That's what I'm using!

I just got this exact battery 2 days ago and according to the reviews..after 5 full cycles it kicks in for the long battery life...so far it is getting longer and longer between charges for power but nothing to really write about...just wish there was a case and a holster for it because I really hate to put it in my pocket. When it was in my pocket my girl said is that a evo in your pocket or are you happy to see me...

lol i have big pockets... might be time to upgrade your jeans

so how much screen on time and voice time did you have for it to get down to 79%?
edit: also the price on amazon says 25? has it risen since you bought it?

The screenshot shows my usage, the screen was on for more than 37% of the time thoug,, about 70% of the time. MIUI has already had trouble displaying the actual screen usage. I got the phone thru that link though, when I clicked the link there was "other people also bought this item" and it showed the same battery for a little less. Total cost was $18 with taxes and shipping

oh miui does not display actual screen usage time? does that mean when you press display the time that it shows there is wrong? anyway i always thought that the % meant % of battery used of total battery usage as opposed % of time used since unplugged.
I'm considering buying another extended since the chinese one i got doesnt give me quite the extended battery life i desire. it was only maybe a 30% improvement as opposed to a 70-100% improvement that I'm looking for over the stock.

You talked me into it...just ordered!

If that had a holster id be on it

Yeah, miui has two parts. The first is total usage since you restarted. The second is total usage since you last charged the batter battery above 90%.

I think you may be expecting too much of an improvement. You can still run down the battery extremely quick under heavy usage

runs good, definitely an improvement over stock, doubt it's afull 3500, might only be 3000 but that's still lots, can go 2 days if i dont use the phone much, or 6 hrs if I try real hard to drain it

lmao.... there is definitely an improvement in battery life that's for sure but 70-100% may be asking for too much

haha i just thought since the extended has like 2800mah it should be double? i dont really understand the technical stuff with the mah's so i'm probably wrong. i never had a problem with my stock battery. its just nice to come home at 70% or 60% rather than at 30 or 40%

I cant believe how fast I received it... ordered Tuesday morning and got it yesterday. I'm going to give it the test today at work. I have been streaming radio on shoutcast with my old battery and will see how this one does although I see where some have said you have to condition the battery first before you will get maximum life....can anyone vouch for this?

23 1/2 hours on single charge

I just got me Evo two days ago, and flashed DamageControl's rom. I don't live in a 4G area, so I have that shut off. I generally don't turn on WiFi or GPS unless I'm actually using them. I did have wifi on a few times yesterday, but for a total of no more than 45 minutes. I have three email accounts, two that update as soon as mail comes in, and one that checks every hour. My corporate and google contacts sync as well as both calendars. I have facebook syncing in the background as well.
I did a decent amount of emailing and some web browsing. Even with all that I went 23 hours and 36 minutes before the battery went red and it told me to charge it.
I was worried with all the horror stories I heard, but that was pretty incredible battery life for my average use of the phone.
Is your battery completely covered in the orange HTC wrapping or does it have spots on the back where you can see the silver underneath?
It looks like it's completely covered. Although I would say it's red not orange. I couldn't tell you which batch it came in as I got it off of Craigslist.

People have reported that battery is better than the ones that aren't completely covered.
I too have the all red wrapper battery, did a 8 hour charge with the phone off prior to this picture.

I did jack **** with mine and was able to squeeze out 28 hours
I usually average 2 days on a charge, usually at least 35 straight hours. Having a second backup battery gives me more than 3 full days.
I think most of the problem lies in how the phone charges the battery; usually it doesn't charge the battery to 100%, but it thinks it has. Some days I get 5 hours out of my phone and other's 12 to 15.
I've tried every tweak I can find and run fresh 1.0.1, too.
I think I'm going to have to buy that 2 batteries and charger for the HD2 on ebay for $10; anybody have that link?

Drocap2 works excellent
I am relatively certain the Evo battery has a break-in period. My first week owning the device I was running:
Voice
SMSPopup
Push Gmail
Push Exchange
3G on / WiFi off
Did some gaming, light browsing, lot of texting, moderate usage over the course of a day.
I got about 8 hours tops before the battery died. That was with the screen brightness at HTC's "medium" level.
Yesterday, I had the same running in the background, did the same things except I also read a bunch using the Kindle app, and used GPS a bit, and I was at 60% after 26 hours off the charger. No special "tricks" like task killers (ew!) or underclocking hacks or startup killers or anything.
Huh...I am not where near getting that much. About to start my fourth week with phone and still in the 12-14 hours.
Are you all doing the charging routine or just plugging in? If I just plug in I definitely only get to about 10pm. If I do the charging routine I can get still have about 30% by evening.
Was someone having issues with the battery life on the Evo??? Cause I'm not.

My Battery Life WOW! *Pic for Proof*

Using Myn's ROM with the Battery Tweak, I have FaceBook syncing and I have 2 gmail accounts syncing along with Weather every 3 hours, Facebook every 2 hours.
Nothing else as of now and using Itching Thumb App.

Not needed. From the pic he attached it's obvious the phone was in standby most of the time.
Man, you even use ya phone?
What is with this obsession of battery life goin on 'round here? I say, as long as you can get better battery life than a stock rom, you've won. Keeping the phone on for a day or two without charging seems like a good idea, but everyday isn't the same, and one day you may need to use it way more than any other day..if you start that day off with only 30% just because you wanted to see how long your battery would last, then you really gotta limit how often you use your phone just so that it can make it till the next time your around a charger.

The battery needs to be charged? I bought my phone back in June. The battery is now at 70%. I figured I just had to buy a new one when this one runs out.
Barely used phone. Come on.
Display 4%? Is that possible?
I can go a full day and a half, 36 hours, without a charge and I am using the original sense android... and I use my phone normally, I text, read usatoday, tmz, check email a few times, use the xda app... and I have wifi on all the time! What's this beef with battery life on these forums? Mine lasts forever! I just have things update manually, I don't let anything run without my permission.
I do, however, turn my phone off the 6 hours I am sleeping.
wifi is on = low battery usage, atleast in my experience.
Indeed. I got 1 day and 19 hours on stock nonrooted 2.2 back. and i used it for some medium texting. and some gps applications...maybe 2-3 hours max awake time. i dont think you used it much...the excessive 3G usage from FB doesnt mean anything.

According to mine, it's 122 min of screen on usage.
I had this scenario on my phone running myn's rls2 + king cfs #11 yesterday:
since unplugged - 24 hours
display on - 1 hour 25 minutes
charge remaining - 50%.
so i wanted to find out how long the battery would last on standby, and to my surprise.. it turned out to be nearly 58 hrs!!! that was on stock sense rom. non-rooted. and of course with very very minimal use. i basically just left the phone alone on my desk or in my pocket all day.
here is the screenshot i took back in july:
but that kind of battery life is unrealistic with normal usage. I am a moderate user (on the higher side), and i typically put my evo on charge everyday in the morning when i get to work (on weekdays). so, the charge on my phone lasts about 25 hrs with normal usage, that usually means about 4-5hrs of Awake Time. this is after rooting the phone. and i am using a stock rooted sense rom. i have had similar results before rooting the phone as well.
on weekends, i find myself charging the phone about 3 times (over 2 days), as the usage of the phone goes very very high.
i have a charger on my desk at work for the weekday charging, and a charger in my car for the weekends.
i have recently installed setCPU, and havent really seen that making too much of a difference, but that perhaps has to do with my usage pattern.
as pointed out in many a threads, signal strength is one major factor when it comes to battery drain. i live in Atlanta and i have great Sprint coverage where I am located, and that makes a world of difference.

it would help if you indicate the battery life that you were getting on stock or any other rom you were using prior to this. because there are so many variables that come into play as far as battery life is concerned. so that will help put your claim into some perspective

If it was only one of the 1750mah batterys then you really should've done a bit more research, 3rd party batteries typically only have ~80% of the capacity they are rated at giving you ~1400mah or quite a bit less than the stock battery.

I've never had any issue with battery life with my epic. I charge it every ngiht and it's good to go.
I like my Seidio 3300 mah battery a lot. It allows me to stream for several hours along with my normal usage (a call, couple of txt, beluga, facebook, & tapatalk). Did you let it sit fully charged for a few additional hours on the initial charge?
Its gingerbread, not the battery.

Give it a chance. If I remember right, first charge kinda sucks, but 2nd and third improve a lot.

Good, back to 2.2 I go
Fyi I'm on acs rom 2.2 and the seido isn't impressive. It absolutely wouldn't last a full day with 4g on much less just 3g with pandora etc. I did all the charging etc etc. Only reason I sprang for the seido is bc sprint paid for it. Maybe I would of done the yao bao batt but honestly I don't think it matters. I have set cpu to 200-800 and never with this phone has the battery been amazing with any rom or any kernal. Just the nature of the beast.

This is from a normal usage of my phone. As you can see from the graph the last few hours were me connected to wi-fi constantly, tweeting, fiddling and browsing forums. Yes a quick drain but this is a phone!
My point of this post is compare this to tablets and netbooks. The majority last 6 hours, tops. The SGS II is a dual core, amoled phone. It was always going to be a beast on the battery. However if you use it wisely, ie only have Wi-Fi on when necessary, the phone lasts as this phone should.
It out performs most tablets and for the relative size of both screen and battery I would say that's hugely impressive.
Looking forward to your comments.

Your post is refreshing because of the following:
1) Clearly shows the display is the biggest drainer of battery. Anything else means you simply didn't setup your phone right or have some rogue app chewing stuff up.
2) You're not going bonkers with "OMFG my phone only lost 0% over 4 hours" and then post a graph that shows the screen was on for 2 seconds. Uh, well... duh! Completely stupid and pointless, glad your graph actually reflects real usage and battery drain.

now im gonna say this,
you people really shouldnt compare battery time like tht. Its the screen on time you should compare!! its far more accurate than this. i can get around 3h of constat use and connected to wifi. this is screen on time.
what's average screen time in hours for most users? i've been reading about 4 hours plus or minus 1. 8 hours is unreasonable on one charge? i like to read books so i am wondering about this. i highly anticipate this phone but the n9 kind of looks hot too if the rumor is true alien dalvik allows android apps on meego.
So what? You kinda never used your phone. Surf the internet connected via 3g and come back to tell me
So you use your phone less than my grandma and hardly get two days out of the battery?
Great, that's nothing to be proud of.
With this usage my Omnia7 lasted for a week but the SGSII drains harder than my kitchen sink.
I noticed light consumes unusually lot of power too .. I recommend not using it as torch. White screen works just as fine for me (in total darkness). It seems they put in even stronger LED then in previous models .. and it better be used just for the moment as photographic flash. Battery voltage drops significantly .. and it slowly returns after the LED is turned off .. which means it's really strained a lot.
I bet i can get 2 days of battery in the way you used your phone. Screen was rarely on, so you just showed us that you can get a day and a half of stand-by.
At the risk of being accused of grandma phone usage im actually fairly happy.. The wifi sharing thing is a ***** so axed that.

I'm getting pretty good battery life aswell with stock kf2. The only thing I did is deleting some of he crappy samsung apps and froze wifi sharing. I get about 2 days of battery with normal use. And yes i do use the phone in these 2 days.

1 Day 10 Hrs (34 hrs) Battery Life

First things first: A BIG thank you to all of the devs still working on the Epic. This phone is not that old and I still think (because of the keyboard) it's a great phone that I'll enjoy for all of the 2 years I'll have with it. Fortunately, there are others who think this, too and put in the time and effort to make this already great phone better for FREE. I'm not a developer, but I do know it takes a lot of time/dedication to accomplish what they have. So thank you to all of the developers (present & past) for the Samsung Epic 4g
Hello, I'm a lurker none of you know but would like to share my results dealing with battery life on EH06
This is the best battery life I've ever gotten and I have no doubt that I could've reached 1 Day 12 Hrs (36 Hrs) of battery life. A day and a half, I guess I should've waited and let it run out, but my impatience got the best of me.
What I did was flash crawj's EH06 deodexed .tar
I flashed theduce102's (EH06) Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1
I then flashed deano0714's Sculpted v2
I was using the EH06 Modem
Auto-Sync was left on the entire time. Twitter/Facebook sync every 4 hours, contact sync left on.
Brightness left on "auto"
Wifi is left on always, at least until I was out of range.
Personally, I highly recommend juice defender. It'll turn off your data when the screen is not in use which saves a LOT of battery. Sure you could turn it on and off yourself but it's just much easier to use juice defender and have the data turned on for 30s/1min then left off for 30 minutes. 30 minutes is the max for the free version, but I still find it useful.
Take into consideration that I did NOT use my phone a lot.
My usage consisted of about 5 texts/hr, few downloaded apps/updates, few email checks, couple hours of listening to music, 20 minutes on Dolphin Browser HD.
If there's anything else you want to know about my setup, let me know and I'll update the OP.
The colors in the pics are inverted, most likely because of the screen cap app I used

I also got 35+ hrs on EH06 deodexed with the EH06 plus kernel. It was pretty amazing... Didn't take any screenshots though...
A year ago on Eclair it lasted 2.5 days. Complete stock, no root.
this is all nice but I've kinda never understood the point in having a smartphone if you're going to have data shut off the majority of the time. of course most battery life is demanded by data - I'm willing to bet I could get several days of battery life from any build if I put my phone into airplane mode all day but what's the point?

I feel the same way. I used to be obsessed with keeping my data off as much as possible. Then I realized....what's the point. The whole purpose of having a smartphone is to be connected all the time. I say keep your data on and use your device how its meant to be and enjoy it.

yes. plus where are these people that they can't access a wall socket or power cable for days at a time? I can get 14-16 hours with moderate usage by leaving everything turned on. then when I'm home where all those power sources are, I, you know, plug the damn thing in.
What's ridiculous is that these people never made or received a single phone call in 1 to 2 days. WTF? Why did you buy a phone? Go get yourself a Palm Pilot.

I hear ya. I usually get between 10-12 hrs of moderate to heavy use. If your that worried about it bring an extra battery with you. Shoot I carry or have quick access to an extra battery and a charging cable most places I go. I usually don't have to use it, but its there in case I need it.
@OP, were not trying to derail your achieving over a day of battery life, that's sweet that you can get that. I'm just questioning the usefulness of said achievment.

And screen on time....sorry OP but what was the screen on time. Maybe a little over an hour? I saw a lot of gaps on chart.
Having said all of that, that is still pretty good standby time for a GB leak. I've gotten 1 day plus 3 hrs with everything running before. But that's with srf 1.2 and with hardly any use...plus wifi.

I like this post I had my phone shut off on my yesterday at 4pm and it was full at 8am when i took it off the charger. Didnt do much of anything it somehow jumped from 50 to 25 all by itself. Im on genocide 1.1 and srf 1.2
