[Q] HTC Desire S battery replacement - General Questions and Answers

Hello All
I have an HTC Desire S that is about 2 years old. Everything is great about this phone. Recently I found that the it was not holding the Charge. Sometimes it would show as 90% charged & the moment I disconnect the charger it would drop down to 10% and worst the phone Powers down. I noticed the battery is slightly bulged when I put it on a Flat surface. I have been trying to get a new battery but unable to find the battery as the Service center says that the set is not in market anymore and I don't want to be at risk by using a fake battery. Can anyone please let me know any other HTC phone that uses the same battery as the Desire S?
Also while on ebay I found this link. Can anyone please suggest is this a good battery?

[Batt] HTC extended battery wrong indication.

Hi,
I purchased HTC original extended battery 1340mAh.
When I charge it, it shows 91% charge, nomatter how long you charge it!
Soft reset fixes it, shows up normal after that all the time. Never had this on original 900 mAh battery.
ROM & Radio in my signature, also I use FInixNOverBatteryIcon to show % near battery! But that didn't had any inpact on original battery?!!?!?
Anyone knows what might be a problem?
Bro even i have HTC original extended battery 1340mAh but never got this issue.
I think that some thing is wrong with your battery pls give it back to your dealer so he will replace it for free.
Flashed Shack v4.0 ROM, before was using A.Z.T.O.R. x2.
Problem went away it's all good now!

HTC Evo extended battery review(3500mah)

I know the battery have been sold and people have problems with the way it looks and the extra thickness it will add to the phone. But my question is: "Has anyone tried it out and if so how long has it lasted with moderate to heavy use?" I haven't seen any reviews for them provided for the Evo.
I purchased a 3000 mAh battery off of eBay with a replacement back for the phone for $12. So far it has worked fantastic for me and allows me to go all day without having to charge the phone. The one I got is tinyurl.com / 2fakhnr (remove spaces). The extra thickness makes typing on the phone MUCH better. Before the phone was too thin and made it difficult to hold and type at the same time. Also the quality of the replacement cover is very good. It has a nice rubberized feel to it like the original cover for the phone. I've been through about 5 full charge/discharge cycles on it so far and the capacity seems to be increasing still. I figure a couple more and I'll be good to start charging it normally.
a bit of advice from anyone?
I just recently bought this on eBay
"3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover for Sprint HTC EVO 4G"

Here is the link to it:
tinyurl is / 6jht2kb
But It only last me about 4.75 hours when the standard htc evo 4g battery last me about 4.5 hours moderate/heavy use of course. I replied to the seller but my question is to you guys do I need a different type of charger with it or is it good charging just by the HTC Evo4G Charger that I have for my standard battery. What should I do? Any comments or anything.

Droid maxx battery problem

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?

Have you replaced your manufacturer battery with a new battery? If so where did you purchase it at?

I bought the phone from ebay everything of the phone works normally and it does not get hot. and how can i know if the battery is original or not? (i used a program to get the battery details...it did not give me the result about a fake battery.)
should i open the phone?
(I'm not sure about this,but i think battery is original,cause in motorola forums i read some similar problems...but they changed their phones in verizon stores,which i don't have access to them)

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.

you know,it's a good choice,but if i buy a battery,i have to change it by myself...so i should open the back of the phone by myself...and as u can see i live in iran,it takes about a month to recive the battery. so if i have to order a new battery, I have to make sure about the battery..any ideas for knowing the originality of battery by any software?

Not that I am aware of. You would have to buy a new battery and see if it helps. I suggest a Mugen battery. Have a great weekend!
battery is original
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

Battery Replacement

Hi Folks
I'm kind a annoyed about the x920ds battery life ... I think of replacing the battery. Found a few clips around the internet how to do. Seems not that difficult.
But now my question is, would it be possible to replace it with the Butterfly S battery? This one got 3200mAh, compared to stock 2020 mAh.
Ideas? Anyone maybe done this before?

I have no idea if it fits to butterfly. I would open a thread and saw yours. I just replaced battery and broken lcd of my device but i have an issue lcd sometimes stucks but i don't know if it is because of lcd or battery. Battery was empty when i attached it then started to charge. It shows 3 volts instead of 3.7v. Maybe it gets OK when fully charge. Do you have any idea about that?
Last, if you can hold screwdriver, you can easily replace battery but i don't take any responsibility about that. Or, if you wait, i will test my battery after a few days of charge-discharge cycle. Then inform you about battery life.

I connected my old battery and lcd was the same. So problem is not because of battery.
After first %100 charge; 4 hours youtube video took about %95 of battery, brightness full, wifi open, gsm is active.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Guess I'll get a regular Butterfly and a Butterfly S battery. So then I can compare in size, connector and stuff. Guess as long as Volt output is the same, it should work.
Help me
Hi Guys,
i need help or solution
i will change battery for my htc j butterfly, but so difficult to find this battery on my country (Indonesia), i asking you all, can i change this battery with other model like HTC M7 or like other models??
thanx guys for your answer
m7 => x920d
today i've changed my battery to m7 one. butterfly had voltage downshifts i knew that the battery was bad. it reduced voltage to 3.2v at street (~ -10-15 C°). It ist't normal and I decided to modify my butterfly with m7 battery that was left from m7 donor last year.
I tried to put it on like original one, but no success, the connector was not in it's place. I connected some wires to reach it. everything was ok except charging process, only 1% per one connect/disconnect interation. after that the battery blocked (! in tray). there was not enough comfortable and i decided to put original battery board to m7 bank. it was not so easy but finally i've got modified butterfly with m7 battery inside. i hope this modification will not make harm to my device in future. if that'll be some interesting news i'll let you know.

Battery replacement help

I had to repace the original battery on my photon q because I dropped it and the battery cable tore. I bought a cameron sino because Ive had a reasonable experience with them and nokia phone batteries (though I find polar cell the best). However, after a couple of weeks I ended up in a situation where it wouldnt charge or start any more, it would get to the bootloader unlocked screen and turn off, then just keep looping round and round. Ive jury rigged a nokia battery in and its working ok (though its smaller and I dont want to try charging). Can anyone suggest a decent replacement battery? I dont want to use one of the higher capacity battery mods as I dont want to make it bulge or anything. Could my problems be anything to do with using sailfish os instead of android?
So I tried to charge my Nokia BP-4L and it doesn't work... but I realised that there are actually 4 battery contacts and I am only using two. Does anyone know what the other two contacts are for? Presumably one is a thermistor, but not sure about the other, at some point I'll try buzzing with a multimeter to see if any of them are connected together.
Has anyone tried this extended battery from ebay? 2600mAh is huge! Which makes me think it can't possibly be true... and postage to the UK is 20USD which makes me reluctant to try it.
i mean it is BAT+ / BTEMP / ID / BAT-
