No kidding, every single one of you post the same website. Find some more evidence please! I applaud the guy for trying to make it scientific, but you need to test more than one freakin battery. So if I find 1 person that got horrible gas mileage with a civic would you post that same site over and over too? Sheep

No, but if I tested three cars from Honda and they all got around 80% the MPG they were rated at, I would say there is some consistency. Unless you're trying to say that he "just happened" to get 3 bad Seidio batteries.

Sounds like you should be proving him wrong, not the other way around. I'm sure he'll take some more Seidio batteries as donations, but I'm not seeing anything inherently flawed with his findings.

exactly, WTF. im tired of manufacturers doing this kind of shit to people. during the months of testing and QC no one noticed the terrible battery life? its impossible no one noticed this. so that they can sell extended batteries.

Guys you have to understand this is how companies make money. They make deals with other companies for there product, and then use it in their devices. then when things like the battery not holding enough charge as it does, they make money by having us order an extended battery for our phones. This is how companies make their money.

Mine arrives Tuesday I'll let you know how it goes.

So you just have to tell them Nexus One Android sleeve? I just called but the girl that picked up said she had no clue what it looked like...lol. So I said ok let me me find out some more info and I will call back later.

EDIT: Never mind, just called back and ordered it. Hopefully its the same one pictured here! It was $14.99 with shipping.

I just ordered the N1 pouch for my incredible! The guy was very nice and didn't ask any questions whatsoever. Can't wait to get it!

Sounds right, $14.99. I just called it "the sleeve that comes with the Nexus One".

Seidio is overpriced for everything they sell, so it's no surprising to me.

IMO... they are high priced but not over-priced. I bought their extended battery for my xv6800 and I hammered that thing for a couple of years... and it is still going as good as new.

Personally I do not mind paying for quality... you get what you pay for and Seidio has come through for me thus far.


YMMV, IMHO, blah blah blah

 

[Jakaro]

That's weird. You spelt it right. I am from Coeur d' Alene too. I hope I dont have any trouble when I order it. .

small world man, i work down at the casino doing surveillance, what about you?

 

[briankeith513]

I clicked the link for mygearstore and they're showing the battery for $54.99 w/free shipping. No 10% off anymore. They did accept the mothers day coupon but that only brings it down to the price of Amazon and neither store has it in stock. Doesn't seem like a very good deal anymore.

Mygearstore still shows it instock. When you placed your order, when did you get notification that it is not instock?

Im still taking my chances with mygearstore.com. The site says the 11th, the email says the 14th. I can wait the 3 days considering the price that I a

I got the confirmation email, but not the shipping date. You have a shipping date on it?!

Yeah, same here, confirmation email, but no email stating a date at all.

All those people posting their stats...don't post uptime/awake time. That has NOTHING to do with the battery life.

On the screen that shows the battery usage (% of each item) at the top left corner it will show you time since last unplugged. That is the # you should be looking at. Some of the stats people are posting don't even sound remotely feasible!

I kind of disagree with this. As long as the uptime/awake time is reset after the phone is charged, I think these stats are very relevant. The uptime should be identical to the time since last unplugged and the awake time tells me how much the phone was actually being used during that time. Just showing the time unplugged tells me next to nothing. If that time is 50+ hrs, it looks great but that person probably had the phone sleeping the entire time.

Uptime = since phone was last powered on
Awake time = how much of the time the phone was active (not sleeping)
Since last unplugged = since phone was last unplugged from charger

Not sure how you can say uptime = since last unplugged? My uptime right now is 48 hours but my time since last unplugged is 3 hours.

Uptime=Time since last unplugged only IF you cycle the power after charging.

Yes, I guess I'm surprised people do that but yes to your point.

 

[Bundy]

Have to agree with mobilehavoc. Uptime just means since the phone was last booted. Time "since last unplugged" is the time from when it was disconnected from the charger.

doing a mini test on my Seido after 3 cycles. getting nearly identical performance as I got on Day 1. I extrapolate I could get a little over 7 hours of video, or about 30% more video playback time than i got on the stock battery after 7 full cycles. I will do a complete test in a few more days, but I don't expect it to improve much. my brief testing has shown that "cycling" doesn't add much and the battery improvement is good, but still not great.

to compare, Iphone 3GS gets 10 hours of video

 

[mobilehavoc]

iPhone 3GS also doesn't have a 1GHZ CPU and 3.7" screen. Also if you didn't know this already, in general, CDMA phones (Verizon/Sprint) use more power than GSM (AT&T/TMo) just due to underlying technology.

my phone was in airplane mode with wifi off when I ran the test, so the radio shouldn't matter.

the screen size is a valid point, that will drain more battery. but I don't see how the CPU should be relevant - if both systems run the same video fine without hiccups (which they both do) then having a bigger CPU shouldn't drain the battery faster. in that case it's a hindrance.

That's assuming that the video decoding implementations are the same. Android's may be less efficient, resulting in more CPU usage.

Sorry that makes absolutely no sense. By your logic if an Atom CPU and a Core i7QM CPU both can run the same video fine then their power consumption is the same?!

Doesn't work like that.

I have cycled my 1750 battery now about 3 times or so. I have seen improved battery life over the stock battery by about 30% or so. If anyone is on the fence about staying with the stock 1300 battery or paying out $50 for the larger 1750 battery I would say by all means make the upgrade. Number 1 it's only $50 we are talking about Number 2 either way you will have a spare battery now to swap in and out when needed Number 3 you will get better battery life with the 1750. Good luck everyone.

 

[michaelkahl]

I had my 3rd charge last night with the Seidio 1750. I've been happy with it so far, used the stock 1300 battery for about a week so I think I got a good feel for it.

Saturday, I ran GPS Navigation with the screen on for about 90 minutes, sat in a theater where it hunted for signal for 90 minutes, used Internet radio for about 45 minutes in the morning, and had a lot of browsing use. The battery didn't last the first full day, but had about 6 hours of uptime.
Yesterday I was about 14 1/2 hours off the charger, 6 1/2 - 7 hours of uptime before the phone powered down. The last 1 1/2 hours I turned on all radios and looped videos to drain it before bed.
Today I'm almost to mid-day with 85%, we'll see how it goes.

no, I'm saying that if there is no benefit to the larger CPU, but it drains battery faster, then (at least in this instance) I would rather have a smaller CPU

so the excuse of "but the CPU is better!" doesn't make me feel any better

glad to see someone else with the same findings. given that the stated capacities are very close to 30% different, it shouldn't be a surprise. I was just confused by these people saying they got "twice the life" and such

however, the original few posters in this thread, who said they got way better battery life with the DINC + Seido 1750 than the 3Gs- I'm calling BS on those guys. I am a former Iphone 3g user and that battery completely crushed the DINC stock. the Seido helps a bit, but the 3G battery was nearly twice as good as DINC stock
