Just recently got an Incredible. Using the HTC extended battery (2150 mAh) and I'm still only seeing ~14 hours of battery life. Also currently using CM7.
What is everyone else seeing?
I'm using the Redemtion Rom 2.2 with Incredikernel 12/21, and with the stock battery I can easily get over 20+ hours out of it. I'm also always on my phone. What kernel are you running? That might be your problem.
I'm using an 1800 battery and regularly kill my battery in half that time. I'm actually happy if I get 7 hours out of it. Since you have the 2150 battery pick up a wall charger for the stock battery and carry that on you too.

I'm running SkyRaider Athena 1.2 with Lou's #9, and I get around 20 hours. Pretty standard usage, nothing crazy.
Miui with invisiblek #28 or whatever cyan nightly on stock kernel. 30 hours +/- isn't a problem. Stock battery.

I am seeing about 18hrs.
Running seidio 3500. Moderate to very heavy use i see around 16 hours. With little use to moderate a full day and a half to two days. Running incredibly re-engineered with ziggy's 012111 bfs kernel ocing to 1.036. How you people are getting 20+ hours on the stock battery is beyond me.

I'm with you on this. Although I send around 1000 texts a day use the phone probably an hour tops and use the internet a good bit. I call this average usage some call it insane so maybe some peoples average usage is barely talking it.

Well,
I was on the stock 2.2 OTA and I was doing ok. it was better than 1.1.
However I've recently been running 2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865331) and my battery life has improved a little bit.
I'm running virtuous 3.2 and usually after a the day I usually get home with about 60% with pretty light usage.
someone's addicted to/spends too much time texting

With very light usage (listening to audible books via audible.com app for about 6-8hrs, 5-10mins of phone calls, limited internet) with the 2150 battery and Lou's #4 kernel I got 52hrs from charger to 14%. That is definitely not the norm, but I thought it was pretty cool =p.
Normal moderate to heavy usage I get 24ish hours from charger to 10-15%.
Na up where I live everyone gets the $5 or $10 Verizon o ly prepaid texting plan. So that's the only way we talk.

Uh 1000 texts a day. Lets say you get 5 hours of sleep. That's 19 waking hours. Thats like one text message sent every minute for 19 hours. Not to mention received. i hope you're exaggerating hahah
I use mine kind of heavily with texting maybe a couple hundred total per day. 2-3 hours screen on total, maybe 15 minutes of talk time. I get 19 hours according to Battery Left. Running CM7
I'm averaging. Quite honestly there are many times where I don't get a break to actually put my phone down for like an hour or so at a time. But I judge the thousand a day based on me resetting my handcent set counter and two weeks later iI was at just over 15000 sent.

52 hours really? I guess its possible but next time you think you could take a screen shot of Whats been using the battery folder? Im really curious about this.

Sure, I am playing around with CM 7 nightlies at the moment, but I'll switch back to my old set up and see if I cant get a ss of a number close to that for you.
As I said though, it was very light usage for a few days.
I was running CM6 with invisiblek #18 and getting over 18 hours on the stock battery with pretty consistent use
Using SR 3.5 rom and chad's latest incredikernel.
With mostly having the screen off (no more than 45 min on) it lasted 48+ hours with 22% to spare - note that is not my normal usage, just a test.
Normal usage for me is:
Solid 5-6+ hours of screen on, and it'll last a good 23 hours (as of last night, long day lol) -- Most of the time after a full day I'll plug it in with 40%+ left.
Daily usage also includes
- 45mins of GPS usage
- 2-4 hours of Pandora streaming
- ~50 txts
- ~20 minutes of phone calls
- Youtube for ~45 mins
- E-mail / web ~ an hour
- 20 minute of games
I practically live on my phone but usually make it to the end of the day with 40+% left, depending on the day may be less- but I've never gotten the notification since the Kernel and ROM change.
Overclocking above the standard 998 will drain your battery pretty quickly, more than most other things you're doing. I noticed this and also noticed that overclocking didn't do much for me because 998 was smooth for every game I was playing.
Using HTC extended battery also and I do not bump charge, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051
I just find that hard to believe. If i stream pandora for an hour with a full charge it will drain my battery down about 20% thats using lou's #8 kernel and his redemption 2.3 rom. Thats with a 3500 seidio battery after a wall charge not a plugged in charge.
Not doubting you one bit but damn thats alot of tasking on a stock extended battery too end the day with 40% left.

Yeah so I burn through my battery in 6 hours... people say that it can last 24 with heavy usage. But that's total BS. So is there an extended battery pack that I could get?

I'm interested as well, I did buy a 2200mah battery on ebay but considering its coming from china i got a good 2-3 weeks before i see it.
I was looking at that and wondered if was true and not total bs. PM me when u get it plz

If you burn through your battery in 6 hours youre doing something wrong. Try.draining your battery all the way and then charge it over night

My notifications are ALL off, i run a few chat apps for maybe 30 minutes tops, but all i really do is text. My total USAGE comes out to about 4 hours and 30 minutes with Nighttime Powersaver. And my screen time is usually about 14-16 hours depending and i'm not rooted or anything.
Im texting and using data constantly...

Also I did the battery calibration so I shouldn't have to drain the battery and fully charge it....

You should consider rooting it and running GreyBlur. I was running through the battery like crazy, actually got AT&T to swap for another Atrix and still had the same problems. GreyBlur really improved my battery life and I'm able to get through a day of medium usage and still have about ~40% when I plug it in at night.
So if im going through the battery fast that means it could be a problem with the battery?

