Hey guys, just wanna ask if anyone bought and tried the extended battery for diamond that comes with a back cover. Does it really work as in do the battery life really last longer? Cos i dont wanna spend $128 on something i dunno man. haha so yeah...
thanks
You might want to ask the question in the Hardware Section, there are already threads with pictures and experiences. I have two extended batteries, the ugly one from DX and one with a nicer back from eBay. The second one has some issues with the GPS, but there is an aluminium foil tweak for that, too. The battery life is a blast, though.
I have genuine HTC extended battery and it lasts 1.5-2x longer than default battery. Also the new battery cover is matte with rubberish surface, so it holds better in hand.
Hi,
Yes, I got it from some obscure website I don't remember, and it works well. My phone lasts the entire day now, even with some internet usage and such. But I definitely didn't pay that much. I believe I paid around $60 for it. It was made by HTC and came with a new back cover too.
See if you can find it and if not, let me know and I can try to find it again.

Hy. I have the extended battery and work verry fine nou. On my stile of usage , this battery is better by 40-50% . The 900 mAh battery power up my device for 2 days. With the new battery i can use my Diamond foar 3 days , 2 days with some calls , some sms , 1-2 hours wi-fi and 2-3 hours to watch movies . So...it work's verry fine.
PS: sorry for my english.
I am have been thinking about getting an extended battery but all the ones i have seen have been too big. Today i found this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTENDED-BATT...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c15e058f4#shId . I was just wondering if anyone has this particular battery and if the pictures are accurate because ive seen plenty of photoshopping ebay sellers in my time . Thanks
It is not the original one. Anyway you can try it. Not so much money. I am using the extended battery and i have to say only good works. Ok the phone becomes bigger from behind, but i can keep it now better. The feel in the hands is better i think. Also, i charge my phone every 4 days or 5. It depends on the usage. Ok you decide at the end
It fits
and works great. Easier to hold. Not to bulky and runs for days with normal use. Charged to 100% on Fri. at 2pm. Now Sunday at 10 am at 58%. Lite use.

I have heard that the power management micro-chip is located in the phone, not in battery then therefore, it would count with fixed standard battery capacity. In Vietnam, our HD2 users experienced they have to take out the extended battery and re-mount it again since the power management chip will shutdown the phone when battery discharged to apprx. 1250mAh as standard.
Any idea???
FYI, I planned to buy a extended battery then have to consult you all Appreciate your comment. My firmware is 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE

Yes i think the phone with extended thick battery has much better grip to handle!, and it even protects the camera lens when you put it on a surface.
got same
I've got same one a little cheaper:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...27801&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1333wt_1135
It works great, but back cover is quite easy to unlock, sometimes fall off.
Anyone experienced?
I received the battery and it is A LOT thinner than i expected it to be. As other users have mentioned it makes the phone feel more secure in my hand. The kickstand is very hard to get out. (especially for me since i have very short nails). The battery is currently at 88% so ill test it tommorow and report back on how well it does.
Overall it looks like a very good product for the price and i would recommend it (if it holds up in my testing)
i've bought the same battery from a different seller...tbattery shows the same specs as the original; however, like the poster above mentioned once I took the battery out and reinsert it I got approximately another 40% out of the battery(turning the phone off and bak on will Not do it)...
first time since buying the phone I havnt had to recharge it overnight...

some people say this fixes itself after the first charge/discharge cycle and others say you have to apply htc's patch. I hope one of these is the case because i'd hate to have to be doing that all the time
Update: After fully discharging and recharging the battery i am haveing the same issue as some people. The battery discharges at a similar rate to the stock battery and when it powers off i have to take the battery out and re insert it to get the rest of the power (which is aroung 60%). Im going to try upgrading to the latest official rom to see if it helps

didn't work
The HD2s we use at work have the extended battery - looks like that one. I find it makes the handset too bulky for me but most everyone else finds them more comfortable to hold. Either way extra battery life is never a bad thing - especially if you're using GPS a lot.
cover
i use a cover on mine, obviously for scratch protection.
but with the extra bulk behind, is there new covers for it?
or do you guys tske the risk from scratches
mine is a 3400mah and does not work either -.- . Did someone make it work on winmobiles ??? Really need help here !!!
Hey Guys,
I recently received an Amazon giftcard and since I'm in need of an extended battery for my Xperia Play I thought on spending it on that.
Did you purchase a battery on Amazon.com? Links would be appreciated!
I myself bought a GTMax battery (1780 mAh). It's OK but I need something more longer lasting...

So I found this battery on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/SkyTouch-Exte...EI/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1328834300&sr=8-13
It's a nice price and about right mAh capacity. Just wondering if it's good? The picture is apprently displaying a Photon? haha
Or maybe this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328834560&sr=1-14
I really want this one actually (there's a thread saying that this is a really nice battery)
Thanks!

How's your added thickness by the way?
Is it good? Can it fit inside your jeans pocket?
Can anyone confirm for me whether or not the 3600mah batteries will work with the Sony dock (DK300)? As in, does the phone actually fit on the dock with the extended backplate in place? I love my dock and don't want to quit using it, but I'd really like some extended battery life on this phone as well, as stock battery tends to drain quite fast when gaming.
Thanks!

Over the past 2 years I 've tried a lot of things to improve its battery life, following tips in many forums, installed related apps like Juicedefender and Wake Lock Detector. My phone could easily through one day if not using it hevily, however, I considered myself a heavy user, so I basically swapped an additional battery half day and has to change a new one semiannually before it was swollen. I have a dozen of OEM battery so far, but got my first extended battery (a 5000mah one of mpj) last month. Since I am not going to upgrade a new phone untill it can not work completely, I now rely on extd. battery. It currently gives me a total screen-on time of 6-7 hours with real-world use, and last over one day even with heavy usage. No reason to retire it, right?
Now i am wodering if swapping battery frequently would damge the phone??? If so, my next phone will definitely begin with extended battery!! LOL
can you share link from where you buy the battery that give you screen-on time of 6-7 hours?
and no i dont think it will damage, just wait like 1 min after you unplug battery and then put in another battery

moderate to heavy, 5-6 hours is my best! and glad to hear that it won't cut off my p990's life...lol
Thanks. Is it same weight, dimensions as stock battery? Because no cover is shipped, so it fits in stock cover?

Hi all,
I got my TF701t from Amazon a couple of years ago. Nevertheless the battery life of the dock was always TERRIBLY bad. I can actually get 1 or 1.5 hours extra and I can see it drain when dock it in. I have my tablet rooted now and with CM12.1, but this issue was present since it was with stock Android.
Yeah, you will say "why didn't you just returned it to Amazon?!" well, I'm outside the US and I asked a friend to buy it for me on a trip, so that was not an (easy) option for the use on the keyboard at that time. I think I would use it a bit more often now, I kind of "re-discovered" the keyboard (which is not that bad!). So... is that a normal battery life o should I try to get a new battery on the mail and replace it?
Thanks for the comments!
