Hi,
someone knows about a battery case ..i.e. a case with an integrated battery like the one available for iphone, for HTC DESIRE HD ?? ( www .powerskin.co.uk/power-skin/mili-power-skin-black-and-blue.html )
seen my poor battery life, that battery case would be the optimal solution for battery life. (it seems that there is no way to make a 1600-1800mah replament battery for our smartphone)
that would be simply awesome, but i doubt youll find one specifically for the dhd...
I had poor battery life about 5 hours ish so rooted it and installed a new kernal now I get up to 24 hours depending on usage least I've had is 12 hours

If someone plans to build this, please add a decent speaker too.
This is something that I've been finding for a long time, so far no luck...

Comments of Mugen Power Batteries from Facebook user Val Komissarov
Hey, Mugen. I just installed your 1600 mAh battery for HTC Desire (properly charged for circa 9 hrs) on my HTC Desire running an Oxygen-based AOSP ROM (Android 2.3.7) and had two phone shutdowns when the battery charge was between 90 and 80 percent. That's something that never happened to me before while I'd been using native HTC battery. The ROM itself is extremely reliable and battery efficient. Any clues on that?
on the other hand, after 2.5 weeks of usage I must express my dissatisfaction with the product: the battery hardly lasts as long as the original HTC battery. I did everything per instruction, my ROM and usage patterns remain unchanged, so it's got to be the Mugen battery.

Could just be a faulty battery. Cant damn an entire product for one bad apple. I work in RMA's and see it all the time. "your product is supposed to last xxx times, it didnt even work once, false advertising!!!" My reply, bad units happen no matter what you buy. My other notice is, that is for the desire, not the desire HD. two different phones and two different batteries. Mugen only sells a 1500mah for desirehd/inspire.

Really? Ok, then I probably almost gonna buy a wrong one.
Thanks either!
There's a thread floating around somewhere which explains why the Mugen and similar high capacity batteries are no better than the standard HTC one.
The HTC branded battery can use ~90% of its capacity whereas other only use ~80%.
I don't recall the exact numbers but it works out that, although the capacity is lower, more of it is usable.
Or they are the exact same and Mugen is just rebranding it.
So u r saying it does not worth buying? Either does not have any chang, or it is so minor that it is pointless?
1500 mah akku :good:

Buy it if it's cheaper than genuine HTC batteries, but don't pay more than genuine HTC battery prices, because they are all the same capacity.
Yeah I saw on their website, only 1500 mamph Desire HD batts
To be honest, I have tried some batteries and have ended up coming back to original HTC batttery because they all have similar response and don´t want the battery to melt inside my phone and fck both,the battery and phone.

I did not have a good mugen experience either, it did not had shutdown but the battery charge never last as long as advertized... And I did try every single mod or tweak in the forum, for me it was just like a regular htc battery.
So there is no point in a battery upgrade on Desire HD?
I got one of those 2450 mah (supposedly) batteries and much to my complete lack of surprise it was only 1230 mah.
It was only $8 so I thought I'd give it a try. But at least I have a spare battery that's a little better than the 1 3/4 year-old HTC battery I was using before.
Is there any differences with cost between original battery and mugen? Mugen seems a little expensive for me and plus, cargo price. Or Is it really worth to buy Mugen?
I've been using my phone for over 2 years now and battery lasts 12 hours aprox. ..so i'm considering either a new battery or that powerskin thingy..what do you guys suggest?

Go for a bigger battery. Known brands can offer batteries with more juice.
Unleashed from N101T @1.6Ghz on 3.2.1 Rom
Can you please specify what brands should i consider buying? Thanks in advance

Mugen 1600mah or Anker (Sensation) 1900mah if you are willing to do the battery cover mod as described in the Sensation battery topic.
I own the second and its really very good choice.

Hey guys is there any kind of gold battery is aviable for DHD ......
i means high capacity battery life for my DHD.....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app
HTC is umbelievable crap... No ICS for DHD, ****ty battery...
SKU: HLI-APX515CSL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 1950
Battery Door: Not Required
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.0.3
In the past I purchased several extended batteries from Mugen. I bought batteries for the hTC Wildfire, Sensation, Desire Z, HD2 and Google Nexus S. Needless to say why. Running these android devices for a full day on heavy usage can be a challenge on it's own. Besides running my own roms the battery is the first thing I replace to get better battery life.
The Mugen 1950mAh for the Sensation came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within about 2 weeks.
The 1950mAh has a perfect fit. No need to replace the cover or fix things. First I calibrated the battery. After a few months of usage I can say the battery is great. Regular day, several calls, 2hours BT connection with nokia carkit. Reading emails and some browsing. After almost 11 hours usage and still 80% battery. That's better then I used to get with the stock battery.
The Verdict
A good battery. Although it is not cheap I consider it a must have for power users that don't want a bulky backcover with the hTC Sensation. You still need to charge the phone on a daily basis with moderate or heavy usage but at least it will last the day instead of the stock battery.
WHat the
dude 11 hours with that usage and still 80% ?! I should buy that battery. I wish the price could be cheaper though
How much did you pay for the battery?and did you order it direct from mugen?why did it take so long to get it is possible to get it in a few days.

You can also check mobilefun. 34 euros ex. Shipping costs a 3,50 or 10 euros for a 24 hours shipment-receiving. I prefer the 3,50. It will take about 5 days before receiving.

@ kwbr
I just want to know your configuration so I have few questions
Which ROM you have? Is it GB or ICS?
Which kernel you're using? Did you change clock speed?
I would also like to see screen on time, I imagine it's next to none.
I have Mugen second week. I can use sensation couple hours longer without charging. Also notice some improvement with screen on time.
But for me it is to early for review. I will write my opinion after a longer time of using it.
I will try to add some screenshots in next few days.
edit:
Here are some screenshot
Soon I will add more to show battery life with heavy load

yea i seen that too. i would rather look at the posts with heavy use on the battery, instead of standby most of the time and barely have any time for screen on. of course, if the screen is barely on and most of the time on standby mode. the battery drain will be very minimal
I have a Vodafone Ireland sensation ,with the latest ics build, I keep having weird battery issue, it takes up to 5 to charge to 100% but yesterday when it reached 80 % I rebooted the phone and on startup it went to 100% ,average battery temperature is around 35 to 45 when in use and battery widget identifies the capacity as 1580 mah although it 1520 mah,same app on my Desire hd gives the right battery capacity ,and on my hd2 it give the right.mah reading too .the phone feels hot on the SIM card and memory card area when taking cover off, so decided to dev unlock ,and installed custom roms but the issue still there both my old phone last a day longer than my sensation.
I really appreciate your advice and guidance

Hi,
The Sensation has notoriously bad battery reporting.
It does take a while sometimes to fully charge,not always.
It is not really comparable to Desire which has single core and different CPU.
Your best bet is to experiment with different combinations of ROM/kernel.
People seem to be able to get 2-3 days out of some of them.
It also depends largely on how you use your phone...
This started happening to me again a couple of weeks ago. So I bought an anker battery and the problem went away. I switch both batteries every day and I don't get anymore reboots and messed up battery stats.

Had that problem too... I suppose everyone have it. I also bought 2 Anker batteries, charged fully, wiped batt-stats, and all is good now.
Recently I tried latest JellyTime, CoolDroid, stock 2.3.5 and now I'm on CM7 nightly (only apps that I use).
I am really suprised by battery life and overall performance on CM7! I've used phone quite intensive: 5 h LCD (auto brightness), over 3 h Wi-Fi, benchmark and OC for a while, few games, some calls, SMS and other.
Is it normal "battery behavior"? What results have you got?
I really invite you to write.

i think a battery should work normally for two years without a significant drop but it also depends on your usage. if you normally charge your phone once a day it should be so, but if you're a heavy tester or gaming enthusiast, that period will of course be shortend.
i also think that buying a new battery if you intend to use your phone one more year it's not a waste.

3.5 - 4 days.
Normally charge when it's down to about 15% on a slow (usb 500Ma) charge to keep the battery cool
Currently it's at 86% after 15 hours.
this doesn't mean anything if you don't say something about wifi/mobile data and usage...
actually, i feel no difference whether the battery consumes more or not.
