Ebay 3500mah Battery Review - EVO 4G Accessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Extended-Battery-Cover-Back-Door-HTC-EVO-4G-/220748180343?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33659deb77
Okay I got this battery off of ebay for $10 but I think it's about $14 now. Any I got it in the mail yesterday charged it to full capacity last night with my sbc-kernel and used the Battery Calibration app to do its business when I reached a full 100%. All of this was finished around 9PM last night while I was watching the Heat v Celtics game. Then I decided to fool around and install DarkTremors A2SD which didnt work and took me a full 3 hours to fix. I turned my phone on at 12midnight with everything fixed and my phone was at 87%. I used the phone for another 30mins watching videos on my browser the battery ran down to 83%. I let my phone play music all night long in poweramp which was about 8-9 hours and woke up with 55%. I did my normal facebooking, about an hour of xda, engadget, news, worldstarhiphop, gmail and texting. After that I watched 2 hours of Anime and my phone is finally down to 7%. Basically, I tried everything to run down the hell of this battery to see if it was truly 3500mah.
With all that being said, I really recommend this battery. Remember the pics shows stats starting at 87% because the first 3hours was spent in recovery, adb, and rebooting.
Rom: CM7.0.2.1

Less than 4 hour battery life

I just got less than 4 hours of battery life. Is this normal even under intensive use?
For the first 1/4 of the time, I had the phone in my pocket. For the second 1/4, I was playing Symphony of Eternity, a simple 2D RPG that looks like an SNES game, and a bit of Greedy Spiders, another simple 2D game. By the time I was done (a little past half way through the graph) I was already at half charge.
I then disabled wifi and turned off my phone and put it back in my pocket. The battery use decreased, but only by a little. At the end of the graph, I got alarmed by how fast the battery was draining and rebooted my phone, and when I restarted, there was the abrupt jump down in battery.
Anything jump out as a red flag here? I took a look at the Android OS bug thread, and it sounds like that is what I ran into, but does this seem like short battery life even for the Android OS bug and the amount I used it?

[Q] Extended Battery Readings

I could have sworn I've seen a thread for this but I just can't seem to find it.
Tried my best to search so I apologize if this is a repost.
So I've been on the extended battery for over a week now and must have gone through about 10 charge cycles so far.
Few days ago, I noticed my battery was at 15% and I was nowhere near a charger. I had the phone off for about an hour because I needed the remaining juice at a later time. Once I turned the phone back on, I noticed the phone was back UP at 25% remaining without ever charging it.
Thought it was a one time fluke so I didn't care much for it.
Today, I had a screen protector come in and since it was a wet apply, I turned the phone off at around 25%, left it off for about an hour an a half for the product to dry a bit then turned the phone back on.
This is the battery reading below:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I remember correctly, the reading went back up to about 31% after turning it on. (Don't mind the gap in mobile data reception.. I was in a plane during that time).
I've calibrated this battery once on the first cycle so I'm not sure why this would happen. Is this a known issue?
Currently on stock, unrooted 4.0.2.

What's up with the battery?

What the hell is up with battery? It first charges at very fast rate usually 2-3% every 5 mins then slows down and when reaches around 70% it jumps to 100 % . it can retain its charge to max about 9-8 hours with minimal use and 2-3 hours with heavy use, I have tried clearing cache/battery status from recovery and different ROMs/kernel/radio all give same result

I had the same thing with the desire hd I had, basically lost the top 30% capacity I believe. Once I replaced the battery it was perfect again.

Poor battery life on the first day

Hello everyone, yesterday I picked up a brand new Galaxy s9 exynos version. At the very start, the battery gad around 42 procent, it lasted me about 2 hours till it went to 10 percent. Later I charged the phone to 75 percent, went out with friends, and after around 35 minutes, doing nothing in my pocket, it dropped 4 percent. After some heavy usage, I decided its time to do a full charge for the first time. I will post the screenshot down bellow. I've heard, that its just the first day, and it will get much better after around a week, although im a bit affraid, that the battery life wont improve. What do you all think?

You are meant to charge it as soon as you get it 100%. You need to calibrate your battery now and maybe do a factory reset.

Don't worry about factory reset, just drain the battery to 0 then charge back to 100 for the next few charge cycles

HTC 10 App system and battery

Dears, in the first of using my HTC 10 i was getting 4.5 to 6 hours SOT even over Oreo update, but within 2 months everything changes. i am hardly catching 2.5 or even 3 hours SOT for less 24 hours charge set.
i have tried to delete facebook, twitter, Instagram and snapchat; all social media apps have been deleted but still the same, even thought when i finish charging my phone and just disconnect the charger it will discharge 6% within 1-hour please find a screenshot from today. i start to feel frustrated i am using forcedoze by the way, it gives me incredible performance regarding to the battery after the first 6%, and there is alot of wakeups for maintenance during the night.
also when i connect my phone using Bluetooth to my car it discharge 10% per hour. so what is exactly is happening !!!
i have tried to do hard reset, wipe cache partition.
also the discharge rate when using the phone is too high, only by Android System and google service, it discharge 26% per hour, i have deleted the cache also the data for google play and service still nothing is fixed
still nothing change.
