What is currently the best battery for the EVO 4g? Im tired of searching for ROMS that give better battery life or doing all the tweaks..Ive seen the galileo and several others but just asking around...Also same for case?
Personally I like this one Tridentcase Electra
Thanx for the post but dont like the see thru stuff...is there a really good extended battery that is slim like the stock battery that comes with a different colored case?

They have it in all black as well but if you want a slim one look for a sedio 1750 its better than stock and doesn't need a new battery cover
How does the sedio 1750 compare to the galileo 2000 in terms of hrs added over stock? Isnt the galileo slim too?
Other inexpensive cases for extended batteries
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the evo 4g with the extended battery.
Can anyone chime in on the Galileo 2000 compared to the stock & the sedio 1750? How many more hrs are possible with each over stock? I want a slim batt

I have the Galileo and it lasts me a few hours longer than stock..it's a noticeable enough difference. After being with an Evo for a year I have just accepted that battery life simply blows. No matter the ROM/Kernel combination I'm either charging or swapping batteries mid day.
I agree mulhiny...However, I feel I found a pretty good combo..I am on ISC 7 which is just a modified CM 7 with Savage Zen 2.2.1 CFS HAVS smartass governor & this kernel seems to help a lot with battery life! I notice by the end of the day I am left with 25% battery life where b4 having this kernel I would need to recharge...Im not sure if its a combo of this ROM & kernel or jus the kernel that is helping so much...I have used many ROMS: decks with tiamat (no change in batt life was pretty bad plus would get screen locks where nothing worked) MIUI with stock kernel seemed better than decks & seemed to run better for me overall more responsive no lockups quick better bat life (didnt get that lock up issue where nothing on the screen would respond just wish the batt life could be as good as what I get now..
mulhiny is the galileo the most powerful battery you can get that still keeps your phone slim?
If you don't mind the bulk the seidio or pt (best buy rebranded), extended 3500 is very good. The extended rugged case is really bulky for my taste but it's modular, so I just leave the first layer, the surface case on. It doesn't provide much protection but I am usually a lot more careful when I have that could combo on. I found that deck and savage kernel gave me the best battery life on the phone. I also applied the vipermod uc mod plus the v6 script for smoother scrolling. All in all I averaged between 1.5-2 days of moderate use. If you don't want a bulky battery the chichitec were decent for me, gave me a few more hours more than stock. A few things helped me achieve better battery life was keeping wifi on whenever it was available. If I know I'm at home, school or office I always keep wifi on and it saves me a ton of battery. Hope this helps!

I am honestly looking for the most powerful slim battery. I dont like the bulky look...LMK what the most powerful slim batt is on the market for the EVO 4g. I think I might have seen a 2200 but Im not sure.
It seems that savage zen gives the best batt life! Really glad I came across this kernel as Tiamat was not helping me noticeably. BTW I sent you a pm!

The Galileo is the largest I found that had a name I recognized. I have seen 2200 no names. I would agree that Decks with SZ kernel offers the best battery. I didn't notice a big difference after undervolting, but my phone would only handle -25 before it would crash.
I always can manage to get through a day with any particular rom/kernel combo for the most part, but in order to use my phone the way I want to the best solution for me is my Galileo as a primary battery with my stock as a back up. I always charge both at the end of the day. By simply getting over battery life and accepting 2 batteries a day as the norm, I can now just enjoy any rom I choose.
I too have packed my extended batteries away and use the standard one. I run CM7 with an sbc kernel and by the end of the day, I am at about 20% and by end of the day, I mean 10-11pm.
Granted, if I notice I am killing the phone with calls, txts, or the game moggle, I toss it on a charger for a little.
Great I think i found a good kernel for ASOP Roms. Will test out a few other roms with this kernel & see results I get.
Where is the best/cheapest place to get a slim extended life battery?
I have seen other posts where people were getting 2 batteries with a charger for $20, but everything I am finding is $20-$25 just for one battery...
I need a good one too. I have an otter box ( It has saved my phones ass ) and I want it to still fit on.
I do all my shopping on Amazon
Which battery is better ?? Acase or Yoobao

If you look into the SBC Kernel thread, and choose a kernel thats right for your rom you can get pretty good battery life. I personally use Myn's 2.2 RLS4 with SBC for BC's Kernel, and can go a minimum of 24hours without requiring a charge.

Seidio makes a rugged case but thats the best i've seen.
I was reading and I found this website that has batteries for cheap. Here is the link, http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html. I have the Seidio 1750mah right now but I have switched between the stock battery and there isn't much of a difference. Has anybody had experience with this 1800mah battery? If so how does it compare to stock?
Looks like a no-name brand, I wouldn't buy it. It is probably worse than the stock battery. Just my $.02

That's what I was thinking. Just looking for something else because this Seidio battery is garbage.
I think the 1800 looks pretty dodgy as well. Also, just going by nothing but the numbers, 1750mA is only another 30% or so. At best, you're just going to see a small increase under heavy usage (if 3 hours on stock, 4 on 1750 Seidio).
I have had two of those 1750's and I had to have one replaced because it was not quite as good as the stock battery, but the other is a good improvement.
I just find that the crazy battery charging paradigm of the Dinc doesn't do justice to any battery. (unless you turn your phone off when you charge or alternate batteries from a real charger) I'm running a modified kernel which is undervolted, has all the modules I need, and I "de-sensed" and "de-HTC'd" every service and apk that I had no use for. I'm not a social networking guy (well, aside from this forum), and if I really wanted to do any of that I surely don't need HTC's crazy sense interface.
Doing that increased my battery life to 2 days of "normal usage for me". I'm not setting on the phone typing all the time or browsing, but as delivered before I modded it all, I think it was just about the most useless phone (in terms of battery life) I've encountered. Using their stock screen with ~craploads of widgets is battery suicide as well.
-- Anyway, I hope you solve the problem - Hashi
I don't really know how much these batteries are supposed to cost, I bought a couple 1500 on ebay and haven't had any problems with them. But here they have the stock battery for $23. Might be worth checking out if you're looking for just a backup to keep in your pocket or something (which is what I do).

I bought 1800 battery's on eBay and its great for me. Its $20 I say try it... If its ****ty oh well you have another stockish battery.

Got a Droid Inc off craigslist for my buddy, who threw CM7 on it. He's getting really poor battery life out of it -- less than day with what he and I would define as pretty light usage. So we're trying to determine if he should buy a new battery for it, or if this is just how things are with the Droid Inc. He's coming from an AT&T Nexus One that also ran CM7. Obviously the Droid Inc uses a bit more juice and packs a bit smaller battery, but this discrepancy seems pretty high.
His phone is the SLCD version, so it really can't be more than a year old, can it? Do you guys have any recommendations on how to diagnose the health of the battery itself so we can figure out if it's even worth replacing?
Our comedy option is replacing it with the Seidio 1750 mAh battery, but reviews seem really mixed on Amazon. Widespread reports of the phone heating up and a really wimpy warranty from Seidio. Anyone have any feedback on this?
Thanks much.
If he is willing, he should try Miui. You get great battery life and smooth performance from it (been testing it all week, so I know).
If not try out some different Kernels, see if that helps. I would recommend some, but I am not familiar with CM7, so I wouldn't know what works best with it.
Hope I helped,
From my expierience MIUI is comparable to CM7.
Make sure he isn't overclocking, and definately use chad's incredikernel. The one provided with CM7 does tend to suck more power. Also options to flash lower voltages with chad's incredikernel.
If you are planning to get a new battery, go with an official HTC battery. There is one designed for the HTC EVO that is 1500MAH or go with a 1900mAh battery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134076)
Both of the above will fit in the stock casing, though some say the 1900mAh is a little snug but still completely snaps on in the back. I personally have the 1900mAh and I think it's a great buy and would suggest you pick it up if you're looking for more battery life without compromising your phones size.
Possible the guy bump-charged that battery to death or did other things that made that battery hard to keep a charge.
Another thing to note is that once you install a new ROM or Kernel, you should *always* wait 2-3 days for your phone to fully calibrate the battery. Often times it doesn't full charge after you first flash a ROM because your phone thinks the battery is smaller than what it is, so it'll discharge quickly. You can speed up this process by fully discharging all the way down to 0% then charging it all the way back up. Don't do this often as it's potentially damaging to the long-term life of the battery.

OR you could do one of the following:
"Remember when trying new kernels for best results.. Charge until green, then boot into recovery, then advanced and wipe battery stats, then power off and let charge until green and good to go. This gets the results without waiting 3 or 4 days of charging. Also you wont see the unplug and go from 100% to 83% in 15 minutes."
"Actually, to recalibrate, this is what I'd recommend.
Charge the phone to 100%
Turn it off. The LED will turn red again, wait for it to turn back to green.
Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
Reboot, then unplug."
That was the advice I was given for my thread. I haven't tried them yet myself, but they sound like good things to do.
Now that I've learned a thing our two about Lithium Ion batteries, I'm going back to the stock 1300mAh battery for a minute....at least until I can find a 1500 mah Evo
Battery to put in!

Thanks for the detailed response, POQbum. I think this gives us a good place to start out; that's pretty awesome that you can shove a 1900 mAh Evo battery in there.

Yes, if you're wanting to do something like wipe the battery stats. I could be wrong but I don't think there's a way to do that without being rooted.
I'm getting my nexus Wednesday from Verizon. I'm on my 5th razr from 2-10-12, and they offered me a replacement device, wanted the maxx but they couldn't do it for some reason, so I'm getting the nexus. So what should I expect? Battery life, roms kernels, just the run down? Thanks for your time, and hopefully this is an upgrade! I mean i paid $200 for this razr, and they're giving me a nexus which is $300.

