Ok, here is a little review on the extended battery (2800 mAh) and its bulky back casing.

comparing the extended battery casing and standard casing, and the batteries:

in my hand:

physically, the back casing fits nicely...yeah it makes the TP2 more bulky and yeah, you'll notice the bulk. but, i need the extra power....

Physical Review

The extended battery is heavier than the standard one, so, its not just adding the extra bulk but also extra weight. If you are already used to the weight of TP2, you wont notice the extra weight but you will immediately notice the extra bulk!! Surprisingly the back casing sits firmer than the standard casing, i dont experience the usual "accidently opened casing" using theextended battery casing. The material is plastic with a glossy finish, similar to original casing (quality is still questionable thou), sadly, the color is light grey so it makes the coloring uneven. A darker grey would be better. The extended casing will add an extra around 3-4 mm to the device. I did not notice any difference in the sound produce by the extra casing compared to the standard one. the volume keys works well, the mute button also does the job, glowing only on the side gaps. The stylus hole is too deep, its a pain to get the stylus out. But hey, i dont think I ever take out the stylus except only when I have to do a softreset.

Performance

I need to let you know that i'm a very heavy user of the device. Using standard battery on EDGE, i usually get 9 hours of juice, sometimes less (4.5 hours standby, 4.5 hours usage). When i turn it to HSPA, it would go for only 6 hours. If i use automatic, it will go in between. My test on the battery is using the automatic for the first cycle, EDGE and HSPA will be added later.

Test result:

Automatic setting: 14 hours

EDGE only: 17 hours

HSPA only: 10 hours

Looking good there.... I predict for normal usage will add extra 1-2 days of durability.

and oh yeah, i bought it here...

Maybe you could mention it's a 2800mAh battery in the first post.

Wonder how long the battery lasts. I get about 3 to 4 days with my Vario V wich is a lot for a WM device :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
thanks mate, just edited it,

my standard battery last me for 9 hours so i'm hoping it would last me more than 15 hours
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mccune:
Seems like a pretty heavy device to me. Since the original TP2 isn't really light when you get it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
added performance review.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] somethingdope:
forgive me for asking, but what exactly do you do on the device that drains the battery that quickly ?? i get by about 3 days on standby, 36 hours with cell radio on, 36 hours without. a little bit of wifi and text messaging and around 15 minutes of phone calls each day, give or take a few minutes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] RogerStenning:
Just a guess, but probably the GPS is the problem. That, on any phone, EATS battery capacity rapidly.

There's a new SiRF chipset - v4 - due out soon, that allegedly combats this problem, but we won't be seeing that in phones for at least two generations yet, due to design, prototyping, pre-production, production, and lead time to market issues, of course.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] somethingdope:
i would, however, jump on this if htc released their own official battery pack with a proper battery cover.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] EVPofPFD:
does ne one know if this will fit the cdma version (telus) touch pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] leginag:
Isn't the extended battery WIDER than the original? How does it fit in then?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] corepda:
LOL with new casing man. :D

I'm using my push mail as replacement of me texting, and i do mails a lot!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
not WIDER but THICKER and it fits in well in the compartment thou it will pop up half of the extra battery's body.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
nah, GPS is normal.....its the data traffic that eats me battery
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] freaknormel:
Try to replace the battery when it runs low.. Maybe it will increase the battery life.

this was the case with the 2800 battery for the tytn II...

It refilled till 60 % i think after first replace, than till 20 after second..

I think thats a known issue for some of yours
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vasra:
Offtopic, but.

SiRF IV is for dedicated GPS devices. Phones have been using A-GPS functions of SoC chips for some time now. Now recent *phone* that I know of uses SiRF chips and I don't expect this to change for the foreseeable future, even with SiRF IV. Yes, there will be lower power A-GPS SoCs out there, but the savings will be negated by higher Mhz CPU/GPU combinations.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] phigafr:
I got a 2nd battery which I think more practical..

With the bigger battery, it won't fit in the case or the car holder for GPS use!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] powersquad:
where did you buy it from anyways?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] phigafr:
Got it locally in a PDA shop
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
true it wont fit, but more practical in a way u dont have to charge 2 batteries and i use my car tray and sits my tp2 there using antislip surface (tilted) looks more natural.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mmafighter077:
Cool man. Ill buy your original back from you... I don't like the one that comes with the tmo tp2. Anyone know if it will actually fit?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] samstables:
I bought one - an extended battery that is - from ebay.

It's pretty much as described previously in this thread, the quality of the cover isn't top notch and I found it came off a bit too easily (well given the proper back is almost impossible to get off, anything seems to easy in comparison!), but it's ok and was cheaper than a normal power HTC branded spare/ replacement battery...

I only bought it for occasional use as it just makes the TP2 too bulky for everyday use, so have charged it and tried it for a day or so, but haven't checked to see how long before it runs down, sorry!

The one thing I would bring to your attentionis that if you don't have fingernails, don't expect to get the stylus out without a fight, as the extra depth of the replacement back cover makes it pretty difficult to get at the stylus.

If anyone has any other questions, do ask!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] billu:
On one of the pictures, there seem to be gaps around the mini USB socket with the new cover. Is that the case? (pun intended) and if so then I would have thought it would be a dust magnet for the internals.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] samstables:
I don't know what is near the bottom that could be affected by dust - only one part appears to be open enough to allow any dust in as the rest is sealed. I wouldn't think it's a huge problem - the gap is pretty small; basically the angle was hard to match with a deeper back cover because of the curve of the USB socket.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
nope, there is no single gap on the new cover, its looks darker on the pic (hence seems theres a gap) but when you put your nails through it, or use something thin and sharp, it cant go through at all....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] emwdava:
I got mine today from superetrader.co.uk

The back cover is a really poor fit.

The volumerocker doesn't work.

Both thumbs down.

It wasn't expensive so I didn't exactly have high expectations.

They should've included a modified stylus that fits the new batterycover as the stock stylus is very hard to pull out now. Very hard to reach it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gunggu:
as i've been saying somewhere in this forum, goods from china is like taking a cat inside a bag, you'll never know what you will atually get hohohoho.....

i just bought a cable tv and it doesnt work... :((
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] samstables:
Mine is from the same place and the volume and mute buttons work fine. It fits fine, just a bit looser than the really difficult to get off HTC one.

I guess it's just a matter of luck with these "not so high quality" non branded goods :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] josefcrist:
Do you have to do this with this extended battery?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Ramsfan_Jim:
I also received mine yesterday from SuperGPS (I think that's the same company). I take the point on the Back Cover - although I can get the volume buttons to work, but the stylus IS difficult to extract.

HOWEVER, I charged the battery last night and installed it. With the same usage as my 1500mh battery, whereas the original would be at approx 60% by this time, the extended battery is still at 92%!!

With previous extended batteries (on the Kaiser) I know the battery meter was unreliable (there was usually more power left than stated). Is it possible it is accurate on the TP2?

Cheers,

Cameron Sino Batteries.

They don't perform for more than 3 months. I got one of these... infact the exact same thing for my Hermes. It was great initially.... but after a few months it got worse than the original. Considering they cost next to nothing... Guess it's ok.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] tiberius183:
Also, it should be mentioned, that this battery (or rather just the battery cover) would not be compatible with the CDMA version of the TP2 since the CDMA version has a 3.5mm headphone jack in addition to the miniUSB port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] imperiallight:
I bought a 3600mah one for £10. I might post its use if its particularly good or bad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] tiberius183:
I just bought the Seidio 1750 mAh extended battery. Its cool because it does not need an extended case (so it works with the CDMA version). However after two days of use I have started to notice a problem with the data connection automatically switching on after I manually turn it off. I'll continue to use it throughout the week and if there's any other problems, its off to ebay with it...

I'll do anything to keep my phone from dieing but I hate feeling like I'm stuck to a cord because the battery is going to do, so I always go to Mugen batteries and get the biggest battery possible for my phone models, been doing it for years. here's a link to the biggest TP2 battery you can buy

http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] grant9908:
by the way, in case you're too lazy to click on the link (;p) it's to a 4500mah battery, the TP2 comes with a 1500mah, so that 3X MORE POWER! XD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Heijdemann:
Pull out and in

Read somewhere that it is running empty same time like the standard battery after that you must pull out the battery and place it back then you have again juice you can (depending on the Ah) repeat that several times till he is realy empty. Seems that HTC devices are measure till 1600 mAH and then asume that the battery is empty.

Can anybody confirm this?

first check if you have the phone "on" in comm manager and not in airoplane mode :p

then try the radio 1.65.24.36 niki radio...

if nothing work.. and if you flash an other rom you don't have any problem maybe something goes wrong with your cooking..

No matter what I am doing on my phone, be it messaging or running sat nav, after about 5 seconds of inactivity the phone will go back to the main screen menu.

This is becoming more and more frustrating.

Is this a bug or can it be fixed with settings or registry.

Had the rom installed since february but it's only the last few weeks that this has started to happen.

Hi cmorephotos,

The only setting I know of for you to check is under "Start, Settings, Home screen" at the bottom there is a setting called timeout, which returns the phone to the home screen after a specific amount of time. Check that out.

[Touch 3G General] benoitvm:
I have a ww english version of the Touch 3G

The HTC software keyboard (called "Full QWERTY") nicely follows regional settings, and hence displays the AZERTY layout matching my language :-)

The WM OS software keyboard (called "Keyboard") keeps defaulting to QWERTY...

But here comes the trick: I have an "old" bluetooth foldable keyboard (was working fine with my QTEK S100), that I am trying to use with my Touch 3G; the layout of this hardware keyboard is AZERTY.

2 options, 2 problems:

option #1: use the latest drivers available for the keyboard (which is no longer supported by the manufacturer); unfortunately,the drivers apparently don't like wm 6.1 and cause crashes in the services.exe module.

option #2 : have the keyboard recognized by wm 6.1 as standard HID BT device ("Think Outside Keyboard"): that works, despite some functionality loss I can live with, but the keyboard layout is wrong, b/c the device OS is ww english, and hence the layout is QWERTY, regardless of the regional settings....Apparently, this follows the logic of the WM OS software keyboard, not the HTC soft keyboard...

Question: in order to make option #2 work: I would need to tweak the OS to use the AZERTY keyboard layout instead of the default QWERTY... any way to accomplish that ?

Can you advice which version of FingerKeyb 2.1 work perfect in HTC Touch 3g (Jade).

Although, Jade already have Full Qwert keypad, which is quite comfortable, but it gets deformatted once I manually change the orientation to Landscape (using QuickMenu).

So, basically I'm looking for a keypad similiar or better than Full Qwerty Keypad to use in Landscape orientation.

Thanks in advance!!
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
You can try this one:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cret:
Apologies if this has already been asked before but it's tricky to search for stuff relating to "6.5" as it returns no results (and apologies if I'm being stupid and just doing it wrong!!).

I've taken the plunge a couple of nights ago and started trying different 6.5 Roms (haven't flashed my HD before), thanks to the superb flashing for dummies guide.

Problem is that I've now tried to add in SPB3 as it's one of my favourite apps and at least on NRG's rom it wouldn't open at all, and somehow mangled the contacts as well.

Does anyone know of a 6.5 rom where it will work ok?

Thanks & keep up the good work!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dajhoony:
I haved allready used many different ROMS, Dutty, Miri, some Germans, and SPB3 runs on all of them.

Dont have any issues.

Look if the problem is something with your configuration. Do a hard reset and install it again. I dont believe, that WM 6.5 is a reason for the problems.

have a great day.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
There is already a thread on SPB3 in Themes, Applications and Software forum.

If you look at the sigs of people a lot are using wm6.5 roms, so it sounds like your configuration or installation is wrong. Try asking in that thread please.

Facing the same problem previously.

What I did is increase the volume for both device & phone in speaker icon.

2. Phone icon is for ringer volume.

Just tap on the speaker icon & you will see it.:D
