Hi, Need help.. Is it normal for O2 XDA II to turn off at below 40% batt. life? it turns off for atlst 4mins. then turn back ON again and if u try using it again, it turns off again. Is this some kind of there safety features so that batt. life will not be drained? thnx in advnce..
why are you letting it get that low?
you have to remember it is more than a phone so to preserve your data it does shut down if the battery is low, but the standard battery (1300 mAh) isn't vast and if your walking about with the screen on all day it will drain very quickly turn the screen off so its not running the battery flat and it should be fine OR buy a high Ah battery as I did for my XDA IIi from HK cheap as chips and I can go two days easy without charging
It only goes for about 6hrs.. dont know y, yup i kept on turning off the screen. wat Ah capacity did you buy? mine doesn't go long for a day, kept on charging it every day.
3600 mAh if I leave the screen off it lasts about 48 hours comes with a new back cover that while a little diffcult to shut it does and covers the battery fine
think this is the link
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/battery_centre/
it cost £9.99 plus I think it was £4.99 P & P
Thnx owl, maybe the prob. is with in the batt., i'll try to buy new one..
I just had a replacement 3600mAh battery from a retailer here in the UK (Ebay) as the first battery they gave me was faulty. This one seems to take forever to drain
A std 1300mAh OEM battery should last a couple of days with the radio/Phone on but screen off in standby mode.
The 3600mAh battery should last the best part of a week or longer before it needs a recharge if left on standby. If yours only lasts for a couple of days then you have a faulty battery because yours is doing the same as the faulty one i had, which wasn't even lasting as long as my OEM 1300mAh battery.
I'd get the retailer to exchange it.
Hi!
I'v just bought 3600 mAh battery at http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/battery_centre/ for my xda 2i.
But instead of original 1300 battery, charge indicator shows only 100% or just 0.
Is it because of new battery and i simply need to fully charge and discharge new battery 2-3 times or is it problem of ppc?
Thanks in advance for answer, Gleb
OK, I know battery life is always an issue with PDA phones. I'm never far from a charger. I'm fine as long as I'm just checking e-mail (4 accounts, once an hour) and a little light web surfing with Opera Mini.
The problem arises when I use my phone as...well...a phone.
My Tilt loses battery power at an alarming rate when I'm talking on the phone. A 20 minute conversation will easily cost me 40% of my battery.
I'm usually in a non-3G area, so I'm on Edge. I normally have a good, strong 4-bar signal. Even when I'm in a 3G area, I use a different comm manager to turn off 3G to conserve power. I use KaiserTweak and select all the "Advised" settings in the power-related sections.
I've tried several different radios, but haven't noticed an improvement.
Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations on improving the efficiency of my Tilt in phone mode?
I have the same problem.
I have 3 batteries. 2 Samsungs and 1 Dynapak. Each battery lasts about 3 hours in standby. The phone is always warm as well. I have a utility that shows the phone is running around 380mAh current. That's seems pretty high.
I think theres something seriously wrong with certain batches of these phones.
these phones r seriously poor for battery life.. i love the htc but they slowly being overttaken by other phones.. shame!
maybe depends on the battery and ROM/radio because my Kaiser lasts 1 gay of VERY heavy usage+calling, and in stand by can lasts 6 days at least.

mine too or maybe more. Normally I charge every 2 days.
Seriously though, hasn't this topic been beat to death with a stylus?
Ask youself this, how is your battery and what all is running on the phone?
If the battery is a year old then just accept that it's shelf life is over with. If your phone is always warm that would general mean that one of the radios is running, Wifi , data, gps? If any of those are running all of the time or when you are not using it, then your draining the battery.
I have a friend that beat himself up trying to figure out why his battery would drain so fast, he reflashed the phone 3 times a day etc etc etc. He just could not accept that it was a crappy battery. I got another (used battery) and it worked fine.

Me too used to get about 2 days with a 2700 that is being registered correctly, i now tell everyone to not phone me "well they don't listen just like no one does" so i block all incoming calls with MagiCall, to what point do i have a phone now? To flash & twaek and text
"Am kinda joking but my stylus is now half the size due to this topic"
Buy a new battery.
I don't dig long phone calls unless there is something going on. Too many people just want to hang out on the phone and say nothing.

This isn't my first foray into these HTC devices. I've been using them for nearly 2 years now, and I know the battery life on these devices isn't what it is on something like my old RAZR. I'm just fine with that; since the Tilt does so much more, I don't expect the charge to last a week like my RAZR did. But this drain while using the phone is driving me nuts.
FYI, I know to keep WiFi and GPS off, and to use KaiserTweak to shut down data connections when they're not being used. If I don't use the phone or surf, the battery will easily last me 2 days, and that's with checking 4 e-mail accounts every hour, and with SBSH PocketWeather getting updates every 2 hours. But talk on the phone, and it's a different story. I talked to my wife for about 30 minutes last night and went from 80% to 20% battery level.
The battery is only about 7-8 months old. Still, I ordered a new 1600ma battery last week, and it should be here in a day or two. I'm hoping that solves the problem.
It's possible that the battery you have now is under warranty. (if you bought the phone new)
good luck.

Unfortunately, it was a refurb, and the warranty expired a long time ago. The new battery wasn't exactly a budget killer.
Well my battery seems to be working now.
Phone is no longer hot all the time, and my utility says I'm using between 1 and 64 mA. That's much better than the 350+ mA it was sucking before.
I didn't do a damn thing different either. Didn't change any settings for the radios, didn't reflash, etc..
Some people think that the GPS get's stuck in the "on" position and there's no way to turn it off, short of opening and closing GPS Aware programs repeatedly until your current usage drops in the sub 100 mA range.
Always discharge your battery fully as possible at least 1 a week to ensure your battery last longer, lots of charges above the threshold will diminish your batteries life and capacity. The Kaiser is a powerful device and it is obvious to anyone that this requires power to run it, so the battery wont last for days. :-(

HUH???????
These are Lithium batteries, we aren't in the 90's anymore buddy.. My phone lasts for at least 2 days and sometimes 3 (the phone is over a year old too)..
Welcome to the year 2009
"1. Battery Memory - When I first got my new cellphone, my friend recommended to fully drain the battery before recharging it. His reasoning was connected to the idea of battery memory. Allowing the battery to fully discharge then recharging to max, supposedly gives you the complete battery capacity. Otherwise, if you simply charged from the half way point to max battery capacity, the battery would treat the half way point as the empty point, thus cutting your battery capacity in half.
Problem is battery memory doesn’t apply to Lithium batteries, this advice was meant for Nickel based batteries. Fully discharging your Lithium battery frequently can actually be quite harmful to your battery’s health, possibly rendering it completely unusable if energy levels go too low.
The good news is today’s lithium batteries have a safety circuit in place to insure the battery doesn’t reach the point of no return. The safety circuit isn’t fool proof of course, if you leave your battery completely drained for a few days, even the circuit’s protective measures won’t save it.
"
INFACT it's recommended to leave a little bit of a charge before charging or storing.
l o l
Be that as it may, when you get a new battery you still have to use it for a few weeks before the phone reports battery levels accurately. The phone may still shut down when WM thinks it's almost empty, regardless if it's actually empty or not. Just try it, battery life improves over the first few weeks of usage, and your battery level readings will get more stable (instead of dropping to 50% in 10 minutes and then proceeding to stay there for 6 hours).
BTW my kaiser lasts about 3 days as well, with fairly heavy usage.
No fair, I want a bazillion stars next to my name too.
I Think this guy has had the phone and battery for a little while, so the few weeks thing might not be an option. (well at least the battery he was posting about)

As refered to your reply, i didnt mean discharge fully completely i meant the cut off point would stop you anyhow, i meant to bring it to about 10%, i found that using the battery until it reaches 10-12% far by decreases battery drain when it is fully charged again, this is only 1 in a while though not frequently. I understand lithuim-ion doesnt have a memory effect problem, but there is such thing as variable current influencing different cells which can either benefit or make it worst, there is a lot of debate as to whether this improves it or not.
Great tip, keep it cool and away from your pocket pants because heat kills it.
Dude thats no fun to keep it out of your pocket,
The battery in my X1 lasted literally five hours today. A couple text messages, some wifi browsing, no calls. My phone gets to the 40-50% mark then my phone starts barking that my battery is low. Is there anything I can do to correct this or should I just get a new battery (which is the original BTW).
If I need to get a new battery, are there any authentic OEM batteries on EBay? I don't want to buy from SonyStyle because they are $54 after my discount.

