Just ordered a desire battery off of Amazon for $8... (after taxes and shipping)... feels like I'm getting scammed:
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0073YRYKU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I guess it's a bit too late now.. but is this legitimate?
how are your experiences?
The battery is not bad. It can last a good 15 hours ish. Since I didn't calibrate it, it could be longer. (I see it jumps up fairly often). For its price its excellent
Which rom are you using?
I'm getting through a complete day without any problems (except I've been gaming a lot xD ) using a Sense 3.5 Gingerbread Rom (Runnymede AIO 6.1.1 Special_Edition).
Does this battery last longer than your old one?

Cm7.
This battery is not as good as the old one, but again, its a second battery that i can swap with and its cheap. Though it takes a long time to go from 30% to 20% on tthis battery like twice it takes from 40-30... probably not calibrated.
I gather the problem with these cheap batteries is they loose capacity after a few months
Still going strong. I should really wipe battery state as my battery just goes up and down at ~26%. Though in afraid it might mess up my stock battery's reporting...

Thanks for the review. Might be something to check out for.
Just got mine today. From ioomobile. They've got it on sale for $17 + free shipping (on their website) or $19 from eBay.
See how it runs over the next few days. Usually get around 35 hours (light/minimal use) or so on miui 1.7.8 on stock battery.
I'll post back after a day or two and report if it's any better.

35 hours on miui, holy ****.
I had to go back to cm7 because miui drained 2xs as fast
Edit
I just bought one, I had great success with my extended momax batter but it was just too bulky for me

If you've got the battery drain on 1.7.8 here's the fix (install as a regular app and restart)
Hope it helps. Worked for me, had terrible drain before the fix.

for a stock fit this would be the best, if you want a larger battery with back then I would recommend their 2700
I've received my 1700 momax battery last week and it's very good!
2 days with medium usage and CM7
Could someone pls do a real test? white screen, max brightness screen on time till shutdown compariaon would be great. everything else ia just not really compareable.
I've had my Momax 1700 mah battery for about 3 weeks now and it's performing well. I have a noticable increase in battery life, deffinitely more than a day, up to almost two days depending on usage.
I'm not a heavy user, main usage would be a few calls, internet and bit of video/movie viewing a day.
I'm on Juwe's 5.3 ROM with a Semaphore 1.5/1.6 kernel. Am also just trying the latest GalaxianGT kernel and seem to be getting similar battery life.
"1e charge about 8 hours from full then drain thil empty"
what do you mean? a full battery then charge it again 8 hours? or charge it with external device? i dont understand. the rest makes sense but this is....
Got this battery from ebay (ioomobile user). I have it in my possession for one week now. It went through 3 full charge/discharge patterns and the beefed capacity is getting noticeable now. I'm easily getting 2 days out of my phone (~36 hours) compared to ~24 I was getting with the one year old original battery. I'm actually using my phone daily for music - emails - web browsing having the display on for about 3 hours/day.
I highly recommend this battery nor necessarily to the recent SGS owners but more to the ones having these gadgets for about one year .

Just ordered one from that seller, will write a short review when it arrives. Original battery after a year of moderate use is lasting 2 days for me with OC to 1,2GHz and UV.
I badly need a stable rom with CM7 features, which has a battery life of atleast 24 hours. Oxygen was really nice and fast but i missed the CM7 lockscreen gestures.
For the past week i have been using NSCollab. Really love the rom, Fast and exceptionally stable. Set cpu governor on "Smartass" My data is always turned on so the battery drain was quite high ( Check the screenshot). So after a full day of college, came back home in the evening and battery was 9%. . I play games, send texts and call usage is like 1-1.5 hours a day.
Any suggestions on which rom i should try now?. Is Cm7 good?
Also, has anyone tried a different kernel for NSCollab?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using my new Nx-S just for the few days, but i choosed before MIUI ROM from Brainmaster and its very smooth, fast and stable.

I am using superosr
superosr seem to have cm7 stuff in it and its fast stable and good on battery life.
http ://cdn.movilzona.es/repos/supera...S-2.0.2-AW.zip version 2.0.6 is out today too but i have not check it yet.
i found that verson 2.0.6 was way to buggy for my useage but I am waiting for the next one to come out now . i heard they are working on 2.3.7 that doesnt have the camera bug
Buy an extra battery from Samsung. You won't have to worry about it anymore. At 560 INR, they're cheap! I picked up two. So now, I have one charging at home, and one fully charged in my back pocket. Bye bye battery worries! Hello heavy usage!
I dude that was one if then first things I did. I went on Ebay and found a kit two batteries and a wall charger with USB plug charge. For 24.99 I can't go wrong. Though the batteries are only 1440 mhn but with 3 batteries I get 24hr heavy usage out of my I phone. That with about.10hours of music and everything else from txt to calls and Web

Yep, people need to stop complaining about battery life and take advantage of the fact that Android phones have a replaceable battery. I can't recommend it enough! If you've paid a pretty penny for your device, shell out that tiny bit extra and make it so you can use it to it's full potential.

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

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

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.
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:

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!
Sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1,kernel- pyd X stable 3.1 , Mugen 3800 mah battery. Please press thanks if I helped in anyway.
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.

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
Hi Guys,
Got my phone in the second month after its release and have gone through n number of ROMS. Not sure if its that that has taken its toll or a bad ROM, but of late (since a month ago), my battery lasts about 1.5 hours if I switch on either 3G or Wifi. Turn them off and the phone runs fine ... maybe 8 plus hours ... maybe more, have not really checked.
Thinking it was a bad ROM, I went through many from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1 to 4.12 and 4.1 ... all with absolutely no change in battery life ... not even marginally.
Am thinking of getting the S4, but given that this one looks unblemished and as good as new, am thinking of getting a new battery and giving it to someone back home that would be pleased to have it.
Was therefore wondering ... could it be the phone or is it definitely the battery? Don't want to spend on a battery and end up with still having just about 1 hour of power.
Any input would be appreciated including what battery you'll think I should get. Are the original batteries still available for this phone or are we down to "the king is dead, long live the king"
Battery I think

I have stock 4.2.2 ROM and battery runs fine, so i think it's your battery. The best way to verify is to flash with last official ROM and kernel.
Or borrow a friends battery to test it.. Either way a complete wipe and flash to stock won't hurt to try.. If you have cwm wipe the battery data too..
I think its a battery problem
