Is seidio aware of the battery reading issue on Tilt/Kaiser devices? Has a work around been found for this? Because I tried two different extended batteries from two different manufacturs and the both read incorrectly no matter what. I would like to know about this before I buy this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Brickcity:
I got it!

Thanks Seidio!

The back-cover is cheap plastic worth $10 - $20 it's not tight like the one on the Tilt is.

Camera hole is tapered down to half the size shown in the picture.

It fits in my HTC case(one strap Velcro type), ok for now.

It advises to charge for 8 hours before use.

More later....

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Brickcity:

It's not on tight and keeps popping off!!!

Anybody know if that Mugen cover fits on tight?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BUMP THAT:
I have the mugen one and it stays on pretty well. It wiggles a little bit but not enought to ever come off when using it. The Only time it comes off is when I have it in a case and through it in my gym bag. I dont know if the cover comes off from me throwing it in or if its the constant shifting in the bag. Overall I like the product, I just wish it would read correctly!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Brickcity:
Thank you.

Today I will leave the new cover on all day "maybe if I leave it on long enough dust will help it stick tight" with the fully charged battery.

Please HTC don't change the direction of the slide out keyboard again!!!!

It's been 9 months since I used my 8125 and I'm still trying to open my Tilt the wrong way.

Yes, the new battery gives it that 8125 feel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hardcorp:
Ok... just got mine

The back cover is only slightly lighter in color than the oem cover.the rubberized texture is identical to the touch as the oem.The cover pops off very easily, which may be a problem so therefor I will have to find a way to prevent it from randomly comming off.

The battery makes the phone a little heaver then the stock battery but not so heavy that it bothers me.With the back cover on , it fits in my hand very well and I find myself using the camera hole as a finger grip.

I will report more about the battery when I see how long it last.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] seidioseidio:
Once the clips on the door have clicked in your door shouldn't pop off randomly.

I just tested some product from inventory and the doors clicked right in. Because it is thicker than the original door, it does add surface area which may make it easier to push from the bottom and remove. When installing, you may also try applying a little bit of down pressure evenly across the door to insure all the clips click into place.

If your door is popping off on its own, it's either not on completely or needs to be replaced.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at forum@seidio.com.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Brickcity:
Now I see why the battery cover comes off so easily:(

After one day of use.

My battery life got down to 15%. I had to stream some music for 20 minutes for it to reach the 10% mark and low battery warning.

I turned the phone off and on 3 times and got the low battery warning!

I took the battery out and put it back in and got 59% battery left:eek:

Is this normal that I have to keep taking out the battery to get more power out of it:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hardcorp:
It has been discussed before about the battery monitoring hardware within the tilt not able to accurately display battery percentage...

So yes you have to take the battery out then back in and keep going.

after 24 hours I am at 24% with very little use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hardcorp:
seidioseidio I owe you an appology!

I had some time to play with the cover a little today. When I was pushing the cover in place I gave it a little extra and I heard a click and when i tried to remove it again after, it was locked in place MUCH better.

after repeating it several times it locked in every time...

Anybody else having a problem with the cover coming off.... Give it a little more pressure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] warwolfx0:
not sure it this will help but i heard that if you run the battery out until the the unit shutdown on it's own, then fully charge it, might calibrate the battery.

anyone with the problem above give it a try and post here if it works
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hardcorp:
ok....On the first charge I got 56 hours?

Other than the normal stuff this is what I have running...

weatherpanel ( receiving updates w/ radar every hour)

W.I.M.P.

Windows live (Email only- receiving as they arrive 8 total)

backlight set to 60%-Screen is off when not in use.

22 min. talk time

67 min game playing

22 text msg.

3 mms.

20 min web browsing

After the first 27 hours the battery went dead and I removed the battery then put it back and went back to 48% then after 29 hours went dead for good. took a total of 7 hours to recharge.

I hope there is something i'm missing because a 3200 mAh battery only lasting a little over 2 1/2 days? maybe it will get better as time goes on.

I would love to here how everyone else is doing with there battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
i jsut got my batt yesterday and i am doing the initial charges for it so it that i can start performing up to par. but i am wondering when seidio will release the clip for the extended batt because non of my cases fit in it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] juiceppc:
So is this battery still not reporting the percentage correctly?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
yup thats correct, still not getting the right percentage on the meter, and you would need to pull it out and put it back in to get more out of it. you can do it about 3 times until the batt fully drains out

Any new updates on the status of the 3200 mah battery? I am referring to the readings on it and the way it seems to be having issues with not working correctly or reading the battery status correctly.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
i dont think he is referring to that. i think he is asking about the battery read problem in which is still a problem with this battery. it still displays incorrect battery readings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] houstonjudge:
I have been having mine for about 2 weeks now and I can get about 13 hours out of it before it shuts off. Then I have to PULL the battery and put it back and it's back up to 66% and I get a few more hours out of it.

This doesn't make any sense and I hope someone comes up with something soon to fix this problem...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] randomtask16:
Yes definaltely.

I've seen this with several phones/mfg though.

My Blackjack I and 8525 Both had a similar issue where the % was very innacurate, the last 20% or so, was in reality, about 50% of the remaining charge.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chapelhill:
Some info available about Battery Monitoring system!

For those of you who are bright enough, with enough experience and willing to do a bit of programming for the battery monitoring, the attempt to get Android on the kaiser has accumulated some good information on the Kaiser.(You can eliminate me on all 3 counts!)

More specifically the hardware monitoring system for the Batteries:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserBAT

Reading the document the battery monitoring uses accumulated and consumed charge, so some driver somewhere has to have a value set in it that represents the full charged accumulated charge status for the standard battery and therefore no tweaks are going to make any difference for larger batteries until at least that value is changed.

There may also be some battery charging Algorithm that also uses accumulated charge to prevent from overcharging and damaging the Battery. The theory (From Battery university) http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

for Lithion Ion is to charge until 4.2v is achieved which would typically be just over an hour and then charge current decreases and should then be stopped once the current reduces to just less than 3% of the rated charge current.

If I were a phone manufacturer i might be tempted to put a charge capacity limit as well as a belt and braces solution. It may well use the same value set in the battery driver.

Another problem with a high capacity battery is that you are now charging at up to half the rated charge current for the new battery. It may not be a problem as I almost always use a usb charger for mine (which charges at roughly of 500mA compared with the 1000mA for the wall plug) and I have not noticed any different capacity from using the wall plug charger.

Ideally we would need to know if a fully discharged battery is left to charge for 3 hours with a wall charger what is the open contact battery voltage for that state. 3.8v would indicate an approximate 50% charge state and 4.2v a fully charged battery. We would be hoping for a voltage indicating 70%, anything less than that would likely mean there is an accumulated charge limitation for the charging circuit.

Hopefully this should be an easy to quickly experiment for the right person, and that this posting might bring some focus and attention to the activity.

Many thanks to all of you who contribute to the site.

Seidio 3200 Extended Battery

I ordered the Seidio 3200 battery and tried charging it in my AT&T 8925 Tilt. I left it on charge until the light turn Green.

Starting using it and within 8 hours I was at LOW battery and system died. I removed the battery and put it back in and the battery indicated goes up to 73%.

What is the deal here. Is it my phone that does not understand that it has a larger battery or is it the battery. Since that time I have sent the battery and got a new one and the same thing.

Is there some software utility to tell the Pocket PC that it has a larger battery.

Confused....????...!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrphatpat:

well other than that how does the battery work. do you get the life you should. i bought the 3000mah battery that is a muygen and it sux....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] houstonjudge:
Anymore word on this battery charging problem with the Siedio 3200. It looks like no one has been talking about this in months. Is there still NOT a fix. I'm still pulling my battery out when I need some extra time..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Interesting to see that thread now. I bought my Kaiser 2nd hand,and it came with 3 batteries. Usually I would always use the same battery and have one spare in the bag in case, and now just bought an extended battery for particular uses (long-run gps). It's not the seidio one but a no name $18 2600mAh.

Interestingly I noticed such a thing and was running some tests to understand the behavior, while also checking the capacities of my batteries with an intelligent charger.

When I received the extended battery I put it in the phone and started draining it as fast as I could to make a full discharge before charging it. I set the phone to listen to a webradio streamed over Wifi and send it to an A2DP headset, while also running the GPS and a photo slideshow with full screen brightness. It lasted 4 hours with an average 400mA current draw (said batterystatus). That's approx 1600mAh. The battery meter was at about 75% when starting, dropped quickly to about 20% and spent about 3 hours between 20 and 0.

Results are normal for a new battery in storage condition. The battery was really empty at the end. And that Garmin ROM also seems to be quite efficient... my previous WM6 ROM would for sure have drawn more doing the same.

Now the interesting thing, I then swapped the battery and put one of my normal ones, that was charged. I drained it and it didn't last very long at all.

I then put that one on charge on an external charger, which charged 600mAh. I thought that particular battery was somewhat dead and put it aside. I then fully charged the extended battery in the phone, and removed it, then proceeded to discharge/recharge my other 2 standard and got normal running times.

After that I inserted my extended battery again (it was fully charged), and ran it down. I got the same running time than with the standard batteries. Once the phone had shut down I took the battery out and discharged it on the intelligent charger, this removed about 1200mAh. I fully recharged it, got 2500mAh. So this means the phone used 1300... and miraculously the rated capacity of the standard battery is 1350mAh.

I then cycled my 3 batteries, and all got between 1200 and 1300, so that means the 700mAh discharge of the other day was a mistake from the phone too, and my battery is not dead.

So, from the above, it seems the battery can be discharged completely (the first discharge used more than the capacity of the standarc battery), BUT it must not be completely full in the first place... because if it is the Kaiser will assume it's a standard one and will turn off once the normal capacity has been used. I'm not done with my tests yet, perhaps if the battery is emptied completely and then charged in the phone it might be better. But what's sure is that it doesn't like batteries being swapped randomly.

That's a bit of a design error, the low battery shutdown should be triggered by low voltage ONLY, not capacity. Capacity allows you a more precise battery meter in the middle, but both ends should be voltage only.

Now i want to upgrade,i wanted an OnePlus 3 but he's ruined now and i really want to hear some things about the P9. About performance,battery,updates (+other things)and if there are any stable custom rom (i didnt searched nothing about). Thanks a lot !
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] pwoita:
3GB RAM seems plenty good (though I don't play games on it)

Camera is good (this is a big deal since the camera is such an important part of a smartphone)

Performance is great for me (non-gamer)

Battery life is awesome compared to my 5 year old phone that ran Android 4.

Hate the stock launcher, but Nova fixed that and I really like my P9.

Only real pain in the ass was rooting it, but maybe others had no problems rooting.

Not sure about custom ROMs because it is still pretty new.

Seems Nougart beta update is here, but lots of people trying to go back so I'll wait till it is out of beta.

btw - isn't the P8 only a year old? are you really buying a new phone every year? If so, you have too much monies. gimme gimme gimme some plz lol
