2150 extended battery

Hey guys! I just thought that I would let you in on my experience with the 2150 mah extended battery by verizon. I am still in school and I get pretty terrible service throughout the building. time without signal ends up to be at 60 % I wake up at 6 get up take A shower... Unplugged by 7 play some games... Listen to music almost all day. Send 100 ish texts. when I get home at 225 its still at 75 % I get 2 days out of it with hard usage. I use ultimate juice and have 3g on all day.

I'm hoping that my 2150 will come to life in the next few days. As of yesterday with moderate usage I ended up plugging my phone in at about 10:30 and that was because the battery was at 27%. I unplugged it at 6am yest and played a couple of YouTube videos, made a few calls(the longest being 23mins), sent hundreds of text messages and a few emails. I didn't do any gaming and had wifi, gps turned off and the brightness at about 1/2 way. With these setting and usage, I should be able to get 2 days or atleast a day and a half of battery life. As of right now I unplugged my phone at 6:17am and made a 7min phone call and I'm sitting at 87%. I turned the screen brightness down to 0 to see if that help, but I shouldn't have to turn everything off and screen brightness to 0 from what I've read. If this batt doesnt improve in the next few days, I'm gonna go with a cheap 3500 from eBay.

Update: well, my 2150 is running much better after two charge/discharge cycles. I unplugged my phone today at 6:00am after bump charging it and as of 8:11pm its at 71%. Nice! That's leaving the screen brightness on at 50% and playing games for a total of 30mins plus a few phone calls and my normal texting throughout the day. I'm happy with the battery so far.

Thought I'd give an update on my vzm 2150 battery.
It's by far out lasting the stock battery and it seems to be getting better with every charge. Yesterday I made several phone calls, sent about 500 text messages, made several online purchases, played angry birds and a few other games for a total of one hour, browsed online for a while, streamed fm radio and Pandora for a total of 30 mins and have the screen brightness set to 50%. When I got home that night at 11:30 I was at 27% battery life left and that was unplugging my phone at 6:00 am. So far this batter is awesome.

Thanks for the info!
I've been pricing one out & may buy one this weekend.
Hey Fergusonfox7 in a day I blow through my Evo & 3 1300 mAh batteries, permission to post my results (don't want to thread jack)?

Just complain.... that's what I did! Got the extended for free!

I recently got this battery here's my experience
Firstly, I did get mine for free from verizon. Tip (tell the rep about how your phone dies quick then the phone's led blinks amber when you plug it in.) Secondly, I am running CM7 latest nightlies with the governor set to performance, overclocked, screen brightness is auto, wifi off 90% of the time, bluetooth and gps on 100%.
Here is my usage on a typical work day
I use pandora probably for at least 3 hours a day with bluetooth connected (keep in mind that I use the high quality music setting and turn off the auto screen lock so the screen is on that whole time. I will typically need to use gps for about 15-30 minutes. I'm not a txter at work so minimal txt usage, I will make 3 or 4 phone calls. I will also browse the web for about 30 minutes.
With this usage I get a solid 8 hours out of this battery so most of the time my phone is dying or dies on the car ride home. (I do have a charger but after a day of work sometimes it's nice to let my phone die) If I have a day full of appointments however I will have plenty of battery life left. I almost never put my phone on the charger until its dead and the first few cycles I really drained the battery to the point that it wouldn't turn on and would charge it all night powered off.
Overall I recommend it. I don't know how I lived without it. I hope this long winded reply is helpful to someone. Enjoy!

Another update on my vzm 2150. As of last week my battery started draining faster than normal and then started dying within 5-6 hours of minimal usage. So I called customer care and they noted my account and advised me to go back into the vzm store I purchased the battery from and ask for an exchange. I'm on my new battery now and it is lasting much longer than the defective 2150 I previously had in my phone.

On a typical work day, I usually get 12-16 hours with this extended battery - this is with music playback (winamp or stock music player) for 3-4 hours, browsing for about 3-4 hours, texting all day, 2-3 phone calls, autosync exchange + 2 gmail accounts.
On weekends, I turn off autosync, I can get by 2 days with the same usage.

I have no answers but I think apps are a real problem with the battery. I have the 2150 and I've had days that it died before the end of a single day and then I've also went three days before needing to plug it in. My usage is pretty consistent so a rogue app (widget) is my best guess. I've had good results since killing the WeatherBug Widget.

A little off topic, How much thicker is the battery cover than the stock battey cover? I am looking into getting this myself but I dont want to give up my protective case.

Its about double the thickness where the first "bump" of the stock back cover raises up. I used my 2150 for about a week before giving it to my wife. I really liked the performance of the 2150, but I could not get used to the extra thickness or the look of the phone. I am going to be getting the htc 1500 batt and use the stocker as a backup.

Loving this thing so far. Extra bulkiness took a little time to get used to, but other than that the performance is great. Don't even need to use my car charger anymore, which crapped out on me anyway.

i have a 1750 extended battery in mine and most days i can make it thru work on a light load, but i have a cord that i just leave at work so i leave it plugged in all the time. im looking to going back to stock though cause of some recent over heat issues.

I know it sounds crazy, but I do like the extra bulkiness. It's easier for me to hold onto it and just feels better in my hand. It doesn't weigh down my shorts and doesn't feel too heavy.
The only thing I don't like is how ugly the back looks (really not that bad), but it's easily fixed with a snazzy case from here:
http://htcpedia.com/news/case-cover-htc-droid-incredible-extended-batteryc.html
I'd suggest other places but that's the only store I've seen that sells cases that'll fit the OEM 2150 battery.

Wow, just saw someone's phone with the 2150 in it and the extra bulkyness is a deal breaker for me. I heard the 1750 fits pretty close to stock, and I have a jelly case around it, so I probably wouldn't notice some of the reports of gaps in the case; BUT I haven't heard any real great gains from the 1750. I might just pick up a cheap one from amazon, and if it doesn't work so great I'll only be out a couple bucks.
I wish there was as much focus on creating a battery that would last a week, as there is on making the next processor.

I love the bulykness......

Well, went back to my 2150 and I love how I'm not stuck to a charger for the day. I hated the feeling of,"oh no! Where is there an outlet so I can plug my phone in?!!!!" The performance is worth the added bulk.

Is this normal on LG Optimus 2X aka Speed?

Hi all,
With lot of enthusiasm i bought this phone last saturday but now very disappointed ....
I had most of the android phones since G1 era but never looked back.....
This phone is disappointing me with just 6 hours of battery life even with moderate use.....
Tried all custom roms but no use.....
My question is that do u also have this battery problem and its common or do u think i have a diffective phone ?

I used my phone today for twitter, emails, few calls, whatsapp. From 7.00 am till now 11.03 pm (23:09) i have still 43%. But it is for smartphones normal to charge every day. Not the forget: my screen is on max. brightness.

In my case the phone lasted outstanding 3.5 hours the first time I charged it.
After that it is much better. One day I finished charging the phone around 10:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening had 30% battery left. During that time I took 40 photos with it, did some internet browsing, few messages, played some games, also used GPS for a while, so the battery should last 12+ hours of normal usage.

I am getting my phone today and Ill keep that in mind. Thank you!

Just for the record, it can last for a LOONG time if you let it.
I forgot my charger when i went on easter holiday, shut off all data transferrs etc (since i was in a different country anyways) and only 2G network.
Phone lasted for 4 days before i could charge it, and it still had 30% left.

I've heard the first few battery cycles aren't too good but get better, I was a very heavy user when i initially got it so i can't comment

hahaha mine lasts for 2 weeks but was closed
U ever touch this phone

It would obviously last for days if your hardly touch it
All I want is for it to last one entire day (about 15 hours?) on heavy usuage (surfing, texting, social networking). I hardly play games nor use the music player (have an mp3 player for that )
The iPhone 4 was perfect for me in this aspect. The battery lasted 1 full day no matter how heavily I used the device. No, I am not a fanboy but I just like how well iOS manages power.
After the iPhone 4, I had the Dell Streak and with Juice Defender installed, it was pretty decent too. I dont know why I am here in the first place. I still havent gotten my 2X yet. Its supposed to arrive in a few hours. Ill try it out and let you guys know how well it performs.
Cheers.

You should disable "Auto-sync", disable "Automatic brightness". And what ever apps you install, dont let it auto-sync or auto-update, then you should be good. Now, it dont even drain my battery that much even thought the dataplan was on most of the time.

if i disable all and off all the apps, then y do i need this phone??

and yesterday night (12 AM to 8 AM), my battery was down by 50 % in idle
as suggested by other friends lets see until this weekend if i can see any improvement on battery front.....

