Title says it, my G1 battery is at the end of its life. I tried my cousins battery in my phone and it works fine so I'm sure its the battery.
I was looking at this one
http://www.buy.com/prod/2200mah-li-...s/q/listingid/73345430/loc/111/210924168.html
Is it any good, or are there better options?
Personally I went with a seidio 2600mah. With all the mods, apps, widgets these days. Its always nice to have a little more. But yeah 2600mah. You can go easy a couple days with heavy usage without having to recharge. Just search seidio on google.
Hope this helped a bit

Hi, I'm about to sell my note 2 to buy an xperia Z... the phone looks fantastic, but pretty much all but one review I have read have said the battery life is appalling. Is that true? What are your thoughts on it????
Please help.
Don't worry!
It's okay!
If you not playing games or use screen on a long time.

Battery life is really dependent on how you use the phone. For me, I don't have problems hitting 1 full day of usage without recharge.
And I don't trust reviews on battery life, because it will get better after a few weeks of use (that's how it is on my previous Xperia phones). The reviewers only use the phone for a couple of days.
That said, the Note 2 comes with a 3100 mAh battery, while the Xperia Z battery is only 2330 mAh. So be prepared that it might not last longer than the Note 2.

Thanks for the input mate. I know the N2 has a huge battery and was impressed with the battery life. But the phone is just too big for me. It lasted 4-5 months before I got fed up with the size.
I do listen to music a lot 1-2 per day, and browse the web on and off during that time.
I'm hoping to get a day out of it.

Hello,
I'm considering to buy an HTC one , but the reviews on youtube on the battery life are holding me back, but I know there are custom kernels.
Can you guys tell me how good are your batteries and the kernel you use ?
Much appreciation.
It's all use cases.
If I only need to use mine for the phone then it can last days. If I use it with WiFi and a ton of screen time it can last 18 hours. Super heavy use would be less, but I'd have it plugged in anyway. I custom kernel and use macros like a mofo to keep it all in check. It's fine. I can burn through any phone!
I use elementalx, personally. Love it.

HTC One's battery isn't that bad mate, I had an HTC One X before and that phone had a really bad battery, couldn't hold a charge for a day with the tegra 3 chip. I charge my HTC One once a day (before going to bed) and usually there still around 40% battery left for a normal day of usage. It all depend the usage you will do. If you want to play games for hours then yes you'll have to charge the phone more than once a day.
My battery(phone) is 1 year old and I'm using stock dev edition rom/stock kernel with power saver mode when not playing games.
Custom kernel will allow you to save more battery by undervolting/underclocking the cpu. You can also use Tasker to create power saver profile if you need to save more battery.
yea I guess I'll go for the one, because the z1 and lg g2 both have 3000mAH batteries, but I like the design and the overall feel of the htc one.
more opinions are also appreciated
I am amazed at the battery life on this ROM. Unbelievable so far. Here's my screens and I'm a power user, and the drop off was when I flashed a custom ROM.
Screens below
And let's see yours!!
Battery life is amazing with stock but there are also quite annoying thing that might make the user want to get rid of this phone.
My mom has this phone and her phone has been off the charger for about 5 hours. She talked on the phone for maybe five minutes but it's been on standby for the rest of the time, and it's still at 100%.
I'm convinced man. This phone is great.
It really is. I'm TRYING to run it dead quick. Been on it hardcore today and after 14 hours its still at 42%. Crazy as ****.
I ordered this device yesterday but I worried about battery life, in reviews spoken the battery life was bad.
I dont have the device yet.
In the future the battery life was improvement on system updates?

I have to say I find the battery life to be outstanding if you are using the chinese rom. If using the global one it is really poor. There is another thread on here about battery life. Have a look at that
How much SOT on chinese rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/discussion-xiami-mi-5-battery-life-t3338693
I look that but I Asks you.
Chinese rom was better than global on performance and camera?

In my opinion the chiense rom is much better although there are obviously some chinese apps there too
I'm reviewing the phone at the moment, my results on GeekBench 06:30:30 for runtime and a score of 3905 with the screen on maximum brightness. I've used the phone with dual-SIM and single-SIM and not struggled with it at all. MIUI 6.3.31 and it's the 64/3GB model. Hope that's of some help!
Battery life is usually good. SOT around 5 hrs for me and I usually play games.
However stand by is really odd one both the roms. Sometimes overnight it consumes 1%-3% sometime s 20%-25%, I still can't figure out why.
25% in night?? why?

Never seen that with mine. While at work during the day I only use it for the odd call and some texts along with a small amount of browsing. With the chinese rom I would have 85% charge left when I get home but with the global rom doing the same I would have about 65% left so clearly it wasnt going to sleep properly. Maybe thats what you are seeing

No, I haven't updated my signature from so long.
I have used nexus 5, galaxy s6(lost), lg g4 and oneplus 2 after Lg g2. For me galaxy s6 was the best device I have ever used.
Mi5 has a mediocre camera nothing exceptional about it xiaomi is creating hype about 4-axis and things however in reality it can't capture full hd video smoothly.
For sure Mi5 has better sound and battery and chipset but software wise I think any other phone out is better than this MIUI crap.
and believe me MIUI can never get fixed until and unless they changed their framework completely. As of now MIUI 7 is based on MM but it doesn't have a single feature of MM so what is the use of such OS. MIUI is for users who just want to keep applying themes and do nothing else.
I am never going to buy xiaomi again.
Hoping I get my hands on an AOSP or CM ROM soon or else I have to sell this ****.

I really don't know what is wrong but I experience the same on both the ROM's, yesterday I got 7.2.12 and after that it consumed only 3 % overnight even with alarm on.
Also, I have one more strange bug whenever I start playing coc my wifi gets disconnected and it gets disconnected randomly too, are you facing any such thing like this.
You have the wakelock qpnp_fg_memaccess that is draining battery. Check with wackelock detector..
Same happened to me one night from 40% to 6% in 6 hours..
This happened because Qualcomm introduced a new feature called Fuel Gauge that is managing the battery and is not working really like it should..
Strange.. I used my phone heavily(not gaming of course) and hardly to hit 70% in 8 hours during day time.

So what does one do about it? its my first day on mi5, i cant say that battery is bad.. its almost same as on a Sony Z5P.
My Mi5 is doing great on the battery... I use it at work i use it at home... during the night it drain around 5% max. Normally i can say it can last 1,5 days...
Using China Stable 7.3.3 With some battery usage tweaks..
Using CM13 I go all day without recharging from 7am to 7pm

MI5 is one of the crazy device ever! Once you receive the phone you will be keep busy with experiment. Some people will tell battery life is outstanding and some like me will say battery life is poor.
My impression about MI5 is, usually after buying a phone we try to use it hassle free. But MI5 will create lots of confusion and make you trend to experiment lots of things until you get the perfection.
Currently the global ROM is most worst ever ROM and it will make you frustrated. Some people will tell China ROM is better but eventually until unless you are Chinese, you will never like chinese things!
Just now flashed CM13 and looks impressive!
The way you charge helps with endurance as well
Try getting into the habit of not letting your battery level drop below 15%. Charge it from there to 100%. Was a big item on xda some months ago about expanding the quality of a modern smartphones battery.
