With the right kernel you can get even 3 days of battery life. This with the EU version, 4g might drain a bit more juice.

Phones without removable batteries?

As I'm due for an upgrade soon I'm researching upcoming options. I'm really liking the idea of the HTC One X... however, it doesn't have a removable battery. With as many times as I've bricked my captivate, I don't know how I would have fixed it without being able to remove the battery
One of the reasons I don't want an iPhone is for that very reason, I hate being limited to one battery or not being able to pop it out if needed.
You guys think there's any real reason for concern? It seems more phones are coming out this way, it makes for a more attractive, maybe even sturdy, design... but I don't know if I care that much

There is no way I'd go with a non-removable battery on android. It's just not stable enough.

dislike non-removable-battery phones. what should we do if those phones need restarting because of stopping working

Phones like that have hard key resets. Actually even those with removable batts have hard resets with the right button press. The main issue with a non-removable battery besides resets is if it just doesn't have enough capacity cause then you're just in the dead zone =p

You would think that they would at least include better battery. Razr maxx have 3300mah and it is not much more bulkier, so I think at least 2000mah should not be very hard to achieve.

I hope that new generations of phones, some are made ​​up mainly by the reset button and easy ability to change the battery with a more powerful even at peak performance, 3g and wifi internet apps.

this wasn't, strictly speaking, a question, it was a starting point for discussion

Removable Battery
From my limited experiance an Android phone with a non-removable battery wouldn't be for me. If you want to experiment with roms and kernels, pulling the battery is a must. Also it's hard to put in a higher amp battery or install a replacement.

Aside from disagreeing with it not being stable why not have an android with non removable battery when there's always the hard reset with power button.

I know the iphone has a feature that if it freezes, you hold the home and sleep button until it turns off (this was present in the original and iphone 3g as far as i know). That simulates a battery pull. But if i was thinking of buying a new android phone and its battery didn't pop out, it would be a deal breaker.

on the lookout for a new high end android device

HI all.
finally ready to throw my old One X in the bin after trying 10 different Roms and 100 different tips on how to save the battery life etc as the battery life is just down right shocking.
i get between 6-7hours ONLY if i use the phone to read emails(syncing 4 gmail accounts with one of them i get email quit frequently, tweetcaster and tapatalk as well.), and only get maybe 30-40mins screen time only.
It is pathetic so i am looking to upgrade now.
I am leaning towards either a S4 and a One but i am favouring the S4 as it has interchangable batteries so that if my s4 battery dies i can carry spares. It also has expandable memory which the One doesnt .
Which device has better battery life?

Please post in these stickies that are a couple of threads above the one you started:

Polarcell battery?

I am running an unofficial CM 10.1 ROM on my DHD and with 'slight' use I can probably get a full day out of the battery. Prior to the CM 10.1 ROM I was running a custom rooted ROM based on the final official android 2.3 ROM from HTC and I remember the battery lasting much longer (over 12-months ago). I won't be moving back to Gingerbread but want to improve my battery life and have seen good reports of the PolarCell batteries

Has anyone replaced their stock battery with one of these? Any comments?
Andy

Would be interested in knowing this also. Dont suppose you took the plunge and bought one?

Hi guys
I would be interested too on this question, or another battery brand.
Only want that someone with experience tell us if possible which battery and what brand/model is the best nowadays to buy to our great Desire HD?
And if you can post the link where to buy and maybe some buyer reviews, would be wonderfully.
Because are too many "Fake" vendors nowadays.
But for some questions that I asked to other few members and one recognized developer, they said that one of best batteries are:
First - Oem
Second - Mugen
Third - Anker
....
That PolarCell I never heard do not know =S
Cheers

