- 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)

To what do you attribute the most battery life to?
o 2150 mah battery?
o Kernel?
o Skyraider?

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.

With a case on it, it's really not bad looking at all. Looks pretty sweet, and have gotten a couple of compliments on it
I got my case from here:
http://htcpedia.com/news/case-cover-htc-droid-incredible-extended-batteryc.html
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:
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-thu...ored-to-be-due-to-poor-battery-life-20110228/
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.

Thats a rumor about the TB, supposedly it has a more energy efficient processor compared to our inc so it will last longer with the smaller battery. Maybe on 4g it lasts on 3 hours but no way with normal use

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!

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?

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/

Up to 182 hours now with 92 hours of awake time. Seeing excellent battery life as well throughout the day for this phone.
SkyRaider is fantastic, I've been running SR Athena myself as my daily driver for a month-ish now and have zero complaints. SR is a great ROM, too bad there's only a few updates en route for us down the road.

How exactly is it a fake?
132 hours of UP TIME is not 132 hours UNPLUGGED.
That's 132 hours (now 205) without a reboot. Not without being charged.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at here trying to call me out saying it is fake. What is so fake about it? Enlighten me.
And on another note that is actually relevant,
Hard to argue with that kind of battery life...and in a low-signal area to boot.

I posted the screenshot of the page to show total uptime, and even said "Up to 182 hours now with 92 hours of awake time. Seeing excellent battery life as well throughout the day for this phone." If that didn't get the point home in conjunction with the word "stable" then oh well, misunderstandings happen. The majority of the posters in the thread certainly seemed to get the point. Crashing and reboots seem to be more of a problem with a few different ROMs so I was pleasantly surprised with the stability of Skyraider in comparison.
I just find it curious that when one person misunderstood, a consecutive few more decided to jump on the bandwagon without thinking before they spoke. Interesting .
That's how I took it from the beg, the bandwagon just helped reinforce my misinterpretation... glad u found a rom that makes u happy, seriously, its a great feeling. And don't let the haters get to ya so much
I have 454 hours uptime with mikmik's "incredibly R-Engineered Z 1.1" rom right now... Just sayin'
Although as soon as Skyraider comes out with a Z rom I'll be back!
SkyRaider is pure awesomeness.

Currently at 3 days (72hours) up time and 50% battery level.
Admittedly I haven't really been using the phone, but it's been syncing gmail, Facebook, twitter etc and picking up the occasional text message.
Cm7 btw, standard battery.
Phone was fully charged last night at 11.15, unplugged since then... at 36% now at 7.50... :-(
Its a brand new battery, old one was even worse, maximum of 5 hours of very light to moderate usage and need to plug in again...
Using CM7, somehow I feel there is something wrong with this phone itself... will see what happens when t-mo gets the phone back for repair...

Well the iPhone 4 does not allow you to change features that alter the battery life too much like the HTC Desire Z. The iPhone 4 uses a stronger battery that allows the iPhone to reach a maximum of about 36 hours. HTC Desire Z's battery life all depends on use but this phone could last about the same with moderate use. Hope I helped

I don't know if the battery life really sucks or not... When I don't just touch the phone, it lasts atleast 2 days and more... but as soon as I start using it, well... battery just want juice all the time...
Changing to 1800mAH will certainly help as it is bigger and as some of those who have experienced, it certainly lasts somewhere around 40-50 hours.
As a note, I have even tried the Battery calibrator app, can't really say if it helped.
I have the mugen 1800mAh battery and i have to say its a nifty little product. It easily handles my usage (constant texting and voice calls with max brightness and gps always on) without breaking a sweat. By the time i charge it at the end of the night, its usually at about 40% and unplugged for about 16hrs.
The stock battery would shut down by mid afternoon with the same usage.
I am aware of other battery solutions, such as the Incredible battery mod and such, but i found the mugen solution to give the most convenient results. Plus you get a warranty you cant really get from some ebay sellers.

8-40 hours, depends on how I use it.
I'm getting around 8-14 hours depending, when I'm on wifi it'll go for two days usually. When I'm outside and connected to 3g/HSPA+ around 12
I got a 3500 mAh battery and I'm running my G2 on a Amazing Larry's OC UV kernel which is based off of Pershoots. Been running 1.6Ghz for a little over four hours and I'm at 88%. Been using it for twitter/facebook/texting/music. I definitely don't mind the extended battery cover since I can run double the clock speed without killing the battery.
I sure hope this fairs better in the next week or two. I hardly used the phone, streamed about 30 mins of slacker.com and didn't make more than 10 phone calls and 2 texts.

If it was only one of the 1750mah batterys then you really should've done a bit more research, 3rd party batteries typically only have ~80% of the capacity they are rated at giving you ~1400mah or quite a bit less than the stock battery.

No it absolutely doesn't.
The 20 dollar one on ebay constantly goes to "low battery" dies and then when you reboot the phone it has 40+ % battery left. That thing is junk!

What are you talking about? I bought mine for like 14 dollars and its been rock solid for months without a single one of those things ever happening. I also started a thread in the accessory section which has been there for months and not one person has posted issues like that.

You probably should have went with the $20 Yoo Bao 2800mah. I get over 24 hours with 3g on all day and more usage than you.
Got my 3500 battery for about 10 bucks. Lasted about 17 hours with 40% left before I charged it on monday.

I get well over 24 hours with my Seidio 3300, without turning off Wifi, or doing any special techniques to save battery.
Give it a chance. If I remember right, first charge kinda sucks, but 2nd and third improve a lot.

Well I'm hoping running a leaked 2.3 is part of why it didnt do so good.

The 2.3 leak is HORRIBLE on battery life. There are complaints of CPU usage constantly, plus we don't know what processes can be killed yet.

Good, back to 2.2 I go
Fyi I'm on acs rom 2.2 and the seido isn't impressive. It absolutely wouldn't last a full day with 4g on much less just 3g with pandora etc. I did all the charging etc etc. Only reason I sprang for the seido is bc sprint paid for it. Maybe I would of done the yao bao batt but honestly I don't think it matters. I have set cpu to 200-800 and never with this phone has the battery been amazing with any rom or any kernal. Just the nature of the beast.

My battery life blows and it's not for a lack of conditioning or calibration. I know how Li-ION batteries need to be calibrated and that they only last for about 300-500 charges. So I'm basically just kinda getting ****ty battery life.

Have you tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990
The Evo has a bigger, older, more battery consuming core.
Not much can be done about that.
If ur rooted throw on decks aosp rom with tiamat 3.3.7 kernel. Apparently that is the key to amazing battery life

I've tried everything. It's just a bad battery. I only get 4 hours on tiamat CM7 with undervolt by 225 and cpu set to 691-921
Yeah. A well known fact. Old news, one might say. Some steps can be taken, but it's not going to drastically change. Could buy one those huge batteries .. *cringes*

Get a replacement? lol
Is that 4 hours with constant usage?
On and off usage (medium use) and I can't goto sprint and get a replacement. I'm stuck with bestbuy's replacement plan and I have to wait for my dad to call them.

Medium use I can easily get 16 to 20 hours.
Definitely a hardware issue
If its just a bad battery why not get another?

I can't just goto a sprint store though. It's under best buy. I mean I can see if a manager friend of mine can help me 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.

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

Did this not stand out to anyone else?
How on the world do you under volt that much A....
And 2 why would you set your min voltage so freaking high? Use, 245 or 128, I am under clocked to 128 614, which you hold yours constantly above that...
And E, I assume you are a power user. What is am average day like?

Non-SBC kernel.
Tiamat 4.07 with -75mv lower voltage.
Admittedly, I've been using my phone constantly for the past three hours.
Before that, I was at 70%.
Stock battery.
