Strange. I don't have any sort of problem like that and the battery behaves very consistently.

Have you tried a full discharge cycle on it? Basically, put the 1800mah in, let it run down completely till the point the phone switches off. Then put it on charging and let it fully charge for some hours. Then use it.

I would do it at least once, if not twice. It will make the current display more accurate.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
PhoenixAG: I haven't done it, but I can certainly try it. Currently I'm running without OCing so we'll see if that does anything. Then maybe I will try draining it, and/or the hard reset.

dnts: Do you think if one was to remove the PCB from the standard battery and use it in the 1800mah it would work, or would it be confused by the much-to-high capacity? Not having opened one, is the controller the same size, same connections? This is probably out of my soldering league, but I'm curious since I have the 1200, 1500, 1800 I would have enough to try anyways?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dnts:
I tried to use the original PCB with the 1800mAh battery - it will not work -read 0 capacity regardless of battery status and the PDA will shut down as soon as the charger is removed, although battery is charged. The smart device in the PCB has a battery backed RAM that is probably set-up in the factory, and once disconnected from power (when moving the PCB from one cell to the other) the RAM content is lost.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
If you don't have any soldering experience, I would not recommend having your first go on a battery :) specially a battery of a device which is so expensive...

Batteries are quite dangerous, if messed around with and proper care should be taken if one is opening them.

I would suggest the cycling method. Usually, Lithium Ion batteries must be kept as charged as possible but its always a good idea to do a full discharge every few months to keep the battery in optimum condition and its charge meter accurate.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
Actually I have some news on this…. As unlikely as it seems, overclocking seems to have been the problem, (or part of the problem).

I ran the 1800mAh for 2 days without OCing and it was VERY stable. So I considered what/how OCing could cause a problem, and I thought it maybe had to do with the fluctuating CPU speeds. I’m running in a scaling fashion, ranging from 200Mhz to 585Mhz. I wonder if the up and down CPU speed affected what it thought the decay was on the battery.

So, working on that assumption I turned off scaling and have the CPU clocked to a stable 520 and the battery seems stable still, (not fluctuating) but seems to discharge MUCH faster then without overclocking, (higher then it should for just OCing…)

But it’s only been 2 days with constant-OCing so I’m still testing that theory out, I dropped back to NO-OCing to see if the decay rate was/is higher or if its just my imagination.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dnts:
Did you mean 250MHz or do you have some uber-Prophet that can do 520???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm using the battery in a JAM, not a Jamin,

So I actually mean 520, (from the base 416)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Um, I know the batteries are very similar on a Jam and the Jamin but just to let you know, this battery was specifically advertised for the Jamin. The seller had another battery which was advertised for the Jam.

Maybe the circuits are different in the two? I am glad you found out part of the problem. I don't feel the need to overclock, so I have not been.

I have found the battery to be very stable.

I think that the estimation on battery life and time remaining will be definitely affected, specially if you have the overclocker set to scale.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
Yes, initially that was a concern for me, but my original JAM battery was a PM16A which is the same as th 1800 and the voltage is the same, so I went for it. I think ultimately they are compatible... there are lots of places that list the battery for the Jamin and the Jam as the same battery, probably the guy had only tested it on a Jamin, or figured "Who owns a JAM anymore" :-(

:-)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Heh, then I'm sure there should be no problem using it.

So, has the battery been behaving normally now?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
No more wild fluctuations, which is great. It doesn't seem to be holding a charge as high as an 1800mAh should be... I'm on the first day of trails without any overclocking at all. I have the numbers from the constant-OC days and will compare them to the no-OC days.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hofo_mofo:
Now if you really want a beast a 3000mAh battery from Lion Battery will be coming soon (made by Mugen Power means quality!)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] DavidT.:
Any updates on this 1800mAH battery for the guys who have it? How are they performing and are they lasting long? How is the battery holding up? I'm considering this battery for my S200.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] story:
Any other comments regarding this battery?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joe_dude:
I have one... been using it since around June of last year. Works fine, battery life increased a bit, but not a huge difference. YMMV.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] 2241Alexanders:
PIC12F675 any good?

I am using the 1800Mah battery for prophet from digipartner-hk (±18 euro) a week now. It works longer than the original one, but that battery is 18 months old so they can't be compared completely.

The information about battery-performance is quite useless:

- The temperature reading is always 26.5 ºC

- The power consumption is either 642 or -181 mA, whatever I do

- The remaining power percentage fluctuates: During heavy use it goes down

and later it gooes back up again.

I've tried several info-tools (SKtools, batterystatus, battest), with or without overclocking/scaling, all with the same results.

The battery is easy to open; the microcontroller is PIC12F675, as described by DNTS few posts before.

I can live with bad battery-info, but not with bad battery.

My question is: Does anyone know if this chip charges just as bad as it informs?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] littld:
I am using the same one - it's $4.61 from http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6398

It does work, no idea how long it lasts compared to the old one yet. I will plan some testing. I think I might just run it from a full charge and see how long it lasts with each.

My power consumption is also fixed at 181 and the temperature is always 26.5.

I think for $4.61 it's either a great replacement battery to use all the time or at the very least a good backup battery for longer trips.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] 2241Alexanders:
Good price it is then

If the battery itself (not just the chilpset) is the same then it's for sure a good price. The only thing to be alert on is that in another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1615096#post1615096) a lot of people report that they receuved a 1200mah battery instead of the sold 1800 one.

