Yes, it's helping - thanks.

At the moment I'm reading about "flashing a rom". If I understand it right, I copy over the .zip to the SD card, name it Update.zip and run it whilst the phone is in recovery mode?

(Do this for both the radio zip and then the EzHero zip?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twiztedvvv:
Sorry i didnt reply last night,

Do a nandroid backup first, then wipe everything,

Flash the ezhero first, then the radio.

You dont need to remame it to update.zip, it will work as it is.

Put the .zip on the root of you SD card (not in any files or folders)

swith phone off, hold the home button and then press power.

Keep hold of the home button until the recovery menu pops up.

Now your in recovery, Nand backup (very important) then wipe then flash exhero.zip from sd card. once finished reboot. EZHero installed :)

If you want to flash the radio get into recovery, nand backup but NO wipe, then flash the radio.zip from SD.

Job done, then flash the black theme.zip (optional)

Need any more help then PM me cuz xda dont have any notifications so i might miss the post, thanks for the folllow on twitter ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeballer:
I have my Evo configured with the gmail app for push email with notifications (ring/vibrate). Overnight I leave my phone on with ring/vibrate enabled in case I have phone call emergency or something, however I don't really want it to sound/vibrate when I get an email at 3am. Is there a way to set the gmail notification for "do not disturb" between certain hours, but leave other call/text notifications on?

Got it from Hong Kong to NY and it got here in about 4 days, super fast shipping. It says Touch Pro 2 on everything so im assuming everything from the TP2 and the Evo are compatible. Well see what happens, here's some pics and the link until i use em enough to crank out a review. Just figured i would share with you guys out there interested in other battery/charging options, Cheers.

Doesn't the Evo use a slightly higher voltage battery? I'm at 91% charge and at 4.139V.

EDIT: I was wrong, just did a battery pull and it says 3.7V just like the battery above.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brennen.exe:
I've got the same two spare batteries and charger (same vendor); I've had them for about two weeks now. I rotate the three batteries as the charge runs out: battery A dies, take battery B from wallet, put battery A on charger, put battery B in phone, put battery C in wallet. Rinse, repeat. The OEM EVO battery gets me about 48 hours per charge, with an average use of 3-5 hours. The two spare batteries get me about 24 hours, with an average of 2-3 hours. Sort of gives you an idea of how well they stand up next to the OEM. Either way, they work great for me and fit comfortably in my wallet. I was under the impression that lithium-ion batteries shouldn't go unused, which is why I keep them on a rotation and let them run dry each time. Likewise I thought they slowly lose their charge potential the longer they are used, so spacing them apart would help extend that, no? Note that I don't know much about lithium-ion batteries, just heresay.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mccurt29:
I got this package off ebay a week before the evo for $11..... They work jus as fine as the regular battery for me
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mistawho00:
I also have been using these batteries in a rotation, which have been working just fine. Happy that I bought then.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zone23:
Hay for 10 bucks I'll give it a try. I can definitely use the charger. I was using my TP2 as a charger now I can sell it if I want. Thanks for posting.

damn!!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] CrozB:
I bought 3 (1 for home, 1 for work, and 1 for RV) and they work great. I wanted the extra batteries for dry camping so $30.00 got me 3 chargers and 6 batteries. Plus my wife still has the TP2 so she can also use these batteries.

The china batteries are working just as well as the stock battery for me. The light on the chargers is a bit bright for my taste, but I keep it charging out of sight.

[EVO 4G Accessories] oreoOozZz:
I have to say the same, im more then pleased with the results so far. They last just as long as the OEM for me and they take awhile to drop from 100% once you charge them in the one supplied within this package.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Freelancerx:
just ordered mine will post my review once i get some use out of them :-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoflorida:

Thanks for posting
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Thanks for sharing OP! Just what I needed, a wall charger. I've got 3 batteries already (stock, Hero battery, and an extra batter I picked up for the Hero.) I've been using the Hero as a charger, but I want to sell it so I needed a new one. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] lc3necro:
Got mine in the mail yesterday, so far only played with 1 battery, charged it over night and have had it in all day. With moderate usage nothing more / less than my normal it seems to be performing on par with the stock battery! Phone has been on for 12 hours, moderate phone / texting, played some games on my lunch and did some crossword puzzles on a break, and I'm at 69% battery.

