Hello. I upgraded from the stock 1390 to 3500 battery. Now, the phone doesn't properly read the battery juice. Does anyone know how or is willing to attempt to find out how to modify the phone to properly read the new battery?
Thank you!
Hello, I just went with my wife two hours ago and we upgraded her to the Droid 2 global and the salesman told us there wasn't an extended battery for her phone. So just out of curiosity where did you find one and does it come with a bigger battery cover? She loves the phone but I'm sure she will grow to hate the battery life of these smart phones.

I bought mine at the Verizon store, i order 6 (company phones), they had to ship them, but i got them the next day. They come with a battery cover, which you can get in the blue or white covers (you can actually get it in black also because it is the same extended battery that from the original droid and droid 2). The cover adds about 2-3mm to the phone but it still works in the car dock. It allows me to use the phone all day without plugging it in.
I'd like to back up your question as well. Online there is extended batteries but the only reason I won't get one due to the phone not reading it right.
I've heard that if you simply shut off the phone and on again It adjust but this is a workaround.

I was browsing here for a friend and stumbled upon this,
your best bet is to recalibrate the battery, pretty much let it fully charge and wipe the battery stats via clockworkmod bootloader
When I buy my extended battery I'll have to try this thanks

So I found this application for rooted users I believe. Does the same as mentioned above with recalibrating the battery but makes it a little easier. It's called battery recalibration.

Not sure if this applies to the Droid 2 Global but on the Milestone you can simply delete /data/batterystats.bin ("rm /data/batterystats.bin" without the quotes in Terminal Emulator/console/ADB).
The next time the phone's plugged in it will recreate this file, it's best to make sure the battery's fully charged up.
Look for the battery calibratio thread in the Droid/Milestone forum to find out how to fully charge the battery properly, basically just charge it to 100%, turn off the phone, plug it into the wall charger and then reinsert the battery once you see the "?" Inside the battery icon and let it sit for an other 30 mins or so until the phone is cool to the touch.

There is a new app in the market place called battery Calibration. It does the Battery.bin deletion from a easy to use user interface.

I've Been using my nexus and realized that the battery gets empty after 4 or 5 hours if i'm lucky.
I don't believe that i have a faulty one. The thing is that i do a intensive use of my N1 (even stop using my laptop for a wide range of tasks ). So i'm not surprised this is happening. So, I'm wondering if there's a more powerful one that gets me through the full day without messing with garanty or the phone.

But if you're using it so heavily that you empty it in 5 to 6 hours, even the 3200 might not get you through the day.
I see... i'VE be watching the distribution of the battery use, and realized the 80% of the charge goes to the touch screen, and the other 20% is enough to all the apps and services... Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile app
thank you Paulk for your input. Made me realize that
i really don't want a more powerful battery (because it will be necessary also to change the back phone cover). Instead I'll be buying a spare battery (or 2). Sad is the fact that there aren't chargers to the spare... you'll have to put it inside the phone to actually charge it. This is true right?
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile app
Some phone docks do include a spare battery port for charging the spare. I don't believe that the official N1 desktop dock has this feature. Otherwise, yes, you'd have to charge it inside the phone itself.
Are you rooted? I swear, after 50/80 text messages a day, 2-3 hours of music, and 12/30 emails per day, I get home with about 40% battery. I do however use SetCpu profiles
yeah. I'm planning to buy a spare one and the car dock. and yes it only charges the phone it self. so i think is something Google and HTC should look into. but it's not a disaster. if you start the day with 2 fully charged batteries there's the possibility to get to the end of the day. then to charge those too batteries you will need about 4 or 5 hours i gess - a job to do during the night. It could be worse.

No, you can find chargers on eBay that will charge just the batteries. I've also seen an auction which has a battery charger and 2 batteries (might be the one in the thread U$20 *delivered*: "2x1400mah battery + charger for htc google nexus one")
i could. only wish. during Saturday, from 2pm (when i started using the phone) until 8 am on Sunday i charged twice my N1 (plus the full charge made during the Friday to saturday night). so in about 24 hours i've wasted almost 3 full charges... i see your point, but do you really surf the web or is just msg e mails you send. if i listen to 2 h of music, i bet the batery will get empty before that time. i also use the N1 to remotely access my home and work pc. my wireless card e working 24/7 and the gps no (only when needed ) So you guys tell me if i should worry about this, or not.

