Hi all here is my situation I've had my phone now for about 18 months or maybe a bit longer it wont charge to 100% every single time sometimes does sometimes doesn't. Phone turns itself off even at 50% power left then when re-started shows 0%, wait a while, maybe 10 or 20 mins then re-start again sometimes shows more power than before (today went off @ 56% came back on @ 84%, go figure). Back in the old days of nicads and ni-mh batteries there is a phenomenon called "recovery" where they magically get recharged from "sub-space" and then they last a bit longer.
up untill the past week I thought li-ion batteries were immune from the phenomenon of "recovery" but they have now showed me to not know as much as I thought....
Oh, the other dead (pardon the pun ) give away that my battery is dying, is the fact that it has started to buldge and is now a little hard to get out of the phone lucky for me *touch wood, its not getting hot while charging, cause u know these things can go BANG and make big damages....
Just thought I'd share some wisdom of something new I've learned, who knows maybe some else can learn something new too...
P.s. I've already ordered a battery set from eBay, 2 * 1500 mAh plus wall charger for AU$ 10 +$4 quick delivery... will have to see if those batteries are better than the stock batteries.

Sorry to hear, but my stock battery's the best. It still provides advertised hours of stock, sometimes even more on custom ROMs.
But on the contrary, I did use two other third-party batteries, both from eBay, both from Hong Kong with the dreaded 6-week shipping to Canada. The first one lasted fine after the first year, the second one died on the day I used it @ 30%. I threw it in the snow (I think that's illegal and dangerous, oops) in rage. But the first one, as it aged its very short third-party imitative age, began to bulge, like yours.
I stopped using it and placed it in my wallet pocket as an emergency battery for whenever I'd really need it. Since my wallet is always on my person and I live in cold-cold-Canada, the battery was always warm from body heat, something I believed damaged it to the point of disrepair.
A few months ago on a trip to the States, I had to use it, but unsurprisingly it lasted for around half an hour at every charge and would never charge > 16%. Ouch.
I'm now back to one battery, but it suits me. The only thing I need now from my Legend is SMS and Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Regarding difficulties in removing the battery, have you tried the red lever? My bulgy battery was bulged for months before I figured that thing out, so I always either had to use it as a primary battery, or spend a few hours periodically shaking it out in a very gross, suggestive hand gesture before it got out ENOUGH to push the battery out. Pain in the bum! I found it, and it was a godsend from HTC, them probably knowing we'd use third-party batteries. <3
Yes, thanks for the red lever tip, although I did know that one already I could not use my finger to pull the red tab/lever down as the battery was a bit tight, I had to get a flat screw driver to latch onto the red tab to pull it down as it hurt like hell trying to use my finger.

Finally received my set of 2 * 1500 mAh and charger today now for the endurance testing
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
Well this is fantastic, now my phone lasts all day and doesn't turn off at random intervals even when showing 92%. I have a thought how the hell can the health report for the old battery shows "good" when its doing what it was
My first full charge I got 23 hours this encluded 2 hrs 30 mins of continues screen on and mobile internet (gave it a good hammering) 2*20 min phone calls and various other short stints on the net and sundrys.
Next endurance test will have to be continues music playback, back in the old days I used to get about 9 hrs music playback.

Here's a bit of an update, it is about 5 months since getting those new batteries, and they are now both showing signs that they are not very good, I have had to swap them out regularly as they cannot last a whole day, even with reduced usage. So it looks like the old saying of you get what you pay for is very true, best to avoid cheap Chinese ebay batteries.

I've had one about 2 days now. Read reports saying to go full discharge/ full charge about 4-5 cycles to realize full potential. I've ran it down once fully and down to about 30% a few times but with my work schedule/activities I dont like to let it get too low for fear of having to be leashed to a wall plug or charger for awhile. BUT i can say that the life seems to be getting better and as for the actual size of it.. seems big at first and in pix but i'm fully used to it now and I'm comfortable with it. Havent checked the actual stats on how long since unplugged in comparison to the stock, but I'd say for the price it was worth it..
At $30 I'm thinking about it. How much thicker did this make your phone rickriego?
I am guessing that this doesn't work well if you use the fingerprint reader?
Might be able to get used to the added dimensions, but how about weight? Was that pretty noticeable?

