If you can't find it maybe you can order it from that store and just fax Sprint your bill of sale. I just faxed my bill of sale about an hour ago. I will call Sprint in awhile to make sure everything went smoothly. I'll update.
[EVO 4G Accessories] imakul8:
"Sprint better give me my credit" to the tune of "***** Better Have My Money".

I never got around to calling Sprint, but I got this confirmation email from them awhile ago. Thank you Sprint! That's what I call "customer satisfaction"!:D

I'm happy I ended up getting the Seidio although I liked Sprints cover better. Seidio has been tested by batteryboss at a bit over 2800mA. He has never tested Sprints, and even if it were to live up to it's 2600mA rating, I still got an extra 200mA. It was at like 74% when I installed it. I turned it off and charged it for a solid 5 hours. I got over 16 hours with constant moderate use(internet, downloading, screen constantly on, a few texts, over an hour in calls) and still had 48% left.:eek: I feel like I have been emancipated from my charger. As many have said, it doesn't look bad at all and helps to hold the phone better in landscape. Now, I just got to find a case and holster, if there are any. I'm not crazy about the Seidio Rugged.:(
[EVO 4G Accessories] locoboi187:
the extended cases suck. im all for modding the ballistic hc case to fit the extended battery, but idk how
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
I'd say give it time, Sprint will surely release a cover for it, or at least other manufacturers considering this is Sprint selling the actual batteries.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Yeah Im gonna give it a bit. I may even keep the battery as a spare or when I know Im gonna be away from a charger for a while.

The battery life increase is definitely there. Ive been playing music through my bluetooth headphones for 2 1/2 hours, played about 30 minutes of some games, browsing, 15 minute call, 30 or so texts, 10 emails, wifi on, 20 or so minutes of web browsing and market browsing and I just hit 80%. It dropped from 100%-90% pretty quick but thats expected I guess.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
I just saw this accessory on Sprint's website and did a search here (naturally).

Does it have the same issue with dropping from 100% to 90% so quickly if you leave it on when you charge it and don't do the "top off" method? That is my biggest annoyance, although I've also realized that when it hits the 80s for percentage of battery life it drains slower.

I also have a universal phone suction cup holding thing for the windshield and not sure if it will make it difficult to grip because of the added depth.
[EVO 4G Accessories] drksilenc:
you know what about getting one of there rubber cases and just cutting out a hole for the hump? i mean then its only the replaceable back cover thats gettin torn up and your screen is still protected aswell as the edges of your device
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
Well I have studio rugged and without the first case using the rubber case and the exoskeleton, it fits but it is a little lose. I think I'm going to be able to fix this with one of those cheap rubber cases by cutting the back out of it for the hump. Well that's my plan anyways so if someone beats me to a solution please post it up

Sent from my Two point 2 / Netcharchy 4.2 monster EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
I've had no issues. My battery did finally drop from 100% to 90% at around 3:00pm when taken off the charger around 8:30 PM
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
with i could buy just the cover, i think this would work well with the sedio naked holster. i do have a extended batt i got off ebay but i cant use the holster since the back cover is thick top to bottom.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
Well I got it together, its a little snug but everything went back together and fits in my studio rugged case. I used a rubber case from best buy and cut the back out of it with a box cutter
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I want the back cover for the cheap chinese 3500(2200) mah batteries. :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
I'm going to see when mine gets in if the ebay will fit on the sprint battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
Actually I meant the other way around, I want the Sprint backcover, on the cheap Chinese batteries, because the Sprint battery is pretty pricy... I mean I bought the Chinese ones for 8.50$ shipped.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pinksupervisor:
i already have a seidio 3500, but i'll be buying one of these also. it won't hurt to have two extended batteries :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
Picked mine up today. After the first full charge (with phone on) it dropped to 95-93% pretty quickly (as usual).

After turning it off and "topping off" the battery, it decreased slower. I will report back tomorrow to see how it's going. I'll be happy if this results in at least a full day's use of HEAVY usage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
That is weird, I've never had that issue on my extended. I know a few have had issues on their oem too, but it would only drop on my oem one after about an hour or two, and the extended doesn't drop until about 4 hours or so.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
I think it just might need to be conditioned. It's still sitting above 90% since I posted
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
so i went to my local sprint store... they only had one left, the display one, and had misplaced the black cover.... anyways... just curious how the phone feels in your hands now... need some feedback people. I figured i'd buy this over the powermat adapter because I am not too lazy to plug my phone in. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] JUST2SUAVE:
How is the quality?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
I honestly don't feel much of a difference. I LOVE the fact I don't have to plug it in to navigate, to leave everything I had to once shut off before just to save battery life, or to constantly avoid using my phone to its potential, or even avoid using it moderately to avoid having my battery die when I am not near a charger.

It feels nice in my hands, I cup the phone so basically my hand still has a gap between even the extended battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
Thanks for the feedback
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
The chinese ones? They last for a good while, the backcover is pretty solid, and feels nice too. Except it's shaped like a 90s brick phone. The Seido and the Sprint one are much more aesthetically pleasing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] branuga:
Extended BatT/HDMI dock

Hey I can get ahold of these if you need them they are kind of hard to keep around.
[EVO 4G Accessories] rickg82:
To me I like it better as in not so thin. I know a lot of people rather have a slime phone but I'm prone to dropping my phone. Better grip, coupled with the amazing battery life I have been getting now is a no brained for me. It does add a slightly increase in weight but that's to be expected . As far as covers go for them Sprint is due to release some that fit with the extended battery . atleast that's what a rep. told me from a corp. store.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
I like my seidio rugged / body glove combo. Which is a body glove case with the back cut out to make room for the hum them the rubber case followed by the exoskeleton. It's not a 100% perfect but I would call it a win with it as a 95% perfect fit. It doesn't look any different than it did in this case with the 1500 batter but it now has almost twice the juice and is still well protected. I bet everyone waiting for the Otterbox defender won't be able to make this happen. You do not have to use the bodyglove case but I do recommend getting a case that you can hack up to fill in the missing space around the hump that the other case filled in on the stock back. I had used a cheaper case at first but it didn't fit as well and kind of slid around under the rubber cut I had a body glove at the house in a door that I felt like was waste of money up until know. Wish I could take pictures of it, it is a great solution for providing protection to your phone if you don't have the Burger King guy little hand problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
Feels pretty solid in the hand. Definitely keeps the camera off the table when you lay it down. It was actually not as bulbous of a hump as I thought it would be. Kinda surprised me a little actually.

Has anyone seen the extended battery for the HTC Touch Pro? It's actually longer but thinner than that battery.

I've been wanting to have my phone naked for a while and getting this extended battery somewhat forced me to. But I'm not unhappy about it. I'm sitting a 79% charge remaining after 16 hours off the plug.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mr2man07:
I think if the kickstand wasn't there that they could have extended the battery lengthwise instead of making it taller. But such is the pay off, I love my kickstand.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
Has anyone tried to contact batteryboss to test this one? I believe they will do it if someone send it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Just got my battery credited from Sprint. Basically told them having to pay 55 bucks to get a days worth of use out of my phone wasnt very appealing. After being put on hold and refusing to deal with HTC direct they credited the 54.99 to my account. Give it a try if you like and remember, kindness goes a LONG way.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Noxious Ninja:
Did you go to retentions? Or was this just a normal rep?
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
I had an issue with my seidio 1750 extended battery, it would cause my phone to randomly reboot or just cut off during use. I thought I had downloaded a bad Rom or kernel but it took me a week before I put the stock battery back in and all was well. The seidio worked perfectly for months, I hope this isn't the case with this battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] 00mred00:
Couldn't be happier with this battery. After a few ebay purchases resulted in non shipment or non working items I was perfectly comfortable with buying this from sprint.

First charge went just over 16 hours with HEAVY usage (9 hours of internet pandora text angry birds you name it) . Conditioned the battery last night and tweaked some settings in setpcu and I am loosing NO battery for hours w/screen off.

I have a crystal dremeled clear plastic case off ebay ($2 takes 3 weeks to get here from overseas) and it fits in my best buy holster.. I tried an HTC rubber cover and it kinda sorta fits...but I don't like those covers at all.

I don't have a pic of my hack job on the crystal case yet but will try and remember to post it

btw...pick up 2 accessories and save 25%. I got the new HDMI cradle and the battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] photocycle:
Yeah I'm interested in this as well. Maybe we should come up with a script for people to say when they call sprint. :)

I might give it a try tonight as I just got my EVO 2 weeks ago.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JUST2SUAVE:
Non shipment? Wow
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Standard sales rep. Didnt even call about the battery but the conversation went there after my initial question was answered.
[EVO 4G Accessories] photocycle:
If you don't mind me asking, did the conversation include you saying something negative about the stock battery then the rep suggesting the new extended battery? Or did you bring up the fact that you're aware of the new extended battery and you feel you deserve it because the stock one isn't usable?

Little more details? :D

I'm going to call myself soon and see if I can get the credit for the new batteries. (I bought two EVO's from sprint just 2 weeks ago so I'm hoping I can make a good case)

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Heres the whole scoop, may be long but maybe itll help. I called to see if i could skip the mail in rebate on my wifes new phone like i have before. While looking up the transaction the rep asked how i liked the extended battery i bought that same night. I said its nice to have one that can last a whole day but im debating returning it for a few reasons. The fact that i shouldnt have to pay 55 dollars to get a battery that i dont need to worry about charging multiple times a day. That theres no cases that fit it and the money i spent on my stock size cases is wasted. Lastly that Im worried about damaging my phone with no protection on it. She asked how long i was getting on the stock battery and I said "if i use my phone the way its intended, 6 hours". She said that was really low and asked if ive done the proper steps to make sure nothing was running to drain my battery. I told her yeah ive spent a ton of time making sure im set up for the beast battery life i can get. She told me i could contact htc for a new battery and i explained htc is a nightmare to deal with. She said i could return the phone to best buy for a new one but i td her we were sold out. She placed me on hold and came back saying, youve been a long time customer with us and we appreciate that so how about we credit the cost of the battery so you can enjoy the phone like youd expect to. I gladly accepted and thanked her.

I didnt call trying to get a free battery but when the conversation arose i damn sure took full advantage of it.

Sent from me using my keyboard
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
I think she was attracted to your voice
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
^^^^Roflol^^^^
[EVO 4G Accessories] photocycle:
Hmmmmm interesting... just debating on how I should approach it... if I should be straight to the point about what I want (2 free extended batteries), or if I should beat around the bush. hehe... whatever it is, I'll post my results. Really don't feel like dropping over $100 on extended batteries so let's see what sprint says first.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
I would say to make this work, you either own one and because of other problem you talk about it too or u have been on the store a couple of time with battery problems. There is no way they will refund money because the original one is s#!£¥. Like he did one conversation follow the other.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
lmao, Not gonna lie I do have a habit of being very "kind" when dealing with customer service people to get what I want. My wife gives me **** constantly for it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
I squeezed out 43 hours of battery without a charge on the first full charge/use cycle with 4% left to spare. Of course I have been a little bit busier than lately and haven't used my phone as much as I normally would, but I'm just glad I can go over 36 hours without needing to plug it in. Almost can last a whole weekend if you don't mess with your phone that much.

I did "top off" the battery a couple times, but not for too long. I will top the hell off of it today though and see if it changes anything.
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
i bought the battery thanks to pekosROB. I am not really trying to get 48 hours out of my phone, but I am happy with my results so far. Initially it was draining quickly. I thought I had bought a defective battery, and then realized that my phone wasn't sleeping. Once I straightened that out, I turned on wifi/gps/4g and didn't bother turning them off all day. I was able to get 11 hours before it died with constant heavy use. I am more than happy with that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
I was just about to ask how long it lasts with 4G since I don't have any 4G in my area. Was it only lasting 4-6 hours on 4G with heavy use with the original battery? Damn!
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
i left 4g on... but it was scanning most of the time... i wasn't in Boston or Providece... i go to school in the boondocks so no 4g... so most of that time it was scanning... with the regular battery i'd probably squeeze four hours under these conditions
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
Here is how I am doing so far since this morning... I guess I am not returning this battery... :cool::D
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpezXVII:
I managed to get Sprint to credit me the cost for one of these. I've been testing the battery and initially it drained FAST. After the first full charge however, it drained at a normal pace to roughly 95% where it stabilized. After 15 hours of moderate-heavy use, I'm currently at 80%. (This is on 2.2 stock. With WiFi, GPS, Mobile data always on, etc. all running.)

As for the size, I thought it would annoy me more than it actually does. It looks decent after you get used to it and feels good in the hand. I say it is worth the buy and especially worth it if you manage to get one credited to you.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
I want one so bad. I ask a sale representative about cases & she told me, once the sale are set; then we could be looking for the case. Now my question is.. what more sprint wants to see when this batteries are out of stock in most of the stores already with in a week without adds?
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
Did you buy it and then requested credit?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpezXVII:
No, I spoke to customer service about it. I said that I didn't feel like I should have to pay to use the phone as it is intended. I was very nice which usually works better for me when compared to acting like an asshole. They applied the credit to my account no problem and all I had to do was go to my nearest store to pick it up.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
Nice. I'll give it a try.
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
so I just tried this online, web chat. I talked to a rep and explained to him that I didn't feel right paying $50 extra in order to use my phone as it was intended to be used. The rep asked where I'd bought the battery from, and if I had charged it to my account. I hadn't charged it to my account. Oh well... moving on... he told me that if I sent them a copy of my receipt they'd credit my account!!! :D Only a $20 credit, but I am happy with that. I wasn't expecting it to work, so anything off what I paid is a win. Thanks for the idea.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
^^^^ AND I tried chat this morning and she told me to call customer service because she couldn't do anything by the chat room :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
Like i said, I wasn't expecting it to work. A $20 credit made my day. Full credit would've been nicer, but I'll take what I can
[EVO 4G Accessories] sw99:
Just wanted to let folks know. You can save almost $11 off the price of the battery if you are a premier customer. Premier customers get 25% if you purchase 2 accessories. I ordered the battery and the Palm Pixi "Protective Leather Sleeve" which is on sale for $3.99.

My total before tax was $44.24, and I asked them to waive the shipping costs and they did.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
add me to the list of people who got a free one...

copy of the chat via sprint.com:
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
YOU BASTARD!!! LOL, happy for you... they only discounted $20 for me, but that is better than nothing. lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
lol, I personally think its all in the luck of the draw really...

now ive gotta wait for my 5$ body glove case from ebay to get here, then for my replacement seidio rugged... then ill do a little bit of cutting to make it all fit together WITH the extended battery inside :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] napsterdj:
Please upload the pictures when you are done :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] accelerus:
Got myself a free one too -- talked to the internet chat reps... they credited 60 bucks back to my sprint account.

3:12:08 PM : Tabitha G.: Hi.

3:12:20 PM : Jeff JOhnson: hi there --- one sec while I type my question/issue

3:12:33 PM : Tabitha G.: Sure.

3:12:47 PM : Jeff JOhnson: Hi, I bought an evo when it came out (came from ATT) love the phone, and have been very happy with sprint. I saw you had an extended battery so I picked it up yesterday from my local sprint store. (Charged on my acct) The issue I'm sort of having is why am I having to pay 60 dollars just to get a whole day's battery life out of my phone. I'm not trying to be super negative here, but before the battery my phone might last 5 or 6 hours.

3:13:27 PM : Jeff JOhnson: now I can get a whole days business done with my phone... but just curious why I had to fork over an extra 60 bucks just to last a single day?

3:14:03 PM : Tabitha G.: Thank you for providing the additional details. Please give me a moment while I research that for you.

3:14:09 PM : Jeff JOhnson: thank you

3:16:29 PM : Tabitha G.: Thank you for your patience.

3:16:36 PM : Jeff JOhnson: no problemo :)

3:19:05 PM : Tabitha G.: Thank you for waiting.

3:19:10 PM : Tabitha G.: Ok.

3:20:35 PM : Tabitha G.: Purchase the battery and as one time we will apply the credit on the account against the battery charges.

3:21:09 PM : Jeff JOhnson: oh really? cool? yeah I bought the battery on my sprint account, so that should make it easier right?

3:21:30 PM : Tabitha G.: Yes.

3:21:59 PM : Jeff JOhnson: oh okay - so is there anything special I need to do? i still have my receipts and stuff if needed.

3:23:06 PM : Tabitha G.: Let me see what I can do for you.

3:23:33 PM : Jeff JOhnson: thank you!

3:24:21 PM : Tabitha G.: Considering your words, I have applied credit of $60.00 on your account. The updated balance due on your account is $-60.00

3:24:43 PM : Jeff JOhnson: alrighty - wow that is much apprecieated!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tower1972:
Bah I only got 20 which is better then nothing.. Everytime in the past I contact support via webchat I get the damn outsourced help from India..It took me 10 min to explain my problem..Same problem just had to word it differently for 10 min until he got it. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
I believe I was the first to figure out a casing option, that is until seidio releases the rugged extended. For anyone that tries my way with the standard rugged and a modified case to fill up the slack in the rubber, let us know how it works for you as well take some pictures because it doesn't add anymore thickness to the design like the fix with the rugged extended.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
So after over a week on this battery i only have one issue besides not having a proper case. I cannot get this battery to not drop to the 80% range minutes after ccoming off the charger. Ive charged from dead zero while powered off, used usb, wall chargers, car chargers. I just pulled it from a 4 hour usb charge while powered off and 11 minutes later im at 84%. I knowitll level out and last forever but my OCD is getting the best of me here. Imma dump it back on the charger for a bit but damn this fruastrates me. Btw i took it off the charger within 5 seconds of the light going green.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
What I do in order to get it to reach its greatest charge is to charge it until the light goes off, I turn it off then charge it for 30 min to an hour with the light turning green then I unplug then reply it in. This nets me the best charge. I have been off the charger for 15 hrs and am only down to 88 percent with 8 hrs of me sleeping and average use, 2 five minute phone calls, some Facebook, and checking my emails. Not bad as far as I'm concerned, I have gotten 48hrs out this battery of charger with average useage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Well after i posted i dropped to 73% in 10 more minutes so i tried something i saw on here. Charged on the wall charger with the screen always on. Got up at 7 and removed it turning the screen timeout back on. Dropped to 97 right away and topped it off again. Been off the charger since 7:30 and at 80% with some pretty good use. Texting, calls, itunes remote and wifi running, orb for an hour. Not to shabby but we'll see if the screen on trick works tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
That's what I did for my Seido. No pictures unfortunately. I used one of the newer rubber ones (I forgot what they're called, it has glossy sides and a rubber-matte back).

Now the big question, did they ever fix the charge issue? Or do you still have to charge this one with the phone off to get the full juice?
[EVO 4G Accessories] aeo 37:
It looks great that you guy are haviing such great battery life now with this battery. Now I am convinced on getting one of these.

My only question is why do you guys get these over the Seido 3500mah?

It seems to me like the seido would be a better bang for buck as it is around $54 before shipping. Thanks for the help
