I saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-WILDFIRE-...neBatteries&hash=item19c20e4292#ht_2661wt_905
want to know if it's any good.
Also... this anygood? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-HIGH-...ltDomain_3&hash=item3f05313e8a#ht_2200wt_1139
Basically, these are just a numbers on batteries like that (cheap, chinese..)
No quality at all, i wouldn't recommend buying this.
Agreed. They dont look genuine at all and may potentially harm your wildfire.
I ordered one. I will tell you how it works after i will test it.
Cool. I was about to order one to test.
Can't wait for the little review
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
anyone find out if these things are any good?
$10 seems really cheap for a battery.
For a comparison, do you know if you can buy a new battery from HTC and how much they cost ?

hi I bought from ecell and it is good (3-4 days) original less then 2 days.
so no problems at all then?
edit: ecell dont sell the 2430mah batteries
WOW seems to be working.3-4 days instead of 1-2.Good but it could possibly harm our phone.
Usually the reason why certain items are cheap (especially on ebay) is because of its poor quality.
BUT, on the other hand, you cant always judge by comparing prices with big companies such as htc as once its in their possession its usually been through a few hands and they have to make up the extra costs aswell.
Therefore its usually cheaper because its coming direct from the manufacturer, or from a supplier directly linked to the manufacturer in the same country. And of course certain taxes can be avoided by marking the products as 'gifts' when shipping...
i've had my eye on a 3700mah (i think) battery and cover to accommodate the slightly bigger size, as im quite a heavy user and the current battery is lucky to last half a day. the size is a bit of a put off though so i might just get the next one down from that, instead.
Yeaa you're right.We usually pay for the name of the product.Sometimes no-names are on the same quality as those who sells big companies as HTC etc.
im still not too sure on this. But 2430mah in a thin battery?! Doesnt sound legit.
Anyone got the 2430mAH Battery and have some results for us ?
I received it yesterday. I charged it this morning and already it indicates 50% off. I will return it and ask for a refound.
Try clear battery stats first. Then reload. Phone Cant know the right capacity else

I was just looking for a good deal on an extended battery on Amazon and came across this jewel...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042TY68C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1N1UQZS4G6GV9
I have seen the price on this fluctuate all the way to $19.99 over the past week, and it is $5.99 right now...
It may not be Seidios, but for that kind of money... who cares?
I hope this helps people out there...
Not again...aren't there hundreds of threads relating to this same read that you added or am I being ignorant
Edit, these are the same ones on eBay from hong kong for like 6 dollars

True, but the reason why I posted this is because you are buying this from Amazon and not from some other place in Hong Kong via eBay (read faster shipping.... I am getting mine in 4 days as opposed to 2 weeks+ from most vendors in Asia on eBay). Plus, I tend to like Amazon's customer protection a bit better than eBay's tbh.
You are correct also in the fact that there is the thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857957), which talks about the 3500 mAh batteries (as well as a few others) but this one has digressed into a heated debate as to why Seidio wants to profit out of batteries, so posting in there would have been kinda useless.
Truth be told, I am not asking a question about the battery (which is the case for most of the threads that you are referring to), and if I would have had a question, I would have searched for an answer as I always do. I am announcing something that I hadn't seen posted here, which is special (limited time) price for a high capacity battery from a very much trusted online seller. But hey... what do I know... I am only one of the Site's admins...
PS. Next time, please don't flame.

i got this same battery from amazon a few months ago for $25...it shipped really fast and it still last all day everyday, i never have to worry about bringing a charger with me or extra stock battery like before...last week i tried out my original stock battery because i havent used it since i rooted and thought maybe with my new rom and kernels it would last longer, it was dead in two hours, so i put this one back in...from when i wake up early in the morning til when i go to sleep late at night i still have anywhere between 50-75% battery left..i recommend it.

I have not gotten this yet, but the back covers for the 3500 mAh batteries I have seen pics of are not that much bigger... then again, until I don't see one live, I will not trust pics. More than likely, your current case will not work though as the battery is considerably larger to begin with.
Hope this helps.
thanks thunder, did you order one? I an hoping the case fits. As it is a bit lose. Who know again 12 bucks can not go wrong.

Just a few bad reviews but the good ones far outweigh them... it could very well be because of the charge/discharge cycles...

i'm assuming this means that after you fully charge it...DO NOT put it back on a charger until it is pretty much dead?? Then proceed to charging it back to full??? I would like clarity on this as my battery will be arriving today (which I bought off ebay for $11 from a retailer in Chicago) and it didn't mention that in the listing.
Ceeb thanks for asking the question I was going to ask. As normally I do not fully discharge my battery. But I am curious to hear why. Also everyone is saying use an external charger I have been using my old tp2 for that would that work as well with this battety?
Thunder is the cheap hdmi cable an amazon brand? I bought 3 amazon brand ones for my tuner, blu-ray and tv they worked better then the 60 buck one I had. And they were like 8 bucks.

Glad you posted this.. Keeps me from having to make my own thread... Both my friend and I both purchased this battery.. And we both agree its awesome! Was $13 shipped when we got it. Battery lasts all day no problem, especially once I put Warm2.2 with an SBC undervolting kernel. Cover fits as good as stock and doesn't look obnoxious like the Seidio. It is still bulky, but not too bad.
As far as the charging/draining debate... I did 4 cycles from full to completely drained, and my friend did not (just topped off like normal). I have to say our batteries perform the same. So I'm not sure the charging/draining is necessary. I still say it can't hurt, so I would still do it. As far as the using an external charger, I would say that also isn't necessary. Difficult to get the extended to 100% with the stock ROM, because the phone stops charging once it hits 100% and then charges back up when it drops to 90% (as far as I know). So for that reason, the battery drops from 100% to 92% or so pretty quickly, but then drains slow after that. As I said, I switched to an SBC Kernel and it goes all the way to 100% (4.2Volts) and stays there. Then actually stays at the upper range for a long time, effectively giving you your 8% back.
Overall, this battery is awesome... Highly recommend!
this is the same as china batt i bought from ebay. been using mine for 4 mos now and its still doing good. one full charge lasts like 1 day and 15 hours with 6-7 hours wake time.
I really do not want to mod this phone I have the Sprint warrenty. So it looks like it will still charge so I am excited for days I go and use it for social media pictures, and series radio streaming. Thought I have to figure out my msl so I can fix the streaming stuff.

I've bought a a replacement battery on eBay. It looks exactly like the original which came with the phone, except for the white stick at the top (in my HTC HD2 days, the white stick was a sign of fake - or the other way round).
Thing is: with my normal usage: calls, video, SMS, WiFi etc. it is lasting around 9hr. The original is lasting more. Not amazingly more, but 20%-30% more, and % metering of remaining battery look way more reliable in the original.
Also, a very strange thing happens in the new battery: if I turn off the phone with say 33% of battery, when I turn it on again it may go to 7%. Then it INCREASES up to 13% or more, and then back down again.
This may be a fake battery? A defective battery?
its a genuine fake;
eg: high quality fake.
Meaning, it is good enough to use (better than the unbranded ones), but I can't expect it to behave and last like the real original one?
Thanks
I have same real fake one. Usage seems similar to original and for only £10 I can't complain

where did you buy it from?
First question has as always got to be before buying a Samsung battery.
Have Samsung started selling the battery yet .
jje
ebay has been overrun with "genuine fakes". Although they are not technically BAD, the voltage detection is almost always WAY off and very problematic, which leads me to believe the battery could harm devices with long term use. I bought three batteries for my HD2, one which I knew was a non genuine, two which I thought were genuine and only one turned out to be, but it was purchased from a US seller who sold them as genuine or full refund, taken from actual HTC phones.
I even bought a battery for my samsung digital camera on ebay once, guy said "GENUINE, NOT FAKE, SAMSUNG OFFICIAL", even sent an original (see genuine fake) box for proof. Popped in the battery and lo and behold: FAKE! Guy offered a full refund and said to ship battery back. Which I never did, because shipping back to China costs twice as much as the item you buy.
You reaaaaally have to be careful buying batteries, flash memory or any electronic for that matter off ebay. Crooks everywhere. Especially when they ship from China!

I don't have one of those.
But the things I readed on the internet aren't that great.
It looks like an good 1500 mAh last like 1.5x longer than an Andida 2000 mAh.
The 1500 mAh quality one is more expensive but yeah it's an expensive phone so why not buy an good quality battery
The Andida drops down more fast at lower percentages by the way.
Hope this helps for you
It's just not possible to get 2000mah from the same form factor at this price..

You are wrong. It's possible to get more power without increasing the size of, but traders from ebay can fakement it.
I ordered this from Mobilefun. They still don't have stock so have to wait.
What I read about Andida is that they are quite good. But lets see.
It is not a big investment. Something like 11 euros. Just hope it doesn't explode inside the phone
yep, I will buy and try it as soon as it will be in stock.

I'd seen them on mobliefun, did some searching last night, found them for £5.60 on obostore seems a bit to cheap!
Battery from mugen is good as well
I ordered mine from obostore and paid around 5€ (no shipping cost)
I must say, it sure is not lasting more than the samsung one (even if "2000mAh" suggest otherwise) but for such a cheap price, as long as they don't explode, you can keep it as an emergency spare battery.
So far it hasn't exploded D) and no signs of swelling.
I bought one from Mobilefun. Only on its 3rd charge but can't tell any difference from original. No better but no worse! Hope it improves with a few more charges.
Well I heard there's a bit of luck when you buy HK batteries.
Some are better than others
I'll try to calibrate mine again properly and give a feedback.
Have this battery and the stock battery can last longer than the adinda battery. Just get yourself a 3500 mah battery. It work wonders

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it
E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!
yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.
Hi,
I have an One M9 which needs a new battery. Does anyone have a suggestion what to get? All I could find (here in Germany) was a battery from PolarCell, which did not get good customer reviews, or doubtful "original" batteries.
Any brand would do it. I'll have to check if they are available here anyways.
Thx
I just opted to buy from one from the ebay sellers that sell used ones....probably from service centres getting rid of them in bulk. The first one I got was not great, only holding around 2200mah according to accubattery. I complained and had another one sent which was much better, accubattery reading a stored charge of around 2700mah. So yeah, in the end I got a decent battery for around £4.50. (+ a spare 2200mah battery).
