Hi!

For some reason my phone lets me add the plug ins but says the app is not compatible...love it.

Anyone has the latest? :-)
[Motorola Droid X2] Zeravnos:
I must say, those results are promising, and I will continue to monitor this thread...

But NUOH MY GOD that battery is huge :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
Huge battery, yes, but not as huge as I thought. Promising results are what I am getting now. I know the battery is performing better and better as time goes on, and I am more than please at this point. Thanks for checking out this review, glad to help each other out...
[Motorola Droid X2] Zues532:
Wow. That is one massive battery.

Any idea what it will yield once conditioned? (2x the regular battery life, 3x maybe?)
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
The one from Verizon isn't that big is it?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Very subtle!
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
I have reached 2.01xs the regular battery life... and still going :eek: Reporting tonight, damn battery doesn't want to die, since Sat morning :D

Do you mean the BH6X extended or the original that came with the DX (BH5X)?

If the BH6X, as you can see by the pictures, it's barely noticeable in weight and in looks... But battery life is about 4 more moderate use hours...
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I also bought two of these batteries back when I got my droid X, as for the calibrating them to read proper %s....its not really gonna happen, I use a battery widget on my home screen and go by mV left, this battery can do about 2.75-3.25 days of moderate use once youve gone through the first 3-5proper cycles, do NOT go by the % indicators, actually look at the mV charge, 4.2V fully charged and shuts off at about 3.175-3.200V
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
highly considered buying one of these, but i had a friend who talked me out of it. He said I should just buy another battery.

what are your thoughts, are the results worth the extra bulk?
[Motorola Droid X2] ArcaneDraco:
i got the 3500mah battery from ebay... around $16... it hit 1% around 8 pm last night(22 hours ago) and it is still on 1% now. definatly worth the buy.
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
My job requires me being away for up to 4 days away from home. It's great not worrying about juice. I do GPS, and track flights ALL day long. I sometimes don't even want to charge my X2 when I get to the hotel as I know it's good for another 8 hrs. Like I said, I like starting with a 100% battery at the start of my day. Why not try it? $16 sounds worth it to me.
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
When I was first recycling the battery, I left Netflix running and saw almost 2 full movies running consecutively when on 1% (through 3G).
[Motorola Droid X2] brydry:
Got this same battery a week ago

I happened to find this same battery a week ago on eBay for $29 shipped. Included the battery, extended door, and rubberized case. On the first Charge it lasted 36+ hours. Completely discharged then charged it up with the phone off. The second charge lasted nearly 4 full days! - with GPS and WIFI turned on the entire time. after the phone shut down I plugged it in for another 10+ hours with phone off.

Just turned the phone on a few minutes ago. I'll post again when the battery dies.

Yup, it's big, bulky, and quite a bit heavier. But, I no longer have to remember to plug it in every night. Or wonder if I'll make it through the day.

The case was designed for the Droid X so it has an opening in the side for the camera button. Fits the X2 perfectly. Other than the GB update and a few apps the phone is stock and set to performance with a live wallpaper.
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
You can actually get even more life using Juice Defender, which I haven't reviewed here yet. I've been working a lot and happy I got this battery. I will try to update my review and finally finish it by this week. Glad you're enjoying the battery!
[Motorola Droid X2] brydry:
Impressed

Posting back as I said I would. Not long after I posted on 10/12 I got the OTA update notification for 2.3.4 and went ahead and installed. My phone was on nonstop since 6am 10/12 to 3pm 10/14 - 53 hours with wifi, gps, Bluetooth on the hole time.

Thanks for the nod to juice defender. After two more full cycles I'll check it out. I only wish the battery indicator was even somewhat accurate. Oh well....
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Have you tried calibration?
[Motorola Droid X2] blackghost5411:
Where can I get a battery like that
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
i have the extended battery from vzw as well (BH6X) Got 22 hrs on the first use after bump charge and calibrated!

Droid X2 2.3.4, rooted, bloat froze, stock rom
[Motorola Droid X2] brydry:
Got mine from eBay. Just do a search for the battery or the seller, moretalktime

Can someone point me to how to calibrate the battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
You can download the app Battery Calibrator. Or you can charge to 100%, and go into boot strap recovery and click advanced, then click clear battery stats. (I think, I just use the app, quick and easy :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ArcaneDraco:
Ive had the 3500mah from ebay for about 2 weeks now, for the most part I cannot kill it. but strangely a couple times it has lasted only a few hours. Its a badass battery but I find it hard to trust it after that.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I'm thinking about getting this battery, looks like a good deal. Would anyone that has this battery be kind enough to post a screen shot or two of the battery usage screen in...

Settings : Applications : Battery use

Or post your average time between charges? Would be very helpful, thanks! Also to anyone who has had this on 2.3.3 and is now on 2.3.4 is there any changes in battery life?
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
I just purchased one of these batteries from AliExpress.com from the same seller & location that you bought your's from and it was only $13 with free shipping. I'll be waiting for a long time for delivery, but I hope it's worth it.

I wonder if this would fit with the trident electra case if I used this one instead of the 3500 mah that came with it? :D

Now thats a big battery. but for the amount of power that your are getting and it provides; the size look ok. I may give it a try. Nice review!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lycan84:
I may have to get this at some point wifes battery has been draining fast. Need to look through her phone and see whats up. But I've wanted a extended battery since day one.
[Motorola Droid X2] jackjadamyk:
was about to post a whole new thread, asking EXACTLY what you have here... VERY informative, and must say that your hard work makes things a LOT easier for me :) Thanks!

1 Question though: Any cases that you know of that will fit with this extended battery/cover?
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
The Trident elektra. I've had it on mine for the past 3 months and love it. It's tough as rocks, and I feel like I could literally toss this across the room without even worrying about the safety of my phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Thanks for the review. Great job.

What do you think of getting this battery to work in the operational method I use for the bh6x now: I use no battery door & retain the battery with the tightness of the OtterBox Inpact rubber only case. I really like the convenience when having to change these often. My guess is it would fall out. Thanks. Waiting to hear your response.
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
I was about to ask a similar question as well. Do you think I would be able to squeeze an Impact case around a battery that fat??
[Motorola Droid X2] argodabar:
What is a good way to charge this battery? I've read that with extended batteries of this size I'm supposed to charge it to 100% with the phone on and then shut it off and continue to charge that way until the led comes on. I've tried that but the led never comes on even after 3 hours. Also, after you charge the battery what is the voltage normally at? Mine is about 4.1V
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Just plug it in and leave it plugged in overnight, full is 4.200 when your battery gets old it will start to vary as high as 4.250 but that takes a while

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] skigill:
Nice review. I am thinking about getting one
[Motorola Droid X2] argodabar:
It's a great battery. I don't worry about it dying throughout the day. Only bad thing about it is that the phone doesn't know the exact battery levels.
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
Has anyone bought a trident electra? hows the bettery life with moderate use and hows the case in general? Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] uberjon:
I recently purchased an extended battery from newegg. uploading 3 screenshots of my results.

some info on battery:

3.7VDC 3500MAH 12.95WH

It seems amazing! I compared weight of it vs a 3500mah battery for a samsung captivate. and this one seems like twice as heavy!? Although the improvement for the captivate extended, was only like 20% more juice..
[Motorola Droid X2] jackjadamyk:
I purchased this after reading the review. I then saw another thread about a Trident Electra case and have since purchased that. This battery is compatible with that case, since the sizes are identical. However, the cover is not. I changed over to the Electra, since there was no case after I installed this battery/cover. The cover broke in 1 place and I could no longer use it. I've chosen the Trident Electra case now, and have the pros/cons on it listed in my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563308

do u need the wall charger for the 3800mAh battery or can u plug it in the regular phone port and charge it that way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Check this out guys. The following is a post from a member named coomb on the darkyrom.com forums. Check this out...its almost scary

"Hello everyone!