PM16A 1800 ma battery - EXPERIMENT

A small experiment for info plz. 1. Took original battery (Dynapak PM16A 1200 ma Taiwan), removed its plastic casing, disconnected the cell from microprocessor circut. 2. Then took 1800 ma battery (chinese which shows 181 ma continuous drainage), put in jamin, drained completely by heavy usage till shut down/reset, took out battery from jamin & opened battery casing/plastic cover, disconnected cell from microprocessor circuit (which is different from PM16A battery circuit). 3. Did solding of 1800 ma cell to the original PM16A circuit. 4. Fully charged the battery in device. 5. Finally compared the power management of original PM16A circuit + 1800 ma cell with 1800 ma chinese battery (with its original circut). 6. RESULT: marked improvement in power management with PM16A circut + 1800 ma cell in companion to chinese battery. Sorry for any mistakes. The message compiled on jamin

hi, i just tried to flash Pacman 4.4 Rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670076 but it stopped at the animated "PACROMS loading" Screen (after flashing Rom, Gapps and rebooting).

I had Vipers 5.1 installed before. Restoring my nandroid backup it rebooted after Vipers loading Screen and stopped at the white HTC screen. :crying:

Installed new Vipers now and that worked but all my Settings are gone.

Should i try to restore my backup now again? and what could have been the Problem with the pacman Rom?

my Sensation xe is rooted, s-off, supercid and i used 4ext recovery

thanks in advance and sorry for mistakes. English is not my native language :P
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
I don't know if it helps in any way, but since cwm is kinda old (as far as I know) I'd say install latest 4ext recovery and try again.

Did you wipe everything before flashing pac?
[HTC Sensation] snierecht:
oh my bad im new into all this

i have 4ext recovery already (not cwm) and yes i wiped everything
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
What hboot and firmware are you using? And is your 4ext latest one? (v. 1.0.0.6 RC1)
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
Hi,

try to restore backup, then don't erase nothing with a new install of Vipers5.1.0 but dont wipe anything, it maybe fix your bootloop
[HTC Sensation] snierecht:
thanks, i had an older 4ext Version (something like 5.xxxx without touch), i updated it now

i guess that will also fix my restore Problem ?

hboot 1.27.1100

Firmware was 3.33 as far as i remember but cant find it at the moment, where can i look it up?
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
It might help, not sure if it really does. Try out and tell us.
[HTC Sensation] snierecht:
got most things set up again now, had some titanium backups^^

dont want to ruin it again

found this in another thread

could this be the reason for not restoring my backup?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scothern99:
So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.

First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.

Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....

I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.

Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.

Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
You guys need the stock recovery in order to install the OTA. It won't work with a custom recovery, it'll just boot to the custom recovery and not do anything. You can install the OTA with s off and root but you still need the stock recovery. You install the stock recovery the same way as you did the custom. Adb -> flashboot flash recovery *path of recovery*.

There are also videos on YouTube on flashing recoveries to the m8 if you need more help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xRogerxC:
You can install the update, and when you have the chance you can s-off using the weaksauce/supersu/firewater method. I picked up a new M8 a couple nights ago and took the update, and afterwards did the temproot/firewater method and it worked just fine. Hope this helps.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
In order to install update, you need to have STOCK recovery and STOCK Rom....NOT debloated or with mods....STOCK.

Again, you need STOCK recovery using a STOCK Rom.

If you have modified the system in anyway, it WONT work until you put it back to STOCK.

No need to take ota. Ota us our enemy. Lol.

After those 2 things you will have the full ota. New radios everything.. flashing a stock recovery taking ota flashing back is not needed.

Thanks guys it was annoying having that update keep popping up and no real computer to lookup info or soff. As for getting updates after roming the phone usually just wait for authors to incorporate the updates.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Justas:
For the last few weeks my phone was dying at 50% battery (no turning off animation, just instant shutdown). I changed my ROM from Cyanogenmod to Paranoid Android, the problem still remained. Few days ago phone started to random reboot. Today I removed the case and found out that the glass of the back of the phone is very shattered, and a bit swollen (few mm above phone level). Now It doesn't even turn on (bootloop with Google text).Is it possible to return it for warranty (phone is about 8 months old) or should I just buy a new battery and a back cover.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I would contact Google/LG, but to be honest, even though it is 8 months old, you opened it up and glass is broken, then chances they will warranty it out are pretty slim... Replacing the battery and back cover is a very viable option though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
If you didn't open your device I guess you should get warranty.

In any case: if the battery is expanded (swollen) do NOT turn it on or connect to A/C! The battery might explode/catch fire!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Justas:
I didn't open it up, I removed protective case, not the cover.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belictony:
Don't worry. If you can make it to bootloader flash stock rom and lock boot loader. If you can't make it to boot loader, the warranty will be denied if the damages are due to custom ROM. Using custom ROM alone cannot be said as a reason for denying warranty.

I had the same problem. The back panel slightly bumped and I flashed stock rom and bootloader as soon as I saw it. Since it was the beginning stage of battery swollen out, they put a new battery under warranty. They asked me question like how long would you charge, etc... Tell them 1.5-2hrs. Chances are 50% that they will accept under warranty.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnight911:
I've got exacly same problems with mine. Since my warranty has run out I've just bought new battery and changed it myself. Everything works now as it should. Try warranty, if not buy new battery and back cover if you need.

I will say though, that when it is connected, even with a weak signal, it still runs much faster than my S3 does.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
Keep in mind the signal when not on a call is based on the 3G or 4G data signal.

When on a call the bars are based on the 1X voice signal.

I know on my old HTC phone HTC always went by voice signal as far as the bars you saw regardless of phone state, then in the last update they changed it to showing data, which was always lower.

Maybe some of your older phones are similar.

My first Samsung though so dunno.
