Accessories for Revolution - LG Revolution

CONFIRMED: 2900 mAh Extended Battery Enables Kickstand hack
While I was surprised with the decent battery of the Revolution, I've grown to dislike having my phone constantly tethered to a Zagg Sparq, thus bought the $49 extended battery from Verizon.
Much to my delight, the pretty massive battery enables the Revolution to stand up all by itself. Not to mention almost doubles its external-power-source independence. Hoorah!

Triskite I just got the extended battery last night. And I was wondering when you first put it to charge, how long before the battery was full the first time? Last night I put it on the charger at about 2:45am @ 19% left and this morning woke up at 7:45am with only 67% charged.

taking way long to charge atm

yeah dude i had it at around 20% at midnight, woke up at 9AM and it was 75% charged.
This was through the ZaggSparq, which is supposed to do it at the same rate as the wall.... but... I'm hoping that isn't the case.
Were you using the included usb cable & wall->usb adapter?
I will try with that tomorrow night and report...
Definitely needs to be able to charge in 8 hours for me to keep the Revolution in general.
Does anyone think slow charging is something that is possible to fix with a different ROM

possibly i know that with my droid 1 depending on the rom it would charge extremely fast

I'm using the charger that I used on my droid X. I also use a regular charger trying to get it fully charged and same thing.

I finally got the battery fully charged last night. So far today about an hour an half and ive only lost 5% battery so fast so good.

Hows the life of the car battery you have stuck to the back of your phone?

the hunchback has 65% life left and it's 12:49AM.
It has been on without any recharge since 8AM (technically yesterday morning)- I made lots of calls with google voice callback (requires 3g), did lots of web browsing, phone optimizing, and other things like phone hacking (got dedicated search key working with google finally, following xda walkthrough), etc.
I did have Juice Defender on for about half the day- just to turn off 3G when screen is locked (PS does anyone know a better way? AutomateIt doesn't work reliably)-> but it would sometimes take a while to turn 3G back on...
To follow-up with the previous inquiry, it charged from 17% at 1AM to 90% at 6:30AM-> meaning 90% charge in 8 hours which is almost good enough.
It's like carrying around 2 phones in size and in battery life. which I suppose I prefer to only 1.
65% is overkill, though... I will turn off JD

what was your battery life with jd prior to the extended battery?

it got through the day (10% left after 12-15 hrs)... but of course, there is no lte in this city for another week.
also, as i mentioned, 3g would not be re-enabled very often using it- for one reason or another

That battery is an absolute monstrosity, but would come in real handy for a ski trip or road trip...

With the extended battery are there any belt clips or cases that fit it?

that's ugly as hell. why can't they make an extended battery that looks good.. at least make the back cover look presentable.

I agree. I would love to see an extended battery cover that curved along the phone like the regular one, not hard edges like this. I'm assuming they can't on top because of the camera, but why not the bottom? I think that would make it looke at least 10x better.

Dealextreme have just added a 1300mAh HD2 battery to their stock

For anyone who's interested here's the product description: 3.7V 1300mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for HTC HD2
Currently $4.68 delivered worldwide.
Does this appear to look like any others from the packaging? Anyone going to order?
Edit: Ordered & received, all looks good. Will update again in a few days when I'm done testing.
Looks like the ecell battery which is no better than the stock battery. Seems there are a few batteries released under different branding but all with similar performance.
I received my battery a couple of days ago and am now charging it for the first time. I'll post here once I've charged/discharged about 3 times and have a good idea of how it compares to the original.
Some notes -
The battery fits the HD2 perfectly, it's not too tight or loose as some people have reported with third party batteries.
Sticker on the battery claims 1300mAh
Will update soon!
An update...
I'm charging for the first time, switched the phone on. My HD2's LEDs have flashing Orange then Green as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650507 (no the box to not charge when on isn't checked!)
When the phone is OFF it appears to charge normally (full orange).
This might be a faulty battery, can anyone who's ordered this from DX post about how their battery is performing?
Perhaps this is how 'unconditioned' batteries perform the first time they're charged?
I have 2 similar looking ones I got from ebay. They work fine, BUT for charging... the problem is the temp sensor being badly calibrated, and pretty much anytime the device is warmer than ambient temp (~25-30°C) the flashing LED problem comes up.
Put the phone in standby, screen down (for cooling), and don't charge via USB (when connected to USB the phone stays on i.e. heats up) but with the original charger.
I always charge my batteries (have FOUR of them, original + 3 chinese identical to the original, both by the looks and performance) and always charge them via the external charger. Faster, cooler, more pratical (since you can go away with the phone while the other battery is filling up), so never had any problem, ever
I just ordered two of them the other day. I can't wait until they arrive... The HD2's battery life is atrocious!
I just picked up this exact battery from dealextreme and have been using it for a couple days now and i'm having the exact same symptoms as described above....
It charged up alright the first couple days but it doesn't seem to charge now and the led flashes orange/green. It would appear to be heat related because if i let it cool a little it will charge... for a little bit anyway...
Is there an actual solution for this or are the batteries just complete garbage....
Just get the original HTC battery. All these extra mAh claims are BS. Unless of course you go with the larger extended battery.

Yep. I have a total of 5 batteries and I charge 4 externally before I go on trips.
After initial charging, they all perform just fine. Find a nice stable Android rom and monitor your power usage there.

Try that one 2300 mAh, works fine with windows but with sd android builds only few kernels have the support for that (hastarin), and with NAND andoids havent found any that supports it
It looks awful but it feels very good in hand...
Not thread hijack but here is some data you might have for use and you can stack it against it so other users who is thinking of buying can make good decisions. Now how does this stack up against Mugen Power 1300 mAh stock?

This SS is of Mugen Power 1300 mAh right after fully charged.

Okay so this morning after I replaced the Mugen battery with stock battery I fully charged it and took this screenshot.
From the looks of it both seems same and at this point I am totally convinced that the stock battery is better. This image on top I uploaded from work on my HD2 as I'm typing from there and my current charge is 83% at 5:53PM when I am submitting this post. So you tell me which is better.

HyperNode said:
Now keep in mind the stock battery is 1230 mAh and the Mugen power stock size battery was 1300 mAh. So the only difference here was 70+ extra mAh yet after extended test and usage I can respectfully say I got 3-4hours extra with Mugen than the stock size which is alot when you compare the batteries and its only 70 mAh extra which is nothing.
Now keep in mind from those SS the TBattery 0.60 does not verify the actual full mAh as its preset to the max of stock battery which is bug in the program. At the beginning to me it did seem the stock battery was superior as time went on and after many full discharges, Mugen power battery come on top.

My new Extended battery with stand!

Hey all,
Here are some pics of the new 2400mAh battery I got off eBay for $33 USD. Pretty sweet so far. Ran down to 1% battery after about 24 hrs, then ran another 18 hrs. I'm currently trying the "Battery Left" app to properly guage its life, as the built in monitor of the Streak allways thinks its the regular battery...
Its not the biggest extended battery for the Streak, but now I have it, and the original battery too, so I should be prepaired for any eventuallity.
Also the stand is pretty darn cool too. The whole thing makes is about twice as thick, tho. Not a problem for me, as I wear scrub pants to work with real loose pockets. Have not tried it with jeans yet...
My next move is to alter my Otterbox case to fit...
Here is the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180649529643&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

thanks for the photos, was thinking about getting this, but it looks to be about the same size as the mugen 4800 battery, and thats twice as powerful again. Think I'd sooner have that with it being the same size. I do like the stand though very nice idea.
I think the Mugen is twice the capacity , but about 4x the price. This was only $33. You could get several... plus, I figure I still have the stock battery so when this one dies I can pop that one in and get another good day of use...

yeah i'm just not one for carrying other batteries around, I just want one thats in all the time, to behonest I'm happy with the battery you get with, its lasts well over a day. yeah i know its a lot more expensive but probably get a week out of it which is amazing!!
A week would be awesome, but I get nervous if I don't charge it every night anyway...
Sent from my Streak using XDA app on StreakDroid 1.9
hey slaydog, please keep us informed about how many hours does the battery last. Maybe you can run some test to see if it holds its charge (like playing musics/video or browsing the net)?
Is the stand solid or fragile? Do you feel the streak more heavy with the battery on and most importantly, does the battery get warm a lot?
Just an update. New battery is working great! I still charge it every night, but I never worry about how much I use it during the day. I stream Sirius, play Podcasts, surf the web, YouTube etc... the stock battery meter sometimes shows the phone dead around noon, while my new battery meter when I plug it in at night still shows 60-75%
Does not get hot or make the streak feel heavier. It is bigger, though. I cut my Otterbox case to fit the new back and use the stand, so it looks like a tank! But the new cover is only a little thicker than the back of the case. Stand looks good and works good too. Very sturdy.
Using an app called Battery Monitor free, that shows actual batter %, the Battery Left app did not.
Anyway, certainly no regrets for $33!

