Hi All,
First post. I have been an XDA user since the first O2 XDA came out in the UK in about 2002.
I now have the XDA IIs and I upgraded to WM6. Thanks to everyone for their hard work
I also found the battery was draining faster (the system 'metabolism' seems to be faster since it picks up WiFi and Mobile networks much quicker than the old Radio Stack and Operating System on 2003SE).
Anyway, I bought a 3600mAh extended battery on eBay from Cameron Sino Batteries (HK). The new battery cant be recognised on the XDA IIS by WM6 and it wont hold any charge. Also a pain in the neck because the XDA IIs wont fit in the cradle either, but even when i use the mains AC charger, the battery wont charge nor even get hot. The charger is OK and the Blue Angel is OK.
Anyone know whats going on or what is the work around?
Thanks all.
I know its the hols....
Sorry about the bump.... lots of views...
just wondering if anyone has also had this problem of upgraded batteries not reading properly on the WM6 upgrade on BA / not charging
I thought there might be more as people with this problem as a few are having battery drainage issues... the natural remedy is to get a new battery if you have the funds.
...anyone any answers?
This battery very big, oh no, i'm never using it. You must replace changer, because your changer 800mA +/- 5%. You don't change your XDA on USB !!!
I have the same problem as you.
I also bought the 3600mAh battery.
You noe what I do?
I get a screwdriver (star key). Open the 6 numbers of screw (from cradle) then wala.... done.
The charger is not the problem
Hi,
The charger is not the problem... OK OK... it does not fit in the standard O2 XDA IIs cradle but that it not the main problem.
The main problem is that even if I charge the BA using the AC plug and adapter ONLY (ie. not using the cradle) the battery still does not charge up; it doesnt get warm and the BA does not recognise the new 3600mAh battery.
I hope that made sense!
You need to be patient and leave it to charge overnight. I bought one from ebay and it took more than 6 hours for any sign of charging to show. I had already concluded it was no good but decided to leave it to charge overnight. In the morning when I checked it was 100% charged.
Was it the same?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply; was it the same 3600 mAh battery? I left mine for about 8-10 hours with no result at all.
No charge
Not recognised on wm6
No heat (like a charging battery / battery in use gets warm)
Battery options
If no one has a solution, does anyone know what battery options there are for the BA and what SIZE they are?
The people I bought the battery from might provide an alternative:
Such as
* 1490 mAh
* 3600 mAh
any others?
WM6
Sorry to bump it but need some advice all!
I am running two batteries sequentially on my BA:
1490
2400 MAH
the 2400 MAH Does survive for 5 Days !! soem times more, but the drawback is : when the battery meter is close to 30% it suddenly drops to 9% where it can hold for 3 more days !!
n.b: i am running helmi's WM6
Helmi WM6
I'm running Helmi's WM6 too - great package by the way!!!
The big battery (3600mAh) IS NOT recognised and it does not charge. Is there a solution?
I had an old 3600mAh battery as well as a new one from Cameron Sino that had exhibited the same problems ever since I upgraded my HP4700 PDA to WM6. Cameron even sent me a new replacement battery but the problems remained. Hence, it is most likely an issue with WM6. Since I can't charge them anymore, I don't even know if WM6 had "killed" the extended batteries.
What about 2400mAh and 1500 battery from CS?
Have you guys use them?
I'm looking for a new battery. But i'm totally afraid of 3600mAh from CS right now.
Actually it works!
I have an 3600 battary, and it works fine with WM6!
The only issue is, that if it gets to 30% of charge, it also drops down to 9% instead! That sucks! But my battery works pretty well!
So either your accus are bad, or something else, but not the WM6.
Try to downgrade once, and try your battery then.
Actually I have updated my WM6 with my 3600 accu in, maybe it could help, if you do it aswell?
Once again:
1) Downgrade to 2003
2) Plug-in and test your 3600 battary
3) if it works - charge it completely
4) Upgrade to WM6
if it still shouldn't work, than I can't help you either, sorry. But my battary works, as I already mentioned, fine.

Hi,
I got my 3600 mAh battery today and it seems that I have similar problems to charge the big battery. I connected the oem charger directly to my mda III and....
- The orange charger led is off
- Battery manager diplays "AC-Only"
- Main battery is charged with 0%
I' ll wait until tomorrow from now an will see what's happened over the weekend. The interessting thing is when I disconnect the charger the mda III stays on . Dont know for how long!
My 1700 mAh battery work like the oem battery
I´ll keep you informed
rgds.

Edit:I 'am not able to charge the 3600 mAh battery by using WM 2003, WM 5 and WM 6 either. I think I replace my battery against a other battery.
Did someone know which battery (capacity in mAh) could be charged by using the stock charger?
1700 mAh battery works fine
hi friends,
check with a multimeter the voltage on the battery, if it's under 3.0v try to give a shock directly to the battery with 9v power supply.
if it's not under 3.0v than it's seems that wm6 don't like the battery or the battery is defective.
give me feedback...
i received as a gift a brand new BA two weeks ago, and i'm also figuring to get 3600mah battery.
has anyone found a way to get the hd2 to properly show the battery percent of extended batteries? i have a 2400mah battery and i have to remove the battery and put it back in to get it to show the rest of the battery life when it is almost dead. Its quite annoyin.
Could you give some more information, eg: What ROM, RADIO version you use. And if you use Android, what Android version and kernel.
Also, Use the search function, since there have been a lot of "extended battery not showing right percentage" threads in the HD2 Android Q&A section.

Im using dusk rom with radio 2.10.50.26.
the battery is a cameron sino 2400mah extended battery. Im pretty sure it isnt one of those double batteried made into one. Is there a newer radio update that gives extended battery support that i need?

I dont know, but I have a 2400 mAh battery and it shows the exact percentage .. though I'm using energy ROM . Try to change your rom, maybe its the reason
the problem is your battery! get the original extended battery. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.
the thing is, that these chinese batterys are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.
the chinese batterys are out of date and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!
my battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly.
dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT work with the cheap batterys! i already tested it.
your device is ok, throw away your extended battery or keep it as emergency replacement.
If you have the one from ebay that costed around 13.72 USD
then do this
1.) Charge 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible
2.) Drain battery completely to switch over to second battery
3.) Charge second battery 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible
4.) Drain battery completely
5.) Repeat steps 1-4 once more and your battery should function as expected
Worked For me.
Yes i still have to change battery but i have 2days at first part then remove move in and another 1,5 day is here so its good
the forum here is full with problems of people who did get a cheap chinese battery from ebay or somewhere else, that is not recognized by their htc hd2 and is discharging at the rate of the shipped original small battery.
also the forum is full with "solutions" that are NOT WORKING that WILL NEVER WORK.
this is the reason for this thread to give the people the one and only answer to fix their problem!
first of all, be sure to have the newest firmware to have the extended battery driver.
but this will only solve charging problems if you got one of the first shipped firmwares.
after that get the ORIGINAL EXTENDED BATTERY. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. (looks identical to the original extended battery, maybe its the same)
this batteries will be recognized correctly and will discharge in the right speed!
--- got a chinese "noname" battery? ---
your battery is crap like most other extended batterys for hd2. get another one, but continue reading the rest of this thread before!
i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.
the thing is, that these chinese batteries are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.
the chinese batterys are out of date (they only added a kickstandcover) and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!
i disassembled my chinese cameron sino battery and here is the result: its made of 2 small batteries pakaged in one frame and controlled with one chip that is sending fakedata to the phone, also the temperature is recognized wrong because it doesn't really have a sensor! it always shows 25,X°C all the time. like i said: totally faked data
tip but not a solution: if you discharge your chinese battery to 0%, remove it and put it back into the device, you should have 50% again, but thats no calibration because a calibration of this batteries is not possible!
my "leicke" battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly, also the high quality cover with metal-kickstand is fitting perfectly, not like the chinese ones that never fits!
dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT AND NEVER work with the cheap crappy chinese batteries! i already tested it!
i hope this thread is helping the most people with their cheap-battery-problems.
thanks for reading
Cheers for the info,,,, really was dissapointed with the cheapo one i got the other day..... Could you provide a link for the leicke battery?
~Many thanks in advance....

here is the link of my battery: http://www.amazon.de/LEICKE®-Akku-7VDC-2300mAh-Akkufachdeckel/dp/B0043DOCFE
working 100%
i paid 20.99,- euro 3 weeks ago included shipping inside of germany. current price is 15,- euro without shipping
thanks very much! on order now...
How long does the Leicke battery last by you ?? By me not too long , just a littel more than the original -.-
for me it lasts with wlan on and permanent internet using ca 10-12 hours (and still is not empty). in standby-mode many days and maybe weeks with windows mobile. (under 5-10% draining a day with phone on)
it lasts nearly the double time of the original battery. i can tell you, that the 2300mah are the real capacity and how long your battery lasts depends on your systemsettings, phoneusage etc.
i use battclock to control the current powerdraining. with wlan on it is ca 140-300mah but mostly a little bit under 200mah. so you can calculate yourself how long the battery lasts until it is empty
I'm using the licked battery too and can confirm that it works correctly with the hd2. With current android builds the battery last for 3 days with moderate use. If you can live with the bulky shape, the leicke is definitely a great alternative to the official HTC extended battery. Cover and stand are also quite ok, aluminium cover would be nicer but can surely not be expected at such a low price.

