Hey inspire owners, what do you think about the battery life?

I have read that battery life is horrible...what do you all think?

For the 24 hours plus I have had it, it is actually better than my Captivate was on any 2.2 ROM after proper recalibration, and at least on par with bone stock 2.1.1. I think HTC got it right with this one.

mine sucks so far. but im sure it needs to be "broken in" (here comes the debate about batteries not needing to be broken in)

Mine is decent, but then I plug it in the car charger as soon as i start driving so...

Mine is pretty decent as well... better than my Captivate was stock. The Inspire has a smaller battery as well (1230mAh I believe). So smaller battery with bettery battery life means HTC did something right to me

It's good so far. However, I got a 1600 mah from eBay and so far It's been great. I've been using it for 6 hours with constant use, full brightness and I still have more than half of battery left.

Link please?
My battery life has been pretty decent. Havent had a full day yet to test it out.

That batt still fit in the phone without any mods? And are they smoking crack? 105 for the batt? I'll stay with my current one

Uhm? I paid $4.58. That's strange.

It isn't great right now but in the coming weeks the battery life will get better.

would u say better or worse then the Droidx, or an iphone4?

I have never used an iPhone 4 or Evo long enough to give you battery life. As for the Evo, probably close to the same actually. You see, the main reason that the Evo got the 1500 may battery is because of WiMax 4G. Plus the Inspire has more efficient technology, including the second generation snapdragon processor and the more efficient version of Sense, version 2.0

I think the battery life is great. MUCH better than what the bad reviews said it was.
With smart use (concious of wifi toggle, brightness toggle, gps toggle, account syncs...) the phone will easily last over a day. I use my phone a lot too, and I can't kill it in the day. It requires a little more attention than the iPhone 4, but the trade offs are worth it.

Full charge this morning. maybe 1 hour of web/email. 15 minutes of calls and stand by the rest of the time and I am at 2/3 at 4pm.
Not good not bad. Clearly for really busy times it will need a charge or a second battery (which I am planning to get).

Really? LOL i dunno, if u go to that link, the price is outragous, maybe it was a mistake?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270665597794

I am guessing wrong price or a shill - are we sure the Desire HD battery will fit and function properly. If so why didnt HTC just use the 1500mA or 1600mA to start with?

It was actually $4.89. That's what I paid including shipping. I guess the seller got greedy. I copied that link from the confirmation email from eBay.

if anyone is willing to try, please let me know if they are rated correctly/safe.
i'm assuming they aren't.

I don't recommend buying any batteries online that claim to be replacements for the Inspire, but are much larger in mAh. They are likely fake, unsafe, or the same battery you have currently with a different mAh size that is untrue.

I pulled the phone off of the charger at 7:15 am this morning. I plugged into the computer to get a few songs on the phone and it charged for 10 - 15 mins.

2430MAH Battery to Increase Usage Time.

If you're like me and use your ChaCha all the time and can't help but notice it's incredibly poor lifetime. I have found a solution for you that does not require you to have a separate PowerBank.
Get this battery from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-H...084?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e66923a44
And Use My CamDroid 1.5 (Lightweight ROM). Updates available regularly to flash.
Enjoy, I have already tested the 2430MAH Battery from Japan with my ROM and it works like a dream.
TechMayhem

Very slim for a 2430MAH. Quite weird

Yeah I know, it seemed quite weired to me aswell but then they continue to say on other sites that it's a new type Japanese energy compressing technology??
It sounds out of the mobile world but it worked for me - give it try if you need the extra power. Free Shipping to UK Only.

Negative feedback for this guy relates mainly to these extra capacity batteries and how they are either worse than standard or just 1250 ones with a sticker on them.
Good luck, but I'm not going to be first to try it!
Sent from my Chacha

qbert456 i can assure the battery worked for me - if it didn't i would have posted a link saying why not to buy it immediately - but i took my time to test it.
I also checked the negative reviews and none of them are for the ChaCha - there all for different HTC's and I also checked the Positives, the guys sells thousands of products and has received more good feedback for batteries then bad all together.
Don't worry about a few cases that are not even for this phone, it is an amazingly awesome and provides an outburst of battery life.
Have you tried CamDroid 1.5?? I got a PM by someone saying it was not too bad afterall.

Would like to try new ROMs, but I like all the HTC Sense widgets, and this ROM is missing some of my most-used ones
Thx for the battery link. Cheers.

No problem and thanks for providing feedback

I'm using freakcha currently, will give yours a go either today or tomorrow tho.

I better have 2 batteries on me. Always one battery full in my wallet

couldn't you benchmark both batteries?
play a video loop on both and check the time it plays?
just to let us see how much improvement is there
this would be helping wouldn't it?
or jsut get circular battery indicator,
it shows, when it has been taken off the wall and what charge it had then./ how much is left.
this would be simply the best method without efforts i assume

My mate bought me this battery as I moaned up the pub about battery life.
As expected, based admittedly on only one day, its not as good as stock one so far, depleating at a quicker rate.
But this is by no means a long or scientific test!
Still for the money (free to me) can't complain, but 2340? Not likely it really is 2340 tbh , as expected.
Will report back with further use!
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using Tapatalk

I ordered this battery and finally got it yesterday. Charged it up, and after 12+ hours of background syncing, a few phone calls and texts, and some browsing, battery life is still at 90%! So far, I'm very impressed, and I hope that I can extend the battery life even further with additional charging.

You sure its not the placebo effect??
Mine , ordered from same seller, is not much different!
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using Tapatalk

You may be right. Less than one day's usage may not be too accurate. I'll give the new battery a month and report back my findings then!

How many days ?

how do you charge it? Isn't there any other way instead in phone. I want to use it as first battery and keep my original one in case this dies. Any suggestions?

what about the tests and findings? any updates on the battery's life?

I've ordered it and I'm waiting it. Will let you know when its here, and what the performance is.

i have just placed an order too... shall check back when it has arrived.
having said, it would be great if the dialer issue can be plugged. my phone seems to be quite afflicted by it.

as i know this battery need to have a 1st, 2nd & 3rd charge for 10hours for the battery to have good result. do not use external charger due to some external charger will stop charging once it's fully charged & just maintain at certain % like for 90% will charge again when it drop below that. not very sure cause i have yet try it xD

wow, ankr batteries... (must buy)!!!

hi guys,
I must say I'm very very very impressed with my aankr batteries I got from ebay.
with the stock battery, (lastest insertcoin rom)
battery would drain 7~8 % on light use.
bit better on cyanogen mod but prefer Sense over anything else.
got 2 ankrs yesterday
fully charged (first cycle)
battery drain is significantly better.
2% per hour on light use ( some music, podcasts, as before with the stock battery)
I think everyone should get one of these.

Already a thread...
Sent from my HTC Sensation

I am thinking of picking one up myself shortly as i now have my CPU running at 1.5GHz funny enough i have not noticed much of a drain battery life wise but still struggle with a full days use.

From Sensation Accessories Forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128568

srry it was an repost.
i was just too excited with the result.
8-4pm i have about 40%left
(with stock battery it went down to 15~20%)
since it's my first charge, it will only get better
Thanks and srry again for repost.

I think the anker batteries are the best thing to happen to the sensation, besides cm7 lol. But with the anker battery I can get 20 hours on a single charge, no BS, I have the screen shots, just don't know how to attach them in XDA app
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

You can get way over 20 hours. I've had 30+ out of it loads of times. (with fairly light use obviously)
Sent from my brain

yeah I can.vouch for that ....I just got it nd just flashed the messy rom aosp rom and first charge lasted over 20 hours I'm on second cycle now and I'm over 23 hours and I believe at 35 % left ......not even using special kernel ....but I'm gona install new faux kernel and I'm hoping to get Even better life .....

remember boys, to go through 4-5 charge/discharge cycles, like recommended by the instruction manual. it gets better after that.

Evo3d battery for UK sensation users

yesterday i came accross this website call Mobilefun.com
and i seen the evo3d battery which i know works in sensation.
since i was thinking of getting a original htc battery for my htc sensation.
i thought this might be a great deal because the battery was on for £22 including post.
but the thing that suprised me that i ordered the battery yesterday around 11 in the morning and i recieved the battery at 12.
here is some picture of the box and packaging.
i made this thread so anyone is looking for htc evo3d batteryu for thier senation and dont want to pay £32. then i suggest you order your battery from this website beside the delivery is very quick.
some picture of the box and accessories i recieved today.
and try this rebate code and you will get a free mobile cleaning cloth
PROMOCLOTH.

is that battery better?

no just because i got the battery the battery isn't fully optimized but yesterday i fully charged my battery than i took it off from charger and turned the brightness fully up, turn the wifi, gps, bluetooth on and start playing shadowgun and my battery lasted nearly 3 hours
the real time was 2hour 39 min
wheras my orighinal htc optimize battery lasts me
1hour 55min

my normal usage on original battery is 14-15 hours. but after 5-8 full charge and fully killing the battery i will let you know my normal usage.

hm..
On my standard battery (1520 mah) it's working about 9-12 hours. Today I will buy evo3d battery.
Do you think it can work 20 hours after charging on this battery?
But I think this is gut idea to buy this battery, isn't it?

Sorry for the confusion

Really tempted to get this as it seems an awesome price for an official battery with higher capacity...weirdly it looks a completely different shape on the website:
Sensation battery:

Evo3D battery:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-ba-s590-evo-3d-battery-p29981.htm
But in your pictures it does look the same shape as the Sensation one, are the websites photos just messed up?

anker battery claims that they have 1900mah of power but nobody know what's the real mah. beside htc 1730mah is guaranteed 1730. because they cannot advertise wrong but since anker is 3rd party you can be guaranteed with them. beside i would rather buy a offical htc battery rather then 3rd because you can guarnteeill work
but that was my point of view but if you think anker is better than legit company batteries than go with it. because its up to you to decide what to choose.

I get evo3d batterie
Today I get my evo3d batterie. It's a little bit bigger, but it's working great on sensation I starting tasting it and after week I write is it worth to buy it
I also buy 32gb sd card for it, so I will have a lot of fun:d

hm, strange but batterie works same as original in sensation... any suggestions why?

2800mAh aoonen battery

Just got this battery today ordered it from fleebay few weeks ago, guna see how it goes, 1 thing is do you think the mAh is right was only £5 plus pnp so no big loss if its not better than the stock which I'm getting about 12 hours out of with moderate use
Posted From XDA Premium App

really curious on how that battery is going to perform. please keep us posted!

Will do, who wants to share their knowledge on the 2800mAh as I think it may be bull here a pic of box
Posted From XDA Premium App Using Super Charged HTC Sensation 4G With ARHD 4.1.10
EDIT: also should i discharge to 4-5% for first charge as its nearly fully charged

I agree please keep us posted… Thanks !

*Looks* like it may hold about as much as an Anker.
If it fits under the stock back cover............

There's no way that's a 2800mah battery. Do a couple test and see what the deal is, but it is definitely somewhere around 1500-1800mah.

works really good i bought it over on ebay it does wat it says for real i get through the whole day without a prob with modrate use aday and couple of hours i had the package where i get 2 batt which really is a great deal for 15$ better way bettter then stock batt i recommend iit to all fellow xda and ppl that looking at this post to buy it but be sure it have 2 batt and wall charger its rally handy product rating from me 4.5 out 5

Well it about the same size as the stock feels bit heavier to me
