Whats the best battery for longer usage WITHOUT having to replace the door (have a 40$ case that would go to waste)
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
None lol. You'd have to get an extended if you really want extra life that bad. I contacted Motorola few weeks back and complained about battery life (even though its not bad at all) and they offered to send me one for free. Best solution is to have 2 batteries!
If you really want to save yourself some battery ditch all those juice defender type apps and just uncheck these when you're not on your phone. I can get my phone to last at least 28 hours on a single charge by turning these on only when I need them. But battery life isn't a problem for me because I have 2 OEM batteries

honestly it's got great battery life, but if you go to a service and repair center and ask them to test your battery, they could at the vary least get you a replacement battery. ( if it's bad)
also turn off your GPS, for what ever reason the GPS hogs a TON of batt. on this phone. more than any other phone i've ever owned actually...
First, what Kenny said. I have 2 batteries but only really carry both when I'm going out or know I will be taking pictures or video (trust me, both will drain your phone real quick)
My GPS is NEVER on unless its in CarDock and im traveling in unfamilar area! No use for it at home. WiFi either. I have 2 computers at work and 3 at home.
Lastly, ante up the $$$ and get your battery from Motorola. Not all batteries are alike. (then again, I had 5 battereis with Evo I got for like $3.00 each. Some of them had some good run time?)
See I use my phone a lot like almost constantly, but ive set everything off that I can including getting a widget that can set the brightness all the way down correctly
Even with the screen set to 0% I only get about 4-5 hours.. That normal? Ill try setting background data off

You have issues sorry to say. I can unplug my phone when I shut off alarm at 6:00AM, listen to Pandora over BT Headphones all day at work, check my email several times and send 15+ text at work (sometimes more) and still make it home at 5:30PM (barely, like 10 or 12%, but I make it.)

Any phone you pick up that has constant data running in background with a large screen will drain if you never put it down. Ask the galaxy nexus people lol? Only simple solution is to stop using it as much. Also cdma phones are known to have worse battery than GSM especially sprint; the worse your signal is the worse the battery life is. Unfortunately, sprints signal is terrible every where so we all suffer. If I use my phone for 3-4 hours straight I would have the same results. Just get a backup OEM battery man. I assure you for us HEAVY users thats about normal man. If your display is over 60% you need to put your phone down and take a break buddy. 70% and you're complaining about battery life? I just noticed that lmfao
PS that battery app doesn't do anything man get rid of it
I actually got rid of that app right after I posted this hahaha and the background data switch gave me significantly better battery life!! Now im at over 3 hours and at 48%!

I had seen a 2200mah battery on amazon but it was a cheap one that wouldnt even go past 1500mah I was hoping someone knew of a 1750mah - 2200mah battery seeing as there is one already, just too cheaply made for me(was only like 8$ and horrible reviews)
Edit- any thoughts on this deal or similar ones?

The only batteries I recommend is the stock 1750 OEM. I've owned a ton of android phones and I'm not a fan of aftermarket cheap batteries. Here's what you do: Go to moto website, register your device, find te troubleshooting link, chat with a live rep, tell them your battery keeps getting extremely hot, make sure you tell them you've done hard resets from settings and through recovery, let them talk a bit, tell them sprints being if no help and wants to charge you for new battery, and get a free one sent to your house.
I did exactly what I just told you and it worked. Don't waste money buying those after market batteries..
Next I have to chat with them again for a free battery replacement door because mine makes little noises now from taking the back off so much. Plus its super thin and not a high grade of plastic.
Isnt the stock battery 1600mah? Atleast thats what my battery said on it..maybe radioshack jipped me xD and ima do that soon as I get home thank you!

My battery life ranges between a day and a half if I'm not using it much, to about 4 hours if I watch a few videos on it from NetFlix. I've noticed the battery seems to last longer with a stable 4G connection compared to 3G, and a lot longer than 4G with a constant WiFi connection (I have about 48 apps on the phone, battery life is significantly longer w/no apps installed)
I think I'll find an extended battery for good reviews then also try to get a free oem battery and rest both.

