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.

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.

nice battery, where did you get it?
Hey, i got this battery too and he didnt work for me. I had the same battery life as the stock battery.
LG
Ah,the placebo effect (or marketing interests?)...He has a 14% drain of battery from screen, less than half of phone idle, it means he did not use it as he says he did. If you do some research you will find out that there realistically is no way of getting more power out of a battery without increasing its size, there are some 1500 (advertised) capacity batteries which show that they are slightly bigger in size barely fitting in, but also on those users report amperes lower than what displayed...Many batteries out there are fakes...
My solution in battery problem
There is one viable solution from my point of view. Two extra batteries + charger. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1200mah-...448706?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab2080042). It just works for me.
That was my setup with Xperia X10 Mini Pro! 2 Deji batterys plus the original! I think I'll go again for the Deji in my Mini Pro. I was very satisfied with those.
Here's the link
the bigger mAh, then bigger size the batt is. am i correct?

Perhaps this will work perfect for you, it's a cheap and easy solution.
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!

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.

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.

Since almost all available on the net (online store's) are fake one's
Hi, i want to get a new battery for my tab since this one is giving me only up to 5hrs SOT (i have read it should be more than 9hrs sot). So i searched eBay and there are many low priced batteries but i don't believe that they are good. I need a help where to look for an OEM or a good generic battery?
Also i found newpower 99 batteries but they seem a little expensive and i haven't found a review about quality.
If you have any experience, your help would be appreciated.

Have any of you replaced your battery with the newpower99? If so, how was it to replace and how is the battery performing? My Tab Pro 10.1 is starting to get less SOT - so I think I may be due for a battery swap soon.
I haven't bought it, because I improved my battery life by removing it for 30mins.

whats the point of removing it ? my wife's tabpro battery dropped from 25% to 14% then to 4% straight. not in between numbers. quite odd.
There is a thread about battery removing (i can't find it atm). It is a common problem with Samsung tablets.
