Cycled 3 times now and the first day with moderate use I went about 8-9 hours. It was awesome. Now that I'm using it a little heavier and will actually be using it quite heavily with data, gps, browsing, phone calls etc. I am noticing maybe that really isn't enough... I need like 12 hours or more like I hear some people are getting...
So I ask you XDA, what is THE BEST way for me to achieve super long battery life with heavy use. I'm already using SetCPU (settings below)
2100 maH battery? (Will this even be a huge difference from our current battery? I don't know what our stock battery maH is..)
3800 maH battery? (If this ends up being the best solution...I need a good case to support it and these usually don't have those...)
A way to turn off LTE?
...any other way to get 12+ hours out of my phone with heavy usage? I'm never in the car long enough or at a desk long enough some days to be able to plug my phone in and charge...
Also, I've searched and searched and can't find anything other than "The LTE is still on even if you use X ROM, or turn X settings off, or install X kernel/radio." Is there any new update on how to turn off LTE on the Skyrocket when rooted?

Please help. I NEED to find a way to do this. I'm a network technician and having no access to phone calls and emails is tough. Also my family and loved ones after the work day and I'm still out doing errands for another 4 or so hours and my phone is 0% dead isn't a good thing.
*Note: If the 2100maH battery takes the stock back plate and it can give me what I'm asking for I would PREFER it. I have an Otterbox case I dropped $50 + SH on and I'd like to keep using it....

I found a 2250maH Battery on ebay.. MFG is Andida. $13 shipped. Fits in the stock battery location with the stock cover. I have an OtterBox case. All is well! Worth the 7 day wait!

Thank you Hemi! Is Andida a good brand or something? Or are you just letting me know so I can find it? Just curious. How has the life been? I had an Atrix before the SkyRocket and I know a MAJOR issue with that phone was anything above stock that was breaking the 2000maH mark WOULD NOT register in the battery's true %. No matter what cycling, "fixes", battery stat resets etc. that you did. Does the battery on here show you the actual stats? Would this battery last long enough to meet my needs? 12 hour day with heavy usage?
Sorry for the question bombardment...but if this will really answer my needs which I really need answered ASAP, I will drop the $ for this immediately.

How do you UV?
Also, what do you guys who've under clocked found as a good clock to keep it at? 1.5ghz is REALLY high IMO and I normally have it cap around 1.2ghz...anyone found a good clock to run around and it still be snappy and smooth?
Also..how do the guys with stock batteries get those 12 hour times? Is it just moderate usage? Will the 2100mah or 2200mah batteries give me what I want? 12 hours high usage? Or do I need to go with the 3800mah seidos I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on...?

Can't help with the battery, but I run 1080 max 192 min, battery is more or less same as 1500 max for me. I get 4hrs screen on time, maybe 3.5 if there's above average voice use. This is with data on the whole time. I've found my battery is just about completely dependent on screen time, minus some expected drain over the course of hours but that's very minimal.

In my experience the Extended Samsung Nexus battery is a better solution than the Andida.

The battery and mfg is the only one I found that was a 2500maH. It was the largest I found that kept everything I wanted (stock battery, cover, etc). There might be another CO that makes one, but this is what I've found. Two weeks and running. It charges the first 65% like a banshee, then slows down for the remainder.
It's worked well for me, extending my day and making life easier. It really doesn't take any longer to fully charge than the stock one did, just longer life throughout the day.
Hope this helps.
You thought about getting external mobile charger or just spare batteries? you charge everything when you got the time and then just swap around when needed.
have i got a solution for you my friend...
I'm testing a set of tweaks i made for my old phone which is working well. These tweaks provide excellent battery life and incredible performance gains.
Just to give you a quick snapshot, I'm at 22+ hours uptime @ 28% under moderate use. I'm not oc/uv either, and i am on official aokp Rom.
I plan to have it finalized by Sunday as long as my normal life duties don't interfere...

