[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
This seller has up what look like and are listed as OEM 1800 mAh batteries for $5.98? If anyone knows anything about this seller or the authenticity of these batteries, that would rule.

These really seem too good to be true. That said, I'm ordering one. For six bucks, it's worth a shot.

Haha, apparently since this is my first post on here, I can't include a link. However if you just search eBay for the title of the listing, which is "1800mAh Replacement BATTERY HTC Droid Incredible Evo 4G" it's the only result.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
VERY likely a Chinese crap battery. However, at that price, it'll still be good for a backup battery. It'll definitely hold at least as much as the stock one
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
I mean, I'm guessing that that's probably the case, however they are branded HTC, look exactly like the HTC batteries I have, the seller has sold over 600 of them and has a 99.4% feedback rating.

All of those things could really mean absolutely nothing, but it's worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
Oh definitely! I wish my Seido had the red HTC casing lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Well at least you're not looking at it all the time. It's a little off topic, but how is that Seido battery treating you? I've just hung out with my standard 1300 mAh for too long, I'm sick of it. I've got an OEM 1500 mAh on the way and now this suspect one.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
God the Seido 1750 is amazing. On Uber Z with included kernel I get from 7am-10pm with medium-heavy use and have 40-50% left (which I then promptly spend watching youtube vids and playing Angry Birds until 1am :D) treating me pretty well, I'd say it's worth the money. I look at it often enough btw, I seem to have a nasty bug that whenever I toggle the WiFi on while doing something else, the phone has a 50/50 chance of stalling and needing a batt. pull -_-
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Well, nevermind. Before I decided to order I thought I'd look at the seller's negative feedback. I found these three pieces of feedback on this battery:

"Removed sticker and noticed the battery was labeled at 1130mAh."

"Battery has yet to outlast OEM battery which is 1500mAh."

"Great Deal on product, different than advertised, 1800mAh was a 1250mAh instead"

So that's that, I suppose. All the good reviews are probably from people who didn't bother to check it out closely or test it before leaving feedback. I think I'll just put those six bucks toward a real OEM or Seido from a trusted source.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
Wow good call. I got my Seido from the AndroidCentral store, got fast shipping on it under the standard option. I'd personally buy from them again, highly recommended.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Hm, that's an interesting problem. I can't think of how that could be caused by the battery though! I'll probably invest in one from them or find an 1800 mAh OEM battery that's not from a seller in Hong Kong off eBay for six bucks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
From what I've heard, the OEM batteries come in original 1300 and 2100, not at 1800. that's why I got the Seido. And that problem has nothing to do with the battery, I just do see the battery a lot :D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Haha, I totally misread that. Maybe you can find out where this guy is getting his red HTC stickers from.

And I've heard people talking about OEM 1500 and 1800 mAh batteries before...hmmm...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bomber889:
the 1800 mah i ordered from ebay seems to be good. lasts longer than the one which comes with the incredible for sure
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
You might have gotten lucky. What seller did you buy it from?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SteveG12543:
The 1500 could be the Evo battery. It fits in the Inc, so I've heard. I would like to someday upgrade my battery :D maybe the 1750...

Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.3.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] pickthecrowdup:
I bought 2 of these from amor_istores and they both outlast my 1300mah and 1500mah batteries. I couldn't be happier. It took a while to get to Michigan from Hong Kong, but it was worth it. I stream Shoutcast or Pandora through it all day at work with a good signal. And yeah, it does look like a real HTC battery, but I highly doubt it.

Funny thing is, the postage added up to $8! Weird. I suggest buying it. That's just my opinion though.. :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Well, I'm going to take your word for it. Buying one from the same seller you did, "amor_istores". It was $5.98 with free shipping. If I'm not as lucky as you, it won't be too big of a loss.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] grifforama:
Just ordered one. We'll see.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
I just recieved an "OEM" 1500 mAh battery from a seller on eBay called "accessorymallonline" in the mail today. It was just over 8 bucks and I bought it right before I started this thread. It's charging right now, gonna charge it up to full, kill it and charge it all night so I can get a few cycles in it before trying it out tomorrow.

We'll see how it does compared to my standard 1300 mAh battery. Looking at it compared to my standard battery, there are some major differences in labeling and the way the label is laid out/stuck on the battery. I'm assuming this would be the same battery that ships with the Evo, I'm going to check out some pictures and compare them to what I recieved.

Battery feels solid, is slightly thicker than my standard battery, would look OEM if I didn't have a real HTC battery to compare it next to. Who knows, it could be, but I don't really think so.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Well, looking at the pictures on Android Central of their OEM HTC 1500 mAh battery, I'm inclined to say this is OEM. The quality is there, the battery actually feels better made than my standard 1300 mAh one.

There's not a detail missing from the battery when compared to the picture, really. They look identical. I wish I knew someone with an EVO so I could compare side by side. I have to wonder, could these actually be OEM?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hammondnav:
I don't have any experience with extended batteries for the Incredible, but I highly suggest you check out this website. The extended battery market is notorious for misrepresentation.

A few years ago I did a battery test for a Samsung device (as a job assignment). We tested the stock battery against four eBay batteries that were selling for under $10 all claiming to be OEM. Every single eBay battery performed weaker than advertised. The best one was about 25% under its rating and the worst one about 60% under. I haven't trusted cheap batteries ever since...

Not saying that every seller out there is lying, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. Hope you're having a bettery experience with your purchase than we did with our Sammy batteries back in the day. :D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
No, don't get me wrong, I totally expect all these batteries to be fake, whether they suck or not is another story, and that's what I'm really crossing my fingers about. I've seen that page before and I'm aware that 99% of eBay batteries will be garbage.

However, when compared to Android Central's OEM (at least the pictures) the 9 buck battery I got off eBay looks completlely idenctical in every way, has a very good build quality to it, etc. The Android Central listing is even the listing for the HTC OEM battery on Battery Boss's page. I wish I had a device to test the mAh.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] spin0ut:
I bought 2 of the 1800 mah batteries off eBay with external charger for 11 bucks and they have been great so far

You guys do realize it's Seidio, not Seido, right?

Whoops. Oh well.

Results from today with the chichictek 1800 battery. Only about a month old. Hoping it stays this way
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Damn! I'm actually excited now.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shoman24v:
Not too shabby, seems to be what I get with my 1500 :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] spin0ut:
You get that with 4 hours awake time? The 1500 I had was terrible

[Droid Incredible Accessories] firewater88:
Just ordered 2 1800 off brand batteries with travel charger from Amazon for thirty something. Just now breaking them in. Not sure of brand but look similar to stock. Have already outlasted stock battery by far. Could be the same Hong Kong battery, but I got mine in 2 days.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] savagebunny:
Just bought 2x 1800 mAH off of amor_istores. Not expecting miracles but for $11.98 for 2 of them, Sure why the hell not. Can't wait too see if there dead cells or they work for 3+ months
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Upon closer inspection of my 1500 mAh battery from a seller on eBay called "accessorymallonline" side by side with a 1500 mAh battery from an Evo, I can confirm it's a real HTC battery. There is absolutly no difference between the two. If it's a fake, it's an amazing, amazing, amazing fake.

HOWEVER, the 1800 mAh battery I just opened up from "amor_istores" is clearly a fake. The sticker is misalinged, the has misc. typos, the HTC logo on the front of the battery is a thicker print than on my Incredible's battery or the OEM 1500 mAh battery. I can't speak of the performance yet, as I've had it in my hands for about two hours now.

I'll check back with more details after a couple days of use.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hexon:
I ordered one from them as well and I'm just waiting for it in the mail. I figured for $6 bucks I didn't have much to lose so I'm hoping it at least lasts a bit longer than the stock battery.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] 06stang:
I thought the same thing until I began wondering about the possibility of a cheap Chinese battery destroying my phone. Ordered one anyway :/

HTC Incredible
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
I'm using it as I type this, and it seems to be working fine. I also noticed this battery doesn't have a water damage sticker like OEM ones do. As far as performance, I really can't tell for sure yet. I have to break it in a bit. I think what I'm going to do as a quick and dirty test is put my phone in airplane mode, WiFi on, backlight on full and play a movie with all 3 batteries, non-bump charged and record the % when I'm done. It might not be the most accurate test, but it'll at least give me a general idea.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
I snagged the "chitek" batteries (or whoever that was, too lazy to read back). Pair of 1800 with a wall charger for $37. Result? AWESOME. Definitely last longer than my Seidio 1750 did.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Any way you or someone else with those batteries could take pictures of them? Front, back, charging side? I would totally appreciate it, I'm wondering if this one is the same as those
[Droid Incredible Accessories] spin0ut:
Here's mine with charger
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Yeah, that's for sure not the same one that I have.

The 1800 mAh, 1500 mAh, 1300 mAh (stock) are in that order, left to right, in pictures one and two, and I accidentally reversed them in picture three, so that one is 1300 mAh, 1500 mAh, 1800 mAh from left to right.

In picture one, you can see that the 1500 and 1300 mAh batteries have sharp, thin font logos, whereas the 1800 mAh has a fat, blurry log. And though it doesn't show in the pictures too well (sort of in image #3), the red on the two OEM batteries is identical, the red on the 1800 mAh is faded in comparison.

In the second picture, you can see that the two OEM batteries have water damage indicator stickers (notice the 1300 mAh one is pink...haha, whoops!) while the 1800 is lacking one all together. You can also see that the OEM batteries have a somewhat rounded edge, but the 1800 mAh battery from "amor_istores" is quite sharp.

In the third image, you can see a lot of glaring signs of a fake, the faded black type, the fact that it's missing a Part No., that the model number is the same as the 1500 mAh (RHOD160), which would not be the case, the missing spaces "riskoffire", the oddly spaced text, etc., etc.

The 2150 mAh battery I own was in my phone when I took the pictures, but it looks like the stock battery for the most part when it comes to the layout of the text on the battery, but has the shape, red sticker design and water indicator design of the 1500 mAh battery.

The battery from seller "amor_istores" is clearly a fake, but it seems to work just fine, for $6.00 or so, free shipping (only took a week for me, from Hong Kong), it's really not that bad. It at least feels somewhat sturdy and seems to hold a charge about on par with the stock battery, if maybe a bit more. I'd go ahead and snag it as a backup battery, but I wouldn't put it through the endeavors of daily use. The 1500 mAh from seller "accessorymallonline" however, seems legit! Buy it!

I'll test out the four batteries I have now within the next week or so when I have some free time from work:

1300 mAh OEM (stock).

1500 mAh (more likely than not) OEM ($8.75, free shipping, from eBay seller "accessorymallonline").

1800 mAh knock off Chinese ($5.98, free shipping, from eBay seller "amor_istores").

2150 mAh OEM (usually $44.99-$59.99 from Verizon, although I was able to talk them into just sending me a free one with free two day shipping because I'll milk Verizon for whatever they'll give me).

I'll probably do it like I said, same ROM, airplane mode off, full brightness, playing a video for an hour or two, then recording the % left afterward. Not the most accurate test, not at all, but I don't have time to run them until their dead, or test them with the proper tools. It should give a general idea, or at least a hint, at the performance with each battery.

Sorry for the long post, but just a heads up on what you're buying! Hopefully this will help someone else out!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] grifforama:
I bought one of these 1800's off ebay, and I am getting TERRIBLE battery life with it.

Need to do a few more days to double check, but initial thoughts are that it's a fake.

I was down to about 30% on Saturday after minimal usage. My 1750 Seidio seemed much better.

Only 8 bucks down the drain though.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Yeah, they're fake for sure. The 1500 is real though.

I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find the drivers for Linux anywhere. Does anyone have them or know where to get them? I've checked Motorola's website, Verizon's website, and Google but I can't seem to find them. I need these for my computer running Ubuntu 10.10. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Droid X General] jrard44:
Where you are going, you don't need drivers :)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. If you are just trying to connect via Mass Storage (ie, access the sdcard), then it should just work. Depending on how your system is set up, you may have to manually mount the device.

If you want to use the development tools, like adb or something, then all you need to do is to (as root) create a file called:

/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

And put in it:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"

(Note: that is the Motorola vendor ID, so if you have also want a phone to work that isn't made by motorola, you will have to find their vendor ID. You can find those here:

I've have been wondering this as well, but I believe it is a function buried within the kernel so we may need to wait for the source.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I thought they needed the source to make a voodoo build...

I don't think that the tether spy has much to do with the data throttling since they can already see how much data we use.
[Fascinate General] quarky42:
I asked this a few nights ago and the answer I got was: Yep, EB01 has the same sort of tether tracking in the kernel that DL30 had, so no it is not safe the tether with EB01 at this point.

Wait for Kernel source and give them some time to see if it can be ferreted out of there without breaking anything else.
[Fascinate General] cory3122:
Anyone got busted yet?
[Fascinate General] dalrym05:
Noons knows if it is safe at this point but don't jump to not being safe so quickly. I am tethering with eb01 and was tethering wwithdl30. I wrote the thread o. How to hack the tethering app for Frito and will. Continue to test and keep people updated with my bill. I'm sure they wont charge you extra without signing up for anything. So if your not worried about a measly 30 bucks just do it for a month a see what happens but I don't think anyone will be charged. I myself believe this tracker is just to throttle data if your using to much. I have never encoured extra charges for tethering and don't expect to. I believe their system is not that advanced to where they can "flag" your account and charge you more. As I've been tettethering 15-30 gigs a month for a long time and nothing has ever happened. If you want to follow my thread go for it. Besides if your bill goes up for a month big deal just call and get it straightened out and stop tethering. I think any of us can afford another 30 bucks if we must on our allready expensive bills. At least then you'll know whether you can do it or not.
[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
I think this will be the only real proof, and so far the answer seems to be no. So take that for what it's worth--too soon to tell or bogus? We'll just have to wait and see.
[Fascinate General] dalrym05:
No. And if anyone should. Its me.

[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
They might not actually activate the snooping service until EB01 is actually released, since right now only testers should have it. Their datasnooping server might not even be operational!

I actually thought so too, but apparently JT only needs the source to apply the Voodoo sound & color fix. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950945

Sgstools used to be an app avalable in the market but the person who used to maintain it quit because it was too hard to maintain for free. it is really useful and is included on a lot of custom roms most people new to flashing don't see its usefulness until they actually need it.

Opening some apps causes the media scanner to create an xtra thumb nail if this happens to much you get thumb nails for thumb nails and then you got 3000. The script should clean it all up. Should work on any rom. There is also options to swap out your gallery with a modded one that doesn't make your sensors go wild and eat your battery.
