Hi! I have a rooted dell streak 5 that is running a custom rom (Longhorn 2.6) and I am having battery life issues. The batter drains very quickly. As fast as about less than a day! I used it moderately but the battery still drains pretty quickly. May I know what's the issue here? Thanks!
You can buy a new battery on eBay which is dibble the power for about £10.
Try calibrating the battery to see if that helps?

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.

Hello everyone
I have been using an x10i since the past 2 yrs
I started using custom roms when Sony released the gb update cuz it was laggy
My problem is that now no matter which Rom I choose
A full charge hardly lasts an hour
Consider me a heavy user
& I have used every way that is out there to calibrate my battery
From using calibration apps to wiping stats using recoveries & overcharging battery
Is there any solution to my problems??

It is very simple, you know you are heavy user, you know you have used your battery for 2 years.
Do you know that that means your battery's life cycle has come to an end?
Go buy a new battery.

Original would be better and also you can try bigger battery as you are a heavy user. Check Accessories section of X10 but it will increase your phone size and bulk
try this solution FIRST
goto cyanogen mod settings in ther performance->cpu settings->governor->select interactive....
i am using fxp125 and am a medium user my battery lasts on full charge for 2days 12hours

Hello,
I've bought a new battery to my Atrix 4G and then I discovered it was a fake one.
Android says it is a invalid battery and it won't charge.
A question mark appears at the battery stat.
Is there a way to "fool" the system and use it like a OEM battery?
Thanks
Anyone?
There's a good chance that it is of poor(unsafe) quality. The phone is trying to help you. Don't trust that battery.

You can start by putting a voltmeter across the terminals, see if there's any battery there at all.. if you want to risk your phone, have you tried charging it with the phone off?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
I wouldnt chance it since you can buy them fairly cheap.
Im curious what type of battery did you buy, the best advice could be not to use it otherwise it will risk the phone's life
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I'll use the advices and discard the battery.
Thanks a lot to all of you!
My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?
I am on NeatRom 4.0

Try to 'callibrate' your battery, and see if gives you the same results or if it's fixed: Charge your battery to 100% - turn off your phone - remove your battery for about a minute - replace your battery - turn on your phone.

I think that it may be caused by the internal GT-I9100 Battery Fuel Gauge chip, you should ask a service center, often problems like this are because of internal battery chip failing at equilibrating charges between battery cells.
You should also try to reflash a stock samsung rom (like XXLSJ) using odin, so if there's any software problem it should solve it

So i love the new JB firmware update. But the battery drain has quite a impact and drains faster. I solved the overheating problem but all i need is help or tips to increase my battery life.
All Help is welcomed. Thanks!

If your phone is rooted, you can read this guide for advices:

Try using the Easy Battery Master.
It have a formidable option called BOOST who kills all unused apps and services every 5 minutes(need be configurated to it) and also show the remaining battery in time calculated by your current usage status. This app give me something about 2-3 hours of extra battery daily.
Thanks Guys! I will try the methods! Hopefully my stock 4.1.2 battery life will improve

Then get a regular genuine battery.
After it's first year my battery started to last less and less. I've replaced it and currently having great battery life on CM+Dorimanx.

For genuine batt's always visit the nearest Samsung Service center and get one
Since almost all available on the net (online store's) are fake one's
