Thanks I was fearing as much, i did find a few photos last night, that seemed to show a gap where the cover meets the phone body under the camera LINK

thanks for the info!

Sounds like looks 1/10 function 9/10 :)

looks like i'll wait in line with everyone else for the HTC battery with kikstand to be released.....one day :rolleyes:

[HD2 Accessories] osrix:
you have a point! I have just been looking at the HTC extended battery and i really like it but the price and not be able to use a case really puts me off...so i think you are right, maybe a spare or two standard batts are the answer ;)

Just got mine in the mail.

I kind of had to push it on real hard. I think it clicked. It's got a rubber finish. Not bad but not perfect. Haven't used yet will report.

21$ USD received in about 2-3 days from purchase in the U.S. Pretty quick. I like that. Doesn't ship from Hong Kong. Or it didn't for me anyway.

I bought the one from Clove a few weeks ago. The cover didn't fit too well. The space cut out for the volume bar prevented the cover from sitting onto the device properly. I cut out a bit of the corner then it fit.

Then I found the cover didn't "lock" well to the device. One side was OK while the other was just too loose (it didn't "click"). Just a slight touch/pressure would make the cover fall off. This was totally unacceptable.

I nevertheless still held on to it just to see how the battery perform. I fully charged it for 8 hours (overnight) but then I just felt (feeling only; no proper testing) that it was more than the original juice by half only, no where near the supposed-to-be-almost-double.

Being totally disappointed, I returned the cover + battery to Clove, who admitted that it was a manufacturing defect (I didn't really complain about the battery). New stock will however be only available end of the month.

While waiting for the new stock, Clove was kind enough to inform me that the original HTC extended battery (with stand) was available. So, I informed them that I would want to get the original HTC one instead.

Sales at Clove really sucked. They didn't even bother to read emails nor customer records or whatever and asking me to return my battery - what the heck. Like this, after a few rounds of email exchange (one email reply per day), the Sales finally seemed to understand the situation and advised me of an additional charge of 30 British Pounds ??????

The HTC extended battery is priced at 35 pounds while the one I returned is 15 pounds. So, apart from the VAT, etc., they obviously charge me at least 10 pounds for the shipment, again. Excuse me, that was supposed to be a replacement!!!

Like this, another few rounds of email exchange (that means a few days), i finally gave up and stick to waiting for the replacement.

Just some experience to share with those who are interested in this battery and buying from Clove.

as if the HD 2 isnt big enough allready. I just bought a spare normal battery which i will keep in the car or something.
[HD2 Accessories] Jammie_1989:
Battery isn't really a problem anymore at least with my phone. Can have Wifi and bluetooth on all day listen to music ect. Make calls and browse and still on about 30-50% at 11pm when taken off charge at about 7am. If I turn things off and use it just a bit I can get 2-3 days out of it. Using Elegance Rom with 2.07 Radio :D
[HD2 Accessories] juiceppc:
Here's my review:

http://htchd2.net/?p=70

I purchased the battery on Ebay here http://myworld.ebay.com/av-battery/. It arrived in about 2-3 business days. Pretty quick. Obviously not shipped from outside the U.S.

Where I live my HD2 is constantly struggling to hold a signal. It goes between 1-3 bars 3G most of the day. Mostly hanging around 1 bar and sometimes dropping signal altogether depending where I’m standing in my house. So with that said I’ve charged it fully and used it 2 full days. I mess with the HD2 most of the day surfing via wifi and 3G. Watch some videos and do a handful of calls a day. The battery does definitely offer more juice than the standard. I wouldn’t say double but maybe 70-75% more. So for me I get pretty much a full days use out of it. But I think it’s because my signal isn’t great where I live. If I lived where I had 4 bars constantly I’m thinking I’d get at least 2 days out of it.

It does have a good rubberized coating and the extra girth isn’t really a big deal. Actually the hump kind of fills a gap in my hand when I hold the device. In the pocket it does stick out more but not too bad. My cover didn’t fit on perfectly on my device also. It did click on both sides though. Some people are saying that one side isn’t clicking on. But mine did after I applied some pressure. Definitely not as quality as the original cover and it’s plastic not metal. Also the volume keys are almost flush with the cover making it hard to click the volume keys.

