i dont know about the oem being the best, ive always read that Anker outperforms OEM
and amazon is a good place to start. Be careful if you decide to get an OEM as its a known thing that some shady folks have tried to pass off some knock-off batteries as genuine even going as far as to have genuine looking Samsung stickers on them. NFC not working is one dead giveaway that its not OEM

Purchase the original one.
Replacement batteries are sometimes known for overheating and other issues.
Look on amazon for one.

Any1 have a Tilt for parts???

I broke the charger inlet/mini USB plug!
To make a long story short, i was trying to put the stylus in it.
I was hoping someone has a spare Tilt i could try to re-solder another one in place.
lmk! ty!
not the most fun solution, but there are chargers for the tilt battery standalone.
I ordered one from seidioonline.com.donotlinkmeautomaticallyxda but it was broken. Waiting 3 weeks for a replacement.
buying a spare battery and stand alone charger is a great idea! thanks!

for $15 you can get one from ebay.

I can't check the ebay link here, but I'd still consider both solutions. I can charge the battery in my phone, but I still bought a separate charger and battery. I'm going to be using the USB charger to charge from my car computer ;-)

you can have it all. the device is fully functional with no major problems or scratches. what´s your offer?
Why to destroy a fully funtional device for making another to looks better? I tought your device is broken or it have major problems ...I'm searching for a device with crashed display, motherboard broken or something like that.
the device actually ha a problem on the mainboard. it only works in 3g mode. if you switch to gsm you are unable to make or receive calls. this is the reason why we are discussing this subject. still interested?

Is your phone a TILT, or a TyTN II? If it is a TyTN II, I am very interested in it. Heck, if it is TILT (from AT&T), I would be interested still I guess.
What are you looking for, for it?

dock with spare battery port...

i saw this in the google videos that came out some months ago, but i have recently come into a spare battery and i want an easier way to charge it. anyone know if this dock has hit production or if a company has maybe taken it upon themselves to offer it? thank you.

This might not be the answer your looking for but i'll give it a shot anyway. There is this that charges your N1 and your spare battery.

Well its half of what google is charging for their dock (obviously). I have read a ton of reviews on both devices and you can't go wrong with either one. One pro is that it has a much bigger lip to hold your phone in. One con is that you can't hook it up to a speaker system like the google one can, at least thats what i've been told. I'm ordering the google dock later this week but if I was in your situation, i'd probably go with the one on ebay. I hope this helps.

Yeah the google dock only charges the battery in your phone. Judging by your second statement, the non-google charger is the way to go. Let us know how it works out for you, i've heard nothing but good things about it.

[Q] Which Kernels will work with Gorilla Gadgets extended battery?

So I was looking at buying an extended battery for my HD2. I read that the ones from Gorilla Gadgets are pretty good, so I thought I'd maybe get one from there. So...
Which kernels will work with this extended battery? From what I read on most of the kernel pages, they only support the OEM HD2 extended battery, so would I HAVE to get one of those to use the battery? Or does it matter ?
I would just buy the OEM, but it's like $20 more+shipping from Britain [ the only place I found them is a British site], and I'd rather not pay that much if I can avoid it.
Thank you for any solutions!
Sorry to bump my thread, but does anyone have any ideas?

If you are in Taiwan as your profile indicates, why not just contact HTC in Taipei? HTC is a Taiwanese company with their worldwide headquarters located in Taoyaun. Here is a map indicating where HTC's Service Center is on Zhong Xiao East Road, Sec. 2 in Taipei. You can also contact them on the web at this page.
That...never crossed my mind! thank you

No problem, you are welcome. If you can not still get a battery let me know. I have a few connections with HTC. Let me know if you have any trouble, or you have success getting a new battery.

Where does replacement batteries sold?

We all know that the Oneplus 2 has a non user replaceable battery. However, trying to remove the cover hiding the interiors of the device would show the battery which can easily be removed, even by newbies.
Does anyone know where we can order a replaceable battery? Is it even possible to order this from Oneplus? if so, how much would it cost?

Hi would you by any chance still have a link to buy a battery replacement?
Has anyone replaced his battery? I'm thinking of doing that to my phone, but not sure where to find an original battery. Does anyone know where I can order one from?

Replaced Battery!

I had my battery replaced today in my Nexus 6 and wow what a difference. No more stuttering sound, crashing when playing games, or shutting down at 30%. They showed me the old battery and it was like jelly and deformed. I could put finger prints in the battery!

Don't buy the cheapest batteries. See if you can find a brand or seller that you trust. Two reasons:
1) some cheap batteries have lower capacity
2) bad batteries can catch fire

I need to replace mine but the ubreak near me cant get the battery. Is there a brand you would recommend?
It's really easy, the hardest part is not stripping the cheap screws Moto used

Also the wireless charger is easy to break

did by any chance you have the max volume bug and this fixed it?
has anyone been able to fix it? i know it's an old issue, but with all the research i've done there is nothing clear about the problem. there is a ton of ppl who have reported it. i understand this was 2 3 years ago. i just want to keep this phone. thx in advanced.
I had the same volume bug I used blackbird kernel and new battery that helped with the issue

ANY battery you buy for a N6 is a fake / counterfeit. They work but are not from Motorola.

I don't work for Motorola. I have a friend that owns a cell/pc repair shop. EZ 30 battery was discontinued a while ago.
