Finally, lastest result of my Atrix HD MAXX

Here is my first REAL LIFE results after the mod, no overheat (even over 96 F LOL), no problems at all, just a bit lower battery life than most user, but I guess is a signal issue, I lost the carrier 3~4 times a day, and that for sure consumes LOTS of battery hehe

RYL :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] L7iharsha:
Off-Topic why Atrix HD doesn't last long with EB20 Is it cause of ColorBoost™ technology or Any other reason?
[Motorola Atrix HD] huatz84:
Atrix HD has HD display so it will drain battery a lot with screen on all the time. I have a Photon Q which uses ColorBoost too. But,it can last a day with 3G on all day and normal use. Photon Q has a qHD display.
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Had my dad do the mod and am 2 hours away. It wont charge and is showing a "?" where the battery is. Anyone seen this?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Using the charger that came with the phone?
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Yes
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Hmm that's odd. Lately mine has been dying at like 50 percent. Today it died at 96 both times after plugging it in I couldn't turn it on right away because it said 1% only took 10 minutes to charge to 100 though..
[Motorola Atrix HD] bdgarel:
weird

this is kinda weird.

so i went to bed last night with my phone at like 90% woke this morning and its dead.....phone idle seemed to suck it all up.also the one thing i can think i did any differently was had mobile data turned off while in an LTE area, but i fell like that should do nothing
[Motorola Atrix HD] LeGenDz R3DeaDz:
My battery is at 105 °F with my Incipio case. Is it dangerous?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Just got mine in the mail today from Cellphone Repair Shop on amazon, has a sticker that says cellulardr.com. Also has a few light scratches on it, shouldn't affect the functionality right?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Zoide_:
Is there a way to get the EB40 battery for less than $50? That's a fairly absurd price, considering that the battery for the Atrix 2 / Droid Bionic sells for less than $10: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Atrix-MB865-Droid-Bionic/dp/B00739QKFK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1365779030&sr=8-3&keywords=atrix+2+battery
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Probably not, unless you were feeling adventurous and bought a broken RAZR maxx, harvested the battery, and resold it or something... It's all a matter of supply and demand unfortunately, plus the battery technology our battery uses is different.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Well that battery is half the size so yeah its going to be a lot cheaper.

Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] Zoide_:
Sure, but the price of the EB40 is five times greater, not twice!
[Motorola Atrix HD] aselker:
Lithium batteries are expensive. It's not that the EB40 is expensive, it's that the A4G's battery is cheap because it's for a relatively dated phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
You're comparing lithium ion batteries with lithium polymer ones. Completely different.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Exactly, and that's why our 3300mah battery is slimmer than a lot of 1700mah ones
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Uh oh... I just Maxxed my atrix... It seemed to be working fine, then vibrated rapidly a few times and randomly rebooted... This never happened before to me.

Hoping its an unrelated issue:eek:
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
That's unrelated
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Are you sure? It just happened again, never happened before...
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
I'd do a factory reset and see if it does it still. I've never had that with my mod.
[Motorola Atrix HD] fungo45:
I finally did this mod a couple weeks ago, and have been very happy with the results. I was worried about some of the negative side effects people were having here, but I'm happy to report that I have had nothing but positives. I get a couple days on average on the battery. Install was relatively easy.

If anyone was wondering, the phone still fits fine in the navigation dock.
[Motorola Atrix HD] JI_rd:
Just Great!!

Totally convinced and satisfied with my Atrix HD MAXX!! :D lasted for a whole day on heavy screen usage!!

By the way, I read in this thread something related to 3rd party chargers, today I went to an official reseller from my mobile company to recover an screwed bad-cutted Mini-SIM with a new Micro-SIM, the important point here is that in the mean time, the Attendant asked me if I got enough battery, because the number recovery requires some calls, I told her it had have enough to get it run, but they insist in putting my Atrix and charge it with their 3rd party chargers, IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! Just after they plug it to the Atrix, the screen digitizer starts working by itself!! no one was touching the screen and my Atrix was blocked because of exceeded pattern tryouts, I told to the attendant to inmediately unplug my phone from their charger and they told me that was "Like an original one", YEAH RIGHT!

