I believe there is an app in the android market that will wipe the battery stats, you need root.

Here it is.

Hi!

Can you take some pictures from your Play with the 2600mah Battery and the new cover? Would be very interesting to see :).
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Yeah. I can't do it now at work but when I get a chance I will upload. Easiest way to give an idea would be to add another stock battery to the back cover and chave off the thickness justba tiny little bit. It does maoe your phone thock hut truthfully for me playing with the game controls is definately a lot more confortable with the added thickness.
[Xperia Play Accessories] German-Guy:
Look this YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrrcBf4XyU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Is the same Battery. 99% of 2600mAh Batteries on ebay or Amazon are from the same manufacture in China: camersino. This battery in this thread, too.

The Battery Typ are the Same:

Black: CS-ER800BL

White: CS-ER800WL

Hmm, looks like its as thick as this one: http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Ericsson-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B005OPHNBA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1324496344&sr=8-7

But this one has 3600mah and costs the same...
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
The Youtube video is of the exact same one I have. Identical
[Xperia Play Accessories] German-Guy:
Btw... May battery deliver today.

Edit prop with Prop Editor App and wipe Battery Stats with Battery Calibration App.

Works fine now and Grip in Gaming with open Gamepad is better with this fat cover

Damn the battery looks really thick in the YouTube video.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
Why can't they make a higher mah battery with stock size? It would be like asking why an 8oz cup can't hold 12oz of liquid. Assuming the same battery technology.
[Xperia Play Accessories] MinionOfEckerd:
After two weeks of (im)patiently waiting, my extended battery has arrived.

First thing first, it is HUGE. The battery cover probably adds 30-40% to the thickness of the phone. I switched the battery in about 6 hours ago, currently at 70ish% after 12 hours. Going to do a full charge over night, clear the battery stats and see how it lasts through the day.

EDIT: 7.5 hours later, currently at 85%. Been using WiFi for data all day just been checking emails/small amounts of browsing.
[Xperia Play Accessories] shervintonrivera24:
which

which is much better battery? mugen battery or this 2600ma battery?
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
MinionOfEckard I wanted to ask to make sure. Did you go into your build.prop and change the battery from 1500 to 2600? There is a mention for it in there. I have the tutorial on page 1. I first fully charged my phone with the new battery, changed the build.prop and then went into recovery and wiped battery stats. Everything went peachy.
[Xperia Play Accessories] MinionOfEckerd:
Yes, I did that. The battery is fantastic, definitely nothing wrong with it except for the hefty size. :P
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
I find the size makes it for me much more comfortable to use the gamepad. Before it was too thin made my hands hurt. Now......very comfortable.
[Xperia Play Accessories] shaynethepain:
Hi jgregory1,

Always wanted to try out a beefed up battery and ordered one after reading your first post. Took approx 10 days to arrive (Im from India) The battery is great lasts for a looong time and also makes the gamepad easier to use.:cool:
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Glad you like it. I made this thread after trying out do many different batteries. Wanted to share my findings, thoughts. :-)
[Xperia Play Accessories] sfex3best:
This batteries awesome.

View attachment 844123

I got 12 hours of maybe not heavy usage but medium usage.

Bit of FIFA 12

Bit of browsing

Bit of YouTube

And Whatsapp was on most of the time.

Don't forget the signal in my house is really bad so that does drain some of the bat.

Thanks for recommending the battery jgregory
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Your welcome. Again its a great battery. Love how long it lasts
[Xperia Play Accessories] FixB:
I bought it, waiting for it to get here...

Thanks for your advice :)

Hi.

Im using the 3600mah battery that i linked some posts above now for a week. Look likes true thats 3600mah. With my old 1700mah battery im down to 40% on a day with normal use, with the 3600mah one im on 75% :).

