[LG Optimus 2x] whitemusketeer:
After using this battery (1980mAh from obostore) for some time now, I think it is time for a little summary :)

It had about 8-10x charges (always from <20% to 100%) so it should be at normal capacity.

There are some +/- but all in all I am satisfied with it.

It does not get hot during charging (at leat not any hotter than the standard battery).

Charging time is about the same.

You can use it down to 1% (or 0% if you will), at least that is what "Battery Indicator" says.

There is no chance that this battery has "real" 1980mAh because the extra 480mAh are not really noticeable, imho.

Maybe I get 2-3h more out of it but it really depends on your personal usage of the phone.

One more thing thing is that the displayed battery temperature is NOT correct.

I've noticed that it is always stays around 22-23°C.

One time I used the phone for about 20min with GPS in my car, phone was in direct sunlight and the device was pretty warm.

Battery temperature said 23.3°C -> no way this is correct...

My conclusion:

I can recommend this as an affordable spare battery with slightly more capacity than the stock battery depending on the phone usage.

I would definitely buy this one again just to have a spare battery ready.
[LG Optimus 2x] spadb:
I brought one of these, hoping for a 23% increase in battery life, but was soon disappointed, in fact I’d say it’s worse than the stock battery. I does come well presented in a plastic box within cardboard sleeve and a hologram! But it is not better than the stock battery. To aid my suspicions I weighed* both batteries and the stock 1500mAh is 31 grams and the Andida 1980mAh is 30 grams! I know weight isn’t everything and they could be using a different chemistry but I doubt it, I don’t think you can cram in an extra 480mAh and keep the same size with current li-ion battery tech.

I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and take it off my charger at 7:30am, and it’s almost gone at 18:00 (after low battery warnings, and flashing battery icon) needing a top up, so that’s a full charge over night, then a boost late afternoon. My stock battery is about the same if not slightly better. I can get over 12 hours with both batteries if I don’t use it much; answering texts reading email, checking the news, occasional phone calls and I rarely play any games. This is no way a high capacity battery over the stock one, but that’s my belief. That said, I still love the phone. Hope you find this useful.

* Calibrated the scales and weighed each battery 3 times to ensure accuracy.
[LG Optimus 2x] JayXL14:
Is this the Andida battery you guys are talking about:

http://www.obostore.com/1980mah-andida-spare-battery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p-1305.html?t=10304

$9 for a battery is VERY cheap and reasonable.

For my Desire Z, I also had the extra charger.. Any batteries with that available?

I am looking for an affordable battery that can keep up with stock, but is SAFE and doesn't destroy the phone lol.

Also, there is this one:

http://www.amazon.com/ProdiCell-Pre...NXXE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312518944&sr=8-1

Thanks and let me know what you guys think!
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
I am on the my charge of the 3500 mah extended battery from ebay. I'm pretty impressed so far. It makes the phone look like its from the 90s and quite thick but its worth it for the extra battery. Mine has been running for almost 2 days now and I still have around 30%. I'm using it the same way as before.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
the only problem is the size right? now the phone looks like nokia 2200 and not like a 2010 smartphone :-)

also which case are u using now if using at all?
[LG Optimus 2x] ritdaw:
Well I'd say there isn't a lot of difference to be honest. The only thing I've noticed is that it doesn't get as hot as the original....
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
I am not using a case, just a screen protector. It is quite thick but I don't mind it too much. I've had to charge the phone 3 times in one day before if I used it a lot :) I'm pretty sure I could use this all day and it would be ok.
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
following from the other day I have attached a screenshot just before I charged the extended battery from eBay

the screen was on almost 4 hour

The spikes are from misreadings of the battery level

I hadn't charged the battery
[LG Optimus 2x] sashamedovarski:
Which exatcly cm7 rom you using for 40h battery remain???
[LG Optimus 2x] sander-m:
Does somebody know if this andida battery is a good one? I'm very interested. I have also found a 1800 mAh battery for less than 10 dollars. Is it reliable and safe to use?

I don't believe they have higher capacitiy while they do have the exact same dimensions.

edit: I see some comments are contradictory/inconsistent. Could someone make clear (since we are a few days later) if these batteries are reliable or at least not worse than the original? I would be pleased.
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
No problems with my Andida. Yes it has some more juice than the original. Only thing that doesn't work is the temperature reading. It's a good battery and I prefer it over the stock one.
[LG Optimus 2x] sander-m:
Okay thank you for the response. I think i'm going to buy one.
[LG Optimus 2x] georgiosm:
ZDbox on my LG is reporting temperature with Andida.
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
Zdbox is reporting the same temperature as Battery monitor widget pro. This reading is not correct, it's to low.
[LG Optimus 2x] aquaman0812:
Just received this battery today n charged it directly n full in 3,5 hrs.

How long should I charge it for the first time?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
until its 100% :-) or 4196Mv~~~

download any-kind of battery monitor

i suggest (originally by others here in the forum) to charge 15-20min after you see 100% this will ensure full load.

please remember that changing battery to non-stock will require you to do battery calibration, in order to get the full power from it.
[LG Optimus 2x] aquaman0812:
Thanks shpapy. Btw, how to calibrate the battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
there are numerous ways to achive it here are the simple ones.

1st u must have root

1. download from the market free app called battery calibration, follow the gui to achieve it.

https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

2. u dont feel like adding another app to youre phone, boot to CWM goto advanced and select clear battery stats.

3. u dont feel like booting / downloading also good :-) open file explorer mount as R,W and delete the file /data/system/batterystats.bin

hope i helped.
[LG Optimus 2x] aquaman0812:
Of course it helps. Many thanks shpapy :)
[LG Optimus 2x] montresor60:
I received one of these last week but it has been a great disappointment.

Shut down and removed stock battery at 1%

Inserted fully charged (overnight in external charger) Andida battery

Rebooted phone in recovery mode. Deleted battery stats. Rebooted phone. Battery percentage showed... 1%

Phone shut down within minutes.

Inserted partly charged (30%) stock battery. OK.

Charged Andida battery overnight in phone to 100% Battery calibration app showed 4181 mV.

Poor general performance. Runs down quickly. Low confidence. Tried a few cycles but no improvement.

Reverted to stock battery. No problems.

I do not recommend this Andida battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Just as a sidenote on changing batteries: If you do it too quickly the phone will not realize you have changed it, and will not update the battery percentage.

So whenever you're changing battery, wait at least 30 seconds after removing a battery before inserting a new one.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
you are correct, but it dosent really matter since this battery is well known to be SH%$# one.

there are better high capacity ones.
[LG Optimus 2x] montresor60:
OK. Good tip. I might give it one more try. But...

I meant to say; it should have been 100% but the meter showed only 94%. Left to charge to 100% in the phone but it quickly went back to 94%

Funny thing is, and I think it's been mentioned; the packaging of this battery is very impressive. Unfortunately, the contents are much less so.
[LG Optimus 2x] aquaman0812:
It shows the condition after calibration. I find no problem with the battery yet. Hope it won‘t.

[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Is it better to buy this battery or for 10bucks I can get 2x1800mah battery + desktop charger shipped from ebay?

I don't think its a real 1800mah, but I can get two of those plus a charger at the same price as 1 andida battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:

[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

A while ago (around end of August) I bought an Andida battery that claims to have 1980mAh and I felt it gives me marginal better/longer battery life - so far so good.:)

After last update to the latest uv-ironkrnL-mod(version from 23rd of Dec) by vodonka (see my sig) I changed back to the stock battery (fully loaded in external charger and wiped battery stats - of course) and got SODs - especially when activating/deactivating Bluetooth and/or wlan but also out of the blue...:( I tried it for 2 battery cycles - but I got SOD - very annoying.:(

After changing back to the Andida battery didn't have SOD/BSOD or end call issues again - it seems the battery gives me more stable voltage - I assume...:D

And it gets less hot than the stock battery while charging - meaning to the touch - not the not working/not existing temp sensor of the Andida battery of course...;)

So for less than US$10 including free worldwide shipping(from obostore) - this isn't a bad deal...:cool::D

[LG Optimus 2x] hiddendog:
I'm using it right now, it seem not much (or no) difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I've received this one days ago. I did 4 recharge cycles and made several tests starting from 100% with both stock and the andida one running "cpu stability" with "stablity test" app for 30 minutes each time.

The andida resulted to retain just 3% more charge, considering I had the stock one for about 6 months and lithium probably lost its natural power with time + common accidental high temperatures I would say the andida one is just 1500mAh as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
% isn't an accurate way to measure. Go through your PC and find 4-5 hours of video and see which lasts the longest
[LG Optimus 2x] Electroman365:
So, Andida is better than Anker? Are there any other choices?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
I have seen some of the slowness in web browsing after the application of the leaked 3.1 update. This has been theorized to be slow javascript performance. I thought I would the defacto java performance test, Sun Spider. My run result was 2210ms and I wonder if someone on 3.0 could run the same test for comparison?

In comparison, Xoom 3.1 is reported to have a run time of ~ 2083 and the Ipad2 ~ 2097, lower being better. The TF should be getting results closer to the Xoom and for some reason we are not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
You do realize that you're talking about a tenth of a second here right? That could easily be just variation of network speeds from one minute to the next, etc. While it is slower, I wouldn't be worried about a tenth of a second and I'm not sure how much "closer" you could get without being exactly the same or faster
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mugen_Civic:
1980,7ms.

Stock 3.0.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
Yeah after I compared what I got on my Thunderbolt it is quite a small difference so either javascript is not the problem or the Xoom exhibits the same behavior. I would still like to see what a 3.0 TF would score.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
That's about a 12% difference. That's somewhat significant.

ifit from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
The AnandTech review was showing slower JS performance than 3.0 as well, wonder what the deal is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
To be honest, even a 12% difference is hard to call significant as you're not using controlled conditions at all. Who knows what was running the background from one test to another, from one user to another. I don't personally notice much, if any, difference
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
I haven't noticed an overall speed difference, but there are a couple of websites which are very slow coming up and they didn't have that problem prior to updating to 3.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
2321 on the leaked 3.1 version here
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Agreed, if it is noticeably slower then the problem is most likely bigger than a slight decrease in JS performance. Sunspider isn't even that great of a benchmark for everyday browsing situations.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
TF 3.0.1: 1958
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
E-PENIS TIME.

I get 1732ms with Aurora
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ShotEm:
Tf 3.0.1: 1960
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sapiers:
Seems like a craps test, ran it three times, first test just ran it after using my TF normally and got 2298 then I killed all processes and ran it again and got 1950 ran it a third time and got 1998 this is on 3.0.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ELTinos:
A (well-known) dutch site also did a benchmark with Sun Spider and Peacekeeper and I assume they checked all the variables and controlled the conditions. They got 1993 on Sun Spider, so 3.1 does seem to be a bit slower with 2200 on average as mentioned by users.

I saw somebody mention that Zinio is included in the 3.1 update. Is this correct?

I had previously installed it with directions here, but it's a little funky. First, it gave me about eleven sample magazine issues. The size of the magazines on the library screen seems to be a little off and the app is otherwise quirky.

Everyone experiencing this, or was it because I had the other version installed? Any way to fix this?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
As of today, Zinio is up on the market. Should be able to grab it on 3.0.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Yes, Zinio was part of the 3.1 update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Cool, I'll just remove it and reinstall just to make sure everything is okay.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echomatics:
It keeps freezing on me when I try to open a Magazine for more info. Cant delete it as well since it came with 3.1. Going to try to install it from the app store as it keeps telling me to update it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
I kind of wish all of these free applications weren't pushed out to us. Especially since you can find most of these apps on the Market if you want them anyway. I have no use for Zinio and don't feel like rooting just to remove it. Though, compared to my DX, I definitely can't complain about bloatware. And, to be honest, most of the "bloat" added by ASUS has proved to be quite useful
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogconnect:
Updated the version from market and it's works!

Free magazines.............hmmm....not bad!

Keep it up Asus...I love your bloat wares :)

First....free newspapers and now free magazines....hahaha....iPad 2 Killer!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Can anybody confirm that the preinstalled version includes the free magazine subscription offer detailed in Zinio's press release?

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...roid-market-for-tablet-devices-122859609.html

If not, might be worth trying to install the app first, then let it upgrade when Asus' update hits for the US market...

The free newspapers thing is a total waste of time for me -- seven free issues is next to nothing. A free two year subscription to one of 25 magazine (or is it all 25? The press release isn't clear) seems quite worthwhile though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurrpancakes:
I installed the application from the market, and I have 23 magazines in my collection, apparently. I don't thinks it's a year subscription, but just the most recent edition of each magazine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j-s-w:
Above link
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
I installed from the Market, much better. The 3.1 update must not have liked me already having it installed.

HOWEVER, it will let me uninstall the new one (the good version) but not the old version.