I have had a 3200 mAh battery from Seidio for about 3 months. I have all my radios blazing throughout the day. I listen to music over the cell network while in my car for a 1 hour commute. I leave my GPS on all the time. I use Bluetooth in my car. In short I have all the features of my Atrix that I paid for. I get 16 hours on a charge on a hard day. I plug it into the charger at bed-time.
The battery shown above may well be phoney. My Seidio is the real deal. I have no financial interest in Seido.
I am on stock OTA GB from AT&T. My only complaint is that by early afternoon my Atrix begins to complain (falsely) that my battery is depleted. I've haven't researched the problem fully yet, but there is a battery daemon (battd) that I think I can kill and end that silliness.
I have tried all manner of battery calibration juju to no good end, I have posted about it in other threads with lots of advice and no resolution. Let's not hijack the OP's thread.

Seems same brand as this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-HIGH...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item519a60619e ( I have an optimus) which is $2.95 .., someone is making a lot of money if it's selling for $30
BTW I have the above battery and it works fine, if I had to guess I'd say 1200mAH, seems worse than stock 1500 slightly. after 20 charge cycles I think it's starting to go bad, not sure yet, it died at 40% the other day.
I just recieved this one and WOW
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3-7v-3...-pack-with-back-cover-for-moto-ma860-4g-65800
Streamed a 2h 20m movie over wifi without taxing it at all. Plus when it fell to 1 percent it stayed on for about an hour. I'm on cyanogenmod right now so I know the larger size battery needs to be recalibrated. I am also assuming that when you switch from the lower MAH to the higher one the battery information stored on your phone would then be incorrect. Basically everytime you switch batteries you should clear your battery memory in your recovery or download a proper recalibrating app to do so. Hope this helps everybody!

I was wondering when someone would recommend getting a new oem battery for the eris? I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it seems like my phone dies quite quickly. Of course my usage varies (usually depending on if the girlfriend is working lol) so i can't be sure. Furthermore its not like i kept logs of my battery life when i first got the phone so its not like i can accurately compare to my past life. What do you guys and girls think? The oem batteries on ebay for like 5$ are quite tempting at this point.

I was noticing definitively lower battery life in May this year - so, when my battery was about 16 months old - and bought a new one, and battery life definitely improved back to my old normal. I had to weight that against the realization that I was planning to upgrade my phone sometime around mid-August to late-September - but it was still worth it to me. It's a lot less of a hassle than making sure that I am charging a couple of times a day.
I think that, given the charge cycles that phone batteries typically get, this is pretty much expected.
Do it.
Also, there was a thread around here somewhere (in the Droid Eris Q&A section) about OEM batteries for about 10 bucks. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
Alright thanks, i jumped on it, should be here by monday. Ill let you all know how it goes

You should be fine with it - especially for under $10 - I ordered a HTC Ozone OEM 1500 maH battery for the Eris (which I knew would fit tightly with the stock cover) and nearly 6 months later, no issues whatsoever & holding charges. Recently ordered a LG ENV3 (OEM) battery from the same NY-based eBay merchant and it put new life into DW's 2 years old "feature" phone.
I kept the "old" battery charged & keep it alongside with the headphone & usb cable handy when I'm on the go for contingency purposes, occassionally rotating between the 2 batteries.
I've had my Droid Eris for almost 2 years and noticed the battery life was becoming horrible. To the point of having to keep the phone plugged in all the time. I purchased a brand new oem battery and STILL have the same issue. Now its worse those, it will suddenly die and when I restart the phone, there is NO charge. Any suggestions?
Did you try calibrating it?
Sent from my ERIS-ADR6200 using XDA App
I had my battery die on a hiking trip (I was using the camera a lot) and bought a spare battery when I got home.
Not long after that I rooted my phone and put Setcpu on it to lower the clock speed when the screen is off. I now get about double the battery life. I have yet to need my spare battery, but I swap back and forth every few weeks.
my first reply
I'm try to post my first reply in xda...What's going , I'm looking forward to this message...
Are you using a battery monitor on the Eris? I highly recommend using it as you can check to see what's running in the background (i.e Maps did manage to stay on or come back - maybe, delicate touchscreen issues ??) that might be "draining" the battery - even after a proper calibration & several full charge/discharge cycles.
Depending on the custom ROM, it could be the widgets, clock/weather/news app, email, or even screen settings, etc. Up until last week, I had a nearly 30 months old HTC battery (from the Ozone @ 1500 maH) in the now decommissioned, WiFi only Eris and it was fine - holding a solid charge for typically 20+ to 30 hours of light/moderate usage & standby time.
Does this seem logical to you guys?
It took me 3 hours and 15 minutes to charge the battery from 0% to 100%.
It then took me less than 2 hours to drain 30% of it.
Is this the typical battery behavior on the S2?
Not really my battery is not the greatest but it gives me about 18 hours
With the amount of screen on time you have used. Yes.
The battery will last for days with very little screen on time.
Our big screens chew through the battery.
Was getting screen on time of around 4+ hours with stock battery and am getting around 6+ hours with 2000mah battery.
Over 4 days only using like a phone.

