=>Sprint's new 2600mah battery<= screen shot - EVO 4G General

This is the battery life I got on Sprint's new Evo 2600mah extended battery with medium use. This was taken with 5% left on the battery.

Nice... i cant sacrifice the size for it though

Have you found a cover for the Evo with the extended back.

Seido makes a case but its really pricey.

yea not worth the increased size imho still nice battery life

No I have not found a case.
The battery is not something I would want to use on a daily basis but for traveling or if your going to be without a charger for an extended period of time it will be nice.

I always keep a backup battery in my wallet, heh. I bought the 1800mAh battery from htcexpress that is said to last longer than the original, and you don't need another back.

I have the 3500 battery (for about 6 weeks now) and I don't notice the bigger back. It actually makes the phone feel better in my hand. The extra battery life is great. I don't use any kind of case or screen protector anymore. The phoneis doing just fine.

Same here, I was skeptical at first, but I like being able to actually use my phone. The extra bulk isn't bad.

what's the highest mAh i can get with stock back cover.

i believe 2200, but not sure... i know there is an 1800....

1800 for sure any more and the battery manufacturer might start stretching the truth about the actual mah especially if its a china battery.

Looks like someone has got 2000mah in stock size, haven't tried it yet, anyone?

I have an 1800mah chinese battery... I'd say its about 1% better than the factory evo battery. Blah

Stop complaining about a bigger back if u havent actually felt it IN HAND. Bigger battery back feels GREAT and makes the phone more manly. As adam carolla would say "in 50 years we'll all be chicks"! (no to mention the black on white on black looks sooooo sweet on my white evo!

I switched back to my standard battery today and it was at 50% about a 1/3 through the day.

Yeah, the Sprint extended battery is great. It's a Li-Polymer.

Li-Polymer would be horrible with a device that requires much charging...

battery life

Anybody heard anything yet about what the battery life is supposed to be like with this phone? I know when I came from the TP to the hero my increase in battery life was like night and day. I am wondering since this has a fast processor and more memory if the battery life will be less than the hero. It just seems to be a waste to have a phone with these kind of features only to be crippled by low battery life. I hope it isn't.

It is more than likely be less than the hero, it has the same size battery mah wise as the hero but the voltage req will probally be slightly higher, so that will mean larger physical size. As far as run time, 4g sucks more juice than 3G, snapdragon at full speed 1ghz sucks more down than the 528 MHz in the hero and the bigger physical screen will also need more power than the smaller hero screen, they both use LCD as apposed to amoled which is amazingly good on your battery. They could and probaly should have went with amoled in my opinion.
I can only speculate but the stock 1500mah battery will probally see an 3600 mah extended battery from seidio about 3-4 months after release, about double the physical size of stock battery and extended back protruding 2-3 mm from the back of the current thickness. The evo is a rather thin phone comparatively so that shouldn't effect it. They usually run around 60-70 usd.
I will definitely be getting one if what I believe is correct, but the only potential problem will be the kickstand, I'm currious as how hay are going to overcome that obstacle. My guess is you will have to sacrifice it like some other phones like the palm pre extended battery that made you get rid of the touchstone functionality. They are good at molding compatible plastic moldings, and great at the batteries themselves, but not so good at engineering anything else into it.
i am going to have to agree with the post above...
same battery cap as the Hero, but with everything bigger and needing more power to function...guessing there will be a lot of people that will be complaining about the battery life (including me!).
I think HTC needs to reconsider this before they release this phone to the market. I am sure they can put 1800-2000mah battery in there.
since we are comparing HERO and EVO... and that we know they will have the same kind of screen...
The Hero's screen is very tough and scratch resistant. I have seen and tested the durability of the screen and I love it!!!
Will the EVO's screen have they same awesome tough screen??

yes it should, the hd2 has the same screen, and it's basically a hardware clone of that phone, very nice and tough. HTC has done very wise in going with the tempered glass, costs more, but definitely worth the added cost.
I heard the moto droid has an even tougher screen with their "gorilla glass" technology. I haven't seen one first hand so I can't compare, but after 2 face first drops from waist height with no screen protector, the hero's screen is as nice as the day I got it. I'm hopeing I can say the same for the evo once I get it, but I'm fairly confident it will.
hd2 tough screen video
There's a video out there somewhere of a guy hammering his hd2 screen with a key and not a scratch.
hd2 extended battery actually gave it the kick stand. I imagine the an evo extended battery will have one too.
I wonder if it will stand up on its own in the portrait orientation like my Mogul does (it has sort of a foot). Doesn't look like it from the pictures.

No, but it does look like the kickstand might work with EVO in portrait or landscape orientation. We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on it.
Hero Battery life is crap.
On my Hero, I get about 3/4 a day's worth of battery... but that might because I am running rooted 2.1 on the device that is not optimized for my phone, but as long as the phone can get me through one full day on the device, I will be fine.

Lol, people act amazed every time they see this done to a glass screen, and it makes me wonder just what they're being taught in science class these days. Glass is harder than the metal your keys are made from so of course it won't scratch. Same thing with razor blades and pretty much any other metal they throw it at in videos like these. What they don't show you is that sand will still tear your screen a new arsehole. Unless you live somewhere absolutely devoid of sand, this phone is still going to need a protector or a slip case.
I've never had problems with my screen getting scratched without a protector. Back on topic though I'm a little worried about the evo's battery life. I get great life on my hero but with all the added goodies I know the evo will get far less. Fortunately I'm rarely without a power source so unless it's totally horrible I'll deal with it.
Evo without 4G?
I live in an area without WiMax (for now), so do you guys think that if I don't have the WiMax radio on it will get at least a days worth of battery?
I read the Touch Pro 2 Battery will work on the EVO anyone know if that's true? I don't remember if numbers of it but I am wanting to say 1400 and i have an extra one that's less..

The EVO uses a RHOD160 1500mAH battery... The battery commonly found in the TP2, I believe.

Not having WiMax or having WiMax will have no significant impact on battery life at all. I have no idea what your phone use habits are so it would be hard to say if you'd get a day out of it or not.
Thanks, So even my generic extra would work then?

Technically speaking, if you were to turn the WiMAX antennas off, you would increase battery life. The Evo offers the ability to connect to 4G and if not, then 3G... OR... Just 3G, thus turning the WiMAX antennas off.
Will this increase it significantly? Can't really tell you much yet.

As long as your extra is a RHOD160 1500 mAh, you should be fine -- no worries.

If you turned your 4G radio off your 3G radio would take over and I don't see a significant improvement there, now if you turned all data radios off you would definitely see an improvement but at what cost? You'd basically be carrying around a phone with no data capabilities.
I am not sure about the battery. I thought the touch pro 2 battery was the one that works in the hero. It would be surprising to find the hero battery working in the EVO although I would not complain.

you can specify what type of connection in the stock image of sprint android devices. You can tell it 1x or evdo or auto, I would venture to guess they will have a similar option to disable 4g in areas it's not available in.

I think that turning the 4g radio off in areas with no 4g rather then leave it on would help battery life, thus it wouldn't be looking for a 4g network all the time
My one that came with the phone says RHOD160 1500 MAH . The generic one says 1400 mAh 3.7 V. And under the ID number it says HTC with numbers and letters. So will 1400 not work? Reason I am asking is one extra battery is all I will really need. I have this cradle that charges the extra battery now while my Touch Pro 2 is in the cradle/ But my friend is getting the same phone switching from a BB Tour. I said oh I don't need 2 extra batteries I'll give you one of mine which of course was going to be the generic one. But then I thought about buying back my phone to Sprint when I get the EVO which is 82 bucks. Almost as much as selling it for a 100.. So I don't know what to do yet..

I am using the HTC 2150mah and I would definitely say it's worth it.
Sent from my ADR6300
I use a potato with zinc and copper wires.
I have a 1500mah HTC battery and the 2150. I think the 2150 is worth it. The central hump on the battery cover is extended about the size of the stock battery out. I'd be lying to say it doesn't look a *little* weird at first but it's really not bad after you get used to it. The battery life is much better though so it's of course a trade off. I didn't experience much of any improvement with the 1500 battery but I didn't use it for too long.
2150mah
+1 on the 2150. I own the stock battery, the 17xxmah (I forget), and the 2150mah. I went through a period of going between the 17 and the 21. I finally settled on the 21.
It give it a little more bulk but I find that the phone is very easy to hold with the bump since the back of you thumb is on one side and palm on the other.
I popped a 3000 mah in mine and love it. Little thicker but it doesn't bother me at all.

