I need your help finding replacement battery

Hi all,
I need help to find a replacement battery to fit my phone as the manufacturer refuses to provide replacement batteries even though when you buy the phone they promise to give you support, but that is democracy and capitalism for you! Daylight robbery!
Now, rant over, I would like to entreat you for help with finding a compatible battery for my phone.
Here is the spec:

· battery li-ion - 3.7V - 1500mAh
· size 4.3cm x 6.3cm and less than 0.5cm thick
· the contact strip is made of 3 little golden rectangles located along one of the shortest sides (top left when you look at it bottom side up, if you know what I mean)
So, please, take a look at your own battery and tell me if I have a match.
Here I stop, in hope, willing you to help the little group of fools that bought this phone and don’t want rid of it as yet!

This is for the Ubiquio 503G, right? Usually you can find a battery on eBay for almost anything, but none for this phone are listed.
I was kind of interested in this phone - looks nice. Seems like it never took off in sales - already shown as clearance at MobileCityOnline, and listed for $389.95 at expansys-usa. Forums at expansys seem to indicate a lack of manufacturer support, which parallels your experience.
Would be interested to hear how you like the phone, how it performs, etc.
Happy Hunting!

My experience of Ubiquio 503g

I've bought it because of the form factor as I was used to Treos before and thought it was a good substitute form-wise.
I am not a heavy-duty user so my experience in using it is more on the media, some simple games and phone side and for my kind of use it is OK.
For games, the screen is very small.
The screen has good definition but the fonts in large size are still very small for my liking. I wish I could change resolution.
Most software will work but some have difficulties in handling landscape as default direction and will turn on screen.
The ROM they’ve put in is very memory hungry and eats up lots of the huge memory available. You end up with not very much available to the end user.
We’ve tried to get Ubiquio to release a trimmed down version of the ROM that would release more memory.
Also, the phone’s hardware is set in a way that you need a special type of cable to update the radio and another to update ROM. People often get it wrong and not all phones sold come with this special cable. They don’t sell it as a separate part either.
The software they supply to upload the new ROM to the phone is not created by the same company and it ceased to work after a while (time limited availability) and they don’t seem to bother with that.
All in all, we are up a creek without a paddle! NO hope of a cooked ROM for us because the geeks ran a mile from this one and nobody seems able to crack the code.
Do I need to say more?

I can't believe there is none! Pleeese! So sad!

Last bump! Bump! Bump!
Looks like I'm belly dancing! Bump! Bump!

Apparently, the battery for the Tytn has the same dimensions and spec of mine but I could not find a picture of the metal contacts. Can anybody oblige? Thanks

im having the same issue. i cant find a replacement battery for the 503g.
its crazy how expansys is not providing a replacement battery for one of their devices.

1800 mAH battery for diamond + you dont like pretty things

With this ugly battery package, you can turn your beautiful diamond into a sea turtle~ LOL
Do you like to have one?

These or a kick in the head..just don't know what to choose...

I don´t get it why people want to use things for something they are not designed for. The Diamond is small and has a lot of features but little space comes up with some disadvantages as there are always some. Designing things is always a task of making compromises. The Diamond is pretty thin so it can´t have a long battery stamina. Ok that´s the way it is and that´s the way I like it. If you need more battery capacity choose another device but don´t make this nice Diamond to bulky, ugly piece of brick!

it is so damn ugly!!! i rather wait for the one from HTC.

Nice when you are taking pictures. You always see the top of the battery.

even more of reason not to get one!!!
(not that i was even considering it a tiny bit)

That's UGLY ..

bloody hell
that would make the diamond look like one ugly freak!

Is it the new HTC Touch Panzer ?

Is this a bad joke or something
i cant believe that anyone who likes his diamond is going to buy this ugly piece of s*#t. If you need extra power,just go and buy a spare standard battery! I did. i would rather walk around with an extra tiny battery than a big ungly diamond.

I doubt that's for real... photoshop may be?

i don't understand why they didn't copy the same stock back cover form factor, made it 2-3mm thicker, and fit a long battery under it.
think letter P rotated 90 degrees right?

I like it...............

im not sure if there is a reason that the battery cannot be an odd shape?
but a P shaped battery would certainly be big enough to hold a decent amount of juice.
Handy for those long weekends away

It would probably have serious heat issues and the cost of making a proprietary battery would jack the price up too.

I was thinking about an L or P shaped battery also. he problem is it cant go up because of the camera and it cant go down because thats where the catch for the battery cover is.

I've just noticed this extended battery on ebay. Those Chinese are dead clever - it lasts about 500 years apparently

better one

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says

I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this

one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased

But "what if" that is not a connector?

any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors

what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

but check again samsung video

they are on the power button side

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.

i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

It's real.

Comparison.

It's actually japanese.

is that chrome around the phone
if so yuck
still want though

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48
I think the phone is too long... =T

PowerSkin® for HTC Desire HD & Inspire 4G

Alright folks, don't know if this has been discussed before, and frankly I can't browse through threads atm looking for it, so here it is. It's a a power case for your Desire HD/Inspire 4G with an extended 1500mAh battery to make your life easier.
I've tested it some time ago but never got the chance to actually post anything about it because I just don't get enough time. The case is very rigid and provides the ultimate protection for your device. The only downside is the fact it is enormous.

The price varies between $40 and $47 so if you think this can help save your phone, go ahead and buy yourself one.
You can grab it on amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/PowerSkin-Pro..._1_8?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330464202&sr=1-8
Be fast they only have like 4 or 5 left in stock.
Of course if ya think this post is useful, hit thanx. Won't kill ya.
PS: I am in no way affiliated with the company that is making this so if ya think I'm making money here, I'm not.

read the reviews on amazon... it sucks...

As panyan says... it sucks... I tested it for a week and then it went back to amazon...
The Quality is quite good, but it makes the DHD really fat... but i knew it before i purchased it and this wasnt the real problem...
This this batterie was supposed to last as long as the internal batterie does, but for 50euros (in germany) you get a silikoncase which makes your phone thicker and a really bad batterie that lasts for 7 hours... in IDLE!!
My DHD "survives" sometimes up to 2 Days (When its IDLE most the time), so a battery that used to have more capacity then the internal one lasts only 7 hours?
FAIL!!!
I loaded it more than one time to full capacity and tested it the whole week...
I cannot recommend that powerskin.
mfg cre-x
PS: sry for my bad english XD

It's an interesting idea, but it woud add a lot of weight and bulk to the phone, which you would only need let's say for the second 1/2 of the day
So would you want to carry that around with you all day?
The alternative, which I use, is to have a battery pack (mine's a 5000mAh) which I plug into the charging socket of the phone via USB-microUSB cable when I run low.
The battery pack has the same dimensions and weight as the phone, but I keep it in a bag until needed, so it doesn't affect the phone's bulk until I decide to charge.
And they are cheap too, I got mine off Amazon for €22 I think it was. NewTrent is the brand, I can recommend it. The price fluctuates quite a lot. There are also some cheaper alternatives, but I wouldn't bother with a 2000mAh pack, since it wouldn't pack much of a punch. Also the NewTrent one has 2 output sockets and can provide a 1A output, giving a fast charge.
And you can keep your favourite case too, no worries about GPS signal either

powerskins are for people who can only get to charge their phone every other day or use the phone very intensly.
In most cases it's a waste of money.

I used it 3 months and now it no works.
PS: This Case is really big!

I have it, it's awesome. The thickness isn't important to me, i have big pockets. But it was 80$ here in my country.

phone companies are on the verge of these 'inductive charging' techniques by just attaching the tech to the battery without sacrificing any of the physical size of it all, so who knows maybe at the end of the year it'll become standard in phones without the need of having accessories like these

WOW! The Phone becomes very thick with this thing. That's absolutely not cool. In which pocket shall it fit? Just rendered and no real pictures you can see nothing about the quality of these thing. I think a spare accu is much better than this Power Skin.

Watching the video at work without sound. He gets to the 'unboxing' bit of the S4, looks all around the box then opens it. Takes the phone out, puts it down, takes the USB/plug out, puts it down, then takes out the earphones and puts them down. Empty box - next...!

.. That looks incredibly cheap. More like something you'd get from the discarded boxes rack in the supermarket...
Yes, it's just a box. I'm a designer, packaging design is part of my job. This sorry excuse for a bananabox is rather insulting. The S3's box (at least for my blue one) looked much more chique.
Not that this box will stop me from buying it

It looks like that just because they made it recyclable and used Soy ink as well.

Made form recycled materials is more environmentally friendly and good use of post-consumer waste. Good move Samsung, and its not like we need a shiny box, we just put it away until its time to resell our phone anyways.

First they cheap out with plastic on the phone, now the build quality of the box has deteriorated. That looks like it'll feel cheap in the hand, shame on you Samsung.
I demand an aluminium unibody design for the box for the S5, or I'm done with you Samsung.
