I am sure lionbattery will roll one out after some time.
I will jump all over an extended battery. I'm pissed because I just ordered an extended battery for my 8525 and now I'm about to upgrade to the Kaiser. (Didn't realize the Kaiser was released so soon when I ordered the battery).
An extended battery is a must. I use pushmail so my internet connection is always enabled. That drains my battery SO FAST.
What about this?

Dont do that. I bought a 3600mah for the same price or less that's the same size. That's what im talking about though it makes the phone really bulky.
I just rather carry an external 4 AA battery charger. It lasts me 3 days continual usage. The AA batteries are each 2800mAh and are rechargeable. So enjoy!
really 4AA last that long? but hmm dont you have to have the batteries in a diff unit and then that unit is connected via USB? or how?
btw i think ill be skipping on kaiser, i got a used 8525 for the price of just the phone but with 2x 1500 bat and i believe a 3000 one... plus the original battery as well with the external battery charger this is great... which it came with as well
reasons for skipping is because of tmobile, who knows when they will get there act together, and i really want a phone that has vga for web now... i can see how it would make a big diff, but the battery will have to be like 1500 stock+ or so to run well i believe.
finaly! (maybe)

Mmmm. Their site says "we’ve established that our extended, larger battery is a good thing" - physically bigger then??? That's worrying.
This looks much more like it http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-42477.html

Those should work with Kaiser, right? This would be a great and cheap solution to carry in my bag if I know i'll need extra juice.
EDIT: was browsing their site and found this http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-42765.html so I answered my own question :-D

I dont think its a external charger its a extended battery "Replacement HTC Kaiser Extended Battery." so it says. I guess we have to wait for the picture to tell what it really is...
Rather than spending money on AAA batteries, might I suggest something from these guys. It will also work with your iPod. I have just ordered mine. http://www.batterygeek.net/IPod_Accessories_s/5.htm

Why AA batterys? Because AA batterys can be had just about ANYwhere. From a quickstop, WalMart, or even rob them out of another device to get your phone back up and running. Plus you can use rechargable batterys too. I use the battery extender from ThePocketSolutions. Have been for over a year and a half. I personally keep the lithium camera batterys in mine. I only use it in a pinch when I don't have access to a charger.
I see your point about rechargeables, guess they would work the same way, and probably save money at the same time.
The Kaiser battery page has been updated. The capacity is 2800mah The picture is kind of blury. The back cover looks to be original but sticks out. hmm 2800mah for $60+shipping or 2700mah on ebay for $31+shipping. c'mon 3200mah.... anyone??

Has anyone tried the 2700mAh battery on Ebay? There seems to be two sellers selling these batteries with cover; one from Hong Kong and one from UK.
I ve just orderer a 2700 ma battery on ebay from hong kong. I bought a 2400 ma battery from them one year ago for my Hermes and I was happy with it. So I can say they are proffesional people. And only 19 dollars!!
Dani
Mmm, I'm just afraid these third party batteries explode after a while. I'm interested in ordering one as well but I'm looking for a hard case that will fit with it. Otherwise, using one of those high capacity batteries would mean that I'm left without a proper case. I have an Axim X50v with an extended battery and a fitting PDair case so it shouldn't be impossible to make a fitting one.
Just found an even higher capacity battery for the Tilt at 3000mah. But the back cover made the phone really thick. The back cover does look shiny

Great job, but .... what for
A friend of mine has a car with an iPod ready stereo, this hack charges the android and with some apps you can even stream music.
I didn't think about that. once again great job
I've seen these on eBay for cheap, curious if anyone knew of a reliable online site that had one like this for cheap. The link below is to one on eBay for about $4 shipped, looks like it'd be nice with not too much extra bulk. Also seen ones with a short cord for the same price on eBay and about $14 at other online stores. Might be too small, but thought it'd be cool to have.

Looks like with this you can use your own headset but can not charge the phone at the same time. I am using this one with which you can listen to music and also charge the phone if you want. Check this link.

I have something that looks exactly like that, from Sedio. I got it so that I could use my Shures instead of the cheapo HTC ones.
I have to say that I was disappointed, as the wire is pretty flimsy, and I wonder how long it will last. I cannot imagine it lasting too long. It does work well though.
Don't you guys already have one? My Fuze came with one. I also have a 3mm/USB Elbow like pictured in the original post, that I got with my work motorola flip phone (cheap verizon). I haven't tried it with the Fuze yet (I should).
Does anyone know if you can use a headset with built-in mic with these adapters?
I mainly want to use it with my Shures but wouldn't mind using it with my iPhone headset to make calls with from time to time.

I've seen accessories for the Fuze that plug into it and have a mic on them, and a 3.5mm jack to plug your own earphones in. So I'd imagine whatever headset you get with a built in mic will work as long as it plugs into the 3.5mm jack.

A 3 band headset with mic works (aka original iPhone and blackberry type) but the newer 4 band on the new in-ear ipod headset does not. FYI.

I just received mine and it's awesome.
The size is just perfect and most important: it works
The only "negative" thing is, that the phone thinks that there are headphones connected whenever the adapter is plugged in, even if just adapter and USB cable are connected. But why would anybody connect the adapter, when he/she doesn't use headphones?
Anywhere in Aus?
Does anybody know if you can get this on any other online store other than Amazon? They want to charge me $40 for shipping for a $5 product!
I live in Aus and it's so hard finding stuff like this, it looks awesome.
guyes, should these adapters be plug and play?
I bought something similar for my HTC touch pro and it doesnt work, the sound still plays out of the phone speakers.
what am i doing wrong?

Yes. They're plug and play. If you bought one and it didn't work I'm sorry It's either faulty or you didn't buy the right type. An htc device uses extUSB not a regular usb like the moto adapters use.
This weekend I'm going to a radio shack to buy to do-it-yourself plugs. Why buy these connectors when you should be able to make one yourself? My idea is to open up the headset, remove the standard earplugs and rewire it to a 3,5mm socket (don't know how to call it). Voila, you have your own adapter with microphone too!

You need a female 3.5mm socket, a soldering gun, some patience, and some time. It would take some skill, you'd have to open it up carefully and if you don't solder right, you'll ruin it.
Im curious if anyone uses or has any luck with a wireless charging pad?
I know there are a few of them, energizer plans on coming out with one in Nov. and duracells can be found on their site...(sorry Im too new to post a link)
Im just curious if anyone can confirm they work on an EVO before I go shell out the cash.
EDIT: I can confirm that Duracell only supports
HTC
* TOUCH PRO
* DROIDERIS
* HERO
Still researching the others.
Powermat has an evo specific solution.
I'd love to know if the powermat battery cover can be used with the touchstone charger from palm.
That could be a nice solution for a secondary charger.
Cheers,

The Duracell MyGrid works on the EVO. I tested one at work. Wasn't a big fan though, as you still have to plug in the charging clip, which felt like I might as well just use a normal charger.

Exactly. I'm still waiting for this technology to mature. IMO, it's still waaaay too exepnsive to justify the cost. Seriously, how much more utility can you get from it? You can't hold it and charge it at the same time either. PowerMat's solution doesn't let you plug into the usb port w/o taking off the cover.

I'd guess no since palm induction doesn't work on a powermat.
I just got back from a work trip and was thinking about picking up one if the powermat kits from best buy. This way, I figure I can return it if I'm not happy. I'll let yall know how it works out (if they have it in stock, that is).
I have a powermat for the evo i just got thursday, i came from a palm pre and thats the one thing i missed. i had a slight concern about it at first due to the back cover using up the micro usb port on the phone (i thought i'd have to remove it if i needed to charge it in the car or whatever) but the microusb section of the back cover can actually be removed for other charging devices to be plugged in.
I like it.
EDIT: it does not work with cases, it's slightly thicker and has a microUSB lip that comes out near the kickstand.
I usually get a few ebay batteries for my phone when i'm travelling but it seems that won't be the case this time around with the Nexus 4. Next option would be to pick up a portable battery charger. Any recommendations for one preferably with a built in concealable cable?
Something like this one but larger capacity: http://www.amazon.com/SlimTalk-Exte...TF8&colid=3JV3M6BBIVSNO&coliid=I3SU5TRGE8UZYR

This is what I've got as well, it's pretty compact and easy to carry, plus the torch can come in handy at times too. Before that I had a 5000mAh Pebble, which was actually not that much smaller, and was a bit more of a nuisance because it didn't use microUSB to charge itself (instead opting for some weird tiny barrel connector).
I plan on getting one of these (the 10,000 Mah variant )

I have both of these. The one the OP is looking at doesn't last nearly as long as the MFG claims it does. The second one is great for the two settings 0.6 and 2.0 amps. The weird thing is that my N7 won't charge on the 2.0 amp setting. I have to connect it to the 0.6 amp setting. And the brand on mine is Anker. I like the latter better, tho you have to have a usb cable. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, it comes with some small cables and various connectors for different devices.

Can't wait until they build one of these with wireless charging built in. THEN I'll buy one
I just bought this one - check around for some coupon codes to get an additional $5 off. I liked the look of the Zagg sparq series and the ability to plug it in (no more carrying around an ac adapter) but the build quality is questionable and the price is too high!
What about this one http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP120D-Thunderbolt-Blackberry/dp/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=pd_cp_cps_3
It's a 12000 mAh.
I just ordered one of these 12000mAh from China off ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12000mAh-Ex...444570?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d358dcf1a
I didn't buy from this particular seller and I haven't used it yet, so I can't recommend anything about it. (A bunch of sellers sell the same item.)
The marketing material seems legit and the price is good. I'll see if I made the right decision.
The width and height happens to be about the same as the S3 and N4. They claim an efficiency of 90% with the lithium polymer batteries. I would be happy if the N4 required one or two charges to get through an evening out and if this "power bank" could deliver ~4 charges.
The question is, how do you use these things? In the pocket, without an inductive Qi charger of the right size, i don't seem myself charging it with the cable in pocket regularly. It makes it a hassle to pull the phone out of the pocket and use. I see myself charging or powering the phone with it if I find myself sitting down for 10 mins or more, say at a meal.
How are you all planning to use an external battery brick?
yes, portable battery pack is required if you are high end user, playing high end games... I already have one
