1800 maH battery from Mugen

Thought I'd share this, i felt this is very significant.
I recently got this in yesterday. Its hard to give a real review since us sprint hero users got a 1500, which a bump to 1800.. it's supposedly a 20% increase for us.
What I noticed is how the battery is now able to handle the drain from wireless tethering.
With the old battery, it got hot super fast when i used the phone for wireless tethering. Now its been about 15 mins, and the phone doesn't feel hot at all with the new battery.
I hope this helps anybody who is on the fence with getting the 1800 maH mugen battery.

Know where we could maybe get a good deal on that battery???

I got it from this site:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-sprint-hero-1800mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
in itself, its a pretty good price, i couldn't find it anywhere else cheaper.

So this battery doesn't require a new battery door?

After 5-7 days post back and let us know how significant the increase of battery life is in daily use. Thanks!

You're right, for under $35 it's not a bad price at all!! Does it fit in the stock battery door?

i ordered thhat battery a long time ago well at least it seems that way, checked tracking and i should be getting it tommorow, if you order it expect 10+days to receive it.......

i got mine in two days ago and the battery life seems worst than my stock battery. when i reset my phone it loses bout 10% just from the restart? right now the battery doesnt even last me a full day without recharging i hope after the 4 or 5 drain cycles it will get better. anyone else experiencing this? plus the battery voltage seems a bit high. i'm at 4.185V. can someone else with this battery confirm there voltage when fully charged?

How does this compare to what Seido offers?

Any one who owns gonna answer the battery door question???? lol. This might go on my christmas list.

no need for new battery door..
as far as the guy having drain problems, I dont have that problem.
I even have things turned on now that I didn't before like always on mobile, all the gps stuff...
it lasts all day.

I ordered one of these last night. By the time I woke up, I already had tracking info in my inbox. That's a plus.
I figure for $32 and change, it's not going to be the end of the world if it doesn't function better than my OEM battery.
BTW, use the coupon 5OFF2009 for 5% off. Not much but it's something.

yeah with only 20% difference, its so hard to tell if it is better than the old one.
They coulda gave me a 1500mah one, and i wouldnt be able to tell.

haha its funny you say that. i just got this in the mail yesterday, giong through its first power cycle.
go to the market and DL Smart Monitor. i dont think its calibrated correctly to see the true capacity of the battery, it says on 1500mah.

Anandtech preview, troubling battery life tests

Check it out. Doesn't seem to bode well for motorola's baseband. Hopefully they're quick to toss out a new radio. Cell standby has easily been my largest drain in the past few days.

Those two take up my top as well. Thats my point, simply idling eats up the battery worse than even on my thunderbolt.

How much will a new update to the radio do for the Bionic? Didn't the TB initially have terrible battery life because of its original radio software? Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks.

I have over 28 hrs on my bionic currently and still going. I'm at 30% as of right now. Phone has been off the charger since 0630 yesterday am. It is now 1422 on the 13th.

The thunderbolt has been through a ton of (leaked) radios. I think the consensus was that the OTA radio was a big help.

Also in the boat with standby and idle as the top battery consumers reaching 40%+ of the battery life depleters.

My Bionic goes for almost 24 hours between charges. So i don't care how much cell standby time it uses. it is getting DOUBLE what my thunderbolt does under the same usage.

idk
The battery life on my new bionic got better when/after.
I conditioned the battery! enormous difference from first couple charges.
Realized that, once again my phone cannot replace my TV, Laptop, blender and wasnt going to help my kids behave better. It is my phone.
I installed juice defender! Huge difference. really like the app
Like a watched pot never boiling. If you stop watching the battery meter go down it actually DOES stop going down. Amazing.

My battery life is mixed 3g/4g.

Battery lasts REALLY long at 1% battery life?

The other day I was trying to kill my battery, so I let a movie stream from Google Play until it died. It lasted TWO HOURS after the battery hit 1%. Yes, two hours of moving streaming on 1% of battery. See attached screenshot for proof (see the flat line at 1%).
Then, two days ago, I tested again. This time I just let it sit at 1% to see how long it would take to die. It took over 10 hours!! See other screenshot for proof.
Anybody else seeing anything similar? Clearly, when my battery says it is at 1%, it really has about 10-15% battery left.

Haha (not 'Haha I'm laughing at you, but, 'Haha it's funny how different people see things differently).
It seems pretty good to me. I never let my phone get down to 1%. I am going to have to resist the innate urge to charge (owning the GNex meant living next to an outlet).

Coming from the GNex its really difficult to not just plug in the X all the time. I have to keep stopping myself.

I'm on my first charge on the Moto X after switching from the GNex and I still have 80% after 12hrs use. This is insane! My Gnex would have died by now.

Yeah it's a pretty strong battery.
Also with the 1 percent lasting forever: It's not a bug, it's a reflection of the socio-economic set up of the united states, the 99% die fast, the 1% can pay to live!

Right now I'm at 65% with almost 2hrs of screen time 14hrs total. Not sure how good that is compared to a lot of other phones, but compared to the Gnex it is amazing. I forgot what it was like to not have my phone plugged in all day.

Same here. I have a plug sitting here and the Moto X next to it and it's so routine to just plug in the GNEX, I want to do the same with the X but I don't have to.

I dont think this is necessarily a bug, I think it takes time for the OS to learn the full scope of the battery - it is always just estimating the charge. I bet after 6 months of use that 1% glitch would go away and you would see more accurate battery reporting. My phone appears to gain %'s when i leave it be after heavy use.

Yep same here, phone went from 4% to 7% yesterday when I was trying to make it last. I had turned off Mobile data at 1% battery life yesterday and my phone was dead within 25-30 minutes of being on 1%. I think everyones phone/battery is calibrated differently. With moderate use I'm down to 25-30% left after about 8-9 hours of use. Coming from my S4 I'm so used to being able to Greenify things, I can only imagine what this phone would be like with Greenify.

Same problem

My phone is having this exact problem. I get about 10-12 hours battery life down to 1% battery, then it stays on 1% for at least 10-12 more hours. Does anyone know if there is going to be a fix released for this? It messes with my head not knowing when my phone is going to die, and I don't want to charge it if it's not dead. For instance, I'm on 2d 5h 14m on battery and it's been on 1% all day. It's pretty insane. Hope they roll out a fix. Glad to know i'm not the only one with this problem.

Next time this happens log your current and voltage readings using current widget so we can see what voltage the battery reads during this flat period at 1%. Then someone could plot the discharge curve in excel. May lead to clues. Perhaps problem with the fuel gauge or battery driver in the kernel. It all depends.

I seem to remember reading that the battery meter tunes itself over the first few charges, and that for the best accuracy you need to run it all the way down then charge it to 100%. 2-3 cycles of this is what was recommended. Can't speak to the validity of it but I know after running it down the first time and seeing the 1% last nearly 2 hours with heavy game use, on the second charge 1% meant 1%.

I'm on my second cycle of running it all the way down now, so we will see after the first 2-3 times if it calibrates itself. If not, i may be bringing my phone back, or ask verizon if they are going to be releasing a fix for it.

Really take it back for that?

I'm not trying to break any records, nor do I have any big battery saving techniques in use (other than the dark theme). This is normal usage in my opinion. The dash charging is great though.. definitely a huge help with this phone.
My mobile signal is usually anywhere between 1 to 4 bars indoors. I may remove one of the sim cards as I have no real reason to use it - I just wanted to see how it worked in all honesty.

Not a problem. I think that while the capacity could have been bigger (also reducing the camera bump), the dash charge feature helps bring some juice to the phone quite quickly. I'm disappointed though that you can only use OnePlus hardware for it (so far).

Doing well so far...

Agree with you on lower battery capacity and camera bump. But I think these shortcomings can be lived with.
Coming to the major disappointment its not just the oneplus hardware you will have to depend on for dash charging, we need the oneplus software too. They haven't released the libraries and source code for this. So custom roms will be missing this main feature.
Mt first day was disappointing with battery but now it's giving me approximately 1-2 days with 3+ hours SOT and regular usage

Stellar battery life when on a good connection.

Asus Battery Pack

We're is the battery pack that Asus showed off. No accessories are available anywhere.

I believe the battery pack comes together with the watch, but is not (yet) sold seperately.

Yeah it does not come with the battery pack, nor it was mentioned anywhere that it would.
I don't think Asus has launched the accessories yet not even alternate bands, so they all might be launched together. That said, thing charges pretty damn fast so unless you're always on the run, is the battery pack really that significant?

It charges from almost nil to 60% in about 10-15 mins, I think full charge to 100% takes about 30-40 mins.
I think its too soon to call how long it lasts because I have had mine for only 3 days. But it appears to me that 60% of charge should last for a moderate day use, which means 10-15 mins of charging for the entire day (morning to evening).

pretty much this.
I have been using my watch to play music at work for 3 nights now. and so far, I have gotten around 3 hours straight of music playback on the speaker, before I have to charge. so I play music until my lunch break for 4 hours, then charge it. and use for another 4 hours of music when I punch back in.

I don't have mine anymore but when I did, it mostly use to be at 50% by the time I reached home with normal use or at least 30-40% with heavy use. Give it 3-4 charge cycles at the very least!

Do you have all the sensors activated? wifi, fitness tracker, gestures and tilt to wake all take up battery because they are constantly running. I disable that because I do not need them but keep always on and ambient display on and get about two days worth.

Sorry for the late reply. I returned mine. Was able to grab the Huawei watch for almost half the price and after using it for few days didn't find much difference in performance from Asus. While the ZW3 is much better looking (imo), wasn't ready to spend double just for aesthetics.

I disconnected charger at 9 in the morning and went to office. Returned at evening 7, it was still 40% remaining. I am satisfied with the battery life. It would easily give me 24hrs battery. All time connected to bluetooth and Screen always on.

Pretty sure 16 hours is the definition of a days use considering 8 hours of sleep is a generally accepted standard even though none of us get that much. Bring the charge cable with you to work and spend the whopping 15 minutes to get another 10-12 hours use.
That all said I would still like the battery pack as well or at least somewhere to purchase another charging ring to leave at my office.
