Hello everyone,
I have currently problems with 3 original PH17B Batteries for my MDA II and XDA II: the devices shut down mostly at over 20% without any warning - so I decide to buy a new accu with more Power. Is there anyone having this problem too and tried this? I´ve seen 1,2 Ah original batteries and not original ones with 1,5 - 1,7 - 2,4 and 3,6 Ah for the Himalaya and other (2,4 and 3,6 are sold with new backcover).
Is there anyone who tried this other accus and had no more problems?
Would a 2,4 Ah accu nearly double the time I can use this devices?
Would it be certainly that this problem won´t come back with 2,4 or even 3,6 Ah accus?
Thanks very much!
(sorry for my maybe bad english but I´m german - I hope it´s possible to understand everything ;-) )
I have been using a 2500mAh extended replacement battery which comes with its own back cover. The original one that came with the Hima was giving at best 1 1/2 days of use. It had to be charged every night so it won't run out the next day. I've bought 2 replacement 1200mAh since but they had the same battery life as the original. The 2500mAh is giving me a whopping 3 - 4 days of average/heavy use and a more than a week of stand-by time. If you don't mind the bump in the back (which by the way has made my leather/silicon cases unusable) then i would highly recommend it.
P.S. regarding the battery shutting down at 20%, it was an issue on some of the ROMS here but the later ones seem to have fixed that. If you have this problem then try installing Batti app. It was suggested by some previously and I have found it to work when I had that problem.
How strange!
I had bought a 3600mAh extended replacement battery. It have to be charged every day.
The new battery is giving me of stand-by time.
Is it normally?
When I bought it, I expected more.
The pocket pc have a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.
I used a 3,6 Ah battery for more than a year, and one out of sudden it died.
I figuered out that the connections of the akku packs broke because of the huge dimensions. There are big mechanic forces working on the back of the device while using such an akku. It lasted nearly one week to recharge it, that was fine.
has anyone tried this?

what is your opinion of it? also is it the same size as the original battery?
Im using it along with an anker 1900 battery. They both preform the same to my usage
It is a heavier battery than my anker though.

yup, same size with the original. It felt a lot better, few hours longer battery life.
E.g. : if you just keep the phone idle for 5 hours, it sill 100% remain.
sorry for my english

I bought this battery in 2011y on ebay that claimed to be 2450mAh but it was only 1400-1500mAh.
Original battery works for me (on JB ROM) around 18-24h, with this fake - around 20-26h.
Sry my english... =)
Buy batteries from a reputable dealer, too many counterfeit ones going around! I just bought mugen 3600 directly from mugen, it's been amazing! Highly recommend! It's worth the cost !
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.
Just bought one in Spain from eBay too. 8.5 eur, free shipping. I'll discharge it first to 0( it came 70% charged), then I'll run nova battery tester benchmark and post results. The stock battery gave me 1420mah until the phone switched off at 1% on the long test of that app. Using pydx kernel, elegancia 5 rom.

Sorry, can't test it. This app shows me 0mah with that battery and always 25C temperature

How well does it perform compared to the Anker one? The most I've gotten out of my Anker so far is three and a half day, but that is without using it a lot. I find that it mostly depends on the ROM you're using tho, and due to that I prefer the sensless ROMs, because they seem to run a lot lighter than their Sense counterparts. But hey, that's my observation.

What's your screen on time?
Someone got 4 days, 2h40m screen and 45 min in call using anker battery.

