Does the MyTouch 4G battery fit our 4G Slide rear? I need to replace the battery on my Slide WITHOUT ordering it and on Craigslist I cant seem to find one for a 4G Slide. HTC Sensation is also out of question as there are none. I am also aware of the capacity difference, which isn't much of a concern.

Don't think so. The Sensation battery replacement never mentioned the MT4G (Glacier), where it did for the MT4GS (Doubleshot).
What's wrong with ordering? If it's all about the waiting game, I understand. It took me about two weeks to get mine.
Anyway, if you want to broaden your search, can keep your eyes out for HTC Sensation / Z710E / Sensation XE / Z715E
/ HTC EVO 3D / HTC Shooter battery.

Ive seen some very cheap ones on Amazon and ebay (as low as $7) but its the headache of requiring a credit card/PayPal, etc. in order to order things. If that were the case, I'd have my first LG Optimus G's digitizer fixed myself in no time.
This MyTouch on the other hand, well it was my brother's old phone and after the battery began to inflate, it was handed to me since I'm like the "Android/technology freak" of the family. He can easily order it for me, but after ordering some specific accessories for his S4 which NEVER arrived, he does not trust ordering online.

It's supposed to. The Sensation battery can fit the EVO 3D. May not necessarily mean the EVO 3D battery will fit the Sensation, or by extension the MT4GS, but it's worth a shot.
Now that you mentioned it i saw a battery on ebay that said it was for the Evo 3D and MyTouch 4G Slide. Sad thing is that just a few days ago there was one listed for parts because the LCD/Digitizer was totaled and I checked and its gone :/
Lol wouldn't be much fun to ruin another cool phone from working by stealing the battery from it.

Quick thing with Amazon. Go to a CVS or similar pharmacy and pick up a Amazon gift card for as low as $25.00 in cash and go to your Amazon account and apply the gift card. I did it to buy my own 4G Slide today! You can order anything on amazon without a credit card if you know how. I use Amazon for everything now, bought a reliable LG Phoenix, too! Using it while I'm waiting for the MT4GS to arrive. Amazon is WAY more trusted than Craigslist or Ebay.
Ebay, IMHO
Or pick up an Ebay card, or just a plain old visa gift card.
I picked up a 3600mAh battery and cover for <$10. Yes, it's like two batteries back to back. It rocks.

I did something similar... I took the battery from a Samsung Galaxy Centura and hard-wired it to the terminals of my LG Phoenix so it's pretty much...Two batteries back to back!
Except it didn't do much to improve the battery life and I had it all together with duct tape. How is the extended battery, though? Is it worth it? I'm getting my Christmas bonus in January so I'm looking at some extra money. I mean, I picked up my MT4GS for $43 on Amazon... Should I get something different?
If having online credit cards or PayPal is the problem, I concur with the idea of using an Amazon gift card. I've found Anker's 1900mAh battery quite satisfactory.

Just got back from Tmobile..... Purchased Power Skin case for HTC Sensation for $30!!!! Their Facebook page has a printable 50% coupon on ALL accessories!!
Take advantage!!!
I think i may purchase one of these. Two questions:
1) Does it make the phone too bulky?
2) Does the thing that stick out at the side look as awful as it does in the pictures?
Where to buy in Los Angeles area?
Does anybody know where to get this in Los Angeles area precisely in San Gabriel Valley area?
I called T-mobile store in Santa Anita mall and they said they don't sell this.
Thank you for the help.
Can't find it here where I'm at guess I'll have to buy it online!
Damnit I want one of these so bad but NONE of the stores in the OKC area have them >:|
I'm tempted to just pay someone to ship me one, cause all the store reps have no idea when they'll get more in.
what the hell is that thing hanging off the side haha. that looks disgusting!
The bulge on the side is for the usb cable that plugs into the phone from the Powerskin's battery.

I'm not seeing the coupon for 50% off on facebook. If you can gives us a better break down that would help. Thanks
Edit:
nvm i figured it out but the only question is which Tmobile stores are carrying it? the LA area doesn't seem to have it so no luck for us.
Just pickedone up at the T-mobile store in NYC. I went in the store to take advantage of the 50% coupon and found this. Not bad for $30. Good luck!
Got mine at the San Fernando store in los angeles awsome buy paired with my extended battery

I looked at the case in the store and no way! It is horrible. It makes the nice sleek phone into a tank. The case thickness basically doubles the phone. It is ridiculous in my book.
I just rather buy and extra battery and carry that with me instead. It is small easy to carry and when I needed it just put it in rather than adding that crazy about amount of bulk to the phone.
I just got home and opened the box and damn! This thing is HUGE! I'm going to return this because it's too thick. Such a shame...
I wish they had Evo3D batteries so I could buy one of them and get more battery juice Do they even carry batteries in stores?
Link to the facebook page please??
Man it might look ugly, but it does what it is supposed to do. It's a battery built into a case, of course its going to add bulk. I love it and I keep it on my phone at all times. Instead of 11 hours of battery I get 23 before its dead now. 30 bucks for this is a steal, everyone at work wants one for there phone and a guy with an Evo 3d wants one bad lol.

Missing holes?
It looks like it's missing a bunch of the required holes in the back. The little holes on the back toward the bottom seem to be covered up, whereas the holes are poked through on the tpg cases and others. Will this affect performance?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128479
The holes are not entirely covered up, they cut channels to the holes. as seen in the pic I took. Regardless, it still has possible effects.

Wanted to buy one but cannot find a UK distributor, Amazon are selling them but also will not ship. If Anyone of you who bought it, is sending it back maybe we can come to an agreement and use pay-pal if you could be kindly get the P&P and we can talk.
Anyone who is wishing to locate the coupon on Facebook needs to google it, I found it but its not valid in the UK stores
Coupon
Here is the pdf coupon for anyone who is having trouble finding it.
I've been trying to find a good spare battery to get as a gift for someone but haven't been able to find the battery dimensions anywhere. Being square it looks like it should be compatible with the other HTC Devices, like the Sensation & Evo 3D, but I don't want to order anything unless I know for sure it is.
Does anyone know for sure if the batteries are indeed interchangeable or maybe be willing to measure one for me?
Just look on google/ebay for an inspire 4g battery, you might even be able to get one straight from htc so you know it's the correct one.
I just bough this. Took about 2 weeks to get here due to coming from china but well worth. Excellent battery life on them
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110709536964&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Looks like a complete gimmick to me, is it really better battery life than stock?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Most aftermarket batteries are grossly overrated, but some are still decent. If the Inspire battery is the same size as the Sensation/Evo3D battery than I was going to get one of the chichitec 1900mAh. I don't know if it's a full 1900 but it definitely does last longer than the stock 1730mAh that comes with the E3D.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I ended up getting some chichitecs from Amazon, they don't have any reviews for the Inspire/DHD but I've been impressed with their evo 3d batteries so I'm hoping they'll do good too. Plus for 20$ it's a deal regardless. The Mugen 1500s got pretty good reviews in the DHD forum but $45 for a single battery is ridiculous.
If anyone is interested: CHICHITEC HTC Surround AT&T Inspire 4G 2x1500mAh Battery better than OEM + Wall Travel Dock USB Charger also for t8788 ACE BD26100 PD26100
Thats looks very very interesting. Ive heard of that brand before and its better than buying a no name knock off for way more. Please let us know how the new batteries work out!

Hey all!!
I am going to be selling my HTC Sensation 4G (on T-mobile, USA) once the Galaxy Nexus comes to T-mobile soon! The phone is new, I bought it last month because I didn't want to wait for the Nexus, but now that I see it, I'm going to be selling it for the off contract price on ebay, probably a little cheaper. But with my HTC Sensation I'll be selling my OtterBox I have for it, the T-mobile snap on case, my Zagg Invisasheild (that is on the screen), a generic T-mobile Sensation screen protctor, an Anker Desk Dock, a Anker 1900mAH battery, as well as the HTC stock battery, a 4 GB Micro SD Card, but I will not be including my SIM card because I'll need that for my Nexus, so you must already have a T-mobile SIM Card compatable for their HSPA+ Network. And just because I don't need it anymore I'll be putting in my OG HTC myTouch (red), and it works fine for an old phone, it has paint chipped off of it, but hardware wise it is 100% fine.
So if you would like to buy I am thinking of asking anyone on the forums before selling it on ebay, so just PM if you want to give me a price you would pay for everything!
Wrong forum. Doubt you get that much, though.