Have you tried wiping the battery stats using StreakMod Recovery. It is on the advanced menu - pic here.
Also Battery Left has to be 'trained' by fully charging and then fully discharging the battery. It does show the % left and the time left. More info here. Developer FAQ
Thanks for the pics of the battery and the link.

cheers,

how does it even fit? mine came without any hooks of any kind it cannot attach at all. are the uk and us streaks different?
Mine arrived this morning from superetrader (via ebay)
didn't realise it was a cameron sinai battery, had some real issues with those in the past, if I'd known I wouldn't have ordered it...
But I'll test it for a few days and see how I get on.
Does this battery or the mugen 4800 still fit in the av dock?
the powermonitor in the EMlist reports this as 1446 capacity which is wrong,
I charged it with the streak off then wiped battery stats
its currently on 57% after 25 hours..
cover is pretty easy to dislodge (As its easy to grab), easily fixed in the 1.xx streakdroid roms as they disable the forced shutdown if that happens.
back does make a nice shape to hold.
so far not bad

First thing I tried was resetting battery stats. Don't know what that does, but didn't seem to make a difference. I properly did the training for Battery Left, I even adjusted the battery capacity setting, but the numbers given still only varied slightly from Android's.
Still loving it, BTW...

Anyone got an update?
If you bought this battery I have some follow up questions.
1) Are you still using it?
2) Are you using it as a spare or your everyday battery?
4) How accurate is the battery meter on the phone when using this?
3) What are the pluses?
4) What are the minuses?
5) Is the cover part of the battery or a separate piece?
6) Any problems with the cover coming loose?
7) have you modified a case/cover for your Streak to use with this? If so, which one?
Thanks for the feedback.
I use mine maybe once a week,
used it quite a lot while in netherlands, battery life is definitely better than stock one.
cover hasnt come undone by itself, and now I hold it properly its ok
battery levels appears to be down to the method of calculation that wont account for extended batteries, so 100% is 1500 mah or so no matter what, I've found the battery drops to 1% then keeps going for quite a while

Replacement Battery?

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for my phone? All of the ones I find are sketchy on Amazon, and the official Lg one is hella overpriced

i've never trusted those gold batteries, i wanted to wait for one that seems decent, with a max of 1800mAh based on size i would expect thats the highest you could get into a battery that size.

Cool, as new batteries go i expect you got to charge them a couple of times to get the correct usage average. first drain still surviving, @30% now but that was with a few benchmarks after testing a few things for Stonebear last night. will probably start charging again at about 12% later today.

Reason why i dont get one of those batteries is because i dont want to carry around a Nokia P4000, start to have hip problems carrying something that big around. ( rather just carry one of these so i can charge my phone and psp on the go) that way i can still have my sleek O2x without the bulky back cover.

im using 1900mah batery.. it quite stand up until 1 day half.. :good:
Final drain test on new battery,
full charge gives me 4180mV
thats at a average of 1746mA +/- 24mA
will look into performance and battery life now that i've charged it a third time. and report back
I bought a "2400 mAh" battery from MyTrendyPhone (large Nordic/European online store for phone accessories).
It turned out to be 2800 mAh. Probably mislabeled by the store rather than the manufacturer. It's actually this one:
http://shop.onni-tec.de/Handy-Akkus...imus-Speed-Li-Ion-fat-Rueckdeckel::10090.html
Does anyone have any experience with this particular battery? Will do some non-scientific, subjective testing of course. Bought it on a whim because I got tired of my O2X dying halfway through the day (I'm quite a heavy user, it's literally down to 40-50% by lunch time). If it isn't much of an improvement, no great loss. It makes the phone more "substantial" but the difference isn't that great and the back cover seems to be quite good quality (also it offers far better protection of the camera lens than the original cover).

Usage Test
That Battpit Battery, 1800mAh.
Under medium to heavy usage.
listening to music 3-4 hours, Internet browsing, average 5-6 hours, videos 20 minutes, 5 calls about a minute each, 15 - 20 texts. bit of wifi, but most of the internet browsing was done under 3g.
i'll get a more standby focused battery life over the next couple of days.
ordered a 2400 mah battery.
should arrive in 2-5 days.
gonna make a review video.
I used a duplicate high capacity barrios like this and after fee days my phone used to drain without any use also and it used to heat up also went to lg care they told mother board is gone due to.difference in voltage maintenance as I used not the stock one they told use only stock batteries other high capacity battery will ruin your phone hardware...my phone used to die in Lees than 10 hours whether I use out or not...now it last more than 2 days those people who were telling there phone last more than a day I used to think they always lied.got my mother board changed from lg cost me around 50$ but more now phone is like brand new last more than 2 days and stand by station is like 1% in 8 hours..but stock batteries and go to lg care ask them is there any problem in your phone hardware ....trust me that's the solution

Screen flickers then phone dies while browsing over 3G

Phone is on stock ICS 4.0.3. It's 10 months old and only exhibited the issue just recently.
While browsing using Dolphin over 3G the screen flickers while the page is still loading. The battery charge starts dropping quickly until the phone turns itself off. When the phone is turned on again after a few minutes the battery level is back at half. A check of the battery usage history shows a very steep drop followed by a rise back to mid levels even without charging. A full charge usually lasts 2-3 hours of continuous browsing.
Changed to Chrome and it still flickers. I charged it while off overnight once and will continue doing so until it behaves. Any other suggestions?
Our service has been erratic for a while though. The provider is upgrading some base stations. Could this be a factor?
It seems to be a battery issue

I'll try that. It does keep a good charge if left sleeping. I checked the usage and it was awake only intermittently with the internet off.
There are instances where signal strength drops though that's why I also suspected the provider. Games also do not affect the battery that much.
Got a shot of the battery usage:

The steep drop happens while browsing. What's weird is that the battery magically recovers some of its charge after 3g is turned off.
The battery is also not flush against the chassis at the bottom part. It seems to have a slight bulge on both sides. Oh well hope the warranty is worth something
[SOLVED] Screen flickers then phone dies while browsing over 3G
Bought a new OEM battery for around 40USD with a 6 month warranty. It's behaving itself for now. Problem is the battery I got was produced in the same month as the original battery. Hope it lasts longer.
The sales person said it could have been caused by a few bad habits:
- charging while using the phone (guilty)
- charging overnight (guilty but I thought the charger turns itself off after the battery's full?)
So now I turn off the phone while charging.
I have the same issue of the screen flickering and as I see from the above posts, it is a battery issue. My battery has bulged A LOT. My phone is currently at the Samsung service center for the same problem. Will Samsung replace the battery under warranty? My 1-year warranty expires on November 20 (6 days from today)
It looks like Samsung only warranties batteries for 6 months

DAMN! Let's see what they have done when I get my phone back from the service center

Ultra Portable Battery Pack

Hopefully someone here can help. I absolutely love my s6 Edge. What I don't love is the battery life. Today I took it off the charger at 6:40am. By 3pm I was down to 31%. I fully charged it and at 11:20pm I'm down to 18%. I'm looking for an ultra portable charger. Something small that can give me one full charge. Small enough to fit in my pocket and wouldn't be noticeable or uncomfortable. Preferably with a built in cord.

best portable battery charger. it has Qualcomm's fast charge 2.0 to charge your phone and it will charge itself using fast charge too. its also aluminum.
I have the LithiumCard and love it for it's portability.
http://linearflux.com/lithiumcard/main.html
The PRO will charge the S6 Edge fully once. The regular LithiumCard will give the phone about a 40% - 45% charge which is usually more than enough to get me through the rest of the day should I need a quick top off. Best thing is they have a built in USB plug for charging (can do pass-through charging) as well as a micro-usb so you don't need to carry any extra cables. They charge the phone fairly quickly also.
When I want a little more juice that can do two full charges, I carry this. It's a bit bulkier than the LithiumCard (but in no way considered bulky compared to other power banks, IMO) and it usually stays in my backpack/briefcase/etc. This also supports Quick Charge 2.0 (Fast Charge)

Just wanted to post this 3000mAh lipstick sized battery back-up. It has worked great for us and we have used it for about 3 to 4 months now. It was one of the only really small sized 2.1A battery back-ups I could find. There are a few listed here so if you like it make sure to select the one that currently costs $12.99 the others are only 1A chargers. We like this one so much I have ordered 4 to give away as gifts.

does anyone know if there is a fast charge power pack with at least 15000mah capacity with a screen saying output and charge left? big ask?
been researching for a long time and haven't found one that actually states it has all of the above…

I have just ordered this and will review it when it arrives. I had the aukey but didn't like that for a battery that size it only had one usb output. This one also supports QC2.0 to charge the pack itself.

I used a custom ROM because I wasn't interested in wasting money on a charging case. If you take the time to read up on that stuff it's actually very useful and free! My battery has never been better.
I would send you a link but I'm new to the XDA group.

I've never had bad battery life on my S6 Edge. Although, when I need a backup I can recommend the Aukey Quick Charge battery pack.
