[Q] Slim 1800mA Battery?

Hello everyone!
Has anyone heard of an 1800 battery for the TB that is/will be the same size as the stock battery? Something available now or coming out soon? Also, are 3rd party brands good/safe to use in my TB? (I've heard good things about some company that sounds like Seido or something...??).
Right now, the 1600mA one that's out just doesn't seem like that much of a jump, and I definitely DONT want the bulky 2750 one.
I figure with an 1800mA battery and once my TB is rooted (and I can dial down the CPU while it's sleeping/standy), I will start to get decent battery life out f it.

Do a search its been answered. I'd give you a link but I'm using my phone.

1600 is more likely what you'll find.

Yeah, so apparently, this precise question hasn't exactly been answered (maybe I'm missing it somewhere? If so, please link.) As the OP suggested, im not really into the 1600, especially with all the talk of the siedio's supposed overrating on their batteries. Has anyone heard any rumours? Reviews? Anything at all?

supposedly htc is working on some like they have for the inc and evo the 1800 mah which dont require a new back.

I hope this true. I would love a longer lasting battery that's slim.

Yeah I'm not too excited about getting a giant battery that will make my phone even bigger. Hopefully, HTC will release a slim 1800mAH battery.

Agreed I decided to go for 3 of the generic 1500mah fleabay batteries, but if an 1800mah was eventually available I'd be all over it.

If the door was easier to take on and off this would be a good solution. Better have some good strong nails or you will be carrying a tool along with the 3 extra batteries

Lol, it is a little tough, but I don't have any issues like others have been having. I just grip it with my right hand down near the kick stand and pop it off using my left thumbnail piece of cake to me. So maybe I have mutant tough nails or just a bit more rough with pulling the battery cover off

Might want to add a extra battery door to your Tbolt battery man purse

I had one of these in my DX and I LOVED it. Hoping that they bring it to the TB.

A strronger battery from HTC would be great. I don't trust the cheap knock offs in a $600 phone that sucks juice likes there no tomorrow.

Battery Cover with Metal insert PICS

As the title says. It fits perfect and actually adds a little weight to the phone. Let me know if you have any questions...
UPDATE: I JUST LEARNED THAT THESE BATTERY COVERS DRASTICALLY REDUCE LTE SPEEDS!!!!!! I WILL BE RETURNING THIS ASAP FOR ONE OF THESE http://www.ebay.com/itm/261059674646?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1127

This. I've heard reports of these covers interfering with Wi-Fi and NFC connections.

Wifi is cool, no changes. I don't have any way to test nfc yet

I can confirm that nfc does NOT work. I have one of these on my phone and everytime I gotta use nfc I have to remove the cover... its a pain in the ass.. :/

Anytime I go to 7-11. Sometimes once a day and end of the day when I get home for my textile. Currently I have the stock one on cuz It got annoying to pull my case off and battery cover to use but each their own. If u hardly use nfc it wont matter that much. I do agree tho the phone feels alot more solid with it on.

I ordered the white carbon fiber one so I can be unbranded! Thanks OP
Blazing Galaxy S3

Just got my blue version of this battery door in today. Love it! Looks way better than the stock door, makes the phone feel like higher quality, adds a little weight, and snaps on tighter than the stock door. So far testing it in my house, my wifi signal and cell signal are the same with the battery door on and off and i dont use NFC so i can test that....

it knocked down my 4g from 30 mb to 11 mb......

[ACCESSORY] FlyGrip

for those of you who lovr bigger phones or tablets/e readers...then the FlyGrip is the accessory for you. the FlyGrip goes on the back of your device and allows you to have a firm grip of your device and doubles as a kickstand. check out the site
http://flygrip.com
this is not my company, they have partnered with Me and i am just promoting their product

They are $30 online with free shipping. they come in black, white, green, red, yellow, and much more!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I've seen this and reviews a while back but it's not my cup of tea... Though I can say that for anyone other than past loyal customers $30 is probably too high a price. Cost of materials can't be more than $5-$10. I'm really not trying to be **** either just stating my 2¢
Sent from my Sprint GS3

honestly you're right. $30 is a bit high for an accessory. if i were in charge I'd sell for max $15
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I agree, tis a bit spendy.

yeah exactly. i couldn't agree more @
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The product isn't worth $30 but they have a patent pending on it. I own one and i have to say, i love using it. I swapped back to my old Incipio Sillicrylic because I was in an environment that need the extra cover. After I got home, i swapped back to the Flygrip right away. I like that it doesn't bulge my phone up all around and i can touch every part of the screen without feeling that i'll slip the phone through my hands and end up in mud/water/concrete. It took me a while to get used to putting my fingers through it. in the end, i'm satisfied.

It's a little steep in price, but I was more than willing to pay for it and might buy another since mine is just slightly large. It is really useful and I get so many comments on it. Plus it's really cool that it doubles as a stand in both landcape and portrait modes. My only regret is that it definitely means it will be inconvenient to do the wireless charging hack and I think it might interfere with Google wallet. In the wireless charging hack the phone must sit flush with the charging pad and it may be the same with using Google wallet to pay via PayPass. I'm still looking into that last one.

yeah that's my only complaint as well and if it interferes with S Beam, etc

I've just tested last night with my girlfriend's S3 and it works perfectly fine. She has the Incipio Sillicrilic case and I had my Flygrip. even though that 1+ cm distance from both phones, i've sent a song and a few pictures successfully.

$29.95.
WOW....... Price is ridiculous. I usually pay for an over priced item now and then for something I am interested in but the price on the FlyGrip is really pushing it. Most defiantly passing on this product!

That was my issue I wasnt sure if NFC still would work. And I dont know if it will stick to my Otter box

the double sided tape is from 3M so it should stick no problem unless the outer shell is soft. but that's going to be pretty thick attaching the flygrip to it. i'm using the flygrip solo and it feels very secure. i haven't dropped my phone(knock on wood).

No offense, but I lol'd when I saw it. I lol'd again when I saw the price.

Hahaha yeah its pretty expensive for an accessory'

Lifeproof Case on eBay?

I've seen a bunch of threads regarding that the Lifeproof cases aren't out yet... But on eBay there are a few cases for sale. I'm guessing these are fake but the pictures look pretty legit. Any experience with these? I'm still new so I can't post links but if you type in "S3 Lifeproof" on eBay it should pop up.

Their fake.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I was about to start a thread and remembered there already was one. So since this thread I've noticed a large increase in the number of fake lifeproof's, I'm assuming some company in china got the specs and started making replicas. Looks like the prices are in the $40 to $50 range, so who's going to be the guinea pig and buy one? Part of me wants to try it since the real lifeproof cases cost $80, but another part of me thinks that its stupid to spend $50 on something that could be complete crap. Especially if it ships from china or hong kong, if I don't like it I'd have to pay the shipping all the way back. Plus I'd have to wait 3 weeks just to get it and possibly another 3 weeks to get the refund........
Anybody want to sponsor me? I'll put a big pictorial and detailed review?:laugh:

LifeProof
I'll be ordering one from a US Seller for a slightly higher markup. I can post a video review on Youtube, and here as well. I'll get it some time next week, as I'll probably order it with my birthday money or when my paycheck comes in. And hey, if you want to push $5 towards the cause, I wouldn't be opposed They look exactly like the iPhone version, even down to the packaging and colors available. one seller even mentioned that they aren't LifeProof branded, but had a 1 month return/refund/warrenty. In addition, Paypal and my bank offer a certain amount of time to make sure a product actually works (3 or 6 months, I think). I'm game for giving it a shot!
I imagine that the install would be the same as for an iPhone... and I'd want to check the seals BEFORE installing my phone... that'd be really sad.

Found it but it's not on lifeproof website.

Right, that's the whole point of this entire thread. These are FAKE or replicas or whatever you want to call them, that's why this thread got started. That's why they only cost $40 to $50 dollars. That's why some of them are from CHINA. I think I'll probably end up buying one of these once I find a white one that's being sold here in the US. I know they all are probably being made in the same place in Hong Kong or somewhere but I don't see any reason to order something and wait for a month for it to get here.

I didn't even know this one existed. I'll have to look into it. I take it you're happy with the case? Is touch sensitivity okay? I had the OBEX for a week and hated it. I like to five and would like to have something I can take on the boat with me that I don't have to worry about getting banned around or splashed. I have no intentions of actually taking it into the water.

Modify what? The backplate? The phone? What are you talking about?
If they are sending along a new backplate with the battery, its because the battery is bigger/thicker than stock. Modifying would mean it wont fit as its supposed to and you'd probably have gaps. Not worth it to me.
Give it a minute and the makers of these batteries will design a backplate for the E980, but its gonna make a thin device into a real brick!

i hugely doubt that the korean and US versions differ at all. the only diff i see is just the software not hardware.
i also hope the battery doesnt stick out which would render a sleek slim phone stupid looking.

The battery will stick out, which is why they give you a new backplate.
And the US and Korean versions do differ on the back some due to the F240 having an extendable antenna in the corner. This is why one of the clips is slightly off center compared to the E980.
As far as the battery having its contacts in the same place in both models, I honestly don't know. Haven't seen anyone post on that. If you order this battery you can let us all know! :thumbup:
