What replacement battery would you recommend for HTC Universal

Hi All,
Firstly, this is my first post, so please be gentle with me. (correction, I mean the first thread i have started)
I scoured the forum and have found lots of comments on the ilk of "my battery has failed at x%", but no-one seems to have made any comments on a replacement battery that they recommend or a web link that you could use to purchase one.
So, of you guys and girls that have bought a replacement, can you please give us the benefit of your experience regarding what you feel is great or what to avoid like the plague?
Thanks one and all!
James

Akku Polarcell
Hi,
I bought a new battery and everything works fine. I can use my universal with activated wlan till 0%. Also the charging-time decreased enormous. The battery comes from ebay (Germany).
Label: Akku Polarcell, For Qtek 9000, 3.7V Li-Polymer Battery, 1650mAh
Price: 14,90€
Seller: wannsee-electronic
Bye

I bought my battery from eBay - the cheapest one I could find. It works ok, but not as good as the original. I think others have had bad experiences and it seems really hit and miss on eBay, so I would only go on recommendation from someone else. The original was so expensive, I really couldn't justify spending that much!

I think you mean this is the first thread you have opened I've seen you about. That name of yours kind of sticks in the memory. (Dont explain. we dont want to know)
I got a new battery off a UK seller on Ebay 7-8 weeks ago for £5 plus P&P. He said it was genuine and it looked like the genuine article. It shorted out after 4 weeks but he sent me another. so far so good. What do you get for under a tenner?

HTC HD2 Extended Battery with Kickstand up for pre-order in the UK

British electronics e-tailer Clove has started listing a new £53 ($86) HD2 accessory that should be of interest to everyone who owns or plans on owning the device. We always thought that generous 4.3-inch screen could do with some backside support, and indeed the new kickstand-equipped extended battery will provide just that. You'll also get a nice energy bump, as the new accessory is set to double the 1,230mAh capacity of the default juice pack. Deliveries are expected by Clove in February, meaning it shouldn't be too long before this official appendage makes its global debut -- let's just hope other nations don't have to suffer as much wallet damage as the UK.

shouldnt be it posted in HD2 accessories section ?
Btw its a nice battery but tehy didnt mention what will be the battery .
double the 1230 = ( 1230x2 ) = 2460mAh
WOW if it true and equally amazing kickstand...

Spare Battery - UK

Has anyone come across a UK or European supply for spare batteries?
I do a bit of geocaching so a spare battery always comes in handy.

I have not found any suppliers in the UK selling the battery yet. Even though Defy has a good battery life I still like to carry a spare battery with me as well.

I'm also after a spare battery, always useful to have.
I've raised a support request with Motorola UK asking them where / when they will be available. They should be available in their own online store at least.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the popularity of the DEFY might be taking them by surprise.

I did a little bit of research lastnight and the only official accessories is available for Motorola Defy is the battery door/cover going for $9.99.

It appears the battery door is sold by amazon (at checkout time) but when I visited amazon.com (US) I could not find it. Nonetheless, this is rather a good news that it is possible to replace the battery door in case it wears off or damaged.

doesn't any other motorola phone use the same battery?
the milestone 2 uses a 1540mah battery, can anyone confirm whether they are the same.

The Bravo uses the same battery but that is a US only device.

I am thinking best to wait for a Moto official battery.

I would prefer an official Motorola one, but if nothing is forthcoming in the next couple of weeks I'll buy a 3rd party battery.
Northing back from my Motorola support request as of yet.

I have just ordered this one.
Lets see how it works.

Defy battery now available on the motorola site $40 just seen it.

Well, i just recieved to emails: One with the notification "payment recieved" and the other a little bit later from paypal, saying that my payment has been paid back - my order is canceled.
I dont think those shops got any Defy Batteries stock.

Well, got a couple of garbled emails back from Motorola - god I hope I don't need any real support with this phone
One email in broken English suggested to contact expansys, who don't yet list the BF5X (in fact, they misleadingly list the MILESTONE battery as an accessory for the DEFY, when in fact it is physically the wrong shape).
The next email that arrived a day later told me they would be in touch when they knew where and when they would be selling any batteries!
It's quite funny but I also pointed out that their sites for online registration don't list the DEFY in the models dropdown. So they directed me to another Moto UK site that doesn't list the DEFY!
I've found this place in the US that have them in stock, take PayPal and ship internationally:
http://www.thinkmotorolabravo.com/motorola-bravo-battery-oem-13558.html
So have ordered one as I can't be arsed waiting for Motorola UK to work out where they are and what they're doing.

Any news on actually avaible third party spare batterys?

13 USD for 2 batteries =) + Charger and Micro USB Cable

Not so much looking for a spare battery as much as an higher capacity battery. Any word on something like that?

Just been browsing ebay UK & found the following - 3.7v 1800mah. Can't post a link due to being a newbie but it's on ebay.co .uk & the item number is 200569859076.
Is very cheap in price so I'm wondering what it would be like in reality - too cheap to be any good?

x10 v/s galaxy3

Hello ppl
i'm thinking of getting a x10 in replacement for my g3..is it a good choice
x10i is not new.. + it doesn't boot it has this red led of death (that's what its called i think)
anyway so will i b able to get it to work again..also the owner says that the motherboard has crashed!! <- is that possible??
plz your opinions and advice would really help, especially from ppl who have played around with their x10
thanks

i see your in india so x10 is prices at 26,000.INDRS so there are much better options, the reason is x10 is pretty outdated and SE doesnt decide to drop its price so its better to get a newer phone
Dual core's
Atrix(poor battery management!but good performance) - around RS.26,000
HTC EVO 3D(not out yet but pretty good specs) - around RS.25,000
Galaxy sII(best phone so far) - around 30,000
1 Ghz core
nexus s - 26,000
milestone II
Droid incredible
Galaxy s

X10i is available for much lesser price, around 20000 INR, I'll suggest a Galaxy s2, or if you want to purchase within INR 20000, go for x10i or galaxy ace. Edit: Even galaxy S is available in India for 18000 INR.

I'm not buying a new x10...
It's a second hand phone with the problems i've mentioned in my first post...

put in some extra money and get the SII!

I think the red led means that the battery is just way to flat. Leave it charging for a long time and I hear it comes right and will turn on. X10 is a good phone, if its cheap go for it, I love mine and theres a fair bit of support for it here.

only buy faulty hardware if u are getting it dirt cheap, meaning < 10k INR for X10 (faulty)
cause a new battery itself will cost u 1500 to 2500 INR... and that doesnt include any hardware repairs (if its out of warranty)... otherwise that another 500 INR (labor/repair center charges) + cost of actual parts used...

Buy the s2 or the g3 not the x10 the x10 is the last bullsh*t

need help regarding new battery

guys the battery that came with my phone has started getting swelled. so i m thinkin of buyin a new battery for my phone
i tried searching the battery on ebay and i found a expensive one and a cheaper one
the expensive one is b600be series and comes in a samsung packaging (the one in my phone is also b600be)
the cheap one is b600bc series and comes in loose packaging and does not have nfc capabilty
also
although i dont want nfc and would like to save some bucks i am not sure if the b600bc one is original althouh the seller has mentioned it as original and also gives 6 months warranty . i found a plenty of top rated sellers which were selling the b600bc battery
any idea or suggestions regarding which one should i buy ?

Original Samsung batteries should have NFC. Only fake batteries don't have NFC.
Also, fake batteries tend to swell faster.

okay
thnx for the info i m gonna but the original one then.

What is Nfc??
