Came across this and thought this might be useful to anyone who has bought or is thinking about buying one of these extended batteries: http://www.prweb.com/releases/MugenPower/App2/prweb10466851.htm

I know I saw somewhere someone saying they were having problems with the extended batter not reading correctly. Sounds like this Mugen app might help solve that issues.
[Motorola Droid 4] lookin4fun:
I have tried the mugen app, only had it for about 24 hours. Seem's to work bettter than Battery Calibrator. WIll update to let others know. The battery life is great with extended battery.:D
[Motorola Droid 4] gossipninja:
Yeah, at this point the D4 is only around until I can find something better (which by the looks of things, might be awhile.)

Had this come out year one, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
[Motorola Droid 4] windraver:
Just bought one. Given that I was ready to try and hunt for some alternative similar sized batteries and hack up a case for it... I'm willing to deal with some pre-made bulk. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Chuck93:
Hi

I also bought a Mugen battery but I have a problem with the battery indicator. I am using CM 11 from here and the battery indicator (on the top right) is going down very fast - at the same speed as the old battery. So I installed the app "battery monitor widget" and there it shows 1740mAh and not the full 3800mAh. I already used the Mugen calibration app but nothing changes.

Best wishes
[Motorola Droid 4] rohinsadh:
Hello,

I am also thinking of purchasing Mugen Extended 3800 mAH battery.

How has your experience been ?

How many hours does the Droid4 last and

How many hours does it take to charge it from 0 to 100% ?

Thanx

R.
[Motorola Droid 4] Moratko:
yep, its d4 with mugen 3.8battery.

any solutions?

Alternate, Cheaper Solution

I didn't see this post about that massive battery before today. Instead, I bought a 2850mah (or so they say) battery that I will link you guys to below. I just installed it, so I'll let it die and then charge it up to 100% and re-calibrate.

Wow Price is right, only $12 free shipping, as long as it doesn't blowup on you.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

i don't believe running battery down till phone shuts off, helps that much in calibrating, and I know it's not good for the battery.
[Motorola Droid 4] moamahi:
Please let us know if you get better ... I'm interested on it :)

Thank you!

moamahi
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I've been running one for the last few weeks. I'd say the capacity is better than the stock batteries it replaces, but it's nowhere near the 60% that the mah figure would suggest. I would estimate that it lasts 10-15% longer than stock.

TBH I'm completely puzzled why Motorola thought that it was a good idea to make the battery "non-removable" - it seems to me that it would have been easily possible to design the D4 with a battery similar in size to the EB41, but instead of screws and a flexi-ribbon, make it removable with the same sort of connectors you find on the D3.

Cheers,

Steve.

First Day

Remember, I'm only using it as an MP3 player and texting/email/web browsing device. The times where it was plugged were for file transfers.
[Motorola Droid 4] moamahi:
Thank you very much.

At this point I think I will nochange the original battery.

moamahi
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Up to you bro, I'll post again if I get better performance with a similar usage pattern. As far as the CPU is concerned, I have it set to the ondemand governor. No overclocking, though I did flash PurePerformances X Gold Edition tweak that I found on the forums to improve how smooth and quick my Droid 4 was in response time. I use bluetooth to connect my device to my Bose SoundLink Mini - playing Spotify - for most of the day, so that may be another factor to consider. I can say that when I left my phone alone, it's at 26% power and has been on for 1 day, 22 hours and 38 mins, which is much better than my old swollen original battery. I usually have the GPS on as well I think, for location-based social apps since my Droid will rarely leave the house anymore unless I'm going running.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
If your battery was swollen, it was time for a new battery, I have also bought a 2850mah, just installed it yesterday, and hasn't been off charger long enough to comment on usage.
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Yeah I know, I was lazy though lol.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i purchased the 2850mah battery off ebay and its a very minor difference in my opinion. running cm11 m9 and the battery lasts around 4hrs20mins of watching video on mxplayer with h/w decoder. lte enabled because 3g is very unstable (disconnects often or simply doesnt work at all)

the droid 4 i purchased was 55 bucks off ebay and im guessing the stock battery wasnt top quality. it lasted around 3hrs 30mins

cant say im complaining though considering the price was actually less than the stock battery you can find on amazon
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
WARNING ON 2850mah Battery on EBay

So soon after I posted my results of the battery, my original Droid 4 died - or so I thought. I bought a second one from Ebay a few days ago, and this morning I switched the batteries. The new D4 wouldn't turn on. It hit me right away: the phone hadn't even gotten close to dying, the battery either died or wasn't being recognized. I tried turning on my old D4 and low and behold: it worked. As if it'd never skipped a beat. So lesson learned: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Now I need to purchase a second OEM battery from either Amazon or Ebay. Unless someone knows how to test the extended battery (to see if it is still working properly) or make the D4 (if the phone(s) just simply won't recognize it - yes both don't work with it) recognize it, the extended battery is useless.

EDIT: I found out that my old Droid 4 has lost the ability to charge. So buyer beware for that battery. I don't know if it did this, or my old buddy was just on its way out on its own.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Does anybody know if you can still buy the 2850 batteries anywhere as I can't seem to find them for sale?

Anybody else had a bad experience with them?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I bought a High Capacity 2850mAh Gold in July, it is working fine, not 50% better but a little better than stock.

It sold on ebay High Capacity 2850mAh Gold

No charging issues for me.

Your charging issue could be from the battery, or bad charging port.

You didn't use the MacGyver method to power the phone so you could flash, that can cause the phone to no longer charge.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Excellent, thanks! Will order one now...

What is the correct procedure to replace the battery? What is the MacGyver method?

Propper battery status using Mugen 3800

I've partially managed the wrong battery indication issue.

This solution require paid application (maybe there is free alternative) but IMO it is very usefull tool. It's called "Automagic * Automation" and you can find it on the Google Play.

When you have already installed this app, import to it flow "flow_Mugen_20141215_100947.xml" (in attachments). Next you need to copy "12mugenbattery" script (also in attachments) into your init.d folder and set it permission to rwx r-x r-x. Finally create in /tmp file and name it "mugen" (with no extension) -it can be done in ES File explorer.

Now all you have to do is reboot your phone.

I hope you find this solution usefull.

charging issue Mugen battery 3800

Hi,

I bought Mugen 3800mAh in one D4 works well. Second D4 has some problem with charging. if the battery is discharged and I plug a charger I see the battery icon with question mark.

thanks for answer
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
Don't worry, mine is doing the same. It takes about 10 minutes to start acting normal.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I bought the High Capacity 2850mAh Battery for Motorola EB41 in July 2014

Today it failed, while i was using the droid 4.

phone just lost power, it had been +60% charged

connected to car charger, battery was ? and would not charge

Got home, wall charger the same ?, removed gold, connected original battery ,working fine again.

so only got 6 months out of it, at least it was not expensive
[Motorola Droid 4] Jishkah:
Can anybody confirm that the Mugen battery works as advertised? I've been meaning to purchase the battery, but the fact that the device reads the battery voltage incorrectly worries me... if only because I don't like the idea of using a secondary app to monitor my actual battery capacity. That, and I've kind of conditioned myself to see a red 5% signal as something catastrophic.

Is there a way to fix this without using a secondary app, or will I basically need to bite the bullet?
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
I'm affraid it need secondary app to do a math with data but using my solution you have right battery indication in the whole system (not only one gauge). I.e. it's very usefull in car navigation when battery is running low...
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
Thanks, I'm gonna try it now that my battery has arrived

Link for 10 day trial of required software

http://automagic4android.com/automagic/eval/Automagic_1_28_0.apk

I'm going to try it now.
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
Just remember that I'm running stock ROM, I'm not sure is thie method help custom firmware.
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
As it is I seem unable to import the flow into automagic. Can navigate to the file using the import option yet no flow gets created,

What are your reasons for running stock?
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
That's strange... Have you give Automagic root privilages?

I'm running stock because of it very good performance. Besides, last time I was checking CM doesn't allow PIN protection of sim card. Has it change?
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
Yes. My sim is PIN protected (it continues to ask for pin after correctly entered, unlocks after 5-10 seconds). Its still protected from when I enabled it in stock.

I have unusable performance under stock, safemode helped lots.

ill have a poke around and see if I can give automagic root privileges.
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
You can fing it under Menage/Preferance

Which version of CM allow PIN?
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
I've only ever used cm12.1, current nightly installed is one night old.

Automagic won't let me enable root permissions, likely because I am using the 10day trial.
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
I think it must be enabled for my method. After all this is a very nice and smart app and it is worth buying.

PS And after every shutdown and restarting you are asked for PIN code?
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
I may just have to buy it.

Yes, every time.
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
For me It was only after first booting and i had read somewhere that this issue is connected to kexec. Well, maybe I will try once again.
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
PurePerformancesâ„¢X_CM.1.4.zip seems to make some performance improvements under cm12.1

Its not overly significant, some things are unresponsive for 10 or more seconds ocassionally.

The incidence of lag seems to have diminished. Hopefully overclocking rounds out the difference.

[MENTION=5938399]Borchuck[/MENTION] I hope you have success with your method under cm12.1

I look forward to replicating your success
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
Thanks for your fix. However, when I tried my Mugen Power wasn't able to power on the device. I had to connect the D4 to a power source. I hope that part of the charge wasn't hidden of something. When I set it up the phone indicated 1% for about 2 hours
[Motorola Droid 4] Borchuck:
Yes, when battery is completely discharged you have to manualy edit file (for example 2% or any) because script works only if battery is more than 1%.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
So I was charging my phone, and it restarted itself and now it's stuck in a bootloop!

