Battery metter issue with Motorola Milestone

I recently bought a Sedio Extended Life Battery for my Motorola Milestone. The battery its great, it lasted more than 31 hours of heavy use. However it has a little issue, related to Milestone firmware. Here's what Seidio has to say:
" Motorola Droid is not able to read the battery meter correctly because of Motorola's programming limitation. The firmware was wrote to not accept higher capacity batteries than the OEM ones. Therefore, when you have our 2600mAh, you may get some incorrect readings."
Since there are excellent developers here, I was wondering if someone can develop a hack so the battery metter reflects the correct battery life left.
Actually you have to reboot the phone several times a day, to avoid the annoying red led, because the battery metter quickly drops to 5% and it stays there for dozens of hours.
I want to know if its possible to edit a file or hack something in the phone to make the battery metter accurate with this new battery.
Thanks a lot .

I know that it is probably too late now, but instead of an extended battery I bought a battery extender by Sanyo. It is still a small package with 5000mAh that will provide over 3 full charges for the Milestone without the hassle of turning the phone off and on to change the battery.
It gas 2 USB outputs so you can charge two devices at the same time and it work with all devices I currently own that are battery operated.
To me it is a much better solution than an extended/ spare battery.

I see. How is that supposed to solve my problem?.
Your solution doesn't apply to me, because I don't wan't to carry extra packages. Additionally I can't.
I'll change my question: can some expert point me to what I need to edit / hack in order to manage that the battery meter shows the real battery life left?. Where can I take a look?.
Thanks.

I just wanted to be helpful and say that maybe carrying a portable charger will be easier than having poor battery with no support on the phone side.

First the battery is not poor at all. It rocks. It lasted 31 hours of heavy usage.
On the other hand, I can't carry a portable charger.
I don't want an alternative to my battery, because the battery performance its outstanding.

I suggest you to use "battery left widget"...you can find it on the market.
Personally, i dont like sedio tumor extended battery..its big and ugly
Same like Szadzik i use sanyo 5000 mAh external battery and momax battery as my primary battery

I'm currently using Battery Left and is very inaccurate. It shows one reading, then you reboot to get rid of the red led and it shows another different one. I tried to calibrate it two times as indicated by the developer with the same results.
It seems nobody can fulfill mi request, I only got bad critics about my battery by people that never has tried it.

i know sum1 got a project liek this done on scriptlance, see if u can post it on ther or find the guy and get it from him

anyone?....

if you got big battery drain you need to first work out if its software related or hardware related.
no point pulling out for a new battery if your software setup is messed up and keeps draining battery all the time.

And how can i find out if it hardware or software? I downloaded the "better battery States" but o don't know where to look so what should I do?

put it back to stock settings and use it as a stock phone for a few days. thats easiest way if you dont know what to look for.

It depends how you used it if you used your phone all the time then its probably time to buy a new battery. Just scroll the forum people bought all kinds and you can find out which one to buy. But trust me on one thing dont look for cheap ones if its cheap there is a good chance that its fake so be careful! Good luck with your search

i have this one for myself. what i can tell, dont expect double the battery lasting because of 2430mAh instead of 1500mAh. it last a little more, than the normal battery, but not such amazing as i thought firstly. as other people has just said, it depends on how you use your phone. this battery maximum lasted for me 3d on minimal use and slim bean rom.

now the my battery is horrible like 2-3 hours with 3G on and whatsapp and medium brightness and the battery is dead, i have to turn off the 3G all the time.... i'm with tsunami rom and i've got a friend with this rom that have better battery life and i found out that my battery is a little bit swollen, maybe it's because of that... you think that the battery will last more that one day with 3G in this rom with this battery?

First of all as soon as you get 3 batteries that are over 2000mAh for that amount of money they are fake a original samsung replacment battery thats about 1500mAh will cost you more than that. If you browse a bit on the forum you will find the exact model of the battery that others bought that are tested and confirmed working. This battery will probably last you about a couple of hours cause they are no chance 2430mAh.
If your battery is swollen then you need a new battery straight away.

this is interesting... is the s3 battery rated at 3.8v too? also, did you really see that 16% improvement in battery life?

Battery life is better yes. And most cell phone batteries are 3.8 volts, and report as "full" at around 4.2 volts, although the app I use for battery monitoring shows the relay is charging my battery to 4.3 volts.

The stock battery life on our phone is pretty decent. But I wonder what kind of extended slim battery options we have for our phone specifially....
Great mod Nard. The S3 battery is very common and I think all aftermarket extended slim batteries for the S3 should work as well. As long as you don't have a problem ghetto rigging it, we can get a lot more juice for out phones. And it retains NFC. Massive plus

Holy cow, an extra 28% battery life for under $5? Heck yes! Just ordered this.
Edit: Don't see NFC mentioned anywhere... I don't use NFC, but just in case I decide I want to start, I'll pick up one of these, and solder the guy on if I need to. Looks to be about the right size.

Ahh thanks I see now. It didn't make sense without the picture.

@Nardholio
I have one S3 battery, though from KINPS with 3250mAh that I got last time, which is 5mm thick (1mm more than ours) and should be allegedly same size to the S3 stock one.
But I am not able to close the back cover when I want to use it according to your instruction. that 1mm is definitely too thick and does not let me close it.
would you please confirm that yours is 5mm also or is it less than that?
if the prior, how did you manage to close the back cover?
if the latter, i would go buy a S3 stock battery.

If it's really that tight, I would try and carefully remove the sticker and see if it fits.
Compare it to the stock battery. Shouldn't be much thicker than that

I got a 3 pack of those batteries. All the three of them are just lying at home, their actual capacity was 2100mAh. Besides it didn't charge over 87%, which is 1800mAh approx. Don't know what the problem was, guessing it was the maximum voltage the battery could be pushed to using the phone. :/

Just let them sit overnight, they'll charge more

Actually the big possibility behind this is samsung has a battery overcharge feature...which is why your battery may only get that high...also Another cause might be to check and make sure your charger is outputting 5v 800ma as thats what is required by phone...i use stock charger with my 5000mah extended battery and loving it...gets full charge with both stock and extended battery....also to note...because of this overcharge feature depending on bad flash or similar it may actually brick your batteries (yes its possible). A prime example is i thought my old relay was bricked...when i got new relay i tried charging the battery from old phone and got the bootloop of death like i did on my old relay..so it got me thinking...and i placed battery from new relay and it booted right up as if a brick never happenned..i started to really research this and found ways to prevent this from ever happenning again as well as finding out about the samsung overcharge "issues" .

Besides when i used the battery, it lost charge out quite quickly and when i did a little research on the batteries, i found out given the size the batteries are likely to be fake and that the best batteries are the stock ones. The big extended batteries are however a different story altogether though. Anyway, i'd charge them overnight once and see if anything happens.
Here's hoping to the phone not bursting and burning my house down!!:fingers-crossed:

a good example...i went from 6 am to now 8:30 pm on my extended and its now at 75% batterry....i only paid 30 with tax and stuff total for my extended and happy i got it...again though...a lower voltage and ma charger will cause issues with battery drain and charge as well...like lets say you used a charger from another android device that calls for 4.5 or 5 volts but only 750ma or 500ma.... in terms it doesnt charge the phone properly causing more workload and time for battery to charge properly

I bought the extended battery of mugenpower (2300mah) for Samsung Galaxy S3. I scratched To insert the battery. The time now is charging but the cover does not close. probably also'll scratch the cover.
Soon I will insert photos of the operation.
P.S.
I spent € 37 including postage

Yes all batteries should be flat...Did you try new battery with different ROM ? Maybe you are heavy user and you overheat your battery(To much time on phone,you are using your phone while charging etc..)you should check you battery temp when you are on the phone (dial *#*#4636#*#* and go in to battery info) and please use your original htc charger if you do tests with new battery and different rom ... If is the same maybe you have hardware issues..
This is just my opinion

Hyperion 5200mAh Extended Battery For Galaxy S4

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with Hyperion extended batteries for the Galaxy S4?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...F8&qid=1386316276&sr=8-1&keywords=s4+hyperion
I'm going to be ordering one soon but thought I should ask about the performance and experience by people who may have used it. It says that the battery now has NFC, can anyone using it confirm if it is true?
The battery has positive reviews on Amazon. Can anyone also tell how fat does the S4 get when used with the battery? Also what timings are you guys getting with the battery? Is an external case needed to avoid any ugliness or anything?
All this and if you have anything to else to add would be of great help.

I had a Hyperion with my s3 and it was a good battery. They have great customer service. It seemed like it started draining a little more than normal at 6 months or so but it could have been my imagination or poor cell signal. I emailed them for help/info and they rushed another battery out free of charged. Was willing to send the old one back but they told me to keep it.
I'd definitely buy from them again. I did get mine on Amazon like most things I buy. Went with a 3000 mah zero lemon for my s4 due to size. Lots of nice cases for stock size phones. Would love an extended waterproof case.

Curious about this as well. I had one for my Galaxy Nexus and it was great. Made the phone usable for most of the day finally. This phone has been pretty decent on battery, but when I know I am going to be using it a lot more it would be nice to have the extra battery.

Hi,
I have had them for my S3 and now my S4.
I have one of the 5200's for my S4. I get at least
2 days out of it with 20-30% left on second day.
No complaints at all.
Ken

Likewise, I have used Hyperion extended batteries in my S3 and now the 5200 in my S4. No complaints except I would like to find a water resistant extended protective case.

I have the 7500mah battery for my phone. And I can say I'm very pleased with it. The case it comes with is actually easier to hold. I'd definitely recommend it. I actually got around 11 hours of screen time when I first got it!
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

So it's been three days since I received my Hyperion 5200mah battery. Although the correct battery timings and percentage maybe shown after 4-5 cycles of charge-discharge-recharge, I'll post the screenshots of mine and will post again after the 4-5 cycles...

The charge cycle said is to be 10-12 hours however the battery is charging to a full faster than the said time. Could it be because of the difference in voltage? If I'm not wrong, US uses 110v mainly and here in KSA we have 220-240v. Could it be because of this?

Got a quick question!
I was instructed to let the phone charge for 10-12hrs even if the phone shows 100% full charge notification. How did you guys charge it?

You are not forced to charge it that long on first charging process. I did it not and do not have any problems.
More important is that if you charge your phone from now on, you have to charge 1-2 hours longer (depending on battery size 5200 vs 7500 mAh) after you have reached 100%.

You are not forced to charge it that long on first charging process. I did it not and do not have any problems.

I see. Thank you.
Normal charge takes around 5-6hours now which means I should charge for 7-8 hours in total.

What do you mean?

Hyperion has pretty good quality, and their warranty support is good. Anker is another good brand for the extended batteries. (They don't do cases though)
Hyperion has a really nice TPU case that fits over the extended battery..
