I ordered this Acesoft 3960 mah battery from here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390499613512&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:3160
It may only be 3100 mah (or less) but I thought I would give it a try just in case I could gain some mah's and not change my case. I'm skeptical like most of us tend to be about battery claims.
The charger is cheap, states 800mah. I'm not convinced it's putting that much out. The little plastic parts broke off that hold the battery in place. The battery itself had two small dents. We are not off to a great start.
I charged it up last night on AC and in the phone, and with the phone off, and have it running today.
I'll post some more stats later today and you guys can comment if it looks like 3960mah to you, or just another exaggerated claim.
Here's what it's showing at 4 hours.
Looks pretty decent. Please keep us updated. Especially after a several charge cycles, to let the battery break in.

Been streaming for 8 hours now.
Can you keep updating this for the next couple days? and does this batt charge completely while in the phone? and does it fit with the oem back door? Thanks.
So far this looks promising.

Yes, fits OEM stock battery cover. That's why I was interested in the first place.
It charges fine on AC using the Samsung charger. USB? I don't know, might take a long time.
It ran for 1.5 hours and was still at 90% at 3.5 hours it was at 85%.
looks interesting. thanks for keeping us posted.
Do you find this battery better than the stock battery?

So i'm not sure what to think of your battery life. I have 78% left with 7.5 hours on and 1.75 hours on screen. My screen usage is only 33% of 22% which means roughly 7% total of my battery used there was consumed by my screen. Notice that the main program using the battery was Verbs, not sure why it's called that but it's ePSXe (PSX emulator). Your battery on the other hand was on for 4 hours and used 18% battery with your main usage being your screen at 48% running only for 56 minutes. About 9% of your total battery was consumed by your screen within 56 minutes as your screen was the primary source of draining power. My phone with the Onite battery (stock door) lasted 1 hour and 48 minutes only consuming 7% of the total battery usage.
Hopefully your battery improves with a few more charges.
Please keep us updated sounds very interesting.
Thanks

I'm not sure what to make of it either other than to say 12 hours of streaming music on a single charge sounds good to me. ( pardon the pun) My S2 wasn't even good for 4 hours doing the exact same thing and that much I am sure about.
If nothing else, I figure I have a spare 3100, maybe more.

Yeah no question that the battery is legit, just a matter of capacity. Download Battery stats and let that crunch some battery stats for you.
Duplicate post.
Doesn't look like I gained anything over yesterday. Doing about the same thing this morning as yesterday and my percent of use is about the same at the same time period. At 4 hours, it's down to 80% both days.
Here is battery Stats plus at 4 hours.
Nothing was gained yesterday at all. 12 hours almost to the minute both days so apparently cycling had no effect.
I can wrap this up now after testing stock against this battery.
It's no better than stock but no worse than stock either.
For the extra price you don't gain anything at all and cycling didn't change anything either. The wall charger is cheap and is not a full 2amp.
Now we know.
My battery life is decent, but the charging time is the slowest I've ever seen on any device I've ever owned. I'm not even kidding. Surely it's just a defect on mine right?
Negative. My charge time was ridiculously slow. To the point that while I was charging in my car, if I was doing things along side it, my battery would actually go down. Plugged into wall, it is slow but charges though. Maybe its just US or a small number?
Waiting to get mine still. Did anyone else notice that on Sprint's website it said the One has a 19 hour battery life?

It seemed a little better this afternoon, but I've basically had the device plugged in since this morning(10am)(got it at 55%, and albeit the majority of the time, it was plugged into the vehicle[which hasn't been very good anyways[[my GS3 also loses battery while on charge if doing anything concerning navigation or streaming]]]) and it literally hit 100% about 20 minutes ago. granted I've been using it like a pack mule. and I'm sure you have too.

i heard they packed a li-polymer battery which makes the battery hold its charge longer for the life of the battery when compared to a li-ion battery.. and i dont think htc enabled fast charge like most devices...maybe someone will mod that for us...we need fast charge!!!!!!! still waiting on my ONE

