Defy Plus& 3500mAh battery not charging

When I tried charging the phone I see the led turns it to red and displaying a questing mark. I am on stock firmware DFP-231 (not rootable)
No problem with 1700 mAh battery
Can any one help ?

Extended batteries will never show their true % .... first 100 % of original battery then from 0 their work starts , so no miui or cm7 here

The extended battery uses different tech to your 1700 so any reg defy build will work with it tho may display wrong stats, then when you use the original defy plus battery you will need to flash battery fix on the reg defy roms
Unfortunately you'll have to pick one of your two battery's and enjoy or keep flashing fixes when you swap the battery
teamwork makes the dream work

Defy Plus & 3500mAh battery
Where did you buy that battery? I have only found batteries with that capacity for normal defy but not for defy+.
Is there any new fixes for it on CM10?

[Q] my battery drains from 55% to 50% in a sec (MB526 defy+)

my battery drains from 55% to 50% in a sec.. any idea why is that problem?
i've already done the battery calibration and the problem is still here..

During call this fix may not work properly....

but it was in a rasting state.. none of the apps have ran...

I have the same problem, mine is 30% to 19% it happens to me twice within a minute
sorry for my english

Did you try calibrate the battery once??

yes..

Battery drop/ not chargeable to 100% seems to be the only problem to Defy plus

I'm wondering if I should just buy a normal defy battery for my Defy+. No more need for battery fix

Download Battery calibration from the play store, charge your phone till 100% and then calibrate the batterty. The app erases the battery history (which is false and is the reason for such drops). And from there the history file is brand new and the drops will be over

This is an old problem with Defy battery and I was experiencing it some 10 months ago..
I tried all the tricks in the book and nothing solves it; I always (90% of the time) see a drop from 56% yo 49% (and sometimes another one around 25% to 21%).
At least three people (one being Walter79) said that it is a hardware issue and that they've fixed that with a new battery.

[SOLVED] battery showing 100% constantly

SOLVED by somehow managing to get into recovery with 1% battery and flashing Red Lens Battery Fix
found under "Flashing Instructions" here (Like an idiot I didn't check.
------------------------
OP:
I recently changed from Epsylon3's 14 July build to Quarx's latest and my battery is showing 100% constantly.
When on charge it still shows 100%, and last night it showed 40 then dropped to 10 and wouldn't charge.
Overnight it charged to 100% though and hasn't changed.
I've tried wiping battery stats and cache/dalvik but no change.

You must consider your self lucky! People make threads complaining that they don't get 100% battery stat ever. Your case is reverse.
Jokes apart, try caliberating and see.

may be a victim of battery problem, may be battery has gone old and cannot hold charge

My battery has been completely fine until I flashed. Battery calibration doesn't do anything. There was a news post about it. All the battery stats hold is how much battery is use by apps (shown above).
I'm more concerned that I could have 20% and it shows 100 and my phone dies when I need it!

Seems to have resolved itself. I tested App2Zip from play market and now my phone is showing 50%. Disregard this topic now. Thanks
Edit: doesn't seem to be going below 50. Seems frozen unless I reboot?

Perhaps it's Quarx's build? I wonder if anyone else has this problem.
Don't let your phone die. Mine just did and now won't boot :|

You guys might have to try Auris battery fix for red lens defy only

New battery question

Hi, I need a new battery as mine is worn, I need to know if I buy a higher capacity battery (ie mugen or defy + battery, not fakes) on my green lense defy will it cause me issues? If I flash a defy + rom I lose camera as I am green, so can I safely use a higher capacity battery and still get a full charge out of it?

It should work if you flash battery fix in froyo kernel ROMs

If the mugen is for MB525 then you need no fix.
For the Defy+ battery, I think you need to flash the battery fix that was going around in the Epsy CM threat (as he has no Defy+, he used the Defy batt and the Defy+ users had to flash a fix.)

Yes, so even though its a bigger capacity it will read right?

I won't vow but I thought the Defy+ battery works with the battery fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
There were some that tried. It somewhere in the Q&A
The mugen 1700mah will work. It is a 3.7 lithium ion battery. Same as the MB525 (BF5X) one.
The one from the MB526 (HF5X) is a 3.8 lithium ion polymer battery.
The 'replacement' battery's from ebay with stated to work with Defy+ are all for Defy so a nogo for the Defy+ users.

I have just bought a Defy+ battery for my Defy (green lens). The problem is that you never know how much battery is left. It goes from 100% to 1% in a few hours and stays in that 1% until it is fully drained (10 hours or more).
For what I have read it is impossible to have green lens camera and the Defy+ battery working at the same time:
- If you use froyo kernel camera will work but the battery won't.
- If you use gingerbread kernel it will be the other way round.
So for now I prefer a working camera without knowing how much battery is left.
The only silver lining I have found is in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627631). It is for the photon 4g but it might be possible to make it work in our Defy.

Weren't there defy+ users on froyo kernel? (By flashing the bl5 eclair or BL6 froyo)
Are you sure you have the right battd and lib?
But I don't know for sure of course because I don't own a defy+ nor battery.

I don't see why a Defy+ user would have a Froyo kernel, neither the camera nor the battery will work.
I have tried another battd/libbattd but it gives a question mark inside the battery meter.

Sucks.
Camera does work AFAIK.
They did it when CM9 began and epsy did a couple of defy only roms and some defy+ users couldn't wait.
And they can return to GB kernel just by flashing it in recovery.
Could be the battery doesn't work on froyo kernel. Sucks a bit for Green lens defy users.

There is no real fix for battery on red lens defy+. It might show you full charge but it will never go more than 4.15V and it used to be 4.35V in stock rom.

[Q] Defy Battery Problem

I flashed my defy for the 100 time and this time my battery got stuck at 100%. I discharged it, and when charging it shows a '?' where % should be.
It always show at 100% at the notification bar.
Do i have to wipe anything, flash anything? I really have no idea.
I'm running quarx CM10 4.1.2 2ndboot, and i own a defy green lens. Also, i flashed touchwizz add-on, if that matters...
thanks

So, i've got news. the phone will only boot if connected to the charger. If i remove the charger, it dies. I still could access the recovery and wipe everything and flash clean 4.1.2 from quarx (2nd boot, cm10)
Im kinda freaking out now.

looking like battery is damaged....

yeah?

I have the battery icon appearing with a question mark from time to time.
Would the red lens battery fix this? I have a mb525 green lens that a friend flashed with a build for the defy+.

Me too

I wish I could provide an accurate answer to how I fixed it.
Since I used my Moto Bravo to charge the battery and then continued flashing sbf and then cm10, I don't particularly know what fixed it.
Good luck :/
