Does anyone know if the seido 1750 that fits in the incredible without an extended cover would work with thunderbolt? Would hate to have to dish out another 50 bucks on top of the cost of the phone for an extra battery. Would be nice to just use what I already have.

I think I read on Droid Forums that the batts are not the same design as the Inc batts. I might be wrong.

This phone is pretty thick to begin with, the last thing it needs is a thicker battery. I still can't wrap my head around how other manufacturers are able to put higher capacity batteries into much thinner phones, and HTC can't.
They want to sell more batts.

Yeah im not feeling a thicker battery and extended cover. It sucks that HTC puts together these killer phones but fail on battery size. My dinc lasts most of the day which is fine. I can only hope the tb performs equal on a smaller battery. I

Unfortunately, I don't think that the Dinc or EVO battery will work in the Thunderbolt.
Wirefly did a video comparing the Thunderbolt and the EVO and you can clearly see that the batteries are physically a different size.
The Dinc and the EVO do have the same physical sized battery, right? I know that my old TP2 battery (1500 mah) would work in my Dinc.
You have to understand, the thunderbolt is not running the old cpu snapdragon that's in the evo. they had no need to stick a large battery in a phone that's is designed around better power consumption vs the evo.

Yes exactly, the TB Snapdragon uses the 45nm manufacturing process ("2nd gen") as opposed to the earlier (also 1GHz chip) Evo 4G CPU. The EVO 4G Snapdragon is 65nm process and "1st gen". Comparing equivalent Snapdragons in that entire line up of chips between the 45/65 Qualcomm stated that change provides a 30% lower dynamic power consumption and a much lower standby power as well. The battery capacity reduction from Evo 4G to Thunderbolt is only about 7%. This guarantees overall longer times between charge with the TB (of course under identical use). Adding an aftermarket higher capacity battery will be icing on the cake.

EXACTLY! i have a nexus one and most people at my job have rooted androids as well and the biggest mutual problem for all of us is battery life. and to me thats the biggest flaw with android phones. i love my nexus one but the damn thing doesnt stay alive for a full 24 hours. just like the guy i quoted said an extended battery would be great. especially the 2750 mah battery im reading about. thats almost double the stock battery!

A lot of the problems with battery life on Android (IMHO) is the notification system and widgets. I have seen people get some pretty awesome battery life by turning off all notifications and not using widgets. However to me that negates most of the use of the phone lol... I've learned to live with the battery life issues, I'm usually close to a charger and will bump charge when I need to.
Now a 2750 mah battery would be ideal and I will take it...

There should be an extended battery that takes up no more space. Then there may also be one that must have an extended cover and will be larger. We'll see.
Only real complaint I have of my EVO 4G is the poor battery life. Even though I am rooted with a great ROM and custom kernel for better battery, my battery life still doesn't come close to my Brothers iPhone4. My phone dies by end of the day.
I see the specs of the EVO 3D, having a larger stock battery, and dual cores should be more efficient on the OS, and this phone was built around Gingerbread that is better performance than Froyo.
So adding all that up, I hope to God this new phone has much better battery life ?

I am sure HTC is well aware of the bad press the EVO 4G got on release in regards to poor battery life. So maybe they worked extra hard to make sure the new EVO is improved.

dual core = more power efficient
not dual power
anyway this thread really isn't useful right now. Since noone really has the phone we are stuck with speculation and specs that can be altered heavily. In theory bigger battery plus dual core sounds like a longer battery life, we really won't know how it compares until release
I wonder how much the graphics will drink that juice. I don't know much about the 3D technology but I assume the graphics will be more demanding and graphics sucks so much power.

My understanding of the power usage of 4" of LCDs is like 3-5Watts so I assume that is not that demanding. The LCDs don't burn the battery but the back light will. Again this is my understanding but not based from my knowledge on phones, but that of projectors.
I wish I knew more about phone but I hated C+ programing. I only used it for a Mechatronics class, though it was fun to control the robot and use the technology thats found in $70k cars, It took me 2-3 hour to write the code for a clock cause I can't think like that. cant hit 00:00 or 24:00 and didn't know any built in codes. The code was only about 7-8lines as well so it was extremely small (and easy afterwards).

wtf are you talking about? C++? using a robot to program a clock? what does this have to to with the wattage of smartphone screens?
but anyway, The larger battery and dual core processor of the Evo 3D should definitely create a noticeable improvement in battery life. However i feel like 3D is going to seriously drain battery life though. Obviously its not a direct comparison to the Evo 3D but the 3DS is much thicker than the DSi (i assume that means more or at least the same amount of battery) and sports a 4hr battery life lol.
If your that concerned with battery life just buy extra batteries and charger on Amazon I have three. If you can afford an evo you can afford a ten dollar battery and a five dollar charger. Then it wont matter how bad the battery life is.

I keep a spare battery in my wallet and battery life is a non issue to me. I usually have half of one left after a twelve hour day at work with pandora playing over bluetooth and the screen being on for 4 to 6 hours. Usually I'm looking at the news or using the internet most of the time it's on.
If swapping out the battery is too much work you can always get an extended one but if you're just completely against the idea period then you're best bet is an iphone with its permanent battery.
I have enough to worry about in my life to have to micro mangage my phone killing apps and turning on and off GPS and wifi with an extra battery I can just enjoy my phone.

Hey All,
I was just wondering if they could post some of their impressions of the Amaze's battery life. According to the engadget's review it's horrid. 5hrs of use? that can't even last half a day. Mind you, the Amaze has a bigger battery than the sensation
(google Engadget Amaze)
I currently have the Sensation and the battery life was "bearable". It was at the limit of what's acceptable for battery life. After I undervolted the cores (-62.5mV), i'm having amazing battery life (10-12 hours of usage with data/email/text/light surfing/calls). If I upgrade to the Anker battery, it's going to be sweet.
I was originally going to upgrade to the Amaze but the battery life scares me. Can anyone so a comparison between the GS2 or post some real-life usage stats of the battery? If it's really that bad, i might just have to get the other option which is the GS2.
I think its normal
the desire hd have that battery live, the sensation too....the amaze have exactly the same battery

I agree. I've had several Androids, and this one seems about average. I can burn through a full charge in 5-6 hours of heavy use, or go all day with the phone mostly on standby. Like any other Android, I charge whenever I have the opportunity. I would love to have the battery life of my BB9780.
that sounds better... engadget made it sound really really bad. I was wondering what was making the phone consume so much power. It's essentially almost the same hardware as the sensation except for a few new upgrades.
does anyone have their battery graph to share?
Usually, I take anything reported by Engadget as not reliable ...
It is very clear that if it is not an Apple product, they will find a way to criticize...

It was true with old blackberries, but if you take Torch and similar to Android or iPhone, you will notice that multitasking is killing a battery phone, as well as its capacitive screen.
Old blaberries were bearing strong battery life, as it was doing nothing in background (and in foreground ... sorry, joking).
BUT, I'm using a Desire (first gen) and waiting to upgrade to Telus Amaze. What I can say, is the ROM, by what it integrates as processes and apps running, is the culprit. I tried Cyanogenmod, then LeeDroid, and depending on the version, one was better than another... for now, last LeeDroid version is GREAT!!!

Gizmodo is far worse than Engadget about this, but Engadget has gotten noticeably skewed lately.
It seems normal to me--same run time as my Vibrant on CM7/Vibrant 4g on custom Froyo/ N1 on Sense. 5 hours? They were hitting it harder than the fist of an angry god. I play music 9 hours straight, games, sms, calls. 9 HOURS.
I personally find it exceptional, especially right out of the box.
I use 25% screen brightness and black background.
2G only.
The only syncs I have are FB, Gmail and Exchange. I've disabled the unnecessary stuff like weather stocks and FB contact integration as well as Picasa sync and I can easily get a full day out of it and come home with 60% battery life left.
I'm not a heavy user but I'm very happy with the battery life. I'm excited to get in and start ditching bloat.
Since you have sensation u can use sensation,s battery for amaze. I bought an anker battery of sensation, it works perfect on my amaze

I have a sensation and a Amaze, the amaze is a much more impressive device and has the best battery life I've seen since I started using the HD2 back in the day. Normal use last me almost a full twenty four hours, with sync mail every two hours/weather. And since it was released about four weeks ago, tmo has already released three updates and told me another is coming very shortly to add the wi fi calling feature, and also stated that HTC will be giving us a new update to take us to ICS.
Compared to the sensation, the amaze is a real peice of hardware, the sensation just feels cheap to me and it's battery is very poor. I'm selling my sensation and keeping the amaze. You'll like it if you get one. Peace. V
Thanks for all the replies! If I can get someone to buy my sensation, i'll be definitely buying the Amaze. I live in canada so unfortunately i can't check it out in person but it sounds like a great piece of hardware.
The only thing i might miss is not having the the SAMOLED on the GS2. Resolution vs. Colour saturation.

