Extended battery is it all that?

Too be honest, both are pretty darn heavy for batteries. I would guess it may be slightly heavier, but can't be sure without having both together.

The Seidio did great again today, unplugged 11 am again and used pretty heavy all day, currently at 40% and it's 130 am.

I am, and of course that does help, and is another benefit to rooting.

However its not going to increase battery life by 2x either. Especially when I have it overclocked to 1.4ghz.
 
Yea most people who get better battery life rooted are moderate to average users. HEavy users like myself don't notice much difference. Im the kind of guy who likes to use my phone in all it's glory. Im on Das Bamf 3.0 over clocked to 1.6. I have my display set to max, never on wifi, and leave my wifi hotspot(free version) on all day so it automatically connects to my computer instead of me having to set it up every time. With all that, my battery still last me all day with more than 30% left by 10pm. For me, its necessary.

Many user reviews as well as independent tests have shown that your company consistently overstates the capacities of your batteries.

By how much though?

There's a chart out there somewhere, can't remember the name. You're better off getting the stock extended battery as their stated capacity and real world tests are pretty much identical. Every second hand manufacturer lies.

Just got back from the Verizon store near me (Central Jersey), and I went to go buy an extended battery and the sales rep informed me that they are having a special for 4g phones. Now I'm not sure if it's just batteries or accessories, but it is 50% off. So it only cost me $26 for one! I was thinking about just getting another one but I hope i'll be happy enough with one.
 
VZW is sending me one for free first they tried to offer it to me at 20% off and i was like um no i bought a phone for $250 plus acc. um i shouldnt have to spend more to get my phone to work lol then they tried to say ok i waive shipping and give it to you for $21 and i was like um no again you are telling people this is a known issue and not eta on when this will be fixed and your marketing this phone and with all the bad press you have already gotten for it and then also i spent ............ so then they offered it to me for free :D
 
5.5 hours of calls + heavy data and all transmitters and receivers running. Fresh battery, like its 3rd charge or so.

Good job sir.
 
The extended battery is amazing. I went with my brother when he was getting his bionic and they said that all 4g phones extended batteries were on sale so i finally got one. 19h 21m since last charge and have more than 50% left! I would say that it has been medium usage but I did use nav twice for about 30 min each time and can now keep my screen brightness pretty high so i can enjoy the amazing screen on the T-bolt.

Bottom line: GET THE EXTENDED BATTERY! It makes the T-bolt one of the best devices out right now!(Also it is actually way easier to hold with the bigger back idk why but I perfer it lol)
