Is my battery life crappy because I made a mistake?

I let the thing drain until it turned off, then turned it back on and drain some more then charged it while it was off when I first got it.. should I get a new battery because right now I can barely last 8 hours with set cpu and all the stuff.. Ive done many calibration things but no change..
Juiceplotter.. Moderate use

I think it's unlikely you ruined your battery but it couldn't hurt to swap it out at a Sprint store, I'm sure they would do that for you
Is it free?

Getting the battery to too low of a voltage can damage it, yes. It's unlikely you actually managed that though.

Good or not so good?

I have 2 batteries. 1 from a HTC tp2 and the other from a HTC hero. Can I use either for a backup in my evo?

Did you visually compare both of these to the EVO battery?
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
They appear to be the same. I tried the one from the hero in my busted evo, it worked but I'm wondering, even though it worked is it good for the device?

It won't harm your phone. HTC uses the same type of battery in a lot of there phones.

Goodbye inspire hello atrix

I had an inspire and the screen was great loved the camera and of course android. But the battery life was so so even with the custom rom. Returned yesterday and got the atrix. No complaints so for other than stock blur which I downloaded launcher pro over. Battery life excellent and I like the screen. Anyone else with a good experience?

I think that's insinuating something but there seems like a silent majority who like their phone.

Atrix battery is sad too.

The atrix's battery is excellent....18hrs from full charge and still 30+% battery left...and this is with heavy usage (4+hours with screen on, browsing, downloading apps, youtube, whatsapp, etc)

Mine is just as good on the N1. I think that fthe battery is above average a little, but people are so used to crappy battery life that try think it is a gift from God; no, they just had bad batt. life

Agreed my battery life is amazing. Best smart phone battery i've had to date.
I get over 24 hours with my battery, even better than I was getting with my iPhone 4.

Got my new 1800 mA battery today...

Gonna try out the epic touch battery...was definitely a tight fit in the phone, but it fits!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Awesome, thanks for letting us know. I think you're the first to try one of those
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I read some reviews of the battery in Amazon before I ordered it...saw some people mention using it in the epic...just wanted to share the news in case others didn't know.

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

I got the 2x Anker 1800 with charger for 22 bucks and they've been pretty good to me so far.

I think the OEM might hold it's life longer than Anker, I also have one and I enjoy having the small boost in battery life

This. Lol if it was only $9 more for OEM it was more than worth it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Clue, how much did you pay for an OEM 1800, if you don't mind me asking?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Paid $21...free shipping. Amazon...

Guess I'm the lucky one. My local Sprint store rep just handed me one and said, "Here ya go! Let me know how it works for ya!"
So far, battery life is MUCH better on CM9/AOKP vs. stock battery.

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

Those are not genuine oem batteries. They are Hong Kong knock offs.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.

so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back

Do replacement batteries damage the phone?

Can a cheap replacement battery cause any harm to my galaxy s4? I dont care if the battery is inferior and doesnt perform well because if it doesn't I'll just get rid of it but what I'm worried about is if it will continue to affect my phone after I stop using it...

If it's a cheap replacement battery it can explode and destroy your phone

No, it won't. The battery will just deliver less power. The phone won't be damaged unless it is so bad it overheats or delivers extremely high voltages or something

Not once and not twice, cheap replacement batteries exploded and destroyed the phone.
To the OP, if you want to buy a replacement battery, look at the accessories section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2165 and you'll see what battery you should buy :good:
