Although Alpha 3 now recognizes the Touchpads battery, it is misreading it. It has a 6300 battery but Battery Widget Pro only sees it as a 4100 battery. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Looks like I was reading that previous screenshot incorrectly, but what about this one?

Just posting to get opinions on after market batteries. I have owned the Atrix 4G since the day it came out with no complaints whatsoever. The battery life seems to be comparable to my old iPhone 3g (which i hated) but because the Atrix is so much better I obviously have it opened and am using it a lot more.
-Is it worth it to buy the optional extended batteries?
-Are they bigger that OEM batteries?
-How much longer is the battery life?
-If so, I assume my current Otter Box would not fit?
Thank you for the help.

The largest is a Seidio (which I dont think is out) it's only a 2200 MAH, compared to our 1900 (ish) MAH. I got a new replacement from moto because my battery life wasn't lasting as long as it was when i first bought it. Turned out I actually had the wrong battery mode on and it was using up too much power.
I have the 3600 mah, and while its big and you can't use a phone, it makes it easier to hold the phone imo, and lasts all day easily.

My review with heavy usage says you'll last forever. Now I squeeze a day and a half with stock battery. That battery pushes me several.

do you have a prob where the % do not reflect the actual battery usage? my battery can show 30% but after a reboot it will show 100%. I can do a reboot twice before it shows the actual %
I can confirm CEOGUY's report on the Seidio3200. It is indeed a beast.
I too experienced the battery calibration problem. I am now using the latest Battery Monitor Widget. Something was fixed in a recent update that allows the calibration to work correctly.

Does the battery req a special charger? Or just charging direct from the phone will be sufficient
No special charger, I use the OEM one.

How could we possibly answer this when you do not define awful.

Are you using LTE all day?

Battery life on my Note easily lasts all day.

It would be helpful if you elaborate your Note's set-up. Such as like what ROM is being used, brightness level, LTE/no LTE, etc...
My Note currently has no issue lasting a full work-day with LTE on the whole time. And this is with moderate usage. (No videos, and minimal music)
I'm satisfied with mine... Just keep a charger near by.

There are only a few reasons why you see your battery life as terrible.
1) You are coming from an iPhone. But now you're using a tool of a phone, not a toy, so your battery life will be lower.
2) You are coming from the Droid RAZR MAXX, which is the only android with a bigger battery.
3) You have a rogue app that you didn't use before that is draining your battery life.
4) You are using excessive amounts of LTE data, and you came from a phone without LTE.
If those apply to you, there's your answer. If they don't, you may just have a bad device or battery.
You really need to be more specific when stating something as subjective as battery life is terrible. May I suggest you post screenshots of your battery stats so that you can give some insight to why your battery life is terrible. Coming on these forums and ranting without evidence won't get you very far.

Pretty much every device is unique, even though they are produced and assembled in identical fashion. It's possible for a device to have faulty software or internal hardware from the factory that could drain battery, and it's also possible for it to be shipped with a faulty battery. It's not a common issue, but also not unheard of. If nothing in his usage of the device is out of the ordinary, then it's possible he received a faulty device or battery, and should exchange it.

Install cpu spy and make sure you are going to deep sleep. For weeks I couldn't make it through the day and once I realized that the phone wasn't sleeping I found the app that was causing it and deleted it. I get great battery now but still reboot every morning because my original charging cable was lost so my phone will not sleep until I reboot.

I would say battery life can be defined by screen on time only.
Brightness and lte makes much difference.
Anyways just refer to other battey forums. Search helps.

Compared to what???
If you are trying to compare your Note to Apple itoy that is like trying to compare pink tricycle with pink tassels to a Corvette ZR1. No comparison at all, definitely more than apples and oranges. Having owed, well still own till I sell it, Dell Streak only other 5 inch screen out there. Agree it is still not apples to apples (or vette to vette), but Shelby Mustang to ZR1 and can say the battery performance is about the same. I upgraded my Steak to a 2400 mAh battery and had all services on and OC'ed to 1.9 ghz, yes I know single core, standard definition resolution, etc, but as close as you can get in 5 inch screen world. So far the 2500 mAh and stock ROM, with everything on, battery time is relatively the same. Will say only phone that might compare is Samsung Skyrocket HD that is set to come out this month(?), inside they are close to the same, but the screen is 4.6 inch super Amole plus.
Can anyone help me out? This is my battery on battery monitor widget. It says 1500 mah. I've only had my phone off the charger for 3 hours and I'm on 33 percent and watching it drop fast.

Battery Monitor Widget guesses at the capacity (or hard codes it). Go into the apps settings and you can tell it the battery capacity.
Also, make sure your using decent batteries. The two for $15 deals on ebay are not direct replacements. Stick with oem or brand names llike Anker.

Hello guys I think there is smth wrong with my battery. It drains very fast but eh, that's not a real problem many people whine about it. But here is what made me think there is a problem.

Try a different battery. And get better battery stats to check the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Battery dropping to 66 % after unplugging from charger (fully charged at 100% before unplugging. Just bought a new qcell 3500mah battery and does the same thing. Running shostock2 5.4 and never had a problem. I before this. Looking to update I guess but was hoping to avoid it. Any other ideas?

I've heard of this happening with rebooting with less than a certain battery life but never without a reboot right off the charger. Possible problem with charging cable maybe?

Check in the shostock3 thread, there was some discussion about mods to a battery file somewhere to fix battery display percent for non stock battery sizes. Couple weeks ago maybe? Didn't pay much attention as I use stock battery. Might help you...

Actually it was happening with the stock battery. Thinking it was an old battery I bought a new battery. Will try and look at that thread thou when I can search it.

Well how do i start this off.... I had average battery life before flashing AOKP. I was on CleanRom V9 at first, I saw that AOKP was finally stable enough for me to consider it. I flashed, had it all set up for a day or 2. Then I experienced this extremely slow charging bug. I read about it on the thread over there. Then I said forget it and went back to CleanRom. Well I restored back to CleanRom and the battery woes continued on to there! And even when I have the phone on the charger, it continues to drain, no matter what I do. Like earlier today, I had my phone charging and I opened it to check my Twitter. Phone stayed at 100% for about an hour ON THE CHARGER. Sat my phone down STILL ON THE CHARGER to take a quick shower, came back and it was sitting on 84%. It dropped 16% in like 30 mins. Does anyone know what could POSSIBLY be causing this weird battery drain? Maybe just a bad battery? Or my charger isn't working right? Oh I have the original OEM charger. Please help!

Try it and let us know. You're having issues. Either way try this clean flash and report your findings or deal with the issues you have. It can't get any worse then it already is unless you somehow manage to brick your phone

I had this issue and for some reason, after a few days, using a new charger worked. I believe the stock charger is just made cheaply. Go to a verizon and ask them to do a battery test with the stock Samsung charger

Cool. Weird, I used my wife charger for her note and it charged while I was using the phone. But I used my charger, it drained while I used it. Idk. Bad charger maybe.

UPDATE: It seems as if it may have been the USB cable from the stock Samsung charger. The base itself is performing great but I ended up using a different USB cable in the base. Phone charged up while using EXTENSIVELY. previously it wouldn't charge at all and would drain while on the charger. Im still experiencing a lil extra battery drain but I already have new Hyperion batteries on order from Amazon. Could be a combination of bad cable and failing battery. Will update when batteries arrive.
