Magic Extended Battery

I was wondering if anyone has spotted a extended battery for the magic/ion yet? I should be getting my Ion any day and I'd love to have one. I've found no useful results on google.

The device is only a few weeks old, so don't expect to see one for maybe another month or 2.

Actually now that I have had time to play with my Ion; It gets better battery life than what my G1 did with my extended 2600mah Innocell battery. I can't believe the difference. This is what the G1 should have been.

1760mah Extended Magic Battery
His transaction history seems sound and he claims it is 1760mah. I ordered one. I'll let ya know what happens.

Is the size the same that original?

? mines 1340mAh... then again, Vodafone UK model has less ram so makes sense they supplied us with a worse battery too
anyway, be good to know if the battery off ebay makes a difference for you

Ive got a new battery
Not sure if from this seller but its 1760mah, its the same physical size as before.
I need a decent battery app that will show all the tech details which I'll post screenshots of, any ideas

The item is coming from Europe. I ordered it at the end of June and I'm still waiting. I'm pretty disappointed in the time this has taken. This completely goes against the feedback left on his account.

I never did receive the battery. I'll be getting my money back. Although Yoobbao is now offering 2600MAH Batteries! I ordered one and should be receiving it shortly.

Look forward to hearing back from you.
Am a heavy user myself.

The Magic already handles battery life a hell of alot better than the G1 but with so much battery... I don't expect to need to charge it that often.

True that, if I was just making some calls or text messaging i wouldn't need to charge it for at least a couple of days. Some occassions, for example hiking, I tend to leave GPS on all day to record my tracks as well as access some data apps here and there, which I notice the data usage is usually the one to blame that drains the battery fairly quickly. If a bigger battery could rest assure that would be awesome.

The thing with owning a phone like the magic, is that you don't want to stick to just a few calls and texts, when you have so much more at your disposal. Otherwise I would have stuck with my old Nokia and only charged it once every several days.

Exactly, my Sony Ericsson C902 normaly lasts from mon-fri no problem with texting and calling.
With a phone like the magic you do want to make most out of it, and mine normally gives me a full day of continous use. Originally i only used to get half a day as i hammerd it but a few good tweaks make a MASSIVE difference.
- get a brightness widget and just adjust it as required. i have it at 40%.
- get an over clocking app and underclock it when screen is off or having less use. (root needed)
- get a task killer, apps runing in background can drain it too. Well they seem to. (root needed).
Anyway, whats the update on the new battery Gimpeh mate.

It shipped monday with expedited shipping. Keep in mind it is coming from China. I've been using the donation version of Advance Task Manager forever now. Whats the difference between that and Task Killer? I've looked at the description and it appears the same. I wish one of these could be set to auto kill apps that start up. Throughout the day I'll open up task manager only to see that Foobook and a few others are idling again after killing them earlier in the day. Annoyances!

No real difference really, just that task killer has a widget aswell that shows number of apps running and upon clicking it, it kills everything.
I only went over to tasKiller as the advanced task manager app expired.

Damn! Looks like I'll be getting the 3650 now. Anyone want a 2500?

Hi guys,
this is my first post on this board, so i want greet all first.
Looking on the mugen power site, I've realized that with 2600mAh or 3650mAh extended battery you are force to change the battery covery due the size of the battery, and also your phone will become much ticker, it's right?
While I'm pretty happy with the stock Magic battery, looking on the mugen power site i have seen that 1550mAh extended battery doesn't require a cover battery change, so i would be happy to give it a try and mantain the thin shape of the Magic. Anyone can confirm me that the 1550mAh battery doesn't require a cover battery change?
Last question i'm in Italy and i hasn't been able to uderstand where this company is located on both about us and customer service there is some dummy text ,and there are no information on the contact page. The only information that i have is that domain is registred to an'Hungarian man.
So in few word is this site trustable? anyone here has experiece with this battery? They ship from Europe North America or Asia?
Sorry for all this question, but about a month ago the local national tv reported the case of a woman which changed the battery of his phone whith a chinese one, and the phone/battery exploded in her hands.
Thanks all in advance

