Extended battery??

What is the biggest battery I can get for the Sprint GNex that can stay in the stock battery cover???

I think only the original battery will stay with the stock cover. I have the official extended battery and the increase in thickness isn't really noticeable. I personally feel that it makes the device more uniform.

the biggest battery you can get with stock battery cover is 1750 mAH

I have the sprint version which comes with an 1850mah

You all are false, I have the Anker 2200mAh battery and it uses OEM battery door, as well as requires no modification what so ever. Here. You will lose NFC however.
Here is the samsung version for the GSM version which includes NFC capability!!! check it out here
I have a GSM Nexus for my daily (other one is for work) and I use this Mugen battery. Yeah it's pricey but I had eBay bucks collecting I practically go it for free. I really think it works better than the OEM Samsung battery. I can usually get easily 2 days running Franco's 217 JB kernel OC'd to 1512 or w/e it is.

I found this http://www.amazon.com/Ecell-FEIPUSI-2200MAH-CAPACITY-BATTERY/dp/B0086KT4SA
I don't know if it will work with my sprint GNex though???

I'd only use batteries that say its compatible with your phone's model number. i9250 is the GSM version.

I'd agree with xreflection. Make sure it clearly states it's for the exact model of your phone. Also, I've never heard of Ecell, nor have I ever seen a thread about an Ecell battery, therefore I'm sure it's not really a 2200mAh battery, just something rebadged as a 2200mAh battery.
I would stick to OEM, Anker, Mugen, Hyperion, Qcell and Galileo. I've had nothing but fantastic results from those companies in the past. Can anyone else add any reliable battery manufactures they've had positive results with?

I would be weary of the mAH claims of various unknown-brand batteries. The capacity of a lithium ion cells is in direct proportion to size. So if one battery is claiming to be the same dimensions as another but has an extra 200mAH then something is up. All of the batteries use the same technology so there is no magic here. Other than what little they can do on the circuit board. It mostly comes down to the fact that most people can't measure the actual capacity of the cell.
I trust the samsung extended battery and it actually improves the feel of the phone. I think that's about the best you can do.
Oherwise you're looking at really increasing the size of the phone and that's down to your personal taste. For my hands I actually prefer the bigger phone and enjoy charging it every three days with the 3800mAH whale battery.

I've also had great experience with those battery manufactures. Also, I just received a battery from Amazon called Onite (only 3500mah I could find that works with NFC and was for the GSM version). when I get the phone tomorrow, I will test her out and write again giving it a review.

I was always interested in the company Onite, especially for my Galaxy Note. I never pulled the trigger because I couldn't find anyone that had any information about their products. Please do report back on how the battery performs!

Yeah, I know. I only saw one review on Amazon and I couldn't really tell if it was real or not. But, hey for a price of $12.80 why not take a chance? Hey, if the battery explodes I will make sure to have T-Mobile phone insurance and hopefully a warranty with the phone! With my HTC Evo 4G, I bought all my batteries from eBay first but then after I discovered some overheating issues I started buying batteries from Gorillagadgets.com. Its a shame they don't have any accessories for the Gnex. With my Evo though I got as much as 3 days out of one charge with a 3500mah battery and the perfect rom and kernel combo. Hopefully I'll be able to have at least 1 1/2 with Jelly Bean. We will see tomorrow.

Hey, just a quick update! I received my phone as well as my Onite battery today (hoping it wasn't going to explode!) and I haven't even opened up the OEM battery yet! I popped in my sim and battery immediately and began setting it up. I'd say the battery was at about 55% (if I remember correctly, around there) when I received it at 5:30 and it just died about 15-20 minutes ago so it lasted around 5-5 1/2 hours (of heavy usage mind you, I was playing with it the entire time, I think I put it down once) and I hadn't even charged it yet! With my experience with extended batteries I know its good to cycle them first and let them die the whole way, then charge them up the entire way a few times to get 'em warmed up so thats what I'm doing now. I'll update again tomorrow when I use it for an entire day.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and was also looking at an extended battery. I'm not keen on anything exploding so I'm a bit wear and looking forward to hearing about your experience.
Do you have any images of what your phone looks like with the Onite battery + cover attached?

