I've literally never read this and I'm a certified technician. The only benefits of Li-Po that I've seen is that they're more fire-resistant and can be flexible when it comes to storage. I've never seen that they somehow just have more charge in a smaller physical size than a Li-On. The only way I could see that is if the Li-Ons weren't packaged efficiently and there was empty space in them - meaning a lithium polymer version of that battery could have filled that space with more cells.

The other reason I find this magic hard to believe is that since they're potentially cheaper to manufacture than Li-Ons, wouldn't every cellphone manufacturer switch to them?

I'm not certain on this, but I've never read anything about Li-Pos that say "More amperage/hour in a smaller size".

Edit: The price is also questionable. Fourteen bucks for a 2400mAh battery? Doubtful, at best.
[HTC Sensation] c0dex:
juz bought that today, gotta try it now~
[HTC Sensation] MT4GS:
So how does it work for you?

I bought probably the same "Gold" one (although mine says 2450 mAh) and I'm using it for 2 days on HTC DoubleShot (details HERE)

Compared to my original stock battery it certainly is of larger capacity and after second charge it got me thru whole day with more than my usual usage (again - more details in the thread linked above).

If you don't mind to chime-in and add your opinion or thoughts to our thread it would be very apreciated, because as of this moment I am the only one trying this battery on our phones (the HTC DoubleShot aka T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide) and the more the merrier...

TIA! :)
[HTC Sensation] c0dex:
I have used that for about a week, and I was concerning about whether the battery is real or fake... The reason I say that because the battery I bought seems to have around 1200 mAh :(

I have searched that in ebay, and I found 2 'types' of this Gold 2430 mAh battery. Among these 2 'types', they look alike, but some details doesn't. Have a look at the following picture

From the above picture, you can see the difference

Well... may be you will say it's juz becoz of the picture compression, but if you look further, other than the fonts of the 'Sen sation' was bold, the letter "G" in the word "Gold battery" in these 2 batteries are not the same!

To summarize, these 2 batteries have the following differences:

1) Battery Title 'Sensation' Bold?

2) The stickers of the battery? (the covering part at the top of the battery)

3) Different Fonts??

To conclude, I think either one of the is fake, and the other one is real...

The one I bought is the right one: (tested, and it has a low capacity)

link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GOLD-243...ccessories&hash=item33742ac576#ht_2143wt_1420

The left one is: (I didn't buy this)

link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item2eb6335e16#ht_2266wt_1139

So, remember to check if its real or not before you buy~
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Or they're both fake. Seriously, you won't find 2400+ mAh in the same physical size for our Sensation. It won't happen.
[HTC Sensation] MT4GS:
Thanks for the answer.

It is not only letter "G" that's different, both have entirely different font types (although similar looking but certainly different).

The battery I bought and received is this:

(the one on the left of course)

I was running it on two full charges only so far, so I cannot tell much, but what I can definitly say after such short time is that "my" battery has much more juice than the original stock battery (of my HTC DoubleShot, not HTC Sensation of course). I don't know how much mAh it has exactly, it needs to be charged and discharged few more times before it "settle down", but compared to my stock 1500 mAh battery, this "Gold" 2450 mAh battery on it's second charge ever has already performed almost twice better than the stock battery with awake time 5hrs during 1.5 day use (while I have never reached 3hrs of awake time on stock battery). (details HERE) Which IMO indicates this battery's capacity as above 2000 mAh (if we assume my stock battery's 1500 mAh is correct and accurate capacity, which probably it is)

So, I'm guessing I was lucky and mine isn't fake.

Anyways, thank you very much for reply!
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
hi , i bought this battery but i am very deceived. :mad:

i got the same or less than my normal HTC battery. :(
[HTC Sensation] Datastreamx:
I don't want to be a Debbie downer but this was to be expected. I mean they are 10 dollar batteries for double the power of the stock battery. And the design is screaming "scam!". Especially since the letters all have different fonts and it ****ing says Sen sation. So many errors on it and so many variations on the same design.

1 and 1 is 2, guys. They obviously scams.

