i think its possible that at 23% there actually is no power left but the desire thinks its got 23% hence why it just dies without any warning or such

btw after reading that site, Mugen have admitted a fault with the battery?so they will replace it free of charge? or will i need to pay loads of postage to send it back? what a PITA. no wonder mugen ask you not to post on forums talking badly about their batterys
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Stop press!

Got some amazing news!!

This is what has happened this evening. It went down to 21% and kept going. At 14% the normal warning kicked in.

VERY IMPORTANTLY, this is after I followed paprkut's advice and reset the battery data via the ClockworkMod Recovery menu.

I'm so excited!!! Let's hope this is the start of a normally functionning battery!

I'll keep you posted.

Fingers crossed!!

:D
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
did you wait for the battery to run out before wiping the stats?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
No, it was mid-cycle. I just did it after you suggested it.

For anyone who's wondering how to do it:

I used ROM Manager (free on the Android Market) to Reboot into Recovery Mode and then followed the Advanced options until I found the Wipe Battery Stats (or something very similar) option.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
interesting, i did the wipe at a low % but i tend to flash a new rom every other day so maybe this is screwing it up? saying that can you wipe battery stats without root?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I don't think so - I was under the impression it had to be done via Recovery and you can only have Recovery on a rooted phone?

Might be wrong though
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
so your either screwed if you dont have root or the problem doesnt exsist? itll be interesting to see what mugen have to say about this if its the first.

enjoy your 23% extra, post on here if anything changes
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Not sure. It's important to bear in mind that Mugen say you need to charge the battery 4-5 times before you can use it normally. This is my 5th cycle (as far as I can remember) so it might be just that patience is a virtue.

I'd say you should give the battery a good 5 or 6 full charges before you give up on it.

We'll see anyway. I'll defo keep you posted.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Well. I was brushing my teeth and messing with the phone (as you do). I checked the battery - it was at 6% - then it suddenly died. Better than 22-23% but still not ideal.

The saga continues...
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Do a wipe before you fully charge. See what happens
[Desire Accessories] daftpunk9050:
I wish I had it like that...

You must have been lucky with your battery then. Mine lasts up to 12 hours with moderate to heavy use. And with little use I dont know I only do heavy use :)
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I agree. I find it very hard to believe anyone can get more than a day out of the standard battery with "heavy" use. I think it's entirely down to 2 things:

- how you define heavy, moderate and light.

- the network signal strength. If you're moving between signal areas your phone will be searching for the network each time and that will really drain the battery.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Too late. I stuck it on charge last night and now I'm on 100% again with it still plugged in. I'll let you know what happens at the end of this charge cycle.

dx have big back and battery now for $18

[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Looks pretty dodgy to me:

"- Special designed for HTC Desire/G7

- Replaces your broken or damaged original palm pre battery"

What's that all about??
[Desire Accessories] tomqman:
thats pretty much a typical dx bad description, but there trustworthy just very slow sometimes
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Well if you've used them before and you trust them then it might be worth going for. I'd personally go for the Cameron Sino one I think though, just cos it was tested and rated as decent on batteryboss.org
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Anyone know how to deplete a battery quickly ?
[Desire Accessories] kitko:
Turn everything on (wifi, GPS, BT) and use WI-fi a lot :-)
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Launch Google Maps Navigation with GPS and wifi on in the Location panel, set your route for the other side of the country (or anywhere else for that matter) and leave it running.

Alternatively use or install a Flashlight app and set it as brightly as poss. Then leave it on.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
well bad news it still dies at 24% and worse news is i smashed my screen to birs oops
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
wait for it....
[Desire Accessories] asuradahk:
Hey, may i just ask again about the swipe battery data

do you mean the "factory data reset" in the android recovery console?

any way to achieve the swipe battery data without rooting my Desire?

really want to get the Mugen 3200mah battery, but then saw some forum saying that it is actually made up of 2x2200 mah battery inside.

and the discount code 5OFF2010 is still working!...
[Desire Accessories] asuradahk:
How did u do that man?! Don't tell me it is something to do with the Mugen battery:confused:
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
theres a option to wipe battery stats in the clockwork recovery mod if you have root, i dont think its possible to do it without root.

most bigger batterys are made up of more than one i think, the bigger "d" size batterys tend to be the same

it fell onto a hard surface, no idea what caused it to break so badly?

the battery for me at the moment lasts 1.5ish days, thats with it stopping prematurely at 25%ish.

i dont know whats up, either is the batterys cells dying and not holding charge or the phone not knowing which actuall % to display
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Bugger! Mine died earlier at 22% again. Looks like I'll be sending it back as well. :mad:

Really gutted for you about your screen, mate. Are you insured?
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
yeah, next day replacment. ive been in touch with mugen and pointed them this way, i dont think they know theres a problem with the desire batterys .or care.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I think they are aware of the problems. Kitko on the tracyandmatt forum is sending his back for a replacement.

