power skin

Anyone think the power skin case would work for our hd2 that they made for the EVO or for that matter the HD7? I'd love to get this case! Double battery!
Thoughts?!?
http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1507evo/htc-evo-powerskin.html

It be great if it works... but I doubt it. I'm not sure if the size of the two devices are the same.
Don't figure anyone would be willing to test.

Check here: uTube Link

I am glad I came across this forum post. I will be getting me a powerskin.

Ofcourse it will work, since what you are doing is not different from charging the phone. I mean you connect this battery via miniusb to the phone so i see no reason why it shouldn't work. I think the right question would be if the device will show it as an extended battery or as the phone being charged. I think you get what i am trying to say.

It will show it being charged as normal. Just wish they sold it in the UK ... without the huge delivery charge on ebay.

Just found this:
OEM T-Mobile Protective Cover w/ Battery Boost for HTC HD2
The reviews don't seem to be too good, and I'm nt frm the US, but guessing someone might want this

Hi ppl why you want to buy something that makes the phone ugly, big ,non pocket friendly and you have to carry it. If i checked correct it charging the phone up to 85%. If you don't have problem to carry something with you you can choose zagg which can charge hd2 almost 4 times or you can carry a Chinese battery from eBay which is really cheap and smaller . For me because this is a problem i choose this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320646241073
Same size without changing battery cover
This is my opinion guys sorry for my bad English
Cheers

Ty for the reply,
About the zagg, I don't want to carry along something that is detached from my phone, because I like to keep it in my pocket; I admit this makes it thicker, but I got extra big pockets just in case - sales assistant stared at me cluelessly when I asked for jeans/cargo trousers with the biggest pockets.
About the 2430mah Chinese battery, it's stated capacity is a lie - hence a waste of money.

LOl theres no way the fit an extra 1000mah in the same size battery. Im no expert at batteries but it isnt physically possible. I guess most xda members wear skinny jeans or something.

Wow that thing is huge and ugly imo. I get great life out of my battery using hyperdroid GBX...ever since I have been using that rom I have not once thought about an exteded battery.

I bought this from ebay for $13 w/free shipping. Just got it today. Hd2 is 2mm x 1mm x .5mm smaller than the hd7, so it is a little loose. But barely loose. Still fits, and stays put, doesn't slide around. Hd7 power and battery ratings are the same as hd2, so it is fully compatible. Works great! Doesn't actually add to your total maH, but you have a gel cover with a built in 1500 maH battery that charges your phone when needed. The result- led is always green or amber, so no flashing led when message is received. Also, there is no data pass through, so you have to take the case off to sync with your pc. The case comes off easily though. Case takes the same usb connector as the phone, so you can use your charger. Since it is a case, the overall size increase is uniform, unlike the pregnant bulge of an extended battery. Still, I'm going to get an extended battery just to have it and check it out. I recommend this case.

Hi, i wonder how much extra working ours you get using this case, ? some 10hrs more ?

My mom owns an HTC HD7, I tried one of her cases on my phone, and it fit perfectly, however the problem is that the volume rocker is on the other side so it makes it difficult to change the volume on the phone

how much extra hrs you get with this case ?

I was thinking of getting one of these (or an extended battery) but I just bought a portable charger. It's 2300 mah (almost 2 extra full charges) for only $30.

POWERSKIN only 4.99$
POWERSKIN only 4.99$ but not available for FRANCE ....fk...

now even 0,01$ and i think shipping to europe is possible as i could choose it on checkaout. Shipping 14,95$

you could order one? and you probably did...
i had a master plan of ordering few of them, sending them to someone in europe who can order them and sending them to everyone across the continent who wanted one.

Where to buy genuine HTC HD2 battery?

Anyone have any idea where I can order the genuine battery for the HD2? My stock battery is dying and it would be awesome if I can get a brand new one that performs well. So far, I ordered two of those Chinese imitation batteries from two different sellers and they have the same serial number haha. They don't hold nearly as much charge as they should. Any suggestions?

Hate to quote myself but this link is valid. I ordered one the other day and it arrived today. It does have the HTC branding and is the exact same battery (P/N also) as my HD2 battery.
A reviewer on the site said they got one without the branding. I read that after I had ordered. Doh! But I got a genuine battery.

is the mould 100% same on this battery & the wrapping cut & folded the same.
Also look at print for matching size & quality.
Most batteries at that price will not be original but if lucky it will be quite good battery in a HTC copy wrapper.
Another way to tell is get other buyers to forward the serial of battery, copies only have a few differing serials at best & normally just one.

Haha... now I'm worried about copy wrappers.
Original battery on the left and new one from Amazon link on the right. (I'm pretty sure... could have gotten them backwards). I'll go dig around for their serial numbers online and see what I find.

Hard to tell from that image. compare moulding on edges & how wrapper is folded around. Also look at water label & contacts. Original battery contacts are quality copper & look a bit satin if look at an angle but look shiny when view straight, copy batteries normally have a cheaper coated contact which is shiny at all viewing angles.
If it performs ok & charges without getting over hot don't worry about it too much.

They look exactly identical in every single aspect. So much so that I wouldn't know which was the originial if I hadn't taken a pic. No heat issues and I've been abusing the Netflix app testing both batteries.

You got a battery with the correct markings; at that price point, it is almost certainly a Chinese relacement. Be sure and report back after three charge cycles with the measured capacity.

We usually get what we pay for... so I wouldn't bet against you. I do plan on testing it under my normal usage after a few charge cycles and see how it does. I'm a medium to heavy user of batteries.

I'm a little leary; the photo says 1500, but the description says 1300...

Original batteries are heavier than these cheap rip-offs. They use the copy wrapper to mask their lesser capacity.

Some copy HTC batteries will be same weight or even heavier.
I have a fake HTC battery that I picked up for my Touch Pro, slightly heavier & performs as good as original but probably not for as long as original cell.
problem with copies is quality goes from trash to almost on par with original but with not much way of telling what you are going to get.
I went for a compact USB power pack as got bored of looking at fake HTC batteries & official HTC retail outlet prices can be ridiculous, plus swapping, booting & charging 2 cells is a pain at times.

Looking for relatively thin extended battery

Just bought a Note 2, currently I have a Galaxy S3 with the official extended battery. This gives a small increase in capacity (3000mAh) and also a small amount of thickness added on compared to standard.
Most of the extended batteries for the Note 2 are huge, I am curious to know if anyone has experienced any trusted extended batteries, possibly an extra 1000mAh+, but only adding a small thickness to the phone like the official one for S3, instead of the large batteries like Zerolemon etc.

I've been looking for something like that too. Haven't found one yet. I don't like the bulk that the big extended batteries add to the already huge device.

they are all double the size of the normal battery nothing thinner.

I dont see the point of buying a thin extended battery. If you want more battery life then get MORE battery life.

Well I don't need a battery that lasts for 4 days or whatever, just slightly longer than stock. And I do not wish to increase the thickness of the phone 2x, 3x etc for extra power that I don't need.
The genuine extended for the S3 was the perfect solution, I just wish similar existed for the Note 2.

I have had this same range for my HTC One X. When the battery feeds the device, it constantly told me that the power used is larger than it receives from the battery. So, this is bad!
When the device is off and the battery is full, it is possible to charge the internal device to approximately half full, so this is bad!
ut, worse is to come: My device dropped by accident and, because of this heavy load together with missing protection for the glass (device does NOT protect the face of the device!) the gorilla glass broke to several pieces.
So, unless this is a completely different type (which I doubt!), you better NOT try this one!

Oups ! Thank you very much , too bad, I ordered one already (I liked the idea)
20$ wasted but at least I know I should not use it - or if I do, use maximum caution
Thanks a lot for letting me know, I'll report back is I go crazy enough to try it

What puzzles me is how you supposed to connect it. The case has a built in battery with two pins sticking out in the back. Then you have 2 sets of conductive wires to run from the battery to the phone? Where do you connect it on the phone, wireless charging pins or something? If you have Verizon phone, those not even available on the back, etc.

It looks like something you have to put inside, between battery and connectors.
The end will stick out of the phone. I think it has some glue so it will stick somehow on the case.
After that's connected, you can put the phone onto the external battery and the metal tips of the external battery will fit 'nicely' the glued metal stuff.
My One X already had those connectors for connecting to car etc.
I sure would not like this adaptation of my phone...

Can I change the battery myself

So my Nexus' battery has gotten deteriorated after so much usage. I used Accubattery to find out the rating and it showed 2500 mAh after a full charge, which I think is pretty bad. The problem is that there are is no Nexus market where I live. Even the local phone shops say they cant change it. So I was thinking about ordering the battery online and doing it myself. But sadly, the battery is internal and I have no experience whatsoever with electronics. Has anyone changed the battery themselves? What do you think I should do.

Do you where i can find an original replacement online? Thanks (Dont know a lot about online ordering)

I guess eBay or Amazon, try to find a original one. May someone's here who already replaced one. I replaced it on my older phones, my nexus 6 battery is still good

I replaced mine a month ago. Not to difficult. The back cover is held on with double sided tape. Then 23 crazy small screws to remove. Thankfully they are all the same size. The 2 connectors to unclip from the main board and the mid frame hinges off from the top. The battery is glued onto the mid frame and the Qi charging coil is stuck on the battery. Carefully peel it off and put it on the new battery. Pay close attention to where you put it back as the connector end of the charging coil has to align with pads on the board. The replacement was bendable, and needed some tweaking to fit properly.
It took me about 45 minutes to complete.

Where did you purchase it from? I'm looking to replace mine too, but from the reviews I found many of them fail after a short period of time. Others lack reviews altogether. None of the Amazon listings look good to me and I don't know how legit the eBay ones are because it doesn't have reviews for specific products derived from specific sellers. The top two that seem the most legit to me are this eBay listing and Repairs Universe, from which I can't tell how legit it is.
Here's how mine held up today. I unplugged it at six this morning before I left for school and got home roughly an hour ago, so this is very close to not cutting it for me, especially on days where I'd have work in addition to school.

Got it on Amazon it was described as an OEM. Picked it out, screenshot to the GF, and it ended up under the Christmas tree.?

Newdery Huawei Honor 7x / Mate SE Battery Case 5000mAh

I beleive this is the first battery case for the 7x/SE. Purchased at 36 USD, but price has dropped to 30USD. I just recieved it from Amazon, seems to be a good case. Reminds me of a Nexus 4 with the back style of the case. Adds a hefty 5000mah of power, but case does not seem to be too heavy, I hope the capacity is accurate. Makes the bottom 3/4 of the phone twice as thick. Will update review with use but so far pleased with the quality of the case.

Edit: Not surprising but case usb does not have data.

The Android Oreo theme here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/themes/stock-oreo-theme-v0-1-t3738855 gives a similar navigation bar. It also changes other UI elements to stock Android O.

im on my 2nd case for this phone. first one the case wouldnt turn off and it got so got it burnt my finger. the replacement now only charges the phone for 3 secs then turns off. i got 2 refunds 1 for each time, stay away till they get the case right.

i really want this case, there are no other sellers selling any extended battery cases for the mate se, is it because the phone was released just several months ago? or not a popular phone?
i really hope they start making more cases, 4000mah is not enough, id be happy with that case you put a link too, total 9000mah!
i have a zerolemon battery for some of my other phones and i can't live without them anymore, i charged every 2 or 3 days with big battery, with stock battery i usually have to charge everynight
unfortunately that link you posted the dont ship to my country!

i ended up getting this case, it was a good case for travelling as i have almost 200 apps and my battery only last 1 day,
i only used it for travelling, so i put it on and off alot, i should of been more careful and the mini usb snapped off,
you have to be very careful, its fragile
i had to solder my own usb cord on it, now it's like a power bank, i wish i could get another one of these but the manufacturers stopped making them
