They claim 1900, they are consistently measured to be 1700mAh to 1730mAh on professional equipment. Take off the label, you will see "1700" on the battery.

None of them report correct temperatures.

Most of them have charging issues (e.g. staying at 99% while charging) which brings into question the quality of the charging circuitry.

If the charging-circuitry is not up to snuff, then it can overcharge and overheat. If it overheats and the temperature is not reported properly, you get no warning before your phone is fried.

The helpdesk replied to my email that 200mAh (the difference between 1900 and 1700) is an "acceptable margin", which also proves they aren't ISO certificied as they claim (or "ISO certificated" as is printed on their label).

Would you really risk your expensive phone just to save €10? Not me.
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Do you know where I can get the evo3d battery shipped to Germany? :) Did not find anything on ebay...

Sent from my HTC Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
You should be able to find it at any reliable phone dealer in Germany.

I bought it at DigitalsOnline.nl

But you can also get it at MobielBeriekbaar.nl

I believe both deliver to other EU countries. Contact them for the rates.

BTW, I notice that Amazon.de has them, but I do not believe they are genuine... the specs aren't consistent with the genuine battery. Personally, I would give Amazon and Ebay a very wide berth for any electronics purchases... it's filled to the brim with liars and scammers. Pay the couple of extra euro for honesty and good service.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
The phone does the charging...The battery only has an over voltage protection built in. They dont "like" to go to 100% because overcharging a Li-ion battery can blow up your phone. 99% might as well be 100%...If you are concerned, just watch for the battery voltage to get to about 4v. That is its peak voltage.

To back this up, my HTC battery ALSO stops at 99%. The only GOOD thing about HTC batteries are them reporting the correct temperature. Your hand will also know when things are getting too hot. I believe 60C is considered lethal. 45C feels HOT...Too hot, if you ask me. So when your phone feels hot, give it a break.

Sorry for having asked for the reason why the GPU overclock had been removed.

I got flammed in Faux123 Kernels thread for having dared to ask instead of reading the whole thread after having already read some 30 pages here.

So it was removed by Faux123 because it's supposed to be ineffective with 2.3.4, and **** all the tests and the visible results in N64oid and Nenamark2, let's say I was drunk and stoned to death or kidnapped by aliens.

This growing flamming atmosphere at XDA seriously sucks.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Yes you can, I personally use the Advanced Power Menu and Extended Settings + 4g. Works like a charm :)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
He said that he was having trouble getting it to OC correctly with the new code used by htc for 2.3.4.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
That's what I said! He's been pushing way too hard for that app.

I feel like its mal-modified and once everyone is on 3.1.0 he's gonna push the red button and everyone is going to explode to the moon.

If I was Mike1986 I would never add that **** in my ROM.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Something about going from fixed clock to variable clock I think. He's working on figuring it out I believe

[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Ok, so never charge your phone at night, or leave it lying on your desk, unless you keep your hand on it the whole time? WTF?

Look, the bottom line here is that HTC OEM batteries are quality checked, they label their batteries accurately, and they are fully functional and certified to work in their phones; whereas the Anker and Chichitec are not quality checked (capacity isn't right, temperature gauge is faulty), they *lie* about the capacity, they are *not* fully functional, and they are not certified to work in HTC phones. You simply cannot argue with these proven facts.

However, what you do with the information is up to you. I'm just offering my opinion, that supporting fraudsters and risking a very expensive phone for the sake of a few bob is not worth it.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
There are major problems with HTCs 2.3.4, how a developer deals with it is his choice.

On the other hand, you are the master of your own fate. If the hacked kernel with GPU overclock was working for you, there is no rule or law that says you can't continue to use it. Dev's try to do what they think works best for most users, but the best part of a truly unlocked phone is that you can mix and match to get exactly what you want. So it doesn't actually suck, you choose one thing over another.

You should also be on the lookout as other developers are doing kernels too. Eventually somebody will give you GPU OC with 2.3.4 source. You're not the only one who spends hours playing "Zombie vs. Zombie II" instead of dating, biking or washing your socks. :p

[HTC Sensation] jjdeveau:
The HTC OEM Battery's accurately report temperatures as they melt your phone*

You are so worried about temperatures yet the Anker runs Significantly cooler at all times over the stock battery. If it was reversed and the Anker ran at the same temp as the stock HTC battery and the stock was the one that ran the same temps as the Anker you would be in a outrage telling people how the Ankers were going to melt their phones. I live in Southern California, It gets hot. The stock battery's were running unacceptably hot. I bought the Anker have far better battery life and have never experienced the heat issues again.

The Ankers run between 1700-1900, they run cooler, Last longer, and you can buy three for the price of one oem.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
One more word to the OT theme battery:

If you want to build a battery with higher capacity, there are 2 ways to do this:

1) Make the battery physical bigger (like htc did with EVO3D battery: +1mm).

2) Make internal isolation in battery thinner. (i suppose thats what "real 1900mA" manufactorys do)

But, if isolation is thinner, you have a higher risk that the battery gets an internal short circuit. You remember these burning notebooks 1 year ago?

This might happen to some of these compatible high capacity batteries out there, especially when time goes by...:eek:

Be aware of the risk!
[HTC Sensation] Floris-k:
The change log on the first page states the next sentence:

- GPU 2D/3D is now same as stock (Due to screen tearing issues experienced by some users)

People had problems with screen glitches(colored stripes on the 2nd screen for example) and also black screen lockups. Hopefully it will be solved when the CPU is back to stock speed.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
See, you keep adding to your arguments after the fact. If your phone is heating up when you are NOT using it, then something ELSE is the matter. The battery aint going to use itself. So again, thats the phone's problem, not the battery.

The battery doesnt report the temperature, the phone does. It uses a thermistor to calculate temperature based on how much the thermistor's properties changed (due to heat). Ill bet the aftermarket batteries DONT have one installed in them. Again, who is to say they need to? Do you need to see the strip turn blue to know your beer is as cold as the rockies?

They dont lie about the capacity...At least, not Chichitec or Anker. They simply have a looser tolerance. Ill bet phones that the HTC battery isnt 1530mA (or whatever it is supposed to be) either.

You are pushing your opinions as facts, and they are not factual. They have some truth to them, but you are REALLY STRETCHING it.

[HTC Sensation] Harmveenstra:
Have a Anker too now and my phone is a lot cooler now then with the stock one, but only had it for a week and perhaps time will tell me different but happy for now
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
The problem, as explained to you this morning, is that many people have been reporting problems of corrupt graphics (screen-tears) as a result of the OCing of the GPU beyond its specs. I am one of them.

In the standard release of this ROM, the CPU is clocked at 1.5GHz, which is in accordance with the specs for the CPU. Other kernels are available if you want to try higher, but it won't work for everyone, hence it's not in the standard edition.

But in 3.0.4 the GPU was OCed significantly beyond its specs, which means a number of people were likely to encounter problems, and it turned out to be the case.

So either stick with this version, which has the GPU OCed to your liking, or get a different kernel/ROM which OCs the GPU the way you like it. Why should the developer produce a ROM just to suit you, which produces problems for many others?

So which one is it? ;-)
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Faux explained it in this post.
[HTC Sensation] rwt4jc:
I've had good service from my Anker. Definately longer lasting than the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
As far as getting flamed, you do know that nobody here owes you anything? They do this work because they want to, maybe a thank you or donation is appreciated, but you are not a client and there are no obligations.

I see so many whiny, sometimes angry posts from people who can't figure out why their very special personal needs and preferences aren't being satisfied. It truly makes me feel for the great people here who are pulling the train and get a lot of ****.

Figure out your own stuff, pick up pieces from different sources or get a book, learn coding and see what it takes.

P.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
The battery heats up as you charge it.

So the battery doesn't have the contact which reports the temperature. So the temperature reported is incorrect.

I don't normally stick my beer in my phone (well, not usually ;))

No, seriously, they lie. Not one of their batteries which was tested on professional equipment measured anything other than 1700-1730mAh. They do not produce a 1900mAh battery, they just stick a label on a 1700mAh battery. Peel the label off and you'll see. Also, if you measure the size difference between the HTC 1520mAh battery and the Anker battery, you will see that it is only about 10% bigger, which doesn't allow for 400mAh of extra capacity, just 200mAh. Seriously, they lie.

