Hello !
I have my HTC HD7 since 3 days and in general I am happy with it, but the recharging takes ages.
Is this a normal behavior for the HTC HD7 that the recharging takes between 3 and 4 hours.
I would understand it if I would charge it thru the pc/notbook but it also takes that long if I charge it thru the AC adapter.
I am very interested in your experiences.
Thx
Hi I just bought the phone yesterday and I noticed that as well, it seemed to be chargning a lot slower than what I would expect. I too am curious about this. I charged it for 4 hours and the battery went from dead to about 50 or 60 percent.
Don't worry I was worried at first also, I was also pissed at the wack ass battery life. Could barely last 3/4 of the day for the first few weeks.
Now it takes about an hr. or 2 to charge & it lasts me the whole day. It gets better, be patient.

For all the owners of the 2150 battery
How long is it taking you to get the green light? Today I burned it down to 11%, put it on charge and it's been 3 hours so far. spare parts says its at 98%. Anyone's charging quicker/slower?

3 Hours is about right. Then if you turn OFF the phone the battery will take another 30-40 minutes to get the light to go back to green.
Thats what I am experiencing...
I would have to agree mine is taking quite a while to charge. Fine with me because it also takes quite a while to discharge!

Yeah, you'd need to do the math to determine difference - but if charging the 1300mAh battery takes 1.5 hours sometimes then the 2150 battery taking 3 hours makes sense to me because of how slowing down the charge once the battery approaches 80% is going to slow down the entire charge process.
I'm consistently seeing 3 hours to get back to full charge after I totally killed it...
This thing is amazing! Last night I finally let my phone just die and charge fully. This morning I unplugged it and started using it. I actually thought it wasn't reading the battery stats correctly because it was stuck on 100%. So i started using the GPS, Bluetooth etc... Finally after 3:45 up time and 1 hour awake I dropped from 100% to 99%. I am now at 4:15 up time and 1 :15 awake and at 95% and have been listening to a podcast for the past 20 minutes.
SOOOOO much better than the stock battery.
BTW - running Skyraider 3.1 RC3 with Kingx #4 kernel. Set CPU set to 998 max and screen off to 245-384.
the first time i used it i had 90 hours up time and 17 awake. This thing is crazy!
This battery sounds incredible

Seidio recommends 12hrs of charging? i only sleep for 5 hrs each night.
I just recieved my battery from Verizon yesterday. Dumb Fedex didnt leave the note on the door so i had to wait an extra three days. Anyway i charged last night bump charged this morning which took 1.5hrs WOW. One phone call and I'm down to 99% already. I will let the battery get down to 5% then recharge and bump charge i will do this two times and see what kinda battery life i get. For the size difference it better be really good. It definetly took away the slim line look. But as much as i use my phone i hate being constantly hooked to a charger.

After about 2 weeks of letting it die/recharging, it now doesn't even need bump charging if I just leave your phone off to charge the whole time. And mine used to drop really fast the first time but it has stopped doing that now. Goodluck

Wow that 3150 one is huge!!!
Though seeing the price difference is practically the same on Amazon I'm thinking about getting the 3150
I bought this OE HTC 1500mAh battery for $17.99 shipped. Brand new, can't beat it.

does this battery need an extended door? I bought the seido case, I hope it works with this battery
Nope. It is fine