Worth the $10 by far!
[EVO 4G Accessories] d11dog11:
Got my set yesterday. 5 hours off the charger and at 84% battery. Seems every bit as good as the stock. Also the battery charger has a usb port on it so with a cable you can charger the phone and spare battery. Awesom. Best ten bucks you can spend.
[EVO 4G Accessories] midri:
Got mine a few days ago and I've put the extra batteries through their paces, seem to be solid.

I would be careful I have not rated the output of the USB but the charger it self is 1500mA. I wonder if it's stepping down the current before passing it through the USB (usb is rated for 500mA, however; most usb devices can charge off more; stock charger is 1000mA) Also not sure what the max current the evo can take over usb.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wighty:
For purposes of boosting confidence, I've had mine since November (got them for my cdma hero) and they are still performing just as good as my stock evo battery. I have read that batteries get a better charge if they are charged with no power (ie: plugging your phone into a wall charger while keeping it turned on) so I liked the idea of the battery charger. I keep one in my wallet, rotate around 6pm, then rotate again in the morning. So far seems to work out great for the amount of use my phone gets, which is a lot!
[EVO 4G Accessories] robpet2:
the ones that are on Ebay are not good.. i ordered that same wall charger(style ) when i had my G1 and they break easily.. and the batteries are cheap quality..

this is the best deal i found on a extended battery, and it last more than a day, some people are saying it last for up to 5 days - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-Battery-Droid-Incredible/dp/B003602HIO/ref=pd_cp_cps_3
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
You just posted a link to a battery that cost $41 and rates nearly as bad as batteries that are $11 for two AND a charger... (link to testing here). If you insist on overpaying for your phone battery just buy the OEM one, it beat out the Seidio version in testing and is cheaper.

I've had the ebay charger and two tp2 batteries for 8 months (Hero), I'm now using the same batteries in my Evo and they last just a little less time than my OEM. For the price, the Ebay batteries are an unbeatable deal.

I went so far as to order another charger and two batteries from Ebay and I keep this charger at work. I rotate batteries at work and home, always have a backup and have amassed two chargers and four backup batteries for a total of $20. Ebay deal FTW.
[EVO 4G Accessories] krizno:
Will but a couple my self thanks for the great tip
[EVO 4G Accessories] waterboy100:
what seller are you guys buying these sets from?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
The link to the ebay listing is posted in the first post of this thread, third line from the top...?
[EVO 4G Accessories] waterboy100:
well i feel like an idiot now. thats what i get for skimming and not really paying attn. thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] blueblur:
I bought 2 sets of these for 20 bucks... great deal IMO... free shipping.

I'll have 5 batteries total (1 being HTC OEM) .. i bought two so I could charge two batteries at once plus which ever is in my phone.

i suspect I'm gonna end up breaking the clips on my phone since I'll be battery swapping so much...

I got an email from the ebay vendor this morning:

dont expect it in a rush, fellas!
[EVO 4G Accessories] lc3necro:
I got the exact same badly worded email, and fear not, I received that Email on Sunday June 20th and got my batteries & charger on Friday July 2nd. So ~10 business days.

yea i got these asap from the seller. bonus is he sent me 2 sets by accident. i emailed him about it and he said to just keep it. I figured he would say such since shipping it back to China would be $$$
[EVO 4G Accessories] th3b055:
Man I thought I was the only one. Use a sharpie! That's what I did lol

Been using these batteries exclusively for the past 4 days and they are worth every penny. Way better than I expected

[EVO 4G Accessories] EliWay:
I bought two of the same exact batteries as pictured about a month ago. They are not 1500mAh. There's a thread I think on the Nexus One forum about all these ebay batteries where they are actually tested for actual mAh readings.

Basically they vary from 1000mAh to 1250mAh. Sometimes lower.

Also notice how lighter they are compared to the OEM.

My experience with them are on par with the OP. They definitely don't last as long as stock, and quite frankly if you think they do, it could very well be a placebo effect.

Having said that, for the price they are not that bad. Personally I just ended up shelling out the money for an OEM battery for $25.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lc3necro:
I don't doubt your experience, but I can firmly say there is no placebo effect when I get 16+ hours of good use and over 36 hours of light / minimal (sigh work...why won't you let me play with my phone?) use.

Perhaps being generic / China born they vary a lot, I am not claiming to know...what I am claiming is to have 2 awesome replacement batteries for $10.
[EVO 4G Accessories] markus_del_marko:
Im hoping for a 2000mAh extended to come out for this phone soon. I cannot find one right now, i even looked for one for the tp2 because they share the same battery. No dice yet. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] krizno:
So you have your batteries and you had good results now I'm very exited
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
Yeah I have these, they don't last as long as the real battery, but they last fairly long .They are also really cheap, and come with a nice charger. They haven't exploded or done anything evil. Very good buy, I just leave the 2 batteries in my wallet and swap out when I need them. I have used one of them for a week with constant usage, and it is going great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] toneedo:

[EVO 4G Accessories] axisofoil:
The battery charger charges the OEM battery just fine.

My batteries last within 5% of the total awake time that my OEM does... I can test them for actual mAh ratings if somebody is really, really not ready to believe that.

As for the voltages... if it was any different, it would have to be an entirely different type of battery (i.e. NOT li-ion), or at least TWICE the voltage of the OEM, which would cost more and immediately fry your phone. They are the same voltage and charge to the same voltage. The charger only puts out 1 amp peak, so as long as the batteries are at least 1000mAh, then you haven't exceeded the magical 1C safety charge rate that allows for nearly the highest number of charges before the batteries start losing significant charge-holding-ability.
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
Eh, you know the OEM batteries are manufactured in China as well....right? I charge my batteries on a wall in my kitchen that is very far away from my body. I have been charging four of these batteries (used in a Hero, now the Evo) over and over since last October with absolutely no incident.

These chargers from Ebay are trickle chargers so they pose almost no threat. Charging any battery in your phone plugged into the stock plug is a rapid charge. I don't even bother charging the phone at night anymore, I just grab a fresh battery off the charger in the morning and go. This alleviates the 90% charge people are complaining about when charging the battery within the phone.

Yes and yes. The only things that are unsafe to do with these batteries is put them in extreme temperatures, put them under pressure, get them wet (corrosion will ensue), store them with metal objects (change, paper clips, etc.). Basically anything that could cause an internal or external short could potentially cause any battery to overheat and (could) explode and should be avoided.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chefdementia:
The batteries are most likely a LiPo single cell unit, we use LiPos in RC cars these days. 3.7v is the nominal voltage, on a full charge each cell with be around 4.2v.

[EVO 4G Accessories] LearnIIBurn:
Just ordered a set as well. Not sure how homie in China is making money without shipping charges... but God bless him!
[EVO 4G Accessories] MCL1981:
They charge $10. In china, it costs about $1 to manufacture these batteries and the charger. Mass shipping of a small package, probably a few bucks. Trust me, they're making plenty of money on each one multiplied by how many 10's of thousands they've sold.
[EVO 4G Accessories] krizno:

First it goes to a hong kong courier then through customs to usps the email I said because its an international shipment they can not provide tracking numbers but if your order is not received in 25 days they will re ship or refund you going through customs kinda sucks got some tattoo stuff for my buddy it got seized the first time because the ink and needles weren't separate but I doubt they will seize some batteries

Can you explain to me what the various LED colors mean? I've seen pink and blue on my charger.
[EVO 4G Accessories] krizno:
Put a battery in plug it in the wall the light that turns on is the charging light the other one should turn on when full

"evo you look good won't you back that nand up, damn that rom is fine won't you back that nand up, dude that's a sweet theme won't you back that nand up, what a cool lock screen won't you back that nand up"
[EVO 4G Accessories] shadowhawk2020:
Purple means charging, blue means full. The charger takes a long time to charge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] WillJitsu:
Yeah you would think it would be as simple as that. However, if you put just a battery in the charger, it's pink. If you plug the cord into it and plug up your phone, it's blue. If you don't plug up the phone and just charge the battery, it turns blue when full. So how do you know when the external battery is charged if you're also charging your phone at the same time? :-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] WillJitsu:
Thanks. What about when charging the phone and external battery at the same time? Any way to tell when the external battery is charged? Mine turns blue immediately when charging both and neither of them are at 100%.
[EVO 4G Accessories] oreoOozZz:
Use them seperately, use the ebay wallcharger to charge the batteries themself and then use the oem htc charger to charge the actual phone when you need to.
[EVO 4G Accessories] WillJitsu:
Yeah that's what I'm going to end up doing. I just thought it was strange that it turns blue (fully charged color) while charging both. Pretty misleading.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:

Batteries say TP2 Replacement

Identical to the pictures in post #1.

In my eyes they appear the same weight, and size as the EVO OEM. My TP2 OEM seems thicker, heavier, and a little bigger (tight in my EVO).

After a couple days of testing I can say unofficially that the batteries seem to last just as long as the original EVO battery. I don't have any scientific proof or photos so I guess you would have to take my word for it.

ALSO THEY HAVE NOT EXPLODED... YET