By curiosity, I tried to plugged once just to see if it happens again and of course it did.

BEWARE, BY USING 3RD PARTY CHARGERS YOU CAN GET YOUR ATRIX KILLED!! NOT TO MENTION YOUR BATTERY LIFE REDUCED, Or at least that was my expirience :(

Best Regards to ALL

One more thing, I opened my Atrix today to remove a pet hair just in the middle of the camera lens and the battery was exactly as the day I put it
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
I've been using it for a few days now and it never did that again. Knock on wood it was just a fluke software glitch of some sort.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
Just ordered a EB40 today.:D
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
I did this mod a couple months ago and was ecstatic with how well it worked. However over the last week, it has seemed that once it reaches 50% battery (half a day to a day's life), it drops quickly to zero and then the phone dies without much warning.

Anybody have this issue? I cleared my cache and it didn't seem to help.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Did you do a full cycle charge lately?

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
Yeah, after it died the first time, I charged it up fully and let it die again before charging it fully.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
With the phone off?

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
The first time, yes.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Did you try using a battery calibration app after doing that to force the cache to clear?

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
No but I did clear the cache through the Motorola boot loader. One thing I've noticed is that the phone seems to be running hotter than in previous weeks. I wonder if maybe one of the cells in the battery crapped out. I'll let it die slowly today and see if charge cycling it tonight helps.

It is an OEM Motorola battery, but not everything's perfect so maybe I just got a bad one.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mandrsn1:
I believe these batteries are lithium polymer, so there isn't multiple cells in a battery.
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
Good point, I didn't even think about that. Well I rooted my phone today so that I can run the battery conditioner app properly. I'll report back with my findings.
[Motorola Atrix HD] DMANbluesfreak:
Well, it had "70%" charge left at the end of the day and I logged into my email while my car warmed up after work and i heard it make the low battery noise and instantly shut off. This is so frustrating as I have no idea when the phone is even going to die. I contacted the seller about the battery, as I'm now quite certain it is bad, but I doubt they'll do anything to replace it. I will swap the EB20 back in tonight after work and see if it lasts any longer.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
Just did the mod today on my Atrix this being my second time first doing it on a friends. I have to say this time i had a speaker issue but i have since fixed it by cutting away a little more plastic. If you do this mod it is crucial to cut the plastic that pushes down on the battery like others have suggested or your speaker may not work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
For those who decide to do this, be careful when screwing the flex cable down. Mine was frayed and possibly broken and my eb40 just stopped taking charge.
[Motorola Atrix HD] santiphapc:
I tested my Atrix HD Maxx compared to the old one.

- Full hd movie (1080p).

- Wifi on.

- Minimun dim the screen.

- Speaker off.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
Had the eb40 in for about a week and i can say i have yet to have a issue while its been in i dont even have to take my usb cable to school and charge while in tech class like i use to. :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix HD] leanix:
Wow!! Loved this mod.

I will seriously consider doing it to my Atrix HD.

Now I only have to look for a EB40 battery to buy.

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
I have mine that I am not using, but the screw holdings are a bit worn. Still work fine though.
[Motorola Atrix HD] tschlicht:
white sticker above the battery

Can anyone tell me what the white sticker above the battery is???
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
Funny thing today i had to stay in one class for about four hours due to others in school testing was on my phone the whole time listening to music and web browsing,youtube vids etc..... people in class were amazed i didnt have to charge my phone while they were sharing chargers i was cool left with 60% left:p
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Yea this mod saved the AHD for me and even has me maybe getting another lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] archildroid:
Today I joined the club of Atrix HD MAXX owners =)

Battery purchased: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Batt...s&ie=UTF8&qid=1370100561&sr=1-1&keywords=EB40

I have a question, after modding (with cutting plastic) I have two issues:

1) Under the camera and flash there's a little gap which I can feel even when holding the device

2) I can clearly see the battery square form (see the pic)

Is this normal? How can I "fix"?

Sorry I can't show my pictures, I don't have anything to take them with...
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
Mine had the same issue as yours didn't really bother me though dont know if theres a fix.
[Motorola Atrix HD] archildroid:
Also just noticed that sound has become crappy... disassembling to take a look... doh ((
[Motorola Atrix HD] archildroid:
*sound fixed

gaps are still there ( will use few days, see if it makes to feel uncomfortable or something...
[Motorola Atrix HD] archildroid:
Can I cut this upper cover with information on it? It's a bit rumbled and there is some air beneath it. Will it damage battery?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
If it peels off easily yeah if you have to cut it no. Though I don't see any what it matters since it's inside the phone? Lol.

[Motorola Atrix HD] nukesnooper:
Woo Hoo!

I did it! Awesome! My battery came in today and I did the mod in about 15 minutes. Battery meter showing about 40% charge. Don't know if that's the charge rate that I received it at, or if my meter is that far off. None the less; as suggested; I'm going to cycle it the four times and see if the battery indicator becomes more accurate. Just for snakes and gerbils; does anyone know what (if any) difference there is between the SNN5910A and the SNN5910B battery? Obviously, the "B" rev. is a later model from Motorola, but I didn't know if anyone knew what the difference in the two are. I was hoping for the newer one, and that's what I got - even though the photo showed an "A" rev. It is a brand new one from Amazon.

The difference in thickness is so negligible, that if I didn't know about it beforehand; I probably wouldn't have noticed it. With my aftermarket "gel" case, you can't tell a thing. Just a little extra "Omph!" to get it to click inside the aftermarket case, but all is well.

Also; taking the previously read advice about the speaker contacts; I CAREFULLY raised the contacts with a pair of medical quality mosquito tweezers. First shot; yeah; no speaker or ring tone. Re-did it with the mosquito tweezers and it works like a champ!

Thanks!

One happy camper.
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Is there tape between the components and the battery as well as the battery and the back cover? How easy is it transfer the tape from the old battery to the replacement?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
You don't need the tape.

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Although clearly it isn't necessary, how do you know it doesn't help? Why else would they put it there?

It could be a thermal insulator between the battery and components, and a thermal coupler to back of the phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Well I've had the phone over 6 months with the mod done inside of an otterbox and I've never had it overheat or any other type of issue so pretty safe to say it's not necessary. And as to why it's there? Well they didn't plan on you opening the phone and changing the battery out so it's there to hold it together tighter.

I've recently been getting ridiculously bad battery life on my EB40 modded AHD. Today, my phone was at 2% after 9 hours on battery, and only 40 minutes of screen on time. GPS, bluetooth all off, only thing I had on was data and I had full signal. I'm really confused - any suggestions?
[Motorola Atrix HD] pablo balkanjez:
Is there anyone who could order one EB40 for me through amazon since it cannot be delivered to Europe.

Please, contact on pm.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
really easy to transfer the tape, it keeps its stickyness so you can easily transfer. But like everyone else said, it's not necessary.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
For whoever is willing to do this: USPS doesn't allow shipping lithium batteries overseas. You can still have it shipped UPS or FedEx but shipping will be expensive.
[Motorola Atrix HD] pablo balkanjez:
Lazarole UkoLoca

Ok, could anyone recommend that in this case I place order throught intouchwireless.ca that i found since they are willing to ship to Europe :cool:

there is no other way for me to get the battery, I hope that it is a reliable online store :confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
UPS doesn't allow it either. I know, Defy shipped from Australia and it had to be shipped battery free.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
I remember looking it up and I thought you could. Easy enough to google:

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/guidelines/batteries.html

It seems the rule has changed since 1/1/13. You can ship the battery by itself but you need a lithium battery handling label & a lithium battery

safety document.

Still, it's very expensive. Using the UPS calculator, for a 4x3x1" 1lb package the lowest cost is ~$100!
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
A year ago the guy at the Australian UPS store wouldn't let the Defy be sent with a battery. I just picked up a cheapo from NewEgg since it was the cheaper & easier option than dealing with dumb international shipping laws & regulations. Sadly, its easier to ship and receive pot seeds than it is a lith-ion battery :(...well :) depending on who you are :cool:

Just got my Maxx battery from Canada, did everything by the procedure for the battery replacement...but problem emerges when i need to power up my Atrix. It wont respond to my power button, only when i connect it to charger then the green LED stands for 10 seconds, after that it tries to poweritself - red Moto logo comes up but crashes back to green LED and just does that all the time.