Actually I haven't used it at all. Got it at 2 PM, was at 60%. Dropped my mom off at the airport immediately after, came home and it was 50% at 3:20 PM (which is okay because LTE was on by default and it's super patchy here so I turned it off). Plugged it in and showered, 15 minute shower and I come out and it's 50% still (plugged directly into the wall). Went to work at 5, 55% when I got there. Plugged it in to the computer we have at the front desk and over the course of my 5 hour shift it eventually hit 95% before I had to leave at 10 PM. Un-****ing-acceptable.
yeah, I'd say mine is a little better than that. I left the screen off and didn't use it for like 2 hours and it went from 73% to 91.
I bought a 2.1 amp charger and it hoes from 0 to 100 in 4 hours
Sent from my HTCONE
I don't have my One yet so I can't confirm this personally, but I've read in a few different places that the charging rate is a little slow compared to other phones. My guess is that HTC is trying to maximize the lifespan of the battery since it's non-removable. Quicker charging would generate more heat and might cause it to wear it out faster.
Yes this is the case. Check anandtechs review.
Brian speculates just as you do that it is for longevity.

If I'm not mistaken, the phone has a smart battery or a circuit inside the battery that prevents it from drawing too much current. It is pretty much a standard among smartphones these days. Therefore, even though you use the 2 amp charger, you may not charge faster at all.

My Galaxy S3 definitely charges faster with a 2AMP charger than 500 mA charger.
Do not charge from a computers USB port, they are going to be slow as **** without fast charge.
Just use a 1+ amp charger. Pretty simple people.

I've found thats too much for most phones. It all depends on the charger(most car adapters are crappy), I'd assume. I've had the same with Evo, Optimus, GS2, and GS3. If anything is running alongside gps/navi, it destroys the battery

There's no need to cycle with li-ion or li-po batteries. In fact it's explicitly bad for your battery to run it down to 0.

Running your battery from 100% to 0% is useful in recalibrating the battery in the event of cell mismatches, which can happen over time.

Here's a very good post for information about li-ion / lithium polymer batteries:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40596097&postcount=3
You generally shouldn't need to recalibrate the battery on a new phone (since it's a new battery), but it doesn't hurt if you think your battery may be mis-calibrated. (for example, your phone sits at 0% battery for long amounts of time) Do you have any apps that monitor wakelocks on your phone?
i was complaining my battery was crap yesterday. iv gained 1 hour in battery since yesterday.
GSam reported 9hours 24mins avg battery yesterday. I cycled it once since then and today its showing 10 hours 38mins avg.
Hoping for further improvements.
The phone needs to know where empty and full battery is. I've always calibrated mine by fully charging and killing at least twice with every phone I've owned and had no il effects and got much better battery life afterwards.
So do I calibrate or cycle? If so, how do I do that? Im fully stock and the only battery app I have is the battery guru made for snapdragon devices. Idk if that's what's killing my battery.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
It does no harm to run the battery to 0% occasionally, but the advice i have seen is to try to not run li-ion / li-po batteries below 10% too often as that can shorten their life.
For a new device i would run it down to around 10% with normal use, then give it a real long charge till it indicates fully charged, then unplug it and wait a minute or so then plug it back in and leave it on charge another couple of hours to make sure it is fully 100% charged.
After you have done this whole procedure maybe 3 times, you should have a properley conditioned battery. My HTC One is usually at 50% or better after a 12 hour working day, so i am more than happy with the battery life.

You are totally wrong I am afraid. LiON and LiPO batteries do not have memories and neither like a complete discharge/recharge cycle. The rule is 'a little and often' as far as charging is concerned.

They do NOT have memory effect like nickel-based batteries, but they CAN suffer from cell mismatches which require re-calibration (aka fully charging, discharging, and recharging).

