Has any anyone tried shoving the maxx battery (I'm assuming the eb40) into a regular RAZR HD? I currently have an Atrix HD and was considering doing the battery mod that everyone is doing but I just got a RAZR HD
Also I know some will say that if you want a maxx just buy a maxx but Rogers Canada is not carrying the maxx

I would like this also.
I saw the original RAZR and maxx can be done. They even sell a kit to make the transplant.

And... can you buy the batt. somewhere separately ?
If someone wanna uprade to EB40, i def. wanna buy the normal battery for my Ahd...
Thx

David why don't you buy the battery and see how it would fit in your Razr HD? Even if it wouldn't fit you can still put it in your atrix like you wanted to.
I am very curious too for the same reason you are. Doesn't seem likely we'll get the maxx HD here in canada.

I just tried this. 2 batteries died to bring you this information:
The good news:
- Batteries are same height & width- the EB40 will fit perfectly in the slot.
- Batteries are both 3.8v & leads are in the same place.
The bad news:
- connectors are different. You will have to desolder the electronics from EV30 and attach it to the EB40.
- EB40 is *barely* too thick. As in about 1/3 of a MM. The mainboard will screw into the battery back OK, but it flexes a bit and prevents the screen from fitting back in.
Unfortunately don't see a way around the thickness issue. Maybe if you removed the NFC stuff and used a sander to grind some resin off the battery back, but that seems really chancy.

I imagine that would work, the only issue is where do you get a back cover?
Apparently MAXX HD still uses EB40 battery so you will still have to perform a cable-ectomy to get a non-maxx compatible plug on it.
I have the Razr HD and just got rid of my OG Razr Maxx. The HD beats my OG Maxx battery life any day. The HD has a pretty large battery to begin with, 2500 mA.

Great info Grant2...
So we need two things ...
1. A bit modified battery ( Not sure if that's possible.. but if somebody can do it .. a lot of people will be willing to pay the price.
2. Back Cover ( if the original doesn't fit properly.. we need Razr HD maxx backs.. and i am sure those are hard to find...)
Looks possible but needs a lot of effort and work.

1 = pretty straightforward for anyone with a soldering iron.
2 = I called motorola today and asked; their reply "we don't sell ANY parts".
probably the big issue with the back cover will be that it's so complex: the plastic chassis (the part that we need thicker) is bonded to the kevlar back and also has some electronics embedded in it. So not only do the parts have to come onto the grey market (I assume that's the only way) but someone also has to assemble them.
I'll be attempting to swap a XT926 Droid Razr Maxx HD battery and rear cover into my XT925 Razr HD as soon I get the Maxx HD in the mail and verify battery is good.
Will update with results and photos.

it's 2530mAh -> 3300mAh, so approximately 1/3 extra power.
My issue with battery right now is, like many others who upgraded to Jellybean, the battery sometimes decides to drain like crazy. Normally I expect about 0.6%/hr drain when idle, but sometimes it goes up to 3%/hr while idle.
In between that, the lack of rooting, the shortage of roms, and no support for 3-button headsets, i'm thinking of just selling it and getting an S4. Now that they have 2500mAh (the same as the non-maxx) AND you can swap it out, the MAXX battery seems less useful than before.
Yes, that darn S4 with its inevitable massive XDA and hardware support and the 40% better power efficient CPU... Built in LTE... ETC ETC. Plus you know Samsung will release a large battery option like it has for the S3 (3000 mAh).
It's a very easy sell. And they are even slightly less ugly then before as well.
So I've been thinking the same thing grant2. S4 may just be in my future.

I destroyed the leads that attach to the control electronics.
was anyone able to convert the eb40 to the ev40?
Are the boards soldered to the battery or just snap in?
I found this picture of just one side of the flex cable but not of the other side, just curious how they connect.
I bought the Razr HD Gsm and now I just bought the Back part of the Razr HD Maxx, now I just need the battery. Eb40 is cheapest route because I cant find the ev40 except from etradesupply and I am not paying $120 for it.
The battery leads are soldered onto the 2 rectangular silver pads. see picture.

It can't fit both the X and XL since their dimensions are not the same.
I don't see anywhere they ask you to specify which model, which suggests to me that it's for the International version and the seller isn't aware they're not the same size.

There's really only way to find out.
A lot of times you can get a exteneded battery that is a little bigger than stock that is the same size. The One X battery might fit, it's only 150mAh bigger.
I would guess it doesn't fit/work.
Why would HTC bother using 2 different batteries if they could use 1. Having to source more different parts is never a Good Thing in manufacturing.

Why? The same reason they left out NFC in the One S, Also the One X has a bigger screen so it needs a little more juice to get the same battery life.
I know this thread is a few days old now, but thought I might have a little insight. Back when the Evo and Incredible came out (very similar relationship to One X / One S) the Evo standard battery WAS the Incredible extended battery. Same part number and everything, and they were exactly the same physical size! So I'm not promising the One X battery will work, but there's definitely a good shot.
The current 1650mAh battery looks pretty big, so that 1800mAh may actually fit. The work needed to open the case seems to much to replace a battery.

honestly, for just a 1800 mAh it's not even worth the disassemble, I'd do it for the one x+ battery though
i would say it's not possible. the connector for the One X is on the left side the One S is right. altough the battery seems a bit bigger (what I've seen in videos)
you are right about the connector

the battery in the pictures on the site (see OP) does not look like it has any notches or cutouts indicating direction of installation (it looks like a square more or less) and could probably be installed upside down, allowing for the fact that the connector of the X and S are on different sides, but you would have to twist the wires over so that the connection could be made, and I am not sure that they have that much give...
honestly, getting a portable charger isn't that bad.. they hold at least one charge and are pretty small in size.
even if ONE S has a bigger battery, it certainly wont hold more then 2000mAh, and probably cause the same as a 3000-4000mAh portable charger.
bought a 1800mah from eBay.took me 15mins to install it and its working no problem. Just have to flip the battery around so the side with the logo and writing is facing the inside. All the wires match up exactly.

I used my X2 as a night clock, and I dropped the $20 on a dock and loved it. Now that I have the HD, I would like another dock.
The Moto flip stand deal is $40 with cable, and that sounds awful.
Do you guys have generic docks? What do you use?
This is what I'm looking into. As long as I can charge Landscape, I don't really care.
Thanks in advance
I'm also looking for a nice dock. The BlueLounge one looks slick, but I don't like it that I would have to separately attach my charge cable. I don't think one exists yet for the HD so I'm just waiting. I'm sure they'll release something that has charging built in. (and it will be expensive I'm sure... )

Most of the HD docks were for the OG razr, not the "razr HD".
The pins are reversed, so you'll have to dremel it, hack it, hot glue it, cyanoacrylic it, duct tape it, etc.....

I had a razr XT910 before and at least for the european device, the direction of the pins are the same as on the XT925. For example, a customized atrix lapdock for use with a razr does also fit for the razr hd.
My apologies if this has been covered many times before but for those using it as an alarm clock, are you worried about / have you ever dealt with burn in? I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy Captivate (i896) with an amoled screen and after two years there was a distinct swiftkey layout that remained (most notably on black or white). Brightness spent the majority of its time at the minimum and time outs were short.
I use my phone as an alarm clock, just with the screen off. It turns the screen on again when the alarm goes off anyway.

My question was not so much about enabling the screen to stay on while docked but if anyone has had screen burn in issues with later generation AMOLED screens (since I had troubles with that on first gen Samsung Galaxy).
Been using mine as a night clock since I got it, no problems. The clock fades in and out of different parts of the screen to avoid burn in.

Be aware that the RAZR HD-dock is not for the RAZR HD, but rather for the RAZR to output HD. Confused yet? The dock for the old RAZR has the connection on the top of the phone, not the side. Might be able to mod it to work, but won't work stock.

As far as I know, after disassembling the device myself, it does not seem to be a removable and/or swappable battery. It lacks the plastic casing on the outside (probably to save weight) so therefore the battery itself is quite malleable. The HDMaxx has a slightly larger rear casing which would be a total pain (few hours) to completely disassemble and swap onto an HD. You can try it, you would be the first person that would have made an attempt that I have seen, but I'm not sure it's worth the time.
There's a thread on this and it has been done before.

Hi folks!
I have ordered and tried that replacement battery (look in google, from sunsky. can not yet post urls).
Though I had read somewhere that its actual capacity may vary from 2000 up to 2500mAh, I wanted give it a try because it is not so expensive, with a hope that it helps a bit.
Anyone else have tried it already?
Unfortunately I can tell, that I feel no difference to our standard 1800mAh. But I may be wrong.
For that reason I would like use a battery life testing tool and as a reference point, what tool would you suggest me to use to check the battery life from both?
Thanks
I've tried that battery (http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/3...r+Samsung+T699+++Galaxy+S+Relay+4G+++i415.htm)
Unfortunately I found it was sh!ter then the stock battery we have.
Also that sunsky battery lacks NFC. It's cheap for a reason, bad quality in my experience.
Check Nards tweak to the stock 2100mah Samsung S3 battery.
I've performed that trick to 4 of those batteries, and can safely say they perform wonders.

Hello dillalade
yes it is that one from your link which I tried also. I had been indeed influenced by the thread from Nards tweak when gtmaster303 mentioned that battery.
Thats why I wanted give a try to this one first before going further to the tweak.
Also I wanted post this to Accessories first, but because this seems like a question so I came here, and after collecting details I could report there my results as well. (The video on the registration makes you a bit down and stressed, so trying to be careful.)
Can anyone suggest me an app to test the capacity in order to compare them?

I've been looking into the gold battery and you can't always assume they're all the same. Get it from the same seller that's been verified to supply good batteries.
Either way it's still a win for us as the battery has a much higher capacity already. We should see a great improvement in battery no matter which S3 battery we buy

I suspect 'unable to return' won't be your only problem.......
From past readings, I read the Gold S3 battery was slightly thicker than the stock S3 battery.
If my interpretation is correct, then that gold battery (being thicker than stock) would be very hard to accommodate in our Relay battery slot.
I say this from my experience in already utilising the stock S3 battery in our Relay. In that the stock S3 battery is 'already' thicker than our stock Relay battery, such that the stock S3 battery is already a very tight fit (thickness wise.) So much so that closing the back housing door on our Relay is already as snug as I'd like.
Hence ifffff that Gold S3 battery is indeed thicker then the stock S3 battery, than you may have a hard time trying to close the battery cover on our phone with the Gold battery.
In addition to the tighhhht squeeze issue.... similarly to the previously discussed Sunsky battery above - neither can cater for NFC.
All that I can say from weeks of experience with the stock S3 batteries is that I'm able to achieve ~20-30 hours uptime with roughly 2-3hours talk time and 3-4hours screen on time.
I cannot complain thus far. I'd say, It's worth the extra pennies for that OEM Samsung S3 battery with NFC for that extra juice.

as an information for others i agree to move this thread to accessories, as i stop experimenting with this battery now.

Yes, that's another thing I failed to mention. I too noticed that Sunsky battery failed to charge to 100%.
I guess we can safely conclude these batteries are cheap as nutts for a reason - they are poor quality. Ridiculous how they get away with stating these bogus MaH capacities.
Go for S3 battery, you will be pleasantly surprised.
I have 4 of them, all of which are rock solid (Samsung OEM products.)

You guys should have bought from the link I posted. They have free return shipping if the item is defective

Another trick you can do with batteries that are too thick, get a bulky phone case and leave the battery door off altogether.

With that wisdom in mind, this maybe the way to go

3000MaH OEM Samsung.
Keep us posted if anyone tries that battery out.

Ok, I have just ordered 3250mAh slim battery brand KINPS for S3. Of course it is enough when it is just 2700mAh in real.
will then try Nardholio's instruction and will let you all know

NFC equipped?
I'm guessing no.
Otherwise a fair choice

Meh, NFC is a gimmick unless you actually use it. Honestly I've never used it once
I'd trade it for more battery any day

Hi folks!
I have ordered and tried that replacement battery (look in google, from sunsky. can not yet post urls).
Though I had read somewhere that its actual capacity may vary from 2000 up to 2500mAh, I wanted give it a try because it is not so expensive, with a hope that it helps a bit.
Anyone else have tried it already?
Unfortunately I can tell, that I feel no difference to our standard 1800mAh. But I may be wrong.
For that reason I would like use a battery life testing tool and as a reference point, what tool would you suggest me to use to check the battery life from both?
Thanks

Probably you will not see the difference.
Even if capacity is higher i doubt about quality which end up with similar efficient.
I believe Samsung hold high quality of their products.
And it is not NFC...

I have received the battery now http://s44.photobucket.com/user/blu...0502/05020201/05020201bluestone001_a.jpg.html
Unfortunately it is too thick, 5mm while ours are 4mm.
I can not close the back cover with it, so I can not use it. .. disappointed and sad
Is the original s3 battery then 4.5mm when Nard says "a bit thicker"?
I find that a little hard to believe... how can 1mm make that big of a difference? (pun intended)
is the back cover really that flush that there's no extra room? Not even a slight amount?
