Second picture from the right. Makes the Evo look like a jet ski...or pregnant. I'm not sure which.

Looks aerodynamic. Someone throw it and see if it flies

Never know your 3vo may WANT to do some water skiing.

I hate not being able to do screenshots without all that adb ish.

Anyway right now i've been off the charger for 6h 14m 57s and my battery is at 90%. Now ill be the first to say that I havent used the phone a whole lot being that im at work. About a 10 minute phone calls, 10-15 texts on the GV app, 4 regular texts. Using the juice plotter thing on custom with gmail, issimo, gtalk, facebook and weatherbug plus being able to sync with the screen off.

Even though I havent used it much there is NO way my Evo 4G would've still had anywhere near this much battery left even using one of the SBC kernels. If this thing ever gets S-Off with AOSP roms the battery is going to be crazy. I have no doubt that at the rate im going i'd make it a whole day easily. And its crazy because i'm never the one to make the outrageous battery claims.

So following up.. since I finally rooted the phone here's a screencap of my battery life so far today. Almost 5 hours and im still on 100%.

i woke up to find my battery at 56% from 100 after only 7hrs off charge. Display eating 60%. What's weird was that the phone was sleep during those 7 hours.

Another half inch further out and it'll have that missing kickstand we were all complaining about.

Still, I'd have no problem buying that extended battery if there was a case for it. I'm just concerned about the cover surrounding the camera lenses, and whether or not it'll affect the lighting with shadows, or make the images slightly dimmer.

Oh snap! *runs to website


Edit: Got mine! I can't resist these things!

I wonder if that bezel will naturally improve the speaker volume, by reverbing against it.

 

[EarlyMon]

Looks like it would provide horn loading, so I'd expect some volume increase.

Looks like the Droid X on steroids lol

That's always good news to know... Now if they made a hard case for it, I'll be set. I'm not digging leather or silicone cases, so something specific to this extended battery would be ideal.

They are making one to go on top of the extended battery, plus you can buy a rubberesque part to go on top of that that comes with another hard skeleton type part that goes on top of that and then you can put this whole giant thing into a belt clip type thing that they sell. They don't mess around, I had the whole thing for the 4G.

I'd rather do without the belt clip, but I would love a kickstand to come built in to the skeleton case surrounding it.

I would like that too but they said they don't have plans to do that at this time

You can buy it without the belt clip I think.

The irony here is that the DX, save for the camera tumor, is thinner than the 3vo, stock.

This is true, but you gotta shove the WiMax chip and parallax barrier somewhere!

What were your settings prior to root? I'd be absolutely ecstatic with your battery life...

Same here. How did you get such good battery life?

 

[NeoteriX]

Just sayin' that's not 100%, and it does look like the phone was pretty much idling the whole time -- very little blue beneath the graph... but still decent.

They cheated. They put all the fat parts under the "camera tumor!"

Got mine this afternoon! Haven't put it in yet cause you'd supposed to charge for like 8 hours first, so I'll put it in and plug it in when I get off work tonight.



Also FYI I've noticed I'm not really getting the quick 10% dropoff that we got on the 4G. It's kinda nice imo.

 

[Chancho1978]

Can someone please tell me how to check what has been eating my battery. I know on the evo 4g there was a place in the settings to see what apps or programs are using the battery and how much they are using. much thanks.

go to settings, gt about phone, gt battery, gt battery use
