Hi, i've read over at the android development thread that some users of 3rd party battery are unable to boot into android from winmo due to certain limitations of the kernel in recognizing the battery (possibly similar to extended hd2 batteries). as i'm looking to get another battery to be a spare to bring on the go, i would like to verify the claim with fellow hd2 users..
my question is this:
To all 3rd party battery users, who have successfully booted into android from their 3rd party battery and brand of the battery (if any)?
hope this will help me and every1 else looking to purchase a 3rd party battery to use as a spare battery since it would suck if it cant be used for android..

I just ordered one from ebay it is a cameron sino, or somthing like that. it is a 2400mAh. I will let you know. I also read somewhere that if you cover up the gold pin that senses tempature then the phone will boot, but since i dont have a extended battery yet i can neither confirm nor deny. Either way i will let you know in a couple of days.

I have two 1200 mah batteries that I swap out with the original batteries. No problems here except I never hit 100% full charge.
see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
this kernel has the option to disable tempchecking so any battry can be used, it has a ton of other awesome features too like overclocking
I have 2 3rd party batteries and I've had no issue with booting into or running Android.
Mine both 100% charge.

Same, however they are similar to the original battery.
Mine are Andida batts.
Thanks every1.. will update the 1st post layet to include the stuff u guys mentioned.. about the special kernel which ignores battery temperature, is it for extended batteries or is it for normal sized batteries as well?

Ok I just got my extended battery from ebay, I popped it in and loaded Android. And it worked. It booted into android with no problems. If you want to purchase one like mine I have a previous post and I provided a link. The back cover protrudes a bit but is not in the way at all. I like it. I will buy probably 3 more of this exact one.

Does anyone know if it is possible to power the HD2 from the micro USB supply while I swap batteries. I don't want to have to do a soft reset which loses what you are doing. But I'm worried that without the battery to absorb the power there is a risk of damaging the circuits?
I don't want to just try it because I already blew my main board by powering the USB through a cheep adapter and a Nokia charger that supplied too much power and had I to get it repaired/replaced. I'm hoping someone already knows.

I bought the 2400 mah extended battery for $21.99 and it booted right into android fine but the new back cover didn't fit my phone very well. So I bought HTC's extended battery 2300 mah with back cover and kickstand on back cover it was much more expensive $71.99 with priority shipping from clove UK. I got it put it in and it would not boot into Android. I had to use the special kernel and then voila all is well. Thanks to XDA and the people who put all the hard work into these projects. I love my HD2 with dual boot and extended battery and it even has a freakin kickstand now LOL!
I've owned the eBay 2400 or 2600 extended battery since I got my phone months ago and have had no problems at all with using Android with it. Just yesterday I decided to swap for the stock battery though, mostly because I absolutely love how sleek the HD2 is with the stock battery.

Hi my original battery of Defy is dying. It won't last for half a day. I am planning to get a new one. There are all kinds of batteries on ebay, 1500mah, 1700mah, 1930mah, 2200mah.... I don't want to lose water-resistant so I just want a battery replacement can last long with it. Which is the best choice? I know some of these volumes are fake so the largest number is not always the best choice...

hi, just buy the official battery of your defy
I bought a Polarcell 1600 mAh on ebay. I measured 1570 mAh, which is close enough.
It does have two problems, though. It underreports its capacity (1140 instead of 1600 mAh), and the temperature jumps between 24 and 26 C no matter what the real battery temperature is.
Buy the original battery , If possible purchase the battery a official reseller , On Ebay there are many false
try MUGEN

thanks, will try it
lesson:
1. buy original motorola, try reliable un-official channel if too expensive.
2. buy 3rd party reputable.
3. avoid any has the same size as original but claims significantly higher capacity.
4. avoid batteries that sell for 1/5 the price of an original or 3rd party, you're asking for troubles.
5. when shop on ebay, check seller ratings.
thx.

If NFC ain't working,it is safer to use official.
Other than mAh ,also check input, output volt,etc.

