Touch Pro 2 battery In DZ

Hey All,
Today I decided to look into a larger capacity battery for my DZ NAM, and I took a look at my old Touch Pro 2...
The Battery fits quite well, its 1500mAh as opposed to the 1300 with the DZ.
I had to trim out the plastic on the TP2 battery, and then place it in upside down.
The cover pops up slightly after the battery is in, nothing that would bother you lots, in other words its not as flush as the original DZ battery.
I am going to use it to swap out between my 2 batteries.
Hope this helps, not bad for a free battery in my case

Great news !!
I have also a BA-S390 from my old Touch Pro 2... I'll try this tonight !
When you charge the battery inside the phone is it getting hotter or colder than the original DZ battery ?

I just got 2.5 days out of my stock Z battery and still had 60% left (granted didn't use it much).
I left my charger at work, and had a snow day yesterday.
I don't know what all the fuss about battery life is about.

Len,
To get 2.5 days out of a smartphone you must firstly not be overclocking at all, and secondly you must not have used it one bit.
2.5 days = total non usage
Even the iphone4 with its powersaving a4 chip does not get 2.5 days, unless you dont touch the beast.
And i like to generally use my phone

Actually I am overclocked to 1.4ghz and underclocked for screen off.
You are right, I hardly touched the phone at all, I did need it as an alarm twice in the time I was without a charger. (I was forced into this situation by leaving my charger at work)
But it shows that with no use the phone only loses 1% a day.

I generally lose about 2-4 percent an hour not in use. But my phone is sync'ed up to everything, lol

Mine was down at 30% after exactly 48 hours.
Which is great, cause I did use it. Played Angry birds, sent sms and made a phonecall.

Who said anything about fuss?
I was pointing out that the TP2 battery works, and is larger capacity... I have a ton of reasons to have a second battery and would rather not spend an extra $40.
I travel lots... and I use my phone to watch tv on the plan.
Not sure about how hot the battery gets on charge, haven't used it much yet.
As for the original I get 2 days with moderate use.

that comment wasn't aimed at you
Just that there have been lots of complaints about battery life on this phone (and the desire HD)...those people obviously never had a Desire as the battery life on the Z and HD are loads better than the desire ever was.

agreed, I find the stock battery tollerable on my DZ

@Blesseld: i also have a tp2 battery lying around, so if you happen to charge it, i would be really thankful for any reports about the charging behavior...

I have descended from tp2pro aswell, and must admit that I have used my old tp2 battery from the second day I had a DZ. I must admit I have 'trimmed' it so that it doesn't cause any bulge on the metal flap covering the batt compartment, and I can say that even though the old batt is 6 months old it performs well enough to get me through the whole working day. I do make a lot of calls a day, I keep I-net connection constantly on, and I never switch Bluetooth off....
I realize its a heavy load on the battery but afterall I got the fone to do its job (calls, emails, driving, gps, etc).
The battery lasts well into from 8am to 7pm (with my heavy usage) but must say that whenever I'm driving I will have fone charging, regardless of its power level.
Nevertheless, I have a spare battery at hand ( original DZ one) should the worst happen.
FYI, my daily batt stats is usually as follows: display 30percent, voice calls 35 percent, and remaining 35 percent spread somewhat evenly amongst remaining series that have to run in the background.
Unfortunately though, I haven't got enough experience with the original DZ battery, to give you a comparison.... remember I used it only for a day or two, when I was still getting used to the whole new world of android and DZ

Does anyone have experience with the 1800mAh Mugen battery from the TP2 in the DZ? I'm tempted to go for that assuming it fits...?

How's battery life?

How's everyone's battery life with real world usage? I've been looking into this tablet because of the low price and nice hardware specs.

I can usually get 1 full day of normal constant use out of mine.

Yeah. Usually you wont need a charge till next day.

Min of 10-12 hours, probably more, on my stock unit

Battery Life Decent
I've been getting a full day plus although at work I turn off the wifi (can't connect to corporate network) but have it on most of the evening. Mainly playing "Angry Birds" and surfing the net while working on other things. Much better than the Maylong M-150 and Sylvania MID7 that I tried out before paying more for a more powerful tablet and battery. I bought the wife a NookColor and I am hoping the battery there will be as good (Christmas gift that hasn't been opened yet; screen view angle is definitely better).

the battery is ridiculous... you know how you are when you get a new toy? The first day I was on and off ALL day only to have 45% after it being unplugged 12 hours. I also took a 3 hour flight, watched a movie and still had 87% left.
I truly believe that the 8-10 hours advertises is legitimate which is hard to come by now a days. I am extremely impressed.

My battery life is awful!

So I'm enjoying my overall experience with my Sensation but it's really not cutting it in the battery department. I've upgraded from the G1 and the battery life isn't any better. The G1 was great for a while but after being 2+ years old the battery would barely last a full day with minimal usage and every setting off, I could no longer take it. It became so frustrating I had to upgrade for mostly that reason, not to mention the lack of features, and the fact I've had the phone since launch lol. Needless to say, I feel like I'm having the same battery issues as before. For instance I took the phone off the charger this morning and started reading some post here on XDA via the app and after 1 hour and 36 minutes my battery life went from 100% to 67%. I love the phone and while yes battery life is important to me I almost refuse to handicap my phones full potential for it. What should I do?

Search here and in the Q/A forum about getting better battery life and what to expect out of your battery. There are a ton of discussions already with a lot of helpful information for you.
Remember if your device is new... it takes a number of discharge/recharge cycles before your battery gets good life.

plenty of battery threads already.. 1:36 with a 33% battery drain would extrapolate to >4.5 hours of display-ON time. Most ppl consider that pretty (or even VERY) good. If you are going to play the "won't handicap" card so soon, probably no hope for you except get some other phone for which it is easier to get a monster/fat battery.
I came from a G1 as well. I think battery life is MUCH better on the Sensation.

The only way to get through a whole day of moderate-heavy use with this phone (and most Android phones) without crippling it is to carry a spare battery or plug in the phone throughout the day when near AC power... Sad but true..

7 hours of screen on time? That's not possible with this phone.

According to these benchmarks, the Sensation battery is 97% of the Verizon iPhone 4 (the only Iphone variant which had data for comparison)

I'm with you. I can get 8 hours out of the phone if I only have 2 hours of on screen time. My average, with medium to heavy use, is 6 hours and change with 3 - 3 1/2 hours on screen time. And this is with the screen brightness down to 75%. There is no way there is 7 hours straight of on screen time with this thing IMO and from experience.
NOTE: I am piggy backing, but i am not sure if the person is referring to 7 hours on screen time or 7 hours in general.

I'm pasting a post I posted in another thread about my battery life:
Ok... I have a total of 3 OEM batteries. One that came with my phone and 2 other spares. The one that came with my phone is about 3 weeks old, My newest one is only 3 days old and the middle child one is about a week and a half old. I basically charge them fully then wait until it drains fully and turns off before switching the batteries.
Someone said that after a while battery life gets better. I am proof of that. When I first got my phone I was lucky if it lasted 8 hours and amazed if it lasted 10! Last night my 3 week old battery lasted over 14 hours with moderate use! The middle battery that's a week and a half old lasts about 10 with moderate use (same like the first, only getting about 8 in the beginning) The newest one (still going through the 5 charge conditioning cycle) only lasts about 6-7 hours tops.
I dont know if it helps(or hurts) but since I always have an extra battery with me I never half charge them(especially during the first 5 or 6 charges). I always will let it drain then switch

I moved from the HTC Evo 4G and batterylife is much much better with the sensation. Light to moderate use after a 12 hour day i have between 20 and 40 % left. I ordered 4 extra batteries and xtra chargers so i would have extra full batteries at home and at work but i havent needed them. I was so used to the evo that i wish i would've waited on ordering all the batteries... I just assumed it would be about the same...Way better than the evo though. I have friendstream (twitter and facebook) syncing every 3 hours, weather 3 hours and at unlock, mail/calender syncing.( no news, no tell htc, no android backup) i was amazingly surprised. yay sensation!

I have specifically held off from getting another battery cuz I wanted the original one to settle. Now that I have a decent idea of the life span I will look into a new one. I am not sure if I want to by the off brand 1800 one every is talking about or get raked over the coals for an HTC one. decisions...

here's what I've found after having the Sensation since day one. If you are at 2.5 hours of screen on time in the battery stats, chances are your battery is below 30%, and most likely below 20%, no matter what you were doing with the phone (barring constant video playback). I average about 2-3 hours of display on time each day, and I get about 14-16 hours consistently. I sync gmail, email and facebook, pulse and weather auto update. I use wifi and wifi calling constantly.
I set my screen brightness to about 40%, give or take.
I can live with this as it gets me from 5am when I go to work until when I go to bed, which is really all I expect.
I will look into the evo 3d battery though, as that seems like a logical replacement given its higher capacity and compatibility with the Sensation.

Massive battery drain with heavy use!

Before I start, I'm actually fairly happy with the battery life on the sensation. Today it's been off the charger for about 4 hours and I'm still at 97% with little use and some light browsing. So for general such as idle and browsing, it isn't bad.
I have noticed, however, that the battery life sucks when doing intensive things, such as gaming. I lose easily over 30% an hour when watching videos or playing games. The other day I was sitting through a boring meeting, so I played a tower defense game I had. I had about 60% battery life when I started and my phone died in about an hour and a half. My screen brightness was a bit higher than it should have been, but it wasn't full.
I understand it will drain a ton with heavy use, but 60% in less than 2 hours is insane. I took a 25 minute car drive with navigation and my battery dropped over 20%. That's just crazy.
Has anybody else experienced this? What percent/hour do you lose when gaming? It basically means I can't do much gaming or I'm at risk of my phone dying before the day is done.

Bro, what u think gone happen gaming for an hr, with its big screen on that long? Nothing u said I find abnormal from my experience with this phone, are my last 4 phones. Heavy use = drain

Yeah, I realize that it's gonna drain a lot with gaming. At the same time, I don't think 40% an hour is something to be expected. I'm hoping it was just a weird battery cycle.

yeah, i played plants vs zombies and the battery died real fast. However cut the rope doesnt drain the battery that bad. Depends on game but most phones have poor battery life when you do intense stuff.
the nintendo 3ds has a much bigger battery and also has a poor battery life. Battery technology is crap.

...batteries drain faster under heavier loads bro.

Duh!

My stock battery its wank, easily lose 30% an hour on angry birds but I bought an anker 1900mA from Amazon and after taking it off charge this morning at half 7 I've still got 26% left as I write this, nearly 16 hours later.

Have you tried one of the Aftermarket batteries? I have the Anker and it's safe to say that it does last longer than the stock HTC battery for me.

This thread is kinda funny. You know i just realized? that when i dont eat, i get hungry. Also when i drive like a maniac I use a lot more gas. Another thing new to me concerning batteries, and its on topic because we're talking batteries.... I left my flashlight on this morning and now its dead. Normally when i don't use it it can go weeks without charging.. But please dont leave the light on, it causes massive battery drain!! 1 more thing.. When i'm nice and helpful i get "thanks".

Haha, joke all you want, but coming from the G2X I couldn't kill 60% of the battery in 1.5 hours if I tried.
Go ahead and defend the device all you want, but something about this device destroys the battery more than normal when the screen is burning and the processors are burning.

I agree. This phone has much better standby and general battery life compared to my vibrant, but I have noticed that the gps really burns through battery, moreso than the vibrant.

I actually am really liking the battery life on my sensation, just was in a joking mood. Coming from the EVO 4g i get twice as long with my S4G. Think about it though, you have a 1.2,3,4,5,6,7,or 1.8ghz cpu, depending on Overclock or not, Massive screen resolution, awesome game graphics that take every bit of the CPU/GPU to run them. And it's All running from a tiny ass battery. Look at laptops... If you play a system taxing game for an hour your battery will be toast, and that battery is a lot bigger. I think for what it is, It does a good job.

Battery too weak?

Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?

I had the same problem when I first got my Sensation. Mine was used, so the battery was already a year old, but the phone was mint. I had the same terrible drain as you have, and I hardly used mine during the day. I rooted it and tried a few ROM's, and found that so far, anything based on Bruce's CM10 gives the best battery life. Will defiantly be try the Viper ROM today though.
If you don't want to root, I would pick up one of these:

I'm going to be trying one out myself.

I bought mine used too, it was used for 8 months, ill try to purchase an anker then... Thanks!

Hi I had same issue, tried Anker it was a good battery but I still needed more juice . I went to Mugen 3800mah battery. Now with HEAVY use I get more than 24 hours use out of one charge! I can't stress enough what a difference this battery has made for me! Yes it is expensive but for me it was worth every cent! I am a heavy user of my device and rely on it for everything from navigation to internet to gaming. This is a serious battery , it solved all my battery drain issues ! One thing through, it does make you're device a bit thicker but it still fits in pocket and feels good in my hand. For me, battery life is what I'm after so I don't at all mind the thicker phone I'm not in a beauty contest, I wanted results! This battery delivers. If your a moderate user you might not need so much juice but if you're a heavy user like I am this battery is the answer! It will not disappoint! If you find Anker is not providing enough juice and want more time on battery, do consider Mugen 3800mah. You won't worry about running out of battery Again! This battery with HEAVY use will still be on 100% two hours later!! My biggest issue was battery drain and this battery solved that problem for me. Like I mentioned its not for everyone because it will make device thicker but if you're serious about battery life it's the way to go! So depending on your use this might be an other option for you. If you use your device heavily, I highly recommend this battery. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tip... I'm not such a heavy user of my phone but atm its still unbealiveable short on it's life. If i would take it out of the charger at 100% and play 1 and a half hour it will get to 1%...

Have you gave Anker a try? Most people here really like Anker and its given great extended battery. It's very affordable and I think it would be a wonderful solution to your issue.battery will make a big difference. You will see. My stock battery was absolutely pathetic. After I switched it was like night And day a huge difference! I believe Anker is only about 10 to 15 dollars and you won't regret switching. This is one solution to your issue. Best wishes. You can also try changing kernels and see if that helps but I think a Anker battery will really help in your situation.

Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?

Just thought I'd put my two cents in...
Whilst a higher capacity battery will help to some extent, IMHO it's like buying a bigger hose instead of fixing the hole in the bucket.
To clarify, I do actually own an Anker 1900mAh battery as well as the stock battery, but only because it was cheap and I was interested to see how much difference it made. I switch between the two on a regular basis. I can't deny the Anker certainly has a better cycle length than stock, but as I was already achieving well in excess of a full day's use on stock battery the benefit to me was negligible.
Another clarification, I'm not one of those people who will refuse to use their phone all day and then crow about their "amazing" battery life. You buy a smartphone because you want to use it. Mine is a work phone and as such is well used every day, making/receiving calls and texts, camera shots, VPN access etc. Then there's my personal use, web browsing, eBay, bluetooth audio every time I get in the car or work truck, e-books, games and so on. Not to labour the point but the phone comes off the charger at 6 am every work day and always has some life left when it goes back on the charger at 10 or 11 pm.
I guess, partly because of what I do for a job, I'm not a fan of "bigger hammer" solutions. There is a wealth of information here on XDA and you can greatly increase your battery life and cost you nothing but a bit of time spent reading. For a start I'd suggest looking into Battery Monitor Widget and/or Better Battery Stats (this thread).
I don't know if you're rooted or not, there are huge gains to be made with rooting and the possibilities that come with that. However, my wife's completely stock One S had absolutely atrocious battery life out of the box, and of course no possibility of increasing battery capacity, but with a few tweaks and better understanding she can still get a day's use out of her phone.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I see a lot of "get a bigger battery" responses to these questions when there are other options you can explore
