6.1a is abit buggy so best stick with 6.1 or 6.0.

Download them here

http://xda.richardtrip.org/

I can confirm the charge problem is "fixed" as I have 6.1 running on 2 desires.
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Thanks Paprkut. 2 questions:

1. Looks like it doesn't have HTC Sense, is that right?

2. Do I go for 6.1.zip or 6.1Apps.zip?

Oh and how come you've got 2 Desires?

Here is a review on Mugen-Power extended battery for the HTC Desire :D

http://droidreign.com/2010/12/mugen-power-extended-batteries/
[Desire Accessories] danielvago:
I'm seriously considering buying the Mugen 3200 battery, but am wondering about how much bigger the backside actually becomes. I've never read anywhere what the dimensions of that bulge is.

On a similar note, right now I am using this car dock for my Desire:

mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-car-pack-p24202.htm

It looks like the bigger Desire wouldn't fit on there. Does anyone have a suggestion for a car dock that would hold the Desire with the extra bulge in the back?
[Desire Accessories] Kalavere:
It doesn't have Sense, no, it's based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). You need to install Cyanogen 6.1 zip first then boot the phone let the OS load, reboot into recovery and install the apps zip, which I am assuming is Gapps (Google Apps). Google have asked Cyanogen not to ship Google products with his ROMs so you have to install them separately Market, Maps, Gmail etc.).
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Yeah no sense. Which I can live without. There's apps out there that try and give you the sense feel?

Some people can't live without sense some can. I guess its a personal choice.

Yeah. Install 6.1, you can install any updates such as the apps zip or circle battery via the defrost menu that comez with 6.1. Try to avoid 6.1a since its abit buggy with led issues.

Ones my gfs phone which I rooted etc for her.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
It adds a bulge no doubt about it. But it makes it easier to hold in your hand. Dimension wise around 6ish mm

It probably wouldnt fit your dock easily. But it might work if you wedge it in?
[Desire Accessories] DrHRH:
Nice one. I've just ordered one for the missiz. Got quite a good deal on 3
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
Hmm.. Ive been reading through this thread and im not very impressed by Mugen. With a 3200mAh batt you should get yourself through 5 days with normal use. I have a noname 3000 batt from ebay and i get between 2 to 5 days depending on how much i use my phone.

I have noticed difference between roms, when i used leedroids 2.2f i got so much juice from my battery, but now im on a HD port and it seem to take more from the battery than i am used to.

Now i just barely get 4 days from my no name battery (for 9.99$). But compared to Mugen.... he he he. Im just happy i didnt pay that $ for my more than able battery.

And my battery changes cycle from charge to discharge after 43-45 minutes after the light turns green (its "full") so if i unplug my phone at that momend of full capacity my app overcharge reads the volt between 4197-4200. Then my phone take the first day around 10% and after that around 20% per day. But that is with normal use, for example i dont have apps that constantly updates "things" and gps + wifi turned off normally and turn it on when i need it.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
I have sync turned on, wifi, Bluetooth. With heavy net useage. Text messaging alot. And I use around 50% if I push it.

If I use net constantly with wifi and auto brightness I use around 10% per hour of battery life.
[Desire Accessories] BarnOwl:
Pls. give us link to your noname battery. So we can verify if it is really as good as you state?

For less than ten bucks it's worth a try.
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
Heres the link:

[Desire Accessories] danielvago:
How can these two batteries be compared? The difference in price is certainly noticeable.
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
I guess its personal choice and knowing that at the end of the day you don't really know how good of a cheap battery you will end up with and would you trust it in your phone while it charges? What assurances do you have if it blows up taking your phone with it.

At the end of the day you get what you paid for with cheap electronics.
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
If your battery hasnt exploded on the first charge, it wont with any battery. Then in means that your phone stops the charging cycle before it explodes.

If the battery is faulty, then it will probably smoke or something similar directly when you put the usb cable to charge.

I cant see any advantage to buy a expensive battery if it has the same effect as an noname battery.

I have bought 4 noname batterys on ebay and i have never had a problem with any of them.

We all know that levis jeans is more expensive than no brand jeans, but both will still cloth you, it all depends on how important the brand is to you.

My battery is a 3000 mAh and it gives me something like that.

I can say that i needed to wipe the battery stats in recovery before it gave me the effect that i bought, it was like my phone didnt understand at first that it had a bigger battery.

And i needed to calibrate it several times before i really got the juice from it, so it didnt work well from the box, but i got it to work after wipe and calibrate.

You might need to work with it for a while before it gives back. :)

If you feel very hesitant, then dont shop on ebay. We are all different when it comes to buying electronics on the net.
[Desire Accessories] danielvago:
How do you wipe the battery stats in recovery?
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
In clockworkmod recovery you have in the bottom the advanced tab (you need to have your desire rooted) go in there, there you have the wipe battery stats.

