Mugen 3000mah ordered!

Hello,

Just ordered Mugen Power 3000mah battery from http://www.mugenbattery.com USA.

Desperately waiting for my slim little diamond to become "Diamond Brick" :D :D :D

But I think, now I will actually fully use my phone with this fat battery.

Thanks to all for sharing pictures and information in this regard!

Special thanks to mastabog for sharing great comparison of battery pictures and awesome reviews.

Cheers :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Gastro Man:
Well, the bad part is that it definitely makes the phone look like a tiny black brick. It's hard to get used to when the phone is originally so slim in size. The good part is that it can last for an entire WEEK between charges. On your phone, choose the setting that puts your phone in standby mode after one minute of non use. That way when it's in your pocket during the day, it's not even on, which saves even MORE power. Whenever you need it, simply pull it out of your pocket and press the power button on top, then the phone quickly wakes up to whatever you were doing on it last. I use my phone all day long to show downloaded porno videos to my co-workers. I play about 2 hour's worth of video on the phone every day, and even so, I only have to charge the phone once every 3 days. Talking on the phone uses LESS power than playing video clips. If you use your phone mainly to just talk on it, I guarantee you that you'll only have to charge it twice in a 7 day period, TOPS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Gastro Man:
Mastabog. I was wondering, can you recommend a cover/case for the diamond that will fit snugly with the 3000mah battery and huge back cover on it? Since you're one of the first to really put time and effort into learning more about the phone, I was hoping that you're done some research on a good cover for the phone after the battery modification. Preferably a cover that has a belt hook on it, but if not, at least a cover that fits the phone very well without making it too much bulkier than it already is. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I ordered mine from:

What is the difference between US and Netherlands?!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Cool! Taking a note. Generally with my small 900mAh battery I keep 1min after to turn of back light and 2 min after to turn of device. I keep settings as don't lock buttons, so that phone can be woke up by pressing any h/w button i.e. DPAD center button. Mostly getting this battery to use it on daily basis. I have lot of expectations.. lets see how it goes :)

I too was confused between the different websites of the same company with different prices as well. But as I ordered to USA I was getting fastest delivery from www.mugenbattery.com because they are shipping from USA itself.

From the netherland's website (http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info) it showed me of 96.95 USD + free shipping to USA within 10-15 days and from USA website (www.mugenbattery.com) it showed me of 95 USD + 5.60 USD of shipping to USA within 5-6 days.

As I was short in time, I ordered from mugenbattery.com. And yes as others have mentioned, googling up can save 5% more. ;)

EDIT:

Just got to know they have different websites for different locations-

http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info - Netherlands

http://www.mugenbattery.com - USA

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com - Hong Kong

I got mine 3000mah FAT-BABY today. I does look huge, but hey, it will last more then my current 900mah (which was in last few weeks only a 5-6hrs).

I hope i will get out of new battery at least a 3-4 days of an average use?! Will let u know guys soon. Its still charging.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Hey that's great! :) I'm still waiting for mine.. :rolleyes:

Do update me how long now you can go with your diamond with this 3000mah battery.. For me too with 900mah i need to keep my diamond always plugged in.. :( otherwise it lasts only around 5 hours.. may be I am doing more with my phone.. hehe.. :)

Waiting for your experience.. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
Its bit strange (my new 3000mah) battery?! Been charging it for 12hrs straight, im using phone for past 2hrs (had only one call, which lasted a 2min.), updated my weather (with WiFi, which i only turned ON to do updates). Battery was 100% and now its on 88%.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Ohh!! How is that?? 12% battery drain within just 2 hours and with very negligible usage... its really strange! :eek:

Which ROM are you on currently? I doubt there must be some other application running all the time or the radio you are using..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
Im running Gen.Y_D2X_R2.6_WWE and Radio ver: 1.13.25.24

I know its really strange that after only 2hrs of barely using my phone battery got drop down by 12%?!!

Im waiting on Masterbogs opinion?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Hmmm.. ROM you are on is one of the best! Great work from Yozgatg. Battery drain on it should be stable. Although not sure about radio.

May be new battery needs calibration.. wait for full discharge and then charge it to full. Lets see the output. :rolleyes:

Oh yes.. Mastabog's views on this may help us more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
Is there any apps for battery calibration?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Not aware about battery calibration app..

I guess calibration process should do the following:

Draining down battery to zero by keeping back light ON at full brightness all the time (or may be running some other process to drain battery faster)

Charge the battery keeping the phone switched off.. until LED around DPAD stops blinking and stays ON. (This process may take hours :rolleyes:)

Switch ON the phone.

Also try out battery.exe from HTC debug tools

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2509753&postcount=1

this app shows different parameters related to battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Cameo2010:
Just a thought; I've had the same symptons on a totally different device. When I upgraded my HDV-camera to a 24oomah battery, the "intelligent part" of the battery couldn't determine the true usage statistics. The OSD showed battery usage 80% left after only a couple of minutes footage. In the end, however, the percentage was stuck at 30% for a really long time. Manufacturer of the battery (through Dealextreme) confirmed this to be an issue.

