High Quality Battery for Sprint HTC Evo 4G 2000mAh NEW

I just bought that. I will let you know it works when i get it. I have battery probs- i have watch dog there are apps that act up from time to time but the battery over 1 day is unheard of on my part- Not sure what else to do- I am using RLS4 with stock kernel

I have skype KIK messenger too- wonder if they ultra kill
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Kik rapes your battery on Android, Blackberry, and iOS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hustle24:
just bought one of those too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Not really. I've been experiencing terrible battery life with every ROM and kernel I try. I could only get 10-13 hours with 2-2.5 hours of awake time. Uninstalling KIK was the first thing I did and I have not seen any major improvements in battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Okay, I'm taking your word for it and downloading Watchdog as we speak. Thanks for the tip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
Im in a similar situation. Cant seem to get these 24+ hour battery times that a lot of people post on the forums no matter what I do. Ive made sure nothing is wakelocking my phone, turn all my data connections off unless i really need them, use the kernels everyone suggest for battery life, tried the battery data wipe tip etc etc etc. Pretty much everything that i can think of.

Still only averaging about 14-15 hours of battery life with pretty light usage. Just txt'ing really, occasionally browsing XDA or reddit.

With my 3g turned on i lose about 1% every 3 minutes when the screen is on. Idk whats going on :(.

Although I have noticed that Handcent keeps your phone in a wakelock when you receive a txt if you use the pop up notification. It wont get out of it until you read the txt or exit it.

What's the best way to use watchdog? I'm used to using spare parts. Do I need to setup the widget in order for it to monitor?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rivertamer:
I do use the widget.....shows idle % used % and total apps.....I simply open widget and kill apps that I am not using at the moment...it allows you to whitelist apps that should run at all times......kill the ones that are not needed.....it will send a notification if any apps misbehave and you can kill accordingly.

Watch dog allows me to readily see when an app pops on uninvited and i kill it. Mike
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
well get some money's worth (solid use) with 3 g on -

videos, hulu, web, xda, music, etc.

i think 5 hours of wake time is good battery life.

using htc #17 and everything off - i have no drainage

(sleep at 98% wake up to 98%)

when i get solid use - now using 15-16% per hour - best it's ever been

so with 5-6 solid use hours, i'm happy -

and then i say to myself -

what the hell are you doing using your phone ANOTHER 6 hours today!!! :)

bruce - step away from your eVO and get a life!

bruce: i can't ! don't want to. OK, tomorrow :)

Rips Theme for RLS4b

Myn

Rip has put out a new theme version that is compatible with RLS4b. It's based on his ColorNClear, is compatible with the drop down power menu, and has a Rosie add on that is compatible with your Rosie Settings...very nice :) Perhaps you could put it on your page #2 post for those who are looking for options.

Thanks

I have what appears to me my first quirk with a Myn ROM. When adding a WiFi network, WiFi turns itself off before I have a chance to pick a network. I turn WiFi back on and then all is good.

Thanks again for the tip. I have it installed and I have its widget setup on a screen with the rest of my utility apps. I appreciate the knowledge. Take care.
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
Ok only 2 bugs I have seen so far if you can call them that is when I'm using an app I can't answer a call which might have to do with the second being that the dialer and phone controls are sluggish to start don't think it's a kernel issue because I get the same wetheron stock, ziggies, or kings. Can anyone confirm this or is it just me? Still great work myn love the rom even more now that I figured out how to change my title bar widgets around.

My phone has been on for about 7.5 hours today and is at 6% battery remaining.

I downloaded Watchdog and the Idle is 63%; Apps 43. Some of these apps I never even use so I'm not sure why/how they are on. Any help here?

Spare parts partial wake usage has Android System as the biggest user.

When I go to the battery stats:

Maps 23%

Cell Standby 18%

Android System 16%

Phone Idle 14%

Voice calls 14%

Steps to make your battery last 24+ hours

1. Sign out of everything

2. Disable all wireless and gps

2. Turn off your phone

3. Only turn it on when you need it.

4. Make sure it's off for sure.

5 Basically stop using your phone, guaranteed more that 48 hours of battery life.

Hey guys,

My phone lasts a day with everything logged in. I leave my house at 6am and I don't plug it in until midnightish, this is after USING it. Some days it won't last that long because I'm playing Angry Birds, or Homerun Derby so I plug the thing in. iPhones, Blackberry's, and Windows phones don't last 24+ hours anymore either.

Just use your phone, have a charger handy and have fun with it. Don't dwell on it because the battery won't last 2 days...Nextel. Done.|
[EVO 4G Android Development] suarezn:
That's probably the amount of time you'll get from your phone if you actually use it. In your case I see you have Maps running and that kills the battery very quickly.

The comment that other phones don't last all day is not correct. I would never buy an I-phone, but I have to admit the battery usage is a lot better. I have friends that have them and they can easily go two days without recharging with normal use and the blackberry lasts even longer.

No matter how we try to spin it the fact is the battery on the EVO just sucks. I'm currently getting about 15-20 hours, but that's with very little use and almost everything turned off most of the time, which makes you think what's the point of having a powerful phone that you can barely use unless plugged in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Battery blows balls on the Evo? This isn't news! But I'm going to have to concur, the Evo's battery life does suck.

What governor is ziggy's kernel normally set to? Smartass right? Collin_Ph conflicted with it and my device was running so slow. I had to disable it through the terminal. I noticed it changed the governor to Ondemand and now I wanna.change it back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Just an FYI on charging your EVO in the car if you use a lot of navigation, streaming radio, etc.

I haven't been able to find a standard car charger yet that can keep up with the battery drain caused by using navigation when I drive.

Finally I decided to go with a 75 Watt power inverter. This is just a toggle you plug into your cigarette lighter that turns it into an a/c current. You then plug your regular wall plug into it and charge your phone just like at home.

I can run navigation full blast for an hour this way and end up with more charge than I started with. Try it. You can get a power inverter for about $30 at radio shack.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djorijun:
I actually owned an iPhone 3G and 3GS and the battery was crap did not own the 4 so I can't say much, a friend of mine owns it and says her battery life is so so, she said she had better life on the Evo and regrets returning it. I actually used my phones to the full extent. Push email, make gmail pull, push FB, google talk logged in, I even went as far as jailbreaking so I can get more features. Those phones lasted me a day at most, this is why I'm not surprised that the Evo doesn't last very long. the last PDA that lasted me more 2 days without a charge was the Blackberry 8700 and my Treo 650, and this is because those phones didn't have the functionality that all new devices have. Apps, games, multi touch, vibrant screens, you get my drift.

Granted the Droid X my boss is testing, he says the battery lasts longer than the iPhone 3GS he just got rid of, maybe about a day and a half. But he doesn't use his X like I use my Evo.

Where I work I have access to these new devices, as a matter of fact i'm hoping to get our test Windows phone 7 before thanksgiving so we can test.

PS, I'll agree that maybe the Evo should last longer, but why even bother. Just have a charger ready and enjoy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
I carry an extra battery and never worry about losing power. I can't see the reason to own a smartphone with everything turned off to preserve battery.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just emailed my buddy Ziggy471 with the info. If anyone can build a killer kernel with this implemented, it's him :)

So HTC has a new official 2000mah battery for our EVO's? Does this add a bunch of bulk to the back or does it retain the same slim footprint?

Excellent :)

I will be adding this to post #3 now :)

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] suarezn:
I can guarantee that if you used your EVO that much you won't get more than a couple of hours. Try watching a movie...you probably won't get through the whole thing before your battery runs out. I just think they could have done better for such a nice phone. Anyhow preaching to the choir...we all know it blows. Just carry a damn charger everywhere you go and use it to your heart's content.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gsx62391:
i had some battery issues among other random ones since rsl3, alot worse in rsl4. i went back to rsl2 and this seems much faster and i hardly get a chance to even use my spare batteries anymore. I read on another thread that the 0003 hardware version doesnt play with the new 3.30 update which is what the rsl3 and 4 base is. It was made for the hardware version 0004. Rsl2 is the old 3.29 base and i think this is true from my findings. just a heads up for those running hardware 0003.