With Franco kernel good battery for a 4g phone ability to unlock boot loader and have freedom priceless roms , there are plenty to try and sample

I'm running AOKP Milestone 4 with franco.Kernel Milestone 2... good combo according to a lot of people. Battery life you can expect to last around 3.5 hours screen on time if you have hotplug mod enabled with fraco.Kernel. I would say that the best thing about having a Nexus is the abundant updates from Google as well as the ease of modding the phone and the associated vibrant development community.
Word of advice... at the very least get your 2100 extended Verizon battery+ door. If you want to go over 4 hours on screen time get the seidio 3500mah battery with nfc. Its not pretty but you won't notice when you hold the phone. Other than that, put aokp or whatever rom and flash Franco or trinity to get your battery life up over stock. Kernel seems to have much more to do with battery life than rom but aokp seems to have the best mix of customization right now. I love trinity Kernels for battery life and the best stock color enhancement. Nice cool whites without having to mess with anything, but others swear by other kernels as well. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the options, and opinions guys! And honestly, I'm not going to get an extended life battery, one it makes the phone huge and two, I'm only 16 and can't afford one right now (paid for my razr though) but I'll mes around with the roms if I don't get what I want outta my battery. I'm only getting 4-6 hours outta my razr light use. So hopefully it'll do better, as long as I get 10-12 hours, I'll be more then happy! But it'll take time I'm sure.

I wouldn't recommend a huge 3500mAh extended. Its ugly and is a bit overkill, considering it seems your expectations are in check. I would recommend just getting the 2100mAh extended. Adds a little life and its not very expensive ($25 I believe).

Coming from a RAZR to a GNEX is a great move. You'll definitely be happy with the upgrade. The GNEX with the right ROM/Kernel combo is hands down the best device currently on the market. I grabbed the GSM version in Jan. and couldn't be happier. My only gripe is how fast the tier one devices depreciate. But hey that's the game these days. My goto setup is GummyNex ROMS & Franco Kernels. Blazing fast, buttery, silky smooth. Sick quadrant scores & decent battery life. You've made a great move The extended battery add no bulk whatsoever and is a good pickup

As far as battery life goes, while running Liquid rom with Franco Milestone 2 kernel I get excellent battery life, even with wifi and 4g. I can easily put over a day on the phone some days when I don't use it that much. But even under heavy usage I can get through the day (standard battery).
The size of the phones screen itself is really nice. I came from an Incredible 2 and I thought 4" was the sweet spot. Let me tell you now though that after a few months using this I wouldnt mind the screen being 4.8" or so. The design, in my opinion, makes it the best looking phone on the market.
An extended battery on ebay (only place I can find it) that is as slim as the stock GS3 battery. The seller feedback / reviews seem good enough (no real negatives that I can find, in relation to this particular product).
Anyone out there tried this? Noticeable improvement? Seems pretty amazing if this works as advertised.

Its physically impossible to put another 1060mah into the same size battery. Sorry to burst your bubble but its probably a 2100 or 2200 mah with a new sticker slapped on it.
I like to break stuff!
I would strongly advise against this. I bought an extended battery from eBay and it turned out to be WORSE than the stock battery and made my phone all glitchy. If anything I'd recommend going to Amazon so you can see actual customer reviews.

There are a few reviews on Amazon for different Acesoft "Extended" batteries that don't require new battery doors. The reviews were mixed, at best, with one person saying they had longer life, but they were getting mixed information from a battery status app they were using, about how many mA's it actually had at full charge, and such. It shows only $20, so if you feel like it is worth it, I'd say go for it. I pre-ordered, then cancelled, the 3000mAh OEM Samsung extended battery for my phone. Since I see the GS4 is coming, I'll hold off on the battery.
great

whatever size it is it last a lot longer than the stock battery does.
I would highly recommend battery
I would advise against it. It looks like a rebranded Stock Capacity Battery.
OK so I was searching for a battery replacement. I bought one from Amazon by a company called AceSoft. The battery on the website was advertised as 2900mAh. However, when I got it it was 3160mAh. Its a slim standard size (no cover replacement required).
I have to say, 2 days and beating on the phone, and I am getting no less than 12.5 hours solid and at least 3.5 hours of screen time (50% of use).
Here are some screenshots of using it with KT747 Kernel and no Tweaks
The others (9hrs battery and 2.5hrs screen) are from my original 2100mAh battery with KT747 Kernel and some tweaks for battery life
I was going to ask the same thing, I've already got a decent case on my phone and only really want a free extra hours. Are there any recommended batteries that are the same slim size?