So, besides the good advice on calibrating, you should also just try to use the phone to it's max and see how far you actually get. Again, just my 2 cents ;)

Cameo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
I think i have a same prob. Now its been on 43% for ages. I was using WiFi for at least 30min. playing music, watchin youtube videos, doing some installations + soft reset, it went from 45% to 43%. So its either that intelligent part of the battery or my ROM?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Makes sense... :)

I would like to know.. actually how long it took to go from 100% to dead? Also let me know roughly what kind of usage u made.

Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mastabog:
For the drain problem, what radio are you using? The radi osometimes plays a crucial part in batery drainage.

I've been using 1.17.25.09 (with the afferent rilphone.dll) and I find the battery lifetime to be very good. See the radio thread to get them.

Yo should also know that the battery will reach full capacity after 2-3 complete charge cycles, i.e. charge up to 100% and leave it charging for 6 more hours. Then drain until the phone no longer starts at all. Personally, i didn't have to do this procedure more than once (and I think I didn't even let it discharge to zero before recharging again).

Regarding case: yes, i did buy one which fits but it is quite bulky since it's waterproof (actually it's everything-proof, it even floats in water). It's Boxit case, http://www.boxit.net ... note that I was never after a carrying case since I use my 3000 mAh battery almost exclusively for when cycling and sometimes for hiking. My diamond is already quite scratched so I'm not that careful with it any more, although I should :)

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
Well guys im very impressed with my new 3000mah battery.

Today was my second time charging (formatting process of the battery) as Mastabog explain it in previews posts.

I started using my phone this morning (Saturday) from 9am and now its (Sunday) 2:10am. In meantime i had 5-6 short calls average 2.5min for each call. then i had around 20 sms, i was using WiFi for around 20-30min all day long (updating my weather and email, plus testing my Opera 10 browser) and i had a 1 call which lasted for straight 2hrs.

At 9am battery was at 100% and now at 2:10am its at 57%.

My rom is Gen.Y_D2X_R2.6_WWE and radio is 1.17.25.09.

Phone does look like a brick, but its really surprisingly good how long does battery last.

psss Im like a fat kid with a big chocolate cake, no one is happier then me now!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
That's great! Thanks for sharing your experience. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
whats the quality like of these mugen batteries, are they reallys 3000mah or are they cheapo ones that dont deliver the capacity that they have on the tin?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] bluenote73:
I was so reluctant to pay mugens prices, wanting to hold out for a chinese discount one, but my CDMA phone could never charge any of them, and this battery basically unleashes my phone in the sense, I can use wifi, bluetooth, as much as I want without worrying that Im going to suddenly run out of power. I no longer have to charge every day anymore either, even using wifi and bluetooth.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
Mugen Battery = Excellent Quality

I ordered Mugen 3000mAh battery for my GSM HTC Touch Diamond after frustrated by its too little original 900mAh battery. I am using this new battery since two weeks and I must say.. It is giving me amazing battery life. :)

Now actually I can use my device. No matter I keep Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS on or off, keep playing lot of music, listening to fm radio, play videos, play games, check emails, do browsing, do gps tracking and of course regular telephony activities calls, sms, etc. whatever I do now I can use my device for more than 2.5 days (2.5 x 24 = 60 hours), in contrast to its original 900mAh battery my phone was lasting not more than 10 hours. If I use my device just for telephony I am sure it would last more than a week. :rolleyes:

I don't know how can I verify whether battery is of actually 3000mAh or not, rather I don't care of whatever mAh it may be. It servers what it is meant for. I am very happy with it. According to me Mugen battery is of excellent quality. :D

I don't mind carrying always a mini brick along with me, because it does a lot more than actual bricks or stones or ip*o*es.. lol :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
sounds like this battery is fairly decent but the price just puts me off. was thinking of getting one of these since they are so cheapo: looks like original htc too

dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23972

wot do you guys think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] krups:
This kinda cheap battery will hardly serve as a replacement battery. It might not last the same as your original battery. Also you need to carry a spare battery along with you all the time.

Earlier I was carrying two 900mAh batteries for my diamond along with me. But that doesn't satisfied me. I was keep on changing batteries too often.

However now with 3000mAh giant battery, I am very happy. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
where is cheapest place to get this 3000mah battery?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
this battery i found at here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/ but its gonna cost over 60 quid which is too much.

i seen the 1340mah battery here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-bp-e270-p16941.htm and the price is more acceptable to me. question is how much difference have others noticed with this battery and is it a genuine htc one or is it some cheapo chineese one that doesnt deliver the mah rating its got?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sebgus:
slybunda:

The 1340mAh battery is a quite nice battery, I have myself been using it for approx. 1 year now. I didn't either like the original 900 mAh, it was too small!

