New Battery + Stock Lineage OS + Franco Kernel => Still bad battery :( - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Oneplus One almost 3 years now. Performance is still amazing, although I'm not a Poweruser. I just use the regular (youtube, FB lite, Whatsapp, music, video, browser). I don't use regular FB, no insta, no snap, no battery draining social media apps.. Also no heavy games. For about a year now it's been suffering real bad battery. The roms I've had the last year are: CyanogenOS, TugaPower, LineageOS + FrancoKernel. All roms are chosen with long battery in mind, but nonetheless
So I finally bought a new one. It's no original Oneplus One (not available?).
Brand: X-Longer
Capacity: 3100mAh/11.78Wh
Type: Lithium-Polymer
Volts: 3.8VDC
Part No: BLP 571
4.35V +/-0.05V
It's almost been a week now, and have used my phone like always. And to be honost very disappointed from the resulst. So I'm wondering, what could be other factors that give this bad battery results? Could it be that somewhere during flashing a ROM in the past year, has changed something? Or smt like that.. Any suggestions please.

I didn't have Lineage on my OpO, but on my Tablet.
Also here, the time, till the battery is empty is much faster as with Marshmallow
I'll believe, that in Lineage some engery settings doesn't work as in the old OS, or our device can not handle this one, about the "old" HW

From where you bought it? Have a look at accessories(battery) thread and you'll know 'what gives' and you're not the only one suffering from this after long run and change of battery.Time to get a new device.Good Luck!

Yes,because it's original battery.TBH,instead of changing battery it's better to buy a new device and keep your old device(with original battery) as secondary.

Polarcell battery?

I am running an unofficial CM 10.1 ROM on my DHD and with 'slight' use I can probably get a full day out of the battery. Prior to the CM 10.1 ROM I was running a custom rooted ROM based on the final official android 2.3 ROM from HTC and I remember the battery lasting much longer (over 12-months ago). I won't be moving back to Gingerbread but want to improve my battery life and have seen good reports of the PolarCell batteries
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390392597069?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Has anyone replaced their stock battery with one of these? Any comments?
Andy
Would be interested in knowing this also. Dont suppose you took the plunge and bought one?
Hi guys
I would be interested too on this question, or another battery brand.
Only want that someone with experience tell us if possible which battery and what brand/model is the best nowadays to buy to our great Desire HD?
And if you can post the link where to buy and maybe some buyer reviews, would be wonderfully.
Because are too many "Fake" vendors nowadays.
But for some questions that I asked to other few members and one recognized developer, they said that one of best batteries are:
First - Oem
Second - Mugen
Third - Anker
....
That PolarCell I never heard do not know =S
Cheers
I guess dhd battery is a pain in the a** for everybody, I suggest you to go for sensation xe, evo 3d type batteries. There are plenty of ways to do it (with battery door or without) I was personally using without battery door because I was already using silicon cover for all phone. Btw you need to apply a small copper wire for external wireless antenna which is already built-in with your original battery door. Search for thread in this section you will find Evo3d battery thread. I have changed to HOX but still my wife is using my beloved DHD with 1950mah Mugen. Believe me it gives equal amount of satisfaction for this money. If you don't want to spend that amount, go for original Amaze 4g battery (which has the highest capacity when compare with evo 3d if I don't remember wrong) still you will be satisfied with battery life.
Please don't ask me, which rom am I using or how is battery life. It depends on people and how they are using.
I can give several examples, heavy usage with all the time 3g, bluetooth, mail sync, whatsapp, viber, browsing, auto brightness but no games and no wireless: it will handle 1.5 day.
or
Moderate usage, all the time mobile network on, a bit whatsapp, several regular calls, a bit browsing, no gaming and wireless off. My wife can easily manage for 2.5 days.
One more thing, if you will have 1950 mugen, your battery will stuck at %15, don't panic it will stay there for at least several hours (according to your usage ofc). Its some kind of a bug. I don't know if somebody found a solution.
I hope, my reply will enlighten you a bit Cheers!
Been using a Polarcell since october 2012 from the manufacturer CellePhone: (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004I227RK)
New, it lasts the same as the original for me, that means about 3 hours of screen on with about the 70% of the total battery time, automatic brightness but mainly outdoors, so I bet that the auto brightness is actually full brightness the most part of the time, using 3G and no "data sync demanding apps running in background" except whatsapp and the usual google services.
I use to charge the battery every night while I sleep and even though I'm aware that overcharging a long time is harmful I use to let it charge until I wake the next morning.
With this usage schema, I'm facing today a 20% loss approximately, because the battery skips from 80% to 100% when charging.
So is more than a year of usage, around 400 charge cycles, and for 10€ is a good investment for me.
Being from a german company inspires more confidence than chinese clones.
Hope this helps to all of you folks!
A friend of mine picked one up and he had nothing but good things to say. I'll update this post once he replies to my text for exact details!
Bought one a few days ago from http://www.ebay.de/usr/wannsee-electronic (Germany).
The one i bought is for HTC Sensation, sold as 1800 mAh. To fit in DHD i remove the "film" and im surprising to see that on the aluminiumcase of the accu is written 1700 mAh.
Contact the merchant today and wait for an answer. So I didn't know it depends on Polarcell or the reseller...
I just got one myself for Desire S, it is a 1600mAh battery. Been using it for 3 days and I'm quite satisfied with this product.. I also bought one Anker battery for Desire HD....
I can't really compare those cuz its on a different device and different ROM. But I feel that both are doing fine for now..... You can give it a try.
Btw, Anker battery comes with full package, it comes with a box and manual.... The polarcell that I received just comes with a battery with no box, nothing else..
Maybe I would suggest you to get Anker.
Don't forget to use Battery Monitor Widget to see if its actualy a good battery.
I got one today for my old DHD.After couple days of usage I'll post and my opinions.

I'm very satisfy from this battery.After couple charges for 12 hours each now my battery seems very stable. I'm running 30 hours and more with enabled 3g all the time.30-40 minutes calls including viber and 2 hours and a half display on.I think that this is a very gods result for this product.....cost 13€ .

I have some questions before buying

Hello,
I currently I own an Alcatel One touch 995 With CM10.2 and these last few weeks there has been lots of phones coming up for such little price and all with identical specs, being Moto G the best IMO as the screen isn't that big nor too small But what I'm concerned at is the Battery itself in long term.
Are there, currently, any ways to change the battery even if you have to take a part the phone ? Would that be the only option at the moment? I ask this because the two previous phones I had, had battery issues after about 1,5 years.
Another thing, how much would you think a battery would last only for Texting, 2-3 calls a day, browsing and about of 1 hour of gaming(not intensive games). According to the posts in another thread you get arround 2 days of battery ?
And finally, if I buy the 16gb version how much storage would I have? Considering the 8gb it comes with 5gb usable, I presume you would have arround 12-13GB?
Any answers on this topic would be appreciated.

Read the forum and You will get the answers. Shortly, Moto is made easy, all You need just new battery and open 14 screws and that's it, OS takes about 3GB, battery usage depends of personal usage, it's good, better as the most ones.

Do you have any source, plus where could the battery be bought? I've been searching the forums but only external battery packs.
As long as I get longer than and the batter can be replaced I'm happy:
note: Battery is new This is the first recharge

What used phone should I buy for under 60 euros?

Preferably on the lower side of that sum - I'd prefer to spend 40-50 euros, 60 is only if the deal is really good. I also don't mind buying a used phone with virtually invisible crack or a couple of cracks on the screen that wouldn't interfere with functionality in any way.
Currently I had ASUS Zenfone 5, which I find okay in terms of performance (I need something at least as powerful), although the battery life was horrible (I bought it used so that might have been the problem). Having said that, I want my battery life to be as long as possible - those are the only two criteria. I will be installing a custom rom from this site of Android 6 (or is there Android 7 already?).
Please ask any questions if needed.
bump?
I'm not sure but if you want to use a custom 6.0 rom (and you know that off the bat), I'd look through the forums. I'm not sure if all phones have had custom roms made, so the phone you do decide to get would be dependent on if a rom you'd like to use is available. Battery life is also dependent on the rom/features within that version of a rom and how you use your phone. So, somebody could recommend a phone because of how their battery life is but yours may be completely different. I had a MotoG 2013 for quite a few years (just "upgraded" to a Samsung S4 a couple months ago). I know I was getting about 1.5-2 days from the MotoG 2013 as far as battery life goes, running a custom 6.0.1 rom. I miss that phone because I'm only getting (at best) 12 hours battery life with my Samsung S4 - usage is exactly the same on both phones.

