Hi I'm using this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008ZUT91I/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00 for last couple of months, very similar to the one you ordered. But I must say mine looks alot better as it actually goes around the sides of the phone not just little clips, your "case" appears to be a plastic slab that the one x lies on not a case as such.
Also for the price u quoted, I would sincerely doubt thats its 3500mah these cases from china are a perfect way for the less honest to hide there second rate batteries, my case is rates 2200mah and I would guess its more like 1000. The fact it only charges the phone to 60_65% from dead is a sure sign it isn't what it claims to be. Give it afew cycles to be sure, but being 3500mah I would expect your case to charge the phone almost fully, TWICE.
Please let us know how you get on.
My case was $24 (15GBP).

Thanks for the information, and I now.. I'm expecting lower even, but If it would really be 3500mAH it would be amazing, I will do test with playing video games such as NFS and so and post results.
Cannot wait for it to arrive still, no matter how much mAH , because I simply always run out of battery.

Arrived today!
It's charging now, cannot wait to try it out tomorrow.
Photo's will be uploaded shortly

I'm really looking for your opinion about this case, or anyone alse who has it.
is it heavy? is it really thin? or makes the phone fat? how much battery life does it adds?
cheers

I bought one of those a week ago. A total farce! Provides a +/- 220 mAh (measured by BMW v2.6.7) and never charged the phone to more than 67% from dead. Also, it took 6 hours to reach that before it died
Conclusion: math & experience show this to be:
Total Capacity: 1200 mA
Output current:+/- 200 mAh

Higher Capacity Battery

Hello all, first time user here so please forgive me if I'm duplicating anyones posts.
Our company here in the UK have just started buying the T-Mobile MDAIII, I think they're great buy the battery life is appalling!
Does anyone know if there are higher capacity batteries available here in the UK, and if so where I can source them from?
Thanks,
David.

I have a xda2s (MDAIII) and i spent absolutely ages searching and asking around trying to find the same product but i've managed to find it, (just testing it out now) the stock one is a 1490 Lithium Polymer battery and this extended one i'm trying out is a 2400 Lithium Polymer battery and it is only slightly larger than the stock one and it still fits inside the cradle! It costs 30 GBP. If you want some i might get some more, let me know
go to http://www.gpsforless.co.uk
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125267
i got 2 2400 mAh batteries for my xda iis, both $30 each which ends up being about €15 pounds each in the uk. i got them on ebay and im on my phone right now =).
I want to buy the 2400 mAh battery but I was thinking, does it fit in the original leather case that comes with the Blue Angel?

I've got no problem fitting it into the bundled case... maybe you could try?
I'll get one of those batteries when I arrive to Dubai. Going there soon. Let's hope the battery life increases a lot!
Hi,
If u are going to Dubai, better get 3300 mAh battery.In India it is available at 3300 Rs...around 80-90 USD..It is slightly bulgy..but its performance is wonderful
Wow I never knew it existed. Thanks.
www.lionbattery.com
Not sure if they ship to the UK, but it gives you an idea of what is out there..
So the 3300 mAh battery fits in the cradle AND the original leather case?
Last I heard the extended battery does fit on the cradle and the case. Oh and it's 3550 mah battery not 3300 mah (that was their older model, this is version 3)
hope this helps
Any charging problem?
Hi! I have purchased ext.battery 2400mah 3 days ago, and met some problem. I can't charge it 100% max - 79% and all my plugins don't understand that it is not its native battery - for example they say (Uptime and other meters also) that it will work for 5-6 hours. In fact it works about 15 hours and more, but I have no actual information as for my battery status.
Has anyone met this problem? And how can I solve it??
Thanks a lot...

so far so good
I purchased a 2400 mah at ebay. It came in yesterday and I had it charge overnight. It did go all the way up to 100%. I'm going to test the hell out of it by watching movies, playing mp3s, wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc.. I'll let you guys know if it's worth it or not. So far I commuted 35 minutes by train this morning and had the phone on and watched an ep of Family Guy on it. When I got to work it was at 98%. I have yet to compare it to my old battery 1490mah. I don't think that it'll be at 98% by the time I get to work. We'll see...
ive been very happy with the 2400mah battery i bought a few weeks ago...got it from here...good price too.
http://www.addonsworld.co.uk/product.php/28575/1358/
Great news!! The battery is awesome. All day yesterday, Xmas, I shot video, played mp3's, and used the phone. The battery was at 91% when I got home and that's after being on all day long!!

2 weeks earlier bought a 2400mah battery from them, ordered online, arrived in 2 days (on a fast delivery), I have charged it overnight, put it in XDA-IIi on 20 Dec Wednesday 9:00pm still on 51%, I am making 3-4 calls per day of approx 3-4 mins average, Battery came with the back cover because its a bit thicker than the normal 1200/1300mah battery, and it DOES NOT fit in the regular leather pouch. But overall battery is superb.

Best Battery for prophet

Looks like my main battery for O2 XDA NEO is dying, maybe WM6 is eating more of my battery power. Now I want to get a replacement battery. Besides the factory type isnt there a newer version and holds more charge too? Not sure about reliability, if anyone can share some of their experinces will be great.

Batteries with Extanded Covers ... THEY SUCKS!
The Cover is crap!
The 1800mAh isnt easy to find ... i think its the best Batterie in the moment. If HTC make a extanded batterie kit ... buy it! I have a Startrek with new Coverer and the Quality is very high!
Do you have a link or a pic of the battery? why the extanded covers sucks can you explain that?

you destroy your phone's beauty and also many times the covers are not exactly the same color but enough in order to see the differece also many times they dont completly fit
true ... true
My friends and I are using the 1800mAh batteries from this seller http://search.stores.ebay.com.au/SO...dgetsQQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQsaselZ30323434QQsofpZ0
Comparing to my one year old 1200mAh original battery the results were obvious. I could get more than 90 hours of standby with a few mins of call each day. Something I couldn't have thought of with a PocketPC phone.
It's been about 5 months since my purchase, the battery is still good. I heard from others that non-genuine battery tend to have shortened lifespan in just a few months.
Only about 3 to 5 grams heavier and 1mm thicker (which leaves no space between the back cover and the battery) if you do notice these minute differences. It's crucial that the battery won't make your Prophet any thicker!
My only complain was, if you asked, that it took almost a week for the delivery. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

Maybe WM6 has some bug that is draining your battery so much. I have 1200mA battery and it works 4-5 days before recharging.
I don't know, but the best one out there is 1300 i find on eBay... or does Battery for Dopod 818 fit?

Just ordered 2 battery's @t dealextreme
just took delivery of one of the dealextreme batteries, put it in and no sign that it is charging - battery monitor says "unknown", no orange light or % charge shown. Is it dud or do I have to wait a few hours......?
update, I have 2 of these 1800mah batteries and each behaving same - they don't appear to be charging. Any wise words?
@roughneck57 : sorry to hear.. especially after purchasing 2. does the battery heat up at all?
i ordered one.. and i'm still waiting for it to arrive. now i'm worried.
have you contacted extremedeals, how are they handling it ?
best of wishes,

so far, can't complain as they appear to be sending replacements - and i asked them to check before sending - see below second email I have received regarding the matter:
Thank you for contacting DealExtreme.com Customer Support.
We will make sure the qulity before we send it.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

forgot to say, battery is not heating up at all - I left it on charge for 3 or 4 hours last night and nothing - however, residual charge is actually powering the PDA so there is life in there. Must be the chip that reports on battery condition and charge etc.
Also, I have tried both in 3 different PDA (m600's) and same problem. One phone has an 1800mah battery purchased from ebay and that looks exactly the same but works fine - so it's not as if the PDA can't handle non-standard size.
Hope this helps.

Cheap 3500 mAh battery ebay

Anyone get anything like this?
Does it give the same results as the seidio battery that goes for $69.99?
Just trying to get some info before I "get what I paid for"
did you try searching first? Theres tons of threads on this battery. I love it and I think its great, I use it every day and it protects the camera lens. defiantly worth the money, forget that sedio ripoff battery unless your rich.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2X-NEW-EXTENDED...217472?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a16f0940
I got my batteries from this guy. They are amazing for the price, not as good as seido but they do hold a charge. I charge mine on the charger it comes with only after I know they are completely dead. I can tell I get about 30-40% more battery life out of them compared to stock, just make sure you cycle them a bunch once you get them. After a few complete drains and full charges they do pretty well. Well worth the money. for 10 more bucks u can get another battery and charger.

I have 2 of these and 2 Seidios. The Seidio's are much better. (I only paid $50 and $45 (one was used from someone with an Incredible on eBay, really is exactly the same battery tho).
The Seidio's have been tested at batteryboss.org to actually be around 2800mAh, which is still about 90% better than stock battery.
After using the 3500mAh Chinese ones, I get the feeling they are actually more around 2100-2150mAh (just my guess, won't know for sure until batteryboss tests them), which is only about 40% better than stock.
Lots of info on the ebay batteries all around. I have the 3000mah and love it. I can finally go all day without charging my phone. I dont even have to think about my battery any more because no matter what it wont be dead before I'm going to bed at night. It would be nearing dead before around lunch time sometimes.
From what I have read though, is that all of these ebay batteries are just 2600mah batteries with different stickers on them....Either way, it last me longer than what I need it to, so I am very happy with it.
Do the 2700, 3000, 3200, and 3500mAH batteries on eBay all seem to come with the same rear cover and make the Evo equally thick, or are the smaller batteries a little bit thinner than the largest ones and sold with slightly lower-profile covers?
Is there a way to buy these for that price without ebay? I got banned over $10. I looked around the cheapest I could find was $50.

This is what the MAH seems around, on ebay this would prob be 10 bucks but since you got banned this was the cheapest i found. I wonder if anyone has tried using these back covers with the seidio battery. I bought the 3500mah ebay battery they just have a higher mah sticker on them but i will post results after 5 or 6 full discharge cycles.

So far, there are two extended battery backs: the Seidio and the "Chinese". I've not seen any others.
I saw those on Amazon, they have a couple of 3500's for 40+shipping. Ill probably just pick up one of those. Thanks.

With the battery conditioned 3 times so far, I am at 72% as we speak. I have been using moderate use with 3g enabled synce full volume and medium brightness. I have been surfing the web and I have sent out about 50 texts. Made around 5 3 minutes calls. These battery's seem to be worth the money if you don't want to spend 60 dollars. I have 2 of these batteries and 1 of them is really good and the other one is so so. The good one is the one I am using now, I am guessing it is around 2100-2500mah not close to seido bat a LOT cheaper with a better back cover. I will post pics when this thing actually dies. I am at 5 hours of awake time and 18 hours of uptime with 18 hours since unplugged. I am also overclocked to 1.2ghz with a live wallpaper running the whole time . I got mine off ebay from feitong2009. Sorry for the wall of text, I just like to help people out a little.
Yea I need one cause I stream radio over 3g alot at work, I get about 3-4 hours on a charge. If I could get at least 8 or more with a fat batt, I'll be happy.
I believe they are only rated at around 2200mah...
I have one, it's alright, I don't use it... makes the phone too far for what it's worth.
Here is the battery life at the end of the day. I turned on the phone before I went to bed and put it into airplane mode. When I woke up I did moderate use through the whole day. Good enough for me.
The ones from feitong are legit. Ice had mine for about a month and a half and I'm getting about 12-18 hrs on medium to heavy usage

Yeah, I ordered one. For $10 - why not? I'll post back my thoughts after I receive and try it out for a bit.
For those who can't but on ebay, gorillagadget has them for $20 and obostore.com has the Yooboa(sp?) 3500mah battery with ebay back for $30. Yooboa is a well known chinese battery brand.
Swyped from my supercharged Evo!
I wonder how the Yoobao stacks up to the seidio. Prob the same as the 10 dollar battery's.
I imagine it is slightly better than the ebay batteries yet still slightly under the Seidio. There is a very small difference in between them all though. All of these batteries should be within $10 of each other. Its just crazy that the Seidio is so much when it just barely out last the ebay batteries....

I have the yoobao battery with the external charger from the obostore. I get 2 days of moderate to heavy use. The most i have got was 83 hours from light to moderate use. I'm running Freshes rom. Theirs a big difference in the battery life if you use the external charger.

Which is a good or recommended battery for wildfire S

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a HTC Wildfire S. I am quite disappointed by the battery performance. The dialer and android system always shows 49 % usage. Is it a bug in GB or is this normal behavior ?
I feel my battery drains out very fast in a day. I usually do a 20-30 mins of call/day. About 10-20 Mb of internet data via 2G. But at the end of the day around 8-8.30 PM my battery is almost at 25-30% or sometimes less than that. I have disabled all the vibrating notifications. Wi-Fi and bluetooth OFF, I have installed juice defender which shuts the data off when the phone is idle. Though there is some improvement after this, i still feel the battery is going down.
When googled about this, everyone had almost the same complaint. And the only suggestion was to have an extra 1500 or 1900 mAh battery. Now which is the recommended battery without making any change to the hardware etc
coz i see lot of them taking a 3500 mAh battery with extra cover and changing the contacts and all. I dont want to do all those but just to improve my battery performance. Can you help me out ?
I use this battery :
http://www.batterychampion.fr/produ...rtmentProductId/76703263/shopGroupId/95658473
I can use my device almost during 3 days without any charge : calls, sms, internet and games.
Its very large. I wanted a small phone...
The 1500mAh Replacement Battery For HTC HD7 fits the Wildfire S and gives you an approximate 20-30% boost in battery capacity.
Edit: Nvm, never bought a new battery lol
and what about 1900? any suggestion?
and btw, 1500 and 1900 battery has same sizes as the original? only the 2200 and 3500 needs a new back cover ,right?
the only extended battery worth getting is the Cameron Sino 2200mah version. Yes, it does make you phone quite a bit thicker...but it's the only one i've found that does what it's supposed to do.
I tried first a 3500mah version, but after a couple of weeks it lost it's ability to hold charge almost completely, so it was actually worse than the stock battery.
Next was the eCell 2350mah version (Gold), this didn't last much longer than the stock battery either, although it did give a litte extra, but no where near the 2x capacity of the stock, as it should have been. (i think i got like an extra hour or two oout of it)
and finally....the CS 2200mah version.....where I usually get around 8 hours tops on the stock battery (i leave things syncing every hour, quite alot of texts every day, a fair bit of internt use too), I can now use my phone for 2 full days straight, and by night-time on the second day it's finally down to around 10-15% battery left, so go mad playing games for an hour or two to really run it down to nothing, then leave it on charge over-night.
I would highly reccommend this battery, it's the only one you'll ever need, and you can actually make use of the "smart" features of your phone....I can actually use programs that need GPS without having to worry if my battery will die, leaving me stranded
it only costs around £10 on ebay.....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150696338487
the thickness is something you get used to, and some people even find it a bit more comfortable to hold....so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

It comes as advertised.

From my personal experiences the HD7 replacement doesn't give that boost. Maybe I got a weak unit... Soon I will order another one just to make sure.
I suggest you check this thread for comparisons between different batteries and results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930
On page 3 of that thread I show my tests and comparisons of:
HTC Stock 1230mAh
HD7 1500mAh replacement
ECell Gold 2430mAh
Thanks to d33ps1x for his great public service testing several batteries and showing us what we can expect from them. If he didn't open that thread (and others) I probably wouldn't have shared my results.
I suggest everybody take a good luck before spending their cash.
I've recently bought the 3500mah battery with black cover at FocalPrice for 6€ shipping included.
When I get the order I'll post my results.

3500... i rly hope it will be that much, but it will more likely be 1700 to 2000 MAX
I thought that too but a friend bought it and told me that his phone stays on for a least 2 days without charging it.
When it arrives my home I'll post my results with pics of the difference.

I thought that too but a friend bought it and told me that his phone stays on for a least 2 days without charging it.
When it arrives my home I'll post my results with pics of the difference.

okay, we expect your review .. .
I got the Cameron Sino Tech 2200 mAh about a week ago.
I cant give an accurate review of the battery but I've found that its well worth the extra size for the extended life, i get a couple of days out of it now.
Its cheap as well and now I have a spare battery so if I know i'm gonna be away from a charger I can take the original battery with me.

Like other people have seen (d33ps1x for example), the Cameron Sino 2200 mAh is the best bang for the buck. Even if it makes your phone "fat" it is a real power improvement.
The ECell Gold 2430mAh has barely 1600mAh inside so it's obviously false advertising when they say that they use Li-Polymer. I have one and ordered the second unit because even if it doesn't correspond to what's promised, it still gives a nice boost comparing to stock.
I'm also curious how different the two batteries can be. The second one will arrive this week. I will prepare it and test it as soon as I get it in the mail.
All those 1500mAh you can find on eBay are only marginal improvement when comparing to the stock battery. If they can provide 1300-1350mAh then you are a very lucky owner.
There are some amazing batteries out there, but they are too expensive.
I'm talking about Mugen Power Batteries:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had one of their batteries on my HTC Desire and it was something out of other world. If you follow their instructions (that come with the battery) you won't regret buying one. Right now the Wildfire S 1500 mAh is out of stock and will be ready for shipment on the 17th February. This means they're being produced now and who buys them will get brand new batteries, that haven't stayed for months in a warehouse. If they were cheaper I would definitely order one. If Mugen Power announces 1500mAh, they're definitely inside.
I want to buy the Cameron sino 2200 may, but will it fit a metro pcs wildfire s???
I get one or two days? I think that's good? It's longer when wifi is off.

The battery will fit, but the cover will not.

I got the battery, it fits, but it's BIG! I got a soft silicone case and it works. It stretches and fits fine, it protects the phone without a back cover.
The battery is a definite improvement over the original.

Stock Battery EB625152VA for $3.99

I just ordered a stock battery for $3.99 from ebay link. Looks real but maybe just a good looking fake, thought I would share with you guys anyway. What do you guys think?
It say's "Unbranded/Generic". Most of the time, if it's too good to be true.. then it is. The consensus with cheap generic batteries on ebay is that they work great for a few weeks, then the capacity quickly goes down. For the price, let us know how it works!
Shipping from Hong Kong/China, guaranteed to always be a fake. Stick to buying from sellers who ship from within the USA.
Yeah I noticed the unbranded generic but that's just the eBay description and some people don't fill that field out. They did say the item pictured is accurate or something like that so I figured why not. The battery that came with my phone was a finished in China battery so I know they make them there and I've been buying stuff from China or Hong Kong for over 10 years with mostly good luck. Either way for that price if it works I'm good with it.
well i contacted a bunch of em about those batteries
and few chose to say generic other said copies
but was impressed ( despite knowing ) that none claimed its original.
they are dirt cheap if can last for 3 or 4 months with reasonable backup then no harm .
otherwise try and search for andida slim 2300 battery
heard good things about it - provided you get a genuine andida and not a fake.
all the best.

Did you get them? Does it work well? What kind of battery life are you getting out of them? Better than stock?
Yes I ordered last week when I posted this thread but it has not arrived yet. The seller marked shipped the next day but stuff from China usually takes 2 weeks to arrive. I will take some comparison pics with my stock battery when it arrives then post some results after a few cycles of use.
It came in today, definitely a fake. They did a terrible job applying the sticker too. See attached pics knockoff battery on left, stock on right
Put in phone and working fine so far. Came charged to 66% like other batteries I bought in the past. Will update again after using a few times.
Initial run not bad from 66 down to 2% 2hr 43min screen time and 8+ hours uptime. This is exactly what I would expect from my stock battery. I'm charging now in my external charger and I will run a few days and see where it goes. Hopefully the initial cycle was not a fluke.
After a few runs this is a decent battery. The life span seems to be just less than my stock battery and it does not run hot or anything. I suspect its just a generic 1800mah battery. I wonder why they felt it necessary to use the fake labeling?
Is the battery still working good? I just ordered one on ebay.. My battery looks like it's about to burst. The back cover won't even go on right lol.
Yeah its been in rotation for a few weeks now and no issues yet. It still seems to get slightly less battery life than stock. No complaints for $4. You may want to replace that bulging battery sooner though. This one shipped fast but still took about 10 days to arrive.

I think it started swelling because of my friends horrible charger. I crashed at his house and was forced to charge my phone on his charger. It looked so cheap and felt really light but it was charging. I woke up the next day and my phone was dead. I powered it on and it was 15 percent battery and the screen blinked then died.
Ever since then I have had nothing but problems with the battery.. so that has to be the culprit .
It's been 8 days so far and it said it just arrived in CHICAGO, IL. I'll be on my n7 until it arives!
