looks lke the new back door they provide is no where near as bluging as the 3200mAh version doing the rounds ..... but the picture may be deceptive !!
Anyone got one or used one
I have a 2800mah one I bought from igonemobile.com (via eBay).. the one that is bigger than normal and requires the special case that comes with it. I actually like it since it lifts the speaker up. With the original battery, if the phone is flat, the speaker is blocked. This 2800 works pretty good. Seems to like playing mp3's, wi-fi, and T-mobile internet usage so far. I have not charged it since Friday (Monday now) and it has like 50% power left.
I bought one in ebay (from China). 7€ + 4€ postal cost. It works nice ¡¡

Why did you double post this from the accessories forum?
Whats case do you use?
Hey guys,
you use the bigger Battery.
Which case do you use, no case?
I find no case for the bigger batteries...
Thanks!
Oliver
Yes I was wondering the same thing but I don't know if it would fit into my i.trek charger so it could be a moot point for me.
I guess maybe I just need a good "eyeglass style" case for my device.
A case for a bigger battery
Hey,
do you have tips which case I can use if I want a Battery with 2400 or 3200mAH
Thanks!
Oliver
Go to fortte dot com they make great cases and now have one that fits both extended and regular.
d
so do you guys reccommend getting 2 regular size batteries or an extended. the picture for the 3200mAH extended makes it look crazy big. i like keeping it in my pocket. What do you prefer? Also, what is the longest lasting batterry that can fit in the phone without a different back? Thanks guys. Just got my phone yesterday. Loving it. Trying to get all the things i need.
Good tip, more tips?
Thanks dwella,
good site you recommended. Yes, there a cases for bigger batteries.
But I love cases I can use my TYTN in the case, no need to pull it out.
Normaly I worked with Brando Alu Cases ore PDAIR Leather Cases with open front.
Has anyone a tip for cases with these specifications (No nee to pull out)
Thanks
Oliver
Help, is there no case for a bigger battery?
Hey,
I searched all the forums and interet pages. Is it possible that ther ist noch case for sale for a bigger battery (mugen 3200 mAH)
I can't believe this, no one has an idea?
Thanks!
Oliver
Hey guys so every time I open the back of my touch pro 2 I end up damaging the battery door as I try to put it back on. Will the Verzion and other styles work on the same TMO model? Does anyone know of any cheap ones/any ones with grips? I am started to get annoyed with my gel case, it gets hard to get the phone out of my pants with the bulky gel case sometimes. THanks

No, the US T-mobile model has a completely different cover than all other TP2. You do not indicate your nationality; I'm assuming you are from the US. I have not seen cheap replacements, they can be bought on ebay for $15 or so.
Yeah, I am from the US. I'll look into it. thanks
Hey guys,
I just wanted to share this because it might help someone. I bought the extended battery directly from Verizon because I wanted more autonomy and at first it worked as expected.
Over time though, I noticed that my phone stuggled with 4G and would switch to 3G most of the time, and when it stayed on 4g, it wouldn't really work. The browser would start loading and then be stuck at 80% for ever.
With new kernels available, I figured I should give the regular battery a test drive to see how it performs and I was surprised to see that my 4G problems went away.
I had noticed that my extended battery cover was getting very loose and I'm guessing that the contacts for the antenna weren't working properly anymore because I had to remove that cover so many times to do a battery pull.
It also seems that the regular cover that came with the phone has a lot more metal circuits in the cover so perhaps the regular cover works as a better antenna than the extended battery cover.
In any case, it worked for me. I would get 1x or 3g on a good day at the office and right now I'm listening to Pandora over 4g with no network shortage. So if you do have network issues with the extended battery cover, see if the regular cover helps, it did for me.
I think it is a hit or miss, my cover is great. Tight and works well.
Extended battery is great. Still creaks though.
I just decided to use my extended and I don't even get 4g. It was a cheap one so i could care less. Never had 4g in the area when I first bought it so never noticed it.

If your good with a sodering iron you can superglue and soder a piece of aluminum(tin foil or cut up pop can) on the inside of the extended back cover attached to the gold leads.. it'll strengthen the antenna. It worked previously in the past for me I just went back to using two stock batteries with an external lith-ion charger to keep me always up with at least one full battery no matter what.

I have always assumed the extended cover provides inferior reception of wifi and cell due to smaller antennas.
Over the years I never purchased Verizon's accessories like chargers. Verizon would buy the cheapest available that would work. Instead I purchased accessories made by the phone manufacturer.
On the other hand I got my Verizon extended battery and back free when I purchased this phone and it does seem to work okay. I assume the HTC cover works better.
I am currently using the standard htc cover cut for extended battery in a cut otterbox defender case.
Btw my rezound gets far more wifi signal bars at home compared to my Motorola Droid X.
thanks, more reason for me to keep my standard cover & battery

Well, first of all, the extended battery Verizon sells is the HTC battery and cover...they just repackage it in a Verizon branded box. Second, the Verizon branded car charger is by far the best car charger I've ever had. We have three of them because we replaced all of our other ones that were complete junk.
Inthe extended battery cover, the antennas in it are the exact same size and shape, and are in the exact same locations. If you just glance at it, you might think otherwise, but if you take a second to study it, you can clearly see why it looks different. Instead of being the bare gold colored antenna wires, they are futher coated with some kind of protective coating that makes them the same color of black as the cover. However, if you hold them in the light and study them, you can see the shape of the antenna inside the coating, and it's the same as the standard.
Anecdotally, I can say that there is no difference in reception between the standard and extended battery cover for me, and I am in a situation where I would notice it. My house gets awful signal, barely one bar in most places, and switching to the extended battery didn't change that at all. If it actually got worse reception, then I would not get reception at home.

I bought that Mugen slim extended battery, it is ever so slightly thicker and stops the creaking in the factory battery cover.

Strike, you are right!
There is some kind of black coating in the same areas where the standard cover has its antennas. These are not the exact same shape, but very close. Thanks for telling me about it.
Btw I stopped buying verizon chargers in my flip phone days. They did work, looked cheap, and cost more than buying genuine oem on the Internet . It is possible verizon chargers are better now.
I can attest to the standard battery cover not working any better than the extended one. At home, I seemingly get the same number of bars on WiFi, 3G and 4G and the same speeds with either cover. At work in the office, I still get spotty reception at best, with occasional drops to 1x or no data.
Perhaps I damaged my extended battery case then because I tried again and I definitely get way worse connection with it. I did take it off and put it back on a LOT and it's to the point where it's really loose so perhaps the phone connections don't make good contact with it.
I'm not too worried though because with the new kernels, the battery lasts longer and I can put a case on again without making my phone look like a brick.
I'd like to see some pictures of that!

I hope bumping an old thread is better than creating a new one.
I'm having awful 4G connectivity issues. My phone doesn't drop to 3G, the "Quick Settings" shows Mobile Network into "Connecting" then "On" then back to "Connecting" and etc. etc.
I have dropped my phone in the past, so could it be the case, but what about the SIM card? I'm still on GB, is that possibly the problem?

I agree on the verizon car charger. It charges much faster than any other car charger I have used. Even on my galaxy nexus.
Didn't read much but I'm pretty sure the antennas in the ext bat cover are exactly the same as the standard one. I haven't had any reception issues, never have.
The first cover I got with the battery was loose and would halfway pop off on the side that doesn't have the charge port. I exchanged it at Verizon for one that fit pretty good but now it's creeks on that side and it's kind of annoying. I'd exchange it but I think it's past the return date or will be in a few days (if it's 30 days) actually I should check that because the store is a mile and a half from me lol. Ridiculous to me that a 50 dollar battery and cover has fit issues (Yay HTC -_-) . Not to mention how ugly and awkward it is in the hand. Ugh and it's annoying how it rocks on the table. But the battery life is awesome.. 2 days of use now with normal use for me on 4G lol...
Edit: also I cut one the back of one of my silicone cases out to fit the battery door. Feels better that way, went through two to get it just right... I actually prefer the girth and weight added. (heh)

I actually found that and saw a ton of bad reviews for it on the web so I decided not to get it.
Is yours descent? Supposedly the guy just makes a cut out on cheap cases and sends them out. Lot of people were saying it was loose or poorly cut and so on
I apologize for creating this thread. I have searched high and low to find the official case that will work with Verizon. I don't care if it's qi charging doesn't work with my verizon variant. I just want the officially lg branded case in mint. Any ideas?
I'd take one in black but there are soo many counterfeits. What's the best price you guys have seen on a traditional black one?
Or what about the knock offs. Any that have a magnetic closure built in that you like?
I'd totally have the official slim guard in black but the cost is too high. I always end up spending too much on accessories and as a person who buys and sells phones a lot, it's an added unnecessary expense.

Well I have a black quick circle case with qi, if you want that. Everything works good on it, I'm just not a big fan of flip cases. PM me if you want pics or if you have any questions.
