Extended battery/power Pack whatever it's called, is there one out there for the vx? I use it a lot during school and can't charge right away when I get home so I have to be cautious later in the day. I would like an extended battery case (like a case that goes onto the phone) if there is one.

My original HTC Desire battery is bloated na. It became big. Big to the point that I can't fully close the back cover. And when it reaches 50 percent, it shuts down already. Battery empty.
My phone is still under warranty. 10th month. Can HTC replace my battery for free under warranty?

Official battery is very expensive, I think about 40 euros on some websites. Does your problem continue with you change your rom ? It perhaps come from your rom

Are you saying that you battery has physically expanded?
If so, take it out of the damn phone asap!
Yes, your warranty will cover it assuming it wasn't caused by overcharging due to something you loaded/flashed/did.
(I've got no idea if that's possible, but I could imagine that if charging is handled by the OS you could overcharge it if you lost battery calibration or something)
I have another extra battery. It works fine. Yes the original expanded. As in it's fat. But still works. Though until 50 percent only.
What's weird is that when I got my phone, I got an extra battery original. Been using the extra battery as a primary. Then I noticed that the original one got fatter. Wasn't even using it that much.
You guys think HTC will replace it? I don't overcharge. I'm particular when charging my phone. Its turned off whenever I charge and I use another phone. Sad it bloated despite taking care of it.

They will replace it

The reason I'd suggest you don't keep using it is that there's obviously something physically wrong with it, and if it were me I wouldn't want to risk it bursting/leaking inside my phone. That's all
Thanks guys. Will go to HTC Service Center tomorrow to ask them to replace the battery.
So I was doing dishes and my I put my phone on the counter and accidently into a puddle. It wasn't in the puddle for long (only the back was in it) and I realized it, took the battery out right away and put it in rice for a few days. When I tried to turn it on, It booted up, but then shut off and stays off and I am unable to turn it back on. I tried again a couple days later and the same thing happened. Is the phone itself broken because of the water damage or is it just the battery? Any help is appreciated!
well batteries are cheap so i would start there and hope for the best. are the liquid damage stickers colored? on the battery or either of the ones on the phone?

They are red all of them, I am going to try and get a battery, do you think if I go into my carriers store or best buy they will let me try out a battery?
doubt it unless they have one out of the package. maybe try to find somewhere that sells used phones, if they have a g2/dz then maybe theyd let you (also a few other phones have batteries that fit)

Plug the charger in then boot it up. If the phone runs then probably the battery is fried.
By the way, did you dry the phone properly? I meant, did you put the phone in a rice bad or the battery?
Edit: But fried I meant damaged.
Hey you guys so my phone keeps getting uncharged at night while it sleeps with me and I'm getting sick of it not being fully charged in the morning when I need it because it keeps getting unpluged, so now I wanna find a dock maybe one with a speaker and clock, idk any advice on one's you guys might have?

I dont know about one with a speaker but I picked up one from Amazon about 6 moths ago or so that has 2 slots. In the front your EVO sits on USB and is a charge/mass storage slot. In the back is a slot for a second battery that has its own dedicated USB port to charge it. It was somewhere between $10-$25 I think. Maybe I can find it in my order history and link it for you if you like.
Found it and Amazon still sells it for $19. I like it. It does NOT fit with an extended battery out of the box, but I modified mine to work with it. I use it almost every day. I keep it next to my PC on my desk. Very handy.

What's up folks...I've got an issue with three different Mophie's and wanted some opinions.
Upon getting the cases, all works well. Lights are working/displaying, power button is active, switch works great, etc.
On all 3 cases (2 black cases from Best Buy and 1 silver from mophie directly) they randomly become unresponsive and dead to world at random times.
The only way I have found to "revive" them is to plug them in and the lights will show fully charged and ready to roll...only to do the exact same thing less than a minute later.
I've reached out to Mophie, and they had no idea what I was talking about...and I've returned the 2 black cases to Best Buy. I'm due to send the silver one back tomorrow, but was really hoping to avoid doing this, as it's the only case I've come across that I actually like...aside from this lovely little issue, that is.
So yeah...any best practices or anything would be ultra helpful.
Only thing I can really think of at this point would be either my phone or there is just something wrong in general with the packs...but I just find that so hard to believe, as there are countless out there that aren't having these issues. And if they are, I haven't been able to fid anything on line just yet.
Thanks again for any help, I really appreciate it.
I actually had the exact same issue on my first Mophie for the One. I had to kind of "jump start" it even though it was charged. Wouldn't light up or charge. Then I exchanged it after a couple days, and the micro-usb port on the replacement was bent (badly enough that the case wouldn't seal.) The third unit I got works perfectly, I love it. Thankfully I work at Best Buy and exchanging it only took a couple minutes.
I would recommend you swap it out until you get a good one.
Right on. That's kind of what I was afraid of. Good to know it's nothing on my end, just sucks that it might be one of those revolving door issues until I get lucky enough to find one that jives.
Thanks.

Bought my 4th juice pack today. Seemed fine for a few hours...then it hit again. I'm going to just their in the towel, as all these returns are a pain.
Hope others aren't having these same issues

I don't know about dead in minutes, but I've definitely felt the batteries are draining out much, much faster than they should. I'm considering doing a return or exchange to Best Buy (across the street from work, great stuff) soon. At least they price-matched against Amazon post purchase.
Mine does it on occasion, I just deal with it. Over all the case is a lifesaver.
Yeah, I've loved them in the past. But sadly a case that gives me 5% and then is useless until I can give it a jump start from a wall charger for another 5%.
I mean, if I was around a wall charger all the time, I wouldn't need the case.
Really a bummer.

Going through the exact same issue. 4th case from best buy. I'm sending this 4th one to Mophie in hopes that it actually might work.

I had a definite scare where mine wouldn't do jack for the first few days, but now things have evened out, and some error messages on my work computer yesterday tipped me off that the USB port I'd been using to charge was just flat out faulty. I think I'll run caseless for now (or buy a slimmer case), but definitely going to hold onto this for a trip.
Mine is doing the same thing. I bought it and the phone last Friday and used it Saturday but it did not seem to work. This is my fist Mophie and I could not remember what exactly to expect from reading the instructions. I took it home and charged it and all was good, or so I thought. I tried using it Monday and it showed to start charging my phone only for me to start hearing the phone warning of low battery every few seconds. I messed with it and it started working but only charged the phone for an hour than was dead. had to plug in to get a responce from it. I will take it back to BB and try another,.
I've got a replacement phone coming in tomorrow for other reasons...so I'm curious to see if anything changes. I REALLY want to keep this silver mophie, but it isn't looking likely.
Really hope someone from Mophie can voice on the matter, as I'm curious to see how widespread these issues are

One last reply. Replacement phone didn't make any difference. Same issues as before.
Really tempted to keep trying the best buy method, but returning x amount of phones in hope of getting a good one...man.

I'm having the same issue. I already exchanged one case and number two does the same thing. I bought this specifically for a trip I'm going on tomorrow. Not sure I even want a third one now
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Ok I went back and forth with what charger case I was going too go with. The to two was this one and the mophie. I went with this one due to the price and they both had the same battery size. Every other mophie I had has went bad in a short time except the very first one I had for my iPhone 3 , that thing lasted for ever.
Ok what I like about this is the feel of it, it has like a soft velvet feel too it. What I don't like is the slow charge warning that comes up when I turn it on. Can some one tell me if the mophie does the same thing, I am on the fence on sending it back and staying with my battery bank that chargers at 2a all day long and charges it fast. The fit and finish I would give a 7.75. Where the two pieces meet there is a very small gap and the mini usb don't line up perfect when you slide the case in. I will test it from completely dead and give every one an update. It will bee soon. If it dose not give me the %80 they say then I will send it back and try another one, or just go with my battery bank. BTW I have the spigen gtr glass one my one and it fits fine.

I have the blason and it works fine. I have dropped the phone onto a tile floor twice and not a scratch so it protects the phone as well.
Dose is gone you the slow charge message
