So, i was wondering.
Since the battery life of the HD2 is sort of disappointing i wanted to look for an extended battery.
Now, i came across an ebay item and i'd like your opinion;
Here is the subject in question: E-Bay HD2 1500mAh Battery
Do you guys think it is
a) Truly 1500Mah
b) Truly standard size
still in doubt as of to purchase that battery, thats why i want to ask the opinion of the community.
Cheers
This battery looks interesting but not sure whether the size is the same as stock battery so that the metal cover can close nicely?
i just bought it! for seven dollars (~£4.50 GBP) i think its worth a shot! will report back when/if i get it!

me too. I thought I'll buy a guy in Hong Kong a cup of coffee and lets see what for good things will come from it.
To the OP: thanks for the tip!
BTW Mugen also makes extended batteries - though not for the HD2 yet - that have a greater capacity and a standard fit, so ... it is possible (if not, a spare battery for 5 euro is always usefull)
I cant belive that this chinese crap can have more then 1000 guys

Please do!
Noone seem to notice the mfg date on that battery is 3months before the HD2 was even available worldwide?
Then again, it's only $7 bucks...
I dont believe this battery his really 1500mah... I have bought some other batteries on ebay to digital cameras who 'supposely' had bigger capicity, but in reality their time was much shorter than the one that came to the camera. I believe this should be the case...
Please feedback if the 1500mAh battery is long lasting?

yeah i did notice that the battery was made before the HD2 came out! ha ha!
and that its made by a well know company! lol!
i just noticed that the battery terminal polarity indicators are in the wrong position! lol!
we find out when it arrives!
Use the Battery tool for it. Search for HTC Debug Tool, it's in it.

I second that.
i ordered this
http://cgi.ebay.it/Informatica_Acce...QptZAccessori_per_palmari?hash=item2eaa472c9c
what do you think?
well..only thing i can think of is...
The battery sais "Touch HD 2" out unit is called the "HD2" without the touch....but...as allways...we'll wait n see!
ehehhe, i'll let you know
Don't believe it
I checked c Manufacture Factory for this battery, It made in china , I found wrong record for it in chinese wesite. So don't believe it.
Please report on how it works and how it fits.
On all previous HTC phones I could stick a microSD and simcard side by side on top of battery and cover would still fit perfectly. I can not do that with Leo so am interested to see how it fits.
It looks that the Phieips battery isn't gonna work on the HD2 I recieved this email today:
Hello,
I had make mistake of the htc HD2 battery, the factory marked this battery
for htc HD2, I find this is wrong size battery for HD2 today, I will ship another one HD2 battery to you again, if you received the wrong battery, don't need return to me and waiting for another one HD2 battery arrive.

Oh well, **** happens
EDIT: looks like **** happened only on 3 and 4 january. I just recieved another mail from the guy from Hongkong, which I bought a cup of coffee:
Hello,
Sorry again, just find battery has problem sold on 3-4 Jan, other battery
are correct model, if you receive battery is wrong size, take a picture of the battery and send
to me, I will ship another one to you again, sorry again.

(bit ambiguous, but it looks as if my order is OK because i placed it jan. 6th. Or? )
He does take care of his business, that must be said.
I have always been of the opinion that cheap batteries from anywhere risk giving you a lot of pain, either physical pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand or emotional pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand (but you not being hurt)
Poorly manufactured batteries have a tendency of doing the above and is it really worth the risk for an extra 250mAh?
Edit: And to emphasise my point - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614240

Considering that it's not really that much bigger than what we currently have, is it really worth it? Please tell us how they are when you get them!
Personally I'm holding back for something with a bigger capacity atm, provided you two can't prove me wrong in thinking that the above battery isn't big enough to warrant its price
you're not going to get a much bigger battery on the mozart due to the design of its casing that does not allow for 3rd party battery covers, hence the batteries have to be of the same size unlike the extended batterys that were available previously for earlier HTC models.
from what I've heard from people who've used this battery, it gives about 6 hrs extra from heavy usage, which isn't that bad

i'm hoping the additional 500 mAh will provide some benefit. Mugen's batteries have worked well for me in the past, so i'm expecting the same improved battery life. in the US, the T-Mobile G2 battery also works with the Mozart and costs about $35 US dollars. for me it's worth paying $10 more for a battery that provides about 40% more mAh.

If you could please, that would be wonderful ^__^
mine arrived today as well (in the US) and i will test for a few days before giving feedback. to my surprise, mine was 80% charged when i checked on the phone. I checked the % charge using the HTC Battery TestTool from this post.
i'm in the 3rd cycle of charges/discharges(it must make five cycle to have the complete power of the battery) i connect off my phone since 9.am it's now almost 5.pm & the percentage of the battery is near to 70%,very impressive
i take 3-4 call(25-30mn in all),send messages,listen music during one hour with equlizer,my E-mails is synchronized,luminosity to automatic( i put it usually on "low") & go to internet with 3g mode,go to other apps in wifi,...
i will post later when the complete cycle of chargers/dischargers are done
i'm on cycle 1 and my results are not as good: Monday my phone lasted 12 hours (3% power remaining). i had 113 push emails to one account (19 replies via the phone), 15 push emails to another account, 94 minutes of calls, bluetooth on for 8 hours, 40 minutes of call on bluetooth and 27 text msgs. for me this is an above average use day. will use another 2 days before my next follow up.

HTC HD7 3000 mah
Any one can tell how long it will last?

I want to buy one but Im hesitated
PS the site start with ws and end with html
dont buy from there you can find them cheaper..i ordered one of ebay for $15 and it should be in tomorrow
http://goo.gl/HrGP5
Bought one from this ebay account 3500 mAH same size a little more live, battery does work except for the fact that the phone itself uses data like crazy. phone last me like 16 of continuous usage without data being turned on
Does it make the back of the case bulge at all?
Beware of batterys made in China that claim to be 3500mAh! for a small price.
You might find they are re-labelled ordinary batterys that can cause faults.
You need a close-up exam on those Chinese-made batts to make sure of Everything. I live in this hell.

I'd listen to this guy if I were you, fake faulty batteries are very common.
Im still using the Mugen battery. I use my phone the entire day. Wifi, location, faster gps, xbox live.. everything turned on.. i talk more than 4hrs a day, keep texting, youtube etc. never have to recharge the phone. Amazing battery. i had a problem with it once. sent it to mugen and they sent me back a new one. ^^
Dumb me opened a post in general

I've had one of these for 2 months... Marginally longer than the stock battery, and the bulging case is a pain in the ass...
OK I bought the battery !!! Ive seen the bad feedback (some good ) now its here. Im going to test this out and let you guys know if any good !! Hope i didnt waste my moneys !!!!!
First point ive noticed ....... It charges quicker but that isn't allways a good sign :S <----- my moneys
Oh! Yes please give us your feedback
Sent from my GT540 using Tapatalk
No problem lol --- will take a good few days for a full report but today im trying to run it flat as fast as I can then i will just copy like for like with the lg standard battery looking for a big margin mind.
One thing I can report and my case may be contributing to it or the fact ive never run so many apps at once is its burning my pocket !! Im running a live stream from some scanner app whilst downloading a torrent im never going to end up getting whilst having wifi gps bluetooth full brightness all the tweaks that kill battery time and it was charged up on full power 7.28 hrs ago and im on 30% give or take. when its fully dead i will turn off phone and do a recharge and give a time then do the like for like. :s <----- my moneys lol
And, what is your oppinion after 5 days?
I think the Battery Exploded or was fakelabeled.
Sorry for taking a while on this had some medical issues. Never the less ive being using the battery and i can report its a wrongen. I keep running low well lower than the originall battery as for performance no change. I think the battery is in fact lower than the standard battery and i lost out. I now use it as a back up but know i would have been better off withy the 1800 or the portable charger or the 2 standad batterys with a wall charger. The guy has had bad feedback for far to long and I will contact ebay.
Dont be a mug like me and buy
Did you get refund?
Shiittttt... Does damn fake products...
Well better no spend money on that , if the battery doesn't explode, your phone could...

I am stuck with exactly same problem with my samsung tab S 8.4 and want battery replacement for my Tab. and i also need this battery to be shipped to pakistan.
I came across few links but none is shipping to pakistan.
There is one item at Aliexpress.com and they ship to worldwide but my own experience with aliexpress is not that good as all items are of very low quality, soo kindly if anyone comes across some good solution, help me too.

What about this? AliexpressQUOTE]
Just purchased one from Newpower. Seems OK - I haven't installed it yet as it is to be a standby in case it is needed. Yes it is expensive and beware - there will be import duty and tax to pay on top. I had to pay approx $28.00 more for this in the UK. Bill Kelly seems to be the owner/boss at Newpower who does the voice in their excellent video on their site and DVD provided with battery. Following my initial enquiry to express my doubts as to the quality etc he e'mailed to say that the battery comes to USA (Dallas) and is 3rd party, manufactured in Orient, and he needed my business (ordered only one battery).
Anyway the battery is marked Cameron Sine Technology - so try to see if you can buy it for considerably less from elsewhere. Where else would provide a special opening device / tool least likely to cause damage.
I noticed that the link to aliexpress indicates that the "genuine" battery was no longer available between 24 to 27 February when I checked. Send an e'mail to Bill Kelly and ask about shipment to Pakistan - it was not listed in the shipment list when you pretend to purchase for some reason.
I found 3 suppliers on eBay from Hong Kong, Wisconsin USA and Bischofswerda Germany with wildly varying prices and no doubt trustworthiness.

eBay replacement..
Hi ya'll... As most of you been experiencing, I have been having a lot of battery issues.
The battery levels drops in big dumps... Charge takes too long ( overnight for full charge) but doesn't last more than 3hrs... Charges too quickly (less than an hour) but also dies out within 30mins. When charge gets below 25% screen starts flickering and then it continuely reboots!
Anyways I finally decided to get a new battery, I went with eBay seller "Fashcover" item as it was $30AUD shipped and it also had all the tools required (actually had a lot more than needed). So after 2 weeks I finally received it, it only takes 10-15mins to replace the battery.
Pretty much all the markings are similar,the electric connecting wires are of different color combinations & it's 1-2mm smaller than OEM in width!
So far I've been able to use it for 4hrs straight, still have 30% remaining... Atleast now the battery slowly goes down instead of the jumps! But still battery life isn't anywhere near iPad minis!
Battery doesn't last long on 100% charge, it drops to 99% within a minute or 2 of disconnecting from charger..
You guys with the 8.4" seem to have quite a few problem compared to the 10.5" version, like display quality and now battery issues, or is it just a lot more people with the 8.4" or something.
And as far as i have read, after charge the battery dropping from 100% to 99% when the charger is unplugged or shortly after is normal so dont worry.
Below is a battery recalibration guide, for some of you it sounds like the battery is really faulty and needs replacing, it`s a shame you have to pay for it when it`s still in warranty.
John.
You can calibrate the battery like this before you decide to buy a new one
Fully charge the battery with the phone on and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off.
When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.
Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.
Once charged to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not charge until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).
phones with oled displays should not show static images for a long time as it can cause burn-in

this is the issue with almost all the tabs. people dont really accept it but this issue is there. there might be few exceptions but overall, the battery life SUCKS steel balls covered with goo and horse **** with toppings of slime and pig ****.
i have had enough issues with this ****ty tablet. i so loved this tablet that i spent almost twice its price on just repairs. but it was not meant for me may be. i had to sell it in scrap.
i have already warned people about its battery. there is a reason people get iPads when they want tablets. i have never owned one, but i have used one. and yes Android tablets, especially Samsung tablets SUCK!
my advice would be to sell it off ASAP, and instead get something else. you will face more issues, i can promise you that at least in battery life. rest its your choice.

its not that there are many people with 8.4, it might be, because of its smaller size but its not entirely the case. the truth is the battery in this tablet used by samsung is of worst quality even when compared to their lower end tablets. this was supposed to be Samsung's FLAGSHIP tablet but they ruined it with battery.
& yes 100 to 99 when u plug it out, thats understandable, but how can anyone explain a brand new, out of the box tablet, go from 99% to 63% in JUST SETTING UP THE TABLET WHICH TAKES LIKE LITERALLY 3 MINUTES???
"THAT'S" the issue people were facing.
and this is the reason you will not see samsung marketing it anymore now. even on their youtube channel. even samsung knows it was a full flop.
i personally know, 3 people other than myself who got this tablet. and all, including myself, had this issue. and NO we all didnt get these from same seller or even same country. and they were of different batch.
I always wondered if company's send b-grade products to country's with not the best consumer protection for faulty goods.
And 99% to 63% in 3 minutes is not normal, but it is possible that the tablet just needs the battery calibrating and there are a few guides out there, if the battery is still bad after that then return it or get it repaired.

No issues with battery on 10.5 inch. Not sure why. only the 8.4 models seem affected by battery.

When it`s $70/£45for an T800 10.5" battery with tool-kit, or i can get a splurge for removing the back cover for £1 and a replacement battery for £8.40, which would you choose.
