Any new on extended battery? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories

It looks like 900mAh is a joke for more or less serious use. Does anyone know when the extended batteries will be available.

Will there ever be one available??
Read the specification on the box and it states 285HRS standby..
Thats a DARM JOKE..
I charged my phone till 8am morning. (Full Bar)
Send 20 SMS and miss 2 phone calls.. Never use any voice call.
Bluetooth/Wifi/Infra totally disable.
4pm.. I left with only half bar..
So i believe the phone dont even survive for 24hrs!
So how the hell did they get that can of standby time..

Battery Life
i had the same problem , wfter two days it's gone !!
just discharge the battery fully , then charge again.....

I seem to be managing pretty well so far, full charge lasts about a day & a half, but only light to medium use. I noticed after I got it my batt life got better and better each time I charged it. Seems to have leveled off now.
I still think the manufacturers specs are rubbish though!!! but for a 900mAh battery and VGA screen etc. it doesn't do too bad.

do you turn you phone off? just the screen offcourse, with the power button?
and do you close all your programs after running? how about weather application? is 3g turned off? do you see a G or H sign above the signal strength?
i think if you do not use your phone, but put it on the table and look at it, you might be able to look at it for 285 hours.
talking time is only 5,5 hours. so that is quite accurate.

after 5 hours my battery goes from full charge to 20%:
- gprs/umts/hdspa syncs every 5 minutes (poll 5minutes, sync 10min)
- used mp3 player for about 15 minutes
- 4 minutes call received
- 2 manual syncs with other pop3 server
memory use between 60-70%
some tweaks would be nice
edit: that's funny, after a soft reset the device shows now 4 blocks (30%)

yes, you are constantly using 3g networks. that takes a lot of power. read the forum to find solutions for this (automatically disconnect etc)

i know it uses battery..
I used already: qtek 9100, 4350, tytn, touch dual.
All this devices run on battery more then 1 day(same sync settings)
The diamond needs 5-6 hours!
probably these futures use al lot of battery:
- 3D controller
- the processor and memory
energy saving features?

give it time
hopefully seidio will produce some extended life batteries...

Rubbish Battery Life

I hope this is not normal, i am realy dissapointed about the battery life of my vox.
Yesterday at 6 in the morning I woke up from a warning sound that the battery was almost flat. I plugged it in, got up at 11.30 and started him up.
Did 2 calls and 4 text messages, and at 22.30 when i was watching TV i got the battery warning again!
Same thing happend today, why isn't my battery lasting longer than 12 hours?
I coudn't have done something wrong while charging/discharging becous it only lasts 12 hours so its always fully discharged before recharging.
And i always closed the running apps in the task manager (taakbeheer).
What applications do you have installed that startup automatically?

i just got the original rom installed after some problems with the Neo rom
Cells in the battery might be on the verge on death. Run the battery down to 0, cover the second pin from the left with electrical tape and put it to charge while turned on or with a seperate charger. Charge it full to 100%, remove the tape and put it back to charge. Run your "daily" test again and see how she fares.
I have an extra 2250mAh I can sell you if you want, doesn't come with an extended battery cover however.
how can they be dead? i just got the phone for a week. :s factory error?
Oh, a week? That's not right at all.

Bring back to your service provider where you bought the phone from, my HTC S720 did the same thing and i got a new phone replaced and the battery issue is gone.
Altho now it freezes here and there >.<

Well, it's still Windows Mobile! <img>
I don't think it's the battery.
I had this problem about 5 times already..rebooting the phone seemed to fix it every time.
I'm not saying rebooting will fix your phone but I'm almost sure it a software issue.
were there times it did work as it should?
First recharge was held a full day of internet. and i watched a 20min episode of King Of Queens.
I'm goint to try the phone for another few days, if the problem still occurs i'll ship it back to my store.
hmm
battery is now holding fine. It could last more than a week now on standby.

HTC S710 1050 mAh battery last more than a week, unbelievable
Mine lasts 3 days tops
Now i have it @228Mhz probably 2 if I don't do anything with it.
I will be getting myself a Nokia E71 so I'll have 2 2250mAH batteries and an extended cover with soft touch if anybody is interested in buying them for cheap.
I'll also probably sell a 2GB SD and an OEM 1050mAH with it. Keeping 2 1050's at the Vox as a backup.
Just throwin' it out there.
Well not a week but i checked regularly and the batt lost about 15-20%/day on standby?
It think it needed a few charges to be fully usable.
Working fine now.
I only use it one day before recharging anyway. It drains to literally nothing. I am a very have user (or should I say gamer??^^) You know, school is sooooooo boring!
When i was in school i always had my laptop in front of me ^^
Hide taskbar + alt-bat ftw!
hey guys, according the latest test of my battery, it lasted just 3 hours with wifi on. i've just upgraded to neo rom yesterday. can any body help? and can anybody explain which cell of the battery hawaiii is talking about.
I have 2 2250mAH cell batteries if you would like them. I am no longer using my Vox so they are no use to me. They have been used for roughly one week and come with an extended battery cover with soft touch paint on it.
are these batteries bigger? do thet stick out?

XDA Ignito 2000mAh extended battery with cover

I have just bought a new 2000mAh battery with a cover that fits the Ignito from ebay (from Gps4Less, I found out they have a website too) and so far I am very impressed. The quality of the cover is ok, much better than the ones for the Diamond arriving from China. It came from the UK so I did not have to wait long for it either. I charged the battery and after about 8 hours it is still at 96%. I have attached some pictures so you can see how it looks. There is no effect on the GPS performance, I got a GPS fix with this battery inside the house in about 30 seconds after starting Tomtom. The price was good about £16 including delivery, just do a search on ebay for 2000mAh battery for Ignito and you'll surely find it. I have been waiting for this one for a long time. I will keep you updated with the battery performance over the next few days. The only problem I have now is to find a suitable case for it, but it will probably make the phone even bigger. I guess the Invisible Shield might be a better option. So far they only have it for Diamond, not the Ignito, but I might give it a try. Now I won't fear of running out of power while listening to Internet Radio on my way to and from Uni
ugly as hell...
I will never understand why people get a SLEEK phone like the Diamond and stick in a FATASS battery and mess up the fantastic dimension of the phone...
You don't always have to use that battery, but sometimes you need more power, and that's when I'm gonna use it, I will not use it every day, and it's everyone's choice in the end, you can either carry 2-3 spare batteries in your pocket or have this when you need it. It's not too bad, but as I said, it's a question of choice. I could have got the original 1340 mAh battery, the back cover is flat and looks better but I don't think it would have been enough power for my needs.
P.S. Battery is now at 87% after 24 hours of normal use with 3G on, with the phone checking emails once per hour. Not bad...
cant find battery in ebay
hi,
can you send me the link.....can t find the battery .....

j,
Hi, here's one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350144524998
or this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/O2-XDA-IGNITO...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262 which includes a cradle as well.
Over two days and the battery is at 72% with 3G on and standard settings, usually by now I would have had to charge my battery. The best I got from the standard battery was close to 3 days with the 3G turned off(GSM mode).
Thanks for that hind, I've bought it this morning because I need an extend battery too!
Thanks mate!
Hope you get that out of your pocket when no one's looking.
At least the official one didn't fall from the ugly tree:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=173907
Honestly, it doesn't look that bad when you have it in your hand, and it lasts way more than the official 1350mAh battery that expansys is selling for over £50. This one was only £16. Now onto 5th day without charging, battery 49%. What more can I say?
Just ordered this battery as after 1 day out using WiFi to check mail and other websites as well as playing games on the car journey and listening to some music my standard battery died after less than 10 hours!?! This should rectify this problem....
Thanks zoltar
Quick qusetion though, does it actually fit in any Ignito/Diamond cases now? (I don't use one just curious)

It does fit XDA Ignito from O2, it won't fit the original Touch Diamond, the back fitting is different. So, order this one only if you have an Ignito, otherwise look for a Diamond back case.
My extended battery just died this afternoo after more than 6 days since being charged, and only because I used my phone to listen to internet radio for more than 2 hours (it was 29% this morning). The last mobile phone to last me that long was a Philips with a black and white screen that I had back in 2000 - about 6-7 days. And it didn't have internet, music, office mobile, touch screen or colour screen.
I believe that if the manufacturer would make the back of the case flat, getting rid of the 'hump', a lot more people would buy it as many are being put off by that (see previous posts). But the battery is brilliant. I could go on a week holiday without taking any charger with me
I just have the phone next to me when I go to bed and attach it to charger.
It lasts the whole day with HSDPA and Bluetooth on (for carkit), and even some navigation will work. For car trips I have the car charger.
I never, but then NEVER had any battery-issues in my everyday use. I have a feeling everyone is just not needing the battery.
What is wrong with charging regularly overnight?
And yes, it looks damn ugly.
Oh,come on. you're advertising your ebay shop, right?

It arrived this morning, doesn't have a "massive hump" and actually feels ok whilst in hand. (Even I was surprised) Just one quick question do you charge yours with the cradle or does your original Ignito charge it no problem?
Thanks
p.s I just got an cradle, usb charger and mains charger that fits the cradle... no instructions ?!?! ah well can't be rocket science can it

If you were referring to me , you are wrong mate! It's not my shop, I just happened to buy it and found it a good product and thought I could help by posting pictures of it and my experience. If you check my other posts on this forum, you will see I have also bought other products for my Ignito on ebay from other shops.
To ant611982:
I charge mine either using the phone (I got mine without the cradle) or a separate charger I bought on ebay that charges the phone and a spare battery, but doesn't have a cradle. It can charge both the phone and a spare battery at the same time without any problem.
Zoltar do you use a case with this extended battery on? I can't seem to find one to fit. ONLY downside.
Thanks

I'm afraid I have the same problem I was thinking of buying the invisible shield, but i couldn't find one cut specially for the Ignito.
Edit: I found the following cases that might fit. They are for the Touch Pro, but should fit a thicker Diamond as well. I still have to make up my mind which one to choose. There are others on ebay, but most of them in Hong Kong, and if you are prepared to wait about 2 weeks for delivery, fine.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belt-Leather-...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This one seems really good to me.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-L...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This one is from HK, but it is symilar to the original HTC case and it flexible on the sides.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/L1u-Leather-P...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This is also from HK but it is a lot cheaper than the others. Looks ok in the pictures, not sure about quality. Not leather though.
I got my battery a few days ago and had used it since then! It's working really great, it feels that my Diamond would run more than doubled as with the stock one and GPS is also working!
Now I love my new device much more!
I would rather have this battery over the official one for the extra battery life, but wouldn't be able to live with the cover that comes with it. Anybody know if it'll fit into the offical extended battery case (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172103)?

Extended Battery

I get about two extra hours with this battery than the oem, if you are a lighter user you can get even more.
http://cgi.ebay.com/1600mAh-Extende..._Accessories?hash=item33565de06f#ht_500wt_956
How long have you had it and no issues? Some of these third party batteries can be flafy and this seems awfull cheao.I am interested to hear your experience.
I've had it maybe 2 weeks now and I don' t take it out still waiting on my external charger from hong kong. It really works great and for 17 bucks if it lasts me 2 months I'll be happy but this particular seller has had no complaints about her batteries so I would give it a .
Yes I went to her listing and saw the high rating thx for the tip and you may want to go here.I bot a car charger cover and cable for $8http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Black-Silicone-Charger-Imagio/dp/B002S4T1OW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1257705205&sr=8-9

How many hours did you get with the stock 1500 mAh battery?
Good find.
I'm guessing this battery is compatible with the Imagio? I don't see it listed under compatability.
Definitely compatible, It is 8:30 in the am I charged it the night before last I have 32 percent battery left currently. Now yesterday was a lighter than normal phone usage day for me but I made calls and checked email all day. The oem battery lasts me from about 8 in the morning till about 7 in the evening which is my normal usage which I consider heavy. I email, call, text, and scan documents with it all day long. I would say the rhodium 1600mah battery would get me to about 9-930 before needing to put it on the charger or replacing the battery. With two batteries you can't go wrong. If you are dying in the afternoon to early evening don't expect this battery to last you till midnight because that's unrealistic. Stock this phone has several applications that access the internet and cell phone towers constantly so if you consider what it is done the battery life is quite good, especially compared to my fiance's droid.

This is what I use because I can charge my phone, mp3 player, bluetooth headset and my battery operated lighter (don't ask was a gift) and never have to pull it in and out of the socket. You can plug a unpowered usb hub and charge several at once. And then you always have your data cable on you.

Touch Pro 2 battery In DZ

Hey All,
Today I decided to look into a larger capacity battery for my DZ NAM, and I took a look at my old Touch Pro 2...
The Battery fits quite well, its 1500mAh as opposed to the 1300 with the DZ.
I had to trim out the plastic on the TP2 battery, and then place it in upside down.
The cover pops up slightly after the battery is in, nothing that would bother you lots, in other words its not as flush as the original DZ battery.
I am going to use it to swap out between my 2 batteries.
Hope this helps, not bad for a free battery in my case
Great news !!
I have also a BA-S390 from my old Touch Pro 2... I'll try this tonight !
When you charge the battery inside the phone is it getting hotter or colder than the original DZ battery ?
I just got 2.5 days out of my stock Z battery and still had 60% left (granted didn't use it much).
I left my charger at work, and had a snow day yesterday.
I don't know what all the fuss about battery life is about.

Len,
To get 2.5 days out of a smartphone you must firstly not be overclocking at all, and secondly you must not have used it one bit.
2.5 days = total non usage
Even the iphone4 with its powersaving a4 chip does not get 2.5 days, unless you dont touch the beast.
And i like to generally use my phone

Actually I am overclocked to 1.4ghz and underclocked for screen off.
You are right, I hardly touched the phone at all, I did need it as an alarm twice in the time I was without a charger. (I was forced into this situation by leaving my charger at work)
But it shows that with no use the phone only loses 1% a day.
I generally lose about 2-4 percent an hour not in use. But my phone is sync'ed up to everything, lol

Mine was down at 30% after exactly 48 hours.
Which is great, cause I did use it. Played Angry birds, sent sms and made a phonecall.

Who said anything about fuss?
I was pointing out that the TP2 battery works, and is larger capacity... I have a ton of reasons to have a second battery and would rather not spend an extra $40.
I travel lots... and I use my phone to watch tv on the plan.
Not sure about how hot the battery gets on charge, haven't used it much yet.
As for the original I get 2 days with moderate use.

that comment wasn't aimed at you
Just that there have been lots of complaints about battery life on this phone (and the desire HD)...those people obviously never had a Desire as the battery life on the Z and HD are loads better than the desire ever was.
agreed, I find the stock battery tollerable on my DZ
@Blesseld: i also have a tp2 battery lying around, so if you happen to charge it, i would be really thankful for any reports about the charging behavior...

I have descended from tp2pro aswell, and must admit that I have used my old tp2 battery from the second day I had a DZ. I must admit I have 'trimmed' it so that it doesn't cause any bulge on the metal flap covering the batt compartment, and I can say that even though the old batt is 6 months old it performs well enough to get me through the whole working day. I do make a lot of calls a day, I keep I-net connection constantly on, and I never switch Bluetooth off....
I realize its a heavy load on the battery but afterall I got the fone to do its job (calls, emails, driving, gps, etc).
The battery lasts well into from 8am to 7pm (with my heavy usage) but must say that whenever I'm driving I will have fone charging, regardless of its power level.
Nevertheless, I have a spare battery at hand ( original DZ one) should the worst happen.
FYI, my daily batt stats is usually as follows: display 30percent, voice calls 35 percent, and remaining 35 percent spread somewhat evenly amongst remaining series that have to run in the background.
Unfortunately though, I haven't got enough experience with the original DZ battery, to give you a comparison.... remember I used it only for a day or two, when I was still getting used to the whole new world of android and DZ

Does anyone have experience with the 1800mAh Mugen battery from the TP2 in the DZ? I'm tempted to go for that assuming it fits...?

[REVIEW] 1600mah batteries and charger

This is a quick little review of some 1600mah extended batteries for the desire HD. thees batteries where bought off of ebay from 2 different sellers, but both seem to be the same quaility and same manufacturer.
first of all, you can get these here
2x 1600mah extended battery with charger - LINK
1x 1600mah extended battery - LINK
So now for a bit of a review...
2x batteries and charger. - both batteries arrived relatively quickly, in a padded envolope. with there free shipping it was a little bit less than a week. came it great condition.
1x battery - paid $5 extra for expedited shipping, arrived in 2 days. works perfectly
Battery performance - all of the batteries have around the same performance. the ones with the charger have slightly less battery life but it is still better than the stock 1230mah. i can now easily go a full day of browsing the web and playing games without recharging. although, i dont like my batteries getting too low, cuz i know if they fully discharge it can be bad for them so at 20% i swap the one ive been using for one that ive charged overnight. the way i have it set up, i always will hae a battery fully charged. i have one in the phone and one in the charger overnight. wake up take both and put the other extended in the charger while i am gone. come back and before i go to sleep i swap again. they all get used equally then.
One problem that i have seen though, is that sometimes when i reboot or swap them out, when the phone starts up, it says there is 0% battery left. it is usually fixable by a quick wipe of the battery stats in recovery. has only happened to me in aosp roms though, sense runs fine.
overall, id give them a 4/5 rating because of the low cost and quality, but also because of that glitch(although it could just be software related)
pics up soon to show exact battery life and the batteries themselves
Okey n1 review. Perhaps i will get one of those batteries hate to charge all the time

I would love to see some stats/screenshots of Battery Monitor Widget just so that we can see what you mean by saying that you are browsing and playing games all day.
When i'm using my phone with the screen on all the time then i've got a drain of 1% per 5 minutes. That gives me a bit more than 8 hours before the phone is dead.
On the other hand the maximum standby time is a bit more than 100 hours (1% per 60 minutes) or more than 4 days.
That said you could have really great battery life if you've got more than 2.5 hours of screen on time in one day or it's terrible because the screen on time is way below 2.5 hours.
That's allways based on the assumption that your battery is depleted after 24 hours. "a full day" could also be a work day meaning unplugged at 6 am and recharching at 6 pm.
/edit:
about that 0% glitch: I'm using an Evo3D Anker 1900mAh battery in my DHD and got the same problem. I also think that it's related to me using an aosp rom.
I actually have this one!!! ordered from dealextreme.com!
its working fine 1230 mah real size! there is no bigger batteris than 1300 mah!

There IS a battery that is more than 1300mAh, the Mugen 1500mAh. Search for it on this forum
There is also the Mugen skin that clips on and holds another 2000?mAh, but that is not entirely practical...

That's why you should stuff an Evo3D/Sensation battery in there
Those have 1500mAh or more (and really do!)

These batteries do hold more juice than the stock. I don't know why people are complaining about them. For $9 you get 2 batteries and a charger. Even if they where only the stock size, you can still swap them.

Problem is, these claims have no substance without numbers. Do you have any test results proving the battery life is greater over stock?

great....clicked the "thanks" button instead of the "quote" button....
anyway:
it doesn't matter if your phone isn't on for some time....just let Battery Monitor Widget run from 100% to 0% and then show us screenshots of the stats it gathered.
Thoughts about how well your batteries performed aren't needed. I bet you i could give you the exact same thoughts you have about your batteries only that the time from 100% to 0% differs by as much as a day....

Here are the stats as of now, I have been texting, listening to music, surfing the web, and surfing through xda all day.
If I would be using the stock battery, it would have been dead already.

Battery Monitor Widget:
It's in german so this is what it says in english:
(in the info bar at the top you can see that i had still got 31% charge)
- has been unplugged for 1 day and 2 hours
- has been used for 5h20m or 20%
- screen was on for 2h31m or 9%
- wifi was on for 2h03m or 7%
- bluetooth was on for 1h32m or 5%
It doesn't say anything about how much the gpu was used (for example there is no reliable way of telling how much the usage of opengl drains your battery...at least as far as i know).
But it still gives you better info about how i used my phone and how much you'd get if you were using the same battery.
