I'm interested to buy this, what do you guys think? For those who have this, any feedback, including its performance, would be appreciated. For the price, I can actually get two HTC or four Momax 900 mAh batteries, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. By the way, the cover is mat instead of glossy.
I found the pictures on Google.
Well, I really love the matt finishing and overall high quality. Thats the finishing that HTC should have given in the original batt.
With the old glossy surface, the pyramid peaks are very vulnerable to scratches, and you can see whitish tiny scratches on the peaks. With the ext-batt's rubbery surface, it's almost scratch proof. I've been using the batt for 4-5months and it's still perfect.
As for the thickness.. frankly, 14mm is still thinner than most PPCs out there.
Enough of aesthetics.. My phone now lasts >50% longer.. which is good for me. Thats abt 2 days with some MP3s. Used to be low end of every day, which makes no sense coz you know 15-20% batt won't get you through the whole of next day.
My advice is.. get the batt as a long term investment. If you're gonna sell the phone after 6mths, bear with the lousy original batt.
Hi MasK, thanks for the input, it's very helpful.
I think I will probably keep this phone till November or December, because by that time I can get a free phone from my provider, I will just sell that right away and the Diamond to get something new. Yeah the glossy finish is really easy to scratch, right now I've to use a case to protect it.
There is another option that I'm considering, it's the HTC battery bank BB G300. It's sightly more expensive, but I can keep it for future HTC phones or any phones that use the same connector. The only thing is I'm not a huge fan of carrying extra devices on me.
Extended battery
I decided to buy this battery when I one day ran out of battery at 7pm and desperately needed to send an email.
It certainly improved battery life by up to 50% and i don't think it makes the phone uglier. It's only a few mm thicker (i think 3mm) but only the fact that I get two days out of it with hotmail pushed and OWA pushed through emoze and average calling, texting emailing and surfing, should convince you to buy the battery.
The only problem I had was the HTC pouch that came with the phone. When you have the extended battery on, it won't fit your diamond any more, so I had to buy another one (a generic HTC leather pouch).
Hope it helps...
What I don't understand is, why do they only thicken the battery? They could also use the new space above and below the battery (looking straight onto the backside of the Diamond).

I think it's not as simple to produce a battery in some odd shape, they also have to consider about the compatibility with other models.
I got mine last week and it's great.
Mat finis is actually better than glossy - no fingerprints and I think it's going to be more durable in the long run.
As for battery life - now I can use my Diamond normally for two days, I had to charge the normal battery every day.

I just received mine today, I'm glad I went for it.
looks like im gonna have to invest in this battery...
I've decided to go for it, and have orderes the BP E270.
Can anyone recommend some cases that would fit the 3mm fattened diamond?
Thanks,

Having owned the extended battery (and getting rid of it). I have to say I didn't like at all, the phone just felt wrong. I appreciate it only make the phone a couple of mil thicker but trust me, it wrecks the feel of the phone. If the phone came with the exteneded battery to start of with, I may have been happy with it.
Another problem I had with it, was that the back was always coming loose and sliding forward when I tried to take the phone out of my pocket.
If you are having problems with the power of your phone, then by all means get the extended battery but I'm telling you the extended makes your phone feel like a brick and even worse, makes it feel cheap.
I tend to disagree, the phone feels much better in my hand (my opinion), I liked the thin looks of the phone with the original battery, but I could never hold it properly, it slipped from my hand a couple of times, lucky it fell on the carpet. Now I like it much better, plus having the added benefit of the extra power. At the end of the day, it's a question of choice, some of you might like it, some of you might not, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here.
Mine has arrived, and I really like it. As said earlier, the matte finish is much better, and the small increase in size actually makes it easier/nicer to hold.
Any suggestions on a pouch or case that fits it?
The extended battery is actually the same thickness as the 900mAh battery with a silicon case ;-) Actually I normally use a Tek Sock pouch with my extended battery.. but for now, i just have a screen protector and will try for a few days without a pouch/case.
hi i got mine today its beetter than the old one htc must have done this before n replaced all batterys like nokia did for mathatushita battery which recently got blasted
i got it for RS-3,000 inr< indian national rupee> wat abt others cost
just got mine yesterday.. however mine is the white colour version.. so still have the glossy back cover..
i check the battery status using powerguard and the battery voltage is always around 3.9V to 4V.. and the phone gets heat up v fast.. to more than 39 degree.. is my battery faulty or it is normal for the extended battery to behave like this??

