Anyone tried these batterys?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GOLD-2430mAH-BUSINESS-BATTERY-HTC-T8585-LEO-HD2-/320643980080
2430mAh the dame size as the standard battery seems too good to be true....
Had one of the large batterys with the plastic cover and stand, and because of this, I broke my LCD screen.... the plastic cover for them is too flexible, so my phone bent when it was in my hip pocket .... ouch
With the battery I linked, the phone would keep the rigidity given by the metal battery cover and not have a large bump to flex around......
It's a cheap and nasty fake, which is probably weaker than the standard battery. Things which are too good to be true usually are, if it were possible to get that much power into that package then HTC would make one.

I'm listening to shoutcast a lot by using HSDPA (though not actually using HSDPA speeds) with Pocket player but I'm having power problems. The battery usually only lasts the trip to work (1hour) and then maybe 2 hours more. I'm very mobile in my work (furnishing carpenter) and I want my phone on me while I work. That's why I can't let it be connected to the power outlet while at work. I currently have the Seidio 1600mAh battery and the PDAir hardcase.
That's why I've been looking at the Mugen 3000mAh battery and rubberized case which let's you slide the phone without removing, from a store on eBay.
Case: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACK-HARD-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Battery: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EXTENDED-BA...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Will this work?
Thanks.
The 3000mAh battery requires an extended battery cover, which makes the phone thicker. So that case will not work with the rubberized battery; at least the back of it won't. The front probably would still fit.
Yes I was expecting that but I thought that at lower part of the case would cover half of the lower part of the phone. In that case at least most of the phone is covered. But is there no case that will perfectly fit together with the 3000mAh battery with a belt clip preferably a hard or rubberized case?
edit: What are my options really for a better battery life? Portable charger?
i've got the seidio and unfortunately it seems these type of cases 'snap on' to the phone through tabs. so they must be deep enough or it just won't stay on.
i also have a capdase leather case, which has some sort of shallow tray that fits tightly around the bottom of the stock phone (no plastic). i had hoped to use this with the mugen, but the mugen's replacement case tapers in so it won't fit in the capdase case.... so right now if i use the mugen 3000mah, i just take the phone around 'naked'.
i've been pondering the possibility of one of those cases with the half plastic thing that goes over the keyboard will work... the mugen case makes the phone about 1-2mm thicker. but then again, i'm not keen to buy yet another case for the thing.
That's interesting. 1-2mm thicker isn't that much really. But looking at the Capdase leather and the Nakedcellphone's plastic case pictures it seems It was specially made for the standard hatch+battery. I guess the same applies for the Seidio one.
I have an old Axim X50V with an extended battery and a PDAir alu hard case so it shouldn't be impossible to make one for the Kaiser.
Have you checked if the phone with the Mugen battery works with the OEM leather case?
Thanks.
edit: I think I meant the standard leather case.
so far ??? only one will do with the Mugen 3000mAh ...
Kaiser stock case

Unfortunately, the at&t version doesn't come with a case at all. Where can I find the Kaiser stock case? I couldn't find anything on HTC's website.
Thanks,

If we are thinking about the same Kaiser stock case (the horizontal one in leather) then I have tried this one and it isn't optimal. The phone is simply to tightly squeezed inside the case.
Actually I bought a case from the same shop on Ebay that sold the Mugen battery (Nakedcellphone) and it fits perfectly with enough room for ventilation but the sides of the clip are starting to fall off for some reason so I've put that one away. The best option for me would be a hard case probably by PDAir but I can't find one. The problem with these belt cases is that whenever you want to use your phone It's unprotected.
At the moment I'm simply using a thick textile bag for it. I also have the phone around the neck with a necklace. It works ok but I would really like a rubberized or a hard case.

I seem to remember seeing it on bestbuy business. Otherwise try ebay.
I think this is one actually. Looks like this but with HTC logo on the front.

I just received a Samsung branded battery for my Kaiser.
It does not have the metal plate that the OEM battery has.
I am planning on cutting a piece of foil the same size and inserting it under the battery.
Anyone try this?

I would not do this. I do see some contacts on the back of the phone. I do not know what they do. Putting foil down there by a bunch of other battery contacts is just asking for trouble!!

It's a Samusung battery no need to modify anything...
There must have been a reason that the OEM battery had this metal insert which presses up against the earthing contacts in the battery compartment. It could be for RF shielding or for a ground plane for the phone, GPS or WiFi antennas.
Cutting a piece of foil exactly the same dimensions as the OEM battery metal plate and sticking it onto the Samsung battery should effectively put you in the same position as the OEM battery.
I have just neatly cut a sheet of aluminium foil and stuck it on the the replacement battery. All seems to be working fine.
I just got my replacement phone and the stylus barely "clicks" into place and dosent have that "mushy" feeling as you slide it in to place, and it take nothing to jar it loose.
is there a quick fix in this situation?
Two quick fixes 1 you can put a small piece of electrical tape around it depending on how much you need you just can add or subtract or for a more permanent solution bend the stylus ever so slightly to make it fit snugly.
One fix that will cost soem money and take a bit long
Buy a thicker stylus of ebay by thicker i dont mean buy a different phone im saying buy those heavy duty ones they dont say but there fit is a little bit tighter than the normal ones. (my current stylus is a littler skinnier one with a thicker top but i can remove the black top and its a ball point pen
I lost mine and read to avoid the cheapies, so I searched for true OEM replacements. I bought these on eBay and they work very well. There are many offered as generics or clones, only a few have the real ones. oem stylus
there's a piece of plastic that holds it in there. it sits next to the battery.

Thanks, that was driving me nuts too. I just pushed on that piece a bit and now the stylus is back to being nice and secure!

so is there or is there not a spring? if not, are there really magnets holding the screen in place?
Holy cow. I hope you have a backup G2 lol.
is that made out of plastic or metal?

i read thats its made out of rubberized plastic with metal backing. though can't confirm since i have yet to get mine
The bezel around the screen is metal as is the battery/sim/sd card compartment panel.
The rest as a nice ruberized coating that won't flake nor chip like the Vibrant/Etc family of phones.
Of couse, I got a cover for it anyway, but still, the build quality is really nice. I am a little worried about the hinges, but given the track record of the G1, I am not all that worried.
My only real gripes so far:
1. Screen Brightness...
2. To change the SD Card or the SIM, the battery must be removed.
3. Battery life... but this is something I can tweak but I used 80% of my batter in about 4-5 hours.
Anyway, I do like the phone and I have 14 days to decide if I will keep it.
What problem are you having with the screen brightness?

there are no magnets in any htc phones because of the compass... and magnets can damage board parts...

Does it work reliably? Does it add significant thickness with the original battery cover?
Thanks!

Hi!!..
I tried the cheaper amazon and ebay wireless charging inserts with a combination of different situations and yes there pretty good.. I have name brand chargers like the lg puck and the nokia one that is a little larger but i could'nt be happier... yes it had a very small bulge to the back of the stock case and it is so small that it's only a problem if u use a soft backed case like a tpu case.. made the phone kind of wobble in the middle when u set her down... but when I switched to a cheap hard backed case at that point it does not distort any longer and sits flat and fine.. The hard backed case makes finding the sweet spot on the charger a little harder and it takes a little extra to get it started charging simply because the hard backed case i have is WAY thicker than any tpu case I've used so it increases the distance from the receiver to the charger and makes the activation spot harder to find but once it is on its golden and charges just as fast and well as my old s4 I had that had the samsung charging back which made EVERY standard case totally incompatible... which was very frustrating considering I was trying not to wear out my fragile charge port and keep the phone unscratched... It was impossible so I went this way with my note 3 and all cases still fit.. and for $13 shipped for the receiver. It's much cheaper. And considering I still cant find the official back in stores around my area its a much better alternative.
I used these guys and this reciever.. ordered two so far... http://www.ebay.com/itm/31077619690...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I even took one and soldered some pins cut to the correct size to both of the leads and use this bad boy with my hyperion extended battery.. worked like a charm with minimal bulge coming out of the back case... so with the bulge u might want to invest in a fatboy pillow type charger... that way the bulge that is there wont even exist to the surface or bother u at all. Hope this helps.. :highfive:
