[EVO 4G Accessories] Agfadoc:
Just got mine today from Amazon for $49, I charged it until it went green, and because I am fully aware of the evo stopping the charge cycle until it hits 90% again, I powered down, charged it again while powered off until Green, took it off the charger numerous times and each time it took less and less time to turn green.

This indicated to me that it was charged. I reboot into recovery, wiped the battery stats, rebooted and checked the voltage of the battery once booted. 4.217

I powered down and did a few more charging cycles and rewiped the battery status to see if I could get it to go any higher, but it stayed there at 4.217

I took it off the charger and will run it down to the end, and finish the battery calibration and recharge completely over night.

One thing I noticed right away is the size is actually the same as having the Limited Active case on that I had on previously, but now it is slimmer due to not having the rubber sides like on the Acive limited.

I already had a bare bones holster clip and it fits in there nicely, and overall is smaller than what I have been carrying around.

Looking forward to having all the power that I need, I am rooted using SetCPU and Netarchys kernal with SteelH Rom H1. I got pretty good battery life with this combination and the Seidio 1750 that I had, but mroe is always better.

I am married with kids and grandkids, I could care less about looking cool. This thing however should suit me fine as I travel extensively and need the reliable power.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Agfadoc:
I am trying my best to drain this battery and am astonished at the power it has. Full Brightness, 4G, Live wallpaper, BT, WIFI, Angry Birds, videos.. Amazing.

I have to comment on the size, I have been running the Amazon Limited Acive with holster and a 1750 battery, and am moving to a Caseless Extended with Holster and I have to say that I really think there is less mass in the extended than the active.

Sure the extended isn't pretty, but it sits in my hand perfectly and the thing isn't nearly as large as I thought.

I am impressed, but a bit pissed that I waited so long working my arse off to get better battery life. That's what life is about, learning I guess.
[EVO 4G Accessories] no1spec:
Love this battery

I absolutely love this friggin battery. I haven't used live wallpaper since the day I got the evo, a day after its debut. With this battery, you will be able to enjoy more features of the evo the way the phone was meant to be experienced. I usually use 4g about an hour a day, now I use it all day long and I still have like 45-50 battery left at the end of

the day
[EVO 4G Accessories] blackroseMD1:
Well, after having this battery for a while now, I'm very, very impressed.

I spent all day yesterday texting, talking on the phone, using maps with GPS for directions, playing Angry Birds for about 3 hours and surfing the internet. Also, I can finally use my live wallpapers now. I unplugged the phone at 8:10am...when I went to sleep at 2am, it still had 31% left.

After the experience with the battery I got from Amazon, I was a bit skeptical...now I'm a believer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xero187:
I don't know if it's the way I'm looking at it, but does that cover protect the top and bottom edge:confused:... doesn't look like it to me :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
No flames here. With my G1 I actually went the route of the cheaper 20 dollar battery. It had to come from HK and took 21 days. When it got here the battery cover was misshapen. They sent me another very quickly. The battery worked fine. After 6 months the back cracked, and the sent me a replacement, but every time it took 3 weeks. This time I just chose to go with a closer and reputable company. We will see if its worth it, but so far I am impressed. Additionally, accessory cases will probably show up for this battery cover as well as a customer dock or car dock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I just got my Seidio 3500 Innocell as well...

I get about 9 hours of non-stop high-def, maximum brightness, overclock'ed, wifi based use before I get the notification to charge on CM6.

Not too shabby :eek:. Might be able to get more life out of it if I was a little more conservative. :rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
You guys realize that 90% of the aesthetic appeal this phone has goes poof as soon as you put on that battery cover.

Also I can't imagine holding it comfortably.

To each his own..
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
To be fair, I don't feel look at the back 90% of the time so I have to disagree. :)

Slimness on the phone is definitely a form over function compromise. The thickness of the Evo now is almost exactly as thick as my Palm Pre was (I just went to the accountant in the next office and compared my phone to her Pre).

When I look at my phone, I stare at the screen and oogle at its sexiness. If someone on the other side of McDonald's sees the back of my phone when I am snapping a photo of a cockroach climbing out of the deep fryer and thinks "omg that guy has no class and a crappy phone" well then that's THEIR problem.

Beauty. Beholder. Something something.

:)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Amco:
I know this is a dumb question but does the back come with the battery? I was looking on Seidio website and they sell the back cover separately too. I admit I'm all about using the phone rather than how it looks :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] saintirish:
I am about to get an Evo. I purchased the Seido case for my current phone (the HTC Hero) when it first came out and I had a MAJOR problem with the case constantly slipping off and I eventually became so frustrated with it that I sent it back. Has anyone had that experience with the Seido battery on the Evo?

