HD2 Extended Battery at clove.co.uk

Got an email from clove.co.uk telling me these bad boys are now shipping.

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.

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.

The Nexus S Has The Worst Accessories And Support Known To Man.

Title speaks for itself. Samsung needs to step it up as well as third party distributors.

I agree but it is what it is. You cant complain, they need to make things that are going to sell and unfortunately there just arnt enough ns users to be worth the bother of making a bunch of accessories.

I am totally against what OP said.
I have batteries granfathered from Behold II and Moment and they work 10000%.
Soft and hard cases are available now.
I don't worry about charger because it's microUSB.
It doesn't have memory support so you have one fewer headache.
What else do you want?

Lapdock 100

I was considering buying the Lapdock 100 today from AT&T or Sprint, since Verizon doesn't have it yet.
Has anyone else done this? I heard it would work for the Bionic, but then their little ** said it may need a software update. If anyone has any insight, please let me know, its either that new lapdock for $250, or my friends selling me his regular bionic lapdock for $200...
Or I just go buy an Asus EEE Transformer or Galaxt Tab lol

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

i will bump this. picked up my lapdock 100 for 168 (work discount). The bionic DOES fit in the little slot, even with the extended battery, its very tight though. I can see one modding this by taking the rubber out so itll fit better. No pic because i dont have a cam besides my phone but i have reg pics. has built in speakers, and i hooked up a wireless logitech mouse to it. when i went in they tried to sell me the bionic specific one that cost 100 dollars more i think, but i said i wanted the 100 thats 200 bucks. they didnt know if it would work or not, but they unplugged the one on the sales floor and it started right up. Right now my only gripe is the mousepad feels a little flimsy, but that was easily solved with a wireless mouse.

I picked one up for my wife yesterday for her Bionic. This thing is awesome.
One thing I didn't realize is that it doesn't have a headphone jack. And having to sync a bluetooth headset quickly wasn't going to be good for answering a phone call privately. But I discovered that you can still plug in a headset into the Bionic's headset jack while it is connected to the lapdock and still be able to place the phone into the cradle in the back.
This thing just made my wife's Bionic that much cooler and useful.

I guess I spoke too soon. The trackpad or a usb mouse periodically stops working. I tried unplugging and even did a battery pull and still stops working after a little while.

I'm not having this problem, yet. been using since yesterday afternoon. I haven't had any phone calls since I've started using it...so I don't know if there are problems related with that...

I noticed that the problem occurs most often when I put the Bionic into the holder in the back. I don't know why that is though. This morning I had trouble with it but I just tried again and it worked but I didn't put the Bionic into the holder.
Hopefully the update will make it more compatible.

Maybe, if you can let me know if you have the same problem when you place the bionic into the rear holder. I'm not sure if the rubber part touching the screen has anything to do with it.

I picked up the Lapdock 100 yesterday. It's been working great and I haven't noticed any issues. I do get the unrecognized usb device icon at the top of the screen when nothing is plugged into the usb ports. When I plug something into the usb port it is recognized and runs as I would expect it.
Anyone know of any tweaks that can be done to webtop? I have absolutely no experience with linux so am a little hesitant to get started.

there are three that come to mind.

I have performed all of these hacks and it makes for a vary smooth running netbook

it does not have a headphone jack but you can still plug headphones into your phone and up in the corner of the lapdock you can switch the sound to the phone. the 100 is junk compaired to the bionic one. the 100 is all cheap plastic and the bionic one is aluminum and just looks so mutch better. i have the bionic one. the razr will also fit in that as well.

I was debating this too but honestly I think I'm gonna go for the Transformer Prime, because I need a new laptop but I can't afford to buy more than one extra item right now in that price range, and now that there is at least a simple IDE for coding Java made for tablets, I have no reason to get a new laptop when i can put the keyboard on the prime. I'd love the lapdock because I wouldn't have to pay extra for monthly data but in my case I just need something closer to an actual computer and I think the prime might cover that a little more than the lapdock. IDK i've never used the lapdock.

Nice pictures Cool_story_bro, I was wondering if you tried plugging in an external HD to one of those USB ports.
Thanks!

I purchased one of the 100 docks from a Verizon Wireless store yesterday. I was forced to pay the full 199.99 price, as I was told that my corporate discount could not be used with this device. (Bummer) So far it has met or exceeded all of my expectations. I have ran into the low memory error when I had too many firefox tabs open, but overall I am impressed. I love the fact that it will basically replace my need for a netbook. With some productive Android apps, as well as some nice web apps bookmarked, I am ready to give this thing a true run. BTW, I am posting this response using the dock and it's keyboard.
Edit: Recent Bionic OTA has practically done away with low memory error.

I had mine a week when it started doing the same. I noticed that if I put the phone in the slot in the back it would happen. If I left the phone on the table connected everything was fine. I now use a sticky jelly pad and lay the bionic flat over the slot. (just a little paranoid about it breaking again)

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.

I got my phone back today from the shop, according to the notes on the service bill the battery had overheated and shorted the mainboard. The case and screen survived but rest had been replaced.

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.

i am going to assume that i dropped it sometime in the morning and when i checked at night it was like this( dont ask me how it happened, i had no idea until like 10 minutes ago)
1) i assume normal warranty from ASUS will not cover this, correct?
2) i assume i will have to send it in to ASUS for repairs, right?
3) can anybody get me a legit email or number i can contact ASUS? (USA)
4) damn, life sucks.
it's funny because technically my screen is still 100% perfect, no physical scratch at all. i keep telling myself i might be able to fix it myself somehow if i open up the case, but until a professional comes in and tells me otherwise....
i sent out a couple emails to whom it might concern, otherwise my other options are -> try to get a hold of asus so i can start the repair process or......... buy a new one, maybe an 8GB?
on a side note, what is currently the cheapest place i can buy a nexus 7 these days? [USA]

yeah bought it from play store on june 28 2012,
i was reading upon other people who is in the similiar spot as i am, and they said all GOOGLE did was push them to aSUS and aSUS just told them to start up a RMA and it will be filed as an "out of warranty/customer-induced damage".

yeah I had considered buying a new one too.
it sucks because Asus won't quote you an repair price until they actually have their hands on it. which means I have to waste shipping fees and my own time when I might have an option to get a brand new 8gb sonewhere. I read that Asus charges anywhere from 100-180.... yikes

Probably won't help at this point, but you can get 3rd party warranties that include accidental damage coverage. I got one from Squaretrade for $35 for 2 years. Hoping to never use it, but just cracked my phone screen last week and considering sending it in (phones have a $50 deductable so I'm not sure it's worth it... until it gets dropped in the toilet...).

yeah I seen a lot of posts about square trade from other forums I been reading. normally I'm ultra care about my tech stuff. (my first time experiencing a infamous "cracked screen") so third party warranties never really occurred to me.

ZOMG! It physically hurt me to look at that picture. Oh damn! Sorry man...
Call up Google, explain what happened and pray... But I'm pretty sure they are going to send you to Asus to pay $150 to replace the screen...

Would your home contents insurance not cover it?

This.
You'd be surprised/amazed what homeowners/renters insurance will cover.

dam i need to be more careful, i leave my tablet on my bed when i sleep and sometimes i knock it off while i sleep or even when im watching a video it might fall off if i move it, luckily nothing like that yet

My cat pee'd on my monitor, rang insurance and explained what happened, full replacement...was stoked as it was an expensive monitor!
If they cover that, surely they will cover dropping the N7

I actually threw my nexi face down on hard tiles by accident while turning around as my mum called me from the kitchen. Luckily I had the case on and I found no damage on it at all. The only problem I found was that the wifi toggle switch had been frozen, so I just reset it
SO ANYONE READING THIS POST BUY A GODDAMN CASE!!