Okay I want to put this business about bad battery life and battery bugs and all that jazz to bed.
Look at my battery graph. I rest my case.
Any battery problems are not with the ROM. It's clearly capable of having disgustingly good battery life.
That's 4 DAYS since unplugging with 8% battery life left as of right now.
That includes 2 hours and 40 minutes of screen on time
45 minutes of phone talk time
This is on the April 26th build. And this is the FIRST charge since flashing that build. So the battery use probably isn't even maximized yet.
My settings are OnDemand 192 - 1242
Anker battery
Auto Brightness is off and I use the notification bar swipe to adjust brightness as needed
Alterations made to the Google Services Framework to eliminate Google Wakelocks (this has nothing to do with Albino's code, hence it's not the ROM) Click here for more details
Greenify to keep other wakelocky apps on a short leash. (I'm looking at you T Mobile's My Account app. You're so useful but you think you own the place!)
Haptic feedback is off for everything. The only thing that's allowed to use the vibration function is the ringer (I don't use a ringtone, vibrate only) and reminder notifications. If you have haptic feedback on for every press on the screen and keyboard you are basically giving up battery power to run a small electric motor. That's not an efficient use of limited battery life.
Full disclosure. I don't keep mobile data on all the time. I turn it on as needed. And I've been very busy doing other stuff the past 4 days so there hasn't been a ton of use time. Obviously if I had been using it more it wouldn't have lasted 4 days. But if the ROM can idle for 4 days and not drain itself dry, then battery problems aren't in the ROM. They are with apps, settings, or user error. Albino's ROM can be configured to run for what may as well be for freakin' ever on a single charge. I'm half expecting him to add "sustainable cold nuclear fusion" to the changelog of the next build.
So if you've got battery issues, go buy an Anker before you do anything else. Even if you have other problem that will make everything better. And stop talking about battery issues in this thread. Come to the FAQ thread (see link in my signature) and ask questions about how to improve battery life there. We'll take all battery questions there with a smile and be glad to help you, where in this thread battery questions will be met with verbal beratement for clogging up the thread with whining.

dont mess with these batterys
they usualy fake, has a wrap that can be removed, and then you will see its says 1600~mah
the anker and mugen 1950 are real 1950 mah and the max power u can get without extending the case(anker is cheaper thou so its more recommended)
hi fellas,
i have a sensation z710
i have random shuwdown problem for a while.
i tried different roms, different kernels,firmware update, battery calibration. i put a piece of paper on the bottom of battery
but i still have same problem.
and i noticed that when phone has %70-80 charge and when it shut down, after i start it again, it says low battery and shows %10-15 battery.
i wanted to try another battery but i dont want to spend money for that before i would be sure, problem is my battery.
is there any thing ı can do to fix this problem?
thanks for helping

Although I can't be 100% sure, it sounds like your battery... What battery are you using?
I suggest you buy an original Anker 1900Mah battery, and see how you go.
you need a new battery, your battery is getting old, that is why random reboots are popping......how long did u have the battery? If u have the battery for almost a year and a half, time to start changing
i have stock battery and it s almost two years old. Time to change battery ha ?

YES! Please get Anker Battery from eBay or Amazon. It will make your life more easier

http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-1900mA...75&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+battery+sensation+4g
battery lifetime does not only depend on age, but also on usage.
for my knowledge (correct me if i am wrong) lion batteries suffer age and heat (so usage in my opinion has a little impact only). i received my htc sensation some mounths ago from my brother that changed phone and the battery was swollen. in fact the phone shuts down very much. i have an anker battery from some days and the problem disappeared check if he battery is swollen, if yes change it!

They are affected by chage and discharge as well. The charge and discharge is hard on the battery and causes it to wear out. But that's also how you use it. So basically using it wears it out. Same as car tires. They will last a long time if you keep the car parked. But the more you drive the faster the tires wear out.
Got this as a spare for my LG V10, it works at least as well as the original battery, same time charging, handled 2 days heavier than usual usage :good:
http://goo.gl/HrG5Rn
Yeah that brand is pretty good
LG original battery with MM H96220a drained 4-5% over night, the night I got it the MPJ drained 3%, next day I installed MM 20b and it drained 2%, next night again 3%, I assumed it was the new MM having a more efficient DOZE function
Last night I tested with the original battery and it drained 4%, so it is the new battery, I wonder why, the original only had 6 months use

I dont play games nor music (usually), otherwise I use the phone instead of the PC except in the morning :good:
Yeah I would take it for standed usage but for gaming? Forget it! You'll need a big battery for gaming.
my org. Lg bat. holds about 3h SOT...no gaming, wifi, sincr., mobile data - always on...screen brightness 50 %...
That's good but try with the battery charger cause I got 5HRs with my G4
Still recommend this battery? I need a few more.