Piece of cake, but just make sure your battery is calibrated first.

This guy wrote a extended battery review a while ago for Nexus... see link below. I think the conclusion with extended batteries was they didnt provide more juice mah than the standard battery. Have a look:

Sounds interesting my desire battery is a joke so will probably buy an extended one :)

off topic I cannot wipe the battery stats in recovery any ideas on how to fix?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
The simplest way is to run Unrevoked, it will give you a competent recovery, but that will root your phone and for what i

can read, your phone is not rooted? Rooting will nullify your warranty..

The next best thing is to make sure your battery is well calibrated, but as Jannen wrote, your phone might

not know that you have a bigger battery nomatter how much you calibrate.

For me my new 3000 mAh battery gave me abit more than 3 days before i wiped battery stats but after calibration

and thats way better than 1½ day with juice defender running hot :)
[Desire Accessories] HTC 123:
My phone is rooted :) and I have lost 20% battery in 1.5 hours with moderate use really bad !!

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
I know if you run the latest unrevoked you will get amonras recovery, and with that you can wipe batt stats for sure.

I dont know how or when you rooted your phone but you should be able to wipe almost everything in there. :confused:

By the way, it was some serious battery drainage you had :(

Could it be that when you flashed your latest rom, you didnt wipe your phone completely?

I tried that and my battery just vanished in notime.

Do you know what your apps are doing when your not using them?

For me, juice defender with ulitmate juice fixed most of my apps running wild. And i uninstalled my facebook + twitter app, i just use my browser for that.

Downclocking with setcpu or with ulitmate juice gives me some more juice aswell.
[Desire Accessories] HTC 123:
I know mate its really bad and I wiped everything except the battery as it wont running leedroid 2.3c btw :) and I have no idea the bog standard apps that come with leedroid and a few others but none that report as suspicious

I'm using set CPU and am on smartass and had juice defender but it did little want to try ultimate juice but not goanna pay :/

I also have all syncing apps to manual

I just think my battery life is crap will be buying a new battery me thinks

[Desire Accessories] Zordracc:
Sorry for late reply :o

It reeally sounds like a crappy battery, and a new battery would probably do you wonders :D

If you have your apps set to manual update, you should have everything nessesary for a

superlong batterytime. It sounds like bad battery.

[Desire Accessories] cosud:
So far I bought 2 extended batteries.

One from dealextreme.com (18$) and another one from some random hong kong seller on ebay (link was posted a few pages back I belive, 9 eu per piece).

The first one died on me by becoming very very hot (60C hot). When I tried to charge it the phone would report that there's no battery in place (blinking orange led).

After it failed I teared it appart and discovered that it was a 3000mAh battery relabed 2600mAh. Once I took the plastic casing off I found two cells tied together. Pic attached. The performance was decent about twice the original htc.

The second looks roughly the same but it's labled 3000mAh. Current widget shows a constant 44mAh drain regardless if the phone is awake, with wifi on or 3g. I believe that there's something funny with the battery as original htc batteries display a normal drainage ie. it varries over time.

All in all I would say an extended cheapo battery is a gamble. For 9eu it's not expensive but you might end up with a hole in your pocket (that's how i found out mine was overheating). Also the lump is quite annoying ...

I think two original batteries and a cradle to charge the extra one is the best choice.
[Desire Accessories] tekhop:
got mugen 3200mAh yesterday

charged for first time 12 hours, and spent the whole day to get it fully discharged... its 12 hours with screen on, gps, wifi, data, bluetooth, music app in play and some hours of navigator on... i'm 9% now... no strange power off at 20% or such (as i read pages ago), i'm going to do another 10 hours charge and full discharge, then i will test the real duration in "normal" use...

the worst thing is the plastic case to use instead of casemate etc... it's not perfectly closing, seems quite fragile... 'cause of my job i used to hold the phone in alluminium\neoprene case.. this may be a problem :)

any1 knows some other good cases fitting the mugen 3200mAh?

It comes with lots of different USB mini USB and plugs etc.

I got mine from Dotbike in the UK. Don't need the cache battery on my HTC Desire.
[Desire Accessories] danielvago:
I have the 3200mAh and love it.

This is the one I have: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalog/product/view/id/605/

It does in fact double my battery life, which is awesome. The extra bulge does not affect me at all, it's hardly noticeable, as well as the extra weight. You get used to the bulge and weight (when holding it) after a while, and after that it does not feel heavier or bigger any more.

Is it worth to upgrade stock battery? Or all advantage are not valuable?
[Desire Accessories] Borat38:
If you mean inflated as in its middle portion has ballooned out, then that's a short circuit. Don't try to use the batt anymore; it's dead. I'm sure HTC will replace if it's stock. Batt might've encountered moisture.

