Hello
I am planning to buy new batter for EVO 3D Gsm but there is one little problem. For example this battery:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450mAh-Ext..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item54029d2cd5
They say it´s compatible with HTC EVO 3D G14 and G18. Will this battery fit to my X515m? And what do those "Gs" mean? And does anyone know if this battery is extended or will it fit to my original back cover?
I also found some X515d on eBay.
Thank you very much for answer.
G14 and G18 are different phones, battery can be used in HTC G14, G18, or Evo 3d.

Thank you! I thought that their are versions of EVO 3D like "x515m" or something. Thank you again.

Do you think that GSM is same as CDMA battery? Because if you want to change LCD you have to look out for this. And also, I asked seller about this but evidently the chineese didn´t speak English, is it extended or it fits into original HTC back case?

The screen maybe different, but with my 1 year knowledge of the Evo 3D, I'm sure that there is no difference between the two batteries. Also, the CDMA battery should easily fit into the GSM battery slot with the stock back housing and vice-versa.

I hope so, as i never saw a CDMA phone.
it is extended battery pack 2450 mah means you will get more juice and it exactly fits into the original HTC case. No need to worry about it..
But there is a slight problem with the battery slots. we need to take a small saw and extend the battery slots at the top as they are little smaller. I did the same and it was an excellent fit.
Let me know if you need more info.

Hey I was Wondering If anyone out there could give me a few good pointers as to how I can make my Droid Eris faster...
Task manager... end apps you aren't using at the moment.
A task manager will not make much difference. Try searching for why you don't need one first before you go that route.
I agree. I used an app manager when I first got my phone but someone pointed me to an article about why you shouldn't use one. Now that I don't my phone is more stable.

Sell it and buy an Incredible when they come out next month.
Might just go that route myself if it's not stupid expensive.
It most likely will be.
The thing that worries me about the Incredible is the battery. It uses the same battery thats in the Eris...

Yes, but there are higher capacity batteries available. I've also heard they're going to underclock the processor, most likely for increased battery life. Don't know why they don't just put in a higher capacity battery. It's already got that big funky cover on the back.
How the heck is it possible that while screen-off, my battery usage is between -401 and -495 mA? Is this normal? GSM version btw.
I had an android HD2, it uses average of -3mA
I know this sounds stupid, but have you installed any apps? HTC has said most battery drain issues are due to "bad" apps. Maybe do a nandroid, wipe data, and perform the same test from a stock clean ROM?

Might be an obvious question but do you have a Live Wallpaper enabled?
check your battery use in the settings. That'll help narrow what the cause is. Also keep an eye on your signal strength. Switching between roaming an not roaming takes a toll on the battery. Weaker signals also mean the phone is working harder to keep the signal. You can also go to Applications -> running services to see if anything instslled is keeping the phone awake.
Can you guys post some currentwidget readings of yourself?
Cause the lowest I get is 161, and my HD2 got to 3 or 4 most of the time..

R.I.P. HD2 hello EVO 3D!!
Download CPU Spy from the market and see if your phone is able to go into DEEP SLEEP. if not, then remove 1 app/widget at a time till it does, voila, you found the rogue app!

Same exact problem here. My HD2 would use anywhere from 2-6 ma on idle with the screen off. This was running a non-sense ROM of course (CM7 or Vanilla 2.3).
My 3VO is still stock and it idles at anywhere from 40 to 300+ ma. It makes no sense. My HD2 got far better battery life with a much smaller battery.
I think once we get rid of stupid ass sense and get a clean AOSP/CM7 build, things will be much nicer.

That's all "normal" if you can call it that. Display taking up the most, but still in standby the readings are very high, but I guess sense does this seeing as more people have this problem..
battery help

Practically, how much is your battery life dropping? Example: 100% to 60% in 2 hours? And what was the phone used for in that duration.
For example, If I charge my CDMA EVO 3D to 100% at 9pm and unplug it and leave it idle overnight, it goes from 100% to 98% by 7am. So, on idle, it drops 2% in 10 hours.
This thread isnt s2 speicific but i love my s2 and xda has the best minds around so..
My bosses are due for an upgrade and i have been reading everything under the sun about which smartphone has the best battery life... problem is, every website has different results if any on battery life. I realize that big screens and quad-core are all the buzz, but the HTC inspire that one of my bosses has, is a battery hog. We have tried everything to get more life out of the phone, new batteries, multiple batteries and nothing seems to help. The one with the HTC is a power user. Texting and calling around the clock. I would like to get him another HTC with the same screen size because he is used to it. Any ideas/websites would be appreciated. I have read too many reviews and battery life seems to be an afterthought with most reviewers. I like to see test results and comparasions on battery life but so far i have not seen any good ones.
thanks in advance!

My phone's battery is draining drastically. Immediately i start doing something with the phone, the battery starts draining heavily. The highest i can get is about 4 hours of use. I've considered buying the Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended
Battery for the Amaze 4G but i want to know if anyone can testify that the battery actually does what they promised. The phone is gradually driving me crazy. I've even tried different roms, no of them stopped the battery drain. I just need testimonies on this battery or any other 100% sure method that can work.. thanks!

The phone uses same battery with the sensation but the sensation lasts much longer. I really need help! Something that works!

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled. If you keep your 4g data connection on all the time then you will end up with horrendous battery life on any ROM; good luck
Don't get mugen, go to eBay and get EC battery (1900mA). I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

thanks for your help.. before i proceed, let me explain exactly how the battery drain happens....
when i charge it up to 100%, immediately i unplug it and leave it for 5 minutes without use, it goes down to 96%, and soon goes down to 89% within another few minutes and continues that way.. when am using the phone, the battery drain is even worse. what do you think? should i still proceed with your method?

Im looking for a bigger battery to fit the G3. Anyone been able too source one that isn't bootleg? If not, anyone been able to source a replacement battery and battery charger cheap? Id prefer the bigger battery if there is one

Yeah I've seen them. Hoping someone here can tell me if its last longer then the stock battery. I don't care if it fails after 4-6mths st that price. I'll just cop another if it sctualy HAS longer OST
Don't think that there is any 3850mAh with same size as the original 3000, sounds like spoof.
