To solve the Gps problem with a think extend battery, you need to stick an aluminum on the upper right corner [a thread said]

is it better to buy the original (middle link) or is the replica (last link) okay? would it damage the diamond?

im thinking i should go with the original battery?
unless there is a battery with more power, but same size??
hoping you guys can help!
Thanks

hi
i use this external accupack:
http://cgi.ebay.at/externer-Akku-f-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262
i can fully charging my diamond two times

there is a battery that gives you a extra 100 mah but don't know where to find it anymore however.
I'm using the officiele batterypack from htc it self.
2600 mah. it's not so much as other ones but thisone gives you de double amp, the same as your phone adaptor. Most of them give only 500 like a usb port.

MugenPower 1000mAh for Touch Diamond: same size as the 900mAh, no need for special cover ... MugenPower are known for high quality batteries -- I for one have their 3000mAh version for the Diamond. I don't trust no-name batts, especially off ebay (and I do a lot of ebay shopping).

i ended up buying an original HTC battery as a back up, from ebay for £7

extended battery?

Not that the nexus battery life is awful, its just not great and id pay a decent amount for longer battery life.
I found a 1500 for like $60 as opposed to the stock 1400, but i dont know what that means, how much more phone time does that equate to? And can we expect 1600? 1700+? Will there be better options than the 1500? And what are the trusted brands/websites in extended batteries? thanks.
I intend to have this phone for a good while. With my g1 and mytouch i never cared enough to look for a better battery so i know little about them.

I don't think it will be possible to extend the capacity using the same volume batteries. Don't believe offers, who promise more capacity but have same size as original battery! 99.99% is hoax.
1500mAh should last 7% longer. Not worth 60bucks imho.

A 1500 mAh battery will last about 7% longer than the stock 1400 mAh battery. I would not recommend spending that kind of money on such a little increase in battery life.
In a nutshell, the mAh is the capacity of the battery. Higher mAh (miliAmperehours) means longer battery life.

I would like to add that the 1500mah battery is probably third party and lower quality, off setting the fact that it has an extra 100mah.

interesting. So can more capacitive third party batteries be expected, i.e. 1600+? And would it be misguided to hope for HTC to directly offer a worthwhile extended battery? thanks for the helpful replies...

At some point I'm sure an aftermarket battery will be offered which replaces the battery cover too, but it'll make the phone an unusual shape...
For now you could consider something like the Motorola P790 and a microUSB adapter. It's an external 1700mAh li-ion pack that sells for about 15 bucks. It has a miniUSB charging port and a miniUSB power port, so you'll need an adapter or a cable of some sort to use it with the N1.

I hope that LI-PO packs become standard. This will be helpful to keep the device the same size and maybe lighter?

what really get me is that all these mobile phone company's know that batteries will always be the number one complaint from customers. so why not just fix the problem and make everyone happy?

What about 3500 mAh for the N1?
This was a cool find. I haven't fully accepted it is worthwhile yet, but for $70 and 3500mAh solar/usb/AC rechargable, it might be a great accessory to have. (just keep a short Micro USB cable with it)

Thats because their advertised 2000 mah TP2 battery was around 1200mah in reality, 300mah less than the stock battery.
http://batteryboss.org/
If they haven't significantly stepped up quality from their TP2 days, then this 1850 battery will have significantly less capacity than the stock battery.

Ill try one
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g

So has anybody that said they would try using one of these actualy ordered it and done so?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I have ordered and used mine for 3 days. Seems to last less than the stock OEM battery. I'm sticking with the Seidio 3300 mAh battery tho

I bought one and used it for a week. For 10 bucks its OK as a spare. I cannot tell any difference in endurance between this battery and stock.

Yep, didn't see much of any change good or bad. Decent spare for the price, that's about all.

i heard Yoobao had a great 2800mah battery that lasts for a very long time. its on ebay for $25 and i plan on getting one for my epic soon (when i get it )....

Is it at least a little heavier than the stock battery?

nope. a little under 4grams lighter

X-ray of batteries

My experience is that the cheap e-bay batteries just makes the phone unstable. The 2450mAh gold battery works fine. However, here is an x-ray of the three different batteries. Looks like there is a little difference in the circuits. Even though it doesn't say much, I think it's interesting, but then again I'm a bit of a nerd....

Since the Gold battery got more Mah it would last longer, right?
Does it really last much longer? How much?

The gold batteries are just labeled as having a larger capacity but in general they have less than samsung batteries. I´m having here some of them around and would say they are about the half of what they are labeled to be. So not really a good choice exept you get them really cheap (5€ each) like I did.

AFAIK Samsung batteries are "bumb" ones- there's only overcharge protection circuit (even for high-end models) and NFC antenna for "N" model.
Some older models (like i5700) had also resistor to distinguish original batteries from knock-offs (if resistor was missing or had incorrect value bootloader didn't charge the battery at all).
I'd say there's not much to investigate

Do other type of larger batterys like the gold one have overcharge protection? if i bought a unoffical battery whats the % chance of it blowing up?

bigger battery?

As we all know you cant remove battery in note 5, but today when i got it they mentioned battery replacement in 1 year for free. So then i googled it and found the case on the back does come off, unscrew in 14 slots and you see samsungs battery and can remove it. So if that is possbile can we add more juice? Example on note 3 it comes with 3200mAh right? On ebay i bought a 4200mAh same size. So if back case is removable and the battery is replaceable this should be possbile?

The only issue I could see running into a bigger battery would be fitting it inside the phone. Those Chinese manufacturers that claim they are 5000mAh and the same physical size are yanking your chain, or are just terrible batteries. I'm sure if Samsung could have fit a larger capacity battery in the device, they would have. Your best bet is a Mophie or other external battery case.

Is the battery i got inside my note 3. Its actually a bit slimmer than samsungs battery, and the extra 1000 mAh is noticable as in the phone lasted longer and didnt discharge as fast. I found on ebay people selling note 5 internal batterys at 3000mAh. So im guessing no 1 has made a battery with more juice same size yet or they are in the process. But lets say note 5 active...the rumors of a bigger battery. If it is exactly the same size and everything is the same...we should be able to buy the active battery and inerset it right?

Obviously this isn't a bigger battery, but reaches the same goal. http://www.mophie.com/shop/juice-pack-note-5

because of what samsung stated. The 4gb, higher resoultion, chipset all should drain the battery because of the power hungryness. Due to the chipset being more...advance, power compustion is reduced by like 40% or something. Plus the fast charging and being more energy effceint.
as for the power case, yes i got 2 of them as well

Battery seems ok this phone hasnt had 2 full cycles yet