Yeah I have been using the Zerolemon battery case but it sucks because the phone never realised the full size of the batteries. I have an MPJ charger and am going to order another one and some of their batteries and a different case.

Of course not. The battery's capacity is kept in the kernel @3000mah like the G4 and All other Phones
I'm just an end user. I previously owned Nexus devices and changed ROM and kernel before but I don't really know a whole great deal I'm just good at following directions.

I wonder about this. The V10 batteries have 4 contacts on them. That is the right number for the 2 extras to be either SMBus or I2C. If so, then the battery should be able to tell the OS its actual size, but as you state it could be hardwired not to believe anything more. This would be a tragedy as being able to report a true battery capacity that is greater than the original would be valuable.
A more likely theory is the battery manufacturer used the exact same IC, wired/programmed identically to LG's and thus it reports 3000mAh. A bit more time on their part and it likely could have reported its true capacity. A noticeable loss either way.
I like your info. But what's the contacts have to do with the capacity? Also I believe that somewhere in the kernels.txt file we could edit the capacity to whatever number we'd like
Looking for a good battery suggestion,
Tried to order anker and ravpower ones from amazon.co.uk but seems that they don't deliver batteries to greece
so if anyone has any experience with a good battery from an european shop please let me know.
Its the second battery i'll buy this year, too tired of the counterfeti samsung batteries out there..!
https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Repl...pm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.271.761d3c00WHeR2B
Bought this and just got it yesterday...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ge_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=externalinformat
I've fully charged overnight and am testing usage now.
UPDATE
After my earlier (today) post I updated to the latest LOS 14.1 on my Tmo S4 with that battery fully charged and started goofing around. I'm attaching a screenshot from 5 minutes ago which represents a little over 6 hours of on time. I installed and used some apps. I locked the screen to 30 minutes before shutdown. It had adaptive brightness set and was indoors the entire time.
I streamed from Spotify for about an hour. I left it on and streamed episodes of The 100 on Netflix while I took my lunch break and did some work... maybe two hours total.
Who knows how it will work out in the long run - that's the real test.
How is performance of new battery ?

Well 100% full disclosure, this S4 isn't my driver. It's kind of a test phone. I have been playing with it but essentially I've set it back to stock 4.4.4 and now have installed Lineage 14.1. No real long term use. The battery is taking a charge and seems to be holding it but other than that quickish stress test I'm not really "using" the phone.
I think with these third party ones you really just need to read the reviews and look for common failings in the negative ones. I bought the one listed above to replace the one I had for a solid three years before that eventually expanded outside of it's casing from years of recharging. I can tell you it works, it takes a licking and beyond that only time will tell.
Good luck!
I bought a Polarcell battery from a German seller on Ebay (wannsee-electronic) for over 2 months and it is working flawlessly. I have an S4 i9500 with LineageOS 14 and the battery life is better than the original battery in the ROM Touchwiz.
I am using this battery (build 2017) since since nearly a year and I am very happy with it. Battery still works flawlessly.

Here are some screenshots. Phone is now in usage for over two days. SOT is now nearly 3 housrs and 8 % left.At night I use flight mode. My phone is completely google free - so no gapps. I am using currently lineage 14.1 official. I believe with the new lineage 16.0 ROM from jdc-team battery performances will be even better.

Anyone know where to get batteries now? Seems like the unofficial ones are really bad on eBay because they're old, sadly the used ones are the best but they're pretty bad too.
