So I got the thrive for Christmas thanks to my girl. And I been looking at the reviews talking about poor battery life on the thrive. Saying you will get 6 hours out of it well I'm on hour 10 of my 12 hour shift and its now at 14% and that's with pretty good use. Anybody else getting same or am I getting lucky.

You are getting about the same as most. It really depends on your use and it does gett better after a few charge cyles.
Great I thought so I just love the battery on this thing

I am getting pretty good battery time too, maybe bacause mine is new too. I got it the same day as you did.
That could be idk just surprised the review on cnet I believe was 6 hours but i,m happy with what battry.

I let the thing drain until it turned off, then turned it back on and drain some more then charged it while it was off when I first got it.. should I get a new battery because right now I can barely last 8 hours with set cpu and all the stuff.. Ive done many calibration things but no change..
Juiceplotter.. Moderate use

I think it's unlikely you ruined your battery but it couldn't hurt to swap it out at a Sprint store, I'm sure they would do that for you
Is it free?

If you have insurance, yes
Ill just buy one. Thx

Getting the battery to too low of a voltage can damage it, yes. It's unlikely you actually managed that though.

I had an inspire and the screen was great loved the camera and of course android. But the battery life was so so even with the custom rom. Returned yesterday and got the atrix. No complaints so for other than stock blur which I downloaded launcher pro over. Battery life excellent and I like the screen. Anyone else with a good experience?

Atrix battery is sad too.

The atrix's battery is excellent....18hrs from full charge and still 30+% battery left...and this is with heavy usage (4+hours with screen on, browsing, downloading apps, youtube, whatsapp, etc)

Agreed my battery life is amazing. Best smart phone battery i've had to date.
I get over 24 hours with my battery, even better than I was getting with my iPhone 4.
Gonna try out the epic touch battery...was definitely a tight fit in the phone, but it fits!

Awesome, thanks for letting us know. I think you're the first to try one of those

I read some reviews of the battery in Amazon before I ordered it...saw some people mention using it in the epic...just wanted to share the news in case others didn't know.

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

Guess I'm the lucky one. My local Sprint store rep just handed me one and said, "Here ya go! Let me know how it works for ya!"
So far, battery life is MUCH better on CM9/AOKP vs. stock battery.

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back
So, now that I've realized and begun the painful process of accepting my battery won't make it until my bed time (11ish). Anyone get a good find on an extended battery. Preferably one that doesn't require added bulk. A 2500 mah that fits the stock slot would be soooo nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Also interested in this. The phone is so thin a bigger battery might not add too much bulk anyway. Any word on official extended battery?
Just buy a spare battery.

Nope, I went through that with a captivate. Not gonna keep switching, its too much work especially with a case

Do a search in this or the Q&A forum. There was someone who found an expensive one but he was getting something like 40 hours usage! The battery comes with its own battery cover that will replace the stock cover.

I'm trying to avoid adding bulk. However, what's the best one that would require a cover?

Hmm isn't that only 100mah more than stock ? Seems completely pointless , what we need is at least 2500mah or above to get a benefit

Extended batteries are nice, but you can never find a decent case to fit one. I'll go through the trouble of pulling off my case to pop in my spare battery. :cyclops:
There's already a thread on this in q&a which is where this belongs. Maybe a mod can merge this

Same here, I have challenged the battery on this phone to no end. I had a 15 hour and 22 minute "on charge" day yesterday with 4hours 44minutes screen on and the SOB was at 30% when I went to bed. The battery on this phone is unbelievable. I am using it stock, CF rooted, with nova.
Here is the photographic evidence in note style:
