Extended Battery in Stock at VZW store

Just order on Wednesday the Extended Battery for my Pro2 from VZW site.
It is only 2100mAh, but I figured I would try it for the price.

Add the code "BAT30" for 30% off, and of course Free Next Day Shipping...$35 plus Tax, pretty good deal I thought...
I got it yesterday and fully charged it last night...
I will run it all day today and see how long it lasts, hopefully into tomorrow
Reporting back later on how long it lasts..
Also, I really like the texture of the new back cover
Just FYI

Nice thanks, il be getting that. Can definitely come in handy.

Mine came yesterday, its actually a 2150 not 2100. i havent been able to fully charge it yet but I have been using it on 3 notches for a while. it seems to be performing better honestly. 8i hate the cover for the extended battery though, it takes awat from the look of the phone with the boring gray cover

Dang, I didn't even notice that, you are correct, it is 2150mAh...
Eh, rear cover is a rear cover, I like how it feel though...I had a XV6800 with an extended battery from Seidio that feels kinda like this
Don't get me wrong Seidio makes good stuff, I just couldn't wait any longer for the bigger one they are going to sell...

Thanks for the heads up on the discount - just ordered one!

I ordered one for myself today with the phone. I am hoping that the device gets better battery life than my Imagio and if thats the case I might be able to get a full day use out of a battery for the first time since I owned a Dumb Phone. lol

So far so good with this battery Used it all weekend and it lasted pretty good

I have been using the phone with the battery since I received my phone and have to say I love it. I am actually able to get through the day without having to use the charger until about 5:00PM-6:00PM (which is great for me) and even more so I love the way it feels in my hand now, it feels allot more solid and allot more comfortable in hand.

It's showing out of stock for my area (Redwood Valley in NW CA, zip 95470)

Out of stock for me too. =(

Still in stock here......

Does anyone have a picture they can post. I would like to see it. The last extended battery i use was for a 6700 and after about 3 month i hated how extra bulky it made the phone.

Sure, I will post a pic tonight....

Does it make the phone alot bulkier the phone is pretty bulky as is

i just went back with my regular stock battery. i couldnt stand that bulky and ugly cover anymore...im going to just stop using my phone like a little kid all day.
i was so happy to have a new phone and i wore it out all day, that excitement has wore off now so my battery life should be better considering i wont be using it as much
smh @ the extended battery cover

i think it would still 'fit' worse case scenario is it might be slightly packed into it but i do believe it will fit.

OK I dusted off the lens on my old LG Incite from AT&T and took some photos...they're not the best but it will give you guys an idea

HTC Sensation battery door

I was looking for battery doors for my HTC Sensation and I came across this nice looking one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-HT...I&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=719848830771970651
I wonder if it will work the same as the one that comes with the Sensation. It looks a lot better in my opinion

looks great. can't wait til they start making some that aren't dual tone and without that ugly curve design.

1. @ $81 it's kind of spendy
2. Does not look the same as our battery covers, will antennas work fine?
3. Definitely better design then TMOUS ugly tri-colored one.
Thanks for the info

You know that's the housing AND the battery door (three pieces) right? I saw just the back cover selling on ebay for around $52.

Here is the back only
http://cgi.ebay.com/REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-COVER-HTC-SENSATION-/320715342088?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aac1fc108
It is still rather expensive, even considering how it needs to have the antennas.
I'm hoping it will come down in price once more sellers get into it. However this has helped me decide that I won't use a case for the back (was just looking for an excuse to swap backs covers)

Not bad. But yeah I'm going to wait till it get lower

Who need case after that? If it scratches then just replace cover (they will get cheaper) which is the whole body! How cool is that!

It's awesome! But what happens if you drop the phone? I like using a case for shock absorption!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

You definitely make a valid point BonesRed.
However in order to achieve good shock absorption the case would add more bulk than I would ever consider using. The thickest case product I use on phones are the variety of 'skins' or 'shields', and those offer almost no shock absorption value.
Also this gives me an excuse to swap the tri-colored back for one that is dual-colored, which IMO looks better and prob should have been released this way in the first place.

I love the stock back, im surprised so many hate it.

