Why do you have to wait for Hong Kong?
Got my 1800mah battery through from Clove today and charged it up all last night.
First impressions:
The back is exactly the same design (including wobbly back) as the original just the sides are about twice the size i.e. "tall". If you look at the USB port on the back, the phone is now about this much again deep so, not that bad. I know feck all about battery technology but it does appear to me that there is a lot of wasted space now under the case.
The case itself also has an extended "peep hole" for the the camera to look out of. Initialy when you look at it, it doesn't seem wide enough for the camera but after testing I can only conclude it is as it does not affect camera operation.
The battery is a small chunky affair thats exactly the same shape as the original with about twice the depth. After a full charge last night, Batti 2.0 seems to tell me its only got around 95% charge. This could be for two reasons I guess? Batti is not designed to cope with 1800mah batteries and/or the battery will require further charges to come to max power. It of course adds a little weight but, at the moment i've not really noticed it.
All in all, so far, it seems a good purchase. Will let you know how performance is over today and tomorrow (btw, im a heavy user with push mail etc and also work in an office which has feck all signal - i.e. radio on full xmit all day).
Can you please take some pictures, so that all of know what to expect when we want to buy it too ?
Sorry yes, will do when I get home tonight.
Do you use any cases? If so, how does it fit there? Is it to big or so?
No I don't. The phone, even with this battery is still small enough to fit in most of my jeans pockets.
"Are you pleased to see me or is that phone in your pocket?"

I look forward to your photos, I was looking at the clove one and some on ebay. Is that clove UK.
Dont know. This is the one I purchased but the picture looks nothing like it:
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....&product=30EB1DEF-CE29-4EA5-B021-E151FCA14D73
How much time did it take before you got it since you ordered it? and where are you from?
And this is the case im thinking about buying
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000268&products_id=7644
But looks like it wont fit in there maybe.
I bought it direct from Clove on the link above. I ordered as a pre-order so it actually took around 10 days or so. I believe they have them in stock now so you should be looking at around 2 or 3 days I guess?

I got it also from Clove. Have you tested GPS yet? My Diamond can't find any satellites with 1800mAh battery! Yesterday GPS worked fine with original battery! I can't test original battery now because I'm at work... I will test again original if I find way to my home!
Ouchies! That would be really bad if its the battery.
Sadly, I fecked around with my GPS settings and I can't find them on here anywhere to correct them so none of my GPS apps work. If someone could tell me which ports/baud rate etc I can try my GPS out here at work.

COM4 Baudrate 4800 worked with original battery and with Radio v1.00.25.05 (COM4 and baudrate 19200 with Radio v1.00.25.03).
cheers, gimme 10 or 15 and i'll try it n get back to you.
edit:
Just to confirm then
GPS Program Port = Com5 (or whatever, Just not com4?)
Hardware port = Com4, 19200 (im running .03)
and I tell google maps to use GPS settings, "set by Windows"?
Some Q's:
- How long does the full battery last? For example with GPS + screen on (with the 900 it will only last about 1.5h).
- Can someone measure how much thicker the device is with the new cover (original is almost 12mm and I really hope it does not add 6mm)?
- Do photos look better/worse with the new cover?
Thanks!

Looks like I have a far worse issue!
I try to use the GPS and it won't lock anything, google maps shows 0 satelites. I looked at Windows->Settings->GPS and it shows a Hardware port of "none" no matter how many times I change and OK it.
Any ideas?

You don't have to change External GPS setting from Systems -> Setup. Only if you use External (Bluetooth) GPS! If you use internal Diamond GPS leave them default. In Google Maps tell it to use "set by Windows."
You can setup some (like Run.GPS Trainer UV) -programs manually if "set by Windows" don't work, these programs have own COM and baudrate setup to internal GPS.
Thanks. Just confirmed that with Google search. Looks like now i've played with them I will need a reboot. Will try again.

Hi,
I am having an issue with my battery: it drains really really fast, I mean I am loosing 10% per hour. It all started when I flushed my first 128mb compatible rom. I went from Mo3ulla latest to Ivans and back to Mo3ulla and all three had this issue. I also noticed that phone doesn't go to standby, backlight off - works, but turning power off after 2 min setting just doesn't do anything.
Apps I have are:
SPB PocketPlus 4, pBar, A2DPToggle, TCPMP, AEButton and that is pretty much it.
Any ideas and help is very much appreciated.
1. kill resident programs on device such us SPB PocketPlus 4, pBar,
2. check device battery status // they may be in charging status (due hardware bug)
3. execute instructions which i write in theme

did all of the things you mentioned in the thread, problem still exists.
The reason I started a new thread is beause it doesn't seem to be rom related. Could the reason be just old or defective battery?
How old is your device/battery?
If it is older than six-eight months, most likely it is soon going to die. That's how it started for me too. Then it'll get worse, like losing charge when plugged into the mains, and your device suddenly dying at around 50%, which will increase later.
The easiest solution would be to buy a new battery. If that solves the case, then cool. If it doesn't, you'll have a backup battery when your current one dies
Getting worse
I've had the device for about 4-6 month, not sure how long previous owner has had it for. New battery is on the way.
Tried everything. I flushed official rom form i-Mate and then Mo3ulla's latest and radio 1.15 - no luck. On one of the forums here I've read that taking battery out for about 5 min helps with fast draining, I've tried it and think it did help for a bit (I could be wrong) but then all problems came back.
Problems:
1. Registered applications after working properly for few days - now gives an error that the app license data can not be red.
PBar 1.5 top bar indicator moving around on the bar, it starts in the original right position and then moves to the middle of the bar.
2. "Turn device OFF if not used for"... option in power settings doesn't work - the device never turns off. "Turn backlight off" - works fine.
As Mo3ulla suggested I checked the GSM band settings - it is set for PCS1900 which I believe is correct for T-Mobile USA. Is it?
I just hope is is not a hardware issue as I am in USA and there are no UNI repair shops in the area.
If you have any idea on what to do please let me know as I am close to desperate mode and will try anything at this point.
when my battery started dying at 50% within 2 weeks i could only get 1 1/2 minutes of use out of it. i tried different ROMS, followed the instructions in the wiki but none of that worked for me.
Basically it was just the battery, i have used it everyday for about 2 years so i had my use out of it. I would definately buy a new battery for what they cost. i got mine on ebay for about £7 ($14 or so)
Yep

NEw batter is on the way already, I am just affraid that it is something else, like hardware error, and if that's the case - I am screwed.
I've noticed the same thing with my Universe. It started after new ROM upgrade just 3 days ago.
Best way

no its not hardware .. in your case its battery ... when battery arrives you will need to proper start use it ....
Update: It's alive
Well it is all better now. I installed Mo3ullas v1(not 128 MB) and device behaved much better: "Turn off power" setting worked and all in all this was excellent rom except for one thing - no A2DP. Then I went with Ivan's V1 and it all looks good now, no strange behavior from apps, power of works. A2DP works and so on, so I guess it was the issue of compatibility of Rom and Device. For some reason 128MB roms don't agree with my (and only my) device. I am looking to by the 64MB ram chips and do the upgrade will see what happens. Thank you all for you help.

Mo3ulla could you clarify what you mean by proper start use it?
Also if anyone knows where I can order just a couple of those 64MB chips - would be greatly appreciated. So far all distributors I contacted want to sell them by thousands and the site that was mentioned here (don't remember the url) that does sell them individually wants $80 and that is way too steep.
Hello,
I ve juste bought a nw battery on Qtek website :
http://www.qtek.fr/accessoire-435-427.html
It s impossible to make this battery working.
The WM6 tells me Main battery : unknown
And it can t be fillled.
Even on sector the phone is turning of!!!
I ve heard about a file batdrv.dll.
do you know if a new file could help me.
The only way I ve found to make the battery working is turning on in bootloader mode....
I'd send it back and request a new one or a refund (see below).
Is it an official HTC part? That battery looks exactly like the one I bought from ebay for EUR15 (great deal, even included shipping from HK). It works fine (electronically), BUT with some major issues:
1) The camera opening is open (lens unprotected & dust will get in, I pasted in a bit of transparent plastic but that obviously does not help photo quality)
2) The camera snapshots now have a shadow at the side because the lens opening is too close to the thicker part where the battery is located
Effectively this makes the camera unusable. Not that quality is any good with the original HTC cover, but still...
I was wondering if you had the same problems?
It seems that Qtek.fr are just fakes !
So it mustn't be an offical part of HTC....
And their customer relationship is just horrible!
I have the same problem than you. The cover doesnt stick the lens...but i couldn t try photogrpahs...you kniw why...
Did you manage to make the battery working??????????,,

1) Looks like it, especially for that price!
2) It worked fine as it came in (was 50% charged). The only difference is that my 1800 battery is black.
I am not using it any more because of the reasons mentioned before, and the fact that the shape is not convenient any more. I am considering getting a 1100mAh battery (same size) and just live with the short battery life (maybe 3 full days of light use with 1100), or wait for a better one. I heard mugen are coming out with a 2000 and 3000mAh models. If
Could you tell me some online shops where I can buy a working battery? On HTC website the battery is only in pre-orderind and not available at the moment.

Plenty of shops, but stick to the 900 or 1340 mAh original. I received mine and no problem.

I have a problem "simillar" working with the Adapt Battery pack for HTC Diamond(1800 mAh) (http://www.adapt-mobile.com.tw/mobile/detail.php?p_id=420).
For WM6 this battery is unknown ... and it is not possible to know if it is charging or not.
The phone is OK but the GPS doesn't work properly ... as previously happened with the Clove one
I Bought this one:

Hi!
Has your battery cover a "plastic" to protect the lens hole?
Your cover (http://www.4ustuff.com/product/pic_index/32821.jpg) is "identical" to mine (http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/images/AdaptDiamondBattery_1.jpg).
Is your battery manufactured by Intellect Brothers Co Ltd ? (Printed on the battery front)
Nos vemos
I will take a look later, when I arrive home.
Mine displays charging level.
No manufacturer. Made in China only.
hi,
@nokistein: you said the GPS is working- did you see any delay thats longer for getting the sattelites? or is the signal strength lower?
do you used it with tomtom?
how long does the Battery last in addition to the stock one?
THX,
if this battery is that good, i will buy it to.
the stock one is ugly... i am surfing 20 mins. and then 30 min TomTom and i have to reload the battery....
Greetings!
Kai
No problem at all with GPS. TT works well.
I am making a test to see how much the bat lasts.
Begin it now. Phone and wifi on.

My avatar is not from Movistar... There is only "my provider"
My avatar is WORST: It's the PCDEMANO 's daemon
With my EUR15 1800mAh extended battery from HK I get 5.5h with GPS + screen on (with the original I got 2h max with TT6). That is Sygic MCGuider, diamond laying near a window on a tabel so not actually navigating in a car. I had no problems with GPS reception at all.
As mentioned before my only problem is with the camera because it does not have a protective cam cover (dust gets in), and I get a "shadow" in all images because the bulky extension is slightly in the lightpath of the camera lens.
Well, near 16 hours using only phone and wifi. No calls, no nothing, only phone on every hour.
I have put a piece of a sheet of acetate as cam cover, but I also get the shadow effect JeeHaa said before.
13 € was the price of mine.

Don't meant to go off topic, but on the second link with the GPS Utility pic, where can I find this app as I can't seem to find it and I like the look of it, thanks
Edit - Never mind, just found it, always seem to find what I'm looking for just after I make a post
http://www.efficasoft.com/gpsutilities/index_wm_ppc.html
That is the soft.
Bit of a noob question for my first post - sorry
Bought myself an SPV M5000 (remember them??) running WM6... didn't realise how big this thing was till it turned up
Anyway - the issue - in standby alone I seem to be getting about a days worth of battery out of it before it dies. This is not acceptable.
Running radio version 1.18.00 (Dunno if the rest is important, but ROM 2.07.00 WWE, Protocol 42.54.P8)
Now I've found some archived threads about rolling the radio version back to help solve this - was 1.18.00 one of the problem versions (should have fixed it by now surely??) and if so, how far back should I be looking?
Anything I could/should try before this? and...being really lazy now...could anyone post/show me to an idiot's guide for doing this
Thanks (and I promise to contribute more on future posts...if I don't just bin this paperweight first)

Welcome to the forum
I would recommend you to enter to Universal forum and read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267448
I have heard that some radios drain the battery fastet than others, I´m using 1.08 and my original battery from 2005 last me day and a half using a lot of calls and some BT and WIFI
Good luck and don´t forget to vote!
OMG! Soo much information
Thanks for the steer to the Universal section (may have found that eventually, but god knows how long it would have taken)
3hrs later, I think I've established that although I don't have the randomly dying battery (still going at .... 21%) Radio 1.18 works for others, so I probably do need a new battery - the phone's still got its protective screen covers on it, but that's not to say that the battery was new.
I'll switch back to my Treo (7days+ with use) for now and just use the brick for the SatNav till I get a new battery.
Don't think I'm gonna be able to spare the time to read up on how to do all this flashing stuff safely so hope the new battery works

On Universal forum there is a member called Dukenukem that sells the original ones at good price

First: Yes Exec is a brick and Since I have it, I have given up to carry my 45 Magnum. HTC Universal (Exec) can do the same job
Be Frank IMHO Exec had never good battery live.. I hear some people saying they can last 1-3 days with it, but in my case: Push mail 80-100 mails, calls, a lot reminders and PIM use it has never lasted full one day.
My suggestion to stretch your battery live:
1) Low Phone Signal increase the power connection:
2) Radio Version depends on your service provider or Country.. In some countrys or locations the 118 has no problem but in others it leads to high power consumption or even device freezes. The best thing you can do is try different version and observe your phone Signal; call Quality and Battery live. Here you can find most Radio versions to download: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/
3) Changing frequent location (Driving) also decrease Battery live.
4) Set your Phone Band Manually to GSM or 3G dont use the setting "Auto"
5) Set your backlight settings to min brightness. ( in my case only to first line!!! Lower then that is Darkness)
6) Set Your Beam off to Incoming Beams
8) Backlight Time.. Set to min time ( in my case is 1min after that bcklight goes off)
9)Turn off device if not used... (In my case time: 1 min)
10) Find the Right ROM.. According my experiences some ROMs have high CPU usage.. even though nothing is active but CPU is running high. In most cases Shell32.exe leading to high CPU. ( My current ROM is Tomal 8.5 standard. very happy with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=454906 )
11) If you don’t use push mail or don’t Sync. Kill the process repllog.exe. Again in Some ROM the Activesync. runs even though there is nothing to sync. (Push mail or Desktop Sync.) That leads additional CPU usage and also unnecessarily memory consumption.
At the end you will find out that you might need one more spare battery or one with higher capacity as it has been discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432099.
Furthermore if you plan to carry the exec on your belt you may also need one of these:http://www.suspenderstore.com/susu60.html

Has to be said that comparison isn't a huge amount better, , UK pants are under garments, the outer ones are trousers.

Thanks for the “Pants” correction in British English.
According the Dictionary it seems in American English meaning of Pants can be also trousers. But hey how I would know..English is just my 4th language.
However Somehow I start to miss your connection to female lingerie items. Frankly speaking it appears to me that you did not see the suspender pictures in the link that I have given or else you would have seen those are the one of two straps worn over the shoulders to hold up trousers (pants). I believe to have seen that such suspender are also worn by Skinheads which some call them “the guys with less hair”
In Order to make it short, I suggest after you seen the pictures in the link, if you would still insist that such suspenders are in UK under the category lingerie items then I might need talk to the Web Company that sells those. They have somehow categorised that suspender under “BIG & TALL GUYS suspenders”????
Anyhow you have a Great day
I didi look at the link and hence my comments, i had missed the reference to skinheads, what is being sold as suspenders are called braces in the UK.

Has to be said that comparison isn't a huge amount better, , UK pants are under garments, the outer ones are trousers.
And i am missing the guys with less hair connection, suspenders in the UK are a female lingerie item.

hello deedee one simple question for you. Which UK online store has best range of lingerie items? I hope you will post some quick reply. Thanks in advance
Ive been using Mapyx Quo on my Diamond to do some off roading on my Mountain bike. The trouble is with the GPS switched on I get like an hour and half tops, and thats with the HTC extended battery. Other than buying several batteries, to change on route (which wont help me when logging my route) I thought that I could buy a plug in "booster" battery which will supply a secondary source of power. Can anyone recommend anything. I was after something that would give at least 4 hours, and it doesnt matter if its quite big.
You can get loads of stuff for games consoles but cant find anything that would do it for the Diamond. Maybe I could rig up an old dynamo to charge it as I go !!
maybe something like this ... but for UK supply

Thanks for the tip.
Ended up getting one from Maplins.

Ive only used it once and I was out cycling for approx 2 hours and used up a third of the battery. Reckon I should get about 4 hours in total before my Diamond dies, which quite long enough when mountain biking ! The item itself seems very robust, although light.
You can try this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SCM7880-05-Power4Life-worldplugs/dp/B001C3XN76

My phone constantly runs out of battery when i need it the most.
I have an anycan portable power pack thing allready and its good, however i dont always remember to take it with me.
So im looking for a 2nd one and came across this little thing
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXTERNAL-...303?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item336667368f
Has anyone here purchased one? if so how much of a charge does it give your phone?
Or could anyone give me links to anything similar to the powermonkey for about half the price? and preferably in the UK as im going away in a weeks time.
Thanks
just seen this, sounds good for the money, another listing for the same looking items shows same figures as the power monkey?

This one works very well, much better than that one, i bought it for 20 euro's in a local electronic store, charges it 2,5-3 times from 15-100
Thanks for that. Does it hold enough power to give the desire 1 full charge or more ? ?
And can you plug in your own usb cables or does it have a different connector?
Cheers
I re-read your post last night(2am) and orderd the advanced pack for £19.99.
good price, free post and the item sounds decent!
I should hopefully have it by wednesday/thursday so just in time for me to go away on sunday.
I think you'll already know, you can put any usb(cable) in it, only if you charge the thing itself it uses MINI-usb(not micro like desire) so don't lose that cable and use the one you got.
PS: i don't use the torch but it is a very good one, provides a lot of light.
Yes i read up on it, expansys have posted it out allready so should be with me in time for my trip
I got the advanced kit aswell so im happy about that.
And i have plenty of torches so cant see myself using that much either tbh.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
BIG praise to exansys as i orderd it around 2am yesterday morning and it was waiting for me when i got home from work today.
I will be plugging it in very soon for its 1st 8hr charge as it has no charge at all right now.
I have 1 question for you though TopGear63z, the smaller pouch, is it supposed to be a single compartment pouch or has the lining come away from one side of mine?
Thanks
as you have an advanced kit> you should have such a pouch without it.. the big one is for the thing itself+ the cable> the small one is just for the car charger or on of the other things> so it doesn't need that lining as the big one has.
Im fussy so i will try and get it changed lol
So i gave the thing a full 8 or 9 hours first charge and used it to charge my phone whilst at work today.
Fully charged my phone, choiix unit down to 2leds from 4.
Im really pleased with it and highly recommend it to everyone!!
