yeah, best a dualBoot!
and if Android, please as nand Rom.
and both systems with 100% function
for the first, please update the wp7 ROM!
A dual boot could be great, miro
But until that, I just wanna the best functionality as possible (3G, Wifi, good signal, GPS).
Maybe WP7 Mango is better for the TG01 hardware as it runs smooth even in old devices
Good job anyway!!
android is hurting my eyes O.- the simplicity of WP7 won't be overcomed for ages! all you need is there. no dock,appdrawer, layer, wallpaper set up and settings.... For me it is boooring. No ofense to others but I am a Wp7(tg01) and android(sgs2) and symbian(N73, X6) user. and all is ok, but wp7 is pure and fast at beta state on tg01! what was the android beta on tg01? ask your self? We will see day when android will become as symbian locked to one company copyrights. If you all don't know symbian was as android now open project till Nokia licenced it for it self only. microsoft never had something locked cuz every program, OS or anything that have something with microsoft will be hacked eventualy I don't say we don't need android but WP7 primary solution for us!
i agree i think android is a boring kiddy ui wp7 is more manly
wp7 at the moment on out tg01 is fast its like the hd7!!
there are less bugs to fix than android
so lets just focus on wp7 for now i say

i have 2 android tablets, but to be honnest, i don't use them alot, the last time was about a month ago, android is just boring...
Possible solution for bricked tg01s
Sent from my DesireNov 11S using xda premium
I'd really like to have WP7 working!
Well, I've used both WP7 and Android. Both the OSes are OK. The problem is, IMHO, there are little software support the WP7. I can use Flash, IM messenger like Skype, Nimbuzz, GPS software, custom dictionary software and custom language keyboard and even PSX and N64 game on Android. For my normal daily use, I don't have to worry much when transfer from WM6.5 to Android because there're so many similar applications out there or better.

I agree 100%! I bought a Viewsonic G Tablet from a buddy that has Vegan's 7.0 custom Gingerbread 2.3 ROM installed. After playing around with it a few times it mostly collects dust now. It's a good Internet device but is a bit buggy and I can't download apps directly from Go_ogle's Marketplace.

Two things that we really need for the TG01:
1. A REAL fix for Toshiba's frustrating Piece of S#@T!!! inaccurate battery meter. I've done my own custom triple battery install giving me 3000 mAh capacity (3300 mAh if one believes the 1100mAh listed on each Cameron Sino battery). The phone now typically lasts for 3-4 days between charges, dependent on usage. The infernal crappy disgusting battery meter many times shows the red low battery icon under heavy usage. A reboot then shows 70% remaining! This is such a big FAIL for this otherwise excellent phone. I just can't believe that Toshiba could screw up this bad on something so simple!
2. S - K - Y - P - E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought (3) Cameron Sino 1100 mAh direct replacement batteries for the original Toshiba 1000 mAh battery (same exact size) from eBay. Here's the link:
Code:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170658969408?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I stacked two of them together with very thin packaging tape then soldered the like terminals together. That was difficult for me because my soldering skills are almost zero. This more than doubled the battery life from 1/2 to 1 full day with the original Toshiba battery to 1 1/2 to 2+ days typically. I placed the 3rd battery facing the stacked battery and added some spare tiny flashlight battery retention springs between the 2nd & 3rd batteries then securely taped the 3rd battery to the 2nd battery. The whole process was tedious, but not too difficult. With fxdjacentyfxd's guidance it worked well. Since my soldering skills are poor the solder joints don't look good but they do work. You have to be extremely carefully soldering these batteries as they damage very easily from heat. Here's the thread with some photos of the process stacking two batteries together:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993343&page=48
The battery dialog with fxdjacentyfxd began on page 43 if you want to see some history. I'm probably going to take a couple more photos and consolidate my battery mod in a new thread.

Thanks for the info.
I would like to see:
- WP7 being fully implemented as there is clearly a great deal of interest and is the key to maintaining community activity
- WP7 becoming as customisable as WM6.5 is - I don't personally like the inteface but if I could personalise to the same level I have been able to WM6.5 I'd be much more inclined to try/use.
- The dual-boot option mentioned by Miro would be very good.
- Clearer understanding / solutions to bricked TG01s would also be very good.
Regards,
Kevin

Using O2 Atom Exec..
I find the battery gets drained pretty quickly..
SO i went on ebay
found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/3200mAh-HI-BATT...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
This battery claims to be"
3200mAH
THATS 2 TIMES the ones that came with the phone at 1530mAH
is this possible?? ??
Should i buy? My phone battery will last a lot longer?
DavidW, buy yours from Worcell. You should be in the area. I bought a standard cap battery from them but they have extended ones as well. Even the standard ones perform better. <_<
That's for real I've seen a lot of them. The problem is they make your phone fat.

it has a replacement back battery pack that will make ur atom bulky, coz the battery itself is bulky.
^ correct. Remember that it will no longer fit in standard cases you can buy from the shelves.
I already bought 1. I'm still waiting for it to arrive though. I'll give you guys some feedback as soon as it arrives. I'll post some pics too if possible.

Got my 3200mah battery!!!
It's thick!!! I couldn't use my original battery cover, they provided me anew bulkier one.
Not for thickness conscious people!!! Silicon case can help protect from scratches çoz it stretches. However, got to keep my metal case in the drawer çoz it couldn't fit. 2.1 times thicker than the original battery.
I love the battery life though. I kept it open from 11 PM to 9 am from 80% down to 57%. Backlight at minimum but lit all the way though 9 am.
Slow to charge.
I'll try and see how long it will last using wifi and will provide feedback.

Bro post some pic for us can?and wat brand did u buy? 11pm to 9am, 80% to 57% isnt too impressive actually. However Li batt need some usage before reaching its peak so expect the life to be longer after some usage
I saw some battery pack on web which hold 4xAAA battery that can charge our atom. Anyone have any ideas whether it will cause any potential problem to our batt or device? Im using a 1xAAA battery pack now for emergency use cos it wont charge much
Just before my Atom went to PDA heven ,
I bought a Mugen extended battery.
3000 mAh
came with 3 new covers (black/grey/white)
worked a treat , but did double the width of the phone
(can show you pic's if you like.)
Bought from a member of this site, who is one of the top 5 donators.
Australia based.
http://www.pressdigital.com.au
can highly recommend them .
(safer than e-bay IMHO )

Look like the one for ipod is it? how much did u pay for it?
Ok. I got the figures now. With 2 hours on and off usage of the Phone and about 3 hrs of solitaire (3% per 10 minutes of play), I ended up with 50% from 11 AM this morning to 9 PM. No wifi or gprs.
Wifi will eat 10% per 1/2 hr of use.
Charging time became considerably less. About the same as the original battery. Great already for me considering I used to charge at least 2 times a day with the original battery while it was still new. 4 times nowadays. (I charge whenever I see the battery is already down to 50 to 60%.
Sorry I couldn't send you a pic of the actual battery coz my wife is using our camera. Just imagine your atom turning into a turtle or a mini station wagon. The additional thickness is as thick as any plastic part of the side of the atom (it's plastic-rubber(volume button)-plastic).
The new battery doesn't come off easy. I mean it's easy to install but it's really hard getting it out. However, the cover that came with it can be used with both original and new batteries so you don't need to bring along 2 covers for long trips. I just wish they designed the cover better.
I bought this from "battery center" in ebay(not bidding though). It's about Php 1,169.00(USD 25.++) including shipping snd insurance. Cheaper than any atom battery you can buy here in the Philippines (cheapest so far is Php 1,400.00). Could be cheaper if I bought 3 or more.
Have just bought an Hero 3000mAh battery and larger cover for £14.99 uk (free postage too) for a test. Will report back as to performance since it has just arrived and am in process of charging.
Only downside so far is thicker cover is black, but that is puerly a cosmetic factor and doesn't bother me too much. Am hoping that this will give me better than a days charge with Android 2.1 ROMs.
Am not sure that I can post where I bought the battery from on the Forum as this could be considered spamming. Could someone clarify if I am able to give the link.
I have just purchased one as well after seeing this post, Will hopefully be ok.
Initial impressions of the battery seem to be positive (pun intended). Had a slight worry when battery indicator dropped a single bar within an hour, 20 hours later and indicator is still sat at one bar from full.
Am still on my first charge and expect the battery to reach it's full potential (another pun) after a couple of charges. So far am very pleased with value of this battery and the charge it holds.
Could you maybe post some pics on how thick your hero is with the new battery
does a 3000Ma battery can do a damage to the phone?
if it doesn't, why everyone dont buy it?
Bit difficult for me to take photos at the moment, my camera is mounted up for my work and takes ages to set back up. The battery cover adds about 6mm to the depth of the phone in an area equal to the size of the battery. I actually have big hands and find it more comfortable to hold than the standard cover.

3000mAh is the capacity of the battery it should run for longer, not the voltage supplied so no damage should occur. The problem comes with quality control on aftermarket batteries, they can be of lower capacity than a standard battery, despite claims of a higher capacity.
There have also been cases of aftermarket batteries overheating and expoding, it is rare but can happen. I bought the battery as an experiment to see if it lived up to the claims and am prepared to take the small risk of serious hazards with the battery. In the end it's down to paying for a name and strict quality control, Kellogs Cornflakes or Unbranded Breakfast Crunchies.
The large capacity battery's make your phone fat and ugly
I rather work with 20 hours of total battery life with a beautiful piece of kit, then to run 40 hours with an ugly 80's looking fatso.

One thing I have noticed about charging this battery, is that the indicator will show battery as fully charged. I found that giving an extra hour after fully charged is shown will give a much better charge. So far the battery will give a good 36Hrs with Wifi continually on, haven't tried it with WiFi off for a long period, so far about 12hrs and it is still showing fully charged.
Thanks 13...
this was really helpful... i will go ahead and buy one
Has this battery worked good for you guys? No problems? I kind of need a bigger battery for the times I'm doing jobtravels etc. Earlier experiences in non original batteries are both good and bad. Bought a battery for my HTC Diamond, and the phone got fried. Don't wanna experience that again (even though my job buys me new phones when I need one)...
Just wanted to know you my experiences.
I have a 2600 mAh extended battery and my running time of the phone with enabled WiFi and Nimbuzz is about 48 hours. Without WiFi, pure Standby, is about 85-90 hours.
You need at least 10-15 recharge cycles to get the full capacity out from the battery.

Sounds great. I might have to try one of these batteries. What battery did you buy?
I bought one of this too, off Ebay. Although the phone is a bit uglier and slightly heavier, the battery seems to last between 2 and 3 times as long. I gotta say it's totally been worth it. The extra size isn't that noticable either...most people look at the front, right?
Well i bought one and i rly dont like it.
Its almost a half centimeter bigger and allot heavier.
So be ware the phone does get ugly but you do get more battery power.
Tbh i rather recharge my phone everyday then make it so ugly
I've just ordered this battery.
Can any one give some real numbers? For example how long will it last with 3g network active. I bought this one for outdoor activities when I can't recharge for a few days and I would like to know how many days I can depend on it.
Thanks!
I rooted my phone and tweaked the crap out of it.
Runs 48 hours with standard battery now.
No need for fat and ugly
I have this battery + cover too.
Because it's bigger, I find it easier to press the hardware buttons on the bottom of the front of the Hero. THe only drawback is the total volume in your pocket, but that's just a minor point.
Also, flashing Modaco's 3.1 Rom and the newest RADIO Rom, the phone lasts for about 6-7 days with normal use (wifi/3g on when i need it, some regular phonecalls/texts)
For those still using the TG01 I've just done a mod that gives my TG01 9 days on a single charge... that's right, 9 days on a single charge!!! Of course it depends on usage.
Image 1 (see thumbnails) shows the completed mod. I did this by making a battery tray out of 1/4" square pine rods I picked up at an RC hobby shop. The rear cover is Mugen's from their 2600 mAh battery kit.
Image 2 shows the battery connector (black). I snagged this from an HTC 8525 junk mainboard. It has 6 contacts and only needed 3 so just left the full length to add stability.
Image 3 shows a top view of the installed battery tray and the wooden retainer strip to the right.
Image 4 shows the battery tray and battery comparison.
Image 5 shows the battery tray sitting on top of the original Toshiba battery. There was a lot of tedious work to make this tray but it wasn't too difficult.
This mod has so far exceeded my expectations. Buying a genuine Samsung OEM battery (joint Japan-Korea product) probably is one reason for the fantastic performance. And the phone isn't very heavy. The new Samsung battery only requires a single charge, unlike my original multi-battery pack which required charging several times to get a full charge. The inherently inaccurate TG01 battery meter is still present but not a real problem with this mod.
I also bought an aftermarket 5000 mAh 'fat' battery kit for the Samsung Galaxy Note in case this one didn't meet expectations and am in the process of slightly modifying that battery (adding extensions to the electrical contacts) to use with this tray. I will have to modify the back cover as the 'fat' battery is 15mm thick. I'll give an update once that mod is completed and tested. If anyone would like additional details, photos, etc., just let me know.
--------------------------------------------
Update - Finally had to recharge my phone again. This time it managed 6 days (instead of "about 5 days" that I reported initially)!!! TBH these were mostly fairly light days, no videos and games, a mixture of calls, some camera shots, and some Internet browsing. I also forgot to turn it off one night. The battery might have lasted a full week but my TG01's whacky battery protective circuitry turns the phone off when the battery level falls below "28%". After popping the battery out to recharge in my external charger I decided to check the voltage. What to my surprise the battery still had around 3.2v remaining. I was thinking WTF as it's safe to discharge li-ion/li-po batteries down to 2.75v. I wonder if there is a way to override this ridiculously conservative setting. If anyone has any idea please chime in.
--------------------------------------------
Update #2 - Oct 24th
This Samsung battery just keeps getting better and better. My 3rd full recharge cycle yielded 8 full days of light usage. My 4th full recharge cycle jumped to 9 full days!!! The 5th cycle resulted in 5 days of mixed light and heavy usage and still probably had another day of use left. See my response to fxdjacentyfxd below for more details.
Cheers!

