I've read a number of reviews that said the battery in the HTC Desire 816 can't be replaced. If it *can* be replaced, I'll buy one. ???

Dear, if the battery can be installed into your phone well, so you can use the battery with no problem. Please contact us freely if you have any questions. Thanks a lot.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

Yes, but you may discover that the battery is a few years old and doesn't hold a charge for as long as you'd like. This is the case with the phone that I bought for my wife. The problem is that the phone is out of production and those that are available are the remainders. If you buy this phone and decide that you want to replace the battery, you will need to do some research. Some of the replacement batteries that are available are also old, though unused. You could wind up with a battery that is even older than the one in your phone.

I purchased new batteries (2 as they were so inexpensive & I plan to keep my phone for a while) after owning my phone for about 16-18 months. The original battery was lasting only half a day. I use my phone primarily for checking e-mails & some calls, very little online time. The new battery lasts all day or close to it with my usage. I would guess - as another reviewer posted - that you might get 4 hours of internet use. Buy a couple & switch them out. BTW... batteries losing the ability to stay charged is normal for any rechargeable battery, not just the HTC or other smart phones. Another option is buying the double size battery. Just a thought.

I confirmed with a Samsung rep that yes, a tech shop or Samsung can change the battery. This could be important for those that do not trade out their old tablets for the latest & greatest every year. Since the high res screen and powerful processor both draw lots of power the battery may be shorter lived than those on many devices. Heavy users especially may notice this problem. A battery change could double the life of the device.

I don't think it can be replaced. The battery is recharged when it is connected to a USB cable and recharger. I use the cable which came with my cell phone.

Absolutely YES, I use my new Bargains Depot pen for my HTC Desire 816 device " also with a screen protector " without any issues. It appears to me that we both own a quality cellular device using a similar protective accessory for both of our devices , along with the fact that both of devices uses a compatible-device cover suggested by your Owner's manual. Good- luck.

Hi. I dont know. The batery was non chargable. Salesman at local Verizon store told me that the battery had probably been shelved so long that it could not take a charge. I returned mine to ebay, got a full ref7nd and ended up with a new phone. I wasnt plann8ng on that expense. I hope it works for you. Let me know. Id be interested to hear. Have a good day. Chris

I hope that helps. I had the same problem. That is why I ordered the new battery. Battery was fine. It was my 8 month old phone which was still under warranty. Now I am scared so I took out insurance. I know have a spare battery if I ever need it.

This has not been an issue for my HTC phone with the battery installed. I don't know if it will make a difference but try removing the battery and then put in back is and see if it makes a difference.

I looked up the battery for my own phone and that's what I went by when ordering this replacement one. I didn't bother to see what other phones used the same battery. Sorry I can't help more. My suggestion would be for you to concentrate on your particular phone's battery by comparing what you have already and find it's proper replacement. Hope that helps.

Yes, it is the right battery. I was worried about that too, but it fits perfectly. And yes you can charge it in the phone with the HTC charger.

When I ordered the battery it was a battery issue with my phone. However that did not make my phone work. It turned out I needed a replacement phone. I still have the unused battery.

Oh, I don't think the battery can be replaced...I don't see a way to open it. I had my previous chargable toothbrush for years and then I only replaced it because I wanted the latest model...not because it wore out! Although I did get to where it needed charging every 2 weeks...
