I don't have a Dopod but an x7500/Advantage and I don't have this problem with the battery. Are you using the supplied wall charger or trying to charge via USB through a computer or other low power source?

im charging with my wall charger and i realy need external battery charger do you know where can i find it? im working on city to city and 4 days of the week im in travel. thats why i need external charger.
external battery links for Athena...
Here are a couple links (keep in mind I haven't tried any of these):
http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com/u....html?osCsid=07345864b9a37c51317edce76f1ca7ef
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=118661
Hope this is what you're looking for. The first one is a 5400mAh external battery. Sounds like it'll last a long time on the Athena since the factory battery is only 2200mAh.

Sorry but I've never seen one for the Athena. Maybe I just haven't run into one or the device is too new for these to be out already. If you find one please post it here for the rest of us. Also, please no more double posting.

That's just for the battery. I think the original post is looking for a docking cradle for the Athena itself, and IIRC HTC were planning on launching such a device, with a fairly high cost.

Quick one. The guy in the Orange shop said charge the Diamond for 8 hours with it switched off on first use. Is that the best amount of time to charge?
Also, I see the battery already has some charge on it, if that makes any difference.

Just charge it until it reaches 100% and you will be ok. Besides, after the battery is charged it doesn't do anything more so no need to have it charging for 8 hours. No need either to have the phone turned off. And try not to let the battery drain completely before charging. Don't let it drop below 10-15%.
Currently it shows 3 bars on the battery. It came with that out of the box. Does that mean I should wait for that to drain before recharging?
No. All devices come with the battery partially charged. Just plug it in (it is better to use your pc for charging rather than the AC charger) and let it charge until it reaches 100%.
Hi,
I have kaiser since 20days, so I noticed strange thing:
-when my kaiser is in stand by mode with display off, by battery can last very long - like 10% in a day
-BUT when I do something battery goes very fast down - like 5min call 15%down, or 2-3min lisening music 10% down
Is it normal?
PS
I'm charging it from the PC USB
hey there..u should flash your device to other radio..try here
im sure it will help
how come the radio version can contribute to the battery life?!
I'm with 1.65.16.25 radio.
So I do not need new battery?
New battery performance may be unusual

When your battery is still new (and 20 days is still quite new), it won't perform at maximum capacity and with normal discharge performance - give it time. Additionally, if you are unfamiliar with these devices, they are battery hogs even when the battery isn't new so it'd be worth buying a second or even third battery along with a cradle capable of spare battery recharging if you are planning on lots of use during a day. I've got through about 2.5 batteries in a long day before. If you read your devices manual and search the forums here, there are plenty of guidlines to help you maximise each battery charge. If you do post again, it would help if you provide the specifics of your device (ROM/Radio/SPL etc). The wiki explains how you can find this info out and it's worthwhile reading for all people new to a TyTN II.
Edit: Just seen your new post and the Radio incorporates certain drivers which decide (among many other things) how the CPU resources are used. The more the CPU is used, the higher will be the power consumption. I used to use that Radio when I briefly had Windows Mobile 6.1 on my device and found it's performance (in many respects) to be lacking so it'd be worth checking if there's a newer official ROM from your suppliers website which may include a newer Radio.

In that case maybe the battery is on it's way out (they start doing things like this when they get old as well). If you get a spare or two and carry them around with you, there'll be no worries about running out.

One of my batteries came bundled with a cradle that recharges both the phone and spare battery, the other spare is a HTC original (through their repair centre in Milton Keynes). Both seem to perform similarly but there are many threads here about battery choices that you can search for and read up on! No one is going to hold your hand and advise you to buy x over y - thats your choice!

First post here, be easy on me. I love this Nexus S, my first android phone, but man this battery issue has really bothered me. I would wake up in the morning, take my phone off the charger and immediately be at 96%. After 15 minutes of checking emails and surfing, I would be below 90% by the time I got to work an hour later. I was spending half the day charging my battery, so I decided to order 2 OEM batteries and a wall charger off Ebay.
Well little I did I know that this would solve two problems. First, the wall charger charges the batteries to 100% and provides significantly more life. For some reason the phone does not let the battery truly get to 100%. Second, when I get home from work or wherever, I can just pop in another battery and be fully charged again. Now I don't have to sit and worry about charging my battery all the dang time, and my batteries are lasting much longer to boot using the wall charger. I am not sure I can post links yet, so what I ordered was an M9P wall charger for like $10 and a couple extra OEM batteries for $10/per on Ebay. I ordered from US sellers so I didnt have to wait weeks also. You might be able to find cheaper if you order from a hong kong seller. Anyway, I hope this helps someone as frustrated as me.

No trickle charge is applied because lithium-ion is unable to absorb overcharge. A continuous trickle charge above 4.05V/cell would causes plating of metallic lithium that could lead to instabilities and compromise safety. Instead, a brief topping charge is provided to compensate for the small self-discharge the battery and its protective circuit consume. … Typically, the charge kicks in when the open terminal voltage drops to 4.05V/cell and turns off at a high 4.20V/cell.
There is a whole lot more info on that site, but I’ll sum up the excerpt, if you continually charge a Lithium Ion battery, it will degrade, and worst case explode, but hey, at least it looks cool when it does.
Just don’t end up like others have, for example, a Chinese man who took his phone off the charger, put it in his pocket, and then it exploded. To read a little more about that, check out EnGadget, if you want to see the phone, Tech-Ex. Here’s another one, no one was killed, but it burst into flames, over on PCWorld.

IMO. I rather have it sit at 95% than to have my phone catch on fire. Better safe than sorry.
I've been charging my mobile devices to 100% for years with no issues. I'm not too worried about it since I don't mod my phone. All I wanted to do was have a battery that lasts and I now have that. Thank you.

From what I am seeing and how much longer my battery is lasting, I am getting a fuller charge and WAY longer battery life charging batteries in the wall charger. I had the same issue as many others with this phone. The battery wouldn't charge to 100% and general battery life is pretty poor. I thought my phone was bad so I exchanged it and the battery life was identical.
I recommend everyone who questions my results, if you have a spare $20 and are sick of the poor battery performance of this phone to get a wall charger and spare OEM battery off Ebay or wherever. Theories are nice and everyone has one but I'll take real world results over theories any day.

"WAY longer battery life"? Really really? I'm having some trouble believing this. The standard battery is 1500mAh. Are the extra batteries the same capacity? Because we are talking about something around 4-6% more power here.
This is either confirmation bias or blatant advertising.
Edit:
Fun fact: These two listings are from different sellers, but both write "Samusng" instead of "Samsung".

Obviously i'm not advertising, I am just posting my observations. My battery is lasting several hours longer than it did before under similar use. Right now I'm going on 6.5hrs of light use and I'm still at 81%. The OEM batteries I bought show the exact same part # as the one that came in the phone, but say 1440mah instead of 1500. I'm not observing any difference in how long they last compared to the original battery as today I am on the 1440 one.

I don't believe that unless your wonder-charger is literally cooking the batteries to death by some serious over-charging.

So, the original battery to 1500mAh, charged to 96% in the phone would give ... 1440mAh. And range anxiety.
But the extra batteries, charged to 100% in the wonder-charger would give ... 1440mAh. And a peaceful feeling.
Yeah, I don't really see the "WAY longer battery life" here. If those 4-6% extra charge gives "several hours longer" then a full charge would be good for a couple of days of use anyway. And yet you were "spending half the day charging your battery". There's something odd about your story. The numbers don't really add up.

No thanks. I have that exact same charger, and an extra original battery. If that charger actually makes that much of a difference, I don't want to cook my spare battery to death with it.
But feel free to back your claims by some real numbers taken from, you know, objective tests. One battery charged in the phone, the other in the wonder-charger. Then do the exact same thing (play music or whatever) until the batteries hit 15% remaining. Then post the elapsed times here.
Your condescending tone isn't worth my breath. My results are my results and I wished to share them with other people having battery issues and what I did to resolve them. I will continue 'cooking' my $10 batteries to a full charge and having a phone last several hours longer than it did before I started 'cooking'. You can do whatever with yours. Good luck to ya buddy.

You know this isn't your blog or twitter feed to promote what you're doing.
Just like what you said, you're new to XDA so I wouldn't be too fond on trusting you either because you haven't been around too long.
I'll continue to stick to my battery. Grats on your long battery.
I go a full day with heavy use on my stock battery. Not sure what your problem is. Unless you can put up some real numbers though, this thread is not worth anyone's time.
After ordering both an OEM battery and the M9P charger I can confirm this.
I don't have screenshots yet, but The stock battery and the replacement OEM batteries I ordered. Function at around 4-6 hours more on the wall charger. With the stock charger charging my stock battery, I was seeing around 16-19hours with heavy use(phone and phone+bluetooth/text/web/youtube) with the M9P charger charging the battery, I have seen roughly a 4-6 hour improvement in battery life depending upon the usage change(i.e if i'm playing angry bird or NFS Shift along with other normal stuff)
I am, however, convinced the pulse charging vs. trickle charging done by the stock charger won't shorten the battery life. Plating will be come a real problem later on down the line, but with any smartphone, I don't expect to keep a battery longer than a year with my use before i either replace the phone or the battery.
If you guys want battery history shots, or whatever you might need to to help you get a better picture of what's going on, please let me know. I'd be happy to provide them.

Thanks for confirming my results. I was very displeased with the battery life of this phone, but since I went to the wall charger and just swapping batteries, I am getting a full 24hrs use and still have 10-20% left when I swap before work every morning. All in all a pretty cheap investment for the gains.
I am not seeing any noticeable difference between the 1440mah and 1500mah batteries either.
Just wanted to post my experience about battery life. It lasts almost two days (I switch off my phone for six hours every night). It wouldn't charge more than 95-96% every time. And it took really long time to charge too, with the oem charger. And then I tried my wife's Nokia charger, which is also 5V output but 1200mA instead of 700mA the oem is. And charged it turned on. And there it was! A bit less charging time, and for the first time it said 100% charged. That happened the last 6 charges with the Nokia charger. I hope I am not damaging the battery with what I'm doing. I can't say it lasts more than before. Nothing noticable. But at least it's fully charged and it doesn't take all day to charge.
i get 100% everytime when i unplug it will either drop to 97% or to 96% but will still last a whole day of use. i dont charge my battery unless it turns red with the X or till it shuts itself off.
Hi! I'm looking for a charger with auto turn off with 2 AMPs. I'm in USA so links to local shops or smth like amazon are welcome
Similar to this one, but 2 AMPs NOT 1: http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/public/en/bussmann/consumer/products/chargesmart.html
I want to use it with my battery charger: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
Because with that thing you can leave your battery to charge for the whole night & not worry that you miss the moment when you should unplug it. It charges exactly as much as needed & doesn't damage your battery!
I wonder why all vendors don't make charges like this one. Maybe to sell more batteries?
Just an FYI but all phones stop charging when the battery gets full.
Also it only costs about $1 per year in electricity to keep charging your phone.
Just use the original charger for the Note2.
At least the european version of the charger delivers 2amps and
when the Phone is full or nothing is connected to it the consumption is so deep that i couldnt measure it.
why not you using your note 2 original charger & cable ?
it sure deliver full 2 Amp and able to cut off power when battery is full
I'm pretty sure what the OP meant is they want an auto-off charger to be used with the battery dock charger. Sure, the phone has an internal controller that stops charging when the battery is full, but I think the OP wants the auto-off feature with charging the battery as well. I'm not completely sure, but I believe there should be a charge controller inside that Samsung dock. If you're up to the challenge, you can take apart your battery charger and see for yourself. Any kind of circuit between the charger and the battery should be the voltage/current regulator, and quite possibly the charge controller.

1) The phone looses 2-3% overnight. So when it charged to 100% & then looses 1% it starts to charge again. I think it's called "trickle charges" & I was worried if it could reduce the battery's ability to charge to true 100% in the long term.
But I read several articles about it & looks like with today's batteries this is almost not a problem & you can leave your phone to charge overnight.
2) I know that exposure to heat is the worst thing fir litium batteries, but several articles confirmed that there's no such a problem with today's phones & batteries.
& it was not about electricity bill anyway )
& yes I do use both original Samsung charger (travel one with 2 amps) & Samsung docking station to which I posted the link in my first post.
Thank you guys!

The problem with lithium ion batteries in our phones is that it has a shelf life rated at 2 years. By the time you were able to wear your battery down through it's rated cycles, it would be time to get a new one anyways. I would suggest to buy a new battery in a year or so which should last the life of your phone if you don't sell it or upgrade.
If you find what you want, awesome. I see it as unneeded waste to buy something like that if integrity of the battery is an issue. Each battery has an IC chip that controls everything needed to operate at its' maximum. Any gains in battery life would be negligible due to its' shelf life. Sorry :/

1) The phone looses 2-3% overnight. So when it charged to 100% & then looses 1% it starts to charge again. I think it's called "trickle charges" & I was worried if it could reduce the battery's ability to charge to true 100% in the long term.
But I read several articles about it & looks like with today's batteries this is almost not a problem & you can leave your phone to charge overnight.
2) I know that exposure to heat is the worst thing fir litium batteries, but several articles confirmed that there's no such a problem with today's phones & batteries.
& it was not about electricity bill anyway )
& yes I do use both original Samsung charger (travel one with 2 amps) & Samsung docking station to which I posted the link in my first post.
Thank you guys!
Here're the prooflinks to some of the articles I've read about overnight charging, maybe someone wants to read them too:

So the point of my last post is that I'm not going to buy anything. Please read what you're quoting before posting
Or please be explicit? Your post didn't offer any hard impression on me that you were properly informed. Sorry I don't have time to decipher poorly expressed thoughts.
Good night.

So don't be lazy or too willing to get extra +1 in your "Posts" section. If you don't want to "decipher" OP posts then why answer at all? :laugh:
