My phone charges so slow and dies pretty fast too. Is there any extended batteries that will work with the ATT version.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
When you say it dies fast, how fast and how much display on time do you get?
I'm getting around 5 hours screen on time, but only 10 hours between charging. But the 5 hours screen on is allot, it means I'm playing with my new phone allot and when I settle down after a few days I should be getting real good battery life

Yea that is not so good. But I would wait a few recharge cycles before getting too concerned.
Just as a side note I am running codeworkx cwm kernel, stock ROM, rooted and debloated.
Are you still stock or have you flashed anything?

Isn't charging slow a norm for Samsung phones? At least that's what I've heard.

Yes, they do that because Samsung feels although it pro longs your battery long term life. My infuse is the same way.
I too am a little worried about the battery life. I unplugged my phone at 5:47 this morning. By 7:15 I was down to 87%. Granted I did read a book on my phone for 13 minutes this morning but still a little dissapointed with the battery life so far. I have had my phone plugged in for 12 minutes and it has gone from 87% to 89%.
I have also experienced the slow charging. It seems to go faster if I am plugged in to the wall as opposed to the USB on my computer though.
i havent tested throughly, but i think it seems to go faster plugged into a wall outlet also.
i wonder if USB is a trickle charge, while wall wart would be a full charge..
is there anyway to see the charge stats from inside the phone? like see how much juice is being shoved back into the battery while charging different methods? an app or maybe some shell command?
If you want your new SGS2 to charge quickly when plugged into your computer, get one of these:
http://mobile.brando.com/brando-workshop-usb-to-micro-usb-cable_p04980c0704d003.html
Has a switch that will put your phone into fast charge mode, which will charge your new phone at the same speed as using a wall charger.
just curious - isn't slower charging better for the battery, anyway?

Yes. The slower you charge the battery, the less capacity it loses per charge cycle.
However the Infuse has a charging flaw in which CPU and screen power usage count against charge current limit, so if the phone is in use it'll charge MUCH slower. I never got any good data from Captivate/I9000 owners on whether this applied to their devices too. Anecdotal evidence is that the Infuse charged much more slowly than these for whatever reason.

By design. USB ports can only deliver 500 mA, so Samsung limits charge current to 475 on USB. Wall charger on the Infuse was 600 mA stock and I had mods in my Infuse kernel series that would bump that to 800 when the battery was below 4.0 volts, not sure about our device, haven't had enough time to read through the battery drivers yet.
Due to the issue I mention above where CPU/screen/etc current usage counts against the current limit, the difference between 475 and 600 was a lot more than 22% or so in terms of current into the battery.
Are the extended batteries popping out the bump at the back of handset. IF that is the case the whole slim sleek looks of SG2 is lost.

Do you want a slim phone or lots of battery time? While we'd like to have both, it's impossible to do with the current battery technology. Personally, I wouldn't mind giving up a little bit of slimness for 4-500 mA more.
I'm not having the problems others seem to be having with the battery. Mine seems to be better than average and is a LOT better than my Cappy ever was.

USB ports in computers draw far less power than what a wall charger would get.
As Entropy said, trickle charge by design.
Getting 2 hours of screen time isn't good, though. It's possibly a faulty battery.. I'd give it a week of normal charge/discharge cycles to see if it works better or not.
FWIW - My heavily modded Cappy got no more than 4 hours of moderate to heavy use on a charge, making me a user of multiple batteries. My totally stock SGS2 lasts from 5:30 am until at least 10:00 pm with the same usage. I don't know why. The Cappy was not OC/UV, just rooted and running a variety of ROMs, but even when stock the battery wasn't good.
Also, the trickle charge from a usb port will take a lot longer (at least 2x) to recharge the phone than any wall charger or car charger. I had chargers all over my house for the Cappy (still do, just don't need them now) so I always had one close by. They're cheap, and beat being frustrated by not having enough power to read a good book or watch cute cats.
I hear slow charge is better too so i bought a cheap motorola wall charger a while back thats output is 550ma compared to the sgs2's charger 700ma. It works great with this phone.
If you are getting horrible battery life try either freezing media hub, factory reset or flashing cognition after i did this i dont have a problem anymore. I dont know which one fixed it but one of em did.

Is that the phone will not charge or it reboots the phone as soon as you plug it in? Please explain yourself a little better. And were you using a USB A (Charge only) or B (Data) cable? Data cables have a tendency to want to connect to the PC (for USB Debugging Mode/Transferring files) even hanging while rebooting the phone so they can allow you to get into download mode if needed. I have had this similar issue when Titanium Backup completed my evening backup and its plugged in that it stayed at the charging screen (The screen when the phone is powered off) and just charges as it is supposed to. Changed to a USB A cable and the issue has since been resolved.
The US versions of the SGS II have a different battery, mainly because of the inclusion of NFC, some of which the components are stored in our batteries. Unfortunately the international version (save for a newer Korean version) are not NFC capable, and thus use a slightly different battery architecture.
Now some folks have had varying success with international version batteries or 3rd party ones, but others have had lots of issues with rebooting, not charging with USB, etc.
If you really want to be safe and not mess with fire, stick with the OEM battery for ATT version. Until a certified or verified NFC-compatible ATT battery is released, you could be asking for trouble in the long run.
(I believe a user did try the Korean NFC-compatible extended battery, but the problem was that the new door was not compatible with the ATT version, so it was only half a solution).
Anyone know of a good site to buy the OEM battery since any replacement is terrible so far?

Problem with non OEM Battery. Be aware or non OEM battery. Thanks to all here
Hello,
Thanks for all of you posting. I got a 1800 mAh battery labeled replacement for "i9100" of ebay. Admittedly it was cheap. I came with a charger cradle.
I am experiencing what some call the "reboot" problem. What actually happens is that the phone shuts down when you try to charge it. No matter if you put into an cradle, directly onto USB charger or on a computer USB port.
It shuts down and charging starts.
Very inconvinient because what happened to me was that I was out and about, had only that battery in (but not another cradle charger with me) and when I plug in to charge you basically have a turned off phone and can't use it or receive calls.
I can't feel the chip under the label and I believe that is the cause. It was only $ 10.00, so no big deal. You CAN use the battery. But you need to charge it in a separate cradle charger or live with the phone turned off while charging. So I bought an OEM battery as my spare.
Hi all,
Anyone tried CellShell battery for Samsung Galaxy S2 before?
If I buy from Hong Kong via eBay, it's relatively expensive (HKD 200 from ebay), but it claims that with it's 1800mAH battery, it's life is really proportionally longer and then it is still the same size as the standard battery.
Anyone can share any experience?
Thanks.
Rgds., Fan.
This battery apparently works in i777,
even when charging with the USB cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XOHQ6Y
This is the first non-OEM replacement battery that doesn't cause the boot-loop. It's also less than 1/2 the price of the stock battery. I just ordered one.
Some other reviews of this battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346879
No one tried the "Cellshell" battery for Galaxy S2? I'm wishing if it really lasts 10% longer than the original Samsung battery. Any reviews anyone knows of?
Anybody find a fix to that looping problem? It happens with both of my non-OEM batteries (I get like 2 hours of battery life with those, max). Something is wrong with my setup because I have to use 3 batteries a day.
I am starting to think the cradle charging is messing things up.
Replacement, not enhancement
I've read through this forum a few times and I don't think anyone has posted a link to the I777 oem battery. The ones on amazon have terrible reviews. Supposedly, they come without NFC or have different model numbers completely. Does anyone know where I can order a replacement battery that is just like the one that came with my phone?

That's not a real Amaze Battery... look at the posting info, it's only 3.7V. the Amaze comes with a 3.8V battery. Just use your old Anker sensation battery. it's the same thing.
I would really like to know if its worth getting since the stock battery is anorexic... and how would 3.7 volts affect the phone. Can it break it?
The phone will be undervolted which isn't bad seeing as how many kernels offer undervoltage

Hello, I have a quick question about the battery for the HTC Amaze 4G.
The OEM battery from HTC is listed as 3.8 volts, but your battery is listed as 3.7. Is there a reason why your battery has a lower voltage?
Could this affect the operation of my phone?

