[Defy Accessories] ic3d:
Thank you for your replies. Are you guys sure the Phone and Android are able to detect the larger battery? I was pointed to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18085857&postcount=72 where someone stated the battery is just not charged (and used) fully.
[Defy Accessories] qaqarox:
Any experiences using the defy+ battery on defy? I would think some software tweaks (change in battd?) would be required to fully take advantage of the larger battery?
[Defy Accessories] marco_:
If you need another /system/bin/battd file when using 1700 mAh instead of the 1500 mAh and vice versa.

Notice that the /system/bin/battd file seems to be linked to the battery capacity, not the Android version.

This is why I pointed ic3d to this thread.

Why would a 3500 mAh work 100% on a /system/bin/battd file thats built for 1500 or 1700 mAh battery?

Any views/explanation on this?
[Defy Accessories] Patrick Andriod:
I have been using the 3500mah battery. Seems like the battery life shown is exactly like the 1500. But at 1 percent,i have tried to play movies and game for another 3 hours and it still did not shut down. Haha.

I am now confident of using the extended battery for one full day with super heavy usage, knowing that at 1 percent, i would still have hours to go. :)
[Defy Accessories] rolindadice64:
download battery calibration. should solve that.
[Defy Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
HaHa. I have a Monaco 3500 and same with mine. Drains as fast as 1500 until 1% and then that 1% lasted me 10 hours. I guess the phones gauge can't handle it. I even used the battery calibration app, but it didn't help.

Hi all,

As mugen say that 1700mah is the largest battery that can be fitted into the defy, I'm looking for a cheap 1700mah one on eBay. Can anyone give a link to a genuine 1700mah. Not mugen as they are a bit expensive for me.
[Defy Accessories] Passa91:
I have the Mugen 1700 in my Defy, but Battery Monitor Widget is reporting only a max capacity of 1500mAh.

This is in CM7. Is it possible our ROMs are ignoring additional capacity in the Mugen batteries?...
[Defy Accessories] Passa91:
I've attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about. This is with a 1700mAh Mugen battery installed.

Only says 1500! Surely we can have some discussion about this. It could be that we're not seeing the full benefits of the new batteries we're buying.
[Defy Accessories] d210:
With original batteries going for 10.x EUR shipped (or dollars, depending where you are, don't know about pounds, probably still about the same) I would be very curious of any tests show considerably higher capacity from the "high capacity" competition. In fact battery capacity can be easily and objectively measured, either with a dedicated analyzer or with a logging multimeter. I can test the original battery if desired (this is what I have) or maybe some cheapie from ebay but I won't buy some 50 dollar battery in the name of science :-)

[Defy Accessories] rolindadice64:
so which is the best bang for the buck extended battery? looking to get one as i'm tired of my cheapo ebay ones. i want one that will last me the whole day.
[Defy Accessories] mikeman8484:
You can change the capacity in battery monitor. Dont really know if it works because mines going down quickly and then stays on 1% for even 5h.
[Defy Accessories] d210:
Funny thing is that I have a spare original battery and it's doing the same "showing 0 for half of its life". Battery looks original, I looked at it literally with the microscope and compared with the "really original" one.

On the bright side I had to search for minutes in all pockets the original battery (which acts now as a spare), spare batteries are MUCH smaller than alternative solutions like minigorilla and other things we were previously discussing.
[Defy Accessories] trevor68:
If you can put up with the thicker battery the 3500 I bought off ebay lasts around 6 days.

have you got an link for it trevor?
[Defy Accessories] satyanjoy:
wow. congrats .mind to share your charging method ?
[Defy Accessories] zakoo2:
Hey guys! I need some experts help! Me and some friends bought 6 batteries (of the same type) for our defy (heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2300mAh-BF5X...-/250879839250), which are preformance-wise really good (they last 2 days with heavy use easily), BUT the phone recognizes it only as 500mah (according to /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent). This means the battery drains to 1% in 5-6 hours, but can last 1.5 days on 1%. Tried calibration with battery calibration (from market), cwm, and even tried 'hard' calibration (fully charge phone, switch off, pull out battery, plug in charger, put in battery again), nothing helped. Can somebody point me to the location where the battery information is stored in the system, so we could write an app to overwrite battery readings according to the voltage (with which the percentage can be calculated pretty accurately, max: 4.2V, min: 3.3-3.4V)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx in advance!
[Defy Accessories] lsduy:
very good.i like it.

hi, what about this battery? http://www.dhgate.com/for-defy-mb52...cover/p-ff80808130ff2ddf013122fa9d184149.html although we don't know the charging life cycle.
[Defy Accessories] berthur:
Is it a battery or cover only?
[Defy Accessories] ejstubbs:
I think this is because BMW can't get the current info it needs properly from the Defy, not because of a problem with the battery. The Defy seems to be unhelpfully reluctant to share information about its battery usage to the outside world, witness the 10% steps on the battery icon in the status bar.

I'm about to return my second Mugen 1700mAh battery. The first one didn't work when I got it: it sent the phone haywire and wouldn't charge. I returned it and they sent me a replacement. That one has been OK for a few months, but recently I noticed that the phone would reboot every time I plugged the USB in, whether it was a data USB, or just a charger, and regardless of whether there was power on it or not :( Then last week the phone shut down for no reason :eek: and started exhibiting the same symptoms as it had with the first Mugen battery :mad: So this one's going back too, and I'm going to ask for a refund. Apart from anything else, I've just bought a Defy+ which has the 1700mAh battery as standard :)
[Defy Accessories] mefxes:
I started using a 3500mAh battery pack some days ago and I think it's going fine.

This is what I'm using: youtube com/watch?v=EeruNqOY0RM[/url]

I paid 11USD for it, so I think worth a try.
[Defy Accessories] Passa91:
Definitely not, because the battery reading Android itself provides is incorrect. After hitting 1% remaining with my Mugen battery, it lasts on 1% for a very very long time before dying (an hour or two if I don't do more than listen to music). This would imply that 1% means it has 200mAh left.

So I guess I can confirm it does use the extra 200mAh, but it means my battery reading is still a fairly inaccurate statistic.
[Defy Accessories] mefxes:
Just sharing the good news.

I'm using a fat 3500mAh battery for some days now. 2.x.x Android ROMs don't show it's status properly, but 4.0.1 ICS from Wajkiui I installed yesterday is showing it's status correctly.

It was 30% showing on 2.3.7 previous ROM I was using.

I installed Wajkiui 16 ICS and it started showing 70%.

I was under heavy use to test and reinstall manually everything I need, and now, 12 hours later, it's showing 15%. I'll let it go down before charging.
[Defy Accessories] hottracks4:

[Defy Accessories] mefxes:
I don't know for sure yet, I'm using this battery for a few days now.

I need some more trial time to make considerations.
[Defy Accessories] hottracks4:
Cool, post it when you've figured it out.. Thanks.. :)

Swyped with my HD2 using XDA app. ;)
[Defy Accessories] zakoo2:
i dont think theres any difference regarding the battery between the two roms, you just probably wiped battery stats. the percentage is counted by the phone based on the max charging level stored in the battery (this cant be changed, unless some serious hacking), and the current voltage. i got a 2300mah one, and my phone recognizes it as a 500mah, and i cant do anything about it. either a false value is stored in the battery, or the system uses 500mah as a default when it cant read it from the battery. anyway, this means my phone drains from 100% to 1% incredibly fast (about 3-4 hours), and stays on 1% for like a day. the only way i can tell how long it will last is the voltage. i have a max voltage at 4.2V and can drain to 3.3V. so to sum up, i dont think its the matter of rom or kernel, its the matter of the very battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dialogic:

I get verizon when I do a *228
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSZESZE:
I would have to say there is no way to do it. For the evo to be on pageplus or any other network besides sprint ESN cloning would most definitely be involved. Rendering the phone useless on sprint's network because the ESN will either be bad or from a different phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Another thought, along those lines, is why was it flashed to another carrier in the first place....I would imagine the majority of the time this happens would be due to a bad esn ....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoguru:
just help the guy out

then why would he be flashing it back. either way. he needs help and were all here to support each other.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
ESN cloning is most likely NOT involved. More than likely that phone has a bad ESN with Sprint (stolen, lost, etc), hence the reason it was reflashed for Page Plus to begin with.

Dialogic, odds are that phone cannot be used with Sprint ever again. The easiest thing to do is simply to contact Sprint or go to a store and verify whether or not that Evo can even be activated on Sprint still.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Im not trying to discourage him....im just saying he may want to call sprint and check the esn first....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Ok, so like alot of gadget loving people I like to look at future phones coming out. And while I'm not perfectly pleased with the way samsung went about some stuff, I'm not unhappy enough to not buy a samsung product again. I especially love how easy it is to unbrick it. However it looks like the phone to come with better specs is the motorola and not samsung's. I've heard that motorola has locked bootloaders, how does this effect flashing customs? From what I can tell some of the phones that are supposed to have them locked seem to have customs. I love how easy this phone is to flash, although this is my first android phone (definitely not the last) and don't know how easy it is to flash other phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedwa:
locked bootloaders mean NO custom kernels. After successful rooting you can modify settings and possibly overclock with tricky mods, but not as easily as with other devices.

Ok long story short I'm a 2nd year college student and I've worked at a gas station/convenience store for about 2 years and some change. I'm a huge tech person and love mobile phones (which xda member doesn't). I recently applied for a position at a best buy mobile opening up next month and got an interview tomorrow morning and I'm so nervous. Any pointers???? Tips??. I believe I can sell a phone to someone easily. For example. "the evo 4g is a wonderful phone and may be one of the best phone's on the sprint network. It has lightning fast data speeds thanks to sprint's 4g network and a beautiful 4.3 inch screen. All that packaged with a great mobile OS called android. The camera on it is fantastic it includes 720p recording and there is even an hdmi port on the device to playback movies on your big screen at home. The 1ghz snapdragon makes the phone extremely fast and it is great for multitasking." and etc I'd include more specs and ask what features they are looking for on a phone and tell them what the phone can do to meet their requirements. Any tips please help I'm so nervous
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Everyone thinks they will be so enthusiastic when selling tech. I work at a computer repair shop/store, and trust me, customers are way to stupid t care what you have to say. All they want to know is if they can make a phone call, text, update their FB status and take a picture of their son drowning.

Also if you are a regular consumer, and reading this, yes, you are stupid.

As the interview part. Get some rest, come in for the interview about 15 minutes earlier, smile, dress nicely, smile, don't sweat, smile, be respectful of your interviewer, smile, have any and all paper work ready, and don't forget to smile. Also, brush your teeth and smile. Did I say smile? Don't make it a fake smile, but a relaxed smile. And not a smirk because then they will think you think you're too good for this job.
[Off-topic] mcp2009:
Thnx for the response. I'm extremely nervous still. Should go to sleep soon but want some tips first. I don't have a resume hopefully that won't affect the interview but I have some black dress pants a nice grey sweater and some black loafers for the interview.

Any idea's on questions they may ask?
[Off-topic] jaszek:
"Why do you want this job?"

"What makes you think you're good for this job?"

"What makes you better then everybody else applying for this position?"

"What's your name?"

"How old are you?"(if you look young)

"What's your number?" <<<<<This is a trick question. If they don't ask you, but tell you they'll call you back, guess what, they ain't callin you back. lol

"Do you like oral sex?"

"Would you do sexual favors to get this job?"

Ok Kidding with the last two, but you get the general point. The interview will last about 10 or 15 minutes so you don't have to worry.

Also, I might want to mention you are talking to someone who never had a job interview. lol. But don't worry, I went to business school so they made us learn as if we had an interview the next day.
[Off-topic] mcp2009:

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
When I'm cross-interviewing the sales guys... well, here's what I look for:

1. Intelligence - the ability to obtain and retain knowledge. Simple stuff like knowing some info about the company and the tech, etc. Bonus points for understanding the industry and its players, especially if they understand the company's positioning compared to its competitors.

2. Coherence & communication - the ability of the salesperson to present the idea and information that the customer will be able to understand

3. Control of vocal tone - for salespeople who deal directly with customers, having a good tone of voice can "hypnotize" the customers.

4. Physical presentation - I'm not looking for Miss Universe, but dress appropriately. A good way of dressing will be to dress according to the dress-code of the company or slightly overdress. Only slightly.

5. Passion - I must be able to see that you have a passion in the industry, in yourself and in the things that you do. If I see that you lack the energy/drive, you'll be hard-pressed to get hired in a highly rewarding position.

Do note that we are hiring sales people who earn at least 50% more than their peers, so the bar is set pretty high up.

Don't worry about tech-stuff, because that'll come in a briefing package. Don't worry about sales tricks either, because seniors will teach you if you ask nicely.

Just remember they are people.

They are looking for someone that not only isn't stupid, but someone they can get along with.

They know they are going to have to train you - any knowledge you have before hand can and will help - but isn't the deciding factor in you getting the job.

Although the job doesn't require a resume - if you had one you'd probably be a step ahead of the other 9 billion stoners trying to get a job there.

Do not dress like a slob - but don't OVER dress either - the slacks/sweater is going to be fine. Can't tell you how many times I've seen people show up in full clown suits for a call center job - and here I am in the Summer wearing a t-shirt and shorts with a ball cap on.

Practice interviewing with someone your comfortable with - even if the questions are BS - it helps.

And I have interviewed at least 1000 people - and I can tell you - if your relaxed, dressed appropriately, don't bull**** me, and at least convey to me in an intelligent manner that you know what your talking about - you would be hired.

And.. if you don't get the job - don't sweat it. Just means some uber nerd ended up working for them instead of you. Might be a blessing in disguise :)
