New 1900mAh battery issues

zinkscott · May 11, 2013

Hey all, I recently received a new 190mAh battery for my Lucid. I've noticed that my battery life is 1/2 of what I got on the included 1650mAh stock battery. I'm running CM10 with Min/Max Clocks at 192mHz/Stock 1.2GHz or 1188MHz. Any suggestions?

Hm try calibrating the battery, that could be the issue.

I'll try calibrating the battery when I have a day off so it can truly be calibrated. I'll report back then. Here's a link to it. 1900mAh BL-44JS Battery for LG Lucid 4G VS840 Viper 4G LTE LS840

Where'd you get a 2120?

Also, that site, uoften looks super sketch. Are you sure that battery is really 1900 mah? I've never seen one that big.

I didn't get it from there, I just used that site as a link to what the battery is. But I re calibrated the battery and all seems well now, about 20% longer, which is what's expected

I was right haha, well can you still use a case with that battery? If yeah I'm buying one.

xxwhynotxx · May 13, 2013

How exactly did you calibrate it?

I want one but it says 23-30th before delivery so no haha.

zinkscott · May 13, 2013

I got mine from eBay. Calibrated via Advanced options in Recovery. It's the same size as the stock battery.

Buying it, is it a significant difference?

xxwhynotxx · May 13, 2013

Do you have a link? I can't find a quick one.

And how long did calibration take?

And it seems that he went into recovery mode, went to advanced and wiped the battery stats.

xxwhynotxx · May 13, 2013

I want one sooner then 10-17 days though! And right, but is it just a minute process?

Says its 1920 mah

I've researched battery stats.

-charge to 100
-erase stats
-discharge completely
-charge

but on that last step, do we charge the phone on or off?

This is what I got. New 1900mAh BL 44JS Lithium ion Battery for LG Lucid 4G VS840 Viper 4G LTE LS840 | eBay

Took only 4 days from China. I did exactly what xxwhynotxx did, with the ohone on during the second charge. Totally worth it.

xxwhynotxx · May 14, 2013

I think I'm getting the china one for 4 compared to 2 for 23.

Probably better to charge it when off when calibrating.

xxwhynotxx · May 14, 2013

Someone had said that the phone didn't log info about the battery or something when charging off, so I wasn't sure.

But I believe you, thanks!
