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!!

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!
Anyone use a spare battery charger? What would you recommend ?

I just got one of this too. May I ask how long does it take you to charge the battery by itself and how long if you use the usb connection? Thanks.
I bought my Sensation in China a few days ago (returned to the US on Sunday) and the woman gave me a free 2300maH battery (as a backup to my official HTC one), a free screen protector (she placed herself), a free case (not the best but still nice), and that EXACT charger, haha. I bought a nicer one at the store for $3.50 in China. The phone itself cost me $350 (after I sold her my defunct HTC Desire for $180)
I just received that charger today. I have few questions. Why does it only have two pins and the battery have spot for 4 pins. What are the two missing pins for?? I haven't tried to charge with my battery yet.
On the back, it says:
INPUT : AC100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A
OUTPUT: DC 4.2V~350mA~ +-50mA
USB 5.2V d.c. 800mA
Are those the correct specs for the sensation? Would you recommend charging the phone battery through usb, and charging the spare battery at the same time?
Nevermind.
This is interesting guys, look at this one.
Do you think it is worth it? Will it damage smartphone?

I don`t think you would be able to crank it long or hard enough to do any damage. My HTC hero and now my Desire S both require quite high power to charge properly so I would be surprised if it was possible to get any useful charge into a modern smartphone with a hand generator.
I have tried several of the (cheap)emergency chargers that run on AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries and none so far have been able to deliver more than a 20-30% charge before the voltage or current drops too low to continue.
The best solution I have tried for time away from the mains so far is a New Trent 5000mAH rechargeable battery pack from Amazon. They also do an 11000mAH version. These have 500mA and 1A USB outputs and claim to be able to charge an Ipad. My 5000mA one will do roughly 2 full charges plus a top up which is useful for a weekend away from mains power.
The price is however MUCH higher.

I don't see HTC Desire S being compatible with it.

The outputs are standard full sized USB with a choice of current output so you can use the supplied cables or the USB cable supplied with your phone. HTC Android handsets are listed generally on that page and my own recommendation was intended to indicate the device works as advertised with the desire S

Im using Powermonkey classic v2
2200mAh battery
1A output.
Huge accessories packed with pouch.
But, my Desire S charges only to 78%
https://powertraveller.com/iwantsome/primatepower/powermonkeyclassicV2/
A Good Charger from Ebay
I have a charger that can fully charge the Desire S battery, costs about 10$ on ebay, so far the phone battery is still at 100% for a few hours with normal everyday usage, i find it good enough for me.
The charging rate is about 300mA and not 500 or 800 as published.
It would be wise to buy a micro usb female to micro usb male extender cable.

I think my AC charger is giving problems... Its charging fine but the pins of charger seems displaced internally coz i have to press it hard and rotate the pins to start charging... That's quite a pain charging every time and can't touch mobile during that time as it disconnects...
Can anyone give me a link to Original HTC charger for Sensation in 220v in U.S?
I Don't want to fall into fakes or Replicas that take twice the time to charge... So please a genuine charger link...
Expanys us, Tmobile, Amazon. But the charger is just a generic HTC wall plug and a USB cord . I bought the wall piece from Ebay and the USB piece too.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
you can use pretty much any wallplugs that support USB out. I've noticed that most of these chargers output at 5V and 1A so they shouldn't be a problem
I've bought a couple of cheap generic ones off Dealextreme for about $4 each so I could leave them at my girlfriend's and in my bag and they work well.
I got a genuine Samsung and it charges in just over 2 hrs from 0
becareful dazdeeuk, fast charge is usually bad for the health of the battery. Generally, I would recommend sticking with factory specs (usually 5v and 1A)
Most manufacturers have signed up to the universal charger agreement now so you can't go wrong with any decent brand micro-USB charger. I use a BlackBerry charger in my bedroom and car.
I tried one from Sony Ericsson... its 850mA and takes almost 4 hrs to charge my mobile.. and longer if I keep it busy...
Want a link to real genuine deal if anyone knows a link..
Okay I know when most of you look at this charger and see the price of it going for you'll be like it's cheap and will not work the way you want it to... Well that's a lye your telling yourself.
Why get this? Because I bought it for a quick and easy use when I'm out and about. And every time my phone's on low charge I always use this charger because it almost charges your phone completely in like an hour and it does not over heat your phone either. I recommend this to everyone

MYBAT Travel Charger (with IC chips) does the IC stands for insertcoin chips?
Can you explain it a little better? It's rated for 500ma while the stock charger is 1a. How can it charge faster while having half the rated output and producing less heat at the same time? Also, the connector looks like a Mini-USB connector instead of Micro-USB.
