What is that sticking out of the usb port?

I looked at the link to the case they say will be out soon and some of the shots show it and some don't.

It figures the case with the batteries would have to be able to connect to the phone to charge it, but why isn't it in all of the pictures? Looks to me like it would be easy to stress the port with that sticking out of it. I figured the connection would be molded into the case and be rigid.

While some of the external chargers seem to be a good idea, from some of the comments I wonder if it got too popular and the quality took a hit trying to keep up with demand?

I like the idea if the battery being in the case, less stuff to carry around. I already have too much stuff in my pockets anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
Not to add fuel to this fire but I also checked http://www.mophie.com and they currently have an extended case for the S3, but of course not for the LTEVO (go figure). I sent them an email asking/requesting one, but have yet to receive a response.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
That thing sticking out is literally a usb connection from the extended battery case to the phone. Our USB port is the ONLY power connection we have, unlike the HOX, which has power pins on the back and all Seidio has to do is make the contact pins on the inside of that variant. Simple eh? Too bad we don't have them! On other phones where the plug is on the bottom or top, most case makers simply make the case cover the entire width of the short side of the phone so you don't see a point that juts out of the power connector.

And yes, having something stick out like that is a bad idea in general. A few of us mentioned it in the beginning of this thread or another one related and mentioned that any sudden force on that point would likely damage or destroy the USB port, much like the OG Evo experienced (and Sprint rejected all claims to fix citing customer abuse). I suppose they could have made the whole left side extended out to cover the USB connection's extra width, but that would make holding the phone a little more awkward.

Awesome! Will be ordering next week! If anyone gets one before then post up a review here!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
so basically you make your phone twice as thick cause it adds a second battery to the back?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BOO5TED:
Yes, for some people battery life is more important that the acutal size of the phone. I for one, am not one of those people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JONBOY345:
I've always used heavy duty cases, such as the ballistic HC series cases. I work outside often and need to have some sort of protection. I figure might as well use an extended battery case that isn't too much larger than the cases I would use with out an extended battery. Belt clips FTW!!

My first few phones were Nextel bricks, bulky is what I'm used to.

sweet,

Will pick up one ASAP. Already have a 12000mah power bank that fits in my pocket, the more bat there is the more I can use my phone without going "**** I needa plug it in" and then have to leave it in another room FOREVER. Thanks a bunch for the linl ::)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Sweet!! Please post pics and your initial thoughts/review on it. Then a week or so later, or whenever you find the time, post a review of actual usage with it on a day to day basis. Thanks!!

Personally, I'm a little hesitant due to the way the charging port/plug sticks out the side of it. Just not too sure how sturdy/durable that will actually be in daily use. Though I'm ALWAYS super careful and picky with my phone in every thing I do(even setting out down on my nightstand), I'm not certain how that port/plug will actually be...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
Hmm, I was totally siked about getting this phone till I saw that port. Now, I might just buy a power pack and use it when necessary.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
ahh I was thinking about getting it also but I didn'tknow that port part sticks out thought it was just open
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
Got it early today, great product, definitely adds bulk but its not bad, personally I think the phone is too thin anyways , its sort of like the og evo with the extended battery, the piece that plugs into the charge port seems to be plenty sturdy and it clicks and is snug once you connect it, the case is also in like 2 pieces so when you snap the top part on it also helps in keeping the plug really sturdy and secure, I got the bundle with the holster and extra battery with the charging piece for the extra battery, I'm completely happy with my purchase, also it charges the phone really well, I'm a very heavy user and I am not rooted so this was something I've been needing, hope this helps anyone who was interested in it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xetterxx:
Is the protruding connector very noticeable or is it removable?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Any pictures? Does it use case battery first, then your phone battery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Yes pictures please !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BOO5TED:
If it's anything like the other battery cases, it uses the phone battery first then you turn the case on and it charges the phone battery with the case battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
The little charging tab sticks out a little just like in the pics, doesnt bother me, sticks out maybe half an inch at most, and for pics look at the site, it looks exactly like that lol the battery on your cell drains like nornal, but you press and hold the power button on the case to start charging your phone, also all the buttons on the phone still work perfectly even with the case on, if you connect it to charge on the port that's on the case it charges your cell first then charges the case, best money I've spent in a while.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xetterxx:
Dang. Idk if it's worth getting now or waiting for another company to come out with a case without that annoying charger tab sticking out. :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BOO5TED:
Unless they make the case longer on the side with the charging port to cover it up, they all will have the connector sticking out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
It pops out like less than half an inch, maybe just over a quarter of an inch, I love the weight and bulk it added to the phone, it feels like a man phone now, haha that's all my input for now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] josh030181:
I have just 2 questions, 1 does the port on the case work for hdmi, 2 and usb

SENT FROM MY LTEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] makavelisk:
Thanks for the review davilas!! This definitely has pushed me to get it. Ordering one this Friday!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
No problem, and as far as the hdmi working through the case port idk, I don't use that function, but you could always just unplug the tab that connects from the case to the phone and just use it as you normally would, my phone has lasted all day, 6 a.m. to 8p.m. when I get home with heavy use, no charger needed anymore, awesome.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Anyone else buy yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
Another thing I noticed, if you drain the battery on the case all the way, and your phone is really low as well, it takes a while to completely charge both, because it charges the phone first then the case, I plugged it in once with the case completely dead and the phone at like 5% and after 7 hours the phone was completely charged, but the case was about 75% expect to be plugged in for a long time for both to fully charge, did the same thing another day but plugged in at 9 p.m. and disconnected about 6 a.m. both fully charged, so I assume it takes about 8 and half to 9 hours to fully charge both back from dead.

Here's a review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9AdAZKe_4A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Just ordered mine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Just received mine today....

Drained my battery from my phone, case was charging my phone and got around 15% from 2%. My orange charging light started flashing and the low battery warning came on and kept flashing light and turned off.

Trying to full charge case and phone battery again. Then drain phone battery and see how far case battery will charge me or I received a defective unit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Anyone have there phone freeze up with the case charging? I woke up at 550 am and look over at my phone, it's frozen at 77% charged.

Not sure if my case is defective or what... Did a hard reset and everything is fine. I'm going to test the case again later today but I'm leaning on returning it so far, just having issues so far!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
It says in the instructions for best results use once your battery is at 50% it doesn't charge as fast as a wall charger, so keep that in mind, I turn mine on when at 50% and by the time it dies I'm usually at around 85% that's while still using the phone a decent amount as it charges, I've had my phone battery be at 40% and I charged it and wasn't using the phone much at all and by the time it was done I was just about at a full charge. Make sure the battery on the case is fully charged
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Yeah, read that... Was curious what everyone did. My first day, I'll start charging around 50% for now on.

Do you use screen protector at all? I'm coming from otterbox defender, so I feel naked...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:
I don't use a screen protector, I think the case raises the front of the phone enough, and the screen is tough anyways, I don't have any scratches on mine, and I always put my phone in my back left pocket, designated phone pocket lol so nothing is ever in there that could scratch it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JONBOY345:
I don't know why, but everyone always trashed the ZAGG screen protectors, but personally I've never had an issue with them.

If you take your time and don't press too hard with the squeegee it goes on just as flat as any other protector. When you use too much pressure the protector stretches some and then as it tries to retract to it's original size it from the ridges that people always complain about.

Take your time and do it right and you'll love em. Had one on my OG Evo for a year and a half before I moved to the 3vo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imLIT_:
Does anybody know if you can use NFC with this case?

Sorry if this was answered already.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kakutin:
I personally think it will work since I transferred several items through NFC between an sg3 and my LTEVO both having otterbox deffender cases...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dis39tif:
I just got the case in. Initial impressions are good. It makes the phone look and feel more like the OG Evo. That's probably the best description I can give of the size. I thought the Evo 4G LTE was just at the extreme end of pocketability (for me anyway). This is now probably a little bigger than I'd want to pocket, but still fits in my front jeans pocket, or my front pocket of my work slacks, ok. It's certainly more noticeable in the pocket. I also carry around my phone in my chest pocket of my button down shirt during the day. The phone (pre-case) would just stick out the top of the pocket. The OG Evo would not stick out at all. The phone (post-case) is now peeking out at the top of the camera all the way to the top of the case. The power plug sticks out a bit but it's a sturdy connector and looks ok to my eyes.

Keep in mind that I rocked this phone no case or screen protector, and found the phone (pre-case) to be pretty durable and survived several decent drops onto both hardwood and carpet floors, so I'd say this is a big change for me. I'm buying these purely for the battery increase as JB has killed my totally stock phone's battery.

Haven't had a chance to drop the phone (post-case) yet, but the case seems durable and well put together. Not much heavier either. I'll have a better idea as to the recharge rate, etc after more use, but it arrived charged with somewhere around 2-3 bars (so 50ish%) showing and it brought my phone from about 54% to 74%. That's without using the phone much while it charged from the case. That took about one hour or so.

I've made a couple of calls and it doesn't seem to impact call quality. All the buttons work, but there's not much tactile sensation or feedback on the top power button for the phone or the volume buttons, particularly the down volume button.

If anyone wants pictures or measurements or whatever just let me know and I'll do what I can. I have small hands and the phone (pre-case) wasn't something I could really use with one hand but could manage some tasks. Now, this is pretty much squarely in the two handed use camp for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sanmanc:
I had the same question so I emailed Seidio. Below is the response:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Just put my replacement case on(would put on charger at night and would stop charging case and phone) and would wake up with neither phone or case fully charged. I'll test out my replacement and see how it works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Ok, I'm having nothing but problems with this case.... Went to bed with case and phone charging. Woke up and my phone screen was frozen at the home launcher screen and stuck at 3am. This is already my replacement case.

Anyone that has this battery case, are you rooted and have you had any phone lock ups?

I'm going to give the case an entire day and see what's up. If it freezes again, going back..... My phone is rooted, s-off, most recent stock with goodies rom and don't experience freezes with my otterbox defender case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dis39tif:
I'm bone stock and no issues with phone rebooting or locking up. However I noticed the charging thing you mentioned. It looks like once the phone is charged the case charges itself then shutdowns instead of trickle charging the phone to keep it fully charged.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davilas:

Can you post pictures want to order one but I want to see how it looks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rac8808:
I got mine from Amazon with free shipping I like it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darkleafar:
Hey guys, I have had this case since last Thursday, and so far I have not had anything you would call a "problem" with it, albeit I am a little bit disappointed that it doesnt charge the phone as much as I would want to.

So I also did notice that after the phone and case are fully charged, the case cuts the power to the phone so you end up with some discharge in your phone battery.

Another thing is it takes too long to charge. I do not sleep very much (about 5 hours a night) and apparently that isnt enough time to charge both.

My solution to the above was to charge both at once (run one charge directly to the phone and another directly to the case. I have micro USB cables to spare around my nightstand, so this was not a problem.

Now my question is, when is the best time to turn on the case? Manual claims when its at 50%, but i have heard differently.

While turning on my case at 50%, its getting my phone up to about 80% before the case dies. In others words the case its giving me an extra 30% battery life. Is anyone getting better results some other way? how much are you guys getting?

Any other tips on how to master this case would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
Returning mine.... To expensive for little charge and inconvenience with it turning charger of when full.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darkleafar:
problem...is not like there is an alternative. (not counting external battery packs) So until I have a choice, Ill stick with it.

Hi,

Just got my Sensation XE about one month ago, and flashed yesterday from ARHD 6.6.4 to Elegancia (The newest Version with Sense 4), and now i want my ARHD back. But every other Rom i flash wont boot! I can flash Elegancia again and it works.

How can I flash back to ARHD?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
you might wanna check the firmware you are on. I know that the latest elegancia runs on the latest 3.2xxx firmware. If im right the ARHD does as well. if something isnt booting or giving a bootloop. most likely its a firmware issue. i learned that the hard way lol. go through the thread and check to see if the rom you are trying is compatible with the firmware thats currently on your phone
