Battery Capacity 2 vs 2S - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Battery Capacity 2 vs 2S - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

I have started using an App called AccuBattery Pro (I bought the pro version) because of the massive amount of battery information and stats.
I still use Ampere, but it pales in comparison to AccuBattery with such things as Charging, Discharging information.
Anyhoot, I installed it on my Mi Mix 2 and one particular stat that struck me was
"Battery Capacity Estimate" in mAh. It notes the Design Capacity of your model of phone and battery, the Mix 2 being 3400.0 mAh. And then it references the Estimated capacity of the battery after an initial charge amount of 5% or more.
Well, 2 weeks of use with the Mi Mix 2 I went from an Estimated Capacity of 2750 mAh (on first two battery cycles) to no higher than 2950 mAh (after two weeks of usage). A far cry from the maximum capacity of 3400 mAh. I did try a full discharge (I know, it's not good for lithium batteries to endure) and a full recharge with screen off.
Charger was a Qualcomm 3.0 charger on a Type-C cable that is 6' long.
Now I am on my Mi Mix 2S, and after only three days or so, I have a calculated Estimated Capacity of 3522 mAh on day 4 Using the same charger, with the same Type-C cable.
What is different between the two you may ask...
Mix 2 was unlocked (the boot loader) and was rooted, TWRP, magisk, Adaway.
Did the Mix 2 have a bad battery from the get go? Is the app in error...
I can say that I feel there is more reserve battery on the Mix 2s over the Mix 2 that I had to date.
Cheers,

These apps are not very accurate... There are devices you can plug between cable and phone to measure the exact amperes

BM3B battery in Mi Mix 2 and Mi Mix 2s = it's the same battery.

Yes, I know but...
1) batteries can come from more than one supplier in the manufacturing supply chain for any given manufacturer.
2) no two batteries are identical in the making up of the various battery cells.
3) batteries can be recycled and distributed as new.
Cheers

Blackberry Battery replacing the original battery

For some time I have had battery problems with my VOX, in Venezuela did not get and buying it on the outside is almost impossible.
So I decided to adapt another of another brand, I tried several models and found that making an adjustment to the battery of "Blackberry" you can make it work.
The battery in question is the C-S2, is a 750 mAh battery which will reduce the operating time especially if you use the WiFi, Bluetooth or music player; but its size and internal electronics is compatible with the VOX. I have a HTC S711, Latin American version of the S710.

The adjustment of the battery is very simple, cut the reliefs found in the base and the battery will fit perfectly on the phone. If the battery is new, it is necessary charge it for at least 8 hours with the phone off.
If you want longer duration of operation of the phone, can replace the battery model for the C-M2 (900 mAh) or the C-X2 (1400 mAh).
I hope this will be helpful to anyone who like me search the original battery of this equip and not get it.

Thanks for the tip!

Please update the wiki with this useful information

The battery C-M2 and C-X2 have the same size as the C-S2

Did you try out the others as well? They are all for different devices (and in the online shops they also look different, at least the color is...).

I bought an old Dopod C500, the seller told me the battery needs replacement, but finding the battery is not an easy task so I got some info here, luckily got a CX-2 while even the shopkeeper did not know he has one,
1. CX-2 is a mm thicker than the CS-2 and hence cover can not be closed, its a tight fit so battery does not drop but a solution is required maybe to use double sided tape or something.
2. The capacity is good but the phone is unable to charge the battery and an external charger is required, I even tried using a blackberry charger to over come this, but no luck. The external charger means you need to pull out the battery and leave the phone off for a couple of hours or have two batteries to use one and charge the other.

Does anone have a desk dock other than the HTC one ?

Please let me know

Yes.
I have a £7 one from China with a battery and battery charging area at the rear.
Works very well, however the phone doesn't automatically go into dock mode, which I'm not too fussed about for what I paid for it.
Looks quite sleek as well.

Seidio also has one as well, and you don't need to take a case off to use it.

Be careful with those China, second battery ones. I had one for a Nokia and, while the front part is fine (the phone has it's own charging logic), the spare battery part is dodgy and will just keep charging as long as the battery is in which means it can overcharge and kill your battery very quickly.
Like I say, the front bit is fine so just use that and if you have a spare battery, charge it in the phone only.

I'm currently using this at work: http://www.play.com//ProductOutline.aspx?title=13518370&r=MBLS
It's amazing how readily it grips without being sticky or anything. It holds my nexus landscape on the occasions I want it to without any problems. It's a bit annoying that the charger is still a cable but it's a universal job so you can't expect it to be any different. The swappable plugs are great if you have several devices too and you can never have too many additional usb ports so thats handy too.

There're some cheaper ones without card reader. Just search "slip stand" on eBay.

I've been trying to find the one I got (I posted it here so I guess I can just search through my own posts) - hopefully it has decent charging logic, which I'm guessing by the fact that there's a little light on it that is red while charging the spare and green when it is charged....I'd assume it'd drop down to trickle at that point, but I'd have to set up an ammeter to be sure.

i would love one like this

Works fine with the N1. Not pretty but it works and it's free, you obviously still need to plug the standard usb cable in.

you do know the droid/milestone has its charging port in the side of the phone to facilitate this right?

Here's one I've had for a long time now http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1370410020&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
This is an updated version compared to mine (a bit more power, dual USB). Since they are so similar, I'll talk about mine. It served me very well, blue indicator lights, automatically turns off if nothing is plugged in, very smooth finish.
I can't speak for how many charges it gave me since its been too long. And I can't test it now since battery capacity decreases over time, but it packs more power than the one you listed. So check it out

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Fla...qid=1370414373&sr=1-1&keywords=powerbank+7800 i got one of these a while back and have nothing but good things to say about it. although at 7800mah, they do offer 12000 versions for a bit more

thats the one I got for 24.99 was just gonna say that 24.99 vs 99.99 hmmm..... and the ravpower has a led light to use as a flashlight... so I guess I didn't think too hard about it.

Yes, 12000mAh is really worth more than 9000mAh. How long your 12000mAh hold power backup or it store the power till we use it?
Do this type of power pack has standy-by time ???
