Working great.

I just backed up my old market with titanium backup in case this one is not working good.

But working good so far.

Thanks for update.

Really needed this PIN code security before purchases.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] players_inc17:
This new update kills my 3g data again

But works great on wifi :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Auxilium:
Anyone receiving "!" when downloading anything with the new market?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Note_E:
Didn't know the source of the .apk (no offense OP). So I got it from androidpolice. MD5 match on both files. I've had 2 FC using new market already tho. I like the idea of PIN code for purchase.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rozzco:
It's working great for me! Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] d3athsd00r:
Nice. Works a lot better than my other version.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ac7brier:
Working great for me, love the PIN feature. Uninstalled n reinstalled a few apps to make sure everything worked. Very quick.

Sent from the Darkside of the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Why are a handful of my apps that are clearly installed, listed under not installed... then when you click on them, they only say open; so even the market knows they're installed, just not under MY APPS???

Already tried clearing data/chace for Market... no dice. Any Thoughts??
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TimeTurn:
Try Titanium Backup's market fix
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Several times now I've opened up the market and it shows only 2 apps in the My Apps section...I then have to clear data for the market app and then reopen and all is fine. Anyone else having this happen? It's not a huge issue, just slightly annoying. I'm running Alien #4.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dereknas:
i'm getting force close on this.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] thermax04:
Is this an official release from Google or a modified app. by a developer?

I have version 3.0.27 installed but it does not updated automatically to the new version! why?
[HTC Sensation] nistco92:
I would have asked in the Superlite thread, but it's in the developers' section and this is a new account... Thanks!

While you're here: what are the major differences between Superlite, Senseless Extreme, InsertCoin, and ARHD?

This is the stock battery, EP500 Li-Polymer 1200mAh

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ep500

No memory effect, can charge anytime, full charge obtained on around 3 hours via PC USB port.

Compatibility : Vivaz, Vivaz pro, Xperia mini/pro, Xperia X8

This is the best choice I can find on an alternative battery, claimed to be 2430mAh.

http://cgi.ebay.com/130561150352

Double the capacity, which I believe should at least provide more juice. Planning to buy, but I suppose since most phones we have are new, we better see what the fully optimal EP500 can do first.

Any other choice and experiences, let us know.

---

UPDATE : Based on feedbacks of that battery brand, its highly possible that higher capacity battery is not really accurate. There is no direct feedback on the EP500 replica model though, that remains to be found out. In my opinion, for best case, its high chance its just like the stock battery performance.

---

For my personal use, I bought an Energizer AP650.

Energizer AP650MC Output : DC5V--700mA

On AP650 fully charged (charging LED off) plugged on an off SK17i (died to lack of batt), it will take around 25 mins to drain the AP650 into the SK17i while its turned on, standby idle.

SK17i was able to get 28% charge. From this data, I can say the AP650 can charge the SK17i at the rate of 1% per minute for max of 28 minutes. This means the whole charge of the AP650 can bump the standby (idle) time for at least 12 hours.

I will add more data when I find something of value. Will take actual picture with the phone also.

update: i changed phone already, went back to xperia arc but still sometimes use the energizer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guradroid:
the alternative battery, is it still have same size with the stock battery ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chuinkee:
from the picture it looks like the same size, else they should provide a new back cover.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Mugenpowerbattery

As it is the same battery like in the SE x8, i suggest to try out this one from Mugenpower:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...nded-battery-for-sony-ericsson-xperia-x8.html

But you only gain +100 mah.

I tried a battery from Mugenpower on my older phone and the quality is good.

But for that price I don't think I am going to buy this one only to gain a little bit more power.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] himuraken:
That is a little steep for me. In the 20 range is find but in the 40's for 100 mah more just won't do.

I was looking also on ebay at the 2000 something mah but could you really fit that power capacity in same size battery? Please post any feeds if tested
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guradroid:
so.. anyone has tried it ?

i'm really interested on 2430mAh

i hope the written specs will not lie
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
Once I begin to feel the itch for the need of longer life I will buy that. But so far for now, I still need to get the feel of the stock batt so we'll have better comparison when time comes. Unless someone here really buys ahead :$
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Packing almost more than the double mAh in the same size seems pretty unrealistic. I think its fake.

I mostly fear that it could damage my phone. Have read that cheap batteries can explode or damage the phone and I have this phone only for a week now and would like to keep it though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
I had the same thoughts and reservations. But not really to the point that it damages and explodes. Its the authenticity of the claimed capacity is the question.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] himuraken:
i agree, you would be shooting in the dark when purchasing this but someone could make the 1st step.

we can see if our battery performance increase over time or i propose donating to the cause, to a credible member and buy one to test it out. just a thought :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
I'm willing to buy, try and inform you all. Let me settle with the stock batt first if I would need higher capacity, unless someone here buys before me. I would think the capacity may not be necessarily true, but since its double capacity then perhaps we get at least 50% of what it offers right (ie. 25% more juice) compared to stock battery in its worst case, and in that case even it may be acceptable for the price point?

my feel : it seems after some days of getting the hang of the phone battery life, it looks like if doing nothing with the phone at all sit it standby, it easily reaches 2 days of life and can even go for a few hours more but i doubt it will reach 3 days. however, once normally using the phone like browsing wifi, tinkering, etc. it definitely can only max out in less than 2 days. if doing more browsing and use calls, 3G, in one day or less it likely will finish the charge. if straight wifi internet browsing, i doubt this will reach 7 hours max.

perhaps need more cycle charging as phone barely a week old. any other experiences?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Hello guys, i asked mugenpower if they would make a higher capacity battery for the Xperia Mini Pro.

They said that there wont be a battery for the Xperia Mini Pro in the near Future and we have to Stick with the 1300 mAh they are offering for the x8.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
From my latest feel on the stock battery, upon regular use it will only really last 2 days tops. If used a bit more say browsing over wifi, video watching, calling, browsing over 3G, then it would only last like only ~42 hours.

However, I am thinking about an another alternative to the higher capacity battery in question on the first post, yes it is cheap but it is highly likely that it is an impossibility to fit into the size even 50% additional more power into the battery of the same size. Therefore high chance it is fake.

The other alternative I think is just get usual USB portable chargers, the likes of Energizer XPAL. I also noticed the phone charges really fast (ie. 2+ hrs) due to the small battery, so perhaps useful to have it charge even in your bag while commuting hmm?

The phone is compact enough, so bringing an an additional power which can also serve the purpose for other gadgets as well may be an option.

What do you think?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] A to the Thizzle:
I personally would use the portable charger. I've had horrible experiences with fake batteries, most of the time they don't even last half as long as the OEMs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paul-home:
Stop, don't buy the 'gold' battery from that seller!

The capacities are fake, I got ripped off myself, the batteries are just normal capacity clones. Look carefully at the negative feedback.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
Thanks paul-home. Yes I thoroughly read the feedbacks but the reason I posted that item cos its the only higher capacity batt available. I will edit the 1st post to put a disclaimer.

Anyway, what I am trying to do is just maximize the stock batt, I noticed it lasted really longer when I let it sit on the charger even if it is 100%. The battery status stays at 100% for 6 hours when left on standby. In any case, I am firming my investigation and will recalibrate the battery stats on phone and see how it really goes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
Added data about the Energizer AP650 extended microUSB portable charger on the first post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kooky1107:
Too bad it is fake.

I could use more juice cause i have the wi-fi turned on 24/7.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jonnygee555:
Would be cool if they made a higher capacity that has the battery and back cover all in one

Like this

http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites...b_550_htc-thundertbolt-extended-battery-1.JPG

For the mini pro.

It would also make the phone even thicker :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daaabs:
I really like the battery for this. Charges up really quick and lasts (for me) the full day. I think a better alternative to buying a higher-capacity battery would be to just buy a second official battery and keep it in your watch pocket (the little pocket on the front-right of your jeans) in case of emergencies.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MauriF:
In the mini there is a little more "space avaiable" in order to add a couple of Ah ^^ :

It's not much, but more or less It's the volume for 200-300 mAh ...need only a "specific" Li-po battery and new back cover without reinforces.

PS: sorry for bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jonnygee555:
I wonder why they didnt remove them plastic blades and made the battery slightly curved.

removing them plastic bits is the easy part, finding a battery that fits perfectly is the problem

ive been looking through my old phones to see if any of there batterys would fit, none of them do though :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MauriF:
For a Li-po battery the problem of the "shape" is the last one...

The first problem is that STANDARD=ECONOMIC...instead NOT-STANDARD=EXPENSIVE.

