Anyone know what kind of battery are they using for myTouch 4G? Battery life is everything to me and I'm not the kind of person who carries around a charger all the time. I bought an EVO 4G batterry (1700mAH) for my G2 and it's amazing. With the EVO 4G battery my G2 can last up to a whole day of heavy usage.
I know myTouch 4G is running on a 1400mAH battery but is there an extended battery like how the EVO 4G battery can fit into the G2.
1700 is the highest so far
I would expect the battery life on the Mytouch 4G to be pretty good, certainly much better than the EVO.
The processor is basically the same processor as the G2 clocked a little faster (1Ghz vs 800Mhz) and running Sense instead of Vanilla Android which would hurt the battery life, but the battery is larger 1400 ma, vs 1300 so I would expect the battery life to be close.
The G2 battery life is excellent, I consistently get over 18hrs with moderate usage and connected to WiFi a good bit of the time.
The Mytouch 4G battery is not as long as the G2's battery.
the new 1ghz snapdragon should use less battery compared to the older version since the chip size is smaller.
Today I am at over 9 hours using the phone for calls for about a third if that. Used the WiFi all day and have moderate usage.
Phone comes with decent battery life. I can tell you exact #s but it requires a battery pull and I'm currently typing on it so I don't think it would turn out so well. Lol

Well I bought a battery from Google so I switched to a first gen Mytouch to charge the N1 new battery. I have heavy heavy useage out of my androids. Mytouch is running 2.1 Cy and Nexus is 2.2. I chatted, surfed, and texted a lot yesterday from 7 till 11 and my battery was only down to 84%.
My question is how can en inferior phone run Android more efficiently than the N1. Is it the display that is the huge difference maker? My battery life stayed the same after I flashed to 2.2. What do you guys think?
It's because it's inferior it needs less power.
Like how smaller engined cars use less fuel.
Yeah good point but processor and display take up less but like a 4 cylinder run alot slower than a v8 mustang. thank you I guess I was so distraught about the batter that I didn't give way to logic
Does the evo have this?
Nope. In fact, when the Evo is on 3G, it starts recharging.

on wifi i get good life but on 3g it goes meh
I've noticed that 3G mode murders the battery as well. I was out last Saturday night and put the phone into 3g only mode because I hadn't tweaked it enough to trust battery life under 4G or WiFi. The damn thing was dead in 4 hours of very little use.
Really, it's not much wonder though because the 3G chipset in it is the first Rev.A chipset Qualcomm ever produced. Why they chose it I'll never understand.
is this phone as bad with 3g drain as the epic 4g?
It's bad with battery until you freeze all things verizon.
Did not use car charger once this week since purchasing titanium pro.
good day.
This phone is as good with battery as every other android phone i've ever had (its my 5th). For instance, I can watch a 1hr video on my phone with battery power and it will drop 10-15%. Thats not terrible, really.
no 3g bug?
Maybe you could elaborate on what the 3g bug would be from the epic.
good day.
Usage of 3g data would mean battery be dead much quicker than on wifi im talking bout 12 hrs to 4 or 5

As you use the phone, it burns through battery life, but standby time is astounding. I have Juice defender and juice plotter on and have been testing it. It is actually amazing how long it can prolong your life. I unplugged my phone at 6:30 am and it is 1:03, it is at 78% and with my current usage projected to last an additional 24 hours on this one charge. Impressive indeed.
of course but a certain phone with similar power and screen can efficiently use 3g while epic cant
So I'm looking at buying a EVO and wondering about battery life. I have a Hero and can usually make a day without charging. Stock rom, wifi on, not many calls, checking email/facebook frequently and some internet surfing is a normal day.
How will the EVO battery match up?
Thanks
When I first got my EVO the battery life sucked. I probably got 6 hours at most out of it. Now with the way it's set up it lasts well over a day, which is much longer than my Hero ever lasted.
My experience so far is Evo is much better except for calls. Calls seem to eat battery real quick.

It is the exact same battery and uses much more power(bigger screen, 4G, .....) But does have more ROMS in the future and updates always help battery life.
I had two Hero's on my plan, and now two Evo's...
The phone will eat more battery when the screen is on, and you are browsing the internet, (especially with 4G turned on), but otherwise, I seem to get better battery life than I did with my Hero's!
Rooting and flashing a ROM with a decent kernel will usually give better results.
I've had mine on today for a little over 13 hours, with full screen brightness, live wallpaper, and 4G on... I could never achieve these results before.
The hero got horrid battery life I had to carry 2 spares to last a day ...but I use my phone a ton my Evo lasts just thru the day ....

Batteryleft on my Hero projects 46.47 hours under full charge. It's my daily business phone. Running 2.4.0 from flipz. OC widget under clock to 246 when screen is off.
On my EVO, I took batteryleft off the phone. It is what it is. It doesn't charge the battery right, sometimes I'll unplug and it'll drop 3 % pts. I attribute it to the supplier wanting to limit G access, wanting to hype and spin about the "First". But it does make Iphone users quiver (mostly due to their ignorance), with the big screen and Hulu.
my wife went from a hero to a evo, and battery life appears at least as good.
as a nice bonus though, the hero battery works in the evo so you can carry that as a spare while trying it out.
My older Evo hardware 0003 used to SUCK.. Im talking 6-7 hours with medium use..
Then I got a newer 0004 hardware Evo.. I don't think it changed a DARN thing with battery, but my battery surprisingly is lasting a good 8-10 hours now..
But I don't care, I got the extended RED BATTERY from ebay, for 20.00 bucks.. Comes with a new back (not the UGLY Siedio back either, its smooth and conforms perfectly, plus it has the same feel)
Now my battery lasts about 2 days.. plus you don't even notice it bigger really and IMO since a phone is for well.. A phone and not a show off toy (even though I actually think it looks better with the bigger battery) I want to have a long battery life

I recently picked up the G2, and quickly rooted it and flashed it with the MoDaCo SENSE ROM r2, I love me some sense.
But it seems my battery life is horrible, maybe 4 hours of a little bit above normal use, maybe 5 hours of regular use. Even tried forcing just 2G for a day, to see if that helps, and same results.
Is Sense that much of a battery hog? Is my battery defective? Any other ideas about why the charge lasts so little?
Yes, Sense is a battery hog. Switch to an AOSP ROM for the best battery.

Not sure why your getting such poor battery life with sense. I average about 34-38 hrs with sense using CPU tuner, pershoot kernel and some other minor tweaks.That is with moderate use aswell.

That bad tho? I mean its the same phone as the DesireZ, and I have a hard time believing that a stock DesireZ only lasts 1/3 of a day.
@Utorrent76 - I haven't messed with kernels yet, maybe thats where my issues lie?