The input and output everything is same as samsung only manufacturer is different .... so I am confused if zerolemon is giving the battery so cheap is it e1 up to the quality standards of samsung ... coz I dont want to fry this device ... can't afford another one for 2 yrs ..
be easy. Never will it fry your chipset.
the sumsung battery is 3.8v in average , 4.35V limited, highest li-ion battery. most other battery is 3.7v average,4.2 limited.
waht's more, inside the phone there are protection circuit and dc-dc circuit to low the battery voltage from 3.5-4.35 to the voltages every part of phone needed.

are you sure about this thing ?
if this the senario then i will buy the zerolemon 3000mAh batteries as they are way cheaper than samsung oem !:victory:
The thing is this:
Any battery, even OEM, has the potential to harm your device, but the Samsung batteries are very high quality and less likely than the super-cheap chinese knock off copies that are made to look like Samsung batteries that you see everywhere on eBay.
A good aftermarket battery, such as Anker (or Zero Lemon or Mugen, etc.) is probably just as safe as OEM, because their quality is also very high, and they carry a good warranty. Personally, I have used Anker in my S2, S3 without any issues at all for years.
zero lemon it is then !!:victory:

yeah, but the potential is very few. There are many protection circuit for the phone. only if all of them failed, which rarely happens.
Chinese battery is always unsafe and ,it has less mAh than it marked.
I'v buy a 2000mAh in my country for S2 whose OEM battery only 1600mAh. I test it on a balance charger for modelplanes, only 1100mAh.
Stick with 'reputable' brands if you're going to use non-Samsung batteries. Not worth risking $800 worth of electronics to find out why the hard way.

Is zerolemon reputable ??
Can't personally vouch for them/not as I've never used their products. But price is almost always a good guide with these things, if they're really cheap, stay away from their stuff.
they are cheap but a lotta people using them ...
So I am confused .... should I just buy oem ?
There's no 'right/wrong answer'. Some people on here have had good experiences with them, some people haven't. I suspect this is because quality of manufacture can vary widely between manufacturers & even between different 'batches' of the same battery from the same manufacturer. For me, I've had one experience with a cheapo brand non-Samsung battery (with my S2) which was a poor one & I was fortunate I could get a refund. End result = I won't use anything other than original Samsung batteries.

so basically its a gamble !
and in my case the house always wins !!!
so i think it will be better to stick to oem batteries ...
It can be a gamble, yeah. But plenty of people on here swear non-Samsung/cheap (as opposed to more expensive ones from reliable companies like Mugen, etc) batteries are fine from lots of manufacturers & they've had good experiences with them, however, if you look through Accessories/elsewhere, you see plenty of people who haven't had good experiences with them.
If you want a battery to work exactly as it should, be at or very very close to the rated capacity printed on the outside, and to last you a reasonable amount of time/give you plenty of use guaranteed (important word), then buy Samsung branded batteries. You know the quality of manufacture is consistent/of a high standard, and if you somehow get one that isn't, it's easy to get a replacement or your money back (and cases like this are rare).
zerolemon says battery for 19$ + 15$ for shipping !!
Lmao ! :laugh::laugh:
i can get the samsung official charging kit and official battery for less than that here !!
OEM it is then !
I have the Anker battery and find it better than the stock battery. Could be placebo but I find it gives me a tiny bit extra battery life.

I would never go aftermarket to be honest. I just couldn't stomach the thought of my phone being denied quality power supply.
May be yes.

I am those play games a lot. Even though the Samsung Note3’s battery not very shabby, i think there are still some users sometimes out there burn through its battery supply soon like me?.So I searched on google/amazon/ebay, found some OEM battery and another extend battery named MPJ but need pre-order and it seems be shipped out on Oct.16….anyone have advice? Whether I should buy the OEM(cheaper) or MPJ (looks much better /4500mAh and 8500mAh available)?
I bought an oem battery last week for my n3.
Bought third party once for my n1 and they were ****ty
.
I would like to know as well.
I'm coming from Motorola which takes active measures to make non-OEM batteries useless.
Does Samsung do the same?
Hi All,
Has anyone purchased the following extended (4500 mAh) battery from MPJ?
http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-4500m...sung-galaxy-note-iii-3-n7200-n9000-n9005.html
Should I be concerned if this will work with our beloved phablet (Model # SM-900V) or not?
Since the website above didn't specifically spell this out, I'm a little hesitant to make the purchase, but, for the most part, I'm sure it will work with our phone. i'm also assuming it is exactly the same size as the original STOCK Samsung battery that came with our phones so I needn't worry about an extended battery cover as well.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance, folks!
Man I wouldn't buy that junk. The stock battery on this bad boy does phenomenal. The only after market battery I've used is Zerolemon. Those were some great batteries. They had one for the s4 that fit in the phone with the OE battery cover and was an extra 2 or 3 hundred mah since they didn't put nfc support in the battery. They also have that big 10,000 mah battery that turns the phone into a brick.
Thanks HarleyDroid,
