My experience is the same. My first day test was wishful thinking. The 2000mah battery isn't horrible, but that rating doesn't seem to be correct. It's an ok second battery though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
My hyperion batteries have not held up well over time. It's only been 2 months and their life is deteriorating quickly. With the phone in airplane mode the voice recorder drains the battery 20% in an hour and twenty minutes where the stock battery only drains 8%. The wall charger has fallen a part where one of the prongs connects to the battery. I lost the piece or I would have soldered it back together.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akcooper9:
Thanks for the update! I was about to buy a pair but I think Ill hold off!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theandroidpros:
Yea I own it just got it last Thursday its a 3600 mah batt.... its alright doesnt really seem like it last that long. But I do run alot in the back ground. so far it seems like a great battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
OK - the batt has arrived and I'm just running it completly flat and then will recharge and see how it goes for the next couple of days. I did weigh both this battery and the "stock" and they are about the same (not a good sign IMO)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I picked up the Anker 2 1550mah + charger combo for $17 and it has performed well. I now have 3 batteries at my disposal and has not since have to worry about power usage. The Anker charger is actually pretty good as it has the 2 prong as well as micro usb input for power, it also has a regular usb out for power bypass so you can charge battery and another device at the same time.

Here is the first full day on the new "2200mha" battery - seems about the same as stock to me post flashing ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22480315&postcount=167 )
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Has anyone tried the 3400mAH Mugen? The extended battery cover looks much better than other 3000+mAH covers. The price is pretty high, though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
I went with a 2000mAh battery from andida, had real good luck with them on the inspire...just on my third cycle now...one more then we will see how it does
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I already have the Andida "2000mAh". It ended up being slightly worse than stock. I am done with off name Chinese batteries. I hope yours fares better than mine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
hmm just doing 4th recycle today, but will post results
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Im at about 16hrs on this charge with the andida battery with 2 bars left
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
I have tested by the Stock HTC Battery and the Feipusi under the same conditions (playing videos over WiFi) with the following results as shown by the screen shots:

-	HTC Stock 1650mAh Battery was at 14% after 5h Hours of playback

-	Feipusi 2200 mAh was at 7% after only 3.5 hours of playback so it is infact worse (not a higher capacity) than the stock battery.

Both batteries were run flat, and then fully charged before testing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
those may not be good batch....andida have been doing well so far
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
I've Bern rolling with my stock and 2 Chinese eBay 1800 batteries. The eBay batteries definstely Sony last as long and the get to about 40% then die very quickly. They aren't the best, but for $12 I get alot more unteathered usage. I think they were worth it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bigstout:
I'm not interest in over sized extended life battery.... I hope to find a good 2200 2000 battery that actually has then same performance as it's rating.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Arn't we all - they shipped me another Feipusi "2200"mAh but it is like the first, shorter life than the original and it dies very quickly after about 40%
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
bigstout, I think you're going on an endless hunt only to be disappointed. I understand you wanting better battery life in small form factor, but the battery tech isn't there yet. Sometimes the manufacturer makes the battery casing thin to get a bit more LiPo juice, but it's only slightly more and in this case, no where near 2000mah.

With current battery technology, the phones just need a larger battery. For me, the HTC One is a fail with its 1800mah battery. Make the phone 2 DANG MM LARGER AND PUT IN A 3500mah battery. All the features in the world mean nothing if it's dead.

Motorola with its RAZR MAXX ALMOST got it right. Unfortuantely Motorola can't make a phone with a decent Android experience. MotoBlur bites and the MAXX can't even do Exchange email unless you buy a 3rd party app.

My advice.... get the cheapo 3600mah or the Mugen extended battery with cover.

No matter which battery you get, you'll want the Mugen cover. The cheapo cover is worthless. You can get the Mugen cover by itself on eBay.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iStatiK:
Anyone?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
I have 2 of those 3500 battery's. Its great to go 3-4 days without worrying about charging but I have to agree with willgill.. the batt covers sux. I'm trying to find a mugen one .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
This is the one I have right now. Last about twice as long as the standard battery depending on usage. And like others have said, get the mugen cover. I finally bought it and it is well worth the money.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anthromatt:
The MAXX can't do Exchange? Are you sure? If so, that's a Verizon thing (I think) rather than a Motorola thing. The Atrix 2 I used, which had plenty of issues, did Exchange without a problem.

I wish HTC would just make an OEM extended battery. That is one thing Motorola is good at...providing options for power.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Correct, the RAZR MAXX doesn't have native Exchange. I have two coworkers that had to buy third party apps to get Exchange. It's not a Verizon thing, there just isn't a corporate email client. Touchdown works fine.

They must have improved the Exchange mail on Atrix2. It was horrible in the original Atrix.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] radi0chik:
Too bad the Mugen ones aren't in white. Are there ANY aftermarket extended cases that are white? Or metal? Or anything but crappy black plastic? I have a white vivid. I don't want it to look like crap. Then again, it'd be nice to have a battery that lasts longer than 3 hours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Grab some Krylon Fusion paint and give it whatever color you want. The stuff is great.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
+1

I like the black cover on my white vivid.. give it a sophisticated look :cool:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] noone606:
So has anyone had any luck with battery's that fit under the stock cover?

Need something more than stock thinking even the mugen 1700mAh may be worth a look
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Did anybody try the mugen 3400 mah one? I'm thinking about getting one, a little pricey though... I don't want to do the same mistake I did with my old atrix when I bought 2 cheapo chinese replacement and turned out to be a lot worse than stock, also messed up my battery stats, even after I put back the stock one... Also I should look for a flexible bumper case to go with that.

Mugen 3400 mAh Prelim Results

I have the Mugen 3400 mAh battery. On the first cycle I got about 1.5 days. The second cycle was over the weekend when I didn't use it much. Got 2.5 days. On my third cycle now. Ran the music player for several hours yesterday and left WiFi on over night. Down to 52% after 24 hours. Will continue to test.

The special back is OK, but it tends to slip up just a little. Not really loose though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Do you have a case on it? How does it looks like, or is better off without one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I have a case for mine. Just got a cheap tpu case and cut out the back section. Looks alright, but its mainly for protection, not looks. When I get some extra cash, I'm going to get a commuter case and mod it to fit.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Any updates/thoughts/regrets? I'm counting on your review to make my purchase :-)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
If people are worried/slight interest just go buy the cheap ones on amazon or ebay for 15 bucks.. see how it feels, weighs and battery life. everyone's different
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I'm giving Mugen a try, then I might buy a cheaper one as a spare :-)

Mugen Extended Battery - Good News and Bad News

I have just completed using the Mugen 3400 mAh extended battery over about 9 days. Note: My usage is probably less than that of many others, so my times still might not be the same for others.

First, the good news: On the first full cycyle I got 1.5 days. The second cycle, over the weekend with less use and airplane mode at night, was 2.5 days. The third cycle was 35 hours, almost 1.5 days. Fourth cycle was 40 hours and I was still at 20% when I plugged it to the charger at night. I might have made it overnight for 2 full days.

So, I was getting 30 hours or better with average usage. I suspect I could get 24 hours with slightly heavier usage. I suspect that someone getting 6-8 hours of heavy usage could get 12-16 hours with this battery.

Now the bad news: The cover that comes with the battery is plastic. When I decided to replace the extended battery with the standard battery, I could not get my regular cover to fit. I discovered that one of the four plastic clips on the extended cover had broken off in the slot on the phone. These four clips, or feet, hold the cover in place. I managed to pry the broken piece out with a small knife. So, the next time I use the extended battery, the cover is not as likely to remain in place. I was careful with the phone because I had no case. I noticed some slight movement of the cover at times and would push the cover back into place. I don't think I was at risk of the cover falling off. (I know that this was a problem with the standard cover for some people.)

I have not been able to find a case for the Vivid with the extended battery.

Yes, the extended battery makes the phone heavier and thicker. However, I did not find it to be too heavy for me. Also, if you normally use a case, you will lose the case, and its weight, if you use the extended battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I'll add in my experience to this.

I use one of the amazon batteries with the mugen cover. Overall, I see the same lifespan with the amazon battery as brucegil. I can get about 2 days of moderate usage with WiFi on and never in airplane mode.

The cover that comes with the amazon batteries is junk. Two of the clips broke off the first time I removed it. Due to this one breaking, I scooped up one of the mugen covers.

The mugen cover works great. It's a little snug, so it won't slide off while its in your pocket. Ive used it on my phone for a couple weeks now with no issues. However, I swapped back to my standard battery so I could use my defender case. I found that the clips on the mugen cover had widened the holes on the back of the phone, making the original cover loose.

