I just bought one of these. Been using it since Monday. Not sure about it yet, still bedding it in. Today is my first usage after a full discharge cycle.
Yesterday I discharged the battery as fast as possible by running stability test and I still managed to get 5 hours screen time.
Will update at the end of this cycle.

Please keep me up to date with how your usage goes. would mean a lot. very curious about this battery.
Ok still not sure about this yet. I've now done 2 full discharge cycles by draining the battery as fast as possible. I ran stabilitytest again last night and ended up with 5.5 hours screen time with 14 hours off charger. Charged it overnight and bump charged it a few times.
Today I'm going to see how it fares with normal use. Not very impressed so far though as I'm at 83% battery with 49 minutes screen time and 5 hours off charger. Light usage today with a few hours of music through wired headphones. Maybe the battery % isn't calibrated properly and it'll drop slower as it approaches midline, who knows.
Will keep updating.
I know someone with it and he said it barely lasts 20% longer than standard battery, so guess that means around 2500mah
Conclusion after 6 days and 5 cycles is that I'm getting about 25% more than stock. Not great but I got it for a tenner inc delivery so can't complain.
Shame we can't get the hyperions in the UK. Would love to get my hands on one of those.
Actually starting to like this battery. Getting decent results now.

1.How many hours should i charge it for the first time when i take it out of the box?
I would say charge it until the light turns green
Light goes green. Done.
All this charging for hours and hours before you first use it malarky goes back to NiCad days and does not apply to Li-ion batteries.
I left it to charge overnight, but I don't think it matters with Li-Ion batteries
Li-Ion batteries doesn't need that initial 8 hours charge.
I remember reading article on engadget saying you can charge in whichever way you like thanks to nowadays battery technology.

I know about the memory effect of older battery technology and how it isn't present (well, it's so small as to not count) but I still charge my phone regularly and leave it plugged in for at least an hour or two after the charge light turns green. I'm not the heaviest of phone users, probably very light to medium, but I get a day easily. This is from last night when I got the 15% or less charge remaining message...

I shrank the image to avoid it looking overly large. I'd like to point out I'm using stock firmware, no overclocking or underclocking and while this was longer than most charges I'm usually getting between 22 - 30 hours between charges. You might be able to do the same and get nothing like this, I'm just passing on my experiences
Well can you show us the screen on time and also whether during that 1 day and 15 hours was it on heavy internet usage?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Not now I can't because that was posted before I went to bed and the times reset when I took the charger out. As I said I'm not a very heavy user at all, I'd put myself in a perfect tablet user market but I'm waiting for better options to come out. Judging from my usage I'd have to guess at around between one and two hours screen on time. A lot of my use is basically checking a few things online, Twitter for example, reading a few articles on Engadget and the odd YouTube video.
I'm not saying the battery life is great or that using it this little is normal, but I don't purposely avoid using it to stretch the battery out so this is typical for my use.
I got a letter from my provider saying you should charge the phone for 14 hours i only charged it until the light was green 3/4 cycles of usual charging should get the battery working at optimum level.
Like many here I've been having battery drain issues since the day I purchased the Galaxy Nexus. I also purchased the extended battery since day one. I've been reading through every single forum on how to reduce the battery drain and none seems to have worked for me. I've tried switching to wifi, 3g only, no email push, no google+, etc and my phone at 100% battery would lose almost 30% within 2 hours idling. Then I was looking at the settings and I came across the Developer Options/Background process limit and limited my background process from Standard to At most limit to 1 process and my battery has improved tremendously. Prior to making the change the Android OS was using 80+ % on idle (Wifi or 3g didn't make a difference), now it's uses around 20 or less. On idle I'm seeing around 4% or less an hour vs 15% battery drain.
Please remember this may or may not solve YOUR battery drain, but it has definitely helped mine and I just wanted to share with the community on what else you can try.
I've had pretty good results with my battery. I think some of ya'll are either just playing around with it too much or have some energy-sucking apps out there.

Or that you don't have a connection to the data network.
Just say'n. (I do the same thing at night)
I had Wi-fi enabled for 12 hours, and the battery only dropped to around 85%. I have been on 4G for 5 hours now, and the battery is now down to 13%. I'm going to use a Wi-fi/3G combination tomorrow. Oh and I also have my phone rooted/underclocked to 900Mhz.

I've been using it for 3 days and have had no issues. Anyways its as easy as checking the standard limit if you ever wanted to revert back.
Hello, I have the problem that no matter which charger / charge cable ,the phone takes at least 3 hours to charge 0% -> 100%, the battery once charged gives me life 3-4hs sot (screen on time). Thanks

Sounds like your battery is bad. If you have the phone/battery for about a year or less, it's possible the battery is defective. If you have another battery use that one, but if you have a new battery you will need to cycle charge the battery. This means you have to charge from 0 to 100, let it deplete completely and keep doing the same thing for about 3-6 charges. This effectively breaks in a battery giving you the best longevity.

sorry to revive this thread but did a new battery work for you? I'm experiencing similar problems since the MM update, without fast charging enabled it charges at about 600mah, with fast charging enabled its about 1000mah but tapers off to 400mah once it gets to 85%
I'm not sure if its my battery or if this is a new "feature" of MM, last time that i charged from 30% it took 4 hours to reach 100% if anyone got a suggestion let me know.
3-4 hours is great compared to mine. If I use the USB cable, it'll take about 12+ hours (0-100%). Problem started after I dropped the phone. Luckily wireless charging takes about 5 hours.
Used to be no more than 2 hours before, not sure what the problem is, the battery is only a year old
Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day
what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.
Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.
Topic: Expected charge cycle count before capacity drops to 80% of rated capacity of 4905mAh 18.88 Wh for the Sunwoda battery in the P6P

Please vote mentioning your charge cycle count along with actual capacity vs the rated capacity of 4905 mAh/18.88 Wh
That's an interesting topic. With my P4 XL, I won the actual capacity lottery and had a phone that started with 109% capacity.
My P6 Pro has (according to 3 weeks of Accubattery) about 102% actual capacity (~5110 mAh) after 21 sessions with ~1100% charged (~ 55000 mAh).
The design capacity by the way, as you can see in your screenshot, is 5003 - not 4905 as per your statement.
4905 is the MINIMUM amount that Google accepts/offers, 5003 is the "typical"
-> (typical = design)
I'd give it a 3.6
Not great, not terrible.
Wondering how everyone's battery capacity has been doing. Out of the box Accubattery stabilized around 99% for me but now after 4 months I've dropped to 95% (4755mah). This is much faster degredation than I typically see on my devices. 95% of the time the phone is between 20-80% charge, my chargers shut off at 80% unless I know I'm going to need the extra capacity. My unit runs hot quite often and Im thinking that it is wearing out the battery with all the heat. Curious what other users are seeing after some months of ownership.

Good to hear you are having more luck, 1-2% per year is what I am used to seeing on past devices under similar usage patterns.