The 1520mAh HTC battery is consistently measured to be very close (within 30mAh) to 1520mAh. That's a max 1.9% variance, compared to 12% on the Anker.

The world is flat. The solar system has the Earth as its centre. Opinions, damn it...

:D True enough. Apologies for the OT.

Back to the topic of this ROM :-)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Good point. I dont earn a dime arguing about the freaking things...I guess I just hate seeing junk thrown around on here as fact.

Shall we end it on this positive note of agreement then? ;)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Just one thing: it's not Faux123 that flammed me, it's someone else on his thread.....that also was flammed by Faux123 himself a few post later, for something not relative to my post, etc. Maybe this explains why I was talking about this flamming atmosphere? That was not only refering to me indeed.

But you are flamming me too, pretending I am a no life with noone to date with, no socks to wash, etc, completly out of topic. just......WHY ? By pure pleasure? If you feel better doing this, no problem.

I appologized for having posted here because the answer and the reason were in Faux123 thread and not here, that's all, is that a problem too, or a sign of weakness to come and appologized?

Also since I had read 3 other guys wondering the same as me, and the answer had not been given here.... but OK, let's concentrate on the 200 posts about beat if you want ;)
[HTC Sensation] hyperhamster:
I've installed it, but I did not get a question to set this app as default... So I still have Location running when sensation is connected to my car dock... I don't want to clean all data. Any ideas?

Some of us go too long without our "flash-fix" is like going too long without a cigarette; we just get grumpy and irritable. In case you didn't notice- this thread really heats up with flaming and arguments riiiiigght before we get a new ROM to flash, then everthing cools off. As for me- I got the shakes and can't sleep waiting for my next fix. Hurry up Mike- before someone really gets hurt! :)
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Could we please stop the complaining about batteries and beats and just all be very anxious and anticipating 3.1.0 again :D?

[HTC Sensation] Bacaryu:
I noticed something in the 3.0.4 rom.

When i first installed this rom i tested it with cf-bench and i got an excelent score thats higer then samsung galaxy s2. After a while when i do the sameo test I get pretty low score. The only way i can get the score back up is by resetting daemon controller to a setting higher or lower. When i take a new test after this i get a high score again.

even a reboot of the phone wont fix the cf-bench score.

The time between the high and low score can be like 30 min or so. I don't know if anybody reported something like this about this rom (ican no reqd everything)

Anyway, this is a great rom ! A fix would be nice, i seem to notice it with the carrousel option when it is a little bit lagging that i need to reset deamon controller if I wish to have full speed of my phone.

Hey Mike,

Something to consider....I rolled back to 3.0.1 to try some battery testing (was running 3.0.4) and discovered that my WiFi calling issue that I had in 3.0.3 and .4 is gone. I see that one of the changes in 3.0.3 was an update to the WiFi calling app so I was hoping you might be able to put the old one back in 3.1.0 or the one after that. A few other users have seem to have had the same problem.

The bug I am referring to is when I am in a WiFi call and the speakerphone is activated the mic cuts out and the caller can't hear me.

has to do w/ you Google account and Sync. Go to settings adfn check if Picasa is syncing within your Google acct sync settings

It should be a real easy flashable "remove" add-on, if it is included in v3.1.0. I'll make a revert to stock HTC Music, if needed ;)

Keep up the great work Mike, hope your move went well, I was all excited to see a new release, then to try to hunt for it :eek:, then discover your comment about moving :)
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Yeah, I considered that but I was running 3.0.4 on a stock ROM for a day (battery life with Faux 0.1.0 kernel was brutal and got the random screen blanking). Stock was a little better (battery wise) but I did still have the WiFi speakerphone mic issue so I am pretty sure it has something to do with the WiFi app update Mike included in 3.0.3.

I am not a gamer so if anything after 3.0.1 ends up being not very stable or battery friendly (in an effort to appease gamers) I will still be very happy since 3.0.1 since it seems to be much nicer than OEM.

No question that balancing performance, stability and battery life is a daunting task for dev's and that makes me appreciate their efforts even more! I envy Mike's desire to stick with us and continue seeking perfection for our devices (even though now it's a little self-serving for himself since he has on his own!).

Looking forward to try 3.1.0.
