Hey Seidio, Still Waiting on that 3000mAh Battery...

Innocell 3000mAh Extended Life Battery
It has been quite some time now since this was announced, is anyone else as anxious as I am? Hopefully when it is released we will start seeing different battery covers coming out. Just thought I would get some other people's input.

I couldn't care less. I get 24+ hours on my battery now, with chargers in everyplace I frequent throughout the day and a spare charger in my laptop bag for those emergency moments.

I seriously doubt you really use your phone very much. The only time I got 24 hours out of my battery was when it sat unused an entire day.
For the rest of us that actually want to use a smartphone that isn't crippled, this extended life battery is a huge deal. So yes, OP, I check their website every week to see if I somehow missed the announcement. I can't wait!

I broke down and bought the 3500mah from ebay, but no cover
I wanna use the phone how I wanna use it, and not need to worry bout battery being to low to listen to music or take a pic.

This battery, coupled with my two spares and the original might actually let me go away for a week (almost) without being near electricity. That'd be cool.

this would be nice.... I am sucking down 2 and a half batteries a day......

x2, atleast i'm not the only one that knows how to manage their cell phone battery life.
Right now i'm sitting at 80% with 3h 52m on, time without signal at 1%, screen on time of 16 minutes voice calls of 7 minutes, and I've been listening to music on my phone from the SDcard for about 20 minutes.

If you actually take the time to set up your phone correctly, you can save a ton of battery life. I use tasker to accomplish a majority of these tasks. For instance, when angry birds is being played i have the phone automatically adjust the brightness to a slightly higher level and i have it turn off the data connections and wifi. Then when i exit it returns the phone to the state it was in before angry birds. I have a ton of these profiles set up.

how many people will take the time for that?
also are you running a custom kernel?

Phoenix 1.43 right now. And it takes a few minutes to set pretty much everything up. I just set them up as I need them.

Battery life isn't the worst, but for me its inconsistant. One day I will make trough a day, next day ill get half.
I know it will get better with froyo and updated kernals and roms.
The touch pro 2 had great battery, I always had gps on and palringo going and didn't have to worry about battery.
The other day I was in vegas taking pics with some random person, I was able to take one, while trying to take another
Boom "battery too low"

I had the same issue. I found that it was something causing the battery not to go to sleep. For me, the music player (Fascinate one from EE rom) would start CorePlayerServices which would run and not allow the phone to sleep. As long as that service is running, my phone wasn't sleeping correctly. There are other things that cause this not sleeping problem as well, but that is the only one I have identified personally.

You are misunderstanding the reasons why I want this battery. Yes I could set up my phone to last for a whole day no problem, but that would severely limit the amount of time that I spend on it and the purpose for which I use it so often. I am constantly testing and flashing new zips over and over and over, which will drain the battery tremendously as it is. Testing a 32 x 32 icon on a 480x800 screen is straining on the eyes when the brightness is turned all the way down, so that must be up to see the fine details of images that I have edited.
I understand that it is completely possible to make my phone last much longer than it currently is, but taking the steps necessary to do so would thus render it useless for the tasks that I am trying to accomplish. I live off of my phone because I can and choose to do so, it is my hobby to develop custom themes/ROMs for the Epic and I don't plan on stopping just to have my battery life last 2x longer.
When this comes out it will mean the difference between being able to do whatever I want on my phone for 8-10 hours under very heavy use and only being able to make it last for less than 6 hours. IMO this is significantly to my advantage.

what is med usage to you?

G2x battery life

Just wondering how is the battery life on this phone, had the chance to play with it @ a tmo store for a good 1 hour and its an awesome device ran benchmark on it and it scored really good, I was suprise it beat the G2 even when I overclock it to 1.42 ghz lol. I really want to know about the Battery life in these dual core smartphones, as I'm tempted to get me a G2x.
T-Mobile G2 1.42 GHZ

Its great.
inb4 use the search button

It really depends who you ask about it. There are a ton of battery complaints whereas I and many others find the battery life to be exceptional.

I think most of the people complaining about battery life either
A) Haven't performed a factory reset which fixes the phones constant power usage even when idle. OR went into the hidden menu and changed the radio to GSM and WCDMA Auto.
B) Have a defective battery (ie those who say their battery drains even when the phone is powered down)
C) Have unrealistic expectations for battery life all together.

Well on point C, I can say with absolute confidence that this battery is the best I've ever had out of all my smartphones (PPC-6700, Mogul, Touch, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Curve 8330, Bold 9700, Palm Pre CDMA, HTC Hero, Evo, Inspire, and the Samsung Captivate) with me being able to talk for four hours and still have 30% of the battery left and then I can game for another 2 or 3 hours. Most of those phones would have been dead after the phone calls (the Captivate would be close to death, the Curve would be about an hour behind it) let alone having to power such a nice display and high-powered graphics chip.

I tend to think the actual answer is (d) the battery driver is so vastly broken that any reading it gives is essentially fictional. In this case, some people will be happy with their battery life (because their readings are fictionally high) and others will be freaked out (because theirs are fictionally low) but the actual answer is "nobody knows".

This battery outlasting my Vibrant by hours with the same usage pattern isn't at all fictional. Not saying the drivers arent messed up.. But if battery life is as good as it has been for many users already it can only get better. Either way in its existing state its still better than many android phones.

Not at all convinced that it's accurate - still saw something like a 60% drop in a few minutes, on a brand new battery.
It does seem to help the "stall" problem.

Exactly. If the battery driver reads "0" then it will shut off. That doesn't mean the battery is depleted. This explains why you'll get awesome battery if you clear battery stats on a full charge initially. It aligns the counter with the actual battery.
Mine runs from 8-midnight with some to spare with heavier then normal (thanks xda!) usage.
LG G2x - CM7 2.3.4

The G2X has with out a doubt the best battery I have ever had on a smart phone and has been since day one. I never had any battery problems but that might be because since day one I have used SetCPU, rooted my device and froze all of the bloatware including WiFi calling. I constantly get about 15 hours with moderate use and 8 hours with heavy use which includes 1 hour worth of playing games, 1 hour browsing the internet, 1 hour reading all of my RSS, 30 minutes reading Fox news and CNN, 50 text messages, 1 hour of phone calls, 2 hours streaming music or playing my MP3's and about 30 minutes browsing facebook and twitter.

Well I just asked because of the bad review on battery life on tmobile website but I will probably get the phone in august, by than it'll probably have gingerbread. Only thing I don't like about the phone is the lack of hardware keyboard especially because tmo considers it part of the G series which it doesn't fit in, and only god knows I what I would do if this phone had a keyboard to get it LOL I would rob a bank.

Unless suffering from some issue idle drain is awesome. Afraid not much can be done about the drain during use though besides turning screen brightness down and using wifi instead of 4g.
I pretty much never use wifi anymore because its so damn slow.. but hopefully that will get fixed because with wifi on battery life is just unreal even when in use.

Getting best battery per charge out of your skyrocket.

I am opening this thread to facilitate skyrocket users to share their experiences on getting most out of one charge.
I generally prefer something that shows percentage on top since the battery display does not provide detailed info.
I have tried few free aaps and finally found the best one. It is '2x battery' app. I used to loose 4 - 7% per hour in standby mode. With this app, It gives me 1-2% most in burn in hour. While writing this, I am 36% after 17 hours of regular use.

im at 11 hours and have 89% left using Juice Defender plus..

The only problem with JuiceDefender is that if you use messaging apps like Kik or WhatsApp, it will make it so that you don't receive the messages unless you have your phone active, making your phone pretty much useless.

I dont buy anything til I see proof of screen time and battery use screens.
Just got the phone yesterday, but I must say, coming from the epic 4g touch where I was getting 25 hours with 5 hours screen on time, it doesn't look promising.
But to be fair I haven't underclocked, undervolted and all the other tricks yet. Properly working sleep mode is essential.

I will try the 2x battery,

I use JuiceDefenderPro; custom profile
After 7 hours on battery, I am at 90%.
light calls, 1-bar of signal on 4gLTE, apps grab data every 15 minutes.

Anyone see results w/ underclocking?
I am using Antutu's CPU Master (Free), but my results have been inconclusive (sometimes uses less, sometimes uses more.. can't tell). I am considering getting the paid version of the app (or SetCPU or Android Overclock) to try the screen off profiles.

I use set CPU to underclock when the screen is off and when battery is low. In my experiences the savings are noticeable but not major.
With set CPU, juice defender, and a de-bloated rom I usually go to bed with around 30% battery remaining. That's about on par with my nexus one running cm7.

I haven't really had issues with the battery on my skyrocket. Then again, I'm not I'm an LTE area but you can pretty much expect bad battery life in an LTE area. Regardless, I have noticed something odd about the battery on my skyrocket, and maybe someone can confirm my observations here...my skyrocket tends to lose battery fairly constantly at first up to about the 80% mark then slows down the rate off loss of charge and I notice another huge slow down in drainage at the 30% mark. I've seen this repeatedly no matter what I do. In other words, screen on or off, I tend to see this happen. I'm not complaining as I think a 20 hour battery is great when using it heavily. And I kind of think of the slow drainage at the 30% as a nice perk. I'm running it stock so I can't chock it up to anythnng other than the phone. Any thoughts?

Why does everyone say this about LTE? It is simply not true. All LTE does is give you higher bandwidth with less delay. Wan't good battery life, run a custom ROM. I am running the ICS v4.1 and I must say it is much better than anything else I have tried. I keep 4sq, FB, twitter and gmail all running in the background along with BeWeather updating every hour.

Everyone says that about LTE because (from what I've read) running LTE requires more power due to several reasons. I did a quick search and sprint may be a great indication of proof of the power consumption of "4g" from what I've read their phones disengage wimax when not in use in order to conserve energy. If LTE is faster and operates at higher frequencies (if I'm not mistaken) then it should require more energy. I could go outside the box and come up with some equations that relate frequency to energy (they exist) but I will admit I don't know if they can be applied to the circuitry in phones though I don't see why it wouldn't as the theory is sound. In any case, yes running a custom rom will do wonders for battery but some of us haven't taken that plunge yet. As it is, my stock skyrocket is doing great for me lasting 20 hours. Im out of the house at 6am and usually don't get home till 8 at night. It makes it through that with ease. I'm happy with that. Bring on the LTE, I'll cross that battery consumption bridge when we get there.

how i doubled my battery life

I've had a rooted bolt for a year and 1/2 and always had bad battery life. I even bought a rezound battery hoping it would help. But it barely changed. I u installed Google maps and now I have 60% at the end of my work day where as before I'd charge it by 3 pm due to a dead battery. I hope this helps someone who does.t care too much about using Google maps

Not sure what Rom you're using, if it's Aosp, I suggest trying imo lean 184 kernel. With speedtweak setting on #1 normal, undervolted, cpu min 184 - max 1408. After 15 hrs of light to moderate use, I had 49% batt left. Used to be dead at 6 hrs.

I've actually been pleasantly surprised by BatteryXL in the market. It doesn't do anything spectacular aside from shutting down radios and services when they're really not needed. It's helped me to get through an entire day with no charging.

Or you could just disable GPS until you need it.

I am also running tshed (imo lean) and 605.9 radios. Common thought seems to point to 605.19 rsdios being a bit more power hungry than the 605.9s...

ya i always have gps disabled but maps was always running in services.... even if you stop it it comes back. probably because im rooted and sometimes things happen at some points id have 2 or 3 instances of maps running. i decided to just uninstall it and im telling you ive never had my battery last like it does not.... never since i got the phone 1 1/2 years ago

I removed maps and I get a little bit better battery life. I don't know if you are using wifi or not while you are working but that could have a lot to do with the increase you are seeing as well.

I noticed maps runs all the time but because I get decent battery life (CM7, Imo's184hz kernel undervolted even beyond extreme using incredicontrol) I never thought much of it. I did notice when I killed it it runs back immediately. I'm going to freeze it with titanium and see if it makes a difference.

Hi All,
I am gonna get my Nexus 5 ( 32GB Variant ) in about 2 weeks and I've done extensive research on numerous reviews and found out that the battery life is mediocre ( in GSM Arena it says 40H on the endurance test )
Is this battery life issue easy to get over with by installing custom roms?

Sometimes I reboot because of a qcom-camera-something-like-that bug draining battery or whatever it is but no serious deal breaker
I had one time 1 day 14h @ 44% with light usage, wifi turned. Most of the time i do play a lot, read mangas, have whatsapp, hangout, facebook, snapchat, instagram and all these apps installed pushing notifications, It still gets me through the day easily.
I was worried about the battery when i bought it but keep in mind, even if the LG G2 has 3000 mah, it has to run all LG services and tricks like "double tap to wake up", this device is PURE Google. See it like an enormous engine with only wheels, no fancy sh*ts, it's up to you if you want to make it lightweight or heavy as ...
Anyway if you're still concerned about the battery life, get a wireless charger for 40 bucks and put it where you stay the most (desktop at work/next to you computer). You will just have to lay it down to make it charge with no efforts

I'm guessing you had the screen brightness set to its lowest.

Battery life is what you make of it. I can make my phone last 8 hours or a day and a half.
I feel like there are over a hundred threads inquiring about battery life. At least two a week.
