post before and after pics of your phone after you get the new battery in. I need a good laugh, and I could only imagine how jacked up the case is going to be after it is pried open.

So why are they keep talking about replacing battery in that post Preorder 2100mah battery for htc one s. Coz my battery is not in good condition and it needs to recharge two times a day.

Hello.
Has anybody been able to disassemble this phone?
S3 version is different than S4, or maybe it's US/EU difference, my phone (S3 EU) has also one black cover under bottom speaker cover, it's not comming off and I'm guessing there are screwes underneath. Non of the videos on youtube are that version, they are all S4 I guess, where when you remove the bottom cover, there are screwes right underneath, and the bottom is actually not unibody, it's in two parts.

I have the EU s3 version as well. Does anybody know how to open the bottom part there?

[Q] Has anybody tried this 3000 mAh battery?

Recently I was looking for a cover for my g2 phone when I saw this sale http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-cover-HTC-Desire-Z-G2-/140496797740?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b643002c#ht_1322wt_1139
It's a 3000 mAh battery with the back cover. Does anyone tried it or anyone similar in the past? Should I take the risk and pay $12.50 for it?
I would appreciate some opinions Thanks
Sorry this thread should be on Desire Z/ G2 area. My apologies. Can any moderator move it?

Yeah I actually recently got two 1500 mAh batteries that works like a charm so far. I'm just a little skeptical of this one because I don't know for sure if it'll be comfortable to have an extended back cover...
Wow that's a fat battery :O

..3500mah too
Pregnant phone anyone?
I bought 3 1500mAh batteries from HK. Same white lable, maybe same company. They work great, but it is annoying to change batteries.
My G1 was a pregant phone and I did love the extra bulk, but I'm not sure if I want the extra bulk on my G2, I've have to think this one over.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the reviews.
Just order the 3500mAh. Will report when I get it and test

Looks identical to the one I bought - which works fine. I only use it if I'm going to be away from a charger for a day, but it does the job.
The only other issue is it doesn't fit on the docking station :-(

Camera Lens Glass cracked

I cracked the glass on my camera lens. What can be done about fixing it??
I know insurance covers it, but only if I pay the $200 deductible. HTC can fix it for next to nothing in cost, but that requires I mail the phone to california, wait for it to be fixed and for them to mail it back.
I have found the entire back portion of the phone available on eBay for $40 however after closer look, these are all for the HTC One X, not the HTC One XL.
I was talking to a friend of mine and he says the glass is just a very thin piece of protection and you really dont need it so I should just remove it. As it is now, the camera takes extremely blury photos. Any ideas on how best to fix this? If the glass is not important, I might just remove it entirely but it'd be nice if I could fix it somewhat cheaply.

I'm pretty sure it happened while I was working. I keep my phone clipped into my seidio active holster. The case keeps the phone protected quite well. I've dropped the phone from the height of 4-8' several times, without any adverse effects.
I know the night I was working on a large data/phone cabling job, I am sure I did not drop it. But when I went to take my photos, they all came out blury and I found its cracked. Has two cracks, forming sort of an X. I would bet you that it happened while I was working on the hard tile floor and rolled over on top of something hard like one of my tools or something. Possibly. Still unsure.

I did call AT&T warranty, I was told that they do not cover small issues like cracked glass on the camera lens. They will only replace the phone if it was not working... like a bad micro usb port or something. If I was more sleezy than I already am, I would break it so that I can get it replaced. But I'm not doing that.

As in covers, do you mean the housing? If so, that's the whole phone shell other than the screen because it's a unibody... From just looking, I'd just get thecamera bezel with the camera lens. Save some moneyy

Agreed..I know because I took my back housing off just the other day, I wanted to see if I could switch just camera lense out but it seems to be one off those sonic plastic welds..the housing and lense cover are fuezed, and it has both option international and at&t version, even tells the difference in the description of the housing lol

Ok I'm aware its all one piece, it's a unibody. But if theyre just selling the bezel/lens piece, it's probably just glued down, being screwed in a good chance also.

They have just the camera housing covers as well (like $4)
Now what someone needs to do is buy and 3d scan those covers and start 3d printing them in different colors

Are you Tmous? I am and look at thispic a seller sent me...Its missing one connector which I've been told will affect my service
I have the same question... would love to get a white cover for my HTC Sensation 4G on TmoUS
It's been asked many times when the white covers first came out. The missing contact is fine. I think it was an extra wifi antenna, not 100%, I am on TmoUS and have had the white cover for a good while now. No degradation of wifi or cell signal.
I'm gonna take the plunge and buy one...what do i have to lose...24.00. And if it works i get a nice looking phone...i'll report back.

You can always use eBay. The only problem with OEM eBay batteries - you get crappy capacity (even if you see Samsung stickers on the batteries - they aren't really Samsung).
On the other hand, you can get a bit more expensive batteries, even with NFC (I remember seeing one for $15 or so, don't remember the brand - but it was the only custom one with NFC when I looked).

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Actually I meant the shape of the battery. It's completely different from international SGS2 (i9100), and also different from just about any other mainstream Samsung phone - the only relatively mainstream reference is Galaxy Nexus (having a bit smaller battery - 1750mAh vs our 1850mAh, but it fits physically and the difference is small). I know because I had to find one for myself, got the phone with non-functional one.

Yes, there is - and I even ordered such battery The problem is that the OP wrote that he isn't from US, and by the looks of it I assumed he doesn't have anyone in US that can buy this battery (from Sprint) and send him. It doesn't look to be a quest for increased battery capacity, but rather just for any (possibly additional) battery.
How much did u pay for it? I am not from US also but i found some on ebay claiming to be original by samsung-it is US seller. This one is 18$ + 14.99$> shipping
Sprint one goes for shipping only - $6.50. The only catch - they'll ship to US address only. If you can use shipping company that is based in US and can "forward" you the shipping (like myus.com) - it might be worth the extra shipping cost.

I dont really have a choice, it got ran over by a jeep and everything is still on, plus i dont have the money to get a new one.
Get on eBay and look for a place called repair bowl.. they have a b and c stock ones that has a scratch that is about 1/2 inch in upper right hand.. changing screens is a piece of cake!

"i'm highly against doing screen repair on this phone "
Ha, that's an odd statement.
OP, I struggled with the same questions as you when I had to replace the screen on my phone... and honestly I'm still not convinced I got the right version. It works, but the light pipes for the capacitive buttons don't line up, which I thought (going on memory) that that was one of the problems with using an international screen on the Evita phone.
I can understand why he would say that. Replacing the screen on this phone is a bit troublesome if you're inexperienced not to mention the 3 different screens for this phone that are really only identified by their flex cables. If you think it through and plan ahead all should be fine though.