As I was surfing the web to look for a jig for the first SGS, I've discovered the SGS II has an internal counter which goes up by 1 everytime you flash something that's custom

What does this counter do exactly?

It's very simple: it counts the number of times you flash a custom ROM or kernel on your SGS II, so the guys over at Samsung know of it when you return the phone to them for any kind of problem you may have (this is done so they can say whether you've voided your warranty or not). Even using Odin to get back to stock won't help you and will let the counter go up by one

The good news is that the counter can be reset by using one of those jigs we all know very well

Ha, Samsung! You thought you could fool us that easy?

No, unfortunately Samsung has very clear in mind what it's doing.

It seems there is a second counter, which counts the number of times the custom flash counter has been reset, and the bad news is that its position/folder has not been discovered yet.

So, it seems all the future SGS II owners and flash addicts over here (and not only here) will have a hard time returning their SGS II to Samsung after having flashed something... I hope someone over at XDA will get everything sorted out (Chainfire is already working on it).

Speaking about XDA, here's the source of this article: XDA-SGS II flash counter.

That's it for now, bye! "

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
a couple of points:

1.) I deal with Sprint, not Samsung. Sprint's front-lines CS people aren't typically known for their technical prowess (my apologies to those in present company)

2.) This sounds doubtful. The way this is phrased makes it seem as if it's a file in the current file system we have all the tools required to wipe that clean. If that's true they should expect that someone here *will* figure it out.

3.) All this is going to do is encourage those of us with insurance/TEP et al to render the phone completely inoperable within the scope of our insurance (or return period). Poof, problem solved.

So even if this is in fact true, and it could very well be, I don't see the immediate threat to us and I don't see how Sprint would use this ability to prevent us from using our insurance or return ability given that it would be trivial to render the phone and any file system or electronic counter completely inaccessible by any practical means. Coming up with a process to read the "counter" would involve more time and inconvenience for both the customer and the carrier than either would find acceptable to bear. Though there is that suspicious hole right about the volume rockers that may be a nearly fool-proof direct port to a "counter" it would be impossible to make that a 100% reliable mechanism either.

EDIT: after thinking about this some more I am of the belief that while in our unique circumstance (in the US) it wouldn't be too big a hurdle to pass, should we need to, that it is definitely possible if inconvenient/implausible in practice. (In most of the world you just buy the phone and then hook it up to a carrier, in the US you pick your carrier and get your phone from them....so while everyone else would have to deal with Samsung for warranty claims we do not.)

However I was also wondering what it was counting. Writes to /system and/or any directories/partitions that are typically R/O without root?

There are plenty of times in your phones life where that may be flashed for legitimate purposes. Upgrading the OS comes to mind (cue "Samsung never updates" jokes), as would any carrier provided "flash to stock" (which at my area stores is their last, and usually only, attempt to repair a device for just about any reason). There are likely other scenarios that escape me at the moment.

Any reason legitimate is enough to place a reasonable doubt on any claims of tampering that would cause any court of law to demand far more compelling evidence than merely "the counter went up" in order to find you guilty/uncovered by warranty. "What if the counter is unreasonably high?" You say...well what if you tried desperately to flash and reflash and reflash your broken phone attempting to repair it to get your data back? That's a pretty likely scenario.

EDIT²: ...and if "legitimate writes" don't tick the counter up a notch then there is a mechanism to avoid flash detection and it will be found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Torethyr:
That.

Let's see them prove I've flashed custom roms after I pass the phone under a powerful electromagnet a few times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
In response.

1. As far as phone returns, you never deal with the the phone maker anyway, you ALWAYS deal with the returns per the carrier. My thoughts on this is that Sprint has been supplied with the tools and info from samsung to verify if the phone has been flashed or not, seeing as how it would be pointless for samsung to include such a feature when they wont be doing the warranty checks.