This isn't too big of a deal for me, since I use a case most of the time, but I could see it being an issue if you don't use a case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Thank you guys, I'm going to buy it, 12 - 14 hours with heavy usage is what I'm looking for. I will also get a gel case to stretch on to it or cut the back somehow. I plan to keep the phone for about one more year, so the investment in mugen might worth, hopefully lasts more cycles (I've had pretty bad experiences with cheap batteries on my previous device, ended up with the stock).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I would go with a cheap tpu case and cut the back out. That's what I did for mine and it works pretty good. Doesn't cover the battery door, but protects the rest of the phone fairly well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iStatiK:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I'm a little pissed, I got the battery with the back cover cracked on the right side! I'm going to contact them for a replacement, (and paid almost $90 with shipping on it!) The battery looks good, it came charged at 81%. I'm on the first cycle now :-).

Hi,

I flashed yesterday CM 7.1 Nightly Build 181, but I didn't like it and now I wanna try Illuminance 3 :)

I've flashed tons of Roms before, but I can't get to stock from CM7.1. My issue is that when I get the phone on download mode and plug it in to the computer, I get a USB Not Recognized error message and therefore I can't get Odin to recognize the phone hence I can't flash it back to stock :(

The phone is recognized if I boot it normally and plug it in to the computer. I'm using the same usb drivers I used to flash CM 7.1 yesterday.

Any ideas of why my phone isn't recognized when on download mode? Are there any steps that I must follow prior to getting the phone back to stock?

Thanks for your help! Greatly appreciated! :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
Sometimes in my experience all it takes is just to plug the phone into a different usb port, and I believe the drivers are reinstalled and then it works no problem.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I've been wanting to get into development for a while, but since I've had a Vibrant since before it was popular, and they have fallen out of style, it wasn't the device I wanted to really work with.

That said, I hope to be buying an Amaze today, and if I can figure out a good starting point(after I get comfortable with the differences in the flashing process), I'd be interested in learning.

The biggest appeal of the Amaze is that it is a BEAST. Hardware wise this thing will hold its own for a long time to come, should be fully capable of running whatever the future throws at it. I noticed a big part of development is the popularity of the device, this phone is new, and it is obviously popular.. it will get plenty of development I'm sure, just be patient! :)

Edit: One of the most important things I see about the amaze(development wise), developers won't have to work around a lack of features like they did the Vibrant. Color-fixes, enabling a notification light, getting gps to work-- there were tons of things they had to try to overcome rather than just make a solid, stable, feature filled rom. The amaze doesn't sound like it will have these issues.

Im running a 4g xoom with 3.2.2 with custom kernal and running great . Can anyone guide me in the right direction to turn of the annoying ota update
[Xoom General] flippingout:
The thing that worked for me...just go ahead and click install. Your Xoom will reboot and try to install the update. It will then freeze. Hold Vol Up and Power to reboot the tablet. Update doesn't work but the notification is gone! The problem, if you turn off the tablet and reboot, the notification will pop back up. But, how often do you need to turn off the tablet?

The other option, install the new Tiamat 4G ROM.

You want to go there and download the base rom and the option pack. It will take you to his website just click on the same links and they will take you to file sonic. One is called a.zip and the other is called ir5option pack or something. Flash the a.zip first then flash the option pack.. somewhere in the thread there should also be a zip to flash that has the search bar add on.. at least I think, I am on my phone right now so I am not positive sorry :/

So I just have a quick question...I noticed back when I had my sensation that there were 2 different companies that manufactured their screens. There was a huge noticeable difference. One looked fine from all angles and one looked washed out if you tilted the phone. I've noticed on my amaze that if you tilt the phone the screen gets a little washed out. Does this happen to anyone else? Does your serial number start with HT19?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Mine starts with HT19 and I don't see what you're talking about with the washing out.

And by the way do you have a black Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] quickbird144:
I'm picking up a white one tomorrow, what's the difference?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Cause I think the HT19 just means it's a black Amaze.

My sister has a white one and it reads SH1A for first 4.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
I do have the black. When I had a couple different sensations some had HT16 and some HT15 and that's how you could tell the difference between the screen manufacturers.

What I'm saying is that if you look straight on at the status bar for example and then tilt it slightly it seems to get washed out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rush115:
By washed out do you mean a very noticeable color shift ? Mine definitely isn't like an IPs display, but it's still decent. My nexus one has way better viewing angles but horrible glare.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
Yeah I mean its noticeable but not terrible. I just wanted to see if it was just me or if they were making 2 different screens again.
