It seems as if there is a bad design flaw in the battery compartment on this phone. Whatever is behind the battery next to the sim gets really hot and transfers heat into the battery(Not a good idea if you read up on batteries)
Im trying to put a spacer between there so it does not get in direct contact with the battery. We will see how it goes. IF not, They will be sending me a different phone.
Heck, my Rezound got above 140 degrees in my first unit, Verizon told me the battery was still good and to use it when I got a CLN replacement.
Some of the battery's red paint is now on the new unit's door, got a bunch of silver lines showing on the pack from all the heat stress its been through
yea thats what happen to my other batt...Try putting some paper under the battery so that it dont touch the hot parts where the sim is...the phone seems MUCH cooler now to me that way...if this is the problem I am gonna demand something else from verizon
None of them were 3.8v btw....its a spacing issue between the hot stuff and the battery guys....I can confirm it now...my battery hasnt got over 37.3 when charging now....its running so much cooler to the touch even now. .....hmmmm htc.....Id rather have a brick of a phone than a overheater soldering iron phone
now in at 36c while charging...its cooling down! yay
Yay now 35c......hmmmmmmmm weird isnt it?
maybe they should vent the back....i just cut a square hold around it so the battery can breathe and now the temps seem even better....will report back

Is it just me or is the freaking cpu and radios right under the battery? There was a bunch of shots someone posted in the forums here and I believe under the shield the cpu and radio was under the battery

If you guys are looking for a good material to use, the paper-gasket material for making your own gaskets (for automotive use) is pretty good at insulating from heat.

But that heat has to go somewhere, no? I mean, it sucks that it's going into the battery, but could you potentially damage something else by bottling up that heat? It's probably nowhere near enough heat to damage the CPU, I suppose.
This isnt my problem or any other users...we shouldn't have to do anything to a product that is supposed to work.....Ive been noticing though that the phone has been dying quicker since its been getting hotter outside....but that gasket material is a good idea
i'm having trouble visualizing this... pics?
You are just putting some kind of material under the battery and just mashing the battery in hard so it still fits, but now has a little bit of insulation?
but you dont put heat into lion batteries...as they heat up they self discharge really fast....after an hour of leaving it there now im only at 94 percent...and I can promise you its lasting a lot longer now and running a ton cooler....I think the reason the extended battery lasts so much longer is because it has more metal to heat up than the regular batt does.....Im seriously about to class action lawsuit vzw and htc for selling such a badly designed product....good brains and beauty but the design of the battery is horrid
and yes just a little bit of something under the battery to give it insulation will do the trick

I search and don't see anyone else complaining...
But my P500h is new and the battery is tight and I'm continuing to have "adventure" I don't want to have when removing it.
Originally I tried a thin blade screwdriver in the holes to left and right of battery to pry the battery up. But plastic was getting chewed and at one point I had a SPARK ! LOL.
So I wrapped electrical tape around battery to help pull it out but it threatens to break the tape with the force needed.
So now I use my screwdriver carefully just under the SDCard and it works but I worry about slipping and messing something up.
So am I alone with this problem ? Any good way to "grease" the battery, but not too much ?
Thanks !
No problem as such. I press hard with my nail near sdcard (bottom) downword I see there's a slit on battery at that place. Press down and pull up.

Thanks 4silvertooth; I seem to recognise your username.
My SDCard is at the top to left of the camera when looking from the back with Android buttons down and headphone jack up.
I don't see any slits on the battery, just a tiny ledge at the top that I guess my screwdriver catches on. But sooner or later I will wear that off.
I just removed the tape, and it might be a bit easier to remove now, although there is some dangerous battery metal showing.
Perhaps I could wrap the battery with something stronger than electrical tape... Like those fabric like things used to pop AA etc batteries out of devices.
Well, huh... Are you sure you have the right battery inserted the right way? Because, there should not be any trouble getting it out at all. Let alone screwdrivers or anything like that needed. Goes out pretty easily with a fingernail.

