The battery is still poo.

same as my gnex.... except i cant carry a spare.
phone is ace, just not sure how im going to get through a whole day.

Yup, seems battery life is not too good on this thing, similar to the Galaxy nexus, average 3.5 hrs Max for most people.

3.5 hrs screen time? thats more then enough for a full day if so

Probably because you've been playing with it nonstop.
Wait til the novelty wears off and you use it normally. Only then can you make that claim.

Stop with the poor battery threads already. If your dissatisfied return the device or wait for a custom kernel.
PS. Battery life threads are still poo, too!

I'd expect it to greatly improve when 4.2.1 or whatever rolls out.

Ill buy the phone off you if the battery life isnt good enough. Jus' sayin'.

There are a couple battery threads already, please post your comments there.
Thanks

[Q] Which new phone?

I have, for the last 2 years had a mini (which im still gonna keep), and i can buy a new phone now. My budget is 25000(maybe another 3000-4000 extra also)
Which phone would you recommend?
I researched a bit, and found nexus 4 really good. But will it be available now in may 2013 in India (bangalore) in ordinary stores or only online on flipkart and stuff? and what are the cons? I have read that its display is not too good... any other major factors i should be aware about?
Also can anyone recommend any other good phone in this budget? No need for links, ill find out about it myself; i just need the name.
Also I'd like something better for gaming and internal memory(lol as all mini users would like) size isnt really a issue, just its should be above 4 inches.
And which nexus is the best one? theres a google and an lg one, im getting confused...
Oh, and i would like to thank everybody on this thread for being so helpful, you were all wonderful!
thanks a lot!

For samsung You can increase budget by 2500 rupees and buy SIII on flipkart for 27500...Else HTC has some flagships but i dont trust other companies much...

Nexus 4 everything what u want a good design , a phone from google side which will give fastest updates , and yet even a popular phone on XDA

I am also the same with u, want to buy a new device, after exploring everything i have decided to go with nexus 4
Don't hesitate, screen is vry responsive, great dev support and very famous device
Dont waste ur time book n4 believe me u will never regret
Don't go for s3, its just waste of money, i have lost faith in Samsung after bought my mini, look wise n4 is much better than s3, glass back is premium look dont waste money on samsung plastic
I m pretty sure out of 27500, samsung is charging atleast 3k for thier touchwhiz ui which is not worth it, u can always apply tw theme on n4
At last i would say, u r lucky enough to buy n4, i cannot buy it for atleast 2 more months cuz of my bad exam result :'(

[q] nexus one battery - ???

Hey all,
I have had my Nexus One, since it came out, in fact it was given to me by Google themselves, I love the phone, and thanks to a combination of treating it well, screen protectors and an Otterbox Commuter case it is still in absolute pristine condition and I don't want to part with it. I have also put Cynogen mod on it and a top of he range 32-gig SD card, so it does everything I need.
Also I am on a great sim only contract with 3, and don't want to change it to get a phone from three, when I already love the phone I have.
However the Battery is starting to fade and I need to replace it, and after looking over the web I see that there are a lot of rubbish one's out there and it is very easy to get duped.
So I was wondering if any of you kind folks at XDA developers have had any positive experiences of buying a new battery for the Nexus One.
I would be happy with standard 1400Ma replacement, but would ideally like to increase this a little bit, but don't want to change the back or look of this classic phone in anyway.
I would like to thank you for you time in this matter, and look forward to hearing your lively replies.
Kind Regards - Ashe.

Mugen or anker, most everything else is subpar

Hey thanks for the reply, much appreciated, however any chance you could post me a link to a reputable dealer, and do either mugen or anker do a battery that fits under my original cover but has a genuine greater capacity than, the stock 1400Ma Battery,
Kind Regards Ashe

I would just check eBay or amazon, there is plenty of security there. And yes both out perform the oem and are the same size

Thanks Old Sport, have ordered a 1600Ma Mugen off Ebay, hoping to get a little better battery time off this one than the original, and that after I upgrade my ROM to Kit Kat, it will give my phone at least another 18 months of serviceable life, (really don't like the current crop of giant, android phones, always thought that the Nexus one was the perfect size compromise as well as a design classic)
Kind Regards - Ashe

Better battery life Note 3 or One M8 ?

I am thinking of upgrading from my S4, which gets middle of the raod battery life, like 4.5h On Screen time. I am looking for something that gets 6h On Screen time minimum. I am thinking either the Note 3 or One M8. I want better battery life #1, and a good screen for outdoor use #2, and just an overall speedier / faster phone. Which phone gives better battery life ? A rooted and ROM'd new One M8 ? Or a ROM'd Note 3 ?
But I am disappointed with the U.S. carriers + Samsung for being Nazis and locking this Note 3 down so tight, that sucks to see. I have my S4 rooted, with all the good tweaks that come with rooting, like removing all the garbage bloatware, and apps like AdAway, Greenify, etc... And Wanam Xposed.
Thank you.
P.S. I played with an S5 at the store, and really liked the revised looking Touchwiz, looks much much better flat now, and the Phone and Contacts apps seemed way faster, and just different in a good way, compared to my S4. Would love to see the Note 3 with the S5 .apk's.

I get 3 or 4 days battery life on my Note 3 I'm rooted,,,Htc is inferior to the Note,,,Go with the Note 3 .

Ask the same question in the m8 forum. Lol. I have both devices. It really depends on your usage.

Why do people even bother to say they get insane battery life, when they know they do not!? To get that kind of battery life, you must only send a few texts per day, and maybe make a call or two. I'd love to see those battery stats.
REAL usage only lets you get close to a day, and even less. Anything streaming, you can count on definitely less than a day. Just sayin!

battery life is pretty good. if you intend of get the note 3, get it on tmobile so its easier to flash roms and such. but keep in mind, the note 4 is around the corner. that being said, the m8 just came out. so yeah.

Yeah you caught me I'm lying Lol...lots of texts and use the phone,, I will post a screenshot for you..

[Q] Aftermarket batteries

Noticed Hyperion may offer a 6000MaH battery in the future for the G4 likes its predecessor.. but that adds significant bulk to the phone.. anyone seen anything that's smaller in the wild? like a 3500-4000Mah battery? would be awesome without the added bulk perhaps.. :angel:

I would like to see that.
Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

That would be a much better idea, but then again it all depends how the phone behaves with an aftermarket battery. I have been wanting to get the hyperion and see how much the phone lasts, for sure about 2 days with insane screen on time

hey man.. i saw this http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Quality-...850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee3147afa
thinking of getting it but it feels a little too good to be true given the price.. what do u think?

I don't know. I think I might wait until I see something from known manufacturers. But feel free to buy it and let us know. Also, I don't like that it's only 500mAh more than what I have already. I wanna see a 4000mAh or 4500mAh before I put my money down.