oh, thank you! I wasn't sure which forum to post on. and I changed my price. I wasn't thinking I'd get that much either lol
Hey.. I was wondering if this door will work with my t-mobile Sensation 4G since i don't see no difference and the description say's "Not for T-mobile Sensation". I don't see why it's not going to work. If anyone wants to try, Please let me know
This is my first post, and i cannot post outside links, just Copy+paste on ebay the following to see the case :
for HTC Sensation 4G Z710e White Housing Back Cover Case Repair Fix Part ZVHS559
I just ordered one. I'll get back to you between Feb 14 and Feb 28 when I get it. However it looks exactly the same as the black replacement housing I bought. It's missing whatever antenna connection is there on the left under the speaker grill. I use T-Mobile in Spokane, WA and switching between my original back with the antenna and the replacement I can't notice a difference in 3G/4G, WiFi, BT, or GPS signal strength.
Thanks for pointing those out, I just looked 2 days ago for a white back for my wife's S4G and could only find the $100 listings. It looks as if someone over there just got a very large shipment of them as eBay seems to be flooded now. From the pictures it looks like it may not be a genuine HTC replacement part, but that shouldn't make a difference.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-HTC-Sen...er-Case-Repair-Fix-Part-ZVHS559-/300651021240
Looks fine. Most likely a counterfeit. But it should function just fine.
Been watching the prices of these..
I don't like how they were $25.00 dollars and because of the popularity of the product they raised the price to $100 even $40 dollars with S+H is over priced.
Regular Sensation housings are going on ebay for $15+ Brand New
So far cheapest price I could find on a white G18 housing is $31 dollars.

Yeah, I've been using my black housing for about 6 weeks now and haven't had any issues. I use GPS all the time for navigation, and I use WiFi and bluetooth tether with my W7 laptop and TF101 tablet on a regular basis. I can't tell the difference at all.

The extra connection point is for a second antenna. The non-US Sensation did not have this either. I'm guessing that the T-Mobile network just needed to have that extra antenna; otherwise, it would have too shoddy a connection...
I'm guessing that switching from the 4G to this casing (2 antennas to 1 antenna) would reduce your signal by a bit, but I would not be able to tell you how much that "bit" is. Anybody willing to run some tests?

People like I, are on tmous and have the back cover on without the 4th antenna. Results are same across the board, no wifi/data/4g reduction in signal. The back works fine on the Tmous networks.
I got mine for $40 on ebay. wifi, GPS, and mobile network work just fine.
I ended up selling the original cover for $30
Just got the back yesterday from the ebay link in the OP. Took it 6 days from Hong Kong. Works just like my other backs, as in there is absolutely zero difference in operation.
where are you guys finding the cover for $30-$40? I bought mine from no.1-tech back in november and paid $32 and then gave it to my wife, now looking for another one from the same manufactuer, and its $200+ lol when did the sudden price spike take place?! are there any white ones with out the beats audio logo on the back for that price range anymore?

so i would really like to have my back cover replaced, mainly because i dropped it like skrillex... . anyhow, i would really like the black one with the red accents or a white one... but on ebay the prices are just soo much, a normal one is around 18 bucks, im ok with that but 30plus? i think is a little high, anyhow i just want to ask if anyone knows where is a good place with good prices to get either the white or black with red accents.
by the way im almost 100% sure they are all the same meaning the ones with red accents, beats audio is compatible with the tmo version and the other way around right?

Well it's not just any back cover. It's "unibody" aluminum and it has our antennas in it
The only WHITE back cover I can find in the US is on an Ebay listing for $56 and says it's for the Sensation XE. Any idea if this will work for the USA TMO Sensation?
My cover has got some wear and scuffs too and I'm looking for a re-fresh. I found one Ebay listing that used to sell them for $29, then bumped it up to $39, then bumped it up to $49 and finally, bumped it up to $249!! He's sold one at $249.

Not so sure about that because Non-TMO Sensations (and XE's by extension) only has 3 antenna contacts vs 4 contacts on the TMO version. It might work but they included 4 contacts there for a reason so your mileage will definitely vary.

There's a thread that already discusses this, but in short, I use it with the 3 contacts and everything works. I am on tmous in Texas.

But then why you can get a normal one for maybe 17 bucks? But the white one is a lot of money and the beats one is 30 plus... I really don't see the why on the prices differences, I'm sure the cost to put some red accents or white plastic is not that much to justify it.

It's more expensive because that's what people want to buy. Not as many people are looking for a stock replacement back cover... supply and demand buddy.
the same without the sarcasm please?? im well aware of that, i do still think is extremely high for just different colors...
I need to replace mine soon, but would like to know I'd the power button is included with a new back cover?
My Sensation had one to many falls and now is very hard to switch on and off. I hope that a new back cover and power button will fix this.

To be sure it's not your cover, take it off and press the power button without the cover. Be sure it's not the cover! Otherwise you'll just blow some cash for something you didn't really need! and yes, the power button is included as well as the volume
Just a bit of info, not every country that HTC in just sends a new back door.I'm arguing the toss with HTC UK because i need new volume buttons.They want me to send the whole device for repair as "they need to check serial numbers for warranty"
