dogeatdog01,

Can you tell us which reseller on EBay you got your battery from? I want to get a 1650mah battery, but the only reseller I see that carries them for our phone is Total*Power*solution out of Hong Kong. I'm hesitant to order from them because I got burned by another HK reseller last year when I bought a USB flash drive and never received it.

I have seen warnings about memory, flash drives, and batteries specifically coming from HK. Apparently they have a tendency to overrate their products spec. I figure if you got yours and it seems to exhibit the increased performance you were seeking, that if I order from the same reseller (assuming a power seller here) I won't be disappointed.

Thanks

Bad battery?

I have both a 1350 mAh and a 1500 mAh battery, and don't notice a difference in longer battery life between the two. Maybe I've got a bad 1500mAh battery? It's a Seidio 1500mAh battery, the guys who sold my 8525 to me gave me that battery plus the stock battery. I do normal call usage plus I have direct push email, so more battery life would definitely be a plus for me.

3600 mah if you can spring for it

I got a 3600mAh from Mugen Power. They have their own website, also on eBay. The price was $70 or so, if I recall correctly, took about a week to the East Coast of USA. I'm able to run IE and bluetooth all day and it only drops it to 90% on my HTC TyTn
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] galaxys:
Sounds good...how much does it add to the back sticking out and weight?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] knoxtradamus:
size matters after all?

It adds 1/4" to the thickness, I'd guess maybe 20 - 30% heavier. I actually like the feel better, the bulge puts more surface in contact with my fingers and I'm less nervous about dropping it. The great advantage is that I can leave it on my belt with BT always on and no worries about battery capacity. Now, as soon as I can get stereo radio over BT, everything will be as copacetic as possible until the next technological breakthrough.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] 8526WM6:
Any Update?

I have an 8525 with original battery...if I use internet for 10 minutes, it drops from full charge to 50 percent. Has the 3600mAh battery price dropped since the last post? Or, has it been made smaller?

I did a few experiments with mine using wifi router with the charger on. Either the radio or the battery heated up and it got pretty warm and the charge only lasted maybe 30 minutes...my laptop registered the wife connection as a 54g connection.

However, I got the idea of placing it in front of an airconditioner and it didnt lose its charge, infact it stayed at 100 percent charge. This leads me to believe it's the heat that affects the electronics creating resistance and thus burning more power.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Wam7:
Using WifiRouter will kill the battery in no time. I had my phone plugged into the normal 1000 MAh charger that comes with the phone and the battery was STILL going down even though it was being charged! :)

You are right on the heat issue as when I put the phone on a cool metallic surface then the battery stayed at 100% when plugged into the charger. As soon as I put on a soft insullating surface i.e quilt, the battery started to go down.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] 8526WM6:
Cool getting that confirmatin from someone else....maybe someone should develop a cooler fan for these batteries...might sound ridiculous but it works...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Riccardinho:
I got a 1500mah one from Morpeth Mobiles via ebay, and it's shocking. You can fry an egg on it when charging, and it lasts less than 6 hours with 3G turned on. Worse than my 1350mah original which is now 15 months old.

Not happy... the one thing that irks me about the Hermes is battery life. For a full day I need two fully charged batteries to survive, even with only normal usage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] galaxys:
Anyone tried this 1650 on the Hermes lately? If so, is it OEM size or not fit w/o sanding? Where did U buy it? I'm debating this 1650 vs the 1500...

UPDATE Edit: Replaced my 18 month old 1200 with a slim 1600 ($7 ebay) battery a few days ago. What a world of difference, it holds a 90% charge for a very long time!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Jawadali:
For any of you who have recently bought batteries (especially off of eBay), would you mind sharing which seller your purchased from?

I recently bought a secondhand cingular 8525, and while doing some testing today with wifi, the battery dropped from ~90% to 20% after about 30 minutes of surfing the internet with Opera Mobile 9.5 beta.

Here are a few of the replacements I was considering on eBay:

Standard form factor:

1350mAh "OEM" HTC battery - $7 shipped

1350mAh "OEM" HTC battery - $7 shipped (another seller)

1650mAH high capacity battery - $13 shipped

Extended High Capacity ("Fat") batteries with included covers:

2800mAh - $12 shipped

3000mAh battery - $16.50 shipped

Any item or seller feedback is appreciated.

I think the phone is almost 3 years old, and I don't know if the battery has ever been replaced. I plan on using it mainly to check e-mail/assignments while on campus and make calls via Skype (since I subscribe to Skype pro) in order to save my prepaid minutes with T-mobile USA. My total talk time per day (phone + Skype combined) is usually 30 minutes, but I'll have Wi-Fi on most of the time.

I haven't yet decided whether to get a regular battery or an extended battery. I'd like to avoid getting an extended one since the device is alreaday pretty bulky as it is, but If it'll let me have round the clock Wifi and/or prevent me from having to charge every day, it may be worth it (which means I'll have to look into getting a belt clip/holster :)).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] gypsygirl13:
^IMO if you're going to let your wifi open 24/7 I think it's best you get the extended battery.

I myself ordered a 1500mAh since I mainly use my phone for texting and a few calls. I would connect to wifi when I need to update my weather, email and device update. I only use the internet browser when I go out and that is if the place I'm going to has wifi. So for your needs I think it's better to get the extended one, at least you won't need to worry your device will die on you at the end of the day. I think as I've read from other people's experience here their battery lasts for more than 2 or 3 days and sometimes longer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] boak:
my battery is take 12 to 14 hours for standby in chat (with JiveTalk)

and only take 2 hours for active chat,

and only take less than 1hours for HSDPA active

and take 2 days for GPRS only

was it normal or not?

I am using 1350 mah battery

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Jawadali:
Thanks for the reply. I most likely won't have the Wi-fi connected 24/7, but will connect to it for about 10 minutes every hour to check e-mail or as needed.

I'm thinking to go with one of the OEM 1350mAh batteries for $7 shipped, and then depending on how long it lasts, I may go for an extended battery.

There doesn't seem to be any good cases/belt clips that fit the Hermes with extended batteries, which is another reason for why I may just get a regular battery.

Folks, please post your battery experiences with e-tailers/eBay sellers if possible.

I'm a Hong Kong user,

just do a research from the internet, seems the best battery is made by a china maker named "A happy pig".

My 1500mAh just arrived today. I'm using it right now and it's already half charged. Going to be using it as a spare, hopefully it will perform well if not better than my than old battery. By the way my other batt's capacity is 1300mAh.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] christopherwoods:
I use a couple of 1500mAh Cameron Sino batteries in my phone, as well as my regular 1350mAh battery (when I can find it). Bought the Cameron Sino batteries from Morpeth Mobiles and while the batteries do get quite warm during usage (what do you expect?) when I did have a faulty battery, they replaced it really quickly at no extra cost. Can't fault them for customer service.

One of the CS batteries has an XEll holographic sticker over the CS logo so it may be a B-grade battery (indeed, it sticks out very slightly compared to the flush appearance of Cameron Sino branded batteries, almost like it wasn't put together as well as the A grade batteries) but it doesn't seem to perform any worse than the other batteries.

I live in an area with good 3G reception (central Birmingham) but in my house I have borderline 3G reception. Where I work and go to Uni I have excellent reception, however.

Usage and battery life...

Regular usage for me using the web, make a few phone calls and send a few texts. Push email's also checking every 15 minutes and 3G is always on. With those settings, I'll get nearly a whole day day out of it, but it's close sometimes! Usually plug it in when I get back home anyway. With 3G disabled and running on GPRS, I can get two days out of the battery using it in the same fashion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] gypsygirl13:
My Cameron Sino 1500 mAh battery is working pretty well, lasts more than a day that is if I don't play too much games :D. I don't have heat issues, it does get a bit warm when it's charging but I think that's normal. Hopefully I won't encounter any problems with it. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Macs_mzz:
I got the 1500 mAh for 10€ from UK (EBAY).

It does not impress me either as duration when new and even less on the duration decay in the medium term. After 3 months it is at the level of my 1.5 years old 1350mAh.

At present drops a good 10% on an 5 minutes call.

I will update my radio (very old version) but this is still pretty much of a drop.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] al8525wu:
Same problem

The original battery is very flaky for me now. Sometimes even at 40%, it would suddenly go to 1% and the phone would turn off.

Talk time is absolutely horrible, 10-15mins max before the battery very low warning comes on.

I would really like to buy a decent battery but weary of Ebay. I bought one of those high capacity thick batteries before but it was poorly made and it would not stay connected to the contacts so sometimes the phone would be off. I had to put a piece of paper on one side to "push" the battery into the contacts.

Are the claimed OEM batteries on Ebay actually OEM? I'm thinking of trying one of those to see whether or not it'd improve overy my current battery.

Hey all,

recently my SMR-810 has been playing up.

Battery usually would last me 2-3 days, but for the last few weeks I've only been getting 12 hours out of it.

It all started after one night when it turned off by itself, even though the battery was still on 40%.

Since then, it has also been having slow down issues, where it will act as if it is in battery saver mode.

Some days the step counter stops working as well, until I do a restart.

Gestures also stop working sometimes until I do a restart.

I've done a factory reset, and that didn't fix any issues.

Watch is running One watch UI 1.5 with Tizen version 4.0.0.7.

Any suggestions as to what I can do?

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] mbreezy:
I've tried everything, so hopefully someone can shine some light into this issue.

I bought a new (unused but from a 3rd party) Samsung Galaxy A50 (A505U) Verizon branded and unlocked. Got a sim card from Visible and went to get it connected. Nothing. WiFi works, everything works, but no cell service.

Here's what I've done (some multiple times)

- reset everything to include network settings, hard reset, etc

- removing the sim, resetting, putting the sim back in. I always get a notification saying the sim card is removed and it goes away when I put the sim back in, so it is recognizing a sim card is in there

- switched sims with another Visible phone/sim and nothing. Both sims worked on other phone but neither worked on this phone

- tried getting into the hidden menus but none of them worked

- talked to Visible tech support which upgraded the issue to the highest level and concluded it's the phone

- Visible believes it's the APN settings but I cannot edit current APNs nor add new ones (grayed out)

- manually add networks, I can see Visible, TMobile, ATT, and some weird numbers, but when I try to connect to Visible it says cannot register on the network, other networks say the sim is not setup for them

- sometimes I get the icon that shows all bars but they're grayed out, sometimes it shows 3-4 bars lit up, sometimes even shows a 4G icon, but mostly the grayed out bars

- sent the phone to Samsung, they tested it and found no faults, guess the hardware is good, ruled that out.

- got into dev options but I'm aware the OEM unlock is not on option on the A505U, not sure if I can change anything else.

I'm out of options. Any other ideas? I think if I can either get into the hidden menus I'll be able to diagnose it better, or if I can somehow change the APN settings I'll be able to set it up. Visible tech support thinks it's the APN, which makes sense to me, but I can't change them.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] linuxgator:
I've had a similar issue. Was working fine until the Android 10 update arrived. Since then, it won't work with my total wireless sim card. Tried 3 different sim cards on it, but nothing. Can't add it do anything with the APN, and getting into the phone info hidden menu doesn't help any. I suspect it's a bug in the new firmware or something like that. Works fine with a Verizon SIM though.

Update: Verizon SIM no longer connects to phone. Still works with LTE data. It seems that the CDMA radio quit working with the update to Android 10. Must have been collecting to the Verizon network with VoLTE until it updated the provisioning or something.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] linuxgator:
So, I finally figured out a workaround for mine that was able to get both data and voice networks to connect while using total wireless, which is an MVNO on the Verizon network. I pretty much narrowed it down to being an issue with the modem not working with CDMA. What I did was download the last Android 9 firmware and flashed just the modem (file starts with CP_) using Odin. After that, I rebooted it and voila! It connected.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] darkmage1991:
Just thought i would give my experience as i just delt with this. i got my 10 update this morning nd let it update and apon a reboot i lost all mobile connection, a signal bar would show for a few seconds looking like it was trying to lock in a signal and it would go back to the ⌀ symbol. i tried flashing the android 9 modem from 2 different updates and neither fixed it. i just decided to order a new phone as i feel its time anyways. my next attempt will be to flash android 9 back using odin then just throw this phone up on craigslist

edit: odin successfully flashed back to android 9 and signal now works again. so if anyone has this issue you can try the method above of just flashing the modem and if that doesnt work you can go back to 9 and restore functionality of verizon mvno's

samsung a50 not connecting to VZW towers (red pocket)

My phone is doing the exact same thing and while I can appreciate how you resolved the issue it doesn't make much sense to me.

I use Red Pocket for my network. (Which uses Verizon towers - I use the CDMA Sim)

Before this major update to 10 my phone worked flawlessly. Now it won't connect to the network much like you guys have stated in this thread. Mine will connect intermittently for like 3 or 4 min tops and then get kicked off the tower and will actually not show any bars (Circle with a line through it) to show no service for about 10 or so minutes then restart the whole process.

I also have a work phone (2nd phone) that is directly tied to the verizon towers on the verizon network. If I take the sim out of that phone and put it in my samsung a50 the samsung a50 is happy and can make phone calls, send texts, and stays on the vzw towers with no disconnects.

If I take my red pocket sim card and place it in my work phone that phone also works just fine - send messages, make phone calls, and stays on the vzw towers with no disconnects. (work phone = iphoneXR - it's free, sue me)

Even though reverting the modem obviously fixes your issue I do not think that is the actual problem. It also doesn't seem that a third party carrier is being randomly booted off the towers, it seems to be a glitch with third party carriers using third party sims utilizing this new android 10 software that VZW towers do not like.

Which obviously points to an issue with Samsung's latest software not being compatible with third party carriers.

I can't seem to contact Samsung in a direct manner to resolve this issue as they want me to take it to a third party store to have it looked at. I spent 2 and half hours with tech support from red pocket and they came to the conclusion that VZW was doing "upgrades/maintenance" to their towers in my area. (whatever that means.

Any ideas on how I can contact Samsung directly to detail this issue to them? I really do not want to have to root my phone in order to use odin to set my modem back to version 9 as I'm hearing that doing so voids all kinds of implied warranties with the phone and it's only 6 months old.

Appreciate any help that you guys might be able to steer me towards.

Thanks.