First smartphone, utterly lost

I just got an LG Optimus 2x from Wind and after *thwip*-ing the screen left and right for several hours, it came to my attention that smartphones can do a lot more than simply sliding the screen horizontally. They can do it vertically too. So after several more hours of that and 11 minutes of porn later, I decided I wanted to root this thing. Burying it in soil and sprinkling water on it didn't work for some reason so I questioned the almighty Google - it led me here.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 (I think?) and I want to gain root permissions and upgrade to CM7. At least that's what I was told on Youtube, dude named analcobra said I want CM7 and who am I to question a guy named analcobra?
Any help is appreciated, I'll post a pic of my tits in return.

well first off welcome to xda, secondly all the info you need is right here just use the search fucntion, people dont like it when you dont use it lol,
i wish i could help you root your phone etc, but i have only just got the o2x myself , did have previous phones but each phone has a different way of getting root etc,

Just download superoneclick, follow instructions, root, download rom manager off android market to flash a recovery image, download cm7 to the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash cm7 the end, tits please?

Dude, you're funny.
Congrats to both of you for your new toys and welcome to XDA.
My personal recommendation, is to read around, stay at stock for a week. Root it maybe, stay for another week or 2, before choosing the ROM that you want to try first.
Staying on stock with all LG crapware and stuff will allow you to:
1) Know if there are any hardware issues your phone might have which should prompt you to return it to the store.
2) Allow you to appreciate rooting and custom ROMs better.
I also recommend lurking on the Android development threads and back reading maybe 5 pages of the more active threads. That way, you'll know what the pros and cons of each ROM is. And you'll know what you'll get yourself into after flashing. (So you don't cry out that you don't have FM radio when you just flashed an ICS ROM.)
My immediate recommendations for 1st time CyanogenMod flashers would be Temasek's CM7 of course. As it is a very active thread, and support is definitely abundant.
Anyway, adjust your LCD brightness, and prepare to read stuff.
Above all, have fun.

All the folks are right above, proceed accordingly.
However, keep in mind that your device is not an O2X(P990) but a G2X(P999), so to prevent yourself from some hassle(bricking your phone,etc.), check the T-Mobile G2X thread.

Thanks, probably would have missed that.
Also, what's with the battery on this thing? I switched my phone off last night (at 62%) and when I turned it on this morning, it was at 25%. Is it supposed to lose that much power even while it's turned off, or do I just have a faulty device?[/color]

Damn, that's bad. Is it a new phone? I only lose 3-4 percent a night when it's not even turned off (just the screen). But I can imagine it's the fault of the original LG ****ware, I had to install it a week ago because I bricked my phone, and after 2 minutes of the CLEAN install it was already lagging heavily.

How new is your phone? You might just need to drain the batt, then charge it to full.
If it still happens, something's wrong with your phone. Take it back to the shop.
Stock froyo roms only use 1% of battery on idle. (2g network use only. No wifi or gps.)

The phone's brand new, I got it like two days ago. The battery was already really low when I got it so I let it die and then charged it back up to like 90% before unplugging it. I'll drain it, charge it again, and then see how things go before returning it I guess. It lost 1% (with the screen turned) off in the last 12 minutes. D:
I don't have a data plan on this (aside from the free 100mb that comes with Wind25) so I had Wind disable the data on it. I also turned off the wifi before turning the phone off last night because I thought it'd save power. Would that have anything to do with it or is my inner noob showing?

Yes. Turning off wifi if you're not going to use it would help.
Having an enabled wifi either:
1) Keeps searching for networks that it can connect to
2) Once connected, will background sync/update certain apps. (i.e. Google Play)

I just noticed that if I do things that are supposed to conserve battery power, they use up more. Switching to 2g only, turning off wifi, etc. I lost 5% in one hour doing that, but when I turned everything back on, I only lost 1% in one hour.
In any case, the battery seems to be doing a little better than yesterday, maybe I just have to drain/charge it a few more times to sort it out? Has anyone else ever had similar problems before?

