Enjoy!

Let's remember how odd this will look if you're trying to go on an airplane with a small Altoids tin with batteries in it!

This is really cool. Thanks!

It´s really nice, but for this price for one pice (20$) and the time to build it, it´s cheaper and easier to buy it ready made.
I get it for 10€ incl. shipping and then with four batteries.

Wizard Crashed During Flash...Just Thought I'd Share

For some odd reason my wizard likes to say the battery is full when its actually dead and that it's dead when it's really full. Well a few days ago I was reflashing to try and take care of the issue and it died during the middle of flashing. It would only goto the bootloader screen and would not charge. Well I decided I'd post a few pictures of my recovery technique utilizing my wife's phone. Cat5 cable striped at the end and twisted to each of the positive and negative battery terminals and the Blackberry's battery put it so I could use it to power the wizard.

The FlyGrip is a cool gadget that lets you hold your phone with one hand, it even has a built in kickstand! I've been an avid supporter, and I think it sells for around $30.
A site called ACSyndicate has a giveaway for one, I think it's awesome... I have the white version, and love it. It is secure and can be attached to most cases, I've used it on my Defender and ToughSuit among TPU and other cases...
For those wanting to enter the giveaway, here's the link!

What do you guys think?

It can be used with any Android device just about
That $30 piece of plastic....yea, I remember this. Cool concept but ridiculously overpriced. I've seen Chinese clones of these things for $4.

Hey Amazon! Make a Kindle HDX PRO!

How about this?
New unit (6 months from now) - with WHITE LEDs and guaranteed no blue/purple fringe around the screen. 4800 mAh battery instead of the lightweight 4500 mAh version. As promised battery life with 4 HOUR charge time. So what if it's a little heavier? If I want a powerhouse tablet, I don't mind a little more heft. Particularly if the heft is worth it!

I guess you watch videos more than do reading ... the blue/purple haze is very annoying.

[Hardware] JXD S18 Mini Pad + Battery mod HTC One X [Modification]

I was so tired of this **** battery, i took the time meanwhile to do my modification that i had in my mind for so long..
Original battery was about the same in size and capacity as a BL-C4(nokia 6310 battery).
Now it has a HTC One X (3.7VDC 1800mAh 6.66Whr) battery in it.
Here is it:

}
Lets dent it a bit so it fits (carefully of course)
Works perfectly fits like if its the oem battery
Nice :good:
HOWEVER, i do not recommend you to do the same. As its not so good for a lipo battery to be dent as much as i did, and im not sure if this will be safe. So keep in mind if you do the same, its your own responsibility.

Fake battery?

The right is the original. Is the one to the left fake? Speaking of the original, is it still safe to use?

Nothing on the left battery leads me to think it is fake, it just looks like a later production run than the one on the right.
I would think it's safe to use... I would put it in mine without hesitation.
I think it depends on the price you paid.. The original battery still seems to cost more than 20 euros... So everything above 30 I would consider a real one.
The fake batteries match the original one closely these days... Still their capacity is less. You might find out by using some battery tools that deteine the capacity or measure yourself if you can.
