ok guys, so i know alot of people dont have this problem, but i did, and im pretty sure i cant be the only one out there ! my battery started f***ing up pretty much, well it wasnt the battery, it was the charging port for the phone, my phone would charge my battery from 0-100 in about 20 minutes, and would finish in about 3 horus max of light usage, and 30 minutes heavy usage , that aint normal, so i bought another battery stock original sony Ericsson guess what? still did the same thing, so im ok what the fudgecakes, i started messing with every rom, reverted back to stock everything no root, still problem, installed minicm9 still problem, tried every rom pretty much, well then one fantastic afternoon, i decided to charge my bst-38 battery thru another phone, now this is kinda dangerous i guess? LOL ummm and i connected it in another phone with wires and stuff, cbf with details, ill let you know if necessary and, well it fully charged the battery in about 1hour 30 minutes, i chucked it in my x10 mini pro my baby <3 and i got a solid 10 hours of battery medium usage, so what i did was i bought an external bst-38 battery charger, and its great now get about 16 hours battery with light usage i just wanted everyone to know, because this problem does suck ALOT ! haha
Nice to hear your phone is working properly again good on you

Anyone know where I can buy a extra battery for the TP2? I have found a couple in the UK but would rather find a seller in the US.
Part# - BA S390
Is the part# listed above the correct battery for the TP2?
Mine actually says "RHOD160" on the back of it...
I found a 1500mah battery on ebay (item# 250445669999) with a "buy it now" for $8.95.
Anyone have any experience with this "replacement" battery. If so, how does it compare with the original battery which is 1500mah also?
****Update****
I also found this 1500mah battery on ebay (item # 270409538954) with a "buy it now" for $21.99

I stick with genuine batteries now as I had a bad experience with after market batteries. My TyTN2 has issues turning on, and randomly turns off - even after I put the genuine battery back in. It seems the after market battery did some permanent damage.
I recently received some 1500mah batteries for the TP2. I purchased 3 units. I have a friend that will test these batteries before I use it. I will use one for the office, home and the other one will be opened and my friend will inspect the board and cell of battery. He usually takes about a week to do these test so, I will give you a update next week, if possible.
I dont really have a problem with the battery life of the TP2. Its just in case I forget to charge it over the weekend, due to my drunken stupor. Its nice to have a backup battery at home or work.
maybe I'm the only one with short life battery problem on rhodium... but I have to complain... after 3 times I've charged ...the battery dies in the evening.
maybe I must be patience and maybe it will improve after some charging cicle...but for now I'm disappointed.
anybody've seen a better battery on market for TP2?
well... i been an iphone user for a long time..
well since the first gen came out...
almost 2 years ago..
i still own an iphone First Gen (2g)
and now i been with the TOuch Pro 2
for about 3 weeks..
i love the TP2...
i did a test.. a little one tho..
i live in NEw YOrk.. in the bronx
i had to go to the JFK airport
in train so it was arround 1 hour and 20 minutes
maybe the trip...
i charged both phones to 100percent...
i was listening to music the WHOLE TRIP with the Iphone
and the TP2 was Idle...
when i got there... my iphone still was 100...
the TP2 was about 91%....
another stuff that i know it drains a little my battery from the TP2
is beejive but i cant live without it, i been trying a lot of methods to
increase my battery, cant see it perform better..
TP2 fully charge in the morning and it dies before 7pm..
just Textin, and some phone calls ( about 3-5 calls )
no website .. if so maybe 1 website .. no emails no push anything...
no bluetooh no wifi...
i ordered an extra battery and a craddle i hope this helps me.
something i figured was that the charging is REALLY FASTTTT....
it can go out 20% in about 15-25minutes of charging
( wall plug ) ... dont try to charge from USB it will take u 200 hours LOL
when i first got it i always charged from usb and used to take me like 8 hours
even more to fully charge it.. but when i tried from the wall plug..is Amazing
how fast it charges..

so what are you saying ? that im just here makin
false statements? well...
i was a big fan of APPLE.. now i really LOVE
my TP2.. and i dont have any reason to be saying
something that is not...
my iphone battery was still 100%...
if u dont believe me then go do it yourself man
im just saying.. the TP2 really have issues with its
battery...
Peace dude.
Not saying that your statement is false or deceiving, just that your iphone battery meter was lying to you.
Clearly the battery level can't be at 100% after 1 hr 20 min of use. The meter must only drop when the battery gets to a certain level. Kinda like when you fill your gas tank and the needle stays on full for the next 50Km.
You must have the 1% increment tweak installed. Notice how a couple of minutes after taking it off charge it drops to 99%. At least this is realistic aye enjoy your TP2.
I found the screen brightness was one of the biggest battery killers. Since I took it off auto adjust and set it to full brightness all the time, the life had significantly decreased.

