.... and i gotta say im LOVING it . Im up , rooted , custom rom and theme in less than an hour . The screen is AMAZING . Never realized how washed out my X looked . Just wanted to say hello , and hopefully we can share some good times together
Ya i was close to chooseing a x myself but at teh end this had a better screen and faster hardware plus imo a better form factor. Enjoy the phone things will heat up soon after 2.2 gets released.
Same here. Wanted the X because it had better accessories (at the time) and was, well....bigger.
The downside, of course, was that otorola being dickish about the bootloader.
The Fascinate pretty much made up my mind the moment it hit the shelves. The downside being Samsung's notorious penchant for delayed or non-existent updates...
yeah , but im pretty confident we will get that update this month (or maybe optimistic is a better word). And i know the devs will have it to us in roms just as soon as they can. A much smaller community for fascinate users so far ,got to tell the droid x forum goodbye haha
Quick uestion you guys might have an answer to without swimming through threads. After installing superpower on my DX , my battery life was AMAZING . like heavy usage from noon to four in the morning got me down to like 40%. This battery is larger , and i have superpower installed again... and just lost 20% in an hour....while sitting and watching Dexter haha .
Any secret tips or anything?
My experience is there's too much mumbo jumbo in getting the most out of a battery. I will say my initial experience with my Fascinate's battery life was borderline poor. I was generally charging my battery twice a day with what I considered moderate use. It felt like 2 hours of heavy use could finish me right off - low battery warning at night would mean a dead phone in the morning. The monitor was reporting my display was eating 80% of my battery life, and it felt like just looking at the thing would tick down my indicator by 10%,
Anyway, I [hope] I figured out where I went wrong the first time. My instinct when I got the phone, which I received activated with battery in, was to use it as little as possible until I could get it on a charger. I think this was the exact opposite of what I should have done, and cumy battery experience nearly in half.
To remedy this, I ran my battery down to completely dead, ignoring all the warnings until it actually kicked out. After that, I charged the phone (which takes about 3 hours on the AC charger) and then left it charging overnight. In my case I did this with the phone off and the battery icon displayed.
[I read that you want about two hours of overcharging -- but please do it in a cool place, letting your battery get too warm will cause it to oxidize faster, speeding the permanent damage that lowers the cieling output on LiOn batteries.]
The thinking here is that the battery system itself isn't very intelligent. It doesn't know the exact point where the battery will run out, nor is it necessarily certain when the battery is fully charged. It's recommended that once a month you fully power cycle the battery to retrain the system to understand what its limits are.
That was it. Now I get what I consider to be acceptable battery life. My display tends to eat about 50% of my battery life over a day, and I can actually use the phone without watching the battery tick down. I only tend to get a day of use, but I could push it to two or maybe three if I weren't so addicted to the thing.
I am not using any battery apps except for the Touchwiz task manager widget on my home screen.
Interesting , i have heard that approch before for my dx but didnt think it could possibly work. Now that i have heard it twice i will definitely give it a try . Its kinda funny that the thing that is so beautiful ( the screen ) is the death of me ... but isnt that always the case?? haha . Ill give it a whirl and report back . Thanks Soba .

yeah man , it made since . i worked at radioshack several years ago , and we told people to let their rechargeable batteries run all the way down before they recharged , unless they were nicad.
but just for the record this method ABSOLUTELY WORKS . from 11am to now 7:20pm , with moderate usage , im now at 75%. Thats pretty damn acceptable if you ask me . haha.
thanks a lot for the step by step , and would suggest you make a thread on it . Because if you do it step for step , it works like a champ .Thanks again .

good day.
Ok so quick question.
I am looking at purchasing an extended battery for my HD2 which is running a MIUI custom android 2.3.4 rom (BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD | GINGER Sense&HoneyComB | MIUI).
Since I have under 8 posts, I am unable to provide the link, but from ebay's homepage, I used the search: NEW BATTERY FOR HTC HD2 EXTENDED + DOOR T-MOBILE 3500MH
What I am curious about is that this post says it is a 3500MH battery, yet no where on the pics do I see this on the battery itself.
Is there an application out there that I can install that will verify this battery is indeed 3500MH once I install it? I have googled like crazy for this answer already & I have searched the forums already for similar threads, so lets keep the peanut gallery replies to a minimum. Respectful assistance is all that is needed.
Thanks for the help on this one.

After looking at it, I think it may be encrypted in the part number cuz it goes '35H00' I think there is an app, but you may want to search 'battery' in the market, as I haven't used them; also if you get it, make sure you calibrate you battery.
lol if i knew you would have had the answer, I would have just pm'ed you! thanks for the info, I should have googled the battery model number. I had searched battery in the market, but all that came up were battery saver apps and what not. Juice defender seems pretty decent, but I never have kept a rom on the phone long enough to notice a difference in battery.
do extended battery show correct perecentage in windows mobile ?
I doubt it will show correct percentage, but I am running Android, which is not showing correct percentage. I have to reboot phone once battery is low andthen it shows the true remaining amount. Once it gets down to 15% it stays there for a while. I got the 3500mah battery from eBay for like ten bucks and its worth it, but the cheap plastic back cover that comes with it sucks.
I got this
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=270737783770
Inclues a case and is original HTC so works correctly. The build quality is very good.
The El cheapo ones that quote BS numbers don't give you any longer battery life from what I've read. And, they tend to loose capacity quickly. Reality is, unless you switch to a radically different technology, the storage density stays the same. So, if you have two batteries the same size, and one offers 2300 and another 3500... guess which one is using a bit of controller ic trickery to feed you BS. The fact that they don't work properly is a good giveaway.
Seriously, if you had the tech to double the density, would you be selling it on eBay for ten bucks?
Thanks you for all information.
Nothing
Don't mad at me if I said wrong ................
Why battery life so fast?
- Because all of we are installing( flashing ) every roms that we like......
- The first time when you change your phone's version , that time is not much for your battery....
- But when you flash one after one , it effects on battery life...... you know why?
- Because All of we want to try every rom ( the main problem is we want stable rom for daily use )
-If this rom not stable or get FC want to change another rom... some they don't want to fix that problem including me
-How to fix battery problem?
It's simple
If you have stable rom for daily use , buy New battery (original battery)
and if you want to use for changing rom u use old battery , and you think it's stable rom, put new battery ,,,,,,,
I think I solved battery drain problem
Hit Thanks If I help you
I will 8plain why I say for some almost every roms ..... After I cameback from my work
I can't see the text behind the smiles...
I have a better solution... don't flash a new rom every week, flash one and stick with it.
Also let me be the first ass to say WRONG SECTION!

