Battery heating and bulging (bloat) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

My Redmi note 3 has developed a battery bloat (Bulge) and the screen has changed its flat to a curve shape. I went through some other forums about batteries and came to know that you are running a video or movie or playing a game while the phone is charging then it leads to a buildup of gas due to over heating. So its suggested that avoid usage of heavy apps on your phone while its charging (like even google maps navigation while charging) .

Can you post some pics of your curved phone....
You got a curved phone in the price of normal phone, you are lucly....

Yes thats the disadvantage of Quick Charge...
The Lipo Battery can not handle the high Charging Juice... It heats up and can blow up...
Look at Samsung etc...
Use a regular Charger... Yes it takes a few hours to Charger but it is much better for your battery, with QC lifetime is half compared to regular Charging... Think about it when buying a Phone with non removable Battery
Sorry for my Bad English

buy a new battery they are like $7 or return it under warranty if you don't want to open it, Lithium battery's are dangerous, don't charge the phone unattended since it can explode or start a fire.

IMO warranty is the choice

yeah I would return it for a replacement, xiaomi should know about this if it's a problem, remember this phone has a 4000mAh battery which is even more then the Samsung Galaxy S7s battery (3500 mAh).

^ better safe then sorry

RN3P doesn't support quick charge. And what the heck... If I navigate with gmaps o nokia Here I need to charge the phone while driving.
This battery has a malfunction... One out of thousands..
But I would also like to see some pictures of the phone

If you use charger provided with the phone, it is better.
Avoid heavy games and watching HD/youtube videos for longer time while charging for safer side.

Can you please post some pictures? It must be a rare case. Never heard about this. If there is effect on screen, and phone body, as you're saying, you should contact Xiaomi, if they can do something, as battery problems come under warranty.

My redmi note 3 too have this swelling of battery within 6 months of use. I have to literally fight with the service center guys to get it submitted. One said its covered in warranty then a next guy rejected that its not. Its been around 20 days and still no reply from them. Their landline phone is never connected and they never call back. Service combination of Xiaomi and HCL is worst. Xiaomi don't provide the HCL the parts and the guy hired by HCL are worst and ill-mannered.
Day by day the battery size get bigger and bigger. The back panel and screens started getting out from the sides. Here are the images of phone due to swelling of battery.

Battery Upgrades

has anyone ever found a battery that's better than the stock unit?
and no, not the humpback crazy one with the new battery cover.
something like the Seidio battery that Palm Treo users have available ... it's 2,400mAh whereas the stock is somewhere around 2,000 mAh .. same dimensions but heavier ...
Hey,
I`m looking for one too.
Has anybody an idea where I can get a cheap one? (In Germany)
What about the China Batterys?
That depends which version of the battery you have...
O2 have always shipped the larger 1250mAh battery rather than the default HTC 1000mAh battery. The 1250mAh tends to last about two days of heavy use.
There is an extended battery of over 2000mAh but that sticks out like huge lump.
1000mAh

Messiah, I advise you to be careful in using aftermarket batteries for any electronic device. More often than not, price is directly related to quality. Cheaper batteries typically do not match the OEM battery's output capacities for volts & amps, and typically they supply a faster charge, not slower. Accelerated charging can damage your device. I know a few people who have damaged their phones/PDAs after using an aftermarket piece. If you are really interested in another battery, I would spend the extra $$ and buy an OEM one from HTC, from an authorized reseller (i.e service provider), or at least a battery that has numerous positive online reviews from users.
If you are concerned about battery life, you might consider investing in a Triple Charger - it can charge the Wizard from a car (DC) outlet, in your home (AC), or in an emergency. You can attach two 9-Volt batteries to the charger, and charge your device that way, regardless of your location. You can use regular or rechargeable 9V batteries. Here is a link to the charger bundle for the Wizard - if you decide to order, enter the redemption code xdadev to receive 10% off your order:

Even existing standard cradle should be safe enough as it has current limit, it will take longer time to charge the battery, thats all.

Yes, you are right, but I'don't have a cradle and I'm using one of these
I was also eying for that one too. 3600 mAh, in case I bricked my battery tonight after modding. *cross your fingers*
^^ Briked the battery, classic! is it even possible?
how much time will it take to charge it.I bought the same battey
Do you bought this battery already? How long it takes to charge? Better, how long it last with normal use?
best regards
i have a 26oo mAh battery..It seems it takes a little more time to charge, and i use my pda2k for 5-6 day with 10-15 minuts of call, without using tom tom or other heavy program..
Bye bye

Hi, what means costum backcover? Can anyone put a picture of it?
i don't have that exact model. i have a 4200mah battery from ebay germany. but as you can see in the lousy quality photos (the universal really does not have a great cam) i posted as an attachment the battery itself sticks out a bit beginning about 5mm from the top and going to the very bottom, meaning, the device does not go in the cradle anymore. but it still fits the original casing. it is just 3mm thicker than the stock battery. i guess a 3600, 3200 or even 2600 battery would be even slimmer

http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Cradle-Dock...Accessories?hash=item1c0fd05e1b#ht_3640wt_972
Has anyone purchased this package? Its a USB cradle dock charger, car charger and extra battery. Its a little on the cheap side at $22 dollars for all your getting not to mention free shipping which is why im a little scepticle. I need a dock though and an extra battery so i wanted opinions/feedback first. Also, is that an extended battery or is it the same specs/mAh as a stock battery? That car charger looks like junk, i already have an OEM Motorola one though so i dont care about that...Good to have a backup though i guess just incase. Let me know whats up folks.
Opinion
For $22 dollars, its not a bad deal but I would be nervous about putting a cheap battery in my phone. Leakage or worse.
The battery is actually pretty good quality, it's not horribly bad or anything. I bought that after my stock battery began to fail on me (couldn't hold charge, etc.) The battery holds its charge quite well, and i'm not too concerned about it leaking or anything. Although, my battery does fit quite tightly into the space, a lot tighter than the stock g1 battery.
I have one if these and I like the dock. Haven't really used the battery. I had just bought a replacement battery for my G1. You don't just drop the phone in the dock. It takes a little manuevering sometimes to get the connecter in the bottom of the G1.
The dock with the "Bedside" app from the market makes a very good alarm clock.
i wish they made this in white
I don't have a car and I don't like dinky cheap batteries. So I went a bought a piano black dock for the g1. It's pretty nice cause it's got 2 usb slots (1 for power and the other for data) and a 3.5mm jack on the back and it can charge a second battery. I like it a lot.
The only problem I had with it was the fact that I had to plug in the stock headset mic thingy in order to have phone call capabilities while device was plugged into dock with speakers also plugged in.
Not that bad of a problem and it works great.
Just do an ebay search for Piano black dock g1...
oops i goofedd

[Q] Lumia 800 high capacity internal battery?

Hello Folks,
some days ago, I bought from Ebay a new battery to my mother's iPhone, I bought a battery with 2430 mAh, I had searched for one like that to Lumia 800, I have a WP7, LG E900 with a battery like that and I can use it for three days without change the battery, any one here can say here a find a battery like that to Lumia 800?
Thanks!!!
dont use batteries that arent made only for your phone or produced from nokia in your case.
If its a fake 1)the battery life will go down very fast 2)you will for sure have a problem when charging your phone with extreme temps and lastly there is even a chance with chinese or fake batteries that they will explode(not like a bomb but still will ruin your phone) if exposed in high temps(sun etc)
All replacement batteries arent that bad. Before buying read the reviews in amazon etc. For example I had an "extended" battery on my Samsung galaxy s and I never had any problems with it, and it really improved the battery life. Though I remember news about exploding phones when using these replacement batteries. Yes, of course there is a risk, and it is a risk that you should think about. In my opinion your Lumia 800 is too expensive to gamble
i thought you couldnt replace batteries for this phone?!? isnt it like the iphone, ie built in (cant get it out)

It can be replaced but you need to take the phone apart. It is not very difficult though.

Tronsmart Chocolate Quickcharge Wireless Charger

Just got this wireless charger from Tronsmart and I figured I'd do a review on it! Here's some pics first:

As you can see, I've already got the Samsung stand wireless charger which I use daily, but I wanted to try out something else for desk usage as well.
This charger works as it says, and it definitely works with fast charging. However, only thing to note here is that the charger itself only comes with a USB cable; you must provide the charging block yourself...and because of this, you have to use a Quickcharger in order to get the fast wireless charging out of it. No big deal, just plug it into your charging block that came with your S7 and you're fine.
In terms of temperature, the Samsung stand charger has a little fan built in to help dissipate heat. When I used the Samsung charger, I've heard it kick on before (it's very low) and the charger itself never really got hot or anything.
As you can imagine with how compact the Tronsmart charger is, there's no fan inside. At first this worried me a bit, but after using it with quick charging, I noticed it doesn't seem to get warm or have any issues with it. I've been testing it with my S7, but I will continue to do further testing with a Note 5 as well.
In terms of style, it's not bad to look at. It's a nice flat thin little piece, and the top has some rubber on it to help secure the phone in place. This is nice compared to my old Nokia one which was just hard plastic and the phone would slide all over.
It has green/blue LED in it, but this is where I'm not too crazy. The blue LED is always on to show it has power going to it. No other wireless charger I've used has an LED to indicate power, and I don't like it because if I'm sleeping at night and not using wireless charging, that blue light (no matter how faint) annoys me; i'm just one of those people that need to sleep in the dark!
All in all though, this is a nice charger for half the price of the Samsung charger. I hope in the future they make a stand charger though, as it's much easier to see/use at night when I want to simply turn it on real quick to check the time. For that reason, the Samsung charger will remain as my standard daily, but the Tronsmart charger will remain on my desk next to my PC for day time charging.
They're selling on Amazon here:
