[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
Built in battery is a deal breaker for me.

The specs otherwise appear to be pretty good.

Curious as to why HTC/Sprint chose the built in battery route.

Gotta be to generate the dollars regarding:

- charging case availability

- charge by Sprint to replace the built in battery

- Sprint can possibly say at one point that the replacement for the built in battery is not avaliable anymore

I have the SE4GT, and it has a pretty thin form factor with a removable battery, so the form factor for the Evo is no excuse for a built in.

I could see if HTC/Sprint made the built in a larger capacity as Motorola did with their 3300 mAh built in, but to make a built in only 2000mAh, makes you wonder 'what were they thinking?'

But there are still downsides to a built in battery:

- no battery pull

- even lithium batteries gradually lose charging capacity due to time and charging cycles, and with a removable, you can just pop in another new battery

- always gotta look for juice to plug your phone into if you need more juice, which means you better have your charger and cable with you. With a removeable, just carry around a spare, flat, easily pocketable battery and you're good to go

- if you want portable spare juice, you'll have to carry a charging pack with cable with you. Not as convenient as a spare battery

- sometimes you forget to charge your phone overnight. With a built in, you're outta luck. With a removeable, just pop in a spare.

Etc.

I've always carried around spare batteries for that 'just in case' moment, which does occur at the most in opportune time, and it's nice to know I have the choice to just pop in a spare battery.

The spare OEM batteries I have for my E4GT are less than $20 each. I have 3 in total that I rotate.

For an additional in depth view regarding opinions on the built in vs. removeable battery, take a look at this thread:

www.goodandevo.net/2012/04/why-an-i...e-end-of-the-world.html#tpe-action-resize-407

Until other manufacturers and carriers decide to follow the built in battery route, I have a choice to choose between a built in or a removeable, and I choose the removeable battery option.

I hope the Galaxy S3 has a removeable battery.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
:confused:

If you powered off the phone (completely), you can still get into the Bootloader without pulling the battery. I assume you have "Fast boot" enabled (which is why I always disable it, actually)?

And if you do a "hard" reboot, (hold both volume buttons + power button for 3-4 seconds and release), the phone will completely reboot, so there's no way Titanium would still be running after that. So I don't see the need to pull the battery (but maybe it's just me?).
[EVO 4G General] NaterTots:
Yeah the reboot on the ebo works great. I use it all the time rather than take my otter box off.

Plus I learned it from Capt throwback.:thumbup:
[EVO 4G General] ou2mame:
if the battery's not removable i won't be buying it. its a deal breaker. i have a charger with 4 batteries for my evo, and i use them. i don't see how one super battery as big as mine now will outlast my phone by such a dramatic amount that i won't require a 2nd throughout my day. that would literally mean that the phone lasts twice as long, which we all know it won't. so if it can't use literally half the amount of power, its just not possible for me to own it. i know a lot of people will feel this way too.. also, i hate hate hate that the charger jack is not on the bottom. that's just.....well, really? bottom of the phone. why not? it won't fit on my car's phone holder anymore. that's just great. so now i'm going to have a phone that isn't compatible with my car, and will die. yay. i'll wait for something better. probably a samsung. htc seems to really not want customers? well, i guess most poeple don't have my standards, and that's ok. but i was a loyal htc fan, even through the touch pro bs, and now its like, why bother. if i wanted a crap phone that's going to be a paperweight by 6pm, i'll just get an iphone.

People need to read the reviews of the one x n the EVO LTE has a bigger bat then the one x...

http://m.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x-battery-life-impressive-performance-after-three-weeks-use

Everyone can stop *****ing about the battery
[EVO 4G General] ou2mame:
i don't care if the battery lasts a week... it just makes it harder to replace it when it goes bad, which it does. yay htc.
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Battery is NOT the problem, the only con is that since it's non-removable a defunctional battery can't be manually replaced. (I've already had to do this once with my original EVO)

The problem first and foremost is the screen and second, Sense.

1. AMOLED would of gotten better battery life, this is one of the reasons the SGSII has decent battery life. The size of the screen is also an obvious problem. I'm super stoked for a 4.7" screen, but something like the One S (4.3") with a RAZR MAXX type battery and AMOLED screen would be killer.

