Battery Life

Hello there,
does anyone know if there is a possibility of inserting a stronger battery into the S710? The current one (factory, I guess, since I've never replaced it) is 1050 mAh. I could realy do with a longer battery life. But, can't we all!
Who knows if and what is possible when it comes to the battery?

There are extended batteries, just search eBay. They have like 200 and more mAh, but they come wit an extended back plate too, so it sticks out quite a bit...

It seems that I am having a problem with my battery. Its draining from a full charge to 80% within 15 minutes of use (If I dont use it stays at 98-99). Is it natural or has the time arrived for changing a battery. Moreover, I observe that there is nowhere written HTC Ltd on my battery. Its written 'Manufactured by Simple Technology Co Ltd, China". So is the battery original ? On average I loose my battery within 18-20 hours from 100% to 7-8% on 60 to 120 minutes of surfing and 30 to 60 minutes of average calling daily.
I have signal strength mostly 90 to 100%. Occassionally it drops to 70%

the only way I can help you is by saying that I have the same (if it says: Simplo) manufacturer, and that this is the battery that came with my phone. So unless the webshop I bought it at is cheating, you've got the right battery. I've had it for a little more than a year now, and I'm not familiar with your problem...!

Thanks dekraan. It is indeed Simplo (and not Simple). But then I am facing this problem. What is your average battery life ? I have to wait if somebody else can throw some light on this topic.
Using Fireburned clean ROM 1.1
Applications running in the background (excepting system files) : Featherweather2 files, mortscript, keylock.

the S710 battery does have an issue it seems.
Mine ran out of juice after 9 months of juice so I got it replaced by a new one.
Free since it was under warranty.

Well, you can probably guess I am not so happy with the batterylife of the S710, since thats why I started this topic . I think with moderate use (texting, some calling and sometimes a little surfing) and WM 6.1 standard, I have to reload it at least once in three days. I have noticed though that if I surf, my battery seems to lose about a percentage each minute!

Well thats where my problem starts. I am an avid surfer and my battery also drains on a similar rate when I surf. So my battery seems to be ok. A few more comments can clarify the things further.

I can't clarify -- I can only confirm the problem. I have to charge my S710 throughout the day. I've tried the complete drain/complete charge method with no discernible improvement. Using WiFi used to drain the battery very quickly, but now any time I try to use WiFi, the phone immediately turns off as though it's been instantly drained to 0.

Comment on my TP Battery Life ...

Hi,
Here is a days consumption after full charging ..
Screen Brightness Auto
1 hour of GPS Usage (Screen On all 1 Hour)
Wifi used for aprox 1 Hour
10 E mails written and sent
15 Texts sent
15 min of call duration..
40 to 50 min of general usage .. like (Games, Setting Changes etc)
Data Network not used
With this usage, it took 9 hours for the battery to give a low wrning ...
Is this poor, ok, good performance ...

Seems normal to me. I get similar life out of my TP

same here.. it seems normal.. well there are ofcourse some thinks you could do to improve battery decreasement but that's mostly said common sense... well by chaninging radio rom some versions might improve the battery ussage... well read around the forum to find stuff out

9 hours of usage time is normal. But if 9 hours of usage time + suspend time, then you might need to check any 3rd party software you installed on your device (like S2U2 pre 1.40).

[Q] What's your normal life battery period ?

mine lasts about 1.5 , 2 days HARDLY , and iam not really doing any thing on it , what about you guys ?? any idea how to enhance battery life on the International samsung galaxy S I9000 GT ?

1 / 1.5 day
Calls in/out: 40 min.
WIFI: 1hr
Music: 1hr
3G: off o minutes
Playing around: 2hr

I get about a full day's worth of battery life on my MyTouch 3G. I'm running SuperD 1.11.

so i guess iam on the "normal" consumption side , i last 1.5 days , 2 HARDLYYYYY
normally i use wifi for 2 hours , 1 hours of call duration per day
rest is music , 3 hours

[Q] Battery Life... poor?

Hi guys, I've got an LG Optimus One, and it seems like it's not having a good battery life, at least I believe, since this is the first smartphone I have.
So, I turned it on this morning at about 7:30am, got back home at 2:40pm and the battery is at 39%. If I get on the Battery Use screen, it says 42% Android System; 29% Display; 24% Cell Standby; 8% Phone Idle. That's all it says.
What did I do with the phone this morning: Checked out 1 web page like... 5 times during the morning, played Angry Birds for less than 10 minutes, took 4 photos and a 3 minutes video, checked twice the Bus time arrival... Played for 20 seconds a song at the max volume... And of course I looked at the time about 10 times. In total it is something like 30-40 minutes of usage out of 7 hours.
Is it really supposed to lose that much battery? What if I want to really use it? Will the battery drop in like 2 hours?
By the way, the LG Optimus One has got a 1500mAh battery, which to me seems to be quite good...

Try to condition the Battery, let the Battery drain completely, and then charge it up while its off. this way the life of the battery will improve, do it once a while

I've already done it, just yesterday

Battery drain is affected by several factors:
- If you installed a cooked ROM you may want to try another
- If you are in a low signal zone that also drains a lot
- If you have a cooked ROM try also changing radio version
- Buy a spare one

Thanks for answering. I'm not using a custom ROM, and I've got 4 out of 5 lines of signal
I guess i'll buy an other battery, maybe the one from Mugen Power, with 300 more mAh, which is nice Thanks anyway

Seems to be popular on the forums. Whats eating up your battery? Have you rooted? Custom rom? Tried apps like greenify and ds battery saver? I can easily get two days out of my phone with 3-4 hours of screen on time on the mf9 stock rom rooted.

Don't really know what's eating it. Mostly cause when i use it for regular uses like apps, web surfing, setting exploring (got it yesterday) and gaming.
And i want a hellish better battery, but the thing im afraid of is the safety of it, can it easily damage the phone cause of hot summer days or cold winter days?
And i don't root since i have managed to brick 2 previous phones even though i want a clean simple google edition of the android 4.3, but then again i want a stable one with every function included and some of the including samsung apps like shealth for temp check and the watch app for tv remote controlling.

Get it now!
These are my results on the battery so far
Max Brightness & Gaming = 12 hours
Min Brightness & No gaming = 25 hours 16 min
*Results are On screen time*
The results below are the Samsung 2600Mah battery
Max brightness & gaming = 1-2 hours
Min Brightness and No gaming = 4-6 hours
*Results are On screen time*

Another good app to try out is battery doctor.
P.s. you need a couple battery cycles to get best performance from battery
I get around 12 to 16 hrs on stock battery. zerolemon should be here any day now

25 hours on min brightness ?
cool
Most off the time i have around 6-8 hours screentime and i only need to charge every 2 days.(no gaming, auto brightness -2, wifi, bt, gps, mobile,nfc, all on...)
i tried once not to touch the phone for a full day and i had 91% left at the end off the day with about 20 minutes off screentime
Got the battery about 2 weeks ago, still very happy with it, only thing that worked on my nerves so far is to put the phone in recovery mode after turning off the device, i usually end up removing the cover to make sure i touch the buttons

the only thing im afraid of is if a unoriginal battery can damage the phone or in worst case explode (as mentioned in the manual)

Warning for anyone
If you are thinking of buying the White version i would suggest not to because it absorbs color from basically anywhere it can, Mines yellowish..

i guess your right, i wanted to do some testing myself
from 100 to 50 % battery in a little more then 8 hours & 30 minutes with :
-> brightness at 100%, gps, wifi, mobile, bt, nfc, everything toggled to on
-> autosync 8 accounts from wich 3 are email accounts
-> 4 hours music with screen on and volume almost at maximum (done with battery test utility)
-> watch over 3 hours tv (streaming with wifi)
-> trip from 30 minutes with (Waze) navigation (forgot to turn it off in the background, turned it off after an hour i think)
= screentime 8 hours and 50% left
So max brightness probably gives (about) 16 hours off nonstop screentime based on my use.
After a couple off charging cycles with an app called android tuner, it tells me i can have over 14 days on standby, i wonder if this will be correct but i don't feel like testing that

My battery test was done while playing Dead Trigger for 8 hours at a time and then letting the device cool down for around 30 mins and then playing it again for around 4 more hours (Dead trigger results )

Wow, i had just the battery doctor in the background and the battery fell from 94 to 79% overnight... darn theese quadcores theese days are hungry! Almost even worse than the HOX i used to have.. and with what this phone can it's almost like i want to keep the battery killer than going back to iphone 5 which never acted like such of a battery hog

- Screen mainly on auto
- Bluetooth transfers, pictures, etc....
Max screen time could be 12 hours, because the battery resisted to die and stuck at 3% :silly:
Pro
- more easy holding smartphone now
- battery life
- soundoutput better when laying on the backside
- good grip, less slippery
- now also available in europe (amazon.co.uk)
- fair price
Cons
- a bit too thick
- signal problems from time to time esp. when holding in your hand on places with poor reception

I was gna get that 7500 mah one .but it was out of stock at the time so I bought the hyperion 5200 and it works great it also came with the extnded battery cover with it , I have had nothing but a good experience with it. And it can last up to 3 to four days with ds battery saver and moderate use.

In regards to your cons, it's about 2 mm thicker than the 5200 extendeds out there. I think the bigger drawback is the weight.
I haven't noticed any signal problems myself, but I think you would be more sensitive to it if you already have signal problems. I don't live in threshold areas so I don't feel this drawback, but a lot of people have mentioned it.

Zerolemon 7500mah Battery Review
Hey, guys! I did a review on my Youtube channel of this battery. There's a link in my signature if you want to check it out Got some crazy battery life with it!

Woo got mine. First cycle 1day6hrs. Screen time 8 hrs. Runing goldeneye.

I got the 7500 as well. I've been using it for about 5 days now and the most i've gotten is 7 hours screen time. My main battery drainage is audio_out 2. I went from 96% to 30% in a day. I might've either gotten a defective battery or my usage is crazy. I still don't know what my audio_out2 is.
