I woke up 20mins ago and I uplugged my evo from the wall...said 99% battery right now it said 83% and there were no apps running or anything,no phone calls no texts, nothing, it just sat on my desk.
anything I can do to optimize battery? I am considering buying one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-3500mAh-exte...Accessories&hash=item3cb822c62d#ht_4799wt_752
can I check if my 1500mah battery is good? thinking of going to sprint to have it checked out.
I searched and found a guide about plugging and unplugging the phone a few times but it did not help me.
That plugging/unplugging thing really works the best for and SBC kernel.
What setup are you running now (ROM/Kernel)?
There is a way that HTC released, it's in my signature.
Running synergy RC2 with latest radio package in the dev section.
try the radio setup I have in my sig.
Buy another battery. lol. But in the package with the external charging unit. so you can let your batteries run close to dead once in a while then just swap the battery. It'll keep those batteries in good shape. :-D Don't blame it on radios. But could be just that your signal/tower where you're at sucked for a few minutes. maybe they were working on a tower? who knows. Good signal=good battery
I bought this battery and can get 4 days off a single charge with normal usage, and 2 days with heavy usage: http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Exte..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1311442664&sr=1-2

I am going to try the uplugging charger trick again...the ac compressor on my car went bad and I'm trying to save a few bucks to get it fixed
I'm thinking of going the ebay route and getting a cheap 3500 mah battery.
damn I cant buy the 3500 >_< phone wont fit in my otterbox case, the max mah of a stock fit battery is 1800 right? Guess I'll have to settle for that
I wanted one of those, but sadly. like no one is smart enough to give us a real case to go around it. there aren't any supplies for it on cases. Plus it looses the point of the phone being at least a little light. makes it too thick.
Yeah, I tried to look for some but didn't find anything, my brother bought this phone for me on the local classifieds and the dude who sold it to him had 2 batteries for it with a wall charger...I don't use the second battery because its a pain in the ass to switch when you have an otterbox case. thats why I may get the 1800 battery, I've read around that its the same size as stock.

I tried one. It will work to charge the phone if it's turned off. It doesn't keep up when the phone is in use. In my case, using the GPS.
I'm still looking for an external battery like this that will extend the run time while I'm out hiking.
I didnt know you had to turn it off for this one.
I guess I should go with 2nd battery and cradle. Whats worth it 1350mah OEM vs 1600mah aftermarket? hmm.
Actually I have one that my wife bought me for Christmas, I use it on my HTC Tytn aka Hermes. I love it. I can plop in a set of freshly charged Energizer Nimh 2500mah batteries into it plug it into the phone and it it charges while I use it, no problems at all. It can take my extended life 3000mAh Hermes battery and take it from 20% up to about 80% charge in about an hour. Works great for me, as I have a car charger to go along with the Energizer AA batteries which charges 4 of them to full capacity in about 15mins. (granted they are scorching hot when they come out of the charger)
I will be posting a more in depth review of the Energi To Go charger in the Hermes section later tonight.
As for me I am a really happy customer.
nothing can beat this product. the advantage it has over all others is that you can recharge the unit with a wall outlet. no cords needed. i use it for my phone and my archos player. no one really talks about it so i guess i got lucky finding it.
http://www.semsons.com/pocpowban.html
I use the energizer to go. Not on a regular basis, but I keep it with me at all times. I use the 2500 rechargeables charged and when you need that extra power, you got it. I also have the seidio 1600 battery, but guess where that is? Always at home in a drawer. Energizer is really I think the best way to go. But since I flashed Duttys 6.1, I don't use it that much. The battery life in that rom is INCREDIBLE!! I run Blackberry connect 24/7, leave the house at 4am, back home on the charger about 9-10pm, still have over 50%, with moderate use during the day. So between Energizer 2 go, and Dutty, I'm gone

Thanks mate!
Circuit City had these units on sale for $4.17 until yesterday.
Looks like their supply is now exhausted.
I used Motorola P790. It is rechargeable and can have 30% recovery each 1and half hour.
Ok so I got this for Christmas from my wife. However I never really played with it. Here is a pic. (borrowed from the net however this is the exact same as mine)

Well I had forgotten to charge my phone for a couple days. So even with my 3000mAh HiCap battery it was down to 10% and warning me. I had to run out the door and was not going to be able to charge it anytime soon. So I grabbed it and plugged in the "Energi To Go" booster pack. The Energi To Go pack started blinking 2 blue lights to signal it was charging and my phone changed from "low batt" to external power mode. I tossed it in my coat pocket all plugged in and over the course of an hour it took my phone from 10% all the way up to 80%. It was freaking cool.
Well that was about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have found that I could ditch the expensive Lithium batteries that it comes with and use Energizer 2500mAh rechargeable NiMh's. With the quick charger it can Zap charge 4 AA's from dead to full charge in 15mins. Granted when they come out of the charger they are so scorching hot you can barley handle them. So now I can charge my phone at night, toss the 4 charged AA's in my uhm, (what is the new name for a fanny pack that you carry in your hand) Man Bag / Murse, LOL. If I had to I could probably go close to a week without any outside power. Or at the very least a 12hr stretch of playing Bubble Breaker with super bright turned on.
Its nice to know that I can toss the Energi To Go adapter in my car and always have access to power no matter what, even if I forget my car charger or walking around a mall for hours on end with the wife.
Even if my batteries do die. I can pop into any corner market buy 2 more AA's and be on my way.
So if you find yourself running out of juice on the go. This seems to be a great invention. It uses standard USB so I might even see if it will charge my other USB powered things like my GPS module and other stuff. Hmm wonder if it would charge my blue tooth headset. Might get a bit uncomfortable wearing 2 AA's on my ear. But hey its worth a try riiiight. So for the 30 bucks. I say pick one up. I really love mine.
Thanks for the review. I saw one of these in a store recently and almost picked it up...I think I will next time.
So i decided to use my old K610i battery in my XPERIA X1 because i noticed that they both use the same voltage 3.6 volts to be exact.
When using the k610i battery the phone seems fine and runs just as smoothly as before - only thing is i cannot charge the battery through the XPERIA X1 because i get an error message saings Alien Battery but that doesnt matter since its could just be use for emergencys or big trips and such - anyways let me know what you think.
Thought i'd give it a go - do ya'll think its safe though? dont want to damage my x1 lol

erm.. if u live in the us or are traveling to the us i'd expect u to be on the news once u get to the airport... dunno if its just me but it kinda looks like c4 to me.. but to answer ur question i'd expect it to be safe enough..
lol i see your concern lol - i can assure you it isnt c4 lol - tis just the back of the battery - had to flip it round cause the + and - terminals were different to the x1 battery
Oh wow, that looks ghetto, i hope it wont explode or something .

Lool i sure hope it doesnt!
to be fair i've done a pretty ameture job lol - cardboard and tape!
Any other opinions?
looks fine to me.
they use the same li-po/li-ion cells in all their batteries, so as long the voltage is the same in both batteries it doesn't matter.
current is limited chemically by the li-po/li-ion cells themselves and cannot go above a certain level, which clearly cannot be reached, cause otherwise xperia would not be using a li-po battery.

yep... i rather it was thicker then discharged... I spend lots of time on it, and I'm not fancy dancing with the charger all day long...
First report:
I charged it fully, and used it a bit but I must say that i was drained pretty quickly, but it can be related to my extensive bluetooth use that I began with since I got my Bluetooth gamepad at the same time, and the first two or three charges are never good, they reach their full capacity after some charges. I will report back when I have tried it again, a good sidenote is that it is really lightweight and easy to carry around
THX for report
I am waiting forward to it, mean while i'll buy 2.5 battery [low cost, worth to try...]
waiting for any news from U Mr. Sir
I just brought a spare normal battery from dealextreme and keep it with me for emergency, seems to preform the same as the original, plus side is you get double performance.

I was thinking about such option but it's quite annoying to charge everyday two batteries... at least you have extra charger - for me its gonna be extra cost...
but thx for info
It's been nearly 27 months of daily and intensive use of my oneplus one and I can't be happier, not even consider buying a new smartphone with the performance of this little one.
I was in fact considering buying a new battery, wasn't noticing any noticeable decrease in battery life but it might just be because of the slowness of the wearing and buying a new one will immediately result in much better results.
I found an app called accubattery that tests wear by measuring charging currents vs charge percentage over time and would love to see how is you battery performing, also wanted to know the results of a new battery if some of you have indeed swapped it already.
Here are some screenshots

Considering a new battery would perform about 97/98% (just guessing) that's about 5% wear every 8 months. Seems like a really slow pace if you ask me.
Would love if some of you guys test it for a couple of charges cycles and share your results vs age of your device.

You shouldn't trust these battery apps. Measure it that way - if the battery lasts long enough for you - you don't need to replace it. Otherwise get a replacement and hope that it's better than your current one.
Right now I get about 3.5-4 hours of SOT with Stylo King's profile and I charge it every night. Perhaps I'll replace the battery within a year but who knows - I might just get an external battery instead.

Sure enough, I'm still OK with the battery life. But it's interesting to know how fast batteries are wearing and how much improvement we get with a new one. This app measures how much capacity it can hold, battery life is a different story.
20% wear might not seem a lot but imagine you have an extra 20% each time your battery dies. Might consider a new one in the near future.
i am really interested to this topic too. for now, you can refer to the answer to this thread of mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/how-battery-1-2-years-t3414249
the biggest problem at the moment is that most of battery sold online as original are simply fake and works very bad, so finding a replacement it' s hard. Oneplus support asks for aroun 80€ to replace the battery