[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
I hear this and all.. but IMO its just not acceptable to have to do all of this just for me to be able to get from the time I go to work until I get back home without having to charge the phone again... which is roughly 8 hours. Ill tell you what though, the next phone I buy im not buying day one again period. I will be waiting to see what kind of battery life it gets before I buy. I like everything about the evo but the battery situation is just terrible. Having to buy batteries that turns the phone into the size of a potato.... carry extra batteries... man its just too much. I dont even need 24 hours I just want to be able to use my email, calls, texts and a little web browsing and be able to get home without the phone being dead.

And no its NOT the rom... I get these kinds of results no matter what rom i've used. Im not an iphone fan at all but I will admit that the push notification system definitely works a lot better on the battery life on IOS4. Sigh...

My radio seems to shut off, but the phone doesn't sleep after I toggle 4g off. It sleeps with 4g on, but once its off, the phone holds a wake lock until I reboot. The phone reverts back to 3g, and doesn't lag, but just won't sleep. Awake time never pauses when the screen is off. Perhaps a full wipe and reflash will solve it.[/QUOTE]

Full wipe and reflash sholved this for me. I had the wake lock when I only cleared cache and dalvik cache. Do the full wipe of data.

Ive been having battery issues since friday, flashed rom probably wed.

I installed ziggys 1105 last night and no difference yet after a full day where i used the phone as little as possible, only difference was now i have fcs all over the place and had to pull the battery twice today. Im a little bit frustrated at this point but hoping the fresh install will help.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I have a conspiracy theory about EVO batteries. Although they claim to be 1500 mah, I think that many of them may not be, or if they are, they are seconds and of inferior quality. Consider the evidence:

1) The apparent wide variation in battery performance between users.

2) The fact that EVOs have been produced with defective parts (light leaking screens, etc.) so there is precedent for their use.

3) The fact that although EVOs are rated to charge at 1 amp and come with a 1 amp charger, they only will charge at 650 ma. Why would HTC send us 1 amp chargers then limit the battery to charge at 650 ma? Could it be because they know some batteries are defective and don't want to risk blowing them up? A 1500 mah battery should theoretically be able to charge at 1.5 amps safely. Even erring on the side of caution, there would be no reason for HTC to limit charging to 650 ma unless they didn't want their use of inferior batteries exposed. The average Joe charging his EVO will assume he is charging at 1 amp when he is not and never will.

I am using RLS3 and not having any problems with 4G and web sites. I just tried it in Skyfire and the stock browser and all are loading fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I thought I was the only one who thought about this. A couple months ago I was able to get 20 hours. Now I'm lucky if I make it to 12. Same usage, same apps.

I only get better battery life when I'm home since I'm on WiFi all the time. If I go out, I lose 10-15% per hour. Thought about getting extended battery but don't want to add bulk.

At this point I just carry an extra battery as I gave up on ROMs and kernels.

Yes RLS3 works great with Riptide V8 or lower but you must use V9 with RLS4 or ugly things will happen...breaks everything (bootloop city).

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I completely understand what you are saying. Just wanted to share battery saving tips that have been out since soon after launch. And these are things you do once and leave alone. Takes maybe 10 minutes? If you do some basic tweaking, your phone WILL last all day with the light use you are describing.

My friend has a launch day Evo and he goes all day long without worrying about or needing to charge, so it's not a launch day issue. And not all extra batteries are big. I have 2 spare batteries, cost me $15, work great, carry a spare in case of an emergency, and they are the exact same size as stock battery, plus they come with a better charger.

When you buy a phone that works like a laptop, is larger than almost any other phone on the market....if you want to get the most out of it's battery, you might want to spend some time, just once, trying some tricks that have worked for others. Or - spend $15 for 2 spare batteries and never worry about it again.
