Just ordered one
that battery is the worst decision made by htc...ever, but if you dont mind the buldge, congrats.
The added bulk is no issue for me. I used to have a jasjam with an aftermarket extended battery. Now THAT was ugly! I actually like the look of the HD2 battery.
Could you post some good quality photos with it on and off the phone when you get it.
Cheers chap
Have you used it by now ?
What are your thoughts on it ?
especially one with you holding it in your hand, please.
just want to see its size in relation to your fingers.

If you are referring to the non-HTC one, beware of the cover being unable to lock to the device body. I had one from them and have since returned it to them. Till now the replacement hasn't come in yet.
While I'm waiting, I have already ordered the one from Mugen power. Just received it two days ago. It's too early to comment on the battery capacity but at least the cover locks well to the device body.
Ordered the HTC one with kickstand from mobilefun as clove were out of stock last week.
I've got an O2 Leo, and charging the battery resulted in the LED flashing green and amber indicating a problem.
So I've sent the battery back and should get a new one this week.
However, the battery may have been ok.
Others have reported charging problems with the larger battery on the O2 stock ROM, which is resolved by applying the latest O2 ROM from HTC.
My Leo now has this so fingers crossed when the replacement battery arrives I'll be ok.
I want to order from them as well but sadly enough they dont accept paypal does anyone know of a store selling these batteries and accept paypal payments ?
Try your luck on eBay
There you go. That's the only one original one on eBay. Including shipping it comes up to $67.00
That's pretty expensive, but then again, the Mugen one costs the same.

Just got the same one as the link you have posted, yesterday. Charged it for the first time overnight yesterday, & been using it since this morning at 6am, now it's almost 6pm in my timezone, and the battery is now at 69%... And I am a heavy user - lotsa of calls (100-150mins) / smses (50-80) / mmses(10-15) during work, 3G connection always on, pushmail, twittering, photo-taking (10-20), always fiddling around...blah-blah... Usually, with my standard 1230mah battery, after 12 hours, I'm down to 15-20% with similar usage.
Here are some pics I just took of my BP-E400, and some together with its much slimmer brother.

And I must say that htcacc's response & service is outstanding & quick. Their sales manager, James is excellent!
Flying out and back to Sharm El Sheikh, the kickstand worked great, holding the phone at the right angle on the seatback table.

Not to thread-crap, but here's James' email: Email:[email protected]
Otherwise, you may click on the link provided by exlixx earlier.
My bad. Didnt realize that you've bought it through ebay. Thought you could get locally. Thanks anyway.
Great photos!
Probably the clearest photos I have seen till date for the extended battery.
How good is the kickstand though?
I know it locks into place but is it something that might get loose and start to dangle over time?
Is there any tension for it at the joint connecting it to the battery cover or does it just flail about once it's been un-latched?
Just ordered one .

Thank you for your kind words, buddy.
I think imho, the kickstand is really good. With some kinda spring-action-cum-tension, it actually flicks and locks into place, into something like an in-built groove beneath...If that makes sense..lol Oh, and it doesn't flail around too.

You're gonna be happy with it!
Long OP short,
This issue is annoying, at least for those of us who're facing it.
Frequency of occurring:
-occasionally, 1~2 days device on time ( in my case, some reported to have it more frequent )
Possible Fix:
-Disables locations ( works for some, but not me, still getting it in about 1~2days device on time )
-Uninstalling Google Search Update ( works for some, somewhat true in my case, but still pops up a couple more days than usual )
Here's the direct link to a Google Product Forum, with people reporting people facing this issue
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/b-HQZZ_jM74[226-250-false]
Another thread on Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1qxj16/my_n5_randomly_acts_like_the_sim_card_was_just/
Finally, someone actually made a thread about this.
I've having this issue too, batch #310k, getting it almost every 1 ~ 24 hrs range, it kind of random, turning off Location seems to help a lil'. WiFi, Data OFF, I rarely use data/wifi, mostly on 2G network for phone calls and sms.
The nexus 5 is the biggest problematic phone I've ever had
Team Nexus 5 sucks
I had the exact same problem and did an RMA. Google asked me to a factory reset, which did nothing of course, and then emailed me a shipping label for the return. I got my new phone a week later. No problems with this one.

OMG I thought it was because of me !! I thought I did a bad thing while putting my SIM card. Thanks god it's not because of me and I'm not alone in this case
I sent it last week to ASS, I hope it gonna be okay. I'll tell you the answer I get when they'll receive it !

Try going back to 100% Completely stock
This is a hardware issue, I had the problem from the second day that I got the phone. If your sim tray is sticking out, chances are that the pins are not lined up against your sim card.
After it got very annoying, I called Google, they confirmed that this was a hardware issue, before I called Google though I tried it with a new sim card and also went fully stock. so after that Google agreed to do the RMA.....
With the replacement phone the sim tray aligns perfectly flush when inserted, it has been now a bit over 10 days since I got the replacement no pop up messages so far.
I don't have that issue luckily, but are there any information about which ones have it, like serial number or building line.

It's hard to say, I'm using the 310k batch, most users who reported are on 310k batch, but some who have gotten their replacement 311k batch and a very few 312k batch are reporting they're still having the issue, like 90min after they first boot their phone with a simcard.
Hopefully it's not a hardware defect, and rather just some software issue with the cellular tower triggering some event on the OS to show that message.
Add me to the list, this just started happening to me.
At this point it happens anytime randomly about once a day.
SIM Card Added Problems too
Me as well. Have a launch day phone (Rev11) 32G Black. Started with the error about two weeks ago. I'm using Straight Talk (ATT). Tried re-seating the SIM tray, blowing out the socket, factory reset, cleaning the SIM card, you name it. I've had it happen on stock 4.4 as well as CM11.
I called Google on Monday after reading the lengthy thread on G+ and after 5 min of troubleshooting, they decided to warranty the phone. The rep I talked with had never heard of the problem. Weird thing is that my wife's N5 (ordered at the same time) doesn't do it at all. She is using T-mobile. Maybe the ATT SIM?
I only hope my replacement is as good as my original. Aside from the slightly loose buttons, my screen was perfect, with no dead pixels or light bleed.
I'll report back when I get it if the new H/W fixes the issue
Hi , i bought this phone 2 days ago and having the same problem . Phone keeps telling me he found a new sim card .
Cant find any solution for it . seems also not everybody has this problem .
Is this an hardware or software issue ?

I used to have this problem with a microsim cuted on my past phone (nexus 4) ... at least 1 time in a day i got the message that i have to restart my phone because the new addition of the sim card ... lol ... i didnt bother me to much initially ... i always suspect from "the cuted by myself " simcard coming from my old samsung galaxy nexus , tired of the situation i went to my local carrier and i ask for a replacemtent sim (like 4 dollars), they didn´t ask me too much why i want to change my sim card ... after that , never have that issue again ... i think that the old batches of microsim cards have issues ,
Start changing your sim card before RMA your phone .

Is everybody stopped receiving this error? Maybe somebody has the solution? I am tired of those random sim card added errors
This error appearance is very irregular: sometimes it occurs few times a week, sometimes only weekly.
Is there anybody who is receiving this error with greater then 310k batch?
P.S. I replaced my sim card to brand new, but this did not solve it.
P.S.2. Sim toolkit does not work after this error.
Picked it up for $22 bucks shipped off ebay,free shipping (from China).
http://www.amazon.com/Signal-Wireless-Adaptor-Antenna-150Mbps/dp/B007M7RP6Q
It came today,took about a week which is surprising as most things I get from China take at least 2-3,maybe because the other products are a bit cheaper ($1-$5).
Hooked it up and it was detected by my Windows 7 laptop fast, I did not bother with the 2 mini-discs included. 1 is for drivers , the other is some weird software from Benin for "detecting wifi networks" but I've read it's for cracking WEPs,I wont even bother to stick this disc in my laptop.
My stock wifi card is lucky to pick up 3-4 signals,the Signal King antenna picked up 14. I used Xirrus Wifi Inspector since I forgot I had Netstumbler installed (its not compatible with my stock wifi card).
14 signals is a pretty decent jump and the closest wifi signal jumped from -70- -80 to -39. Not bad at all for $22. i can now use the free wifi hotspots around my neighborhood pretty easy and im getting speeds of 8mb from the closest one.
I'm still messing around with location and where and how to aim it but either way,i'm very pleased with my initial experience.
Here is a pic of the Xirrus graph,sorry for how crappy it looks,I used MS Paint.

I wanted to take a minute to throw down my 2 cents on this device and back up the review of it posted above.
I often find myself in locations where wireless internet access is not immediately available for various reasons. 99% of the time my internal wireless card on my laptop can see an unsecured network with a signal strength strong enough to appear in the list, but not strong enough to actually move data.
Because of this, for over a year now i've been searching for the end all be all solution to this problem, I've studied wireless chipsets inside and out, learned the capabilities and faults of hardware from every manufacturer, I've spent what amounts to hundreds of dollars on wireless adapters, signal boosters, signal amplifiers both low power <2w and high power >5w. I've tried the amped wireless 1w signal booster and the rosewill rebadged version, I have Alfa adapters, I have low power adapters to use with the amplifiers, I have high power adapters, high gain adapters and long range adapters, and I have what amounts to a freakish collection of antennas, that range from 2dBi indoor to 18dBi outdoor directional antennas.
Some of the devices i've tried came from established local and online retailers like Fry's Electronics and Newegg so I was able to return some of the things for a refund. the more expensive items I always bought from some place with a hassle free return policy. The smaller stuff was all purchased thru ebay, and though i could technically return the items if i really wanted, but its a pain in the ass and more trouble than its worth, so i've kept them.
All throughout this adventure I was becoming more and more convinced that the end all be all solution to my wireless problems, or holy grail of wireless adapters, just didn't exist. Every time i considered another option, or bought another device or accessory that didn't live up to its claims, I felt like I was hunting Zebras, mythical creatures that dont exist, but if you look for them, you will always find one, just beyond your grasp.
Several weeks ago, while completely bored out of my mind, I was thumbing thru wireless devices for sale on ebay, I usually limit the listings i see to US only, but some reason this time I didn't. As I was scrolling down the pages, I kept running across this device, it certainly looked interesting enough, so I stopped and read the listing for it, the listing made some really wild claims both about the capabilities and the antenna design. I immediately wrote it off as bull**** and went on scrolling. For some reason, over the next hour this device kept popping in to my head and poking me, to the point it was starting to annoy me, so I went back and looked at it again, read some listing from other sellers, searched google for the part number, which the only meaningful search result google returned was this forum i'm replying to now.
I thought about it for a few minutes and applied the rational that i've already spent so much money on this quest, whats another $22, and i hit the buy it now button.
Fast forward 2 weeks to yesterday afternoon when the USPS mail lady rang my doorbell and handed me the box. When it arrived I actually wasn't even remotely excited about it, mostly due to all the previous let downs, but had nothing better to do for the next couple hours, so i opened it, its looks cool enough. I plugged it in, didn't even have to install drivers because i have drivers for just about every wireless adapter ever created already installed on my laptop. I had the windows 7 connect to a network popup window open when my laptop finished installing and enabling the device, the scroll bar had about a half inch of travel, basically i could scroll down as see one more network. I watched that scroll button shrink to about 3.4in in size. the first thing that went thru my mind was huh?, that changed quickly to WTF? then to Holy ****! I scrolled down a list of networks that just blew my mind, 4x the number of networks my internal adapter was seeing. I've lived in the house for 2 years and I was absolutely certain that at some point or another I had seen every wireless network near my house. I also found out that i was completely wrong about that.
Still in a state of disbelief, knowing in my heart and in my head that this was just a fluke, I opened up Xirrus Wifi monitor, inSSIDer3, Passmark Wireless Mon and started my Backtrack5 VM in an attempt to rationalize the fact that this was just a fluke.I studied the list of networks that each program provided and the signal strengths of each of these networks, comparing this device to my internal wireless card and finally looking at the airodump output on backtrack.
After about 45 minutes of failing to convince myself that this was just a fluke, the reality of the situation set in and a wave of both relief and anger washed over me, the relief, because I finally found it, and it really does exist, the holy grail of wireless network adapters. the anger? because I realized the every dime I spend on wireless hardware prior to ordering this device was a complete wasted of money, all I needed to do was buy one of these devices.
What I got when I purchased this device, is what I was expecting when I purchased both of my Alfa wireless adapters that people so highly praise but ultimately wound up on the top of my expensively disappointing pile, I also have a cheap disappointment pile, a pile of devices that i'm embarrassed to admit i bought, and a works surprisingly well for what it is, but doesn't do what i need it to pile.
The only drawback I can find to this device is that there is no viable US distributors for it, that I could find anyway. There are some random sellers on the US that have these available for sale, but are selling them for stupidly high prices, like >$100. So its 2 weeks from China or bust... I ordered a second one today, just for good measure, and I also ordered a couple other Signal King devices, such as a compact version of this device that claims to have almost identical capabilities and couple other things, figuring that if this device is so awesome, I cant wait to see what their other devices can do....
Nice
Just bought one yesterday, arriving in a week. Wallyb I sent you a private message
Mac driver for this card??
Just can't get it working on mac.
Anyone got the driver?? Doing my nut in!!
TIA
The metallic Nexus letter inserts on the back of the device are starting to peel up from the recessed letters. Has anyone else experienced this too? This started happening the day after receiving the phone.

On a serious note could it be the great I've noticed it can get pretty toasty under heavy use. Could the heat make the adhesive weak?
Happened to me also ... Pulled all the letters out with a needle.
Happened to me today with the X.....super disappointed, I've had it barely 3 days...
I want to glue it back on...anyone has any advice in terms of which type of glue would work best?
Happened to me also. The X on the back started to peel off one of the lines and I pushed it back in. Then later that day I realized that same line was gone and lost somewhere.
I contacted T-Mobile over the phone since I ordered it over the phone and they are shipping me a brand new one overnight. I should receive it tomorrow.
They stated it has not been an issue brought up to them yet so if any of you guys bought it at T-Mobile, go ahead and state there is an issue with it. I just received my case today so it shouldnt be a problem anymore. Sucks that this is definitely an issue though :/

A VERY thin layer of superglue, applied to the phone (not the letters) should do the trick. Make sure you put a very very thin layer, else the superglue will come on top of the letters when squeezed.

Just call T-Mo (or where ever you purchased it from), and tell them to replace it. You should have 15-30 days warranty from the seller (and 1 year from the manufacturer)
ok thanks i will call them now.

i call t-mo no dice.
they said phone is out of stock for at least 6 weeks and i can return the phone under buyers remorse and there are no t-mo stores near me with that phone in stick. any one have any other ideas? i would be fine with a replacement letter E. will moto replace this or is the best bet to get through t-mo?
I know that to some folks this issue might seem petty but I'd be pretty damn pissed if this happened to my nexus. This is a 700$ phone and I wouldn't accept anything but a perfect phone. I really wish Google/Motorola had got their **** together for this launch, waiting 6 weeks for a replacement is some bull****.

Motorola does offer the warranty, so you can certainly contact them, and they should be able/willing to fix/replace it. Note that they (unlike T-mo) may not replace with a new device - they may instead send you a refurb).
T-Mo may be saying 6 weeks just to discourage you from returning it - you could try to ask them to replace it when available (since the problem happened within the remorse period). YMMV though
I found this problem with mine today.
chatted with moto. they told me that they would replace the phone for me. with the advanced exchange policy, they will send a new phone to me (3-5 business days) before i send mine back to them. She assured me that i would not have to wait on any inventory back order time.
i bought my phone through moto.
With all those troubles, possible crazy crowd of in-store swapping, burned jeep and not allowing to use its Phone in the flights, should it reward its most loyal customers if they decide to stay with Samsung? Or give the customers a reason to be loyal?
Right now, the price tag they put is pathetic 25 bucks, for all those sure problems. Leaving the questions and uncertainties to us:
1. Should I trust them and believe it really fixed the problem in about one week (while not knowing it in a one year development cycle)?
2. Could it pose a new risk in its rush to fix the old problem?
3. Did it fix that stuck pen problem also, which I thought be the major complaint about this phone before the explosion?
4. When will likely the FAA lift the Samsung phone restriction? Am I going to have problem to travel with Samsung phone (not just Note 7, as they all look similar) in the coming months?
5. With all those trouble, minus 25 bucks, Note 7 still the most expensive phone in the market. And its price could go down a lot in the coming months, with all those recalls phones(refurbished?), and the damage to the reputation, possibly making its most loyal customers very frustrated with their top bids even there is no more issues afterwards.
I am a loyal Android and Samsung Note user, or was. However, with the most current FAA news, I am seriously considering Iphone 7 Plus now (which is also cheaper), when I still have an option.
Thoughts?
Samsung should not have to bribe you to be "loyal"...honestly, I don't believe in "loyalty" to a brand. What I am loyal to is the spen....another manufacturer makes a pen as good as samsung rest assure I will drop samsung.
It is up to you to stick it out, return your device and wait for the price to drop as you have said...and buy it, or you can just drop it all together and go to another device. Their 25 bucks is their reward...you take it or you leave it.
P.S I didn't realize "stuck pen" was the major complaint about the phone lol...mine been working fine all around. How is the pen being stuck? I saw a post somewhere that someone pushed the pen in too deep and it got stuck...all they did was wiggle it out and all was good....is that what you are talking about?

With all those troubles, possible crazy crowd of in-store swapping, burned jeep and not allowing to use its Phone in the flights, should it reward its most loyal customers if they decide to stay with Samsung? Or give the customers a reason to be loyal?
Right now, the price tag they put is pathetic 25 bucks, for all those sure problems. Leaving the questions and uncertainties to us:
1. Should I trust them and believe it really fixed the problem in about one week (while not knowing it in a one year development cycle)?
2. Could it pose a new risk in its rush to fix the old problem?

bye bye, and enjoy your iphone
^^^^ I don't think he liked your comment very much lol
I'm lucky that work will comp my phone. I will wait a couple of more months. My Note 4 is still going strong. I replaced the battery 6 months ago and it's like new. I reviewed ifixit for the Teardown of the Note 7 Doesn't look so bad to get to the battery. Sealing it back up shouldn't be too bad. I don't plan on getting my phone wet. I have to deal with iDevices at work and at home from time to time. I can't have an iPhone as a daily driver. It doesn't work out for me. I need calendar widgets, I need customization, I need an adblocker...
1. Billions of Li-ion batteries were made, they're all the same. Factory that messed up no longer supplies batteries for Note7, if I stop trusting Samsung, may as well stop trusting all Li-ion batteries makers.
2. as far as I understand it, there is nothing to fix, just properly follow manufacturing process and catch errors. The following and catching somehow didn't work at one plant, that is no longer involved.
3. what stuck pen? If clicking mechanism fails, just like in a pen, there is free replacement. never happened on mine.
4. Getting our government involved is a nightmare that may never end, they have no clue. Just FYI Boeing 787 have whole bunch of Li-ion batteries on board, that burst into serious fires in past, if I remember at least one cargo plane catch fire and crashed while carrying Li-ion batteries few years back. I thought total ban on use of any electronics during take off and landing was still in place? I have no idea how this will end, but there were other phones catching fire before, including iphone? Maybe not to the same degree, but nothing was recalled and taken off market either.
5. I could swear I've seen 64GB 6s for $850 as well, but maybe I'm wrong, didn't pay much attention.
I'll go with other poster, give me something similar to N7 with spen, I would have no problem switching and that LG phone with stylus, was LG afraid of even pretending it was trying to compete with Note series? Was it trying to create new market, like "poor man Note phone", I don't know, but can somebody tell LG used old Note 2 and Note 3 are still available for better price.

I bet these companies aren't doing anything for their customers.