You can get used to the extra bulk quickly. I love this extended battery. I can use as much as I want during the day and charge at night.
I received this battery yesterday. I put it in my Incredible and it said there was like %40 of charge. I then turned my phone off and charged it for like an hour or so. I turned the phone on and saw it charged to about 97%. I sat there and watched the battery drain super fast. I mean, 1 minute it would go down like 1-3 %. I was like WTF?? I'm running CM6 and setCPU. Do you all think I need a new kernel? I was going to try a different ROM, but this battery shouldn't be draining this fast should it?
What are the proper step the charging a new battery? Does it really have to be charged for 8-12hrs? If so, I can buy a external charger and let it sit overnight.
Any thoughts?
Dude, it does that quick few % drainage no matter what you're running.
wow is all i have to say, i just got the 2150mAh, with the original battery normally i unplug @ 8am and dead by 4ish pm, it is now 1030pm i have 37% and ive been using my phone a fair amount today, this battery is amazing
I've had my SGS Plus for a bit over a year now and the battery died few weeks ago.
It started with reboots, mainly with high battery drain use like browsing and gaming. When it tried to reboot, came a pop-up telling that I should connect my phone to a charger even tho I had plenty of juice left, and then it shut down the phone because the battery level was too low. When it finally booted after 3-5 reboots caused by low battery, battery level was ~5-8%, and it started to charge itself slowly, so that it would almost reach the level It had before the reboot in a few hours.
The battery lasted +2 days on average with my use, so it definitely has not been charged too many times (150-200 charge cycles). Samsung gives a six month warranty for the battery, so no help from there. The battery itself had swollen ~1-2 mm, that how I got a clue where to look for the fault.
Do you consider this normal? How long has your battery been serving you?
The battery of my i9000 still works after 2 years. Batterys are quite unpredictable so IMo it's not something you could blame on Samsung unless everybody would have this problem. In other words yes I think it's normal, but you are unlucky.
It isn't a big problem either since you can buy a replacement for just a few dollars if you don't care it's not official. The i9001 battery has more capacity though so they are either expensive or hard to find.
Hey all.. Picked up a Verizon Moto X yesterday and am absolutely loving it. I did have a quick question concerning the battery and am trying to figure out if I need to take this one in and exchange it. Yesterday when I was using the phone out of the box it drained fairly quickly. When the battery hit about 18 percent I got a warning that the battery was getting low... less than 30 seconds later I was getting another warning that the battery was at 13 percent and another 30 second I was at 3 percent battery.. I plugged the phone in, charged it to 100 percent and chalked this up to just a weak charge out of the box.
After the phone was off the charger I played a game of dots, watched about 40 minutes of man of steel and went to bed at 86 percent battery. When I woke up 7 hours later battery had drained to 67 percent. I went about my day and wanted to see how the battery served me at work.
Same thing happened this evening where the battery hit about 18 percent and within a minute I was getting a 3 percent warning. I used the phone for about another four minutes and it died completely.
I'm not really complaining about battery life... All in all I had around 21 hours with 2 and a half hours screen on time. I did notice that Google services had the phone "awake" for almost 20 hours. I'm mostly concerned about the sudden drop in battery and was curious as to if anyone else has experienced it. I'm currently letting the phone charge powered off in hopes that it helps. Thanks in advance guys.

My phone does the same thing. The last 20% sucks. Just dies. Lol

Try doing a battery calibration. Check if there's any app sucking the battery that much.
My Moto X today kept 2h and 30 minutes on 1% battery (i've put it on charge before dying), and took like forever to get from 20% to that.
Maybe you got a defective unit.
No cuz it drops quickly to 1% but just like u that last 1% easily goes for half hour to hour. Idk my actual problem is it'll say 14% left then in 10 minutes 4% left!
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Same here except I have the at&t version
I have the Rogers version and I've had it drop from ~25% to 15% pretty quickly. From 15% to 0 it lasts ok, but it has never stayed on 1 or 2 for very long. I've only gone through 3-4 charge cycles so far. Overall the battery life seems pretty good.
dsuctf which
While mine doesn't drop that quickly, I did go my first day with the phone for 18 hours, and then the next day in pretty much the same conditions it only lasted 11. Going to try again today and see if it does it again.

interesting. mine got to 3% last night and i got "nervous" and plugged it in. has anyone actually killed off the battery yet (shut the phone down)? seems like previous DROID phones would shutdown long before it got to 1%.
had the same issue for weeks. the fix: let phone die completely. then charge phone back up to 100%. I left the phone off while charging (not sure if it is necessary but I did it anyway to ensure that the phones software wasn't causing the phone to charge weird). Once i did this, the phone never dropped from 15 to 1% again and it also doesn't charge from 80% to 100% instantly like it used to.
I ended up taking the phone and exchanging it.. New phone did the same thing.. I let it die completely and charged it overnight while powered off.. Today it was prefect.. Actually have had to try to kill it. Also got my kit kat ota... Absolutely loving this phone. Thanks all!

I bought the phone in September 2017. The battery used to last entire day but has been draining really fast recently. I hardly get 4 hours with a full charge and continuous use either browsing or watching videos.
Is this normal after two years? Do i replace the battery?

it's time to replace battery
I get barely 2-3 hours of browsing/spotify these days, on low brightness. Something is draining my battery like crazy since a few days. All was fine 2 weeks ago, but I changed nothing and suddenly it started draining really fast.