2. I haven't used Sense 4.0 yet and even though it has been slimmed down, all those transitions have to MURDER battery life. I'm going to disable all that junk or set it to a simple transition mode. I don't use the Sense Launcher on my EVO because its got too much "swag."

I currently run Classic with Sense 1.0 and with the Sense Launcher/Lock screen uninstalled, this is my battery life:

Hour and a half of calls, four hours of web browsing/email on Wifi and maybe 30 texts. Brightness on auto (stupid, I know)

Here you can see my activity. The dips are when I was sleeping. I was studying for two exams on second day, hence the lack of cpu activity.

I run Launcher Pro, (It's old and decrepit, I know, don't be hatin') toggle 3G on and off, no push notifications, nothing syncs unless I tell it to, I keep my widgets to minimum (8 widgets and a few contacts/icons) and I use applications like AutoStarts to stop background apps from going foreground.

The EVO LTE looks to be getting worse battery life than the EVO WiMax, which is utterly depressing. People are getting 12 hours (One X), which means I'll probably cap out at 24 with my tactics.

There was a patch today that boosted battery life by up to 20%, so we'll see. I still want the HTC EVO LTE, but I'm curious to see what Samsung's got up its sleeve. Both of my smartphone's have been HTC branded; the HTC Touch Pro 2 and the HTC EVO 4G. I'd like to keep that going and will probably fold and get the EVO LTE, especially since i LOVE the HTC devs here at XDA. (Tommy! <3)

P.S. I'm late to the party, but 2000 Mah FCC confirmed.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
That's stock that they are getting 12-15 hrs to be fair your phone is rooted and optimized lol.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I was out on the deck without an outlet.

My battery was depleting on my E4GT.

I jumped through my window, popped in another battery, and I was good to go.

If I had a Built-in battery, I didn't have time to charge it.

I didn't have an option to pop in a spare battey.

And what would I have done, since I was going outside in a few minutes??

I would have been Screwed with a Built-in Battery.

'Nough said.

Built-in Batteries are a detrement to the Customer, and Have NO Benefits to the Customer.

Not a Singe One.........
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Why would anyone ever commit such a horror?

And I just reread thread, no one ever mentioned that they were running stock.

My point was, you can do certain things to make the non-removable battery a non-issue and then I even suggested a few.

I'm a pretty busy guy and I've only had my Evo die on me once in the past two years and that was because an app went rogue consuming 25% of my battery life.

Biker1 made a few good points (Not in the post above me, but the one before that) concerning issues with an integrated battery. But kind of counter-acted them by posting this article: http://www.goodandevo.net/2012/04/w...e-end-of-the-world.html#tpe-action-resize-407 Which points out that a non-removable battery is not that big of a deal.

The only real issue I see is when the battery degrades. Also, there are a few ultraportable emergency chargers out there that are barely larger than an old backup battery. I personally have a Joo solar charging battery, which I have for camping/emergencies. It's big, but it works. Little less convenient, but it's not a "deal breaker."

Honestly, HTC did this to make more money, or in their words, "Create a sleek unibody design." I'm just happy that I can swap out the lens cover on the Evo model, but other than that, it's tough to call the phone anything but the best Android phone on the market as of this very moment. The only thing that comes close is the RAZR MAXX because of its long battery life. Not even the SGSII or Galaxy Nexus are as good as the Evo LTE.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
Ah, com'on........

My points still stand in the post before my previous post lol!

I posted the linked thread so people get the full flavor of what Others are thinking, in addition to my other valid concerns.

And the above scenario in the above post can happen, and will happen to others.
[EVO 4G General] ftothe3:
By using a non removable battery they were able to make the phone slimmer.

That being said, I also favor removable battery and probably won't buy the phone because of this.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I would say the thinness of a built in battery device compared to a removeable battery device are negligible, as the E4GT is pretty slim, and that being the reason given by the Carriers and Manufacturers as the Primary reason to use a built in battery is poopy doo ;-)

There are many threads and posts as to the reasons why built in batteries are being used.
[EVO 4G General] rockdrummersrock:
so if I learned anything its that I'm not alone with people who think this is a problem. So my wondering is how hard would it be to just make a bigger battery and have the user install it? I replaced my lens on my OG EVO and it was cake. So unless the Battery is fused to the phone (how does that make any sense?) there will be a way to replace it.

