Finally below 10% juice left. See images. This is the battery from Verizon's site. If ENOUGH of us buy this battery, they'll make cases for it. Right now, they claim there isn't enough of a demand. I see sooooooo many people complain about battery life, but don't want the 3500mAh battery, due to its size. This IS the happy medium. Lets go folks!

This battery is only a little more than 1/3 added juice than the stock battery, so if I can get 3 days, stock users can get almost 2! The key is to use setcpu and create a profile for"screen off" and set the max cpu in that profile to 460 or so.
Good luck!

Awesome!
I have the same battery, I love it...What other settings are you using? Hydra kernel v1.0 right?
I just went out and bought the battery based on this post.
Can you tell me your EXACT setup?
Thanks.

You guys are smart! I have the 8/1 leak but just about to upgrade to the new "official" leak. Yes, it's the hydra v1.0 ocuv kernel @1.15GHz. S-off, with clockworkmod 2.5.0.5. The theme is the manup revolution theme, but I'm not sure I'll use that one again because the battery meter in the notification bar is not accurate and when I try to change it, I get issues.
The main thing, besides a good bump charge, is the setcpu profile. I'm running setcpu in "on demand". Make one profile for "screen off" and make your max cpu 460 and leave the minimum at 245 or whatever. I made a 2nd profile for battery less than 25% that makes the max 560MHz. I've had NO non-responsiveness. Just always there when I need it and even with the "screen off" profile set to low CPU speed, I still hear my phone vibrate before I get the email in outlook, at work.
Any more questions, just let me know!
P.S. Check my sig to see if it answers anything else you want to know about my set-up.

This battery is a great piece of hardware. It allows the phone to lay flat while protecting the camera lens and as jermaine151 mentions, there is more phone to hold onto while typing. This is a great buy and I say that even though I paid the extra cost by going through HTCpedia prior to Verizon making this available.

you should note you had 3g/blue tooth off that whole time which is I'm guessing how you achieved the 2% cell standby. Also the phone was only awake for 7mins/hr
i like the way it sits in my hand with the battery, give a nice feel. before the phone was to light/
thanks for the link of setcpu..had no idea it was free for xda members! I have the seidio battery, 1750mAH? I think. But I will look into your battery

- No setCPU, but kernel has one built in.
- No bump charging.
- Light use, I purposely tried to not use it too much just because I was curious how long it could make it (like if I were ever stuck somewhere without a charger, knowing how long my phone could last if I did not constantly stay on it).
~ 1.5 hours of 3G pandora
~45 mins of texting
~30 mins phone calls
~20 minutes of 'My Tracks' app
~15 mins GPS navigation
~10 mins angry birds (tehehe, couldn't resist)
3G, GPS and location were ON entire time.
Thought I'd share
since skyraider is a sense rom you can use that kernel?
i thought incredikernal was AOSP?
edit:
i'm retarded.
was thinking of the new incredikernal. fail on my part!
invisiblek is AOSP, incredikernel is Sense
(actually chad aka incredikernel is starting to develop some new GingerBread AOSP kernels)

2150mAh definitely, Kernel next and Skyraider after that. I saw noticeable improvements when I used Sky Raider over stock, and used chad's incredikenel over stock so I feel they have significant improvements on battery life for sure.
With screen off I'll get about 1.5 hours per %, with screen on and doing things it's completely different.
Much of this test was to see how long it would last with screen off and with those services (like 3G) running.
Very impressive. Don't think I can go over 24 hours with stock battery, CM7 and incredikernel.
I think I can get 24 hours, with reasonable use. I use juice defender which REALLY helps a lot - at least in my life.

the 2150 makes the phone so ugly and disfigured I couldnt use it. I am running SR3.5 but I get great batt life with Lou #8 kernel and the 1800mah Inc/Evo batt.
Unfortunately battery problems will be around for a while, did you hear the rumors about the T-bolt batt? LOL, 3 totals hours on a full charge! These "phones" or whatever you want to call them are so powerful and do so many different things its hard to design a strong battery at that size. Phone management is crucial.
thats impressive, im still using my stock battery and I'm tired of worrying about it dying and bump charging

I too got some crazy long battery life on Skyraider 3.5. Only reason I left was because ihtfp is no longer supporting them. When I tried MIUI for the 3rd time I really got into it (using LP) but I haven't been able to reproduce that awesome battery life I had on SR... Yet, at least.
I also dearly miss the Awake Time stat. All aosp roms should have that.

