hell no, the thinner the better....
yeah i agree.. but it depends on how much thicker the phone is and how bad the existing battery is. At least it won't look ugly with a big ass bulge like some of the other aftermarket batteries
Play.com have the standard battery for £14.99. Out on the 9th
I have 2 on order!! Hehe

battery charging
How are you planning to charge your two extra batteries when you get them? I went through this on the Kaiser and it is kind of a pain to swap them out just to recharge them. Eventually I bought a third party charging stand with an external battery charger but, after two replacements that did not charge the battery, I gave up. Based on my three days with the standard battery, I would say it woud be a good idea to wait and get the dimensions of the extended battery. I have seen my battery getting drained in 3-4 hours (reminds me of the xda-flame).

Yes, but it's possible to make OEM-sized extended batteries... I'm carrying one on my Treo right now, just 25% more battery life.
Seidio does it., just wait.
iPower Pro PoGo
While on the road I'm using the iPower Pro PoGo to change my Diamond. I use an dual usb adapter that simultaneously allows charging and the use of the wired headset.
The PoGo is flat, 1/3" x 2" x 3 1/2", has a standard usb connector for the standard Diamond usb cable and it has at least 20 hours worth of extra charge. It fits nicely in my bag which I carry with me everywhere I go.

The vendor says:
Charging tips for iPod , Sony PSP , Blackberry (all models), Treo 600(s)/700(s), Moto RAZR (V3), Samsung , Nokia , Sony Ericsson phones and other devices that use a mini-USB charging port
So if it is only for mini-USB ports, how can you plug it into the HTC 11 pin connection?

For charging/synching, the HTC 11-pin IS the miniUSB port.
The extra features that the HTC 11-pin connector (aka extUSB) is that it transports audio as well.
ExtUSB is one reason why I am HTC hardare fo' life.
But yes, anything that can be charged via USB and MiniUSB, can be charged via ExtUSB. Heck, I charge mine with an old Blackberry charger that is 5v @ .5mAh instead of 1mAh.

I hadn't thought about that but It really isn't going to be often that I will need more that one battery, I am only getting them for when I am out walking and I know its gonna be a long day, nice to have spares! and I will just charge them in the phone the night before!!
I will defiantly be getting an extended one if they ever come out too but for £14.99 each now you can't knock that!!
Rich
got a message from seido.
they will have diamond stuff the end of july. so hopefully the will have an oem battery with more capacity.

What I meant is that phisically you cannot connect a standard mini USB charger into the Diamond's 11 pin input. As the vendor says the do not provide an adaptor for HTC devices, so maybe he is using some extra stuff purchased somewhere.

i am not sure if we are talking about the same thing here.
but if you turn around your standard mini usb connection, you can insert it into the 11-pin usb and charge your phone, exchange data (depends on the quality of your cable), active sync etc.
you do not need the 11 pin usb connector for this.

There is definitely going to be an extended battery. Also to answer the question above there is also going to be a separate battery charger, so you can charge the battery in the phone and another one in the charger at the same time. Should satisfy most peoples requirements.
And to pre-empt the "how do you know" questions, its all on HTCs Diamond accessories page...
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=163250
Ok, the extended battery isn't there yet, but the desktop charger states that it has two insert covers, one for normal battery and one for extended battery. Also those inserts can be bought separately.
I`ve just bought this from Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-Battery-De...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262
Works fine and for the total price of £10.98 for 2 batteries and a charger it seemed a bargain.
The only gripes I have are the HTC cable doesn`t fit the charger, it needs a mini USB cable which luckily I have several of. Also the 3 Leds for showing the charging state are very bright and light up the room.

It is supposed to export VIDEO also.
I saw somewhere a picture of the cradle with a HTC usb to Cinch original cable. (there is another thread on Video-out debate)
Has anyone heard anything more about the Seidio OEM size extended battery?
They'll sell Thousands!
Just went in to carphone warehouse who have started to stock the energizer xp1000 for 20 quid. Looks good, they will do this and the barely there cover for 27 quid.
Any thoughts on the charger.

