So today I was charging my phone after a little over 7 hours use and it simply jumped to 99% from 24%.

I just calibrated my battery like a week or so ago so I'm beginning to think that my battery(stock) is broken. Just ordered an Anker to replace it.

Could this be caused by charging from different chargers/sources(like standard htc charger then via usb and or another device's charger)?

Does the battery usage section report the battery usage acurately? Because I think mine doesn't, whether or not my device stays with screen of for a fair time of the time between charges/brightness at zero it still reports screen using the most power

Edit: On PyroICs 1.1.0

You can absolutely damage the battery by using blackberry chargeres, or ones that deviate too far from 5v-1a.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Not charged my phone with a blackberry charger. Just a Samsung galaxy mini's charger and a Huawei IDEOS charger. The only other power source I've used is USB power from my laptop when I'm on the go.

The OEM battery is known to have terrible life. You're better off with either a Mugen or the Anker two-pack.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Getting an Anker. Ordered today after the battery gave me the graph in OP.I hope it will be less erratic

I have both the 3600mAh Mugen and the 1800mAh Anker two-pack. Both are great. I recommend the Mugen if you can afford it.

I already have a hard rubberised case for my phone and am not too sure the 3600mAh battery bulge will agree with it, both practically and aesthetically.

Aye that's something to watch out for. Maybe go with the Anker and if your still not satisfied, look into a Muugen 18 or 36

No blue, I'm going to have to call you on this one. No damage that I can see. Been charging my old G2 with a BB charger for at least the past 4 months. No problems at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
you'll see it sooner or later, you are wearing out the cells inside it - they weren't made to take that kind of stress.

When i'm not getting ready for work i'll dig up some info on why specifically.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 757VaPtown:
Blue i would say your wrong aswell i used a BB charger form my old Mytouch 4g for about 11 months and my battery still functioned properly as was lasting its standered period of time like always.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
What's unique about the BB charger anyway?

I noticed some time back on a previous device I had(ZTE Blade) it would disable the touch digitiser as soon as you plugged it in, though it would still charge the device.

Is it something to do with the way its earthed?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I've used a BB charger on both my G2 and my MT4GS and both batteries still work as good as they should.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
...and I think someone else posted in this thread about using a BB charger and it being fine over time.

I don't care about being wrong on a personal level, no ego or anything like that - i'd rather be corrected if i'm wrong so I don't spread misinformation. So far that's at least two people (quoted from this page, didn't dig further back into the thread - cumbersome to do on the device over lunch through the browser)

So that's some people providing information based on their direct observations, it's up to me or anyone else who has supporting info to provide it to show why trickle-charging at low amperage is bad for the cells in the battery.

Just 'cause it works and you get away with it without the appearance of issues doesn't mean it's good for it or not doing damage.

I once drove my Bronco a little over 300 miles round-trip to camping in the mountains at a remote site. It was carrying all of our gear and the people were riding in other vehicles, and the Bronco was overloaded (by a lot). I only had 2 cylinders out of 8 working, the sparks were shot in the other 6. 3 were down before the trip started, didn't have a chance to change them, and at one point early in the drive I came to a quick stop on the highway from fast to nothing and flooded the engine, causing 3 more spark plugs to stop working (shoulda seen them when I changed them after I got back - 2 were outright broken lol)

The Bronco still pulled it's weight and got us there, was able to keep up and was 4-wheeling off road and lots of fun. Obviously not good for the engine, tranny etc... but it did it, and without any issues.

I've got just over 1600 logged rounds through my Glock since the last time I cleaned it (intentionally - glock is supposed to be reliable and it's a torture test i'm putting it through to see how many rounds between cleaning before a misfire)

Obviously in both cases the manufacturers don't recommend doing what i'm doing. It should be pretty plain the objects spoke about were/are being abused. Yet they function/functioned just as well as if they were being cared for properly.

The abuse of the cells in the batteries is no different then the two situations I described above. They are not designed to be charged at that trickle rate, and doing so stressed the individual cells in the batteries.

I don't have links to cite technical specifics, and i'll have to go out of my way to track down the information to put here to explain why on the technical level. I don't know how soon that may be, but it's important for us to lay this to rest one way or another.

I'd love nothing more then for the information i've put together about lithium-ion batteries over the course of my electronics education to be proved wrong due to new developments in battery technology/tolerances and that you can in fact use something like a BB charger to charge them, but it flies in the face of all I know about proper care of the cells in the batteries themselves so...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Blue is an interesting character, I must say lol...