I've had my mugen 3200mah for well over 9 months and its excellent. I use 50% in a day of moderate to heavy use. And 20% in a day of light use.

I still charge my phone every night regardless and it's nice to know I've got more than enough to last me one day.

To those who complain that its bulky etc .. stop complaining, how else do you think your going to get double the battery life?

One thing that's crap about the mugen is the replacement covers plastic clips eventually start breaking after pulling it off often and dropping it a few times.

Other than that I have no complaints.
[Desire Accessories] maludroid:
What is your best time of use between chargings? I am affraid that if you charge every night, you may even not know, that battery is not calibrated and the remaining 80% would give you no more than another day.
[Desire Accessories] Mikkel D. Hansen:
Why is it that the stock battery is so sucky?!... And if you want anything better its a different size?...
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
my battery is "calibrated" and i have ran it down to the 10% loads of times.

with wifi on, data on, brightness on auto i get around 2 days of moderate to heavy use before i start to see the low battery message.

on holiday i had data off / wifi off / low brightness and pretty much did not use the phone at all and i got 8% battery drain aday.

remember battery drain isnt just up to the capacity of the battery but which rom your using, which radio etc.....

I think it is perhaps better to buy a 5500mAh power pack, put it in your bag and charge your Desire from it via micro USB if you are on the way ....this way you can still keep your Desire sexy figure....

OK so I've put the new battery in and I'm charging it up - the only thing is, it says 100% on my status bar/battery calibration/battery monitor widget but my light is still orange while the phone is on. If I turn the phone off, the light goes green. Any clue as to what's going on?

EDIT: Yeah something's definitely not right - I unplugged and after just over an hour I've lost 22% :(
[Desire Accessories] HiVoltage85:
I, like many people don't need that extra juice every day - only when I'm travelling, so I considered all the options. An extended battery didn't make much sense - I don't want to carry around a fat phone. So, the other options were either an extra battery, or else an emergency charger. I ended up using the latter.

Most of you probably have seen those aluminium cylinders that take an AA battery and use it to charge your phone. Don't bother with those - an AA battery does barely charge the phone to 1/3. I bought probably the most complex system, but I think it was worth it. I got a "charger" like eBay item 170573431817 (they have them on DealExtreme too) - it takes a "18650" cell, and with one cell, it charges the phone to 100% as long as the cell is good. So, I bought that charger off eBay, got a pair of TrustFire cells from DealExtreme (the ones with the orange flames... don't get the plain ones - they're inferior!), and an UltraFire WF-139 charger (that charges the 18650 cells) off DealExtreme). So, yes, I spent some $42, but that way, it's like buying another 2 genuine batteries (as they charge the genuine one to 100% each), and I can also buy as much cells as I like for less than $5 each, and as a bonus, I can charge any other device that charges through USB.

Hi everyone,

It's a 36 page long thread, so I haven't managed to read through it all. Right now I am considering buying a Seidio or Mugen "bulk size" battery (the one which doesn't fit into the back of the phone). And combine that with a battery charger on the table. So when the battery is empty, I simply swap batteries, and like that I can keep going without having to leave my phone for charging.

But - I wonder - are there any problems which could occur from doing that? And would you recommend a Seidio or Mugen "large size" battery?

Do you know what is efficiency of the battery ?
[Desire Accessories] norweger5:
WTF? I just bought one, and it both looks and feels great! It's feels so much better to hold.

And if someone else doesn't think my phone is cool, than I just say it's not running a beauty pageant ;-) I couldn't care less what friends think of my phone.

Here's what I did with my phone.

Not sure if it's done right. I didn't charge the battery for 12 hours + inside the phone. I charged it for 15 hours in a standalone charger.

Than I swapped batteries with the one in my phone (which was 100% before swapping). Hopefully it'll work. Just swapped, no problems so far! I need that extra juice, as I can't keep charging during each day.
[Desire Accessories] norweger5:
Scheiss!

I've encountered my first issue with it already. When look at the battery data, it says "0s" below the graph. Why the heck would that change?

Before:

After (with Mugen fat size battery):

i53.tinypic.com/2s8s1ty.jpg
[Desire Accessories] norweger5:
More problems after the swap: Got an error (twice) about the phone being restored after an unusual startup (something like that). What it does, as I interpret it, is installing a backup. Everything worked fine after that, except the Opera Mobile has got significantly slower.

Than I've also got the problem that my phone keeps asking me "Yes/No" to swich the power off. I guess that issue will work itself out as the phone gets used to the bigger battery (the question pops up despite having over half the juice left...).

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

And after the battery swap, than crash/reset, the Opera Mobile app has been switching itself off while I use it. Thinking about removing and reinstalling, seeing if that helps.

Besides those things the new battery has been great. After a day's use, it's now got 60% (normally it would be drained and need recharing during the day! I am a heavy android user...).
