Lol pure quality. Isn't the original battery rated at like 4200 mah? Maybe I'm comparing the wrong specs but those say 1200 mah. I'm going off what my battery pro widget tells me, it could be cracked out.

Nvm lol I was looking at the wrong stat.

Well, it's going to be hard to find a perfect replacement battery, since I kind of like the all-yellow inside of the Aria, but it's probably really expensive from HTC or AT&T. Well, at least the phone is new so I won't have to worry about it for a long time.

@tiga,
check out if there are any replacements for the hd mini, i'm almost positive the aria is a droided mini, the batteries should be the same and they are yellow too!!!!!

HTC HD Mini Battery

Since the Aria and the HD Mini are almost identical, are the accessories the same. I think most of the cases should work. Are the batteries same?

+1. Also interested. Cannot tell from pictures.

I am VERY interested if this will work http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-3500-mAh-Battery-Backup-Solar-Charger-P83981.htm!
I am going to try to find an HD mini forum.
EDIT This is not goes on the back of aria, it is just stand alone charger. bummer.
EDIT There is not much posts in HD mini fourm.

On the HTC wiki, it shows the accessories for the hd mini are also compatible with the aria. Cases and batteries.

From the research that i have done they are exactly the same phone.
I ordered a replacement battery cover and battery from ebay, will report back when they arrive.

I bought a HD Mini battery from ebay. It is the same exact battery as the Aria. While I am sure it is counterfeit, it has a yellow HTC covering. It works fine so far, but I haven't timed it against the genuine original battery yet.

What's the miliamp per hr? Aria's is 1200. 1500 is ideal and standard on the higher end smartphones with 1Ghz processors to get a full day use out of a charge.

The yellow ones on ebay are 1200 mah, they have 1300mah but they look VERY cheap.

It is listed at 1200mAh--indeed, it is identical in appearance to the genuine HTC Aria battery, except the color is slightly darker--but, I would take those claimed numbers with a grain of salt.
That said, it has lasted all day today and I have 62% left, so it doesn't look bad.

can anyone confirm that the hd mini cases fit the aria?

Yes, I can confirm this too. I got a cheap silicone case for the HD mini off ebay and it fits just fine.

So, what was the result of this test? Does this battery really works with Aria?
P.S. Found answer in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780682

The docks, batteries and Cases, even the battery cover for the HD mini are all compatible with the Aria.
I thought this was a known fact. I have all of these - batter cover, batteries, and many cases that are actually for the HD Mini. My favorite transparent TPU case is actually for an HD Mini. It's the same fricken phone. LOL.

Yes, the HD mini battery does work, but I'm not sure that I actually get more battery life out it.

Thanks, Guys...
Thanks for this info, guys--you can bet I've been wasting hours trying to find this stuff out...to me, the Aria will go down in history like the Commodore Amiga--just a uniquely great product, but plagued by some bad timing (how many iPhone releases?), etc.
The comparison, to me, though, ends when I realize how much more poorly the Aria was supported than the Amiga (or add your favorite 'left behind' computer here).

has anyone tried this battery? it supposed to have 1600mah?

im using 1500mah battery bought from HK seller in eBay, it's work fine.

i'm using aoonen HTC BB92100 1800mAh. I do not see much difference between stock 1200 and my new 1800.

[Q] Other phones that have same physical size battery?

So I am looking for a new battery for my Epic 4g, but I don't feel like purchasing one lol.
So this leads to my question:
My friend works at a Sprint store and said he can grab me a battery from an Epic 4g or another phone that has the same physical size but more capacity.
I am seeking help in finding information on other Sprint phones that use the same "physical" size battery as the Samsung Epic 4G uses...
I am hoping to acquire a battery from another phone that has 3500+mAh. Anyone have any suggestions?

Epic touch works just fine. Although I don't condone the "stealing" at least spot the dude 10$.

The phone will feel obviously heavier, and the cover will be slightly loose, having trouble staying snapped shut. But it seems to become accustom to the stretch and you'll get used to the different feel of the phone too.

Yes, it is a noticeable difference; not an issue, just a difference.
The cover does not exactly fit. There is a bulge where the top of the thicker battery causes it to slightly deform And the bottom snaps are not as tight being that the cover is now a bit mis-shapen.
And thicker battery = heavier battery.
It is noticeable the first couple of weeks. But I've become accustomed to it.

There is a version for our phone its meant for the 1st Galaxy S line 1800 mAh by Anker. So I have no difference in battery size or problems with the back. No deformity or thickness difference.
So both of you take note of that there is 2 versions of the 1800 mAh. 1. The ET4G 1800, 2. Galaxy S 1800 mAh meant for the fascinate, epic 4g, att cap.

after market battery
I had this same issue with the OEM battery. (sorry the mechanic in me) I went to sprint and bought the 2400 mAh battery but it came with a new back cover. its almost a 1/2 in thicker. It was only $40 and i like it. yeah, my phone is heavier and alittle awkward to hold, but i have a major increase in battery life over the stock battery.

Why spend 40$ when you can buy a decent 3500 mAh for 15$ or even 20$ and is the same thickness as your cover, not to mention there are 2x Hyperion 3500 mAh that are very good for 19.99$ or 2x 1800 Ankers that get very good battery life without any thickness at all?
I mean its pointless to buy a battery that's 40$ when you clearly have better options out there is all I'm saying.

Nice to know. I got sucked in by the sprint rep. He has the epic as well too. He also has the battery I bought. I was partly jelous cuz my wife was upgrading to the iphone 4S. I wanted the epic touch but not due to upgrade until next year. So yeah I got sucked in. Should I google to find the batteries? Or do you have a link?

Not to thread crap, but Google Seidio extended batteries. They usually test at far less than their advertised rating. They make nice cases, but their batteries aren't very well regarded in the smartphone enthusiast circles.

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3

There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

I had great experience with the Seidio batteries for my Palm Pres, so other than the rather high price (and my concern about fit in my car dock), I am seriously considering this. {ProfJonathan}

Extended Battery Brands

Hey guys,
I was considering purchasing an Extended Battery for my Optimus 2X, and found the many various brands available. The best one's I've found after quite a bit of reading include Mugen and Seidio. The problem is, Seidio doesn't offer the largest capacity (if I am going to do this, I'm going to max the capacity out), and Mugen is at about $100 for the 4500mAH battery, which is quite a bit. After reading the optimus 2x dedicated accessories forum, I came acrosz a recent thread about a 5000mAh MPJ Battery, which according to the post, works great, at am affordable price of $30. On the site, the 3 reviews are dated the exact same day, and in the product picture, battery is spelt incorrectly. My question is, can these brands be trusted, even after what appear to be a few good reviews? Thanks.

To be honest, I never even heard of them. Mugen, Seidio, Anker, RavPower, Zerolemon, and Hyperion are the better known brands you can trust. Everything else, I'm not so sure about. It could be an OK battery, but from my experience a lot of the unknown brands put a capacity sticker on it which is exaggerated, and they have questionable quality. We just recently had a discussion in Note 2 section where someone spoke very highly of Gorilla batteries, read a lot of positive reviews, and they even had a fancy website. Once that guy actually got it - it was a disappointment which exaggerated capacity.
Also, keep in mind, Mugen and Seidio makes their own batteries, so they charge a lot more for it. Others re-branded products from HK and just have a tight quality control and offer extended warranty (like Anker has 18 month warranty), so they charger a lot less for their batteries.
I heard only good things about Muugen quality, but it's way too overpriced. I have used INNOCELL from Seidio, actually reviewed it for Note 2. It was a good battery, but still overpriced. Anker, RavPower and Hyperion would be the choice for best price/performance/value.

Thank you so much for your reply. It seems that for the maximum size available (approx. 4500mah), Mugen is the only way to go for $70 at Amazon. I will think about whether or not to make the purchase. Thanks again.

don't go with hyperion, they are known to overstate their true battery capacity. i believe vectron (a guru on this forum) actually proved this.

Guru is a big word, but thanks anyway for kind words
I believe I pointed out to other threads on XDA where people removed the label off Hyperion battery to reveal the actual value, smaller than advertised. They make ok batteries, but sometime have a shady labeling to "boost" their capacity
