I purchased this battery a week ago, and have been using it all week.
I am very happy with it so far! It does add bulk to the phone, but surprisingly i find it better to handle. It feels solid and fits in my hand better. I just upgraded to the Sprint Simply Everything plan, so i have been doing A LOT of media / email / internet stuff. I use the phone heavily between all the features, and the battery only goes down to 70% by the end of the day.
If you are looking for an extended battery, this is the way to go!
10/10!

OH YEAH!
More info ...
This battery cover has four corner/edge nubs instead of just two on the regular cover. SO ... when your Touch is on it's back it doesn't rattle or rock when you tap on it with your stylus. THAT WAS VERY ANNOYING TO ME! lol
Also, i was wondering if the battery cover was hollow in the places where the battery wasn't coming in contact. It is a hollow shell cover, but it is sturdy. I haven't had any issues with it. If anything, it would be a GREAT place to stash cool stuff like a rolled up $100 bill, a spare MicroSD card, drugs ... use your imagination!
The End
can the one they are selling on dealextreme be used for our p6900's? i know that one is for p3450 or something.. but will the back cover fit? someone wrote there that the battery does work on our phones but the cover doesnt fit properly and he had to cut it to fit? anyone else on this board has tried this option yet or is everyone spending over $50 for battery?
I looked at the one on dealextreme along with about 20 other web sites. I finally decided on a 2400 mAh battery by mugen power. I paid 69 US for it and shipping was free at nakedcellphone.net
When it finally arrived I was absolutely impressed for the following reasons:
the capacity of the battery is more than twice as long as the OEM bat;
the back cover is thicker than the oem cover but does not have the hump;
although thicker, it actually fits in my hand more comfortably. I like the way the phone feels much better;
the chrome ring around the camera lens looks identical to the original, and as one would expect the diameter at the outside is larger to avoid an optic tunnel;
color matching is identical to the Sprint Vogue.
This phone rocks!
yea the only problem i had with the dealextreme one was the back cover.. the battery is amazing.. lasts me forever.. but the back cover is quite ugly and doesn't fit the vogue properly.. it leaves a lil gap at the bottom.. i think its designed for the GSM version .. but the battery itself is amazing.. just incase u wanna buy it just for the battery...

I looked at naked cellphone on ebay and was interested in the cradle they offer and possibly 2 extended batteries (i'd put the OEM away for a last ditch backup) but does the extended batter fit in a cradle properly with the larger battery installed? Any success here?
Thanks

MNN -
Sorry for the delayed response. No, the extended battery will not fit into the majority of cradles out there. But when I googled close to 50 different web sites selling accessories for the vogue, I stumbled across 1 or 2 who were advertising that they had cradles that would fit the thicker phones with ext bats. Sorry I don't have a site to give you but you should be able to find it if you haven't already.
Update to the Mugen Power 2400 extended battery:
It has awesome battery life, like a week or more on standby. I can get hours and hours of of GPS, phone use, mp3, web, etc. at least 8 hours or more. I love the phone.

Does the battery work well now?
Does anyone know dinodirect.com?
This site is also selling HTC replacement batteries. To guarantee your phone life span, I would recommend you to use original battery.
SKU: A0324000KD
This replacement can be applied to 6900.
I ordered HTC Touch battery from dealextreme, but i never received my order so far.. So i reordered it from Chinabuye, an online store from China. I received ontime with free ship cost. Through paypal, payment i made easily and find its safe with them. When it comes to quality, its good one and brand sytlish. Rates are quite cheaper and has discount features.
Chinabuye !
I think it will better to use online Shop from China Chinabuye rather than dealextreme !
Chinabuye has more payment options and free shipping option ! which make buyer attractive to buy ! and also it has great quality products !
The battery and cover I just purchased today are these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-BACK-DOOR...662959?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45ebf8516f
Looks like a really good price on the battery and I'm crossing my fingers that they cover will fit - looks like it should.
Good luck on finding the battery. These Vogues are all coming up on end of life for the batteries it seems as they can only be charged so many times.
I have my stock 1300mah and bought the 1750mah which I am far less thrilled with than others (it is longer, but not much). I note some people like the idea of having multiple batteries, but my view of the Incredible cover, and the tiny hooks that keep it in place, is that one is better off not opening and closing it too much. Am I incorrect here?

I would tend to agree with you, I used to change batteries quite often on my Touch Pro 2 but after the tabs broke off the second cover I stopped unless absolutely neccessary.

I also got the Seido 1750 battery but it was a big improvement for me... i used to have to charge my phone every night and it would be dead by the end of the day from like a 9am to 10pm spread.. now with the seido one it goes a day and a half before dying
Hmmmmmmmm

You and I are running VERY different apps, I guess. Mine is in my pocket the whole day, albeit in a very old steel and concrete building. I suspect battery drain has a lot to do with signal, anyway.
I am running BatteryTime Lite, which I know is a bad idea; and I do pull email and weather every hour or so; but I could never do a day and a half.

My experience with the Seidio is about the same as yours.
I used my Touch Pro 2 battery for a few days and definately an improvement. I just didn't like the way it fit in the incredible so I ordered the one that's made for the phone (haven't got it yet).

I can get about a day and a half out of mine with the stock battery in it. That's with light to moderate useage, 4 or 5 calls a day, 3 or 4 texts and about a dozen emails (plus I probably just play with it for at least an hour or so). I have it set to download weather and email every hour. I don't know if it makes a difference but I turn of Bluetooth unless I am using it and I only use the wifi when in my office with a good connection.
Update - Seidio 175 mAh Battery
OK, I received my Seidio battery and have only ran 2 charges through it but here is my experience so far...
With my normal usage I get approximately 1 1/2 days from the stock battery and it is DEAD.
I have the Seidio battery in now and I took it off the charger yesterday morning, it is now 11:00am here and my battery is at 66%.
I don't know about you but in my eyes that is a major improvement!
A note on the Seidio battery:
It is not the same battery as their Touch Pro 2 battery, it fits better. I used the touch Pro 2 battery in it for a day or 2 but regardless of what everybody is saying, the Touch Pro 2 battery doesn't fit right in my books.
Sure, it fits in the phone and you can put the battery door on it just fine but it is tight.
When you really notice it is taking the cover off with the Touch Pro 2 battery in the Incredible. It is hard to get the cover off. Maybe it's just me but I would rather spend the extra money on the right battery than have to replace the cover because the very fragile little tabs that hold it on have broken off from being over stressed.
Just my 2 cents worth, I'm sure the results will vary with other users.
I currently work out of my home and have a good strong wifi connection, the above test is with wifi on for the entire time, and Bluetooth off when not in use (not really sure if that matters yet). I only use bluetooth when I go some where in my truck so I had it on for about an hour yesterday.

I mean.... 10 dollar shipping... these things aren't even selling... I hear this brand sucks buuutttt the price??
eh i dunno. You could end up with a battery that barely exceeds your stock on, and your phone is bigger than a brick.

Good point.... Guess I'll wait and try for a seido
I bought one from a similar seller, should be here by the end of the month. I'll let you know the results.
Why not just get it and see?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I bought one myself a few weeks ago. Big mistake. So much added bulk and it lasted on average a half hour more than my stock 1300 mAh battery. Skip this one and move on. Save yourself the disappointment.
I bought 2 of those w/ a charger for $20 shipped a while back. At first, both batteries outperformed the stock and the Seidio 1750 battery by quite a bit. However, after about 3 months, the performance dwindled down to being on par with the stock 1300. They worked well in the beginning, but wore themselves out rather quickly.
Bit the bullet and bought a Sedio 3500 and haven't looked back.
Purchased a similar battery and will never do so again. Battery was shot within a month.

Have you found a decent case for the larger size back?
just gonna say, I honestly feel that it's worth springing for the 3500 seidio.
Mines lasted through 5 months, with really good longevity. And is still kicking with the same (as far as i can tell) amount of capacity.
When I'm not going crazy with power use during school the battery will last around 4 days of pretty normal use.
When it comes to like super power use the battery will last 2 days. And I'm talking about 6-10 hours of browsing the internet, a bunch of texts, music, youtube, xda, etc.
So at least to me, I'd rather pay more (in this case definitely a difference in price) and know I'm getting a good product.
Mine just came today. Will condition it very well now that I'm hearing all the negative comments and report back with results. It does add bulk but that's really not a big deal to me. Happy to have the camera lens covered now though.
Well I've been using it for the past couple days, and the only complaint that I have that it goes down about one percent every minute once it gets to 10%. Getting a good solid 2 days out of it after pretty heavy use. Not bad for $10. I like now I can put my phone down flat and not risk the camera.
Pictures please?
My Seido 3500 mAH came today. Still charging the thing ;P
Looks great so far.
lol that battery reads "replacement for EVO4".
I think they're compatible anyhow.
Quality batteries are always better than the cheap ones of course, I personally wouldn't buy it even for the $10.
Using my Seido since about 7:30. Regular usage, texting and such and I'm at 78 percent, as long as the battery on Warm 2.2 is accurate anyway
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6U0N56/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 You CANNOT beat the price for this quality.
Double battery lasts 2+ days...I don't have to worry about listening to too much music and plugging in every night or during the day.
Great customer service from Hyperion in the USA.
(I broke the plastic back while unpacking and they quickly sent me another.)
Of course it makes the phone thicker which I actually like cause I have big hands and it won't fit in cases but to not worry about battery running low it makes good sense for me.
mine lasts all day easy i cant run it down i ca t be heavy user i always thought i was

Eh.... I'm good with a second oem battery. I rather not make my phone bulky.

I feel the same. 3 Oem batteries total and oem battery charger. I can go a week without recharging.
Those extended battery doors are ugly and of low quality finish and I like having a pretty phone. Plus there are no cases that fit that door except if the manufacturer releases one for the product and that will limit you to that case or perhaps a slim bumper.
I spend so much time driving, Having a car dock (ProClips) keeps me at 70% average all day. Driving from one place to another. 15 minutes here, 10 there. Keeps it topped off
Besides being hideously ugly I absolutely love it.

Heh, couldn't agree more. Hyperion is a highly respected company in electric R/C car racing, so I'm sure it's a high quality battery.
But that sucka is big!
I have the Hyperion for my S3 and never got the hours that I did with the OEM batteries so with the Note 2 I decided to get the OEM batteries and as the previous poster mentioned that. Provides all I need.

But this phone, on stock battery is a beast...I think at best I'll buy a backup battery, but even hammering on this It lasts all day.

oh and 3h21m screen on time.
i don't understand why not just get these?

if you're the type of person who can't manage to charge your phone every night, I assume you have a backpack of sorts you carry around with you. put it there, and bring it out when you need it.
i realize this wholly a personal thing, and it's your life, blah blah blah...but really though, just get a battery pack.
^^^ not to mention it doubles the weight of the phone and without good cases for these, you better have insurance when you drop your phone.
Yeah I'd get that battery pack and a second oem battery.. Done with the whole extended battery experience (had one for my s2 and hated it,. And didn't even need all the juice
Plus I just dropped too much money on cases for this phone.
