I want an extended battery but don't want just a mere 2750(especially for the price they are asking). I had a 4500 on my thunderbolt and would like something around there or better.
has anyone found anything like that yet?
I also do not want a huge extended so I am waiting in hopes of a smaller one.

errr... no, i want a 'HUGE' one. i don't care if it doubles the physical size of the phone or not, just as long as it gives a sh** load of power so i'd be able to play games or watch movies all day. wee!
I don't want a different battery, I would just like to see slightly better life from this one. That being said, I haven't seen anything besides the 2750 either.

Lol, I agree.
I have 2 of the 2750 batts because I bought them cheap with the phone, but I want the biggest one I can get too.

where've you seen it for $30?... cheapest i've seen it is at htcpedia.com for $39.99
Got mine from buy.com
Just the battery though, as I have an integration idea with my current otterbox defender case (and most of the stock backplate).

Through the end of the month according to my store. Sad though that they had no accessories on display for the rezound. They had to get them from the back
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
ok so half off till the end of the month. cool.
oh and as far as.accessories on display, my local verizon only has iphone accessories out. everything else in the back.
I can also confirm that Verizon corporate stores should have this deal through December. When I went yesterday, one guy looked it up and said that the deal was no longer valid. As I was about to leave another employee suggested that the first "just scan it and see what happens". I got the deal. Apparently their system erroneously reports the deal as invalid, but it is valid...until Dec. 31st. So make sure you ask them to scan it!

After a month of nagging I finally got bumped up to the rezound for free. Well sort of, I was forced to pay $50 for the battery and battery cover plus next day shipping, but hey I'm not complaining!
So this is my first htc device and I was wondering what I can expect. I know bootloaders are locked unlike samsung devices, but that's pretty much it. If anybody could fill me in on some general knowledge I'd be forever grateful!
haha paid for battery/cover huh? that means they sent you a refurb, most likely i assume?
I am actually getting a Rezound shipped to me as well for a Charge replacement as well. My total came to like $30 with my discount for the battery and cover.
Yea these are basically refurb's or Certified Like New as they like to call them. So I should have mine early next week because I didn't pay for overnight shipping.

Yeah, I'm getting a refurb which means no iBeats, but whatever. I'd end up loosing them in a week anyways.
They exchanged my buddies 3 month old Bionic for free for a brand new Rezound w/ accessories. Seems like they have found a way to make their money off people.

I don't think they really do it to make money because the woman I spoke with gave me the option to buy the battery/cover from somewhere like Amazon if I wanted.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
If they give you a new device they lose money. Sending you a refurb with no battery/cover means they aren't losing anything, especially since you paid for your original device. The rep doesn't make commission selling you accessories so she had nothing to lose advising you about buying elsewhere. The point is, so many people have been trying to trade in their devices they have figured out a way to not take the hit from it.
I would try my hardest to get those iBeats. If you are getting the phone you should get all the accessories with it. This is not replacing a Rezound, which wouldn't ship the accessories.
Haha sucks to be you I got mine with everything free.

I wouldn't be overly worried about the ibeats, they are nothing special except they are worth $100 if you go out and buy them.

Not everybody was fortunate enough to talk to the angel of all tier 2 techs. And it was $30 for the back and battery. I paid the extra $20 to get overnight for those two. I wasn't going to be staring at a paperweight rezound for a week until I got the battery.
When i had an upgrade from citrus to the samsung continuum, they sent the phone free and i went to the vzn store and told em they didnt give me a back or battery, so it was all free

Hopefully. I'll find out tomorrow!
I received mine yesterday and it was just the phone (with a back cover though) in the box. So I was a little disappointed, I was hoping I would get a "kit" like I did when I got my Charge as a replacement for my old Fascinate which came with everything including the retail box.
So I called and tried to see if there was a way I could get the kit and I was basically told that it all depends on what the manager that originally approved it agreed to (plus she said that she doesn't even think that there were any kits available from HTC). So what she did to offset the cost I paid for the battery and cover was to give me a $9.99 credit for each of my lines (2 lines) for 2 months. So basically I made money off of this since I only paid $32 with tax for the cover and battery and will be getting $40 in credits.
So I guess it is better than nothing, but I was hoping to get the iBeats headphones to try out.

Cause he's a douche bag.
I happened to walk into Verizon today and got the OEM extended batter for $32 after taxes! I was taking my girlfriend to look at phones again and asked the rep if they had any in, he said yes, as a matter of fact we have a special going right now for them! Couldn't pass it up!
And, FYI I hate extended batteries, but this phone is a monster and we all know it needs the power! I am very pleased! I would suggest everyone try if they don't already have one!
Yep, I picked one up today also. They're 50% off.

I had no idea they were on sale, the rep handed it off to another rep and after my Military discount told me a different price. I told him the first dude said it was $29, he went to check and sure enough. Good thing the first guy mentioned it, otherwise I would probably have paid full price.

I picked it up earlier around 2pm I put it in the phone to drain it(45% upon installing), and even with 4G outtage and LTE antenna on I am still at 12%... lol. It is now 11:11.
Edit: Another thing I like, the antenna contacts are metal rather than that paper like crap in the stock back. Also, this battery doesn't seem to get as hot.
Great news. I'll have to buy online now. Thanks

I would think this goes in the accessories sub forum. Just saying. And I got my battery around $30 when I picked up my phone on Nov 18. Definitely gives the phone a more solid feel. They sell cases that fit with the extended battery. And a holster also.
This wasn't an accessory discussion, this was a heads up to folks that they are on sale if they hadn't already known. Notice the broad general discussion? Weren't you threatening to block me? lol, get out of my thread troll.

you can get just the battery for $15 from htcpedia. i got one case/battery and an extra battery so it's great
Was browsing around on Amazon and saw a new battery for the i777, claims to work with the default battery door. No mention of NFC capabilities so if you're looking for that I don't think this is your answer. However, I'm tempted to order one just to see how it plays with the phone and if it truly does work with the default battery door.

I'm skeptical as well for it only being $9.
I understand that but seeing as how the GTMax battery was only 13 for the extended (and it works perfectly), it wouldn't be too surprising to see this one perform decently as well. I have enough funds to sacrifice $9, so it may be a worthwhile investment if it does work as it should.
Update: Took the plunge and ordered, will definitely let you know how it works out if it does at all.
Hope it works out. if it does I may scoop one up for myself
If it works well I'll be ordering like 2 more and a separate battery charger.

Now this is an absolute feeler as I'm not 100% set on letting my baby go. I recently acquired an iPhone 4S and I been using it as my daily lately and with getting an HTC Rezound from a trade (hopefully next week) I got no use for 3 top tier Verizon phones. So I'm just looking to see what I can get for this (I'll do the same when I get the Rezound and I'll let go whichever I get the best deal for). The phone is in 9/10 condition. It has a minor paint chip by the headphone jack and it has a minor scratch on the very bottom of the screen. It took me minutes to try to get a pic of it. Maybe some of y'all can see it but it's not very noticeable. I have included a generic ballistic case, a generic S case from amazon, an SGP Neo Hybrid Satin, an Incipio case which was my daily case, and a cool red and black Fishbone case which replace the Incipio as my daily case. I have seven (yes SEVEN) batteries included. Two are the OEM 2100mAh extended battery, an OEM standard battery, two Hyperion slim batteries that worked well. One generic Samsung standard battery. And a QCell 3850mAH extended battery with battery cover. I have two OEM extended battery covers and one OEM slim battery cover. I have the box that came with it. I don't have the headphones nor the charger/USB cord (had so many batteries I never was hooked to a charger). And I'll also include two spare battery chargers to charge the spare batteries. Now I'm not 100% set on this so it will take a good deal for me to get rid of this. Well throw offers down and I'll consider them thanks guys and the few gals out there

It's probably closer to 3800 to 4000mah. The Chinese variants always lie to sell some batts unless it's Seido or Mugen who are trusted.
I am getting to the point where i am going to buy one. I am going to wait until my 30 days is up then buy an extended battery. Probably a cheap one like that first. I can't justify $100 for a Mugen one when it comes out, so this may work.

However with Mugen you get a 1 year warranty and guaranteed quality battery rated at 5000+ mah vs these knock offs that may wear off quicker and most likely no warranty.
You get what you pay for
I 100% agree going with Mugen is the smarter move. If I can take the chance and spend $15 on a knockoff and get lucky that it works well it is worth it seeing how the real deal is like 8 times more expensive.
Anyways most people don't keep there phones for more than 2 years anymore so longevity isn't always the biggest selling point.

Personally, I'd stay from any unbranded batteries from that region. They work fine for awhile after the return period and then they go bad.
