Dear all,
I have bought 1800mah battery from easydevices.co.uk and gpsforless.co.uk and both the batteries are showing the status as "Main battery: Unknown". Can any kind soul kindly please post some solution ? I tried replacing some battdrvr.dll with some old one found in this forum , but it dint worked at all and rather started shutting down itself.
Hope someone got their extended 1800mah batteries working properly, can tell me what ROM they are using ?
Kind regards
vj

what do you mean by no problem
there is a big problem that the GPS not working with this battery
Perhaps he means without the problem referred to by the OP? As that is what the thread is about, not the GPS issue, for which there are other threads
BOT - I have this issue with 2 spare 900Mah batteries, so it is not confined to the extended battery. Am trying the drain it/recharge it option. Presumably it doesn't matter if the recharge is done when its in the phone or a standalone charger? Thinking about it, I guess it might matter a lot!

Same here , almost no GPS signal ..
I believe that the back cover face to make contacts that make better gps.
Take a test, raised the cover battery covers and try to launch such as tomtom, you will see that no locks satellites or locks them with a very long time and with a low signal, then put the cover and see which links immediately satellites and a high signal, raised again the cover and see the signal of satellites coupled fall relentlessly until you have a signal low or even absent ...
So the problem with the battery increased from 1800 I think that depends on the cover that crushes not something that runs the gps.
Why not cover the gps does not work well?
Sorry for my English ...
Well i tested a bit.
With original battery and cover GPS is good .
When i put on the other cover GPS is still good .
With the 1800mah battery no GPS dont mather with or withour cover.
What i saw is that the originao battery has some small thing beside the battery connectors , i guess thats for the GPS .
The 1800mah battery doesnt have those .
Well the best is to wait for the HTC more powerfull battery .
If only this thread was about the GPS problem - which is well documented elsewhere!!!

Hmm yes , your right ..
Well there was talk about GPS probs .
Wont happen again ..

here's what i did. remove the battery for 1min. well, i timed 1 min and it works when i powered it up. update this thread if this method works for you guys.
having trouble with no charge on new battery hope somethign pops up soon
unknown battery
I have the same problem with a 2000mAh I bought from dealextreme. Main batt unknown. Normally I wouldn't care about this but my diamond refuses to charge it.
GPS is working excelent, no lag and the sat aquisition is fast
the "thing" near the battery contacts has nothing to do with the GPS since mine it's working just fine
maybe it has to do with batt recognition? anybody?

I'm using exactly the same battery from dealextreme and never had any issue with it. GPS and battery meter working fine. In fact, I just ordered my second batt and hope to be as good as first one.
Was on Swiftblabe's v7.0, now Pistonripper's 2.0 if thats of importance.
i ended up buying a Ecell travel charger and charging it via the mains £1.99 + £1.99 post from ebay. red light needs charging - green light charged, not a cure but an option, mines only for emergancy power whilst using my golf gps software which runs out after 14 holes
just an option
can any one post the link of the swiftblade that ua saying about..i too have the same problem of main battery unknown..i cant charge and its not showing any status..
what is the swiftblade??is that the rom or radio??please specify and post the link of that particular rom or radio..??im using diamond p3490..with extended battery 1800 mah..
please post the links..
Very cool, this diamond!
hi guys
I bought the Cameron Sino CS-HDM100XL extended battery for my HTC Diamond, it works fine and it does look like its double the capacity.
Problem is, I cant get the GPS to work when used with this battery.
Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed ?
cheers
Too bad you didn't check this forum earlier. It's a known problem and there isn't a fix, AFAIK..
Although I read somewhere someone actually got better GPS with the original extended battery.
If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the cover, the way it makes contact with the device and how it acts as an antenna.
hey i just got the diamond and I cant use the gps i go on fast gps and it tells me to download some stuff when i finish downloading the stuff it just tells me how many days i have left before redownloading it.
plz help
GPS Works
Odd but my GPS works using the CS 1800MAh battery, i got 2 of these batteries from an ebay purchase and initially no GPS as per other users experiences, was very annoyed but then one day started to work.
Cameron Sino's batteries won't let you use the GPS, duno why just can suppose it's about the mAh. The highest one I've seen from HTC it's 1340 mAh, I suppose the diamond have a security block for prevent all energy problems!
I have a C.S batterie too, and I'll be able to use the GPS 2 times only, (remove cover, fix the GPS, put the cover), but the number of satellite are poor.
I'll think too the cover design surely work like the F117 and reflect the GPS signal away from the GPS antenna.
Hope somebody found a solution for the 1800 mAh problem
Greetz to all
P.S: Sorry for my poor english
Cameron Sino 1800mAh
Hi i am using the Cameron Sino 1800mAh battery with the supplied back cover.
At first i had real problems with GPS reception and played around with different radio versions. I finally settled with radio 1.17.25.09 and while GPS reception may not be extraordinary, it works good under most circumstances. I tried all the aluminum foil tricks with no result - ripped it out again.

