Lots of info on the ebay batteries all around. I have the 3000mah and love it. I can finally go all day without charging my phone. I dont even have to think about my battery any more because no matter what it wont be dead before I'm going to bed at night. It would be nearing dead before around lunch time sometimes.

From what I have read though, is that all of these ebay batteries are just 2600mah batteries with different stickers on them....Either way, it last me longer than what I need it to, so I am very happy with it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bitbang3r:
Do the 2700, 3000, 3200, and 3500mAH batteries on eBay all seem to come with the same rear cover and make the Evo equally thick, or are the smaller batteries a little bit thinner than the largest ones and sold with slightly lower-profile covers?
[EVO 4G Accessories] phatmanxxl:
Is there a way to buy these for that price without ebay? I got banned over $10. I looked around the cheapest I could find was $50.

This is what the MAH seems around, on ebay this would prob be 10 bucks but since you got banned this was the cheapest i found. I wonder if anyone has tried using these back covers with the seidio battery. I bought the 3500mah ebay battery they just have a higher mah sticker on them but i will post results after 5 or 6 full discharge cycles.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
So far, there are two extended battery backs: the Seidio and the "Chinese". I've not seen any others.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phatmanxxl:
I saw those on Amazon, they have a couple of 3500's for 40+shipping. Ill probably just pick up one of those. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
With the battery conditioned 3 times so far, I am at 72% as we speak. I have been using moderate use with 3g enabled synce full volume and medium brightness. I have been surfing the web and I have sent out about 50 texts. Made around 5 3 minutes calls. These battery's seem to be worth the money if you don't want to spend 60 dollars. I have 2 of these batteries and 1 of them is really good and the other one is so so. The good one is the one I am using now, I am guessing it is around 2100-2500mah not close to seido bat a LOT cheaper with a better back cover. I will post pics when this thing actually dies. I am at 5 hours of awake time and 18 hours of uptime with 18 hours since unplugged. I am also overclocked to 1.2ghz with a live wallpaper running the whole time :D. I got mine off ebay from feitong2009. Sorry for the wall of text, I just like to help people out a little.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phatmanxxl:
Yea I need one cause I stream radio over 3g alot at work, I get about 3-4 hours on a charge. If I could get at least 8 or more with a fat batt, I'll be happy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jigglywiggly:
I believe they are only rated at around 2200mah...

I have one, it's alright, I don't use it... makes the phone too far for what it's worth.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
Here is the battery life at the end of the day. I turned on the phone before I went to bed and put it into airplane mode. When I woke up I did moderate use through the whole day. Good enough for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
The ones from feitong are legit. Ice had mine for about a month and a half and I'm getting about 12-18 hrs on medium to heavy usage
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rambler358:
Yeah, I ordered one. For $10 - why not? :) I'll post back my thoughts after I receive and try it out for a bit.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
For those who can't but on ebay, gorillagadget has them for $20 and obostore.com has the Yooboa(sp?) 3500mah battery with ebay back for $30. Yooboa is a well known chinese battery brand.

Swyped from my supercharged Evo!
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
I wonder how the Yoobao stacks up to the seidio. Prob the same as the 10 dollar battery's.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
I imagine it is slightly better than the ebay batteries yet still slightly under the Seidio. There is a very small difference in between them all though. All of these batteries should be within $10 of each other. Its just crazy that the Seidio is so much when it just barely out last the ebay batteries....
[EVO 4G Accessories] BrentnNC:
I have the yoobao battery with the external charger from the obostore. I get 2 days of moderate to heavy use. The most i have got was 83 hours from light to moderate use. I'm running Freshes rom. Theirs a big difference in the battery life if you use the external charger.
[EVO 4G Accessories] frankpreyes:
I got a 3000 mah battery and cover from ebay (shoppinghome99) for 11.79. The cover fits great and my battery life is really good. The cover fits well in the Seidio car dock. The cover is a matte type of cover and I think it looks better than the Seidio cover. I thought I would notice the extra thickness, but I ready like the battery and cover. This one works best if you cycle the phone off when charging. I'm running Fresh 3.3.0.1. And Kings Kernal 6.0 BFS. I'm also running a PRL 1 as I was getting poor cell reception at work. I get 9 to 12 hours now with 60% charge left. This time drops considerably if I charge with USB or with the phone cycled on. I also overclock and use setcpu, juice defender and guard dog. I have learned a lot from these forums.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
I just bought the yoobao 3000mah battery. I will post back once I get it with results. I got it with the belt clip case combo 35 bucks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dresters:
I'm glad I checked out thus forum. I was about to pay 60 for the siedio batt. I can live with an eBay battery. I hear wait a few charge cycles to kick in?

sent from ny iph.. jk HTC evo!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
Just drain it and then charge it completely full on a external charger. Remember these batteries are prob around 2200mah. So for 10 bucks its a great deal. :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rambler358:
Could someone provide a link for an external charger? I searched on ebay and couldn't find one that would charge the existing battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-travel-...336057?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35ac05ec79

You can always go with a cheapo or go buy seidios. It's your choice.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rambler358:
Perfect, thanks! :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
Just got the Yoobao battery.It seems the same thickness as the cheap eBay ones. It does feel heavier and it is lithium ion polymer compared to them. The back cover that comes with the cheap eBay batteries is the same also. I will full discharge 2 times and then do 4-6 runs and post results comparing the non name brand batteries. I now have 4x stock batteries and 3x eBay batteries. Hopefully the Yoobao battery will be a little bit better.:o Sorry for it being blurry but its dark in my room so the camera wouldn't focus correctly.

Edit: The battery temp sensor works. Unlike the cheaper eBay batteries. that's a +

Edit: 10-18 it has been charging for more then 9 hours from a complete discharge. charging at 350-400mah. charger wont say if 100% charged with only yoobao battery. buying yoobao charger.

Edit:10-20 Charger seems ok. Hard to put evo batteries in it. I have to send back the Yoobao extended battery, it seems defective it wont charge past a % and drains really quick like its only 500mah. This really made me angry. Edit (again) The seller is sending me a new battery :)

Edit:10-28 I received a new battery a few days ago. Just going through the discharge cycles etc stopping at 15%. The seller is was very nice about the bad battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nize2beme:
just got my chinese 3500 today, hated the cover, did grab on the left side. I have a gel case though for the evo, so I put the battery in w/o a back cover and threw the gel around the outside, fit's well, holds the battery in place, and minimal bulge overall from the phone, gonna try this for a few days. shipping took 2 weeks :( from hong kong. case is the same as one shown here by everyone, but the batery i think is a little different.
[EVO 4G Accessories] v_lestat:
yup same one i got too.

as for the cover, just take a little sand paper or emry board and sand the corners down so it fits better if yours doesnt fit 100% perfect.

as for the battery, its def. NOT 3500mAH, its more like 2700-ish.

word of advise go back to the same seller or a different one, which ever and buy the wall outlet battery charger.

dont ever charge these off the standard htc wall charger. it puts out a full 1a @5v and this is too much, frankly its too much for the stock battery and you will never get a good charge or a full charge either.

these batteries dont charge right unless they are given a trickle charge and a wall charger where you slide the battery into the charger gives a nice slow trickle charge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nize2beme:
would the USB charge be ok? I noticed when I plugged it in just now to the wall it reads that it is being charged by a USB in spare parts which I thought was odd
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
Sadly our 500 dollar phone cant charge any battery that is not stock correctly :(. I would try to charge the batteries externally. If you have 2 its not a problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fast2049:
This is with the Yoobao battery. I am running fresh 3.4 4.1.9.1 cfs havs with 1.2ghz OC. Auto Brightness. I was streaming pandora radio a lot. I would say this battery is around 2400-2700mah the cheaper ebay ones are around 2000-2200 and the seidio 2800-3000. You get what you pay for. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Yeah this has been talked about quite a few times, along with many comparisons. Summary: The 2000, 2200, 2600, 2800, 3000, and 3500mAh are all the same 2200mAh battery. The 1500, 1750, and 1800mAh are all the same as stock, just over 1450mAh. Aside from stock I currently have 2-ebay 1500mAh, 1-ebay 3000mAh, 1-ebay 3500mAh, and 1-Seidio 3500mAh. Here are some of the comparison pics for size reference that I had taken.

Stock>Ebay>Seidio
[EVO 4G Accessories] barry.bishop72:
Just out of wondering, I got a cheapie 3500mAh on ebay, will I still be able to fit that into the otterbox case I have?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I do not have an otterbox case personally, but I do not believe that it will. Your battery is almost double the thickness of the stock battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] barry.bishop72:
I just did a battery search on ebay (actually it was for my hero, but same one) and got two 1500 mAh batteries, and the charger for $10. It came from Hong Kong, and took like 3 weeks. I don't know how long they'll last, but I'll def. get $10 out of it if not just for the charger.
[EVO 4G Accessories] barry.bishop72:
ya that's what I figured, sucks...anybody wanna buy a $10 3500 mAh battery from Hong Kong? :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Also, someone asked earlier if the back battery cover of the extended ebay battery will work with the Seidio battery and it will, but there is a small gap (about the thickness of a penny) around the bottom of the cover where the kickstand is.

Fix: Boil a pan of water, place the cover in it for about 10mins, dab dry, then install the ebay battery cover on the phone with the Seidio 3500mAh battery, and hold the edges down as it cools. And the ebay extended battery cover will not work with the Seidio Innotraveler Car Kit.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Does yours look like the picture I attached? The batteries in the picture I attached are the same as stock..and my wall charger still works fine. :) Definately worth the money. Yes, I have batteries running out of my ears. lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] barry.bishop72:
yup, that's it, the pink looking bar turns blue when the battery is charged.
[EVO 4G Accessories] barry.bishop72:
wow, you're like a HTC magician!
[Epic 4G Accessories] Envynet:
Check out the seidio website ill be getting one of those. Was looking for a case that covers the volume rocker and etc.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
I'm definitely interested in this case, but after previously dealing with Seidio, I'm not sure if its gonna be worth it!

If the clips are designed differently from the Innocase, I might consider one, but if they are the same, I will wait for OtterBox to make something nice.
[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
Wow, that actually looks pretty good, and they sell the case/belt clip combo for 49.99. Look at the picture of the area of the case that goes near the microphone, it looks really ill-cut..hopefully it will be more refined when they are released!
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
yep, i have it in my seidio wish list cart, and have even emailed them to hurry up last week. Looks like the best case i can find. Although if otterbox decides to make one, i might regret this purchase. But otterbox doesnt make many cases for sliders. Hopefully this one.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Envynet:
Otter will release a case for this phone I would imagine they did for the moment.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
This is not true! Otterbox makes many sliding phone cases, including cases for the Droid, Droid 2, Palm Pre, Samsung Moment, etc. :) They make the Commuter case, which is more or less like the Seidio Active case.

But people, I recommend waiting until Amazon has the Active cases in stock.

I bought the Seidio Innocase for $29.99 from Seidio, and a week later, Amazon had the exact same case for $23 with FREE 2 day shipping. :\
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
i meant in comparison to seidio, they make fewer slider cases. Sedio does almost any phone, otterbox... just the hot ones.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Turkeybird:
Seidio Innocase Rugged

I received a survey from Seidio developers yesterday asking me if I would be interested in buying an Innocase Rugged even if they weren't able to make it fit with the sliding keyboard feature. I responded saying that the Sprint Epic 4g was the only phone in the Galaxy S line in this country that had a keyboard and that it is one of the main reasons anyone would buy a Galaxy S phone from Sprint versus any other carrier. I recommended that if they can't build it so that we're able to open our sliding keyboard then they should just focus on making a huge extended battery for us instead :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] SladeNoctis:
The only issue i have is that they need to make good tabs especially for the bezel. When i first got the official sprint case with the grip on the back i loved it but the tabs broke the second time i took it off. I recently got a replacement and the tabs are perfect. The only issue i have with all these cases is that the bezel is always some plastic round crap. I have a great idea that would help out for a rugged seidio case and prevents the thick bezel to influence the keyboard. If you just look at the cases available for epic and think really hard you can get a game changer for slider phone case. But companies stay generic so eeehhhh.

[Epic 4G Accessories] redandblack1287:
I don't know if anyone has seen this, but the active x case is now available in black only.
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimaim:
Good to know! What's the difference between this and the Innocase? Is this more durable?
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
The Active cases are similar to the Otterbox Commuter or Casemate Tough.

A rubber skin with plastic shell outside. I'm considering the blue active once they show up on amazon.

I'm wary of Seidios quality though because the active case my friend got for her Evo has been shedding since she got it. The active case plastic shell seems to break easily at the corner apparently also.

posted from a EPIC4G.
[Epic 4G Accessories] redandblack1287:
Yeah between the Evo innocases damaging the phone, and the Epic innocases not fitting properly, I'm expecting to be unpleasantly surprised =\

BUT that's why Amazon is the best, its so easy to return stuff =]

I have an unrooted slide that two days ago turned off all of a sudden and when I turned it back on it wouldn't boot past the my touch screen and it is stuck that way.. I guess this is what I get for NOT rooting my device and thus not being able to flash a new rom, but I'm wondering if there is any other option I have to try and re flash the phone, or load up something from the bootloader.. the bootloader is the only part of the phone I can access.. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I have to do a swap for a new one.. oh and I did try the reset from bootloader, a few times.. no help..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayzie:
42 posts later and you still don't know to ask questions in the Q&A board?

Boot in the stock hardware's recovery by holding VolumeDown + Power when you boot up your phone. You can probably root your phone from there, but I honestly forgot the procedures because I had to try different methods until it actually worked.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
I'd just take it to T-Mobile. If you're not rooted, they'll just replace it for free. Why bother trying to root it, which you could screw up, if something is already wrong with the phone? What if you mess up the rooting process, and then REALLY can't get a replacement?

Unrooted Mytouch 3G Slide Stuck on Splash Screen

Good Day everybody, I'm not living in the us currently and i'm having the same problem as the guy mentioned above. I previously owned this mytouch 3g slide, never rooted. Gave to my GF and it seems that either she's messed this phone up, or it just self destructed from improper use of the android os.. My problem is i just have this phone laying here, I'm from the bahamas so the t mobile option is well.. not an option. Is there anyway I can get this phone backup and running? I try HBOOT, seems to be the only thing working, when i clear storage, it shuts off completely and when i try recovery it reboots and is stuck at the splash screen all over again. I'd appreciate anyones help on this matter.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin lamantia:

[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I flashed j15 thru odin and all seemed to go well. I had all my apps including Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. When I rooted with one click root it just failed to copy the needed file to the sd card. Tried many times. I then tried the install the update.zip to sd card (internal that is) and it seemed to work as I had Su however when I attempted to run Su it just kept foreclosing and still is. I tried to reinstall and it went the same way. I still have all my apps but Titanium and Rom manager are useless as there seems to be not root even though su appears to be installled. I have not the foggiest notion of how to proceed and I would greatly appreciate any and all help and would be willing to pay someone for personal( phone or email) instruction or help. I am very new to all of this and I am trying to learn as fast as possible but at times it feels like I am a deer staring into head lights. Perhaps there is not a root available for J15, I don't know. I had just rooted 3 weeks prior and now I do not know how I got along without it before. I have read many other threads but none seem to address my situation.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fentonmatt:
I have the Motorola Droid currently running the latest version of Froyo and I am really interested in rooting it. But, unfortunately I have the latest Froyo and I can't root that. Does anybody know how/if I could downgrade the software to the original Froyo release os even 2.1? I have a Mac running Parallels so I'll take PC or Mac suggestions. Please be specific if you wanna help me. I'm new to all of this. Thanks in advance! :D

This release is brought to you my Decad3nce, beezy420 and myself.

This is a port of the HTC Wildfire Froyo test leak that has about 80% to 85% functionality so PLEASE realize this won’t be your daily driver at this point but it is a proof of concept that you can run and checkout the new functions.

Please remember that this is a proof of concept as this was a Chinese leak that we are working with what is really needed is the wwe release that the wildfire has this will have things like our social networks and Google rather then the Chinese equivalent
