That's some good life there. How do you like dealing with the extra weight of that? Also is the case a rubber feel or smooth? I'm trying the ZL 3000 because I wasn't sure about the extra bulk and read it covers the speaker.

just returned the one I bought on amazon. I think I could handle the size and weight (even though they are substantial), I couldn't handle the loss of signal due to the battery covering the antennas. They claim there isn't signal loss but it was very obvious.

The battery has a small area cut into it to path the speaker out the bottom of the phone. It sounds pretty loud to me, but I will have to swap back to the original battery to check the difference.
I have gone 3 days of pretty medium usage. Its definitely an impressive battery!

Yep same here through my second cycle now. When it gets to 1% I power off remove battery and replace and power on to 4-15%. Normally run a battery waster app to drain. Been meaning to exercise same principle to charging but lazy about it. When I get through 5 cycles I'll probably check out one of the calibration apps. Crossing fingers...

LOL yep my stock battery and 2 extra hyperions are going to be collecting lots of dust.
This thing is a beast! This is first day after initial charge. Pretty heavy use. Stock battery would still be going as well but with only maybe 25% instead of 77%.
I did notice that my percentage actually goes up by 1% occasionally even I turn screen off. You guys get that as well?
My battery has gone from 63% to 67% in the last hour. Lol

Yea, I've tried all those apps, task killers, battery savers. Battery life is my least concern now since I have batteries.

Dayum. How do you charge all those?
Just a suggestion, see how your battery life fares if you keep your screen brightness under 25% (if you can).
I use two wall chargers. I average 3-4 batteries a day which works out well for me. I've tried the lowest setting I could possibly go with still seeing the screen, didn't seem to help much believe it or not.
Since I've gotten the backup batteries I just have it on auto brightness now.
Aside from the battery life, I'm more concerned now about the limited 4G I get and no data at all at times.
I would also think even though the battery cover is built well, I think it will wear out from all the removals.

I've gotten 4.5 hours screen time using hotwire's kang and around the same using fj's old cm9 build so it's more than likely a problem on your end.
However, I've noticed that gpsserviceprovider sometimes doesn't shut off completely after using gps and is and preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. Sometimes I would go to sleep with a 100 % charge and wake up with an 86% charge. Searched around and seems to happen on some cm9 roms. A reboot solves the issue though.
Your best bet is to install betterbatterystats and check your wakelocks. Probably some app causing it on your end.

It's really up to whether you like touchwiz or sense. And if you really need extra storage.

Its the battery life that's really getting me. I absolutely love the display and camera quality but only having 16GB of internal storage is holding me down. I only have around 60 apps installed, all of which I use, but I have more that I would like to install but can't because of the limited space. I love the DNA's well built body and everything about the way it looks, but having poor battery life and a small amount of storage is whats changing my mind. The S4 is such a high demand and popular smart phone that I doubt I would have to wait that long before somebody unlocks it.

It takes at least 2 days for it to learn your habits and how you use your phone.

I dont want to see anyone complaining about battery life. I forgot to screenie the gsam stats but that was with about 2 hrs 25 minutes of screen time. I'm on LKs newest kernel.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nice, what app is the one in the top left? is it gsam? but even if your stuck on stock this phone still has good bat life.
I'd wait it out a couple weeks for the S4. I have both to play with (thanks work) and I keep finding myself going back to the S4.
S4 over DNA
Better battery life, I'm even running the DNA on HSPA+ and it dies faster
Far better camera
I love blocking mode for at night, it works just like iOS do not disturb
Deeper Dev Pool for troubleshooting and hacks
Faster across the board
Will have a bootloader unlock solution almost day one.
MicroSD card for pictures and downloads
Multi color notification light
DNA over S4
Damn it's pretty
Great screen
HTC feels less bloated
More available storage because it is less bloated
Did I mention that it looks far better?
Wireless charging built in (but very slow)
2 things.

The Dev is just waiting for the Verizon version to be released before he announces the exploit.
The S4 has the option for qi but requires the purchase of a new back panel that has the qi receiver built in, it's not released as of yet but I believe it is set to go for $40.
If I were you I would get the DNA and personally I wish I had the option to because the main reason for getting this phone was a 1080p display but now that the S4 has one I would choose the S4 because I miss the developer support with galaxy phones.

The s4 has about the same battery life as the dna, maybe slightly better. What type of battery life are you getting on your DNA. It should be able to last all day with 3-5 hours of screen on time.

Not to mention that the S4 battery is removable and charges in 1h from 0 to 100%. With that being said the DNA has an impressive battery life considering the "small" 2020mah battery and the 5inch 1080p display.
Quick charge batteries usually end up needing replaced much more often than a non removeable battery like the DNA has. Quick charge is cool and all but the average battery life on my DNA according to gsam is 18 hours. More than enough

So far so good! Previously on my stock battery I used to get 7 hours max on heavy use ..running aokp 4.4.2 rom on HSDPA+ connection ..now I surpassed 7 hours and still 80%!
The only downside so far that it takes lots of time to recharge (unless you put the capacity in consideration )

You bet and you can always charge it back up if it gets around 50% and at least that way it will not take so long to charge.

Sure. i will find it from amazon. but we need brand name
The brand name is meaningless since it's a Chinese aftermarket battery, they all probably come out of the same back garden factory in Shenzen. Just pick the cheapest one you can find.

Thanks for the info
in really is about 5000mah i think..... maybe initially was better, after 3 montsh of use life decreased a little.
it is a good battery better than original. but it is 2 battery IN PARALLEL.
1 battery chinese WILL NEVER BE 3200mah like original. so it it is 2500 real....................... 2500 x 2 = 5000 mah about. a good amount, not the promised 7800.