If you battery goes down 50% in idle overnight then obviously you have some sort of application running rogue and preventing the phone to actually go to its sleep state. Which would also explain the heavy battery drain during daytime use.
Mine use 2-3% at the most in idle overnight - and I have no troubles whatsoever to get a full days heavy use - usually I get 2 days with moderate use. I also have an Iphone4 and my LG have better batterylife than my Iphone4, my LG also has better batterylife than my HTC Desire.
I also bought an O2x for my 17year old son - who is a very heavy user, music and videoplayback, games and constantly texting - his phone also lasts a full day with no troubles.

I rooted my standard LG O2X, then i removed the crap that LG brought on default..
(Twitter/Myspace/Facebook for LG, LG Home, LG AppAdvisor, FSecure Scanner etc etc)
Now my battery life is without further mods about 30-40 hours with calling, texting and some browsing (wifi enabled)

If you ask 1000 persons how long the battery life of their lg ox2 is you will get at least 500 answers
I can say at beginning i was shocked, but after some days the battery life gets better. Atm after 4 weeks i can say my battery lasts at least one day, depends on the degree of usage...
By the app "Ultimate Juice Defender" you can increase the battery life by factor 1.5. (sometimes i can use it for 2-3 days without charging)
Remember : If you drive a Ferrari you have to refuel a lot
No smartphone differs much from that...

Correct - and you may have some luck seeing if Watchdog can pick it up. Otherwise, charge your phone, and turn it off, then turn it on, and unplug it just before you go to bed. In the morning, you can check what application used most of the battery.

Mine uses about 1% per hour at night with JuiceDefender. Before I installed JuiceDefender the battery would go from 30% to dead overnight, preventing my alarm from going off.
JuiceDefender lets me get through the day. More specifically if you let JuiceDefender disable the data connection when the screen is off. You'll still get Whatsapp messages / emails etc if you let it sync every 15 minutes or so, without excessive battery drain.
Web browsing is also a super battery killer, I swear the battery goes down 1% per minute while browsing.

I have used many android phones and never used this juice defender..... actually i hate stop using apps for battery.... android is made out of apps....
Currently i have taken out my SE Arc and using it which is giving me 1.5 days of battery with heavy usage.... i will reset the LG phone this weekend and see, if not i would have to sell this hog......

For me there were a few apps that were stealing my battery away. Like IM+, Skype, etc. You could see that in the secret menu "how much time has this app kept the phone from sleepin".
If I turn on flight mode (no more connection) it doesnt even care when it lays there for two nights. I lost about 5% in two days without plugging it in AT ALL.
But that's not the POINT of this phone. You don't have it so you turn off everything and spoil your fun.
THE POINT IS *smashes desk* TO HAVE THOSE APPS.
If I couldn't be IM'ed all day where would the point of the phone go? For me... away.
I have had it for like 3 weeks now. When I have those things on in the background, it doesnt even last like 9 hours. It just runs flat without me even using it a lot.
Once it went so far out it died in like 3 hours WITHOUT ME USING IT. It started to run hot without any reason and draining the battery like I attached a freaking laptop with a dedicated Nvidia CPU to it. It drained the battery faster as if I was using it! I haven't yet found out what causes this. Sometimes it does it and runs empty on it.
Oh well D:

Cell standby and phone idle eating 80a of my battery

So with my Droid x I could look at my battery usage and routinely see that powering the screen took between 80%-92% daily of my battery life. Big screen...made sense. 30% larger extended battery would last me 10 hours with moderate use
With the bionic, according to my battery usage. Cell standby takes 40% of my battery and phones idle takes 37%. Display only uses 6%. What the hell? So that's why my 2880mAh battery only lasts me 5 hours, with little to no usage for 4 of them. If i turn on wifi, the 3g icon stays (turned off 4g altogether since I only use data at work and it out of 4g range). And I will see it actively syncing many times even when I am doing nothing. Going into airplane more and back live again just makes it pause, starts syncing again immediately. Reboot and its fine for 3 hours then starts again.
What the hell? Do I have a dud? Should I do a wipe of the device a few times and hope it is a software glitch? Cause this is pissing me off that a brick extended battery won't even last me six hours. And I'm barely using it for 4 to 5 of them. Should I return it and exchange for another? Or return it and just get an incredible HD when they launch? Though that will probably have equally bad battery life. I am rooted and everything is backed up so a wipe won't take long to restore.
Also has been doing this since I got it 4 days ago. Have fully drained and fully charged the battery numerous time with no real change.