Or just stick to it for a couple months then update it. ;D
Also, remove to general section of X10.
This is the most stupid thread i have seen.
Nothing to do with development.
Remove this please,
Interesting use of Smiley faces here...
well man, i don't know if you tried this but... in market there's an app called, battery calibrator, is obvious what it does, isnt it? ok, if you follow its directions you're gonna have a good battery life, sometimes removing battery stats from xrec manually does not work very well, but, if you do it through this app, it works very good, just charge your phone until it gets 100%, click on calibrate (into the app, it removes battery stats), then unplug phone, use it until it drains the whole charge of the battery, i mean until it turns off, if you really needed that calibration, you're gonna realize that the last 10% lasts, foreveeeeeeer, what does it mean? that our phones, never get the true 100%, maybe it gets about, don't know, 90% but, the OS thinks it is fully charged, so it begins to stop charging. When the phone is turned off, charge it (i dont know if turned on or off, i do it off, the app does not say it) until it gets 100%, then turn it on, enjoy.

Do you think is it the most stupid thread in XDA?
I didn't say this is the best thread in XDA
Even you know how to do this .... Some of our developers are ( new members )
still don't know this problem
Is there something wrong with my 8plaination?
If I'm wrong plz 4give me .......
I want to request forgiveness from you
I just intend for new members who are still don't know about battery life
Do you know why?
Some of deps are thinking that Example: Wolf's rom .... they flash wolf rom
and they feel rom is so fast but battery life very fast finish....
then they think this rom we cannot use because battery life no good
then they changed another rom like Achotjan's rom again....
So ...... battery life is slowly and slowly down after rom and rom......
But they didn't think that because of flashing roms......
Thanks Bro for yours
cool story bro
Troll story bro
brool story co.
-_-
Can we please just close this thread.
any look inside the barterie?
normal bateries from computer handys and .... have a eeprom that save data from!!!!
or you could just wipe your battery stats, and use proper engrish
I think OP shall be best friends forever with Mr Berma, you guys will have a lot of common language together...lol

The x10 only has a heat probe and the driving circuits for the cell.
The Chargemon handles the battery statistics by checking current flow and voltage.

Itz truely helpful dude.....

Truely appriciate ur efforts dude...
This is a message to all the devs who are planning to create their own masterpiece roms for the s3. one thing i would like to say is: Do whatever you have to do BUT please Make sure the battery consumption is taken into consideration when making the roms. we want longer battery life and not quick and short battery life
This phone doesn't have battery replacement for nothing. And a dock that can charge your phone and an extra battery at the same time.
But I agree. At least better then stock = a good step forward
good idea, i'll see what I can do, but not sure if its even possible.
This is not dev should be in general section. :what:

my point was, some devs make a rom but it drains the battery. Battery consumption should be priority number 1

actually its the part of kernel developers. you can wait for a custom rom that comes with good battery life.
I think it's pretty logic that developers try to improve the battery life. I don't think you should have posted it x"D They will try their best, don't worry.
I would never make a post like this, to me this sounds incredibly demanding and strange. Maybe I just read too much into it, and maybe you didn't mean it like that. If I was a developer I wouldn't really appreciate something like this. I don't think there are very many ROM developers out there who actively work toward a shorter battery life in their ROMs.
I'm just going to keep quiet and appreciate the fact that some amazing devs are going to make some really cool stuff for this phone, absolutely free of charge. I won't make demands and I'll try not to pester them in any way. I'll try a few ROMs out and donate to the devs I feel are making the best stuff.
This sounds kinda goody-two-shoes, I know, but the tone of your post annoyed me, sorry about the rant...
im not killing any devs of saying that they make roms with low battery life. im just saying keep the battery consumption in mind. i wasnt ordering anyone or anything like that. if it seems like i did then im sorry, but i mean no harm. im just saying battery consumption should be focused upon

Like I said, I probably just read too much into what you wrote. Sorry about that... peace, love and understanding, make love not war and all that jazz...
One of the features I was really looking forward to on this new update, was battery and memory consumption. After a full charge and 12hrs of use, here are some screenshots of what it's looking like for me.
3:30 screen on time and still 25% battery life. On KitKat and Lollipop, using basically the same apps, I was nowhere near those numbers.
Find it amazing, specially knowing I almost doubled my usage today just to see what my numbers looked like. Looks like a great start with M6 for me. What's it looking like for you guys??