Either way, I'll take your word for it. You probably know better than me regardless. I was just saying I saw no apparent damage. But then again this damage doesn't need to be apparent.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
always nice to get what you love! ;)

seems as if the important thing is not input current, but ensuring that the battery is not 'overcharged'.

Blue is awesome! The stories are greatness.

I also have used my bb charger on my g2 and this phone with no problems. I did eventually have a probelm charger the g2 but it was something wrong where the charfger was actually connecting. You would have to hold the phone a seperate way.. had another g2 that was fine before that one though, until I fell on it. 280 pounds > g2

Anybody else notice that the last 10% or so of the Anker drops like a stone?

Super OT I know but,

Check out Chuck Taylor's super high round count Glock 17. A million or so rounds through it. Insane. I used to have a Glock Armorer's certification back when I was the Police. Glocks are extremely durable and reliable pistols. The caveat I'll pass on is shoot no unjacketed lead, only jacketed bullets. Too many rounds with Pb and no cleaning can have you eating bits of your chamber... It is hard to write kernel code without the use of your fingers and eyes.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement.

OEM Battery in Anker Charger?

Does the OEM Battery in an Anker Charger get damaged via this method over time? Is the Anker battery that different.

I ask because the OEM seems to be losing life fast in this manner of charge.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
I'm going to guess this is a no, but I figure I'll ask anyway just in case. Is there a way to have WP7 pair to more than one BT device? For instance, pair the headset feature to my car and A2DP music to a separate receiver?

Thanks,

Ben
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rupi99:
Hi,

Yes, dual pairing is possible. The only problem is that in WP7 you can not define, which service shall be used by every device. In Android you can check at every device, whether it shall use "Handsfree" and/or "Stereo Sound (A2DP)".

But if you have an unlocked device and a registry editor, then you can tweak it in the registry.

Goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/Device

Here you find all paired devices with cryptical names (e.g. 000ff6…). Click on it and you see the "name" of device. In folder "Services" you find subfolders with supported services (Handsfree and/or A2DP). You can change "enabled" from Dword=1 to Dword=0 to disable it.

This way you can define, which service shall be supported by which device.

Greetings

rupi99:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
Perfect! In the BT screen on the phone, will this get around tapping a device to pair disconnecting from the other device, or will this only work with auto pairing?

Now I just need to figure out why my HD2 locks up and reboots on A2DP audio playback. :)

Thanks again,

Ben
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rupi99:
Unfortunately the above tweak seems not to work. At least for my HTC HD2 with Pdaimatejam 7.3 ROM. I have a bluetotooth device for my car with "handsfree" and "stereo sound" service. I want to use only the stereo. But even when I delete the "handsfree" entry in the registry my phone connects always with both services.

Regarding the reboots after connecting to bluetooth devices with "stereo" A2DP service I have the same problem with my HD2. It seems to be a common topic, maybe related to the ROM.:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
Ahh, well that's disappointing. Did you reboot after you changed the registry settings, and did they remain set after reboot? As for A2DP on the HD2 and the ROM, I have had it happen in PDA and Ultra, but not Yuki. Unfortunately Yuki has the really high BT battery drain.

I got a new laptop with Win7 Home Prem on it just like my old one and I'm trying to figure out why I can't get Windows to see the G2x.

What i loved about the phone is that my younger brother got a Iphone 3gs and he did not wanted to buy the Xperia Play because " it looks so cheap" and to be honest it does, it took him 30 seconds of playing my Play to Regret getting the Iphone 3gs, as like me he is also a hardcore gamer.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
The gamepad is one mayor thing that brought me to buy the phone.

As I consider myself a hardcore and casually retro gamer.

Many other reasons:

Decent screen size

Incredibly loud stereo speakers

Supports epileptic led mode (32hz/2000bpm)

Autofocus camera

Awesome processor and GPU (overclockeable to 2GHz!!!1!11one)

512 MBs of RAM

Easy rooting and bootloader unlocking

Comes with the best OS in the world

Built-in integration with Facebook

Some drawbacks:

SEMC skin kinda sucks compared to cooler ones

Comes with lots of bloatware

Brightness is NULL in the outsides of a sunny day

Battery does not last more than three days under default settings

SEMC launcher only has 5 homescreen slots

Built-in theme chooser doesn't do much

Front camera only works in outsides and is a 1.3 MP one

But overall, much better phone than any of those I have found people using on the streets (at least in my country).
