Just wondering how you guys like your DIamond so far. Review I've read were mostly positive, and the specs look good, however I've seen people complain about relative slugginess of the UI. What's your guys feel about the new HTC beast so far?
Before i applied the tweaks i didnt like it that much...since applying the tweaks above...the phone is now an absolute joy to use.
Only thing i dont like about it is the dire battery...HTC really messed up with putting in such a low capacity battery...this phone definitely needs a higher capacity battery and soon.
smooth........

I think its a good idea for them to have put this battery in, and then offer a bigger batter with a replacement back. That way you get a choice.
Without using much data, the battery is not bad at all. So for those times when i'm at some party in a suit, i'd stick to the slim battery. But for everyday work situations i'd use the big battery.
Oh and the answer the question of the thread... i LOVE the size of it. Its amazing. I'm a little dissapointed with the touchscreen tho. I just pull out the stylus for most stuff.
Touchflo is ok, but i think it needs alot of work to make it less fidly. It just takes too long to get to stuff in it.
Hey guys I recently got my extended 2600mah battery, cool thing is abouy this battery is its the samr size as the stock battery!!!
Now threre are lots of rumors in forums and places that these batterys are only the 1500mah ones but kinda like hacked to be 2600mah, apparently theirs alot of modding done to the voltage therefore making yhe device hoter?
Yes! My XPlay is noticeably hoter than it was but its not to hot to handle (c wha I did dere? :3)
When overclocking and playing games the device is even more hoter but it wont cook an egg!
Performance, I can get a much lasting experience within this battery! I get about 6-8 hours more everyday usage,
So the verdict, if ur a hardcore android gamer = get one
If ur a hardcore emulator addict dont get one as ur typically goin to be overclocking and past 1.6 GHz the device becomes like super nova hot, O.0
If u juat want a longer battery = watchu watin 4? U should be on ebay lookin for one,
Btw I got this for 6.99 Euros!
Enjoy!

Where did you get this battery for 6.99?? I want one in 2 minds whether to get this or the oversized 3600 battery any thoughts i think the bigger battery is more than a cm extra to the case which seems abit much to me so leaning towards the gold 2600 battery of stock size, i have heard some of these have incorrect voltages tho
You should post a link to the same battery you bought to make sure future buyers will have the same experience as you claim, after all, ebay is ridden with knock off batteries which can gravely harm the phone and the user.
Yep sorry I posted on mobile and eBay is hell to use mobile even on Dolphin browser...
Im om mobile now, but ill try n post a link tmrw!
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I recommend the 2600mah as even tho its incorrect voltages mine is working fine and after a while the phone dosent get real hot, O.0
And im using the DXEngine Kernel which has a GPU Overclock, so I would except it to be hot...

its amazing, and once u get used to the little temperature its fine,
yep the one above is also the same
not to be a stickler but I had this same battery about 2 years ago and I had serious issues with my PLAY. The heating was one, the other issues was I had serious game and all around phone lag and performance issues. When I checked the batteries output via a meter the output was not a consistent smooth flow. It boumced around, some really low some really high. Perhaps things are better with this battery but I then found the 2600mha battery that I later made a thread for onb this forum/section.
I understand people want a battery that has more mha and same as stock size but you have to think about inconsistency. Not saying this couldnt be a good battery, and again it has been about 2 years since i purchased this battery and had my issues with it, so its possible its a good now other then the heat.
So if anyone buys it just be careful.

Nah its fine man, its nice to hear other reviews!, Also on a side note, i tend to swap out my stock sized 2600mah with the 3600 just for gaming then i switch back, i might try a match of nova 3 or sth with the 2600mah one and then ill try stock and then 3600 and report back the performance issues and etc...

Actually if you wouldnt mind doing that and posting back your thoughts on it. Hope you didnt mind my blurp earlier, I wasnt trying to squash or tell anyone to avoid buying it, just wanted to give my thoughts on it from 2 years ago, but to also give people a "both side of the story" approach to it. Like I said it could be all good now and work fine other then heat. Anyways thanks for letting me share my experience with it and being so cool about me blabbering on. lol.
The problem is that they have squeezed 65% more capacity into the same size casing, which seems scary to me. Why didnt Sony have this in the first place if that was ok to do? My battery may be massive but it feels safer to me

Hello,
I need to do something for the autonomy of the 4X HD, so change battery.
But they are too many batteries.
Can you help me to find the most effective ?
I have search on this forum and find it :
- 2680mah, no big case, looks good
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009C49I0I?vs=1
- 4800mah, great autonomy but so ugly !

Yes, he's sure. With the current technologies it is impossible to fit more mAh's into the same size without compromising the quality of materials used. This may mean the first few charges a 'bigger' battery may be more effective, but it will decay so fast, that it definitely won't be worth your money. If you want to extend your battery life, you will either need an extended battery double the size or you'll just need to carry a spare one with you.

Hi
I've got this one for quite some time now (about a month) and I've got to admit, it defiantly increase the battery life compared to the stock battery that we're given. With this one, I've got about 2 hours more than the last one and I'm pretty happy with it, since I have both this one and the old one as a spare now.

As most of you may have noticed, with the OP3 going out of production and the arrival of the 3T, one thing has remained strikingly similar. And that sometimes could lead to upgrades on users' current phones that are the OnePlus 3.
Just like HTC with the One X and the One X+, the bigger battery from the X+ yielded much greater performance in the battery department and surprisingly in the heat department too. The battery from the OP3T (disassembly and analysis is awaited) could potentially be used in our phone for greater (than usual) battery performance.
The structure of the housing looks to be the same, and the way the OP3 is built, the housings are merely just shells to wrap around the internals, nothing major (like the iPhone) so the Gun Metal casing could potentially be transferred over to the OP3.
This is all just based on speculation however. Time will tell when eventually iFixit or someone else performs a teardown.
My thoughts
Wouldn't say no to a bigger battery but time will tell
Same thought here as well,
I've been doing iphone parts repair n replacement for years,,
And what ive been doing quite often recently was placing an iphone 6+ battery to iphone 6s+,
The benefit is, the older model has slightly bigger battery, thus giving better battery life,
Hopefully OP using same connector for both OP3 & OP3T and hopefully the voltage spec didn't altered much. So that the tinkering one can see what can be achieved
Also wouldn't say no to a bigger battery but it's a moot point at this time since OP won't be selling it independently. Was just talking to Jeff on live chat and he said that they have no plans on selling any phone parts. Also, it's incompatible.

That's a real bummer. However I'm sure part resellers (like some of them do) will be buying phones to take them apart and then resell parts.
Someone in the Reddit AMA recently noted that the battery does fit - OnePlus agreed more or less that it's merely just a more dense cell. Which is great news!
Where did you get that info? If it's compatible that would be huge. Only thing from that phone I would like is that battery! :fingers-crossed:

A user on Reddit stated that the battery does indeed fit and OnePlus (Carl or Pete) said that the battery is the same with more dense cells to increase capacity while maintaining the size

In this case size doesn't matter. It's still incompatible with OP3. Aaron mentioned it. Screenshot attached.

I wouldn't blindly trust that statement. The battery most likely works if it fits. Of course it's also possible that the battery management system (BMS) would notice that the battery doesn't match preprogrammed values and that would render the battery incompatible but I doubt that. I would guess though that the the extra capacity would be wasted. I don't know where the BMS is implemented but it would need to be changed as well to get the new battery fully charged to its higher voltage. The old BMS would stop charging sooner and the capacity would be the same as in OP3.
Guess we'll have to wait for the teardown to be sure or maybe some brave soul to try it out for us.
Also a quote from reddit
I think it will work just fine because the phone charges until a certain voltage is reached. So the nominal Wh of the OP3T battery in OP3 will be 12.92Wh instead of 13.09Wh (that the battery of OP3T is capable of). Now, the OP3 has 11.4Wh so it will be an improvement.

I DMed Zach from JRE and we discussed other scenarios. I did tell him that the battery charges until the battery controller chip knows the battery reaches maximum charge. Looks like the battery definitely works! This is great news. And it shouldn't void warranty either, I took a look inside and there's only one warranty sticker which doesn't get pierced after changing the battery. I guess you could keep the old one safe incase anything happens.
Now to wait for batteries to surface
That's great news indeed. I'm now only concerned about the lowest safe voltage that the new battery can reach. If it's the same as the old one then there's nothing wrong with just swapping it but otherwise it could discharge to the point of not being able to be charged again. That's without software tweaks ofcourse. Could you also ask this question too? That would probably alleviate any potential dangers of it being swapped before anyone builds software to support it.
Hello there, I am pretty new to this forum so please advise me if there is anything wrong with this thread.
I own a oneplus 3 pretty much since the release date, and I have been very happy with it, except for the not optimal battery life.
Now, as you can take from the heading of this thread, I am thinking about rebleacing the back of my oneplus 3 with a larger one, idealy one that covers up the battery bump, so I can fit in a larger battery. Additionaly I probably will need to transfer the antennas, and do something about the speaker and microphone ports.
I would like to make the back out of aluminum via a cnc service online, but for prototyping a 3D printed solution would probably be sufficient. The other question is, where to find a battery that is larger than that in the oneplus 3s standart battery, but still beeing able to fit it inside the space made availible by the new hull.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this project, especially considering problems, that could occure.
I hope this project is interessting for some of you, and we can make the op3 even more awesome.

That wouldn't work since the battery is different voltage when charged fully. You're gonna have to find a 4.35V (max voltage, I think the nominal voltage is 3.8V) li-ion battery that is the same size in thickness and height but has deeper depth.
Anyways this project sounds like it could have some potential... I'd be really down to see a CNC machines aluminum back cover that can accomodate a larger battery. I would buy one in a heartbeat

Some guys did the swap in the lg nexus 5-they placed inside a lg g2s battery which is 3000mah vs 2300mah! It worked for them,so i think there is a chance for this swap also. Maybe we can also mess around with the kernel to make it work. All of this sounds easier than making new back cover

That's because the Nexus 5 and LG G2 batteries were the same voltage. This has already been tried and at first it didn't charge fully, then OnePlus implemented a safety feature that detects when a OP3T battery is installed and doesn't allow the phone to boot. We could make a kernel that charges to a higher voltage (the opposite of bedalus' BLX mod in his moxie kernel) but it could be dangerous and isn't worth the risk.
Little off topic but any good quality replacement batteries out there I can replace with?
I do love this idea but there's no way to avoid opening your phone, so be very hard to get everyone wanting one.

Well it's super easy to open this phone so it's not that big of a deal.
And check out witrigs.com, they seem to have good quality parts and have a replacement battery for this phone. I took the plunge and bought a new screen since I cracked mine real bad but it hasnt arrived yet, I'll be posting a review on it when it comes.
Actually I do not think, that the voltage would be such a large issue, as the voltage of a lion battery is changing constantly with its charge level, there probably is a voltage regulator of some sort in place anyway. I think that software would be the bigger problem, as phone manufacturers probably don't want you to make there phones better instead of buying their new ones