One benefit of this battery is when I lay the phone on it’s back the camera edge doesn’t scratch surfaces anymore. I think I can live with the hump on this device. I think I’ll keep this battery on. I’m curious about the official extended battery how/if it will perform better and I think I would like the kickstand. But for half or even less the price I’m OK with this solution for now.

SCORE: 8.0
[HD2 Accessories] optiknerv:
I bought one of these off ebay also. Seems the same one as is available everywhere. Battery was ok but backplate was crap and would not clip in on one side. I complained and asked for a replacement, which they granted and then i changed my mind that I wanted a refund. They gave me my refund and didnt ask me to post it back :) Next thing they have sent me a replacement as well :) :)(although again backplate wont clip in properly)!!!! And in between i ordered the official one so ive got three now lol.

Anyways the official one is far far better. Backplate is metal and of perfect construction (as you might expect) and kick stand is nice and solid.
[HD2 Accessories] pm007:
got this battery today. The back cover doesn't feet well, one side doesn't lock.
[HD2 Accessories] dlamhn:
Hello,

I bought this 2400mAh battery a month ago, but it has the same problem. The capacity of the battery is as described, but the battery indicator shows wrong percentage. It means that, when the indicator shows 0% and automatically turn the phone off, the battery still have about 50% of the power inside. I have to remove the battery out of the phone and install again, then it shows the 50% left.

Anybody know how to install it in a correct way (without this problem).

Thank you very much!
[HD2 Accessories] mknewman:
Ok, I bought the same battery off thEbay and the cover didn't fit well either. So I got out my pocket knife and shaved away very thinly on the cover where it has the cutout for the volume buttons, and also at the bottom of that edge till it fit and clicked in place. The most I had to cut away was at the top and bottom of the buttons, and in the radius. I think I trimmed a very tiny bit off the top of the cover too. It's very soft plastic so go slow like you are shaving it. Fits like a champ now with very noticeable increase in power.
[HD2 Accessories] mofjel:
I have the same problem. Battery goes flat, remove and insert and 50% more to go. Really annoying.
[HD2 Accessories] u2pop:
This is normal I think. I too have this issue since my HTC Hermes. If I,m not mistaken, the problem lies in battery chip or driver.
[HD2 Accessories] himik:
Problem in the driver (battdrvr.dll).

I have put the chip from the original version and have changed nothing

battery

wow first i was really exited about this battery and startet the computer to buy it, i thought ''first i gonna take a look at xda for some updates'' but then i saw this article and now i m not buying it. maybe i go for the original one??

thanx a lot

btw try another rom it helped for me ;)

ps. srry for my bad english
[HD2 Accessories] sarababak:
I'm agree with you, much better that crab. I'm ganna to buy one more bat.
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
I thought the official HTC extended battery with kickstand had the same problem but there was some patch to resolve this. Perhaps the patch works with this battery too?
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
The first photo shows the quality of this battery, the case doesnt even fit properly. This, with the bulge, makes this a definite no buy for me...
[HD2 Accessories] Cret:
I wouldn't recommend these. I bought one a while ago and the case does not fit.

It clips in fine on one side but the other side will not clip in place at all, so the cover just hangs off the phone all the time. I have no idea whether the battery itself is any use since I haven't used it because of this problem with the case. Totally unacceptable and a waste of £12 or whatever it was.
[HD2 Accessories] barrybounce:
I got one, and I got it in mid June so it was despite reading a lot of the poor feedback here!

The reason I got it was because I wanted to be able to rely on my phone working all day long in e-Stonia, the country with incredible reliance on the internet and wifi coverage that would put a lot of network's 3g coverage to shame, where being without internet can be a bit like being without a toilet. I didn't think the standard battery was quite up to lasting a long day with heavy browsing / wifi / gps use, but I didn't feel I needed that much extra either.

The battery doesn't last quite as long as double the length of time the ordinary one does, but I'd say on an unscientific basis that it had about two thirds extra capacity, which was enough for my purposes.

It's not a pretty battery. It's big, you won't be able to put your phone in any case, and the cover supplied isn't great quality is unnecessarily thick and doesn't fit that well. In addition, the grey paint chips / flakes / gets worn off the cover it and after not that long really you are left with something that looks quite grubby.

However I was happy with it for the purposes I got it for. If you do need a bit of short term extra capacity and can't be bothered swapping between batteries during the day, or if you can only charge one battery at a time during the night, then it's a product capable of meeting certain needs, and I was happy with it in that regard.

i just bought the htc extended battery with the kick stand battery cover. here are some pics of it.
[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
I kind of like the idea of the flaws in this so I ordered one.

If I am out on a busy day with this and it goes dead I will still have about 33% left with minimal inconvenience.

It will give me a better non-slip grip on the dang thing. In our sweaty hands in Florida, that is a good thing. HD2's do not bounce well!

It will give me a chance to use that new pocket knife I got for my birthday to make it fit correctly. Oh,the glorius satisfaction of physical moding!

I can cut up some of those cheap cases I bought off ebay and try to make them fit. See glorius satisfaction above.

When I am messing around with these android builds, I will not "break a nail" removing the battery to re-boot like I do now. Just grab it and pluck it out. Sweet!

I wouldn't have to make my famous kick stand out of napkins and suger packets anymore.

I can spend some time figuring out how to tack the kickstand to the wifi antenna to get that exttra street cafe coverage I been dreaming about.

Dang, I should of paid for 2 day air!

Thank you all.
[HD2 Accessories] s10shane:
thats odd i have had no issues with my htc extended battery at all. charges fine with my custom wm rom and my android rom. the battery life kicks ass and the kick stand is really nice to have also. but it does make the phone a bit bulky but i think it is worth it. i got my htc extended battery on ebay brand new still sealed in the htc box for 35 bucks out the door. no tax or shipping which was great but i had to get it shipped from hong kong. but was worth the wait since that battery and cover is a lot more in the u.s.

also the cover fits perfect on my us tmobile hd2.

Pocketnow Video Of HD2 Extended Battery

They don't say much really but there is a Video on you tube from pocketnow of the Extended Battery. Do a search for "HTC HD2 Extended Battery Provides about 2.5 Days of Power"

[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
I have been using the ebay 2400 battery

on my 9193 with no problems.
[HD2 Accessories] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Really now, you bought the one that is sold from a hong kong seller and it works on your 9193, when I saw that they were labeled 8585, I figured that I was out of luck. If you can remember what seller you bought yours from could you please let me know, also does yours have the kick stand that I have seen in Videos and the pictures posted here.

Thanks

Dre
[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
Yes it has the plastic back and kick stand.

The kick stands are plastic and fragile so be careful. Mine has not broken and is not loose. The cover fits tight as original. Get a cheap gel cover and cut a form fitting hole in the back. The stiffer gels are better as the rubbery ones are a little loose when you cut the hole.

I don't remember which vendor. Just get it from the one with the most sales and highest rating. Check their latest comments and feed back.

The phone with the larger battery and cover is easier to handle and is no more of a problem to carry than original in your pants pocket.
[HD2 Accessories] larrytango:
I love my HD2, but i hate the battery life.

I am a person who uses the phone ALL the time.

I bought this exact same battery from a UK seller on Ebay (£9.99), I have seen people state 2+ days with an extended battery but as i mentioned earlier i use my phone alot

O2UK ,Installed latest O2 Rom on the HTC website:

ROM 3.14.206.1 (04666) WWE

Radio 2.15.50.14

Running Android via SD 16GB Class 10

AmeriCanAndroid SD

My Opinion

The plastic backing is cheap, however i have seen photos that make it appear that it doesn't fit well - this isn't the case for my UK HD2, it fits perfectly (It just looks 'wrong'). I hammered the phone all day. I downloaded many apps from the market, watched episodes from BBC Iplayer, Youtube clips and various other downloads. I spent a lot of time sending images via ping chat and sending SMS (hoping someone would reply ... i have no friends lol), played many many many pointless games that i had just downloaded and used the camera to snap everything that moved and many things that didnt.

I never made any phone calls (im not a big talker) so that should be taken into consideration.

The phone lasted 10 hours 20 minutes (approx .. it would have lasted slightly longer but at this point battery usage decided to stop working)

You will notice on the images i upload the slope then sudden spike up (this is because i didn't realise that i had a cheap battery and that unplugging it and turning back on would result in the phone re-evaluating the remaining %) , as a result I got 10 hours usage but i actually removed battery 2 times due to my lack of understanding of what was happening.

I use the standard HTC HD2 pouch so i dont have a case / cover for my phone which means i cant use this as an everyday battery (phone goes in my pocket), however I think this makes a good "backup" battery, and I will keep it with me for long bus journeys or the rare occasion i know i will be away from a usb port for a while

Additional: My signal is ALWAYS week if anyone has any solution that would be great (I hear bad signal means more battery use?)
[HD2 Accessories] :
Does any of the extended batteries work great WITHOUT having to remove the battery and plugging it back in? That's something I don't want to do in order to get more life out of a battery.

Please post links or offer site names if you have any extended batteries that work longer without removing them
[HD2 Accessories] nolan.b:
For those who mentioned having to do a battery pull 50% in....What about using battery calibration app?

Or removing the batterystats.bin (assuming we're all using Android).

Just a thought, but your phone may think it's still using a 1230mah still (or whatever it is).

1) run the battery calibration app (or manually use terminal)

2) charge extended battery to 100%

3) when fully charged, run it to the ground -- 0%

4) recharge

5) confirm no longer need to battery-pull 50% of the way

Just my two cents.

Let me know then i'll buy one :p

You know the TMOUS is a larger size? Will that cover fit?
[HD2 Accessories] LuckTR:
hah, I am actually from Yuma, AZ. Have T-mo version of HD2 and did my homework before purchasing. True, Euro version is a bit smaller, but screen and battery compartment including the battery door are the same except housing itself.

In other words, fit and operation is flawless. Go for it and perhaps report back with your experience.

Hope this helps ;)

[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I assume you were replying to my post. Anyway, I think I prefer the thin size. But I am surprised it fits - all the Ebay extended batteries specifically say it won't fit the TMOUS version. If I ever do change my mind, I will certainly consider that one. Thanks for the input.

Just got my 2600mah battery and I already can tell, that this battery will last a lot longer than the original one :)

Quick question though: I'm using HyperDroid V12 with BatteryMonitor. I just switched the batteries, now he's still showing 1230mah from the original one. Any ideas how I can update this? I found the option for changing capacity ... but is this for real the only option? I assumed there would be something like auto-recognition. How should I set this up? Wait til the battery is exhausted, then load it to 100% and then set the mah in BW?

Thanks for answers, this forum is awesome!

my pro's & con's

greetings =0)

i bought the original extended item and am an ongoing user for about 2 month now.

pro:

-it really is getting the device thought the day with one not holding back to use its features a little above necessarity

-it has a little pod to lean it back like the new devices have integrated be default

-with its bigger cover it leaves a little bit of space to bring along second sd card

con:

-the cover is made from plastic...feels a litte cheap compared to the spine like original

-no "fitting" protective gear so far

...the silicon case works for the edges but gets overstretched by time

...no bag fits or i haven't just tried enough them

anywho;

i got what i was looking for and i don't f*ing care anymore about scratches and dents, 'cause this i my second! (got it after breaking the display cause the htc belt clip case let it slip, while i was exiting the car...so it seem to me htc doesn't care about robust nor secure features in their products and are also flooding the marked with so many not really diverse and thought throught devices like they did when the started).

i wish you all the best and a lot of fun with those XDA's ... kind of cool what can be done while on the run ... =0)
