Battery life and aftermarket battery? - myTouch 3G Slide Accessories

I've been looking around for awhile and discovered that 8-10 hours of heavy usage seems to be the norm for the mts3g. Juicedefender doesn't seem to do much on my phone for some reason unless it is the latest update, but I haven't kept a close eye.
I saw some reviews of this battery on amazon. Does anyone have personal experiences with any aftermarket battery?

Have you looked through this thread?

I haven't exactly either, but I know they've got a few other batteries in there.
As for the battery you linked, not too sure.

For 12.99 it's worth a look, if anything you can keep it as a spare if you want something longer lasting and it doesn't work out. I carry a man bag so it might be something I pick up as well. My problem is that I've opened the case up enough that the batt case wedges ( the things that hold the back tight) are starting to wear. I need to get a replacement. So maybe watch out for that.

Do es anyone know the best extended battery?

Calm down, you just posted this last night. And no, I haven't seen anything like this worth trusting.
Seidios batteries are junk anyway. Especially for what they charge.

I wasn't freaking out, just trying to bump the thread back up and see if anyone has heard anything. No need to get your panties in a bunch over it but thanks for the response just the same.
I would like to see one come out soon. The extended batteries that require a new back just look ridiculous and feel weird. I got one back when I first got my EVO and it was nice to have the battery, but it felt like a brick and odd to hold. Really in the end, I found it to be cheaper, and look better to just root and remove the bloat. Esp the sense, even though I know a lot of people like that.
If you like the sense, then get TB and freeze some of the Verizon bloat on there. I have noticed a lot better battery after that.
What happened to the days of phone batteries lasting three days, huh? haha, I guess because they can do so much now. Worth it to me.

I had the Seidio extended OEM for my Incredible and it was great for about 6 months and then was complete crap. I picked up a pair of 1800 mAmp batteries for my Incredible on ebay and went back and forth between them until the phone died and they gave me a little bit of a boost, but I'm not likely to return to a Seidio or OEM battery any time soon.
On the other hand, the 2750 really isn't that much larger, especially with the "matching" tpu case available at VZW. Fact is, my wife didn't even notice the difference with my phone sitting out there. Of course, then again, she thinks flashing a ROM is a bodily function.....
Yep. Waiting for this myself. Got an extended battery and back but, not a fan of how the phone wobbles on the table with the extended back.
Mugan's has one coming out on 2/7, but it's expensive, $45 1900mAh.
What about the 1800mah battery for the Thunderbolt, would that fit the stock battery cover since both phones use the same batteries?
I bought 2 thunderbolt batteries and a charger from htcexpress.com because they said they would work, they did the no charge gray "!" Thing, they refunded half my money cuz I wanted to keep the charger and I gave the batteries to a friend with a thunderbolt, anyway they told me they would be making.batteries for the rezound. I had seideo batteries and htcexpress batteries for my incredible and there is no.comparison the htc express batteries had more juice, lasted longer(the seideo started falling apart) and cost about half as much. I haven't checked back with htcexpress because I have a extra OEM battery but hold on I will now.
Edit: nope no resound batteries yet.
Maybe they will make a slimmer battery cover for the extended HTC battery, at least that is my hope.

How did you find this out? I checked their page but nothing shows up when I searched for rezound. I even sent them an email but haven't heard back yet.
I have a link to this battery @ home. I'll add it when I get back but it does say shipping starts on 2/7/12.
How are batteries from this company?

I've hear mixed reviews from the Eris users back in the day.
Do you think someone will make a 1500mah battery pack case, like the Thunderbolt has? It looks slim compared to the HTC extended battery, while still adding decent amount of juice.
Here is the link to Mugen. Not really anything there yet!

Highest mAh Battery That Fits Stock Case

Anybody came across a good one?
Also interested in this as well.
Looks like a 2100 or 2500 will fit in our phones. Problem now is finding a battery that actually has that capacity mAh in it.

Personnelly, I spent $10 and bought 4 spare batteries and a battery charger and I just replace on the go.
Most of these batteries they sell on Ebay are overrated in the actual mah capacity they claim. There is a way to check the mah with a meter and a small load and a timer but to me its too much trouble.
Some are good some are not. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. They are cheap, not doubt about that.
Here is a lot I bought out of china. They sold these in a lot of 10 for $39.00 with free shipping. Took about two weeks for me to get them.
So, that's about $4.00 each. They seem fine.

As long as you don't charge them, they will have a long shelf life. Once you charge them then you should use them by cycling.
I only use 2 for now, rotating them out. If you play games or watch movies, the battery drains fast. I know its a pain to pop the back off and swap em but at least you can do it.
The new EVO 4G LTE, does not come with a removable battery. Once you run it down, it has to go on the charger. One feature I don't like about it. However, I think HTC is moving in that direction on all their future phones.
I like being able to change the battery. I used to listen with headset all day at work with my phone in my shirt pocket at the factory. I would have to swap out two to three batteries a day. I had a stack of them on another HTC phone I had.

I really hope your wrong. Although I wouldn't doubt it. Real stupid move. I'm gonna say it might really hurt them financially. This is one of the many reasons I've stayed away from that i-crap out there. I would have been one of the first on the waiting list to get the new evo 4g from sprint. I've been following that phone a long time. No quad core and lack of being able to replace a battery, no thanks.
I like extended batteries no matter how good the stock one is. My evo 3d stock battery is way better than when I had my evo 4g with stock battery. I'm rooted and runnin swagged out with the kernel it came with. I get 1-3 days of battery life with my stock evo3 battery. Can't wait till the end of the week for my new ext battery to get here. I'm really hoping I see 2-5 days or more. Not many phones will do that. Not even those precious i-devices those sheep love.

I'm going to guess and say they will fit just fine. I have the same charger and their pic shows it being flush with the top of the chatter. Plus it doesn't come with a extended battery back cover. Factory evo 3d batteries are 1730mah and those are 1900mah. Not much difference there. Its not like its a 2500-4000mah battery.

There is no being wrong about it. The phone is out. This is easy to prove.
I've played with it. The HTC rep at Radio Shack had one.
The battery life is tremendously good on the phone especially giving the size of the screen. However, like I say when its dead or almost there, it has to be on the charger. You cannot simple just swap in a fresh battery. Ain't happening on that phone. And I agree, big mistake for HTC - I reckon they're counting on the fact they've add enough bells and whistles to get you to overlook this.
I've always had an idea for a battery. Why can't they make a battery like a capacitor. Where it would charge up in like a nano second and discharge very slowly as needed on demand. That way, when you need to charge it, you'd just walk over the charger, zap it for 2 seconds and unplug it --- good to go for another few days.
Also what every happened to fuel cell powered cell phones? They told us that one fuel cell would power the phone for 20 to 30 years without ever charging. Science fiction I guess.
Even the new film type screens they're working on will require power. Even if you can get the screen as thin as a dollar bill and flexible, its still going to require a battery.

[Q] Extended Battery Users?

Wife is loving the One XxX rom sense camera; (I would like to try other possibly lighter Sense Roms but that is a different story..) - Need a better AOSP camera..
Just not happy with the 1620 battery life.. (using snuzzo's kernel helped battery life greatly as well..)
(we're taking the train to NYC and CT for classes and battery life is sucking; already doing 3G cdma (prl auto))
Looking at extended batteries.. (or new phones - batteries are cheaper..)
Amazon has a Laza 3240 (currently about $25 with the back)
[Q] Does anyone have this? Assuming it works how's the added extra bulk and such?
[Q] And what then about a case/holster/"Otterbox" type thing? Suggestions?
I have the oem Verizon extended and I use it on days when I don't see a charger for lengthy periods. I leave it on auto brightness and 4G and I get close to 4 hours screen time. Sometimes more. I dislike the bulkiness and people do ask me what's up with my phone..Lol
I prefer the 1620 battery for slimness but sometimes you gotta humble yourself and get the extended.
I also bought the Verizon oem extended battery when I bought the phone--it was on sale for half price--$25. It is bulky but when you need the juice, it does the trick. I also purchased the extended battery holster that Verizon sells at the same time. The Verizon battery is 2750 but easily last all day.
I bought the extended battery from Amazon (2750mAH). I use it with an Otterbox Defender. Definitely an improvement over the stock battery, but nothing profound. The phone will last me approx. 8-10 hours with medium use (playing music during my 35-40 min commute each way, texting, occasional web browsing). Timeout 30 seconds, auto-brightness on. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate/Set CPU to help with my battery life though. The bulk of the extended battery and defender case is definitely noticeable, but I personally prefer a large phone. I like having some weight to what I'm holding. It can be a chore to get it out of pockets on tighter fitting pants, and the silicon back has a tendency to come unset from the screen protector. However, it's not enough for me to stop using it. I'd recommend getting it still -- it's better than having to replace a screen (a lesson I learned twice before buying one).
@OP and other people too
How long does your stock battery last? Are you able to get through your day?
I was thinking of getting a stock battery but then I am not sure if it'll be enough for me or not. I am usually away from charger for 10 hours straight.

I'm lucky if my stocker lasts me more than 5-6 hours of medium use. 3-4 hours of heavier use (heavy web browsing and texting) on a good day. 30 second timeout, autobrightness on running juice defender ultimate/setCPU to conserve.