Someone should make a battery cover with a protective rubber layer already attached.

Anybody knows where to get the back cover for t-mobile with 3 antenna connectors on top part? I placed an order with waresphere and they told me they don't have it in stock and raising the price when it becomes available.

Hello, first excuse my english I'm french.
I do not know if any of you to change the casing of the sensation, but no longer mine, if somebody is selling the original. I am close to you buy it, Thanks

I hope the price goes down in the next few months, i'll get one eventually

The cracks are forming in all four corners. April 13th-July 2nd.

this on top of rooting a phone and putting something like supercharged or Blazed will give god like battery life lol. nice link!

So far it seems that way. I managed to run it down to 50% that was using it all day.

So with this bigger battery does anyone carry a car charger and or usb cord with them? I would like to have just a battery that would last mostly all day.

Mine easily lasts all day.

Hey guys.
Could you take a pic of the phone with the default battery and the 4000mah,including the cover.
Thanks.

Yes I can but i'm currently in school so it will have to wait until i'm out of school or when i'm off work.

If you have the extended battery,how do you use a case?Is there a case for it?

Yes of course

Anyone who has this - how shock-resistant is the new backing? Would it in any way be roughly analogous to actually having a silicon/rubber Body Glove-esque case on it?

Anker 5200mah Review

Coming from a Note 2, I found this devices battery to be below par. If you don't care about size or weight, this is the battery for you.
I consider myself a heavy user, at least. Always on lte, always on the Internet whether it's the xda app or my reddit app.
This is from an average day. I listened to music for about 2 hours, I was in the doctors office for 3 hours and was on the phone on reddit practically the entire time. Brightness was on 50 to 70 percent.
Gimmick things where off (smart stay, ect) but I clearly could have had it all on.
Ask any questions and I'll be happy to answer!

figured i'd jump on it now, don't see it getting any cheaper and lots of positive feedback.

Is Anker generally better than Mugen Power Battery?

Poor Wireless Charging with DT-900

I've seen several threads on here about the wireless charging "re-cycling" (flipping between charging, then not charging) of the DT-900 with the N4. The solutions I've seen on here don't seem to be working for me as I'm not 100% certain that is what's going on. Here's my situation:
N4, white one, so it's a new rev. Older revs of the N4 reported issues with this charger, but supposedly it was fixed with the newer revs.
CM 10.1
Stock kernal
Tried with a case, and without.
Daydream enabled/disabled
Completely flat surface. phone is not moving at all
So...I put the phone on the charger, positioned so the bottom of the charger extends a little less than 1/4 of an inch from the bottom of the phone (I've tried different positions on the charger with no change in results. From what I've read, this seems to be the sweet-spot for this combo.) The phone indicates that it's charging, flickers between charging and not charging 2 or 3 times, which from what I've read, is a positive reaction. Then, the charging light stays on from there. The battery screen reports "Charging Wireless" but it really is not charging. The battery does not seem to drain at all, but it does not charge. It just kinda hangs right at the 70% it was at when I dropped it on the charger. I left it there overnight a few times changing one thing at a time (case/no case, phone position, daydream on/off, etc.) and each morning, the battery would pretty much be at he same level it was at when I wen to bed.
Any ideas/recommendations?
Thanks!

Just got one of these for myself and I'm seeing exactly the same results you are. Says it's charging but it doesn't battery level has dropped at times while on it. I have had it on the charger with and without a case and no change. Hope somebody knows a trick cause i'm gonna feel dumb having wasted 50 bucks. I'm also on CM10.1, stock kernal.

I felt dumb wasting 50 bucks on it too. So I took it back to the AT&T store I got it from. If you can return it, do it. Then go straight to a Verizon store and get the LG wcp-300. I think that's the model number. 10 dollars cheaper, works way better.

That's the one I ordered, except it was from a US seller. I use a Seidio active case so I will let you know how well it works with that case, the Nokia one did not work well with a case.

I received the Qi wirelesss charger today and it does work, but not with a case. I have a Seidio active case and tried it with it on and nothing, then tried it with just the silicon back and the charger activated but did not charge the phone. Same results as the Nokia charger, but it was half the price. I have the official bumper case and will see if it works with that.