I can't access download mode or recovery, it keeps restarting before I have the opportunity to press any buttons (hardware or on screen) and removing the battery does nothing either, as soon as I put the battery back in, the phone resets without me even pushing the power button

I'm using Temasek CM11 v8 with the "201113-1248-cm11-i9300-r3p2-linux30101-BOEFFLA-temasek" kernel

Is it recoverable?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
I've managed to get it into both Recover and Download mode briefly, but both times the phone restarted within a few seconds back to the bootloop
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Sounds like the power button is shorted out, fairly cheap repair if so.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
Thanks for the reply. What makes you think that it's the power button shorting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Holding power button for 5 seconds acts as a hard reset, everywhere.

That's a good starting point actually. There's no reason for download mode to reboot automatically. If it loaded then it waits for the events. Either it works until you do anything with a PC, or doesn't work at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltonpestana:
hi

try using a universal battery charger and then try again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
Ah :( Well I suppose that makes it pretty conclusive. 2 hours later and it's still bootlooping... I'd take it apart but I don't really know what i'm looking for and I suspect if it's shorting, something will need replacing or soldering etc. Thanks very much :)

I don't think I have one, I shall check though. Thanks very much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweetatoo:
The issue of having it shortly resetting once reinstalled the battery sounds to me like a hardware failure, most probably hard resetting all the time.

A hardware repair should help fix this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
It's funny you say that, after hours and hours of trying to get my phone to work, somehow through more luck than judgement I managed to get it into recovery and flash WanamLite 7.2 (I figured it was the next best thing to stock, as I couldn't access download mode) and well... since then, touch wood my phone hasn't restarted itself even once... now granted in that time i've only touched the power button once, to turn on the device, but it seems like progress to me

So my question is, is it possible that I could of had a bad flash or something? It seems too coincidental to me, and I don't actually think the different ROMs have anything to do with the problem (that is still lingering beneath I suspect), but the optimist in me REALLY wants it to be fixed haha :D

EDIT: Oh and thank you tweetatoo for your reply :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Possible its the well known multipleromflashed problem .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonhotrod:
Interesting, thanks. It's just a bit confusing, it seems plausible because I flashed the ROM earlier in the day but at the same time, im not sure how much control the new ROM would have over the phone entering Download Mode... Mind boggling.

I'll keep an eye on it for a bit... and im still too scared to use the power button haha

Thanks very much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Download mode is entirely separate to the rom, I still think your power button shorted out (stuck down) as it's been reported many times before. If you have warranty then now would be the time to triangle away and return to stock for a while, just in case.

[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Based on what you describe, it sounds like you've got a problem with your phone's USB port (or could be a circuit board)... I mean, connecting multiple components to the same port all show signs of trouble (no signal using MHL, and slow charge with different power sources and cables). The easiest thing to start with is to try and clean the USB port -- use a compressed air and a wooden toothpick (carefully!). If it doesn't help, consider a service centre, especially if your phone is under warranty.
[LG Optimus G (International)] RODKNEE1231:
Well i took it to a service center and they said that the port checked out fine and they couldn't explain the message ill probably take it to a different store.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] rino757:
Hey guys, I've been following FreedomPop for a while, and they finally have support for using around 10 different Sprint phones. They are working to support more and maybe we'll be able to use the Optimus G with FreedomPop soon!

Just wanted to share my excitement for being able to literally paying nothing for basic phone usage (200 free min., 500 free texts, and 500 MB of free data)

If you guys ever go with with FreedomPop, just make sure to look through all your account options and read the small print

(They have to make money some ways)

Here's the link to their home page:

http://www.freedompop.com/home.htm

You can put in your phone's meid to find out if it's compatible at the moment.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] oohaylima:
How's your experience with them been so far?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
They use Sprint's coverage. The 200 mins are all VoIP and some say it counts toward the 500mb data. Also, there's a $3.99/mth charge to get "fast" data.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rino757:
I haven't worked with FreedomPop before, as I have been waiting for my phone to be supported.

My grandfather uses one of their hotspots (I don't remember which one) and when he came over, I tested it out.

When I used it, pages loaded faster than I would expect for a 3G connection. I would say the speed was comparable to the free wifi at a library/cafe or places like Barnes & Noble and Starbucks.

Of course, the last time I used it was months ago, so they probably improved some things.

As I said before, to use FreedomPop without paying anything, you will be running a very basic plan. (Not really a "plan", it's pay as you go)

The only thing that will cost the big bucks will be additional data, but both unlimited talk and unlimited text are much cheaper than any other service provider, aside from Republic Wireless, which is really bringing their A-game into the wireless world.

And once again, read everything! FreedomPop offers a bunch of paid services like rollover data. You may need to manually opt out of these things in order to not be charged.
