I've had all weekend with it. It's been great and I'm on a ics build that is known to be bad on battery due to the leaked kernel being maxed out 100% of the time.

I got 5 hours screen on with 21 hours.....I was lucky to get 2 hours screen on and 7-8 hours on standard battery
[HTC Rezound] gumdoc:
The extended battery was one of the best investments I made for this phone. I travel a lot and never have to worry about losing battery time any longer.

BTW, for the people saying you should never let the battery drain to 0%, I couldn't disagree more. Pretty much every manufacturer of extended batteries not only recommends that you do this, they recommend you do it 5-6 times in a row at first to properly "condition" the battery. I've done this with all extended batteries I've owned and find that by the 5th drain, my battery life improves about 15-20% over the first run through.
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
If you have the extended back already and just want a second 2750 mAh battery, do like I did and order the Thunderbolt extended battery. It is exactly the same as the Rezound extended battery. They are selling for $5 on Amazon. Check this out:

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Not sure where you are getting your info from, but just about any battery FAQ will tell you the following about Lithium Ion batteries despite what the MFG's tell you..

Lithium-Ion - Li-ion batteries are the newer type of battery that are found it most newer cell phones (most definitely most, if not all, smartphones use Li-ion and many "dumbphones" use them too now). Li-ion can be thought of as "smarter" than NiCad batteries; Li-ion batteries don't suffer from the "memory effect" and thus don't need to be conditioned like NiCad batteries.

However, be sure to avoid fully draining/discharging the Li-ion battery as much as possible; every time a Li-ion battery is fully discharged, it loses battery power and life.

People often confuse Li-ion and NiCad batteries and try to condition Li-ion batteries by charging/discharging them 4-6 times. Trying to condition a Li-ion battery like it is a NiCad battery (i.e. charging/discharging the Li-ion battery 4-6 times) hurts the Li-ion battery more than helps it.
[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
You guys are spreading around a lot of misinformation. It's true lithium-ion batteries don't need to be "conditioned" but the device itself needs to be calibrated to the battery you're using, thus the need to fully charge then fully discharge a few times to get "proper" battery life.

People also think that 0% battery means that it's fully discharged. It's not. It just means the voltage has dropped to the point your phone can no longer run. There is still juice left, and it's that bit you want to make sure doesn't get fully discharged. Draining your battery to 0% is fine, leaving it in that state in your phone for months probably is not.
[HTC Rezound] gumdoc:
My information comes from the inserts provided by the manufacturers. I've had batteries from Hyperion, Mugen, and Trexcell; I have the Trexcell insert sitting right in front of me now, says exactly what I already described.

Would take a lot of convincing for me to accept some random FAQ over what the manufacturers, who know their products best, are suggesting I do.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
My opinion is yes, the extended battery & cover is worth it - but only if you need it.

I will give you an example: I take an hour long subway trip to work every day and entertain myself by heavily using my rezound phone during the commute. There is good 3G coverage at the subway stations, and 3G phone and data drops many times in the underground tunnels. I will arrive at work with 70 to 75% battery left, and then charge it at work. The same thing occurs on my commute home, that one hour of heavy use will consume about 30% of the standard battery.

On the other hand, I can use the extended battery for 3 hours of heavy use. One hour commuting to work, one hour during my break, and one hour commuting home, and the battery will be 20 to 25% at the end of the day. This is without charging it at all during the day. BTW, at work I have an excellent strong 4G signal.

So.... If you only plan to be away from a charger for more than two hours and will use the phone the entire time, then the extended battery is something you need. Get used to the extra weight, bulk, and far less choices in cases and holsters. An alternative is two buy a spare standard battery and standalone battery charger and swap batteries when needed.

Another alternative is the external battery system. It is the size of a pack of cigarettes and has an internal rechargable battery. You can charge is external battery overnight, and charge your phone from it as needed during the day.

I do not like the weight, size, and case/holster choice of the extended battery. I'd rather charge my phone at work, and carry an extra fully charged standard battery in case I need it in an emergency. I figure two standard batteries should be equivalent to an extended battery.

However, I do have the extended battery, cover, holster at home as an option in case I will need it under different circumstances.

I got my extended battery and cover for free from Verizon - I suppose the manager was trying to make amends for a recent screwup. I purchased a Verizon case/holster on some internet site for $17 (free shipping). So, it didn't cost me much to have the extended battery option. But, unless there is some real need, I'd rather use the standard battery and charge often.

My two cents,

Regards,

Howard
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I love my extended battery. It made a significant difference in how I used the device in the most basic ways and I actually like having just a little more thickness and weight - the extended battery adds what has become, for me, an extra bit of grip on the back so it's harder for my baby son to knock it out of my hands when he gets curious.

Yeah, the little guy's already trying to unlock and root his baby monitor.
[HTC Rezound] lynneddington:
Running rezrom 3.4.4. 4 hours screen on, 52 mins talk. Lots of forum looking
[HTC Rezound] gumdoc:
I agree with your comments about the calibration. I've had a few batteries where it says 100% yet within an hour it's dropped down to 85% with no use, then it drops at a normal rate, but can stay on 1% for an hour or two. Once I've calibrated the battery, the remaining time is more accurate.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Aside from opinions, this post lists empirical data and refers to actual research done with Li Ion batteries:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051

Conditioning can be bad for your battery, and "full" discharge will actually shorten the life of your battery.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
How would the extended battery not help? It's almost twice the size of the standard battery. So if you get 12 hours with standard, then you should get at least 18-20 with the extended.

I have 2 and swap them as needed and hardly ever need to charge.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Yep, always run em down for the first two or three charges. Extended or regular. Always see and increase in overall performance afterwards. The memory effect on NICD batteries meant that if you didn't completely discharge them, the total charge you could put on them would drop. Saw this on RC cars for years. The L ion batteries don't have this issue. It doesn't hurt them to run them down, and the phone definitely needs to get "synced up" with a new battery. I run mine dead at least once a month after the initial break in cycle. I get two full work days from my extended and love it! Best phone accessory I've ever bought.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
It just depends on if you can charge it within 12 hours or do u want a bigger back and go 20 hrs.... I have plenty of chargers so I say keep standard

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I just bought this.

It's legit.

100%.

Anyone with an extended battery who travels (or is away from chargers for a long time) or wants an extra battery to charge up and toss in the glove compartment for a rainy day.

Get it.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Ok, Deron and pkopalek - I pulled the trigger on the Thunderbolt extended on Amazon (HTC OEM). Hope it works. Looks like the contacts are on the wrong side, from the pics, but it's less than $10, so why not?
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
The picture on the Amazon listing is not accurate. What arrived for me was the exact same battery as in my video.

This is the first cycle of the 2750mah on ineff v1.4, stock kernel...

about 3 hrs screen on and about 9 hrs of music... rest is basic use.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
It all depends on how you use it. I used it the other day and made it from 745 till 2 and was at 20%. However, I watched 4 hours worth of tv also, and then browsed the internet for another hour. So, I had 5 hours of screen on time. and that was with LTE on in a horrible service area. (basement of a concrete building where I would only passively get a signal. But I can make it through a full day of heavy use and come home with 30-50% of the battery still left after 10-12 hours. And keep in mind thats with at least 3-4 hours of screen on time.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
I don't think so. As they have done this for quite a while due to complaints of short battery life in the LTE phones. IIRC I think this has been on sale since jan or feb.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Since December. Got them for 19.99 before Xmas.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
where for $20? I can only get it for $30
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I get rediculous battery life with the extended.
[HTC Rezound] phyba:
I average 4-5 hours of screen on. Just depends on.how I.use it. Some days it can last all day but I can kill it in 10 hours but my screen in is always about the same
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I have an extended battery. I typically don't use it, but I keep it fully charged in my backpack at all times so if my standard dies I just switch over. Or if I know I am gonna be working all day I'll put the extended one in at the beginning of the day.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Just picked one up with the case today. Verizon only gave me 50% off the battery, not the case. Adds a major thickness to the phone, but it feels more comfortable in hand now. Going to calibrate and see how this battery pans out.

[HTC Rezound] knights665:
I had the extended but returned it and just carry an extra standard just in case
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Just received my T-bolt extended and can confirm that it works like a charm. Fits a little more snugly than the Rezound extended. Now I can just use the two extended batteries and keep the standard for emergencies. The extended battery is definitely worth it, and the phone actually feels more comfortable in my hand with the extended in.

Battery life is just too short for me with the standard.
[HTC Rezound] knights665:
I think the design of the extended battery door is just to ugly

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
The new version of rcmix tweaks use cloud based downloadable tweaks. So you need a working net connection for the tweaks to be downloaded and applied.... This is one of the reasons lowveld hasn't updated endymion with these tweaks, and has instead come up with Endymion tweaks, with all necessary tweaks stored offline on the sd card... Helps avoid exactly these kind of situations...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wase4711:
Really want the giant screen of this phone, even though I really like my Epic Touch 4G; Obviously Sprint data speeds suck right now, but, not sure ATT would be that much better here in the SW 'burbs of Chicago..

Anyone out there that switched from the ET4G for this bad boy?

Are you glad you did, or not so glad?

Thanks so much for your input! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
I switched from an E4GT. The note makes the E4GT feel like a regular phone. I look at the E4GT and some how manage to think it's the same size as an iphone. Then I grab someone's iphone at work and wonder how they could possible use such a small thing. To be honest, I think the Note really is too big but then I'm still having my Sprint calls forwarded to my Note.

I was running Cauklin's rom on my E4GT and I feel it is slightly faster then my Note running ICS Stunner 4.3. Battery life is better on the Note, no problems making through a 14 hour day with 20%-30% left and that is with Skype on the whole day and not using wifi at all.

With Sprint I have no 4G in my area and on my best days I get 250Kbps. During nights and weekends less the 50Kbps and that is with full bars. I have to run a Verizon PRL to get a 800 Kbps. 18 months ago I was getting 1.2 Mbps on Sprint. With an old ATT broadband sim in my Note I regularly get 4-8 Mbps and on my worst days, 1.9Mbps.

After 8 years, I hate to leave Sprint and Sero but they have been dropping the ball and according to the released maps, LTE is not even scheduled for my area.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wase4711:
I am a long time sprint customer, but, I don't really like what has happened with them over the last 2 years; they really aren't offering anything better than the competition any more, and I can actually save about 30 dollars per month going to ATT; they used to be horrible in my area of chicagoland, so, that is a major concern.

I have an air rave with Sprint at home, so signal is fine there, but, you are right, outside of my house, I'm lucky to get 500k speeds.

thanks again!
