I'm looking into buying a Desire Z, but am concerned a little about battery life. What's it like? I used notifications and twitter sync a lot on my nexus, so it's moderate to heavy use. What's it going to be like?
Thanks in advance.
Although I have the G2, they should be similar. I get on average about 17 hours out of my stock battery and 26 hours out of my Galilo battery off of ebay that is rated at 1800 mah.
I have about 11 hours for a day, where 9 of them is internet(3 for wi-fi and 6 for 3g), 1 hour games, 1 hour standby.

For me, moderate use is 12 hours on a good day. We desperately need some new battery technology.

If I run the Virtuous 1.0.1 (HTC Sense) ROM and the Standard kernel, I can easily get more than 12 hours of regular use and close to 20-24 hours with little use.

Do you need a new cover with the external battery? Cause the G2/Desire Z is pretty thick on its own....
here is what i get out of a day (battery consumption for specific tasks are mentioned in percentages measured using juiceplotter)
wifi on constantly
display set to 24% brightness
background sync enabled (google, weather 6hrs, whatsapp and facebook once a day)
45 min video (rockplayer no h/w decoding) 15%
1 hr browsing+chat 15%
30 min calls 6%
20 min music+chat 5%
20 min general usage 5%
1 hr flash streaming 15%
24 hrs standby 24% (@ 1% for every hr of standby)
15% battery remaining after 24 hrs i.e. low battery warning.
pretty amazing battery life IMO i am very happy.
Desire z and tmo g2 will have diff battey life since desire z has htc sence while the Tmo G2 just has a stock android 2.2.1. But I miself get from up to 10 hours out of it and that's milking the battery till I get 10%. I'm a hevy user of the phone wifi on most of the day. Nimbuzz or ebuddy messanger always on. And and play gunbros onit ... but all I all happy with the battery life

This really depends on how you define 'moderate' or 'heavy' usage... We all have different habits with our cell phones and there are tons of variables that impact your battery life.
There are a few threads that discuss the 'battery issue' in great detail.
In short, for me, moderate usuage yields about 12-15 hours and HEAVY use, gets me about 8-10. On most work days, I have no problem making it through the day. Its the weekends when I am 'playing' with my phone constantly that requires a quick charge in the afternoon to surive through the night.
I've been better monitoring my batterylife today to see if I can get by on a normal work day or if I'll need an exteded battery (ever since getting the phone its been dying very quickly, because I've been playing games on it). So far, it's been going all day and will definetly reach the 10 hour mark with web browsing and texting. However I do 1 concern, 30% of my battery life has been used up by 'Cell Standby'. Is this normal? I had an extended battery on my g1, so I never had to worry about battery life too much, and don't know how much cell standby took up on it. I'm just suprised that it takes up more than "android System" or anything else on my phone.
Htc G2 on At&t with cyanogen 7.0.3 clocked at ~800mghz
(Could it be because its on the att network?)
Update- just to give you a grasp of my battery usage for the day:
was not put in charger all day
currently at 10%
been on for 13h and 56m
--
cell stanby 31%
Phone Idle 22%
wifi 19%
display 13%
android system 11%
Voice Calls 2%

Got my rezound battery in a couple days ago and so far its not so good. Gave it a full charge out of the box and then bump charged it. Wiped battery stats and then ran it hard to drain it dead till the phone shut off. Recharged and bumped it again. It will hold at 100% for a good while during use but then drops drastically. Sitting doing nothing it dropped to 60% in about 2 hours. Then listening to music it went into around 20% in 45 minutes. Charged it overnight and today sitting doing nothing it was down to 30% in about 4 hours. Put it back on the charger now its only charging to 88% and stops. Am I doing something wrong here or is my battery a dud.
Update
after the charge to 88% I have used the crap out of my phone tonight and more over the last 4 hours. Surfing on WiFi, music, and running repeated benchmarks. The battery had sit for several hours off charge and dropped from 88 to 52% while sitting unused. Dropped from 52 to 35% over a few hours of music and 4g web browsing while driving my wife around shopping. After I got home and started using it stayed at 35% for over 2 hours of use and has dropped down from 35 to 28% in the last hour or so of continuous use. Seems like its holding a good charge, but just not reporting battery stats correctly.

I have had the Rezound battery for several months and at first it was reporting the battery accurately, a longer usage time, and no complaints. I would go down to about 5% and then I would charge it.
The last few months have been erratic. The battery could show anywhere from 15% to 25% then just shut off completely. This has become very frustrating and unreliable once I get under 30. I downloaded a battery calibration app that has proven to be worthless.
I was on vacation last week and found out something interesting. If I charge the battery to 100% then take it off for about 5 minutes and reboot the phone it will show that it is charged to somewhere between 79% and 84%. I can let it charge again to 100% and get a full charge that time. I tried several times doing battery calibration and it seems to make no difference. I think the default stats file is limiting the charge to the stock battery capacity somehow. I know the stats file gets written on boot and I found a post on here somewhere about HTC releasing an update for their extended battery after its release due to it not charging completely. I wonder if the rezound battery and all other extended batteries that aren't the capacity of the two official ones could perform better if they had modified stats files. Without the reboot and additional charge I am averaging 16 hours roughly per charge. With the additional charge I have gotten over 30 hours on one charge and get at least 23 hours. Last full charge was 27 hours 38 min and still had 16% charge.

Finally broke down and got one yesterday from Big Red. So far, on initial charge (off wall charger), I'm @ 38%, 15 hrs, moderate use. For me, it's an improvement over the stock battery. FWIW, once I popped in the rezound battery, I wiped battery stats in CMW....

My rezound battery was doing great until the first weekend when I had to switch it with the stock thunderbolt one on the fly. Since then they seem to perform, at best, the same - but usually it seems like the rezound one lasts even shorter than the original.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
perfect
6-8 hours. usually over 40 hours.
I haven't actually run out of battery in a day yet. I usually recharge every night and go to bed around 60% regularly, with at least 4 hours SOT. I think the longest I've gone in a day is 8 hours SOT over 19 hours, with ~30% battery remaining.
According to AccuBattery at 41% I will have 4h 40m of screen on time (since that's it's current %). Pretty amazing!
5000 mah battery and 4h SOT??? Wtf my 5.5 inch lenovo zuk with a 4100 mah battery is getting me 4-5h sot now after a year and a half of exploitation.
9-10 hours over 2 days consistently.
I've been getting 10 to 10.5 hours SoT, this is using 4G, facebook, reddit, youtube. If they camera was a tad bit better this would be my ideal phone.
This is by far, the best device I've owned.
For lots os reasons, I need a device with dual sim with everything turned on.
Been using it for 5 months, with dual SIM, Mobile data (mostly 4G), Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth (paired with LG Urbane, JVC T110BT as also on car), auto-luminosity.
After all these time, the average battery life (considering complete charges) is about 40h (max was something close to 60h) and an average SOT of 9h (max was near to 12h). The average phone usage is 2h per day and the data (4G+Wi-FI) is about 500mb/day.
Never, never had something with such battery endurance....
Planning to pick one up soon and was wondering what were people's average sot numbers? Also how fast does yours charge from 0-100%?
Me 4-5 hours and 2h charging time compare to my old 6P i am very happy.
5-6 hours of SOT and approx 2 hours to charge from 0-100.
