Not impressed with 60 Dollar seido "extended" battery.. - Epic 4G General

I sure hope this fairs better in the next week or two. I hardly used the phone, streamed about 30 mins of slacker.com and didn't make more than 10 phone calls and 2 texts.

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.

it was a 3300 mah 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.

It seemed weird that the screen wasn't #1 on the list like it usually is. I guess I'll be flashing back to 2.2 tomorrow.

yes, it was on the charger alllllllllllllll night for the first charge.

Should have gotten the $20 one from Ebay. Works just as good as the Seido.

No it absolutely doesn't.
The 20 dollar one on ebay constantly goes to "low battery" dies and then when you reboot the phone it has 40+ % battery left. That thing is junk!

Not the one I got. From a US seller with extra data cable and extended back was like $23 and it does double what the stock battery does. Got 1 for each of my 2 phones. I can get you the link if you want.

This is the good one:

What are you talking about? I bought mine for like 14 dollars and its been rock solid for months without a single one of those things ever happening. I also started a thread in the accessory section which has been there for months and not one person has posted issues like that.

You probably should have went with the $20 Yoo Bao 2800mah. I get over 24 hours with 3g on all day and more usage than you.

Got my 3500 battery for about 10 bucks. Lasted about 17 hours with 40% left before I charged it on monday.

I get well over 24 hours with my Seidio 3300, without turning off Wifi, or doing any special techniques to save battery.
Give it a chance. If I remember right, first charge kinda sucks, but 2nd and third improve a lot.

The 2.3 leak is HORRIBLE on battery life. There are complaints of CPU usage constantly, plus we don't know what processes can be killed yet.

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.

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

- No setCPU, but kernel has one built in.
- No bump charging.
- Light use, I purposely tried to not use it too much just because I was curious how long it could make it (like if I were ever stuck somewhere without a charger, knowing how long my phone could last if I did not constantly stay on it).
~ 1.5 hours of 3G pandora
~45 mins of texting
~30 mins phone calls
~20 minutes of 'My Tracks' app
~15 mins GPS navigation
~10 mins angry birds (tehehe, couldn't resist)
3G, GPS and location were ON entire time.
Thought I'd share
since skyraider is a sense rom you can use that kernel?
i thought incredikernal was AOSP?
edit:
i'm retarded.
was thinking of the new incredikernal. fail on my part!
invisiblek is AOSP, incredikernel is Sense
(actually chad aka incredikernel is starting to develop some new GingerBread AOSP kernels)
Wanted to subscribe, forgot to!
To what do you attribute the most battery life to?
o 2150 mah battery?
o Kernel?
o Skyraider?

2150mAh definitely, Kernel next and Skyraider after that. I saw noticeable improvements when I used Sky Raider over stock, and used chad's incredikenel over stock so I feel they have significant improvements on battery life for sure.
With screen off I'll get about 1.5 hours per %, with screen on and doing things it's completely different.
Much of this test was to see how long it would last with screen off and with those services (like 3G) running.
Very impressive. Don't think I can go over 24 hours with stock battery, CM7 and incredikernel.
I think I can get 24 hours, with reasonable use. I use juice defender which REALLY helps a lot - at least in my life.

the 2150 makes the phone so ugly and disfigured I couldnt use it. I am running SR3.5 but I get great batt life with Lou #8 kernel and the 1800mah Inc/Evo batt.
Unfortunately battery problems will be around for a while, did you hear the rumors about the T-bolt batt? LOL, 3 totals hours on a full charge! These "phones" or whatever you want to call them are so powerful and do so many different things its hard to design a strong battery at that size. Phone management is crucial.
thats impressive, im still using my stock battery and I'm tired of worrying about it dying and bump charging

I too got some crazy long battery life on Skyraider 3.5. Only reason I left was because ihtfp is no longer supporting them. When I tried MIUI for the 3rd time I really got into it (using LP) but I haven't been able to reproduce that awesome battery life I had on SR... Yet, at least.
I also dearly miss the Awake Time stat. All aosp roms should have that.

With a case on it, it's really not bad looking at all. Looks pretty sweet, and have gotten a couple of compliments on it
I got my case from here:

Without the case I'll admit it looks a bit weird though not that bad.
And about the thunderbolt only lasting 3 hours?
lul cakes, I read this:

I thought HTC would have learned from the incredible that they seriously need to upgrade the battery. I hope they do a full redesign where they stick just a long battery down the entire back of the phone so people don't have to get extended batteries that bulge out.

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!

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%.

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?

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...

Awesome news

I just scored a 1650 mAh battery from a galaxy s 4g for my epic. I'm loving the battery boost.

Thats a 10% boost in power. Not that bad if it works. Wonder how much the OEM 1650's will sell for. If its more than like 15 dollars, which it will be, then I prob wont buy one.

Not likely, the cheapo batteries usually are ~1200mah batteries with a different sticker on them.

Who said anything about a cheapo battery. He said he scored a 1650mah from the Galaxy S 4g. I assume that to mean he got ahold of one of the OEM batteries for that phone.

That would be a cheapo 3500mah battery which in reality is like 2400-2600mah.

Yes, he owned me by first quoting part of my comment and then later saying he was referring to a different part of my comment. I am so ashamed.

I have a 3500mah battery that gives me 40hrs and still have about 30% left. What's there to hooray about an extra 150mah?

And it hasn't exploded yet! I don't think I could do it though. It's all about upgrading to save battery life for me now. Don't really wanna crush the hobby.

Well cant go into details really but Someone I know was returning the phone(gs4g) , got it a day earlier so I did a switcharoo with the batteries. The batteries are identical in size the only way to tell it is a different one is the extra 150mAh.
I am seeing a noticeable boost in battery life, I can now keep 4g on all day and use the apps pretty heavily without worrying about the battery level. It does take a bit longer to charge the battery fully, but I'll trade that for more phone time any day.
I have the sedio 3300mah battery, don't mind the size but it takes forever to recharge. I got the samsung charger, and fr me its better to just swap battery's.
After reading the I'm try to pick up the 1650mah battery. Thanks for the heads up

It will increase stock battery life by about 10% while being able to use the same back. The 3500mah battery is really only like 2400-2600mah while the 1650 mah battery will really be like 1600mah. To people who dont want a fatter phone or who use the docks, it would be a good deal if the 1650mah was pretty cheap. To people like me who have the "3500mah" battery, doesn't make much sense unless its REAAAAL cheap.
