The battery life sucks on this phone - dies after a few hours of non use - is there a high capacity battery this phone can use, like 2050 mAh?

Try turning off any wifi, Bluetooth, gps etc when they are not in use. You can also set your screen brightness lower than factory settings. Ive had the phone for about 6 months and ive had pretty good luck with it. I usually get a whole day full of using data and texting without having to recharge.

I bought the extended battery for this phone on Amazon. Its the same thickness and lasts 3 days. I also keep my data and wifi off until i need it

The Batteries are inside two size AAA and never to be replaced for a long time. It did take over night to charge up to use. I did not like this phone, the volume was very low at times and cut in and out. Would not recommend this phone....

I returned this battery. It never would hold a charge from the very first day I purchased it. I bought the Max Boost; it's more expensive but worth the money. The Max Boost has not given me any problems at all; I've already upgraded and keep it on my phone at all times. Sry I could not answer your question.

Nothing, as far as I can tell - the "newer" batteries do not last as long as the recharged "original" batteries do; and there is NO WARNING as to when they are drained - the phone just shuts off.

Yes absolutely, they will last 3 times as long in use. mah is mili-amp - hour. it means the amount of current available in 1 hour, if the phone needs only say 200 ma to operate, it will last 9 hours with a 1800 mah battery or 2.5 hours with a 500 mah battery

I got the replacement battery from Amazon, works alright, but have found that the batteries on this phone don't last much more than a day. Not sure if is a battery issue or phone issue.

Honestly I don't know but we have had ours for a few months now and its great like the phone battery lasts us on average 9 or 10 hours and then the battery gives you in addition about that many hours as well. Hope it helped!

An swer here..when i purchased the batterys i was looking for a good long lasting battery an not a legal battle over technical stuff. Also in your question you wrote with current tech only about 3600mah. Notice the word about! You may be correct but you may not have found all the facts yet either. But beside all the technical an nit picking things it is a good battery an has served its purpose for me so far.

Trust me I own this hotspot and the battery life sucks only 2 hours max, if you really want a good hotspot try buying the unlocked AT&T; unite or the AT&T; unite pro instead those can last up to 16 hours without the need of recharge

Cheapest way is to google the phone model and battery. You do know the battery is rechargeable, don't you?

2 hours max. After using one battery until the camera turned off, I took it home and charged it to max capacity and it was a little under 2 hours. You may want to contact the seller. If it is the same seller I used, they are excellent and will replace the dead cell. But first use a different outlet to see if you are getting 100% from your outlet. Just a suggestion.

No...because 5300mAh batteries do exist yet. 3600mAh is the maximum real rating, anything higher is lying to you. Get a known brand for real mAh ratings. I have compared Panasonic 3400mAh vs "5000mAh" batteries, Panasonic lasts about 6-7 times longer, showing the "5000mAh" batteries are really 500-600mAh.

I don't have this phone any more, but I do know that the battery is not easy to purchase in a US phone battery store. It is an "international" battery. Sorry, I can't be more specific.

1500 mAh. Fits in my DroidX. Same battery that came with the phone when I bought the phone brand new in 2010.

My original battery lasted about 4 years. But I'm not a heavy user of the phone. Even then it still worked it just wouldn't hold a charge more than about 8 hours.

Depends on the kind of user you are. I use my phone a lot less now so it last me all day easy. so i dont think i can give you an exact duration on the battery. its noticably better than my old one but its doesnt blow it away. The only thing i can give you to may be gauge yer purchase, My old batter after about 4 hours of use on pandora it would burn up to 45% of my battery life. On the new battery it eats up about 10-15 % of its life. I dont know if my old battery was just crap or wut. I dont play games or surf tha net all that much anymore so i cant really help you there.

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!
