Was almost afraid I'd break it any other way. Trying to pry it off like that.

I had the same problem, LOL. If that's the only issue, then that's just fine with me!

Has anyone tested bluetooth signal with this Hyperion battery yet? Mine qCell battery makes the bluetooth of my Nitro useless so I wonder if this one would be different.

That's actually not unusual (for any Li-Ion battery) and doesn't mean you are actually losing that much charge. If you're interested you can read about how it works here: http://phandroid.com/2010/12/25/your...h-a-bad-thing/

Short summary: Leaving a Li-Ion battery at 100% for an extended period of time will hurt the battery's lifespan, so when you leave a phone on a charger, it will actually level out at around 90-93% charge (but the phone will report this as 100%). It's confusing but basically you should assume your phone is at about 90% when you pull it off the charger.

Has anyone gotten the Q Cell battery? It seems similar to the hyperion one but is only a couple bucks more on amazon.

i believe its 50 mah more ...compared to the hyperion....i dont think those extra 50 points would help a lot to spend like about 5 bucks more

does anyone know whats the tape like thing on the inside original back cover of the nitro....it says dont scratch or remove something like that...the extended battery doesnt seem to have that
