I bought a 1900 mAh battery from mobilfun.co.uk, appears as an official O2 battery but have had to send 3 back.
The first did not charge at all, either in the cradle or the phone.
The second charged fully in the craddle and lasted 2 hours before going dead. It would not recharge in the craddle or through the usb cable - battery not seen.
The third again seemed to charge OK in the cradle but when put on the phone it immediately caused a hard reset (internal battery at 100%).
The company has changed the battery each time but I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening. Is it a bad batch of batteries or the phone?
There were no instructions with the battery to indicate the need to charge the battery on the phone first instead of the cradle so I used the craddle.
Any adice gratefully appreciated.
Dear,
Can u send me the link? Maybe I can help....
Hi I had the same problem although the last one received is now working. The problem I had with the dud batteries was thta all the settings and data kepr being dumped!
To markspraggins:
so how many times u have changed? is there any problem with the usage time???
The first battery I had was fine. About a month later I bought a battery for another machine and that had to be changed twice. The present battery seems fine - although needs recharging daily

My XDA always shows a battery charge state of 100%. I think this is the reason, why it never start charging. I' ve just bought a new battery but it works the same way. If I remove the battery and charge it with a simple charger circuit, then XDA works for a normal period of time.
Can anybody help me? I realy love this PDA.
Could be the logic onboard the battery has a problem.
It can't be because I've just bought a new battery which does the same thing. Can it be the rsustack? I changed it but can't remember if it works badly since then.
Hi. For those who had the same kind of or similar problem with charging. Finally I made a charger that connects to the external battery connector. Now it works fine. The only thing is that I'm not notified when battery is low. Summary: Wallaby can be charged from the back connector.
One more thing. This solution is realy very very ugly, but it's very cheap and is working.
I bought an ebay battery--2400mah.
It seems to last me several days of nominal use, which is several days more than the stock battery.
However, the battery bar(the native one) doesn't reach 100%.
Is the battery defective?
It seems to last.
Or is there some type of software error in reading the battery's lifespan?
i also bought it from ebay for my xda IIi..and same as you 2400 mah.but for me, when i charge always showed the battery if fully charge is 100 percent. or as the lamp indicator turn it to green light so i think your battery something wrong.
hope this help
Okay,
Mine charged completely on the first day, but now it's not fully charging, but battery life seems to be fine.
I guess I'll just use this till it dies.
maybe u can try to soft-reset, if the problem still not fixed. I think you need to contact the seller for exchange.
I recently bought a Seidio Innocell 1400 battery for my G1. For some reason, the battery won't charge while it's in the phone.
If I take it out of the phone and charge it in my desk cradle, it works just fine and fully charges in a few hours. It will easily last twice as long as my worn out original OEM battery, as long as I don't connect the phone to a charger.
Here's the weird part. Not only can I not charge the battery while it's in the phone, but it actually drains significantly faster when I connect the charger. Without the charger connected, it will last me all day with moderate use. If the charger is connected when this battery is in the phone, it will drain the battery from a full charge to the point where the phone shuts off in a little more than an hour. I don't know how this is even possible.
My phone works and charges just fine with my OEM battery installed. I've tried several different chargers, which all work when I'm using the oem battery and had the same results, so I know the charger isn't the problem. I had the same problem with the Andida batteries a while back, but figured they were just defective when I saw that everyone else was having problems with them too. Does anyone have any ideas, or did I just get another defective battery?
I have an "Andida" from ebay that does this. I got a partial refund from the seller. I think the overcharge protection circuit is flaky when this happens. Try to get a refund or replacement from the seller.
Anybody had this problem?
I've had my GS2 for nearly 3 months and all has been well. Coming from a Motorola XT720, EVERYTHING is better including the battery life.
Last week I noticed that when connecting the charger, it took a long time for the phone to register that it was connected, ie. it didn't beep, light up and show the charging icon. It was also slow to recognize that the charger had been disconnected. (The charging icon would stay on for some time after.)
I thought a re-boot would help and it threw up the big battery charging icon flashing alternately with the battery over heating icon! Even pulling the battery wouldn't stop the warning message unless it was removed for at least a couple of hours or re-booting via Home, Vol+ and Power.
Whilst all of this was happening, battery life plummeted. I normally get about 1-3% loss of battery per hour in standby but this increased to 5-10% per hour.
The phone has somehow regained its normal response to the charger being connected and disconnected but the poor battery life remains.
Its un-locked, un-rooted and running KF3:KE7:KD1
Any ideas before I do a complete reset?
I would get a new battery to start with, if you UK, 7dayshop.com have an 1800mah for only. £4.49 delivered.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I've just bought an Andida "2000"mAh battery from Mobilefun. It's only had a couple charging cycles but it's behaving exactly the same as the original battery, which confuses things!
It could be that the problem is effecting it our it's just not working at it's full potential yet.

Even the biggest best know battery manufactures cannot make a 2000mah battery to fit the S2 without needing a replacement back cover, the new Samsung 2000mah needs one.
So the Andida "2000"mAh battery , is more likely to be around 1500-1800mah
Yep, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Will probably return it and wait for the
official Samsung 2000 mAh.
Would still like to know what's going on with the sudden loss of battery life.

Since you have tried a second battery and the phone is acting the same way the fault must be with the phone, the charging socket is not loose or something?
Or maybe the phone charger is faulty, do you have a second to try?
It looks like you should try a reset before you seek refund/replacement.
Hello guys... I'm having a major problem with my battery not taking a charge or just being stubborn.
I used multiple chargers and the phone refuses to charge. It discharges even though it says it's charging and it mounts via USB with no issues and data transfer is faster than ever. I have the OEM stock and the Laza extended battery but the Laza takes much too long and the stock battery won't come back at all because the charger kills it...
This started when I left my extended battery on the charger overnight and it was at maybe 30%. I woke up and it was dead; it wasn't responding to anything unless I pulled the battery and it gave me the blinking orange LED. Any ideas?
*phone was dropped once but a WHILE ago
did nothing special and it was charging great 3 days ago
charging while powered down actually kills the battery FASTER
I'd appreciate any help.
Have the same issue. I believe my USB port is coming loose from the board and needs repair or replacement. I tried physically bending bits of the port with the battery removed to mixed success short-term, but now I have trouble just getting data to connect over the cable. Could try to work around the issue by buying a couple of wall chargers for just the battery pack, then circulate between two or three batteries through the day. Used Battery Monitor Widget app to see my device can eat 500 to 1,000 mA an hour, so I got two 500 mAh chargers and spare batteries to keep pace with max drain rate.
Okay, thanks for the recommendation! My Droid MAXX has arrived but my battery is actually doing pretty well right now. It decided to charge overnight but still no luck with the stock. But I still want to use this phone to test ROMs, and it's difficult to do so with the discharged battery. Anyways thanks a lot, I will look into this. Or maybe I could buy another Rezound for cheap or a Thunderbolt (if it works).