this dynamo charger does not work on DESIRE

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270604680397

does not work for DESIRE but for POLARIS
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I'm in discussion via email with them at the mo. I just want to send it back and get a full refund as it's clearly faulty. They've said they want me to pay a 15% restocking fee to be deducted from my refund. I've said that's not acceptable for 2 reasons:

a) There's a fault with the battery and it's not my fault

b) It's morally and ethically wrong to restock and resell a faulty battery

What are people's thoughts on this?
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
sounds reasonable, i have not had a reply yet
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
How do you mean "sounds reasonable", I take it you mean what I've said not the 15% restocking fee?
[Desire Accessories] twe69:
If there is a fault then there should be no restocking fee, you should also claim postage back as under UK law they are eligible to do that... Have done this before from ebuyer.com and a few other sites without problems - i.e. the item being faulty or not fit for purpose. For example from ebuyer.com I bought a ladder that folds. It was a good design apart from when you unfold it, it felt very unstable and dangerous when I was at the top! So sent it back got a full refund, made a query about the postage since the item was unfit for the original purpose, and got that refunded too.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
i maant about it not being fit for purpose, them being to blame. im still waiting for a reply
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
My battery (mugen)did the same thing today the phone shut down at 23 % ,though this is not good I still got almost 3 much the time I got when using the standard battery.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Hmmm. Mugen selling battery's that don't Work? I paid extra just because I heard they had a good rep. My phone isnt rooted so.I'm going to try that until mugen get back to me
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Was your phone rooted?
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
My phone was rooted but I hard reset it when the 2.2 update was released so it is now running the official 2.2 Rom
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Remember the time zone difference (they're in the far East) and the fact that it's the weekend. They'll reply tomorrow night or Monday morning I expect.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I'm running LeeDroid's 1.6 ROM at the moment but would like to try the official update. Is it worth going to the trouble of "hard resetting" and how did you do it?

Sorry to go off-topic. If anyone knows of a thread for this, please can you let me know?

Thanks,

HRH
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
I never tried a custom Rom , I rooted using revoked just to enable the market ,I updated when I got the notification that a new update is available but then the update did not install and I hard reset the device and installed.the update from the SD card
[Desire Accessories] HorNet505:
How about posting this to the Rom-Development section or open a nee thread. This is quite off-topic, yes ;o)
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
So noone has tryed it root free? I'm running down the battery. At 70% so far. Will post up theresults of a root free test.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Mine died at 24% yesterday again.

I've had to chase Mugen and they've forwarded my message to the engineering department (??) asking me to wait for a reply until Thursday.

I've replied asking why there is a delay and why there is a need for involvement from the engineering dept.

Anybody wondering whether or not to buy this battery really ought to wait and see what happens with my case.

Paprkut, have you had a reply yet?
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Yeah. Same reply. Battery died on 24/25 % running a standard orange 2.1 rom.

Wait and see what they say now I guess
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Well let's hope they accept that this is a fault and agree to refund us. If not then I will be sharing this story with as many people and forums as possible. I'll be encouraging others in our situation, like yourself Paprkut, to join me!
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
I will. Problem is mugen.has a good reputation on a OEM battery this would be a cell fault and the battery would be replaced.

I'm hoping that the battery is just faulty and a replacement Will sort it. Apart from this problem the battery is good. I want my 25% back! With that id would easily get atleaat two days use
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Sorry for the random grammar. Its abit pita trying to construct a paragraph on a desire
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I agree, the battery is potentially great but that "apart from this problem" is absolutely massive. It's crap not knowing for sure when your battery is going to die. For me it seems to have started varying a bit. It used to be 22% but last time it was 24%. What if it starts creeping up and it ends up dying at 50%?
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
I have the battery and I am very happy with it,it lasts me the day without having to worry about what to activate and what to disable which is exactly what I was looking for.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
zaki, your happy with the battery lasting less than its stated value? for me for now anyway i consider 25% being 0%.

the battery is effectively a 2400mah which is not what i purchased
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
I am happy that I can use the phone as much as I like without it failing me or having to keep plugging it into a charger
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
That's a fair point but surely if you're paying 70 dollars for something, you expect it to work as advertised?
[Desire Accessories] zaki67:
You do have a point and I am not trying to defend mugen and I sure do not approve of the charge they are asking for as re stocking fees .I did not see any claims from mugen I only found out about the battery in this forum and to me the actual performance was better than I expected , in other words after reading some comments I thought it would last marginal more than the original battery but ,in my case at least it solved my problem completly .
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
I get you zaki. The battery lasts a day easy even with the fault.

Still I want the 800mah thats missing that I paid for.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I wiped the battery stats again today for the second time only and my battery died at 6% this time. Might think about doing a battery stats wipe each charge cycle. Not ideal though

[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Quick thought. Anyone had any experience of different brandsof larger battery's on the desire?