Yes, you certainly may. I can take some more pictures and provide more details if you're interested. The only difficult part is to find a battery connector from a junk phone to connect the new battery. You will also have to modify the original TG01 back cover if you don't have the Mugen 2600 mAh kit cover. Other than that I used some heavy gauge copper wire to make the new battery tray harness and pine wood for the tray. The original Toshiba battery was the template to make the new wood battery tray. Again, this mod is a little tedious but not too difficult. I used pine wood for the battery tray as it is very light, strong, and easy to work with.
Good luck! :good:

Thanks Jacek! I appreciate the complement, especially coming from you, the battery mod master. :good: Yep, unfortunately the TG01 forums are beginning to have only echos as most have moved on. I really like my TG01 as it still does everything I need except for Skype & 3G. I confess I'm too lazy and a bit scared to mess around with cooking a new ROM to change the radio since I have no experience in such matters.
Regarding this battery mod I have to say this Samsung battery is incredible. I'm currently on day 8 of fairly light use (3rd recharge cycle) and my battery is finally down to 30%. I reboot the phone several times daily to update the inaccurate TG01 battery meter.
Regarding the battery meter I do have a question for you. Is there a way to modify the battery driver(?) or ??? so the phone will not shut off until the battery discharges down to 2.8-2.9v? We're losing quite a bit of time before recharges since the phone shuts off between 3.2-3.4v. Toshiba really screwed up on that one.
I'll be updating this thread so stay tuned my friend.
Cheers,
Jim

As I remember when I was developing stub for original battery driver [ in fact my driver it is not native driver because I have ( I guess nobody have ) no knowledge how to access hardware responsible for battery measurements. It behaves exactly like device driver but calls original battery driver and sometimes ... cheat so that work with TG01 was possible under 20%. You know my 26% ]
I realized I had not any influence when TG01 shut off. I was doing some measurements. Sometimes it shut off when battery is about 3.2-3.4 ( typically ) but sometimes it shut of when battery is 2.91V . Take into account that having 3.2-3.4 battery have of course some capacity yet but You realize that there are ( can be ) big current flows ( peeks ) that can very easy do decrease voltage on snapdragon and other hardware below 3V and lower. I guess that is why voltage level when TG01 shuts off is so different.