Thanks for your answers.
I really like this phone, but its autonomy worries me. I come from a blackberry bold 2 and I could get a full work day on it without recharging it. With the galaxy s2, I have to carry a charger with me.
How am I supposed to use my phone without using the screen? It can get so frustrating to see the battery drain in real time...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Well as it was said already, it's a huge screen, it's normal to drain a lot of battery. If your phone is new, the battery will get better. And if you don't have so much screen on time, it will last much longer. When I have a busy day, and not play around with my phone, it can last 2-3 days.
That's the thing. I always have busy days. My smartphone is supposed to let me go to meetings and be an extension of my computer so that I can answer the plethora of emails I get on a daily basis while doing other things. I'm supposed to use my phone without being afraid of running out of battery mid day.
I guess I'm just frustrated because I think I made a bad choice with the s2, given the nature of use and the autonomy I expect from my device.
I can live with a laptop that needs to be plugged in all day, but my phone has to be very independent of a wall socket.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Are you saying that you will be using your phone more than 4 hours a day?
I'm talking about continuous screen time here.
Standard Samsung batteries are only about $10 or so. Having a backup might give some peace of mind. There are chargers on eBay to charge phone and spare at same time.
Samsung extended 2000mah battery costs around $40 and will give you 5 or 6 hours screen time.
A Desk top charger and car charger might help depending on your job.
Point me to the other phones you were choosing from and I bet they aren't too much different.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Essentially, yes.
I work in advertising, so I'm out and about all day long. It isn't unusual for me to be running around the agency talking to the creative teams, or in the car going to a meeting, or getting on a plane. This is why the phone's autonomy is important to me.
Previously, I had a Bold 2. Before that, a Bold. Before that, a BlackBerry 8820. Before that a Nokia N95. Before that, I wasn't that much of a smartphone user.
The best phone I've had so far is the Bold 2. I could get by the whole day on a single charge. Sometimes I'd have to charge it in my car if I knew I was going to have a long night. Honestly, I ran out of battery just once. That 1500 mAH battery was a beast. To make things better, I could get a whole charge in just over an hour using the wall or car charger. My S2 took 3 hours and 20 minutes to charge from 0% to 100% yesterday.
I use my phone to answer email (a lot!), use Facebook, Twitter, read news, browse the web, navigate with Google Maps, play music through Bluetooth, calendar meetings, and chat with friends and colleagues through BBM, Gtalk, or WhatsApp, and phone calls, of course.
For reference, I've had my previous phone, the Bold 2, on for at least four days with no SIM chip and hooked on to my house's wifi and it still has around 60% battery left. Obviously this doesn't include screen time as I haven't used to.
I sound like a BlackBerry fan boy, I know, but I really like Android and I want to be able to use it. Maybe I just picked the wrong device, I don't know...
I am seriously considering getting another battery for my S2, but I feel like I'm worrying too much about the phone and I end up being at it's command instead of the other way around.
Yeah mate grab another battery.

Hope you didn't get one of those cheap "gold" batteries... they will do more harm then good.
Nope, some guy on our local eBay sells a pack of two original 1650 mAH batteries and a wall charger for $50. I compared the pictures and they seem exactly as the one that came with my phone.
They are delivering them today.
as everybody has said, comparing the SGS2 to the blackberry in terms of battery life is pointless, if the sgs2 had the same screen size as the blackberry then it would last a long time, but a 4.3 inch screen is always going to suck battery life. I learned this first with my HD2
Batteries are here and they seem legit.
So now I solved my power problem by buying 2 more batteries lol

Check this out boys and girls. Approximately 2 months ago I got a new stock battery to replace the original that was causing reboots, which then showed the battery level at 0.
Started using the new battery and the same thing started last week. Reboot, low battery even when it was recently fully charged.
So I put the original in which hadn't been used in 2 months. Blast a full charge, wipe stats. And sure as ****, it works fine.
I almost wonder if it sitting for a spell and not being charged "refreshes" or replenished the life?

There's something definitely fishy with the amaze. I had 2 of them, and I'd swap batteries with different charges, say one had 80% and one had 40%. After swapping the one amaze would read close to what the other did, within a couple percent, and the other one was way off, like 30% higher, and it would die way before reaching zero. Funny thing it was only the one that did that with a battery swap, so the amaze is just weird when it comes to reading the battery charge.

It's not jstu the stats Nelly. It's the overall performance and the intermittent shut offs. Since putting the "old" battery back in I can report that after 1 week I have had zero shut offs. Battery is giving me about 7 hours on heavy usage.
Cant figure it out.
Definitely leaves me scratching my head at times.

