Hi all,
First of all, sorry if someone talks about it earlier, I red about 10 pages in Development & this topic and found just NOTHING about it, or no solution.
I bought two batteries for my Milestone, a genuine and a compatible. Both aren't working. My phone power on with them in (sorry I think this isn't English lol) but it can't charge them (no LED, and no effective battery charging !). What's more, I have question mark in the battery icon !
I tried almost everything including trying EACH famous ROM (batteries is just working with a MIUI-based on ROM and I hate this one a lot (very slow) and I'm an iOS-like hater) and (except MIUI) it doesn't work !
Even with CM(6&7&9), the FroyoMod 2.9.3, HO!NO!Mod7.2.0RC0 ! What's the problem ?
If you have any proposal or solution, do not hesitate to tell me !
Thank you all !
Sounds to me like your USB port may have bit the dust...If you have to keep the phone, I'd say buy an external charger off of ebay, they're pretty cheap. For 15 USD you can probably get a charger + 2 generic batteries, which isn't too bad!

Sorry but you're wrong. I said (and this is a fact) that i can charge my genuine battery with MIUI. So no problem with USB.
Moreover, I still have my first battery fully working and charging with ANY ROM and have no question mark ! But that, you can't imagine it sorry :/
(I don't really control the English therefore you should not be vexed by my answer)
But thank you very much for your proposal. I try to explain better :
Note that I still have the first battery and it is fully working (charging with anything but have some draining issue)
I bought two batteries, one genuine and one compatible. Unhappily the compatible one die (I left it in my phone till empty..).
The fact is, except on MIUI ROM, I CAN'T charge the battery and the battery icon is... a question mark. Had someone the same issue and solved it ? If yes, please give me the trick. If not, you're guys like me, you can propose all of your ideas obviously.
Sorry for bad English
The genuine battery (the one you bought recently) won't charge? By genuine you mean original motorola? But the original one that came with phone is working properly? And the battery you bought recently, the one that is not original motorola, died because it drained it iself and now does not charge anymore?

OK. The (sold as by a famous french shop (FNAC)) genuine battery which I bought recently won't charge except on MIUI and always show a question mark (except on MIUI obviously). Sold as an official Motorola battery, that's genuine for me.
Yes the original one coming with the phone is working properly And the compatible one bought recently isn't an original (not sold as but looks pretty much the same as an original) and died because it drained it iself (because used in the phone) and now does not charge anymore.
Sorry if there are misunderstandings :/ (because of my misformulated English)!
I belive it is safe to assume that those new batteries are defective. You have one (phone's original) that is working flawlessly while new ones fail.
It is because of the implementation of one percent battery steps. if you are using cm , try disabling them. It is working fine with miui because it does have it implemented

I disagree. It works on MIUI, so they aren't defective It was obviously relevant to the ROM and no to the battery !

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!
http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Extende...211159?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf386c897
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.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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 everyone!
So I bought this battery about 3 weeks ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/221203252844?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 , and expected it to be better than stock, but it unfortunatelly isn't, so here's the tip if anyone is thinking about buying an extra battery, this one is about 20% less than stock.
Has anyone else bought extra batteries for our 4x hd? What's your experiencie?
I bought 2 onite batteries at 2350mah apiece. They seem to last a lot longer than stock.

Hello , I bought new ones from ebay couple of weeks ago , a pack of 3 batteries. so far I tried one of them , first day I turned off my phone and put the new battery in and plugged the charger in without turning it on , it showed that the battery is 3/4 full. Then i kept it for 8 hours, but i kept checking it every now and then , the battery was decreasing ! I thought that theres a problem with the charging animation ... After 8 hours i turned the phone on , it was 3%. So i left it charging while it was on , surprisingly it started charging , up to 83% , then while plugged, it started discharging ... The day after it was charging till 90% and it stayed 90%. I dont know whats the problem , it may be from the charger , i tried different cords but I didnt tried different adapters because that was the only lg original charger, i dont want to try chinese ones ..

Well that sure is weird, but why don't you try another battery? Didn't you buy 3?
I did , but I am waiting for the current one to see if it might work well , you know like give it 1 week , maybe in full charge/discharge circulation it might work. But I'll be testing the second one soon , I think ill come back to post my results.

I have very good experience with Polar Cell batteries. They are a bit pricey, but they are built in Germany and have a real capacity. I haven't bought one for my 4x yet, but if I buy a spare battery, it's going to be one of these.

Hi guys, I bought htc one, almost 6 month ago. It was amazing nd all but i still felt it wasnt working well.
Then i used some roms .. didnt help much. battery was killed. I thought it was coz of rom. Well then finally after asking alot of advice here, I returned htc one to 100% factory settings (pain in the a..) then sent it to warrenty.
Here is a list of all things they changed (attachment). Is that normal?
did i have a really badly made htc one? or did i broke the components by using unoffical chargers/roms/kernels etc etc etc.????
Since I have noticed that it works WAY faster and battery is way better than it was.
maybe its coz i used xcover 2 the time htc one was away so i kinda got used to that piece of s... ? anyhow im way more satesfied with it now than before. but still, this is first time i sent phone to warrenty so i dont know if this much changes to the device is normal or not
Ps. The reason for giving it to warrenty: battery would get to 100%, when unpluged worked normal until 60-70%, then it would just die. no way to turn it on without puting it on charger atleast for 20 minutes.
(if i didnt put it on charger.. after 2-3 hours it would magiclly get 20-40% charge lol)
sorry about my english guys

Wow they changed a lot of things here!
I see 2 options, either your battery over heated and died + damaged some components or they damaged the phone when trying to open it to change the faulty battery/usb port.
Don't worry, at least your phone is working good now, there is so much horror stories about warranty repair here, glad to see yours came back in good condition.

Thanks for the reply bro.
Now i wanna know what caused the death of the battery. was it coz i used some unoffical chargers?
(like samsung charger which is for note 10.1 tablet, and some nokia chargers)
or was it coz i flashed roms way too frequently?
I m scared to unlock it again and start flashing but i really want to

You should only use official chargers, or at least be sure they output the same voltage (5v). There are some tablets charger (i.e Asus TF101) that output 10V and that amount of voltage will probably kill the battery....
Maybe it was only a bad battery, maybe damaged by CPU overheat.... who knows
Flashing roms doesn't damage the battery

Ok, so the culprit was the tablet charger.
Well its good to know about the roms then finally can get back to CM11 until offical sense 6
hello guys, Last year I bought a charger with fast charge, I damaged the battery, I bought a supposedly original one and the screen took off, I assumed that it could be the battery that has succumbed to the charger, someone can pass me a link to a 100% original battery and reliable ?, I will stick the screen and buy another charger, I was looking for original batteries and I do not trust, I trust more in your experiences, thanks for reading me

Hello,
i replaced the battery of my Mi 11 with a original replacement battery and measured the capacity of the new one with a USB meter but the phone doesnt charge even close to the 4600mah. It charges up to 3800mah like the old battery. Does the system limit the charge because it "doesnt know" that there is a new battery? I already hard reseted the phone and also tried different custom roms but it didnt help, I am on xiaomi.eu rom currently.
If you have any idea, ill be glad to hear it.
Thank you!
Prolly the replacement battery isn't original at all. I replaced mine bought from dragon-tt and capacity is 4450mAh. That's how it looks like:

I need a new battery too, does this one charge at the same speed as the original?
I bought one which turned out to be fake but not only was the battery capacity only about 3800mAh, it also charged really slow.

Yes. As you can see it's original new battery. Charging and capacity is works as the factory battery which came with the phone originally. Bought from dragon-tt.com around 20$. Definitely worth the money!