My battery lasts a respectable amount of time. I listen to the radio on the hour bus ride to work, usually place a couple of phone calls, do some email reading, send a couple of SMS. Usually, my phone gets left on during the day for eight or so hours, then it gets similar treatment on the way home. I also usually make quite a few calls during the day, and it has Exchange Activesync running on it most of the time, and is using 3/3.5G connections. By the time I get home, the battery is often reading about 50%. Theres also various automatic downloads - for RSS, weather, social data and so on every couple of hours.
I've also not-charged it in the night, and it's been good for two days of this kind of activity, by which time the battery is usually on a low-battery warning, but still kicking, by the time I get home on the second day. I've found the battery to be something I can rely upon, but it's also massively varied with rom - battery drains crazyfast using the EnergyROM series, whereas the Rusch/Wildchild Manilla colab builds have relatively minimal drain.
@emuneee
is this with stock rom and radio? All these crazy manila roms are pretty hard on battery usage. Im trying to decide if my battery isnt holding as much a charge as it used to or if its the roms I've been using. I dont want to buy a new battery then find out it makes no difference

I use Wildchild's Pure WM6.5 ROM, so there is no manila.
i use energy leo rom and mine lasts 4 days with intensive use
My battery life IMPROVED!
Yes, you heard right! Thanks to newer Roms and radios the current consumption got lower, so the battery life got better.
Only on hard use (playing, surfing, etc) i get battery problems. But normal use allows me to use the phone 2-3 days. When my xperia was new i only could use it one day, because even in standby it consumpet to much energy (about 20% in 8 hours).

That's fairly cheap. But keep in mind that the battery only has 1000mAh with 3.7V output, unlike the original 1450mAh with 3.6V output.
In any case, you can buy a new batter after another year for this cheap price heh

You WHAT?? I charge my battery every day. I don't mind, because this is not inconvenient (charger @work and @home) and I too consider myself a heavy user. But FOUR DAYS?
I have noticed an issue, which I experience with both my original battery and a brand new clone BST-41 (still 1500mAh). This is that the battery will normally merrily dwindle down to about 20-30%, at which point the X1 will die. I then plug it back in, and once it's booted I find the battery reads critical, but of course it's charging. Once it's charged back up to round about 75%, it'll skip to full, and cease charging.
The net result is that only 70% or so of my battery is usable, which is very irksome. This is the case across every ROM I've tried lately (I don't remember it on stock, but I ditched that over a year ago).
Has anybody else experienced this? Again, this is with 2 separate batteries, so I must presume it is a phone hardware bug/fault/"feature".

Here's a challenge for all your Xperia's. To you who still has 3 - 4 days life span, could you try playing mp3's? strictly via earphones. say in1 hour and 30 minutes. See if the battery last for a day.
When I do that while going to work, My battery after 1 hour or so drops to 30%. I even thought why put this feature in the first place, what was SE thinking? Other SE music phones lasts until you decided to stop playing. I know. Iknow. It's not a music but what the heck... 30%?

I left my X1 playing MP3s on earphones. From 100%, after 4 hours it read 73%.
@G. Leche: maybe you had left the screen or WiFi on. The screen, WiFi (and/or push internet), and GPS are the main battery gobblers. And how's your signal? Frequent G/E/3G switching (or simply having to search for the signal at all) will increase the radio's battery consumption 3-4 times