Have you contacted HTC. Call HTC direct and explain the issue. Ask them to send you a replacement battery. Stay calm, nice and let them know you need a new battery. They will ask you for a credit card to put on file and will tell you to return the old battery. If you dont have a cc ask them to speak with a suprevisor. They can waive the CC requirement if you are polite and don't get into a shouting match. As far as my battery, i am back to my original and it seems to be doing good still. I did have one reboot last week. But that's about it.

Well, you can stop wiping battery stats as a step, since it does nothing.. tons of info out there to show this is 100% fact https://www.google.com/search?q=wiping+battery+stats+does+nothing
If the engineer who helped design android isn't a good source, not sure who is.
As for the accuracy of reading the battery, pretty sure everyone has this issue.. someone recently posted something about the sensor being low quality, but who knows.
Apart from having reboots(which is an issue likely unrelated to battery except for maybe the OP), if you know your battery has 20%, but after a reboot it says you have more/less.. why does this matter, you know you have 20% worth of life left.
As for the OP, you may want to try flashing the stock RUU as there may be a serious problem with your system files, and flashing the RUU in the bootloader is the quickest way to know that EVERYTHING has flashed properly. Instructions in the bible in my signature.

It matters to me. A few times the battery icon/widget says 0 and the phone shuts off. I use the Vol and Power to get into recovery, and it says 20% or whatever it may be. Sure, I know it has 20%, but the OS detects it at 0 and shuts off.
I just remembered, a day or two before my initial post, my battery became super hot. I remember this because, I had the phone in my pocket, and it got really hot. Battery monitor widget reported the temp at 129 deg F. I guess the battery is shot.

Been testing out the batteries extensively. OC'ing, flashing roms, backing and restoring in ext4, netflix, games, and LOTS of data lol. No random shutoffs as of yet.
I'm on Bulletproof 2.5 and after unplugging my Amaze, it stays at 100% (or whatever % i unplugged it at) for 10-30 minutes then my battery goes down by 2% increments and sometimes it hangs around at a random % for about 15 minutes and then continues its 2% increments again. Does any one have a similar issue? Is there a fix since wiping battstats does nothing.

Me and my wife have both an amaze. Her phone started to do the same thing and a couple of weeks after hers mine started. Since I'm an electronic technician I knew there has to be a problem with the connection on the battery. After inspecting the batteries I noticed that the four connections on both batteries had deep marks on them. To fix them, I used a small flat screwdriver and using the flat side scratched the four connections until the deep marks where mostly gone. It's been 3 months since I did that on both batteries and the problem hasn't come back. FYI the two connections on both ends are the + and - and the ones in the center are used for reading the battery status. Hope this help those with this annoying problem.

Disable what you dont want to look at for now, and then when the new method comes out you will be able to root. Its very frustrating that i cannot root and custom rom this phone. With that said, it runs really smooth on stock rom.

How long does the battery last you? Can you go a full day with above moderate use (3hrs screen time+) without a wall outlet? I'm asking cause my first full day with it only gave me 7hrs and so when it reached to 20%. That's not too good. I'm using it on tmobile hspa so no lte either.

it played dead trigger perfectly, took 1% battery from playing for 3 minutes or so. I read the dna's usage battery is 7 hours
i went from a full charge yesterday at 7am to 20% this morning around 11am, I didn't do any gaming I was at work for 8 hours then driving and watching a movie so it wasn't but light usage, but it's supposed to get 7 hours nonstop usage and the lock screen conserves battery like crazy
I guess I'm a little puzzled. I work in an environment where after the drive to work (typically with my DNA plugged in), I work at a desk all day (a lot of the time with my DNA plugged in), and drive home (typically with my DNA plugged in).
Am I the only one on this board who does this?
The very first day I had the DNA, I tested the battery to see how long it would go with my normal use. It went about 5 - 6 hours before I felt the need to plug it in (about 20%).
But, this isn't what is typical. How many on this board actually NEVER plug their phones in during any part of the day? To me it doesn't make sense that anyone would do this. Even for those of us that travel, we can always plug in at the airport, bus station, taxi...etc.
The battery wasn't designed to last us an entire work day, and we have to use some common sense here.

It usually lasts all day easily for me. 5ish hours screen on time and 15 hours off charger.

Mine will last all day for me but I generally keep it on the wireless charger when I'm at work.

I've heard disabling fastboot helps some wake lock issues, but idk if thats true for sure...give it a try?
I wouldn't switch to the S3..its a much inferior device when it comes to specs (minus battery life) as it is an older device...
