HTC HD7 3500 mAHExtended Life Battery with Replacement Back Cover (pictures) - HD7 General

Hi
Just Pictures for now will try to post usage sometimes later
Anyone else got these? feedback would be appreciated
UK EABY
HIGH EXTENDED 3500mAH Battery for HTC HD 7 HD7 + Cover
Ordered from the Above link
As you can see it spoils the beauty of the HD7 but I guess its worth it only if you plan to use your phone for a long day trip or something if you are taking photos.
Its China made and looks like hand made, bit rough if you know what I mean, still wondering whether I should use it or not, as I don't really use my HD7 that much

Holy cow! that looks ugly hehe!

good lord thats immense! what sort of life do you get out of that thing?

Trust me.
I Just put it in and took it out straight away. It made my sexy phone look horrendous.
I rather have low battery life then carry that around so that battery is lying in the corner unless someone wants to buy it off

That is ugly as hell.
But I can see it being useful if you go hiking or biking a lot; you would get a lot of GPS-mapping done with that battery and the phone itself could just be attached to your bike or your bag. You wouldn't want it in your pocket though.

bought that same battery from a vendor here in the US... The phone doesn't seem to "recognize" it's larger capacity... all system info/system view apps still show the batt as the 1230 maH... once the battery indicator goes low, and the orange LED starts flashing and the low battery warning pops up, I can shut down the phone, pull and re-insert the battery, power it back on and it shows about 50% battery again for a couple hours...

I have it.
I have this battery, i can stay up for 4 days without charging it, but when it goes down to drain level and orange light comes up i have to take the battery off and start phone again to see the battery's rest of the capacity left. I use Deepshining V2.0 and i use the phone with wifi once a day to pick up new apps but i don't talk much. Overall i am OK with it despite the phone doesn't see full capacity

Ugly son of a b'tch.

Galilio 2000mAh Extended Slim Battery

I just bought a Galilio 2000MaH battery, and I wanted to share with you all what a great value it is. After a full drain and charge, I got an additional 4-5 hours out of my phone than I normally did with moderate to heavy usage
For $15, I can use my phone far more than I could with the stock battery.
Running CM7 with stock kernel.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150594275802?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The reason some people report poor battery life from the extended battery is because its likely they didn't drain/charge the battery up before evaluating.
If you have any questions I'd love to be of assistance

Looks good.
Imagine the life you'd get with Scarykernel Stable, 200mhz min, 1.5ghz max and Scary governor.
ummm
No offense but that doesnt look like much use or that great battery life. I can run shoutcast using winamp 4 or 5 hours straight with bluetooth on also s little web page time and hsve 30 to 40% nattery left. If bored let your phone down n do the same. I have the chicitec 1550 that htcexpress falsley advertises as a 1900
I recently bought the galileo and i noticed only about 10% more life using it versus the stock battery. I cant complain for the 6$ i spent on it. I mostly dont like the fact that it doesn't have the temperature readings.
It's actually slightly less than a stock battery not more, but for $6 it's a great deal I have 2!
63 cents
sears.com has a supposed 2000 mha for .63., $2.52 shipping i think.
mine shipped today.
probably more like a 1550 overstated deal like the rest lol. if it's 1750 i'd be amazed.
*Shipped on 6th arrived on the 8th not too shabby.
Charging now we'll see
same
Charged the Sears 2000 (lol) it took 4208 mv's according to battery calibration app, about the same as my chicitec 1900 (lol). I think they're both 1550's. A bit better than stock.
I bought 2 Galilio "2000mAh" batteries and, on a tip from someone else, peeled the labels of to see that both were stamped 1000mAh by whoever manufactured them.
They work, but don't last nearly as long as stock. Maybe they use different batteries and throw there labels on them? I don't know, just know there's a risk.
bought one. fully charged/discharged about 6 times, averaging around 10 hours. my stock battery got at least 12 hours.
i think i got a dud.

Won't Charge in OEM Cradle

(This is separate from the Empty Battery, Can't Charge issue)
Sometimes when I place the Gear into the cradle (in correct orientation) for a charge, nothing will happen. The watch is on, the battery is not fully depleted.
It's very frustrating.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I had a similar issue recently. I didn't think it was charging, but after 15 minutes on the cradle it had gained significant battery level. I rebooted it afterwards and it acted like normal when charging.
This has happened to me a few times recently. Opening and closing the cradle seems to fix it. Sometimes a few tries is required.
I've noticed the gold on the contacts on the watch are wearing out and the contacts are starting to get dents in them. So I think the cradle is not making a good connection all the time. Seems like the contact material is too soft and cheap...

Wow, are those just dirt or actual dents in the metal?
Mine looks brand new, and still doesn't charge.
Dents where the gold coating has worn away. I've had it since October last year and have charged it every day, sometimes twice a day.

That's very interesting, so you're saying that is actually charging even though the Android OS doesn't indicate with the charging icon.

I'm saying it could be the case. I felt mine getting warm and noticed a significant jump in battery power in a short time. If it is charging, it won't take long to prove it.

Poor battery life

My device is not very old. It's about 1 year now and battery isn't as good as it used to be. When I got it after school I had minimum 50% no matter what I've been doing and atm it's 24% which is disturbing.

Check for battery health in 7378423 to see if it had any wear out in battery capacity. Mine is 31460 (1+ year, when buy it is 32000, Sony is always add more to make the battery last longer )
And check for any apps that run out of battery, malware too (There are some Android malware which mine Bitcoin/Litecoin and make phone hot and run out of battery)
Also check your kernel setting or reflash ROM if nessesary.......
Mine is 1,5-2 day battery life with typical behavior.......
Well, my battery says 31440 when at 86% of charge. I haven't got many wake locks in betterbatterystats either so I'm not sure what could be the cause. I'm on stock kernel. Thanks for the heads up on that mining malware. I had no idea it went over to mobile devices. My phone actually gets a bit hot after some regular usage, but nothing out of ordinary I guess. I did lots of mods to the stock rom on my own so I'm not that keen on reflashing. I'd rather find out what could be the cause of that poor battery life and fix it by myself.
Any other suggestions and things to try?
You can reinstall your Firmware, and see if the battery life would be better. And my Wakelocks have i solved with the App DS Battery Saver.
Strangely enogh my battery was at 2880 after only 140 charge cycles.
Then by accidient it deep discharged (problems with not charging, hard reset etc. until it was fully 100% dead) and now is back at 3130 with only the first charge cycle counted as 1.
Not the case here since your's has a good number, but I wanted to add this information.

[HARD MOD] Additional battery parallel connected

Hello,
It's been some time and some devices since I was wannted to try this dirty hack. My good old GT-P6800 has successfully avoided this fate, my SM-T705 has not.
So, the theory is like that. You can connect virtually any Li-Ion batteries by attaching plus to plus and minus to minus and achieving and thus capacities will be summed.
So, I purchased a battery from aliexpress.com an attached it to original battery wires red to red, black to black.
Then I had to cut a rectangle hole in tablet's back housing cover to let it close with that battery onboard. To protect battery (li-ion battery has to be protected) I use TPU cover.
It looks like that

}
And the actual effect
Now, from original 6-7 hours I got 15-18 hours on battery, while time to charge to top is now somewhere about 7-7.5 hours.
Need to mention, that original capacity calculation algorithm based on MAX17050 chip is adapted for original battery (obviously), so has to be overridden with custom software patch to kernel.
I agree, this mod isn't aimed to mass user, but the experience itself I find really interesting.
18hours screen on time? This looks really cool. But hey now you got and extra 8-9 hours of spare battery
-DUHA
I would say extra 10-12 hours.
wow that is one hard core mod! How long does it take to charge it to full?
Oh, totally forgot to mention, about 7 hours.
Hi, i know it's a 5 year post. What happended to green wires ? and i think the battery you used had just black and red cables?
Hi, I know I am necroposting and I'm sorry for that. But how do I inform the kernel of the new capacity?

I think he doesn't. It should work fine without any extra settings.

Battery Case for OnePlus 8T

This may sound weird but I'm not satisfied with the batter life of this phone.
Is there any battery case available or do you make one yourself?
Unfortunately, The Latter.
Here's mine!
Now finally the claims of "2 day battery life" sees the light of day.

I couldn't get my hands on Epoxy resin or silicon sealant so hot glue FTW, for now.
To not make it look ugly I just stuck a piece of torn jeans on top to make it bearable.
6Ah Li Po battery, 1A Power bank board, Portronics L-shaped USB-C cable, lots of hot glue, a flatback sacrificial case and patience are all you need to make one yourself.
Technical but it seems too ugly
Cool stuff!
hey, you could try to use someone's 3D printer and software to create a much cleaner housing/case for the external battery

ideally for strength I would go with CNC milling aluminium, or better yet, mill a new chassis and add 2x 4Ah cells in series, since the battery inside is 2x 2250mAh in series for 7.2v, but I'm working with what i have for the moment
I have ordered Battery case for my brand new One Plus 8T Araceli 10000 Mah since 22 days but still I have not received my order yet but trust me it look so great and exciting for the order. You guys must check out on AliExpress. SIPOTEK

I like this battery case
it's mind-blowing,,,
I actually just registered on this forum just so I could congratulate you on your work of art! I was looking for a battery case for my OnePlus 8t and found this post... I probably will not get around to duplicating your success... but I also had the same idea. At long last, I'm surrendering my Note 4 from 2015 with its ZeroLemon 10,000 mah battery which would go at least 2 days often 5 between charges. I joked that I could go on a 3-day drinking adventure and when I sober up my phone would still work to tell me where I'm at! Just kidding of course... I hardly drink. Anyway, your kind shall triumph! Ha ha! Keep up the handiwork!
Interesting work
