Will any other battery fit this phone?

I need a battery, and I really can't afford to wait for one to come in the mail.

Its usually not such a good idea to fit batteries other than the ones prescribed for your phone. The slightest change in the specifications especially volts etc can cause problems with the device itself.

I tried fitting my car battery in my S630 and for some reason the back cover wouldn't stick. I definetely recommend the ones listed for your phone.

Other batteries
The 630 is not the most common phone. Fortunately, the battery for the S710 (also called the VOX) is much more common and is identical. Not sure about others but at least this gives you some options ...

the battery for the Dash is the same.

I wish the dash battery fit, I have five, but it doesn't.
Did any service provider in the USA offer the S710?
Right now I'm using a Samsung SGH-t109 and I've had WM since 2003, so its definitely driving me crazy using this thing. =(
I have cash but my accounts overdrafted so I can't order one online yet. Would be lovely if I could find somewhere here in Houston selling them.

Problem with battery in Axim x50v.

I have an extended battery that I bought from E-bay, its not a genuine Dell battery. I use it and it will not start up my Pocket PC. Should I buy a geniune Dell battery? I don't think I should have bought this battery. If anyone has or had the same problem let me know. Your comments will help a lot.

As we dedicate only to HTC devices you wont get too much attention.

Good luck,

You probably got ripped off by some bum fleaBay reseller. There's thousands of cheap batteries out there, and if possible yes you should buy an actual Dell from one of the resellers - the problem is that a lot of those resellers are based in Hong Kong and outside the US (and many other places) and they will put pictures of an actual Dell battery in the ad, and when you order one based on that info (the ad and the picture) you get screwed when the battery you get isn't what you were expecting.
Stick with resellers that have high ratings (98% or higher), that are based in the US or wherever you happen to be (country-wise), that specifically state that it's an actual Dell replacement battery, that offers a return policy IN WRITING in the ad, and is affordable for you.
While this forum may not provide direct support for the Axims themselves, they are arguably the most popular PocketPCs out there even years later (meaning a dedicated PocketPC, not a phone, not a Smartphone, etc) - and the question is legitimate in many respects because HTC built the Axims for Dell originally, hence they are HTC devices.
This forum is about XDA hardware and Windows Mobile to a great degree, and the Axims fit right into those categories...
To the OP: look specifically for actual Dell replacement batteries as noted, or go get one of the Mugen brand batteries for the Axims, those are the best replacement batteries you can get. You can find the Mugen batteries listed here at the bottom of the page:

Good luck...
ps
The one that I've used on fleaBay was named asellertool in the recent past, picked up a few stock 1100 mAh batteries that are actual Dell batteries, never had any issues with them and I use them in my X51v on a rotating basis (I have 4 now, always keep one on the docking cradle and then rotate 'em out, I put numbers on 'em with a marker so I know they're being used equally).

N7100 Battery problems - urgent!

the battery that came with the phone (which I bought exactly a year ago) started dying on me, (percentage jumping, weird freezing and hanging, crashing and other stuff.) Where do I get an ORIGINAL OEM battery and not some cheap crappy counterfeit that will actually produce about 70% of the original capacity which is around 2180~mAh instead of a full 3100. (Samsung.com doesnt seem to have it - I checked ..(IL)
Ideas? (Im desparate and its pretty urgent due to the fact I have everything on my phone, I use it 24 hours a day , all of my projects are on it, and I need to fix this problem ASAP)

just email samsung and they will provide address or sell you one. phone will work on charger, so no worries. you can buy extended battery i.e. zerolemon

I'm not sure if we're allowed to mention sites but, I've gotten some before on eBay for this exact model, just make sure you check the user's feedback.

Battery suggestion

I bought a supposedly genuine battery off of Ebay that turned out to be a total bust. It doesn't fit well either as I can feel it shifting inside the phone. :crying:
Does anyone have any suggestions on good OPO 2 replacement batteries?

I actually bought 2 different ones (one from ebay and one from a different site). Both of which turned out to be bad. They worked but they lasted less than the original one. I ended up going back to the original. If yours' is tottaly dead, I suggest you just stick with whatever you've got and don't waste more money.

why don't you buy it from oneplus store?

Because if you already knew, oneplus doesn't sell any replacement parts through their store, they only do repairs (which are expensive afaik)

Damn, guess I'll have to go back to the old one. I might try Amazon and see if they're better than ebay.

Thinking after 2 years it's time for a battery replacement, I ordered as well recently from Ebay waiting it to be delivered but not keeping my hopes high. I let you guys know if it turns out OK.
Edit: It's terrible. Overheats and charges really slow etc. Went back to the stock. Ordered another one. Will update.
Edit 2: Back again to stock.

same here guys.. got the phone for 20 months now and in winter I got huge battery drops....I'm just calling/email and the battery won't last for more then 8 hrs... this is crazy...

same here, bought two on ebay, both worse than the original.
Asked support where to get a original replacement, but they wouldn't tell, but offered to do the replacement for around 40 Euros. It took almost 5 weeks though, so if you have a spare phone, I'd advise to do the same, instead of trying to find a decent replacement somewhere....

Hi everyone, reviving this thread as the older our beloved op2 gets the more and more of us will be in a need of a replacement battery.
Now, did anyone have any luck finding an oem battery replacement somewhere else than OP support?
All the "originals" on eBay seem to be garbage.

Where to buy good battery? Anyone bought recently & is satisfied with the product?

before you start getting stuff from ebay and other questionable sources, ask OP how much will it cost you for THEM to replace it.
in my case, they are asking for 33 euros which is actually not bad at all. as a matter of facts, i am actually sending mine out for repair tomorrow. sure, i will have to live without my OP for like 2 weeks, but there is a guarantee i will get an original battery.
rule of a thumb - "original" batteries from ebay are ****

I agree. Charged the same. Like you said, will give it to service Centre.

Hi all, so I've bought one on ebay for like 15$ with tools set and so far so good, on one charge got like 1,5 - 2 days - average usage (calls, emails, toilet gaming) , but charging time is longer i think... keywords for ebay "Original NEW Battery BLP597 For OnePlus Two 2 With Nice Tools 3200mAh 3.8V"
I'm using it for 3rd week now...

I recently had my battery replaced by OP.
RMA created in the weekend.
Package shipped out on Tuesday evening (through UPS).
Delivered at the repair center on Wednesday, repair quote received (and paid) in the evening.
Repaired on Thursday morning and dispatched later that day.
Received back in my possession (UPS delivered) on Friday.
Sure, it was wiped, bootloader locked and flashed with OOS 3.6.1. but that was expected.
I have absolutely no reason to complain and I hereby officially regret all my previous attempts to get a "new" battery from ebay or other questionable sources for which I wasted more money than OP asked for: 33 EUR.
New battery immediately increased the SOT by 1 hour and i no longer face the issue i faced before which was: whenever the battery dropped to 30% i knew i had no more than half an hour left until the phone died.
So, if you need a new battery, save yourself the time and money and do it the same way. I would certainly recommend this to all european customers, like me.

Hello, can you please install "accubatery" app from playstore and charge your phone from 1-100% without using it? It will show you a real estimate of your battery capacity. Post screenshots afterwards, I will buy that battery for sure if its close to an original new one. Thank you!

Hi, will install it, but not sure about the 0-100% as I need the phone for daily use..maybe during weekend

Thank you, the 0-100% is not that important, the bigger fraction of charge the better, you can install it now and it will measure your battery over time, the more charge sessions of over 20% the more accurate results it gives.

Hi so I've done it yesterday. See screenshots attached.

That's actually very nice score, looks like a real oem battery or a very close one. New original. Batteries show around 90%-93% with that app. Buying one, thankyou.

Maybe this has been asked elsewhere... but facing the fact that mostly our only option here is 3rd party batteries... has anyone tried one of the two (or more?) Chinese 3800mAh batteries? One is called an HSABAT (maybe the company) and the other a Da Da Xiong.
Here's the HSABAT "New 3800mAh BLP597 Battery" (I am not recommending or dissing this! Just interested if someone's tried it!):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HSABAT-N...Oneplus-2-One-Plus-Two-Battery-p/202269516963
And here's the Da Da Xiong 3800mAh BLP597 Battery:
https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/da-da-xiong-3800mah-blp597-battery-for-oneplus/399378631.html
AGAIN... neither of these have been tested by me. I am wanting input from anyone who has tested them. I know we sometimes have opinions re China, many of those opinions bogus, but folks our phones were made there. So maybe these are good. And maybe they are a joke. I hope for input from someone who's tried 'em.

Any battery replacement service?

My HTC 10 is going to be 2 years old. And probably see a degradation soon on battery performance. Since Apple has nation-wide local stores to offer $29 battery replacement to iPhones, I am wondering is there any certified battery replacement for HTC? I know BestBuy is doing battery replacement for Samsung phones, but you know HTC is NOT so mainstream as Samsung, is there any place I can have HTC 10 battery replaced? I am pretty sure HTC official support is going to be expensive on this.... wouldn't consider them anyway.
The DIY video kinda scares me away, as I tried to open a few phones several years ago, and there were dirts leaked into screen after I assembled the phone back. So if DIY is my last resort, I wouldn't bother replacing the battery... May consider buying a iPhone or Samsung due to their minimum maintenance efforts.

35€ for a new battery including replacemet services

Com'on.. Not in that country.. If shipping to Slovakia is the only way, I'd risk dissembling the phone by myself.

Not sure where you are located, but you might give these guys a try:

I realize the HTC 10 isn't listed but it might be worth contacting them and see if they can help you with your issue.

tried to help... this is what you get when you ask for a repair service and exlude any information about your location... ?

OP:
- Contact the closest HTC you find, maybe you have to ship it to another country, but that is the easiest it will get.
- DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF. I bought an OEM battery for my M7 from a "trusted seller". It's a big shop, and really, people trust them. Took me 2 days to disassemble the phone (obviously with breaks and work and all), it's extremely tedious and cumbersome. Then I put it together, but no charge. Turns out, the new battery was defective out of the box. Also, the repair process is so destructive, I do not think you can take the phone apart 2-3 times. Maybe once, twice if you are extremely careful. But it is almost beyond human - to be so careful and cautious. You have to look out for so many small cables, ribbons. Point is, if HTC messes up, they fix it / give you a new phone, whatever. If you mess up, bye-bye phone.

I called a local UBreakIFix shop, and they said that, since the screen must be removed and it's so thin, to replace the battery on the HTC 10, they would have to charge me for replacing the screen plus battery. About $130 for parts and labor.

Because they're a business, they're all about doing jobs quickly. The longer it takes, the more it costs them to complete it. As such, they can't be bothered with educating themselves on how to do the HTC 10 properly. There is a technique and it takes time. If it wasn't possible, nobody would be doing it with any reported success. The main thing is heating up the phone enough to soften the adhesive, and being gentle enough not to disturb the ribbon cable for the screen.
HTC really boned it on the HTC 10. If there was no battery issue, it would be a strong competitor for the Google Pixel. But they cut corners to keep manufacturing costs low, and sacrificed serviceablility. Coupling that with the common battery problem, they're left with frustrated customers who are destined to abandon the brand. It's a real shame because without the battery issue, the HTC 10 is pretty much about as good as the Google Pixel. I showed mine to a friend with the Pixel and we did a compare. Aside from the Pixel being a little lighter, the screen intensity of the HTC 10 was better and the case feels more solid.

yea HTC won't work on the 10 anymore.. EOL (in USA anyway) and UK won't take it
anyone willing to change my battery?
I will pay, PM me please.

on eBay, you can find brand new HTC 10 for about $110 and brand new HTC U11 for about $170. If your cost of repair is around $100, it would make more sense to purchase a brand new HTC 10 or a brand new HTC U11.

I agree. I do..
htc u11 doesnt work fully on verizon AFAIK, and I love the 10 anyway.
but for the new htc 10, my issue is that with ebay, some wont take returns, and lithium batteries degrade. new doesn't mean you're getting a new battery.
un-used, yes if new.
but if no returns, and it only has like 70% capacity, I'm where I am now and then stuck with 2 10s
but yes the ONLY place i could find was:
www.ubreakifix.com
they quoted me at $99 for the battery repair, and it includes:
new battery
new screen (if they break it)
new whatever if they break it
(meaning they cover everything for the $99)
and 90 day warranty
soooo. idk
theres literally like no phone im interested in.
and here in the us, at least what ive found is no one will touch it because they can't guarntee the screen not breaking, and once that happens, as you said, gets higher than phone is "worth"

I see that makes some sense. I am not familiar with the battery degradation of phones that haven't been used in 3 years, but it does sound like a brand new battery would be a good way to go to get maximum battery life. I also wish there was an easy way to replace the battery so that I wouldn't have to go through the route of looking for a new phone. I'm currently planning to get a new HTC U11 from eBay, but was certainly considering another HTC 10 before I discovered how cheap the U11 is from certain sellers.

Another thing I forgot about was root, duh lol.
Unlocked model can unlock bootloader, but I'm not sure about s-off app is still available for it. I'd pay the $25 no problem, but would need to refresh myself ifits an option.
I know there's Java cards and xtc clip but that's another investment really, would maybe need to fund someone that already has one
