Hi,
I've installed WP7 from Yuki/XboxMod but is it possible to use this battery:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2600ma...tery-battery-cover-case-for-htc-leo-hd2-91228
The biggest one?
Or is it better to buy this 2 pack?:

I need to buy a new one because I can't do one day with it..
I've heard that some rom's does not work with it.
Greetz,
Kevin
I bought similar extended battery, but failed to gain any significant increase in battery life. I am using Xbmod/Yuki BTTF ROM. Even if I charge with external charger, the phone doesn't seem to recognise the extra capacity.

you can use the bigger battey and use an external charger, that will give you a full charge, to use it you just pop the battery out and restart the device when it reports low, that usually works at least it does for mine anyway
course if you got an cradle with external charger then you can buy a couple of batteries an keep some spare
HTC Extended Battery
Hi guys,
I'm planing to install WP7 on my HD2 but I don't know if the original HTC extended battery is supported once I intalled WP7 on it.
I see that you were talking about some others extended batteries but the one made by HTC self. Is it supported?
Thanks in advance

I have the genuine HTC HD2 EXTENDED BATTERY, BA E400 2300MAH myself, and use it in substitution with regular battery...
Yes it'll work but your battery status readings will be incorrect i.e. the charge status bar in top right corner. However, the battery will last about twice as long as the stock one, but your batt status would be on low for that matter or as the guy in post somewhere above suggests, you can restart the phone when the indicator is low and get back accurate batt. level reading.
With that being said, EVEN THE GENUINE BATTERY WON'T CHARGE WHEN IT'S IN USE/IN THE PHONE. You're going to need external charger or charge it in Android (dual boot).
Good Luck!
Re : the 2 pack deal with external charger
aM i right in saying they cannot be charged when in use??
Would this have any repercussions with the genuine battery? Ie charging when in use?
Had my HD 18 months now and while the phone is immaculate condition(always had a cover and SP) on ,the battery has taken some stick and I'm not at the stage where it needs charged everyday,going to be selling it at the end of the months so looking for a decent replacement battery to put in prior to selling .Any suggestions for UK suppliers

Just find a place to get an OEM battery.
Go for a Muggen Battery. It has a 1500mAh rating

Don't do this, you'll be overpaying and not getting oem capacity by a long shot.
I'd personally recommend an anker battery. I got two for 16 dollars and equal if not better than the OEM I had

Has any review confirmed the charging time needed by the Nexus 7?

Confirmed on Pocket Now - 0 to 100% in 7 hours.
Appalling
The ubergizmo.com review says 3 hours.
I for one don't trust the 7 hour figure.
Wait for a few more reviewers to test it.

It's very possible that he used a low volt phone charger or.....charged it through the computer. The Kindle Fire is around 2:49 I think, the battery is very slightly smaller on the Nexus 7 so it should charge a little faster.

and don forget they don't have the n7 that we will have, maybe charging time is less on the consumer models
I use the HP Touchpad charger & it takes around 2-3hr or less.

soo currently the Newtrent battery packs are on sale and i would like some opinions about the packs. :highfive:
Not needed for 95% of people who can find a power outlet of some kind once every 24 hours.
If you're going camping for a week I guess it could work. Or if you game on your phone 12 hours a day.
Not needed for me.

I have two battery packs. One slimline Anker battery that is great for emergencies. That one has a cord built in to charge. That one is like 3200mAh
I also have a new trent 10000mah one as well. That one travels with me. Has two usb ports to charge up my N4 and N7. Pretty fast too. However doesn't hold it's charge as well as the Anker IMO, but works.

If I'm going to rely on a battery pack, I'd rather get the biggest capacity of ~13000 mah.
I've had a New Trent 11,000mAh external battery pack for well over a year now and it's been pretty solid overall. My biggest complaint is that charging the battery pack itself is a little bit of a pain in the ass because it's really picky about the connection to the wall wart, you have to turn the piece that plugs into the battery pack until it connects just right to get a good charge. I assume this could just be a minor defect in my unit. I would say check out some of the other options out there as well, I picked up a 5,000mAh external battery for $20 on Amazon as a stocking stuffer for my wife this last year.

I wish I had waited two days. I just ordered a new HD 16GB on eBay for $169 + shipping. I think it was from someone in NY that got the earlier deal you posted. But it was not directly from B&N, which I would have preferred.

Also the covers for both models are $25. Not super cheap, but they added a lot of very pretty covers for the HD only a couple of weeks ago!
The ridiculous proprietary 30pin charging cable which is impossible to find anywhere else is also now $15 if people were looking to get another set or can't wait for monoprice to figure this one out
best buy has it for cheap too.

In for 1. I've been eyeing the HD+ after demoing one at Target during the holidays. Price was right, size was right. And a few days ago my Touchpad decided it was done.. great timing.
(add in a $25 B&N gift card I'd been saving and I can now use my existing google apps, $165 w/ tax, quite pleased)
Picked one up yesterday, this is my first tablet, got it for $198 with tax, can not go wrong for this price, fantastic screen, good battery life, not the fastest tablet out there, but for the money and specs it can not be beat. Only issue I have is with the charging cable, not the cable itself but the charging block that plugs into the wall, seems like it is the only one you can use to charge the device, using any other charging block does not work, it also does not charge while pluged into the computers usb port. Otherwise it is a fantastic device, especially now that yu have access to the google play store.

It does charge, it just charges slower. Much slower.
Best Buy sells the 32GB model for $199.99.
The HD+ may have its limitations but a 1080p screen and 32GB memory for $199 is pretty good.
is it worth it to upgrade from a nook color? Ive been looking to upgrade as my nook color is 2 years old...with a bad battery and no warranty it still works....but it just isnt up to scratch anymore.

I just use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-hig...=1367893383&sr=8-1&keywords=5v+2a+usb+charger
a 5v 2A charger (same as the Nook's wall charger is rated). Works great and charges the HD+ just as fast.
^^
Any idea whether it has 2A rating combined or for each USB port?
HD+ AC adapter is 5.1V/2A. I tried using HD+ cable along with the Nook Color's AC adapter (5V/1.8A) and the combo also works, ie the amber light comes on, and it says charging in the UI. Probably charges a bit slower. A Nook Tablet's AC adapter would probably work as well.
I tried a 5V/1A adapter and no amber charging light.
>Any idea whether it has 2A rating combined or for each USB port?
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, an adapter's amp rating always means the overall rating, not a per-port rating.
Got mine at Target
I just picked up a Nook HD+ 32GB at Target for $199. Then saved an extra 5% with my Target Red Card. Ran over there on my lunch break, so I haven't had time to play with it at all. Can't wait to get home tonight and charge it up! It will definitely be a step up from my Nook Color with CM7.
They offered a 2-year extended warranty plan for $17. I don't normally go for those plans, but this one seemed cheap, and I already saved over $100 on the Nook, so I bought it. Maybe if nothing else, I can get a new battery out of it in a couple of years (the woman at Target specifically mentioned that it covered the battery). Anybody else buy an extended warranty plan on their Nook (or other tech, for that matter)?

Nice, but if I am going to spend $10 on just the AC adapter, I might as well buy the original AC adapter with charging cable from B&N for $15.
just picked one up for my mother, got my wife one for xmas. So happy now it has official playstore support. Now to just put my wifes back to stock software.
I got a BN adaptor/cord for my HD+ from Staples for $8 but that was because they were dumping everything nook and it was the last one.