Any way to remove this without flashing my device? It's not a big deal, just an icon under apps but I'd like to get rid of it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
And suddenly the lightbulb came on. Of course you're right, the way it was phrased just threw me off. It's one issue of each magazine listed. (Well, they've actually listed 25 magazines as included, and per your own experience there are only 23 available, but near enough the same thing.)

...which to me is a complete waste of time, and makes me again wish Asus would stop jamming this bloat down our throats. Like the newspapers, it is one more thing I'll never use, and one more icon obscuring the apps I actually do want to use. (Not to mention wasting space and resources on my tablet.)

Thus far the only thing I've found worthwhile among Asus' preinstalled apps is Splashtop Remote Desktop, and that can currently be bought standalone for just 99 cents.

I really wish Asus would give us a version without all the bloatware installed, and just let us buy our own apps. Saving a few cents on the one app I do use isn't worth it to me to have all the other junk I'll never touch on there too...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Probably because Zinio pays them per install or account created from one of their devices...

(I'm guessing.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
You can freeze or uninstall it if you're rooted and have Titanium Backup (need Pro version to freeze)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Yup, that's usually the case with this kind of bloat -- the manufacturer gets paid to put it all on there, in the hopes that it'll lead to you paying the software company to use the product that's stuck on your machine.

I doubt they're getting paid much to stick all the junk on, though, and I'd happily pay $10-15 to have it all taken back off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
Actually had Zinio on my iPad and enjoyed it. Wife had cheap o magazine and I had car and driver magazine quite cheap.

As for splashtop our version can be set to the ASIs resolution of 1280x800 whereas the market version only goes to 1024x768. So I don't consider any of it bloatware but rather good apps I would have purchased anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Thanks.

Well, that kind of sucks. I don`t want to root just for that.

Keep getting error with preinstalled bloatware "zinio reader". I went to the market and DLd "zinio" which seems to be the same exact thing as zinio reader except a much larger app. The mags are free which is pretty cool but once they aren't free I'll be deleting that ish' stop the bloatware!!!

I used titanium backup, got rid of the one that was included with 3.1. Download new from market and it work much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstephen17:
Did a manual check for an update and it started downloading. Took less than five minutes to download and reboot. My initial thoughts:

Best part of 3.1 is that YouTube absolutely flies now. Even HD videos run smoothly with no lag. I've watched five videos with HD options and they worked fine. Connected it to my LG HD-TV and it worked like a charm on that too. My initial disappointment with YouTube performance in 3.0 has thankfully been addressed and I'm loving my Tranformer even more.

Not all widgets can be resized yet. Beautiful Widgets doesn't seem to work with the re=sizing feature but the stock Calendar widget does. Very nifty indeed, can't wait until all my widgets are able to use this feature.

I've only been playing around with 3.1 for an hour but so far, no major bugs. Performance seems about the same except for the noticeable YouTube improvement. ASUS came out with it pretty quick, which is very exciting to see.

I don't think I've seen a clear answer to this yet. Can anyone who does NOT already have Zinio installed (pre-update) confirm that they were able to get the free magazines when they upgraded to 3.1?

I won't be home to upgrade until tonight but I'm trying to figure out if I need to install Zinio before I upgrade to get the mags.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfodiz:
Yes I installed Zinio from the market after upgrading to 3.1 and setup an account and got 22 free issues. The Zinio reader app preinstalled on 3.1 said it needed to be updated and would not download any of my free issues and would FC.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omguss:
I did NOT have Zinio installed pre-3.1. After 3.1, I noticed "Zinio Reader" and opened it up to test it out. It would stall on me and say that I needed a newer version. I went to the market and installed "Zinio". I now have Zinio Reader as well as Zinio. Zinio (what I installed manually) works perfectly with free issues of magazines. Zinio Reader (what came with 3.1 update) does not work and refuses to work and wants to upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Strange Zino Reader works fine here and dosn`t ask me to update. 23 mags available to download.

I still installed Zino from the market and strangely got 25 mags, the extra 2 being Juxtopoz and Robb Report.

Both versions are not the same with slightly different interfaces.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Cool, so it's not just me. I did have the old Reader installed (using directions here on XDA.)

The Reader must have came with the 3.1 update. It works for me, but it is definitely older and less polished than the one you can download from the Market.

(The Zinio Reader does complain about an update, but you click past it. Maybe it's because I had it previously installed.)