Also, is there a forum that rates the various battery models you can get on eBay as to which of those people like more?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rockdrummersrock:
I have to say I definitely agree with everyone on the looks now that I have it. The pictures somehow are misleading, the phone looks just fine to me I actually kind of like the back case design. If I didn't like how it looked I was probably going to return/resell it. I just got the battery so it's charging and I'm waiting to see how good the extended battery really makes it.

Quick Pros and Cons.

Pros-

--Design is actually pretty nice looking in person

--Protects Camera

--Feels nice in the hand and texting

Cons-

-- Only thing I can really think of is if you do not like the look.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
Yes, there is a combo pack that comes with the back on their site.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
For those of you who only use your EVO as a Phone for 10 min. out of the day, the 3500 is probably overkill.

For those that use it as a Laptop replacement, this battery is a must. A friend yesterday was like, how is the weight. So we compared his G1 w/stock battery and my phone with extended battery. His is thicker and heavier. I had an extended battery on my G1 and never ran out of juice.

Function over form in this case... for me anyways. If your trying to impress someone with the looks of your phone, then show them that 720p Avatar Movie like I do. Show them the great pictures this phone takes. And if they still give you lip, bash them in the face with your 1lb. EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phillycreamboy:
Does the battery affect the signal strength at all? Can someone test with it in and without it in?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SharkUW:
No. Signal strength is the same. The battery does not block any antenna.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hpycpl2:
Thats funny.. ;-)

I have to agree though, its a completely different experience not worrying about your battery..
[EVO 4G Accessories] phillycreamboy:
That's great to hear. I was slightly concerned that adding thickness and a different cover might make things worse. Damn all the Apple voodoo has me on edge! Haha
[EVO 4G Accessories] lzlaxhacker:
Wow...that thing is giant. Yikes.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crackbone:
It's really not. It appears to be larger than it is. That being said, I'll take some additional heft and size to never ever have to worry about having enough juice.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ycats:
got mine yesterday, doesn't add that much bulk to the phone.......the pics can be deceiving until you actually see and hold the phone............this is a very nice welcome accessory for the EVO
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
I think you can fix that. Why not get a gel or hard case (from cheapo location) and "cut" around the battery location (so it slips over and only the extended part of the battery cover is not protected by the case). Because the battery only extends in the middle, it should grip nicely.

Plus, replacing a back-cover is way cheaper than replacing a phone ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] rockdrummersrock:
Wow. Just wow. Not only is this battery+case combo perfectly functional and nice to hold/text with, the battery really lives up to the hype. I abused my Evo yesterday downloading several apps, making phone calls, answering emails and texts. Surfing the interwebs some, and not to mention that the 8ish hours I'm at work the the poor thing is roaming for about 2 bars. I also turned on WiFi and GPS periodically. After all was said and done about 16 hours after taking it off the wire and abusing the hell out of it, I was only down to 35%. Amazing. My phone with moderate use on stock battery would be at 35% towards then end of the work day. I love this battery and the replacement door is top notch quality as well. I would highly recommend this as a great investment towards further enjoying your Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
Have you tried a hot glue gun?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Keanen:
Agreed, this thing can take a beating!
[EVO 4G Accessories] no1spec:
Talk about a game changer, this changed my world. I just hope N. Korea never gets their hands on one of these batteries, or we're all in trouble.
[EVO 4G Accessories] robpet2:
yeah this battery can take a beating... but i got to find out whats killing my battery.. i went from 30 hrs yesterday to about 6hrs ( via juiceplotter ) .. kind of wierd .. testing azerial rom right now, but i think its the Dark Tremmor Apps2sd thats killing the battery life..
[EVO 4G Accessories] blackroseMD1:
Yeah...Apps2sd will kick the crap out of any battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] frankpreyes:
I haven't had any problems. I have a2sd on my evo, with the seidio extended battery, without any problems. Check for 4g getting stuck in the on position (sense roms). I use my evo as my wifi tether all day long and typically have 50 - 75% battery left at the end of the day.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jesuscakes:
You mean function over form dog.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bones841:
Any tips on how to maximize the 3500 seidio battery? I just got it
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
Yes, there is a kernel that has a battery tweak to allow maximum charging of our batteries, even extended ones. You have to be rooted but it works, I am running the 4.2.2 no havs version and my battery reaches 4.190 of charger when before I could on bump charging only get a 4.129 at best. I havnt fully tested to see how much longer it will last but im betting a bit more. The kernel is in the development forum.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Agfadoc:
Did you happen to update to the 1.90 pri? That one jacked my processor to 100% all the time. I have a2sd also and it seems fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
this helps!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876590

