[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Hi there friends, just upgraded firmware from KE8 to KF3, and have lost root. So have to root again. Pls confirm if the procedure for rooting and removing the yellow triangle after root is exactly the same as done before using CF method? Are these the kernels to use:

Kernel to flash while rooting with Odin: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.tar

and for reverting to stock kernel to remove yellow triangle : I9100XWKF3_Kernel.tar (Intratech's thread)

If you confirm that the above two files are the correct ones, I'll go ahead and root. Pls advice. Thanks & Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes just follow instructions

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Ok. Done already. I guess if you've done it once, you can do it n number of times. Was just being careful :) Now to find out what are the changes in the new KF3 version. Will check the threads already there on KF3 now. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Just one question, now the flashing counter would show the number as 2...right? Since this is the second time I've flashed. Does this flash counter have any significance? If so, then what? Is there any limit to the number of times I can flash or are they limitless?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Limitless 1 voids your warranty 2 voids your warranty etc. etc.

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Is there a way to root w/o upping the flash counter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
I guess, there isn't. But I believe you can set back the counter to zero again using jigs. There are much more knowledgeable people here on this forum regarding this subject, they'll correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Reset Binary custom rom counter post in dev sections .

basics are use the usb recovery jig to boot and it clears the counter to zero .

[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
bought one too lol. gonna see if it's legit. doubtful though.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Gooooojjjjjiiiiiirrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Reminds me of those gizmos you plug into your cigarette lighter that are supposed to double your gas mileage. :)

But hey, it's a "Business Battery" so it's probably legit. :D

Here's a clue. When you get it weigh it on a gram scale. See how much difference there is between it and the stock battery. That will likely approximate it's actual capacity. Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] kawasaks:
no offense but that label looks fake to me...

character set looks like Chinese.

also japan do not sell sensation yet. an not plan yet so it is hard to believe it is from japan.

i do have sensation but i got it from hkg.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
That seems bizarre even in the world of battery scams. You think a Chinese company is putting "Made in Japan" on the battery, or is a Japanese company putting Chinese characters on it? Obviously it can fool Westerners, but it seems like a really, really dumb mistake.
[HTC Sensation] Yori-:
i was doing research on this battery for last couple days as well, then i came to a couple threads with people ripping off that "gold label".. and it says something like 900mAh.

I mean if its truly 2430mAh that's great, but i ended up getting the Chichitec 1900mAh battery because of reputable reviews. Just a heads up. If you guys google for 2430 Gold Battery, there are threads about it
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Some Chinese and Japanese characters are very similar or the same.

That said, regardless of what is printed on the battery, this still seems like its too good to be true.

Unless HTC used junk cells on their OEM batteries and these batteries are top of the cells its highly doubtful that a no-name battery will have a >55% increase in capacity without any physical size increase.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Totally agree. That 2430 mah stamped on it is the biggest warning sign of all. It's got scam written all over it.
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
Went through some of the feedback regarding this battery, several stated it was tested at only 1200-1300mAh..
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
This is my biggest worry about no-name batteries. Even if I didn't get the capacity as advertise, but got something very close to the OEM capacity I would call it a draw.

Buying something that is advertise as >OEM, and then to only find out in reality its closer to 60% of OEM capacity sucks.

Knowing me, if I was really drawn in, by either clever marketing, a fancy site, or unverified reviews I would try to convince myself that it was performing better than it was. 'Optimizing' my usage pattern for the battery...:mad:
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
I read reviews on this battery for other devices mainly the desire and user reported its about the same as stock but no noticeable difference :/
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
Is it supposed to be the same size?
[HTC Sensation] KT:
did you get yours yet? any result updates for us?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] genuineLeland:
yeah, anybody get theirs yet and confirmed the battery specs?
[HTC Sensation] umka83:
Yes Chinese only has ieroglyphs, while Japanese has ieroglyphs and kana (kidn of alphabet)

but font-types are very different. The bettery has japanese characters on it but printed using Chinese fonts, which Japanese will never do. Also the gold embalation is very suspisious. usually it is just black.

Further more, cell betteries even for Japanese phones are rarely made in Japan. most of them come from abroad.
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
I've yet to receive the battery mate, will update once i've tested it out... :)

I would ask for a refund or exchange immediately, if you haven't already done so.

Ultra high capacity rubbish IMO

@IGstarr

thanx for feeding back on this mate, return it asap, cut your losses to post only :)
[HTC Sensation] IGstarr:
haha I've now got two e mails

(excerpt email one) "try cleaning the battery contacts with a pencil eraser to remove chemical which were left behind during manufacturing"

surprise surprise that has brought nothing

(excerpt email tow)

"We can request a refund for this transaction and will no longer ask you to send the item to us since sending it back will cost you much on the shipping".