Hey. Yeah it will be hard to determine until next week what the battery really does in regular use, because I just got my wisdom teeth removed so I'm just running on WiFi all day. I've been running it non stop since around 10 and its at 77% now so we'll see. As for the picture tbh it can't do it justice. The phone is already thin and light enough and the battery (imho) makes it feel better in my hands and adds virtually no excess weight.

Oh and by the way, I charged it overnight and it hasn't even overheated NFC works on it as well! Its a good battery for $12

The Onite battery looks very promising. Does anyone know a shop, which ships the item to Germany?

Hm I don't know a place but depending on how long you can wait aber ich komme Ende September nach deutschland und kanns mitbringen ^_^
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Well guys. Its 7:35 and its been on battery for 8 hrs and I still have 12% left! This was only the 1st charge so it only gets better from here!

Oh yeah! And to comment on the back cover that comes with the Onite battery: its the same color as the gray on the back of the phone and it doesn't feel like the usual cheap covers that has the color that rubs off after normal use.

Stock Battery EB625152VA for $3.99

I just ordered a stock battery for $3.99 from ebay link. Looks real but maybe just a good looking fake, thought I would share with you guys anyway. What do you guys think?

It say's "Unbranded/Generic". Most of the time, if it's too good to be true.. then it is. The consensus with cheap generic batteries on ebay is that they work great for a few weeks, then the capacity quickly goes down. For the price, let us know how it works!

Shipping from Hong Kong/China, guaranteed to always be a fake. Stick to buying from sellers who ship from within the USA.

Yeah I noticed the unbranded generic but that's just the eBay description and some people don't fill that field out. They did say the item pictured is accurate or something like that so I figured why not. The battery that came with my phone was a finished in China battery so I know they make them there and I've been buying stuff from China or Hong Kong for over 10 years with mostly good luck. Either way for that price if it works I'm good with it.

well i contacted a bunch of em about those batteries
and few chose to say generic other said copies
but was impressed ( despite knowing ) that none claimed its original.
they are dirt cheap if can last for 3 or 4 months with reasonable backup then no harm .
otherwise try and search for andida slim 2300 battery
heard good things about it - provided you get a genuine andida and not a fake.
all the best.

Did you get them? Does it work well? What kind of battery life are you getting out of them? Better than stock?

Yes I ordered last week when I posted this thread but it has not arrived yet. The seller marked shipped the next day but stuff from China usually takes 2 weeks to arrive. I will take some comparison pics with my stock battery when it arrives then post some results after a few cycles of use.

It came in today, definitely a fake. They did a terrible job applying the sticker too. See attached pics knockoff battery on left, stock on right
Put in phone and working fine so far. Came charged to 66% like other batteries I bought in the past. Will update again after using a few times.

Initial run not bad from 66 down to 2% 2hr 43min screen time and 8+ hours uptime. This is exactly what I would expect from my stock battery. I'm charging now in my external charger and I will run a few days and see where it goes. Hopefully the initial cycle was not a fluke.

After a few runs this is a decent battery. The life span seems to be just less than my stock battery and it does not run hot or anything. I suspect its just a generic 1800mah battery. I wonder why they felt it necessary to use the fake labeling?

Is the battery still working good? I just ordered one on ebay.. My battery looks like it's about to burst. The back cover won't even go on right lol.

Yeah its been in rotation for a few weeks now and no issues yet. It still seems to get slightly less battery life than stock. No complaints for $4. You may want to replace that bulging battery sooner though. This one shipped fast but still took about 10 days to arrive.

I think it started swelling because of my friends horrible charger. I crashed at his house and was forced to charge my phone on his charger. It looked so cheap and felt really light but it was charging. I woke up the next day and my phone was dead. I powered it on and it was 15 percent battery and the screen blinked then died.
Ever since then I have had nothing but problems with the battery.. so that has to be the culprit .
It's been 8 days so far and it said it just arrived in CHICAGO, IL. I'll be on my n7 until it arives!

Battery replacement

Hi guys, has anybody of you tried changing their N5's battery? If you did, where did you get the replacement?
My N5 has been showing signs of severe battery degradation. It's easily discharged. I'm finding myself charging it two to three times a day. Even on standby, it discharges a lot even there's no wakelocks I'm seeing from betterbatterystats app. Its been a year since I bought our N5 so I guess it's time to replace its battery.
I'm seeing some batteries from eBay but would like to know from where you get yours and how's the quality compared to the original default one.
Thanks.

I would also like to know that, as mine discharges pretty quickly as well.

im pretty sure google is still doing RMAs for the nexus 5. Every nexus 5 owner gets one free RMA. if you cant find a replacement this might be the next best thing

I just swapped mine out 2 days ago. Went from 2hr SOT back to 3. The swap took maybe 15-20 minutes using these instructions.

Thanks for the recommendations/links guys. But since those have high postage, I bought instead from eBay which has free postage to my place. It also includes the repair kit.

Hi,
I am just wondering if your battery was really genuin . Also thinking about replacing.

I also want one, my battery was ok but I was using a 4amp usb plugable dock to charge it and I noticed it the battery has significantly lost its charge now, its best to use charger or usb pc port.
Im looking for a oem battery but made atlease in the last 5months,I've seen some around a year old,
Currently looking at polarcell batteries, haven't seen any bad reviews,possibly more capacity and german made

Well i went ahead and ordered it already. Waiting for it to arrive could be here any day now. I don't have any problem with my current battery now but I'm hoping the extra capacity would give me more freedom because sometimes I'm away from home and don't have access to a charger. Also it's German brand and I'm hoping it turns out good [emoji6]

Have u test it? Can u say if is good or not? Thx in advance

Just to update on my purchase, got it and installed since Feb. Been two months and I can say that it is as good as the original.
Only had slight problem prying open the back cover of my N5 during the process of replacement due to my clumsiness?. Got two small cracks now on the sides of my N5, near the volume area and power button area.

I'll definitely share my impressions when it arrives, I'm starting to get a bit concerned right now as it's been more than 3 weeks since I've ordered it and it still isn't here yet. Usually shipments inside Europe are completed within a week. Also I've noticed a very strange thing, the listed price for the polarcell battery for Nexus 5 is $140+ now, i purchased it for $25 bucks and it's crazy how the price jumped this much!!! All other plarcell batteries for other phones are around the same price as the one i purchased, only the nexus 5 one is listed $140+ [emoji15].

[Q] Reputable replacement battery - where to buy from?

I think my battery is kaput. It charges really quick - something like 3-5% per minute, but also discharges much faster than usual. And often the bar will show 60% and the next second it drops straight to 0% and the battery is dead.
I've re e factory resetting the phone and the problem is still there. I can barely can 2 hours of SOT now so I'm going to get a new battery and install it myself.
I know there are a couple of threads on battery replacement here already but I wanted to know if anyone knows a source where I can get good quality battery or even a nexus 5 OEM battery. I have trouble trusting these sellers on eBay unless someone can link me to one that is reputable. The average price I see on eBay is about $10 which is quite cheap. Some of them are obviously fake and cheap looking but some look like it could be the real thing. Any help on where to get a replacement from?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue with mine. I bought a replacement in amazon. Battery should be here soon will follow up if it solved the issue. My dad has a nexus 4 with the same issues as well. So he bought a replacement after I told him about my issue.

An Ebay seller I have used and got nothing but original parts from at a great price is usmobileparts (I use to fix and flip phones.). Very reliable seller very fast shipping and packaging is perfect. I used that person many times over ones that were a tiny bit less in price because they were awesome.

Maybe give this one a shot. It's on Amazon for $19.99. This one isn't shipped from China or some random seller, so there is less risk of fakes or dealing with return problems. It's not directly from Amazon, but it's fulfilled by Amazon. So if you have any problems, you basically have full Amazon coverage and can just return/replace it very easily.

Yeah that doesn't seem right but my guess it's a holder until he gets some back in stock. But glad you found one though.

i bought one from etrade supply last month and replaced it when i replaced my screen. battery had a manufacture date of 3/15 on it and has been working great. here is the link to it http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html

HTC 10 - Replacement Battery - Have you done it?

