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?

i just noticed that the battery terminal polarity indicators are in the wrong position! lol!

Use the Battery tool for it. Search for HTC Debug Tool, it's in it.

I second that.
i ordered this

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.

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
Seems like any other chinese market or Ali Baba's hidden batteries yet they say they're genuine and come with HTC warranty lol. I tried to e-mail HTC and clarify this but I need to have a phone in order to do that and my HD7 is currently on its way to me ..

Hope you will provide good reviews from it ! Do you have it physically in hand or you got it ordered ? From my experience 3rd party batteries don't have the brand logo (due to copyright I guess). The one on that links seems to really be a HTC battery but it might aswell be just a random pic from the web ..
Looking forward to your feedback

got it from here:
http://www.htchd7accessories.com/
and i just ordered it ->Germany so not sure when it will arrive.
The more I look at it the more legit it seems .. Although I'd still want a proper response from HTC on this one. It would be great if someone who already has a HD7 would ask their mail support and paste it over here.
if you google for the part number:35H00143-01M most german/european pages told me 1230mAh.
could be the stock one.
anyway looks suspenseful.
I'm going to order the 1500 mah one and see how it goes. This phone should have come stock with a 1500 mah anyway, so i hope it works.

as i say, htc partnumer 35H00143-01M is a 1230 mah one. both pages sell 35H00143-01M but declare it as a 1500 mah battery.
would be great to know whats real. is it a 1500 mah one or 1230 mah stock htc.
thank you
I also think is misslabelled. I'd love a 1500 mAh battery but it sounds to good to be true that we get so early a bigger battery

is the hd7 battery the same as the hd2?
What about the same as the evo or tp2?
Just curious, because there are some decent batteries out there for those 2 devices.

Unfortunately no. In order for them to squeeze the size on this they had to change up the battery size. I have my sources and so far none of them can actually put their hands on anything larger than the OEM battery so far. The ones advertised are not A Grade 1230mAH batteries.
If my sources can get a hold of them I am a direct importer/manufacturer of Cell Phone Accessories. I might try for a group buy. Air Freight from China is not cheap for small orders. I do not advertise here due to the fact we sell to national retailers and have never setup to handle small quantity items. We are toying with the idea at the moment.
If I find something I will post. I might start a group buy on something for the HD7's. Manufacturers are starting to get the molds completed on this phone from what i have been told.

great post ... what are you basing this info on ?
anyway i sent the company an email asking them to provide some evidence of the 1500mAh. If I do not receive any I will reject the Paypal payment and not accept the battery at all.
Lets see how that goes.

Read the post above yours. You can be told all you want. It has been proven that batteries even from top suppliers are not as good as some of the OEM at a lesser mAH. Since I am in the business I have already asked by agents in China.
Search for it. I am sure Seidio or the likes will produce something soon. there is not a lot of room in the battery bay to make a larger battery than perhaps a 1500mAH before you have to get a custom back cover.
Not trying to rain on your parade just being realistic. The HD7 needs a bigger battery. It's battery life is not that great but its not that bad.
Apologies in advance, I could not post proper links for this review due to my low post count.
Background
I ordered a Nexus 10 on November 20th, 2012. Initially, I was pleased by the battery life (~6.5 hours). Probably a bit like the "Boiling Frog" metaphor, the battery life degraded and I didn't notice it. I began to notice the battery degradation recently when my tablet began doing the 0% battery shutdown at ~30%.
First thing I did was get on the phone with Google, to see if I could get them to warranty the battery. Being a couple of months out of warranty, I wasn't expecting it to work, but it couldn't hurt. Denied. So, I called Samsung. After two hours and 8 different technical support phone numbers, they couldn't recognize my tablet serial number. I'm guessing it was unrecognized (which is no excuse, by the way) because I bought it on the Google Play Store. Besides all that, they didn't recognize the product name, kept calling it strange stuff like Nexus 10.1 or Nexus Note. They told me they would research and return my call at a later time.
My Nexus 10 is a daily driver with a minimum of 3 hours of use a day and often over 6. After impatiently waiting a few days, I began to panic. I began to believe that I had paid ~$500 for a device that, after a few more cells died, was going to be an expensive brick. I did some research and could find NO reviews on the NewPower99 battery kit, and since I felt that my options were relatively few, I decided to take the plunge.
Kit Contents and Cost
Ordered from Amazon for $75.41 (shipping and taxes included)
1 Cameron Sino 9000 mAh 33.3Wh Lithium-Polymer Battery Pack
One tiny screw screwdriver
Two tiny plastic prying tools
One plastic video disk (Not sure what it does, they special players can spin it fast and a video will play(!!??))
The Replacement and Pitfalls
Rather than using the included plastic video disk, I searched YouTube until I found the video: NewPower99 by NewLife2OldStuff. It's a great primer for this battery replacement, but there are a few parts where the disassembler's chubby fingers get in the way of disconnecting connectors. I suggest watching a few other Nexus 10 teardown videos prior to the actual teardown.
Prior to this, I had not attempted any mobile device disassembly/assembly. I did break a little insulation on the video card connector on the main board but this is due to me only watching the NewPower99 video and missing a detail (pull the display cable rather than flip the connector). Also due to how delicate the internals are, I did not push the display connector in far enough, which led to the display power being spotty. So, I had to redisassemble the tablet a few days later and reconnect it. Had I done more research and been a bit more patient, I'm sure the replacement would have been flawless.
The aftermath
My tablet has not yet exploded. As a matter of fact, one week in, I'm amazed. I've fell back in love with my tablet. Since the battery replacement, I usually don't need to charge until the end of the day. I run a conservative brightness on the display and, of course, that helps. Also, while I've done no metrics, I believe I've seen an unintended improvement: the charge time has improved. It was not unusual for me to plugin during sleep and still not have a full charge in the morning, which I haven't seen happen since battery replacement.
At a later time, I intend to respond to this post with an unscientific update on the battery's life. If the battery life stays relatively the same, I wouldn't really mind yearly replacement at this battery's warranty limitation and probably expected minimum life. Small price to pay for great battery life and a very underrated tablet.
Also, Samsung did, finally, return my support call a few days ago but I never called back. Don't call me, I'll call you .
Light Statistics (screenshots below)
~11:46 battery time
~6:45 display on time (top battery user)
~1:45 RetroArch (runner up top battery user)
These aren't really shabby for this tablet. Non-scientifically: the display was at ~25% brightness (in-house usage) >95% of the time, and never went below that. ~3-5% of the time the display was 100% (outdoors).
Program usage was an ordinary day of tablet use.
Not going to lie this is quite an informative post since the battery went bad over the course of a year later... I don't use my tablet as much as I first used to, but with all this android tech talk and new phones coming out at this time I use it more than I normally have (and also for the room 2 love that game!). I will definitely subscribe to this post so I have it handy if/when my battery starts doing the same thing as well in due time.
Thanks for this thread. My tablet has been going to 0% when it reaches 15%. So I've been looking to get a replacement battery. Cheers mate.

Wow, that's an impressive price and I definitely would have taken it from there. I can't really speak about any company's reliability in general but the newpower99 thing worked well in my case. The only thing I'd have to say about getting it directly from cameroninobattery.com is finding those tiny tools; it shouldn't be that difficult at all (definitely worth the $50 to find them!). Still loving the battery life. :good:

I am extremely disappointed by my options to keep my nexus 10 going strong. I love the tablet... w/ its current screen resolution i really have NO reason to upgrade to a new device... however right now NO ONE carries this part. If google is NOT going to support having replaceable batteries, and there are no 3rd party options, we are all simply buying disposable electronics... its ridiculous.
Right now it is out of stock everywhere and there are 2 shady listings on ebay. Extremely disapointed with this.

I am going through this right now! I am not sure if I should buy from the sketchy eBay listings or what. I tried NewPower99 but claim to have none in stock due to a production issue. It is almost as if Samsung went after the 3rd party that made the battery so they could not sell it. My tablet is out of warranty and I have no idea what to do as its worth nothing to trade in and I don't have the $$$ for a new tablet. If anyone has any suggestions or bought a replacement battery and hasn't used or opened it and would be willing to part with it I may be interested in buying.

I am having the same problem. Nobody has the battery. So I finally found something on Alibabba and ordered it straight from china for something like $35 (through a friend's account, so I don't have the details at the moment). I expect it will take at least a month to get here. I hope it works and lasts, cheap batteries rarely work out very well in the long term.... but what choice do I have? This is a $500 tablet that is not that old! It now powers down at 70% battery, usually less than an hour playing a game

Just a (size 0?) phillips (you can pull off the cover to see the screw size). If it fits one, it'll fit all you need to get it pulled off. :good:
Somewhat offtopic, I might end up getting the new Nexus tablet, regardless. The center of my screen has started getting a brown burn-in color, most visible when the screen is white. Which is quite a shame, this tablet is still plenty peppy for me (it's my fastest development device), and have no other problems with the device at all (the battery still shines). The monitor life was probably accelerated by the high sleep time (10 or 30 minutes, don't remember which one) since it's a development machine I keep it on between compiles so it's there when I need it. :crying:

hi,
i am also facing the same issue. request you to intimate if you can find one in india?
Anyone bought from here/?? I have just ordered it.. cross my fingers..

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
Please look at the photo I have posted (zoom in to see the details) with this post to the thread. I am referring to the "Wireless Charging Pack" which is actually a cover for the Note 5 from Samsung, which has a battery built into it, which wirelessly charges the phone while the cover is on. The cover only covers the back, not the front (including the camera lens on the back as it contains a battery) but wirelessly charges the phone while it is on the phone (I have read in the description it has a switch on it which allows you to turn the wireless charging on and off, so essentially this is Samsung's version of a Mophie cover). You can use the phone normally (except for the camera of course) while the phone has this on it. The attached photo I got from this link (you have to scroll down a ways to find it): http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note5/charging/. Thoughts? It is currently not for sale on the Samsung accessory web site. Does anyone have one and what do they think of it? Does anyone know where to get one?
Looks pretty interesting.

We got a discussion about it going on there but none of the answers you want. the device is still a bit of a mystery as a lot of online retailers are not showing stock.
I am still looking for one as well...

No, that's not it. Look at the photo I posted - it's also a case
Anybody have any ideas? http://www.samsung.com/global/galax...mages/galaxy-note5_charging_power-to-go_l.jpg

I did live chat with the Samsung Support reps and they said to call the Samsung Support line and I would be able to order one (that they were available). Here is the number: "1-855-SAM-USA1 (1-855-726-8721) 9am – 9pm ET, 7 days a week". Has anyone gotten one that can report on what they think of it?
Price?
I am not ready to order one so I didn't call. Give them a buzz and let us know

I was all about this until it set in that it covers the camera. What a waste. Had it not been for that the form factor on this looks stellar. Oh well...

Yes but you need to think of what is being asked here. With our current technology, batteries must be rectangular to work, and cannot have holes in them. So to have a hole for the camera would be to have to make the battery shorter (and maybe thicker to make up for that) and currently this case already adds alot of thickness as far as I have heard. So there's not much of an alternative! I believe the designers also probably thought it might not be such a big concern as well - because how much more often do you use the phone for other things - other than for the camera - most of the time, right?

They could have used 3 batteries to get around the camera. Would have increased the price a lot i am sure though.
Yes I was thinking that as well.

I live in the US. Not available for shipment here...
http://promo.samsungpromotions.com/giftsoftheseason/
Charging case is included in both pack promotions.
Did you end up getting the wireless charger pack? When you posted the reply about the gift promotion offers I looked and didn't see one... But I looked now again and the offers are no longer there. Last time I talked to Samsung on the phone they said it would be available in January... Samsung is still not offering it on their website, I noticed however, and calling that same Samsung order line I am told it is a 30 minute wait just to talk to someone - so I gave up on that. Anyone have anything on these?
They could have totally have the cut out for the camera. There's an impression for it. They could have just continued and sliced that bad boy open. I got $100 that the next version of it will feature a hole for the camera and flash. Looks good though.
BTW, what the heck color option of a Note 5 is that? That thing looks sexy as hell!!!
