For those with extended batteries... - HTC Rezound

How long does it take to fully charge your phone with say 30% battery left? I'm curious...
Sent from my Rezoundizzle

About 3 hours.

Same as above and it lasts much longer of the charger. Well worth the extra bulk IMO
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

It only takes 2 - 2 1/2 hours tops from a completely dead battery.

Depends on the charger you use. If you use the charger that came with the rezound, only a couple of hours from dead battery.

It also depends whether or not you're using your phone while on charge as well.

Off topic but does anyone know of a rezound battery that comes with more power but same size cell? I really don't want to use an extended battery cover.

In the accessories thread there is a topic on a mugen? extended. It fits in the stock cover. Not sure how good they are. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545032

I have heard that the mugens do last longer but after 3-6
Months they degrade and end up like a stock battery. Not worth it in my opinion. But for extended, it takes about 4-5 hrs to charge mine but I only charge my phone via usb, not wall charger

mine can charge in a little under 3 hours with a dead batterry... but then again it is never dead...
its like it cant die. Running n64 emulators, streaming netflix, it still trucks through the day.

I bought the OEM Thunderbolt Extended Battery. Same results as above. 3 Hours to charge from dead. The bulk is also definitely worth it as stated above. After 26 hours I still had 10% battery life. I used bluetooth, wifi, played music, and games though out the day. (Pokemon, Shadow Gun). About 3 hours of screen on time. I do only have 3G enabled (CDMA Only). I'm in a 3G only area.

My phone takes about an hour to fully charge. From 30%, I'd say about 45 min.
Everybody else takes a few hours. I guess mine is just really fast.

Ok thanks for the replies. Thought maybe my battery was defective, but three hours seems about right. My tbolt extended took hour and half, so i thought there was a problem.

Well certainly seems to be a thorough report and investigation. Guess the battery is crap

It will take 4-5 full recharge cycles to hit full capacity. The graph you show is fine. How much battery life were you expecting? 12-14 hours would seem about right.

When i first got mine, my battery seemed to drop like 2% like every 5 minutes the phone on and I was just browsing forums.
I think it will get better once u break in the battery more.

with that math you'd be getting around 16 hours with 4 or so hours of onscreen time. I don't see a problem at all with that battery life.
I miss my battery percentage icon
I used 40% of my battery in 7 hours of playing with my phone. So far I'm very pleased
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Remember if anyone's like me you can't put the phone down right now, using it like crazy! It will be better after a few charge cycles. Be patient folks. Give it a few days before starting to freak! Enjoy the new hardware already!
Are you guys charging fully before first use or taking out of box booting using and letting it drain? Does it matter never been able to get a good answer.

Mine goes right out of the box and booted and I start playing. A charger or outlet is always handy by me so why wait for it to charge?
I am not going to be concerned with battery life at all... I'm currently coming from the HTC Vivid and comparing the two tests between the phones from Engadget, I'm happy...
HTV Vivid - "In our formal battery rundown test, the Vivid held its charge for a paltry five hours and ten minutes."
AT&T Note - "...with the phone managing eight hours and eight minutes on our standard rundown test in an HSPA+ area."
I've been using my Note heavily for about 11.5 hours today and still have 29% battery life left. I've been watching videos, playing a game or two, tracking the snow that is forecast for my area and my normal texts, email, twitter and Facebook. My Inspire wouldn't last this long with moderate use. I'm pleased with the Note's battery life, but I'm not in an LTE area if that matters much.
no *****in about battery life for at least a few days if not a week... it will not stabilize until the phone has been charged up and drained several times. case in point, i took it right out the box and started using it. started at about 50% battery life and was dead in an hour. charged it up last night and been using it for the last 6 hours pretty heavily and its still at 77%.
it will only get better, be patient my atrix was just as bad out of the box.
Do not expect the same gas mileage as civic from your lamborghini.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
hmmm...
after a full day i have about 13 to 20% battery life left..
You guys are judging way too quick. Let the battery settle in and then after a week you still get the same battery life then by all means complain away. When I say you guys I mean the OP and anyone that agrees with him

If i can pull 10 hrs I'll be happy. Wont get mine till Monday though. Just waiting patiently till i get back from camping then I will make sure to send Da-G some loot (HINT HINT) then root and patiently await the kick ass blue dragon. (You reading G?)

