I have 6gb ram 128 gb version and a friend of mine have the same version too but he bought it from illegal ways so it's unregistered and I bought mine from Amazon. Problem is he has more battery time than mine, I guess his rom is different but I couldn't find what his phone have. He plays games etc and I don't play games and don't use it at home so much but still he has more battery time. Any recommendations? (I only use the original adapter but one time I used a different one which charged slow, and I felt like my battery time increased for that charge. Does it have any effect on it?)
I dont think so, it might be that that your friend's device has been extremely debloated, it aldo depends on what he has running in background and which stuff syncronizes, you see, tjere are a ton of factors as to why someone gets better or worse life battery times

hi all,
I've just bought a 2nd-hand XDA iis and is battery is not so good.
So I intend to buy a new one.
But I'm wondering which bat is the best now.
I've gone to ebay and see that they have some types: original 1500 mAh, 2400mAh, "slim" 3200 mAh and "fat" 3600mAh.
I think the 3600mAh is the most suited for my xda.
Is there any better choice? Where could I buy it?
With the 3600mAh, how long would the xda would last if I use wifi IE with the lowest backlight?
Do any of you have any problems with it?
Could I use my old charger or Do I have to buy a bigger one?
Could I still use my usb-cable (not cradle) for charging my xda?
And is there any conflict with WM5? (I've just read in our forum that someone have problems with WM6).
Thank all of you so much.

I would say that primarly it would depend on if a 'fatter' and heavier phone bothers you.
Keep in mind that just about all the cases and various accessories that hold or clip on to the phone are designed for a phone that has the original battery, so a thicker battery may well make them unusable (cases are the primary example I would give).
How long it would last is impossible to say, as it depends on how you use the phone, what apps are on the phone, and so on. Also, 3rd party battery quality does vary. Which manufacture is the best, I can't say as I've never seen any place that reviews battery life.
I've never heard of any incompatibilities when talking about a particular version of win mobile and a certain capacity battery, and can't imagine that it's even possible.
Pick one and see what you get, then post the results here so the every one else can benefit from your experience.

At last, I've bought a fat 3600 battery and I think it's a good decision.
Now, I can use my fone for browse Internet in near 6 hour with wifi; or I could use it with 5 day stanby (how amazing).
some small problems are:
- the fone is thicker and heavier (no problem with me).
- My third party charger is a bit hotter.
- And the charging time is longer (ofcourse).
do not by batteries by ACME power. I have bought 2400mAh and feel no difference compare to standard old battery. Besides, I have troubles with bt. it turns off by its self with only this battery.
I bought a battery for my Htc Harrier about 4-5 months ago. Sorry i dont know the brand of it but its says its 3200mah and "replacement for XDAIII". The inside of the battery is kind of bloated out from the heat and looks a little dodgy but still works. Ive had a few problems with it where it powers off for no reason. When i turn it on again the battery charge looks fine.
Just a couple of days ago for the first time my phone just completely hard resetted and lost all my data. I again turned it on and the battery charge was fine. im blaming that on my battery.
I use my phone mainly for listening to music on my bluetooth headphones while im driving to school and for typing things out on my bluetooth keyboard at school. The standared battery that comes with the phone simply has not enough charge time to do all this.
With all its annoying problems i still use my battery. I just make sure i back up my most important things on my storage card. And charge it every night.
Soon im going to buy a HTC Blue Angel due to my countrys crappy plans that the Harrier comes with. Maybe i might buy the 3600mah while im at it.
So my advice is if you dont need the charge of a extended battery then stay away. Unless you are like me and need the extra battery power then beware of some stress ahead that it might give you.
Very **** it would seem. I only used tomtom for about 15 or 20 minutes today and played a couple of vids for a minute or two. Nothing else I can think of and no phone calls made. The fully charged battery this morning was giving me low battery status by the afternoon. Wtf? This is the 900 mAh one that came with it.
I last a full day with frequent internet/video/game use. maybe 2.5 hours of that stuff, 1 hour of text messaging, 1 hour of phone calls, 30 minutes of just dicking around, and the rest of the time with it in on in my pocket.
there's a bigger battery available - the model is "BP E270"
well with stock battery i was able to watch 2hour film...than battery was at 10% from fully charged..so battery is disaster....
if you would convert video for hardware accelration - it would not use 90% of battery, only 40% )
if you use a different ROM, some are more efficient with battery life.
also, there are third party batteries as big as 1800 mAh. be warned that this is just the manufacturer's claim and they're usually made in China. I think a site called dealextreme has it for the cheapest but there's a ton of different versions on the net. most bigger batteries come with a bigger back plate to accommodate the extra size. most do not have the "diamond" detailing.
I've got the 1800mAh Cameron Sino and it works brilliantly. I can leave the Wifi on all day, make calls, browse the internet without too much worry of the battery giving out half way through the day. With the origonal battery (900mAh) I practically gave up on the phone and used a Nokia E51 instead. The only downside to the new back cover is as tacky as hell and you need to put some tin foil over the GPS Antenna for it to work.
However, I can actually use the phone now on a day to day basis. Oh and the phone stands on its side now due to the extra thickness so I can watch TV progs etc without holding it.
I might try for a more powerful battery but not one of those oversized ones with bigger backplate. And I'm not sure I'm ready to risk a different rom, I'd frankly be bricking 'bricking' it.
What amazes me is, why did htc supply such a weak 900mAh battery in a phone which undoubtedly requires MUCH more power than say, my artemis, and that came with a 1200mAh battery. Doesn't make sense.

i am converting films for hw acceleration,i use mp4 for hd to convert them and than i use htc album to wact movie....and battery is disaster
also i am using nuedynamicclock but it only helps at night(it should help also when ppc is on cause i reduced voltage for 528MHz(from 1.35v to 1.1v),and i am using rom that is tweaked for minimal battery usage...it helps a little bit but not enough
900mAh is way to low for this device...
also if i want to buy new battery i need also new backplate so my diamond will be fatter???
Hello,
I know people have talked again and again about this problem. But I have to ask again because until now I did not found any solution. I have a N7000 and a 7000mah battery (I had in the past a 5000mah battery). My mobile phone looks like a old TV but guess what, the battery holds maximum one day! I have had the problem with all my mobiles in the past (HTC HD2, HTC sensation). I have tried to find the problem by using betterbatterystate with no success. I always turn off bluetooth, GPS and so on. I have installed juice defender ultimate for a long time on my mobile, it makes everything worst. I have really tried too many things, but they all did not help. Is there something that I am missing??? Or is it android?? Is iphone better than that? I am a heavy user but maximum one day with 7000mah?? With the original battery I have to laugh when I look at my battery consumption.
Please give me some new tips. Something that really works. What is wrong with me????
It depends on how you use it....
Most smartphone should have no problem with 48+hrs "standby time"
But in most cases, the only thing that consume the most energy is the display.
I always keep it at the lowest. (only turn on auto while using under sunlight)
I turn off gps, mobile data, wifi. (only turn them on when I need them)
I get around 5 hours (max) with the stock battery. (Screen on time)
But if you are gaming, well you will be lucky if you even get 3 hours.
For games, its depends on how its being code. I have 2D games (Kairosoft games eg. Game Dev Story) which has a greater impact on battery life than a 3D game.
*There are a lot of fake batteries out there, falsely labelling their battery with higher mah. Good battery usually cost $50+.
a 7000mAh should be around $80 (exclude shipping)
Also, a 7000 mAh battery would be three times the size of the original. I honestly believe that the announced 7000 mAh batteries are no where near their announced capacity.
My suggestion would be to buy an original samsung battery. That is what I did and the battery lasts for a day, or for 6-8 hrs with heavy usage.

I dont play any games with the phone. I use it mostly to call or chat or browse. Regarding the fake battery you are may be right. It costs only about 15 $. I have switched back to the original battery but still, it does not look good. I still dont know what is wrong with my n7000

I have checked the healthy of the original battery with some apps and they show all "good healthy". Should I still buy another one? How long is the life time of the original battery?

never trust an app to tell you how your battery are doing.
I would recommend you to buy an original Samsung battery. They have a life span of several years, but should be changed after one year as the capacity deteriorates.

buy a new battery, your battery maybe dying
make sure you get the real thing though.
Do some digging before making any purchase.
I found this battery here :
http://www.mbuynow.com/2500mah-rechargeable-battery-for-lg-optimus-4x-hd-p880-p-747.html
It is cheap and comes from the UK (maybe was build in China ?).
It should be 2500 mah with no extra space needed.
I'd like to know if someone bought it and if it's a good product.
I'm looking for a new battery for my phone without changing the back cover and I'd like that is reliable and does't create problems to my phone.
Should you buy it ?
Do you know some alternatives ?
mbuynow
I bought it about 1 month ago. Battery life is a little better than with original battery for me. It fits into the phone without problems.
so do you thing that is a good replacement for the original battery ?
no problems ? (like high temperature or other strange things).
I ask you so 'cause I paid my phone 410 euros and of O have to save only 10 euros but damaging my phone,i'll buy another original battery.

For me the best i had so far, and i have tried 3 different batterys. No problems, just loading seems to take longer, but it has to for longer battery life.
I didn't stop any times but if i should take a guess i think i have +2 hours on average use over the day compared to the original battery.
bentiger91 did you try also Akku Polar Cell? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431384&page=2)
If yes, which one is better in you opinion.
Hi guys.
I bought this battery few weeks ago and it was working just fine until yesterday. Suddenly I wasn't able to boot up the phone. It boots up, shows Enter pin screen and then starts to shutdown imidiatelly. At first I thought it was a problem with software, but it turned out the issue went away when I replaced the battery for stock.
Anybody else seen this before? It seems the phone refuses non-original battery.
Today my Moto e5 plus has arrived. I purchased this device mainly for its big battery. I am very basic user, rarely do I play game (or have them installed on my device). Maybe the most usage intensive tasks for my phones are occasional chatting when travelling.
Now I do own another phone. My previous device still works just fine (Moto X play), I was thinking of keeping this e5 around as backup (inactive in its box).
I have a question about how to maintain battery health over long periods of time on standby. Phone turned off.
Is there a decay rate? Do all things break up over time? (am I being foolish?)
I am a newbie at the physics/reality of batteries. Is a "backup" phone even a tactic worth pursuing? Or just buy another phone when your current one starts to give signs its end is near?
Thanks for your time reading this.
The general rule for a lithium battery is to charge the battery half way if you're going to store it for a while.
It will lose a bit of charge over time even being off. But it is very slow.
So I'd check the charge level on it every 6 months and try and keep it at about half.
Whether to have a backup phone is really up to you.
Phones are very readily available here in the states, so having one sit in a box doesn't make much sense for me.
But I don't know the situation for you in Italy.

Thanks for you reply Will. Good tips I could follow.
Do you know how lithium batteries fair off over long periods of inactivity? If they lose capacity as they age?
Based on this, it looks like they lose 2-4% in the first year.
I've had the Boost Moto E5 Plus with a 5000 mAh battery since August. I never took much note other than my average end-of-the-day battery being anywhere between 60-70% with mostly checking and sending email, occasional web browsing, light gaming, Waze showing maps and YouTube vanced playing through bluetooth while driving. It's a great phone! I have the bootloader unlocked, rooted with Magisk, installed Xposed, and Gravitybox and I removed apps I didn't need.
