The battery counter of Atirx is by 10%. So, even it shows 90%, that may means 90% to 99%

Mine has been less than impressive today as well. Not good.
Mine seems to be pretty good so far. I think it'll take a few charges to get the most out of it though. I've used it a ton since about 10am and it's showing 80%. That could be anywhere from 80-89%.
Mines been sitting at 90% for about 3 hours now. It shows 90% when it drops down even a little bit because its only done in 10% increments. Pretty stupid if you have a phone to boast about battery... Motorola dropped the ball on that. You basically have a lowered battery meter all day lol
Thanks guys for all of the help!
My battery life has been decent, I unplugged it at 5pm yesterday, drove home with Trapster running (so screen on continuous for 30 minutes), used it heavily playing with it for a few hours in the evening, left it on to wake me up in the morning..
and drove back to work for 30 minutes with trapster when the 5% battery life warning went off right when I got to work.
No complaints here.
Unplugged the phone at 5am and it's 15mins to 12pm here - still full though I did laptop dock it for 5 mins several times to show people at work.

After 4 hours, I am at 75%. Email, tweaking, texting, 2 hr conference call on BT (Finiti w/Motospeak). If you check settings, Battery Manager, touch the Battery... you will see a usage breakdown. This phone is amazing. I expect after a few full charging cycles, the battery should get to full strength.
Is there a way to disable the 3G radio to save battery life (like in the iPhone)?

+1. Do a few charge cycles and then see how you feel.
I got my phone at 30 percent and it lasted four hours of straight playing around with until it hit 10 percent and I put it on a charger. My nexus one would have died with a full charge by then(original battery).
I'll see how it goes in a week, battery life takes a bit to figure out.
Remember that break-in period for batteries when you buy a new phone. Maybe after about a week it will get better? Also maybe try that battery calibrating trick...

Well considering there's no way to know it's at 75% lol it could be at 70% or 79%...either way it would show 70%. The battery only displays at 10% updates.
You can also set up custom battery saver modes in the settings>battery save(think that's it)
My battery life kicks arse. It may be helped with my ultimate juice and tasker, but I streamed rhapsody all day at work on rhapsody, and my battery is outperforming my iphone 4. I'm very thrilled.

Mine has also done extremely well, especially considering it's day one. I've toyed with it all day playing games, music and YouTube along with browsing and playing flash video. It's been outstanding so far.
Battery gauge lies. But it's normal (kind of). See here:

Hi,
I'm just about to take the plunge on one of these. What kind of battery life are you getting, generally and also say watching films?
Also, does it charge via the usb?
Thanks.

Im getting around 7 hrs on mine most of the time, last night watched Dawn of the Dead on it from fully charged and was at around 85% when it was over so can probably squeeze in 4 movies or so. And sadly no doesnt charge via usb just from power connector/dock.
Battery life is comparable but lower then most other tablets.
I'd say it's on par with Xoom... maybe a little worse.
Mine has been on for 1 day, 10 hours, and 34 minutes so far since last charge... but this is with the unstable wifi policy.. I have it set to never switch off, however it just randomly connects and disconnects when the screen is locked.
Battery life is fine especially considering the smaller battery. I do wish they put a regular sized battery in there and gave it a few extra hours of juice. This device is also so light (well balanced) that I wouldnt have even cared about the extra weight.
Took the plunge and bought the 1900 slim battery for the vigor . First impressions are it is definitely lasting longer than the stock slim battery. I will take a couple days to test and make sure it is not a placebo effect.
Are you refering to this battery?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...extended-battery-for-verizon-htc-rezound.html
Yep it looks slim, fits inside and doesnt require extra backdoor cover.
Concerning the performace please post your test results, i am pretty curious, but at the same time very confident, Mugen is a good brand.

I bought the mugen extended battery for the thunderbolt. It definitely did last longer then the OEM one but, when the rezound came out I bought a extra battery and that one lasted MUCH longer on the thunderbolt. That mugen battery didn't work right on the rezound so I didn't need it when I sold the rezound. I bought an oem extended battery for my rezound and I love it.

just got this battery today im a heavy user, ill post results next week
Im interested in seeing the results, I have been thinking of getting a larger battery, but did not want the larger cover and the bulk that comes with it
Still waiting to hear real results, plus how the temperature is.
Also looking forward to the results.
I am too. I would get one if it was actually better than stock.
I believe in the past the problem with third party batteries was the not the initial performance but the extremely short life span of the battery. Over time batteries will gradually loose their ability to hold a charge. So buyer beware, these batteries may be great for the first month or two then significantly drop off.
Good luck
anyone have this battery for a decent amount of time? I am all for just a little more battery, without the bulk of the extended.
How does it work!?!?
My Results!
Here are my results from today. I've had the battery since Monday, so I gave it few days before doing this. At the rate I used it today (Texts, Calls, 4G Use), it would have been dead by the 5 hour mark. Also, 111 is the lowest my phone has ever been when using Wireless Tether. I still text a lot while it's doing that too, and it's always at 120 or slightly above, so that seems to be an improvement as well.
initial impressions
Street putting it through is paces it sends like I am getting about 2 to 3 hours extra life compared to the 1620 battery...I have had it since Monday.
Just got mine last night, initial impression is that it lasts a few hours longer. I was at about 40% at 5 hours 30 mins, at which time I was usually at around 25-20%

Guys,
I recently got the 1900 mugen batt and I just dled this app and it says my battery is 1590mah. I was wondering if i got ripped or the app is inaccurate. I will dl another battery app and double check it.
Just wanted to see if I have the same battery everyone else has.

Mine said the same thing, but running it through some tests, it definitely last longer than the stock battery.
I am getting about 7-8 hours of normal use out of this battery, which is a few hours longer than the stock. One thing to note, however, and I'm not sure why, but last night I let it get down to the 15% warning and at 10% it just died and wouldn't turn back on. Charged up and we're fine now, so I'm not sure what happened.

Well I can't officially say this battery is noticeably better than the stock. I am getting a solid 3 to 4 hours better battery life. I have had it for a week now and the placebo effect is gone.

3-4 better is pretty good.

You have to calibrate your battery before you'll really see it's full potential.
Just had to post this factoid. I've had the DNA for about 2 weeks and i honestly can't believe the battery life. It is just getting sick battery life. I've had alot of smartphones over the years, but this one is by far the best in battery life. My last phone, droid razr, was on juice defender and barely made it through a day without charging and minimal use.
An example day like yesterday is typical:
unplugged at 7am fully charged. Bluetooth streaming music for an hour ride to work, 4 hours of music streaming during work along with 30 min of gaming (lunch). Streaming music all the way back home - 74% At home, 1 hour of tasker, 30 mins of various email and facebook. Result - 59%. No charging overnight, on it's 7am alarm, it is at 53%.
It will go 2 full days of use without charging. How did they do that? The battery is barely bigger than my dual core RAZR on a much smaller more efficient 4'3" screen. I've always had SuperAmoled phones like the galaxy S3, RAZR, etc.. I thought superamoled was more efficient.
I saw the XDA review a couple days ago and another online review a month ago. In both cases, the reviewers were also a bit perplexed about the great battery life. It wasn't just good, it was unusually GREAT.
That's good to hear.. mind to post some screen shots? Particularly the screen on time.
If I didn't live in a signal black hole I would easily get 2 days out of mine...

What's a good app to show this breakdown?
I agree 100% Compared to my thunderbolt (had it until a few weeks back, was almost 2 years old) which could not really make it through the entire day with regular usage, the DNA usually ends up at around 50% (at least from looking at the battery symbol, I've not bothered to look at the actual percent) with regular usage. I live a few miles away from a tower, so not sure if that affects battery life significantly, definitely works well though. Combined with the wireless charging setup (was not planning on getting it initially, but had ended up selling back the thunderbolt + had some sort of work discount, so it had ended up only being around $11) battery life is the least of my concerns at the moment
I feel the same way. I had a TB with rezound battery and SoaB 1.4 and it drained so fast. My DNA seems to last forever. It's such a relief to not have to have a charger around if I'm going to be gone for more than 6 hours.

Any thoughts as to why it gets so amazing battery life? On paper a quad core 5" screen with just a 2020mh battery should barely make it through the day. The nexus 4 surely doesn't get this life on a similar chip with smaller screen (i have one).

The screen is super efficient, the processor is super efficient, and sense is pretty good with standby.

I concur. I charge my DNA every other day. I've only had the battery completely drain once before getting it to a charger.

Same here with the battery. I have been really impressed by the battery. Before I got the phone all I heard was bad about it.

I totally agree with the above comments. I was scared by the prerelease estimates of the battery. Using it daily has proven the opposite. Some times I look at my phone at the end of the day and worry about the battery not fully cycling. There is to much charge left to start charging. Hopefully new batteries don't have that issue. In addition these awesome developers truly maximize the capabilities of this device. And they never seem to quit.

So what are you guys doing to get the battery to last so long? I think I have pretty good battery maintenance, and I get almost one day out of it with minimal use.
I did just get the device a couple days ago so maybe the battery hasn't been conditioned yet?

I know my screen on time is really low. I teach so really do not use my phone more than 1 hour of screen on time between 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. Image below:
View attachment 1856496l
However after that my usage really picks up. My phone still lasts until 9:00-10:00 without fail. Thanks to the amazing development group dedicating so much effort into this phone I have seen improvements in charge speed. I will post my before bed power screen tonight for comparison of usage and full day performance assessment.

Check battery usage at the end of the day and disable any apps running services you're not using. Mine was using Maps a lot for some reason so I disabled it in Titanium. There were a few other apps with notifications that I turned off as well and now I'm still at around 70% around 11PM after being off the charger since 8AM with moderate usage.
Just installed GSAM yesterday.
Ran the phone a little harder than normal, I use juice defender, but set it to FORCE ENABLE data, which offsets it's use. To give an example, typically on Juice defender on idle, it uses about 1% an hour. So overnight, i would expect less than 8% drop, but these last few days, it was more like 15%.
Had the phone on for 34 hours on battery and it still at 24% battery. (just plugged it in to get the screenshots).
I've used extended batteries for my android phones years, like most users, because of very heavy usage. I am been on Wifi all the time! Got my Note 3 a month ago and I am still getting used to its huge screen lol... This is the first I’ve even heard of MPJ, mostly are positive so I give it a go. Fired the new battery up for a full days and think it definitely worth of use. Here is what I experienced with it, but only sharing my day to day usage, not an in-depth review.
There were a few times that I turned on gps (nearly one hour) while out and I usually surfing webs or streaming music (35% volume) for hours while commuting. I put bluetooth/4G/auto-brightness off. Went back home around 6 p.m and the battery remained 60%. I want to know its limit so even went out of my way to kill it by playing games etc. Next day I played heavy->moderate data and it finally die that night.

Thanks Not sure its exact battery capacity, but at least it is manage to last 2 days of battery life depends on my usage.
It's sound good, I heard about Zerolemone will come out extended battery...
Upgraded from Xperia S to Note 3 recently, hesitates just slightly one way. Thanks for your nice review, I am looking into this battery.
Great feedback. I should give this a chance when I got my N3, thanks.
Will this gained a lot of weight?
