[Defy Accessories] coolravsun:
I have motorola MB525 defy bought in September 2011. Last week, my phone battery got deep discharged and the phone won't boot even after plugging in the charger.

As the phone was under warranty, i got the battery replaced yesterday but i got HF5X 1700mAh (the one in Defy+) as replacement. The service centre guy said that it would work with my Defy.

I kept the phone on charging for more than 12 hours continuously but the battery keeps charging and battery level is not going beyond 80%. :(

Can you please suggest what should i do? Can your OEM patch help? If yes, how do I use it?
[Defy Accessories] scrannel:
Just for clarity... is it that the battery IS charged but the battery indicator doesn't show this? Or is it actually NOT charging?
[Defy Accessories] wawroo:
it is definitely better for battery life when we are charging it every time 80% instead of 100%, true and maybe this was service guy main idea..
[Defy Accessories] coolravsun:
I do not think that the battery charges to full as battery voltage reaches a max of 4.158 V. Whereas, as per what I've read about Defy+ battery, it needs to be charged upto 4.4 V for full charge.

Any Idea how to make it charge to full 4.4 V?

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Hey Wawroo,

I don't think the service guy was even aware that the battery would not charge to full capacity.

And btw,can u please explain how is it better to charge the battery upto 80% only and not 100%?
[Defy Accessories] cristianosite:
I disagree with the idea to be better for the battery life to charge up to 80% instead full capacity. I always charge it up to full capacity, and after 10 months my Defy spend 2 days and 10 hours to complete discharge the battery. I am using the CM7.2 with battery recalibration.

By the way, I think your software doesn't recognize the new battery capacity. You should try some battery recalibration in case you have the recovery menu.
[Defy Accessories] coolravsun:
Thanks Cristianosite for the reply.

Can you please help me about this 'Recovery Menu'? I mean, what is this and how do I get it on my phone?
[Defy Accessories] cristianosite:
@coolravsun

Recovery menu is a tool which allow us to access some 'service' options in our device, such as flash alternatives roms, battery recalibration, wipe cache, wipe data, etc... You will find more details on Defy XDA Wiki. To get this you have to root your device. In the wiki you will find more details.

However, please pay attention to the comment of veimus.

I have no much knowledge about this technologies. Maybe you should take a look on that.
[Defy Accessories] coolravsun:
I have my phone rooted and have got the clockworkmod recovery installed.

I just wiped all battery statistics via recovery menu and factory-reset my defy (took nandroid back-up of my phone b4 dat). And then, put my phone to charging in the switched-off state. It charged to 100% in about 2 hours. But, within 2-3 minutes of as I turned it ON, the battery dropped to 90%. I have not restored my backup yet and am planning to use the phone till it drops to 10% and then again charge it to full.

What do you suggest?
[Defy Accessories] lmxf:
this thing is nice for me to travel! ordered 1 :D:D:D
[Defy Accessories] coolravsun:
Even after using this method, the battery is still charging uptill 80% and the life isn't as good as it was with my original Defy battery. Also, i tried the app 'BATTERY REPAIR' available on android market. But it didn't help either. Going to the motorola service center to get the Defy+ battery replaced. :(
[Defy Accessories] aneeshcphilip:
1700mah battery working in ur defy? or u changed to 1500 one?
[Defy Accessories] sdriverz:
To solve the problem on defy with defy+ battery try flash cm9 quarx ou epsylon Defy+ rom. And DON'T apply the the battery fix patch. Since the patch was made to use in regular defy, the rom is designed to work with defy+ battery. But you can't flash it on green lens because it will brick the cam.
[Defy Accessories] mja711:
do any of the battery fix for cm9 work???

plz help .... don.t seem to be able to get any of it working
[Defy Accessories] korale:
is there any recommendation for a bike dock?
[Defy Accessories] pupiloalpha:
Custom ROM is the solution

When have used CM7 my battery was great... Defy Red lens.

Now, in CM9 for Defy+ (i continue using Defy Red Lens Bayer), when i use fix battery of walter9, my battery is safe.

When in wifi and 3G any cell still in full battery.
[Defy Accessories] diogo65:
Can I buy this battery for my defy green lense ?

I'm running on CM10 by Quarx for Defy with Froyo kernel, the fix will be ok ?
[Defy Accessories] cannabis4711:
what happens if i do not install the update, but i would use the 1700mah battery?
[Defy Accessories] fioda:
Any one tried the battery of Defy + in the normal Defy with the patch and worked properly using a green leens ROM?

[HTC Sensation] abs_rio:
After flashing several 3.0 and 3.5 ROMS I have to say the Virtuous ROM is very stable. I've had no problems, lags or FCs.

I have not tried any ICS ROMS so can't comment on their stability.
[HTC Sensation] LBN1:
I have three nandroids of Roms that I use, all of which are pretty good:

Virtuous Sensation - has most Sense

HyperNonSense - has a little Sense

RevertedAOSP - zero Sense, stock Android

My daily driver is RevertedAOSP because it is fast, solid, and with a few tweaks does everything I need it to do.
[HTC Sensation] detroit2hi:
Good stuff.

Thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
He's asking for ICS not gingerbread!

