Evo 4G LTE Battery Replacement - EVO 4G General

Hello, I was wondering if someone knows more about this than I do (I know nothing so wouldn't be hard) but as we have seen, the 4G LTE has an embedded 2000 mah battery. My current Evo 4G has the joy of the 3500mah extended battery. I was wondering the possibility of an extended battery for the 4G LTE. Right now I'm between the Nexus or the LTE and I'm not sure the awesome features make up for the lack of ginormous battery. Any ideas?

It's unibody aluminum no extended battery possibility here

Who knows maybe Sprint drops evo4gLTE with an extended battery like the razr maxx

Maybe if you disassemble the phone, then it could be removed and a bigger one added, that is if they would make batteries in the same size and all, always a possibility.

What about a company like S**do,
Making a complete oversized replacement case to accomodate a larger battery?

kinda what I'm hoping for random lol. if anyone can do it, it would be seidio and I would be most happy. 2000 might be nice but it doesnt beat 3500...

I would imagine....
I would hope that among the new accessories would be a recharging station device like the Palm Pre had. I know that Powermat is out there. Perhaps something else is in the works. I wish the Beats Audio headphones would come with the phone though.

Our Magic 8 Ball doesn't work any better than your Magic 8 Ball.

My magic 8 ball is working just fine.

from what iv read its a 2650mah, not 2000mah. With a non removable battery i think we will see an explosion of cases that have a built in battery like there are for the iphone. I have one for my OG evo. Its made by xpal and its called a powerskin. I got it at bestbuy.com for $59. it has a built in 1500 mah battery. along with my $1750 internal, that gives me 3250 mah and is plenty good enough for me to last 20 hours or so of moderate use.

Didn't they remove the 5 pin connector from the new Evo?

Not being able to swap batteries is a deal breaker for me. I will not be getting one myself.

The newer processor uses a lot less juice, and the battery is bigger then the original to begin with.
You don't need a bigger battery, It's already going to outlast the OG evo by a longshot. Not saying it wouldnt still be nice to be swappable. But as far as battery life is concerned, its a non issue.

Some of us go thru the battery on the EVo pretty fast. The longest I ever been able to go is about 7-8 hours of hard use. I have been in places that only thing that kept me going for another 6-7 hours was the extra battery. I can;t see this 2000ma battery lasting much more that the one I have now.

HTC's website lists it at 2000.

That's what I read too. Anyway, 260 is not twice what I have now with 2 batteries and I just about run thru both on some occasions. I would think faster processor will use more juice.

check here and see the video as well, that link you posted was prior to it being actually announced I believe,,,
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/htc-evo-4g-lte-preview-video/
check at about 4:10 it will tell you the battery size
excerpt: Speaking of correcting glaring flaws, the company assured us that, unlike past models (ahem, Thunderbolt), this guy should have ample runtime, courtesy of a 2,000mAh battery -- a sizable improvement over the One X's 1,800mAh juicepack

Yea I saw they changed it a little bit ago when I found the HTC page was working with more than a pic up now earlier this am it was just a photo with no specs, not worth upgrading to for me the only big difference between it and my et4g is the lte and my area won't see it til probably next year so no point in wasting the upgrade on a device that's not a drastic change HTC fumbled again IMO just like with the 3d and the design, only this time they just brought similar specs 9 months late idk what the hell they've been doing but they are falling way behind the curve these days, they burst out of the gate with the OG evo then fell flat on their face like they forgot to tie their shoes before the race

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 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.

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...

Time to replace my stock evo battery ?

Its been a year since i got this phone and the poor battery has had nothing but heavy usage the the entire time. Im wondering how after 500+ charges a evi battery should be holding up and what the life span of it is till its time to replace after heavy usage and on quite a few ocvasions more than one full charge per day.. Old age is a ***** haha. Thanks guys
Unless you notice it's not holding a charge like it used to, heating up a lot, or swelling up, I'd say it's still perfectly fine.
First 75% or so just drops fast. 75% through 25% so so and the last 25% holds strong like the whole 100% used to. I wasnt sure if it because miks rom and heavier usage from 3.0 though?

Yea I wouldn't mind finding that battery too. I really don't want to make my phone thicker with the big extended battery.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Usually batteries typically should last a year (or longer) but when I used to work at tmo I found that they start to lose full charge at around 8 months; im only speaking for HTC batteries based on my exp w/ their devices. If you can get another one id say go for it.

Someone will dissect the phone and show all the parts on a tech blog. They do it for most flagship phones.
If you don't feel like waiting, there are 4 easy steps to verify battery capacity:
1. Acquire hammer.
2. Smash phone.
3. Read battery specs.

Most phones have button combinations that will take care of this issue. if I remember Right there is also a combination for the evo as well. No battery pull necessary.

Press and hold volume up, down, and power at he same time. It takes 5 or 6 seconds. You can even get to hboot if you press volume down after it shuts off the screen.
Sealed Battery
I just canceled my upgrade. Swapping out the battery is important to me. And what happens after a year when the battery just doesn't hold a charge very well. I'm disappointed with HTC and we have 4 EVOs in our house. I'll have to see what else is available now. Samsung???
It may only be the need to open the phone, and remove a flex cable, peal the battery out, it may or may not be soldered in, or in a clip. Its very simple, and with ICS and the S4 in the EVO LTE, I am not worried at all, but that's because I also fix phones all day lately.

You never know!! Gotta think positive man! And actually, I had Wimax on launch day in STL. But LTE will take longer for me this time around. I only used 4g a few times at the start(20mb/s in class), but never really even attempted to use it after the first few months as I didn't get great 4g at my place, though I probably haven't tried in about a year...

3000mAH for 2k 5.5 inch
just to make sure this one maybe for korea, usually using 2 batteries so the global g3 will be different

The g pro 2 came with 2 batteries ... maybe they do the same.

honestly, if they just put a 4000mAh in it, I wouldn't mind if it weren't replaceable. And I seriously doubt with the kind of perfomance/specs its gonna have, anyone would really mind the extra thickness either. Not to mention heft (cough, durability).
It's not how big the tank K is but how much less is sippped from the tank
Nexus 5 so battery is 75% if G2
But battery life on nexus 5 is far less than 75 percentage of G2 albeit having a smaller screen

Don't forget - with a removable battery, I'll bet some vendor will come out with a 3500+ mAh battery...

true, tho hopefully LG itself does it, kinda like Samsung did with S3, which I have.

more than six hours of screen-on time with 100% brightness, it's really impressive.

it looks promising but i would take this article with a grain of salt. I want to see a article or a video with alot of apps and features turned on this reviewed. i believe that would be a real battery review
Still, LG hasn't outed official talk, standby, browsing and video playback times yet, so we can only guesstimate the battery life of the G3 to be pretty good, based on some tangential proof from improvised battery tests that are popping up.
First off, a prototype version of the phone has been put through its paces, and the phone lasted six and a half hours of video playback on a charge, as you can see from the screens on the right. That might seem average, but the test has been done at the screen's*maximumbrightness, which*LG officially pegs at 430 nits, instead of the usual 150 or 200 nits, so the result from standardized routines like our own battery test, are likely to be much higher.*
Also so the test was at basically 2× brightness of a normal screen. ... so at lower brightness it should do very well

Thanks to the removable battery I couldn't care less about battery life you can always take one or even two with you and go through half a week without ever needing to charge your phone good job LG :good:
I'm sure it will feature some sort of ultra power saving mode just like the S5

Is it really nice to always have a secondary batt and most time having to turn off phone then replace. I quite don't like that and I don't see that very cute at all. Maybe it's how I feel but that for me just seems not right.

I would totally have taken a 3500mAh stuck battery like in G2(not impossible to remove after some years) instead of 3000mAh removable.

How about we first get the phone and test it ourselves?

I never said 3000mAh isnt enough, but 3500mAh would last longer and most people dont run around with an extra battery in their pocket even if they can. Saving 1-2 hours of work to replace a battery like in the G2 after 1-3 years isnt really that much.

Just the same way you are thinking, don't you think that LG thought of that?

Of course they did, but they are catering to the people who are stuck in the old days when smartphones didnt last as long and batteries died much faster. Sure batteries degrade still, but if they hold longer between the charges and with more improvment it would be years between needing to change it. LG did the right thing with G2, but people arent smart enough to see it, so LG had to go back to the old ways to win the heart of the stuck.

Okay, what I'm saying is if they have thought then it'll make no sense for that regard. If so, then the 3000mAh batt along with their Optimization makes it enough to have that battery.
Like for example, there are different desktop power supplies but some of them are different quality. A 3 star 1200w quality desktop supply could be equivalent to a 5 star 800w quality supply.