I guess dhd battery is a pain in the a** for everybody, I suggest you to go for sensation xe, evo 3d type batteries. There are plenty of ways to do it (with battery door or without) I was personally using without battery door because I was already using silicon cover for all phone. Btw you need to apply a small copper wire for external wireless antenna which is already built-in with your original battery door. Search for thread in this section you will find Evo3d battery thread. I have changed to HOX but still my wife is using my beloved DHD with 1950mah Mugen. Believe me it gives equal amount of satisfaction for this money. If you don't want to spend that amount, go for original Amaze 4g battery (which has the highest capacity when compare with evo 3d if I don't remember wrong) still you will be satisfied with battery life.
Please don't ask me, which rom am I using or how is battery life. It depends on people and how they are using.
I can give several examples, heavy usage with all the time 3g, bluetooth, mail sync, whatsapp, viber, browsing, auto brightness but no games and no wireless: it will handle 1.5 day.
or
Moderate usage, all the time mobile network on, a bit whatsapp, several regular calls, a bit browsing, no gaming and wireless off. My wife can easily manage for 2.5 days.
One more thing, if you will have 1950 mugen, your battery will stuck at %15, don't panic it will stay there for at least several hours (according to your usage ofc). Its some kind of a bug. I don't know if somebody found a solution.
I hope, my reply will enlighten you a bit Cheers!

Been using a Polarcell since october 2012 from the manufacturer CellePhone: (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004I227RK)
New, it lasts the same as the original for me, that means about 3 hours of screen on with about the 70% of the total battery time, automatic brightness but mainly outdoors, so I bet that the auto brightness is actually full brightness the most part of the time, using 3G and no "data sync demanding apps running in background" except whatsapp and the usual google services.
I use to charge the battery every night while I sleep and even though I'm aware that overcharging a long time is harmful I use to let it charge until I wake the next morning.
With this usage schema, I'm facing today a 20% loss approximately, because the battery skips from 80% to 100% when charging.
So is more than a year of usage, around 400 charge cycles, and for 10€ is a good investment for me.
Being from a german company inspires more confidence than chinese clones.
Hope this helps to all of you folks!

A friend of mine picked one up and he had nothing but good things to say. I'll update this post once he replies to my text for exact details!

Bought one a few days ago from http://www.ebay.de/usr/wannsee-electronic (Germany).
The one i bought is for HTC Sensation, sold as 1800 mAh. To fit in DHD i remove the "film" and im surprising to see that on the aluminiumcase of the accu is written 1700 mAh.
Contact the merchant today and wait for an answer. So I didn't know it depends on Polarcell or the reseller...

I just got one myself for Desire S, it is a 1600mAh battery. Been using it for 3 days and I'm quite satisfied with this product.. I also bought one Anker battery for Desire HD....
I can't really compare those cuz its on a different device and different ROM. But I feel that both are doing fine for now..... You can give it a try.
Btw, Anker battery comes with full package, it comes with a box and manual.... The polarcell that I received just comes with a battery with no box, nothing else..
Maybe I would suggest you to get Anker.

Don't forget to use Battery Monitor Widget to see if its actualy a good battery.

I got one today for my old DHD.After couple days of usage I'll post and my opinions.

I'm very satisfy from this battery.After couple charges for 12 hours each now my battery seems very stable. I'm running 30 hours and more with enabled 3g all the time.30-40 minutes calls including viber and 2 hours and a half display on.I think that this is a very gods result for this product.....cost 13€ .

I have some questions before buying

Hello,
I currently I own an Alcatel One touch 995 With CM10.2 and these last few weeks there has been lots of phones coming up for such little price and all with identical specs, being Moto G the best IMO as the screen isn't that big nor too small But what I'm concerned at is the Battery itself in long term.
Are there, currently, any ways to change the battery even if you have to take a part the phone ? Would that be the only option at the moment? I ask this because the two previous phones I had, had battery issues after about 1,5 years.
Another thing, how much would you think a battery would last only for Texting, 2-3 calls a day, browsing and about of 1 hour of gaming(not intensive games). According to the posts in another thread you get arround 2 days of battery ?
And finally, if I buy the 16gb version how much storage would I have? Considering the 8gb it comes with 5gb usable, I presume you would have arround 12-13GB?
Any answers on this topic would be appreciated.

Do you have any source, plus where could the battery be bought? I've been searching the forums but only external battery packs.
As long as I get longer than and the batter can be replaced I'm happy:
note: Battery is new This is the first recharge
