Would be interesting to discuss this issue, please take a poll

i think battery life is awesome on this phone, Ive never had such good battery life with any other smartphone..
I dont think it needs extended battery.
I think HTC actually tried to eliminate battery drain before making a non removable battery.

I second that, getting great battery usage.

I made it from 7:30Am to 10:32PM without hitting 10% reserve. The battery life is fine. Just wish people in the amaze form would realize that.

Mobile all the way

There will always be people who want an extended battery, but its really not needed unless you are using your phone to make 50 pho.e calls in a day or you play 3 hours of games. most people will be more than happy with the battery life provided by the One S.

no need for a Extended Battery here, where would the battery go if there was one

If you are in bad cell coverage (which eats more juice) or are a heavy user, pray god invest a few bucks into a Gumpack external battery. That thing is half the size if a pack of cigs and stores enough juice for 2-3 full recharges on the go. Its one little more gadget to toss into your daypack and remember to keep charged but its well worth the bother. Certainly easier than speculating about a bigger battery while batt life is fine for most users.
And I am not bashing, if you have a 1.5h commute to work and spend it playing GTA3 i can see where the juice goes. So a gumpack battery would be your best approach, with the current 28nm Krait architecture there is not a lot to gain batterywise really. Plus, the AMOLED sucks less juice on dark images, something to keep in mind when picking a background image I think.

How much time passed before you charged it there? About a whole day, right?

i got almost 2 days from it... that was with light use.. with moderate to heavy use i can reach around 24 hours..
but i always stick my phone on charge via usb when im on xda so i never run to 0%

advertising/spamming with mugen battery threads..

recieved mugen battery today!!!

hi all i just recieved my mugen 1500 mah battery for my desire hd :laugh:
i will be testing it over few days .. and will report how the lasting has been
August 24
Have charged my battery as per instructions continuously for 8 hours... After that went into my flight with 96 percent battery.. Listened to music through out the duration of my flight about 2.5 hours
And my battery dropped to 88 percent
Doing my second charge cycle as I write this
Ok so the battery actualy does what it says.... Now my device lasts all day long still with 20 percent at the end

Cool. I got one about a month ago and am happy with it. Remember to follow the initial charging instructions. Also here is a link to a good article about getting the most out of your battery.

Can you give a screenshot of the battery stats (or a photo or just typed record) and also how good was your battery life before?
That does matter as different people will use the phone differenrly. Is your wifi always on, bluetooth GPS e.t.c
Thanks for the post though, I may buy one

Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app

Mugen power batteries are really good.
Operation time on the screenshot - 3d 4h 49 min.

I get - 3d 12h with Blackout ICS Incredible and standard battery - few calls, few times browsing in internet, few messages. My battery stat then seems a lot like yours.

People who get 3 days, should tell us exactly how many hours do they use their devices.
Cause having a phone powered off for 16 hours per day, it's not exactly the typical use.

Yeah it would also be good to know the screen on time, because it seems like my screen absolutely destroys my battery and I have no chance of getting over even 1 day usage. Im thinking of getting a new battery, but not sure it will be any better

Yeah thanks, I did use juicedefender for a while, but now I've decided that my display usage is causing all my battery drain. How long screen on time can you expect to get out of a full battery? I know that's a vague question taking into account data/wifi etc, but just a general idea would be good. Thanks

That's a pretty difficult one to answer!
I'd say it depends on the screen brightness and what you're using the phone for:
If you're outside a lot, and you have auto brightness, that'll mean the brightness is 100%. I use a small app called Lux, which is - I think - the only one that allows you to map your own brightness curve, and then decide the refresh frequency. Works very well for me, since I need less brightness indoors.
Processor load while reading emails/browsing is much lower than if the same screen-on time is for gaming for example.
I have also lowered the processor frequency when sleeping, so I guess that will increase the relative weight of the screen-on consumption.
I mainly browse and do emails: currently of 210 minutes on battery, the screen has been on 85 minutes and 38% of the battery has been consumed.
The use details section of the System/Battery summary says that the screen has been responsible for 64% of the battery drain.
I must also add that I'm using a custom ICS ROM, and there have been comments that the battery statistics are not 100% trustworthy, so take these figures as orientative.
Also, I have had the battery for 18 months, and Battery Monitor Widget calculates 1200mAh capacity. Again with the ICS ROM I have my doubts about this figure, I will eventually run a few charge cycles on the stock battery - which has broadly the same age - to see what degradation is reported there. Comparing the 2 will give a reasonable idea about how capacity for each one degrades over time.

2450mAh battery?!?!

I bought this battery in 2011y on ebay that claimed to be 2450mAh but it was only 1400-1500mAh.
Original battery works for me (on JB ROM) around 18-24h, with this fake - around 20-26h.
Sry my english... =)

Buy batteries from a reputable dealer, too many counterfeit ones going around! I just bought mugen 3600 directly from mugen, it's been amazing! Highly recommend! It's worth the cost !
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.

Just bought one in Spain from eBay too. 8.5 eur, free shipping. I'll discharge it first to 0( it came 70% charged), then I'll run nova battery tester benchmark and post results. The stock battery gave me 1420mah until the phone switched off at 1% on the long test of that app. Using pydx kernel, elegancia 5 rom.

How well does it perform compared to the Anker one? The most I've gotten out of my Anker so far is three and a half day, but that is without using it a lot. I find that it mostly depends on the ROM you're using tho, and due to that I prefer the sensless ROMs, because they seem to run a lot lighter than their Sense counterparts. But hey, that's my observation.

What's your screen on time?
Someone got 4 days, 2h40m screen and 45 min in call using anker battery.
Skipjacks said:
Okay I want to put this business about bad battery life and battery bugs and all that jazz to bed.
Look at my battery graph. I rest my case.
Any battery problems are not with the ROM. It's clearly capable of having disgustingly good battery life.
That's 4 DAYS since unplugging with 8% battery life left as of right now.
That includes 2 hours and 40 minutes of screen on time
45 minutes of phone talk time
This is on the April 26th build. And this is the FIRST charge since flashing that build. So the battery use probably isn't even maximized yet.
My settings are OnDemand 192 - 1242
Anker battery
Auto Brightness is off and I use the notification bar swipe to adjust brightness as needed
Alterations made to the Google Services Framework to eliminate Google Wakelocks (this has nothing to do with Albino's code, hence it's not the ROM) Click here for more details
Greenify to keep other wakelocky apps on a short leash. (I'm looking at you T Mobile's My Account app. You're so useful but you think you own the place!)
Haptic feedback is off for everything. The only thing that's allowed to use the vibration function is the ringer (I don't use a ringtone, vibrate only) and reminder notifications. If you have haptic feedback on for every press on the screen and keyboard you are basically giving up battery power to run a small electric motor. That's not an efficient use of limited battery life.
Full disclosure. I don't keep mobile data on all the time. I turn it on as needed. And I've been very busy doing other stuff the past 4 days so there hasn't been a ton of use time. Obviously if I had been using it more it wouldn't have lasted 4 days. But if the ROM can idle for 4 days and not drain itself dry, then battery problems aren't in the ROM. They are with apps, settings, or user error. Albino's ROM can be configured to run for what may as well be for freakin' ever on a single charge. I'm half expecting him to add "sustainable cold nuclear fusion" to the changelog of the next build.
So if you've got battery issues, go buy an Anker before you do anything else. Even if you have other problem that will make everything better. And stop talking about battery issues in this thread. Come to the FAQ thread (see link in my signature) and ask questions about how to improve battery life there. We'll take all battery questions there with a smile and be glad to help you, where in this thread battery questions will be met with verbal beratement for clogging up the thread with whining.

dont mess with these batterys
they usualy fake, has a wrap that can be removed, and then you will see its says 1600~mah
the anker and mugen 1950 are real 1950 mah and the max power u can get without extending the case(anker is cheaper thou so its more recommended)

Battery Life

Hey guys. SO ive been using a hand me down Captivate recently, but coming from a Blackberry, the battery life seems very poor. I know the phone is over 2 years old so I should get a new battery, but even with a new battery, what kind of stats are you seeing with the captivate?

Highly depends on your usage. I personally get about a day to a day and a half of battery on slow days. With some more moderate-high usage, it's usually about 8-9hrs with 2-3hrs of screen on.

Depending on the ROM I'm running I've seen battery life between 24 and 36 hours with the stock battery.
I bought a 3750 mAh no-name battery pack for $10 (plus shipping, lol) on ebay and constantly get over a days worth with moderate use (over 1h screen-on time quite often) Be aware that this battery was considerably larger than the stock one, but did come with a plastic cover that snaps in place of the stock one.

mine lasts about 1.5 days, with a new aftermarket battery

What firmware are you using? I noticed drastic increases going from GB to ICS and JB.

Have you turned off your data? Are you running stock? As mentioned above, power management is much better with ics and jb.
When I got my captivate, data could kill the battery in a about 6 or 7 hours without turning on the screen.

I just picked up a 3500mah ebay battery, combined that with juice defender and gsam battery monitor to finally go a whole day without charging. Im running a JB rom and use my phone regularly with work days being up to 16hrs. Before all that, I'd have to watch my usage to get a stock battery to last a whole day for me.

The Cappy's battery are faily small for all the new features 4.2.1 is bringing. You gotta keep in mind that more features = more battery drain. If you can get 2.5-3hrs of screen on, be happy!

Have gotten between 15-18 hours on my battery from new till now (2years old)
With the exception of a few roms (mostly early stages) its been pretty consistent and based more on wifi/mobile data than anything else

My advice is to buy a new battery. Even if it's the same capacity as the old one, it will have less cycles on it, and batteries don't last forever. Also, I would stay away from these cheap ebay batteries. More than likely they are either recycled or they're subpar sells that have been relabeled and sold. Either way, they're not close to the mAh reading they're advertising.
I bought the 1800mAh battery that fits in the Epic 4G and I get more than a day with my usage. Just have to turn off google maps location report, as that will kill your battery in a few hours. Google now still works without it enabled.

actually, if you buy from a reputable seller, my experience with batteries on EBay is very good. I got a 1600 maH battery with 3 year warranty for $4. I've been using it for 8 months, no problems, good life.

Hey mate, is it safe to put a much bigger battery than the stock ??
Will it be an issue during charge ??

CBS, using a bigger battery than stock is fine. I've used 7-8 and4oid phones with extended batteries and have never had an issue. they will however take longer to charge due to the increased size.
I used to use a zerolemon 7500 mah battery in my galaxy s3. It was great. Took twice the time to charge but well worth it. Only plug it in to charge at night.

No problem. Sounds like a 7500 mah battery sounds like it will suit your needs. Internet, gaming, streaming movies and music will take it's toll on even the best batteries. A 7500 mah battery will last me all day with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and gps all day for work. The average user will get 1-3 days depending on use. With the right rom and kernel can do wonders.

Glad I could help. I haven't used the NFC on my s3 or my s4. I tried playing with it but it's not a need. You guys will be happy to know if you buy a wireless charging receiver it will fit under the stock battery cover as well with the zl 3000 mah battery. I love wireless charging.