Guys I went through about 4 different battery type chargers which ran of AA's and all sorts. All were useless and generated more heat than delivered juice to my Desire.
On the plus note I eventually found http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-30423-USB-Turbocharger-3400/dp/B002DYGQI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276088348&sr=8-1
This is good enough to give me two full charges before having to charge the charger. Its a real neat piece of kit and works very well.

ordered, thanks.
I have a Just mobile Gum pro - it's 4400 mAh capacity and can charge pretty much anything that you can charge over usb. You recharge the pack over mini usb (mains or PC)
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=166301
I use it with my iPod touch, MiFi and my desire and it works great, outputs at 1000mA so the desire sees it as mains charging.
I haven't needed it much with the desire yet as I have mains chargers at home and and in the office but with my G1 I got 3 full charges of the phone before having to recharge the Gum pro. It's pretty compact too so not a problem to keep in my gadget bag.
Hope this helps
I got this one for a while now
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des
and works great. Charges several devices and it has 3400mAh capacity, which is ~2.5 times full recharging Desire.

i bought a charger from ebay, from gpsforless-uk, cant put a link up cos am a new user.
have a look for HTC emergency charger on ebay.kuk. its like a small square white box, comes with loads of attachments for ipods etc
great little charger with lots of attachments and very small.

How much longer would your battery last with something like this? 350mAh doesn't sound like much... Of course it's pretty small, which is something.
This emergency charger! Is small, and should take an hour of call , no? and it's have small LED
this one?
well it's only 1700mAh for 15Ł, while you can get double 3400mAh for 20Ł. hehe.[/QUOTE]
thats the one i have, its the size that matters to me personally, its diddy.
true, but the larger capacity charger is much larger in size ie the size of the phone anyway, doesnt look pocketable to me.
i also cant envisage a time when i would need the larger capacity, ie i have a car charger, the stock charger and the emergency charger.

seems decent.
I got this one for free:
http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/power-solutions/rechargeable-power-pack-sce4420_10/prd/ie/
but it doesn't come equipped with micro usb tip, where can i get interchangeable micro usb tip? tried ebay no luck
Hi, I just got the Proporta listed here:
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4661&t_mode=des
and it is great, couldn't ask for anything more. Small, nice looking, seems solid and comes with all the tips you can think of.
I bought the Energizer XP4001:
amazon.co.uk/Energizer-XP4001-Portable-Emergency-Battery/dp/B0029U2WUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276948983&sr=8-1
After 3 or 4 recharging cycles I found out it charges my Desire fully only one and a half times, so I'm little bit disappointed. Is this normal? I thought it should recharge it at least 2 and a half times * 1400 mAh = 3500 mAh. The battery is 4000 mAh, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any suggestions besides returning it? I'll be travelling abroad soon and I'm not sure that if I purchase another battery it will come on time for my trip.

I find that iphone have an 2000mAh Rechargeable External Battery Pack that atached like a silicone case mix with car docking in Dealextreme see the link:

it look like it can be a good Accessorie for the desire but I can't find one like this for the Desire
since you are from israel.... you have got some kind of Energizer power pack it cost around 100 nis but it is not a good looking one but it is use-full
HI
Don't Know if it's still relevant but I bought PortaPow external battery charger, with 3000mah capacity. They also have cases that charge the phone, even with solar power - I loved them a lot.
A bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.
http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/usbliionbatterypack.htm
Dan
looks usefull !
thanx for the link
I just ordered mine, it should recharge my Desire 3 times.
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=5330&t_mode=des
One thing you guys might be overlooking is that the sated capacity for most of these power packs is at the batteries 3.7v. The unit then has to turn the 3.7v to 5.5v which will mean the actually mah you will get out of the device to your phone will be lower.
Still useful though if your battery dies!
Phil
Im in the process of making something simular, it wont be pretty but it will do the job.
I have ordered a 4x "C" Cell battery holder, that I will wire to a USB cable.
I have a few C Cell 3000mAh rechargables @1.2v each.
1.2x4=4.8V. I figure, this should be close enough to provide power into the desire.
It wont be pretty, but it should charge the battery of the phone a few times when im out for a few days
Total cost will be way less than the cost of the ones you buy.
Thanks for the links. Still deciding which one to get. Anyone have any experiences with the above?
I'm looking to buy a GOOD wall charger (the one which charges a battery rather than the phone), how is the Zerolemon one that comes with the 3000 mAh batteries? Or could you guys suggest another good one?
I bought one from Dealextreme, but it feels weak and doesn't connect perfectly. I want a fast, solid charger.
Thanks

Hi guys
I wanted to ask which powerbank capacity do you recommend for the note 4 for at least one full charge ? I bought one from deboch 6000mha but I will send it back because its too big.
I've just ordered an Anker Astro 5200mAh:
https://www.anker.com/products/A1211012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frhehPIqFKE
It seems that you actually get at most about 75% of the stated capacity from a powerbank (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4arPh-ch8). Even if you only get 66% of usable capacity from a 5200mAh Powerbank (as the video suggests), that should give approximately 3400mAh which is enough to charge a Note 4 from 0% to 100% (battery capacity of a Note 4 is 3220mAh).
The Astro 5200 is very pocketable at 5 x 3.4 x 1.7 inches, comes with a net travel pouch, and a USB cable, but I bought one of these tiny USB cables to use with it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131876034528
You need a powerbank that holds a larger charge than the battery of your device in order for it to get a complete charge. I'd suggest getting a power bank with at least 3500mAH capacity.

Much more pocketable and guaranteed one full charge is a spare battery! Only downsides are you can't be a good Samaritan and share and you can't use it on your next gadget

Yea, I have a spare battery too, and an external charger - I like to keep my options open, but it can be a bit of a nuisance removing my UAG case so sometimes a charger is handier.
terratec powerbank p4. used it at my holiday trip and holds the phone at full power more than whole day long using pokemon go ;D.

RAVPower's 20100mah has been great for me, and includes Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB Type C support: https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cer...qid=1471276085&sr=8-2&keywords=ravpower+20000
xiaomi 20.000 mAh will be the best : )
http://xiaomi-mi.com/powerbanks/xiaomi-mi-power-bank-20000mah-white/
OP is looking for something SMALLER than a 6000mah Deboch, so suggestions for units over that size won't do. I've received my 5200mah Anker Astro E1 (mentioned above) and can confirm that it fully charges my Note 4 with a little to spare. It has a 2A output so charges quite quickly. Very pocketable and highly recommended, probably the best size/capacity ratio for carrying in your pocket:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-5200mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B00P8SY7HQ/
Having used a few Anker, revspec and kasmish. I know i spelled most of those wrong. But they are all in the 10k mah range.
All of them will easily charge your battery 2-3 times. However some claim 2A but just isn't as fast. I much spend a little more money on a Quick charge 2.0 certified one. Quick charge 3.0 is out for a handful of new phones but the note 4 doesn't support it and most are lik the $50+ range.
Get a QC2.0 small 10k and your covered til the end of the phone life. They will run you $15-30. They are roughly double the size of your note 4 in thickness and thats it. If you can pocket your note 4, you can pocket the battery. But i normally pocket the battery pack and hold the phone. I keep it in the bag tho.
This to me is the best and future proof method. A spare battery is the fastest to go from 0-100 but w/o a spare battery charger, it could be annoying as well as it only works on the note4.

Xiaomi 20 000 mah. It has fast charge
If that's just for your phone, get a spare battery or two. Preferably with an external charger.
If you got your Note4 when it came out and use it regularly, your battery is probably significantly degraded by now or is starting to do so. So buy that new battery.
If you intend to do so, stay away from those cheap "Samsung" batteries on Amazon or eBay. These are all likely to be fakes or rejects. Either buy real (expensive) ones in retail packaging or reputable third party brands.
