Energi To Go by Energizer for HTC Phones. Review :)

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.

Battery charges in 90 minutes, is this sign of a bad battery?

Can see the title - I can charge my phone from 4% to full in rougly 90-100 mins using stock charger. This seems significantly faster than reported by other review sites, does this mean my battery is not fully utilizing all its cells?

Mine did the same thing....

Mine charges super fast too, but I still get great life out of it. 5-6 hour screen time, all day and into the next.

This phone gets better battery life than any other I have ever owned. The fast charging is a great bonus.

It could also have something to do the the 1150mA charger. That's more current than most phone chargers.

Could be a mixture of the this plus the chip.

Is this a complaint thread because the phone charges too fast?!

On a related note, this thing either charges faster on a car charger or is just much more efficient than the Galaxy Nexus. My Galaxy Nexus's battery would actually drain when using GPS in the car while plugged into my Kinivo BTC450, especially while also playing music. My Moto X actually charges reasonably quickly while using GPS and playing music. There's definitely no need for some high voltage car charger.

Horrible battery plz help me

hey guys could anyone help me with this horrible battery life???
I tried clearing the cache from stock recovery but it did not help me
I have updated to 2.1 and I can say that battery life was equally worse in 2.0.2 and 2.1

I wish I could say I have a solution but I have almost the same problem. With my opt, Google play services also is in on the battery drain. Would really like to have some tips. I've seen cases where one of these processes drains the battery, but not 2 or 3.

Very similar to my battery life. 2 hours screen on time, 12 hours off the charger, at 20%.

Do you have fingerprint scanner or tap to wake, and carry your phone in your pants pocket? If so, you may want to try having the screen facing away from you at all times to avoid accidental wakelocks.

Not OP, but personally I doubt it's that. I have charged my phone to 100%, then left it unplugged for 8 hours overnight for testing, and it will usually be at 80% the next morning. Most phones I have had won't drop below 90% overnight.

I just got my OP2 and it was at 93% when I started the initial setup process... after 44 minutes of setting up and downloading apps and the 2.1 update, it was at 52%. My Moto X Pure has "ok" battery life, but is much better in comparison... It only dropped about 20% during the initial setup, including ROOTing and doing a Nandroid.
So, I'm a little concerned about keeping the OP2 for this reason? Plus, the speaker sounds terrible.... But I've been using HTC dual front speaker phones for the past 2 1/2 years and most recently the Moto X Pure with dual front speakers. So the one speaker on the bottom is a bit of a let-down.

Guys, ok i charged my OP2 till 94% last night and left it. In the morning my battery was down to 54% and the major eatup of battery was done by MAPS. but my location was off and maps was not there in the running apps. SOT was 5 mins.
So, i am still trying to figure out as how to kill the Maps. But from morning (7 am) till now (3 pm), my batter was down only 23% and i have been constantly using my phone with SOT as 2 hrs.
Little weird but intersting.

S7 Edge Overheat?

Hi everyone, just received my galaxy s7 edge yesterday. I have noticed that the phone gets warm easily when I use it for around 10-15min or so, and today when I charged it the entire phone was warm to the touch so I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and whether or not I should consider returning this unit.
Thank you.

Yep, my TMOBILE Edge gets warm, especially when charging using the fast charger. Perfectly normal.

Gets wars as well
My Verizon s7 edge gets warm to the touch after using it for 10, 15 min as well. I remember I had similar issue with s4. I've been with iPhone 6/6s for last two years and those almost never get warm to the touch. I wonder if it's theasier issue with Qualcomm 820.

While I understand it's normal for it to get warm when on the charger, it's still disconcerting how quickly it gets warm during use. Playing Crashlands really sends the temperature up.

My phone is constantly hovering between being warm to the touch and then cool to the touch. Definitely hasn't got hot from normal use, just VR use.

My phones always cool even on fast charge/fast wireless charge. Eyxnos model

it only gets warm on benchmark tests other then that it stays pretty cool

Here are my temps. Battery temp is sitting at 106.5 Fahrenheit after about 15 minutes of use on a streaming app.

Mine was getting warm and blowing through the battery very fast until I did a factory reset. Maybe try that?
Also I disabled quick charging. I'll only enable it when I need it.

I had the mediascanner heat my phone up a few times. I reset the phone and it went away

Only time it gets warm is when using vr headset. Notice warm.. not hot. Exynos

Is exynos or sd820 known to run hotter? I had an sd and it never got hot, only when fast charging

Post your battery life (wokring only on stock roms

Post your battery and the period you have the phone,
to get there you need dial*#*#service#*#* on the numbers and scroll to "battery health test" (work on any stock ROM xperia)

wow really good score, its seems you really save your battery.
(if you reflash\factory rest its need 2-3 charges to get accurate again)

yeah I was surprised too. Actually I was expecting something worse due to the age of the phone, the fact that I never used the "battery optimization option" and my Z5C is often charged with almost full battery (using it in the car as alerter for speed cameras/traffic jams <- USB connected). Maybe the result is influenced by the fact that I lost the original power supply early, since then I am using the one from my old S4 mini with less output (I think 1.0A).
Last factory rest was when Android 7.0 was rolled out in Germany (by Sony - without provider branding). I checked it for the first time, so I can't say which value was shown when my phone was new , but I am looking forward to see results from other users.

2672000 here.
In use since Jan 2016 - 1 year 7 Months .
I'm one of those who become nervous when getting near 50% so it frequently hangs on the wire - several times a day, actually.
I was worrying about ruining my battery by this treatment, due to reading a lot about having to 'train' your battery by sucking it down to 15-20% at times. So this is all crap information, obviuosly.
Thank you for posting this code, btw.
Useful information!
