Spare battery - HD2 General

Hi all, will this battery fit the HD2??
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1100mAh-ECELL...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item2ea86a4dc1
A few people are selling it saying it will, but it looks different, thought it would be good just for an emergency batt, i always carry one in my wallet.

Seems too thick, someone asked that already over there:

Seems like the amount of pins is different aswell :S

XDAIIi (HTC ALPINE) 2400mAh After Market Battery

Hi there people I thought I'd share my experiences with you.
Recently I bought a 2400mAh battery (NEW) from eBay for a modest 10GBP (with another 11GBP P&P from Hong Kong), and I just want to say it's amazing.
My XDAIIi runs for so much longer now if I was to put a figure on it I'd say around 33-38% on full PDA functions. Which I find well worth it seen as the standard battery costs 19GBP from O2, the only thing is that the battery is bigger by around 5 millimetres, but it comes with its own backplate to allow it to fit snugly into the back of the handset.
I also bought from ebay the other following items:
Poly Carbonate Case (0.99GBP)
Signal Booster (0.99GBP)
The poly carbonate case, I find to be infinatly better than the standard leather case as it fits into your pocket easier (I dont wear the leather case on my belt), but although it lacks memory card holders (as you would get in the leather case) it more than makes up for it as it is way more aesthetically pleasing. A absolute bargain at 99p, but unfortunatly it only is made to take the standard battery and backplate.
The signal booster when I saw it I must say I was more than a little sceptical over whether it really does work but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. When it arrived I discovered that it was only a very small metal strip set in a sticker, and immeadiatly I thought I had been ripped off, but after fixing it to the inside of the battery backplate I did notice that it does actually make a differenc, however small, a difference is a difference and I definatly notice that calls are now more clearer and tend not to distort as much, but don't think that it will increase your signal enough to make calls in a tunnel lol.
Well for all in all around 30 quids worth on eBay (inc P&P) I'd say that was not too bad.
If anyone else knows of any good aftermarket products, especially a aluminium/metal or poly carbonate case that will accomidate the extra large backplate then please let me know.

hi,
nice to hear great experiences from you
from what id do you bought the battery??? I really need new long term battery. Can you post some pics the case and signal booster at the phone.
Thanks........
A bit more expensive but this is the one I bought:
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=17273&category_id=507
I bought one in the yahoo auction site, the battery work so well.
I even keep the phone on 24 hours, and run excel, surf the net with gprs, listern mp3, reading ebooks, updating stock profolio etc. and it still have 30% battery left after 4 days.
It is excellent, I never afraid of being run out of battery.
And, where did you buy this item: Poly Carbonate Case (0.99GBP)
Signal Booster (0.99GBP) ?
Thanks
told you
told you above . . . ebay lol
Ohhh, I am sorry I just made a search in ebay, and I didn't see it , please could you provide me the links...
Very pleasant...

If I upgrade to a Xda IIi
So... I found it. But I am still one question... with the extended battery... what case do you use?
It´s possible to use a metal one?
Thanks.
I asking this because actually I have a Xda II and I want to know what things I could use from my xda II if I get a Xda IIi...
Thanks
XDAII
Well what I've found is that more or less everything for the XDA II works perfectly well with the XDA IIi, even programs etc, the battery is 5mm thicker than the standard and is supplied wth a back cover for it, its a sturdy plastic number, but unfortunatly not metal , i dont know if anyone out there has a aftermarket metal one, just know one thing . . . google doesnt have the answer :'(
as for the signal booster:

4500mA battery does not work good. It simply does not gain 4500mA capacity... Works sligtly better than origional.
Going to make a charging device for this battery... Anyone has som ideas how to do that.
my first 2400mAh battery went dead after 6 months. It started with not possible to connect the phone function, then it will hardreset by itself. Then the battery drains away quickly.
I had take out the battery and tried to recharge it. But even I recharged it, the battery won't work anymore.
To be honest, I am scared to use third party battery. But it was so good to use, so that I bought a new 2400mAh battery eventually.
Good luck to all of us, It is good to have insurance as well.

htc rafael 2400 or mugen 3000 battery for fuze?

The $2400 is $21 on eBay and the Mugen is $80.
The Rafael obviously seems like the better deal. How can anyone justify an additional 600mAh for $60??
Has anyone used the Rafael and what kind of case did you get for your thicker phone?
Mugen 3000mAh
I'll bite; I sprung for the Mugen 3000mAh battery. I think it's great (it comes with it's own battery cover, and admittedly does make the phone significantly more bulky).
I'm not a typical user even for these forums. I routinely tether my laptop to my phone via bluetooth for laptop internet access (two thumbs up for unlimited data plans) and I actually get quite usable speeds (I'm using that setup right now). Plus, I can send and receive calls at the same time. Also, I've got two accounts in the Pocket Outlook, and I've got Flexmail 4 with about 6 or 7 email accounts that sync throughout the day. In addition to that, I use spreadsheets and word documents on it as well as voice calls. So, frankly, I'll take all the power I can get!
When I take it to the gym, I use my Seideio (sp?) 2000mAh battery because it's a lot slimmer and does great with by bluetooth headphones (and I use it as an mp3 player; I'm not one of those types that talks on their phone the entire time they're supposed to be "working out"!).
So if you have to have all the power you can get, like I do, it's not that big of a sacrifice in size for the extra 600mAh. It does make a difference late in the day. Just my $0.02 though.
Good stuff BPB21.
What kind of case do you use for the 3000, if any at all?
Thanks for your help.
Cases
That's an interesting question. Typically I just keep it in my coat pocket at work, or pants pocket otherwise without a case. I've got one of those "Invisible Shield" screen protectors that has protected it even from my cat's claws (touch screen wasn't meant for cats, but no harm done). So typically I don't use a case.
However, I was just looking for some kind of waterproof case, I mean completely waterproof, for when I potentially go rafting and/or rock climbing. I can't vouch for any yet, but I've heard good things about the "Otterbox" cases. I don't plan on actually using the device while in the water of course, but it might be necessary to keep it with me. I'm kinda compulsive about that with my phones. So, as for cases, that remains to be seen. I think the Seidio 2000mAh battery would fit most anything (I don't know about the 2400mAh, but I'm sure I'll own one soon) as it really doesn't add much size at all to the phone. As for the Mugen 3000 mAh, well, I don't know what that would fit in. That battery and case make the phone a total of one inch thick the entire length of the phone. The Seidio battery and cover only add about 1/8th inch thickness in a 1&1/2" width and 1&1/4th" length on the back of the phone.
Anyway, if I find something good I'll post here; but for everyday use just the screen protector works well enough for me.
IF anyone has any suggestions for this battery and a case, i'd be grateful and interested as well. the stock cover that comes from mugen is crap with a capital C. it keeps sliding off.
I 2nd that...
This is true; it is really easy to knock the Mugen cover off. The one saving grace about that cover's design is that even if the cover comes loose you don't necessarily take the battery with it (at least in my experience). I would be interested if anyone can find a cover that fits the 3000 mAh battery. (I mean, other than the submersible Otterbox cases - those fit, but you can't really use the device...)
The phone (with a standard battery fitted) just fits into an otterbox 1000, which is the cheapest one they do. I got the transparent one but the phone screen is obscured. I keep it in the box whilst I work outside, with a waterproof bluetooth headset. It's a tough box.

I've actually taken the phone skiing (well, I didn't buy it a lift ticket or anything). It was in my ski jacket pocket (and I tend to do runs more advanced than I am) and despite my sometimes dramatic falls the phone held up well. So it's a pretty durable device, but I wouldn't do that every day with it.
Speaking of that Otterbox - I was looking at the same thing and trying to measure it from the given inside dimensions. Which way does it just barely fit: length, width, or thickness? I would think the phone would be just a bit too long for the case, but hopefully not? And then, if I had the Seidio 2000mAh battery (which adds maybe 1/8" thickness, if that) installed would that fit as well?
Otterbox 1900
Hi. I own an otterbox 1900. I´ve used it a lot with my Axim and after that with my Eten m700. I took it rafting, dirt biking on the mountains and snowboarding many times. You can charge the device while in the box, and use the device while keeping it protected by a clear rubber membrane.
The Fuze fits easy inside, but I have the stock cover and battery.

I bought one, I have it and it makes your phone look like a brick. hey, the Battery will last days but it is just Huge.
Big batteries
I've got the 3000mAh battery (by the way, I saw the 2400mAh battery on eBay; how does its size compare with the 3000mAh battery?). I use my phone heavily, all day. I'll connect it with my laptop via bluetooth to use internet sharing, sometimes I'll be talking on the phone at the same time, and I heavily use email on the phone, plus Word and Excel files and internet browsing, plus occassional testing and configuring of wifi routers using the phone's wifi, all on a given day. I'm not always near a charger so for me I need all the power I can get, even if it is only an extra 600mAh.
On the other hand, people routinely ask me "what is thbat?" (or more accurately, "what the hell is that?") when they see my brick of a phone. So yeah, it does make it quite bulky compared to even the 2000mAh battery. But if you're a power user and need all the extra you can get then it is worth it.
I complained to the guys at nakedcellphone.com and the guy sent me a new cover for the Mugen battery, have to say, amazing service. I should have given them kudos weeks ago. The new cover for the Mugen does NOT slide off and is very good.
Now, I need a hard case for this thing. Anyone know of a place I can get one?

How is the new cover different? Shaped differently or just fits more snugly, or both? I got mine from them, and it may be too late for me to complain since I've had it for a while now, but do you think they'd send me one if I asked? I'd even pay for it (not $60 or howevermuch, but some) if the cover is that good.
The best "hard case" I've found is by Otterbox, but I don't think that's the kind you've got in mind.
Let me know the details on that different Mugen battery cover; I could use that.

Nothing is different, I am guessing that the new one they sent just didn't fall off as much. Maybe the original one sent was defective.

I also saw that Mugen battery and drooled, but for $100... Amazon.com has a Cameron Sino 2400mAh battery for $20... 3000mAh is probably more a custom item to begin with, but a 600mAh increase for only $80?
I've used Cameron Sino batteries before -- never had a problem.
Good replacement case cover as well - it doesn't fall off...

A link to the Amazon battery would be nice, the only thing I was able to find on Amazon searching on the Cameron Sino 2400 battery is one for the Treo.

Touch Pro Case charger

Hey guys, I've googled this and had no luck. A friend of mine has purchased what I think is an ingenious little accessory. Essentially it is a snap on belt case/cradle for his phone with a battery attached to it. You pop the blackberry into the cradle/case (and it's about not obscenely large) and it charges the blackberry. At the end of the day, you take it home and charge the cradle)
I think this is an awesome alternative to having a huge battery attached to a phone. I would LOVE to have something like this for the touch pro, however have had no luck finding it.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across something similar for the TP.

Could you make something like this with a mintyboost, penlight batteries (or button cells or a nine volt radio battery!) and an existing case? A thing like that is on my TODO list as soon as I get a round tuit. All my existing tuits are triangular.
Edit: The mintyboost thing could go in one of my fannypack pockets with a cable going to the phone. How much do a few rechargable penlight batteries weigh? Nothing.

Edit: And here's a rechargable version http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-solar-iPodiPhone-charger-aka-Might
Bigger and bulkier, yes but would still be fannypackable <--IS THAT A WORD???
This would be very cool
Try this. A batterypack with a built-in charger

Bigger Batteries

Are there bigger batteries that I can currently buy for the device?
Something which will extend my battery (by a significant amount)?
If so, I'd appreciate if you could link me where to buy one / the name of the battery.
If not, I assume companies will start making them soon, so is there any information about that?
Samsung has made this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-power-pack-extended-battery
That gives you a total of 2950mAh. Looks like it's coming out in june or thereabouts.
Buying 3rd party extended batteries can be ok, but they always have much lower capacity than what they claim on their websites.
But doesn't an extended battery mean that it's a case with a battery?
Aren't there going to be any battery replacements that will give you more battery life?

Not without making the phone thicker, which is exactly what this is doing, while at the same time giving you the option to shed that weight and just use the standard battery when needed.

Wouldn't it just be easier holding a spare 1650 mAh battery then?
or an external one to charge the 1650mAh that doesn't make it thicker? one that has over 1300mAh?

That depends entierly on what you want . For me I think the best option would be to have a clip-on battery case that I use if I'm going to be extended periods away from a power socket. For you maybe it's better to have a spare battery, I don't know.
Battery is that small on SGS 1 i kept a spare in pocket .
Waiting for cheap genuine Samsung SGS 2 battery now .

Neither of those options appeal to me.
I dont want to be carrying extra separate items with me, it adds bulk and then there's the hassle of having to physically change the battery, and keep two charged.
At least with the extended batteries, your only changing the one thing, and sure it makes the phone thicker, but it also serves as a protective case.
The option that sounds best to me is for Samsung to get their F***ing heads out of their F***ing asses and make the phone 2 moth******ing millimeters thicker so we can get decent battery life!!! I mean seriously, who needs a phone to be this thin??
Ya it's cool to be thin but can I just have a $700 phone that I can use without being neurotic about power settings? Oh ya, and 2mm would have been just enough so that my phone is not resting on the very fragile camera lens every time I put it down.
In every other aspect I'm in love with this phone but you have to be a complete bonehead to make that call on the battery.
I cant speak for everyone but i get great battery life. 2x the battery of my vibrant, I can get a 1 1/2 days easily before it actually dies.
I am interested to see what extended batteries will look like. I think powerskins will make a great battery whenever that happens.

battery bank case?

Hello everyone!
I have looked in both Amazon and eBay and can't seem to find this but do you guys know if there is a battery bank case out there to add more battery on our phones? I have regular battery banks but sometimes it is just more convenient to have a battery that is attached to your phone. If not I think I might just need to get some velcro and a slim battery bank.
Welp, after contacting the major folks: zerolemon, mophie and Motorola they said that they didn't have any plans to make one. I had to get some velcro and make my OWN Moto mods! The left is my Moto g4 plus and to the right is my work iPhone 6s with a real battery case.
can you make this one for me?or tell me how to do?

He used velcro tape as he mentioned, it's only to tighten the power bank on the back cover. BTW, the method is cool and looks like a bomb

What strongst said. Below are the parts that you see in the picture. I can't put links yet I don't think.
Case: Incipio DualPro Case [will work with any case or even without one really]
Battery Bank: RAVPower 6700mah Palm Sized Portable Charger Power Bank (2.4A Output & 2A Input, iSmart 2.0 Technology) [I like this one because it provides faster charging which works for our phones and also is a nice handle with this velcro tape]
Velcro tape: Can be bought anywhere, I used the fuzzy side on the phone and the prickly side on the battery bank just because I hold the phone more.
@strongst - Thanks! Yes it does and people look at me weird when I use it. But when I am getting over 2 days battery life and 8-10 hours playing Pokemon Go! I can't complain.
If there is a manufacturer that is willing to make a decent battery case for us I will probably be one of the first ones to jump on it. I have one for my work phone and I don't mind the added weight it brings because I get decent added battery life on it. But I think with budget phones like ours chances are low that someone like ZeroLemon will make one for us.
Opps just broke charge port trying to carry this in pocket.
Easier to get a spare phone on another network than these idiot anker cases. I will be looking hard for a swapping battery phone next time. In safe mode I can only get 1/2 a work day. Which is about 14 to 15 hours.
