Aftermarket Extended Battery RECIEVED

[nefcpainter119]

I just got it in yesterday. It's bulky but very good on holding a charge.

True, but honestly I think it's pretty comfortable in my hand

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

Yeah its not too bad. Takes a little bit getting used to.but it lasted from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm so I will take the bulk! Lol

You had the 3800 right? Its only lasting you 1 day? Are you using the phone heavily? I have the 4200 ordered, im hoping to get 2 days out of it.

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

No I bought the 4200. I am having troubles getting the phone to recognize the new battery. I have reset battery stats but when it charges fully and take it off 4 minutes later its down to 67% so I am trying to get a trick to work.

I also got a 4200 and it doesnt drop that rapidly but it does drop faster than it should i cleared bat stats when it was empty so it would relearn what the full charge was but it only helped a little it still went down10% in an hour

I ordered mine from USA seller 15 bucks works great .. my only problem is the wall charger that came with mine I'm clueless about .. other then that love it!!!!

 

[StarScream2109]

With the wall charger the connectors(little pointers) on the charger have to be on the end receptors

 

[nefcpainter119]

All you have to do is line up the barbs on the charger to the 2 outside gold strips on the extended battery, (- & +)

hope this helps

I shoulda got the ones you did maybe ill order some new ones after i start workin

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

I agree. I need a wall charger! My trick is to charge it until it says 100% unplug it then reboot. Plug it back up and wait on 100%. Drain it fully then wipe stats. See if it works. If it doesn't repeat a couple times.

 

[UnknownUser1]

Ok ill give it a try thank u

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

If it doesn't then hold your phone to the air over your head and do the charge my battery dance.

Just bought one off ebay, 7.99. Hope it performs as well as everyone else has experienced. I'll post updates on how it turns out.

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

Unless you fully charge it, then it drains like a regular one.. What I have seen. It's quite irritating, honestly. If I could do it over again I would have bought the double and the wall charger. I think I will do that next. It will come in handy for me being gone all the time and the wife CONSTANTLY on her phone.. She kills charging ports. It's sad.

 

[SelfElevated2]

Exactly what I got. China? Haha

Its definitely made in China but it was located in California

So here is 2 screenshots. They are from 2 completely different day's . You can see my battery percent at the top. And yes I use my phone very heavily. 3800 mah. My stock battery only lasted about 5 hrs for me. I had to charge it about 3 times a day. With 15 percent on the battery you can play on the Internet for another 3 hrs with 100 percent brightness and it's still not dead.

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

What did you use to see your usage?

 

[SelfElevated2]

What did you use to see your usage?

Go to system settings, about phone, then battery usage. Click on the top to get that view

 

[SelfElevated2]

And what I did to get it to drain properly was charged it on the wall charger to 100. Then unplugged it. Plugged it back and charge till it showed full again . Put it in the phone and used the app battery calibration to clear battery stats immediately. I used the phone with out charging until it was about to die. Then charged it uninterrupted until 100. And then just used it normally. I swear it's still getting better. Like with every use it lasts longer. Definitely worth the extra bulk because I use my phone so much the stock battery could barely make it thru 5 hrs.

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

I'm gonna give that app a try. Thanks man.

 

[SelfElevated2]

I'm gonna give that app a try. Thanks man.

It mainly does the same thing you can do in cwm but it does it without having to restart the phone at all.. And no problem

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

Yeah I see that. Seems much more convenient. You know us Americans. All about convenience.

I bought this battery after reading this thread: New 2x 3800mAh Extended Battery & Cover + Charger For Boost Mobile ZTE Warp N860 | eBay

My daughter and I both own a Warp, and we're both brutal on the battery. I have bluetooth on all day and make calls and listen to music through it for 10-12 hours a day on top of heavy web browsing. She may be worse since she's also playing games.

Needless to say, the stock battery was only worth about 4-5 hours tops.


With the extended battery, we both just charge before bed at night and are good to go until bed time again. And it's nice.

The only thing I don't like is the wall charger. Good thing we don't have a use for it I guess.

I am having a problems getting the battery to calibrate after running through a couple full discharge/recharge events. The battery meter at the top of the screen seems ok, but the standby time reported from the Settings menu is SNAFU:

It may be worth noting that I don't get cell service at home and I hear that hurts battery life. Even so, I know for a fact that this phone wouldn't die in 6.5 hours on the current charge on standby or even while being used.

 

[Alsaces Daddy]

Yeah I work in basements a lot and have no service. When its searching its draining at a high rate of speed.