im playing games.. but when using the original 900mAh battery, it wont get so warm.. with the extended battery, when it have around 80% battery left, the voltage is like 4.1V to 4.2V.. which i think is very high.. thats why causing the phone to heat up so much..
can anyone confirm with me that it is normal to get 4.1V to 4.2V when the battery life is more than 70%?? or is my battery faulty?? it will drop to 3.6V to 3.7V when battery life is less than 50%..
I've got mine today... I thinks it looks better than the glossy one and with the extra mAh...
Does anyone found a good case for the new package?
Anyone can help me find an another one battery, seems that it's ran out of stock now !
Does someone has this one?
3600mAh Mugen power
At "Special Price" of $104.95 I don't think I would want it. Back cover looks horrible, instead of making a hump they kept the width consistent with a slight curve.
My phone looks smaller with BALLISTIC case on. Battery life is no longer an issue if you have a small charger like below, just keep it in your pocket and charge your phone while it is not in use.
the reason there is no hump like on the HD2, is because the back cover is required to get a signal, due to the contact pins being right there. The back cover isn't a 3 piece back cover, so they can't make a part have a hump, and the rest not.
I have not used this one but I'm currently using their 3300mah for Nexus S...I payed their price and I must tell, they do a good customer support job for the price they ask for it.
Speedtest?
Can anyone shed light on why speedtest had a faster download with the extended battery installed?, is it simply more powerful because I would have thought the power was regulated by the phone itself?
Is it likely to be a better aerial in the back of the Mugen case?
Thanks.
Terry
That thing is ugly
If you have to replace the battery door, how do you expect the antennas to work?
That's... HUGE!
The size is too big, and out of my price range
I have one, it gives me enough power to last until the next morning without a charge. The wifi sucks now since the back doesn't have the metal antenna connectors, but everything else works fine. The back is ugly as hell, but its worth it to be able to last at least a day.

The aerial is probably better than the original HTC one, so faster results, they could afford to make it a lot bigger as the back of the phone is a lot bigger
So far so good! Loving my new HTC Beluga!

Yes, they sent me a new back to the phone, but it didn't fix it. If I switch to the old battery/back then its fine and works great, but with the back they sent me, my range is now severely limited and certain ways of holding the phone drops my signal altogether.
Well a friend of mine is offering a mugen 3600mah(!) battery unopened for 50 euros... that's about half the price I can find it in retail.
I'm still waiting for my Anker batteries, but I'm -seriously- thinking of getting that as well... do you think it's worth the price, will it really get me ~2.5x the battery time I have now (including drain) or I'll end up with roughly 3-4 hours extra?
Just waned to add that Mugen Power has a slim solution that is OEM sized but still gives about 15% juice.

Ok today i got my zerolemon samsung galaxy s5 7500mah battery, all i got to say is that thing is big and bad, the one thing i really don't like is the way the tpu case fits a bit loose around my phone, for those wondering about the heart rate monitor it is easy to use since your finger lands on the sensor, the phone don't weigh too much as i thought it will, but i will post more after the first charge cycle
My brother had one of these on his s4, and it reminded me of this image. I just don't get it. If you manage your device and ensure that you disable unused applications and services then you can easily get a day of use. Tripling the size of the phone vs. tweaking what it actually does. To each their own, either way thank you for the review, I'm sure that the case fit issue is valuable information for those who are looking at these as a purchase option.

Depends on usage. I use mine all the time for work and I can barely get through a day without needing some extra juice. So if you are one that NEEDS an extra battery like this its perfect.
I loved mine for the s3. The case felt a little loose on it but i still got used to it. I am concerned by the last of waterproofing but if the battery performs will probably get one. Please let us know asap how it performs.

I love the 10000mah version for my note3, Does well when I go on my 3-4 day camping hikes, I like the way it feels in my hand, Still waiting to receive my battery for the S5, You got yours early! I preordered mine 2 weeks ago.
Just ordered mine today (Going to have to wait to it ships to the UK though) loved the S3 version. Never went wrong with anything zerolemon
Already sold out on amazon.com I think
That's a little overkill, don't you think? Even heavy smartphone users get a day's (10-12 hours) of use out of their phone. I mean that big of a battery would seriously get annoying to me. Turn your brightness down man.
I get about 8hrs regular battery, even with 25% brightness. Power users we are and that juice is what it keep us away from being attached to a charger... Attached to a wire.
I got my pre-order on the 16th, And I'm returning it, I'm hoping I got a defective case & battery.
Case doesn't seem to hold battery in that well, I can knock the back of the case and the phone will reboot or shut off completely.
The case seems very loose along the sides as well, I think due to them packing the box and & battery inside of the case while shipping which seemed to stretch the case out a bit making it loose on the sides.
I'm going to ask for a replacement, if it's the same issues on the next one I'm asking for a refund.
any update robert ?

I had this battery for the S3, I loved it. However I don't want to lose the waterproofing on the S5, and I think the case is ugly this time around..
Anyway after rooting and installing the Infinity ROM, I get 2 days of moderate use out of the stock battery..
So for the $50 price of that battery, I instead bought the 18600mah Zerolemon Juicebox.. Same price, 2 1/2 times more power..
I can charge my phone 7 times without having to recharge the Juicebox.. It also charges 2 phones while charging the Juicebox at the same time, most battery packs can't do that.. Plus with the USB 3.0 cable, it charges my phone from dead in 90 minutes..
I have a bag on me at all times, so carrying it around is no biggie.. It's the size of my phone..
http://goo.gl/XVObHn
p.s. - They should pay me for this lol.. but yea, I'm happy
Got mine of Friday last week.
Followed the instructions to charge if without disturbance for twelve hours before using. I am at sixty percent now and am beginning to think it will last me one week per charge. I stream pandora when in car with bluetooth, play games, surf internet, check all emails once an hour, update facebook three times a day, send texts and receive calls about three or four an hour, cast netflix and youtube, update weather once every hour, keep screen on auto brightness, never turn off wifi, etc. Unreal performance from this battery. I'm actually looking forward to using a charger! But they say do not do it until the phone reaches 2 percent. So I wait.... The case does seem a little loose to me and I don't really care for the style, but aesthetics aside, a real good bang for the buck!!!! I would highly recommend for anyone who would actually like a real uncorded phone that can be used for a good week at a time without worrying about a charger cable and what not. :good:
So on my first use I was able to use the phone with heavy use, WiFi always on, Bluetooth on in car, Pandora streaming with screen on, emails checked every 2 hours, Weather updated every two hours, Games like spades, hearts, some other graphically intense ones, Calls and SMS, some pictures and web surfing total time to 2%: 5 days, 22 hours, 56 minutes, 59 seconds. The owner of ZeroLemon said that they will be sending me a better case as soon as they get them and hope that it will fit the phone a little better, however even though the case I have is a little mushy, it does stay on. Very easy to remove which could be a good or bad thing depending how you look at it. So far I would rate the battery with a five star and the case with a two. Definitely like not having to plug the phone in every night and everytime I'm in the car.
I'll receive mine soon. I can't wait to see how it will goes. On previous phone I bought mugen one which are X2 more expensive than this one.
It's good to know they'll replace the case.

Wonder if the "looseness" is a problem with the first batch of cases? I had a ZL on a Note 2 and the tpu was perfect, never gave any signs it would easily come off. I'm getting a S5 just to have a ZL, hope they fix this issue.

