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...

Also I did the battery calibration so I shouldn't have to drain the battery and fully charge it....

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?

there is a 5000 milli amp battery for the atrix. i get 10 hours on 1930 so by simple math, this should get

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.

Make sure you GPS is off when you do not need it. It uses up alot of battery when on. I left it on once for two hours and killed 20% battery.

Guys my hd2 lasts for only 5 hours with the 1200 mah battery.i need a better battery and compatible with the existing roms.can somebody suggest a better battery and where can we get it
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
5 hrs of usage is very good for this phone. If its not 5 hours on standby, of course, which sounds ridiculous.
I would recommend Mugen Power 1500mAh battery. It does not promise 2300mah or so like most chinese nonames and fits inside without ugly hump.
Here is the link: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
Try calibrating your battery, that might help.
As the title says lets see those battery stats!

games take up a lot of my battery, but beside that, i love the bat..
I just got mine, should I charge it before using it or I can use it now?
thanks
You'd better charge it to 100%, then try to use it 'till it has like 5% left, and then charge it fully again
Wow this battery life looks great compared to the XT912. I looked at the specs and it has a 2000mAh battery rating, which is not anywhere near what the Razr Maxx has, yet the battery life seems to be good. Maybe the Intel chip is better on power than I would have thought. I thought the x86 architecture would be horrible on battery.

Not necessary with lithium-ion batteries. They don't have a memory like NiCD batteries do.

I am very unhappy with my standby time.
With: GPS off, Wifi off, no data connection, only 2g standby, display off -> device in standy
I get only ~50h of standby time. That is ridiculous, even my old defy could get the double of that.
I wanted to add a cpu spy screenshot, but the phone froze while I tried to take it . . . now I have to wait to collect new data.
2GHz mode was a little high.
Of 10h, it was like 1h on 2GHz, ~7.5h in deepsleep, 1.5h in 600MHz and some few minutes distributet on 900MHz and 1.2GHz.
I had the display on for less than 15 minutes in that time. Does not make any sense to me at all.
Anyone as a hint what I can look for?
Really looking forward to get mine. I ordered it partly because of this thread. My Desire HD hesitates to get me through a day in college. Today i left at 7am and returned at 3pm with just 3% left. And this is not a rare occasion, happens almost every day. My razr i should arrive next monday or tuesday, hope i'm happy with it
That's only slightly more life than the RAZR xt,I expected more,or to stabilized the of?
This thing never dies!
Here's mine with really bad signal so its gonna search alot, and it's used as a demo phone to show customers all day too. Better than the 910 by miles.

I don't really like my battery stats .. I own mine since Friday, have done approx. 3 full charge circles (was down to 30% once), so the battery should by calibrated by now?
The Display was switched on for only ~2 hrs. It's not that much better than my old Desire HD. Do you think that a single app could cause battery drain? Motorola Smartaction? Or the WiFi i have activated at home and in my university? The "Battery Widget? Reborn"- Widget, that analyzes the battery and will tell me the estimated time left?
I think it's too often on 2 GHz frequenzy ...
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.
Envoyé depuis mon GT-N7000
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.
Screw the new HTC devices.

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

after 12month I replaced my Samsung battery with a Anker 2700mha and my battery life doubles.

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.

In his dreams I have 2,5 hours screen on time with autobrightness. That was much better on gingerbread days. Maybe leaked Jb versions are not well optimized. We will see after official update. I think I will buy an original battery too.

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.
10-12 hours with stock rom and stock battery. Now it has dropped to 7-8 hours. With no replacement. I will be getting another battery soon.

Wonderful.
You are getting 7-8 hours of 'screen on time' with a one year old degraded battery. When you get a new one; lemme know, I would like you buy the old one of yours.

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.
I normally leave my Nexus 7 plugged in and turned on when not in use. Is this bad for the battery? Should I be turning it off and leaving it unplugged, or off and plugged in instead? Thanks

I wouldn't worry, batteries are much better now and last much longer now when used like this.
By the time its an issue you'll be looking for a new tab or you can simply replace the battery, it's easy on the n7.

In my TF101 I charge it to 100%, then use it until android cries for power (around 15%) then charge again.
Sometimes I charge and use, other times I charge while off. Almost 2 years like this and battery life seems to be as good as when it was new.
I am doing the same thing on the N7.
Anyway, as dexter said, I think it's more easy nowadays than it was with NiMH / NiCd batteries. There are lots of recommendations, but surely most of them will render similar battery life.
I leave it on all the time, charge only when i am @ home or @ office when I notice it has dropped below 40-50%, no problems so far... If I turn it off, I wouldn't get notifications (even though I would on my phone)... but I kinda like to just take it whenever I like and not wait for it to boot...
I've read the more important factor is the opposite, don't let it drain down to 0%.

This. Complete discharge is bad for the battery and can cause it to fail completely. As long as one doesn't constantly deplete their battery, it should last the life of the tablet.