Could some one post the exact dimensions of the 2600mah battery so i can compare it with my 3600mah one?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Michealtbh:
I would love to try one of these extended batteries, but due to my line of work I really need to put a case on my phone. Does anyone know of an extended battery which comes with a case to fit over the new larger battery cover?
[Xperia Play Accessories] shervintonrivera24:
problem

i have problem on buying in the baterrybay site,, how can i order? i will use my credit card, and by the way,, im from the Philippines
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
You can use either a credit card or Paypal account. I used Paypal for my purchase. The company is based out of Hong Kong, so they should be pretty flexible as far as what payment options they take.
[Xperia Play Accessories] shervintonrivera24:
is it safe to buy from them? and is the product is good?
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Myself and a few others on this thread have purchased the battery from them and my experience... very pleased. So pleased in fact thats why I started this thread.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Dudeness83:
I got this thing yesterday. Charged it to full, updated my build.prop and reset my battery. At the laundromat now just got done playing ff8 foot half an hour and unplugged my phone 4 hours before I got here, @ 97% right now....

This'll do.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Spizzy01:
If you search for 'xperia play gold battery' on EbayUK, you'll find a battery that does not require a new case as it is the same size as the original. It is the exact same battery i use and can honestly say it does go that extra mile!

Before i got around 20 hours of use out of my phone with somewhat minimal usage, however with average usage now i get 2 days+.

The capacity of the battery in question is 2430MAH. :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] b1g1an:
Top find if it's as good as you say. I'd rather lose the game pad than use of the dock.

For that I'll take your thanks virginity :)

Not sure how trustworthy those guys tbh, probably fine for cheap purchases.

anyways im going with the 3600 mugen power battery, since its the same thickness as the 2600 one by the looks.
[Xperia Play Accessories] German-Guy:
Okay Guys! My cheap No Mugen 3600mA from China is here!

I love the 2600mA from this thread and another 2600 mhA batteries from another resellers are 100% the same from china.

Mugen 3600mA battery is to expansive. This 3600mA cost me 13€ + 3€ shipping. I am waiting only 1 week after paying with PayPal.

The 3600 batterie is same big with the 2600 batteries. First I think the 1000mA+ are only a fake print for sale but the 3600 mA battery build is another. On the battery connectors are a corner and the battery fells another in the hand.

The weight is another, too. The 2600 mA have 58 grams, the 3600mA 61 grams.

Foot from 3600mA battery:

Here the 2600mA battery:

The back cover is 100% the same like the cover from the 2600mA battery.

Now is the 3600mA battery in my Play and it is start with 7% Power. After editing the build.prop from 2600 to 3600 was the power after rebooting 10%.

I charge now to 100% and Reset the Battery stats in the evening.

When I test the 3600mA battery a few days I post here my feedback.

Sorry for my ugly English ;-)

A 1 vs 1 photo of the batteries I post tomorrow.

[Xperia Play Accessories] themchammerfacewithashake:
could someone please post a tutorial video of installing the new battery?
[Xperia Play Accessories] unrandomsam:
According to the comments in build.prop that only affects the battery test in the service menu.

According to Diane Hackett wiping the battery stats is also pointless. (At least in the way that clockworkmod does it.)

3600 mAH Batterry on Amazon for 17.99

Ive been using it for 3 months now. Amazing battery. Like all other batteries of its size... you should know what to expect

Comes with the back plate and will easily triple usage.
[Xperia Play Accessories] German-Guy:
I have now the same battery and the 2600 mA too see my last posts in this thread. I testet now 3 Days and the 3600 mA Battery have + ~25% more power then the 2600 mA battery.

This battery is not a china fake and I think the mugen for 100 bugs is not a lot better

Anyone know how to fix this .

Purchased the one from eCell, will report back.... on holiday soon though so will try it out this weekend......
[Xperia Play Accessories] themchammerfacewithashake:
is this r800x applicable?
[Xperia Play Accessories] DrROBschiz:
Lets make this very clear

Mugen Battery is a ripoff. You can get a 3600mAH off amazon for 20 bucks

I have one and its awesome.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Mael5trom:
its a bit harsh to say its a ripoff, it might be, but theres not enough objective information to make an informed decision, im gonna try and do a fairly objective battery life test on my Mugen once ive run it in and let u guys know.

personally i have trust issues with dodgy looking chinese batteries, might be just me, but i'll pay the extra for the peace of mind. when i see something thats approx 1/8 below the price of the competition and at least 1/3 of what i expect to pay for a battery, i think red flags.

however i am interested in that thin e-cell battery and am waiting for some feedback on that as well.

i dont really see the point in the 2600mah cino one when its the same thickness as either the 3600 mugen or the chinese knockoff.
[Xperia Play Accessories] GoodToGo1:
I am thinking about buying the 3600 battery and wanted to know whether root is required to change the build file. Also, does the build file need to be changed at all?
[Xperia Play Accessories] German-Guy:
I order first the 2600mA but this battery was sent direct from in Germany.

Its a good battery and I waiting only 1 Day for delivery.

Then I order the 3600mA battery direct from china and waiting 2 weeks. In this Time I use the 2600mA battery and its a good battery but after delivery the 3600mA I use this battery.

And the power is of this battery is ~30% better.

Here my today stats. +6H heavy use with Twitter sync every 6 minutes, gaming and Media Streaming to my AV Receiver and I have 85% battery!

My play is oc to 1,6 GHz, too!

[Xperia Play Accessories] twe69:
Got the battery friday and have been using it.... Can confirm it lasts longer than the stock battery whilst not bulging the phone out.... Pretty good.

Its lasting me the whole day now compared to being on 25% after work with the stock battery, but am on doomlord kernel v8. v10 is meant to be better on the battery life so will try that when I come back from my holiday.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Jordanooo:
Hi,

Is wiping battery stats and changing build.prop needed?

Can i do it without root by any chance?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Accessories] vemoxy:
Battery stats is not needed according to a recent report.

I think changing the build.prop will improve battery life, and I think you need root.

I live in Singapore and the 3600mAh battery cannot be shipped to my location from Amazon :( Anyone has an alternate link to the 3600mAh battery?

Also, does the 3600mAh battery last significantly longer? If not I will probably get the 2600mAh one.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Try here.

It is based in Hong Kong and I am sure they will ship to your location. They do state they ship world wide and they take PayPal
[Xperia Play Accessories] vemoxy:
Yep I went there before, but the battery is 2600mah instead of 3600mah. :( thanks though!
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
I never said it was a 3600mha battery, I started this thread for that battery in the link I just posted, this thread is for the 2600 battery..... Yes its not a 3600 but the battery goes forever and I have easily gotten 2 days out of it. It is just a cheap great functioning battery that has never disappointed me and I wanted to share my findings with other Xplay users so they wont have to spend $80 for a Mugen battery but can go cheap and still have something great.

guys, is there any one found a case for extended batteries ?
[Xperia Play Accessories] jamesc760:
I haven't found any case for Xperia Play that can accommodate extended battery. The best bet is to find a generic case that can fit your phone with bigger than normal back.
[Xperia Play Accessories] RetroHero:
i think it becomes really fat with this battery....:D
[Xperia Play Accessories] Da22a:
I know its only an opinion but with the extended battery I find its easier to hold one handed in portrait and there is more to grip when gaming.
[Xperia Play Accessories] zahinasaur:
Hmm I just bought 3600mAh. I don't know, I think the battery life is the same as the stock 1500mAh battery. I've changed the build.prop, wipe battery stats, drained battery and charge it until 100%. From 100%, I just use wifi tethering for 45 minutes, and it's 92%.
[Xperia Play Accessories] doolfly:
I am new here. Just got my r800a last week.

Find that it is recommended to 'edit build.prop and change the battery from 1500 to <new value>'. I don't understand this part. Is it only for accurate display of remaining battery? If not editing the build.prop, will the new battery work properly? Thanks
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
It is recommended. The stock battery is 1500. So if you replace it with a larger battery, it is recommended to (a) wipe battery stats, (b) change the build.prop from 1500 to whatever size of the new battery is. Otherwise you could get misreadings on your remaining battery percentage. It will still work and you will still get a long use out of the larger battery.... just recommended to mod the buildprop
[Xperia Play Accessories] PapaJohnMc:
I just purchased the 2600mAh battery. :victory:

I look forward to getting it as I usually have to charge my stock one, once or twice per day... depending on use... :eek:
[Xperia Play Accessories] theoneofgod:
I get 3 days out of my battery (I recharge at 30%) so I could probably push 4 days with use every day.

