Good Battery News For u Sprint Customers.

a new extended battery from sprint has came out "2600 mah + 2 battery back doors white and black".
i complained to sprint like 5 times that my battery's was ****ed up and i was going to terminate my account if they don't credit me the money for the battery.
so finally i got one nice agent that credited me 43.83 he wasnt sure what the price was of the battery but he made a note too call back with the full price of the extended battery which was 59.97. they credited me the full amount. im sure there's plenty of u that can pull this off!!!
good luck! if u want pictures of it i can post the picture's of it it looks like the sedio black back door.

If its from sprint, I want to see pictures please.

it is from sprint id have to wait till my gf comes home,to take pics with her cell phone, i just popped it in it seems to be draining alot lesser then the crappy htc red battery.

The cover fits very nicely on the device. Came with half a charge already, and I have been playing Angry Birds off and on for an hour and browsing for a bit, 4 hours since its been in and not a single budge on the battery meter.

I have not seen the Seidio in person. It may be a little larger, as it is ~900 mah more.
I have not used or looked at any cases for this yet. I am more than likely going to wait for either Sprint to release theirs for a decent price (haha ) or some manufacturers off ebay to make one.

Thanks I might pop in to a sprint store and see if it fits under the otterbox commuter but I doubt it.

Nice to see sprint kicking out some "OEM" extended battery tech.
Question though - I was looking into getting one of those nice Seido batteries, but was put off by the fact that the Evo was incapable of charging the batter to 100% via USB connection.
Remember how people would get their extended batteries and the phone would display 100% charge when plugged in, but as soon as you pulled the plug it instantly dropped to the REAL charge of only 60 or 70%?
I was understanding that the EVO's charging circuitry was too "dumb" to realize there was an extended battery in the back and cut off charging way too early.
My question is -- is this something the sprint battery would suffer from as well? I did notice that this battery is Lithium Polymer? vs our stock battery thats lithium ion.
Thoughts?

I am loving mine so far. As far as how thick it makes the Evo; with this battery it is about the same thickness my Evo was with the Otterbox commuter case attached. I went ahead and ordered the Seidio Holster,the one for Evo's without a case, for $20.34 from Amazon. The Evo fits fine in there.
As far as battery life I am very happy. I went 37 hours on the first charge which included almost 40% looking for signal under Cell Standy in battery info; you have to love working in a basement! And so far on my second charge I have about 30% left after 36 hours.

I got one yesterday. it's very nice.

Good brand of extended battery for G2?

Anyone know if there are any that are actually worth it and don't begin degrading?
I've read a lot of reviews saying that most of them work for 1-2 weeks and then start to lose strength.
I'm looking for a reliable brand.

I have had my HTC Evo 4G 1800 mah batteries since the G2 came out. No degradation, minor label modification. Battery door fits fine.

I also have one, but I don't use it every day, just couple of times when going on a trip or traveling. I can easily tell it hold a lot more juice than original and the battery door is well made and has this soft touch, not a cheap plastic.
Also lately I began using external battery charger, the black one that plugs directly into the phone, no cables. I simply always have one in my bag.

the chichitec ones have been working good for me stock rom rooted. I'm getting about 18-20 hours or so depending on usage. The fastest I've been able to kill it is probably 7-9 hours of constant use with everything on, but that was intentional to see how fast i could kill it lol. Cost me like 18 buck on amazon, removed label clipped the ends and voila cover fits perfectly just tape on battery above microsd card holder so it wont short out.

What do you mean clip the ends and tap on battery above microsd holder? Does it not fit OTB? Can you use the original battery covery with it?

There is this tiny clip you snip for the g2 (the battery is meant for another htc model but it fits) and remove the plastic vinyl cover, after that it just fits with the stock cover. The problem is you need to make sure the bare metal battery does not ground out with the sd card holder. a simple piece of tape works well. Search chichitec on here and there are several threads and how to's.

Good luck! I hope it does then I'll get one lmao! I'm getting about 20 hours moderate use on mine. On days i work and go to school and i don't use it at much I probably get more but i don't bother checking every 30 minutes like I did before. This new GB rom is waaaaay faster and better on battery life lol. My batteries were labeled as 1900 mah so not too much of a diff I think it'll fit...if not grind it down lol.

yea they were 14 bucks so ill give it a shot, i also ordered a galilio 1650mah thats made for the desire z for 8 bucks free shipping lol. so if the evo wont fit ill have a backup anyways. the stock lasts me about 18 hours on cm7 with horrible signal at work for 8 hours so its not too bad, a little more juice is always good tho

Galilio?
I pay 20 $ for 2 x 2000 mah + charger for the 4g.
Its been 2 months since my purchase, and its hard to say if its better than the stock one. My use are so different days after days. But, one thing sure, its not worst than the oem.

I was just wondering - did it fit?
and how is it?

I've had a Mugen 1800 battery in mine for a long while now, works great and no having to clip or modify or tape in any way. Between that and using the Green Power app I can easily get 2 days out of mine before charging.

just got it about an hour ago actually, wont fit not without sanding it down, and to be honest it doesnt look very well fabricated after the sticker is off it. also since i read the post above on how its not really much better than the 4g stock battery im not gonna bother sanding it to make it fit. i have a 1650mah battery on its way as well which says its for the desire z, so it should fit perfectly, but ill let you guys know if it does in fact last longer than the stocker.
so to sum things up, the evo 4g slim 2000mah wont fit without quite a bit of modification, its close...very close, but still requires sanding. if in fact it had amazing reviews i would mod it but ill just cut my losses and toss it.
update on the 1650mah dz battery to follow as soon as i recieve it. battery performance a few days following that.
cheers

Is this Serious?
It takes like 5 minutes with a dremel (including get it out from his box and plug it) to make the battery fit.
If you can use a cell phone, I'm pretty sure you can fit the 4 G battery...

Qi charger for $35 - too good to be true?

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1197502
Includes FREE worldwide shipping. Is this too good to be true? I'm keen to give it a shot, but can't seem to find a brand-name or anything. According to the seller its compatible with our phones, but I'm always sceptical of no-name-brand Chinese things, especially if it could damage my precious.

Don't think its branded at all. Their return policy seems pretty good. Seems as though you would only have to pay for shipping if it's not an error on their part. I assume DOA's and the thing breaking down within the warranty period would constitute as free return paid by them. Post a review if u decide to try it.

I received mine today but for some reason I only seem to get 94% charged and won't go above it... I'm still trying to find if anyone else is having this same issue but nothing at present...

Some of us on xda ordered some it's some post down from this one they said they got and it works I'll get mines tomorrow. I ordered it on the 7 of January

Unlike the other one, this one (for $35) seems to be one of the WPC certified chargers, although I am not sure if it means much.

Is the blue light overly bright and annoying? Are there beeping sounds? Is it easy to get it to charge, or does it only charge when placed in a certain way?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm thinking of getting one of this if it works.

Placed my order. Figured its worth the risk at that price.
Unfortunately I'm in South Africa so I don't expect it to arrive in less that 2 weeks.

There is a beep to alert you when the phone is placed on it and to advise of charging.

The phone needs to be placed upside down, in the case of the N4 the bottom of the phone is towards the power plug end of the Qi.

Because on other Qi chargers, a lot of people complained that they lose connection when knocked a centimetre off centre.

You can move it around a bit but not too much, it'll work sideways, longways, etc. and I've also got a case on without an issue.

Maybe once you remove your case, it will charge over 94%.
I am just kidding.
Considering ordering one.
Thanks.

Has anyone looked at the one labeled just "Qi Wireless Charger"?
It's white, and I don't like that, but it's completely flat, so it'd probably fit the phone better...?
Better as in, if you have to turn it around, then it'd be better, since with the large one, the casing seems to be raised at the top, whereas the standard one is completely flat, so flipping it around wouldn't really be that big of a deal.

This is not the same charger as the one being discussed in that other thread.
To repeat the OP, this is the charger discussed here:
http://www.fasttech.com/products/1197502
Mine arrived today. My early thoughts:
1.) It feels pretty cheaply made, but its a simple device and I can't really fault anything about it as far as build quality goes.
2.) The Nexus 4 has to be placed upside down for charging to take place. Bit of a shame, but no reason why you can't just use the pad itself upside down instead.
3.) Unlike the comments from another poster here, I was relieved to see my phone charge to 100% without any problems.
4.) The flashing blue LED is annoying and doesn't seem to do anything other than flash continually whether it is charging or not. I'll probably open it up and kill it, and/or simply tape over it with black tape.
All in all, pretty happy for the price paid, and glad to be able to reduce the wear and tear on the microUSB port.

Sorry, when I say "upside down", I don't mean face-down. Rather, the charging port needs to be at the top. Obviously that's where the sensor / coil lines up best with the phone; can't think of any other reason.

FYI, use the code "LAUNCH" for 5% off. Credit goes to samlikely in another thread for this.

Yes or no answer: Battery replacement worth it.

Hey everyone,
I bought a nexus 6p last week refurbished. Pretty much I was expecting the famous battery failure and did get it on my nexus around 30% - 20%. So I bought a new battery yesterday it comes tomorrow and will give it in to a phone shop to get it done by a technician , I need a straight answer does it fix the problem permanently and will it boost battery life. I know there has been MANY MANY MANY topics about it but I just need a straight answer.
Thanks

Yes, I replaced mine myself. I went from 1 hour SOT, dying at 70%, to 6-7+ hours dying at 0%.
The issue wont be fixed permanently though, you're just mitigating the problem

I did the same on two Nexus 6Ps, totally worth the effort.

YES!

Alright! Thanks guys I got my battery today and im gonna hand it in to a phone shop and get it done! I'll keep you updated on it.

Well! That replacement was totally worth it! Before I had i replaced, I'd wake up at like 9am with 100% battery then around 12pm it would be on 67% and pretty much die at 30 or 20%.
Since i got it replaced I have noticed a overhaul of improvements with my battery especially with the Franco kernel my battery life has doubled by an insane amount. I can actually go out and come back with like 50% without rapid draining. I am genuinely happy with that replacement. It feels great.
Thanks who said it was worth changing the battery. If you're planning to swap it. Do it! It's worth your time.

I personally have a mixed feeling. I replaced my battery a little while ago, and it was working great for months, but now the battery began draining like crazy. I read somewhere that there was a defect on the motherboard itself and that battery replacement would only be a temporarily fix as the main defect would eventually bring the issue back. I'm thinking to move on at this point as I don't want to keep replacing battery.

I have been. I've been researching the hell out of it tbh and most of the time that's mentioned it's because it's a low quality battery. Since it lasts a couple of weeks - 2 months and then back to square one. That's due to bad batteries.

Had the battery swapped a few days ago and its worth it. Before the swap i would get like 1 hour SoT at best and my phone would sit at around 30% when i got home from work with the phone completely drained at around 7-8 pm. Now i get more then double the SoT even with heavy use and has enough charge left when i got to bed ( around 30% ).

I visited a local shop near were I used to live for my gfs nexus and it's going 6months with no issues or degration, shut down or otherwise. I no longer live there or I would go back to repair my phone at the same location. Hopefully in a couple of months I can. I will report to you guys, I have not been able to find a legitimate battery to do it myself or a local shop at my current location. I know BLOD is an issue but that is not related to battery. I guess people could have faulty motherboards but not all of us do. But I'm not denying or agreeing with you because there's lots of people who bought batteries of poor quality and lasted about a month before going back to what they delt with before. I'm not to sure of this conversation is going but I hope you can fix your battery soon. Nexus besides its issues is still an amazing device and I hope I can keep it running for a couple more years.

New Battery for the Axon7?

Pretty simple question, battery is two years old and I'm not sure it has that great of capacity anymore. Taking apart the Axon7 doesn't look to be too difficult, so wondering if anyone has experience on batteries.
There's what looks like stock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-...547988?hash=item2cd0608714:g:oTAAAOSw~JRawH1t

I generally am scared of third party batteries.

I got a genuine ZTE battery off of EBay for $11. Replaced it in an hour. Good as new!

I guess if the battery is shot, it's a good time whilst replacing it, to also make sure all connectors are seated.

Yeah I agree.
From my limited experience with PSP back in the day, I had no issues myself.
Plus if it does degrade within the month you could just get an original after that.
Dunno about reliability though, hope you don't catch a fire or something.

I had a vape that didn't regulate voltage well on QC2.0 and caught aflame. Kind of worries me going third party for that reason as well.

YES, I've had multiple A2017U (US) Axon7's reach the two year window where battery life dropped off considerably (or failed completely in the end).
Full charge, remove cable and instantly 80%, run for 20min and 30%, then shutdown with no warning.
I purchased OEM compatible battery off eBAy. I did check into company a little and did ask if stock was super OLD or not (granted, they could fib but that's why I researched the reputation of company and feedback).
the R&R is very straightforward. However, the screens that are behind the speaker grill are tough to keep in good shape (since the adhesive is one big piece) . I ended up resurrecting the screen portion and used separate two sided adhesive tape (purchased specifically for display repair on diff phone -- it was less than $10).