Id like to get this battery but part of me wants to wait for a zeroshock case like what i had on my Note 3.
I had an idea.
I previously owned an S10e that was second hand and the phone's battery was so bad it couldn't last through the day.
S10e battery ( EB-BG970ABU )
I was craving for a big battery so I ordered a Samsung M51 with a large 7000mAh battery but I still cant get over the feeling of a small phone in my hands. I loved my old A5 2017 and s10e is almost the same size.
So I was thinking maybe I can upgrade the battery. Both S10 and S10+ have a bigger battery as in capacity and dimensions. But then I looked for an earlier phone. S9?
S9+ battery ( EB-BG965ABU )
It has the same connector but I don't know the dimensions so I was hoping any1 can help me with this case.
Thx to all. <3

The S10e stock battery measures 42mm wide, and 71mm tall; not counting the circuit piece, which adds another 5mm to height. My battery is still glued in, so I can't measure its thickness (yet). I too have been thinking about changing my battery (downsizing), but the apparently attached circuitry is puzzling:
Thx soo much for this information. Im searching far and wide and the closest thing is the s9+ battery as mentioned. I will try to find some infortation and wll go on from there as im probably not the only one trying to get the most out of a great phone.
Ohhhh ok then.
I asked store owners on aliexpress selling batteries and they were kind enough to send me this. It's sooo close.
So it appears alternative batteries come with their own attached circuitry on top. Might work for you @YoungPumpkin but probably not for my wish to downsize. Your wish for more mAHr capacity will hinge on making larger battery fit. Phones of the past did this via thicker battery and special back cover with a little buldge.
I could desolder the cercuit of the pther battery and solder it to the new one as thats how they are connected right? If i wanted to fit the bigger battery in the s10e i would have to modify the phones metal body and thats not a problem. But idk if it would work software side of things. And what do you mean by downsizing? Why do you need a smaller battery?
I prefer a light weight phone; had S4 Mini for years. It was under 4 oz. Was forced to upgrade due to poor voice connections due to carriers changing to VoLTE. S10e was the least of the heavy weight evils for me. I have chargers everywhere, on my desk, next to bed, near easy chair, in my car, etc. The lowest my S10e battery has ever been is 82%. I'd like to take an ounce off its weight.
Ohhh. Then battery is ur only way of waight reduction or maybe if u find a custom plastic back. Thx for your help anyway.
The s7 edge had a 3600 mAH battery , 100 plus than the s9 , and if ur into desoldering, you surely could do it , and if you do, post a guide as well .
I think soldering the chipset of the battery isn't the problem. It has to fit or at least almost fit without destroying the chassis too much. I"ll check the dimensions of the batteries and compare them.
Back in the day they used to swap the s7e's battery onto S6 flats , so surely you will find the proper dimensions for it , also the phone is a tad smaller than the s9 , close to the s10e's dimensions so by that logic, the battery should fit better ?
here's something to give you an ideea about soldering the connector thingie on the other battery Battery connector swap
the soldering part is the easy part. I'm worried the battery won't fit because of the size. s10e's battery is roughly
I just noticed there is a code on the battery that determines its size 1/CP6/44/77 [s10e] and that's where it bottles up.
damn, s10e's battery is THAT small? pff, what's the size of the s9+'s then ?
i think the s9+ is pretty close
Maybe if you flip that top connector , in case it is flexible , then there shouldnt be a size difference issue .
Also dont they make the cutouts for the batteries bigger now, to allow them to expand (since the note 7 issue ) ?
Let us know of your progress, I have an s10e as well & it's brand new for now, but if you manage to get a bigger battery in it, i will open the back glass too .
I was planning to upgrade the battery when I bought the s10e the second time but I wasn't sure so I opened the form to talk out the possibilities. as of right now my battery isn't that bad but when it does get bad I might upgrade because I like the form factor of the phone.
Hey there,
I've been searching around for a topic like this since forever now, only thing i could find is a YouTube video which wasn't clear enough.
Since my battery health was already dying on s10e i thought about an upgrade instead of replacement but couldn't find similar dimensions to s10e's battery.
Then i got a juice pack but it made the phone bulkier and the continuous charge would heat up the phone + increment on the charge cycles of the battery.
Already tried s9+ battery but it doesn't fit in the frame horizontally
Though vertically it was a perfect fit and a bit thicker overall
I replaced the complete pcb, removed the battery's covering and adhesive strips , didn't make much of a difference either.
I've contacted a lithium ion battery manufacturing unit located in china
Who make custom batteries with your preferred dimensions but in Bulk and they were ready to ship 20 pieces for 7$ each .
But i highly doubt their performance or long term usage when compared to the Samsung manufactured ones .
Also you'd have to desolder the current pcb from your phones battery or else source PCBs from china in bulk again .
How much battery does it stick out horizontally? And what would be the custom battery capacity? I think the only option is a s9+ battery to my beliefs.