Thank you for contacting us.
I just heard back from our tech team that there is no actual performance difference between 3.7v and 3.8 v and it will not affect the performance of the battery.
Please do not worry about it.
Please let us know if there is anything else we may help. Any time you need us, we are always here.

I don't have a problem with that response. Since all of the components in the phone run at either 3.3v or 1.7v, that .1 of volt should have no affect on the operation of the phone.
If for some reason it does, just return it. They are reputable and have been selling for awhile.
It's not like they are selling these out of the back of a van.
Off Anker topic... But if it's a 3.8v 1730mAH battery, then it's the exact same as the Evo 3D isn't it?
Anker battery
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M19IZU
I bought the anker battery and charger from Amazon and in all honesty the battery seems to work much better than the OEM one provided by HTC. 1800mAh and seems to provide a good backup battery. The external charger is a neat touch since one does not have to charge the batteries through the one all the time.
I just purchased two Anker batteries with a charger combo for $12.
Here's the link:
http://amzn.com/B005M19IZU
At first I thought that it sounded too good to be true but for $12 it's worth the risk.
It arrived today and at first glance I had a bit of buyers remorse because the charger didn't have any instructions and the charging pins seemed to move around too freely. It just felt cheap overall. The two batteries that it came with say that they are for the EVO 3D 4G as 3.7v and 1800mAh. Yet I let the batteries charge and I daringly put it in my phone. Voila! Powered right up and works just as well as the OEM battery. I haven't drained it yet so I have no idea on how long the battery will last. My expectations? 180 mAh 3.7v battery vs the 1730mAh 3.8v OEM battery... I'm not expecting too much difference to be honest. I'll keep you all posted with an edit in say about 48 hours.
A premature opinion if you ask for it... is it a viable solution for a primary battery? I wouldn't think so.
Is it a viable solution as a backup since we can't charge via 5.0.2.6 recovery? You're damn right!
Another note:
Not sure if it's related to the battery or not but I've had two random reboots with this battery installed. So... perhaps if someone else has experienced something similiar there just might be an issue there. Time will tell.
I bought from mugen the evo3D 1950mah I'm on my second cycle so far not impressed so far at all. The difference between the stock battery and this one is only 200 mah but it almost seems like the 3D battery drains faster

Damn!!!! I bought for 17 two weeks ago!!!!
Just got my Amaze last night. I put my Anker battery that I bought 2 weeks ago for my sensation in it. Unplugged the phone at 9:45 AM, and when I got home at around 8:00 i had something like 15-20% charge remaining. That was after using my phone through out the day to place a few phone calls, constantly checking texts and facebook, and also doing some ebay browsing looking for accessories for it. Must say, I LOVE my Anker battery.
Solid opinions?
I'm planning on buying one (1900mAh). I heard that initial it appears to lose it charge then slows down but still offering good battery life. However I'm a bit unsure.
By how much more hours will this thing pack compare to stock?
Also I hope (and it probably will) increase battery life once we see Cyanogenmod and better kernels. First we have to get through S-Off.
I got the 1950 today is my third cycle, in my previous post it was my second and I said it was terrible, after the 3rd cycle I've seen a big improvement. 12 hours and 12 mins off charger. I started at 100 percent. Right as I went into work. For 8 and 1/2 hours I had airplane mode on, being that WiFi calling doesn't work, had WiFi turned on, and listened to Pandora the whole time.

Just bought this battery for mine. It does not seem to get a full charge. Charging on device only get up to 94 % or so. Any one else have that problem?
edit: meant to reply to Binary. I've got this same battery kit: http://amzn.com/B005M19IZU
I've had this same kit for a few weeks. I have the same complaints about the charger pins but whatever, your hands will learn how to do it quickly after a couple times. Now I just rotate the batteries about every day and a half. On the first few charges I was barely getting more than the stock battery. After a few times of fully charging and fully draining I get about 25hrs of normal use. Last weekend I got 36 hours before the battery finally died.
My usage patterns:
1+ hr internet radio morning commute.
Mail, Facebook, weather, syncing all day.
Random web
random games
1+ hr internet radio evening commute.
not plugged in all night, sometimes I leave sync on, sometimes I turn it off.
1+ hr internet radio for morning commute
change battery some time between getting to work and lunch.
Worth it IMO.