Basically just use your phone for about a week, then you can start fixing it
My experience and questions
Thanks for this excellent post! I got my new HTC One day before yesterday and like the Vincent's post says, the phone had about 40-50% of charge when it came in the box. I was very excited to see the phone that I totally forgot about recalibration of the battery
I used the phone out of the box, and I have charged from 2 nights (from about 15% to 100% charge) and haven't run the battery the battery down to 0% yet (when I say 0% what I mean is the level of charge when the phone automatically turns itself off to protect from complete discharge). My questions below:
1) What should I do now to accurately calibrate my battery life? When I called HTC customer service today they asked me to do battery reset (steps below).
- Untick the quick boot under settings -> power
- Turn off the phone
- Hold down the volume up, volume down and the power button continuously for 1 minute (the phone seem to boot up and shut down 3-4 times during this process)
- Run your battery all the way down to 0% and then charge it fully to 100%
This seems to be a fair procedure but since it was told by customer service, I'm a bit skeptical. So I would very much love to hear some opinion of battery gurus here
2) Does the 2 night charging that I did affect my battery capacity (has the dent been made already)?
Please let me know, and thanks in advance!
PS. The battery life in my experience in the past 2 days has been decent (I have about 20% from 7am - 9pm) and I'm a moderate-heavy user!
I am new in HTC phones. I will get my htc one after 2 days, i mainly want to know about battery charging cycles. how can we do that to get maximum battery life. what is mean by battery calibration ? is the battery to be calibrated in every weak ? sorry for my bad english
Once at month, you have to discarghe the phone at 0%, put it in charge and switch on it when the led is green.
The battery life, during the day, depens of you and your use of phone
Just use it. Charge it when you need to, charge it when you can, top up charge is fine. Calibration is a myth. You don't need to do anything or not do anything abnormal.
Letting it run out and leaving it empty is a bad idea. Charging it, turning it off, charging it, and whatever other voodoo is recommended is a bad idea.

One charge for a day is enough for htc one if you don't play games
If you really want the most optimum battery life out of your phone then don't let it drain below 30% nor let it reach more than 90%. You'll likely get the most charge cycles and prolonged battery life with that. This suggestion sounds sarcastic but this is scientifically factual.

HTC One Battery Conditioning

Click to expand...

G'day mate. When I had my HTC Desire, there was a process of conditioning that was advisable which pushed my battery life from 3/4 of a day to a full day. Having just received my HTC One last Friday (and what a magnificent phone it is too but that is a story for another day), I can honestly say that no conditioning is required (after-all, it does have a 2300mAH battery). I would suggest that you make sure that the first time you charge the phone, you leave it on charge for a minimum of 8hrs (as recommended by HTC). I left it on charge all day and I believe it does make a difference. As for making it last long, may I suggest you invest in an App called Juice Defender Ultimate (not very expensive but extremely useful) ? I am using this app and I have improved the battery life of my One from a single day to approx. 2.5 days. But I am an average user (emails, some internet, some music and blinkfeed). I don't watch movies on my phone so I am not too sure how that will affect battery life but I believe it will have some effect.
I hope this helps you with the answers you seek.
It's based on scientific facts.
When your battery has high load(Almost fully charged) more ions inside the battery are stored there hence doing alot of chemical changes in the battery. And chemical change is the only reason why our batteries here are losing it's capacity.
And the reason why I set 30% as the minimum is because you don't want your battery to be drained too much as there's likely chances that you'll completely drain it causing it to be broken also.
And why limit the examples on HTC One batteries? Is this a serious question or just a joke? We all know that HTC One was just released months ago and another obvious fact is it has a non removable battery. So obviously the answer would be none.
And about real life proofs about my usage and how it affects battery life do you want me to show you a nokia 3310 model still up and running for almost a 8 years now? Also want me to show you my nokia n900 which is already about 4 years now and still kicking it's battery perfectly up to now? I could have also showed you my n95 up and running till now if only it didn't break it's flex cable.
There's no such thing as integrated ticking time bomb on your battery(like rumors in the 20th century where they say electronic ICs have a hard coded date where they will totally shut off) where it would just instantly die once it reach it's recharge limit. What manufacturer in their right mind would do that? Smartphone business isn't a monopoly and every competitor would want the best of them all on their products. Also if this myth would have been true most people's device wouldn't even last a year due to plugging your phone on a computer would initiate a charge also. So would that mean that if I plug my phone on my PC 5x a day and charge it once a day it would only last roughly 6months? lol!
Also here's a good website that would backup my claim.

Did you read those websites? Because their numbers and yours don't agree. So either you made up the numbers or you obtained your scientific facts from elsewhere.
As much as I know....just dont overcharge and frequent charging. Overcharge meaning leaving your phone charged for long hours after it has reached 100%. Frequent charging meaning leaving your home with 100%, reach office at 85% and charge. Going for lunch with 92% and came back with 87% and you charge again. Get the picture? I'm no genius on batteries and dont bother looking up and reading on them. Just based on experience, over many phones. And yes, the first charge is very important.
I thinks the powersave is the best route when not playing any games. If you play games then you can call it quits!

