I have an Anker 5200, and the 2piece Anker 7600.
But they don't seem to last any longer than the stock 2600 mAh battery. The phone won't recognize the extra power.
I got the phone in April, before MF9, and the 5200 worked great.. I'd go 3 days without charging. Once my phone saw MF9, it's sucked for battery life. I recently did a full wipe, and reflash with Odin for MF9, and no improvement.

the problem can be the battery, even if it's a new one.
I tried two other batteries, and the problem had continued.
I think the other ones was fake/old batteries, but sold as original and new.
Thanks for the help, the problem is solved, I just had to do full sbf install for 3 times. Now my mobile is on for about 26 hours using the new battery. (On 4.2.2)
Maybe I had problems both with the old battery and the battery files on the ROMs.

I have been experiencing similar battery problems running Whiterabbit 2.1.1 on my Green lens Defy Mb525. Which 4.2.2 ROM are you using Jinx? If I flash a new ROM and recalibrate the battery is that likely to fix it? I'm guessing sbf install is the same as a full factory reset. (forgive me, I'm a beginner when it comes to all this!) How come you needed to reinstall 3 times?
I don't know, what solved my problem, but the fact is that I reinstalled the sbf three times than updated to Quarx's latest 4.2.2 nightly than I got it right.
My phone just run out of power after 3 days 4 hours. Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time to reply Jinx.
3 days is excellent! I flashed sbf twice, had some trouble running Jellybean ROMs without serious lag, so am currently reverting back to 7.2, running 'Cyanmobile experience'. It runs smoothly, but still encountering the battery drops, so its somewhat of a mystery!
I'll keep experimenting.
I have a spare battery, and an external wall charger. Currently swapping between the two to last through the day with enough juice!

Somehow, even for me, after 3 sbf flashes, CM10 is really smooth and there are no problems so far. Oddly, after the second sbf flash, CM10 was quite laggy.
I bought my brand New defy in October 2012. I've had huge battery drops ever since I jumped onto the CM10 bandwagon from this February. How's that possible?

Im wondering if my battery life is normal, im pretty sure I remember before doing yhe mf9 update I had better than this. If it could be better, what would you suggest I do to make it better? Look at the attached pics
Also I was playing a game for a while but I'd still think it should last longer.

I've read threads about worse battery life on MF9, but that is certainly not the case for me. I've been on MF9 3-4 days now, and am for sure not seeing worse battery life. Perhaps a little better, but it's hard to tell. For sure not worse.
Stock rom, rooted, some bloatware disabled. Same setup I had on MDL.
Ahh. But another thing, it takes FOREVER to charge. It has probably been plugged in for 20-30 minutes and it is at 2 percent. I used it to call someone a couple times. But I dont understand why it wouldn't charge.

Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Its a 2amp charger while almost every other phone charger is a one amp.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4
Actually this is what's weird.. when I use the 2 amp charger it charges slowly. But when I use a 0.7 amp charger it charges faster than the 2 amp. Could it maybe be the usb cord? I have a different one than the original because the one it came with, the plug broke

hi, i have 2 problems, maybe one of them is a bug.
i flashed phoenix rom 2 days ago, and the battery life is bad, i get 70% done in 10 hours with 2hour screen on.
and the second problem is, i noticed that when charging my phone, according to current widget it charges @ 1200ma while the adapter says 2A.
i have experience with phoenix rom, on note 2 and also on my s4, but that was a while ago, but i flashed other roms and now back to phoenix (always with full wipe) and now my bat life is bad.

i wil try battery king rom tonight.
I dont know whats up with my Nexus 4 battery but its acting weird.
Sometimes at around 40% (or 30%, or 20%) my phone just switches off, then when I put it to charge and switch it back on, the phone is at 1%.
I tried calibrating the battery properly several several times with no luck
This happened when I was in 4.2.2 first. After that when I flashed 4.3 factory image the problem was solved.
Now when I flashed the Kit Kat image, I have this issue again. I'm really annoyed with this as I cant take my phone outside without knowing how much battery I REALLY have left.
I need help here please.
SOLVED: I guess the problem was because of a faulty battery. My old battery was swelling, so I replaced it and these problems were all solved

I just came here to post the same thread! Yesterday my phone just went dark without any sign or switching off animation at about 25% battery. I plugged it in and now when it got to 76% it just went straight to 100% full battery. Obviously while discharging it it will switch off again at 20-25%. What can we do? Completely stock, unrooted, 4.4 Kit kat sideloaded. Edit: Did the factory reset after 4.4 kit kat
you can try factory reset (wipe all data), or a clean flash 4.4.

Repairing is really relative. It can take from 2 up to 3 weeks usually. I was told it would take three and got it back after two. My issue was that I couldn't hear the person speak in calls though.
Good luck

It seems like you have a faulty battery. IMO, it has nothing to do with the software.

Yep, but never been on 4.2.2, I took mine when 4.3 was out there. And moreover mine is bought from the UK play store just like yours I guess. Don't know whether flashing the factory 4.4 image will solve the issue though. :/ Factory reset didn't.

Does your phone just randomly switch off, without the Powering off dialog box?
Mine does that randomly, the screen just switches off. When I switch on there's enough battery remaining.

Nope. Mine doesn't do that..yet. But when it gets to 30% it switches off without the powering off dialog box, yes. Black screen. When I plugged it in, it starts from 1%

Getting pretty bad battery life on ANE2 compared to the stock fw ANCI if I recall the name correctly. My usage is the same. The stock fw blew my mind as I could run the phone for two days with normal usage. ANE2 is back to charging every night without fail.
