Yup. A rezound battery is the same size, works with the tbolt, and is slightly better. Just be sure you get a standard rezound battery and not an extended one (which also works with the tbolt but is huge and going have ti get a special cover.)

In my honest opinion yes. The extended battery really isnt that bad in terms of looks and feel. You do get a better feel and grip on the phone and its much easier to use it one handed. It doesnt look that bad and after a few days, you wont even notice it.
Everyone that has taken my advice loves it and wish they would have did it sooner...
Hmm ill take your advice on that battery
Ordered the official HTC extended battery for this phone... Hope to see some major improvements

depends on what you want they have battery they have 2750 mAh and 3500 mah thats what i know so far. so depending on the size of the phone you care for like if you want some life in the phone but not that bulky go with the 2750 mah. now if your like me always streaming videos or surfing the web and don't care about size go with the bigger battery
How much use could one expect from a rezound battery?

I can say that I have good battery life and I use the phone between moderate & heavy.
4G, Facebook, twitter (3 accounts @ 10 minute updates), texting, notifications. games & video watching plus email checks (3 accounts) every 2 hours. Start at 100% at roughly 6-7am and still have around 30% at around 1am. i do have it on wifi from 9pm to about 1 am most times when Im home because I control my roku unit with the phone.

Is this with an extended period battery or a rezound battery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't mind the bulge, i think it adds grip.
With the extended battery I get about two full days and part of a third, with one Gmail, one Yahoo email (15min), and Facebook. I also had an Exchange with push and got the same times.
However, I mostly do quick internet searches and 10-15min gaming sessions twice a day. On the stock battery I was getting a day tops.

Extended battery. The rezound battery will only give you a little xtra. I hate to say it but some of the claims by people with the rezound battery are hard to believe.Not saying they are all bull but I dont think they are exactly as stated.
Well I haven't seen any claims from some that use the rezound battery and was kinda curious what could be expected from that battery.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I bought the Rezound battery a while back hoping for some amazing numbers, but in honesty, you may get a few hours out of it. I've never had jaw dropping hours with it but if you r wanting a big boost, I would go with the 2750mah. I'm almost leaning towards it myself.

So I might be trading my Gnex for an Amaze + cash, but my main concern is battery life. That, and learning a different process of flashing roms/radios, since I've only ever tinkered with Samsung/LG devices.
So my fellow members, what screen on time (best way to measure battery life I think) do you guys get? I get around 5 hours on my Gnex. Mention what rom/radio as well if you can.

Moderate use on stock, change a few settings, no unnecessary background programs, I get a decent 12-16 hours with moderate use, though to be honest, I text a lot, check my facebook, be on xda and stuff quite a bit. I set my screen timeout to 15s. So you gotta tweak it and mess with it a bit. Some custom roms have reported better life.
On speed Rom I get a full day with 40% to spare with a lot of browsing and playing games through the day, I'm sure you could get that with other roms as well. The amaze has no custom radio or kernel for ics at the moment
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
To be honest I've never measured/calculated my Screen On Battery Life. But total battery time for me is a good 12-16+ hrs.
Also its recommended, but not necessary, to S-Off your device. It makes flashing Roms much easier to flash. But if you don't want to perform that then use 4EXT Recovery and it can flash kernels without the use of fastboot to flash a kernel.
If the Amaze you get isn't updated to ICS then you're better off upgrading first before rooting and etc... Have Fun!

I am just stock ICS and generally get 9-11 hours. Screen is usually on 2 plus hours and do a lot of Internet, XDA, FB and the like. Actually use my phone for phone calls too.
Gingerbread was so much better for me, but used to it now.
That is with Juice Defender on as well.
I will say if not using the phone much, stand by time is phenomenal! I have gotten 24 hours on ICS, but I barely used the phone.

Obvious total noob here. I've read all the thunderbolt reference material here and have followed a couple of tutorials on how to root my thunderbolt, but I keep finding broken mirrors. I just keep finding dead ends. Can someone point me to a current root method for this device. My goal is to try the leaked ICS rom. Thanks.
The closest I got was with revolution.
It did see my device and I was on the last step but it seemed like my rom was not compatible. There was a nice video and followed all the steps.

Welcome to the rooted club! I just joined this week myself.
I hadn't seen the all in one tool but I think I'll snag it. Revolutionary worked great for me. The only thing I had to do was temp root since I was running the .19 ROM. It was smooth sailing after that.
I'm running SkyRaider 1.3 now. I'll probably flash to ICS next month after playing with SR for a bit.
What has SR been like for you?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
So far I'm digging it. It's been considerably faster and seemingly more reliable than stock. The past two years have been hateful and I wish I would have rooted a long time ago.
I'm still trying to figure out what things have changed (like what new options I have and where to find some things) but it's been a fairly easy ride. I did have to flash twice to get it to work but now it seems to be solid.