I can use my phone now for 2-3 days instead of 1-2 days with the 900 mAh. I switched to a lighter rom last week and I got a whopping 4 days of battery-time. Have done some calls, sent 100-200 sms and some wifi-surfing.

The 1340 mAh is a genuine HTC-battery also!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
where did you buy your 1340mah battery from? id prefer to use the genuine htc battery if possible. was your purchase from mobilefun.co.uk site?

also which rom did you use that got you more battery life, i use the SwiftBL rom 12mb page pool with touchflo 3d interface.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Karbo81:
Mugen Battery are

BEST

! Im a HAPPY owner of that PHAT 3000mah battery.

Top be honest guys, it does look like a brick with that big battery (ruins the look of the Diamond) but HEYYYY u can do a LOT with only one charge.

Im kind of a heavy user, i have around 10-12 calls that last 2-5min. Then i gotta 1 call (with my girlfriend) which is at least 1.5-2hrs long (every day... because we live in 2 different cities, kind of long distance relationship).

Plus i do regular updates of my weather/email/gps daily with WiFi, at least 2-3 times a day.

15-20sms.

Then when im bored, im surfing the net with Opera Mini 5 on WiFi sometimes its only a few min. reading the news and sometimes its a half and hour- or an hour read.

THIS IS MY DAILY ROUTINE!!!

With this sort of DAILY usage, my battery can last 2 days easy.

If i don't have that long (1.5-2hours) call from my girlfriend i believe my battery would last up to 3.5-4 days easy.

Well guys if u r heavy users and don't mind the BRICK look of ur phone, i recommend only the original MUGEN 3000mah.

If u want to keep the sexy tiny look of the phone, then go for an 2 or 3 Mugen batteries... Standard-size Enhanced-capacity 1000mAh Battery

Mugen batteries are expensive, but they are worth every single cent.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] slybunda:
standard sized enhanced battery seems like a good option but i doubt its gonna be much better than the standard 900mah battery.

Hi there,

I was about to install some tings on my htc diamond, but when i try to run the .xml from my htc, somehow it wants to open with Opera, and keeps opening the program, how do i change that, and what should i open with instead ?

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
.xml

.xml files will always be opened with the default web browser on your device (which is Opera on the Diamond)... unless you've changed the default browser settings.

If you're wanting to edit the file you're talking about, you can do that in any text editor. With regards to 'running' an .xml, that's what your web browser does.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
sounds like you have extracted the .cab file

dont. just copy the .cab to your diamond, and run it from the diamond.

a .cab file is a self installing file (like you can do with .zip on a PC)

Hey,

I just can't manage custom alarm tones to work. No matter where I put them (Windows dir, Windows/Rings, My docs./My Rings) and no matter what format I use (mp3, midi, wav, wma) they just won't work. When I click the clock (M2D) -> Alarms -> and then click that small belt my sounds cannot be found in that dropdown menu.

Any ideas are highly appreciated!

[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
first of all, the only alarms (wake up alarm, that is..) WM reads is wav.. by default

if you open clock.exe and check alarm sounds you will only see wav formats.

and they are found in the windows dir.

i'm not sure about M2D but i suggest you add a wave file called test.wav to your windows dir and check if it appears in the default alarm app of windows.

if it doesn't... I'd suggest either using 3rd party/a hardreset, or if the rom is problematic.. switch for one that doesn't have that problem.

i just tried putting a wav in my windows folder and it appears in the list.

I put a wav file in the windows folder, it showed up in the list, but windows wouldn't let me select it, when I select it, it will automatically just to Default Alarm Tone :confused:!

Hello everyone.

I am facing a problem with my device Aquos R2. It restarts several time a day. I started the phone in safe mode and phone worked perfectly. So keeping that in mind, I restored my phone to factory settings. It was again perfect ❤️. But after like a day this problem came again. After deeply analyzing I found that whenever I am not using telegram app and a new message is received, my phone restarts. But if I am actively using telegram and new message comes, nothing happens. My phone is running on Android 10 and currently is upto the latest Version. Also the telegram app has the latest version download from Google play store.

One more thing. I was not using telegram before (I am new) , and when I installed I came to know that telegram service is blocked here. So I added proxy settings by watching YouTube video.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've been trying to get the desktop mode to work on android 12 OriginOS but all I'm getting is a blank screen with navigation buttons (either while if I pick light theme, or black if I pick dark theme)

When the phone is locked, then the clock appears on the external monitor

I tried 3 different adapters / cables but getting same results

Only app so far where it works 100% is VLC: The video will properly play on the external monitor, in full screen (no tearing visible or any artifacts)

Has this been fixed on android 13?

Did someone manage to get the desktop mode to work?

cam someone with android 13 try this in the developer options -> 'Force desktop mode'?

Does it display anything?

How did you get apps on the external monitor? I was unable to move an app from phone's screen to external screen, any options?