" We hope that the resolution presented warrants a positive feedback and a five star rating"

Five star's for what ???

anyway I hope that I get my money back quickly
[HTC Sensation] waveznyc1:
tried both... anker & 2340mah!

i have tried both anker 1900 and this 2300ish japan one...

sync 2 email accounts.... google+ sync ... tons of text and a few phone calls and about 40 pages of web browsing

anker 1900 ---- 20 hours at least every single time

2300ish Japaneses battery --- under 8 hours!

Anker is simply awesome!
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
I nearly pissed myself at the thought of the size of that battery if it truly was 2430mah batter. Thing would look like a car battery.
[HTC Sensation] esnw33430:
lets test it and see!!!!!

hello guys

been a hd2 owner for a while and now have my Sensation, I saw this battery and thought id give it a go.....

so its been used for a whole week and i think its the same as the stock cell......

So lets test it shall we?

Its on my cell checker now so I'll have some real stats for you very soon, oh and lets have some undressed pics too shall we (including the cell part number that a search reveals nothing for :) )

Be back with the juicy stuff real soon
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
This is why i never order stuff from asia. Most of the time it sucks or doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] :
I guess your mum is pretty busy, making clothes, growing herbs, creating string long enough to tie two tins together so you and friends can communicate together no matter where you are? Sensation and its owning corporation are Asian made so are you just trolling these threads? Nothing worse than a hypocrite!
[HTC Sensation] gottabekin:
How do you not do that?? 99% of things are made in China (maybe not 99% lol).
[HTC Sensation] alexkit14:
and he's quite the dumbass too. most manufacturing is done in asia these days. regardless of where u are, u'll be buying or 'ordering' stuff that has components if not completely from Asia.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Yes made in China by supervision of HTC,Intel,Apple or other non Chinese company.

China is good at copycat but if they make something it's always crappy quality.
[HTC Sensation] gottabekin:
According to your last sentence all those companies you mention make crappy quality merchandise. I can hardly believe that. What an ignorant guy.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
You will be surprised how many Chinese work for HTC, Intel, and Apple. Well, HTC is a Taiwanese company, which means that it is practically full of Chinese.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
We all know what kind of company they are talking about. There is a huge difference between a factory in China making things under specific guidelines for apple vs the one down the road making everything the first factory is making, as cheaply as humanly possible, functionality be damned, to be sold on ebay until the account is closed for fraud.
[HTC Sensation] esnw33430:
ok so cycled the battey somemore and it is indeed BS, 1042mah is the best it can do......

so i wonder how this is gonna end? :)

i wouldnt bother buying this if i were you lol
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I wish I'd have known before I bought two of them.

That's about what I'm seeing capacity-wise.

Let's see if I can get my money back.:o
[HTC Sensation] esnw33430:
replacement

ok so i contacted them and i been told that they are sorry the battery is not working correctly, i'm being sent a new one to try.......

test number two.......:)
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Same here.

I wonder what they'll send this time?
[HTC Sensation] ziggimon:
I tried a Chinese iPhone battery once.. worst spent money ever.. after 2 weeks the battery started crashing :) I'll stick to legit batteries :)
[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
I've been buying extra batteries for all my phones from Taiwan on ebay, and I have yet to get one that has been bad. They all give at least 1 yr service life before they degrade, and at less than $5.00 per battery and free shipping. You just can't beat it. I'll never pay $40.00 for an original battery.
[HTC Sensation] Jammo:
Just got this super duper ''japanese'' made battery. Gently removed the ''gold'' sticker to see what's inside. WOW a wide black plastic frame and the battery itself is just around 66% of the entire frame size.

So, anybody still want a fake battery? I could send it anywhere for only the shipping price LOL. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Jammo:
So far i am getting an average of 1316 mah with this battery, i am using current widget and battery capacity calculator. I am at third charging cycle. Far away from 2430mah Huh? I will keep you in touch with more results.
[HTC Sensation] alienhunt:
I got a free OEM 2400 (or maybe it's 2300, I forgot) maH when I bought my unbranded Sensation in mainland China. It works MUCH better than the stock HTC battery, and I know because it lasts easily a few hours longer. I'll post a pic if someone really wants to see it.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Pull the sticker off the battery, and see the true value of the battery written underneath ;):p
[HTC Sensation] Jammo:
Sometimes you will find nothing underneath. That's what i've found with the one i got :rolleyes:

2430mAh.. No way! :(

Same size as stock battery?
[HTC Sensation] kfjunky:
Was stupid enough to buy before I read this thread.

This seems to be the same battery as Anker or Momax with 1,700 MAH.

Sent a note to ecell, but they claim that since I peeled the sticker, my warranty is not valid. :eek:

Who could find out what this really is without peeling???
[HTC Sensation] jdaclutch:
The characters are Japanese btw. Just saying.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I love how they wrote "Sen sation" :D
[HTC Sensation] umka83:
I do not get this, I wanted to try this out but

1) It is made in Japan - but nowhere to be found in Japan

2) The ebay seller explicitly says he would not ship to Japan

is it some kind of product-forbidden-for-natives ???

btw, the text is in Japanese but the font seems to be chinese
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I've got four of them.

Two were sent as replacements for the first two after I complained.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I'm trying the Anker now and I think the guys are right.

Read this:

[HTC Sensation] bootsmd:
:D Thanks for the info! I thought It was a fake battery from China :mad: It's impossible to make that high capacity battery in same size of stock battery :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Krayol:
Didn't spot this thread originally, but I'll add my vote now. Stay away. Cheap, but smaller/lighter, minimal capacity (<1200mAH), no temperature sensor (always 25C).

Search the other threads (Ankher, etc), and you will find a few excellent batteries. Sorry to say that these are still being sold on ebay.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
This thread reminds me that the world is a Gaussian function.
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Just my input here, I purchased one of these about 3 weeks ago:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260856948426/

It arrived yesterday, definately noticibly heavier than the Stock battery. (but hey I like heavy phones!) Battery Widget reports it at 1580 although I have no idea if this is set somewhere else, I am trying to run it up and down now but left it to fully charge with the phone off last night so it might take a while.

I think I got mine for £3 before he put the price up, disturbing that he has no negative feedback so I am going to do my best to test this battery out as much as possible, if its not as advertised in the slightest he will get negative feedback from me.

I deleted the entire Battery widget data, wiped battery stats from every place I could thnink of so it might need a few cycles to sort its life out.

I might ramp up the CPU speed and get it google Navigation going, but I don't know if that will mess up the results.
[HTC Sensation] Tromador:
I believe this figure is hardcoded with the Sensation, irrelevant of what the capacity might actually be - which is why battery widget allows you to manually input the battery capacity.
[HTC Sensation] mrew42:
Not that bad especially via Amazon

I got one from Amazon and it does far better than the stock cell.

paste this at the end of an amazon product search B005O8SA2S (i'm a newb here and they wont let me post URLs yet)

Far far better in fact. I went 2 days 11 hours between charges over the weekend. Admittedly there was little use but I never got that out of the standard cell.

Best thing for me is that on a normal days usage for me it doesn't need recharging before I leave the office for my commuting music and surfing.

This is why I bought the Mugen 1950... It's actually 1950 (easily more).

I get a good 16+ hours of heavy usage from my Mugen, so for me to sway away from this battery, it would have to be a seriously good legit battery well above 2Ah.

[HTC Sensation] godlike99:
hi guys,

i saw the thread here about this battery... i bought one 2 months ago and I have no problems with this battery.

on same use i can say this:

original battery: 15-20h (normal "i know its subjective" use...most of the time standby)

gold battery: 3day (same use)

I stucked my phone today at 9.00am, and now after 6h still 100%. I did 5min calls, 10min surfing, 5 min reading/writing...internet most of the time disabled.

I orderd this battery on amzon Germany.

Is there no tool out to test the battery capacity? so i will make a try to confront orginal and this one.

thx

around 20-24hr of light usage
[HTC Sensation] jmpmjmpm:
this guy has done what from what I can see is as scienfitic and controlled a test as any, and the "fake" gold battery appears to have won! is it a fake capacity? yes, is the anker 1900 a fake capacity? yes, is the stock sensation battery a fake capacity, well, maybe, but only a little

http://www.wheelchairdriver.com/HTC-Sensation-XE-Battery-Test.htm

I bought one of the gold ones for my XE but I suspect it is probably only on par with the stock xe battery so I'll probably put it in my Sensation

really surprised about the anker though, glad I didn't get it, at least the cheap gold one is half the price for better results

only problem I can see with his testing is that he should have had at least 5 of each battery sourced differently to get a more conclusive picture but I think its the best test out there to date.

could the reason for the increased capacity with the gold battery be that it is li-po vs anker and stock li-ion? he testing kit seems to suggest li-po
[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
Great find!

Wish he would've tested stock evo3d battery
[HTC Sensation] Alex530:
Hahaha I can do that with stock battery if I don't turn on the screen like you.

The battery fully ended the next day at arround 00h20 Monday.

Used some applications, Web navigation, emails, SMS, Wifi, GPS, Games...

I think it's a really 2430 mAH Li-Po.

If the size is the same as the stock one - the 2430 mah will be just a fake value. Period :)

Sorry, but you are wrong. This battery is not Li-ion to be compared with size. It's a Li-Po Battery and you should read about the difference. More mAH in less size than Li-Ion.

Today, after testing, My Battery is at the moment I'm writing the reply, 16h20, at 16% since yesterday at 7h30 from charger.

Yesterday, a lot of emails, twitter, facebook, Web searchings, Applications, Sms, one call, Wifi, Camera, Bluetooth file transferts,