I got my case from here:

Without the case I'll admit it looks a bit weird though not that bad.
And about the thunderbolt only lasting 3 hours?
lul cakes, I read this:

I thought HTC would have learned from the incredible that they seriously need to upgrade the battery. I hope they do a full redesign where they stick just a long battery down the entire back of the phone so people don't have to get extended batteries that bulge out.

Well, your issue isn't the Evo itself, it's your personal phone.
I too had a bad battery. Use or no use it lasted for 6 hours max. Said f it! Got extended battery. NOW its a manly man's phone! It's got some girth! Feels like a brick lol. But I'm also a power user. Even so, 17 hours of use on first full charge. Definitely a top mod in my book.
Sent from the Evo
Try an SBC kernel cause battery calibration isn't ur answer. Also its not ur phone its ur kernel and also the governor and oc settings u set on ur phone.
free the dirk
Deck 1.3d. Tiamat 407 SBC. Conservative governor. (Start w 384min and 998max) Play w the values a little. Battery calibration app. V6 (optional). Don't see how it could go wrong. My battery has me in love w my Evo again after almost a year of owning it. Sense is a resource hawg. Until gingersense can figure out how to get the battery life froyo sense had it wont be back on my Evo anytime soon. I lost a t9 dialer going to Aosp...the theme engine makes up for that as mixer looks nice.
No kernel, voltage modification, or ROM is going to change the fact that your battery is bad.
I'm going with what Matty said as you all don't know what I've gone through with this phone. I've gotten all of the mods I was supposed to. I did everything possible I really think it's just a bad battery

Stock battery.
Hey everyone,
i've been rocking this.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...ywords=hyperion+samsung+galaxy+s+III+4000+mah
for about 4-5 days now.. ordered it off Amazon for a STUPID cheap price.. and i must say.. wow. 5/5
I normally like Mugen better, and i'm going to get a mugen battery whenever they make one..but this a GREAT replacement for the time being..
i have a PEBBLE BLUE T-Mobile galaxy S III as well.. and the White back actually looks really nice MIXED with the blue!
Also i love the FEEL of the back.. i actually like it better then the Stock GS3 itself.. it adds more weight and SOLID feel to the overall product and i LOVE IT! it's better then a stock GS3 by far.. actually feels like it's own new phone.
The battery life? definitely top notch.. i get by 3 days sometimes with heavy usage, texts, FB.. Sync turned on GPS.. all of it.
Highly recommend this... :good::good:

The only problem with carrying it as a spare is you also need to carry the battery cover. But if you were to order two of them..... use one as your main battery and carry the second one as a spare and you don't need to carry an extra battery cover.

So 15$ its a steal. buy 2 if you need to.

I installed the latest c firmware (d in build prop) with LG flash tool (NOT UPGRADE), a CLEAN install.
wiped(factory reset) before flashing, then in flash tool cleared and made a CLEAN install and factory reset after to be safe (3 resets) .
Now I get very few screen misses, and screen on time 4.5 hours.

Hi smaberg,
I was wondering if you are on the Euro 815 version of the G4? Based on your post I'm guessing you are? As a guy who knows what he/she is doing, I was wondering if you could make a flashable zip of the version d firmware? I have a mac and my understanding is you need a pc for the LG flash tool?
Figured I would ask and would greatly appreciate if you could help!!
Do you have the same set of apps installed as you did before the firmware and resets?
I saw better battery results on my second G4 vs my first, some of which I assume was because I installed a lot less apps on the second unit. Which seems reasonable to me.
What device is the OP using?
Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
I'm on international 815 (Euro).
Still using the exact same apps(didn't use LG backup Restore as it brings back the old draining Barry problem from my old backup).
And NO I can't make an zip, as it would skip some important steps. I mean I can make it, NO problem, but then you will end up with the exact same problem add the old.
hey Smaberg, can you outline the step to flash the new version? I'm using 815, but since i'm residing in Asia, my phone is not seeing any upgrades.
Yeah i also like to get exact steps you made to flash

I know, but compared to before, with only 2 hours, sometimes even less worth stock a and b I'm pretty ☺ happy, now I'm going to deactivate some junk and see the results, and when I'm done I'll share it.
I'm trying to get the best battery without root, then with root and some of mine scripts and files mod. And we'll see where we stand. In the end maybe an ROM pure made for battery as in the old days. If some still want this? I thought/think people mostly want bling bling and speed...

Hi,
I would definitely be interested in a battery life based ROM. I find that premium phones have more than enough power you need (if youre not a gamer) so as long as the UI is smooth battery life is more important to me.

Ravi

That's weird, you have the economy saver logo activated but still have 62% of battery life...

You can turn it on manually which some people do to prolong battery life rather than just when on low battery.

Correct I have it on pretty much all the time. It doesn't effect anything I do on the phone and I get a lot better battery life as you can see combined with the use of App Ops, DisableService, and greenify

I don't use it because of the annoying orange colour change... How did you get rid of that??
Hey all!
I purchased the Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) off of Craigslist for a screaming deal of 30 bucks in April. It was a great device and at first I didn't notice the issues. After awhile though, I began to notice that it would heat up doing very menial tasks, such as web browsing. This would cause excessive battery drain and also performance issues. I have also noticed that during undemanding gaming it would heat as well. This issue isn't seen as much on the stock Touchwiz ROM (seen most obviously in custom ROMs) but is still present. So, I've a few questions for whoever is willing to help me out a little:
1. Is this issue always present on this phone, despite condition? Or is it a result of years of use? Or neither?...
2. Would a new S4 (preferably GT-i9505) have the same issues?
3. Is this a result of some difference between Sprint's variant and the i9505?
Thanks for any responses. FYI, I only use the phone over WiFi (Sprint isn't my carrier).
Same problem
Have you tried a new battery?

No; most of the reviews for them on Amazon say that they enlarge after a few charges. My sister has an S4 with that issue, and it's literally ripped her phone apart over time, separating the screen from the body and even causing the home button to fall off. If you could provide a link to a new stock battery that'd be great.

I had 6 different batteries for my S4 and never had that problem. Best thing to do is buy an OEM Samsung battery or one from a respected 3rd party such as Anker. I swear it does wonders. Especially on a device as old as this. It's a lot cheaper than buying a new phone.

Lol, the inflating battery my sister has is from Anker. So I'll probably stick with an OEM battery.

I personally always rotated about 3 batteries, using an external charger. Never had to charge my phone and always had a fully charged spare when I went out.

Pain in the neck to boot up every time though. Neat thought however.

More of a pain than charging your phone? It takes 30 seconds compared to hours.

Okay, I see your point. So does this really improve performance and/or heating issues?

Performance, no. It's a battery. It powers the device, that's it's only purpose. Battery life, yes. For performance, I would recommend trying a different ROM. A new battery should help with overheating, but could also be being caused by a number of things like apps running in the background and many other things. I recommend using Greenify if you aren't using it already.

Is the Team Wicked X ROM banner a little hint-hint?
I've found CM13 to be the best performer for me. My main concern is overheating while doing simple things like web browsing.

On my PC I have a signature, the app doesn't allow you to use banner signatures anymore. Use whatever works best for you, but if you haven't tried it I guarantee it is the most updated TouchWiz ROM for this device by far.
