Not for me but maybe someone needs it.
LOL that looks ridiculous, but i guess it can be useful
lol looks like a throw back to the brick phone days
holy crap balls batman.. Nothing like doubling the thickness of the device.. I can see where it would be handy for someone on like a cross country drive in a car with no charger.

WHAT THE HELL? That is just over kill. I really see no point in a 3200 mah battery. That is just insane! Besides it makes it look like and old Motorola flip, minus the flip. TOO BIG FOR ME.
(Wait I am from Texas, did I really say it was TOO big? I thought everything was bigger down here)

It's real. Both Mugen and Seido (and some others I think) make these monster batteries. Usually you see a picture though, and you can't really get a feel of how big the battery really is. Good lord.
I think I'd rather just bring an extra battery with me, if I need to.
The ebay charger I bought allows you to charge two batteries at once anyway.

I'll buy this before a zombie evasion. Or, to lesser extreme, I'll buy this before I on some safari where I might be in the wild for more than a few hours...
it is me or it looks like most people use the smart phones as dumb phones ?? to have long battery life? myTouch 4g only last around 7 hours on light use and have to recharge for 1/2 hour at lunch. this is on 2 phones so i don't think is the battery's

I'm over seidio batteries. When I had it for my OG incredible they didn't offer any advantage over stock and were 'rated' with higher mAh.
Save your $70 and get the extended battery from VZW when it's on sale.
True it was pricey.. I never use NFC, although, I keep the stock battery and cover in the center console in the car. The extended from Verizon offered about 400 more Mah, that wasn't enough. The Seido is more than twice the stock battery. I love the matching case, I'm about 6'2" with big hands, the extended battery helps it fit in my hand.

I'm 6'3", I like the feel with the 2100mAh, the smaller 1850mAh feels a bit light...
It's all preference really though. Plus the rear case on the 3800mAh kills the aesthetics and the color doesn't even match.
I'm hoping when 4.04 gets released my battery woes are solved. So far, it looks promising.

Since I updated to 4.0.4 my battery life on stock has been much better. I'm getting 11+ hours and I don't use wifi its on 4g pretty much all day. I want and extended but not with the extra bulk.

That's pretty damn impressive, though the first half of the time used on your phone seems quite static, as if you were sleeping or just leaving your phone in hibernated mode.
Curious to know your ROM and kernel combo?

My extended 2000 mAH battery serve me just fine (GSM model).
I got 3 hours screen on time with 3d 8h stand by time (80 hours), and still 13% left.
If I used for about 5 hours screen on time, I could get more than 2 days stand by.
Granted, the device was on WiFi most of the time.
But, when I use 100% mobile internet (0% wiFi), my record was screen on time 4h 29m, with 1d 13h stand by (37 hours).
So, it really serve me fine with my usage pattern (mostly web browsing, facebook, g+, youtube, navigation and games, little bit emails).
And still look nice!

In my honest opinion, I think the 2000 aMH is the sweet spot in terms of weight, looks and length of charge. I hold my phone in my front pants pocket so anything heavy would start to sag my pants.

Yeah the last time I had charged it was the day before, and I didn't end up charging it till the following day after the screen shots were taken so 3 days or so.
I was running Gummy with I believe either stock Kernel or if Gummy comes with a Kernel that, because I didn't flash a kernel. I went from Stock, to foxhound, to Gummy.
I have since flashed AOKP M3 but I am not getting the same battery life as I was with Gummy, so I am reflashing it today.

Same here... not to mention the problems I had with my Seidio Incredible extended batt that they went to great lengths to ignore.
I have used their batts on the Dinc and the xv6800 but this time around... screw them, their high prices and crappy service. I bought the spare battery with charger and carry the spare batt with me but hardly ever need it. With the standard bat I get by almost everyday (and this is before the 4.04 update) AND I get to use the standard case and holder with my nice slim phone.

Im in the camp of getting the Seidio 3800 battery . I already ordered it and it will be here this week . In the past its their slim extended batteries that never really amount to anything but an expensive stock battery . I had the 3500 for the HTC EVO 4G and loved it . Currently I work in a building where I get bad 3G service and only 4G . So my battery takes a beating on a daily basis . Yeah I can squeeze through a day on a full charge but thats just barely making it by . The 3800 should provide more than enough boost for me . Also got a holster and case combo with it (love discounts) . I use a holster mainly due to the fact I hate putting a phone in my pocket, also I use the phone as an mp3 player at the gym . Its right there at my side when I want to use it . I know some arent to keen to holsters but to be honest I really dont care LOL . It serves its purpose as I need it to , also the case will break up the black extended battery cover and grey metallic body of the Gnex
Totally stock, no tweaks yet. Yesterday was my day off from work, then sleep all night. Work all day today.

Hey,
Like many of you, I am extremely interested in the HTC One X. However, my one concern is the battery life - and is the only thing that is preventing me from pre-ordering one (and claiming the free MediaLink HD included with phones4u).
I currently have a Motorola Milestone, and have had so for around 26 months now - I believe the battery in that is about 1,450mAh - however, is effectively dead now getting no more than two hours solid use (apps). Now, I could easily go and buy a new battery for the Milestone - but won't as I am hoping to upgrade within a month.
My concern is therefore the non-removable, 1,800mAh battery found in the One X. Does anyone have any idea how long the One X will last with a good amount of usage, as I don't want to buy a phone that is going to have a poor battery life, that will become even worse within one year (two year contracts, after all)?
Thanks
My Galaxy Nexus with 1750mah battery, roughly the same size screen (4.65"), also 720p but different screen tech lasted about 3h10m screen on time on average :/
Which was obviously poor, but there are lots of factors that will affect this HTC, eg better processor (with companion core), Super LCD 2 might be more energy efficient plus HTC software should hopefully result in better battery but I'm not holding out for anymore than 4 hour screen on time tbh
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Also as far as lasting the length of the contract goes, according to their website carphone warehouse offer 24 month warranty for the phone, 12 for accessories and battery.
So if it was to get worse you'd be able to send it off for repair and they'd probably just replace as I doubt they'd be able to fix it with it being unibody.

Truth be told, the reason I did not buy Galaxy Nexus was because the poor battery life and 16GB storage. If you go to gsmerana.com and find the galaxy nexus battery result, you'd be suprise because GN is MOST worst battery life test expecially in web browsing roughly survive 3 hour in GSM model.

This one don't worry about it. In my research, I found out that when on idle, HTC One X will use the fifth core to save battery life. Whenever you watch video(this one most benefit to me ), it's up to 60% of power saving using 4 cores which is 12 hours. The lack of mirco SD card also helped to improve performance and battery life since don't require additional card reading. 4 cores actually increase performance while increase battery life when browsing, gaming, video and others.

I too wonder this. I guess the overall finish looks slightly better without a removable back cover. The lack of the MicroSD slot is not a big deal for me, simply because of the good amount of internal storage - and the 25gb Dropbox storage that comes included. I am trying to hold out from pre-ordering, with the (bleak) hope of seeing the Galaxy S3 event announced before the 5th of April. I guess the majority of deals available will still be available after the release.
Another problem for me, is HTC's habit of releasing an unnecessary number of phones a year, compared to the S series which is an annual flagship affair. Having said that, I have never been a fan of the "Home" button on the S3 - but that wouldn't stop me buying it if it topped the One X on the majority of key features (erm, a removable battery for a start?)

Actually I see no point of having removable battery cover because when you dropped a phone, the phone will actually break out..battery cover, battery and even worst SIM-card. My father has damaged his phone because of constantly dropping phone and I have to repair it piece by piece. About your second problem, don't worry about it. HTC already stated that they will focus on "Quality" not "Quantity". That is why you saw One-series were based on this idea.

The sim card wouldn't fall out if it is kept in the place it is now. The issue is the battery is really small (at first glance) for such a powerful phone, and if you can't even carry a spare..

Try to compare with Galaxy nexus regarding battery..
HTC one x has,
- larger battery
- SLCD2, which uses less power over amoled
- tegra 3 has companion core too
So, to compare to the latest nexus, the ONE X should offer much better battery.
..... So, cant be too bad.

1% over night with the atp? with or without doc?
That would mean, since the htc one x has 1800mah, and the transformer has 6930mah, that we lose 3-4% over night, which is pretty good.
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.

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!

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.
Ive been with the Gnwx for almost a year now. I love the speed etc but the battery life isnt cutting it for me anymore. ANd honestly, Im not into flashing like I once was. I use the phone for 90% internet, 8% text and 2% GPS. thats pretty much it. The Gnex gets BAD signal in the building where I work, when people on TMO have full signal, Im rocking 1-2 bars on a good day. Its usually 1 bar. Even other VZW people are at least 1/2-full bars at all times. Funny thing is, once Im outside I get good signal. But once I get into the country-ish areas, the signal gets hit again. I can get 1.75-2 hours of use from the extended VZM OEM battery. Ive tried different roms and kernels to not much help.
So all in all, I need a phone that has good radios and good-decent battery. I guess that phone would be the Maxx right? Best battery life and best radios? What do you guys recommend?
Absolutely. My buddy has a Maxx and although it is heavy and ugly, it is a rock solid phone.

I was thinking about that. As much as I dont want to, the thing that means most to me now is battery life and signal. Not the latest and greatest.
The maxx HD my brother got 32 hours with normal usage Facebook texts and what not

My buddy upgraded from ICS to JB and he told me he was only getting half the battery life he used to get.

I've read (the usual caveats here) that the Galaxy Note II has both very good reception and what I can only describe as astounding battery life. One tester mentioned 8 hours of onscreen time (!). And that's with the huge 5.5" screen. Also survived drop tests intact, has removable battery, sdcard slot, FM radio, excellent CPU benchmarks, and on and on.
Not to some people's taste, of course, but very interesting.
Hmmmmm, buy spare batteries?
;p
i used to get bad signal to till i got the 4.1.1 update now its better not perfect but better i agree i use it for 90% internet i usually charge over night and once in the day about 60% i would suggest maybe the nexus 4 or s3 there maybe a better battery out there probably cost about $80+ tho

Your buddy used a leak that isn't final. Not trying to bash or anything just pointing that out.
If you want battery life, get the Droid Rarz HD Maxx. Nothing beats that phone in terms of battery life. Plus its a great device with a nice screen.
The RAZR max has a great battery. Why not try a seidio 3500 mah battery, if you want to keep the nexus?

I used my buds Note 2 and that is a pretty awesome phone. I pounded it with downloads, streaming vids etc and was over 4 hours of screen on time. The battery was still at 43% even with that huge display at over 70% brightness. Pretty crazy stuff!

Yep. Note 2 Is probably the best battery life out now, but it is a huge phone. Better wait and hold it first OP haha.

Didn't realize the Note2 was receiving so much praise for its battery, that's really cool because I have been thinking about picking one up.
Note 2 - 3,100mAh
RAZR MAXX HD - 3300mAh
And I have no idea what carrier(s) but supposedly the new Lenovo P770 will have a 3500mAh battery.
I am very happy OEMs are starting to focus on the batteries, it took them waaay too long imo.
thanks guys. I dont want to get the Seido battery because its massive! Look how thin that maxx is..
External perhaps...
Not sure if you have just considered upgrading to the 2100mah samsung battery that was going to be stock with the original sale...supposedly adds like 30% to battery life.
I did that.
The maxx has great battery but please compare the beauty of the note 2 to the hideousness of just another droid. Besides Samsung never let's you down.

The Maxx HD is far better looking than the note 2 IMO.

What about the bootloader on the MAXX though? I know it's locked, and I dont believe it is in the Moto "BL unlock program". An unlocked BL is a requirement for me because of AOSP. This isn't usually something you have to worry about with Samsung.