Gavin, I'm a new smart phone user too and have the same phone from windmobile and the first thing I noticed about the phone was how quickly the battery can drain. I thought it was defective or something but no, that's how it is. Mine would be dead from a full charge in less than 14 hours and that's without any usage, which is shocking and made me consider cancelling my plan. I do have data running however. Anyway, there are a bunch of apps available that can preserve the battery life. I've tried 3 or 4 and the last one (just found it 2 days ago from the Play Store) is the best by far. It's called "battery defender". I fully charged my phone yesterday and after a whole day (24 hrs) I checked the battery status and it showed 90% left (the app adds a battery icon that shows % left). Pretty damn good for a phone that used to be dead in less than 14 hours. I'm extremely happy. You can also try "juice defender" (the first app I tried) but that will probably give you 2 1/2 days on a full charge, which isn't bad.
BTW, draining and charging the batt won't do much if anything at all and in fact it ISN'T recommended that you let it drain below 20%.
Check out those apps and download one. They're free and they DO work. Also, get yourself a car batt charger too and maybe an extra battery.

No need to repeat cycling the battery. You can maybe do it once every 2 months and that's plenty for Lithium Ions.
Electroman is right. Optimum charging cycles go rom discharging only to 20%, then charging back up to 80%. And repeat.
About your battery being worse when you actually disabled your network stuff. I'm thinking you have apps or widgets that are configured to update every so often. And with the network out, they keep on refreshing themselves.
I personally didn't see huge gains from Juice Defender, but those batt saving apps are definitely worth a try.

Wonder if wind is putting any dodgy apps on the phone that use battery up?

Cuz the voltage gets high and reduces the life of the battery. Sort of an increase in MAH at the risk of overcharging and slowly killing the battery. 20-80% is ideal but **** that!

[Q] Interested in buying but a few questions

I am interested in buying this wonderful phone and would like to ask what disadvantages would I have if I buy a phone which has been unlocked (i.e was originally locked to a UK carrier) vis-a-vis a sim-free unlocked phone from a store?
I don't like to flash roms a lot and normally only flash stock roms if official roms take too much to be available, so I was wondering if for me it would make a difference the above? Also would I have bloat ware from carriers and if yes, can I remove?
Thank you for your time.

Before you commite to buy it i feel obligated (as a very dissapointed owner) to warn you against it. First of all bear in mind the battery lasts a half day and it takes another half to get it charged. You get lucky at all if it allows you to continue using it (like making and receiving calls, receiving mails but you probably wan't be able to surf the web and most definitely you will not get online videos as it drains battery out even when the charger is plugged in). Of course you can switch off all the functions and keep the screen black/off but then why would you pay 600-700USD for a phone that with it's functionality doesn't differ from 50-100USD cheap phone. Also for such a power cost don't expect great network reception - it's just avarge. The good, old E51 is much better here. Wifi reception makes it totally useless - you have to seat next to the router to be able o use it. I have couple of devices at home, including some cheap ****ty chinease tablet and "Z" is the only one that can hardly connect and even if it does it droppes the connection. I bought 2 of them and fortunatelly didn't open the second box so i could send it back to shop. The other one i'm sending to sony as not working as advertised - very very far from their promises.
Just to mention: i use original charger, stamina on, greenify installed with just 2 apps not hibernated, network set to LTE (i tried to switch to 3G but didn't really get any better battery life).
Just think it twice mate. As always it's up to you.

You should consider the idea that you have a faulty unit. I'm getting 4-5 hours screen on time on a charge, which is much better than what you are stating and I'm using nothing other than stamina mode in the way of battery saving apps. I will also say that I get less than 1% drain per hour in standby. The battery is far from bad IMHO.

The same applies as above, I guess you weren't smart enough to get the idea that your unit might have been faulty? No instead you just say that the phone is bad.
Maybe you should have opened the second box, then I'm quite sure you would've gotten different results.
Why didn't you decide to open the box anyways? Since it doesn't really matter whether you opened the box or not, if it's within your warranty time (In most countries) you would just get your money back.
So instead of blaming the phone, you should blame yourself for not being thorough enough.

I've dug the internet looking for battery threads and i'm not alone. Just read few battery threads and you will see it's a common problem. Some people say it concerns only root users but you probably agree with me it's out of question. 1hr countinuous standby i get only at night. It's my primary phone (for now) and i use it - 2-3 sometimes 4 hours of phone calls a day and it's like 100 of them and when the battery drains out i still have to do it some how... I haven't mentioned before I use bluetooth headset most of time. The charging time under this circumstances is unacceptable. Like i stated previously the charging is faster at night but if you buy phone to use it not to play with it then you face the serious problem. I've read the stories of people exchanging their headsets for 4 times... When they advertise it as precision fruit of sony's job i expect it to be the best what can they offer. Well after digging and reading hundreds of post with problems like mine i don't feel like going through the multiple exchange process, setting each time the phone up, wasting my time...
Like i wrote before it's up to everybody. For sure if you spend the whole day in the city when the network covarge is nice, do not talk to much and the phone is not a tool of your work you get better, much better or even satysfying results but the other way round be warned.

can any one reply to my questions? :laugh:

As far as I have seen, the custom roms aren't that different from stock roms, in my opinion you can just use stock roms they really aren't bad.

There you go.

As for UK carrier locked phones, mine is a subsidised handset from T-Mobile UK. It runs on the generic firmware (so no bloatware or branding is present) and the bootloader is unlockable.
I can't comment on other networks handsets as I'm the only person I know with a XZ

[Q] Replacement battery? (reboot problem solved)

Hello everyone,
During the last few months I've had issues where my Xperia X8 would randomly enter a repetitive reboot. After five or so reboots, the phone would stabilize and would function normally for a few days until the same thing happened again.
Lately, it started doing it more often, and especially when I was to either make a call or surf the internet for longer than a minute or two. In other words, the problem finally caught my attention as it interfered with the basic functions of a smartphone.
After restoring a six-months old back-up, removing all of the mostly unused apps, formatting the SD card, testing another SIM card and trying out the GingerDX ROM instead of FroyoPro, nothing of which did anything to solve the problem, I asked a fellow X8 user to lend me his battery for a few days as a last ditch fix which I could do on my own. Luckily, this turned out to be the culprit. Now I'm four days in without a single restart and the phone working faster than ever being all cleaned up.
A short story was made long for future reference if anyone else happened to have the same issue. I also posted in this forum instead of Accessories because this one is most active. Sorry about that
Now I'm in the need of a replacement battery, as my friend would prefer to get his battery back. No fancy stuff - a simple 1200 mAh replacement would do. Does anyone have any experience with this?
What's your opinion on these:

The price looks fine and all that, but we all got burned at some point buying non-official merchandise. I'm pretty sure these are neither genuine nor SE batteries, but might as well do as replacements.
Any suggestions?

This.
The price seems very low and i guess you can give it a try. In the worst case you will lose 5£ or so.
I guess they will work for a while but I'm on the same opinion as what you wrote above.

Exactly, and some of the reviews look completely rigged.
Anyway, by some stroke of luck I found what seemed to be the only shop in town that still had the EP500 model replacement battery in their storage, so no ordering via web-shop or other internet venues was necessary. I'm from Croatia, so it ended up costing 9£, which would be the exact equivalent as if I had ordered a similar model from Amazon, taking total shipping into account.
One day in, one call, ~10 SMSs and an hour of so worth of listening to music later, about 15% of the battery was spent, but keep in mind I only use 2G and the phone puts itself on airplane mode during night time.
So, I'm satisfied The only thing I can recommend is that you absolutely try your local vendors before trying anything else, as you do get warranty in most cases and you can easily return the battery if it explodes.

Should I upgrade or is it my phone?

My phone is only 3-4 months old and it's starting to overheat and lose battery fairly quick 5-6 hours usage max. I want to try rooting on stock, but I don't want to have to manually flash monthly security updates.. I'm just kind of over all of that now. I went to FAA and am no longer a flashaholic like I was in my early 20's. I also, don't have the time for it, and the random hiccups or break downs when I need my phone to work 100% of the time.
I don't understand why this is happening. The phone is in like new condition. I could easily list and sell it as like new, because I've kept it in a case, never let it near water or dropped it. I subconsciously know to put my keys in the opposite pocket as my phone (very good habit to get into I must add). So I think I could get a lot for this phone on Amazon looking at the prices it's being sold $350 now (I paid $300 for it months ago, but it's discontinued, and people do still want this). I would list it for $325. My seller feedback is 100% with 9 other smartphones sold with feedback stating I sell my products exactly as described, so when I list, they usually sell within 24 hours.
I don't want to sell, but would A. Would it be smart since I can basically get my money back and upgrade without losing much (if any) money after fees? B.) Do you think there's a fix, or is my phone going bust? C.) With the phone being 3-4 months old, should I just get Motorola to replace it? I heard they give 64GB new replacements for the cloud whites for Amazon customers. Then I could sell that and actually buy a 6P for not much more, and have a 6 mos old phone as opposed to a 1.5 old model.
Thoughts?

). So I think I could get a lot for this phone on Amazon looking at the prices it's being sold $350 now (I paid $300 for it months ago, but it's discontinued, and people do still want this). I would list it for $325. My seller feedback is 100% with 9 other smartphones sold with feedback stating I sell my products exactly as described, so when I list, they usually sell within 24 hours.
Thoughts?

What does your seller feedback have to do with upgrading your phone, or whether it is defective?
Why does it matter that other phones sell within 24 hours? If your Samsung Galaxy S5 took 25 hours to sell, does that mean your Nexus 6 doesn't have an overheating problem?
I would recommend doing a factory reset to make sure that it isn't some malfunctioning apps that are causing this, before you send it in to Moto, or sell it for more than you paid (which is somehow relevant to the issue at hand).

We have no idea if your N6 is defective. That's up to you to decide and RMA with Motorola if you want. Motorola may send you a brand new or refurbished phone.

I'm just stating I could sell it if I had to and get what I paid for it, if buying a new phone is a better decision. Idk if this a common problem with the Nexus 6 or not. Everything is pretty much bone stock. I don't want Touchwiz or any bloated phone. I'd rather get another Nexus, but I am worried about the SD810. Is the SD810 in the 6P better than it is in the OP2 and LG phones? I prefer no bloatware. I'm very minimal with my apps.

What would cause it to start lagging and getting so hot that I have to turn it off for 15-20 minutes for doing nothing, but reading or taking calls. I keep the brightness almost all the way down 99% of the time to keep the phone from getting burn in too. I've done everything I can to baby this phone for the day I do decide to resell it, but I've never had a phone just start going crazy except when I had custom ROMs on it, but it's stock now. I've tried wiping cache. I still haven't done a FDR, but I did those for people when I worked in wireless in college, and that was always a last ditch effort that never really solved a problem like this.
Not trying to be funny or weird, but I don't watch porn or visit weird websites. It's always news, check Facebook on their webpage, and Google now. Gmail attachments from co-workers and family and friends. So I don't think I could have a virus. Can a chip or RAM just go bad one day?

It could be a wide variety of things. From apps (which clearly it isn't, given the provided information) to hardware. Whether it's a defective battery that's getting hot under very minimal loads or during charging, or whether it's a dying chip/something shorting out which is generating much more heat than it should. Download System Monitor Lite on Google Play and see what temperatures your CPU and battery are running on, and at what frequencies/loads it ramps up at. If the temps ramp up even when there's no CPU usage, then it's probably hardware and Motorola/Google (depending on the origin of device) will do their best to satisfy you within a week. If your CPU usage is constantly hitting high numbers you should probably factory reset your device.
Hope this gets you a step further, unlike other comments..

Thank you for the useful information. I'm going to check that out the next couple hours and if it seems to have odd frequency's, I'll go ahead and FDR it and give it another day. Then if it has the problem still, I'll go ahead and do a warranty claim. I just would hate to be without a phone for however long they will make me be without one, but it's getting pretty severe. Thanks again.

A few weeks ago my Google now app updated and my phone had severe battery drain and got warmer than usual (Google now was at around 25% in battery usage). So I decided to FDR and then install a nandroid backup I had and problem solved. So imho apps can cause the symptoms you describe.

Thread cleaned. Please keep your comments/replies wholly objective - and CORDIAL. Thanks.