Well, the phones that don't have such ports are probably too old in terms of performance anyway. But there is of course a general idea of battery life, and the conditions would be web browsing (mostly).

Battery Suggestion.

Looking for a good battery suggestion,
Tried to order anker and ravpower ones from amazon.co.uk but seems that they don't deliver batteries to greece
so if anyone has any experience with a good battery from an european shop please let me know.
Its the second battery i'll buy this year, too tired of the counterfeti samsung batteries out there..!
https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Repl...pm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.271.761d3c00WHeR2B
Bought this and just got it yesterday...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ge_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=externalinformat
I've fully charged overnight and am testing usage now.
UPDATE
After my earlier (today) post I updated to the latest LOS 14.1 on my Tmo S4 with that battery fully charged and started goofing around. I'm attaching a screenshot from 5 minutes ago which represents a little over 6 hours of on time. I installed and used some apps. I locked the screen to 30 minutes before shutdown. It had adaptive brightness set and was indoors the entire time.
I streamed from Spotify for about an hour. I left it on and streamed episodes of The 100 on Netflix while I took my lunch break and did some work... maybe two hours total.
Who knows how it will work out in the long run - that's the real test.

Well 100% full disclosure, this S4 isn't my driver. It's kind of a test phone. I have been playing with it but essentially I've set it back to stock 4.4.4 and now have installed Lineage 14.1. No real long term use. The battery is taking a charge and seems to be holding it but other than that quickish stress test I'm not really "using" the phone.
I think with these third party ones you really just need to read the reviews and look for common failings in the negative ones. I bought the one listed above to replace the one I had for a solid three years before that eventually expanded outside of it's casing from years of recharging. I can tell you it works, it takes a licking and beyond that only time will tell.
Good luck!
I bought a Polarcell battery from a German seller on Ebay (wannsee-electronic) for over 2 months and it is working flawlessly. I have an S4 i9500 with LineageOS 14 and the battery life is better than the original battery in the ROM Touchwiz.
I am using this battery (build 2017) since since nearly a year and I am very happy with it. Battery still works flawlessly.

Here are some screenshots. Phone is now in usage for over two days. SOT is now nearly 3 housrs and 8 % left.At night I use flight mode. My phone is completely google free - so no gapps. I am using currently lineage 14.1 official. I believe with the new lineage 16.0 ROM from jdc-team battery performances will be even better.

Can you send me the link of your battery again? The link is broken.
Anyone know where to get batteries now? Seems like the unofficial ones are really bad on eBay because they're old, sadly the used ones are the best but they're pretty bad too.
edit : entirely wrong thread

Who is the culprit?

Hello from France.
When I bought this Mi Note 10 Pro from my girlfriend, the battery lasted for more than 2 days (I don't remember which version of Android and MIUI were installed at that time).
Over time, the battery life decreased, which is normal, until recently when it was less than a day.
So I changed the battery, first with a cheap Chinese one: battery life was less than a day, then with an original one: battery life is almost a day. The problem is that "AccuBattery" gave me an estimated capacity of just over 3000 mAh for both batteries (properly calibrated).
Thinking that the battery was defective, the shop (the most reliable one in France for spare parts) sent me a second original battery... but AccuBattery also estimates it at just over 3000mAh!!!
So who's the culprit???
Are all the batteries defective? (unlikely!)
Does AccuBattery provide false estimates?
Does Android 11 + MIUI 13 prevent AccuBattery from making accurate estimates?
Are the batteries okay and is it Android + MIUI that's draining the power?"
If it's the latter explanation, do you think it's more Android 11 or MIUI 13, (or both ) that's draining the battery? And in that case, which MIUI.eu ROM can I install to hope to regain good battery life? Is it possible to reinstall Android 9 or 10?
I should mention that I have already removed all bloatware and unnecessary services with ADB after returning to factory settings, and the battery still loses about 20% per night...
Anyway, thank you guys for this great forum that I just discovered. "
Blablabla