Agreed. With Snuzzo's latest Funky Kernel and Juice Defender running custom settings, I get about the same with the stock battery. I tend to keep the phone charging while in the office.
On weekends or when travelling I use the extended battery or even a Hyperion 3500 mAmp and that gets me through the entire day (but not necessarily "an" entire day, i.e. 24 hours).
One thing to be careful of with OEM batteries is the back, since the back has the antennae. The Hyperion back is useless -- I my Hyperion battery with the official Verizon supplied back with the extended battery.

I'd say the Hyperion gives me approx. 20% more than the OEM extended all other things being equal, however, on at least one occasion, I found the Hyperion battery was misreporting how much juice it had left, and all of a sudden I got a crazy 5% alert (after a long time trying to run the battery down). That's purely ballparking it, and remember 43% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I have the OEM Verizon extended as well. People ALWAYS comment on my brick phone. I hate it how big it is, and I still find it BS that the Iphone 5 can run all day on an internal, the droid razor maxx can run all day on an internal, but I have to have a brick to make it all day. Anyway I have a very low signal with no wifi at work, so if I can't charge it immediately after work, or need to go out at night, I definitly use the the brick....I mean extended. Lasts all day with heavy use. It really is the best option if you can't get to a charger. Mostly thought I use the stock battery, and give it a boost on the charger so I have plenty of power in the evening. I use the VZW silicone case with the extended battery and it protects it pretty well.
I have the Laza extended battery. Works great, but with all the use, the back cover doesn't fully clip on (top left has a bit of a gap) and the ring around the headphone jack broke. Neither of these interfere with the usage. Battery life is definitely longer than the stock battery. I always slap it in before I go somewhere where I might not be able to charge and it hasn't failed me yet.
Even i got the laza extended battery from amazon(3250mAh).It is definitely better but its cover doesnt fit properly and phone becomes very very bulkier.I would instead suggest the 1750 mAh laza battery from amazon.They ship two units with a battery charger and a case to hold everything!And most importantly it does not require another back door,fits with stock back cover.Havent tried it but i think having a spare charged battery in pocket is far better than carrying a brick weight all the time

I used the OEM extended battery for a few months and got used to the bulk. It was ok but never as good as I thought it should be.
A few months ago I bought the LAZA extended battery and like it a lot more. It can get me through a day much, much better than the OEM extended battery. I kept the oem back cover though because I didn't like the "laza" printed on theirs. Works the same.
Last week I finally got a replacement rezound to fix the proximity sensor problem and wanted to try the slim thing again.
I'm trying the Laza standard size battery. It's rated better than the oem standard battery and for $23 you get 2 batteries & a charger.
It's not nearly as good as extended but is definitely an improvement over oem. Time will tell.
Anybody know where to get the OEM cover only for the extended batteries? I ordered the Laza battery w/ cover and it should be here today, but I keep reading all kinds of hit or miss signal with the provided cover. So I guess I'm just hoping I get a good cover that actually works, and if not, I'll be wanting the OEM one. Any ideas are appreciated. Also, on a side note, HTC.com no longer even shows anything for the Rez. Sad, really.

Yea, kinda figured. I've been scoping it out the last couple days, but unfortunately for me, nobody is selling the cover alone. Fingers crossed for a good Laza one!!! Although one of the reviews on amazon for it said a guy had problems with the cover and they sent him a new one with a free case. That would be sweet! Lol.

Zarboz the developer might sell one. I think the OEM cover is a good idea though.Have you tried adjusting the brass fittings and terminals or making some slight tweaks to make the terminals meet better. Several guys did that with foil spacers a while back that worked good for the life of the phone.
Also check with Verizon. I bought my extended battery and cover for like $20 bucks when the phone was popular. If it's been reduced or on their battery special or something it might be cheaper than ebay and shipping, or a little more expensive but worth it since you can walk in and get it, or hell test drive it in the store and see if it seems to help any before ordering it.
Haven't gotten the battery yet. Still out for delivery. Just hoping I get a good one. From reading experiences and reviews from others, some work perfectly, others need replacement covers. Hopefully it arrives before I go home for the day, and I'll know for sure. Thanks for the tip tho. May try and make a trip to a VZ store in the next couple days if need be. I just saw they had nothing on the site. Didn't even think about going in.
How often do you replace your batteries I have had the 2750mah battery for a while now and now I struggle to get a full day. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is related to the different roms or time for a new battery.

