How to replace the battery in your Motorola Milestone XT720 ( BP6X ) for longer life

http://bit.ly/dejiBP6X Motorola's Milestone XT720 Android smartphone, like other high-end smartphones, burns power quickly, limiting talk and run time. Power management is a major hurdle for these ambitious, early generation smartphones and is the topic of several other danimations digital media tips. In this episode, danimations seeks out a high capacity replacement battery from Deji to alleviate the problem, swapping it with the stock Motorola BP6X battery. After testing for two weeks on a device running Android Froyo 2.2, Dan Monceaux shares his results in this video.

I reflashed my Samsung Galaxy S with "Darkys Mod"... which one of it's features.. it disables the low battery application blocker :)

@seanslater Interesting... I wonder how it does that? Hence you're idea about an app to do the same... that would be handy for the Deji battery and Moto XT720 combo!

You make a good point regarding the 'low battery' warning stopping from opening the camera and other applications - that is as you said, very frustrating. I wonder if there is an app to change that behaviour.

[danimationstips]

@seanslater Yeah, I thought it might be a battery 'memory' issue... there's a batterystats.bin file mentioned in several battery conditioning tutorials which can be safely deleted to wipe the device's stored history of charge/capacity etc. I tried this (twice) but with no change to the rapid charge fall-off (in metering) problem.

Hey, let us know what model battery this is so we can look for it online.

1) GREAT thaks for adding subtitles for this video, you know, there is a lot of different video manuals on Youtube, of different things, but only a few with subtitles (and a lot with sluurred voices, so it is HELL to understand wut they saying). thanks)

2) Question is - is battery in XT720 the same as in the Motorola Milestone A853, BP6X? will be it fine for Milestone?

Btw, nice T-shirt. "I see dead pixels" thats funny)