As much as I know, dont drain the battery too much the first time you take it out the box. All batteries comes with a little charge in it. Had a friend who used to work at a mobile company and I cant remember the term he used to describe that. But the first charge doesnt have to be exactly 8hrs. Phone might be fully charged after 4-6hrs if you hadnt used it much from the box. Just dont unplug it before it reaches 100% on the first charge. Let it get to full and leave it for another 10-15mins and its good to go.

I did the same with my house cleaning robot. I had to replace the battery after that.....I'm just saying.

So my One has been charging slow, I know, they made a safety feature where is it will charge slowly to protect the battery from losing its recharge capacity.
BUT this is very slow, I mean overnight charging and still 70%!
I called tech support and the dude said going under 15% battery and charging is really bad for the phone, something about this phone has a Li-On battery vs some other battery tech for the older HTC phones.
I work in security and it is very slow work and I'm constantly on the phone and get to 15% quite fast in my 8 hour shift.
I took it to sprint for a radio issue and the dude said sprint will not replace the phone since over 14 days and said HTC will charge me $50! to give me a new phone! The HTC tech didn't tell me any of that because he told me it could take 2 weeks to get the phone back from repair, so I declined it.
So long story short, it takes over 6 HOURS to charge my phone, when plugged in and in use battery will not recharge either!

mine charges in about 2 hrs. from about 30%, I've never tried it while plugged in and using phone so i don't know about that, all i know is my son has the same phone and his won't keep up while plugged in and using the phone at the same time. (i'm rooted and he isn't, also i'm on a custom rom and kernel)

Yeah..my Galaxy S3 was 100% from 5% in about 2 hours. I'm even on power saver. I don't play games, just youtube videos, internet surfing or email/text.
HTC better give me a a new phone or replace for free!

I think it is a defect because mine charges very fast. From 20% to 80% in about an hour and half. Running pure stock though

^^^^ Nail in the coffin right there... Now to call HTC and get a new phone or new battery put in. Really disappointed with the quality control from them.
Both of my one's charge well.
Fwiw:
Assumimg you don't have insurance your true options would be
Pay a Sprint corp repair store $50 and they will test and replace if necessary. 3-5 days
Call and deal with HTC ..??? Who knows timeframe
Sounds like the was a miscommunication somewhere
Tell more though? Stock rooted..many things can contribute to battery and charging issues.
What is the "radio issue"
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I am completely stock. I don't root my phones until I feel they are slowing down.
The radio issue was the "sim card locked" please power cycle error with multiple dropped calls.
Sprint guy fixed that by "tweaking" the radio signal.

I don't think anyone took the time to read your question.
The phone will charge quickly if it is idle and isn't in use.
The phone will charge STUPID SLOW if it is in use. Typically 10 hrs + to recharge up to 100% if you are a) talking on the phone b) using an app (games) that will truly utilize the hardware of the phone. As far as I can tell, this IS a built-in security feature to preserve the life of the battery.
Example: My past phone batteries would get VERY hot when I am talking on the phone and charging it, but it charges quickly. But long-term effect is that the battery dies within a few months.
The HTC One's battery doesn't get hot while it is charging.
Hope that answers your question.
Buy a nexus 7 charger it will charge quicker

No, even when I am charging overnight AKA sleeping that phone will not get to 100% after I take it off the charger in the morning. Max it gets to is 70%
I'll call HTC again and demand they fix this battery for free or I'll provide them with bad publicity through the internet

My phone will actually lose a charge while charging and using navigation and I have had my battery overheat a couple times while charging and using nav and also while charging and using tango video chat. Phone was blazing hot. Best just to not use phone while charging

Some of you guys are missing the point.
THE PHONE DOES NOT CHARGE EVEN WHEN LEFT ON CHARGE FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT!!!
If that is not a defective battery then what is? If this was my evo 3d I would just buy a new battery not make a big deal but since this "One Piece" BS has trapped the battery inside, I am unable to fully use a brand new phone just months into its ownership!!!
