Hello,
I am searching for a good, stable and reliable portable USB charger which is driven by batteries (e. g. AA or AAA). While searching, I found this one:
http://www.amazon.de/Battery-Emerge...&sr=8-3&keywords=AA+battery+emergency+charger
I am not sure if I should get it. If someone has this device I would like to have some feedback, or else other suggestions.
Don't buy such crap, it simply wasting money! It would not even charge your device once fully !!
By something driven by a lithium ion rechargeable battery like what I have !
It has 2600 Mah capacity it costed me Rs. 950 ~ $15 approx

So buy something of a high capacity such as 10A or 15A so you can charge phone 7-8 times

If youre planing to use DX as game console for a week without real electricity... well, bad idea. If you plan to make your phone usefull for a week with no electricity, this kind of devices should do the trick (I am using 5200 mAh charger, works perfectly, it has capability to make phone usefull for a week+- and its more than 2 years old, I am sure there are better devices these times)

Then go for a portable one, 6000-8000 Mah would be enough to run your phone till a week I'd you don't do much gaming
The AAA battery charger is a bad idea its slow inconvinient, big size, capacity is less not even a single full charge it will give, and money is wasted in buying batteries for it !!

I don' t mind the money for the batteries. As I already said, it is mostly just for one week in a year, maybe two. Also, with two AA batteries, it should be possible to charge the phone up two times, as Alkaline batteries have got a minimum capacity of 1800 mAh with 500 mA constant drain (due to wikipedia); the device I postet in OP supports that. Our accu has got a capacity of 1650 mAh, so...

But there's a loss in heat in that one, your wish bro but note 500 mAh output can't charge our phone at all.

I think you misunderstood something. It's not 500 mAh capacity, but 500 mA constant drain. So it will charge our phone in a bit more than three hours. The capacity of one battery is minimum of 1800 mAh for alkaline ones, so doubled the device has 3600 mAh minimum. Way enough to charge our phone.

I've had my photon for 9 days now, and up until two days ago, my battery would discharge AT BEST 10% per hour. I'm talking about the phone sitting in my pocket with 4g off and nothing crazy running...just draining because it apparently liked to drain. And charging was no better. I know many people have had no-charge issues, and mine would at least charge, but it was still bad - maybe 15% per hour on a good day.
Here's what DIDN'T work for fixing my battery problems:
1) master reset
2) rooting
3) CWM bootstrapping
4) running zip aligning rom
5) making sure nothing superfluous was running
And here's what did work for fixing my battery:
1) Go to sprint store and have them give me a new battery.
Oh my god, what a difference! I get about a 3-4% drain per hour now almost regardless of what I'm doing. Mind you, if I'm doing nothing with the phone, it may only drain a percent or two.
I wish I could see my old battery to compare the two, because I could swear my new one looks different (I saw the old one so much because I was always having to do a battery pull!)...but I can't be sure.
Anyone with battery issues similar to the ones I was describing may want to compare their battery with mine. If it's different, and people with good batteries are similar to mine, then we may be able to specifically request good batteries without just requesting a new battery and hoping for the best.
My battery:
The side you can see when it's in the phone -- the number on it is HF5X and it's 3.8v
The other side -- model L-L-L DC110719 (that's near the bottom)
SNN5890A (that's just above the barcode)
Anyway, I hope that's helpful, but really my point is just that the software MAY not be the issue (although that update is coming OTA on Monday). You may just need a new, GOOD battery.
Also, it's worth noting that I had all the random shutdowns and reboots everyone else had (and my phone ran hot), and this new battery seems to have fixed all that. I haven't had any random reboots/shutdowns since!
Good luck!!
So you had a bad battery... That's like putting new wipers on a car and then jumping ecstatically on one leg because now I can see better out the windshield when it's raining.
Hmm, yeah, I was just complaining about my battery as well, it drains about 10% an hour, just like you said, with almost everything turned off.
I just checked, and my battery model is LLL DC110629, which is different from the OP's "good battery" - can anybody confirm with me that this is a bad batch of batteries?
My battery has never even got warm. And battery life is great.

Lol -- seriously, though, don't miss the point -- the phone was acting up as if it were a software issue, but things cleared up with a new battery. No random reboots, no overheating battery, and no ridiculous battery drain. I originally thought some/all of those things were attributable to some software issue. Anyway, I was just trying to be helpful.
As far as the different batteries go, I thought my original battery was like a grayish-white. Definitely black now. Could be wrong on that, but that's my recollection of it.

My roommate and I both purchased Photon's on the same day. Mine worked perfectly, but his battery life was terrible. This was after both of us had gone through the painstaking process of properly calibrating the batteries and then rebuilding the batterystats file. He would, on average, barely get 6 hours out of his battery while I was getting more like 17. Sprint did a phone swap for him and after the recalibration he's now up around 14 hours on the new battery. I think that there may be something to this story about a bad batch of batteries. While they may not be "bad" in the traditional sense (i.e. they don't have a dead cell; Sprint tested the charging capacity of his at the service center), there is something about certain batteries that don't measure up to the OEM specs that Motorola has set out for this phone model.
Thought it may be fun to see who is getting good life and how heavy their usage.
please specify if you are using an OEM battery.
Here is the best I have had so far, OEM battery.

Hey genius, you're reading it wrong. It's not that the screen was on 42% of the time. It's that 42% of the battery that was used, was used by the screen. There quite a big difference.

I lose about 15 -20 overnight as well...I have a bunch of apps installed. If I set it to stock with no accounts (ie, no google facebook weather, no sync) no background data...I lose about 3 percent over night, but that's not very realistic, i need my apps and I'm a heavy google voice, google talk, and facebook user, so all thinks are syncing all the time plus a bunch of apps prolly running bogging down my cpus and the draining the battery. I see marginal difference between faux's kernel and the stock kernel...I still like faux's though.

My previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus and I'd ultimately be lucky if I was able to get 6 to 8 hours of use from the battery when fully charged. I can easily use the DNA all day long and be able to come home later in the evening and charge the phone. I realistically get about 12 to 14 hours of use out of the phone before the battery is depleted.

Don't let it die, that's bad for the battery. I typically let it get to around 5 to 9 percent left and then give the full charge.

You can try an app like Battery Calibration to wipe the battery stat log. Following the procedure can help the battery to be a little bit more efficient, but don't be to finicky about it, the battery gauge on HTC's phone are not very precise, and depending on how intense your are with your phone you should have plenty of power for a day, unless you are a big gamer. I personally have a charger in my truck and I usually give my phone some power charge during the day when I'm driving, it can be 10,20 or 60 minutes. It's a good habit to do so anyway...
Once we will have some modded kernels available, battery charges will last longer on our phones, but for now with original kernel, we can't do much about it. Try to disable what you don't need, WiFi is less power eater then DATA radio, close GPS if you don't need it, Bluetooth and so. Screen is a BIG power eater those screen are marvelous, but they need power to be bright and amazing like they are. We tend to forget they are not desktop computers, but we are all using them as such! I personally found the technology very impressived for what we can achieve on a single charge when I consider the tiny size of the battery. Don't take me wrong, it can and will be improved, but so far I don't complain with what I have actually.
This seem pretty normal? I'm coming from a note 2 so battery is obviously going to be worse no matter what comparatively.

Which kernel are you using? With stock boot.img it eats your battery even on idle and deepsleep so flashing a different kernel also helps with your battery issues. Flash OXP kernel and it makes a difference with your battery life.
I'm running elegencia 4.5.0 here and i can last for 1 day with wifi and data on with frequent use.
Ps- i don't play games.

Elegancia 4.1.0 att with whatever boot img was supposed to be flashed with it

Well it does seem that you need to run the battery down a few times before it will start working, and apparently, you must do this with every Rom update, from this Rom anyways.

Is it just me or is AOSP MUCH better on battery vs Touchwiz. It seems that when I run a aosp rom with a certain kernel, it lasts me throughout my whole work day of browsing and using the phone and I still have battery left over.
If I have Touchwiz, I have to connect it to the charger before I'm done with my shift.
Maybe you have some touchwiz features turned on, adding to the drain.

I get great battery life on tw. There was also a bit of gaming, netflix, and posting here.

Funny you posted this. I experience exactly the opposite! I have all the TW gimmicks turned off and I consistently get much better battery with TW.

I tried aosp. Much smoother, even when using ondemand like stock touchwiz. Unfortunately the battery compared to touchwiz with most gimmicks off was not great. Not significantly worse... But noticable.

Yeah, I like AOSP much more but battery life is typically worse. However, ocsn usually make it through whole day on either so it's not s huge deal.

Well for me with my ZeroLemon 7500 mAh battery I usually get 3 to 5 days on AOSP

So I'm running CM 10.2 now. I have noticed a slight drop in battery but I was able to make it through the day, even staying up later than normal, without a problem. I'll have to give it a few days but the difference is easily noticeable. I'm just not sure it's a problem. I'll report back in a few days.

Umm... Like I said, I can easily make it through a day on either TW or AOSP. With TW ROMs I typically have greater than 50% left at the end of the day, AOSP is closer to 35%. Now, until I need my phone to last more than 2 days, I'd rather not carry around a giant battery that more than doubles the thickness and weight of my phone. To each their own, I'd rather have a charger in my backpack than that thing in my pocket.

Swap in my spare battery. Overall - 2x the battery, 1x the thickness.

Not to mention the lack of cases that will fit his extended battery.
I haven't used TW in a couple of months but from what I remember, I don't notice much of a difference.
What aosp ROM are you guys referring to?

I for one have flashed about all of them and none of them compare to the battery life on stock TW.