I have the 3500, a 1500, a 2150 (which I gave my wife) and I bought 2 EVO 1800 which should be here tomorrow.
The 1500 is fairly good and worth the 10 bucks you can get it for.
The 2150 is not worth it IMO only because for not much more you can get the 3500.
The 3500 is definitely worth it if you can stand the bigger size.
I will come back and comment on the 1800's next week after I play with them a few days.

Who makes the 1800 batteries?
I got the HTC OEM 1500mah battery (used for another HTC phone but fits our Incs) on ebay from the seller bidallies. It was $14 and provides an excellent bump over the 1300mah stock Inc battery. It out performs the Seidio 1750mah battery that I handed down to my wifes Eris.
Best part about the 1500mah is that it does not change the size of your phone. I like the Inc in it's orig slim form factor. I tried the 2150 and while battery life was great I just could not get used to the thickness and added weight

IMHO the 1750 from Seidio is complete crap. The stock battery lasts longer for me. Someone had a good link showing some tests that demonstrated that the "1750" was really not that capacity.
I am definitely interested in the 1800mAh battery and would like to hear how it works out. I have to carry both batteries to make it through a day with heavy usage. I'd love to just feel comfortable starting a day with a full charge and knowing I would make it back home at night with a little reserve left in the battery.

Has anyone seen battery life improvement with a Seidio battery?

Was thinking about getting the Seidio Innocell 1600mAh Slim Extended Life Battery. Wanted to know if anyone thought it was worth it?
I just ordered mine last night after Froyo killed my battery life. I'll keep you updated how it works when I get it
Ok thanks, please do. Looking to get it for exact same reason.
100mah isn't worth getting another battery, IMO, unless you just want a second battery. that's such an insignificant amount of additional stored energy, I doubt you will see much improvement, unless your current battery was starting to fail.
just my 2 cents.
Just got my Seidio in the mail yesterday. It is slightly larger than the stock battery and the rear cover is a little tougher to get on. When I say tougher i mean you just have to move around the phone and snap in every section with your fingers. If you stare hard enough, you can see a slight bulge where the battery is. As far as the battery life, so far it's only been on a couple hours in the morning and does seem slightly better. It seems like it might be about 5% better than it was before. They also say that it should get a little better after 5-6 charges so we will see. I doubt I will see a huge increase, but when your battery sucks, every little bit helps
I got the seidio 3000mah battery and love it!! The back plate isn't bad at all (proportional wise) and it gives me a good 2 solid 10 hour days of heavy data/phone use without the need to charge.

LG is an Idiot.

Our phones are not inefficient. No not at all. If you think about it, on a 3000 mah battery we get good battery life compared to other phones with the same or bigger battery. But here is my gripe, and it pisses me the hell off. The G2 had a 5.2 inch 1080p display with a 3000 mah battery. Now how the heck can LG be dumb enough to not upgrade the battery when they stretched the screen size by .3 inches and more than doubled the resolution? Thats literally the dumbest thing ive seen come from lg. Albiet everything else is top notch on this phone, and the battery life is still pretty darn good. Its just a stupid move by lg that makes no sense whatsoever. Its like giving a mustang a gas tank the size of a 4 cylinder prius. [emoji57]

I really think its about choosing the right phone for you.
I had my LG for my first day today at work (day 3) and after 14hrs I still have 68% left. OK admittedly its been a very light day in terms of usage but today I am a happy user because I have an awesome display with a great phone with all the features that I was looking for and it was able to get through my day with a great deal of battery life left.

Their batteries also are always removable. I'm not saying they shouldn't have tried to go with a 3,200 removable. However so many people complained about the sealed in battery, they thought they were giving the people what they wanted. Their battery size technically did increase. The Korean G2 with a removable battery was 2,600 mah and now the international g3 with the removable battery is 3,000 mah. If they would have kept it embedded I'm sure the battery would have been around 3,500 mah.

Decreased frame rates when your playing a game is a problem. Its annoying and ruins the game.
Personally i'm liking the phone so far. The battery life isn't all that bad unless the screen is on most of the time. I'm actually quite surprised that the battery life is that good. My phone usually lasts me a full day even if I leave my house without it fully charged (80% or so).
But of course I have a spare battery with me just in case. Doesn't hurt to be prepared

I was thinking more like a 3500 mah in this phone. It would help allot. Yet they didnt think that they would kill 2 birds with one stone if they increased capacity and added the removable function.

I mean I would have loved more juice too, I'm just going to give them benefit of the doubt and assume, they couldnt keep the bezels as slim as they are and making the battery removable and adding microsd card slot while increasing the removable battery size more than from 2,600 to 3,000.
But i agree 3,500 would probably have been the sweet spot.
Fair enough that actually may be another reason i never thought of. Silly me.
Do you guys think a battery manufacturer might be able to produce a 3500mah battery the same size as the stock one? Its okay if it a tighter fit.
Life is about compromises for most people and sadly the same is true about our choice of phone ......

Are you not understanding the fact that it's easier and much more possible for a manufacturer to include a higher capacity battery by making it non-removable? The battery is as good as it's going to get with the current form factory and removability. And LG makes great batteries, so don't expect some eBay store to beat them. You can buy a second battery, get a portable charger, or get a new phone.

A guy on G+ in the G3 community bought a 3500mAh battery on I think Ebay. Yes it's the same size but I think when he took videos it locked or something. Personally I would never buy a cheap battery or a non LG battery for a $600 phone. That's one reason why they catch on fire.
I've owned the G2, Flex and now the G3. I think LG is doing great with the battery life, camera, and design. The Flex had great battery life with the 3,500mAh battery but is noticeable bigger then the G3.

The battery is fine,the lag and stutter is the problem.

And the sharpening
I can deal with the battery....what's unacceptable is the lag.
Its almost putting me on the verge of never buying an LG ever again.
The HTC M7 was blazing fast compared to this and made the phone a enjoyable experience.....optimize the software you F*ckwits.
I hate lag, I hate it I hate it........the saving grace which is starting to wear thin is that its so pretty to look at, that is untill I turn the thing on and the lag infuriates me again.
No problems here with battery life with my kind of use, 2 days of normal use till charge
Never ever had that with my other smartphones
:good::good::good:
Lag, lag lag...All these posts about lag. As a former Nexus 5 owner, these lag complaints are what infuriate me. Change your animations to .5, switch to ART. Install nova or another 3rd party launcher. Personally, I have the 3/32 on Sprint and I don't see the lag. Again, I'm coming from N5 so you'd think I'd notice, right? Well, I don't. I switched to nova for about a week and then I switched back to stock. With animations at .5, I think stock is just as fast. Seriously people, if the phone disgusts you that much, return it. There are plenty of others, like me, even professional phone reviewers, who think this is currently the best android device available. Also, I know you're all entitled to your opinions as am I, not trying to start a flame war here. :end rant:

Zerolemon to release battery August 30!

I'm really excited for this as my phones are usually hungry for power. And now they finally have a date. Can't wait.
What are you talking about?

zerolemon is a huge battery for all kinds of phones. I think thegalaxy s3 was like 7500mah
Whyyy?? For me this 3000mh battety is just fine! I get 4 hours screen on time.. Like 7500mah battery is way too big! I like this slim phone
They also make standard sized batteries if you just want extra. Which I do. Their extended batteries with cases are the most hideous things.
Some people don't have the chance of recharging their phones all the time or have a lot of time on their phone. I had the 10k mah on the note 3. Bulky but the case worked for the environment I worked in. 5 days without a charge!
Great news

I just ordered a 12000 mah jackery battery pack like 2 days ago......then today it comes in the mail today.....i go on facebook and zero lemon announces the 9000 mah extended battery n case!!!!!!lol wtf!
Glad to hear this! I certainly don't need the extra battery life but this is very welcomed as one can never go wrong with a bit extra battery life. Maybe now I can actually go a full two days of heavy use without charging!

Idk maybe because some people prefer to have an option of a bigger battery, you know, and maybe because its good to have a choice perhaps don't you think?
