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.

Not to thread-crap, but here's James' email: Email:[email protected]
Otherwise, you may click on the link provided by exlixx earlier.

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.

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 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...

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

What should Samsung do to make its customers loyal to its brand? And why should we?

With all those troubles, possible crazy crowd of in-store swapping, burned jeep and not allowing to use its Phone in the flights, should it reward its most loyal customers if they decide to stay with Samsung? Or give the customers a reason to be loyal?
Right now, the price tag they put is pathetic 25 bucks, for all those sure problems. Leaving the questions and uncertainties to us:
1. Should I trust them and believe it really fixed the problem in about one week (while not knowing it in a one year development cycle)?
2. Could it pose a new risk in its rush to fix the old problem?
3. Did it fix that stuck pen problem also, which I thought be the major complaint about this phone before the explosion?
4. When will likely the FAA lift the Samsung phone restriction? Am I going to have problem to travel with Samsung phone (not just Note 7, as they all look similar) in the coming months?
5. With all those trouble, minus 25 bucks, Note 7 still the most expensive phone in the market. And its price could go down a lot in the coming months, with all those recalls phones(refurbished?), and the damage to the reputation, possibly making its most loyal customers very frustrated with their top bids even there is no more issues afterwards.
I am a loyal Android and Samsung Note user, or was. However, with the most current FAA news, I am seriously considering Iphone 7 Plus now (which is also cheaper), when I still have an option.
Thoughts?

Samsung should not have to bribe you to be "loyal"...honestly, I don't believe in "loyalty" to a brand. What I am loyal to is the spen....another manufacturer makes a pen as good as samsung rest assure I will drop samsung.
It is up to you to stick it out, return your device and wait for the price to drop as you have said...and buy it, or you can just drop it all together and go to another device. Their 25 bucks is their reward...you take it or you leave it.
P.S I didn't realize "stuck pen" was the major complaint about the phone lol...mine been working fine all around. How is the pen being stuck? I saw a post somewhere that someone pushed the pen in too deep and it got stuck...all they did was wiggle it out and all was good....is that what you are talking about?

bye bye, and enjoy your iphone

^^^^ I don't think he liked your comment very much lol

I'm lucky that work will comp my phone. I will wait a couple of more months. My Note 4 is still going strong. I replaced the battery 6 months ago and it's like new. I reviewed ifixit for the Teardown of the Note 7 Doesn't look so bad to get to the battery. Sealing it back up shouldn't be too bad. I don't plan on getting my phone wet. I have to deal with iDevices at work and at home from time to time. I can't have an iPhone as a daily driver. It doesn't work out for me. I need calendar widgets, I need customization, I need an adblocker...

1. Billions of Li-ion batteries were made, they're all the same. Factory that messed up no longer supplies batteries for Note7, if I stop trusting Samsung, may as well stop trusting all Li-ion batteries makers.
2. as far as I understand it, there is nothing to fix, just properly follow manufacturing process and catch errors. The following and catching somehow didn't work at one plant, that is no longer involved.
3. what stuck pen? If clicking mechanism fails, just like in a pen, there is free replacement. never happened on mine.
4. Getting our government involved is a nightmare that may never end, they have no clue. Just FYI Boeing 787 have whole bunch of Li-ion batteries on board, that burst into serious fires in past, if I remember at least one cargo plane catch fire and crashed while carrying Li-ion batteries few years back. I thought total ban on use of any electronics during take off and landing was still in place? I have no idea how this will end, but there were other phones catching fire before, including iphone? Maybe not to the same degree, but nothing was recalled and taken off market either.
5. I could swear I've seen 64GB 6s for $850 as well, but maybe I'm wrong, didn't pay much attention.
I'll go with other poster, give me something similar to N7 with spen, I would have no problem switching and that LG phone with stylus, was LG afraid of even pretending it was trying to compete with Note series? Was it trying to create new market, like "poor man Note phone", I don't know, but can somebody tell LG used old Note 2 and Note 3 are still available for better price.

Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app

Both of mine are not listed as refurbs. However on one of my boxes (the silver one )I do have new labels over the old labels. It was either done to add the black square and v2 or they removed the batteries of existing unsold units and replaced them. My black one only has the new label. I would bet samsung popped the back off of devices not yet shipped and threw new batteries in them. I wonder if they also changed something serial number wise that is maybe giving the app false positives.

Mine says original.. how accurate is this app? That would be messed up if Samsung is shipping refurb.
At the same time, if they popped up the phones and exchanged the batteries BEFORE they ever went out, would that really be considered used or refurb?

Mine shows original and manufactured on 09/09/2016. Also shows made in China.

Switching a battery shouldn't have anything to do with the date of manufacture and since no one else is reporting theirs saying it's refurbished I'm taking it back and swapping it out.

Just checked my says original.

So went and swapped my phone again and then this happens! Guess the first one was just a weird phone. Happy I'm on an original one now!

Mine is an original. I applied the new update, so rooting is out. Cool thing is, they accidentally rung the exchange up as a purchase, so the phone cost me $0.00!

What does you mean that rung the exchange as a purchase? I think that's what they are suppose to do. Do a return for the old phone that do a purchase for the replacement.

Peeling glass back

Anyone experienced this?
https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-4-xl-back-panel-issue-1138848/

Nobody?

Guess not. All good on mine since last October :good::good:

Nope, but my fist P4 I had the screen glass start lifting and separating from the chassis. My replacement hasn't had either of these issues though.

So it isnt a common problem.

I don't think so. Mine has been fine since launch day and I haven't heard of this until recently. For what's it worth I charge wireless 90% of the time.

I wasn't aware of this, but it sure is concerning. I took the case off my 4 XL to check every corner and inch of the back glass to see if there was anything similar, and I didn't see anything. I've had my 4 XL since March but only started using it as my primary device yesterday. It doesn't appear to be a common problem, but I think it also has to do with usage (wear/tear). I know some people forget their phones in the car and leave it in hot temperatures, so that could be a cause or if your phone heats up too much from charging and using simultaneously. These are just theories that come to mind; nothing is confirmed, of course. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully, this doesn't become a common issue.

I think at this point in time it's hard to tell how widespread it is. There are plenty of people on Reddit who say it's happening to them but my guess would be it's probably a small percentage of overall users. I think only time will tell how widespread the problem really is.

Google has also responded to the issue through one of the big Android news sites and stated that this issue is not being caused by the battery swelling or the battery in any way at all. I figured I'd add that to this thread as before this statement it was starting to seem as if there was a battery defect that was starting to arise. They didn't claim what DID cause the lifting glass but at least it"s not a battery issue. I'd wager its a mix of how the user is taking care of the phone mixed with subpar adhesive.

I am.
While this issue has been documented all over. ifixIt has even into details why. I have this issue on a massive level. I haven't not contacted tmo or Google about it yet. I keep it in a favor case. It is a serious problem, and in my case it's really bad!

I read some of the comments of the news article and some people had it happen to them multiple times. It made me suspicious about how they were using their phones and if it was a specific habit that was causing damage. I know Google claims it's not to do with the battery, but there are certain habits that definitely cause battery swelling. I keep wanting to jump to that conclusion.

I have the same issue
I tried to glue the peeled area and it got broken ...

I had my first Pixel 4 XL since launch as a daily driver for 6 months and didn't have that issue. I always charge the phone with a wire and never wireless.

Quote from a 9To5Google article (for what it's worth):
uBreakiFix has confirmed to 9to5Google that while this person claiming to be an employee may have a theory on the issues facing Pixel 4 owners, they “defer to manufacturers regarding alleged device issues, and have no known technical service bulletins regarding battery-related issues in the Pixel 4 series.”

I do have this problem. I became aware of it after reading several articles online and peeling my 4 XL out of the case for the first time ever to check for this issue.
I was rejected by Google Device Support because of minor physical damage to the lower part where the fabric case does not protect the device.
I had it repaired (glued together again) with my provider , but it start's to come loose again. I am really not happy with Google's policy on this issue.
This voids IP ratings and even though Google said it doesn't have to do anything with the battery swelling, I am concerned (the second time it started from the middle, not the corner).

I have had my Pixel 4 XL since launch, so almost last 8-9 months. I baby the phone, clean it regularly, and have an established charging cycle. I examined it closely and have not found this issue. Everything looks good and like it was when I first bought the phone. I wish Google would say what is causing the issue, if it is not the battery.

I've had the phone since launch. I just recently got my replacement device from Google after having this issue.
The online chat was a nice experience and they just asked a few questions about it and made me send them some pictures.
At first they said it was due to a physical drop because i did have some scuffs on the side. But they ended up replacing it anyways.

Glad to hear that they did what was right and replaced the phone for you. What are your thoughts on what caused your Pixel's glass to peel?

Battery habits mainly.
I had damaged batteries in the past, I charge my device over night "Bad me".
I never had time to watch phones charge stop at 90%, say if you have 90% before you sleep what do you have in the morning if the device is not being charged 60%
Yes I know what experts say but I just can not will not follow these instructions.
I go home the phone has 60% battery life, I put it on a charger.
Wake up the device is fully charged.
I hate battery technology "swelling batteries" should not happen.

I've used an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S(dev device) and a Note 3 as desk clocks... always plugged in. All of them suffered swelling batteries popping the device apart within a year.
Currently on the desk is a 5 year old Note 5, but it's rooted and prevented from charging past 60%. I expect it will never have this issue.
