*Blank - Turning this into a review for the cheap one I got on Ebay*
I found this one and ordered it : http://www.ebay.com/itm/251065892927
for 9$ I'm willing to give it a try (and even though it may be the exact same one from a chinese seller, I prefer to have it ship from a US location).
Won't be able to actually try it til it gets here.
Have you received/tested the battery? Interested in getting one as well

Yea I received it a week ago, I like it so far (do note this isn't the same one as the BLACK 3600 I mentioned in my first post, but rather the 9$ 3500mah one from ebay).
The battery door you can tell is cheap when you get it, however I've gotten use to it fast, the slightly rubberized texture is a nice feel for me and seems to fit better in my hands now.
After about 2, 3 days of charge up, drain down, charge up it seems to be nicely consistent now in the power usage can easily get a couple of days out of it before needing a charge (mostly on account of both my SetCPU profile and undervolting table).
Basically once fully charged it could take about 1.5-2 hours before it would end up showing 99% on stuff like Google Music, email, Facebook, etc.
A battery screenshot back when I was doing a bit of music and background notifications (fb, email, twitter, Skype, etc logged in and notifying around 10-15 minute mark), screen not on as often, but I don't usually have my screen on all that often especially as I don't normally sit thru a game that long.
Charges pretty fast at least.

I don't remember 100% what I did at what specific time frame, but I know from 42% to 36% I was watching an Episode of Heroes so bout 40ish minutes of netflix there.

99% after ten hours. Went out of the country and didn't have to charge once. You want to save juice? Just put the phone in airplane mode.
i dont really believe the androids built in battery measure.
Maybe a number on how much time the screen was powered on, for reference?
Reboot the phone and watch it drop to 50%

That's why I never restart the phone unless I'm near an charger.

lol...but actually that doesn't matter...it doesnt drain a lot rebooting...it just refreshes the battery stats to show the real value. his phone is saying it's at 99%, but I can assure you it's much much lower than that
Probably was lower than 99%, but it did last a good four days without needing to be charged (in airplane mode the whole time).

99% after 9 hours of battery use, yep i have to agree with you scotsman, it is much lower than that
WiFi can certainly be a hog, as can be GSM signal - especially if it's a weak signal. Display will drain if you keep the display on a LOT(!) - but otherwise that's why you see a lot of folks recommend to turn off WiFi or BT if you're not using 'em.
Wow what a great idea put the PHONE in airplane mode Hello? its a phone people were using them to call and/or text each other.
Want to save gas? Dont drive , just sit in your car and listen to music
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. No matter if it sucks battery I would prefer to use my phone and keep a charger with me every time. But one should enjoy the features to the full.
Can you guys try this?
Set your screen to auto brightness.
Use your phone - web browsing. Now take note of your battery percentage (I use battery dr. so the percentage is on the top of the screen).
When the percentage changes - start timing. Browse primarily white web pages (news etc...).
Time how long before the percentage changes.
Mine is somewhere around 3 minutes (or slightly less). That makes it run around 5 hours (300/60) if it's consistent.
Is this what you guys are getting??? I just put in a new battery and to be honest it seems just like the older battery.
Thanks!!!!
I seem to be consuming 25% of battery in a hour of web browsing (stock battery). So, if you've upgraded to the 2100 mAh One X's battery, everything looks correct.
Thank you. I can't believe how fast this phone burns through the battery. GPS is a killer drain too.
Amazing how many programs start running as well without starting them (Battery Doctor shows me apps using battery).
Oh well.
You have the 2100 mAh battery, don't you?
Yes browsing drains the battery pretty fast. This happens on every smartphone,.though.
About the thousands apps automatically starting, most of them don't drain anything at all, it's not their fault.
try to change browser

No, I have a brand new OEM battery. I'm not sure but I think it's due to the AMOLED screen which just burns through battery when displaying white.
Not every phone burns through battery this fast. The One S is one of the worst. See this pict:

This isn't right surely my phone gets way too hot as well and I'm only browsing social media so far I'm really not impressed with this phone as my sms texts crash too and I can't delete conversation or it takes way too long to open a conversation.
In the first screenshot what is your screen time?

Probably not even an hour mate, it's ridiculous
Strange... Your phone came with Android 5.0.2 preinstalled? Now I see you're using 4g ... For example now I have 54% batterry with 2h 40 (music,web browsing on 3g+). I heard the Android 5 is a major battery drainer (especially if you re staying on 4g). Try to make a few full discharge/recharge cycles or try a hard reset.
For example I don't have a battery problem even that I'm running Android 5. But I've manually flashed it( from Android 4.4.4) . This is my usage for today:

Ahh I see well I'm running the 5.04 I think, I can't update the software so im presuming it is the latest one, and sync where would I find this? Sorry I'm new to androids. You see yours is on about 50% and you can still get 10hours+ mine is on 67% at the moment and it's saying it won't last another 4 hours. I think I'll let it run completely dead them put it on charge
Settings->Accouts-> and uncheck auto-sync data. And about battery predictions they are not so accurate,at least at the first 1-2 weeks... Trust me this is a great phone in matter of battery just give it time. With proper settings and medium usage(4 h 30m screen time) you can get something like this:
This is my usage data that I had 2 weeks ago . Medium usage,web browsing,fb and some pictures .

Ah I see, that's the dream right there lol. This is the second day im using it, it's lasted longer then it did yesterday but it's nowhere near yours lol. I really hope it adjusts it's self by the end of the week.
Also do you find you're phone becomes warm to hot just browsing the Web?!
Depends... On chrome after 20-30 min but I also listen music and it's not that hot . Also it's summer and the screen stays almost at maximum light and that heats it up too .

So I came from the note 4 and thought I would see better battery and screen on time. I see the posts in the note 5 thread that people are getting 7-10 hours of screen on time and maybe the most I can get is 5. Is this from the sprint cell service or something else. I have a lot of apps disabled with package Disabler and I am not rooted. What are your battery stats?

Just about the same as yours. I get about 3 hours of screen on time. However, I do leave wifi, gps, and Bluetooth on all the time. I have a bluetooth headset connected for the majority of the time.
Most I get is about 3.5 SOT so I would say you're getting pretty good battery life.
Confused about the Office apps.
My battery life is good so I can't complain but I find that the pre-installed Microsoft Office apps are taking up quite a bit of my precious juice. Since I have not rooted yet I can't freeze these apps. Is anyone else consistently noticing these apps at the top of their battery usage?
You can use package Disabler to freeze apps.

I get great battery, just deboated and used an app called kernel toolkit.
I get 6-10 hours on screen if not more and all day battery with screen off, but my phone is seriously deboated and most apps stopped from starting.
I get over 3 hours in a 16 hour day. It's not great, but more than enough to get me through the day. The fast charge also helps for the heavier use days.

Yes Microsoft Word was murdering my battery.

Hello community!!
I found a battery monitor in the playstore. It is so good!! So I'd like to share with you people! It's called the Accubattery.

Almost every phone contains a little bit of hardware that can measure the current flow into or out of your battery, in mA or µA. We track this data continuously, but also segment it by screen state (on vs off) and which app was in the foreground. With this data, you can see clearly how your battery was used.
Battery life is probably the most common concern for smartphone users: some are finding it hard to get through a full day on a single charge, others find that after a year or so of use, their battery drains much faster than before, and the issues just keep lining up.
AccuBattery is a relatively new battery life monitor for Android devices (it supports the latest Samsung Galaxy S7s, Google Pixels, and so on) that focuses on accurate battery stats, but also on a research-based suggestion to avoid fully charging your battery.
AccuBattery allows you to set alarm that you actually charge your battery to 80%(Can be modified) and comes with clever tools to let you know when you've reached that level, so that you can unplug. This way, you can get the full 500 cycles(More than 1000, if you charge from 30 to 80 ) out of your battery, until you start to see a noticeable drop in battery life.
I still have my two year old Z2. It still holds battery like a new phone( with slight less capacity due to heat generated due to flashing roms). I used to charge my phone between 25%-80%.

Press thanks if I've helped you!!:fingers-crossed:
Inspired by AccuBattery I have created a raspberry pi 3 image which can stop charging your phone automatically after it reaches a certain percentage. Works on non-rooted phones.

Looks very nice!
