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 dropped my phone and found my battery died and doesnt work anymore. I ordered these new batteries online from ebay. they were cheap....can anyone clarify if these batteries are half decent?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330551036273
those look like the exact batterys i ordered off some random chinese site. I bought three and always carry and extra battery with me and never charge my phone. usually the battery will last me around 18 hours (almost a whole day)
so i bought thee batteries and well when booted into fast boot. that Recovery thingy, it said my battery voltage was too low??? what does that mean? i cant change that ?
These batteries are being drained reallly reallly fast. Anyone recommend some other good 1500omah batteries??

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.

How good is the battery though...
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

I get amazing battery life with mugen power 1500mah battery I can watch four hours of YouTube on 3g
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.
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!
If you really want insane battery life, get back to froyo and flash Firefly

You said "before all that". I understand from that, that you meant before the JB rom.

I understand battery consumption will be higher with JB than a previous version like froyo. The "before all that" referenced the new battery and apps. I've been running various JB roms for quite awhile now.

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.

Hi
So my phone's battery started to mess up. It would run out in 5 min from 90% if using WiFi even if the screen brightness was set to minimum. Same thing would happen if watching videos. But playing music would last about 3 hrs and if not used for media it would last full day with average number of calls. I tested it with current widget and it showed a loss of 2% over 2 hrs when in sleep mood .so is there anything I could do to improve the battery life or should I buy a new one?
I already have 2 extra batteries that I bought with the phone but they are even worse!!!thanks
Sounds like your buying bad knock off batteries. If the issue isn't ROM related, try picking up an Anker and see if that fixes the issue.

I forgot to say that the current battery its the original battery and its almost 2 yrs old. Would that make any difference or should I just get the anker battery ?

yup your phone's battery is dying.
I don't think the anker battery is available in Egypt.
Try asking couple of local stores because I'm sure Vodafone or mobinil don't have Sensation batteries.
