With this battery I can use all the hardware features of my Atrix, which is why I bought it. I do in fact see the 60 additional power provided by this new battery. I use Battery Monitor Widget - Pro to watch my power reserves. Even though I changed the maximum capacity to 3200 mHrs, the correct capacity remaining is not accurate. Believing the battery indicator to be in-accurate I continued to use my Atrix. I had to play about 2 hours of TED pod-casts to finally exhaust the battery. This was my first day with the new battery. (I charged it overnight 10Hrs). I think the previous reviewer made a mistake by believing the battery monitor. When I get a little time, I will see if I can get BMW working correctly. The back-shell is an embarrassment. Seido should do something about it. I have a Speck case that I really like. Maybe I can machine it out to allow the battery bump to protrude through. |

| I purchased this as soon as available and charged as per instructions. The following morning, by 10am, the battery indicator was already in the red! The original battery usually lasts until late afternoon so this was a big disappointment. I contacted Seidio tech support via email and was told that a minimum of 3 complete discharge (to the point where the phone shuts off) and recharge overnight cycles are required for the battery to realize its full potential. I did this using the phone each day for the next 3 days to the point where it would shut off and then recharging overnight. No change after those cycles. The battery does seem to last a little longer than the original but the battery indicator hits red (30) very quickly (within a few hours) and then slowly moving down to the 20 and 10. The battery certainly does not last twice as long as you would think it should. It only lasts a few hours longer (at most) than the original. | |||||
