[Q] Extended Battery w/ From eBay. Suggest Sellers? [First Time Post]

XDA Members,
This is my first post, and the HTC Evo is my first true Android device (late, I know, but I tried the Cliq and... eh...)
We all know that the battery for the Evo isn't enough. I'm on eBay examining my options, and noticed that there are extended batteries sold in the US that all pretty much look the same.
Are there any particular sellers that you would recommend? I know what ultimately matters is the brand and what the label says but I figured that this forum chock full of experienced Android enthusiasts would have certain people they'd recommend for certain products.
If not eBay, I have a couple of cheaper batteries available on Amazon.
Thanks!

the best performing battery is the stock oem htc battery, unless you want to use an extended battery door and make the evo look like a whale. then get the official sprint extended battery, it's about 50 bux. I get about 30 hours on my stock battery thanks to the great kernels and roms on this forum.

Mugen seems like it keeps a lot of people happy. I'm stock though

I just got 2 Galilo with charger and they seem to be as good as the stock ones.

I went the cheap route for and extended battery and I got EXACTLY what I paid for, a CHEAP battery.....lol
Now i have to man up and take the loss on all the CHEAP accessories I brought for me and my wifes EVO and drop big $ on Seidio...
My advice do it right the 1st time....

What kernals and roms are u using to get 30 hours? I'm lucky if i get 8

How are you guys getting so many hours? I only get like 8 Hours on my heavy use and i bought a 3500mah extended battery wtf? I'm also using the net Netarchy sbc 3.2 more havs and mym rom with setcpu running profiles. What am I doing wrong? I even have juice defender running aswell.

well my guess is hes using Myn's Warm RLS5.
as for the kernel. probably found a kernel that helps with the battery life more than the performance.

[Q] Evo for sale question...

I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.
Thanks guys/gals

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.

How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price

another vote for craigslist.org

swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Sweet...appreciate the advice. Just listed on swappa.com. Went and tested the thunderbolt today for about 20 mins. Damn that thing is quick and smooth as butter. I love my evo and I have it running top notch, but there really wasn't a comparison.

Uhhhh....what?

Selling my evo:D

I put my EVO up on eBay moving onto the 3D one not a bad price for how new it is and mint also the stuff that comes with it only 3 months old.
How many of you moving onto the 3D ?

you might want to start the bid a something low and let it grow, it will be hard to sell when you start high. Just a fellow ebay power seller tip.
And i wish i could afford the 3d but i have to wait! lol

Like he said, low starting bid and set a reserve price at whatever you're comfortable selling the phone at.

Lol this is a 0004 going on 3 months pretty much brand new never been without case never been flash happy on it so no loads of flashing done and its not a refurbished unit . Sucker is clean sweet and wouldn't be selling just won't need it anymore and not gonna sell it for cheap since the phone by its self is 200 plus all the **** that comes with it is brand new would be shooting my self in the foot for selling it for anything less.

What were the differences between 003 and 004?

From what I have read camera been swapped out to fix issues people had in 0002 and 3 lcd been swapped out and the buttons feel better firmer . Camera is nice . Buttons feel better any quirks from the 0003 are fixed in the 0004 builds.

Ahh ok thanks, I never knew the differences
I'm waiting on my Sprint rep to call me and see what deal she can offer me on the 3D lol.
I hate the waiting game.

Lol wife got me mine when I get home it will be there hope my sexy EVO sells.

Nice! Enjoy your new 3D.

That's a good deal. Best eBay price when I bought mine (March '11) was $285...and that was for a refurb with ONLY phone/SD/battery shipped in an envelope!!

try craigslist, and make sure you bring friends during transaction. I heard horror stories!!

Have fun with evo 3d dude

Also, a post such as this should go into the Market place forums.

How do i spot fake OEM batteries?

There are a lot of batteries out now claiming to be OEM batteries for the Evo. They are red like the original. But saw somewhere that sellers were takeing the aftermarket black batteries and just making them red. Are there any ways to tell if it really is a OEM battery? Besides the obvious, buying it from sprint or htc. And if you know of a place to buy them on the cheap let me know plz. thx.

price
No clue what an oem battery costs. I'm using the chicitec from amazon 2 for 28.99. Good deal,better life. Will post my comarisons in that thread tonight.

I heard checking the back of the battery will tell you the mAh and reveal if the battery is real or a fake. Not too familiar with batteries but that's what I read. (lift up the sticker covering the battery)

A REALLY EASY TEST and it works everytime... first suck on someones stick. Then put the battery in your mouth. If you die then it is real. if you don't. it's fake. lmao.

How old are you? Really?

guess that how he did it

I bought a set of two batteries for $10 on ebay. They were 2000 ahm while the original htc battery are 1500ahm. the problem was that the ones I got were lithium ion. Make sure you get lithium polymer. It makes a HUGE diff. The twp together last but its a pain halting out the one fort the other. Not to mention changing them.

Go to sprint chat. Tell the rep nicely your battery life sucks. He or she has been instructed to handle your issue by giving you credit for a new battery. Go to Sprint store. Purchase extended battery or regular battery. Go home and back on chat. Tell the new rep you were told you would be credited. He or she will do it. Next month see it on your bill.
To ensure 100% oem get it from Sprint. Plus the method I mentioned is free