Anyone else having trouble with the cover getting easier to remove?
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
And..... all.this opening and closing of the back cover is really taking its toll on the tabs that keep.it in place.
[Desire Accessories] karazz:

[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
what about this?

http://www.obostore.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_55&products_id=98
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Any reply from mugen?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
I think you're always going to be taking a gamble with any battery that's not manufacturer stock. It's also a gamble buying from the far East from what I can gather - there are a lot of fake and substandard products out there.

My advice would be - if you've got the cash then just go for it, you only live once (as far as we know!). But at the same time don't be shocked if the thing doesn't live up to your expectations!
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Still not a peep from them. They did say Thursday though, so I'll give them a bit longer!
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Just thought since it Will be pretty late Thursday in Asia by now
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Had a reply earlier. They won't refund me, they just keep saying they'll replace the faulty battery.

I'm off on holiday and their reply hasn't given me time to get to the post office. I'll send it back when I'm back off holidays I suppose.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
So they don't think there's a problem?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
In reply to my mail asking if they will refund me for the faulty battery they wrote:

"Thank you for your email!

We will do our best to replace it with a working battery."
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
How did you pay? Might be worth getting in touch with your bank or PayPal if they refuse to refund you.

Or wait fora replacement and see what happens. The batch may be crap?
[Desire Accessories] betalaga:
Big battery (3200) slim isn't possible in future?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Good news. They said the engineering department have found the problem - something to do with the controller. Looks like I'll be able to get a replacement.

I'll keep you informed when I get back from my holiday
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
So, I'm slowly trying to step away from Sense UI.

I never use my camera, so FreshToast 1.1 is the ROM Im choosing for now... OC'ed with JIT enabled. WOW, blazing fast.

Only thing is... the free memory just isn't there!!!

I'm using Helix launcher, and after a fresh boot, and a good App Kill, Ive only got 56MB of free memory. What gives?

When I open up ASTRO file manager and goto the running services, it appears that Sense UI is still open, even if I choose Helix as default and reboot. I kill Rosie and poof back up to 67 or so MB.

Still not what i was expecting though. I would expect atleast 80MB of free RAM.

I mean, Ive run ROMs where even WITH Sense UI, I had 80+MB of free memory.

The only widgets im running when doing this test is beautiful widget.

Is JIT a memory hog or something?

What can I do? Can I simply delete Rosie.apk? I know alot of the other UI relies on HTCs software, so I can't go deleting everything.
[Hero CDMA General] Costa276:
It's safe to do so if you are in fact using Helix. Just a heads up once you do you will receive a FC from Rosie Utilities as well. That can also be removed since, well, you removed Rosie.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Are the sense UI wallpapers in com.htc.resources.apk?

I cant find it anywhere... Ive looked in Rosie.apk and the resources.apk

Im trying to find that rainbow bubble wallpaper that all the 2.1 Roms come with.

[OffTopic}

Main it is a REAL PAIN IN THE ASS that linux is ****ing case sensitive... what a pain in the ass.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
U mean...This One?? If it is, the others are in the zip. Don't remember which .apk i pulled it out of tho. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
THAT'S THE ONE!

I just found a wallpaper folder I guess is on my SD card... that or came with Helix. Has some nice ones in it, but I love that wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
It's pulled out of the HtcAddProgramWidget.apk located at /system/app/ if you were wondering.

And btw if you're deleting everything ie. sense, rosie, launcher2 or w/e I'd move the helix apk to the /system/app folder so it won't get removed by accident, you can also metamorph the icon to something else if you wished.

Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Im having a hard time finding com.htc.rosieutility.apk (i think thats it)

Im getting a FC on that from time to time... its the widget updater or something

Where else would the sense apks be other than /system/app?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
They can also be in /system/framework. Note that once you delete it and reboot, it needs to rebuild the dalvik cache because you modified a framework file. Don't freak on the long boot.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Not in framework.

Here's the popup at boot:

HTC Widget Download Manager (process com.htc.RosieUtility)
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
I was thinking of doing that too.

I'm putting apps that seem to be "important" or run very very often in /system/app.

So If I simply pull the helix apk from /system/sd/app and put it in /system/app do I need to remove any odex's? Or should I just move the apks, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik and reboot?

I would think if I don't wipe dalvik its still executing off the dalvik on the SD card.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
You can do what you just said.. Its what i do. And you dont have to wipe dalvik.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Ive had to disable JIT due to something in the browser locking the phone up.

All my random freezes have been due to the Rosie utility FC'ing. But I can't find which freakin apk it is to remove it.

God the search on this forum blows ass. I remember seeing a thread of what is safe to remove to get rid of Sense, but it was very old and probably pertained to 1.5 not the newest sprint leaks.

I obviously have removed all of the HTC widgets, as well as Rosie.apk.

I don't want to go delete crazy as I know there is alot of HTC code wrapped in everything from the contacts and sms to general menus. I don't like the "AOSP" look such as DarchDroid. Just toooo.... ugly lol. The HTC touches are very clean.