Had same problem rooted went to greyblur I'm at 20hrs and at 30% right now since my last unplug been using it hardcore for the last 4 hrs

there is a 5000 milli amp battery for the atrix. i get 10 hours on 1930 so by simple math, this should get

I have a celltronix universal portable power pack. (4000mAh)
Has two USB ports to charge stuff, comes with multi tips to charge stuff, but I just use the usb cord that came with my atrix. Outputs 5v, charges in about 4 hours.
I don't use it much on my atrix, but I have before, just plug it into the usb port and recharges my phone, can get almost 2 full recharges out of it for the atrix.
I like it cause I can also use it to charge other items also! Used it for my iphone 3gs before I got the atrix.
You can charge power pack from wall, car, or comp usb.(mini-usb plugin to charge it.
Just google "celltronix universal portable power pack" it will pop up on a number of sites. ( I bought mine in a truck stop)
You burn through it because you have a defective product.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yea, burning through it in 6 hours means you definitely have a bad battery. GreyBlur destroyed my battery life though, not exactly sure why it increased some peoples' but decreased others.
I had greyblur loaded once then went into recovery wiped everything then installed again first time battery barely made it to 4-5 pm when I went to for at 8 now 13+ hrs unplugged at 9am made it till 12:30am id say that's awesome. U probably got bad battery get couple new ones from what I hear they r cheap. Every phone is different t as far as battery and speed like my battery is awesome but when I run the graphic test I get 2300-2500 scores when I see others getting 2600-2800+

Ok. So i'll go to the AT&T Store and what should I say so that theyll give me a new one? They are hardass's and I need to convince them, any help on that part?
Don't lie. Tell them you think the battery life has been unsatisfactory. And with a battery that big you should be able to get better than 6 hours.
I burn through my battery pretty quick too though. Today it was dead around 6 hours (11-5) charged and now near death again. But I don't have a screen timeout, notifications on, downloading podcasts on listen(listening to them on speaker), everything on 3G. I don't care what phone you have, that's killing the battery. Its hard to make a battery last on a lazy Sunday.

Make sure you GPS is off when you do not need it. It uses up alot of battery when on. I left it on once for two hours and killed 20% battery.

The strangest thing has been happening with my battery life lately. I as well have gb 2.3.3 unrooted pos and I have been getting to around 50 percent battery and will usually have something like camera lock up so ill reboot. After the reboot though my battery goes back up to 95 percent and stayed above 90 the rest of the day. I'm very resourceful and turn off all data features when not in use but this was after recording 3.6 gigs of hd video. I have the seido extended battery and even atm its about 90 percent after being duly charged and up for about 2 hours off charger. I'll reboot around 50 percent again and check but for 3 days now it goes back up...strangest thing. Maybe worth a shot for you to check.

Change britness to 20-30%, keep autosync to minimum, use juice defender. After flashing u should've calibrated the battery.my battery is great for my ussage of my phone.it lasts 18-22 hours with data on all the time , talked 1-3 hours per day , music 30 min per day and browsing on the internet when i'm borred.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If you keep juice defender installed in theory your data is not on all time.
I never got over 8 - 10 hours with 3g on all time, however I keep my brightness around 50-60%.
With green power premium and data on every 15 mins for 2 mins I get around 18-20 hours of usage but usually with more stand by than using the phone.
If I were to uninstall mail sync, what's up, facebook etc etc maybe I can get a lot more out of the phone but what's the point to pay for a data connection if you can't use it?
True. I have a job with a lot of spare time so...... i use the phone a lot.i like juice defender because when i lock the screen it kills data and checks from time to time all the stuff that needs data

From what i learned the calibration means after flashing let it drain until the phone closes then charge it to 100% unplug and delete batterystats.bin

I do it about 1.5 - 2 times per day.
A friend of mine do it about 3 times per day (he likes to play lots of games, even though he's an old guy, go figure...). I had a discussion with him about this, I told him that lithium batteries die after about 400 charges (from empty to full) which means he will kill the battery in about 3-4 months. He told me that polymer batteries like in the G2 last longer. Is this true ? this will be kind of sad to have a phone with a dead battery you can't replace...

What he said. I usually put mine on charge when I go to bed, whether it needs it or not. It was at 60% last night with 4 hours of screen time. I don't play games other than solitaire and don't facebook it or anything. Emails, phone calls and play around with it like heck.
It's probably best to charge more often, before you dip below 50% if possible.

While I get relatively good battery life of about 4 hours screen time between charges, getting 4 hours and still having 60% left, means you simply rarely browse the internet.

Same here, once charge every 2-3 days.
usually 11+ hours of screen on time.
Once every other day. Not to worry though. The back cover pops off very easily making the battery simple to replace. ( excluding the Verizon model)

I usually use tapatalk several times a day. Drudge report and news 360. Check 5 email accounts several times a day with kaiten email. A bit of texting. I guess this it's why this phone is so great for my type of use.

Every 2 days i charge my phone once Erica
"day" = 24 hours?
"empty" = 1% charge (forced shutdown)?
"full" = 100% charge?
Using that criteria, my answer is currently .043 times per day.
:good:
Yes I charge my phone once a night on wireless charger. At 69% 12 hours into it. I use it to browse XDA and check email. Granted I worked most of the day vs screen time.