I bought the single 1900mAh and I can charge to 100% through the phone, it does however discharge down quickly initially. Its slows down after 80 - 90% so the overall life is still good. This is its second charge so I'm still waiting to see if I get a boost.
are you charging yours in the phone or the anker charger? Seems with indicator being off been tryib to charge in the phone myself.
What is thr best most accurate way of charging for life and indicator to be right?

In my usage I get 7 hours out of the stock battery and 5 hours from the Anker. That puts the stock at about 1259 mA.

After charging the battery to full my HTC EVO 3D always shallow cycles it until unplugged from the charger. In Battery Monitor Widget I can see the battery alternating between discharging to 95% and charging back up to 100%. This is done to prevent overcharging and to extend long term battery life.
My new EVO 4G LTE on the other hand simply stays at full charge after reaching 100% and until unplugged. I can't see any cycling in BMW. Any idea why the change in behavior and wouldn't it negatively affect battery health? Meanwhile, I'm going to make it a habit to unplug the phone after charging and not leave it plugged in overnight.
The evo 3d stayed awake when plugged in. The evo lte is asleep when plugged in causing no discharge meaning no need to cycle up and down

That does not make much sense. If EVO LTE draws less current than EVO 3D when plugged in, then overcharging is even a bigger problem. I don't think your observation is correct though: CPU Spy shows both at around 95% in deep sleep CPU state after a night on the charger.
One of the biggest battery complaints of the 3D was the fact that it wouldn't charge to 100% and now your complaining when HTC got it right for a change. These aren't nicad batteries and there is no need for what your describing. Welcome to 2012 and the technology that we have now.

I certainly wasn't complaining about EVO 3D starting the day at 95% battery if that meant extending its useful lifespan. Li-ion is indeed quite different from Ni-Cd, however they do age and lose capacity 2x-4x more rapidly when charged fully and not allowed to discharge, especially at higher temperatures. Lifehacker has a decent guide.

Anybody who knew what they were talking about wouldn't complain about the battery charging on the 3D. HTC DID get it right. You don't want to fully charge or over charge these batteries because it's bad for them in terms of overall life.
And with a phone that has a built in battery, the concern would be quite valid, as replacing the battery if it were to become damaged would be troublesome.
Aren't these batteries Li-Po, not Li-ion? I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not though.

The battery chemistry is quite similar between the two, so unless proven otherwise I would still be concerned. Also, has it actually been definitively shown that the EVO LTE battery is lithium-ion polymer?

I have to agree with you 100% (No offense to the OP) but i happen to love this. Just like u stated, with the 3D i would wake up, and leave the house and the battery would be drawn 3-4% so it wouldnt over charge. Im leaving for a BBQ in 2hrs, and my phone has been at 100% for over 2hrs now. Good to know i can leave it in and not have to worry about over charging it, or even losing some of that charge by leaving it plugged in. Very cool

EDIT...Ohh i see it.....I see where it s says Polymer there. THen what the hell is the diference from a normal li-ion?
EDIT 2.....Well it truns out there is a bit of a difference from a normal Li-ion. Thats my bad. i had no idea there was 2 different varitations. Ok i admit it "I was wrong"
on WiKi it states that the difference has to wiht cost, size and packaging and such. its built completely different on the inside
Not too much difference between them really, for the most part I think the two terms are interchangeable.
With the 3D and og 4G the phone would stop drawing power when it was full and then use the battery again, with this one I'm guessing they just bypass the battery altogether once it's full. Again, that's just a guess though since we still don't have kernel source to check.

Close, but not interchangeable. Regular Li-ion batteries have a liquid electrolyte, polymer Li-ion ones have a polymer-based electrolyte.
I guess we do have to wait for the kernel source to figure out what's happening. If the battery is bypassed, overcharge is not an issue, but sitting at 100% without discharge is still not ideal for long term longevity.
Lol lithium ion POLYMER
I wouldn't put to much stock in what the battery monitor says anyway. They could just have it programmed to display 100% while it's plugged in even if it's in the slow discharge state.

That is indeed possible, but that would be a first. BMW retrieves current drain reported by the kernel, not just percent charge.
I used SBC kernals on and off on the og evo's stock battery, and that battery was still good when I got rid of that phone. I wouldn't worry about it.

It does not keep me up at night. However, there's no reason for HTC to start doing things sub-optimally on EVO LTE after they got it right on EVO 3D.
It could just be charging the battery at the same rate that it is discharging, and at a certain time interval it could decrease that charge so that the battery drains a little...and then it repeats that and once it hits that interval again it could just bump up the charge and repeat. That way, the battery would stay at "100%" because that's determined by the voltage and not the percentage.
Is this normal? I know that people are saying charging on the One is slow but 8+ hours from fully dead is ridiculous. Is anyone else's One taking this log to charge or should I swap mine out for a new one?
Are you using the OEM charger or at least another 1A+ charger?
However if you're talking about your meter not hitting 100 but is sitting at 95-98%, then I refer you to this excellent article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/

It actually took over 8 hours to make it to 90%. And I have not tried to charge with the battery off. Do many people do that?

Then get a 2/3 amp wall plug. You have a much bigger battery and a phone that uses more power than normal. The 1amp output just isn't enough.
HTC really should have provided us with a better plug but from what I read they believe that the best way to extend the overall life of the battery was to have it charge slowly.
In reality I won't have this phone for more than 2 years so I don't really care about that.

I don't think you're getting this at all. This is NOT normal. Other people have the same plug and are charging their phones in less than 4 hours. This is still going on past 9 hours now. If the gs4 can charge a bigger battery with the same 1.2A, then this should work right?
Maybe I'm not getting it because my phone charged just as slow on the normal plug also. But as soon as I got that kernel it seems to charge faster even on the normal plug.. And it so much faster on USB 3.0 plug.

I'm having a hard time believing that HTC would design a phone that takes 9 hours to charge. I don't have usb 3.0 or want to use custom kernel. It also didn't happen when i got the phone first. So this is a bit strange to me.
OP, you may have to return as defective.

How long does it take you to charge your phone from 0% to full? I finally reached 100% at 11:20 last night. Charging my phone from 97%-100% takes 2 hours. Should I take it back as defective? It's only my third day and I have warranty either way. It'll just take some gas to get there. Lol.
Looks like you have a defective battery. I say bring it back but first call and see if they have any in stock.

So how long has the phone been plugged in now since this thread started? Still at 99%? Have you tried letting it drain until it turns off on it's own and then charge fully?

Actually I took my phone back to best buy today at around 4:00 pm pacific and got it replaced. Not sure if I'm seeing a increase in battery life. I think I got it at 57% charge and not it's at 12%(it's 9:16 pm right now). Should I charge it to 100% when it dies or can I charge it up a bit for the time being and then let it die and charge to 100% later when I get home?

Doesn't matter.. to each is own really. Charge to 100% now, then when it gets low enough say 2%, charge to full.. then you can charge as you please, just try not to let it do a complete cycle too often (0-100%).
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't mean to bump this post back to the top but if anyone has this problem in the future and finds this post, my first HTC One was in fact faulty. Since I've gotten it replaced with another One it's taken my phone about 3 hours to charge from 0-100%(I've done that once. I think it took 3 hours and 20 minutes). Today my battery lasted from 8:05 AM to 9:15ish pm. Charged it from 0-99% in a little under 3 hours after it died. Loving my One even more!
I thought with the last few eu updates the battery was draining quicker and blamed the Rom for it.
In the beginning when i used the phone I had a SOT average of 6 hours which is fine.
But now I barely get 4.30 hours.....
I use accubattery and saw the capacity decreasing. Lots of people says accubattery is nonsense app. But as you can see it's damn accurate.
I used a usb charge tool and drained the battery once till 0 and let it charge with a 1A charger. The outcome was rather shocking to me....
My battery after 4 months is just 2.699mah!!
A decrease percentage of 20%
I will look if it falls under warranty.
If you have a usb tester please post your results and for how long you have it.