Regarding your question I was forced to reboot the TG01 several times daily or it would frequently turn itself off in the middle of phone calls. With my new Samsung battery I don't have to reboot it anymore but still do when the battery level drops to an indicated 30%-40% as the TG01 battery meter routine is still faulty. This new battery is so good it will last a full day even when starting at 30% charge.
I've been documenting recharge cycles and phone usage. Before going to Bangkok last week I got 9 full days of light usage! While in Bangkok I was using the phone a lot including lots of wi-fi time. I still got 5 full days with 30% remaining. I could have gotten another day but decided to recharge as hospital stay and overnight bus trip back home would have been too long before I could recharge.
I am extremely happy :laugh::victory::silly: with this new Samsung battery mod. Even still, I'm considering trying to modify my mod to use the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 battery, rated at 3100mAh. Unfortunately, the Note 2 is so new I can't find the battery dimensions. There are no free lunches and since it has 24% more capacity it has to be 24% larger. If it's just 24% longer I can possibly modify my existing rig. If it's any wider it's not an option. If it's thicker then I would have to buy the 'fatter' Mugen cover like you have. At this late stage it isn't worth it, especially since this mod works so well.
Cheers my friend! :good:

Hi Jim.
Nice to hear You are healthy
It seems You are becoming best known battery mod maker in the world
It is nice You still want to do something with tg01.
Recently, after some rom modifications I had problems with frequent tg01 system restarts but it seems I know what was wrong. Having opportunity, i changed radio to 321 which seems to be better for talks than radio 1600 I typically was using.
Tests are in progress.
Cheers

Greetings Jacek,
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you were able to solve your radio problem. I made a mistake by putting one of my 1100mAh Cameron Sino batteries in my TG01 again. The reason was I had discharged my Samsung battery and had it on an external charger, but needed to make some calls. Now my phone is back in slow mode again unless I have Bluetooth turned on. I hope the problem is only temporary as the phone has been working perfectly until now. If you have any ideas please let me know.
Thanks, my friend!

Hmmm , once again. You removed Your battery pack then You inserted fully charged Cameron Sino battery. From this time Your phone works very slow and only cure for it is to switch BT on ?

Yes, it's the exact same problem I had for months before I did the Samsung battery mod. Miraculously, the problem went away as soon as I installed the new Samsung. I have already removed the Cameron Sino and reinstalled the Samsung, but the 'slow' problem is still there. I have no idea why.
Thanks!
Jim
Tell mi Jim, having previously Samsung battery, You always drained it totally before charging( untill tg01 shutdown itself ) or rather You were charging it to full state again without tg01 shutdown ? It is "paranormal activity" for me but maybe reason is concerned with the fact that You removed power totally ( battery exchange ). I know it sounds stupid. Were You exchanging Samsung battery pack in the past many times and nothing wrong was happening ?

Let me start by saying the original s-l-o-w problem just disappeared as soon as I started using the Samsung battery. I have to say that I have had NO problems at all using the Samsung battery. In fact, the experience with the phone is so much better because I don't even have to think about the battery anymore. Keep in mind it's a single battery so there is no fighting between battery protection circuits like I think I was having with my multi-battery mod.
To answer your question, at first I drained the Samsung battery until the TG01 auto-shut-off turned it off at around 26%. I did this because I read that a new battery needs several full discharge/recharge cycles to get maximum capacity of the battery. This has proven to be true as capacity increased each cycle finally leveling off at 9 full days between recharges. I've also partially recharged the Samsung with 30% remaining with no problems. I've only gone through about 9-10 recharge cycles to date with the Samsung because it usually lasts 8-9 days between recharges, dependent upon usage.
During this time I have also used the phone a time or two with the original Toshiba battery while the Samsung was charging, because the large Samsung battery takes a full day or night to fully recharge. The TG01 did not suffer the s-l-o-w mode then. It was only after I put the single Cameron Sino 1100mAh battery back in that the s-l-o-w mode problem started again.
I'm relatively sure a hard reset will fix the s-l-o-w problem because it worked before when using the Cameron Sino battery pack. Unfortunately the problem would come back. Now I believe the Cameron Sino battery's protective circuit may be damaged and caused the s-l-o-w problem. I won't be using that battery again. I'll update you after I hard reset the phone.
Cheers, my friend!
Jim
P.S. - Could you please post or send me your finger-swipe-to-unlock file? Mine disappeared during one of the master resets. THANKS!!!
Hi Jim.
I wait for Your hard reset results. Having opportunity maybe You change and test radio to 321 ?...
I do not quite understand what You mean "your finger-swipe-to-unlock file" ? You mean You want to remove "lock screen action" after going sleep at all ?

