This isn't really a case of "opinion" so much as "estimation." At this point, nobody can say for sure how long the battery life will be on the Inc 4G.
But, we do know that it should certainly be really good. It probably wont be quite as good as the Razr Maxxx, but I honestly think it will come close. The fact that the battery is removable is much much much much much more important for me than a couple extra hours of battery life.
Most days, I'm near a charger for long enough (be it at my desk, in my car, at home, etc.) where battery life is not a concern at all. But when that's not the case, and I need a good battery life (say I'm going to an amusement park for the day, for example), I generally need more than a couple extra hours. In these cases, the Maxxx will last longer but still die prematurely. A removable battery is key in these scenarios.

Same thoughts, just wondering if any contrary opinions. Oh, also screen size on Maxx is bigger=more batt usage.
With a slightly bigger battery and bigger screen and resolution and higher clock speed, the One X beats Maxx in some aspects and is close to it in others... So, with 100 mAH less than the One X but smaller screen and resolution AND lower clock speed, I expect Dinc4GLTE's battery life to be as good as One X and may be better in some scenarios. So, i.e. it may beat Razr Maxx by a bigger margin than One X in some scenarios and close the gap even more or overtake in others...

I wonder what 3rd party upgrades will be available for the battery. How many mAh can we fit in the same size? A little extra cushion is always nice.

I'm hoping for the same thing, I loved the slim extended capacity battery for my DInc and I'm hoping Seidio can get the same thing going for this.

I've looked, but can't really find one. Do any of you all know when or if an extended battery will be available? I had one on my original Evo but now I'm just lost. =]]
I think the battery life is way better than the Evo 4g. It comes with a 1730mah battery so it's pretty good. I've been running it all day just about the same as my old 4g and the battery life feels about double what I would of got.
coming soon.

I never go for the cheap ebay batts.
Might take more time since constructing a new back for this phone seems like alot more work with it wrapping around the sides and buttons being included

Oh great, another rip-off overrated seidio battery. Whats this one really going to be? 1680mAh? When are people going to learn you cannot cram more mAh into the same form factor. If it was possible, HTC would do it with the stock battery. The only way to get more mAh is with more size. No offense to tide88, I'm just really fed up with this company and their lies.

It's not double for me, but it's about 10% more. So right as it should be. I got about 24-26 hours with the Evo 4g, I'm getting about 28-30 with the 3d.

That one is not the same size as the original, it's larger and requires a special cover.
However, this one is supposed to be larger and sill fit in under the original door http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi19hev3d.htm
However, unless it's a different type of battery (like a Li-Po), it's not physically possible to get more Ah out of the same area.
different cells can give a little more power.
and yes, the super size - does require a different back, had it for my evo 4g, and i could listen to pandora radio all day at work, for 8 hrs, and still be 50% battery after.
i cant wait for it to come out, yes it will be big, but last all day.

Same here... no picture posted yet, but i am sure it is going to be a very big one indeed.
It says it is 2.5 times more powerful than the original.
Though could be very indispensable for summer travellings and countryside picknicks far from civilization, but still to enjoy connected and secure feeling
Well, the 1900 mah one works great so far. It's quite possible that it will work as advertised.
Dang I'd buy it if it were in stock

The OEM Extended battery is big enough and I believe that was 2700mAh? I couldn't imagine how monstrous this thing must be, even if they do find a way to slim it down.
I suppose they could pull it off if they punched more holes in the layers and stuffed in some silicone. They'd be able to make it nearly the same size as the original OEM battery. I just don't think battery companies are doing that yet.
That's one enormous and expensive battery there. Having the oem extended battery, I don't know if I could take a much bigger battery, but it would depends on exactly how much bigger we're talking. The oem one gets me through 98% of days with absolutely no problem. The price would have to be a major consideration as well at almost 100 dollars.

I hope Mugen comes out with a battery that lasts a full year without recharging. I would pay $45,000 for it.
I wish they wouldn't charge so much for extended batteries.

That'd definitely be useful for people like me who love to run their phone at full speed and full brightness, but aren't near a power source most of the time. I only use my extended when I know I'm going to be out for awhile since it's such a beast, I can't imagine how huge this thing is going to be!
I just put in an order for mine should be here by end of april
Are they trying to bring the bagphone back? That's gotta be ginormous.
Thanks! gonna order a 1900 as soon as they are available
I ordered a Mugen Power 1900 mAh battery from a reputable vendor on ebay. It shipped and should be here by Thursday. It was even a few bucks cheaper than what the Mugen Power website was selling. They have over 10 of them in stock, according to the listing.
I also ordered the Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery from their website. It won't ship for a few weeks since the battery is on backorder.
I hope to do some comparative tests, like I did for my old Droid Razr, as well as a video review. But that will be next month, likely.

here's to hoping it's just creatively shaped... I feel like there's a lot of unused space behind the extended battery cover that a manufacturer could take advantage of (albeit a bit costly...)
UPDATE: Mugen says 4000 mAh battery is strong enough to power your car. Details here: http://www.thatbatteryistooEffinbig.com
how does this battery compare to the normal extended battery? would it fit in the case for the extended battery?

Dunno, 4000(mugen) - 2750(oem) = 1350 advantage(almost a standard battery) ...no pictures as of yet for size, but trust me I'll post a decent review when I get it sometime either this month or next. When ever the hell they get it to me.

Edit: math is off, I've been up for 30+ hours its 1250 advantage
This IS a Rezound question.
I have a Touch Pro 2 and am getting a Rezound (can't pass up $79 from VZW right now). I've heard complaints about the Rezound's less-than-optimal battery life, but I realize complaints of that nature are relative. So, my question is:
Is the Rezound standard battery life (on a single charge) similar to, better, or worse than a Touch Pro 2's standard battery?
Clarification: I use phone, text, push e-mail, lite web (perusing news over lunch when I'm alone; let's put it this way: I currently only use between 30Mb and 50Mb per month!), listen to device-based music (mostly while in the car and on charger). I don't need multiple days on a single charge. I'm asking because I would like to order a Seidio Active case/holster to arrive simultaneously with the Rezound, but am trying to get a heads up because if I can help it, I really don't want to have to order an extended battery and extended battery case/holster, and end up lugging around a monster-sized device (can you say "transportable phone in a bag"?). Yikes!
I would say with that amount of usage you should get a days use out of it. There are a lot of people around here that get a solid 12-14 out of the standard battery. I know I can't, but I am a heavy user.
I bought an extra standard battery and a battery charger and I always make it though the day I average 2.1 hours screen on time per battery
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
On standard you'll get one day easy. I get through an average day with tons of texting, web browsing and tethering and still have battery to spare. All of this is with 2 and a half hours screen time minimum.
I have a mint TouchPro 2 in my collection.
I absolutely loved that phone but battery life wasn't one of it's strong points.
I think the Rezound standard battery is better, but I always use the extended battery that lasts forever.
Some days I still miss my Touch Pro 2.... best keyboard I have ever used on a smartphone... but Android called my name and XDAndroid wasn't cutting it.
HTC needs to release a kick ass slider on Verizon. Nuff said.
I wish they would. I miss having a phone with a qwerty. I *almost* considered the D4 because of it. But I can't stand Moto horrible DEV policy.
Thanks everyone for the replies. Based on all of your replies, I think the standard battery should suffice for my needs. I didn't think HTC would release a phone that does not have a reasonable battery life. Sure, it might not be enough for heavy use (is any battery enough?), but I figured it HAS to last at least the majority of a waking day.
I ordered the holster combo for the standard battery.
In regards to lack of a physical keyboard, I expect to be sorely disappointed in that area because I have wide fingers, and onscreen keyboards are a real challenge for me. In fact, although the best at the time, the Touch Pro 2's slide-out keyboard was difficult for me to type on at times, especially while driving. My only hope is that with such a wide screen, I might have a bit of a reprieve in landscape mode on the Rezound, but probably wishful thinking.

Me, too, but HTC is the only Android phone with sync to Outlook built in, and that's important to me (and needless to say, millions of other users!). I HATE Google because of that "conspiracy".

htc doesn't have a wide screen due to the aspect ratio. Tbolt has a wider screen.
Best thing you can do for keyboard is try swiftkey pro and swype. Try the swypes from here:
http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
They are larger on the screen than the official swype, just have to swype slower than some like.
I agree about the Touch Pro 2 having the best qwerty keypad. My last phone was a TP2. I had rocket thumbs on that thing. If it werent for the mic failing on it, id still be using it. Granted it wasnt all that fast but it served its job well. As for battery life, ummm well the Touch Pro 2 had much better battery life stock than the Rezound does. And yes, I used my TP2 heavily. I got about 8 or 9 hours on heavy use on the TP2. The Rezound, well ....the battery life is disappointing.. 2.5 - 4 hours max on heavy use, even in power saver mode and the screen backlight manually turned down to like 8%. Ive had it since December and I really want to get the extended battery. Im tired of having to plug in to chargers 2 or 3 times a day. Its ridiculous.
Wow, I can't believe the battery life is so short on this thing. Like I said, I am usually in a position to plug in often enough, but I can see why an extended battery would be handy. But, I wonder how thick this thing would become then. Right now, I have the Seidio Active Case and Holster Combo. Compared to the TP2, also fitted with a Seidio case, my Rezound is only about 1/4" thinner than the TP2. Anyone have a pic of a Rezound with an extended battery fitted with a Seidio Extended Active Case?
Edit: Never mind, there is no such thing!
I'm keeping an eye out for the availability of some power jacket extended battery packs.
Below are a couple of examples of solutions that are available for the standard Xperia Z.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bearcXdXdAc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6rE0Z0yczws
The first one is a generic Chinease one that is about availiable on ebay for about $25
The second one is the official mugen one that has recently come out.
Personally I think I prefer the cheep Chinese one. Anyway its all academic at the moment because there are no solutions out yet for the Ultra. Its pretty new out mind so I suspect that when the LTE models launch globally we will see such solutions. :good:
Would you consider using such a solution for your Ultra?
These stuffs does give the phone some extra weight, some may like it for easier handling due to it having more weight but kinds of defeats the purpose of the ZU design.
I'm currently using a 15000mAh powerbank with 2.1A and 1A output options.

You're talking to a man who has a 9000mAH Zerolemon battery on his Note 2
Each to his own of course but my personal preference is to have a powerjacket attached to the device rather than carry around a separate power bank.

Haha no worries, I owned one of the powerjackets for my Note 2 or was it S3, I'm fine with it but just speaking out generally since many users are going for thinner and thinner designs
I generally don't mind added thickness and weight, phones these days are going so thin and light, it makes me feel insecure holding them lol.

I was kind of excited when you posted this thread but when I saw the battery capacity and I went "mehhhh"
Cos anything equal to or less than the phone's own capacity.. is a little on the low side. Most of the time we will use the phone and use the power jack at the same time, which means even if it's equal to the phone's 3000mAh it would probably be able to charge it from 1% to say 50% only. Still useful in emergency times (beggars can't be choosers) but like you said, maybe 4000-5000mAh may be a better option considering these cheap China makes usually overstate their capacity and the battery degrades rather fast too.

Curious if anyone knows of a lower capacity battery for the N3 or a compatible battery from a different phone? I'm coming from a GS4, and the extra weight of the Note is unwelcome, so I figure I could shave some weight off if I could find a smaller battery. I'm rarely away from a charger long enough for battery life to matter. Considering the 2600mAh of the S4 was roughly double what I need 95% of the time, it would be awesome if there were a compatible battery in the 1200-2000mAh range for the Note3. Doubtful such a thing exists, but maybe someone here knows otherwise? A Note3 with weight comparable to the S4 would be really sweet.
Thanks!

You are the very first to look for a lower capacity battery.... there are loads on ebay, though they may not be lighter. Just look for Note 3 third party battery on ebay which states their capacity as the same as the original. I am sure their capacity will be less.
This is a very light phone, if you think it's heavy try the new HTC one and think again. Even if you replace the battery with a smaller one, the difference will be negligible. Very negligible.

Funny, I found this post right after posting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481389
This is exactly what I'm seeking: a smaller battery from a different device that is electrically compatible with the Note3. I was never able to find one that fit my S4. The 1750mAh one in the above post would shave about 2/3 an ounce off the Note, bringing it nearly to S5 weight. I do realize the Note is by far the lightest phone at anywhere near the screen size, but it is still about 30% heavier than my S4 - which is also the lightest 5" phone. I usually carry my phone in a shirt pocket, where the extra weight is more noticeable than in pants pockets. Two-thirds of an ounce would definitely be noticeable. Could also be the difference in whether a phone breaks when dropped, due to less mass during impact.

Keep in mind there is a 0.1V difference... this means nothing in terms of larger devices but we are talking cell phones here... smaller device... you will have to test it for a while... see how your device is effected. Either your battery will take the hit or the phone. The user who tried this reported longer use then he got from his Nexus phone but who knows.
Thanks, SladeZero. If I get the Note3 (most likely will) I will look for smaller batteries with the same 3.8v as the Note. Hopefully these exist and are OK to use. :laugh:
