My wife has the D415 and the battery drains quite fast and the phone overheats. I also have a D415, but my battery life is fine. Would it be ok for us to just switch batteries, seeing as I don't really use mine? Thanks!

Ive always had crappy battery life with my milestone, and i always tpught it was the phones fault, but recently my cousin bought herself a milestone and i swapped batteries with her one day i ran out of charge and my battery life drastically improved, could it be because i started using the phone right out of the box and didnt do a full charge? or maybe i just got a faulty battery?
Usually, the charging cycle on new li-ion batteries is pretty smart, so it shouldn't really matter how you're loading..
Are you using any custom ROMs because some of them got some buggy modules so the phone doesn't enter deep sleep mode properly...
This was the case for me a while ago
Just bought a 3500 mAh battery off of ebay. I was wondering do i need to condition this battery? If so what are the steps? I see conflicting info all over the place.
thanks!
Conditioning? Like calibrating?
Some batteries said to drain it completely first then charge for 8 full hours to condition it. That's why i was wondering if there was anything i needed to do to get the maximum amount of battery life out of it.
That's a great question. Usually I let it drain fully, then fully recharge. It's just an old habit of mine with new batteries.
usually when you get a new battery itll have some charge in it you need to power the device on let it drain completely till it wont turn on at all then let the battery charge 8-10hrs and you should be good.
I recently bought one of the eCell Gold 4500mah extended batteries from Amazon. When I looked this morning they were no longer in stock. It is an extended battery that uses the stock battery door. Just barely. It is a very tight fit. But I had my doubts as to it really being 4500mah. I just finished my 3rd charge cycle on it and I must say that I am impressed with the results so far. The majority of the screen on time was using FBReader to read a book. I also did some gaming, interenet browsing, texting, and made a few phone calls. I don't know how long it will hold up. I will report that after a month of use.
Does NFC work?

Is the battery physically larger than the stock one? If it isn't I doubt it's 4500mah...as many "gold" batteries claim much more life but use the same size.
Could you post pictures of this battery side by side with the stock one?
Do you have a link to where we can get one?

I don't think you should trust that "Battery Management" app to actually give you the capacity for the battery you use. In that app, you actually type in 4500 mAh for what you think the capacity is and then the app just estimates drainage around that number. It's not reliable to measure the mAh for a battery this way.
From looking at your Android battery usage breakdown, it doesn't look any different than what a stock battery would do. Your on screen time looks particularly low for a 4500 mAh battery should provide and looks in line with the battery stats in the battery stats thread where people use stock 3100 mAh batteries.
Don't know about NFC as I don't use it. Physically it is slightly larger than the stock battery. I don't know where you could get them now. I got mine from amazon. As far as the capacity, I doubt it is much better than stock but for me it is getting about the same or a little better on screen time as my stock battery did. Maybe the stock battery I got wasn't that good but I couldn't get 8 hours of screen on time from it. The eCell was only $20 so that is not a bad price. For a gold battery the performance is pretty decent.
Hi everybody,
I had a problem with my original battery. It dried every day in about 10h of usage. It was horrible, so I bought 3500 mAh battery from ebay and it was OK. I didn't had to charge my battery for about 2 days. Really impressed if I compare this battery and original, but problem was, battery from 3500 mAh was really big and made my phone look ugly, so I bought new battery. I've bough new Onyx battery with 1400 mAh and battery drains in less than 10h. I used my phone for about 2-3h and battery was on 4%. I haven't played games or downloading anything. Just chating. Does anyone know what's wrong? Is that normal for onyx battery or can I do something to improve battery life?

you can buy an original battery for your optimus 2x =)
Hello everybody I'm curious about the performance of the LG v40 in terms of How It's processor performs and the length of time the phone can be off the charger before it has to be recharged.

It's going to be a while before you get enough people to give all the different usages to get a decent baseline.
But so far, it's significantly out performing my old V20 and after 10 hours of use still has 40+% battery use. That usage would've depleted nearly two V20 batteries.
I was scared to go with a phone that didn't have a replacement battery option ... alas, that ship has sailed, but if this processor performs this well and leaves that much juice after a full day ... I think I'll do just fine. (I'll still use car charger, but now keep a portable charger in my briefcase too.)
