Going through this thread, I was getting more and more excited over the thought of picking one of these up. I see they are about 60 bucks for the battery+back cover. Not a bad price.

However on the last page I'm seeing here that due to the funky way the Evo circuitry charges... it refuses to charge up to it's true 3500mAh capacity? I realize I could buy a wall charger and all that jazz, but this really is a deal breaker for me. I'm a charge off USB guy only, I keep the phone propped up right next to my monitor for ease of use. I flat refuse to take the battery out every 1.5 to 2 days and be "dead" for 12+ hours. Yes, I know i could slap my stock battery in but my desire is to never have to open up the phone.

In terms of charging I want the phone to fully charge but keep its 100% stock behavior, i.e. i can plug it in anytime, forget about it for a few hours and have it sitting FULLY charged by the time I need to roll. Without having to do fancy swaps, re-plugging it back in, and all that jazz.

Would love to drop the 60 bucks for this, but not until someone can figure out a way to make it behave 100% like the stock battery in terms of charge behavior.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
This is probably the best way to go about charging this battery. What is actually happening though is, that you are catching the phone at a charge between 90 and 100 when you unplug it and then when you re-plug, you are getting it to 100. This actually fine and the correct way to treat the stock battery. I was just looking for a way to get the light to only turn green when the battery was actually at 100 which, I don't think is possible.
[EVO 4G Accessories] smw6180:
It isn't. The evo runs off the battery for a bit once it hits full charge. Nature of the beast. It's supposed to extend battery life.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
I think you misunderstood what I am saying. When using the 3500 battery, the green light turns green for me when the battery hits 68% because the evo still thinks that it is charging the 1500 battery. Why? Because it is dumb. I wouldnt mind if the green light turned green at or near actual 100 on the 3500. The fact that it turns green at 100 for the 1500 battery when I'm using the 3500 battery is dumb.

Root, custom recovery, wipe battery stats.

[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
so are yall getting the battery to fully charge in the phone yet?

this is really getting annoying
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Using a wall charger, yes. I have two of the Seidio 3500mAh kits. I do agree, it's been driving me nuts also.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
yea but we shouldnt have to risk breaking our battery door cover tabs just to change out a fcking battery

something has GOT to shake here
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
I given up on trying to get the battery to charge correctly in the phone. Can you tell me what wall charger you are using? Thanks.

It is the dumbest most frustrating problem that I have ever come across on any cell phone that I have ever had in my years of having cell phones. And I have had some pretty bad cell phones. The fact that HTC hasn't come out with a statement AND a fix is even worse.

Lets try to get some steam behind it. Seems like our only hope.
[EVO 4G Accessories] csmith75:
Glad I came back to this thread...I am having the same problem. Just got the battery on Thursday and charged it for over 11 hours and intermittently throughout the day on Friday.

Today, I ran the battery down until it completely discharged and then it stated it would take 2 hours to charge with the ac adapter. As soon as the light turned green, I took it off the charger. It was 5:07. At 5:19 pm it was at 60%. I lost 40% in 12 minutes. Unbelievable.

So now, I have to buy an external charger? Sigh. Love the phone, but hate the fact that it can't charge a battery properly. I have never seen this problem in a device before.

Welcome to Club Frustration.

Check out the thread I started in development: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761117

I'm trying to really get somewhere on this.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Two options: 1. Turn phone off and charge phone overnight or 2. Charge battery externally from the phone. Doesn't matter which wall charger or battery you use...
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
Neither of these options work for me. I need the phone on all night and I'd rather not open up my phone every night to take out the battery and charge it in the wall.

Is it so much for us to ask for the Evo to charge a battery properly? My nokia candy bar phone with snake on it could properly charge a battery. Hell, the Treo 600 that I had, which I think was the worst phone that I ever owned, could charge a battery properly. The Evo can't charge a battery properly? C'mon.

I'll go for option 3. though, fix it so it works.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I agree. As I stated in your link, I believe this is a firmware related issue. I have two EVO's (one for work and another for other things) and my wife also has one. Regardless of the many different batteries ( (3) stock 1500mAh, (2) ebay 1500mAh, (1) ebay 3000mAh, and (1) Seidio 3500mAh) including different roms...this problem still exists.
[EVO 4G Accessories] asesino:
Besides the price between them and the shape I dont see any difference.They r made out of the same material.I like the eBay one better don't really like how Seido shaped it.

If I were u I will get on eBay right now,$12.00 for the battery and the door.C'mon.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SteveDusa:
Boy am I glad I got this battery!

In addition I also ordered the case for the extended batter as well. The Seidio holster fits with a little gap on top ans the bottom but its quite secure.

As for the battery performance? Well it beats the hell out of the stock. I did a batt stat wipe the first night before it was put on the charger. After overnight charge I can run through the day with WiMax most the time and end up with no less than half of the battery.

Oh yes the grip on the phone is better as well. It fits in your palm quite nicely.

Overall I am loving it.

PS I am rooted with Unrevoked Forever and DC3.5.
[EVO 4G Accessories] boomer30:
Sorry I dont mean to hi-jack this thread but this may be of use to anyone here that is interested.

As fast as I got my 3500 mah battery pack with door and innocase extended battery case cover, I need to sell it. I spent nearly $100 for the entire thing and I only had it for 1 week. Im selling it for $50 shipped, if and are interested please PM me.

Thanks !!!

[EVO 4G Accessories] accelerus:
Slight correction -- you didn't lose 40% of your extended battery in 12 minutes... because you never HAD that 40% to begin with. The phone's charging circuitry cuts off the charge once it reaches 100%, then let's it run off battery power till it thinks it's hit 90% then tops it off.

The problem is all this is based on the phones assumption that you have a 1500mAh battery, when in fact you have one nearly double that capacity.

You aren't losing any juice at all - the whole problem is getting the phone to charge an extended battery on its own properly without resorting to tricks. Until this problem has been fixed someone I'm not going to be getting any kind of extended battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kooper113:
I don't seem to have this issue you guys describe. Mine charges to 100% And lasts for days via USB/AC

Sent not from my iPhone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
Im wondering if this isnt the work around needed for extended batteries . Granted the charging rate would be slow as hell but then I plug my phone in at night when I sleep (7-8 hours) . I thought I read somewhere where the phone on AC will charge up to 100% then stop charging till it drops to 90% . Where as USB charging its at a slower rate but never shuts off ? Maybe finding a wall charger that charges slow enough to trigger the trickle charge effect . Just random brain storming here
[EVO 4G Accessories] csmith75:
It does appear to charge to 100% when charged in an external charger. I used an external charger that I had for my regular battery and let it go an extra 2 to 3 hours and I don't experience the insane dropoff.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
yea when charged on the wall..... stooooopid battery life...

i can be hammering it for the first 30mins - 1hr after it turns on and still sitting at 95% plus battery power...

I bought the Seidio wall charger on eBay with the charger and the base that u need to charge the EVO for 26.99$ on seidio.com the charger is 30$ and the charging base for the EVO is like 19.99$ I think
[EVO 4G Accessories] hwnstyle21:
Has anyone tried charging the phone/battery solely via USB?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rdzlyz:
Usb on computers gives out .5mah, charging would take forever
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
I wouldn't mind it taking longer if it actually reaches 100%. Why would I care how long it takes to charge while I'm sleeping for 7-8hrs
[EVO 4G Accessories] csmith75:
No...it takes forever to charge the phone via USB with the regular battery. Can't imagine how long it would take with the extended. I've just resigned myself to using my external charger.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jsimon9633:
How long does that charger take to charge the extended battery?

What's the amp rating on it
[EVO 4G Accessories] rdzlyz:
I will let you know when I get it. Some one here I bet can answer your question though
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
when you first get your battery you need to charge it fully for 8 hours... and extra hour or two wont hurt either

since i battery swap, i just leave it on the wallplate charger
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
that gahdamn overstock deal keeps on evading me.... lol i caught the first deal, i need another one. sue me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] csmith75:
I put my fully discharged extended battery in the external charger this morning around 10 am....it still has not turned blue yet. So if the external charger is taking over eight hours to charge it, then the USB is going to take a lot longer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
The external charger actually charges really slowly so I think they would be close time wise. What about the usb output that the external charger has. Would that be the same output as a computer?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
The reasoning behind me suggesting the USB charging method is this . Me personally I dont run my batteries down to 5% or less . Mainly from what I have heard dropping the charge that low is not good for these type of batteries . On average through out the day like during lunch I will put mine on the charger for 30 mins and it bumps me through the day more or less . With a 3500 battery I am suspecting I wouldnt even burn to 60% with my usage . Yeah I text alot and check my email and weather from time to time but my job doesnt really allow me to be on the EVO for long periods of time . With that being said if I used 40% of a 3500 battery and then charged it on the usb granted slower it would still charge to full when I plugged it in at night . Another reason i am thinking USB is , lastnight I used my Blackberry charger . Its rated at 700 , usb charging is rated at 500 . Its possible it was all in my head but it seemed like battery drain was slowed somewhat . Granted not alot but still it felt as if it was noticable . Im wondering if the trickle charging or lower charging rate in some way charges the battery better than the stock 1000 charger that came with it . Also with it taking more time to charge its less likely to hit 100% charge and shut down charging and start running off the battery . Like I said Im just brain storming and thinking of ideas , trying off the wall stuff that some might have though "nah that wouldnt work"
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
the dual charging seido wall charger doesnt seem that slow to me... i thought the usb power was 1amp?

anywho it seems to keep up with the stock cord...but when i put my 15' usb on it...it doesnt keep up as much so it seems or maybe i just think im free with a 15' charge cord and go crazy
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
From what I have been reading on the forums and have seen it several times is , charging through the usb port of a computer is throttled to 500 . From what I have seen its a safe guard to prevent someone that might not have a high power usb (2.0?) from frying the port out of a regular usb port (older gen usb ports) .
[EVO 4G Accessories] JeffR714:
Paid full price for mine to early to tell like I said before its all about getting used to no case. I bought the holster which is all they offered and I have the zagg on my screen so I'll be okay should work out fine
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
this isnt on a computer though
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
USB ports are .5 amps (500mAh). For devices demanding more (some harddrives) a "dual" cable is included to give 1 Amp.

Just for reference ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] cabrone1:
I have a blackberry charger that for some reason acts as though I am charging via usb even though I am plugged into the wall. Wonder why and if that would some how work as a fix or just slowly charge...
[EVO 4G Accessories] neoshi:
Hmm the Overstock deal looks to be back up. Here's a question. It has a link to compare with the 2700 mah ebay battery and back... and there is a rumor that the Overstock deal might actually be a ebay battery and back, even though the picture shows a Seidio... anyone receive theirs yet to verify? I took a screenshot in case we need to raise hell with Overstock.

i know it's not the right section or even appropriate at all but help is really needed.

ok first... hi,

again i know it is not appropriate and i hope that i'm not bothering Firerat.

well, i have a little problem.

i have a g1 which runs great and everything.

my fiancée saw my phone and she really got interested in it specially the market feature and she wanted one.

so i bought her a htc legend which sent her over the moon.

after starting it for the first time and after completing the setup she ran to menu looking for the market to get some games and guess what there is no market anywhere to be found and she stated crying "women" and i really don't know what to do as she refuse to root her phone or miss with it's stock status.

so i'll really appreciate it of u help me, telling me what to do. can i like acquire a market apk of any other phone and flash it through fast boot if possible or what...please help

yours

adham

p.s. i live in egypt and that's where i bought the phone "from a vodafone retail store"

This should NOT be directed at a specific user.

This is a very general question that ANYONE can answer.

The answer is this:

YOU have root access on YOUR phone, so download games or whatever from there and copy the apk off of it and install to hers.

NEBULAE ROOTED ROM BASED ON

OFFICIAL HTC WWE ÉCLAIR 2.1 (RUU)

***ONLY FOR GSM HERO***
​

Description:

This ROM is just another ROM like most others out there... Yes, I'm late in the game and it does not have much more than most ROMs but that was not the intention either. It's also not this ROM's intention to compete with any other ROMs. This is just something I did for myself (that's why you can find some unusual features) which I decided to share cause some people might like my simple and basic changes.

My work is based in two other ROMs, MoDaCo from Paul O'Brien and VillainROM from TeamVillain. I respect their work and thank them for their hard work. Some things were literally copied from their ROMs to mine, but I give credit where credit is due; if you find something that you think it was copied, that's because it probably was, but I'm not doing this to take credit for their work.

Features:

Based on Official HTC WWE Éclair 2.1 Update (RUU)

Patch for Nebulae ROM v0.1

NEBULAE ROM PATCH
​

***ONLY FOR GENERIC/DEODEX ROMS***

Description:

There were a couple of things I wanted to include in my ROM above but couldn't because of software limitations (more specifically, signatures). This patch allows that and you also have the choice to flash it or not.

This patch can probably be used on another ROMs (for the HTC Hero of course) if you like but I will not provide any support there. Just make sure the ROM is deodex or it will probably lead to unexpected results.

Features:

Removed shortcuts from Launcher:

Call History

Learn More

Phone

Search People

Settings

Setup Wizard

Removed vibration from the Calculator and Dialer apps

Fixed graphical glitches and unreadable colors in a tabbed interface

Example of original interface: image

Example of fixed interface: image

How to install:

Just flash the patch zip file like any other ROM.