Perhaps you can check the inbuilt Battery Use section under About Phone and see what's using your battery so much. You could also install the application Spare Parts, which will allow you to see what's using the CPU while your phone is in standby.
Other than that you might want to use the auto for your backlighting if you don't already. And try to set any auto updates to an hour or so between updates? And disable auto login for Google Talk if you don't use it. If you're using a task manager, I find that constantly running task managers don't work well for my battery life, though your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps!
I find that using Advance Task Killer will help with the battery life. When I had the Motorola Cliq, it didn't last me very long (not sure why, I even fully charge it, go to sleep and wake up next morning with the battery drained at 1%). But ATK did help a lot even with the N1. That's one of the widgets I have up on my home screen

You should probably read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649770 before you decide on buying any batteries though. But keep in mind these results only test around 1 battery from each brand.
Re: solution found to my problem
after long research and testing tweeks and apps without real results i went another way and buyed a non-official house dock with possibility to charge also a spare battery; plus a official spare battery. made the buy at expansys webshop, and now I'm living a dream. with 2 batteries i no longer have to be restricted in using the N1. strange is the fact that the original battery i get worse times comparing with the one i buy after. it's a big difference. the first last usualy 6 to 8 h depending on use, and with the spare I'm making 10 to 14 h of use. the best is having allways another charged battery to put in the phone when the gets drained.
Has anyone purchased the Mugen 3200?

Hi,
I've purchased a 1200 mAh battery which has name a brand of "Momax" (from eBay). It's price is about USD 10. And it's performance is equal to 60-65% of original nexus one battery. Not good but you know "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys"

if you don't bother to get a bigger phone than probably is a hood buy. but if worry the keep the phone looks as it is than i would advise you to go with the standard ones (official). More: are you going to charge the spare in the phone or are you going to have a charger for it? that's really important. .. if you also buy a way to charge it while you use the other battery than you have no reason to buy a extended life battery. that's only my opinion. hope it helps you
this is the "ora charger for the nexus one" i buoyed from expansys web site. my spare battery is in it already charged and ready for when the one i have in the phone gets drained. there's really no need to have a extended on in this conditions. but if you plan not to buy a charger than is quite different. for what i read about the extended ones, they don't give you twice the life. at most 30 to 40% more, and for me that's no enough.
Hello all. I had an issue w/ my proximity sensor so I got an AE. It was defective, so I got ANOTHER AE.
Since I owned my EVO I always get extended batteries. I bought a 2750mah and it worked great. Then it started charging slowly.
I got giftcards to Best buy for my birthday so I got a new on there. (Sedio 3400 I believe)
Now when I try to charge my phone, it will literally take 2 hrs or so to get 15-20% charged.
I use my handset heavily, but w/ my EVO it was like 2hrs = a full charge and all day heavy use got me to a minimum of 25%.
I know LTE is to blame for a little battery drain, but any ideas? Full charge to 30% in like 5 hrs sometimes. Should I order another AE?
I'm on stlck w/ the most current software btw. Thanks.

Are you using an original stock charger? Are u charging through PC?
Battery could be defective..
I was thinking if he was rooted he needed to do battery calibration since he swtiched from stock to extended battery. Clear the stats and start over fresh. Maybe I am wrong, we'll see when we answers when or if he is rooted.

I am stock.
I switch between the HTC charger that came with it and several other after market cables/usb wall adapters.
I try to use plug in outlets as I know the "trickle" method takes forever.

I had alot of issues with charging my Incredible to the point where my phone took 5 hours to charge and 1 hour to drain. No simple answer here but if you root your phone many options exist to fix this battery issue. Recal the battery would be the first option. If you are able Root try that and come back and report.

For Christmas I got a 3500mAh extended battery for my g2x. After I depleted the charge that came on it and gave it a full charge I went ahead and deleted the batterystats file. That first full charge seemed pretty meager and it wasn't until the next full charge did I get the life I expected. I figured it was due to the calibration. Now my question is when I switch back to the stock battery from time to time am I going to get funky readings? Do I have to calibrate each time I switch? And if so, will doing this always give me strange readings/short life by never allowing an accurate and complete batterystat file to build?

Since they are different mAh I would recalibrate. I also recalibrate when I change Roms.
OK and what about the other questions?
Sent from my LG-P999
Get Battery Manager Widget Pro from the marketplace. It lets you swap batterystats.bin files when you change batteries so you can keep your calibrations.
Would that be Battery Monitor Widget Pro?

hey there!
the title is right! i have a serious problem with my maxx's battery.
i searched in xda forum but i couldn't catch any same results. first i should tell u that i'm not living in U.S so I'm not using 4g LTE...
my droid maxx battery is draining really fast. it can't stand more than a single day of normal usage,the same results of the ultra. I'm not using any mobile networks,I'm just using wi-fi for internet connections. but the result on battery monitoring says that the screen is draining battery,which i dont use it really much! in the battery section in setting,screen used about 46%!!! for example i just unlocked the phone for checking it's battery,2 times in just 30 minutes,and each time the screen went on,the battery percentage got down by 1%. I was using a droid maxx HD before,its battery could run for more than 3 days for me on a normal usage! but my maxx barely goes more than a single day. what can i do? change battery? or any changing in software?
i'm on 4.4 android,not rooted.
i should add that it's about 17 hours which i'm on safe mode,in this 13 hours i was sleeping about 9 hours.and when i started on safe mode it had 62% of battery. now it's 42%!!!!!
sorry for bad english,
thanks for helping
Have you thought about switching batteries?

I wouldn't open the phone up to check. if the phone has a removable back on it that you can take off to look and see if the manufacturer has put their name on it. Otherwise, there isn't a good way to check I guess. Sorry
is there any software which can check this out?
Well, you can buy a new battery on ebay, that's what I'm going to do, I'm using an Ultra battery for now, the XT1080M batteries are between 30-35 on ebay, and I consider it very cheap for the capacity.

Well, they said that the way to calibrate the battery is use it until is depleted, then... when its off connect it to the wall charger and don't turn the phone on until the battery icon marks 100%, turn it on and it is supposed to be calibrated, or I don't know...
For the battery swapping, you need the Motorola EU40 battery, thats the MAXX one, a Torx 3 screwdriver, a Torx 5 screwdriver and a plastic prying tool... you can search in Google on how to open the Droid Ultra/Maxx and it's easy, if you have the correct screwdrivers of couser... Good Luck!

It's fine, just drain until it ships off by itself. Plug it in and charge to 100% with the phone off the whole time. . I do this once a month to Calibrate the battery and it helps. Never had a problem

Quick history on this phone...
This is my former Razr Maxx Hd, my wife is using it. It is unlocked and rooted.
My wife has been complaining about the phone just dying on her with 50-75% battery remaining. So Thursday I started to look at it and realized that the back was bulging out. She also had an HD Maxx that she dropped in the water, I took the battery out of hers and put it in mine, everything was working fine, until this morning. The battery icon shows that the phone is being charged but the circle widget doesn't, and when I click on the battery widget the battery app, indicates that it's not charging. Other than a factory reset what else can I do, to try and make this thing work. I have tried different cables and chargers all with the same result.
Thanks for your time.

I see two possibilities here with massively different causes.
First, it may actually be charging, but some or all programs aren't aware of that fact.
Second, it may not be charging at all.
I can't think of a simple way to test which is the case, without running the risk of leaving you with a discharged battery and no way to charge it.
As additional information, when you turn the power off and plug in the charger, does it load the simple battery indicator screen and/or show any evidence that the battery is accepting a charge?
Sorry for not responding, I found the cause to be a bad battery. When I would plug the phone up without it powered on the battery icon would display a question mark inside it. I thought that maybe I had a bad flash so I made a factory cable and was able to reflash the fxz. That didn't help though, so I purchased a new battery from eBay, and it works flawlessly.
Thank you though for replying