I am the exact same way with my skyrocket, heavy use for work and need at least 12hrs+ battery. So after much research, Looking at extra batteries to carry around or the tweak/root/rom method, which is way more convenient then carrying around batteries all the time.
I rooted my device, put SKYICS on it, and tweaked the CPU and UV, and now I'm using my phone heavy and at hour 12 i'm at 39%, so happy now with this phone now. It does me. Give it a try, believe me you wont be disappointed.

Hi all !
I'm looking for a battery saving ROM that works on Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G , Cyanogenmod 9 is not working as fabulously as everyone is saying , it suck up about 1% for every 3 minutes on a average apps like Wordweb , Oxford dictionairy or Longman Dictionairy while on 300 Ghz min and 800 Ghz max and on powersave stratégie , that's even worse than the Official ICS and that's very disappoiting , i flashed CM9 like 3 times ! when i just do it , the apps sucks like 1% for every 10 minutes and that's at a low battery level (15% or 20%) but when i shut the phone and i fully charge it , the apps suck up 1% for every 3 minutes .... i don't know what's the problem !
So do you know any other Custom Roms that could get my life Battery extended ( i m wishing to get this up to 1% for Every 9-10 minutes ) ?
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.
Before you say stuff like "Backlight intensity, environmental temperatures, and how much is going on on the tablet being used" please allow me to properly explain the question.
Im trying to help a friend in purchasing a tablet. Im trying to get a comparison of the available options and their specs. Im narrowing down on key features, one of which being battery life. As a baseline, Im comparing to the batteries of the devices I have and my dad has.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Battery: 8,220 mAh. Video Play time: 10 Hrs
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Battery: 4,600 mAh. Video Play Time: 8 Hrs
This is where I get confused
Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Battery: 5.3 Volt, Lithium Ion, 4800 mAh. Video Play Time: 12 Hrs.
Now the only difference I see between the batteries for our two devices and the new Tab Pro 8.4 is the mention or "5.3 Volt".
Yet despite it only being 4,800 mAh, it gets two more hours worth of capable max video play time the the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) which has almost twice the battery capacity.
Does anyone know what scale the "Video Play Time" is used in general device specs? Is the "5.3 Volt" what is making the difference? if so, what does that make the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) or the Note 8.0? I need to know what to compare to.
Hey Guys has anyone has tried to use ba 950 2300 mAh battery(xperia zr) instead of xperia l battery ba 900 1700 mAh. Both the batteries have almost same dimension..And if any member can guide any downside in doing it?..... If this works we xperia l users will have 2300 mAh
impossible

I have a htc one S (since 2012) with cyanogenmod and after 13 hours and 1.5 (!) hours of screen time, my phone is done for.
I already have bought a second battery and watched some youtube video on how to replace.
Still I do not know if I really should take the risk. Am i chasing ghosts and shadows or do I have a good chance of improving the power circle of my device?
Some betterbatterystats which seem to be fine (software-side) as far as i can judge:

Your battery is performing as it should given its age. Mine is the same and I bought my ville same year. Theoretically the battery life should improve after changing it, if you bought a genuine one not a crap chinese cheap one.

Unfortunately i could only get hands on one made in China. (OEM HTC One S Z520e Akku BJ40100 - 1650mAh — not allowed to post links: apfelkiste.ch/andere-hersteller/htc-zubehor/htc-ersatzteile/htc-one-s-akku-oem-bj40100-1650mah.html)
I could not find a genuine one although I tried to search for one; located in Switzerland.
Btw I have read on this forum about implementing a 2100 mh designed for HTC X+ into HTC One S. Is that possible and worth it?

Unfortunately as far as I can tell people have successfully replaced the battery in this phone with the higher capacity ones from the one x and one x plus, only to find out that those batteries need kernel implementation to make them fully usable. As in, their phone still thinks its the stock battery and will die but then they can turn it back on because their is still unused juice in the battery. (please correct me if im wrong about this)

Yes, you're right. To take advantage of a higher capacity battery, you'll need kernel support. Of course, having a new battery will perform better and last longer than your used one but it'll not use it's entire capacity as on an One X/X+