Well first of all the display on the Bionic is RGBW pentile which uses much less power than traditional RGB LCD's. So it makes sense that as the percentage of power consumed by the battery decreases the other things like cell standby and phone idle would increase. It has to total 100%.
That said if you only get 5 hours on an extended battery with light use then your phone is defective or possibly a third-party app you installed is misbehaving.
I am at nearly 15 hours with 40% left on a standard battery with 4G on and 1.5 hours of screen on. All I did was root and de-bloat (around 30 apps).

I have the extended battery and get about 12 hours of heavy video and streaming audio, web browsing, maps, E-Mail, texts & calls. This is split about 50/50 4G & WiFi. I have no idea how you're only getting 5 hours. That almost seams impossible to me. Like the above post says, maybe you have an app that isn't shutting down? I am not sure but something is DEFINITELY not normal

But if it was an app behaving badly shouldn't it show up on the battery usage log thing? I'm gonna wipe when my shift ends at 8 am and see how it lasts today with only Go SMS installed. If it is dead in a few hours again I know for sure its the phone or battery. If it lasts then I get to start the painful proccess of adding apps back one at a time until I find the culprit.
Thanks for the advice. 5 hours seems impossible to me too, but that is all it lasts. Freaking me out that it is eating so much. Maybe ill try the stock battery later. Maybe its just the battery that is FUBAR'd

You ran the Blockbuster app, didn't you?

I've read an article or two speculating about the possibility of a batch of Bionics with bad radios that chew up battery. Everyone I've read about that returned their Bionic for this reason has experienced a reversal in their battery experience. Sounds like you should do this as well.
Like the others, mine is like the energizer bunny until I start messing with games and streaming video.

Those with "bad" radios will obviously have a bad radio if their battery life is crap correct? My Bionic seems to do ok with battery life, but I still can't manage to get what all these other users are getting with the stock battery.
Maybe I'm a heavy user that's in denial of being a "light" user...

My battery life with the extended battery is amazing.

I am having the same problem. I am going to give them a call on Monday.

Fixed it. Ran the bootstrap app to get into clockwork. Did a factory reset a few times over to make sure it was all clear. Loaded only the bare apps I needed onto phone and battery went from 7am Sunday morning til 10pm and only lost 50%. XD so it was definitely an app playing badly.
I put almost all my 180 some odd apps back on with titanium. But any that do any kind of syncing I downloaded freshly and didn't transfer any data, started brand new there too. So far today unplugged phone at 2am at work, its almost ten now and its only fallen to 50%. Granted I have far more stuff installed now and wwas using it a bit at work. Not too bad. Want to see how much longer it will go

How long should the standard battery last with average use?
I unplugged at 6AM with full charge. Ran only 3G until 10:30am and was at 50%. My usage was nominal- few texts, no phone, few emails, about 10 minutes of internet, 30 minutes of Sirius.
At 10:30am I switched to 4G just to test the battery life. The phone mostly sat idle, but the remaining 50% drained in about 1.5 hours.
Does 4G really use that much power... even when the device is sitting idle? If so, then what's the point of making such great 4G devices if the batteries can't keep up?

Were you getting that battery life from day 1? Today is day 4 with my Bionic. People say it can take up to a week for your phone/battery to calibrate, but I've never had to calibrate the battery on other phones.

can't say for sure but I know my battery was lasting a hell of a lot longer than 5-6 hours from day 1

I have the extended battery. I get great battery life when playing games, streaming video, listening to pandora, web surfing and phone calls. I am in a 3g area only. But when it comes to just idle time it seems like its using almost twice the amount of battery life as my droid x did. My droid x with the extended battery would drop 10 to 20% while idle from 11:30 pm to 7:30am. My bionic last night, I went to bed at 11:30pm and had 80% with extended battery, I woke up at 7:30am and was at 40%???
Does that sound right?? Also when using wifi the battery drops faster, should it use more battery on wifi or 3g? I have never used any bloatware and have the same apps installed as my droid x.

I'm having the same problem with my phone. 5.5 hours of battery with little to no use. i have to keep my phone on a charger throughout the day.... a power charger. the phone will die if just connected via usb.

Have you guys calibrated the new battery? There is also a neat little calibration trick in the x2 forums, works like a charm.
Google "juhde battery" and it should show up. Can't recommend it enough...

