I am thinking about getting the Eris, but I read that the Sprint and European Hero both have a slightly larger 1500mah battery vs the Eris 1300(or was it 1200, either way it's smaller)mah battery. I have read this equals to about an hour less of talk time, and few hours less of standby time. Therefore, since the Eris is just another version of the Hero is it possible to get the Hero battery and use it on the Eris? thanks
bump please?
european Hero is 1350 i think, so not much difference there :/
Hmm but the Sprint Hero, which we get state side is 1500mah which is marginally larger and better from what I have seen in the reviews.
You are correct - the European Hero has a 1350mAh battery. However, as a GSM device it is less power hungry than the CDMA versions. I'm very surprised that the Eris doesn't use the same battery as the Sprint Hero.
I don't know any specifics of the Eris battery dimensions, but I do know that the Sprint battery is too big to fit in a GSM Hero.
Regards,
Dave
Big in terms of depth, hight &/or width wise? Yeah the Eris battery life is what gets me. You pair the Eris with its senor and the Sprint battery it could easily have the best battery life. Thanks.
The dimensions of the Sprint Hero battery is (in inches): 2 9/16 x 1 11/16 x 3/16
I've got a GSM Hero, so I didn't take these measurements myself and got them from another forum user here.
Regards,
Dave
Well I looked around a bit and turns out the Euro Hero battery fits but not worth it as its only a 50mah larger. The Sprint Hero battery works, but the battery cover does not fit over, hence a larger battery cover is needed(not needed with the Euro model).
No need a different back cover...fits fine. ...titan is 1600mah. Amaze 1730 ..not that much of a difference but some help
Mind posting pics? or where you got it from.
can you also tell us how much it increases your battery life?
How about this one? 1950mah, no change of cover needed.

www.batteryboss.org tested some Mugen batteries and they didn't do too well...
I bought an Amaze battery and will post back once I receive it. I am not sure how I can most accurately measure the relative performance. Any suggestions?
Just bought one (labelled for the HTC EVO 3D, but still the same battery as the Amaze). I'm not expecting a huge improvement, as I am already getting awesome battery life with the stock Titan battery, but it never hurts to have a little more.
Looking at the Seidio 1900 one too, but not sure if I'd get it since its 3rd party...
Update: Battery just arrived. It was completely dead upon first boot, so giving it a full charge before I test it out.
any update on these batteries? any problems with the phone not recognizing the charge percentage?
any noticable increase?

Using the HTC EVO 3D battery, I think I am getting about an hour more out of it, which is to be expected since its not such a huge increase in mAh.
Otherwise, I'm not having any issues with the battery in the Titan. Phone is charging fine, reading the percentages properly, no issues at all.
I said I would check back...
I got the Amaze OEM battery and it works perfect. Seems to last a little longer, but it is not material. There is no very accurate way to measure that I know of.
Someone is selling the today for $3.99.
EBAY
Why do I not see this thread in the forum?
Never mind....
i'm hoping to get one of them as well . hoping to further improve on the battery life ! .
would just like to ask how significant is the difference ?
No material difference.
I bought HTC BG86100 BATTERY FOR HTC SENSATION XE XL 4G EVO 3D G17 1730mAh
I´m having some issues with the battery questionmark. Howto get rid of it?! Also when i charge the phone the led is blinking red and green.
Do you have use this battery? Does the titan?
I'm using this battery too (from the EVO 3D). Works fine, although the Titan battery does not fit in the EVO 3D strangely.
No problems reported and the battery does last longer. I would say 1 hour too.. Takes longer to charge as well, but I guess that is obvious!

I brought one of the Evo 3D / Amaze 4G batteries from HTC on Amazon (1750mAh vs 1600mAh in the Titan). The only thing I have noticed is that the Titans original battery is 3.8vdc and the Evo battery is 3.7vdc.
Battery fits ok and everything works fine when I boot it up. I have heard that the sensation XL only charges to 90% with this battery so I will report back after a full charge.
Anyone else had different voltages on their batteries?
Maybe using the HTC Titan 2 battery in the HTC Titan would work as surely they are the same size.
According to GSM Arena:
HTC TITAN Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1600 mAh
HTC TITAN II Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1730 mAh
Same battery as the Amaze or Sensation XL. You can buy those today.
i was under the impression that the titan II has a non removable battery.

You are correct. But I'm sure someone will figure out how to get in there, if not there will probably be non-OEM batteries available for sale on the net somewhere.
But yes, the Amaze and Sensation batteries are the same, and available now. No need to wait for the actual Titan II battery.

Well the one i tried was Anker "1900" mAh battery. Ill try the OEM HTC battery from the Sensation. Cant really understand the reason why HTC couldnt put in the Evo 3D battery into the Titan with bigger mAh when they clearly could. But just left it out. Doesnt really make sense

The only way your theory holds water is if they knew the Titan was going to be obsolete in less than 6 months (Titan II) and that it had to be as low cost as possible to support all those $0.01 sales.
Maybe we might have a 3500mah batt for the rezound!!!!
I have been a little disappointed with the rezound's extended battery and have had good experiences with siedio batteries on the Dinc.
I called siedio and they said that they wont be making an ext batt for the rezound. So in my searches for a battery i came across this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=htc+rezound+batt
It seems that the same batt is used on the Rezound, thunderbolt and the mytouch 4g. I also come to find Seidio makes a 3500mAH batt for the t-bolt.
http://www.seidioonline.com/thunderbolt-innocell-3500-extended-battery-black-p/bacy35htmec-bk.htm
So the question i have is to any previous owners of the t-bolt or the mytouch:
Does the batt from these phones work in the rezound?
and
If yes - does the 3500mAH t-bolt seidio batt fit in the rezound with the rezound extended case. I currently have a call into Seidio's tech supp. hopefully they will give me an answer.
I sure wouldn't mind an extra 750mah on my rezound.
I just got a call back from Seidio tech support.
They told me that the batt works but doesn't register on the batt meter.
He said he actually had it in his hand and was testing it in a Rezound but he didnt have an extended back so i dont know if the verizon one will work.
He also measured the batt and said it is just under 1cm thick.
He said the phone powers up and seems to be working but he doesn't know what the long term performance would be like.
I guess there is electronics in the batt that communicates with the phone to track batt life.
Oh well don't know if i want to take a $70 chance with this.
It would be great if someone out there who has this battery could verify it.
I think I recall people having issues charging TBolt batteries as well. Not speaking from experience though but something to consider.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Another disappointing thing the Seidio tech told me - that there will be no 3500mah batt for the Rezound.

All batteries or just HTC t-bolt batteries? I mean does that include the Seidio 3500mah batt?
oh no... another one of these threads.
yes, a MyTouch 4G or Thunderbolt battery will work in a Rezound.
you will notice though that the "Wh"(wattage hours) do not match up(Rezound's being higher) so even though the Seidio one is 3500, it'll perform closer to a 3000 in the Rezound.
additionally, since the battery is not intended for the Rezound it has the potentional to do damage to the Rezound.
back in my Galaxy Nexus days, we found we could use Galaxy S II batteries in it. one of the GN users gave it a go for awhile and the SII battery ended up shorting out his device somehow & he had to get it replaced.

Oh yes another -
Problems with one phone/battery combo don't necessarily mean there will be the same problems on another.
Keyword - "potential".
It doesn't hurt to ask as someone out there may have tried it with success.
The Rezound or any phone does not have a WH rating. It has a continuous current rating. I don't know about the ratings of these phones but i would assume that the rezound is higher so, with voltage being ~ equal, the power dissipation would be greater.
The battery rating is not dictated by the phone. The battery WH rating is a function of the current/voltage and the dissipation time of the battery and independent of the device consuming it? So a 3500mah battery will deliver "X" mA's of power but for less time than in a mytouch due to the higher current draw (X) of the rezound.
In other words a 3500mah batt will perform like a 3500mah batt regardless of which phone it was intended to be used on.
Did you every buy a Thunderbolt extended battery and try in your rezound? If so does it fit with the Rezound Extended battery back?
guys i just traded my thunderbolt in for a rezound. like a damn idiot i shipped theTB's 3500 extended battery back to verizon but before i returned it, it lasted the same amount as on my TB. im gonna try and get verizon to ship it back to me because this rezound extended battery isnt as good.

Yes. I have the OEM Thunderbolt extended battery (made by HTC) in my Rezound right now. In fact, I've had it in since I bought the phone on ebay over 2 months ago. The previous owner had the OEM Rezound extended battery and back at one point, but lost the extended battery. So he substituted the battery with the extended battery for the HTC Thunderbolt. It has the exact same capacity and dimensions, but is black instead of red.

I tried my OEM thunderbolt battery in my rezound and it showed the battery indicator grayed out. Didn't show how much battery life I had/had left. And it didn't charge at all.
So I would wait until someone confirms that the seidio tbolt battery works in the rezound before buying.
Just buy the HTC extended battery for your Rezound. It lasts me 12-16 hrs of heavy use.

"heavy use" varies from person to person. for me the HTC extended battery lasts 3 - 4 hours "heavy use".
i'm probably just going to order that mugen 4000mah battery.
It's official, it does NOT work
Based on encouraging info here and in other forums, I decided to try this. I ordered the 3500mah battery for the Thunderbolt made by Seidio from Amazon. It came with the Thunderbolt extended battery back (which you do not need) and the battery, in a clear plastic snap-together case.
The battery does indeed FIT inside the Rezound using the extended battery back that I already had from buying the Rezound extended battery from Verizon. The Rezound will power on and will work with this battery, BUT
1. The battery icon on the notification bar will display a strange symbol, where it does not seem to understand the current battery charge level. A workaround would be to load Circle Battery Widget (free from market) which did seem to report an accurate battery level.
2. The killer - you cannot charge the battery using your Rezound, or a Rezound external charger. I plugged in the Rezound to a micro USB charger that I normally use and it looks like it's going to charge for a couple seconds (solid amber LED) but then it starts blinking alternate green and amber on the LED. This means there is a battery issue. Left it plugged in for several hours and the battery did not increase its charge. Also tried removing the battery and using an external charger I had for extra Rezound batteries, and it would not charge in there.
I packed the battery back into its plastic case and returned it to Amazon. They accepted the return and refunded my money.
Disappointing... The stock Rezound battery is useless. Even with an extended battery I have to baby it, turn off 4G and keep WiFi and GPS off unless I need them. Occasionally bump charge it or try to keep it above 70% for several days at a time or else it starts discharging at an alarming rate (dead by noon). So I have chargers next to my bed, in the car, and at work. I miss my old Incredible - with the extended battery I got all day even with 5 hours of GPS during a round of golf and some Wifi at home or work. Boo!
What the hell is wrong with your phone? To be fair, today was a light day with only 3 and a half hours of screen on time so far. But still... No reason the extended can't last the day.

Keep in mind everyone's experience will be different. Most people forget that Android is constantly looking for the strongest signal. The one thing you can be sure of is that everyone's phone will discharge at a different rate for that reason alone.
Beyond that you have to consider cpu speed, app configuration, memory leak, phone configuration, and a whole myriad of other factors that can contribute to drain.
I had the extended battery for about a week. In the areas that I live/work, it performed only marginally better than the stock battery. This was most likely due to how I had my phone configured (mostly conservative towards the end). However, for myself, if I feel I have to run this beast of a phone on minimal settings, there's no real point in having it. I made the compromise to return the extended battery and just buy additional chargers. Indeed, I have one on my nightstand, in the car, and on my work desk. The only time I'm really without a charger around is on the weekends when I go out at night. The stock battery performs fine for those purposes.
I will continue to monitor these threads until a suitable extended battery seems to give the majority of us the performance we need.

For the record
I've used this particular HTC Thunderbolt battery in three different Rezounds, with no issue. It seems to perform equal to the Rezound Extended Battery (both 2750 or 2700).
The part numbers on the battery are THE SAME. So at least for the normal extended battery, they (if part numbers being the same means they are the same) have no compatability issues.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055OTNK4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I've been using this in my Rezound for a few weeks now.
So ANYONE getting an Extended Battery for their Rezound, and need a little more juice, GET THIS BATTERY! It's $4! It's a perfectly good 2750 extended battery (completely legit) from HTC (not some garbage third party). They're dumping them as a result of overproduction I assume.
It's worth charging one of these up, and keeping it in your glove compartment for a rainy day (that's where mine is).
Everyone. Should. Get. This. For the price, I don't know how you couldn't. It's just that the HTC logo is upside down from the Rezound's (which doesn't matter).
So as an Extra extended battery, it's 10/10.

