Yeah so I burn through my battery in 6 hours... people say that it can last 24 with heavy usage. But that's total BS. So is there an extended battery pack that I could get?

If you burn through your battery in 6 hours youre doing something wrong. Try.draining your battery all the way and then charge it over night

My notifications are ALL off, i run a few chat apps for maybe 30 minutes tops, but all i really do is text. My total USAGE comes out to about 4 hours and 30 minutes with Nighttime Powersaver. And my screen time is usually about 14-16 hours depending and i'm not rooted or anything.
Im texting and using data constantly...

You should consider rooting it and running GreyBlur. I was running through the battery like crazy, actually got AT&T to swap for another Atrix and still had the same problems. GreyBlur really improved my battery life and I'm able to get through a day of medium usage and still have about ~40% when I plug it in at night.
So if im going through the battery fast that means it could be a problem with the battery?

I have a celltronix universal portable power pack. (4000mAh)
Has two USB ports to charge stuff, comes with multi tips to charge stuff, but I just use the usb cord that came with my atrix. Outputs 5v, charges in about 4 hours.
I don't use it much on my atrix, but I have before, just plug it into the usb port and recharges my phone, can get almost 2 full recharges out of it for the atrix.
I like it cause I can also use it to charge other items also! Used it for my iphone 3gs before I got the atrix.
You can charge power pack from wall, car, or comp usb.(mini-usb plugin to charge it.
Just google "celltronix universal portable power pack" it will pop up on a number of sites. ( I bought mine in a truck stop)
You burn through it because you have a defective product.

Yea, burning through it in 6 hours means you definitely have a bad battery. GreyBlur destroyed my battery life though, not exactly sure why it increased some peoples' but decreased others.
I had greyblur loaded once then went into recovery wiped everything then installed again first time battery barely made it to 4-5 pm when I went to for at 8 now 13+ hrs unplugged at 9am made it till 12:30am id say that's awesome. U probably got bad battery get couple new ones from what I hear they r cheap. Every phone is different t as far as battery and speed like my battery is awesome but when I run the graphic test I get 2300-2500 scores when I see others getting 2600-2800+

Ok. So i'll go to the AT&T Store and what should I say so that theyll give me a new one? They are hardass's and I need to convince them, any help on that part?
Don't lie. Tell them you think the battery life has been unsatisfactory. And with a battery that big you should be able to get better than 6 hours.
I burn through my battery pretty quick too though. Today it was dead around 6 hours (11-5) charged and now near death again. But I don't have a screen timeout, notifications on, downloading podcasts on listen(listening to them on speaker), everything on 3G. I don't care what phone you have, that's killing the battery. Its hard to make a battery last on a lazy Sunday.

I'm wondering the same thing... the Desire Z only comes with a 1300mAh battery... My previous phone had a more powerfull battery (2100mAh) and that was an older model WM6 smartphone (which was rubbish on power savings) and it would outlast the desire Z... Even after two years of extensive use, the old phone's battery is better then this phones brand new battery
I've been unable to find any official HTC batteries for the Desire Z which pack more juice...
At the OP. What is your signal strength like? Mine is rubbish at work as I work in a converted barn and that makes a big difference to the battery life.

I am in the process of 'breaking in' a new 1800 MuganPower battery. Fits perfectly with no mods needed.
It should take a few more charges etc to settle down, so things should theoretically improve.
I pulled the plug off charge 6.5 hours ago.
I have it set to use wifi when at home, and 3g for the phone connection (I have a 3G femtocell at home).
When I leave my home area, it switches off 3g and wifi and drops to 2g.
I have made a couple of 2 minute calls, checked my emails and twitter, and was out of the house for say 1.5 hours earlier.
I have had a couple of texts to which i replied.
I am on 95% charge now, and pretty pleased with that.
I've got the same mugen battery, and get through a full day easily no matter what I do. Screen full bright, wifi always on, some internet, games, gps.... etc. Only 7 hours of battery to me sounds terrible.
since my last post, i havent touched the phone at all, and its got 66% charge -__- i seriously need a better battery, may buy the mugen, would you say they are worth it?

What percentage per section(standby, display) is being used?
Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
mobile standby 33%
wifi 28%
phone idle 28%
display 5%
im surprised its been 10h 15m and im still on 58%
the battery seems okay when not touching the phone, as i have only checked facebook for 2 minutes, and sent around 10 texts (been playing football)
looks like imma turn off wifi when not using it from now!
When I first got my Desire Z when it first came out I was pretty disappointed in the battery life. I tried programs like juice defender and minimized every possible battery sucking option I could find. I could maybe get 12 hours of use out of it so I bought a 1800mAh MuganPower battery which gave me maybe 15 hours instead. Pretty poor I thought but what more could I do?
A couple of months ago I finally did a factory reset after encountering a lot of frustrating little bugs, some of which had been around since the phone was new. Since then not only has my phone worked a lot better and faster, but battery life is MUCH improved. My phone now consistently lasts 24 - 30 hours with the same usage or more than I was using it before. So obviously buggy software can make a huge impact on battery life and it's not something you are going to be able to easily discern as to what program(s) are causing the problem.
Hmmm im not sure then..

Okay, played a bit of speedx 3D, heavy texting and facebook/gochat, still on 31%. Battery seems ok, still going to invest in a better one though, as using the phone for games or internet heavily drains the battery, whereas standby seems to be quite good, but need to turn off wifi. I will see how it fairs tomorrow, and post a picture.

So, what's the deal with hd2 with nand adroid and battery life? Is it poor? I mean I still have to do a full day test I just got my hd2, but what is to expect? And there's any extended batteries that you guys could recommend
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
It really depends on what build you use, the kernel it's based on and how you use your phone.
I use my phone all day with internet connection, I get about 13 hours out of a charged battery, that's with WiFi almost constantly on and using Whatsapp, Facebook and browser a lot and beside that the occasional game.
This is on Hyperdroid CM7.
With less use of the phone and turning off the WiFi connection I can get about 25 - 26 hrs on a fully charged battery. If I really try hard I can get 2 full days out of the battery (that means almost no use of WiFi and turning off the data connection as much as possible)
Mind you this battery is 1 year old and abused (quick half charges every now and then)
The battery life of the HD2 isn't the best. But with a good build and a program like SuperPower or JuiceDefender you can get pretty good results (atleast a full day of using your phone.. which to me is exactly what I want.)
I personally do not have experience with extended batteries, I'm still on my stock HD2 battery
So far on hyperdriid the battery is been not really good, is only Been maybe 2 hours without wifi and screen brightness all the way to thebottom and is already at 76% not good at all lol I will let it drain and try again tomorrow.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Like bever86 said, it depends on which build you use. And unfortunately you can't know which rom has the lowest battery drainage without flashing and checking out yourself.
Here's some of the rom's i tested:
UltimateDroid 3.3 - was okay. I got at least a day with it.
I tried some version of MIUI which was pretty bad. It didnt last from 8am to 1pm.
WindowsPhone7 - was okay too. Pretty much the same with the UltimateDroid.
Now I'm using SENSATION XL V 2.5 stock ALL IN ONE. I just flashed it yesterday but it seems very good. I used wifi to download apps all day and it hasnt even dropped to %60.
Right now I'm with hyperdroid and dorimanx.... its awful... if I use the phone for 20 minutes idk, browsing with 3g the battery drops Maybe 15 % is alot even. With screen with minimum brightness and not overcllocked.... I don't know what to do, I don't have money for a bigger battery and I could sell the phone but nothing good is available for under 200 used. Uhmmm what to do what to do...
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
I Easily get 14 hours of pretty heavy usage on hyperdroid, with an extended battery I can get 3 days.
It depends a lot on how you configure your OS, how many apps are auto-sync, signal strength and the health of your battery.
Last one can't be underestimated, your battery losses about 10% of capacity per year under the best possible conditions. In realistic usage, your battery is junk after a couple of years.
I run my phone OC'd with 3g and auto sync. Before I replaced my battery half an hour of browsing would drain about 15%, same setup new battery, the drain is about 3%.