Yup. A rezound battery is the same size, works with the tbolt, and is slightly better. Just be sure you get a standard rezound battery and not an extended one (which also works with the tbolt but is huge and going have ti get a special cover.)

In my honest opinion yes. The extended battery really isnt that bad in terms of looks and feel. You do get a better feel and grip on the phone and its much easier to use it one handed. It doesnt look that bad and after a few days, you wont even notice it.
Everyone that has taken my advice loves it and wish they would have did it sooner...
Hmm ill take your advice on that battery
Ordered the official HTC extended battery for this phone... Hope to see some major improvements

depends on what you want they have battery they have 2750 mAh and 3500 mah thats what i know so far. so depending on the size of the phone you care for like if you want some life in the phone but not that bulky go with the 2750 mah. now if your like me always streaming videos or surfing the web and don't care about size go with the bigger battery
How much use could one expect from a rezound battery?

I can say that I have good battery life and I use the phone between moderate & heavy.
4G, Facebook, twitter (3 accounts @ 10 minute updates), texting, notifications. games & video watching plus email checks (3 accounts) every 2 hours. Start at 100% at roughly 6-7am and still have around 30% at around 1am. i do have it on wifi from 9pm to about 1 am most times when Im home because I control my roku unit with the phone.

Is this with an extended period battery or a rezound battery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't mind the bulge, i think it adds grip.
With the extended battery I get about two full days and part of a third, with one Gmail, one Yahoo email (15min), and Facebook. I also had an Exchange with push and got the same times.
However, I mostly do quick internet searches and 10-15min gaming sessions twice a day. On the stock battery I was getting a day tops.

Extended battery. The rezound battery will only give you a little xtra. I hate to say it but some of the claims by people with the rezound battery are hard to believe.Not saying they are all bull but I dont think they are exactly as stated.
Well I haven't seen any claims from some that use the rezound battery and was kinda curious what could be expected from that battery.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I bought the Rezound battery a while back hoping for some amazing numbers, but in honesty, you may get a few hours out of it. I've never had jaw dropping hours with it but if you r wanting a big boost, I would go with the 2750mah. I'm almost leaning towards it myself.

Is this normal for charging the extended battery

It's still charging and its been on the charger for 8 and half hrs..
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Remember its double the capacity so it's going to take twice the time to charge. Plus initial charging always takes a while.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Depending on the size of the battery. It takes me roughly 1-2hrs with the 1400mah battery. If you have a battery that's about that you could look from anywhere from 2-8 hours

Battery

Well schools about to start and I need a Rom that has really good bat. Currently running viper with no mods and it lasts a good 5hr
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Did you try calibrating the battery again? 5 hours is pretty short. Turn off auto-sync, and stick to 3g. And you should have access to WiFi in school, right? I got the extended battery. Money well spent. Shop around, I'm sure you could get one for a decent price.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Calibrating the battery? Is there an app for that? And school doesn't have WiFi so 4g is essential. And extended battery is too expensive. Does the aosp or cm9 do well? I don't want to flash a whole new ROM just to test the battery lol

Grab a spare standard battery and a cheap battery charger. All together its like $12 plus shipping. I got two extra standard batteries. I put on in my backpack and leave the other at home for trips and stuff.

That or get an emergency battery pack they usually can charge your phone twice before needing to be recharged and mine was $30

Are you saying five hours screen on or five hours total?
Five hours screen on is fantastic. I don't think you can do better than that. Five hours total is terrible. If that's all you're getting then something is wrong.

Ineffabilis dues 1.1 has great battery life. When I stick to just 3g, a carefully adjusting brightness, I can get 15+ hrs with moderate use with 2.5-3 hrs screen on time.

Same rom, same stats for me, but I am on wifi most of the time. I can get up to four hours screen on if I'm mostly only using the phone to read a book (FBReader).
Thanks! I'll try it out today

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.
