Ouch..that's a hefty sum for battery replacement. My battery avg screen on time now is around 3hours+.

Avg battery life is 15h. Was that a walk in our courier pick up? I thought of changing the battery sometime this year too, once this become really unbearable. For now I always bring a powerbank around and charge whenever possible.
Walk in, at first one of the worker told me at least have to wait 2 weeks, then I say ok la already expected since got experience on their previous service, then another female worker sit beside took my phone and ask me, you confirm is battery problem? if only battery problem, most likely can get on same day then she straight ask me come back at 3pm to take my phone. (*Your data wont be wiped too, i send my phone which is unlock, root and with viper one rom, when I take back its still the same

)
It is better to send back to HTC service center for battery replacement, as I ask outside beside expensive there is risk too. There is one shop quote me RM500

, saying that after disassemble the back cover sure out of shape so have to change whole casing, while HTC service center told me they will only change the back cover for us, other part of casing will be remain. So my back cover now is new lol, last time my beats logo faded, now its is totally new

and battery come with 3 months warranty. So far the battery satisfy me, heavy whatsapp and email can last 2 days, but its totally empty phone only whatsapp, facebook and email sync.