Hello, I bought Samsung galaxy s7 in 2016 and its still working till now super fine. Today the screen just flickered some how and I think my phone is about to die.
I was thinking of buying a new phone.
I want it to be flat screen with aluminium frame in sides and back (glass in back is fine too) I rarely use camera too, I also want it to be super amoled. I want it to feel premium in the hand too.
Which phone you guys I should buy with these requirements?

Try clearing the system cache and a hard reset.
Is the battery still good? That may be the issue.
If exposed to water... that is the issue.
What price range? Any good phone generally comes with a good cam nowadays.
You can get a new Note 10+ N975U1 256gb, 12gb ram running on Q for $800. Picked one up last week, it's pristine.
I would stay away from anything running on 11 though.

I haven't cleared the system cache or did a hard reset in 2 years, so I am sure that would help!
The battery is still decent, I mean it's not as it used to be but it's doing fine.
What actually happens is that screen went crazy for like 10 sec (it flickered and shows lines and shaky pictures, then I pressed the power button and it won't back to normal) this is the first time this incident happens to me since I bought the phone. The phone is actually a beast, never lag, and feels premium, If there is still a fresh new one in the market I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
I am not sure about the price, to be honest, I think your suggestion is very good, I really lean to Samsung, But I don't like Note's :-(
I just want something like my current S7 (None edge) with let's say a bigger battery and a bigger screen.

If it's not repeatable it will be harder to troubleshoot. Try what I suggested. It's long overdue a system cache clearing. If it flickers again try plugging into the charger, if it stops it's likely the battery. Check for signs of battery swelling.
Try flexing the frame, gently, as well to check for a loose connection, display or mobo failure.
The 10+ is a beast and built solid. A case is mandatory for this corner hitting brick that also loves to face plant. It doesn't seem large to me at all anymore. It's very slim 7mm, so even with a good case it doesn't seem that large.
The spen is great as a remote shutter release and smart select is very handy which I use it for a lot now. The curve screen is the nesting place for One Handed Operation plus, no waste here.
The display is gorgeous (no rounded corners) and still one of the brightest with better color rendering than most newer phones. It's a flagship phone in every sense with snappy performance and about 10+ hours SOT. The Buds+ couple seamlessly with it. It still retains its on screen navigation buttons on Q. The Galaxy Store customization on the stock variants are the best on the planet.
Lol, I'm biased as it is my weapon of choice. I picked it over the N20 Ultra for a number of reasons a week ago.

If it's not repeatable it will be harder to troubleshoot. Try what I suggested. It's long overdue a system cache clearing. If it flickers again try plugging into the charger, if it stops it's likely the battery. Check for signs of battery swelling.

Will try that! Thank you, Blackhawk!
I am checking the Samsung Galaxy S10+ it is really a big leap from S7, going to give that a thought, I really like the ceramic back, ceramic frame! also, the Dynamic Amoled seems fantastic! <3
And it still has the heart monitor!
You're welcome.
Water damage is insidious and pervasive. The faster you disconnect the battery and purge it, the better the outcome. It's possible there's some light corrosion on the ribbon cable contacts, reseating them may resolve it.
A very -little- WD-40 helps. Never get any solvents around LCD displays as it can poison them.
It is possible to salvage water soaked electronics with quick action. My Buds case went straight for a full hot cup of coffee, cream and sugar. Damn thing must have been Pav Tack guided, dead center of the cup. Straight to the bottom.
I couldn't disconnect the spot welded battery but I torn it apart, flushed with RO water, then with copious amounts of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, dried. 2 years latter it remain functional.
I drank the coffee too
IMO when it comes to modding & rooting SAMSUNG phones aren't the best choice.