nope. not at all. in fact "nireklamo ko pa 'to sa SE SM Carpark" told them my phone's a bit warm. Brought 'em there 100% went around shopping and played eheads on my ear. Went back to Se after an hour so they can have a look. and they all said "normal". I guess your lucky, I bet yours is black.
and oh, naka sun cellular ako. maybe it's part of the battery drain.
yup, mine is black.
hmmm... sounds like something is using up your batt. maybe an app? i was driving around a while ago and had nitrogen on the external speaker. that's the only time it gets warm when playing MP3s (due to the screen has to be on if you want to use the speakers)
I worked at AccuShop for some time - they are generally nice folks.
Maybe I can do a review!
P.S. 1 year old, and no real changes. IMHO, the problem is that the box needs a good charge from a wallwart from time to time - always tricklecharging via USB makes the logic go bonkers!
Just got standard apps, and standard rom (SEUS). except for ms voice commander. I play mp3's through media panel btw.
I haven't even left mine to over charge, since I bought it. I always have habit though of buying a spare battery whenever I bought a new one, same goes for my laptops. But last time SE doesn't have spare batteries for X1 and since taking off of the cover can risk my phone to crack (just an educated speculation though) I don't see myself changing battery from time to time with my Xperia.

Sounds like a battery problem to me. Personally I would buy an OEM battery. Check online retailers for better prices. Using cheap batteries is a lottery.
anyone can recognize this battery is original or fake?

I've had my SGS Plus for a bit over a year now and the battery died few weeks ago.
It started with reboots, mainly with high battery drain use like browsing and gaming. When it tried to reboot, came a pop-up telling that I should connect my phone to a charger even tho I had plenty of juice left, and then it shut down the phone because the battery level was too low. When it finally booted after 3-5 reboots caused by low battery, battery level was ~5-8%, and it started to charge itself slowly, so that it would almost reach the level It had before the reboot in a few hours.
The battery lasted +2 days on average with my use, so it definitely has not been charged too many times (150-200 charge cycles). Samsung gives a six month warranty for the battery, so no help from there. The battery itself had swollen ~1-2 mm, that how I got a clue where to look for the fault.
Do you consider this normal? How long has your battery been serving you?
The battery of my i9000 still works after 2 years. Batterys are quite unpredictable so IMo it's not something you could blame on Samsung unless everybody would have this problem. In other words yes I think it's normal, but you are unlucky.
It isn't a big problem either since you can buy a replacement for just a few dollars if you don't care it's not official. The i9001 battery has more capacity though so they are either expensive or hard to find.
Hey guys! So I am having now turning 3 years old Xiaomi Mi3. It is still working pretty good with all these roms we've got credit to the great developers we have at XDA. The only problem I'm having is with the battery life. Previously it would last whole day. Now I'm charging it thrice daily.
So I ordered a new battery and replaced it.
The problem is at around 20 % of the battery, the phone died suddenly and when I put it in charging it flashed the notification light as if the battery is completely drained. Mind it that after replacement, I straight away charged the battery to 100% and then calibrated using battery calibration app by Nema.
After the phone died, I put it in offline charging and didn't reboot the phone until it was totally charged and then rebooted. It is now working fine!
The battery is holding better than what I was having but still, it goes down easily.
I am a heavy user! Lots of browsing, ebooks, emails, whatsapp, camera, etc.
Is anything else needed to be done.?
I am currently on second battery cycle of the new battery. Right now I got 2 hours 10 min SOT and 45% still left.
I am pretty sure, even this is not going to last the whole day as it used to do once back when the phone was new!
BTW am on NOS and it is pretty stable and generally always on 3g.
Please advise!
If you got the battery from official service center only then expect it to work as it used to do when the phone was new. Batteries from eBay, amazon and other websites won't give backup as the original one does because they aren't original ones, typically such batteries have 60% backup when compared to original one.

The thing is that the service center guy tells me that they have stopped importing parts of Xiaomi Mi3. I tried it in another center, they told me that it will cost 1500Rs for the battery and 600Rs for installation and service charges.
So I got it from ebay at 300Rs and replaced myself.
Probably you are right and this won't be giving any improvement to me! I just gave it a try so that I can wait for a month or so for newer phone launches. But I guess I have to rely more on charger than on battery
got a new battery for 300₹ from ebay..replaced it myself..3 yrs is more than enough from a single battery..battery backup ki great..m getting around 4.5-5hrs of SOT..probably which i was getting when i bought this phone..currently on DU. i am on wifi almost all the time.

Can you post a link?Does the device shut off at 20% battery?
Also can you check the battery temperature while charging?The one I bought from ebay never goes above 25.
