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)

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.

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..

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.

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 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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back
So, now that I've realized and begun the painful process of accepting my battery won't make it until my bed time (11ish). Anyone get a good find on an extended battery. Preferably one that doesn't require added bulk. A 2500 mah that fits the stock slot would be soooo nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Also interested in this. The phone is so thin a bigger battery might not add too much bulk anyway. Any word on official extended battery?
Just buy a spare battery.

Do a search in this or the Q&A forum. There was someone who found an expensive one but he was getting something like 40 hours usage! The battery comes with its own battery cover that will replace the stock cover.

I'm trying to avoid adding bulk. However, what's the best one that would require a cover?

Extended batteries are nice, but you can never find a decent case to fit one. I'll go through the trouble of pulling off my case to pop in my spare battery. :cyclops:

Hello folks,
These kinds of threads can be found for other phones but I think we haven't such thing here for our beloved GN.
So please take a screenshot of your battery status from android setting and uplaod it here. Especially from the screen on time.
In addation please mention your ROM and kernel and their versions so we can have an accurate comparison and nice statistic pool.
Cheers,

Guys these stats do not mean much. I really like the idea of the thread and would like to see what stats other people are getting with their battery life. But all I can see are stats posted when the phone is hardly in use.
On screen time is all in bits and pieces. Can someone post a picture of their stats with their AWAKE and ON SCREEN tabs at full blue - meaning it was being used constantly. Those stats would mean alot more than these. Cause anyone can not use the phone at all and post their stats up having easily more than 1 & 1/2 day of battery.
I for one do not have screen shots but I do recall not getting more than 4-5 hours of on screen time.
I know this isn't long, but this is heavy usage screen on 75%of the time, I think it's awesome battery status for this.
And I still have 54% battery.
