver full charge with them either. Just go for it and finally get full WP7 experience going.
Hope this helps

I've heard that some rom's does not work with it.

I bought similar extended battery, but failed to gain any significant increase in battery life. I am using Xbmod/Yuki BTTF ROM. Even if I charge with external charger, the phone doesn't seem to recognise the extra capacity.

you can use the bigger battey and use an external charger, that will give you a full charge, to use it you just pop the battery out and restart the device when it reports low, that usually works at least it does for mine anyway
course if you got an cradle with external charger then you can buy a couple of batteries an keep some spare
HTC Extended Battery
Hi guys,
I'm planing to install WP7 on my HD2 but I don't know if the original HTC extended battery is supported once I intalled WP7 on it.
I see that you were talking about some others extended batteries but the one made by HTC self. Is it supported?
Thanks in advance

I have the genuine HTC HD2 EXTENDED BATTERY, BA E400 2300MAH myself, and use it in substitution with regular battery...
Yes it'll work but your battery status readings will be incorrect i.e. the charge status bar in top right corner. However, the battery will last about twice as long as the stock one, but your batt status would be on low for that matter or as the guy in post somewhere above suggests, you can restart the phone when the indicator is low and get back accurate batt. level reading.
With that being said, EVEN THE GENUINE BATTERY WON'T CHARGE WHEN IT'S IN USE/IN THE PHONE. You're going to need external charger or charge it in Android (dual boot).
Good Luck!
Re : the 2 pack deal with external charger
aM i right in saying they cannot be charged when in use??
Would this have any repercussions with the genuine battery? Ie charging when in use?