Anyways, I'm using webstar1's Ultimite ROM. Very smooth when compared to the other sense based roms. pretty much is AOSP, except for the Dialler/Contacts and camera apps. would recommend, very stable, hadn't had one FC yet. :]

EDIT: LOL sorry I misread the OP. -.- oh well!
[HTC Sensation] m1zzl3:
Android Revolution HD (currently im using the 3.6.8 version see my signature) is good. It's stable and it's just like the stock ROM only more tweaked and overclocked to 1.5GHz. Despite that all the battery life is longer than the stock ROM itself while performance improves, so I would recommend you this ROM.

Must say that I haven't tried other ROMS yet (only the ARHD ICS ROM once, but after 30 minutes playing around I was bored so put it back to 2.3 with nandroid backup)
[HTC Sensation] echo511:
I just flashed Virtuous ICS 1.3.0 today and so far, while certainly beta, looks really stable! Unless something creeps out of the corners, looks like this will be my new daily driver for a while.
[HTC Sensation] detroit2hi:
3.6.8. I will definitely try that one thanks!
[HTC Sensation] detroit2hi:
I tried and had to many issues.
[HTC Sensation] detroit2hi:
I haven't tried an AOSP yet. Thanks for the recommendation. 100% trying that right now !
[HTC Sensation] biggary:
Well, have flashed twice daily, since I owned the Sensation a couple weeks back, tried every rom in the android forum, a couple of roms i feel are rock solid stable, not force closing once, and a nice amount of battery, they are LeeDroids rom and CoreDroid rom, thats my opinion only, and for you just keep flashing, I also too am not a fan (yet) of ICS roms....... what am I using now???? see my signature

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
flash instructions per Da_G

I posted flash instructions below provided by Da_G via pm.

I would also add that Johnsondr80 has replied to pm from me expressing interest in this recovery so I imagine between Da_G and the Doc this will be figured out pretty quick...

Like I said I received the instructions below from Da_G; so if it works please thank him and if it doesn't, yell at me but use at your own risk.

put the image on /sdcard/ , lets assume you named it recovery.img, so it is at /sdcard/recovery.img

reboot to CWM

connect with adb shell

type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

I think p22 is our recovery, i am not really 100% sure as I have not looked into creating one yet. But that is how you would flash it (substituting the proper mmcblk0pXX)

oh yeah, if you just wanna taste it, flash this from clockwork...

http://rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/2.1.4/RZR-2.1.4-universal-runme.zip

it will not change anything, just run it whenever you wanna use it. It replaces the RUNNING recovery with mine, feeding off of whatever recovery;s partition table is already in place on the device. It's built generic, so if this device uses a funky graphics library I'll need that and make a skyrocket-specific runnable zip until it gets flashable :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
it works eh?... ill have to give it a try also. will have to make some sort of mod for it so a trip to Radio Shack will be in order. of course, would either have to leave battery cover off or "modify" it.

[EDIT] well, battery specs are slightly different:

G- Nexus: 3.7V 6.85Wh

HTC HD2: 3.7V 5.6Wh

so basically the battery will still work of course, it just won't last as long. but considering that the HD2 extended battery is 2400mAh compared to the GN's 2100mAh, it will still last a bit longer + the HD2 battery is only $8 online.

[EDIT 2] looks like the Droid Bionic is also 3.7V 5.6Wh and found 4000mAh batteries online for $12

It counts as data in your plan but not towards your text plan
[General Questions and Answers] concuncon:
I think you got some misunderstand here.

Google voice is not VOIP, it is a forwarding service that provide you with a number to use for any phone you have. When you call someone with GV, Google server call you and that person at the same time, then connect you two, which mean you are using your minutes plan. But if you have access to a web browser on a computer, you can use Gmail to call phone or other Gmail user - that is VOIP (it is free for now, but they will start to charge for the service)

But texting with Google voice is free as long as you have internet access (wifi or data plan). The person who receive it with a normal phone number would have to pay for text plan however

Hey folks, I have a Motorola Droid razr XT910 GSM from Brazil, I've installed CWM Recovery, and flashed [ROM] [GSM] EternityProject Mod -- Deodexed Stock Rom, everything has gone well, so I flashed again another ROM: [ROM] [GSM] THE ARCTIC v1.5.0 #Beta (Alt. themes) -- The EternityProject, everything well again, then I flashed: [ROM] [GSM] FTS V2.2 [Spyder XT910] [RC] [Online], no problem until now.

I've done all these flashes to decide which one would fits better to me, then I decided to keep the first one (Deodexed Stock Rom), but after that CWM recovery stopped working (after wiping data) and the way I've found to "revive" my razr was flashing (via RSD) the: 6.5.1_73_SLC-25_SIGNLATAM_USASPYRETBRLA_P016_P019_A013_A014_HWp2b_CFC_fastboot.xml.zip (from [GSM/CDMA] The EternityProject Official Motorola RAZR ROMs Thread) now I got my phone working again, but when I shutdown or reboot, it gets up in Fast Boot Mode, and only starts if I enter droid Recovery (vol_up+vol_down+power) and select "Normal PowerUp". What can I do to fix this? What did I do wrong?

Sorry for my poor English, hope you can understand.

I'd have posted at development section, but as a new user I can't post there (that sucks).
