Has anyone seen this ...

Im looking for an X1 replacement batter with the charger. I have this same exact thing for my HTC Touch Cruise and believe me it is a godsend. Instead of sitting there for my phone to charge, I have one in the dock charging all the time. So when I run low to dead just swap and in seconds I have new juice.

unless your a really power user you probably won't need to charge the battery that often given hercules is powering the x1 i think with heavy use you'd be good charging it probably once every 10-12 hours

What about with WiFi use?
I know on my Wizard the battery goes in about 2 hours with WiFi active even if its just idling with Messenger. Have they actually improved that much over the years? I'm hopeful but also skeptical.

WMVWifiRouter will kill your battery in an hour and a half.
I'd be curious to know if there are any reliable aftermarket batteries. Buying any Sony OEM parts are always ridiculously expensive and many aftermarket batteries don't work well with Sony products.

well based on what i've been reading about the X1 it's supposed to have a nice increase in battery life compared to our current HTC phones. supposedly sony made a special project just for the phone codename Hercules it's supposed to be using a 1800 mah li poly in stead of what we use in our current phones which is li ion supposedly using the li poly is going to give the battery a much needed boost that all ppc's need to go all day or maybe a couple of days given the usage
Li-poly batteries is over 20% higher than that of a classical Li-ion battery and they store more energy than nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries of the same volume.
When compared to the lithium-ion battery, Li-poly has a greater life cycle degradation rate. However, in recent years, manufacturers have been declaring upwards of 500 charge-discharge cycles before the capacity drops to 80% (see Sanyo). Another variant of Li-poly cells, the "thin film rechargeable lithium battery", has been shown to provide more than 10,000 cycles.

Extended Battery.

Hi all.
Let's share our experience about batteries, this is more about hardware than software side. Where is better to buy quality replacement batteries and etc...
I'm using two normal capacity 1350 mAh replacement batteries on my HD2 Nexus android. Both of them I bought on ebay quite long time ago and... what can I say, they performing ok, maybe slightly worse that was original one (lost). Recently I bought extended battery on ebay, twice thick and twice heavier than original one with back cover, 2400 mAh. Strange thing, it lasts about the same (sometimes I think even less) as original capacity ones. Peope say do calibration... This is what I'm going to do tonight, but strange, these normal capacity ones have not done any calibrations and last well. The question, why double capacity one does'n last any longer???
I will update you about changes after calibration.

Because of the calibration it just charges it till the normal capacity battery would be full, and but since this is a extended capacity battery it will need to be calibrated so that it knows that it can be charged further.
But, that's my theory. just try it out and see for yourself.

Extended batteries will drain down to 15% then should stay there for a while. And even if the phone shuts down due to drainage all you have to do is remove the battery, put it back in and you're back to around 40%.
I use 2 extended ones from ebay and they last at least 1.5-1.75 longer than the skinny original htc one.

Battery Question

Bought a spare battery for Desire HD, mainly to have with me when at football as one battery through the day is simply not enough
Question is, if i charge a battery up, how long will that battery keep its charge whilst not in the phone. Has anyone got any examples of timings and performance. Both batteries are official 1200mAh batteries.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_store_batteries
But since all that's not viable in real life or worth it, I store my battery at 100%. Quite a few times I've used my spare battery a week or so after charging it, and it showed 98-99% when I put it in the phone. Of course that's the phone's reported battery percentage which can be erratic and fluctuate a lot, but when I checked the battery voltage it hadn't decreased by much.
I have 2 spare batteries, both older than my active battery and one slightly bloated and not the best to use (the one I got with the phone). Both are OEM 1230 mAh. I last charged them a week back and didn't use them after. These are the voltages measured with a multimeter as of now -
1st spare battery (1 year 10 months old) - 4.18V
2nd spare battery (1 year 2 months old) - 4.2V
As you can see, that's hardly any decrease in the first one and almost nothing in the second one, considering a full charge is 4.2V (4.204V to be exact). I carry them around with me when I'm outside, so they're exposed to some amount of body heat and ambient heat when the weather is hot. Like I said before, I last charged them one after the other a week ago or a little more than that, and they haven't been used since. So you shouldn't see any significant voltage drop unless you don't use the spare battery for a month or more.
Just in case you weren't aware of this, you can check your battery voltage from your phone easily by keying in *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and choosing 'battery information'.

The battery will retain its charge and best way is to flash a custom ROM like TrickDroid(Sense 4.0). I have it and battery is amazing even with heavy usage.

5800 mAh (or more) extended battery; Does it only show 50% charge?

So, i've been looking at some extended capacity batteries like this one http://mobyl.ro/baterie-extinsa-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9500-capac-spate-5800-mah-albastru
But surfing the net, i read in a review that the phone actually only uses 2600 MaH of the 5800 and then it reaches ZERO. Restarting the phone would instantly show the remaining 50% of the extended battery. It seems....dubious. Is it any truth to this claim?
Thanks

If there is then it's because of that particular battery model and not because of the phone.
I don't see a logical reason why the phone would have a 2600 mAh limit.

Thank you. Fair answer.

Does batteries are crap and the battery cover starts coming off after a while. I had one before and it was a waste of money.
Good luck with your product.

Battery capacity lower than expected.

Hi all,
Using AccuBattery and it's telling me the battery is around 4160 mAh (that's from three charges so far). Obviously it should be around 4500 mAh.
Anybody else see this?
Thanks

I've installed the app to test your problem. It detected the correct battery capacity for me. The app tells you that you can adjust the battery capacity, probably because sometimes the reading is wrong.

No, no you misunderstand.
It detects 4510mAh which is correct. Once you've gone through a few charging cycles the app will tell you the actual capacity of your battery under the "Health" tab.

Me too, Accubattery says I have 4220 mA battery. Its around 5% less than original capacity (4510).
I see when battery is full charged, battery down from 100% to 99% quickly. On oneplus 7 pro I had the same problem, battery was "old" and OP7pro lost 5% quickly.
I don´t think it is enough to return the OP8pro, I will buy a new battery in the future when battery is older.

They use battery designed for max 4.4V. Advised capacity is correct if battery charged to designed maximum voltage however there is software limitation and you cannot charge battery over for example 4.275V in 7 pro. Real capacity is approximately 10% lower than advised. You have to understand that Oneplus is Chinese company so you cannot expect any reliable and trustworthy information from them.

4042mah on my one... But battery life has been great... It seems the voltage limit thing is the main reason.

4440mAh on mine.

Many reviews in playstore says similar problems on many phones.
Seems this app is not really accurate.

Thanks all

On new Pixel 4 XL I had 3850 mAh according to accubattery and 4100 mAh on LG V50. This measure is quite reliable after long time usage and you gonna see quite similar results like using usb meter. On my 7 pro I had 86% designed capacity and I have bought new battery - still 88% but when I noticed what's written on battery label all happened clear. Please never believe Chinese people even if it is global company they always lying because of they drink lay whit mother's milk and it's strongly correlated whit their totalitarian culture.

I just did 3 charges on my new op 8 pro and i'm getting 4419 mah ... :S

I did around 5 charges and mine is 4084mah, battery life is not great...

It's not accurate lol, don't trust it
