Extended Battery?

Does anyone know if HTC will create an extended battey for this phone?

Hardly. Case is solid, there's no space for it.

I found this 1800mAh one. It is not made by HTC but it should support Desire S.

doesnt look reliable.. but its mugen whi makes that battery. dont buy from tha website, go to the official mugen website.

are you having problems with the battery life for desire s?
experience says 3rd party batteries doesn't do justice... eventhough they have a higher rating, they perform more poorly than the orginal lower rated battery.

My battery seems pretty weak, one day of moderate usage, and it was gone, a little bit of everything, wi-fi (no more than 1 hour all day long), games, calls, camera, browsing through the menus, aprox 40-50% backlight only slightly above my average use...
how long should it keep the phone running for?
can't find reliable info on this, too few people have this device, I hope the comunity gets bigger

1.1800mah seen it's not reliable
2.there is one movable charger in markey

any ideea if there is an extended battery for the phone connector? for sos when you remain without battery and desparate need the phone

it will be good to upgrade the battery..very fast one to drain up.
found somewhere samsung gs2 already come up with 2100mAh battery which is very good

Galaxy note, with a 2,500 mah battery!
But a huge 4.5" screen, Like HD amoled scrren, 1.4 dual core..
That will drain the large battry around the same as a standard phone!

I use this one as an emergency battery pack. Can highly recommend it. There are cheaper ones out there, but they usually break or don't meet the claims of their capacity...

Maybe i've got to reset battery controller history?
and how to do this? ))

that's because it probably isn't as good as the original battery. it's from ebay and the fact that it's painted gold just makes it even more hard to believe.
You should always get a battery from a reliable company.
the mugen power is £30 from mobile fun.

ANKER 1800mAh BATTERY SAMSUNG Epic 4G SPH-D700 GT-i9000

Hello Guys,
I got this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANKER-1800m...495901?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfb97109d
According my usage :
Before I went back to work : 40 % max Battery remaining
Now : 70 % (easily)
Perfect fit in the original back case.
I have an intensive usage of my Galaxy S (3G all the time , phone call , internet surf )
I love this battery!
Battery Monitor says that is a 1500 mAh
Kr,
Jérémy.

hello jeremy
does that battery fit in with stock backcover or is it to big? seems like a good price.
edit: didnt see ur whole post i may order one thank you :=)
but i didnt get ur last part, do u mean that the battery is actually 1500 mah and not 1800?

Hello,
In battery monitor I see 1500. But much better than the original one (1 year old)
Jérémy.

You do know that Battery Monitor uses an user defined value and you have to set it yourself in the settings?
Settings->monitoring-> battery capacity
Or did you use it to get an estimated capacity (under calibration, "measured")

i bought one yesterday evening but it will take time until i recieve it but when i can tell how good it is.
actually i wanted a samsung 1800 mah battery but the ebay seller had none left..so i bought this one..half the price, 9$ + 5$ shipment ~11 €
i just hope anker batteries are really good

So is this battery thicker than the original?

i assume it has the same size like the original samsung battery with 1800mah, which is slightly thicker than the 1500mah original battery but it fits under the original backcover

got it!
here 2 pics. it fits under the original backcase!
until now i am not able to say anything about the power, i will report if anybody wants to know it.

I'd rather go Samsung oem...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277647

no because this is a thread about a 1800 mah ANKER battery and the other for the original samsung one

Αny news about it's actual power capabilities?

its much better than my old standard 1500mah battery!
i just had the 2nd load-cycle, and i can use my phone heavily a whole day with cyanogenmod 7(i think with stock roms the battery use is better)
I used my galaxy one over one hour for listening to music, ~1h display time, 3g always on, a few sms and after 12 hours i have 50% rest, compared to my old battery this is great ;-) for ~14 $ --> ~11 € with international shippment
i would buy it again!

lol the son of a ***** want 45$ for the battery now..

I think there is a 1900mAh Baggers available from Anker
It's available from Amazon.Co.uk
via the amazing XDA premium app and my SGS2

Has any other tested this battery?

Battery.

So just recently, my phone's battery life has suffered a lot. Right now I'm at 73 percent after an hour and 24 minutes with just light web browsing on wifi. On every rom I've been on, its like this. So, I'm thinking I'll need a new battery?

I just received my new 3500 mah battery last night. It's been off the charger for about 30 mins and after some pretty heavy usage (overclocked), it's still at 100%. I paid about $12.00 for it shipping and all.

