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.

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.

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.

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!!!
Hello!
Just noticed this battery on sale at eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-1200mAh-BAT...4|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
I wonder if is this another scam like the "1100" one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445050
Assuming this one is real, would it work with all (incl. non Sprint) Touch Diamonds?
[UPDATE: COMPATIBLE WITH SPRINT DIAMONDS ONLY]
This seller have better reputation than one with fake 1100mAh battery... and it's from UK so can't blame Royal Mail for slow delivery
Since when was California in UK?

Careful buying this for the original Diamond. I think the Sprint version's slightly deeper so might allow for a larger battery? Could be wrong

Oh well... wishful thinking!!
it will be a good idea to change the title of this topic since this is NOT standard size battery for HTC Diamond.
It clearly states in the item description that it only fits the mentioned models.
So if you do buy this for a normal gsm diamond = you will also need to buy a thicker battery cover in order to house it
Good idea to change this thread's title I would think as it may be misleading to some people
Mhh, I bought this battery in Germany. It will arrive next week. I wonder whether this fits into my HTC Victor.

hi man, did you receive the battery ?
Is HTC Victor same with diamond (orange UK ?)
So what happened with this battery?
Hi, any news about your battery, did you receive and test it?
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?

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.

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*****)

-same sizes
-GPS fix-time is the same
-nothing to report

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.
Willem
All,
I managed to source a non-T-Mobile extended battery and cover for my Compact IV. I believe the original costs in the region of £40-£60 (for a 1340 mAh).
I've just purchased at 1800 mAh one for about £12 GBP ($18 USD).
Up until now, I personally was finding it difficult to find a 'replica' extended battery for the Compact IV (different cover to the HTC Diamond of course).
Anyway I thought I'd post some pictures up if people wanted to see.
I won't post a link to where I got it because I haven't tested the performance of it (just received it 30 mins ago!).
My usage is pretty heavy where the original 900 mAh would barely last me 8 hours on a good day.
I will post back results later if anyone is interested.
[UPDATE 27-03-2009]
Well I've been using the battery for a few days and of course it is as expected far better than the original. I haven't tested it with any perfomance software tools, just real life usage.
Full charged at 8am, the battery would easily last me 48 hours. Over this period I had a data connection always on (Exchange and personal IMAP). Just for testing purposes, I had the GPS (Tomtom) running for an hour, browsed the internet for a total of about an hour, plus the general calls and SMSs made/received.
Just one little thing: I had to remove the sticker around the battery because the cover simply would not close, I instead used sticky labels to cover it and now it fits like a glove! I personally think the whole unit feels better in the palm of hand with the extra thickness.
Overall, so far, I am impressed with this battery.
cool, i'm interested to hear your feedback once you use it for a while. thanks for posting the pictures.
Sh500,
Please give us a link to where you bought the battery, I'm really need one!

I'm a bit concern about removing this sticker around the battery, would this effect the battery in anyway? Did the seller not test to see if the cover closes with this battery?

This is the best cover design which i have seen
I also bought this same battery from the same supplier on e**y, and first day use already a vast improvement on the pathetic original. Fully charged from new this morning, 1 hour mp3 listening, plenty of emails, web-surfing, phone calls, etc and battery power has dropped by 3 bars, normally its virtually dead by now with the standard battery. I would consider myself a heavy user. The battery cover feels a bit plasticy (but seems strong enough) and as was said in the opening post you do need to peel the stickers off the battery to make the cover fit the phone (voiding any warranty for the battery) but for the price I think this is a winner. The extra-thick case feels a bit cumbersome at first but quickly got used to it. Overall so far so good and this is going to be used a lot when I am unsure when I can next get to a charger.
Hi,
Any updates on batery usage?
Can one of you measure the adittional size with new battery in mm or whole phone thicknes?
I would like to buy the same battery, but I have a dillema. I bought HTC original car phone holder, CU S170 witch looks like this: http://www.mobilesupplies.nl/holder-touch-diamond-s170-with-charger-pi-8691.html
I wonder, if phone with this 1800 mAH battery will fit to the holder
Also is there big diference between this 3rd party 1800mAH battery and HTC extendet 1340 mAH.

The thickness is a maximum of 16mm (tried to measure it with a ruler so not the most accurate!)
Yep I'm in the same situation with the car holder, I've got the same holder as you but one that mounts on the car vent. With the extended battery, your device will not fit the holder as there is no additional clearance on the holder.
I think it will be a while until someone manufactures a holder with additional clearance (perhaps a spring loaded back bit) to allow for such upgrades.
Ive been searching for another holder but the only ones that seem to do the job would be the universal 'gripper' ones - these are very ugly in my opinion but currently I don't have much choice! May submit a new post in the section.
I've been using my device for almost a week now and the battery life is consistently better than the original one. Even if I seriously abuse it running different things it would still last be close to 24 hours.
I can't comment on the 1340 mAh.
THIS CAR HOLDER MAY FIT:
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch Diamond-Brodit-Holder.asp
It seems like it has the extra clearance and in the description it states "this kit should accommodate all battery sizes". I wonder if any with a Brodit holder can confirm this? But looking at the pictures there seems like plenty of clearance.
Quite expensive though!

Thanks for reply,
I almost decided to by the original HTC extended battery, becouse of the thicknes, as I read it last about 50% more than original, so that should be bearible it's about two days Not compromizing looks of the phone that much!
Now there is still a issue with the car phone holder, becouse I realy like the holder I got, you can use it in horizontal posittion as a vertical. And I like the build and aesthetic look of it.
There is a small bumps on it, to fit the phone better, maybe if I remove them I can fit my phone with HTC extendet battery in it. Or maybe it would fit anyways without remowing them (picture attached)
As I read, the phone with original battery 900 mAH is 11.85 mm thick, and with extendet 1340 mAH battery is 14.40 mm thick.
So would be nice, if someone could post feedback with original HTC car phone holder, and HTC extendet battery. DOES IT FIT OR NOT

Like i said, I have the same mount as you and there doesn't seem like extra clearance behind. I would be surprised if the 1340 battery would fit even with the extra bit taken off, you need about 3mm extra. Plus you dont want it too tight so as it would scrape against the edges everytime you took the phone in and out of the holder. But see if anyone else replies I guess.
I know Brodit do two specific holders for the Diamond, one for the 900mAh and another for the 1340 mAh.

As you've seen my HTC pouch I use at work, I'd like to know before I purchase this battery that if it'll fit into this leather pouch?
If you can't remember, I'v attached a simillar pouch from Google image.

I'd like to know this answer as well. I would assume the extended battery would make the device look as the size of the TouchPro.

It's difficult to judge the thickness of that pouch just from the picture. I still have my mate's Touch Pro with me and it is about 2-3 mm thicker than my MDA C4.
Nobe question: I'm assuming that's with the 1800 mAh battery on your phone? lol!

Yes D8LOM, this whole post is about the 1800 mAh battery - I wouldn't be comparing it to the stock battery would I!
Thank you for the confirmation sh500!

Sh500,
The eBay seller's link you provided on post 4 has gone away (finished selling) but I've found another similar battery. Can you please confirm if that's exactly the same or if it's the same seller?

Co-sign this statement. If any1 can confirm then I will probably BUY.
hi, what is the biggest battery / biggest capacity you can buy that you can use with the standard HTC case?
i would like to buy an original battery after reading peoples comments about GPS and excessive heat, and i dont want to make the phone any bigger.
the htc website has the 1100mah as a direct replacement. although is it really going to make much difference going from 900mah to 1100mah... what real world difference is it going to make? like 2 hours?
i think its strange how no-one knows this.
The move from 900 to 1100 would be very minimal.
Just get a 1340? It really doesn't make it too thick.
I ordered this one.... 1500maH....
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce..._1_2?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1249321047&sr=8-2
It says I dont need a need back cover and it fits properly in existing space. Have not received it yet. I had to get it for the wife as I have moved on to the TD2 and she is using my TD now with the old batt which is on it's last legs....
Double post... sorry...
eskasi, let us know if it fits.
Thanks
I think 1340 mAh is the battery with most power you can get into a standard back case. I'm gonna order a 1800 in few days (http://www.mytrendyphone.se/shop/batteri-htc-touch-14547p.html) and that really needed a new back case, tho I don't think it will look too bad, will be easier to hold the phone and stuff.
@ArtieQ:
I wouldn't buy that battery if I was you.
You should check my 1800mAh battery + new back cover:

Where did you get that one? Looks pretty nice, especially the none glossy back cover.
@ArtieQ::
I got it from here:

You should check the seller that its cover is compatible with your HTC Diamond ( mine is O2 Ignito )

has this arrived yet? mind giving us some feedback? looks good, ive got an ignito aswell
@Srem:
My English is not good so I can't give clear feedback - I hope that you can understand what I say:
1. The battery is bigger - must change the back cover ( included ). My diamond is more heavy and now I can take it more easier in my palm.
2. I can use Engery Rom nearly 4 days with new battery - or 6 days with new Cloudyfa's rom ( I've just tested with Phone function only )
3. Have no problem with GPS with new cover.
4. It isn't hot when do reset / hard-reset.
kinda new to modding of phones so just wondering if this will work with my phone or not, ive got the p3051
Hi everyone,

The HTC Touch Diamond Sprint is more rounder than HTC Touch Diamond.
By the way....
Does anyone knows if HTC Touch Diamond Battery size is the same for HTC Touch Diamond Sprint (or HTC Touch Diamond Pro) ??
Also, anyone who has bought the 1500 mAh can tell if the battery is good and if it fits on the HTC Diamond?
