Seidio 3200 Extended Battery

[mayfieldh]

I ordered the Seidio 3200 battery and tried charging it in my AT&T 8925 Tilt. I left it on charge until the light turn Green.
Starting using it and within 8 hours I was at LOW battery and system died. I removed the battery and put it back in and the battery indicated goes up to 73%.

What is the deal here. Is it my phone that does not understand that it has a larger battery or is it the battery. Since that time I have sent the battery and got a new one and the same thing.
Is there some software utility to tell the Pocket PC that it has a larger battery.
Confused....????...!!!!

I have one on my sprint mogul and it lasts all day for me with 90% at the end of the day, do you use the net or do alot of streaming (playing music online or watching movies like youtube) because even with a bigger battery stuff like that sucks the crap out of a battery, plus do you get a good network signal? because if your phone goes in to roaming it makes the phone work harder and in return it makes it suck more juice........ they also say let the battery run dead and recharge it from there to get a good charge, there's time I find that the phones net still runs in the back ground with out you knowing about it and that kills the battery too, I have to go to the task manager to see what app's are still running and shut them off ....... try that and see if your battery last longer.

I have one and am lucky to get 10 hours out of it.. I upgraded the rom and before I put "tons" of stuff on it it lasted about 20 hours, so I feel that it's the e-mail checking two account ever 10 minutes, running on an exchange server type set up....weather checking, icons galore from several SPB software add ons.......Conclusion: It all the stuff on it, not the battery itself.