I got the OEM Rezound extended battery yesterday. Full charge, lasted a decent amount of time. But nothing great.
But I was on 3g, and did stream about 20mins of video. And I surfed quite a bit. But my evo 3d with the 4000mah battery kills the rezound.
I will have a better feel for the battery now that I am back home and on wifi, then on 4g at work. Thats more of my real life usage.
Hi everyone,
I am thinking about switching to white 4G LTE but have some concerns. So the reason why I bought evo 3D is that the battery is bigger than EVO 4G and it's replaceable. But now the 4G LTE won't let me change the battery, I am concerned about the battery life. Does anyone use EVO 3D before and can tell me the battery life difference between these two phones?
I know some people would say "go buy the external portable battery" but it is so much bigger than just carrying an extra battery so it is not an option for me. I love that I can use GPS when I am hiking and not to worry about running out of juice because there are extra batteries in my pockets. The extra batteries are just small enough that it does not really bother me to carry around.
So please share your experience with EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE battery life in order to help out an EVO fan here Thanks
Your not going to need a spare battery with this phone unless u dont sleep and charge phone while doing so. Moderate-heavy users get a good 10 hours on battery. I get about 5-6 hours running netflix nonstop.
It is so much better than the og EVO and 3d. I didn't own the 3d, but the og EVO is near the same. Had friends w the 3d and put it thru its paces. Anyways, doesn't much matter, the EVO LTE battery is 3x the life of ye older EVOs.
Could exaggerate and say its a thousand times better, but IRL it is actually 3 times the battery, maybe 2.5. Point is you won't have to worry about your battery dieing like before.
Having owned both the EVO 4G and EVO 3D I have to say that the EVO LTE's battery life is much much better. I go all day with a full charge when I wake up at 6 am and get home at 6 pm. I usually charge ny phone about 9 pm. I'm play games and do a lot of internet browsing as well as YouTube.

I would have to agree with these guys. I've owned the original evo, and the 3D, and the battery on the LTE far surpasses both.

Pretty much, this. The fact that it's not removable was a little discouraging, but after using it for a couple weeks, that discouragement went away.
I have owned both the evo 4g and the evo 3d and its definitely not even close. The battery life on the evo lte is outstanding compared to the previous evo's, and battery life is even more impressive when connected to lte when compared to the evo4g/3d when connected to wimax. If your biggest concern is battery life then you won't have anything to worry about.
owned all the evos and the lte is the only 1 that doesnt need a charge mid-day to make it through the day.
I've had the 3d and now the LTE and so far the lte's battery life is much better. Full day with heavy use without any problem.

My EVO LTE (stock) performs great on battery most of the time. I got home yesterday after work and was still at 80% (light use, most of the time spent in good signal area/WiFi access).
I do, however, get days where my battery life plummets (comparatively). Each of these days, Google Maps is listed as the major battery user (40-50%). I still can't figure out what triggers this (rogue) activity and why it spins out of control. My best guess is that something requests location and maps, for some reason, gets stuck trying to get the info. Seemingly, the only way I've found to stop the process is to power cycle -- killing maps doesn't seem to be effective.
If you use ROM toolbox, you can deny every receiver for maps, or just some.

I had the Evo 4G, still have the Evo 3D(just can't bring myself to sell it), and now have the Evo 4G LTE. I was disappointed by it not having a removable battery, but I still preordered it. For my Evo 4G I had extended batteries. For my 3D I have Anker batteries and a charging dock with a slot to charge extra batteries as well. Honestly though, it's nice to not have to carry extra batteries every where you go!! I did for years and it's a nice change!! The battery will last all day easily. I have multiple wall chargers and car chargers if ever needed.

I should add that I only know of 1 spot that had Wimax 4G, and it was a small spot where I rarely ever was and you had to be outside to get the signal. I now have 4G LTE all around my yard and even in my house! Actually, I get the fastest speeds on my bed!! 4G LTE is also at my girlfriends house and her work. It's awesome, and so are the speeds!! Faster speeds with LTE since it launched than I ever got on Wimax in 2 years!!!

The B life is pretty good on the LTE, but I think some of these people are exaggerating a little bit. If your a heavy user, you will definitely run out in about 5 to 7 hours. It is too bad there is no extended or replacement batteries on this.

Some users claim extraordinary battery life but are in fairly reliable areas and use WiFi only. When I first got the phone I got 5 hours of 3g netflix. Very very good
