My New Desktop Dock

So I decided to go through the pain of 10 days plus delivery from Hong Kong and ordered this off eBay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....46602&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1849wt_1137
And it is really really nice.
The phone sits securely and has a slot on the back for my second battery.
Certainly worth the £11 I paid for it. The only downside is that it does not take the phone with the case still on but to be fair I don't think any of them do.

Errrrrrrrrrrrr
It's a Desire

Where does the cable plug in?
Edit: Disregard my question. I've just looked at the item on Ebay and see that it is a lot deeper than it appears in your pictures. They make it look quite flat as you cannot see the tapered bottom part.
Looks OK though

I have used the ones that take AA batteries before. Apart from the limited capacity, they are also quite heavy and sometimes struggle to actually charge the phone (rechargeable AA batteries are 1.2 volts so 4 will only reach 4.8 volts output where the phone is looking for 5volts plus)
I wanted something lightweight, and not too bulky and that would fit inside my jacket pocket. I looked at loads of these things before I bought this one and they ranged in cost, size, weight and capacity. Some had 5000aH but were big and heavy. The really light ones however did not have enough capacity for a recharge of the Desires battery.
This thing gives me 2500Ah (the Desire has a 1400aH battery) and weighs 88g so has enough juice to recharge the battery at least once from flat in a day if not half again. It was £29 from Scan (Amazon have them as well)
Unfortunately I have no choice but £30 is not too bad.
In the morning for example, I will leave my house at 6:30am and not get home again until 10pm. I will be using my phone constantly with push mail, calls, facebook, twitter, Wordpress etc.I will not be carrying any briefcase or a bag so am limited to what I can fit in my suit pocket. The luxury of tapping mains power is not there
My last phone could not do a day like that on a single charge and the Desire will be down to 30% by lunchtime (less than a third of the way through my day)
So I have the power pack and a spare battery as well and these can all fit in my suit jacket pocket without adding too much bulk

Not everyday (thank goodness) but if I am working in London (a couple of days a week) then it takes me 2.5 hours to get in and 2.5 hours to get out again so add that to 9 to 5 and a drink with the team or a customer before I get back on the train and you get the idea.
The good news is that a smartphone means I don't need to carry around a laptop everywhere. The bad news is that with the Desire, I need lots of spare power

Does it charge with 1000mA like the original HTC power connector, or only 500mA (like the most usb-cables)?
Thanks,

Actually I am not sure it is even charging at 500mA which is the reason that particular one is sitting back in it's box waiting for an RMA number
There are some out there that claim 700 or even 950 (I will be trying the latter just as soon as Amazon can deliver).

This dock looks pretty nice. Might be tempted by it if I get a spare battery in the future with it.

You may have noticed in the picture that I have already taken that route.
Indeed tomorrow now that the battery pack is being returned I will be leaving the house at 6:30 with a fully charged phone and a fully charged second battery and nothing else.
But if 1 battery lasts until lunchtime (6 hours) then the second will last until about 7pm but I don't get home until 10!!!
A 3rd battery?
I think I need one of those battery belts that pro photographers use but that would be silly
I think I just want to have my cake and eat it. I want to watch videos on the train (if I can ever get the encoding right) or listen to music, I want to actually use my device to the full and don't want to start switching off features. After all I paid the best part of £400 for this thing, not using it would be daft.
I just need to work out the right solution. On my last phone (a HTC S740) a 2nd battery was more than enough but on this one I think I just need a bit of time to work out what works.

[slightly off topic] you could try one of these bad boys, I've not got one myself but I've read good reviews. Also 3400mah is just under 2.5 recharges, which might save you taking the extra battery

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly

In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.

I just purchased, thanks.

Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.

i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label

Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

View attachment 520358

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.

Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).

any more updates?

I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.

I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app

I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

Review: Droid Incredible II/S Battery for G2

Just got my battery from Verizon, and while it will take a few days before I can properly let you know if it's worth the money, I wanted to post some pictures. Like several people I was really hesitant to jump on the Seidio and ChiChi batteries due to the wide variety of results people were getting. Even the websites who measured their capacities said that their true capacity varied from battery to battery. Some people could end up with one that lasts 2x as long as stock, while some could be slightly worse (than stock). I really didn't feel like returning batteries until I got a good one, so when HTC released a bigger battery that fit inside the G2, I jumped on it.

Some shots of the box. As you can see it's the Official HTC battery for the Verizon Droid Incredible II, but since that is an identical device to the Incredible S, that battery will work as well.
The G2 comes stock with a 1300mAh battery, this one is 1450mAh, just a little bump. It fits PERFECTLY. No trimming, just pop out your old one and throw in the new one. I was surprised to find it was already 50% charged when I put it in, but I immediately threw it on the charger. The whole appeal of this battery is that it is an Official HTC product, so I'm hoping for greater consistency and quality.
It will be a few days until I get an idea of how much better this thing is for $40, but I will report back when I do.
REVIEW CONTINUED TWO POSTS DOWN

Nice pictures. How much was it? I ask because the Evo Shift battery is $44.00 but it is 1500mah.
EDIT: lol, nm. I see the price in the pic!

OK, so a few days with the battery now. Final Verdict- A definite improvement.
Each day I unplugged at about 5am and wouldn't plug back in until around 11pm. A couple days I stayed on wifi/wifi calling (a HUGE battery saver), and at 11pm would still have 40% left in the tank. This is with some moderate use, little bit of gaming, browsing, Pulse News Reader, and a couple Youtube videos.
Without wifi I go into the red around 9ish, which is still a nice improvement over stock. So I would say that if you are a person who continually makes it a few hours short on battery for the day, than this one is for you. You will notice an improvement and hopefully not have to stress about preserving that battery. But if you are having to plug in multiple times a day, then I can't say that this will help you too much.
Pros:
Gives you a nice bump in battery life, noticeable over stock. (Remember it will take a few charges/discharges to see this improvement)
An official HTC battery
No modifications needed to fit perfect (unlike the EVO Shift battery)
Much more consistant and (hopefully) reliable over 3rd party batteries
Cons:
It's only 1450mAh (Over the stock 1300), so it's not a huge increase (Judge if it's worth $40)
Won't save the power users out there.
You can find this hopefully at a Verizon store or their Wireless website. That said, HTC.... start making official extended batteries for your phones! Not just the Thunderbolt.

thank you very much for your review.
i think i'll try for myself to see if it helps.
been coming short on battery power a couple of times now (by a couple of %) so this should be a welcome change.
regards,
!ncanity

Yup, right from their website as the store near me didn't have any in stock yet. Remember don't expect a huge difference, as the battery is only a little bigger. But it can give you that little extra to make it through the day. Not sure on verizon returns, but I hope they will be a little bit better than say mugen or seidio.

i found the battery for sale on androidcentral store for 27.95, but they list it as 1500mAh, and if you look at the image its says 1450mAh. HTC also has it for sale on their website they also list it as 1500mAh. I hope the fit is perfect i would hate to have a hump when i put the battery door back on.

i feel that you should've gotten the 1800 mah battery from mugen power if you were gonna use that much money. they're pretty much in the same range and with a couple of extra dollars you would've gotten more battery life.

I had a bad experience with mugen on a previous phone, not to mention that their 1800mAh batteries are not really so. I would much rather buy an oem product for the reasons above.
That said I'm sure that many might be happy with a mugen (or seidio) purchase. I just would rather spend a little more and avoid the possible headache.

i ordered the same battery as the OP, but from androidcentral store. Received it today the fit is perfect, htc should start including the Droid Incredible II battery with new shippments of g2's and desire z's. Didnt test out the battery yet just wanted to see how the fit was. Total was $33.95.

The stock G2 battery is on the left side, it looks a bit more square from the side. The G2 battery also has a small square cutout on the side unlike the Droid Inc2 Battery.

Powerskin for dhd

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Saw this on engadget too and was seriously contemplating getting it. Tho I wonder how much bigger this will make the DHD feel

I was just going to post on it! You beat me. Seems like a win-win. I'm already using a Mugen 1500, so if I add this (which is 1500) for a combined battery life of 3000, I should never have to worry about battery life again. Here is the direct link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1508des/htc-desire-inspire.html

Just saw the post on engadget as well, looks promising, hopefully it doesn't make the phone to thick, but would be a excellent thing for travelling if nothing else!

They just replied to my comment on their facebook page that there will be international shipping soon!

It's universal, USB power is ~5V. All batteries in all DHDs say 3.7v remember that all this extra battery is doing is providing power via USB, therefore it needs to be ~5V.
Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

Doesn't seem any thicker than with a Case Mate Pop case. I have one so I'm sure I can live with this.
Sent via 1s and 0s through time and space using my Defy.

It needs to be 5V to appear as a charger to the Desire HD. But I see several issues with this:
-The Desire HD will be in constant charge mode until the external battery discharges. Only then the internal battery will start to be used.
It's not good to use a device while charging, this reduces the battery life, so this case will reduce the internal battery life.
-Being 5V means that the case internal 3.7V must be pumped to 5V and then reduces again to 4.2 to charge the battery. Pumps and regulators usually have a 80% efficiency, so 1500 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 960. Expect a battery improvement equivalent to 960 mA, not to 1500mA.
Still it's a great accesory for some situations where you spect to have a great consumption, like hicking with GPS, 3G use while moving, etc. And when the external battery is discharged you can remove the case and have the device full charged with its original size.

You can also turn the case off so it won't charge your phone. Then it doesn't charge the phone constantly and the internal battery life won't reduce that much.

Thanks for that picture It does look a bit thicker, but if nothing else its nice to have with you for weekend trips etc when you know you cant charge.
Does it work like a charger in the way that you can turn it off untill your internal battery is almost depleted, then switch it on and charge up the internal one (if you leave the phone idle?) or does it not really charge the internal one, just keep the phone alive on the extra battery?

Anyone tried this yet or has ordered one already? I'm really interested in this, but since I'm only 16-years, I don't have the money to try something out with a chance of not being worth it .

This too thick for my tastes, i like my dhd thin.

It's a fascinating idea, but - converting inches to cm - that is about 0.8cm more, for a phone that is just about 1cm deep. In fact, the manufacturers do mention 0.8cm as a generic add-on. That's a lot of bulk...
For all-day GPS-intensive stuff I take along a 5000mah power pack that does the job nicely, which you just unplug if you need to make calls etc. Back in the bag, and connect it back up
Though I'm sure this powerskin will meet the needs of some people out there.

MPJ 4300mAh extended battery mini review

Picked up this MPJ out off their website for $17.99 because I CANNOT find it on Amazon.
WHERE I BUY
A backup battery means a lot to me as my Galaxy S5 is running many apps, even though battery life on this phone is already an impressive part. Just received mine with a small bag, unwrapped and put it in. It seems a little larger than stock battery, ensuring a snug fit.
The 2800mAh to 4300mAh bump isn’t there for sure but there is still some increase. I’ll update soon after 2-3 times charging cycles.

After I fully charged it 3 times, it seemed to do great. This is my moderate to quite heavily day yesterday. With almost same usages (no auto brightness, average web browsing, bunch of streaming videos, texting, calling and etc.), stock downs to 20-30% by the time I went to bed and the new battery I'm at about 45%.
EDIT: Do not expect seeing any dramatic changes. Normally improving 10-15%, and there are several times, depending on my usages, where it up to 15%-20%.
6+ hrs on screen is my best by far and this is including 4-5 hrs of idle and light/moderate using, and only 1-2 hrs of heavy browsing, texting, etc. Have been also skeptical and hesitated about whether to pick up this without many reviews but on second thought, I can be the first and share my experience if that’s a real good. YMMV, I am not thinking about if they are spending money on promoting the well-knowness for their company, as far as I can tell, it is working fine on MY GS5.

I was about to post about this same battery! I ordered it on Amazon for about $5. I hope it is better than the stock battery! Here's a link if interested.

Interested to see how this battery works For long term use. Wonder if it effects the phone any?

Oh sweet, Thank you! =)

These batteries don't hold quite the charge the OEM batteries do, but it'll last a good 8 hours. I ordered a pair of these batteries and I'll see how long they last (Hyperion batteries have a good track record with my phones).

Nope, so I bought 3 of them. at 6 dollars a piece, and no shipping, even if i get one thats semi-decent it's better than no spare are all and I was making my way through a battery and a half per day on my S4.
*UPDATE*
4300 mHa Battery
I'm a very heavy user of my smartphone. When i had my Galaxy S4 i was going through a battery and a half per day. When i saw these batteries i thought i'd give them a try. I though 6 bucks, each, bought 3 of them for the hell of it. So in the old phrase of you get what you pay for is absolutely true in this case.
These batteries even say "Long Lasting High Capacity Li-ion battery" and are a 4300mAh battery, where the stock is 2800mAh. So in theory these batteries are 45% bigger than stock and should give me relatively 45% more time in operation of my smartphone on a single charge.
What it has given me is a great deal less. My S5 on the OEM battery would last from when i unplugged it at 6am to usually 5:30 or 6 at night before I hit the 30% alert. I just checked and my phone is currently 4H 50M 06S in and I am down to 38%. This battery as it sits is a complete waste of money.
Now as they were only 6 bucks each I did buy 3 so I will try the other two over the next couple days but if they are the same, then my suggestion is do not buy this product.

I just went with this one. Guess we'll see. I'll update a couple weeks after it gets here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JIL7C5S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Makes sense, yes After all, no matter how advanced the phone is: the more advanced, the more battery eats.

Hum... I don't know if this battery i sreally a 4300mah...
Someone test the battery recently ?

I'm using this "brand" ( well, these printed labels ) since the S1 series.
They may not be the full 3800Mah capacity, but they always give me a full day of operation ( depending on the use offcourse )
I'm not able to test the capacity-claims ( because I don't know how )
All I know is the length of operation.
On the S2 and Note1 the power was slightly smaller, my order is coming in a few days
Will report back

I can't wait for ZeroLemon to release theirs. It was worth every millimeter of extra hugeness on my S4.

It is the same dimension so I assume 20%~ more.

I ordered this one the other day http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JB5OGWS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 shipped out today shall see how it goes.
