Accessories 2000mah Andida battery

update on mine. it's getting much longer battery life now. what used to drain down 10% over night is now draining less than 5%. i sleep 7 hours a night. my phone was dropping 10% standing by over 7 hours, and last night it dropped less than 5%. part of the reason might be cuz it was cold last night though.

The battery will actually have less juice in the cold... it is most likely your phone sorting things out in memory.

Do you sleep in a van down by the river?
 
No task manager. No heat issues either. Overall life seems to be improving, yesterday it was fully charged at 6:30 am, about 11:30 pm it was down to 53%. Unfortunately I am still having the issue of the battery rapidly dropping of after 50%. Only thing showing in spare Parts that seems odd to me now is the visual voicemail is second on the list of partial wake usage, and considering I haven't received a voicemail in almost a month it seems a bit worrisome.

that's terrible. perhaps you got a bad battery. do you have a task manager? maybe something else is running in the background. is your phone getting real hot when it drains? if it is, then its software that is causing the phone to drain fast.

on a side note, my andida seems pretty decent. i was never astute enough to be able to comment on how much better it may or may not be, but if this is helpful, my phone drained only 10% while standing by for about 7 hours over night. is that normal, or is that better?

You sure it is not a metal cage or does it say Faraday on it? <-only EE/CompE geeks are going to get that one. :-P

...my hero scaled to 245 sleep w/ setcpu on modaco 2.2 and gumbo kernel loses about 2-3% over an 8 hour sleep with 3 bars of reception.
 
So I've had mine for about a week now and I'm not remotely impressed by the battery life. Battery readings are extremely inaccurate and slow to refresh compared to stock, temp readings are NEVER correct, and the lower the battery gets, the faster it drops. The battery loses more power on standby than stock, although it seems to get a little better use while running. I have trouble noting the differences because the battery drops in large chunks instead of small, steady bits like with the stock battery.
I did accidentally let my battery die the first time I discharged it because the battery level readings can be off by as much as 20% (mine died showing 13%). Since there are so many good reviews on the battery, I bought another one to see what kind of results I get. I will be much more careful with the second one and get back to you all with the results. For now, I would advise you to keep the battery from dying at all costs.

Some of your issues may have more to do with the reporting of the data, vs the actual facts. The phone is probably reporting the % battery based on the expected capacity of the stock battery, rather than the larger capacity of the new battery. And I doubt that the battery has anything to do with the temperature report.

You're right, I didn't mean that the battery itself is doing these things. The bottom line is still the same, though =/ My temp. reading stops working, I have no idea what my battery percentage really is, and I'm not getting longer life out of the battery.

I also misspoke on how long I've had the battery--I actually received it almost three weeks ago, so I don't understand why some of these issues aren't straightening themselves out.
 
Hmmm, $10, free shipping from Hong Kong?!?
I'm curious enough from the posts and have ordered mine. Hoping for the best...

I ordered one of these 2 weeks ago, still havent gotten it yet (hopefully soon). I'm hoping that I can get at least a full day at work without having to recharge. At home I get great battery life but at work I'm stuck in a low signal area and that sucks my battery dry. Sometimes I have to recharge twice a day.

I wish there was a signal booster thing that actually worked. Not like those little plastic things you stick under the battery.

I've been using my battery for about a week now. I definitely notice a difference in when I need to charge at work. I never like my battery to sink below 30% and with the stock battery (at work) it was around 30 by lunchtime. With this new battery I can leave it go until 3-3:30 before hitting that 30% mark. That's 3+ more hours of constant searching for signal lol

At home I can go from whatever time I need to recharge at work on Friday to Sunday morning on one charge. I'd say that's a nice improvement.
 
OK??? Got mine today and it was like 75% Charged?
Is that normal for them to be almost charged up?
Just wonderin?

Yes. Battery manufacturers will quick charge a battery to test it before shipping.

Try charging it a second night. I have the andida battery. The first day, I barely got 12 hours out of it. After the second charge, i received 24 hours out of it. I'm still working on the charging and discharging of it ... I am following the Mugen battery initializing instructions. hope that helps!

Can anyone post these?
 
Can everyone post how long (business days) it took for their battery to come? Also, did it come via USPS?
 
i got mine today...

and upgraded to 2.1 Damagecontrol.

I am going to have a lot of fun... hope this battery can help me. :P
 
I received mine Thursday, Charged it Thursday night and used it yesterday. I was not impressed with the battery life (very low by 11pm) which is what I get out of the oem battery. I will report back after a few more days of use (charging all night, using all day).

Either way, $10 spare battery!