Every rom i mean, all ics roms. And first I'm going to clean up my charge cycles for a bit and see if it improves, if not, I'll see about getting a new battery, and no, I do not use titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

Well ICS, and battery just don't go well together if you use your phone, with the phone on standby you can last for a long time but if you're using it... that just means terrible battery life is to be expected. I would say 7 hours was pretty good for me if I had screen on time for any thing near 2 ½ hours
Check that by battery then click on display and see screen in time.

Where exactly did you buy it at?

You could try wiping the battery stats in recovery when the battery is full, run it all the way down to zero and see if that helps, but mt3g is right.

Maybe I'm used to being in school where i would have 90 percent battery at 3:30 in the afternoon, so then i would have only half the day to use it. Maybe its not the battery, maybe its me being thrown off from being on summer break. But then again, a can sit here just letting my phone sit with the screen on and watch the battery just drain...

If you do a search for 3500mah batteries in the forums, you'll find that a LOT of people from here order from this guy, because the prices are reasonable and the shipping is fast.

Letting your phone drain to 0%/dead is bad for lithium ion batteries and will actualy shorten their life span.
---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------
Just a quick tip: I noticed even with the new batter that after about 70% the battery started to drain a little a faster. The biggest culprit was "Cell Standby" which hovered around 50% I set my network preference to GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode), and this cut this battery drainer down by 50% or more.

Before switching your battery , try the BetterBatteryStats app, it helps you figure out whats eating your battery if its not actually bad. If this doesn't work, your last resort it to change your battery but i would suggest to try the app and read thru the thread for that app in the App section of this website. It will help you tons.

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.

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.

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.
Skipjacks said:
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)

Problems with Anker Battery-.-

I almost posted this Problem but i habe a new Problem. My Problem was, that the Anker battery i recieved only has 1580 mAh. I controlled it with more than One app from the market. Now i wrote to the company, where i bought it(amazon at Laptopmate Germany). The told me that i will recieve a new One. I recieved it today and it has got 1580 mAh too-.-
I Know it firstly must calibrate, but with this, it dont change the capacity..
Whar should i Do?
I already wrote to them again and i must wait for an anwer till tomorrow..

The battery really is 1900 mAh, but you cannot use the sensation to measure its capacity - the battery driver is seriously flawed and will give you rubbish figures, no matter which 'app' you use.
If you want to test the capacity then you'll have to make a rig with a known resistive value and time a drop in voltage, you could then calculate the capacity of the battery - but its a lot of work...
Also, the quoted battery capacity is a theoretical value, you'll never get to use all of it due to the way Li-ion cells work.

Don't worry man. If you wanted to see it's capacity with some software it can't be done. I have noticed that Battery monitor widget recognises new batteries as 1580 mah, but it doesn't mean anything. Your batter's fine

Oh okay.
Then i habe got 2 ankers for the price of One Now
But is there any simple way, to Check capicity?

There are probably two possibilities:
Use the stock battery, charge to 100% and notice how long it stays alive.
In Settings -> Power -> Accu Usage you´ll find a statistic about the powerdrain and the actual ontime.
After some charge cycles change to the anker and redo the steps. Then you will have an approximate result on how long your battery extend your batterylife.
The second approach is to touch the batterycontacts by your tounge. The harder the pain, the much higher it´s capacity
I´ve got the Anker for about 2 or 3 month and replace it sometimes with the stock. I´d say it stays alive for about 30% longer. (~2 Days 17 Hours)

My Problem is, i did the First method and the Anker isnt better.
My battery stays about 15 hours with Not more than 3 hours screen on. With both batterys.

Your problem is either your phone or the ROM, I get at least double that performance from the same anker battery.
The anker is only 20% greater capacity than the standard battery, that won't make much difference to your poor battery life. Do some searching to reduce your power consumption and getting your phone to sleep properly - if you are still on stock or ROM with wakelock issues then those are your most likely causes.

Me too! You sound exactly like me! I went through everything before I finally found this battery! I'm really happy now with the Mugen. It seems to be a true extended life battery. But you have to sacrifice the thin phone for it. It will make phone thicker but that didn't matter to much to me because of the excellent battery life. I guess it's a give and take. Battery life makes up for it for me but some people would never have it due to the thickness. It just depends on what you want. For me I was after battery life so I'm very happy. I got used to the thickness in about a week. If you don't mind the thickness give it a try! You won't be disappointed. The extra back they provide could be made better but the battery itself is really amazing! Your situation sounds exactly like mine so I think if you get the 3800mah you will be very pleased. As long as the thickness doesn't bother you. I do wish you the best and hope you get your battery issues solved soon! Good luck!
