[Q] Installing Anker Battery, anything special that needs to be done?

I just got an Anker battery.
Do I need to do anything to adjust for it being a higher capacity battery? Like somehow tell the ROM (CM10) that it's got a bigger battery?
Or do I just put the new one in, boot the phone, and stop whining about it?

You can after you charged the Anker FULL (You can ckeck it in recovery) wipe battery stats.

Cool. I just didn't want to put it in there and think it was charging all the way but only have it charging to the max capacity of the stock battery.
Does the phone adjust for having a higher capacity battery?
Or does it just stay at 100% until the remaining charge drops back to below the max of the stock battery?

No therfore there a thing called wipe battery stats.

I've always read that after three full cycles that's the calibration, the phone then recognises the higher battery capacity. I've found this to be true as I'm using a 3800mah battery. So after almost draining completely and charging completely your device should be fine and good and recognise the higher mah. If you feel it's off you can calibrate again. But calibrate using the drain and charge method. Hope this helps, best wishes

Holy profanity!
I can't believe what a difference a new battery makes.
Unplugged 12 hours ago, only made 1 phone call, but I'm still at 96% left on the Anker. And tha'ts after 1 2 hour charge after putting the battery in last night. I haven't even run it up and down through a few cycles yet to get it broken in.
It does seem to run a little warm though. If that normal?

Yes a little warmth is normal.

I loved my anker battery, it did run a little hotter for the first several cycles.

Hi,
WIPING BATTERY STATS ,IS A MYTH

The phone does not need to adjust for anything, as charging is not software controlled but hardware controlled. Whatever capacity battery you insert in your phone, it will automatically stop charging when it reaches capacity - due to the electronic circuity built inside the battery.

[Q] Long battery charging. 6-10hours

hi.
my sensation takes 6-12 hours to charge completely..
I tried a different charger(pantech\ nokia\ motorola) and another battery.
Tried charging on original ROM, made wipe battery status in recovery
but nothing has changed
who knows more possible actions?

Get a new battery. This one you have is probably just worn out. Long charging is a common symptom of a dying battery.

I replaced the battery with a new one. nothing has changed.

does it take as long on the official HTC charger?
did you replace the battery with either a NEW Anker 1900, or NEW official HTC battery?
if you can answer yes to both of these questions, then it is possible that your phone may have a hardware failure...
what rom are you using?

2 yes
1)yes, on the official HTC charger it's take so long time.
If the program Battery Monitor Widget is does not lie on the official HTC charger phone max take 250mA.
most takes on the nokia charger - 350mA. and says that the phone is connected to USB
2)yes, i replace with a new official htc battery.

The charger itself could be bad. Do you have another charger or can you borrow another charger for 2 hours to test?
Just about any other charger for a modern smart phone will work. They should all be 1 amp chargers. If it was bought in the last year or two it should be 1 amp. Chances are most people in your life have one.

i charging always with pantech original 1amp. charger.My official htc charger burned down long time ago.
i borrowed official htc charger for testing, nothing has changed

Try wiping battery stats , I had trouble getting it to charge ,it was at about 80% but had took hours to get to that , wiped battery stats and it was actually 100% charged,
Had to wipe twice and use a battery calibration app twice then switch off and gave it 30min after green light came on but eventually its working fine
Although there is still a good chance your original battery is knackerd,

No.
Just no.
Wiping your battery stats did not affect this. Battery stats are just a log file. They have no impact on charging or discharging.

Can I power on my phone without battery when it is conected to charger?

I don't think you made it up.
I am absolutely 100% certain that this is not what fixed your issue, even if you did this right at the same time the issue disappeared. Something else happened, whether you realize it or not. Guaranteed.

I don't think so. I think the battery is part of the internal electrical circuit. It can't route power from the cord directly to the device. If the battery is missing its the same as if you cut an section out of a wire.

Most of the times it comes down to the rom or kernel.

Hello,
Can you please elaborate issue?
-Vatsal

More in depth description of the problem
I Purchased a NOTE EDGE Used about 2 weeks ago, I was told the problem was a generic battery causing the phone to overheat, I bought A New battery which somewhat solved the overheating problem however upon using the phone even with a new battery I noticed there still is significant battery drain in a short time. Also When the phone is completely off the battery still drains at a fast rate, If plugged in the battery doesn't die but charges extremely slowly even with a rapid charger and rapid charge activated. Another Issue that I have is when I remove the battery the phone will not turn back on once its back inside unless plugged in and when I connect by usb to the computer it shows connected on the phone and on the computer but in programs such as Odin it doesn't show up unless I remove and re install the battery multiple times I've done all I can think of to fix this ( bought a new battery, tried re flashing the firmware, Shut off all unused apps and turned off all data Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, dimmed the screen, battery saver etc.. ) the phone drains regardless even when phone is completely powered down.

sounds like a PCB having a problem. Maybe the charging circuit

N.m. just googled it

After I updated to 6.0.1 update on my note edge , once the battery reaches 49% it just turns off , it doesn't turn on , while I put it for recharge the battery charge shows 49% and it turns on.
I have done 3 factory resets still the problem arise. I did factory reset to clear cache and to clear any errors in apps. This is my primary phone for work and I need to carry power bank all the time. Please assist

Time to change the battery. It is not about the percentage of the battery. It is more about that the voltage breaking. As it seems the battery can not longer hold its voltage due to battery age. When the voltage breaks, the device will automatically shut down to due low voltage

the only solution i see is to stop buying original battery replacment since it might not be the issue , rather slap a zerolemon 9000 mah battery on , it looks like a tank but at least the battery last lol.

Im still having trouble with mines too, injust dont understand why phone is draining battery while off and fast . You ciuld feel the heat off the phone while off...

Maybe you should try to get an extended battery pack? here's what i tried - so far so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i70xqUNoYVE

problem with battery or motheboard?

Guys, suddenly with 100% charge, the phone shuts off and restarts alone, and it's like bootloop, then I put it in charge and go. I noticed that while in bootloop, if I go in twrp I do not see the battery charge. I'll put him in charge and go. The ROM is not the problem. Another thing I noticed that sometimes when I do this problem and I charge it, I see the battery while it is charging, as when charging it off and it ranges from 1% to the% where it was actually knocking on second, or every second increases by one. Motherboard or battery problem?
the problem is not every day.

Honor 8 battery charges from 0 to 100% in few minutes

I changed the battery buying a new one on amazon, the problem was that when the phone was at low % it shut off sometimes at 20% sometimes at 40%. Ater changing battery i noticed that the problem disappeared for a week, but then reappeared, so i changed the charger and tested different cables but both charging and discharging are irregular, it charges to 100 in 10 minutes. So i ordered a new charging board on amazon, i changed it but the problem persists. Im desperate, i dont know what to do, sorry for my english. I thank anyone in advance who wants to help me.:crying:

could always try recalibrate your battery

I think you should change your phone's battery mate. I changed mine last week and it's as good as new now. Charges and discharges exactly how it's supposed to. My battery had similar issues before I changed it.

TRY CALIBRATION ?
1.Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2.Turn it on and let it turn off again.
3.Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4.Unplug your charger.
5.Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on the screen as well.
6.Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7.You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
8.Now, install the Battery Calibration app, and before you launch it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then restart.

He said he just put in anofher battery he bought on Amazon. I'm wondering at what point you stop buying parts for what is becoming an unsupported phone and just get another phone.