So i want to port to verizon and get a 4g phone to lock in my unlimited data, but the horror stories of bad battery life are scaring me!
realistically, can you get through one day of moderate use without charging?
I just got mine, and am trying to train the battery and prune services to get maximum run time.
My first day with it, I ran Pandora in the car, plus Google Nav, plus LTE web browsing, etc. I got 4.5 hours full charge to shutdown.
I am still cycling the battery, and I used Juice Defender free for a few days. Now I am playing with Green Power Free, which I use on my froYo tablet. I can get around 8 hours off charger, now, on the OEM battery.
I want to keep the slim(-ish) profile, so i don't want the extended battery with back. But, I will probably experiment with the fleabay batteries and see what I can get.
Battery is a huge suck factor with the TBolt. But, no worse than the Evo 4G that I also ran for a month. And, for me, the speeds and coverage are better with LTE than wiMax.
I have a feeling that I will be shuffling the phone from charger at home to charger in car to charger at office. I hope that the USB port doesn't break....
I get around 14 hours a charge with light-moderate usage. If I don't use my phone at all it'll last a couple days. If I'm streaming lots of music, browsing the web, and making calls I get 6 hours at most.
It doesn't bother me because I am always somewhere I can charge if need be.
The battery life on the Thunderbolt does leave a little to be desired. That being said, if you want the fastest download and upload speeds than this is your phone. By rooting, you can use different kernels and profiles that CAN extend the battery but that is only a band-aid. I just posted this in another thread two seconds ago but ill post it here as well.

Getting these speeds require battery. If your happy with your 3G than get a different phone and you will get better battery. Its up to you.

my post has nothing to with this thread, but dude..........you signature....HILARIOUS!!!!!!
I get 4-6 hours per battery on my thunderbolt. Screw trying to ooze every bit of battery life out of it. That's not why I bought it. 4g and bluetooth are always on and I use location services and push emails. Twitter and rss feeds autoupdate.
I bought this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Y6E5Z2
and it works great to charge all batteries. The extra batteries work pretty good, but the phone gets a little confused so I don't go below about 15-20% because sometimes it just shuts down. I think that is the battery software not being able to read the different batteries. The charger can charge one battery before my phone dies so I just switch as needed.
hmm, not exactly what i was hoping to hear. honestly i don't need a 4g phone now, but i want to grandfather in unlimited 4g before verizon takes that option away.
how good can the battery life get if you undervolt, turn off 4g when you're not web browsing, and buy the biggest battery that isn't obnoxiously large? how does the thunderbolt compare to the revolution or charge?

If you don't want a huge battery get the seidio slim .. works better than stock for me and I get around 12 hours of heavy usage.. then when it dies I switch to the stock if I'm not home.

I usually get 5 hrs or so in a 4G area. A whole day roughly 10 hrs in a 3G area.
I just got my thunderbolt a few days ago and I've been stuck spending time next to a charger all the time so far but its worth the speeds!

Battery blows and something is draining the crap out of it even when sleeping. I'm gonna start analyzing with system panel soon to find the problem.
On a rom that has a toggle or using the lte on off app, you can toggle down to cdma/evdo unless you need to do something data intensive. Leaving lte on all the time isn't nessesary. Using aosp and stock battery, I easily make it through the day. I have the extended one though if I feel like it. Too heavy imo. Plus I look retarded when only I have the huge battery around 10 friends with super thin iphone 4's.

I do sometimes. I just use my phone so much I can get pretty low on 3g alone. So unless I'm on youtube or something I stay on 3g.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
It's difficult to say whether one makes it through the day with moderate use since everyone's definition of moderate use is different. I'm rooted with das BAMF remix 1.8, stock kernel and settings, and after about 100 txt messages, half hour's worth of calls, 30 min. or so of gaming, and 30 min to hour of web browsing, all over 15 hours, my phone was at 68% at the end of the day. That's moderate usage for me, but most or some might call that light usage though. Oh and LTE on the entire time, but Wifi used for about 4 of those 15 hours.
my battery life is absolutely outstanding on this phone, even with 4g on all the time. maybe i just lucked out with a good phone?
I'm pretty sure the Revolution isn't that great on battery either and it's got 1 debloated ROM and BING! ewwww Granted the ROM out for it removes Bing but still. Also the Charge sucks down battery faster than the TBolt in my experience. If you get the extended battery like mentioned it lasts a pretty long time. I got it and thought I'd return it because of the size but it's really not that bad. It's definitely worth it to have the speeds and the dev support on this device! Plus it's not a Samsung and it doesn't come preloaded with Bing!!!

Battery shouldnt be a problem with moderate use. If your a heavy user just invest in an extra battery or two. or get the extended battery.

To be honest I think that WiFi uses less battery than mobile data, so even with the push email it'll use less than just the mobile data without push. Let me rephrase what I said then. There's no way I'll ever see that little loss over that length of time, even without using the phone just in my pocket I lose 10% in less than 2 hours.

A weak cell signal is really rough on the battery. I use wifi at work and home, both have full signal 90% of the time. If my phone is just sitting there at idle it barely uses any battery. Showing battery life since unplugged really isn't giving any info. Up Time and Awake Time since unplugged, with either Data or Wifi on, is what everyone should be showing. That actually gives everyone a general idea of battery life...

If you look at the time where the battery dropped the most, your phone was awake but the screen was off that whole time. There is an app that is keeping your phone awake. I have never had that problem before but I am sure that there is a program on the market that would help find the culprit.

--------EDIT------------
trying to troubleshoot S2 right now, if you want to help me go to my other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375803
------------------------
Been debating for a month or so whether i should buy the SGS2 with a contract for free, or import the Galaxy nexus and sell whatever phone i can make the most profit on to offset the price of the Nexus.
Well i finally decided that the SGS2 would be a better choice, and was also cheaper, so i bought it about a week ago.
I love the phone except for these two huge deal breakers:
the first is battery life when im on a AOSP rom.
Im on CM7 KANG from 11-29. Battery life is pretty awful. When im home its decent about 3% standby drain per hour. I was at school where the service isnt that great and this is what happened:

I dont see how anyone is getting decent battery life from this ROM.
Personally, one of my favorite things about android is being able to run different kinds of roms, particularly CM and MIUI. I really feel that if thats what you like then this is the wrong phone for it.
I have no doubt that i wouldnt be having these issues with a nexus phone. So im starting to come to the conclusion that maybe i should sell it, and import the SGS2, or try to get the nexus S for cheap, and then wait until the price drops a bit.
Do whatever you feel is right for you.

i have no doubts that other roms will have good battery life, (the ones designed for i777) but i get awful life when using cm7 and other aosp roms. This is my biggest problem.
And I'm getting better battery today than the other day. I'm down to 75% after 7 hours. But this is with minimal use and full service, and connected to wifi.

No voltage changes. Removed widgets that were causing some battery strain, switched email from push to poll, prevented some stuff from auto starting, froze some system stuff with Titanium Backup. I tested the drain last night, went to bed with 100%, woke up 6 hours later with 99%.
As far as 'tuning' to stop apps from starting I give a huge +1 for autostarts! Can't remember who recommended it first on this forum but noticeably added to my battery. I have at least 150 apps on my phone and there was a good number set to start 'after boot'.
Not too often does one change make a difference you can feel. I can't really give a number as I've just set it up yesterday and usually go through a full charge with an extended battery, 9+ screen on hours in one day, kinda sad when I think about it. It'll take a few more days before I can really tell the difference it's making. But it 'seemed' like it added a full hour more of screen on time yesterday. It'll blow me away if that's true. Hope the numbers repeat.
As a note I tried stopping 'camera' from auto starting and it did a hard reboot of the phone. Guess that was it's way of saying don't touch.

Similar to everyone else I had to play with my settings and apps. I would also recommend checking out the thread on known apps that are battery hogs. I'm using CM7 with the latest Kang build and the battery life is MUCH improved. Running siyah 2.3 kernal oc'd 200-1600 ondemand. Try turning down the screen brightness some or put it on auto if you haven't. Also, I may be wrong but I bet the battery does get conditioned after a few drain/charge cycles and improves.

Im coming from a captivate with a similar steup, so ive got everything almost down to a science.
Brightness has been another gripe ive had with this device. Auto brightness is way too low, and is also unresponsive. Auto on both my phones side by side shows the flaws (IMO) of the SGS2. When its dark, both are the same, when i shine light on it, the captivate reacts accordingly. As a result, I keep the phone at half brightness.
Ive had battery problems with both phones when running AOSP roms. My captivate would last for 36-48hours with minimal use on a captivate based rom, and then 10-14 hours on CM.
15 hrs. mostly in standby with some light web surfing and constant txt messaging. running at 200mhz-1200mhz on conservative with entropy's DD 12/01/11 release battery is at 72%
Not to mention you cant possibly believe you are going to get a brand new phone that already has similar battery life or maybe a little worse to this phone and flash brand new roms on it and get better battery life. I dont believe the cards are going to fall in your favor. Although the Nexus is a nice phone and would be pretty sweet to own...if battery issues like this are your reason for jumping ship....it may be a long swim to shore.

sorry i read this a few times. I dont get it lol.
I'm not sure if this will help u, but try check ur google maps's setting and sign out of google latitude. My gs2 has been draining battery so fast lately, n now it seems back to 17+ hrs average.
just get another battery or keep more chargers around
So I have had my phone off charge since 6AM, I have been using it all day. Listened to music on the train to work, since i just got it I have been downloading a lot of apps and getting it configured, surfing Facebook and making calls. I even over road the screen dim sensor and turned the screen light to full at about 10 AM. It’s now 4:30PM and I still have 60% battery life!!! I have not had a phone with this kind of battery life since my old Samsung clamshell dumb phone! So awesome!
My Thunderbolt would have been dead by 11am doing the same stuff!

This is with moderate usage: Several voice calls, Google Navigation, Internet Browsing, Facebook-ing, Taking some pictures, downloading and installing apps, Used 4G for about 1/3 of this time while the remaining time was in a 3G area.
The only settings I had set was Auto-brightness until 20% battery, then brightness set to low. LTE/CDMA was left on at all times as well as GPS and Sync.
The phone continued to last about another 2 hours before I finally plugged it in at ~5% battery life remaining.
sounds good ~
I wish that they will release GSM version of maxx

I've had my maxx since the day it came out and im still finding it difficult to not plug it in at night. I keep thinking that the battery wont be enough to last me through to the end of the next day. I also downloaded a widget to turn off mobile data (it takes less than 10 seconds to re-enable them) and the battery lasts even more.

Why dont you just use the smart actions for killing data and sync?

Really? I thought the wifi radio used less battery than the 4g/3g radio. Or are you referring to wifi on but no wifi network?
For me, I had the orig Razr and hated that i had to change my user behavior because of the battery life. I want to use my phone how I want to use it and honestly, the battery should last at least a day. The Maxx will chew through a day with half a battery left...which is perfectly fine with me. I still charge every night.
If only they sell a maxx battery pack and cover. It will make us OG razor users happy

I know! The Maxx Battery is almost too good! lol I’m used to charging every night but now on days when I'm not using it that much that won’t actually be necessary.
Plus I’m coming from a Thunderbolt, maybe the worst battery life in the history of phones. So I have a charge cable literally every place I am, by my bed, at my computer desk, in the kitchen, in the car, at both desks at work, and one in my back-pack. Now I really don’t need any of them but one… So weird.
i also hope theres a gsm version . on rogers canada here and almost jumped on buying two razrs a couple weeks ago...until i heard about the maxx...heres hoping rogers gets it!

That is what I love about the Maxx...brightness at 100%, has minimal effect on battery life!

my non-Maxx RAZR would get 30% by noon, and died by 3PM if i use it like that.

Damn wish to trade off my normal Razr to the Maxx one.

Looks like he is using "Battery Indicator". To download it, search the market for "Darshan", that is the developer, and its easier to find the app searching by the developer name, rather than the app name on this particular application.
If this helps you, don't forget to hit the thanks button pls.

haha, he probably didn't use his phone much. On screen time is probably the most important factor in battery life.

I was surprised to see how much battery life I'm getting out of this phone. I've used it a lot and it still lasts me whole day without having to recharge. I guess Cuz it's pretty new, but let's see.

Use power saver mode charge to100% and use battery calibration app...this erases the batterystats.bin file
Let full discharge once then charge to 100 %
This tool actually helps a lot.
Minimize cpu set to on demand .
I get like 18hrs from 100% down to 8 %
That's from 6 am to 12 midnigt total of 18hrs.
I believe my 82 System app/Debloat illustration is the reason behind my stats.
Check out the thread freeze as many of the system apps as shown .
Pick and choose some may want to use some of the system apps.The ones I froze I found useless to me.

Do you realize I've done none of that and I'm at 18 hours and almost 4 hours screen-on with 30% remaining as of this writing? How many times does it need to be stated that wiping the battery stats is pointless? How many times does it need to be said that draining lithium ion batteries to 0 is more harmful than good? That's all a placebo, nothing more and nothing less.

During my first week of use, I was only getting through the better part of the day before having to charge it. after I've been through multiple charge cycles its lasting a day and a half. It appears to get better with time, I'm really loving it now!

Hey guys up loving my HTC one but the battery on my phone seems to die very quickly specially after playing a few games eg. Candy crush is anyone else experiencing the same problem . I always have the phone on power saver mode and I'm also running the batteryguru app . Should exchange the phone for a new unit ?
Actually, my E4GT was getting 1.5 hours of screen time 12 hours of battery. IDK why it was, it just was. What I'm seeing here, I will be more than happy. And I have an external battery charger? Oh yea.
And the person who only lost 30% from having their phone on for almost 12 hours, that's godsend to me. I leave my phone on over night and lose 30%. LoL!! I can't wait until my HTC One says shipped. (Tmo). They just took the payment out today after purchasing it this Monday. I hope this means their' going to ship it. (Overnight). =.D
