hi,
i visited this link and saw the 1400mAh battery or the Qtek 2020, wanted to know, if anyone has used this, and if so, how reliable is it, and how much is the increase in battery power ?

Thanks
mani
I have it
I have had it for some while now. It certainly works ok, but as normal when you have the other one in the charger you do not remember if it last longer than the original one. If I had been a scientist I would have tried out how many minutes of music it lasted compared to the original but I am not.
I'm thinking of getting one as well.
Way cheaper on ebay - about $20US
extended battery for xdaII

Where on ebay have you seen them for that price? I can't find any! :shock:

Thanks Dyntak!
Have ordered 2
Any chance you can do a test to compare results against the standard 1200mAh version?
Also, could you let us know what ROM version you're running for the test as that will make a difference too.
Thanks!
Any updates
Any one have any updates on the 1400mah vs 1200mah battery?
You can get 2400mAh batteries if you don't mind the extra bulge in the back.
Hey folks, i just received a email that expansis has shipped out my 1340 mAh battery incl a new cover. This could mean that the battery is finally availiable in germany! looking forward to test it!
is this battery shipped with the backside cover? If yes, is this cover fitting on a O2 XDA diamond?
Hi! I own a o2 XDA Diamond, and yes it is shipping with a fitting backside cover! Here is the link to expansis, remember this is no ad:
http://www.expansys.ch/p.aspx?i=166204
that cover wount fit on your xda diamond!
check this post to compare the backsides: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2605740&postcount=19
Sad to hear this man... has anyone a link to a product 1340mAh or 1700 mAh with a cover that fits my GERMAN VERSION of the XDA Diamond from o2?
I will receive my battery incl. cover the next days, email's out for me as well. I am curious to see, what is different. I just hope, that one can still use it...
Anyone already tried?
Also got an email from Expansys today, should receive mine on Monday .
have been using the offical 1340mAh battery for 2 weeks now.
it gives new life to my Diamond, I bought a Samsung Omnia because of its big battery and were going to sell my Diamond. But then I found Omnia is not as easy to use (only its camera is better than Diamond). I bought the battery before I sold my phone, and I end up sell the Omnia.
How much thicker does the Diamond get with the 1340mAh battery?
I wonder it is same as Touch Pro since they share the same battery. Why not trying Mugen 1000 mAh standard size battery? It really improves and worth trying if you still prefer slim size of Diamond.
if i remember correctly, the extended battery is +3mm and the original size is 11mm so that makes it 14mm. while the Touch pro is 18mm.
hey. received my ext. battery today.
german o2 xda owners: hands off! it doesn't work in our phone. i mean, it works, but you won't be able to put your cover on. it doesn't fit.
anyone in germany with original diamond in need for ext. battery? 40€ incl shipping to germany
and yes, it makes the "original" diamond around 3mm thicker!
I thought O2 Germany was going to release an expanded battery itself....what happened to that project ? They said "end of August"

yes, the new 1340mAh battery is indeed the same one used by the Touch Pro.
How much help would the extra 100mAh do? not much I guess.
I also have the o2 XDA Diamond (should be with me this week) and was looking for another battery - found a few for the for the HTC but now I know the backs are different this will be hard - I originally thought of ebay - but having second thoughts now
Has anyone got a link for the extended battery and back for the O2 version of this phone please
In Germany I found some threads before the following link for the extended battery for the XDA Diamond:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=173907
But for me it's too expensive, too.
and that is not the original extended battery. it's thicker than the 3mm people talked about. the phone looks hideous with those inofficial extended batteries.
Hi Everyone,
Any one got this already:
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/T-M...OMPACT_IV_OFFICIAL_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
It says: In Stock
Can anyone please share some views about performance (GPS,camera, etc.)?
And, what is the most important, does it significantly improve everyday device life?
Thanks.
ooo nice, though that is alot of money for only 1/3rd increase in power,
hi,
yeah, I personally think the price is horrendous.
that is why I want to check whether it`s worth that price.
For £50 you can get 10x 900mAh batteries plus charger ;-))
actually a 50% increase in battery life. i have the Dianond version - well worth the money in my opinion.
Is there anybody who knows when to buy in Germany?

Ok,
I was waiting long enough now, hoping I will get cheaper one from eBay.
I`ve found only 1 seller offering 1800 mAh with ugly humpy cover, so I`ve decided to go for Expansys original one.
Ordered on 1st of Jan, paid £62 with delivery (bit expensive, but I`ll put it on as the Xmas present for myself ), expecting it tomorrow.
I`ll put some photos probably tomorrow evening and put few words about its performance later on (I need to test it first).
Happy New Year to all!

Expansys runs the business all around the world, I`m sure what they offer in the UK is available in Germany as well.
There you go mate: http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=171125
It is 63.99 Euro + delivery.
Cheers.
If I have the T Mobile version (MDA) and I got the Diamond back cover... would it fit?

Hi,
No, I`m affraid it won`t fit. MDA Compact IV has rounded corners, while Diamond is strict rectangle.
There were a few threads about it already.
Hi,
Got this one from GPSforless
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....name=STRK:MEWNX:IT&viewitem=&salenotsupported
and it fits the MDA Compact and the GPS seems to work.
Will post once I have used it a bit.
Regards
Hi,
Did a Tom Tom test today. Basically Tom Tom running in demo mode, but with a GPS signal (varied from 3 to 6 sats), backlight on auto. GPRS was on and email was downloading every two hours, weather every hour. Got a total of 5.5 hours. Battery percentages for each hour shown below.
1.93%
2.64%
3.55%
4.44%
5.20%
I did a test with the standard battery before and it was about 2.5 hours.
My MDA Compact III used to get only 4.5 hours so with the extended battery the MDA Compact IV is actually better!!
The extra bulk may be an issue for some I suppose, though I will mainly use this battery for GPS use on my bike. The normal battery usually runs okay for me on day to day use of the phone.
Regards

OK, I`ve been using this extended battery for 10 days now.
With 10 texts, 20 minutes of calls a day and 3G switched off it lasts for 3 full days (72h), which I find is very good, compared to 30h on original battery.
The new cover looks very good. It has black/mate finish and has got an ornament (see photos).
My MDA Compact IV is about 3mm thicker and a bit heavier, but it hasn`t lost his sleek and flat look, which was the reason I bought MDA Compact not Daimond. Also, I`ve got a feeling that new size and weight makes it is laying better in my hand.
I had to go for another car holder. First, I though that my Compact with new battery (thicker) will fit into cradle for Touch Pro, but NOT, it was too loose.
So, I`ve bought universal one that will fit from small Nokia to big PDA (can give link to ebay seller, if anyone is interested).
I think the new battery+cover is worth its money.
Cheers.
more photos
here are more photos chaps.
I forgot to add:
It is ORIGINAL HTC extended 1340mAh battery with new back cover, especially for T-Mobile MDA Compact IV.
Very good quality, not cheap HK stuff. And NO AWFUL HUMP!
GPS works OK, absolutely no change compared to the original 900mAh.
No other issues noticed.
I`ll keep you updated when I notice anything.
Very helpful, thanks Tom - I think I might go for this. From where did you purchase the battery/cover? Also, do you have the original HTC pouch - does it still fit inside?
Thanks

Hi,
There are two on-line shops offering these extended capacity batteries:
Easydevices - http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/T-M...OMPACT_IV_OFFICIAL_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
Expansys - http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=171125
I went for one with Expansys, it is a bit dearer than Easydevices one, but I found Expansys more trustworthy and besides if you look at "Easydevices Terms & Conditions", you will notice that if you (for some reason) have changed your mind and want to send it back, they will deduct 20% as a "administration charge", so they will refund price minus 20%, which you can calculate yourself easily.
I didn`t know what I`m gonna get buying over the net, in terms of quality and peformance, cos I couldn`t find any opinions, nor feedback.
So in case, I didn`t like it I went for Expansys one, they don`t do such a "small print tricks".
It will fit original pouch, but for me it`s a bit too tight, especially when someone is calling you and you strugling to take it out to answer.
I`m using "temporary" pouch at the moment - it is SonyEricsson`s and still looking for a nice sleek leather one that will fit my new fatty toy.
That looks sleeker than my "hump" back. Although I personally wanted the double capcity so it does not bother me so much.
Regards

Yeah, but there is no photo and it doesn`t even say what kind of backcover is included - with ugly hump or flat?
Is there any one, who went for it, to share some info?
I received mine for my mda C.IV last monday and after a week of use, it was worth every penny. It took a day or 2 to get use to the 3mm addition but i now get 2-3 days use out of my phone between charges were before i barley got 1. Highly advise everyone with battery issues to get one!!!
Hi,
Can anyone inform me where I can get spares for Vox (basically I am looking for Extended battery).
BTW I do not know if it is the right place to post this thread
No chance. You cannot even get the regular battery of Vox anywhere in Kolkata. Its only available usually at HTC service centre but presently they are also running out of stock.
The only option to buy is online.

So much for being in the largest upcoming mob market. , guess I will have to get the way you have advised. Thanks for the super fast answer. BTW can you suggest any site (s)?
Thanks in advance
you can get the battery from the hong kong based manufacturer cameron sino.
i had my battery replaced at the HTC service center last week.
There is no shortage as such.
cameron sino has 2 batteries for Vox.
1100maH and 2250 maH
Cameron Sino site not loading. You can also get the same batteries here.

Prajith, I need battery for my HTC S710. I checked with nearby HTC Service centre in NCR Delhi. Its not available right now. They told cost 1300 INR approx.
Which option is better? To go for online purchase from megacapcity OR cameron sino OR to buy from HTC service centre only.
How about 2250mAh battery with extended cover? does it look odd or not comfortable? How about performance?
I recd my 1100mah battery from "megacapacity" in 16 days. It is working well and giving me 1.5 days for normal usage with lefab clean 1.2 ROM.
The OP e-mailed me since I have 2 2250mAH batteries I am looking to sell, never got back to me unfortunately. I packaged them all up for him, just waiting for payment.

The problem is I have a ICICI bank Debit card and that f***ing card can not be used in Paypal or for that matter for any online transaction (even though they claim its an international debit card) . If you have a postal address, then I will be more than happy to send you draft in that address. I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
E-mail is on it's way. No worries about it, boss.
h4waii
Its true i mailed you for the battery. After a couple of nails from both sides you just said that you are getting more in ebay than what i have offered and you will revert back if it is not sold through ebay. So no question of packing and waiting for my payment.

Hi,
I'm looking for a standard-size battery with more than 900mAh, with no effects on GPS performance, possibly cheap (am I asking too much? !-))
Do you have any suggestion?
Do you have any trusted ebuyer?
Thanks

http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BASI15HTCX1
Here you go. I have used seidio batteries in all my phones they are of good quality. the 1500mah is for a diamond that already has the extended back the 100mah is for the slimmer diamond
thanks for the info. I was actually gonna start a thread on this.
so, should i assume that there are no batteries available from HTC that fits into the diamond without the need for a thicker back cover, apart from the 900maH ?
The first suggested link is about a 1000 mAh battery that "Fits in existing space" ... but 34$ + shipping it's too expensive for me
What about 900mAh ebay's battery? Are they similar to the original one?
To date i have not seen anything from htc that does'nt require a new battery cover. I myself am not to keen on purchasing random batteries from ebay. I like most fell for the 1100mah battery scam in the link bellow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445050
After waiting more than a month i received a battery that was a supposedly 1000mah. After a week of use its worst than the original battery. The other batteries ive researched disrupt the gps or have a monstrous hunchback battery cover instead of a smooth flat battery cover. Your only other choice would be expansys

... I wrote to 5 users that bpught this battery
has anyone used this 1200mAh battery? can they confirm it actually is 1200 and fits into the OEM Slim cover?
if so this can probably solve a lot of peoples battery issues
I don't know much about battery making, but with the standard size of the diamond battery, about how much juice can they honestly pack in there? Wouldn't you think that HTC would pack in a beefier battery if they could? I mean, they did released the 1350mah extended battery but it comes with a new back cover...so I don't know if we're being screwed again with the 1200mah battery from the link above.
I wrote to a buyer and he told me that this battery fits perfect and it's very good, I'm thinking to buy it, but I don't know if this seller ship worldwide... maybe you could ask him. Bye.

I recived the first response (from gabl****):
-It fits perfectly
-It lasts 30% more (more or less)
-Any problems
He has been using this battery for a month
hum nice if it is true, it is a really good deal !
It's seems to be too good to be a true especially after latest scam.
I don' t speak Italian but it's seems that the seller does't ship internationally.
I recived the second reply (from roll*****)
-it lasts more
-same sizes
-GPS fix-time is the same
-nothing to report
... it sounds good!
2 new replies from new_h******* and
massimil********
new_h******* says that the battery lasts less than the original one!!!
massimil******** says that the battery lasts the same than the original one
Lol maybe it is a 900mAh inside, like the other topic
Here you can even find a 1340mAh battery in the standard size at least thats what they say when I emailed them.
