So since day one I've used the 1500mah battery for the tp2/imagio/hero and its been running fine, battery drain is still a bit higher than what I'd expect comming from winmo. So I was wondering people who tried both stock and the 1500mah battery, have you noticed any real difference in battery life?

With Incubus' release of Super Froyo I have a fast and complete build of Android. The only thing that is putting a damper on the experience is the battery life. I have two recently purchased 1350amh batteries but neither seem to be able to keep a charge in Android. They both jump from 100% to 15% with about 10 mins of use. Plugging the phone in recharges the batteries too quickly. Charging the battery in Winmo on my other handset seems to give me a little more juice but only after multiple reboots, battery removals, and quick charges. I have tried Millence suggestions using 2000 in my nbh and sysinit.rc but the problems persist with both batteries. I am now wondering if maybe I damaged the batteries with all my mucking around. My question then is does the 2800amh extended battery work any better in Android than the stock 1350amh. The default setting is 2700amh in almost every build I have used and I am wondering if I were to purchase the greater capacity battery all of these problems would go away.
Sorry I can not answer your question about Froyo, but I have the extened battery in my phone (since even in WM the stock battery was useless!), in previous builds I would get about 12 hours use before it died, I have now had this running for 1 day and 3 hours and I now have 35% left, if I can eak this out to 2 days, this will be half my WM battery life
I have made no adjustments to settings and I am running from the SD card.

The new batts werent off ebay were they and say lith polymer instead of lith ion !!
I had a similar experiences in the past with cheap batteries of ebay, actually you find many naughty sellers used to get new lables made stating slightly higher mah.... again in my experience this was naughty german sellers.
Every battery ive got that says lith polymer died after 3 months and never held a full charge, get a proper lithium ion one instead.

Sorry I don't know, I bought the phone 2nd hand and it came with the phone.
Ok so there's a few threads about the 1500mAh for a few other devices and I saw a 1600mAh mugen battery for the DHD however it's been discontinued for some reason. Faulty?
A few websites later I came across this:
http://www.blueunplugged.com/Extended-Battery-1500mah-HTC-DesireHD.aspx
Has anyone tried it? Any noticable difference?
I would bet my life on that being utterly useless. 1500mAH for under a tenner? I expect a stock battery would out last that by a long time.
I have 2 of these batteries. They are not 1500mah. They do seem to perform as well as the factory battery though. Get a couple of them and a charger off ebay and then you can enjoy the security of having a spare battery on hand.

Yeah at the very least I hoped it would be enough as a spare. Already ordered one.
I never have really understood battery stats. I figure they must be some matrix of voltages and time, so the phone can say "X voltage = Y% battery left".
And I just flashed to the new stock Samsung ICS ROM, today was my first day, and I notice that I'm getting about 6-7 hours less battery life, which is pretty extreme.
I've got two Chichitec 2000mah batteries and a stock 1800mah battery. I haven't had any need to swap batteries before - but if battery life is going to be this terrible, I may have to.
So what are the consequences of swapping batteries? How does it impact your battery stats if your battery dies by say, 8pm, and you swap in a fresh battery to keep going for the rest of the day?

To make it simple.. I know they say give it a few cycles of charging and that it could possibly get better.. Also try installing badass battery monitor too see what's eating your battery
And swapping batteries.. It doesn't impact anything to my understanding.. I've read on XDA and known numerous people who swap batteries and never mentioned any consequences
Hi I currently have mikg rom installed on my evo but my battery life is still horrible,, does anyone know any roms that use less juice on the battery.. thats all im really concerned about? thanks
I always liked the TN Shooter ROM. Sense 3.0, working 4G, life is good. I cannot say anything about battery life though, because I use two extended batteries, but from what I can tell battery life isn't too bad. Link --

How old is your battery? When i first rooted my EVO, it could sleep overnight and lose 2%, and after a year, it wouldn't stay on 100% for more than 30 seconds. I could literally sit and watch the battery drain at this point. Age I'd a big factor in determining the battery life.
Another big factor is whether or not you are using an HTC battery, or if you purchased a 3rd party battery. Just keep those things in mind.

First things first. This belongs in Q/A . That being said. Did you do a Clean Install of the Rom ? Did you restore any Data ? What Kernel are you using ? Also this has been mentioned, but I will reiterate. If your Battery is old, or if you are using a knock off Battery it affects the Battery life.

After a long period of battery use,it will degrade as time goes on and you will lose battery cells and the battery gets weaker and wont keep a full charge,the best practice is to charge your phone fully,then let it discharge until it shuts itself off,then recharge again and do the same thing,then recharge and the battery will stay charged a little longer,is what this supposidly does is try building the cells back,but its only temporary,especially when you have an worn battery,the best roms to use for battery life,from my experience is aamikam and Tommys roms,alot of time it will also have to do with the kernel,especially if its an OC'ed kernel,look for an SBC(superior battery charge) kernel.
ok well idk what kernal it is because i cant figure out how to add one yet,, but maybe it was the batterys i bought this extended battery off ebay which had a high mah rating i thought it would last longer but it didnt wasnt a oem battery i didnt know there was a difference so i went ahead and bought a factory battery today .. thanks
Try discharging the battery than give it a full charge. If that doesn't help, try a Rom called SOS X/N.

BTW not sure if you have one or ever heard of anker batteries but anyways they sell a charger with the battery. My original EVO battery started to die very fast. I bought an anker and it seems whenever I charge the phone via USB charger vs the anker battery charger the battery will die much faster. You should try buying the anker battery charger & use the charger to charge your battery, do not use the USB cord to charge it & see if that helps any
Hey guys,
i've had the note 2 since nov. 2012 and am still on the original samsung battery that came with the phone. Lithium Ion batteries degrade over their lifetime and i wonder how much mine has ''hamoraged'' and whether a new battery would significantly increase my battery life/on time. I've had one battery app installed from the playstore that (i forgot which one) showed a bit above mha 3100 when fully charged. Can this really be true? This would mean no degradation at all, right?
So, is max mha the best determaning indicator of battery health, or can it still show this high a value but drain power much faster than on a fresh battery?
The note 2 luckily has a changeable battery but i would like to actually determine whether a new one would make a significant difference and not just buy a new one just because mine is 4 years old. How do you guys go about it?
