Indeed. Just a quick update tho. After a couple hours, speaker stoped working. I removed the black cover and realized the speaker (located on top right) has two pins which connect to the motherboard. These two pins wouldn't touch the motherboard because of the width of the new battery. Long story short, i cut the plastic just like a lot of people did and problem solved.

Someone posted images indicating that sliding the battery would disconnect a clip or plug related to the speaker located underneath the battery or something along those lines, I didn't see anything relating to that when i disasembled my phone. Sliding the battery, or removing the black frame have no impact on speaker malfunction (and won't disconnect a clip, which doesn't exist on my phone at least), some battery/plastic combo make a tighter fit, some doesn't. Sliding the battery down to the lower part of the phone probably does help reduce the gap formed by the battery on the upper right area (where the speaker pins are located).

I'm uploading his picture and marked a red circle where the two pins connect to the speaker. I'm convinced this is the spot involved on the speaker disconnecting (i tested this with old/new battery, applying pressure on this spot when the new battery wouldnt allow it to connect too).

Oh and about where to cut. To minimize the cut dimension, put the battery all the way down (lower bottom) of the phone and cut where you ensure the whole battery is exposed. Battery WILL sit tight on it's spot, the back kevlar cover will make sure of that.

Looking back at this post now, I used the phone for a year, and boy did the original battery lose capacity... it didn't make it through the day anymore, it was VERY DEAD in 2:50 screen time.

I did the eb40 mod with a medium cut to the back, but thinking about doing more.
[Motorola Atrix HD] slated13:
Won't turn on!

So, my Atrix HD dropped, the screen broke, and suddenly the phone stopped working (at first, it just shut down randomly, and when i tried turning it on again, the red circle m came on, followed by the at&t screen, then it went to a mixture of white red and green bars; wouldn't turn on another time).

So I opened the back and the battery connector latch was broken. I decided to do this mod, and after installing the new battery, it still doesn't work! If I plug it in, the charging light stays on for about 5 seconds, then it turns off and won't charge, I can't any response whatsoever out of it (vibration, screen or anything), it just stays black. I think i might have broken the battery lash while opening the back, but still, does anyone have any experience with this or know any way I could solve it? :/
[Motorola Atrix HD] suburbias:
Well I "practiced" cutting the extra plastic and....the speaker is now fully functional -sigh-

I guess I was just unlucky that it didn't work the other way, but at least I know what was causing my speaker to not stay connected now.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
Not having to remove the internal frame/chassis is a big part of our success. Only removing the battery connector screws takes a lot of the risks away.

Guys do you think mobile.insurance won't accept the older phone since it was cut??

it's like asking for a video to put 2 LEGO blocks together. When you have both parts in your hands, it's obvious how they fit together.

it is really simple and straight forward.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Av8tor86:
Where do I trim/cut?

This is by no means exact but should take care of the "where do I cut" questions. I have drawn a red line to show where (not exactly) I cut to make the battery fit. Remember the only screws I removed were the battery ones. Take your time and make sure you don't cut too far towards the top, there is a gap between the phone and the plastic so you dont want to push down too far and hit the hardware.

I bought my battery from accessorymallonline.

I didn't have to cut anything on my device. Just a little hard pushing under the plastic. There is a slight bulge in the case, but imo it feels nicer in the hand.

Hi! I followed the thread and it is amazing..now..I am a galaxy nexus owner..would it be possible to perform the same mod on the nexus? Anyone can help me telling the dimensions of the maxx battery?

Another question..my nexus is using a 3.7V battery..would it be compatible with the 3.8V maxx battery??

I appreciate your help

Don't think so man. This is basically using the same battery that will be in the maxx version if and when it comes out. That's why it works.

Hi guys, I'm really tired to have a dead battery in half a day... but three questions. :eek:

I've a lot of difficulty to find this battery at a good price here in Italy, can you help me, even in private message, to find an EB40?... after a fast search on eb#y, I find only EB20 (1700mah).

Other consideration on thikness. If the frame is projected for an EB20, after the procedure, can you close correctly your cell without any strange operations? The thikness remain the same?

other question on heat exchange, did the new battery increase the phone temperatures?

thank you all...:cool:
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Check ebay often. I waited a few months until they had ~30 eb40s cheap.

If you take the foil used to pull the batter of your eb40. It will fit okay, not perfect but ok. You WILL have to cut the plastic from the back of the phone(there are pics in this thread).
[Motorola Atrix HD] Hod_:
Really tanks for your answer! I'll keep you informed on the development of situation! Thanks! :good:
[Motorola Atrix HD] lurch0101:
I've been searching for a battery case and saw ran into this thread. I'd rather upgrade the battery ... Wanted to know if this battery will work/fit in this phone. It's Onite 5700mAh at amazon .

Thanks

Edit: Read the last few pages, seems like it works but no one here has experience with it. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

Hello all ATRIX HD users,

This is a really great post to see the EB40 can fit into the ATRIX HD body.

However, I am using a RAZR M (XT907) and would like to do something similar to what you guys have done.

I am now doing some preparation now before I start look for the EB40 online.

Some questions came up on my mind and I hope you guys can help me out a bit.

1) Any dimensions about the EB40? I made a rough measure on my RAZR M's EG30, it's about 47mm (W), 97mm (L), and the thickness is unknown as I dont wanna completely tear down my phone. If the dimension of the EB40 exceed too much, it's already a dead end.

2) I noticed that the connector of the EB40 is different from EG30, so I should need to takeaway the EG30's connector using some soldering iron and make it on the EB40 (Which might be kind of dangerous?)

3) I've checked the voltage of both batteries and they are both 3.8V, so I guess it's theoretically ok to make it to the RAZR M?

Any thoughts on this plan?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mm166:
Yes, batteries chemistry should be the same and theoretically should work but.... I don't want to open my atrix again but I can give you my EB20 dimensions. Size is same as EB40 just it's not that thick.

So, my EB20 is about 56mm (W), 95mm (L), also that would be pain in the butt to change connector without damaging something. Sorry...
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
umm...that's almost 10mm wider......if that's not even physically ok to put inside the phone...i can save the time figuring out how to change the connector.

Maybe i should take a better look if there's any more width to put the battery first
[Motorola Atrix HD] mm166:
Phone size:

Motorola ATRIX HD MB886 133.5 x 69.9 x 8.4 mm

Motorola DROID RAZR M 122.5 x 60.9 x 8.3 mm

Take a look but I highly doubt that you would be able to jam it in. Good luck..
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
thanks for the info, seems it's a dead end for now.:eek:

Hope there's someone who can provide me exact size of EB40:silly:
[Motorola Atrix HD] decemberlast2013:
my atrix hd with this battery/mod installed, randomly shuts off twice a day. any of you guys found out this battery to cause such issue? the phone is only 6 months old and rooted but I am sure it is not rom or kernel fault...not overclocking or undervolting, running stock rom, unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix HD] pijes:
I managed to install eb40 yesterday into my atrix HD. the small bulge and extra weight gave the phone a better feel to the hand, a bit more comfortable to hold now, at leastfor me. there 's no need to cut any part of the plastic, just don't shove the battery all the way up because it will lift up the said plas tic part which is why some people had to cut it. what I did was removed the black housing (10 screws), carefully put the battery in, screw it's connector then gently push it downwards. by doing this there will be a gap at the top which will eliminate the plastic cutting and also solve the speaker not working issue bbecause the top part of thecase is not push now.

hope fully this will help others. I'm now enjoying my phone even more with this mod. kudos to the guy who discovered it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mm166:
For me it was working without cutting too but I decided to cut it anyway, because I don't want to make extra pressure on battery since it's already larger than EB20.
[Motorola Atrix HD] lurch0101:
just ordered the battery today and gets here on weds. ill try it then and let you know.
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
Could you please help me out by measuring the dimensions of the EB40 when the battery arrived? (width, length, height):confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] lurch0101:
Will do as soon as it arrives.

Heres a 8min HD video of AHD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jql0jxpBpA it's different from the 25min video although that one is very helpful aswell.
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
I made a screen capture and did a rough comparison, seems the EB20 on ATRIX HD is longer than EB40 but the width is similar.

Anyway, thanks very much for your help!

Looking forward to your reply:good::laugh:
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Isn't it the other way around? The eb40 being shorter but thicker?

I had that too when I first put it together. Take it apart and do it again. You need to cut more and pull the foil off the back of battery if you have it on.
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
you are correct, i was thinking the same as you but i typed the other way around:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:
[Motorola Atrix HD] decemberlast2013:
where do you cut? the back cover or the battery itself?
[Motorola Atrix HD] lurch0101:
9.5x5.5x0.85cm

This is the Onite 5700mAh battery. It was too thick to fit without cutting out a piece of plastic from the inside cover. I didn't have tools to do that so I returned it and ordered the OEM eb40.
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
5700...that's kinda crazy:eek:

original eb40 is more than enough for me:silly:
[Motorola Atrix HD] lurch0101:
lol yea i figured why not go all out but I guess I have to settle for the regular eb40 as well.
[Motorola Atrix HD] -Zeta-:
for sure my razr m could not fit in the 5700 one:laugh:

so could you please made another measurement after your regular eb40 arrives?:confused: thanks very much

I didn't think he'd actually do it but golly gee he did. That's amazing.

But in all seriousness like jblaylock said, you need to trim the black plastic, not the battery. The tutorials and guides show that.

[Motorola Atrix HD] joarce:
Completed this mod last night. Very simple. I decided to remove the 10-screw piece and trim the plastic. Took my time, so maybe 20 minutes total. Battery was at 49% charge upon arrival; purchased from cellphone-repair-shop on Amazon and the battery looked new and had a small cellphonedr sticker on one corner that said void if removed or somesuch.

Charging to full today and will report any issues. I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed a few ROMs. All good so far, now I need a fastboot USB cable.

Thanks to the OP and all those who contributed to this thread. I'm coming from a Defy running CM7.2 and so far I'm loving the large screen of the AHD - though I still use the Defy as a wifi device. What I don't like is that although the Incipio $5 case fits the AHD + EB40 just fine, it doesn't fit in any of my utility pockets :mad:

First world problems ...

I just ordered a whole droid RAZR maxx from eBay. It's broken, but I'm getting the battery for less than just a battery, plus I have a broken phone to play around with.

It should be in by Friday, and I'll let you all know how it goes.

The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma
[Motorola Atrix HD] pijes:
please don't cut the battery
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Okay, so I received the phone today. All went well, but I have a few notes.

I didn't know this, but the RAZR maxx uses two different screwdrivers to get to the battery. I only had one (the one for the Atrix). Lucky for me (I guess) the phone I ordered was destroyed. Bad mobo, broken LCD and digitizer. Only working part was the battery. So I just broke the plastic around the battery.

From what I can tell, to make the speaker work you NEED to cut the plastic on the Atrix (where the white tape is). I tried the suggested push down method, it did not work.

If the phone won't turn on when you put the new battery in, don't fret. The battery may be at 0%, and a battery this size needs some time to charge. I left mine on the charger for ~3 hours, came back and it was at 70%. At first it wouldn't turn on but the green light was on, when it had enough to turn on the light turned off.

It is a fairly simple procedure, but I recommend getting to know your phone first. Take it apart a few times first, just to get a feel for it. Be VERY cautious, especially if this is your first time taking apart a phone. It's delicate work, and not everyone can do it.

If anyone has any questions or wants pictures, I'll do my best to help.

Aftermarket batteries typically never give the the performance of an original one.

In short after just two days of this mod I believe your crazy NOT to do it. I got 31 hours off the first charge and I think it would have went further but I wanted to charge it before work. Still would like a kernel that would fix the factory battery meter but I have found an app that measures voltage and I believe gives a more accurate picture of what is left. Before I had trouble with my battery over heating, now it barely gets over 70°. A++ to whoever came up with this one for sure.