It's the battery I got with the phone, and that the sales dude installed for me, and the phone works, so yes.
I get the impression my Canadian Telus P500h (Note the 'h') is different than the P500 most of you have.
This is the phone with battery installed. To the left is the phone top, and the thin blade screwdriver is over the SDCard and pointing to where I am prying the battery out. The pens at top and bottom of the pic are where I originally pried and now have broken plastic and some semi-exposed battery metal. At top of the pic (right of the phone) is where I got the sparks.

So I'm guessing from your descriptions of how easy it is, that there must be one or more things different on my phone.

Looks pretty much the same except for the red piece of nonsense right below the SD card which is causing all this. Stupid design.

You think ? It's an integral part of the back body and can't be removed without breaking stuff. Right now I can't even tell if it's the up and down or left and right that are most tight. Maybe both.
And even if it was removed, the battery has no slot at the end for a fingernail. Just a slight indentation over most of the end. With the force I need to remove the battery, I think lots of people would break their fingernail.
I've just marked this down as one of the engineering shortcuts that LG made to make a phone like this for $200. Having to pull that stupid battery out every SIM change or new ROM boot freeze is getting old fast.

Actually, now that I opened the phone - it is exactly the same, it is just that your photo has some weird shade so the red nonsense looks like it is lifted up to the battery edge. So, not really getting what it your problem except perhaps for being clumsy.
well my battery not giving any such trouble. We have different disign here I think that's why the trouble.

I blew up your pic and it's hard to see, but I think I see a fingernail slot in your battery by the SDCard. Mine has no slot, just a very subtle indentation.
And my battery makes a very clear SNAP sound when I push it in. Perhaps my battery is slightly different and a bit larger than P500 batteries.
My battery part # is LGIP-400N . It also says 1500 mAh 5.6 Wh 3.7v
and at bottom it says:
(T)SBPL0102301 LLL DC101203
Even your camera says 3.2 mine it says 3.0 so anybody with same specification would be helpfully.
The battery details are exact identical to mine.
So P500h is slightly different from P500.

I have a p500h, just like yours (3.2mp camera) and all you have to do is put you finger on the spot right below the SD Card, push your battery downwards then pull it towards you.

Just because it's easy for you doesn't make me an idiot.
No I'm afraid this is not a joke. And I've been working "seriously" with electronics/computer since I was a teen in the mid 1970's building everything from a vacuum tube transmitter to micros with the first generation of micros: SCMP, 8080...
And I've rebuilt automotive turbochargers and transmissions so I'm no mechanical klutz either.
Yes I know this is slowly wrecking the battery which I why I posted. In primary school I was the "smart kid" who was the only one to question something weird or incomplete the teacher said because everyone else didn't want to look "dumb" by asking. Same here.
My personal history aside I do exactly what you say: "put you finger on the spot right below the SD Card, push your battery downwards then pull it towards you."
It doesn't work on my phone. The battery doesn't move down that I can notice. When I try to pull it towards me it just won't budge and threatens to break my fingernail.
I note that there are two little tabs at the bottom. These seem to require the bottom to be placed first, then the top gets pushed in last. That's when I get a loud SNAP. I think whatever is making this SNAP is also what makes it so hard to remove the battery. The same SNAP was also made by the sales dude in the store when he installed the battery and I'm sure he does that hundreds of times a week.
The instructions in the manual are quite bad, IMO. They didn't even mention all the little film things that should be removed. Perhaps there is something else that needs to be removed that the manual didn't mention or that I overlooked. Just stabs in the dark here now.
Well, PEBKAC case excluded, since noone apparently has similar problem, then either your phone is faulty or the battery is faulty. This simply is not normal, there is absolutely no need to use screwdrivers and excessive force to do this.
Would suggest to RMA the thing.

Yes doktornotor, I suspect you are right. I suspect it might have been a bad or out of tolerance phone/battery or perhaps excessive temps or humidity or whatever during storage and shipping.
I returned another phone to get this and they already told me I can't return this one, LOL. As defective I'm sure I could, although I'd bet they'd give me a very hard time, especially considering the damage to the battery now..

Well, I have seen quite a bunch of phones almost impossible to even open. I recall one Nokia which I felt I will crush completely trying to remove the back cover. Tremendous force required. So trust me when I am saying that this one is about the most easy one to remove the back cover and the battery.
If it really bothers you since you are changing SIM cards frequently, would suggest going to some shop and test with another battery or two. If it is the battery, those are relatively cheap to get a replacement. If it is the phone, well... your screwdriver-scratched battery has nothing to do with that defect so you should not have any trouble trying to RMA it.

Yes, some good ideas.
SIMs are not the major issue. Trying ROMs that result in boot freezes are the main reason to keep popping the battery.
I wish there was a hidden hardware reset switch on these phones somewhere.
Heck, it wouldn't be hard for the designers to make such a feature that triggered by holding power, or some combinations down for 10+ seconds.
I'd buy a replacement battery off eBay for cheap. At worst you end up with the same situation and a spare battery for 5 USD or so (+ VAT or whatever y'all call it). At best you have a better-fitting battery on the cheap.
Does anyone have this as a battery that you got from ebay or whereever?
I was looking at ebay and there are some that look alright like this: http://auih.merchantrunglobal.com/I...&ImageID=3197&DisplaySize=400&ListingID=29098
it's bulky, but that's something I can live with if I am assured that you get more battery time. And how much more battery time do you get on average. Are there any problems of having a secondary battery that's not from samsung or if it has more mAh?
Thanks

Yeah, but at the end of the day you spent a bunch of money on a nice thin phone and threw it in an absolutely ugly, gigantic case with a massive battery on the back. Hardly seems worth it.
youll turn it into a iBrick, dont; please.
look i dont care about whether u think id look stupid with something that will give me more than a days.worth of battery life. thats your personal opinion and that is not answering what ive asked for.
i am asking how good is the battery life and if theres any problems in terms of surging my phone etc.
god, sometimes i feel that many ppl on these forums care about the 'look' and how much customization you can shove in a phone rather than the practical and useful side of things. where the hell are we, in a kids high school where u would customize your school books just for the sake of doing it? i dont give a ****. if i can get more hours of battery since im full business worker and not a child, i will, whether u like it or not.
Hey same kind if people(xda) said the same things about my ext battery for my vibrant. I end up getting the 2800mah battery and it doesn't look that bad in person. Videos/pictures makes the battery look worst than it is.
I bought a Chinese/off brand for like 10 bucks shipped. The original got me thru a day while the ext battery got me 3 days with heavy use. That battery is still being used by my brother and he's happy with it.
Battery never exploded, got high temperatures or anything. Also used the OEM extended battery for the hd2 with no issues.
Unless you wear skinny jeans, use a wallet/purse(lol), phone is in shirt pocket etc you want have any problems.

Hmm, I understand yr needs etc, and I know several guys have used this 3500 mAH battery, with no complaints. I'm not sure about battery life.
BTW, a lot of this depends on yr actual battery usage etc. I get over 2 days now with my new ROM with crazy heavy use, so I think that that's more than I need. Certainly MUCH better than iPhone etc ...
But - "each to his own'
So i got my new 3500mah battery with the cover and must i say the cover does a great job to not make the phone look so bulky.
And as for the battery. Excellent! It can hold way more than the previous not by just a few hours, but near over a working days worth of battery life and thats including listening to music, checking emails, playing a game, going online and even watching a movie.
To let u know how far it can go, I had the battery at 88% and i watched a 2hr movie full brightness. Once im done the batt level was only at 78%.
And as for just taking calls now and then plus going online occasionally and reading emails (on full sync) ive manage to get way over a days worth of battery - i havent used any special app to make the battery longer.
So for all the haters out there, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself if you havent tried the product and start making assumptions. That gives people a bad thought of things when they are given misleading information to which you dont have any primary source to back you up. That type of attitude is what makes apple fan users of who they are.
Anyone bought this battery already?
Care to give more reviews about it?
I'm quite interested in it actually.
I bought one of these recently, the price on it is ridiculous but if you want a battery that will never die this is it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-verizon-htc-rezound-with-battery-door.html
It comes with a new back with a kickstand on it which is nice & it still fits in my HTCpedia extended battery case.
I am really hard on battery life as I stream audio all day at work (Iheart radio & Sirius online) & that really burns up battery life.. The VZ extended battery makes it a little over 8 hours usually doing that. The Mugen beast still has over 1/2 the battery life left at that point.
I recently went on a two day business trip & was still on the original charge of the thing when I flew home. I took a spare bateery with me, but never used it.

