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.
What is the normal battery life one should get from a 1.5 year old HTC Gene? Like talktime, etc?
I can talk a max of 20-30 minutes on a single charge -- though I haven't counted.
I have to charge every 2 days (falls to almost zero by that time) when I have not used it AT ALL, other than as an alarm clock and a few texts.
This dramatic decrease happened long ago after my HTC Gene fell into a bucket of water and got soaked for a second or so. I dismantled immediately and let it dry, it worked when I tried 2-3 days later -- but battery life altered significantly!
Is it a battery problem -- or a mainboard problem?
I am afraid that I might buy a new battery BUT still not get normal battery life!
What is the price of an Original HTC Gene battery?
If you are so concerned, why don't you try their Service Center?
Do it and know sure-shot.. Get your peace of mind..
PS: Before that, try replacing with a frnds battery.. (Save you the efforts, loss and cash for the Service Centre)
Hello all,
I have been unhappy with the battery life in my Revolution pretty much since I got it in December. This past week I went on ebay and got an extended battery, but I think it isn't compatible or something... Whenever I turn the phone on with this battery in it, I get the message "Use genuine battery. -Power off-"
Has anybody else had an issue like this with an extended battery? The one I bought is:

Says it's compatible but it's obviously not. Return it and get the one through Verizon.

Hello guys im new here and also a noob, i just bought this phone and i have a problem with the signal on my phone, its only has 1 bar when i entering a building or even lost, is this normal or software bug or my phone is broken? The phone came with android 10 already, and also i noticed my battery life is not good at all, its draining pretty fast, am i got a bad phone, i dont know if any of you guys had this problem like me? Please share your opinion with owning a XZ3. Thank you and sorry for my bad english
When you have a Sony phone with a 3300 mah battery and a 2k resolution display, you can't expect much in terms of the battery life.
