I recently bought a T-Mobile G1 and flashed it to:
EzGingerbread 20110828
Radio: 2.22.28.25
SPL: 1.33.0013d
I currently have a PowerGen battery, which came with the phone.
I do not have a data plan, so I run with WiFi off & autosync off when not at home, screen at 25% brightness most of the time. The battery takes excessively long to charge when using USB and AC charger (in this case, iPhone charger and a car charger for a GPS which outputs 5v, up to 1.2A IIRC). If I leave it on my bed untouched overnight with the mentioned settings at high battery charge (90%+), it's usually 25% or less when I wake up.
So, I'm thinking to buy an OEM battery. I see a T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 available on Amazon that seems to have good reviews, as well as a HTC Innovations G1 Google Battery Drea160. Both appear to be OEM products - some received the 31463TMR when bought from a T-Mo store, and I've read Drea160 mentioned here previously. Which one would be the better choice, or is there an extended battery that is well lauded and does not require an extended cover?
I'd link to the said products rather than simply bolding them, but since this is my first post I am unable to do that. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks.
Well, I purchased the T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 from Amazon and it has a "DREA160" part #, and looks fine. It arrived with only a 1% charge, strangely; I'll let it die and recharge to full. I also ordered a replacement back cover and it has the same part number and markings as the original cover. I hope this battery will fare better than the one I was using previously.
I bought a 1980 mAh extended battery for my LG Thrill back in October and have been away since it came in. I am unable to get it to charge at all, no matter what I do. It's too late to return it at this point. Has anybody had similar issues with these batteries? Would an external charger solve the problem?
I've bought a new battery from ebay, I looked for an original Motorola one, and it seemed to be just it (hologram, writings, it all looks just like the one that came with the phone). But what I have a problem with is - I've charged the phone with the old battery inserted, then went to the recovery menu, deleted battery stats, and replaced the batteries. The thing is... Phone didn't charge after that, it just said the battery is 100%. It would be weird that the new battery came 100% charged, so what did I do wrong? And how do I make the phone to charge it properly?

Post your CM10 BASED ROM battery life! And some tips and tricks!
First post...

Hey guys,
I've had my GNote since March 2012 and recently I've had some problems with it. Starting about a week ago, the phone would shut down randomly at any battery percentage and boot back up with NO power (it would say 0 or 1% battery then die again). I've tried switching ROMs (from JellyBean Sandwich to SkeletonKey), but nothing seems to be helping, which makes me think it's a problem with the battery itself. If this happens, I can take the battery out for a couple minutes then put it back in and it will work, but then it will happen all over again. This leads me to believe that it's a problem with maybe the battery heating up? I would appreciate any help with this, thanks!
Sounds like you might want to try a new battery. These batteries don't have a long usage life. 1.5yrs seems to be a common fail point. They are pretty cheap to buy on eBay.
Does your battery get hot quickly?
Does your battery appear to be a little fatter or thicker than normal?

That's kind of what I was thinking. I was going to hold off and tough it out because I'm upgrading to Moto X next week, but I think I'm going to keep this device to use as a music player since it has the SD Card slot.
Definitely gets pretty hot when using, but it kind of always has. Maybe a little quicker now.
Not sure about the battery. Can't be a good judge of it, but maybe it's a little swollen?
Check out my thread on ravpower 2750.....read people's comments and how they like it.... Then buy one

My batteries (the OEM from purchase & an aftermarket) both started to fail at approximately 18 months. The aftermarket had the same symptoms you describe; the OEM just wasn't providing as long a life as I liked. First I tried an oversize extended life battery, but I didn't like the size and the cheap plastic humpback. I then bought two Anker 2700mAh batteries & a charger on eBay for about $30. All is now well again, with great performance and battery life. I selected the Anker batteries because they fit in the Note without the bulk of the extended back that larger batteries require.
One point about the Anker batteries I discovered; they do not work with the Samsung OEM charger due to polarity, you must have the universal type charger such as comes with the Anker batteries in order to charge outboard of the Note. Onboard charging with the OEM USB data/charging cable is not a problem.
Good luck.

Thank you, I actually did just go ahead and purchase a new battery, but it was the 2750mAh Ravpower that Shayne mentioned. Just popped it in last night and it definitely seems like my rebooting problems are gone. Fully charged it and it will receive the true test of battery life today at work.
Hello
I have a samsung galaxy xcover that come with a 1500mAh battery.
Due to low life, I bought a 1800mAh battery.
The thing is that all application telle me that my battery is fully charge, and the charger seems to stop charging, at 1500mAh in place of 1800mAh.
Is there any way to get over this number ?
Can I update something somewhere in Android to tell him that my battery is now 1800mAh ?
My smartphone is rooted.
Best regards,
Pierre
