Droid 4 Extended/Aftermarket Battery

Does anyone know of any extended or aftermarket batteries that could work with the Droid 4 by replacing the internal battery?
I understand it is an internal battery, but that does not mean it cannot be removed :good:

You can take it out, but it's not supposed to be removed, so as far as i know no one makes one for the droid 4. Some ppl tried putting in a razr maxx battery, but they then found out that the battery doesn't fit into the same slot. What you can do is get an external battery or maybe you can see if they make cases with battery's in them like they do for the iphone and other devices. Hope i helped.

I have been looking for a case that has an extra battery in it and i cant seem to find one anywhere. If anyone finds one please let me know. I use my phone everything so it would be nice to not have to take my charger with me all the time.

Sadly, I haven't heard of any anywhere. One of these days I want to tear one apart and see if I can't hack in a battery adapter or something...

I guess here is one. Seems to work for the D4 too.

There is a replacement, though, of course. :silly:

this phone would be awesome if it had a extended battery and unlockable bootloader.

Do we have something new about extended battery?

have you check it out from Mugen? I think Mugen may have it, but it should expensive(over $90)

Do Droid 4s share the same battery with a Razr? If so, the Razrs can upgrade to the Razr Maxx battery with some tinkering. I foresee problems finding a bulged backplate for a Droid 4, though.

did you read the 2nd post in this thread?
the mugen site doesn't list the d4. closest thing is the d3 and photon (not the photon q, which looks a lot like a d4), both of which have regular removable batteries, so it doesn't look good for us. esp now that it looks like the droid5 just got leaked... and it doesn't seem to have an easily replaceable battery either.

I just puchased the mugen extended battery. It does add a little more bulk and unable to get a case that will fit the larger door. Other than the power meter not able to show true battery life. It is a software limitation. I do like the longevity of the battery though. My original battery would die while I was asleep after about 5 to 6 hours offBT the charger just sitting idle with no wi-fi or BT on.

hey there! Figured I would chime in on some info concerning extended batts for the D4.. Even though I am not sure that this pertains to the particular model you are looking at, I have found one that works extremely well, and does not need an extended back for the phone. It has thicker cells, and I've gotten more than a day out of it. Given that is not full use of course, but still thats almost unheard of (at least for me) when it comes to the D4. Also, I have to say that I was a bit pretentious at first, because this battery is sourced from china/japan on eBay. Anyways here is your link!

Yeh they have a extended battery 2085 mAh using stock door but the Mugen is 3800mAh which seems super capacity tho the device will become a bit thicker due to expanded door.
I don't mind the expanded door just want to know experience of people who have used it - how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100% and does it almost give double battery life to Droid4 when compared to stock battery...
PLSE PLSE share your experience before I spend $100/- :laugh:

I bought 3weeks ago a new battery from eBay. It 2100mAh and the battery life is quite better than before. I was charging after 4-5 hours of use and now it around 6-7 hours of use. What kills it for me when it is 1xmode for internet.....because I have flashed over to another carrier. Im quite happy with the battery.

How would you compare battery One X vs O4X?

Anyone has any opinion about this? A friend asked me to trade phones (One X for the Optimus 4X) cause he likes more the LG. I also like more he LG but the 1800mAh battery of the One X scares me, although I've read that it performs better than the battery on the LG.
Which phone has a better all around battery usage?
I ve used root freezer and froze many system apps, possibly that helps. With wi-fi constantly on for example today (although no browsing) just notifications from Facebook, I have 60% battery left ~14h on battery.
What makes me say WOW, is that I see 2% battery used on the display (41minutes on) and when I see similar screenshots of the One X the screen is 60% while the standby is at is 20%. Does the screen of the One X consume that much battery??

well, if u are familier with custom kernels, ull understand that they provide more performance ans battery. and also custom roms make a huge difference. for hox users, overnight drain is within 2 percent, amd most of the time 0 percent drain. and usually battery life is arouns 20 hours standby with 3 hours screenon. and that includes over half an hour gaming, calls, texts, and tapatalk. heck, i even tango for half an hour
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

..it's very easy to set up the lg 4x to draw around 7-8% a day on standby/sms couple of e-mail checks/some wifi-streaming use (turn off 3g, etc.). I had nowhere near that on the onex I tried when using the same settings. Basically you need to wipe the rom clean of extraware before you're going to see acceptable level of idle-activity.
Not sure where the entire thing about battery life comes from. Had the 4x last 4 hours of Max Payne. That's.. more than any other phone with the same hardware. By a good margin. As in 1-2 hours longer.. So ..
Honestly would have sold the 4x and gone back to my symbian phone if I had to charge the thing every day.

i dont have One X.. but maybe that one is better in battery life..
because LGO4X's battery drains quickly here

[Q] Battery Life?

Hi all, thinking of buying this 'Exceptional Phone' My brother has a Moto G, and I noticed how much better the battery was as compared to my Nexus 4. If anyone here has bought the phone, could they please specify/make a comment on the battery life? I know you guys musn't have had it a long time, but seeing it's a 5" screen with 2070mah, I'd like to know whether it's around the same/better/worse as compared to the old Moto G. Any Screen on Times under Battery Info will be much appreciated, thanks

U need to wait abit...i m yet to receive my moto g

12-14 hrs on a normal usage..
screen time on-5hrs

Hi, I am from India,
About Moto G 2nd gen 2014,
In India phone is available through flipkart only :silly:
ppl on flipkart review section,
complaining about charging time to get 100% charged, which is 3hrs+
so few points are noted as :
1. wall mount charger shipped with this phone heats up like a molten rock.
2. there is no data cable in the box.
3. few reported that they smelled something like plastic is burning.
4. battery last for 12hrs max on wifi use. i.e. twice a day charging
Is anyone here has the same experience?

->battery charges up in 2 nd half hours..if u use it continuously while charging..then it would take 3hrs or more..
->i didn't face heating issues of charger
->cable wasn't there even in previous moto g..
->no smell
->u cannot expect more from a 2070mah battery as the screen is now 5inch..if u go out in the morning with full charge..u can easily end it up till night with normal usage..

what about call quality?
is it too loud? that person nearby you can hear what conversation is going? also when volume is lowed?
NOTE : I haven't bought moto g or moto g 2nd gen, yet or haven't placed the order for it, it will be my 1st motorola mobile, as it is not available in store to check or non of my friends had any, so I am inquiring about it before ordering it.

Charger heats up a little for me. Not as much as you said though. No smell either. No complaints about battery life. Lasts a day on normal usage (had almost full wifi) just fine.

Well,
After using the phone for 6 days, I just got the feeling that the battery is quite average.
Yes, the charger supplied with the phone phone takes more than 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
No smell, no overheating of charger.
There is one major issue with the battery is that it drains like a hell during nights even on Airplane mode.
I experienced battery drains of 10-15% over a period of 8 hours during nights with Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile data all OFF.
This is terrible :crying:
After searching thru threads, I found out that the issue may with drivers of GPS and Wi-Fi. It requires constant re-booting of phone after usage of Location services and/or Data Services.
Let's hope Motorola fixes these issues in their update..

Not necessarily. I have like max 3 or 4 percent drain at night, sometimes with WiFi on. The problem maybe that yours doesn't goto deepsleep. Some apps maybe preventing if.

This will depend on where you are. In the US, the phone ships with only a data cable, no charger. At least that was the case with the first gen; however, some mobile companies had models that did ship with only a charger, no cable.
I'm guessing the included charger is designed for 110V optimal, but works at 220V (but gets over-warm).

You aren't in a roam or marginal mobile coverage area are you. I found my first-gen G drained about twice as fact if it was searching for signal or roaming.

I am using this phone from 6 days. i can say Moto G 2nd gen.'s battery life is awesome. it takes approx 3hrs to charged full battery. and runs almost for 20 to 22 hours. I suggest you all to buy Moto G 2014.

Hi,
I have moto g 2014 since 9-September.
I must say that the battery is good. You must use a low "a" charguer (1 A) and do 2 or 3 full cycles.
After that i achieve between 3-4 hours with average usage.
I have motorola assist disabled.
In the first 2 days i had troubles with signal, it seems to be Sim related. I changued the sim to 2nd port and is working well now.
I'm from Spain sorry for my bad english.

I am having the EXACT same problems as quoted above..
If I remove the shell, the phone smell like the battery is burning inside.
The charger hears up quite a bit, although not as much as a molten rock.

My phone was delivered 2 days ago and I'm already facing this problem.
Do I have to ask for a replacement?
Kindly suggest.

Battery problem / Performance on Moto G 2014 [ White ]

Guys ,
Bought One Moto G ( White) 2014 from FlipKart 2 weeks back but been noticing that it is having very very less battery back up compared to the moto g 2013 version !!
Normally on full charge - 2014 version is lasting only 13-14 hours with internet on but moto g 2013 version use to give me more then 20 hours back up on full charge !!
Is there any problem with moto g 2014 batteries ? or it is normal ( 12 hours only ) due to screen size of this phone ?
Please let me know your inputs so that I can ask for replacement if it's the case of faulty battery !!

Bigger screen = more battery usage.

go to wifi then advance option then uncheck scanning always available.
If this option is checked wifi will check for network in background and drain battery.

I am getting pretty good battery life. Charger unplugged 5:30am, 1 hr gps use, wifi on all the time, bluettooth on all the time, listen to music 40mins, browse internet over cellular data 90mins, calls 30mins, sms 10-20/day, screen on time 2-3hrs and at 9:00pm the battery is down to 15-18%.

I recently bought a used, but very good condition XT1922-9 . I had read beforehand that the battery is great in these.... unfortunately I'm not having the same result. Is there any recommendations for helping battery life on these? Would rooting help or a custom rom (if available on this phone)?

No. It all depends on usage. It has a big battery. What are you comparing it to? And if you're talking screen on time, that's the biggest battery hog no matter what device/battery you have

If I'm doing anything at all it dies fast. Heck it lost 13% while I slept.

13%? Uh, not major.
Try disabling apps you don't use.
I plug mine in at night. But ymmv

In my case:
I used to have LG X Power with a 4100mAh battery and when I charged the phone before bed, the phone stayed at 100% till morning, and in the morning I played 1 game of Golf Clash, which is about 7/8 minutes, the battery was still 100%.
I bought Moto G6 Play, with similar battery of 4000mAh, when I charge it before bed, I clear the list of used application (under the square button), and overnight t lost 4% of power just lying on the desk (with mobile data and WiFi off).
I was expecting similar results as with my previous LG, but unfortunately this phone disappointed me.
Any way to fix it? Maybe changing charger to Fast Charge, or even Regular Charge, instead of Turbo Charge that we have now, will fix it?