Also my stock battery has higher awake times than a measly 3 hours. My phone will last quite a while. Though I do use Juicedefender but that is just common sense.
[HTC Sensation] iok1:
Hi! With the sensation I got 2 batteries from the guy i got it from, the original and the G14 S560 battery. Been using my sensation for 2 weeks with both batteries and can't honestly tell a huge difference (And it's probably just a placebo anyway) What would happen if i took off the gold cover on the battery? Maybe it's a fake like most others.
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
i have tried ANKER 1900 and MUGEN 1950 and honestly they are the best .
[HTC Sensation] TONINO_CT:
have the same capacity as the original, no have 2430mah
[HTC Sensation] iok1:
Exactly the same for me, stock capacity. But i wonder why the "gold battery" is lighter.....
[HTC Sensation] Hitorijanae:
In the Japanese language, there are symbols called Kanji. They are used in the Japanese mainland along with Hiragana. These symbols are direct descendants of Chinese, and often have the same meaning or a similar one to the Chinese symbols. In essence, yes, those are Chinese symbols, used by the Japanese.
[HTC Sensation] cooljoe226:
I have bought the 2450mAh battery and it is absolutely amazing. It feels a bit more dense. I am currently on my second charge and it lasted me 17hours. Its still at 37% too!

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
How long did it take to receive that battery?
[HTC Sensation] Dr Diq:
I bought the Sen Sation 2430 mA one @ a local phone store over here for €10,-- ($12,54) and I'm very happy with it.

I can use my phone more than 20 hours till it's empty and I really use it.

In the weekend it's mostly standby and than it will take more than 48 hours to get the battery empty.

I don't know if it's really 2430 mA, but it's a lot better than the standard HTC battery!

I don't have the Sensation 2450 mA battery, so I can't say anything about that one.
[HTC Sensation] cooljoe226:
it took 10 days to ship here
[HTC Sensation] sb3n2:
I've bought the same "battery style" for Rhodium, Hd2 and Xperia x1 and the difference between the stock battery and the gold battery are minimal...

I've just ordered a Gold Battery for my Sensation. Hope that is not the same thing:confused:
[HTC Sensation] dazdeeuk:
Stick with Anker

Tried one of these 'gold batteries' and the Anker kicks its ass.
[HTC Sensation] GreatSudoku:
Mine came fast! I ordered a 3 battery & charger combo pack from an Ebay vendor in Georgia (USA). I placed my order July 3rd, received my package yesterday (July 7th). Considering July 4th was a holiday, it only took 3-4 Postal Working Days to receive.

I got my bundle for US$20. Even if they perform the same as stock batteries, that's a good price for 3 batteries and a battery-only charger.

When I have used the batteries for a longer period of time I'll post my resutls here
[HTC Sensation] JK4U2009:
NOT 2430, BUT 1992 mAh...

Ordered one of them a couple of weeks ago from China thru EBay and what a surprise: 1992 mAh after a week. Initially, the battery only rated 1200 mAh and I was sure it was a scam. But regular charge cycles and patience revealed this.

It might not be totally accurate tho - but I decide to trust the BMW-App. I can also contest to the phone lasting a full day now with WiFi, GPS and H+ running constantly.
[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
Probably fake reading.

Or you are lucky. You're the first in 60 ppl that posted here that gave positive feedback to this battery.

This video shows a 3gs battery which looks like a lot to the one described in this thread.

Anker battery & Elegancia Sense 4.1 3.7. 2und charge. Amazing battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Vegio:
I'll ask also here...

I have a Anker battery

what is the best kernel for the Sensation?

My goal is to reach a 14 hours of normal use: I wake up at 7 in the morning, then I need to use the phone until 20-21 in the evening... without changing battery if possible!

I'm not really interested in gaming
[HTC Sensation] dallashigh:
Best kernel for battery is usually Bricked. Screen is by far the biggest battery culprit. You're not going to get more than 4 hours screen use on a regular basis no matter which kernel or battery you have.
[HTC Sensation] johnyfly1:
It is fake,

I had similar battery on the wildfire s and It survived less than original battery...
[HTC Sensation] Vulpe:
i don't think this battery have a good life :)

So far, I'm not impressed. Screen at auto-brightness and after 50 minutes of screentime the battery only has 58% left.

I bought the "gold" battery for HTC HD2 year ago. After some testing, its capacity was appeared same as stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] Galvaneyes:
Hi, all. I think it will be more powerful to bought an Anker battery, because it was with proven quality. This is my opinion :)
[HTC Sensation] Chrisjee:
I used to have to gold battery but after 8 months round about the battery life dramatically drawned. Currently i am using the anker ones. Never been so much online as with those batteries.