I bought the Anker ones from Amazon. 2 1550 mah batteries with a universal charger, and so far I've only had to use one. It's been amazing.
Yesterday, I started the day at 7am with 100%, played 1 45min long video (stored on SD Card, not streaming), watched 5 YouTube videos (avg. 10 mins each), had Pandora on for about 1 hr on regular quality, and did some reading using Aldiko. By 5pm, my battery was down to 36%. Screen brightness was 25%, wifi off, gps on, bluetooth off. I do have it underclocked slightly when it gets below 50%, but overall the performance has been incredible.

I'll second or third the Anker batteries. Replaced the stock one after about 1 year when it got "fat". Been working great, 8-9 hours of pandora over wifi, minimal screen on time and I'm usually around 30-40% at the end of the day. No juice defender, or setCPU, or anything, just the ondemand governor in CM7.

I have a year old Note and have been getting progressively lower battery times, I have tried every possible trick and several ROMS. Recently was getting as low as 12hrs. I have had a cheap replacement battery (non Samsung) which was not used often. Recently when I used it I noticed about the same battery life as the original. I purchased a new Samsung battery and now I am getting over 40hrs on one charge with moderate use and sync on with no other changes.
My messge is : change your battery at least every 8-10 months, you will be astonished as I was. One of the great features of the Note is the ease of change of battery, use it!
Yep same for new battery and it's like I have a new phone. Without changing anything my screen on time almost double.

I've been doing that for over a decade now but this time i bight a hyperion aftermarket.
I bought two actually. I keep one in my car. This way I'm guaranteed a full day's worth of heavy usage.
Also got the dock + second battery charger.
I'll never get a mobile without the ability to replace the battery.

Non removable battery is a deal breaker - your phone will be useless after 12-24 months depending on the charge cycle.

i don't have the time to order a new battery online or look for it in stores so simply i swap out the kernel for the rom i'm using and with the current one i get about 20hrs which isn't much compared to when i got it a couple months ago and worse yet if you have on hsdpa+ whole day battery life drops to about 2/3
After one year (for me ten months) the note 1 needs a new battery. Decreasing bat life, random restarts, and screen flickering are all indicators. I thought i had runaway process issue or hardware problem. But i finally ordered an ankor battery from Amazon and my unit is fine andback to 20hrs.
I thought this was settled back in Nov.
Now just waiting for my jb!

Do not buy a spare the time time as the phone if you are not going to use it until the original goes as it will deteriorate from the day it's made, even with out use.
From box 13......
I don't know if this is still necessary nowadays, but I always use the battery till it's about to turn off the phone. My batteries always have a pretty good lifetime, so I imagine that helps.

This is a common misconception that if you leave the battery to almost deplete every time it will be better for it in he long run. I have done a lot of research on this topic for laptops and smartphones. Essentially they use the same type of battery technology which does not suffer from memory effect, but if you stress the battery a lot (letting it deplete before you charge it again or almost deplete below 5%) than it will damage it more quickly.
The optimal way of charging your battery is:
1) After the first cycles just charge it whenever you want (even it is at 70% and you are at work, you can plug it to get another 10% and then unplug and use)
2) Don't let it deplete, it will stress the battery too much and damage it in the long run
3) Every 30 cycles, you can let it discharge to below 5% and let it recharge until 100%
I have done this on my PC which still has its battery at above 80% after almost 3 years, and to some extent on my Note, but as I can't always foresee how things will play out I sometimes need to use to until the last drop of energy .
Hope this info helps.

That is definitely battery drain. Better post a screen of the battery your apps are using...
With a brand new battery, you cannot achieve much more than 5 hours of screen on time with general usage.
You can indeed get much more than that when watching video, but that is the only scenario where that is possible (or maybe staring at a black picture for hours).
So people saying that they get 10 to 12 hours of screen on time are really getting 10 to 12 hours of uptime, meaning the phone is turned on but is sleeping most of the time, with maybe 2 to 3 hours of screen on time.
That's lousy battery life, and those people should buy a new battery.