I just wonder if enough interest can be drummed up for someone to make a bigger battery possible. As I mentioned previously just a small increase would make me happy. Up to 2400-2700 would be too perfect.

I submit exhibit A-- http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-innocell-1750-extended-battery-p/basi17hev4.htm

They were able to cram an extra 450mah to bump it from 1300 to 1750 and that was two years ago AND it fit the OG Evo without a new cover. If anyone can manage to squeeze out a bit more juice and fit it in the same sleek chassis that HTC has produced I'll put my money down right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
I am on mhx's ICS superlite ROM and today I found that my Voice calls are using way too much battery. The battery settings app shows no mobile network for most of the time (attached screen capture). However, I live in a area with good coverage and whenever I look at the phone its 4 bars or more. Anyone can see what might be wrong?

PS: the phone was in deep sleep at all the times when the screen capture shows no mobile network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
You either had to have no signal or were in Airplane mode. I only get black bars when I am on the subway or running Airplane. Do you have any JuiceDefender apps or anything that could be doing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mattio781:
im also experiancing the same thing...i have great signal all the time and no juice defender or any subway riding...maybe its just an ics thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah, on ICS I get the same blacked out signal. I have full signal though(-65dbm) and no JD or anything like that. Happens on every ICS rom. Im not too concerned about it though.

Everyone has heard of verizons supposedly blazing fast LTE and how there the fastest network around well this is my moms phone running on there network had full service and everything. She's always complaining how slow her internet is and I didn't believe her till now

Edit: in the pic it says 3g which makes no sense because she always has 4G on but idk
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
The phone is on 3G bro.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigjack216:
Noticed that but when the test was running 4G was on and it makes no sense now that I looked at it lol. Gah this is one of those fail moments

You would definitely see a huge difference if it was on LTE. That's Verizon's 3g speeds.

I've seen verizons 4g speeds go past 50mb down. Maybe your just not in that good of an area. Just cause bars are full doesn't mean internet faster. I get fast 3g in some places with low signal
[HTC EVO 3D] celborn:
If you look at the top it says 3g
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Yeah there are 3G to 4G hand offs which your mom probably had when she was no longer in a 4G area.

First rule of LTE in general is that it doesn't compare with anything out right now except maybe T-mobile's 42mbps hspa+.

Don't be bunch of d**ks, what the guy is trying to say from what I'm understanding is how Verizon lie to its customers , even tho when they are not in a 4g area , it shows they use 4g!

Grow up kids its not a preschool to make fun of the others ...!
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
Incorrect. The picture clearly shows 3G and 3G speeds and you will see a few posts down from the OP somebody actually connected to 4G LTE and actual 4G LTE speeds.

You really should think about what you say before you look like an ass. Right now it looks like you have a case of foot in mouth disease.

As the poster above me pointed out he is clearly only getting 3G.

@poster just because you have 4G turned on does not mean you are getting 4G your phone needs to pick up the 4G signal to go into 4G mode.

This has to be the most entertaining thread of the day.

I really used the stock Voice Dialer a lot which has been absent from GV 2.0 and Broken Out.

Yes! I was able to find the deodexed VoiceDialer.apk in the GingerVolt1.3.zip, copied it to the /system/app, rebooted and it works!!!!! Thank you, MT, without even trying!

I don't like his instructions. He had the phone completely apart...who does that? You also don't want to use a hot hair dryer, you run the risk of melting **** if you aren't careful. And the Alcohol we buy at the store is 70% which I guess is better than the water that is in the phone, but it still has a lot of water content in it that is left behind when the Alcohol evaporates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] creedicd:
What is your suggestion then for dealing with the issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AdamOutler:
The rice method takes 3 days.

The method I showed takes 30 minutes.

You take the phone apart to speed up the process.

I gave instructions on how not to melt it.. Keep your hand right there. If your hand gets hot, pull the hair dryer away.

I bought the 91% alcohol in the video at Walmart.

Also, I didn't mention it, but the alcohol is less likely to leave splotches under your screen than water.