But SE could sell improved (shape) battery + bladeless back cover at least as an accessory! A lot of users will buy a kit like this!

The problem of the battery is just the volume...nowaday the last battery tecnology is Li-po.

There is no other way to increase battery capacity then to increase volume of the battery itself.

The limit is the volume avaiable.

We need Li-Sulfide batteries!! ^^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] H a R 0:
so the stock battery is already the best so far for the mini pro?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] royalbloodvi:
2430mah is fake, its actually 1000mah tested and confirmed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] batwingnz:
Got an external li-polymer, solved all battery life problems, means I can stay away from a mains source for 3 days if needed. I doubt we'll ever find a better internal battery for this phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:
How about this one?

http://www.obostore.com/1600mah-andida-spare-battery-for-sony-ericsson-u5i-p-1947.html

u5i = vivaz. same battery as mini pro afaik
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Just ordered One as its pretty cheap and the seller looks halfway serious.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Land Rover Defender:
Have you ordered the 1600MAH battery from the above link?

Please could you post your findings as to whether?

1. Is it actually 1600MAH?

2. Does it fit the Xperia Mini Pro without any mods?

3. Does it increase the battery performance?

Thanks,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Its still shipping , i will Test it once it arrives.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] happyBOY78:
Hello,

i buy this battery, today come to my home with Singapure stamp on envelope :-)

I charge it to full capacity, next my friend measure it with profesional electrican equipmnet and real values are better, then i expect (and described in eshop)

Values are: 4,16V and 1730mAh

Size is the same as original.

And perfomance...i see after few days or weeks.

So, for me is this battery good deal :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dr.Pain GER:
Hey,

still in the shipping?:D

Post a review for us, man:p

Jens
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
I got a "Dhl" notification that i recieved a package but they couldn't deliver it as I was Not there. So will Check today, hope it is the battery :D

Stay tuned will tell you soon.

Best regards

Edit: sry wasn't the battery :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DALEcz:
Any update on the performance of the 1600 mAh battery? :´)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Sry but mine has yet to arrive :( they told me it will take about 8-17 days, hope it arrives soon as its almost 17 days ago I ordered one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Battery reveiced

Hello guys,

today I finally received my battery. First questions how do I verify if the 1600mah are real or just a bluff? Is there any application that shows you the mah of the battery inserted?

I will tell you in the next few days if the battery life has improved or not.

I am using a sk17i aka Mango.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] happyBOY78:
I check capacity with Voltmeter and Ampermeter (i don´t know right english words for this), it is electrician equipment. Some apps (f.e. battery wigdets etc), have this functionality, but i am sceptic for this real values showed by this apps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Or if you are on stock rom you could use the *#*#7378423#*#* and then go to the battery test for it to tell you the real output.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Hey so i checked the mah through the sony ericsson system menu.

Here is what it says:

1200mah

Guess its no real improvement but i haven't charged it yet though as it was charged on 59%. I will tell you after a few battery-life circles if it is any good.

At least it is a cheap alternative for the stock battery :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
probably the service menu don't have a method for direct estimation of battery capacity, and I think there is no such thing possible, to read the status from battery, directly. Could be possible that after a few full charge - full discharge cycles, and if the system is monitoring the power consumption, the indicated capacity could increase.

It is also known that new batteries will not have the full capacity from beginning, and it will increase after a few charges and sometimes, on some phones, could take longer before the battery will have full capacity, as reported by some phones users.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DALEcz:
Did you try to measure the capacity on the stock battery as well? If it shows the 1200 mAh? It could prove that the new battery you bought really is "bigger".
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] garychencool:
The 1600mah battery sounds good and wow it's cheap too, $8. 99.

Get like 1.5 times the stovk battery. Sounds really good, i want this but is it legit?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hanybanoub:
Updates?

Any updates on the people who bought the 1600 mah battery please? We'd love to learn from you :)

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

How is the battery doing my friend?

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

How is the battery my friend?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
So after a little bit then more of a week I can say the following:

- for the price it is definitely a good replacement battery

- After a week of charging cycles it is now about the battery life of my original one; think that there will be more improvement after more and more cycles

- Can't check the mah but it definetly has 4.2 V when charged (checked trough "battery calibration" app)

I think it is definitely worth of buying, but you have to wait as the shipping takes its time.

If there are still some question, I will try to answer them as best as I can.

Best regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hanybanoub:
Thanks for your helpful reply!

Look forward to its potential improvement over the original battery over the next weeks or so for you.

Please advise of the improvement.

Thanks again :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
Next week I will tell if there are more improvements in battery life or not.

So stay tuned till then.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] damienx88:
So how is this going? Is this battery better than the original and if it lives longer enough? does it give 12-16 hours to battery life?

Could you please share some more information because I'm really looking forward to buying one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
First some information on my everyday usage:

- I use WLAN whenever it is possible

- I use only GSM and when i really need UMTS

- I listen to music minimum 2 h a day

- surfing the web about 1 h

- playing some games when i get bored

- I use "conservative" mode in SetCpu

Above is a minimalistic use of my phone and I get trough 24-25 h

On a heavier use I get trough the day, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

That's what I get with my original and the new one, but the new one is still not calibrated as it gets better and better.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] uni3que:
WOw this lukss nyc my st15i needs it ..

The battery jst drains so fast :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hanybanoub:
How about this one: 1800mAh - good reviews also and a bit cheaper than the 1600:

http://www.dinodirect.com/sony-ericsson-u5-business-battery-1800mah-high-capacity-currency-GBP.html
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
I just ordered the one from dino. Hope it will be good.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DALEcz:
great! Let us now after you test it a little..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hanybanoub:
The Sony battery seems to be li-po!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
So the 1600 battery is the best tested one so far ?

And the 2000+ one is fake.

And the 1800 is yet to be tested ?

1600 battery, howmuch extra hours it adds for those who have it in total ?

Feel so noob for asking so much questions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
As for the 1600mah battery after testing it a while, I must correct my Statement from previous posts. It is Not better than the stock, it is comparable with the original and even a little bit worse. But maybe it needs some more charging. I dunno
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hanybanoub:
Sorry to hear that...thanks for the update.

Will update forum on the 1800 when I get it - suspect the same but still hoping for the best :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Thanks for information, and battery calibiration had no positive effects ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
I calibrated it every time I switched from stock to cm7 or if I updated my stock rom.

Nah it did not really help. It looses much battery while in idle mode what is not happening with the stock battery.

Someone here posted sth. similar, that the battery drains out fast.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Did you try re-measure actuall output voltages (ms prolly) fully charged, compared to orginal.

Then you can, besides share for us, also confirm you're findings.

That would be ultimate test.

Thanks anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MrSalue:
thank you! any updates on the battery's ? so we can start buying or not ;p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
I have received the 1800 dino battery. Looks high quality. It will take some time before i can make an opinion about it. The stock SE battery life was very short and after some charge cycles started to last longer. Maybe a good method to test is to let Neocore run in loop mode with light sensor off and fixed display brightness and compare to the original.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deyo238:
What about putting battery from Xperia Arc...I think it's the same as Xperia mini, Li-Poly but only i'ts 1500mAh...not 1200mAh???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
Its bigger. The Deji battery from dino seems to be good , to mee seems to last the same as the original one but this is just an opinion. I will make an tehnical test to have acurate comparation between the two.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
I finally made the battery test: stock SE EP500 1200 vs Deji 1800.

Booth batteries were completely discharged and fully charged before the test. The test was to run the Neocore benchmark in loop mode (interactive in menu) with airplane mode, disabled auto-brightness/lightsensor , screen always on with fixed brightness at 50%.

The Deji 1800 lasted about 7% longer than original battery. 1200+7% = 1285, not 1800 but probably good for a cheap Chinese battery. Tehnicaly it's imposible to have much bigger capacity in the same battery volume.

I don't remember how many charge cycles has(fewer than the stock battery) , but after few more could last even better.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dapcwiz:
Just chiming in with my experience:

I purchased this battery: (I'm not allowed to post links due to my low post count, but the ebay item number is: 260841169385)

It claims 2200 mah. After using it for the last week or so, the average life is slightly worse than the stock battery. So basically I wasted my money. The capacity is definitely fake, but it works properly and doesn't cause any problems with the phone. I will keep it as a spare battery...

I see people that are posting about the 1600 mah batteries. I hope they keep us updated because those give me hope!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Polderon:
Any news?

I'm hoping to get a longer life battery for my X8... :)