[Q] Battery Issues

I have a Rezound I got in June of 2012, I am unlocked and running CM10.1 and the phone has never run smoother, but the battery is killing me. Back in December my battery just outright died and Verizon gave me a new one. The problem is that even though this battery is only five months old I only get half a day off a full charge. This morning I played a game for ten minutes or so and surfed Reddit for a few, in total less than thirty minutes of use and I was already down to 85% on my battery. Does anyone else have problems like this, is there an actual fix, am I doing something wrong? Someone help please.

Try another battery, undervolt your phone, reduce your brightness, etc.. Can you take a screen shot of Settings, Power, Battery Use to see what's using most of your power? I'd suspect the screen is since it's a power hog.

Make a screen shot after clicking on Screen item on you your screen shot. That way we can see how much usage of screen time you get. Usually I don't get more then 2 hours of screen time.

If you got about thirty minutes of screen on time with only 15 percent drop in battery, then that is pretty good for this phone. Sorry to inform you, but it isn't going to get any better with this phone. Battery life is, and always will be, the worst aspect of the Rezound.

Yeah that is a bit of an odd one to me as most reviews said battery life is about the same as the Galaxy Nexus, and most people I know with that phone are content with the battery life.

I assume you're talking about the stock battery and not the extended. With the extended I usually get about 5 1/2 hours screen on, but that with maybe 5% left.

Screenshot or it didn't happen. Seriously though get an extended.
where would you all recommend coming across an extended battery? ebay etc? Also, I got an extended battery a little while ago, granted it wasn't HTC oem or anything, but the back cover that came with it did not appear to really give me any signal anymore, as if the contacts for the antenna were not touching in order to allow for the signal to be amplified.

As you know our antenna is part of the battery cover. I have read quite a few posts where people buy an offbrand extended battery and their signal ends up bad because of the new battery cover. So because of that personally I would buy your first extended from Verizon. You have to be careful buying "oem" batteries off of Amazon and EBay because they make claims that they are oem when they are just lookalikes. I can suggest a case too that won't add any thickness to the back. I got that case and extended and love it.

Looks like they are out of stock on the case but you may find it somewhere else. GL

ok will do. that case is out of stock but i'll check around I'll be careful looking for them since Verizon doesn't want anything to do with the Rezound accessories much anymore...or at least I had no luck finding anything. I'll see what I can gather up on ebay/amazon hopefully I get lucky thanks.

Extended Batteries and Battery Cases

Has anyone seen an extended battery for our G3? I had a zerolemon battery on my s3 before I upgraded and I really miss being able to go a whole day without worrying about my battery dying. It would be really cool if someone made one for the g3 that supports NFC and Qi charging.
My g3 lasts me through the whole day with medium to heavy usage without charging but it would be cool to have an extended battery case that has a slim profile
No need to buy extended battery because standard battery is the best. The weight of mobile increases if you use extended battery. Perfect standard battery can give you a whole day even on hard use. But it needs proper charging, sometimes people forget to charge their phone and in their way to office they come to know they did not charged the phone in this scenario travel charger will help. Just like I am using this. You can also buy from the dealer named Avantek. See this item

I don't know what everyone else considers hard use but how I use my phone I burn through about 10% every hour. On a full charge the battery lasts about 10 hours which is 4 hours short of the 14 hours that I'm awake. That's not including using the camera or running any resource intensive apps. I could probably kill the battery in under 3 hours playing a 3d game. As for weight and thickness, I would not have gotten a g3 if I wanted my phone to be super light and super thin. The g3 is thicker than my two and a half year old gs3. I know its not for everyone but some of us really appreciate having an extended battery.

I would just get another OEM battery. Keep the phone profile low, and just pop in the spare when you need it. I keep mine in my wallet.

I have three batteries for the G3. LOL. Only used one tho.
You don't really need extended battery - the standard battery can last you long enough with proper care. Just do the usual - brightness low, mobile data off etc etc and it should last you a day or almost a day.
Make sure to get your free battery.

"You" may not need an extended battery but please don't tell me what I need. As for ME, I don't see a point in having a phone if it doesn't keep me connected 24/7..or if I can't see what's on the screen. I started this thread just to see if there was something out there... Not to be told what I do or do not need

I bought mine on 9/2. Has anyone tried sneaking it through outside of the dates? I'm going to give it a shot, just wondering if anyone else had luck.
Also, that Mugen battery looks nice. I already have a Diztronic case on, wonder how difference the bulk is?

I received the email from LG that it has been approved today. To get the free battery and cradle I had to upload an image of both the box with clear meid and my receipt from sprint in one image. Just a heads up.

This seems like such a nice investment! although can I use my own tempered glass screen protector with this case and also what kind of insane battery life are some of you getting?

I would guess 2-4 days. I can about 1.5 with just checking facebook/browsing/email. Usually get 1 day if i play some games/watch a lot of video.