I just started using the thunderbolt and is this battery performance is terrible. I'm not going to make a full day at work. If you want to keep 4G on do you have to use a extended battery.

Alright..... at 7am I was fully charged and now is about 1pm and now I'm at 14% so on the charger I go. Perhaps a bad battery? I bought this phone used
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Sounds like a battery. I typically charge overnight and I'm good from about 7-4. Then I charge on the 30 min drive home and I'm good until the nightly charge. I've never seen exceptional battery life even with JuiceDefender. Right now it's bad but not quite like yours. I was on a third-party battery, though. I just swapped to the HTC battery and I'll see how it is. I think I'm going to turn JD off as well to see how SkyRaider managers on its own.

This was typical for me.
I recommend turning off 4G. It's not really useful anyways unless you're trying to download something. Calibrate the battery also. Turn down your screen brightness and backlight timing. Also adjust how often accounts sync. Slow your CPU speeds.
You should be set after that.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Yeah, I only use 4G if I'm doing file transfers or tethering. I need to look at underclocking. How often do you sync? I have a number of accounts that I check every 15 min. I could probably increase that to 30.

I increase mine to 4 hours.
Some of these are apps you can change within the apps settings, such as Facebook. I usually sign on before it syncs anyways.
Definitely checks your social apps and change the update intervals. It's basically the same thing.

I unplugged at 7:30 and it's almost 4pm now. On 3G with some forum browsing and regular email checking I'm at 38%. So if you were dropping to 14% I'd definitely try a new battery. This is with JuiceDefender disabled as well.
7:25pm Update
I finally hit 14% 12 hours after disconnecting from the AC charger. I guess that's not too bad.

You need to realize the stock battery is only 1450. So very small for a 4g phone. I have found juice defender only made my wallet lighter. You might want to look in to an aosp ROM as it gives you better battery life. I personally disable auto sync and turn off GPS. Also while I am at work I disable data as SMS and MMS doesn't come over mobile data part. In the end some people carries more than one battery on them if they won't be in a place they can charge.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.
Yea no matter what I do or what Rom I use this is the same results I get the only way I can get like 10-15 hrs is if I rarely use my phone and turn the data off lol so yea just thought I show y'all my battery results lol

Download GSam to see whats draining the battery down. When I used my Amaze I constantly got a good 12hrs with 3hrs screen time. Once you figure it out youll need to kill whats draining it.
Btw. What rom are you using?

This guy used all the roms he could get his hands on, and all of them, according to him, had bad battery life.
He doesn't understand his amaze or his battery is faulty, and blames the Rom every time he has bad battery life. He needs to get an iphone or Windows Phone because I doubt he understands Android.
Ah.. didn't even notice who the op was..

Then you need to get a new battery because you clearly have a faulty one. You are the only person on here with a 1 hour battery while everyone else gets 24 on light use.
For what it's worth, this phone seems to eat batteries. I've been through 3, and its not even my daily driver anymore. The processor gets extremely warm, and that in turn gets the battery warmed up too. You can find batteries fairly cheap on Amazon but be careful about which ones you buy.

Yeah, you should expect battery life on par with a first generation LTE device. If you're going to play on it a lot I would advise a second battery and a charger to keep you going. That's what I had to do when it was my daily. A second battery went with me wherever I was going, no questions asked.

I had pretty decent battery life when I had the Amaze. As everyone said, it's probably your battery.
I had battery issues as well with the amaze. Even tried the Anker battery with no luck. I've since switched to the HTC One S because of this and am much happier. Good luck with your phone
I'm glad to see someone saying something positive about the One S... I didn't have much good to say about mine the two weeks I had two separate handsets.

I think it comes down to expectation. I was able to play Inotia 4 for about 6-8 hours in airplane mode while flying.
However, in my home area the signal strength is weak. If I have 4G on, I lose about half of my battery power in about an hour.
(The battery is about 1 year old by now.) I bought a new Anker battery from Amazon. Reportedly it works well with the Amaze.
I'll have to test it out. Though I think in my area the battery life is not going to be too great due to weak signal...
It is ironically much better when I'm traveling.
install greenify from playstore (ensure you have supersu and root first) and you will be fine. my year old dead battery became alive again. also you can use anker battery, combined with greenify the phone can last day and half or more.

Thats crazy.. But the amaze with constant use for me last about 2-3 hours..(just about NONSTOP use). Does seem to drain fast but for the most part theres always somewhere to charge it or your best bet is to just get a second battery like some people have stated. I Love the amaze, Have Energy rom and everything is GREAT for the most part.. battery does go fairly quick though... Not horrible at the same time. But im on my phone alot