Wow, that sounds bad, a hardware issue. I would use the warranty if possible
I don't use quickcharge (since the phone is heating up way too much) + I use battery charge limit in order to release additional stress on the battery.
Maybe it helps, I will report back whether or not I have the same issue in x months. Cheers!
How long and often did you charge the phone to? Which charger did you use?

Most of the charges were around 20% and 80% but also full battery. And once a day.
I charged most of the time with the 27Watt quickcharger. I guess that's the issue.... Or just a bad battery.
This is really concerning for me. I just ordered my global version and waiting for order confirmation. My main reluctancy in getting this phone is battery life. I am currently using the OnePlus 6t and can average 5-6 hours of SOT. And I need this type of usage for work. This has me thinking if I should cancel or just hope for the best. My only other option at this price point would be the standard op 7.

Wow another backhanded plug for One Plus in an XDA thread for a non One Plus phone. It might seem innocent if I hadn't seen so many posts like this in so many XDA threads for various Xiaomi and Huawei devices. This comment literally serves no purpose whatsoever except as a plug for One Plus phones.

I understand your concern.....
Please bear in mind that in our Telegram group most MI9 owners does not have the issue after four months. And are rated between the original battery capacity.
My only advice now don't use 27w charger only when needed.... Because device gets quite hot when charging.
Overall I still love the device.
Just imagine when the 100 watt charger is released.

I dont have any battery problems with my 2 months old mi 9, my battery is day and half in full use of phone and i can say that battery is very good on this phone, i cant believe how much negative complains about battery life in every forum.
My mi 9 is Global version with 64gb and i use quick charger and i have one sim card in use, always on display is turned off, fingerprint icon flashing on locked screen is off that is all.
Try XiaomiADB to uninstall all xiaomi apps and apps you dont use at all and and use Youtube Vanced much better than stock app, i dont have xiaomi acount and i think that all apps from them are draining battery.
hi, here's my experience.
My mi9 it's 1 week old, never passed 4h30min of screen time.
No facebook active, only instagram and whatsapp. Gps always on, black theme.
Rom stock 10.2.26.0
Mine in less than 2 months is slightly < 3000 mAh. I've stressed the phone with some bad charging cycles, but with regular 10watts and 18 watts chargers. I will track it in the following cycles to see how it goes. As of me, this degradation shouldn't happen this soon.
To be honest my one seems to get worse from day to day too - I can make it barely through one day now - sometimes I have to charge it two times a day.
I'm wireless charging for the last 3 months on the 27w pad every night. Phone has great battery life and on average use I have about 20-30% left at the end of the day
Same for me, my phone is 3 months old and the battery healt is around 88% for accubattery, I tryed a manual benchmark and the result doesn't change, from 1% to 100% it drains around 3000 mah, in an other forum a guy have the same issue, the battery life is normal, from 80% to 35% from 7am to 19 pm always in 4g plus, whatsapp, some web search, mail and some music, some photo, video, some app download and 30/45 min calls, always using 18w stock charger, getting always around a 3h SOT.
I'm afraid not much better for me either... new device. Only a week old. I left it on stock rom (forced to wait a week to root it anyway...) and I was getting from 100% to 30% during my normal day with fairly light use. My last phone, a Mate 20 Pro, was doing the same with 75% battery left.
Safe to say, you need to take chargers around with you if you want to use it heavily!!

I only used 25% battery today as that was from 9am to 9pm so.... Is so weird you guys are getting such bad battery life..
And I also been trying accubattery for the last 2 days and it says that my battery capacity is 2,923 but I don't really mind since I always end my days with plenty of battery left.
Anyone knows if the use of the 20w Wireless charger damage the battery more than the 18w charger from the box?