Yea, it's not really much different at all.
I have three VZ extended batteries & when the phone is in my pocket (wearing either jeans or cargo shorts) I really can't tell which is which.
This thing is amazing, it lasts as long as my Son's Razr MAXX.
Speaker holes are small and it muffles the sound. Probably could cut a couple more slits in it. . But I wouldnt pay a hundred bux for a friggin battery
I agree the price is ridiculous (as I stated in my original post) but the back has not affected the sound on mine at all. It's not like the original speaker is all that powerful anyway.
I was pissed originally at the price for sure, but it's turning out to be one of the best investments I have made for this phone.
I literally never have to even glance at my battery gauge anymore, I couldn't kill this battery if I tried (streaming video/audio, screen on time etc etc nothing seems to matter) I have completely stopped carrying a spare batt, something I have done religiously since last October.
It's not for everybody, that's for sure but if you never want to worry about your battery life again this is just the thing.
They're charging an extra $50 for the kick stand. Watching that video reminded of how awfully slow this phone was @ stock.
I love my mugen compared to the oem extended. I have never had a dead phone on the mugen, but i did on the oem extended.
Yesm itvis way to pricey, but the 30% works for me.
So today i noticed that my backplate lifted off.
It was in the lower right edge of the backplate, i then pried the whole plate of, because im a stupid and curious person. turned out that my battery pack was slightly bigger on the side, hence the plate of pushing.
Well my first thought was, dude its a sony not a frigging samsung!
Nevertheless i dont want a fancy battery blow of or anything, i pried out the old battery and ordered a new one, should come in wednesday. Battery is a genuine sony battery for 7€ i know our XZU is dated, but hell if i can run her a bit longer for a measly 7 bucks i damn well do that!
anyone else had problems with the battery?

Sony makes good batteries or made..they're shutting down their factories soon due to its declining revenue.
I haven't had any issues with mine. Yet. Its lifetime is a bit reduced but its well expected. Its over three years old..
My guess for this device would be due to physical stress such as the device bending. Its very easy to bend the z ultra.
Or using chargers of bad quality.
The guy in the thread I linked at the top had hes battery blow up like a football.
Thanks for the link!
Quite what i expected with the battery, if it expands it is time to replace it.

I don't have the phone yet, but all the reviews have said it does make a difference in long term performance. I think it's supposed to keep things about 5°C cooler and reduces/eliminates thermal throttling. Doesn't sound gimmicky to me.
In the reviews that I have seen, that showed the backside of the cooling fan, it doesn't look like there is actually any ports that directly interface with the unit itself. But rather, from what I have read, it keeps your hands cooler and not as sweaty. So, maybe that is where the 5 degree difference comes in. If your hands are cooler and not transferring heat to the unit, then that would make sense why it would help keep it cooler by 5 degrees.

Yeah, it's the surface temp that goes down 5°C, not internal. I haven't seen any tests on internal temps, but several reviews have shown a definite increase in the amount of time before thermal throttling kicked in, and not at all in some cases.

I read somewhere the tested temp drop with the cooling fan was something like 5C to 10C on the back of the phone and 2C to 4C internal temp drop.
Allright thanks a lot guys. Maybe I'll be getting the Acc after all.
This Active cooling fan doesn't drain much battery, it's like you don't have it at all.
It's surprisingly lightweight, it doesn't make the phone heavier at all.
It comes with adhesive hard-rubber cushions you can put under it, to make the phone stand alone, just like having a pair of shoes on its feet.
The writing "Republic of gamers" on is is also RGB-backlighted, and it's really bright!
The cooling stand extends itself for half centimeter, so you can attach it easily on the phone.
And it does the job! Also, keeping your fingers refreshed, neither too much nor too little, so they won't sweat.
Above all, keeps the phone cooled enough. A must have accessory, for Asus ROG Phone 2!
I love the aero cooler, it works and cools your fingers at the same time.