I use the cheap China batterry 2400hr
I bought off ebay for $14.00 US shipped and it works perfectly. The back cover fits like it was made for it. Snaps on cleanly and has never come off or stick up on the edges. The battery charges with Android and WinnMo to 100% and lasts for days. Most of your charging problems may be your rom or radio version. There are probably multiple makers in China so some may be better than others. My Cheap China works works okydoky!
can you share the companyname and capacity of your battery? many people are interested in that
Here is the current link.
It has gone up a little bit. Just bid on it to get the cheaper price. There are several in his store. I got mine several months ago. Just buy a cheap silicone case and cut a hole for the cover to stick through on the back. Works good and looks fine. Only HD2 snobs will know any difference!

Just bought the Leicke too.
Unfortunately it does not charge at all in WinMO
I use an NRG rom.
It seemed to work in Android but it went really fast downhill at 50% at 7% or so it was at 3.9 Volts which is rather high to be at that %.
maybe your rom don't support extended batterys. try another one like the oem rom from htc and test it.
the first roms didn't charge real extended batterys.
and you need the right android kernel for extended batterys because many kernels are buggy,
i use the kernel of froyo sense 2.4 and its working perfectly
Which WinMo rom are you using Schildzilla?
i am using a german rom called "EPS V5" - it is only a little tweaked oem rom with the newest drivers
thanx a lot.. i'm gonna update the kernel
Its nothing to do with the battery , its the android os and he kernel which is main cause of the battery not getting detected where the manufacturers are putting in the code which only detects the stock battery and thus your extended battery reports and drains like the normal battery.
I have a mugen 4800 for my dell streak and because of dell's coding my battery is not getting detected on froyo and on gingerbread, however it is getting detected properly on android 1.5 and 1.6 so its nothing to do with the battery. I agree to your point regarding the kernels having the extended battery support and that is the main cause for this reporting error.
Thanks! Great info mate
Leicke Extended battery only charges when switched off
I've just bought the extended Leicke battery (from Amazon @ £15.)
When plugged into either my laptop or to the mains adapter I get orange and green alternating blinking lights and it doesn't charge. When the phone is off, the light is constant orange and charges.
I have the standard WWE ROM 3.14.405.2 and have just reapplied the same ROM in case I've done something to cause the problem.
This FAQ seems to confirm that the battery won't charge when the HD2 is on as a result of something that HTC have put into the Kernel to try and make sure that we only buy HTC branded batteries. It seems that I will need to go to a custom version, although I may just leave it off over night when charging.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
Got an HTC extended battery. Not recognized by my hd2 running Pdaimatejam WP7 ROM Ver-7.1. I have read though many threads on XDA, but no solution !
After charging in magldr mode for 10 hrs it shows only 55 %. And the battery tool by HTC only shows capacity as 1230 , while the actual capacity is 2300.
Can any one guide me to a wp7 rom which will recognize the extended battery.

I would also need some help, the "stock" MIUI ROM doesn´t recognize the Leicke extended Battery...
Could someone please help me with all this Kernel stuff etc. I´ve read a lot but I don´t know what special Kernel is compatible with what ROM...
EDIT: Is it an alternative to just buy an externel battery dock so that you could just switch the battery if it´s empty?
Hello,
my phone's battery is no longer useful and it doesn't last more than a couple of hours, so i've decided to buy a new one, i saw batteries with 1800mAh capacity, is it good? or i should just buy the original, and if any one know reliable brands i can buy from.
I bought a 1800mAh battery for my X1 and it works fine but I had to buy an external charger too because the phone charges only original batteries. So I suggest you to buy an original battery ;-)
[edit]
I read this thread about batteries,it is very useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540054
I bought non-original battery(1650mAh) manufactured by Forever. Not sure about its actual capacity(I think it's around 1500), but after half a year it still works great. And original charger works with it too. And it cost me 1/5 the price of a original one. The only issue with it is not working temperature sensor.
my battery is 2 years old. it was not good one month ago. then I searched and found something about battery calibration on xda and now it is working well again.
before calibration ---> from 8 AM (100%) to 4 PM (30%) then power off or must charge ...
after calibration ---> from 8 AM (100%) to 8 AM (next day of course, %50)

Hi guys, my battery has been used for over a year and half, started to drain very quick, the recent Android 10 update helped but still draining quicker. Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPLACEM...859434?hash=item5481cba3aa:g:uUwAAOSwYY1enbmT
I highly doubt this is original, and I understand companies do not sell original batteries in bulk to any company, I simply require a high quality battery, not fussed about brand to be honest . I asked the seller to confirm if this OEM battery has the exact same performance MAH as the original, he claimed it was original, when arrived it had the Huawei logo and looked good quality.
looked exactly like the one below.
https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-huawei honor 10 battery.html
The original was around 50grams and replacement 53grams.
I want to know if anyone else has replaced the v10 battery and how it turned out?
Thanks
" Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay."
And how it is? What is the Screen on Time(SOT)?
Can You give more details about the performance of the battery as you alr3ady have IT installed?