Does anyone have any direct experience (not hearsay) or a link to anyone who has actually done actual testing on any replacement batteries.
Ideally, something like what Richard Lloyd has done on youtube to test 18650 batteries.
*** As we can use the google machine, please refrain from links saying "this battery sucks" or "this is the best ever!". Reviews on amazon, ebay, aliexpress and others can be bought for pennies.
It would be great to see someone doing math and using electrical measurements, not what an app reports. ***
----------------------------------
So, two-ish years later and my unlocked HTC 10's battery is starting to go.
I'm using the latest build of Leedroid's rom and no, it is not the rom.
I have replaced batteries in the past and feel like I should give it a shot even though HTC made it a b*tch to change.
Why I'm asking: I changed the battery on a past phone and it worked pretty well for 6-ish months. Then, it exploded and cracked the lcd and g glass screen.
So, trying to avoid that.
-----------------------------------------------
Facts (as I understand them):
We cannot get a real / genuine HTC 10 battery.
HTC does not sell them.
Anything labeled as such is most likely a Chinese fraud or an actual HTC 10 battery that failed their internal inspection process.
-----------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any experience with the replacement batteries that are for sale on Aliexpress?
Part number: B2PS6100
Brands (stickers?):
Cameron Sino 3000mAh
HSABAT 4300mAh
Ciszean 3000mAh
LOSONCOER 4300mAh
XINBONG 4000mAh
Dxqioo 3000mah
etc....
What buyer did you get your best / working battery from? Details please!
Has anyone ever gotten a reading of more than 3000mah that lasts?
I've read on oneplus forums that many replacement batteries often only provide ~80% of the real battery when new and fully charged (mAh).
Many have concluded that batteries that fail their inspection process are not properly recycled and are being re-branded and sold under new names / stickers.
Comments welcome, hopefully my caveats at the beginning didn't scare off everyone.
Thanks in advance!

Mine is also 18 months old and looking for some alternatives . Hope somebody gonna help us.

I've done mine got it from repairbase.co.uk but haven't done any tests on it other than what an app called acubattery which estimates it's capacity as 2868. I've never fully charged it got it set to only go to 75% in the hope that it'll last longer than the original.
Ref the actual swap it wasn't that bad,
I heated the screen on a microwaved wheat bag
used some suction cup pliers to lift the screen
Cut the glue with a guitar pick
Made a simple diagram on a bit of cardboard to stick the screws in.
I took all the tape off completely stored on a bit of greaseproof paper and was really careful with the screen ribbon.

I replaced my own battery.
I replaced my own battery. I bought it off of ebay from a seller in the US. My phone used to have random boot loops now that no longer happens.
It was difficult. Heating the display and pulling off is a problem. I actually broke my display and severed my ribbon cable for the sim. I replaced those parts and battery change was successful. Now the only issue is the adhesive is not sticking that great. Nothing that affects anything. I just see how the screen slightly gives just a little bit. I do not recommend the double stick tape. Get the special glue!!! Something with a 7000 in the name.
I will be reheating a gluing it in the future. I dread working on this phone. Although I am not a professional I think I did a pretty good job. Other phones are much easier to repair.
I DID NOT notice a super improvement in battery life. My new battery was now back to "Ok" battery life instead of terrible no more bootloops at 20% or when camera is open. There is a problem with the HTC 10 with the cpu using to much, along with wakelocks and wifi. I really wish HTC would address these issues.
I installed LEEDROID have not switched kernal yet. I have getting over 4hours and 30 minutes of on screen time. If I change the kernel and throttle the cpu I may be able to get a little more. The goal is 5 hours.
I am NOT an EXPERT. I am a smart individual through trial and error that can figure many things out. I like to get the most out of my technology I'm not ready to get a new phone. My phone is primarily used for Audiobooks, Youtube, web browsing, texting.

i wanted to replace my battery... but after watching this video i've lost all my motivation ^^
as soon as my battery starts to crash at low percentage i'll take another look at it ^^
Anything labeled as such is most likely a Chinese fraud or an actual HTC 10 battery that failed their internal inspection process.

Oh.... and i always tought these batteries are from the same manufacturer as the original one but somehow stolen/bought directly at the manufacturing site and sold by private persons.
It is really hard to distinguish a real battery from a fake...
But to know if your battery is full/new or not the only way is an external discharge test.
I've tought about buying one of these https://www.ebay.ch/itm/ZB2L3-Batte...560532?hash=item25e6002a94:g:ag4AAOSwmnFZ4hxs
But it says 3A ... which is a bit much for this poor phone battery.

Having a functioning temperature sensor is critical to the stability and safety of the battery. If you've replaced your battery, use an app like Accubattery to verify the following: an existing thermistor will read a fluctuation in temps anywhere from 20-50C based on usage and ambient heat. Most (all?) of the batteries sold online have only a resistor which will send various inaccurate readings to the phone, typically 25C while charging, and a jump to 35-38C while unplugged (if the plugging/unplugging makes no sudden difference, try putting your phone in the freezer, or going between idle and heavy use to test).
If your replacement battery has an accurate temp sensor, please add to the discussion by telling us where you purchased it.

i bought HSABAT 4300mAh from aliexpress,i replaced the battery .will share with you guys here the results

Shame it's so much effort to change battery my wifes phone always turns off at around 21% now and she doesn't like any of the newer phones most are too big this htc 10 was the max she would go to.

My guess is that a lot of people are going to try in the coming 2-6 months as their battery starts to weaken.
Phone is great. Processor is fast enough and camera is great.
My hope is that we can gather real info and start to get good intel on these battery brands (?).
I don't think changing the battery is particularly easy, but it can be done. (See YouTube)
That being said, I don't want to have to do it more than once.
I hope more people chime in, because I guess many have already and many more will be doing it.

yo dawg, any news? i'm very eager to read it.
peace

Hey @alicine. I'm really curious about the battery and want to buy it. I have some questions and would really appreciate if you could answer them.
1) Has it exploded yet?
2) Is it the advertised 4300 mAh capasity?
3) How did you make it fit inside the shell? Is it the same dimensions as the 3000 mAh ones?
4) How long does it take to charge & does it still support fast charging?
5) How many hours of SoT are you getting now? (which ROM you're in that would help too)
Thanks in advance.

Tips from experience on M7
One thing about lithion batteries . . . they lose a bit of capacity just sitting on the shelf as matter of simple, natural deterioration. So to a certain extent, the newer the better.
When I replaced the battery on my HTC One M7 it was a similar challenge. My approach to buying a battery was to look closely at the photos and see what the date was on the battery for sale as it should be printed on it. (Some of the sellers don't even know that.) I tried to get the most plausibly recently made battery, within reason. By that I mean, I was concerned that for an older phone there might not be any batteries recently manufactured for it, so a very recently dated battery might be fraudulently remarked/re-dated. If I wasn't sure I queried the seller to find out if they knew what the battery's date was.
I'm not sure my theory is correct about which date battery to shoot for, but I'm still going with that line of thinking

Hi, what about the battery performance with daily use?

@numpaque
I'm not sure what the question is there - batteries lose charge as you use them, then need recharging.
What do you want to know again ?

1-No its not exploded yet, its working very well
2-I guess no , because im having same SoT as i get it when i first buy the phone
3-I removed the screen first,then one by one other compenents.Dimensions are the same
4-Its takin 50-60 mins to charge from %5 to full
6-Stock rom 4-4.5 hours depend on the use

I sent my HTC-10 in for battery replacement through the official service in Germany. This was approx. 6 weeks before my warranty ran out.
Battery performance was really bad with SOT of around 2 hrs, and random shut downs at 20-40% battery capacity.
After 2-3 weeks it came back, and according the delivery paper the battery has been replaced.
But regrettably no improvement could be notified.
So I sent it back again and got it back within approx. 1 week. This time they had replaced the side keys on the Phone, but even this time I could not find any improvement of the battery performance.
So I claimed it a third time, and sent it to the official service again. But now my 24 months warranty was gone….However they still accepted this as a Warranty claim and when I got my phone back after approx. 2-3 weeks it had a new battery, and a new screen.
Since then, the battery performance is good and my phone works more or less like a new one.
I get SOT between 4-5 hrs and no more shut downs and boot loops using stock Oreo.
