I would be interested for one to stick on the back of my phone. I have an Otterbox Commuter case, so it's pretty bland by itself. Of course, I'd probably buy 3 or more so I have replacements for when one wore out. I might stick one on my car as well...

it is an official logo but can be distributed as "free" but with a donation. basically selling it without officially selling it. nice little loop hole. =]

[G Tablet General] domdoran:
I'm running TnTlite 4.1. I can't seem to keep my GTablet running for more than a couple of days before something goes wrong and it becomes unusable. Whether it's acore errors, ADW launcher crashing and requiring constant reboots, or now the newest inability to download from the market, it always seems to be something. The advice for most of the problems is to just re-install TnTLite, or whatever rom you're using. Do people view this as a reasonable solution to every problem, where you're constantly just waiting for the next time the thing breaks again?

Anyway, I am now completely unable to download anything from the Market. Everything says the download failed. I see the issue popping up on other devices, and workarounds to fix which involve clearing cache on the Market and several other Apps (some of which I don't have), but this isn't working for me. Has anyone else come across this issue? How did you fix it? I'm about at wits end with this tablet. I've spent way more time attempting to make this thing usable than I have actually using it.

Like the title says, just wondering what the highest capacity battery is that doesn't require you to extend the size of the phone by replacing the battery cover.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
Ebays 2000mah.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
Thanks! Any links/model numbers I should look for?

Also do these batteries have to be wall charged like some I've heard of?
[EVO 4G Accessories] xHausx:
Check out http://batteryboss.org/. There are some 2000mAhs out there that are actually 1100s.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
These are the batteries that I use. I have a few, and I have bought them for my friends. I have found them to be the best battery that fits under the stock door. They do last a fair amount longer than the stock batteries.

[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
I'm glad to hear that. I just ordered those yesterday. I wasn't too sure about getting those Chinese batteries, but I figured I couldn't really go wrong at 16 bucks for 2 batteries and an external charger.

[EVO 4G Accessories] nomadicthoughts:
So if it comes with a quick charger, does that mean the battery shouldn't be charged while inside the phone or is it just a convenience thing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
It's much more convenient to use that charger, and plus it FULLY charges the battery. I never plug my phone in, I just swap fully charged batteries every morning.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nabbed:
Somehow when I see a $16 price tag for 2x2000Mah batteries + charger, a mental image of an exploded shrapnel piercing a Chinese man's carotid artery comes to mind.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Somehow when I see a $70 dollar price tag for a battery i see a greedy little monopoly man wiping his ass with $100 bills. Batteries are dirt cheap to manufacture, we only pay exorbitant amounts for them because Americans are stupid. Same reason why companies like Monster Cable are still in business. "If it costs more it MUST be better!"
[EVO 4G Accessories] Just_s:
Exactly!!! We Americans are so dramatic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
How long did it take to receive the batteries? The expected date of 3 weeks makes me not want to order it lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
Guessing this is the same battery only in a one pack?

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2000mAh-Hig...244414?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa810aa7e
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
They usually come in about two weeks, give or take a couple days.

Yep. If you don't already have a wall charger I recommend getting the set I linked. That charger is key.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jigglywiggly:
The stock battery as far as I'm aware of is the best battery for the size. All those higher rated ones, are liez.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
the best battery that doesn't require you to change the cover is the stock red oem battery the phone comes with. check batteryboss.org for proof. if you could get more juice out of the same size htc would of done that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
Why's that?
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigdaddie:
I have 2 of the ebay batteries. Seem to last just fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Sorry to say, but you're wrong. The galilio batteries that I linked last noticeably longer than the stock red batteries. I have 2 of the stock ones and I don't use them at all because the galilios are better. Check this thread out, dude tested them and the 1800mah ones from galilio tested higher capacity than the oem batteries, over 100mah more. Sure they aren't true 1800 and the 2000s arent true 2000 but who cares? They are dirt cheap and DO perform better than the stock battery.

Because, you can keep a charged spare. Plus as I said before, the dock chargers fully charge the battery so you don't have to deal with the EVOs finicky charging method.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
I just ordered mine as well. If I can get through the day with medium to heavy use on these I will be happy. I love my extended battery would would really rather have a case on my phone

[EVO 4G Accessories] coiledwire:
Has anyone read the back of the charger that comes with the 2x 2000mAh batteries? It says the output is 350 +/- 50mA at 4.2V, 800mA from USB (?). Does anyone have an external battery charger that can verify these are the same values.

I ask because our phone chargers are 1A at 5V.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
Nothing wrong there, that just means it charges at a lower current so it will take longer to charge. This can actually be a good thing. Charging at a lower current rate generates less heat which can increase the overall life of the battery.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
[EVO 4G Accessories] coiledwire:
Agreed. Just found it strange that USB is 800mA. I thought it might of been a typo or something on my charger.

I guess I'm more critical with stuff like this from China. When I opened the shipping bag, I found 2 loose batteries like they were just thrown in there with the instruction manual. At least the charger came wrapped in a plastic bag....

When I get these charged up I'll test them, which should be in another few days or so. :rolleyes: (its fun bagging on these cheap Chinese batteries)
[EVO 4G Accessories] MonnieRock:
Strange

When I first got the batteries in the mail, I put one of the batteries out of the package into the charger. The blue colored light was on, and it stayed on for about 4 hours. I took the battery out and used a digital multimeter. The battery is showing 3.879 volts DC. :confused:

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Monnie
[EVO 4G Accessories] ro_bro:
I see some bad feedback on those Gallilio batteries. One user reports that it's actually more like 1400 each, not 2000mAh

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...erval=30&which=negative&_trkparms=Negative_11
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Did you buy the Galilios? they shouldn't have been loose in the package. Every one that I have ordered came individually packaged on a blister card.

Then don't buy them. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] dkd711:
Yeah leave it in til it's fully charged. Its a slow charger. And the Gallilio batts are about 1400 mah cuz they last a bit less than stock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] coiledwire:
Yep, I ordered the Galilios. I was expecting the blister packs also. That's why I was like wtf when I saw them loose in the shipping envelope. I thought to myself that's what you get from ordering Chinese goods on ebay; I'm not going to even begin to try to return them.

So, good or bad, I have 2 of these galilios batteries and 1 really slow charger.

From my EVO when I should probably be doing something else instead.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nyroshan:
How slow is this charger? I put one of the batteries in for the first charge on the wall charger, and even after 10 hours, the charger still had the half blue light on. I didn't know if the light was just being retarded, but putting the battery in the phone, it only showed 62% charged. 10 hours of charging, and 62%....
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
one of mine came sealed, another seller sent me 2 unsealed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
the wall charger sometimes takes a very long time to charge, other times it doesnt. who knows.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
I would probably avoid buying from that seller. Mine came individually packaged as well

For some reason the wall charger doesn't work. I put the wall charger on the outlet along with the galilio battery & the light remained blue. Just put it back on the phone and it showed 5%. Is that normal?

So at the moment I m using the Evo to charge them.

Just wondering but do u guys turn ur phone off before taking the battery out? I have to change my batteries twice a day is it bad to just take them out without turning it off?
[EVO 4G Accessories] xfullmetal17:
To be on the safe side I'd power-down the phone before swapping batteries. Honestly, not doing so to me would be like yanking the plug out of your PC while it's running. Only should be done if it's being completely unresponsive or is frozen.

As for those batteries... Looks like the charger does the same thing as an SBC kernel would without risking frying the internals of your phone! Sign me up!
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
in my experience it does not, and i have 3 of those chargers. still drops 10% quickly, where sbc does not.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bees2001:
thanks for the heads up.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanik1:
I was going to ask the same question on these wall charger. I received mines last friday and I tried to charge the batteries but im not sure how they work. the blue light stays on with or without the battery attached. So i wouldnt know when it was done or when it was charging. So i let one stay on over night and plugged it in my phone and only saw 60% as well. I think the battery came precharged. But so i decided while i have the new battery in my phone i started to charge my oem battery on the wall charger. And after another overnight charge I got nothing the battery is at 0%. shuts off right after it comes on. And i thought the same thing with the half lite blue light. I open the charger and there is only one led in there so it just looks like its half because the light is in that corner. So honestly I dont think the charger is working. but for some reason the usb port charges if using a cable. But does anyone have like a multimeter to check current on the 2 pins that charge the phone is correct. Oh and i also had that burning smell the first 10 mins of charging. I think it was burning excess moisture on the board while being shipped here in this weather.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Someone that I had recommended the batteries to on facebook is having the same problem with her charger, light is blue no matter what and it won't charge the battery but the USB port does work. It's looking like the seller got a bad batch of chargers (assuming everybody got them from the link I provided). I would just contact the seller and let him know what's going on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanik1:
yea bad batch thats what i thought as well. because it was the same thing with my friends charger and we both bought it from the same seller. But i did let them know that i was having problem with the charger and they are shipping me out a new one and hopefully in 2 weeks I can start charging my batteries without my phone. but still would like to know what the voltage reading should be from those 2 pins on the charger should be.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I'll grab my multimeter next time I go out for a smoke and test it for you.

edit: 4.17 volts.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanik1:
man im not getting anything around there more like 1 or lower

but thanks though
[EVO 4G Accessories] SirSigma:
After a month of waiting, I got my Galilio battery all packaged nicely from Hong Kong. I found it was already around 60% charged earlier, so I fully charged it and decided to try and condition the battery by putting it through full cycles like their little instruction book recommended.

After I was fully charged, I unplugged it, raised the brightness to the max, set the display to stay on until idle for 30 minutes, turned on my most resource intensive live wallpaper, and played some FLAC music all at once. After about 3 hours, I finally drained the battery just a moment ago and now I'm charging it again.

I think this battery is pretty impressive so far.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
what's the point of testing the battery like that? is that how you usually use your phone?
[EVO 4G Accessories] coiledwire:
I may be wrong, but I think he was just trying to drain the battery as fast as possible. The manual did say to preform several 100% to 0% cycles to "condition" the battery.

I'm also looking to get a few higher capacity batteries... but this "instruction" from the manual sorta worries me - aren't these lithium-ion batteries? I thought that they do not have memory and it is BAD to fully discharge them?

See article from Ars Technica titled "What is the best way to use a Li-ion battery?" (can't post link yet, but you can just go to arstechnica and look under the 'Ask Ars' section - it's an interesting read)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Maddball:
Well i received my Galilio 2000mah batteries the other day. The jury is still out im doing the cycling process now. I will say this the charger IS NOT a fast charger like the ad says. It takes 4-5 hrs to fully charge one battery. It appears that the charger is half the output as the stock charger your EVO came with. Can someone verify the output voltage? Pix are in the post. I will report back after a few cycles and test runs.

[EVO 4G Accessories] taadow1030:
Hello all. After reviewing battery use over the past few weeks (my phone is rooted, but my wife's phone isn't), I've come to the following conclusions:

*The batteries are at least on par with OEM regular capacity batteries.

(disclaimer - I'm always flashing ROMS and kernels, while my wife's job is in a dead signal area).

* The charger should be thrown away at first opportunity, as it may damage your house and or phone. :eek:

All in all, I'm pleased... for ~$16.00 for two batteries, the value is unbeatable. Thanks for sharing!:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] cabrone1:

[EVO 4G Accessories] taadow1030:

[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I use the dock charger, it works fine for me. Of course I had to cannibalize two of them to get a single working one but whatevs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonlee83:
i got the battery about a week and a half ago.... charger is junk... I emailed the seller and they are sending me a replacement. As for the batteries, they seem to hold a charge well but i havent noticed any substantial difference. The only think i noticed is that the phone seems slower when using the batteries. I remember reading that the battery will only output but to 500mA where the original batteries will output more at any one moment. Maybe thats why they last through the day longer but doesnt give my phone enough juice when its needed. I dont know too much about batteries so ignore that if it doesnt make any sense.

Oh my gf is using the second galileo in her incredible and she hasnt complained to me once... Maybe im being too critical.

About how long does it take to receive?

[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
I doubt they are really 2000mAh, but I don't think that anyone has actually performed a real test on them to see what the actual capacity is. I noticed a difference over my stock battery, but it had 6 months of use on it.

I wouldn't really consider them an extended battery. However, I would say they are a good deal on what seems to be a decent quality replacement or backup battery.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
Well they aren't doing any false advertising. The phenomenon you are noticing is that the industry standard for determining battery capacity is somewhat loose. The OEM's tend to measure it in more conservative ways (because they aren't selling the battery; they're selling the phone) whereas the companies who sell just batteries test them in more liberal ways because they want the numbers to look better. Either method of measuring them would be legally correct as mAh is a very loose term.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
I bought 2 packs off ebay from the suggested seller. 4 batteries, 2 chargers. I got them all loose in an envelope. I haven't noticed any great increase in battery life, in some cases worse. I have a battery at work on one charger, one at home on the other charger (on a circuit protected switch in the bathroom). Some days I was getting in the red by noon! With very minimal usage, checking email or whatnot. I turned off all notifications for OTA updates, but fear maybe I got the 1.90 PRI/NV w/o knowing. I flashed all those radios & battery drain got worse!
