I am going to assume you checked the obvious of a loose battery. Does it vibrate and go off or when you shake it the power goes off?
I believe this would be hardware not software. You can check by flashing a known good Rom. But first check the contact points on your battery. Rub them clean, and make sure they are "springy"
I check the battery and it fits well but it is one of those monster batteries so it could fit loose in there..it does just shut down not a power cycle... thanks kenny guess ill have to go back to stock batt

Try ripping off the cover of a book of matches and placing it between the the battery and the cover. It worked when I used the giant battery.

Exacty Brooklyn, that's what I had to do with my extended battery. It would shut off when I closed the keyboard to hard. A thin piece of cardboard fixed that.

I had to do the exact same thing. anytime I slammed my KB shut the phone would power off.
I just put a matchbook cover on top of the battery and the issue was resolved
I had to do the same thing... you think they would test these batteries a little better before public release.
which exteded battery do you have my gorilla gadgets did that switched to the hyperion doesnt do it anymore.
Yes. Loose battery. Only happens when you buy those cheap ginormous batteries. Careful, I had a friend that lost a left nut when that thing overheated and exploded. I kid you not!

I had the extended for awhile i couldn't get over the bulk of it .
Have a hero and a TP2 so i just keep 2 charged batterys at a time and switch
I found the cheap ones work just as-well as the 60 dollar ones at best buy aslong as you condition them
I only paid $13 for this battery. I haven't even seen it's full potential yet. I'm a bit worried cause now I cannot use a case for it..but gives me more reason to try going red with it. Anyway, I was switching between 3 batteries and it wore out
My back. It was convenient yet annoying. So these batteries just need some conditioning?

I got mine for 8 dollars on Amazon lasted 2 days all i would do is calibrate at 100% completely drain then repeat for the first few charge cycles.
Worked like a charm just couldn't get over the girth
Hmm I see. I can get used to it, I just cannot have it in my pocket at work anymore. And its no longer protected so it is risky but I needed a change since I'm not getting the 3D right now lol

If a Chinese extended battery swells a little in the middle but works fine should I be considered about the battery burning up
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
If a battery is swelling, you should be very concerned, and stop using it immediately. It could explode at any time and the acid inside could seriously burn you or others.
K thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Even if it doesn't explode, it could crack and cook your phone. Dispose asap!

The best one would probably be a stock one made by htc.
I used a generic branded 3500mAh battery bought on Amazon.com from a seller called Quickshippers. It works out wonderful and is only a fraction of the cost of the expensive Seidio ones.
The only reason I went back to stock is because I'm getting fantastic battery life with evodeck. And I'm usually just plugged in and charging while at work. I missed the sheer thinness of the stock battery.
How long does a extended battery take to fully charge
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
3500 BATTERY takes about 6 to 8 hours to charge. But if u dont use an SBC kernel, it will never fully charge.
I am trying this new kernel release from HTC now, and it looks promising, but only on second day. Too early to see if it actually fully charges 3500s

Seidio Slim
The Seidio Slim battery is slightly better according to some reviews I have read, but then again I don't believe I have read enough of them to lead me to believe that is better than just buying the Stock from HTC which is more durable. Just a thought not a proven fact.
Quick question, I've got a bricked evo that I have'nt touched in months. The battery has been useless inside the phone's box since then but a couple of days ago I noticed the battery looks like it expanded or exploded from the inside. Any idea of what could of caused this?
Very curious.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it was never charged for a while and left on a cool environment I would say that the battery was just bad, if you had it on a hot place like on the glove compartment inside your car then it overheated. Either way I hope you discard it.
Any lump on a battery means you need to dispose of it..I've heard of some crazy stuff lol.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Dispose of it immediately. If you try to use it or charge it, it will likely explode.
Oh I would never attempt to use it again, I was just a little curious as to why this would happen. Thanks all!

The title says it all. I left my phone on the counter for an hour and when I came back it was on the floor with the back completely off. It was a frightening moment . But I was able to snap it back on.

My concern is the missing 5 screws that hold your backing plate on. I've removed mine already...first day. If your backplate just fell off, your have serious warranty and build issues. I posted a thread in the general section with pictures.

I can't, can't, can't, for the life of me get with those fat backs! It's just such an eye sore... And this phones so sleek. I'm curious to kno what's the largest (mah) battery you've seen without the aftermarket back?
I thought I was gonna hate the huge back too but had to try it and I gotta say... not that bad.... kinda like it even. I feel less likely to drop it.

Same here, it's like having a dinner slip grip . I think there's a 2100 that fits under the stock back plate
This has been a message from the Blu Kuban broadcast system!
I think its easier to hold with the back and I can get well over 6 hours screen time with the brightness up to about 75%. I got mine last weekend and I'm still amazed how long I use it and I get paranoid about the battery then look at it and its still all the way charged. I got the trexcell and its awesome so far. I'm at 13 hours on my charge right now with 1 hour and 2 minutes on the screen all web browsing and its at 75%.

I'm in that same boat. I have a full comparison to. My girl has a stock battery in hers and my big ole battery lasts three times as long as hers lol

I was just sick of battery being an issue for me on most Roms... And our phones are so slim already a little bulk don't hurt.
Which battery specifically did you get? I'm thinking of getting one myself actually, almost got stuck in the middle of a totally unknown location because my battery was almost dead. Not a fun predicament, I'll say that much.
Lol I usually never complain about any ROM cause I know my extended will still get me through the day any day

The brand on it is qcell. I've had them about 4 months and they are easily as good as the OE battery. Though I believe they are advertised as 1950 as opposed to our 1800. For $20 you can't go wrong.

I have 2 batteries so I get to enjoy my slim and sexy Epic 4G Touch without all the junk in the trunk.
Charge one to 100% then swap it and charge to other to 100% and there's no need to carry a charger with me when I leave the house.
It's not that hard to pop the back off and swap batteries...
