My phone has been having random reboots for a while now, I narrowed it down to a faulty battery but because id unlocked it don't think I can use the warranty.
After a bit of research I bought a One X battery from eBay, (1800 instead of 1650). Installation was quite easy with a small torx and small phillips and a case opener. Everything seems well so far, hoping the One X+ 2100ma battery is the same size

did it improve battery life? the battery is replacement or original?
did you have to adjustments to the battery since its different side connector?
Yeah, a little more detail, and some impressions would be nice. Links to what you bought, too.

theres a whole thread dedicated to the battery of the one x and onex+ fit in the one s.

Its an HTC stamped battery from ebay, no idea if its genuine or not. No modification required, it just fits right in. As for performance, no idea as I never monitored it that closely, presumably I can expect a ~10% increase.

I recently swapped out my original ATT One X for a new one and the new unit has much worse battery life and the vibrator for haptic feedback feels loose. I would get over 4+ hours on screen time on my original One X with close to 24 hours of overall usage. On my new one I barely scrape by 3 and I'm having to micro manage brightness, wifi, LTE etc. A lot more closely.
ATT told me that they only do one replacement. After that you have to go directly through the manufacturer. Did I just get a dud or is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Hi
Does anybody know whether Htc One X 1800 Mah battery fits to sensation.
If it works, taht would be good
Thanks
I think the One X is connected differently.

It can easily work, in theory, but you'd probably have to run wires to it, so your phone would look frankensteined.
I have done the oposite. HTC sensation battery is thicker but one X battery is bigger
Do you want to buy a complete One X and break it?
The One X battery is integrated and cannot be remove. This is why you cannot buy it from HTC.
Take an Anker 1900mAh and you´ll be cheaper

Takes less than 15min to replace a battery from sensation, one from sony xperia fits perfect only has 3 pins instead of 4 and didnt checked voltage yet. HTC is 3.7v

I'd advise caution when using batteries that were not made for the sensation. In fact, I just wouldnt do it...

Long as it's about the same voltage and it's connected right, it'll work fine.
There's also a small issue of thermal sensors which should keep the battery from exploding. If your battery gets heat up and you did manage only the voltage part you might just melt your precocious sensation. And you ear.
Jonny's right. It's not worth it.

Why combine? Buy Anker 1900mA, it will be better choise.
Hi guys . What can you say this device ? Does anyone else bought ? What can I say? Is it worth taking ?

Like how to approach a ONE X.
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.
holy cow that thing is fugly. Even the on/off switch on the bottom. I'd rather carry around a microusb power pack if I needed power that bad.

And at least with a microusb pack, you might actually get a true 3500mAh out of it.

I ordered this one, should be receiving it in a week or so. Wanted it for when I travel/snowboard.
I also ordered this external battery:

since I wanted something small to carry around in my back pocket.
Man, I really miss having removable batteries in my Evo 3D. Super small, full charge, 10 second swap.
I'll post results eventually.

Don't buy it, I have confirmed that it is incompatible with S4 One X (One XL)
since the pogo pins location of Tegra 3 One X is different from S4 One X (One XL)!

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.

If that is the case, the battery of the One X+ should also fit and has 2100mAh!!

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.
Took this pics with my tablet,, sorry for the quality.

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.

There is a Gold S3 battery available....
Remember the one that went over so well for the 4G Slide?
hehe, considering getting one of those. Only problem is, if I get it and mod it I can't return it if it doesn't come out right
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?
@gtmaster303
good idea again to try with Gold S3 battery hehe

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.

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.)

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?
