HTC thunderbolt battery doesn't play nice with rezound? Error

[anon(79257)]

The voltage might certainly be a cause of the error, on the phone.

This may just be a case of it being one way compatible. I would imagine that the phone's CMOS is designed to look for a certain voltage, upon boot. If it doesn't see it, it throws a code. May also be that the Tbolt's CMOS wasn't coded, so tightly... The Rezound is a newer hardware. It makes sense that an older battery would have problems, in newer hardware. Whereas, newer battery will not in older hardware. IE backwards compatible vs. forward compatible.

Best advice I can give anyone is to use the battery that is meant for the phone and not try to substitute.
If you use it and it ruins the phone, there is no recourse for you because you have voided the warranty on the phone.

It is attitudes like this, among the consumer, that enable Apple to be one of the most powerful corporations in the world...

Perhaps not original accessories but I think the sentiment fits for unlicensed accessories (ie Chinese fake batteries and the like).

I guess I mispoke. I wasn't really referring to accessories. It was more of the "don't root, don't try to make it better" attitude. Just use what they give you, and be a happy sheep.

In that, Jude, I apologize for my snarky comment.
