Found this article on CNEt Asia (hope they don't mind) where there is mor than a rumor that HTCwill provide an extended battery pack, making the device more bulky.
http://asia.cnet.com/digitalliving/ask/0,3800004928,62042419,00.htm
let's hope it comes soon..
If it makes my device as Touch Pro... i prefer to buy a Touch Pro!
One of the things that make Diamond a special device is that it is NOT bulky!
seido will start making these things as well.
for example:
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=879
and this doesnot make your diamond more bulky. according to seido they will have accessoires from the end of july.

I doubt that an extended battery would almost double the depth of the diamond. (Touch = 1.6x as deep as the Diamond) Even if it did, it would be optional. the keyboard part of the Pro isn't.
Since battey life is my only remaining concern with the Diamond, that 3rd party extended battery is sounding very good...

Shame that's the one for the Touch, then. ;-)
1200 mAh is probably more realistic for a Diamond drop-in replacement.

Though the size and placement of the stock 900mAh battery seems to be impossible to keep the same size for an extended one.
What I heard is that it will "look" (not as ugly) as the 2800mAh battery pack for the TytnII with a OEM back cover holding this chuncky battery.
i guess roughly a 3-4 mm thicker Diamond and +/- 35 gram more heavy.
Let's wait and see

Good search & find ! 2200mAh, now that is what we are talking about!
Looking forward to see how dimensions will be impacted.

did anyone buy the above battery?
Ye I bought it in my vision ...
Stock: Pre Order
Oké, sound nice - 2200 mAh is a big difference like to one we've got. I shall certainly follow this thread!
So for the 2200 battery do you need another back for the diamond? If so, where do you get it from?
Anyway, just posted a question on their side - will let you know the answer...
Extended genuine battery
I 've seen some advertisement quoting an extended battery for Diamond made by HTC, ref below:
htc103383 HTC Diamond Extenden battery 1340 mAh+ Battery Cover Black
the capacity should be fine and not transforming it into a bulky device.
HTH.
After 3 days of (intensive) use, I can see that a bigger battery is a must.
Of course, given the choice I'd go for the 2200

This is indeed in line with whath the Sales supervisor of HTC told nme earlier today here in Taiwan.
Though he was not sure if it was 1.200 mAh or more, the back would not become as thick as a TytnII.
Stock should be available from HTC genuine in around 2 weeks.
Taiwan has NO specific Diamond accesories YET as the device itself is delayed for launch for TW and China (bug's in device and QC does not release / produce them yet)
From the mouth of the horse as we speak.
Having just pre-ordered a Diamond dock - I'm hoping that it doesnt increase the size much otherwise it wont fit in!

I think i read they made a provision for it. Also the dock can charge a seconds battery. I'm still debating weather to buy a second slim battery or a fat one.
I believe, I know the answer but hope that someone is able to confirm:
Will accessories for the HD7 fit on the HD7S as well?
I am looking to purchase an extended battery and desktop charger for the HD7S.
It appears that both devices have the exact same dimension but before I go ahead with my purchase, I hope that someone can please confirm.
Thank you in advance for any info.
The phones are pretty much the same. Couple of internal differences, but things like cases and the battery are the same.

Hi, just got my phone yestrday got couple of questions.
1. Why does phonearena wrote that the vs989 has a significantly weaker battery than other models despite having the same specs?
2. Is d802 screen protectors and cases will fit the vs980?
Thank you.

1) No idea
2) Screen protector yes, the back is slightly different on the VS980 so they make cases specific for it.

It could be, Verizon is famous for their horrible bloatware and unoptimized software.
The battery is same 3000mah. Only difference is the wireless charging on Verizon so a different battery is possible. But same battery performance 3000mah
I've been blown away by how long the battery lasts (although I'm running a custom ROM and came from the Galaxy Nexus lol)
As most of you may have noticed, with the OP3 going out of production and the arrival of the 3T, one thing has remained strikingly similar. And that sometimes could lead to upgrades on users' current phones that are the OnePlus 3.
Just like HTC with the One X and the One X+, the bigger battery from the X+ yielded much greater performance in the battery department and surprisingly in the heat department too. The battery from the OP3T (disassembly and analysis is awaited) could potentially be used in our phone for greater (than usual) battery performance.
The structure of the housing looks to be the same, and the way the OP3 is built, the housings are merely just shells to wrap around the internals, nothing major (like the iPhone) so the Gun Metal casing could potentially be transferred over to the OP3.
This is all just based on speculation however. Time will tell when eventually iFixit or someone else performs a teardown.
My thoughts
Wouldn't say no to a bigger battery but time will tell
Same thought here as well,
I've been doing iphone parts repair n replacement for years,,
And what ive been doing quite often recently was placing an iphone 6+ battery to iphone 6s+,
The benefit is, the older model has slightly bigger battery, thus giving better battery life,
Hopefully OP using same connector for both OP3 & OP3T and hopefully the voltage spec didn't altered much. So that the tinkering one can see what can be achieved
Also wouldn't say no to a bigger battery but it's a moot point at this time since OP won't be selling it independently. Was just talking to Jeff on live chat and he said that they have no plans on selling any phone parts. Also, it's incompatible.

That's a real bummer. However I'm sure part resellers (like some of them do) will be buying phones to take them apart and then resell parts.
Someone in the Reddit AMA recently noted that the battery does fit - OnePlus agreed more or less that it's merely just a more dense cell. Which is great news!
Where did you get that info? If it's compatible that would be huge. Only thing from that phone I would like is that battery! :fingers-crossed:

A user on Reddit stated that the battery does indeed fit and OnePlus (Carl or Pete) said that the battery is the same with more dense cells to increase capacity while maintaining the size

In this case size doesn't matter. It's still incompatible with OP3. Aaron mentioned it. Screenshot attached.

I wouldn't blindly trust that statement. The battery most likely works if it fits. Of course it's also possible that the battery management system (BMS) would notice that the battery doesn't match preprogrammed values and that would render the battery incompatible but I doubt that. I would guess though that the the extra capacity would be wasted. I don't know where the BMS is implemented but it would need to be changed as well to get the new battery fully charged to its higher voltage. The old BMS would stop charging sooner and the capacity would be the same as in OP3.
Guess we'll have to wait for the teardown to be sure or maybe some brave soul to try it out for us.
Also a quote from reddit
I think it will work just fine because the phone charges until a certain voltage is reached. So the nominal Wh of the OP3T battery in OP3 will be 12.92Wh instead of 13.09Wh (that the battery of OP3T is capable of). Now, the OP3 has 11.4Wh so it will be an improvement.

I DMed Zach from JRE and we discussed other scenarios. I did tell him that the battery charges until the battery controller chip knows the battery reaches maximum charge. Looks like the battery definitely works! This is great news. And it shouldn't void warranty either, I took a look inside and there's only one warranty sticker which doesn't get pierced after changing the battery. I guess you could keep the old one safe incase anything happens.
Now to wait for batteries to surface
That's great news indeed. I'm now only concerned about the lowest safe voltage that the new battery can reach. If it's the same as the old one then there's nothing wrong with just swapping it but otherwise it could discharge to the point of not being able to be charged again. That's without software tweaks ofcourse. Could you also ask this question too? That would probably alleviate any potential dangers of it being swapped before anyone builds software to support it.
Hello there, I am pretty new to this forum so please advise me if there is anything wrong with this thread.
I own a oneplus 3 pretty much since the release date, and I have been very happy with it, except for the not optimal battery life.
Now, as you can take from the heading of this thread, I am thinking about rebleacing the back of my oneplus 3 with a larger one, idealy one that covers up the battery bump, so I can fit in a larger battery. Additionaly I probably will need to transfer the antennas, and do something about the speaker and microphone ports.
I would like to make the back out of aluminum via a cnc service online, but for prototyping a 3D printed solution would probably be sufficient. The other question is, where to find a battery that is larger than that in the oneplus 3s standart battery, but still beeing able to fit it inside the space made availible by the new hull.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this project, especially considering problems, that could occure.
I hope this project is interessting for some of you, and we can make the op3 even more awesome.

Maybe you could get a 3t battery and replace it. It's bigger in capacity,but same in size. Like Jerry did here

That wouldn't work since the battery is different voltage when charged fully. You're gonna have to find a 4.35V (max voltage, I think the nominal voltage is 3.8V) li-ion battery that is the same size in thickness and height but has deeper depth.
Anyways this project sounds like it could have some potential... I'd be really down to see a CNC machines aluminum back cover that can accomodate a larger battery. I would buy one in a heartbeat

Some guys did the swap in the lg nexus 5-they placed inside a lg g2s battery which is 3000mah vs 2300mah! It worked for them,so i think there is a chance for this swap also. Maybe we can also mess around with the kernel to make it work. All of this sounds easier than making new back cover

That's because the Nexus 5 and LG G2 batteries were the same voltage. This has already been tried and at first it didn't charge fully, then OnePlus implemented a safety feature that detects when a OP3T battery is installed and doesn't allow the phone to boot. We could make a kernel that charges to a higher voltage (the opposite of bedalus' BLX mod in his moxie kernel) but it could be dangerous and isn't worth the risk.
Little off topic but any good quality replacement batteries out there I can replace with?
I do love this idea but there's no way to avoid opening your phone, so be very hard to get everyone wanting one.

Well it's super easy to open this phone so it's not that big of a deal.
And check out witrigs.com, they seem to have good quality parts and have a replacement battery for this phone. I took the plunge and bought a new screen since I cracked mine real bad but it hasnt arrived yet, I'll be posting a review on it when it comes.
Actually I do not think, that the voltage would be such a large issue, as the voltage of a lion battery is changing constantly with its charge level, there probably is a voltage regulator of some sort in place anyway. I think that software would be the bigger problem, as phone manufacturers probably don't want you to make there phones better instead of buying their new ones

i personally changed nexus 5 battery with Lg G2 battery, no issue in charging or voltage difference and backup is excellent although When i check with AIDA 64 Battery info showing 2300mah but i know backup is improved and as like 3000mah battery,
and also changed OP3 battery with OP3T No issue at all
