I got my Seidio super-extended battery in the mail a few days ago. The fit and finish is great, I'm having one issue though.
My reported battery life is terrible, it seems worse, or at best, the same as my standard.
Last night at 9:45ish I noticed my battery was at 5% had been up and unplugged since 7:30 yesterday morning. Which isn't bad at all, but it's terrible for a 3500mAh battery. I'm only on 3G, no LTE coverage around here, so I keep it turned off. So I decided, I'll just kill it, play with my phone hard until it shuts itself off to prevent damage to the battery. Well somewhere around midnight, I gave up, that's around two hours on supposedly 5% battery life, and it was still reporting 5% when I got done. I had my phone tethered to my Xoom, was streaming Pandora, and was switching off between 3 or 4 games constantly, with screen brightness at max.
I am going to assume it's just being reported wrong, which is kind of a let down, is there any way to modify anything to allow this to report properly? I feel like it would be at kernel level.. and I know with Moto phones that's impossible Can anyone give me any kind of tips/pointers or give me some info on what's going on?