This is the tread on the battery tweaked kernel that has been giving excellent battery life.

also if you have flashed 1.90 youneed to update to a 3.70 Rom or flash back to a 1.77.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bones841:
I would really reccomend this
[EVO 4G Accessories] blackroseMD1:
This kernel is giving me some awesome battery life. After I unhooked my phone from the charger this morning, it took a half hour for it to drop down to 99%. This is on both CM 6.1.1 and GB-EVO beta 2.
[EVO 4G Accessories] squick:
I just flashed 131 last night and it is working kickass. I have my cpu overclocked at 1152000 and its just sitting at 100 percent for a while now. I've even been messing around with it a little.
[EVO 4G Accessories] naorion:
nm - read the thread once I got on my PC
[EVO 4G Accessories] naorion:
Ok so I finally read through this whole thread once I got back to my PC and here is my noob question. I am rooted using unrevoked and running the latest stock OTA Rom fully rooted and deodexed from this forum. How do I go about installing the kernal you guys are suggesting? Does it flash just like the radios do?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Agfadoc:
I wiped the dalvik and cache and flashed after a nan backup
[EVO 4G Accessories] tb87:
Are you guys saying the battery wont fully charge on other kernels? Im kinda confused here. I was looking at picking up one of these batteries, but dont want to switch kernels lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
To be honest with the amount of research that has gone into the modified kernels I firmly believe you will start seeing this fix trickle down into the major heavy hitting devs on these forums , Myn , CM and a few others . The charging fix addresses the charging issue or bug or however you want to view it . So more than likely as I said before , whatever rom and kernel you favor will eventually probably impliment this fix
[EVO 4G Accessories] drtic:
CM 6.1.1 + battery tweaked kernel makes seido really rock..:) From 100% to 99% in one hour. I have been using Evo really hard today, almost 6h and after 24h im in middle of battery. Really worth for it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] noregretzzzz:
I know this thread has more to do with the appeal of the battery, but I just received my 3500 mah battery for christmas and was wondering if any of u guys had any problems charging it while in the phone, and maybe know of any solutions. I've tried looking for answers but have come up with squat. TIA.

Swyped from my fresh evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
What kind of problems are you having? It will take several charge cycles to reach full capacity
[EVO 4G Accessories] noregretzzzz:
When I'm using the stock battery, everything is gravy. I can charge with the ac adapter, my smooth sense battery indicator and vanilla lock screen will show how much charge I got left. However with the extended battery, it won't charge off the ac adapter,i have to use the wall charger it came with, the vanilla lock screen won't show me the battery percentage and the smooth sense indicator will show an exclamation mark instead of a percentage. I guess I can live with it, but the down side is I can't really trickle charge since I have to charge it outside the phone, and to gauge where the battery is at, I got to go to my settings.

Swyped from my fresh evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] lilxpoohbear:
i got a question

which battery is more longer lasting for people that has both batteries?

I hear you the seidio can range from 2-3 days n a few hrs. (moderate use-intense)

And according to tonybailey89, he can get up to 3 days 13 hrs. (moderate use-intense)

the price is obviously different, but which one is the better value and the build quality of the two batteries.

I am planning in getting the epic 4g or the evo and I hear the epic 4g or the evo 4g's stock battery can't last a day or 7-10 hrs without charging again. And I don't think I am going to be running custom roms at all. Just want a clean phone. I'll wait patiently for froyo and honeycomb/icecream.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
The seidio battery is BY FAR the better battery. The battery life is amazing. With moderate use I can get 2 days with very heavy use like streaming movies from the internet with low signal I get about 8-10 hours which is impressive for that heavy of usage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lilxpoohbear:
8-10 hrs is quite impressive. is that with rooted or stock?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
Rooted. I was running azreal rom with netarchey kernel when I was streaming movies. Now i don't do steam much.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mhamlettster:
Heavy usage, I get all day out of it. Was running CM7 and it seemed to do Ok, but no 4g on that rom, so I'm back on something else(flash addict). Was getting about 18-20 hours with BT on and back and forth with wifi. Usually testing connection speeds for my job since we just rolled out a new router.

I switched back to this other rom with 4g, had it on all day, I'm at 84% right now(about 10 hours so far today, been texting and sending emails.

Someone in the original post said they coudln't get anything to stick to the cover, but I took my rubbery feeling screen protector off the day I got it and cut it to fit the raised areas of the door and it worked great till my dog decided to show me how he can peel it off. (also used a piece of the screen protector to cover the cam lense)

Question

Hey, So my Seidio Innocell 3500mah battery is supposed to come today in the mail and i was wondering how i should go about using it for the first time. I know i am supposed to charge it for like 8 hours or whatever (i plan to let it charge overnight) but am i going to wanna clear battery stats right off the charger? or what is the best step by step procedure with a brand new battery?

also, i will want to change to an SBC kernel to have the battery fully charge overnight? I'm thinking Tiamat

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
If you want the battery to charge fully the first time you could use SBC. I have used them since they came out with the OEM battery, a cheap Chinese 3500mah battery and a Sprint branded 2600mah extended battery(which I think is made by Seido) and have never had one problem with SBC. You will probably get a lot of people saying don't use SBC and really it is your choice on if you do or not. One thing you should do is charge it at least 3 hours after the battery light turns green, then let it charge all the way down to where it is about to die and charge it again for 3 hours after the battery light turns green. SBC is your easiest route and I will always be for them, but like I said it is up to you. You could wipe battery stats after you charge it all the way up the first time, but I don't think it is necessary.

Hey guys. I think my Sprint 2600 mah is going to die. It rarely charges now. Often I have an exclamation point instead of a percent of my battery life, the charge light just blinks instead of glowing. This started happening last week.

I'm looking at the Seidio 3600 mah battery. 40ish of the reviews say that after a couple of months it starts to crap out to about the same battery life as the stock battery.

Is this true for anyone here?

Thanks.

I have the 3500 ebay battery and it has been really good. I have had it for around 4 months. Great case and it cost me $15.00
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
Just got mine today from Amazon. Does anyone else have a problem with the way the back case fits? When looking at it from the back, the left side does not lock in flush. In fact you can push that side down a bit because it's not flush and a bit flexible. The top, right, and bottom are seated and flush and don't flex at all. I called Seidio and they were not aware of a problem. But I vaguely remember readying somewhere that they were having problems with the back case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
You can dip it in some hot water for a few minutes and snap it back on. It can be tricky, though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
Has anyone found a good case for the phone/battery combo? I don't like the official seido one. Any other options?

HK Battery & Back

I bought a 2600mah extended battery from Hong Kong($11 on ebay), it seems to give at least 70-80% longer battery life and it looks "ok" too.... it comes in other advertised ratings 2600/2700/3000mah - I don't know if there is a "real" difference with these batteries but mine is doing great...no soft gel cover fits though- I like the idea of cutting out a silicon gel cover for the siedo back cover...;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
It worked! Thank you so much. Boiled some hot water in a plastic bowl in the microwave, took it out, put the back case in for a couple of minutes, took it out and dried it, snapped on perfectly in just a few seconds. I kept going over it to make sure it was fully seated because it went on so perfectly I was just amazed. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Seidio should put this solution in their tech support knowledge base.

Any one done a battery boss check on it
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
Batteryboss shows 2821 mah for this battery. While not the rated 3500 claim, they rarely are. This is still double the 1480 rating of the EVO OEM battery. I love it. I can leave 4G on w/o fear of a dead battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kooper113:
While on a long road trip my battery died on me (was on transit, no power source). Within the last few % of my battery life I ordered this battery, tired of running out of power through the day using GPS as much as I do.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sdsoundguy:
Works great I get about 10 hrs of heavy use out of it
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnsongrantr:
been testing this for about a 2 weeks now. I conditioned it by fully charging on first use, and completely draining and fully recharging, doing this 2-3 times right after I got it, OC'ing phone w/ absoltely everything on and leaving a game on and screen on the entire time.

I'm completely sold on this battery. I took my battery off the charger Friday morning before I left town, under light/moderate use all weekend I finally plugged my phone back in this tuesday morning with 25% left I am running an agressive underclock/undervolt on CM6rc1 but that IMO is absolutely amazing preformance.

it fits in the seidio face in belt clip holster very nicely. The back does look like a profile of batman with no real reason behind it other than to protect the camera lens it appears, but other than that one thing I've had zero issues with it, highly reccomend for those who want an outragous amount of battery for power users or frequent travelers.
