Hi, Need help.. Is it normal for O2 XDA II to turn off at below 40% batt. life? it turns off for atlst 4mins. then turn back ON again and if u try using it again, it turns off again. Is this some kind of there safety features so that batt. life will not be drained? thnx in advnce..
why are you letting it get that low?
you have to remember it is more than a phone so to preserve your data it does shut down if the battery is low, but the standard battery (1300 mAh) isn't vast and if your walking about with the screen on all day it will drain very quickly turn the screen off so its not running the battery flat and it should be fine OR buy a high Ah battery as I did for my XDA IIi from HK cheap as chips and I can go two days easy without charging
It only goes for about 6hrs.. dont know y, yup i kept on turning off the screen. wat Ah capacity did you buy? mine doesn't go long for a day, kept on charging it every day.
3600 mAh if I leave the screen off it lasts about 48 hours comes with a new back cover that while a little diffcult to shut it does and covers the battery fine
think this is the link
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/battery_centre/
it cost £9.99 plus I think it was £4.99 P & P
Thnx owl, maybe the prob. is with in the batt., i'll try to buy new one..
I just had a replacement 3600mAh battery from a retailer here in the UK (Ebay) as the first battery they gave me was faulty. This one seems to take forever to drain
A std 1300mAh OEM battery should last a couple of days with the radio/Phone on but screen off in standby mode.
The 3600mAh battery should last the best part of a week or longer before it needs a recharge if left on standby. If yours only lasts for a couple of days then you have a faulty battery because yours is doing the same as the faulty one i had, which wasn't even lasting as long as my OEM 1300mAh battery.
I'd get the retailer to exchange it.
Hi!
I'v just bought 3600 mAh battery at http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/battery_centre/ for my xda 2i.
But instead of original 1300 battery, charge indicator shows only 100% or just 0.
Is it because of new battery and i simply need to fully charge and discharge new battery 2-3 times or is it problem of ppc?
Thanks in advance for answer, Gleb
tbattery 0.60 i think it is always reads 12296
it read that with my OEM 1230 battery
it read that with my ECell 1350 battery
and now its reading that with my new 1600mAh Andida battery.
i just read someone else say the same
"Bought 1600mAh Andida battery.
tBattery shows the full mAh as 12296. what is that."
I would like to know of another app like tbattery to read the size/capacity of my battery if possible!!
not just how full it is in %
also so far with the 3 i have tested it seems that my OEM lasts the longest since I had charged it 7/8 times and it seemed to get better after a good few charges
the other 2 are new so not charged them a lot yet
but my ECell 1350mAh is on its way back, been talking to a lady from the company and since when i use that battery and my phone is charging via the wall or USB my phone overheats and the light flashes so she said to send it back, i also asked about why it reads as a 1230mAh with tbattery and she assured my that is as as 1350mAh capacity but now i have read that others say all their batteries read as a 1230mAh with tbattery!!
could of been just bad luck but it was also £2 more expensive than the 1600mAh i bought!!
also not sure if i should let them become empty as i have read someone say and then i have also read to charge when possible as the batteries prefer this so if its on 70% i should not wait, i should charge it!!!!
thanks in advance!!
Use battclock to display current, put the phone in a state where it always draws the same current continuously (i.e in flight mode, turn off auto dim and auto standby, full backlight), read current and time how long the phone holds from a full charge until it shuts off. That's the best you can do.
Capacity = displayed current * time in hours.

Hi Kilrah
To see how much of my battery is being used per hour I use batlog
what I am looking for is an app to show the capacity of my battery
since I have a 1230 OEM
an 1350 Ecell
and a 1600 andida
but with tbattery they all read as 1230mAh
so i need or should i say want an app just to see if these batteries are what I was told!!
just looked at batclock and that tells me how much of my battery is being used per hour but not the total capacity of my battery!!!
so for the short little while, in the span of 5 minutes, i've been trying to gauge the Voltage capacity of the stock battery when at 100%
it has jumped from:
4.118 V
4.162 V
4.123 V
4.166 V
4.170 V
and then back down again...
4.170 V
Can some one confirm how much battery we get when the battery is fully charged at 100%?
i was trying to compare the stock vs the extended battery 4.173 V Li-Ion 1850 mAh
which sits very stable at 4.173 V
info from BatteryWatch App, also Battery Indicator Pro
Sorry, I don't have the link handy, but somebody else on the board posted a detailed explanation as to why that is. It has to do with the way Lithium Ion Polymer batteries work. If they're at 100%, the cathode (or anode, I forget which) corrodes and the battery goes bad much more quickly. So our phone is designed to charge up to 100%, then stop charging. It will let the battery get down to somewhere in the 90's, then start charging again. It lengthens the life of the battery.
If you desperately need the 100%, you can turn off the phone, un-plug and then re-plug the phone into power. Then it will charge back up to 100%.
What I do if I'm going to be away from power for awhile is bring along an external battery pack. I bought a decent one from Best Buy for $50, and it's done a good job. I just ordered an 11,000mAH external battery (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=oss_product) and a double-A charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M9Z5F6/ref=oss_product). That should do me when I'll be away from a plug for awhile...

thanks for that... we don't have the 11000 mah in the UK. Ordered myself a 5000 though ... neat little thing
my captivate is v2.2 froyo rooted w z4 and lagfix, My stock battery barely lasts me through a night at work,
I ordered a 3500mah battery from ebay and when i received it I charged it overnight with my phone off....
The next day was a miracle! Battery stayed at 100% for 2 hours, by the end of the day I still had 60% battery left!
I read that the first couple charges need to be cycled so i tried to drain the battery by playing a movie over and over with screen brightness and volume at max.....
the battery lasted forever, after getting it down to 7% I charged it overnight- sameway with phone off, but now nomater what i do it only lasts the length of a stock battery.
I tried unplugging,plugging back in, phone off , phone on, waiting hours after it says 100%(on charger overnight) and tried ac and usb charging, but it just isnt seeming to charge all the way.
I was going to buy a second extended battery and an external battery charger but all the external chargers i see on ebay say are only good for li-ion batteries up to 2000mah, plus i had to modify my otterbox defender case to support my new battery and it would be a pain to have to take case apart everytime i swap batteries.
Ive been reading for days about what to do to no avail, all the external chargers i see arent rated for 3500mah capacity and I wouldnt mind flashing a custom rom that would support extended battery charging but the more research i do the more confused i get.....
Is there a kernal out there that is stable and supports charging these batteries with no bugs or issues????
What custom rom would be best?
please help......
any info is greatly appreciated
you didnt need to start a new thread your questions were being aswered already!

Just bought a 3500 mAh battery off of ebay. I was wondering do i need to condition this battery? If so what are the steps? I see conflicting info all over the place.
thanks!
Conditioning? Like calibrating?
Some batteries said to drain it completely first then charge for 8 full hours to condition it. That's why i was wondering if there was anything i needed to do to get the maximum amount of battery life out of it.
That's a great question. Usually I let it drain fully, then fully recharge. It's just an old habit of mine with new batteries.
usually when you get a new battery itll have some charge in it you need to power the device on let it drain completely till it wont turn on at all then let the battery charge 8-10hrs and you should be good.
