If I decide the keep the EVO 3D, I'll probably want a spare battery and a charger for the spare battery. I'd consider something like this if it had a spot for a spare battery. I don't want the extended XL batter since I keep my phone in my pants.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-crdhev3d.htm - anyone know of something like this but with a spare battery charging spot?

Like a few others I have found (and tested) these and It seems to be the best choice. I does include a USB port for dual charging. They cost more but its well worth it:

Thanks, I was thinking about just getting an OEM battery but what I'm looking for ideally is a single cradle that I can just dock my phone in but also have a spare battery charging in.
Here you go:

Have the original one for the OG EVO (about a year now,) worked pretty good....it is on my wifes desk at her work now.
thanks for the link
I found one at the Kidigi site a few weeks ago. It isn't out yet, but I emailed the company and they say it should be available at the end of July.
I saw another model on eBay and a few other sites, but the spare battery charger holds the battery horizontally, which takes up more space on your desk. It looks like the Kidigi cradle holds the spare battery vertically, saving some real estate.
Apologies for not posting a link to it. I joined a few years ago when I had a problem with a different phone but haven't posted enough to be permitted to post links yet. Anyone interested can find the cradle I'm referring to by searching for the manufacturer's name, Kidigi.
I still wish the official HTC dock with the MHL adapter-compatibility also had a spare battery charger, though.

Has anyone seen anyone selling and OEM EVO 3D battery? I had a bad experience with cheap Chinese batteries, so I never buy them. I need an OEM.
Also, what about a wall charger for the extra battery. Has anyone seen one? Seidio will probably sell one, but I don't see it up yet.
I'm just curious as to what you mean by "a bad experience"? I also bought some cheapo $10 chinese batteries for my Evo, and they were great, except the build quality was crap, they basically fell apart on me after about 6 months. What happened to your battery?
On an older, dumb phone, I bought a Chinese extended battery. After about 3 months, the battery started causing my phone to reboot constantly. It took me a long time to figure it out. I vowed never to buy a knockoff battery again.

I ordered this battery as a backup for my EVo 3D from Amazon and after conditioning the battery the last couple days, I got 22hrs 4m and 13s on it. Highly recommend

I just bought the photon and came from the Epic. For my epic i used to have wall chargers that came with two aftermarket batteries that i bought from ebay. I loved having those, i never had to plug my phone to the cord. The price was like $13 to $15. Has anyone seen anything like this yet? Maybe its too soon.

I've seen a allegedly compatible charger on ebay for about $6-7.
No batteries yet that I've seen.
I have a 2nd from a return and I would love to keep it charged. The charger on ebay seems like an adjustable generic.

I'm hoping someone comes out with a dummy desktop dock without the functionality of the HD dock. I need one for work so I can place the Photon in. I hate just laying the Phonon around without a dock.
Also hoping to see desktop phone holder/extra battery charger unit like the one I had for my EVO.

I carried an extra battery for my Epic and I was wanting something like that for the Photon. After taking the back off to put in a memory card I'm a bit concerned about how the back is going to hold up being taken off a lot to switch batteries. I was a bit surprised that my Epic back had lasted a year of being constantly taken off so maybe the Photon will surprise me. If not I guess I will just need to keep a stash of backs handy..

I went ahead and used binder clips to create a dock for my desk at work. Originally used it with my HTC Hero, and am now using it with my Photon.
There is an article on Lifehacker about doing this, which I used for inspiration. (Can't post the URL apparently, since I'm a n00b.)
It might not be pretty, but at least it sits up now and is easily viewable from my usual sitting position.
i dont like bulky battery
Does anyone know if the Atrix battery can fit in the Photon?
Atrix comes with 1950 mA vs. 1650 mA for the Photon

This site (which has been mentioned on this forum for USBJigs, is offering 2 OEM Style batteries PLUS an external charger for $20? I would love to pounce on this offer..
EDIT: yea i just ordered it... i figured for 20$ if its a bust im not out much.
I was thinking actual Samsung batteries, but OEM "style" has me questioning.
i bought it, i figured for 20$ i would give it a shot, ill update the thread when i get it so everyone knows if it was a good buy or not. but i also wanted a jig (my main reason for looking there) so worst case scenario i just spent $26 on a usb jig and battery charger. (26 after adding jig)
I was really thinking about picking up one of those too. Report back when you get yours and let us know how it is. Is the jig for the sgs2 the same as the captivate one?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. There were links for different phones on that site, I just clicked ours and these accessaries were showing.
The batteries will work however you will not be able to plug in the USB cable. Doing so will cause endless boot loops. Its a known issue when using i9100 batteries.

guess that's the catch then...
Those are Chinese generic batteries that are available on eBay and elsewhere. I had a set and charger for the Captivate, purchased for less than half what that seller is asking. They did work, but nowhere near as well as the OEM battery despite having the same nominal capacity rating. The charger was also really weak at 300mA? or so and took hours to charge (USB is 500mA). They were good when I needed a few extra hours in a pinch, but that's about it.
Swapping batteries also can throw your battery stats off.
I have no experience with the USB boot loops etc.
Speaking of made in China batteries for the I9100 I just got one in the mail. Seems to be working fine with no reboots, hope it stays that way.

And there's apps for having separate battery stats in case you have different sized batteries.

Hey.
My girlfriends little brother spilt liquid all over her phone. Now it works but it will not charge, i gave her my battery and if worked fine but refuses to charge. Due to working different hours i cannot use my phone to charge her battery.
Sent it back and they knew it was from liquid damage so they gave it straight back.
What can i do? Buy a new board of ebay or something?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
you might get away with just replacing the USB board, which is a really quick easy change...
you could also go on ebay and get the Anker battery and charger set which includes two 1900mah batteries (same dimensions as the stock 1600mah)
1 charger for the battery
It costs about $20 and means you can charge 1 battery, use the other...
Oh awesome might look into that battery thing.
And i thought of the usb board replacement to but where can i get one?

such a cheap fix, it's worth trying that before replacing the whole main board which is $$ whereas the battery idea is quick, and the batteries are just flat out handy... especially because you can charge them outside of the phone... i believe you can use the charger on your Nexus too... it's a cool adaptable charger. so for less than $30 you can get the batteries, charger and the usb board shipped to you... which i think is a way better idea than trying to get a main board.
PS... thanks button haha

No just get another phone with a bigger battery or removable battery. Or buy two DNA's, 2 phones would take up less space. When one phone dies turn the other one on.:silly:

While I haven't purchased it myself (highly considering it though, will need to do more research), this seems fairly interesting.

Here's a "review" that I watched/learned about its existence. Doesn't help much... anyone care to explain which port we would use to charge the DNA? The 2A or the 1A?

It really doesn't matter which port, I don't believe the DNA uses more than an amp to charge, but you can't damage it by using the 2A port.
This is correct! The phone decides how much charge to pull preventing incorrect chargers from damaging

use the 1 amp. When using car chargers that have 1 and 2 amp choices, my phones have always charged @ 500mah on the 2 amp side but 1 amp on the 1 amp side. I think its to protect the phone. There are battery apps that will tell you how much charge the phone is getting.
http://www.amazon.com/5600mAh-Exter...d=1353451168&sr=8-2&keywords=external+battery
I use the 5600mA version (though only has a charge rate of 500mAh, but the biggest one can even charge a laptop and it goes for less than $45, the smallest one is about the size of two fingers put together and the largest one about the size of a 2nd phone (though probably a bit thicker) and has a 3Ah max charging speed
edit: i was looking at the 10000 mA version and it seems that the astro3E doesn't have the laptop charging, but i found the regular one (astro3) that does have the output for laptops, but is also selling for $60.
What about MintyBoost? I'm planning to make a few. The main feature is that it works with standard AA batteries (or AAA or whatever gives it from 1.5 to 4.5 volts or so, rechargeable or not it's not picky about source) and you can hot-swap them in the field with fresh or even cannibalized ones (you can easily "increase" the amount of power you carry with you without buying another expensive charger by just having a stash of cheap rechargeable AA).
Anyone tried? Any bad things about it?
I just got the EasyAcc 12000mAh one from Amazon for $40 and I highly recommend it. 12,000 mAh so roughly 5 full charges for the DNA. I'd post a link but I'm new.
I've got the Motorola P4000 from VZW. It's nearly perfect. The form factor is exactly what I want...very very thin. It also has a built in MicroUSB cable, which tucks nicely into the lip around the unit. Both of these are features I wanted. It also accepts a USB cable to use a separate cable if you prefer, but the integrated cable is huge to me. It's recognized as a 1A AC charger and charges fast.
There's just one fairly big problem though. If I'm in certain areas, presumably where signal is a bit iffy, it'll kill my signal when I plug it in with the integrated cable. Interestingly it seems not to do that if I use a separate cable -- even if the phone and the charger are in the exact same spot as when I used the integrated cable. So it seems like there may be some kind of interference that isn't being shielded with the built in cable. It's a big issue, but I haven't yet found another device with the form factor, integrated cable, and 1A charging. And in most places, it doesn't happen. I just have to keep an eye on it if I'm using it and expecting a call.
