Re: Free Sprint Battery- YMMV
Is the battery life SERIOUSLY that bad? 30-45 minutes talk time? 10 hours of idle and its dead?
Seriously dude, that would suck. And I'd probably end up returning the Pro within two or three days if that's the case.

Re: Free Sprint Battery- YMMV
Anybody get better performance out of these replacement batteries?
Also, has anybody tried using the external plug in battery chargers for their extra batteries? |

Re: Free Sprint Battery- YMMV
I was FINALLY able to locate a Sprint store with a battery to spare. The rep gave it to me with no hassle, thank you very much to him!
Now, about the battery. There is a definite difference between my old battery, and this battery I picked up today. First, the new battery is definitely heavier to a certain degree. It may not be by much, but the difference is there. 2nd, the label has different ratings. The replacement is model BTR6850B and says 1340mAh 3.7DC- 4.95Whr lion. The old battery does not say a Whr rating. Attached are pics of the two, the battery with the sharpie dot on the gray line is the new battery. |

Re: Free Sprint Battery- YMMV
This is almost an interesting study.
I have found that stores in large metro areas (such as NYC for me and LA for loren646) were charging for these used batteries, both at different amounts. At the same time, stores in more rural or suburban areas were happily giving them away for free. Somehow, I don't think they are either supsto give away these batteries, or sell them at all. Something tells me that these reps are just pocketing the money for these batteries. |

Anyway, maybe I'm just lucky, but I can easily get over a day out of mine. I can make it two days if I stretch it. My phone's been off the charger 36 hours and still has 12% battery left, of course thats with light to moderate use.

Re: Free Sprint Battery- YMMV
So, I went to my "local" Sprint repair store...it's only 1 1/2 hours from me...LOL. Anyway, was down that way yesterday, and was charging my Pro in the car, cause the battery was dead...looked down, and realized that it WASN'T charging because it was hot, and the battery wasn't even half charge. So, since I was right next to the Sprint place, I went in and asked them for a battery. The girl was talking and talking to me, and she finally decided that it was a problem with the phone itself, since it was hot. I was like, "Uh, pretty much everyone that has a Touch Pro complains about the terrible battery life, and the heating up of the phone." She claimed that they had had NO complaints in their store about these issues. LMAO. Anyway, since she decided that it was a defective unit, she ordered me a new phone, and I will be going down in a couple days to switch them out. Didn't have to use my TEP or anything.
Question is, am I able to keep my old battery, and the battery cover? What about the charger? As I understand it, I SHOULD be able to keep all those things...anyone have any hassles from Sprint store reps not wanting to let you keep them? |