I have the Sensation and upgraded to the Amaze last week. I never received any updates. What three Tmo updates are you referring to?
How is it that you are getting a full day on a charge? I have the brightness turned down, all Htc widgets off, and simple use and barely get 10 hours until its down to 20%. It is an improvement over the Sensation but imo, not in the battery department.
Set your network mode to GSM only. There is little to no use to high speed data if it's just idle receiving emails.
I use the Curvefish widget 2g/3g on/off which brings me to that part of the wireless networks menu for easy change so if time is a factor and I want to surf, I'll turn it on.
If that doesn't do it for you, dupliacte some of the settings and see if there is a change.
I did no battery "training" with mine either.

I bought an Amaze battery and will post back once I receive it. I am not sure how I can most accurately measure the relative performance. Any suggestions?
Just bought one (labelled for the HTC EVO 3D, but still the same battery as the Amaze). I'm not expecting a huge improvement, as I am already getting awesome battery life with the stock Titan battery, but it never hurts to have a little more.
Looking at the Seidio 1900 one too, but not sure if I'd get it since its 3rd party...
Update: Battery just arrived. It was completely dead upon first boot, so giving it a full charge before I test it out.

Using the HTC EVO 3D battery, I think I am getting about an hour more out of it, which is to be expected since its not such a huge increase in mAh.
Otherwise, I'm not having any issues with the battery in the Titan. Phone is charging fine, reading the percentages properly, no issues at all.
I said I would check back...
I got the Amaze OEM battery and it works perfect. Seems to last a little longer, but it is not material. There is no very accurate way to measure that I know of.
Someone is selling the today for $3.99.

Why do I not see this thread in the forum?
Never mind....
i'm hoping to get one of them as well . hoping to further improve on the battery life ! .
would just like to ask how significant is the difference ?
No material difference.
I bought HTC BG86100 BATTERY FOR HTC SENSATION XE XL 4G EVO 3D G17 1730mAh
I´m having some issues with the battery questionmark. Howto get rid of it?! Also when i charge the phone the led is blinking red and green.
Do you have use this battery? Does the titan?
I'm using this battery too (from the EVO 3D). Works fine, although the Titan battery does not fit in the EVO 3D strangely.
No problems reported and the battery does last longer. I would say 1 hour too.. Takes longer to charge as well, but I guess that is obvious!
deleted
I brought one of the Evo 3D / Amaze 4G batteries from HTC on Amazon (1750mAh vs 1600mAh in the Titan). The only thing I have noticed is that the Titans original battery is 3.8vdc and the Evo battery is 3.7vdc.
Battery fits ok and everything works fine when I boot it up. I have heard that the sensation XL only charges to 90% with this battery so I will report back after a full charge.
Anyone else had different voltages on their batteries?
I Currently have a Galaxy Nexus and was considering a trade offer for a EVO 4G LTE. was wondering how is the battery life on this thing? what are some battery stats are you guys are getting over here?

The battery life is fantastic but my old phone was a generation older then your Nexus. With my Epic 4G if I got 1.5hrs of screen on time (15-30% brightness and 1-2% no signal) I would be on the low battery warning. If I used Nav it would drain the battery 1% a minute. On the Evo I can have the screen cranked up to 50% or higher, get 2.5 hours of screen on time, music streaming and navigation going and get home at the end of the day with 40% left. :victory:

I'm not a fan of sense by any strech of the imagination... but im sure the devs can do something about that to where I wouldn't have to deal with that for too long.
I usually get a full day out of this device no matter what. I've only really tried two roms, mean and viper. Viper for me, had a more steady decrease rate where I could get 5-7 hours of screen on time during a day easily. I've not heavily used it since I've been on mean rom, although I usually hit 50% after 45-60 minutes of screen on time with mean.(Albeit this is over a full regular day's usage where my phone battery time would be between 9-11 hours)
Since I figure a follow up question will be the performance between the two, they perform about the same. The difference in performance for day to day usage is minimal at best. Either way both roms get a full day for my current usage.(Full day being 13-18 hours)
I think that it is pretty unanimous that the EVO has far superior battery life. Every review and person I've talked to say that.

I would have to say the evo 4g lte and galaxy s 3 (s4soc) has amazing battery life.I average 16-20 hours medium use!(facebook,instagram,browsing,calls,text,youtube) a friend of mine has the vz galaxy nexus,within the first week he had to buy the 3800ah? Siedo. His stock battery would die in 6-10 hours medium use. He also lost NFC during the battery swap.
This device even outlast my evo 3d with the 3000mah battery! At first I wondered why they permanently shoved a 2000mah battery inside,but honestly with efficient hardware the battery life was/is greater then I expected.
I'm on my phone all the time. Phone calls, texting, you tube videos, email, Facebook, etc. My screen is usually at 25%. I average about a 10% drop an hour during heavy use periods,with about 14 to 16 hours a day without having to charge.
