I am looking to change out the battery on my U11 which has seen better days and is simply deteriorating without much usage. Does anyone know of dealers that have confirmed authentic batteries for it and the U12+? Eventually I'll also change the one in the latter. Extra points for EU/EEA dealers.

I've bought a screen for my u12+ and the old one m7. The m7 seems original and all good, the u12+ I'm still waiting for it. It should come next week...
They don't seem to have the battery for the u12+ but send an email asking for it. They didn't have the screen for the u12+ and I asked them and that's why they have it now xD

Mugen Power Battery Case for HTC One XL video review. The case comes in black and white colours, check their website. I have made the video review below. Link to their website is http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/htc-one-xl.html I love these guys have bought batteries for my HTC Sensation and Desire Z and they perfom so much better than the stock batteries. Dont buy those cheap ones of ebay which cost less than $40. They wont last as long as these guys. Hit Thanks If you like
Just a public service announcement as well. If you want something more "generic" which can power just about any mobile device (though admittedly it won't be as integrated as Mugen's battery cases - which are very good if you want that form factor), Daily Steals has what looks to be a good one on sale (mon 8/6):

The reviews shows these guys as shady, but I did buy a gnex from them and besides a delay in the shipping, they fulfilled their end of the transaction.
Definitely will be ordering one. If the 6000 is only a little bit more I'm assuming that is the one to get...? I'm so glad Magen finally went through with these. When you get yours write a first impressions/review!!

6000 is a little excessive considering our battery is 1800. We only need 3200 to make it last pretty darn long but yeah like you said it's only a bit more

Looks nice... but damn that price is pretty high. Guess when push comes to shove at the end of my contract I'll get one of these.
From what I see, the 6000mah you'll have to charge it separate, the 3200 mah one you can charge in the same time with the phone... Does it makes it much thicker? Just curious, cause I still think the stock one is plenty enough for me.

I wish there was a noname one out for our phones, I would have bought one already :/ I've always had a noname extended battery. I love having it I never have to turn anything off and still get 4+ hours of screen time with plenty to spare when I get home at night
just want to see how much thicker it makes the phone. I kind of enjoy the profile of the HTC One X
I'm concerned about the speakerphone being muted with that case. It already isn't that loud without a case on it.
I sure would like to see it and see how thick it is, love the feel of the phone now.

I think they have published the sizes
the 3200mah is 14mm thick
the 6000mah is 22mm thick
Check the sizes here as well - 6000mAh and 3200mAh
Anyone has real photos of this one with the phone?
My order is 12 days away, remember I will put the video review up once I get the battery. I got the 3200mAh btw
I want one, but it's more than I paid for the phone itself on contract -______-
If your video is good I'll definitely be buying one. I really want to be able to use this phone all day. 3 hours of conservative screen on time isn't enough. I want at least 5-6 hard use.

I would really like to get a white case! Man the things I'll be able to do with my phone all day if this is good. Never have to worry about charging mid day again.
My Mugen 3200mAh Battery case finally arrived
My battery just came in the mail and the video review will be available in about 6hrs from now as i can only collect the package 2hrs from now. SO get excited people this is the only brand i trust when it comes to aftermarket batteries as they are really the capacities they specify and they peform for a very long time much better than those $30 battery cases. Video review will be up before 6pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. Juss to get an idea on delivery times it was posted on the 12th of Septemeber and arrived on the 19th of September however the battery had been ordered early August, they had no stock hence the delay but their shipping is super fast!
Well, just ordered mine...10-15 days
Thinking of getting one but it soon thick! Lol I can barely hold my phone in one hand right now

My battery has been lasting about 30 minutes tops in the last time so i decided to buy a new one (looking back i remember the battery beeing sticky on the back as if something had leaked..).
Got a first one on amazon, obviously fake since it was poorly made, although differences were subtle (the fakers seem to have gotten their hands on the original labeling foils, so these were identical). Also i got weird results in Nexus One battery calibrator app , e.g. 104856mAh for a 1.400mAh battery (see screenshots). Long story short, i sent i back thinking it was impossible to get a genuine batteries on amazon...
So i turned up the official HTC store (cant post the link.. htcaccessorystor dot com) and ordered a Bravo Battery...and was really surprised to see the same allegedly faked values in the Nexus one battery calibrator app....also de foils werent attached tightly in some places and just now wenn i took it out with my fingernail a piece of foil came off. my original htc battery came with the phone 3 years doesnt have a scratch and shows completely different and realistic values. After ~14h of usage (mostly standby) the new battery is now down to 10% and demanded the charger...(not that bad actually but still, with my custom rom it should last a lot longer).
So now I´m asking myselft whether even they are selling us the fakes or what?! Or maybe the fakes have become too good so even they can´t tell lol...
Do the "strange" values from the app prove that the battery has been manipulated?
where are my attachments? edit: there they are...
hey blaxxxun44
Have a look to this screenshot from my phone with a so called "official" battery :
I get two "official" batteries with the same symptom before so I stopped to search anymore.
I get full refund for defective or fake item from the two sellers but this one come from HTCaccessories too ...
maybe I'll buy a mugen power if this one dies ...
Last one with 1 year last 15min... I buy a original battery too and going to receive in 1h (DHL)... Any advice for first time charging?
Interesting..what app was that screenshot with?

same here
buying "original" batteries here in germany is like a lottery (unless you want to pay 30€ in a HTC online store)
its a lot of trial and error until you find a battery that fits well in the phone AND lasts like a real original...
As it seems that I lost my second battery some days ago, I will need to go through this again in the coming weeks.
Wish me luck guys
Buy polarcell battery on ebay from german seller. Great battery!