Hi Jacek,
I still haven't backed up my phone yet so haven't done the master reset yet. When I first installed your custom ROM it had an Android type 'swipe to unlock' feature. I disabled it because I had the auto-screen orientation turned on and it made the swipe to unlock difficult to use. I stopped using the auto-screen orientation a long time ago because it is so laggy. I'm having to unlock the phone using the original Windows Mobile unlock feature which is crappy and would like to add the swipe to unlock feature.
Thanks!
Jim
Jim, I am getting older but I can swear I have never had any android-like software.
My custom rom has always had default WM6.5/WM6.5.x screen locker/unlocker disabled. As You surely know, this unlocker is based on sliders. Maybe that is why You say it is like in androd. Being disabled, older fashion ( WM6.1 ) screen locker is active but as You said and I can confirm, it is poor working software and that is why I personaly for my usage, totally switched off and screen lock/unlock. I do not need it at all. You can enable sliders in registry by only one switch value.
All I really needed was some kind of screen locker when TG01 is active ( let's say navigation software is on ) and You want to put in to jacket pocket or to any bag.
Without any "touch" disabler it is very probable that You ( Your pocket or bag ) touch the screen. I created some piece of software ( assigned to camera button ) that locks the screen when I want and unlocks when I want.
Regards
Jacek
Hello does anyone still use TG01?
The Samsung battery will be fully charged from TG01?
Any idea haow to modify the back cover?

Yes, it will be charged fully by TG01 internal charging circuit as long as the electrical contact points line up correctly. I did not modify the back cover. Instead I bought a 2600mAh battery cover from Mugen, who makes 2 different battery kits for the TG01, 2600 and 3900 mAh. If you don't mind paying a high price for their batteries you can just order a kit. Here is the link to Mugen:

Good luck and hope this helps!

I think they are no longer selling replacement cover.
I see only expensive kit battery + cover ($79,95), I paid the full TG01 less
I'll try to do my best on modifying original cover for an inexpensive samsung battery

I sent an email to them at: [email protected] and asked them to sell me just a replacement back cover. I lied and told them I bought the phone used and it already had the Mugen 2600 mAh battery and cover but that I had dropped the phone and damaged the cover. They sold me a new cover (with stylus) for $14.95 U.S. dollars, which included free international shipping. This was back in August 2011 so don't know if the price is the same now.
Their batteries are OK, but don't know why they charge 10x price for them. Since the TG01 is now a very old model they will probably be glad to sell to you just the back cover. They call it "backdoor".
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Nabi 2 Battery life is only bad part of the tablet. My son can kill it in about 3.5 to 4hr if he really works on it. I did menage to pop open my tablet. Thanks to byohaserd and his post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024105
So what I found inside is TCL Hyperpower Battery Inc. Looks like part number is PR-5165111N can be widely found and purchase on ebay or Internet sites.
Like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PR-5165111N-3-7V-4000mAh-Li-polymer-Rechargeable-Battery-With-Lead-Wires-/130811601461
Looking at it I can see that it is a 5wire battery
4000mAh
3.7V
I'm attaching pictures of the battery front and back. I also attached pictures of the tablet inside. That I had borrowed from byohaserd from his post as I forgot to take some. Thanks for that post again.
Also searching Internet found some spec for Nabi XD and it looks like it comes with same battery as our nabis 2, what stop me was life of the battery. It says up to 10hr on the same batter as we have in our tablets. What is different giving that both have same processor and all spec are the same. It actually puzzle me for a second as it has biger screen with higher resolution so it should eat more battery not less
Anyways. Giving that we know now what we have inside battery wise in nabi 2 can this battery be updated? something bigger with more time. There is plenty of space in that tablet ,and lets not forget about the space in the rear cover insider the grid for nabi letters. Can two of the same battry be combine together to achieve more battery life? Dose any one know what are all 5wires are use for on the battery? Any input will be gladly appreciated.

Thanks for your post. I could not find the replacment part until I saw you list this number. I would have liked to get a longer lasting battery, but don't know enough to find one that will work. Did you ever try sticking two tegther.
Also, are these batteries soft and squishy? I had never experienced this before.
Hi all,
My phone is exceptionally clean (using my debloat script), other than Whatsapp there's nothing using mobile. I feel the battery has been getting worse each week so today I did a test.
Fully charged I went for a cycle ride lasting exactly 4hrs. I didn't use the phone at all, by the time I got back the battery was 55%.
So I think there's nothing else left for it other than the battery is end of life. As I'm an electronic engineer it'll be easy to take the chip off the battery and stick it on another if I can find one the right size. Has anybody done any investigation regarding this?
Cheers,
Andrew
Hey Snoopy!
Ya, I just did the same thing with my battery. Taking off the back is easy. And the battery setup is just like most non-removable phone batteries, with the small pcb that attaches to the battery on the two metal tabs (- +) that protrude from the battery cells. So it's easy enough to replace, so long as you're comfortable soldering onto those two tabs.
The battery is miniature. Absolutely tiny. I believe it's 4mm x 34mm x 40mm (but that's from memory), so you can find some little guy on alibaba, but it has to be pretty much the same size, with only about 1mm of wiggle room.
What I am planning to do: I'm just leaving the back cover OFF, and getting a bigger sized one (like maybe 10mm thick), and then making a new back cover for it. Like out of wood, or maybe I'll melt down some aluminium and cast one. That way, maybe I can get this thing ready to last a week or so.
Lastly, I don't know if you know this yet, but GRAPHENE batteries have hit the market. These charge in just like 2 minutes and last way longer, and are significantly smaller. If you can find a graphene battery that fits, it would definitely be worth the money.
Cheers!
Hi Andrew,
first I want to thank you very very much for your work on the palm. It helped me a lot to use this phone in the way I want.
I'm using three of this phones (verizon from ebay-us) in Germany (Provider Congstar/Telekom) and with no deep technical knowledge I'm limited in testing around.
But I want to share my experince with batterylife:
My main Palm is running the 1AMD build (rooted, cleaned with your script, wifi off, mobile data off, bluetooth off). The phone is using the 3G Network from Congstar. With minor use (some text messages, 20min calls every 2 days) the battery lasts 4-5 day. without sim card up to 10 days. I am very happy with that.
My second Palm with same settings (rooted, cleaned...) but with 1AMG (latest update via Sugar), sucks off the whole battery in less than 24h.
My third Palm same as the second (rooted, cleaned, with 1AMG, everything off) and no sim card is now at 42% (Phone idle 5d 10h 45m - 4 days left).
Today I downgraded my second palm from 1AMG to 1AMD and it will show if the batterylife is depending on the build and network. I will post the result
Cheers!
I do have mobile on, and whatsapp will be doing some interaction in the background no doubt. I might see about a way to disable mobile while on battery, see if that sorts it.

You need the files from a previous build. I use the Sugar Software and rename the old files with the filename from the update Sugar downloaded. After that just upgrade as discribed in the Root-How-To.
I also tried out to copy the file from EU version on a US-Verizon phone. This is unhappiely not working. After I restored the original build the Wifi and Bluetooth functions not working anymore.

Nothing changed. The battery lost 20% in 2h while the other phone lost 2% in 2h. I don't understand it.

My 1AMD phone (rooted and used your script) is at 85% after 20h. Everything off (wifi, mobile data, location, bluetooth), mobile Network on. Minor use. Just typed some text messages.
My 1AMG phone (rooted and used your script) is at 90% after 16h. Everything off (wifi, mobile data, location, bluetooth), mobile Network on. No usage, just checking state of the battery very few hours.
My third phone downgraded from 1AMG to 1AMD. The one which I crashed with the EU build (wifi and bluetooth dead), running out off battery over night. Everything off, no Sim.
I think the Android and Accubattery etc are totally unreliable. All Android knows are two things
a) the batteries design capacity.
b) the voltage.
c) the condition of the battery as reported by the battery.
Working out 'drain' requires measuring the voltage delta over time and working out a % requires knowing how much system load there was during that time to induce that voltage drop.
So everything said if you've just reinstalled or restarted and so on then the % is fairly meaningless.
The best way is going to be to charge your phone up and time how long until it dies. Assuming the same application load as another phone then the results are comparable.
Palm Support were fairly quick getting back, which is surprising. They said -
"Size: 3.8x34x42mm
Capacity: 800mAh, 5V1A
Type: Lithium-ion
Number of cells: 1
Weight: 11.7g"
So I'm hunting on aliexpress for a replacement battery soon.

Do you have a source? I'm struggling to find anything of the size!
Did you checked out the OEM battery on ebay for the pvg100?
Probably equally knackered. These small batteries have a hard life. But the image does show who they are made by and the quality from new should be excellent as this is a reputable supplier.
I asked Palm support and they said -
"There's not really an equivalent model for the Palm battery; most batteries
either have a different form factor, higher milliamp capacity (and
attendant increased size), or insufficient voltage. Even a few of my
standbys for weird parts (Alibaba, Wish, etc) don't turn up anything
appropriate. My recommendation would be to get a Palm from eBay listed as
"for parts" or otherwise not working."

Hello,
The backside of an original PVG100 battery is labeled 383440, meaning 3.8*34*40 mm.
Searching 103440 on Aliexpress showed the thick batteries you mentioned (10*34*40 mm size ; 1400 mAh capacity). They are dirt cheap, if you want to try them.
Why not a 3D printed back cover ? This would allow for making several prototypes, to improve the shapes (if the first ones do not lock properly into the frame). You could then share your 3D files with the PVG100 owners community, so that anyone could print it or have it printed by a 3D printing company.
Let's dream further : if your "deep" back cover has no bump for the 103440 battery (in other words, if it is flat), the empty space above the battery could be populated by a second battery. A 602540 (6*25*40 mm size ; 600 mAh capacity) or a 603040 (6*30*40 mm size ; 1200 mAh capacity) may fit under the flashlight led.
Another option for the double battery : keep an original battery in its standard location, and add a 604060 battery (6*40*60 mm size ; 1500 mAh capacity) over it, inside a deep 3D printed back cover .
Lots of ideas, but I have no PVG100 (yet ?) and no 3D printer.
It is easier to advise than to do !
Have a nice day !
Cobus.
I have a 3d printer, and maybe I can coerce a mate into laser scanning the rear.
Anyone have a picture with the rear cover off so I can see where the battery lives?
Cheers,
Andrew

I'd like to have a look at the battery, but how did you open the backcase?
I've tried gently without success
It's in a good location. Might be easier to cut a hole out of the rear panel, then 3d print a bump and weld it over the top. I don't fancy my chances getting a perfect rear cover to print.
Palm support are being unusually good at the moment, I'll see if I can sweet talk them into sending over the CAD for the rear cover!

I did not. I don't even have a PVG100 !
The link I gave is the FCC ID Database. Pictures were provided by Palm when they applied for FCC registration.

Ta-DAAAA! Here try this! This is the UNBRADED (non-verizon) firmware that I got off of a EU standalone palm.
There are 27 files here, and I renamed them all to the 1AMD version, so that if you are already running 1AMD, you can just trick Sugar to load these pseudo-1AMD files, but they are really the 3C35, which is the only version of firmware that is not commissioned by Verizon. Seems like you still need to disable Google play services, but otherwise the battery life is pretty good. I use aurora services instead of google play, and the battery lasts all day with moderate use, and only loses a couple points over night.
The boot.img file here is pre-rooted with magisk. However, I have not yet run Andrew's debloat script on this firmware yet.

To install, go to Sugar's bin folder, and after first upgrading and downloading the 27 files, simply swap these linked files (they are 3C35, but already renamed 1AMD to trick Sugar) with the files that Sugar automatically downloaded from their server, and click upgrade! Sugar will think that it is just rewriting 1AMD onto your palm, but it will actually be cross-flashing my unbranded firmware, 3C35.
Just a quick note about this firmware, it still has all the Gapps, and if you use Verizon in the U.S. like I do, it seems like the Palm will then auto-install a verizon app upon setup. Just disable it.
Cheers!
I'm going to try this
My script will work fine on it, it'll skip the verizon ones not found, same with the config edits.