As soon as I get the old EB20 inside it works like nothing happened???

Anyone knows what could be the issue here? Maybe I got the EB40 with no juice in it?

strange things are happening to my atrixhd maxx (

From 100% to 50% it works just fine, with ~2 hours of screen, wifi on etc.

but from 50% to 10-15% device thinks that battery is low and is shutting down. I am able to turn it on after that, but it happens 4-5 times a day, especially when using 3g.

I tried reflashing stock Mexican rom, calibrating battery, doing several full charge/recharge cycles... nothing changed.

Is this a common issue, or my battery is defective?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dark9781:
What you may want to do is try charging to 100% before turning your phone on. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a bad battery.

Can you link which battery should I buy?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
I cant get to the link at work, but look for a reseller on amazon called cellphonerepairshop. i always go amazon, that way you're protected by a return policy if its defective.

[Motorola Atrix HD] Seabass96:
Hey guys I got my battery from cellphone-repair-shop a few days ago but only replaced it yesterday. I am really getting sub par battery life compared to what it should be. I got about 8 hours instead of the 24 to 48 hours that this battery promises. Is there a problem with the battery or is it just me. Is there something that I should have done when I received it? Maybe I should have done a full charge cycle? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
Full charge cycle, a few times even. Delete battery stats and just use as normal other than that. It takes some warming up if mine is any example.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Seabass96:
So this happened to you too? I'll try what you said and will get back with the results. Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Seabass96:
Help guys, I was fixing up my eb40 battery mod (cutting the cover) and after finishing; when i turn the phone on it shows the bootloader unlocked warning and goes straight to a blank black screen. I'm not sure what has caused it. I keep on rebooting it to no avail. Any ideas on what caused this issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
Try flashing a new Rom or backup.
[Motorola Atrix HD] codecxbox:
Also happened to me. I went to stock recovery, and wiped, and it booted fine after
[Motorola Atrix HD] Seabass96:
So I was somehow able to get into recovery, did a factory reset but I still got the blank screen. So I tried to restore my backup and it finally booted right. It works now. Thanks. Now I'm just gonna sit back and see how the battery last this time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
I got mine today. I had some speaker woes but that was easy enough to fix. It was almost at 30% on arrival. Almost charged to 100% now. I'm looking forward to seeing the boost! Hopefully it won't have to cycle numerous times to calibrate.

I know typically you shouldn't clear battery stats until the battery is almost dead. is it okay to clear the stats after a full charge? or dose it matter either way?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Really the whole battery stats thing is a myth debunked by several devs to not have any effect on battery life. You can use the battery calibration app from play store though and it tells you when to do what

Help on battery

Hello, i live in Greece. I want to buy an EB40 battery. Neither e bay nor amazon ships this battery to Greece. HELP!!!! What can i do???
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
Well, first day was a success. 15.5 hrs with 14% left.

75% screen time.

I think I'll let it die and then calibrate the battery. I love this! Heavy usage, and it reached 104F.

My eb20 hit that on a daily basis.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Yeah I remember with the stock battery my phone got so hot all the time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Seabass96:


---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

So here are my stats from my first test after a few charge cycles. It's not exactly one or two day battery life like what some of you are getting but its a descent upgrade from the eb20. Although it'd be nice to get 2 days like that other guy. As you can see I get about 22 hours but that's with a few smart actions turned on, including one that turns my Wi-Fi off whenever I turn my screen off. Overall I'm pretty satisfied I guess. Cheers.
[Motorola Atrix HD] SecretV:
So I actually did the EB40 mod and saw these things for 25 bucks on ebay. Charging mine up. Fits fine, not very protective I'd trust a very small fall. I'll report usage when it finishes charging and I've cycled once.
[Motorola Atrix HD] phoneguy101:
works

So I did this mod just yesterday and it works amazing I get 2 days worth of battery life...my phone never feels hot and I never recalibrated the battery when I installed the battery it was at 40% so I turned off the phone let it charge and the next say it was at 100% now to clear something up never ever ever ever let a battery reach 0% that is why most people have trouble its like jump starting it just use your phone like normal and the phone should read the battery correctly on its own
