If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.

That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.

It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there

This looks pretty sweet...

I will buy one when They are out. Since i dont use gps that much just calls games apps email and work this case and battery extender would really come in handy.

Couldn't agree more! If GPS is needed like mentioned above you can take off the case without it killing the phone! Can't wait for this to come out!

I havent been able to get more info on this case i know its not out yet and i did sign up to get and email when it comes out, and also for doing that i will get a discount on it. Dont know how much but anything is better than nothing.

Maybe it'll come out this month. They said they're releasing new products every month.

I'd love to have something like this to help my phone last throughout the day.

+2 to that

I emailed Power Skin and this is the response I got:
The HTC Inspire 4G is scheduled to be released in early June. Be sure to complete our mailing list so that you will be one of the first notified. Thank you for your interest in PowerSkin.
Charge On!

Hm, according to the website they will "personally email you with a nice discount code when a case becomes available (if it is not currently)". Thats worth getting their spam for a month!

I want it. Right now. Please.

I can not wait this should really help with battery life.

[Q] Evo 3d battery in Sensation

Just what the topic says. Does anybody think that the evo 3d battery would fit inside the sensation?

It should work since they're the same except for dual camera for 3D.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

It would be awesome cause the e3d has a bigger battery.

The e3d is thicker than sensation. If a bigger would have fitted in sensation, they would have put it. My opinion: no chance to fit it in!

We will have to see. The only thing I would be worried about is if 3rd-party accessories such as a batter door be a little harder to make. After all, the sensation has that "wrap-around" design of the back of the phone.

It's a unibody design. There is no back battery cover. Check out the Desire HD or Incredible S if you don't know what I mean.
Edit: Oh, I see you have a Desire HD. I'm not sure what you mean by "back battery cover" then.
Off-topic: I see you're on Mobifone. Just got back from a holiday in Vietnam last week and was using a Mobifone SIM there that I bought off the street. Call rates and coverage were good but they sent me texts nearly every day! Awesome country. Could do without the scooters though

this actually looks possible... this week i will try to see if it truly is possible and post my findings

Hi old friend, nice to see you on the Sensation thread May I ask why you are wondering lol ?

IT WORKS!!!
Yesterday I put an Evo 3D battery into my Sensation and it worked like a dream. All you have to do is reverse it. The only issue you might run into is that the Evo's battery is 3.8v and the Sensations is 3.7v. Might cause slightly faster wear on the circuitry. But that being said, it just works
HTC FTW

So he went away for a couple of minutes, came back and even gave me price for custom battery covers, it was 75 USD in Norway, maybe cheaper in other country's

It would be easily painted tbh, it would need sanding down then painting with a primer/undercoat then a topcoat of your choosing (Depending on the paint you may need to add a top coat of lacquer)

Quietly Brilliant right? Sorry, just couldn't resist it.
This guy has beat HTC at their own design.

The problem with the pain removers is that it would also remove it from the "htc" which then takes away from the appeal imo.
if you look at the pictures theyre still black against chrome

maybe you guys are looking at this thing too much and now his site is down because

Probably the same but the fact that they charge in about 5 minutes makes them better than an extended battery in my opinion.... they're basically a never ending battery if you have your charger and energy source around every 8 hours or so, just go take a cigarette break and you'll have a full battery by the time your done lol I think this is the solution to quad+ core processors in smartphones....

Anker battery

Hi all,
I just cant reach 2h+ whit my anker battery running aokp rom but it has been like this on any rom ? I do medium usage but still dissapointed tried every calibration method out there ! Is my battery dying ?
And also my battery is reading wrong it shows wrong % like when i reach about 25% all of a sudden either it shuts down either it indicates 1% remaining ? Saw quite alot of threads on this but couldn't find a fix...

The sudden discharge of the battery could possibly indicate A issue with the battery itself. If it's new I would defiantly ask the seller for a replacement. I have Anker myself And It's never discharged like that before. I'd look into trying a replacement and see if that helps your issue! Best of luck.hopefully a new battery will fix the problem.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

i used AOKP rom before and it has battery drain problem, maybe that causes the problem?
AOKP link
try with other ROM and see?

AOKP does cause more battery drain in my opinion but the battery dropping percentage so drastically or discharging isn't normal. I would defiantly look into getting a replacement battery. Anker has been a good battery for me. They should honor the return and if its new, replace it. Best of luck

Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app

you probably just have a defective battery, from the pics and what youre telling us (happens on every rom). what mAh do you get on a full charge? I have an Anker as well and it doesnt drain quite as fast as yours, even when I was on AOKP I would get around 13-14 hours light/moderate use. try another battery or see if you can get a replacement Anker from the seller you got it from. but from my experience, the Sensation in general doesnt have great battery life. my MT4G on the other hand...I could easily see 20+ hours

I´ve bougth a new Anker and used it until my Sensation turned off.
No Calibration, because it is crap to do it manually and just make it worst!
Then full charge it (better while Sensa is turned off) and you will reach about a day and 5 or 6 hours on moderate usage (2-3hours screen on).
After 4-5 charge cycles you´ll get about 1 day and 17 hours.
If not, you should listen to the others above and send it back.

Hey,
How good is the Anker battery compared to stock battery? Does it really last 25% longer?

Well it's definitely better then stock however I remember I used to reach the 3h mark screen on time, but if you guys talking about stanby it's okay I guess I can get up to 16-22 hours