I don't believe you.. I dare say that because I was a user of iPhone 3G.. battery is hopeless.. I SURELY didn't get that kind of situation.. My wife still has an iPhone 3G.. also can't replicate your kind of situation..
In anycase, I do not believe any mobile phone device, listening to music at >1hr can still be at 100%.. surely the battery reporting driver has gone haywire..
However I'm not saying TP2 doesn't have battery reporting issues. Infact most HTCs I use seem to report battery differently at times.. usually after a soft reset, it shows a different battery status.

yea.. i agree with you.. but i noticed something on the iphone,
if u charge the battery to 100% and keep it charging for at least 20-30 minutes.. it will last long in 100%.. i dont know if is that my battery meter was wrong or something, i guess so... i was just trying to tell
what happened to me.... i really love the TP2 i wish i could have more battery life tho...
I hv no problem with my TP2. The battery last me for almost 2 days with 1 overnight charge. I'm liking it

It's just about how you use the phone.
I normally get a bit more than 2 days out of one charge, but then I'm calling and writing, surfing and checking EMails every 30 minutes, youtubing and listening to music.
Now I went over my data plan so I disabled the Mail-checking and did not listen to music for a while. The battery now lasts for 3 days with already 60% left.
I would say, one week battery lifetime isn't much of a problem if you don't use the phone's functions in any matter

Anyone bought one of these? Seems cheap - but if it works...
Comparin iPhone 2G with TP2 is not an apple for apple comparison. First compare with the ipHone 3G (Remember how poeple complained their 3G was lasting really less than their 2G and were switching from 3G to 2G to spare battery life ?)
Besides as many underlined the battery meter from iPhone is decieving (The TP2 has issues but less I believe)
In the end my TP2 last rougly 136 hours an I am quite a hevay user. Even if the iPhone last longer (I dont have an iPhone so cant compare both feelings, and my previous remarks come from my friends' experince who own one), the nice point with the TP2 is to be able to replace the battery with another one
wu dudes, well,my tp2 comes in 7 days.... i'll test it and than post here about life batery.... and freeway4you maybe u charge your batery when its not 0%. if you do that the batery is gonna be weak. sorry the english...

Yea i've had that same exact problem today, charged it, went to sleep and i woke up it was almost empty. I went back to the shop and replaced it, i'll see what happens now. Although after doing some research I think that it has to take some cycles to reach full capacity. Good luck bro ...
Mine is shocking. I have wifi ect turned off. Im running SPB 3.5,
Charged for 8 hours last night, Left this morning @ 8am and my battery is now down to 40%!! I havent even used it either!!
Is it a faulty battery or is the phone just ****?
one thing to note is that the battery level indicator is not accurate in the slightest
mine needs a charge every other day for light text, call use and once a day when used as an mp3 player, and maybe a 2nd short day charge if using fpsece alot
ok cheers pal.
batt
I charge as well every other day, I have 2 imap4 account (every 30 minutes refreshed), SPB 3.5 weather every 4 hours refreshed.. 30 minutes of call per day, 5 emails read daily approx, checking time and weather 3-8 times a day. return the phone to orange, battery is sufficient.. ciao
Had the same problem
Eventually I bought mugen battery for me and my brother 1300Mah (which is
same size as original).
I can definitely say its now improved.
I watch atleast 30 min of videos a day.
I talk for 30-40 min
send 10-15 sms messages
play games for 20-30 min
and use wifi for 10-15 min (check facebook,college mail,email)
and still come back home in the evening with a working phone.
the original was a disaster lol

Actuallu oruginak is 1000mah. Mugen 1300mah
For me the original battery got pretty bad over the last year and lost capacity. I think being this undersized and the very inaccurate level indicator doesn't help the battery to hold its designed capacity when empty battery isn't that good for battery health. And my battery was empty a lot of times.
So I hope this improves a lot with the ordered mugen battery 1300mAh.

If you want battery life get rid of spb asap! And if you have one of those roms that come with spb preinstalled and you can't disable it, try reinstalling another rom. I suggest the rom in my signature, it is 6.1 but it realy flies! It also leaves you with 100+ mb free boot ram. If you're having problems with ppl complaining about not hearing you well etc there is another version in the same thread with radio 5005.1700.05 which is for many europeans the best radio with crisp sound during calls and great battery life. Day before yesterday about 12:30AM (well practically that is yesterday ) i started with full 100% and installed this rom, which is quite a battery draining procedure. Yesterday phone was connected to bt headset all day, talked about 20-30mins and today as i'm writing this post i'm in almost full 70% on a mungen 1300mah battery.
edit: I forgot to mention something important, cpu is set to low and backlight to middle.
edit2: Today at 8:30 it reached 10% and got the recharge msg. Yesterday all day i had no calls just bt headset connection. So that's 2 full days and some change, highest ever
Now that I have the new mugen battery with 1300mAh I can state that my old original battery lost something about 30-50% during the last year. That's pretty bad, eh?

Last year? You must have bought your phone from the early ones. 30-50 is indeed quite quite bad
Hey Guys,
Since a while i have a htc touch pro. Since WinMo suks ass i decided to dual-boot it on xdandroid. So far i'm pretty satisfied with the result but i have one major problem. Off course there are plenty of threads about sucking battery life and even more sucking battery indication but i seem to have a new problem, for nobody else posted this problem anywhere else. My phone (when booted in Haret) doesn't charge for more than 83%, and besides, i have the feeling that even when it says that it has been charged to 83%, it has not even been charged for the half becouse my battery life is really not that good. So that's my first problem. And since it would be to easy if i had only this single problem i would like to ask you why it takes so long under xdandroid to find gps signal. Under WinMo it would take max. about 20 sec. to find a signal but under xdandroid it can easely take about 5 min..
Thanks for any help.
I've got FRX06 Bundle with some custom **** attached
I've got a bit of a problem with my Xperia Ray and despite hours of googling I still can't find a solution so I thought I'd see if you guys could help
Had it for about 6 months now and it worked great up until a couple of weeks ago when suddenly the battery life got way shorter, like I used to be able to get close to 3 days if I didn't do anything but sending messages and using some basic apps and even with pretty heavy use it still lasted well over a day.
Recently though it lasts under 20 hours with absolutely no usage, when I leave the phone overnight it loses about 40% charge when previously the use was under 10 for the same time period and even if its turned off it loses charge at a similar rate.
The other problem that started around the same time was that whenever the phone turns off from lack of charge or I take out the battery the date resets to 6 January 1980 and the phone seems unable to automatically correct it. Previously my phone was able to retain the date even after the battery had run down completly.
The only thing I can think of that changed before the problems started was that I used a solar powered usb charger for a few days because I was tramping but I have no idea what that could have gone wrong or how I could fix it.
I've tried a full factory reset, upgraded the android software to 4.0.4 and used various battery apps to try to find anything that might be using all my battery with no success.
Its driving me crazy so any help would be great.
Also here's a picture of a recent day of usage (not enough posts to embed it properly sorry), except for a short run I didn't use the phone for anything

Could be a lot of things. If the solar powered charger made your phone really hot while charging then the battery might be permanently damaged and you should try a different battery. It could also be that your power meter has gone wonky and this can be reset by charging the phone to 100% and then removing the battery and the usb cable from the phone for 10 minutes. Return the battery to the phone and charge it back up to 100%. Usually, when I experience something like this, it is some app that is draining the battery. Since you have just been trekking, maybe it is google maps. If it is tracking/updating you location, it will drain your battery really fast. You should be able to see this, just by going to system settings->battery. Stand by or Display are usually the big battery hogs.

Thanks for the replys everyone!
I don't know anyone with a ray battery but I can buy a new one relatively cheap so I'll do that and see how it goes
I'll post results in a few days
Well I got a new battery yesterday as suggested and tried it out from full charge but unfortunately there was no change in the battery life, it still ran all the way down in less than 20 hours with minimal use
Begining to wonder if its a hardware fault within the phone itself
Hello everyone. My alpha has got serious battery drain 1 hour use and by use I mean WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook... And from 100% it goes to 70. So, is there a way to improve the battery life or is it because the phone sucks? I don't know if it's still a good phone in 2017.. Thanks anyway!!
WTH 30 % for one hour is pretty normal
Is it also normal that my phone turns off at 18% or sometimes 5%?
The battery for this phone is rubbish however it sounds like yours is faulty. I had the same symptoms after about 8 months with my stock alpha and replaced the battery with an unofficial from Amazon. Works fine now and has lasted much better than the Samsung official.
Samsung really screwed the pooch with this phone. CPU, screen and aluminium body (indestructible) are great but terrible battery and no software update is a real middle finger. It did not ship enough units so they think **** the people who actually bought it.
Absolutely right. Thanks a lot.
Try PolarCell made in Germany , 2000mAh , new technology . It's great for me . All the best .
I also replaced my battery already. One year of use.
The symptoms were the same, it turned off at 15% or sometimes 5%... It also charged itself faster, a sign that the cells were not in good condition anymore.
It seems that in addition to have little capacity Alpha battery also has a short durability.
I preferred an original battery (13€)... I should buy another just in case, soon they will disappear.
Well if you are rooted, you might try to reset the battery stats. This helped me a bit. But overall the 8 core and the AMOLED are sucking the small battery pretty hard ...