Hey Guys,
I know this has been asked a lot of times already, but all those links point to international sites. There are a number of batteries available on ebay.in but I'm really skeptical about them.
So I was wondering if any one of you have bought one of those or from any other source and satisfied with the battery, would you please share the links?
I might buy a new phone eventually, but I want to keep this one alive It's not easy to give up on this guy!
:good:

Well if you are going for quality, buy an original one. Just google htc store. If you want something propably better go for mugen. These are expensive choices. If you want something cheap there's no big difference really, or no tests availble, so just buy the one that has the color you like.
I got my replacement battery and it has 4hours + of screen on time, which is sufficient till the next charge and enough to last me a day with heavy usage, Epower. But i think i got a bad bargain, seems a bit pricy, but more than a few months now, and the battery seems durable and it didnt explode
Someone please provide a link to any trusted product. And it should be available in India.
I bought one from eBay which supposed to be original but the new battery got quickly discharged after a few cycles and now it is also inflated. In need of a good battery.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Go to ebay and search "Replacement 2450mAh Battery for HTC Incredible S G11 Desire S G12 A7272 DesireZ" I have this one from hi-etech. No problems at all.

It isn't available in eBay India. And wherever it is available, the shipping costs are more than the product's cost.
Thank though! ☺
I bought a 2450 mAh GOLD BATTERY from eBay back in September 2013, it's still going strong. The battery was made in Japan but I bought it from a UK seller (as I live in the UK). I believe it says it's for the Desire Z on it, but both phones use the same batteries so it's fine.
So, were anyone of you able to get a replacement battery in India? Links will be really helpful!
I bought a U11 3 months ago and I really liked coming back to htc agter 9 months with s8. I was already planning to get a u12+ in summer or u11+ if the price is crazy. Now we have the specs, design and prices (a 300$ difference) so here are my questions:
-Is the u11+ really too bulky?
-How the sound quality and loudness compared to u11 using the usb dongle?
-How easy and complete is rooting your u11+ nowadays?
-In case something goes wrong with your rom after root (bad or incompatiblr zip) can you flash a rom using twrp?
-Are Dolby and v4a working?
-And finally anyone upgrading u11+ to u12+? And if yes why?

If you have to buy an HTC device i would go strait with the HTC U12+ because it would get more love from HTC and the developer community than what U11+ is getting right now and deserves.
Also the U12+ will be the only flagship device from HTC for this year so it will enjoy the full focus and attention from them add to that it will officially have Treble support.
The U11+ is the forgotten child of HTC it seems, personally i would get a Google device or the coming Samsung Note 9.
Now regarding your questions:
-Not bulky at all. Rests comfortably in my palm.
-The sound is good but i wouldn't say it's better than say the Iphone 8+ which i had previously. i can't compare it to the U11 because i don't have it but i think it should be better since it's a line upgrade.
-I haven't rooted yet because i don't want to lose warranty since i have 15 months warranty. But you can root easily by flashing Magisk through TWRP.
-Regarding ROMS there aren't many, maybe one which is close to stock with added features so i don't think it's something to hold your breath for.
-I can't confirm.
-No i won't be buying or upgrading to another HTC device unless it's a Google device.
I would agree about the u12+ if the price was more logic, but a nearly 1000$ phone is way too abusive from htc, I can get a u11+ for 600$ while the u12+ is 950$

If you don't care about software updates then get the U11+, if you do then i would suggest getting the Pixel 2 since its price is around 600+ or even less.
Now if you choose to get the U11+ be aware of 2 things:
1- The device is very dim under sunlight.
2- Light bleeding especially the bottom side, i think this is due to it being an IPS display. Personally i am never going to buy another device with an IPS display, i can deal with Amoled screen burn which is easy to prevent but light bleeding no way.
I can't stand a phone that doesn't have an sd card slot

U11+ has an sd card slot (and 128Gb built in). Downside, it's in the SIM2 slot. So it's either 1x SIM + SD card, or 2x SIM.
Sound is markedly louder than the regular U11 (my GF has U11). Haven't compared her headphoner to mine, though.
The phone isn't at all bulky IMO.
I really like my U11+ - HOWEVER, it does have plenty little niggles and issues. None dealbreaking for me.
I'd recommend the u12+ (if it reviews well), failing that, wait and see what the next pixels are like. They're what I'll be after next.
U12+ is coming too late here and too expensive, I will play with the u11+ till the u12+ price drops under 800$ (will be 950ish here in July)

Through HTC Club I preordered the HTC U12+ at £629.00. The U12 + direct from HTC is $799.00 and should have 10% off if you buy through the HTC Club.
