Hello all
New owner of wonderful GT Neo3 80W (5000 mAh battery)
Even with that, I can see a very poor battery life on my Neo3
Can't see why, while there's no app who drains so much, but I barely go above 3 hours SOT ( in 120hz mode ), but I can't live without it (60 fps feels so laggy )
Any ideas ?
Okay it improved after several charging cycles
I can go to 4/5 hours SOT now, even if it's not enough for a 5000 mah battery, it improved..

120hz is that much battery drainer ?
It's a very smooth and nice experience but I wonder how much battery life it costs ..

Yes, I never use this on my phones, not worth it in my opinion
In the reviews there was a figure of about 4-5% difference in energy consumption. At 120 Hz, the eyes are really more comfortable when reading from the screen. For sensitive eyes, it matters.
Totally agree with you
I can't live without it

I'm considering shelling out the 50 bucks for a 1700mha battery from Mugen.
I'm using an LG Quantum with the stock 1500. Anyone ever use one? Does it extend the life that much to be worth it?
...I also saw their monster 3400. The life would be great, but no thanks on the bulk-factor.

quick math tells me that the energy storage capacity for the 1700 is roughly 10% increase. Remember:
mAh = milli amp-hours. The number of hours the battery can sustain a one milli amp drain and is equivalent to the battery's capacity.
I do not believe it's worth the upgrade at that price. Also keep in mind that it will take longer to charge a higher capacity battery.

Interesting, I did not know that.
Many thanks for the advice. With that logic, no it's probably not a very good idea.
yeah... 10% increase is not worthed.. unless you go from 1300 to 1800 as in my mozart.. big increase
Also keep in mind these non OEM batteries may say 1800+ mAH, but the overall battery quality can be awful. I've heard some horror stories of leaking batteries, and the overall total capacity going down after only about a month or 2 of use.
HTC Arrive user here and I was using a 1800mah battery (coming from a 1500mah) and I say its worth it...straight up destroys the 1500mah. The only thing thats "meh" is that although it does seem to fully charge the battery, it just doesnt report it right. So at first it'll seem like the battery life is the same, but thats because you need to reboot the phone to get the right reading. For example, if you're at 100% and take it off the charger and do some nonsense, the reading will be the same as if you had the stock battery. But if you took it off the charger and immediately rebooted...you'd be on 100% for a long time (for me, with constantly listening to music after taking it off the charger and rebooting...I'd be on 100% for about 25-30 minutes).

Which battery maker are you using and does that 1800 fit the same profile as the 1500 one?
...I bought a Mugen 1800mAh battery for my Mozart and I am very happy with it.
I am now at ~ 60 hours per charge against 36 hours with the original battery...
I also got the 1800mah Mugen battery for my Verizon HTC Trophy. It does last longer than the OEM, in real world, maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour of talk time (standby longer )
Has anyone tried one of these yet ? I have seen 1900mah ones on ebay but wonder if they really give you anything more over the stock battery.
Becareful they might be dangerous for your phone
I have seen someone complaning about over voltage. 1900mAh seems like a good option but it should be reliable as well.
I wouldn't trust a phone battery on eBay to do anything besides fry my phone.

Now now, let's be fair, it should at LEAST be able to fry your phone AND blow up in your pocket doing considerable bodily harm too.
1900 ECELL MAH Battery
got just about 16 hours hours from an Ecell 1900mah battery, I had screen brightness on more or less full capacity and Wifi enabled for around approximately 4 and a half hours before I disabled wifi and reduced screen brightness down to just above a quarter. Used the phone for browsing, 10-12 minute phone call, 25 mins of game play throughout the day which included samurai vengeance THD (ten minutes), N64oid emulator (FZERO and MarioKart) and and one full game of real football in 3D. Sent out a couple of texts and downloaded three apps.

Would you have got this out of the standard battery do you think.
A shame there aint a big extended battery like 3000-4000mah.

I've found that the 1900 battery gives you roughly around four and half extra hours than the 1500 battery. Reducing display brightness to just over a quarter and having wifi disabled along with moderate use of the phone will easily get you through the day with the 1900 battery. Have not seen any adverse effects from using the battery such as overheating either.
where we can find 1900 battery for O3D ?
optimus 3d use some battery as optimus 2x ?
You can find the battery here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250854034507
but it looks a bit dodge.
Here you can find one with 1600mAh that looks less dodge:

do you think this battarys will make any problem on my phone ?
also i want to ask external chargers like this http://cgi.ebay.com/External-Batter...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2eb5ca4fe2 are safe for the phone ?

5000 mAh O.O
i think i will prefer a portable charger than a hong-kong battary for my phone
Has anyone used any Apps that claim to report battery capacity?
I have Battery Monitor Widget which claims the battery is only holding 1200mAh when on the battery it claims it should be 1500mAh.
I am dubious about its accuracy though as it doesn't seem able to report how much the battery is currently draining, although that should be more hardware specific than reading the battery capacity I would think?
It is kinda odd though as the first 15% seems to drain really fast and then it gets slower. I have literally seen it go from 100% to 96% in a few minutes doing nothing particularly taxing. Yet it can easily run for many hours web browsing with screen brightness on auto.
what is the widget called as mine drains very fast i have lost 16% in 2HRS 33. which is crazy.
Could using different launchers have a effect i wonder, this is a great phone but this sort of battery drain is plain crazy.
Edit . just found the one you mention and it says mine is a 1200 also , would be interesting to see if its accurate on a different phone.
It just seems odd that I can have it fully charged, go to bed with airplane mode on and its still down to 85% when I wake up despite nothing obvious using any CPU power. The big battery drain is always Android System, in fact I think that is ALWAYS the case even if I sit with the screen on which I always got the impression the screen was meant to be the biggest power drain on phones?
If I go to bed without airplane mode on its pretty much identical, which doesn't seem right at all considering it would be connected to WiFi and HSDPA (data mode off).
That said in ACTUAL use it seemed to last me a days use quite well. I'm just a bit puzzled that the widget claims the battery is not what its supposed to be and that the phone is showing as losing the first 20% really fast.
Don't get me wrong, the overall battery life to 0 seems not too bad, I am just concerned that perhaps there is something I can do to improve it further.

This external charger is good. I am using one. I use it for charging PSP as well.
It can charge 2 phones at same time. I tried the following combinations:
htc desire + aria, sgs + aria, 2x sgs, sgs+o3d..
one of the port is 1A, so it just feels like charging the phone off a normal charger. One this thou, this thing is heavy light a phone
if you are having short battery life check in the applications menu to see what apps are still running cuz i discovered the hard way that sometimes when you exit a 3d game the game doesnt actually quit and just sits in the background eating up 65% of your battery life. nova seems to be bad for it.

Good to know thanks for that.
So I heard that some of the S7 users suggest not to use fast charge on a daily basis because it damages the battery pretty badly. Any thoughts on that? To be honest I really want to use it because it's a very nice feature to have and makes my life so much easier. Any thoughts or experiences?
Thanks in advance
Heats the battery up a lot more which will shorten it's life somewhat, and only takes about 15 mins off a full charge vs normal charging, not really worth it IMO
I only use it if I'm in a hurry and need as much charge as possible in a short time

Actually it takes down nearly an hour or more of normal charge. So it really does count. (I use high voltage chargers on a daily basis, I don't have bad wallplugs trust me on this one)
My question is if the fast charging is that much worst than normal for the battery. I know what and why happens, I'm just curious about Samsung solution. What I'm interested in is other long time users experience of how much the battery life decreased by using fast charge a lot
Thanks for your answer tho

Not for me and many others it doesn't, 15-20 mins difference max

I have been using a S7 for 9 months charging it always with fast charging and I don't think that's the main issue of battery life decrease. I think it's more a Nougat problem. I'm still getting 4h SOT.
Hope it was usefull.
Hmm I got an iPhone 8 at work and the battery brain and loss of battery on that is amazing, it barely leaks. On my pixel it just leaks battery life so easily and quickly.
I know it depends on how you use the device and 100 other factor but anyone else get this general feeling? I read Pixel 1 has heat issues with that version of CPU.
I recently purchased a used pixel.. I did expect the battery life to be better than it appears to be... i'm not sure if its because the battery is fairly degraded from the previous owners.. or if I have a slow drain.. or maybe just an unrealistic expectation of the smaller variant... but I am curious to know if other people see really good battery life on their phone.. Thanks!
I bought a used pixel as well. I have questioned the battery life as well. Then again I purchased this phone for 150.00 and the quick charge is a blessing. I did crack my screen so I was going to perform a battery change while I did the screen to see if that would fix my issue. Here is a screenshot of my battery.
Keep in mind that Apple uses some funny algorithms to report the battery percentage and usage in a way that makes the user perceive the battery life to be better than it actually is. Like, why do you think it stays at 100% for so long? When down to 3, 2, or 1%, the battery lasts forever until it the device finally shuts down. Don't trust Apple (iOS), and take everything they report with a grain of salt.

I also bought a used Pixel and found the battery life not to match my expectations, as it is quite average like mid range phones. I ran a Geekbench 3 battery test, and got the score of 1798, which is slightly below other Pixels, but not that much. So while the Pixel XL has a top level battery life, the smaller phone lacks of battery to run the powerful hardware. Still I am quite happy with battery life while soft usage watching videos.
Here are screenshots of my battery life all made without charging the phone in between. The first screenshot is with gaming and heavier apps (around 3h15 SOT), while the second and third are almost only soft usage with mainly YouTube and Netflix at 50% brightness, where I can get around 4hrs30 SOT, which I am happy with. Hope this helps somebody.

Guys i have seen many reviews but no one will suggest me better then real user
I m on mate 20 pro quit bored
Planning to buy op7 pro it's just 5k (256gb ) selling my mate 20p
I m okay with camera downgrade
But how much better op camera got better?
Most importantly how's battery life i mean will it ever reach 7 hrs of sot with 90hz 1080p
BATTERY BIG BIG FACTOR FOR ME
PLEASSEEEEE HELP ME
Yes Camera is fine,Even Better with Gcam especially if you root. Battery easily lasts a day for me & I must mention I have a moderate to heavy usage

Normally somewhere around 7-8 hours for me. Close to 9 at some occasions. Not a gamer though. Mobile data always enabled, display on 90hz, resolution at1080 . First smartphone ever that I do not have to charge every day!

Yes, for me it is. I came from a 3 years old HTC10, with a battery that had only ~70% capacity left, where I had 2.5-3hours of SOT. I had to charge the damn thing twice per day...

For me as a heavy social media user (Whatsapp, snapchat, Instagram, etc) the battery is normally between 4 and 5 hours sot. So if you don't use those battery heavy apps I could imagine 7 hours.
I'm on 90hz and 1440p.
Battery has been very good with normal usage and not a concern of mine.
Lol battery you shouldn't be worrying about at all
