I rarely find accessories for my HD2 but this one I couldn't pass up for $50 in fact. It is a one of a kind battery pack which is similar to the Mophie for my iPhone that I have used before. Wow?
Anyone else seen this one particular "extended battery?"

Check this one with a landscape kickstand
HTC HD2 extended battery with Kickstand
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuWuyW1J4D4
http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/video-htc-hd2-extended-battery-w-kickstand

isn't the phone heavy enough already? how much weight does that battery add? I like to carry the phone in my pocket all the time. Also I assume I can't use the standard case once this battery is installed.

Any idea what the battery capacity is?
How easy is it to install and remove?
Can you give us a SKU, part number, model number, or anything else to search with?
Thanks, and great find!

It's actually a case with a battery inside.

very quick and small review of the product somewhere in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723233

I actually have this product. It's not bad, but does add a large amount of "bulk" to the phone. It's not heavy at all. In my experience, it will give you about 60% of a charge when fully charged itself. Meaning if you turn it on when your battery is at around 10%, it'll jump to about 70%, and pretty quickly I might add. I wouldn't leave it in your pocket while it's running though as it does tend to heat up a bit.

Beware
I found them on ebay for $35 from a vendor in Hong Kong.Remember that if you have a dock it won't fit into it with the new battery cover,also I don't know of any phone cases for a phone with the larger battery door.Just an fyi.Also it is not T-Mobile branded.Do google search for htc hd2 battery and follow ebay result.(unable to post link)

This product you're talking about is not what this thread is about at all. We're talking about a case that carries a battery charge that can be switched on and off and leaves the phone it's original state. And it IS T-mobile branded.

yukks. my original extended battery looks more clean and handy , !!

The only difference to the standard one is three lights(?) http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=195058 (this is NOT limited to the UK because the link shows the UK, checked and at least they sell it in Sweden too, so they probably sell it anywhere)
Do you have a picture that actually shows how it looks? :S

Who cares? this thread is not a "look, my battery is better than yours and cleaner than your" kinda thread. the 500+ comments you have serve for nothing I guess.

im confused, the website states "Compatible with T-Mobile HTC HD2 (not compatible with International version HD2)." however in the picture there is a european hd2. Any ideas?

I never noticed that. It certainly doesn't have the colored send and end keys of the TmoUS HD2. Given that one is taller than the other, I doubt this could fit both versions. My guess is that the photos are of a prototype or preproduction TmoUS HD2.

Really, it should be compatible with all versions! There is only a 1.5mm height difference (TMOUS is taller) , and in a hard case like this, it's not really going to matter, is it?

HTC Protective Cover with Battery Boost
I got mine at a franchised T-Mobile store for 50% off. Approx. $25
No instructions. Has switch on back to actually recharge internal battery from external battery. Indicator lights tell you external battery is fully charged. USB connection is pass thru for charging only (no Data). According to amazon it will NOT work on UK HD2.
I also found it at Amazon: Serach
"OEM T-Mobile Protective Cover w/ Battery Boost for HTC HD2"
or Part No: "SUPA33967"
I'll be using it while in the hospital while recovering from knee surgery.
(Quad Tendon Tear) Ouch!!!
I'll use it to give myself data access for my iPad. And of course as a telephone.

To be honest, I think I'd rather get the extended battery & case from HTC website, at least you know what you're getting that way.

I just received one this afternoon...you're so right, my data is 57%.
But, it has a serious problem:
when you install it on HD2, then you can't sync the phone with PC!!!

Fake vs. Real Battery: Can you spot the real one?

I'm writing this so that you don't get SCAMed as I've already seen in several topics on the Accessories forum.
I know many of you would rather by OEM (myself included), yet many of you are paying full price for an imitation.
Now, there is nothing wrong with the imitation batteries on ebay, they work just as good as the real ones.
However It's just sad to see people paying like 50 times more for something that can be bought cheaply
there are honest ebay sellers that do tell you it is not the real battery, there are the type of sellers you should buy from.
not the ones adverting FAKE ones as "Real" ones.
Here they are side by side, can you tell the difference?

It should be rather clear, ironically the FAKE one has a better build than the OEM ones.
Now look again at the pictures advertised on ebay or whatever place you should happen to buy them at
They are all the same as the fake one.
pictures taken by SGS i9000m

The 1st on the first picture and the 2nd on the second picture are the original batteries

A bit redundant if you don't tell us which and what differences to look for.

is too early to tell, i'll let more people try on their own before giving out the answer, but there are plenty of hints already

My battery is original, and looks like neither of these, yet is G7. It doesn't have a QR code for starters, but that's maybe because its a EB575152VU.
Everyone is happy with imitation batteries.. Until they overheat, melt, or have other problems. So, you need to decide if you want to take the risk. If you buy off ebay, just go 3rd party. If you want originals, go to an authorised service center or dealer.
You also say ALL fakes on eBay are that specific fake one? How can you prove this? Having sold apple equipment in the past, we found there were many different looking kinds of fakes. Many generally were similar (and that might hold for now), but it generally isn't true long-term..
Just remember, if you buy a fake, the person who made them know you are a sucker (and they aren't interested in making you happy, only making money). This means they just need it to seem plausible enough to be real (they can ship it with 1400mah, and barely anyone would notice). It can use the dodgiest cells on the planet, and as long as they take a while to die, it's ok too.
Either buy genuine from a trusted dealer, or go third party. It isn't always easy to identify counterfeits.

No. Left battery looks most like mine does, applies to both pictures. Seems like that doesn't necessarily mean it's a real battery though.
At closer inspection, my battery says EB575152VU and not EB575152vu as the left battery does and mine is MADE IN CHINA / FINISHED IN KOREA, they are otherwise identical.
I'm assuming Samsung didn't supply me with a fake battery for my phone.

No,no,no The left battery on the second picture is a 100% FAKE. Mine battery is exactly like the right one, but it doesn't have bar code

So is this real or fake ?

Of course it's real. What do you expect? To buy a brand new phone (2-3 months only) with a fake battery. Even the chinese in eBay aren't so fast

Yepp, you have a battery that looks exactly like mine does (barring the serial#/mfgdate obviously).
Assuming all batteries Samsung supplies with the phones are exactly the same, they're BOTH fake.
I would assume the difference on model# is because that particular battery is made and finished in China while our batteries are made in china and finished in Korea. There's really nothing that says the left one is fake.

@ OP. OK now I am really confused (not difficult) Are both the one in my pic and the one I bought from eBay fake? They look identical apart from that little bit of print above the "G7"

First picture, right battery says "made in japan/made in japon/made in corea" Something is fishy there. Besides, it doesn't look like mine does.
As for the second picture, the left battery looks pretty much identical to mine. I'm assuming the batteries are not swapped simply because of that.

what mickeko said
and celeronix said

A straight answer would be helpful please or I will assume your just flaming. The two you refer to seem to say both fake and real. So I respectfully ask again are both my and the eBay pictures of fake batteries?

The batteries supplied with your phone are real.
But, honestly, this discussion is a waste of time anyway, because fakes aren't always obvious.. The assumption that they always look the same is wrong

[Q] Extended battery 3000mah

is this for real? here is the link :
http://www.lelong.com.my/htc-touch-...o-battery-3000mah-75157308-2010-12-Sale-P.htm
ive asked the selller too and they are confirmed that the extended battery is for htc hd2 t8585. So my questions are:
1. Is this a real product or just a scam? because when i googled, there is no such thing as 3000mah extended battery for htc hd2. i even searched the forum too.. no such topic found >.<
2. Since there is no type of brand mentioned, is it safe? i don't want a leaking battery or an explosive on my pocket. So is the battery safe? how do i check before i buy it? any method of checking it?
3. is there any effect on my os? like compatibility issue or anything? eg : im using dezire z build.
4. any opinion or suggession on extended battery? im from malaysia btw.

1/ That is a REAL physical product, but it may work, it may not, or it may destroy your phone, lol. No one can ensure about its quality.
2/ Look at 1/
3/You must try it yourself, because there are around 10000 factories around the world can manufacture that kind of product, and I assume less than 0.1% of them are certificated by HTC! Someone would use the same looking battery at yours, but how can you ensure yours and his were from the same factory?
4/ I've seen on Ebay some sellers advertise that they selling the genuine extended battery (BP E400 2300MAH). Hope those aren't fake products but who knows?
My experience: I'm using a Duracel External Power 1000mAh (similar to Enegizer Xpal Power 1000) for emergency recharge. It doesn't look cool but at least it's cheaper and safer for my hd2.

The guy couldn't even attach the right photo to the auction. It is not an HD2.
I would rather buy these. Tried them both, the official gives more juice, but the other one doesn't make the phone that thick and is a lot cheaper.

Wow! how much is that? Does it work for android and WinMo?

Without even making this thread, don't you think it's a little weird that the image shown is clearly not an HD2 ?

They both work on winmo and Android. Some roms might have problems dealing with extended battery support.
Official around 25GBP on ebay, used to be more than 40GBP
The one from China 7-11GBP on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-HTC-B...850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb00db4aa
Official is 2300Mah, the cheaper one has 2400Mah written on it, but I doubt that, coz it is slimmer and the official lasts longer for me.
I started seeing the cheaper one with 2600Mah on it on ebay, that must be fake if the size is the same. But if you put this fact aside it is a decent battery with a nice rubbery feel cover which fits perfectly. Kicstand broke glued it in normal position.

Haven't tried wp7 yet. For me android development just got to the stage I was dreaming about. No issues/bugs for me with MDJ HD4.6+hastarin. I am gonna wait a lot before trying wp7. Again the official one works just fine, 2 days, accurate %drain details and it costs 25GBP.
If it is not compatible with your fav android rom, you can sell it and use 2 stock size original batteries which isn't that convenient but still better than a built in non removable battery what lots have in a phone I don't even want to talk about :-D

I dont recommend the china cheapo's. They have magical mah. Why? Because they dont really last that longer. I bought one from ebay, and the kickstand brke like 5 minutes after i took it out from the packaging. And, it looks fugly. After that, i bought the official one from ebay, and it works great. Only problem is, android needs eb drivers for it to work, but in wp7 it works (crazily, but it does xD).

I stand on the OEM side as well.
There is an another option to consider if you have money.
The mugen 2600Mah battery for hd2 which is a quality product for 69.99 dollars.

That's 16% of the Device's cost !
Does it make my phone fly ? .. I mean I'm not buying a power mat, it's just a battery ! It shouldn't be that expensive

So does anyone have those battery I thought of buying one, but I'm not sure is wort of spending so much money on them, but Htc really made mistake with battery of 123omAh for HD2

I have bought the 2600mAh mugen battery together with the extended battery case. so far this battery is giving me around 3 days of continous use with me running android off the sd card. on wino 6.5 i was getting around 4 days.
the build quality on the case is questionable though as the clips on it have already cracked after 3 days of use. mugen have been good replying and they will send me another at no extra cost.!!

As for me the extended battery i bought was very cheap and it works very well. The only drawback is that winsmob doesn't show the actual amount of battery i have left. This doesn't seem to be the problem while using android on sd card. One needs to pull the battery in order to make the phone know the battery still has a lot to give.
I was able to go 2 day and like 4 hours.
I played game for more than 2 hours, listened to music for more than 4 hours and surfed a little bit. As far as i can tell, this result is acceptable. I bought the battery for 7.49 euros in total.

Hey jzack,
when it comes to batteries I recoment always to be careful. There are a lot of products out there not working properly. BUT: most replacement batteries (for all kind of electronics) work just fine, for a while. They really do. What's wrong with them is not that they are not working... it's the specs!
First: Nearly none of them have the capacity with which they are labeled. Take at least a third off, that's the real value for capacity with most noname products.
Second: They do not last very long in most of the cases. Since Batteries are build nearly all the same, the quality of the materials & chemicals and the quality of maufacturing makes the difference! Now try to imagine how good noname products are at these points!
Third: In many cases the Phone is not correctly reading the charge, so it is sometimes worth the money bying original stuff. Not having the correct leftover of energy on my screen is a no go for me.
In a nutshell: you can by "cheapos" anytime, with a little bit of risk of course. They will do good for a while.. or not. If they last half a year fo 5$, it's ok. They also could be down to half the capacity after 3-4 month... then buy new ones, since they are so cheap! (which is not the most ecological way I think)
I personally would rather buy 1 or 2 of the standard HTC batteries (or brandname standards) and swap 'em. One always in the bag, one in the car...or in the office... whatever. They are strong, keep the capacity up for a long time and do not cost too much.
Swapping is easy, many HD2 cradles with spare battery charge function are out there on ebay and the Phone itself stays sleek (the bigger battery cover makes it so ugly!) and it still fits in the sleeve/case or pocket. All stays like it is, you just add 1 or 2 spares. And a quick boot for a battery swap isn't really an issue now, is it?
I like that solution much more. But that's probably just me...
hope this helps a bit,
regards,
Myrixamophit

My X - rest in peace

Sadly and unexpected my HOX passed away earlier today.
We were in the car togehter and my dear HOX was running Waze giving me helpful advice along my route when it suddenly screamed (yes!) and soon there after the screen went blank. All my attempts to resuscitate was futile and while I held HOX in my hand it's feverish temperature burnt me.. and the smell... oh the smell!
I rushed to the nearest 3 ER (Service Center) where the could do nothing but confirm it had perished.
It was completely stock, no unlock, nothing modded but a Copter screen protector. Is there a support group for grief counseling?

So sorry to hear of your loss. I think it might have overheated on the dash. Was the sun shinning on the phone while it was giving you directions?

No, it wasn't sunny and it was mounted in the official HTC car thingy, and there is an air vent just behind it. Maybe just because it wasn't sunny and bright the backlight was cranked up?

The remains has been sent of to some center for doing a post mortem and I'm hoping (praying) it will resurrect (with major transplants). The loaner I got is a stranger from another Galaxy who is terribly slow.

Haha HTC didn't want to replace mine, eventually agreed though. Here's the funny bit:
To repair the phone they needed to replace the screen for the dead pixels. They then needed to replace the main board for the wifi issue.
Then needed to give it a new case for the wonky holes on front speaker. (and they actually did this even after agreeing to replace , still have same serial, just different imei)
You would have thought they might of just agreed to a replacement in the first place haha

Yes, it was major transplants but it's soul is the same. I've spent the day retraining all lost function and capabilities so the recover process is well on its way.

I personally would never use my HOX as a GPS guidance. Why not just buy a regular cheap GPS from any electronic store? Cell phones are not to be placed in any areas having sun shining upon. One time I was only leaving in my room where the sun was strong was gazing intensely inside, my HOX was severely overburned just from the sun.

I left my phone under my pillow with the alarm going off once, and i was in a really heavy sleep, woke up and it burnt me -.-

Well, I have an expensive built in dash mounted GPS... but it don't give me as good traffic data as Waze. The phone wasn't in direct sunlight , it was in the car kit holder well shaded, the GPS signal penetrates the car roof with ease.

[Q] Nexus Metal Letter Inserts on back of device

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 :/

I wonder if using a skin will prevent this issue. I have a skin and a case on my Nexus and its fine.

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.
P.S. pics?

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.