2. This doesnt sound beyond the scope of samsung in my opinion. And as far as how it was "phrased" this was from a regular user with no real dev experience or technical experience. So if what he said sound a bit odd or simpleton in terms of terminology or his guess as to where this counter would be, thats why. Just because he made a guess that its in the filesystem somewhere doesnt mean much. Also where do we all get these magical tools that you say we have to delete this data that no one knows the location of yet? :o

3.If you render the phone completely useless in a way that there could be no data pulled from the phone (aka smashing it) then you wouldnt be able to redeem your warranty anyway. bricking the phone wouldnt matter as sprint/samsung have the tools to easily access and repair any bricks that you or I could perform, and then read the information that they need.

Also the fact that the user ChainFire is working on this confirms its vailidity to me, as he is a major dev in the Galaxy S I & II Scenes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
TEP covers all that.

I guarantee after I put the phone internals into the microwave for a few seconds there is no tool in the world that's going to be able to repair the brick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Well for the 90% of people out there that dont pay 30 dollars a month for the protection plan, and just want a warranty exchange for something that actually wasnt their fault and at one time or another had a custom rom on their phone, they will be out of luck. So this is a problem for people like myself. Ive never bricked a phone, but i did have my captivate radio antennae die and was getting no signal whatsoever and was able to get att regular warranty to replace it. Had i been in that situation NOW, with this counter in place, i would be screwed. for something that wasnt caused by myself.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

If I remember correctly flash based storage isnt effected by magnetic fields. Also if that did work, good for you....but where do the rest of us get an expensive highpowered electromagnet lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
I think this is very low of Samsung ... but i doubt anything will change ... sprint employees know less about this stuff than we do on here .. and haven't people already mess their phones up and got them replaced easily ? ..

Sprint can't accuse you and deny you a replacement if you play stupid and never admit to rooting/ modding ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
If it's in the file system I would use "rm". If it is being stored in a non-standard way as to escape a deep directory/partition inspection I would have to say that it's outside of the file system. A pedantic gripe of mine, to be fair.

I don't even have to present the damn phone to get a new one ;), it must be lost or stolen....or flashed to boost, lol. Not that I ever have or would, but, that's pretty feasible.

I don't doubt the veracity of the claim. Nor do I doubt the word of chainfire. What I am not certain of is what exactly they found and what it is counting and how that counter can be used as incontrovertible proof of a warranty damning activity.

I updated my post above which partially addresses this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akkord64:
I checked into this before I returned my 1 day old bricked epic touch 4 g, and Sprint replaced it no questions asked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
But what about the counter-counter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
lol yeah it resets the FIRST counter...but thats not the problem. Theres appearently some mechanism in place the count how many times youve reset that first counter lol. Im sure itll be killed in a few days if not weeks by people here on XDA, but i sure do find these kind of things interesting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
Bro, you are high if you think this has any bearing on Sprint users being able return an Epic Touch 4G. Moreover, Steve Kondick...hired by Samsung. Team CM, given GS2's to hack by Samsung.

Also, if this is an issue with the Galaxy SII international variant, why don't you POST IT IN THAT FORUM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
All you have to do is flash something in odin with the OG Epic Pit and check re-partition. Start it, run it for a minute or 2 and pull the cord. Completely inoperable.

Also Steve being hired by samsung doesnt make him president of the "i get to do whatever the **** i want" club lol. He still has to adhere to NDA and the like.

and finally, its in our phones too. our phones are SGS II's lol. Sprint just gave ours a "fancy" name.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Inoperable to you sure. To the people with the equiptment MADE to run diagnostics and access low level bootloaders, not a problem. Half flashing a bootloader isnt the end all to a warranty claim. Also i dont know why you all are taking this almost personally as if i was saying this is something that will never be patched or worked out here on xda. And continue to come up with scenarios where you are above the counter lol.
