Hi! how long your battery should work with the active use of mobile internet?
784784
I purchased new batteries (2 as they were so inexpensive & I plan to keep my phone for a while) after owning my phone for about 16-18 months. The original battery was lasting only half a day. I use my phone primarily for checking e-mails & some calls, very little online time. The new battery lasts all day or close to it with my usage. I would guess - as another reviewer posted - that you might get 4 hours of internet use. Buy a couple & switch them out. BTW... batteries losing the ability to stay charged is normal for any rechargeable battery, not just the HTC or other smart phones. Another option is buying the double size battery. Just a thought.

I had original battery nearly 2 yrs when I got new one. It was still working but required charging 1hr into active use. This new battery is half power after about 4hrs active internet and games. I should say that my particular phone is notorious for excessive power consumption.

I'm sorry I can't help you with that. I don't have the htc rezound anymore and I was having problems with it toward the end. The battery always seemed to be going down and I had to recharge it every day. But for me that was the phones fault, maybe your phone is better.

If you use it moderately, 1-2 hr talk time and 2-3 hr web surfing, it can surely last a day. For me, even if it is about 10% it can last whole night idle. But some times battery notification shows abrupt reading. e.g. it will be 40% and just after 2 min it may show 5%. You may require to restart it to display correct reading.

The battery is pretty decent at full charge. I think it is around 5000 mah. However if you want to stream stuff it is bad. The software is not good

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

A very long time. If you use it for about 3 to 4 hours a day to surf the net then you will only have to charge it once every few days. The battery life is really good.

I bought one of these here in March, and although I try to keep it plugged to mantain the battery between 40% and 80%, I have used it for 6+ hours for web browsing, some YouTubbing, some Google SketchUp and watching a 80 minute movie (there was a severe blackout that time), from less than full charge down to about 15%.

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

its totally dependent on if you enable Mobile Data and Wifi or not and how strong the signal is in your area. With Data and Wifi on you will have to charge once a day and I disable mobile data and Wifi at night before I go to bed so that it does not run down during the night. With Data and Wifi off when not needed, you easily get day and half to 2 days. If you really want to use intensively then get a backup battery and swap it or have a couple of spare Chargers for the car and office and home. there is only so much that any smartphone can do with a 1800mAh Battery. This is not a deal breaker for me as the phone is an excellent functional phone in an office environment especially editing mails and spreadsheets using the physical keyboard. If a similar phone was launched with 2gig Ram and a quad core processor and a bigger battery then it would be the ultimate office smartphone but the way things are going with smartphone design that might never happen. This is currently the best value Sim free smartphone with a 5 row physical keyboard

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.

A good way to test if there is something wrong may be to run it with "normal" use for a few charge cycles. For example: don't watch videos, have just one Gmail account active, limit web browsing, turn off Facebook and Twitter interval sync (huge drains in my experience), and answer calls and SMS messages as normal. If you get 30+ hours doing this, there is likely nothing wrong with the battery, suggesting your particular level of "exteme" use simply may be ill-advised when needing your phone to run for an entire day on one charge.

Depends on usage. If you are doing office work and web browsing, it should last more than 3 hours on a full charge.

It will depend of how you are using it, for normal use like internet browsing it last up to 6 hours, but for gaming or video I could experience 4 hours at full brightness. Overall the battery life it's very very good

Hi there! First sorry for my English. I'm from Venezuela. I did not ever use any Verizon network account. But I can tell you that the battery last for almost 12-16 hrs on full day use. Usually: BBM, Whatsapp, Facebook, web Browsing, full Gaming, talking, listening music and watching videos with no problems until the end of the day. I use just 3G network every time. Hope this help you!

When plugged into the keyboard - I've been successful using it for 5-6 hours (coast to coast flight) using standard office aps. When using it to stream internet content or play movies, 4 hrs.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

I can't answer the question. I only used it for a couple of weeks on vacation with no data plan, so battery life was good and I plugged it in every night. I suspect that if you want to use it in US with a data plan battery life will be shorter, but I have no idea how much.