Can you please post your battery usage statistics for Voice calls and Cell standby?
I'm interested to see where I stand also..
Thanks,

extended battery is a must

verizon has for 50% off so is $25 including back cover had a extended batter for droid 1 makes battery issue go away can use alot more without recharge

Up to 20 hours normal use til completely dead battery , on standard battery.
I'm fine.

wow
wish i got on 4g or 3g all day?
stock rom ?
just curious i am lucky to get 8 hour shift and down to 30 %
on 4g and custom rom also

Unleashed, unl3ashed. how ever you spell it. 1.4
Normal use for me tho, is the phone sitting idle in my pocket a lot cause of class and what not.
I'll send out probably between 100-200 texts, talk for 10-15 total minutes, maybe do a web search or two.
Battery profile set to turn data off after 15 minutes of inactivity, background data off. Screen brightness all the way down.
Like I said before in another thread, you could turn CPU scaling to ondemand and that, from my experience, saves a little juice, but has random restarts. You could also try leaving it on the stock mot_hotplug, and turn the max freq down and see if that helps.
I'm on 4g half the day, 3g the other half (when the radio is on of coarse).
Gotta recalibrate the battery too if you haven't done that. I've done both the app, and the manual way in CWM, both work fine, per long as you do it with the phone at 100% plugged in, and let it completely die before you charge it again.

What do you mean recalibrate the battery? I didn't think I had to do anything with it???

under battery on market will see battery calibrate

gotta be rooted, thats the fine print per say.
If you can't calibrate it yourself, best to just let the thing die, charge it to 100%, and let it die again.

Still, if that's still what they're going for at Verizon, it's really hard to beat that price-point. I got one and I love it. Over 24 hours on stock with my usage.

Where are you seeing it for half off?

I just bought the extended Battery today (without my Corp Discount) and it was in fact 50% off because of a promotion that they are running. Not a bad buy for 25 bux!
Now to test and see how much life i can get out of it

Only a couple hours....

**Just an update** 16 hours and 30 min so far with 40% still remaining. Definitely not bad at all and so much better then stock battery. (Was getting Max of 10%/hr with stock) **moderate use including a couple You-tube vids, checking corp mail and gmail, browsing the web, texting, and reading XDA!

Have to have the extended battery. half off doesn't hurt either.

i dont know how you guys get 20 hours on standard battery? do you mean to have 20hours of ideal time?

I picked up the extended battery at launch and love it. I was planning on running the regular battery on the weekends but find I like the feel of the extended case in my hand. With the original for some reason it feels like the phone is going to slip out of my fingers.

What has your battery life been like so far?

I just got the phone yesterday. I've been using it VERY heavily, and I havent been cycling it properly.
But I just got 4.5 hours of pretty heavy use out of it. That's nothing close to what it should be. But it was constant 4G use almost the whole time.
I'm trying to cycle it properly now. but I cant stop running around long enough to get a full charge on it. (once so far).

Use the SmartActions App. It has a battery Extender that works very well.
I have it along side Juice Defender. I Constantly stay under 4G LTE, and I have wifi on. I could probably let a video loop for 7 hours before it died.
This is after two-three days of cycling and training juice defender.

I despise battery chatter, but I have to say that I have been using this thing hard setting up my apps downloading off the cloud and surfing the net. 10+ hours on a single charge. Not many voice calls, but lots of screen on time and data.
Your mileage will vary.

Its about on par with a galaxy nexus with ics

I'm lucky if I get 7 hours of moderate use, with the smart actions. I think I might have to exchange it and get a new one and try to cycle the battery better the first few times. I was not kind to it on the first day.
I also work in a place with minimal 4g coverage. So it's struggling the whole. time
Suggestions, before I replace it? (with another)

I'm a pretty heavy user. Bluetooth in ear streaming music while i ride my bike to work, lots of news widgets updating between 20 and 45 minutes each, constant emails and social networking, and a few bt calls. The phones battery lasts me 4 to 6 hours, depending on number of calls. Luckily i have one of those battery pack things.

Sounds very similar to my own usage. I've avoided using bluetooth so far, and I try to download music before i leave. It gives me a bunch of extra time. And I've got the battery pack, but it wont give me much.
But I've managed to cycle my phone twice today. That's not okay.
I cant wait for root so I can wipe the battery stats and try again.

Wiping battery stats does nothing for battery life. Its just stats!

I think there might have been a quality check error on the Atrix HD batteries that shipped out.
Everyone I know gets different battery stats.
I know I'm getting excellent battery life. I can watch movies, surf the web, and play games... leave it off the charger and I'll still have 40% for the next day.
It took a day or two. The first two days I let it die before charging. Juice Defender takes a good day to figure out your phone, but it plays nice with Smart Actions.
Also, some gameloft games do not play nice with the phone stand by and sleep states. Gun Bros would send notifications and run in the background and drained my battery on my MAHD.