I keep getting problems with all the anker batteries I used.
Around 5 different ones now.
My phone shuts down randomly, get's hot and sometimes it is rebooting automatically.
The most annoying thing of it is when it reboots when it is in my pocket, calls etc will be missed untill I turn my phone back on.
I also tried different HTC batteries and all of them are working pretty good, battery life is not the same as the Anker ones but it won't reboot or shut off automatically.
I like to use the anker ones due the longer battery life, does anyone knows what te problem could be? I tried 100 different roms, calibration methods and battery monitoring app but I keep getting problems with it....
Niek
Have you tried an OEM Evo 3D battery? The majority opinion seems to be that the actual capacity is pretty much the same as the Anker, and as an official HTC battery it is probably much more reliable.

But that won't solve the problem?
I want it to work with the Anker one
If the phone shows the same fault with different batteries and ROMs then it sounds like your hardware is faulty and your phone is running much too hot. The OEM battery probably has better tolerance than the Anker, so doesn't overheat and drop the output voltage - hence rebooting.
Either get the motherboard replaced or stick with OEM batteries.
The problem is gone when going back to S-On and using original Roms...
Even with the anker battery...
So i can't send it back for repair... any ideas?
It seem like there is no way to buy a replacement battery for nexus 9 or the back cover. Is there any source for the purchasing？

At both sites the replacement battery is out of stock. My battery has started acting very strange (tablet totally turns off around 20%, then when i plug it in battery is 100% dead, needs 15 minutes charging just to start up again).
I did quite a bit of googling but didn't find anything.

I have, it's not the charger. I'd simply like to buy a replacement battery but can't seem to find it for sale anywhere. Does anyone have any idea about where to buy one?
Bumping this thread. My aging Nexus 9 is in need of a new battery, but all the sites posted above show them as out of stock. Has anyone been able to purchase a replacement battery recently?

If anybody is still searching (or has given up already): I just got a new battery from here: http://bigupgadgets.com/battery-35h00218-00m-b0p82100-for-htc-flounder.html. You may find it from other vendors if you search for "35H00218-00M".
The printing on the back looks different from my old battery - looks like this is indeed a new part, rather than a refurbished/replacement HTC battery. It fit perfectly, and charged fine. I just installed it yesterday, so I can't yet say how well it performs long term.

Many thanks! I was able to order a replacement battery and replace mine. After about a week of use, I have not seen any issues. :good: Only complaint I would have is the slow shipping.

You're welcome! Yeah, I'm also quite happy with mine so far - it keeps the charge pretty well.

So how did it turn out? My Nexus 9 is going to become sort of a lab rat for full-scale linux development on the device so I'm considering replacing the dying battery as well. I could get the aforementioned battery for around 30€. If the battery works without blowing up and is the advertised capacity, that is.

It worked well, fewer slowdowns and crashes. That may be in part also because I fixed the location of the copper plate/heat sink that had been placed under the original battery (leading the heat into the device) to where it was supposed to be. Some problems that may be more related to the chip/RAM/64bit choice persisted (browser is still super slow with just a few tabs open). Not using it much these days except for ebooks, Hoopla, etc. When I don't use it for a while, I turn of the Wifi and the charge holds for many days. Good luck with your Linux endeavors.

Well all the other malfunctions are definitely NOT related to the battery, except if the old one maybe started to lack in persistent current delivery (which would cause the sudden shutoff - my Nextbit Robin had it as well and it would behave as if the battery wasn't designed to power the chipset, crashing at 70% charge). If something in the power delivery goes wonky then maybe that also messed up some memory addresses and CPU calculations.
But enough being a smartass - if the battery does hold up without life-threatening malfunctions then it might be a good option?

What I was trying to share is that the new battery (and its proper placement) fixed a couple of things for me that I hadn't expected to be related to the battery. So I got actually way more than just increased battery life. With some non-original batteries (e.g. for cameras) you see that the copies are definitely inferior to the original. This one was as good or better.
Of course that was two years ago - production standards may have changed, or you may get a battery that's been sitting around for the last two years (what would that do to a battery? - I have no idea). Mine's still working well after this time. I would definitely go for it, but I'd try to find a vendor where I can send it back if for some reason it's not working as advertised. I haven't heard of any of these batteries exploding, and really would not worry about it. Hope that helps.
Hi,
I had a nexus 5 and never problems with the battery life, never changed in my 2 year usage time . Until my phone got stolen. Now I bought a second hand one. On this phone the battery just sucks. The old owner wrote he changed the battery last year and used qi loading. Might this be the problem? Sometimes the percentage rises by 1 or 2 without loading and sometimes it drops by 20 after a reboot. Might a new battery fix this? (the WiFi scan thing is off)
Was the replacement battery from third party or oem? I find that oem batteries can be hit or miss in terms of longevity.
I have used a qi charger with my nexus for over year and I can say that I have experienced a similar issue.
Is the phone running a stock rom?
