Dont even tell me you arent rooted??
Recovery>Advanced>Wipe Bat Stats





Jeez 15-18 is still pretty awesome!! On my original Incredible i got the Seidio 3500 extended ... as much as i use my phone, this thing would last 72 hours average. It was unreal!!

Combine that battery with ICS and 4+1 core, and i would bet money on 150+ hours uptime. The processor management on ICS is amazing, and the 5th core on the tegra3 is just unreal in standby.

Cannot effing wait!!

Like I said, My battery is 7 months old, I convinced myself (had the cash) to get a new/better one...;D

Incredibly to say in the least, no, no root here...
I have no machine of my own to do it on.
Lol, just had to use a machine on the DL to update and configure my Jawbone era...LOL

How do you live without a computer? I would die.

to be honest this phone is good even without root. But you are missing out on a lot. Besides the usual "root only" features like backing up, certain apps, etc .. you get to load new ROM's that change the experience entirely!

Its literally night and day.

Do you have a temp phone? id say mail me your phone ill root it for you and send back ha

How do you wipe battery stats?
Is that something only for root users?
I got my mugen 1800mAh on the way...
Right now I am blinking at the end of everyday in the 15-18 hour frame... It used to be 22-to 24+.

Sorry my root-virgin friend, wiping is only for those who have soiled their phones with root access, the fallen.

That said, you should root.

LOL i got my phone and rooted on the same day, i just wouldnt have it any other way ha

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

... i just wouldnt have it any other way ha

Me either. I'm an addict.

I just like to give him a little flack for being so happy with the awesome phone we know the DInc2 to be regardless of root status.

Rooting isn't really necessary to enjoy the phone, it's just a perk for Android.

Don't forget it may take a while to "break in" the battery and the stats. Speaking of which, you should probably wipe battery stats once it is fully charged before you start using it. Let it drain completely once and recharge fully before powering back on. Then after a couple use cycles, you will get a pretty good idea of the battery life.

BTW ran it down to 1% on first discharge, took 10 hours of max brightness playing words with friends, and NFS shift. cant wait for this bish to break in, looks promising so far thanks again!

Still waiting for my battery to come in...

 

[bberryhill0]

I haven't used my laptop since I used it to root my phone. I took it to the bar yesterday to use the wifi. 38 updates. It took me three hours.

We should see leaked test ROMs for ICS 3-6 months before the official release.

Discussion on HTC One-series etc moved to here.

Please restrict responses in this topic to the subject, as it makes life easier for anyone coming alone later looking for similar information about batteries.

Ill get this one for $18 .. no need for 2 batteries really.

Thanks all!

Just an update, i would NOT buy this battery again. It is no better than the garbage stock battery i had. It appeared to be better, but then reality struck lol

these days i get to work and my battery is 50%-60% by 11am (unplugging it at 8:30am). I then have the thing sitting on the charger half the day because i need to have it >75% when i leave work, or it wont last my near 2hr trip home (streaming, games, reading, etc). I have brightness near 25% or so, gps on,

Admittedly im a "power user" but i don't care, that's why i bought an extended battery.

Next time ill need an even more extended, i suppose.

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

Sorry to hear it isn't enough for you. Let us know if you end up going for something else. I would be especially interested to see if you get something else that fits under the stock battery cover, how it works out for you compared to this one.
Mine added just enough juice to keep me happy. I did try one of the generic xtra large capacity batteries, but didn't like the look/feel, the signal sucked due to a really bad antenna in the door that came with it and it really didn't add enough life for the size.
Some people seem to really like the feel of the phone with an extended battery. Just make sure to get one of the ones from HTC.

...my near 2hr trip home ...

Sounds like you need a job closer to home! Or a second battery.

How about a car charger/dock for Pete's sake!?

Since he said that the 2 hours would consist of "streaming, games, reading, etc", I am guessing that he takes public transportation of some sort. At least, I hope it does....

 

[blackepoxy]

Yeah, he needs a external charging dock so he can swap a full battery for a low one...
Then put the low one the charging dock.