I would suggest the anker ones, its 1900mAh but they last longer!
[HTC Sensation] 0911:
Got the gold ones a little over a month now, definitely more battery life over stock batteries, but if I had to do it all over again I'd go with two pairs of Anker with battery charger.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
hi

I flashed my defy using the nandroid backup with the fixed sbf attached.

and the phone bricked to the motorola start screen

looking up at the forums

I then tried flashing with the 2.3.4 orange version

and the phone flashed normally,

but as its the UK version of the firmware, I am now not able to connect to any of the mobile networks in india. and so I want to

downgrade to the original froyo that my phone came with..

the same

please help me

please
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boonhoong:
Did you flash the full sbf when you did this?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes the full sbf..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
please... guys....

why dont you read the big effing warning!

this is the warning:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
Downgrade to Froyo with Nandroid Backup + Fixed SBF

what you have to do right now,

you go and search edited leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 sbf for that.

the edited sbf gingerbread 2.3.4 automatically rooted.

but the problem is i don't have the link for that.

but i'm sure i ever see that in this forum.

why you have to search that edited 2.3.4 sbf?

because normal leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 can't be rooted!

if you cannot root, you can't install custom recovery..

if you cannot install recovery, you cannot restore froyo nandroid backup!

and froyo nandroid backup + froyo fixed sbf is the only hope right now.

sorry mate..

next time be prepared and be careful to read the warnings.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
see I was not stupid not to read the warning but, since my phone bricked after flashing the custom nandroid 2.3.4and the fixed sbf.. I tried flashig again with indian roms 2.2, but it would get stuck in the bootloader loop, then I had no choice but to flash with 2.3.4 full sbf and my phone came alive.. but for the network problem and the battery getting heated up, I loved the gingerbread

but I now need desperate help
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
okay mate, since you only have 3 post you cannot asking for help on devs section.

i'll try to help searching edited-rooted-gingerbread sbf for you.

hope they'll answer and give me a link.

here, i ask them in devs section:

after you accidently flash full sbf of leaked gingerbread 2.3.4​
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
thanks a lot, I am in the process now to flash to eclair.. and am downloading the cee froyo nandroid

how do I install the baseband ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
don't use ordinary eclair,

it's unique eclair with version 5 of CG31 and CG39,

use that unique full sbf eclair on the tutorial.

----------------

just download the baseband switcher apk, copy to your SD-Card,

then install, select your region.

you have to be get root, but don't worry,

because it seems Froyo CEE Nandroid backup already rooted,

just install and select your region.

happy to helps someone, sharing knowledge is caring.

you should do some, sometimes.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
god!!

double post...

sorry.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:

any idea why?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
is it usb debugging on? it should be on.

okay, if you have set it on,

try to set usb debugging off, then on again, it should be working.

if it still fails, close superoneclick, run it again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes usb debugging is off, I set it on and yep it rooted..

thanks again..

now just waiting for the nandroid froyo to get downloaded,

I don.t know how I can return the favour..

thanks a lot
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
GOD! i'm so sloppy.

i forget to add this line:

- select backup/restore, select restore, then select Froyo CEE Nadroid EDIT

go check the tutorial again,

sorry..

glad you haven't yet to that step, thats important!

please, confirm if you have read this
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
please, confirm if you have read the updated one
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes I have, I love you.. for caring so much
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
because if you do not do that step,

it will ruin what you've done so far..

will go to endless boot loop..

------------------

oh ya, some information for people like you who accidently flash full gingerbread

------------------

when you install CM7, and want to go back to froyo,

you can't use that method of nandroid backup of froyo + fixed sbf.

because CM7 using different custom recovery,

CM7 is using bootmenu (consist of special 2ndInit + newest CWM)

normaly, if people want to go back to froyo from CM7:

they go to from stock recovery, wipe data+cache, go to bootloader, flash full sbf froyo, done.

but, for you, it is different.

use the latest tutorial i gave you earlier.

you have to go to that unique eclair first,

and remeber when on that eclair do not play with camera.

i think that's chinese sbf, and some says chinese sbf could damage flashlight.

maybe i just wrong about that, but play safe is better for your camera.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
can I install CM7 to my phone after the steps you told me, go to froyo again,

and if I can how do I do that?

or you suggest I should not.?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
Yes, you still can use CM7

this tutorial is for your case only:

So you want to play again? Okay here CM7 tutorial for you..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
I tried to restore but it says mds mismatch?

what to do now
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
wait, whaat?

delete your nandroid on sdcard,

then copy it again..

maybe some of the files are corrupted.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astroblasto:
I love you, a lot!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
ok will do that and try
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
copying the files worked,

reloaded the files,

system recovery

and the wiped the data and cache

then restored the nandroid

and then flashed the fixed sbf

now the phone is rebooting

but is stuck at the motorola screen

how long do I wait?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
also the rsd lite says please power up the phone

in process
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
system recovery?

or custom recovery?

if it's more than 5 minutes on motorola logo,

there's something is not right.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes

custom recovery I mean
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
are you sure the cee froyo nandroid backup has been successfuly restored?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
what may I do now,

next?

If I flash it with a full sbf india version 2.2 froyo,

by going back to the boot menu?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes it said so,

after which I rebooted and went into the bootloader menu

and flashed the fixed sbf
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
are you still stuck??

if yes, try check this:

on fixed sbf properties, is it the same?

no, you cannot flash full sbf froyo,

because leaked gingerbread using version 5 of cg31 and cg39.

official froyo using version 4 of cg31 and cg39.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
how do I check this?

I am still in the motorola screen

what do I do ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
on your computer, check the fixed sbf file properties.

right click on it, properties.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes the properties say the same on the comp

size 34

size on disk 34
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
exactly the same?

god! why it so difficult.

um.. unplug your usb, then pull out the battery, then put it again.

try to power it up, let see, still stuck or not.

if it's still stuck, pull out battery again,

then go to stock recovery: press and hold power+vol.down while powering up

clear data then clear cache, reboot.

let's see.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
can i flash back to eclair?

and try again the above steps?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
tried that but , still the same,

moto logo
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
did this exactly

but still on the moto logo
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
have you try to wipe data and cache on stock recovery and then reboot?

if it's still just same..

i don't know why but it supposed to be good.

okay, maybe try all over it again.

before you flash that unique full sbf eclair,

don't forget wipe data and cache on stock recovery.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
on the stock recovery its saying E: cant mount CACHE:recovery/command

E: cant mount CACHE:recovery/caller

E: cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
it's normal i guess, i have that error logs too..

everyone got that logs too.

okay, i found the f*cking problem.

the fixed sbf should be edited first!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
another download

eh

ok will try that,

but its getting pretty late, need to go to hospital tomorow( office starts 7.30am)

will try that tomororrow
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
NO!! I WAS WRONG!!

****!

the fixed sbf must be edited first!

sorry..

what's your posision? do not try eclair first..

i'll try the REAL fixed CEE SBF for you..

dammit! so stupid..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
my position

is I have eclair on now

and I am repeating the whole thing again

with the fixed Sbf of 4.5.128

ok

can i now instead of the CEE nandroid

restore to the indian nandroid

and then do the fixed sbf flash with 4.5.128

?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
no.....

just don't it just take your time.

what's your posistion now really?

do you flash eclair again?

just don't but if it's already happening then fine..

go to exactly on the tutorial, except the part of steps doing fixed sbf.

that's a wrong fixed sbf i gave you earlier.

it's your choice,

if you want to use indian, you have to download the nandroid sea15 then (takes much longer time to download more)

and also, i personaly don't use that froyo, it's buggy, and motorola pull it from the official download because of that.

i prefer to use CEE, since baseband can be change right?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
fixed sbf needs to be built right?

and the flashed, before that all the other steps are the same?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
let me built it, just take your time.

i'm still uploading fixed + edited sbf of CEE.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
right now its restoring to the froyo nandroid cee version
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
now cmg 39 needs to be deleted and cmg 31 to be replaced you say

but replace with what?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
just let me do this, i've been done creating it, and just upload, internet sucks here.

maybe next 10 minutes.

okay then, just do exactly the same what you done earlier.

except only on flash fixed SBF step, STOP on bootloader, don't flash fixed sbf yet.

because the files is wrong, caused stuck at moto logo.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
I have successfully restored and IF I reboot

the waht do I flash it with this time?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
for now, just go to bootloader (reboot, press and hold power+vol.up).

then just don't do anything yet.

or simply turn off your phone then.

do not booting, or it will stuck anyway.

wait for my edited fixed sbf.