The stock battery would last between 1, 2 days, depending on usage.

Has anyone noticed that the 3600mah back has 4 holes for speakers? If you put your ear to both sides (the speaker side, and the l,r trigger side) it sounds the same. The case amplifies the sound to me. Much, much better!
[Xperia Play Accessories] cvcduty:
Ok...

I have an Xperia Play R800X on the way. I bought one as a refurb. Not planning to use it as a phone but to use as a gaming device and to keep my kid occupied.

I've been looking here to see if I can get some good recommendations on extended batteries.

It seems that going with a 3600mAh is the way to go.

I found a couple and wanted to see your experiences using these batteries.

This one had been reviewed from what I can tell... but...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OPHNBA/ref=gno_cart_title_1

I found this set. Two 3600mAh for about the same price as the one on the top.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O74XE8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A157QZWH8GXWXX

Packaging looks same (same misspelled word Paly) on one side but the other side looks even more generic. It has one positive review on Amazon.

Anyone use this one? I have been burnt from generic batteries before and eventhough it's not a lot of money, I rather hear your recommendations before I commit.

Thanks.

Case Issues with Mic?

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying one of this big batteries. And I was wondering has anyone had issues with the back mic or the flash for the camera?

Since this big battery requires a new cover if it's not good enough it could mess the audio on videos or affect pics taken with flash.

Thanks!

I woudn't buy a battery that says 'Paly' instead of Play.

[Xperia Play Accessories] BensJammin:
Here's what I get with my 3600mAh battery. Very happy indeed. Admittedly not heavy usage over the last few days due to being very busy but impressive nonetheless!

No issues with camera flash or mic pickup, both seem to work fine (although Im not a heavy camera user but I just tested it now and it seems fine).

I wasn't getting a days usage from my phone before this new battery.
[Xperia Play Accessories] d0pecr4wler:

I have a 3600mah battery which I've had for a few months now and after testing both of them I get a lot more gaming on my 3600mah one and it's only a cheap £10 one as well with the paly error lol so if anyone's contemplating it id good for it as I was a bit worried at first that it would be a fake but when you get don't forget to change ro.semc.batt.test.z_threshold to 3600!

[Xperia Play Accessories] rbgabriel:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OPHNBA/ref=gno_cart_title_1

I bought this one in May, planning to use during my 1-month trip to Europe, but unfortunately, the battery arrived my home 3 days after I left Brazil :crying:

Anyway, after I got back, I used it for 3 months and it was flawless, with a very good capacity. But after 3 months the cell phone started to reboot alone several times and the frequency was rising constantly. I thought it was a ROM problem (I was using ICS Pureness) and (among other reasons), I decided to go back to GB (Gin2JB).

The reboot problem continued to happen and got worse, specially in very hot days (which now is the case since it's almost summer in South Hemisphere).

Then, I decided to go back to the stock battery and since then, no more reboots.

For the price, maybe it was a good choice. But I wouldn't recommend it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] neato4u:
My sister in law owns an Xperia X10 which uses the same battery as the XPlay.

She too have this random restart issue with her stock original battery. And it's not even a year old even.

When you use your phone for some less CPU / power hungry tasks it runs OK, however when you launch games or do something that requires more power, the phone shuts down as it cannot sustain the amp draw.

I'm pretty interested to grab the 2600 or the 3600 mah extended battery.. where's the 3600 link?

So wait, do I need to have a rooted device to do battery stat wipe and is stat wipe essential (what does it/not do ?)
[Xperia Play Accessories] daveh86:
Regarding need for a rooted device - as i understand it yes, you will.

The stat wipe will just erase your systems knowledge of the load levels of the batter, its charge, etc.

Not sure on essential, but it will change how your phone registers charge level.

Think changing the fuel tank size on your car - the petrol gauge may no longer be accurate.
