Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something
I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.
Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories
Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post
Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?
I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.
i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone
Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6
Hello everybody.
I want to buy an OEM battery for my device. I live in Israel, i went over eBay, and couldn't decide which battery is a genuine one or not. Can someone please give me a link to a genuine one that ships to Israel?
Thx!
i bought one on eBay and even asked the guy if it was original and he said it was.
when i got it weeks later it seemed legit, only thing i noticed was that it didnt have the same exact font size and didnt have the water damage sticker but i thought it was still good until i started using it.
i noticed it didnt have NFC and it would take forever to charge 100%. even leaving it overnight. also noticed the battery died really quick when reaching 32%. pretty much instant death when it hits passed 32%.
ok, so do you know where I can get a genuine one from eBay/amazaon/any other site that can deliver this to Israel?
up
help, please? hhh

Some of the sellers ship internationally.. Check those out.
I thought it was illegal to ship lithium ion batteries internationally? At least that what I got told when I was talking to batteries for less in the states.
Also I wouldn't expect to get an OEM battery for less then $40 USD

Just order the original extra battery kit. Comes with an original battery plus charging dock. At least you can be sure the battery is original.

there is only one 100% sure way to get an OEM battery:
get it directly from samsung.
where did you get the phone? from a store? go there.

I bought a supposedly genuine battery off of Ebay that turned out to be a total bust. It doesn't fit well either as I can feel it shifting inside the phone. :crying:
Does anyone have any suggestions on good OPO 2 replacement batteries?
I actually bought 2 different ones (one from ebay and one from a different site). Both of which turned out to be bad. They worked but they lasted less than the original one. I ended up going back to the original. If yours' is tottaly dead, I suggest you just stick with whatever you've got and don't waste more money.

Because if you already knew, oneplus doesn't sell any replacement parts through their store, they only do repairs (which are expensive afaik)
Damn, guess I'll have to go back to the old one. I might try Amazon and see if they're better than ebay.
Thinking after 2 years it's time for a battery replacement, I ordered as well recently from Ebay waiting it to be delivered but not keeping my hopes high. I let you guys know if it turns out OK.
Edit: It's terrible. Overheats and charges really slow etc. Went back to the stock. Ordered another one. Will update.
Edit 2: Back again to stock.
same here guys.. got the phone for 20 months now and in winter I got huge battery drops....I'm just calling/email and the battery won't last for more then 8 hrs... this is crazy...
same here, bought two on ebay, both worse than the original.
Asked support where to get a original replacement, but they wouldn't tell, but offered to do the replacement for around 40 Euros. It took almost 5 weeks though, so if you have a spare phone, I'd advise to do the same, instead of trying to find a decent replacement somewhere....
Hi everyone, reviving this thread as the older our beloved op2 gets the more and more of us will be in a need of a replacement battery.
Now, did anyone have any luck finding an oem battery replacement somewhere else than OP support?
All the "originals" on eBay seem to be garbage.

before you start getting stuff from ebay and other questionable sources, ask OP how much will it cost you for THEM to replace it.
in my case, they are asking for 33 euros which is actually not bad at all. as a matter of facts, i am actually sending mine out for repair tomorrow. sure, i will have to live without my OP for like 2 weeks, but there is a guarantee i will get an original battery.
rule of a thumb - "original" batteries from ebay are ****

I agree. Charged the same. Like you said, will give it to service Centre.
Hi all, so I've bought one on ebay for like 15$ with tools set and so far so good, on one charge got like 1,5 - 2 days - average usage (calls, emails, toilet gaming) , but charging time is longer i think... keywords for ebay "Original NEW Battery BLP597 For OnePlus Two 2 With Nice Tools 3200mAh 3.8V"
I'm using it for 3rd week now...
I recently had my battery replaced by OP.
RMA created in the weekend.
Package shipped out on Tuesday evening (through UPS).
Delivered at the repair center on Wednesday, repair quote received (and paid) in the evening.
Repaired on Thursday morning and dispatched later that day.
Received back in my possession (UPS delivered) on Friday.
Sure, it was wiped, bootloader locked and flashed with OOS 3.6.1. but that was expected.
I have absolutely no reason to complain and I hereby officially regret all my previous attempts to get a "new" battery from ebay or other questionable sources for which I wasted more money than OP asked for: 33 EUR.
New battery immediately increased the SOT by 1 hour and i no longer face the issue i faced before which was: whenever the battery dropped to 30% i knew i had no more than half an hour left until the phone died.
So, if you need a new battery, save yourself the time and money and do it the same way. I would certainly recommend this to all european customers, like me.

Hello, can you please install "accubatery" app from playstore and charge your phone from 1-100% without using it? It will show you a real estimate of your battery capacity. Post screenshots afterwards, I will buy that battery for sure if its close to an original new one. Thank you!
Hi, will install it, but not sure about the 0-100% as I need the phone for daily use..maybe during weekend

Thank you, the 0-100% is not that important, the bigger fraction of charge the better, you can install it now and it will measure your battery over time, the more charge sessions of over 20% the more accurate results it gives.
Hi so I've done it yesterday. See screenshots attached.

That's actually very nice score, looks like a real oem battery or a very close one. New original. Batteries show around 90%-93% with that app. Buying one, thankyou.
Maybe this has been asked elsewhere... but facing the fact that mostly our only option here is 3rd party batteries... has anyone tried one of the two (or more?) Chinese 3800mAh batteries? One is called an HSABAT (maybe the company) and the other a Da Da Xiong.
Here's the HSABAT "New 3800mAh BLP597 Battery" (I am not recommending or dissing this! Just interested if someone's tried it!):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HSABAT-N...Oneplus-2-One-Plus-Two-Battery-p/202269516963
And here's the Da Da Xiong 3800mAh BLP597 Battery:
https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/da-da-xiong-3800mah-blp597-battery-for-oneplus/399378631.html
AGAIN... neither of these have been tested by me. I am wanting input from anyone who has tested them. I know we sometimes have opinions re China, many of those opinions bogus, but folks our phones were made there. So maybe these are good. And maybe they are a joke. I hope for input from someone who's tried 'em.
ive bought 2 batteries from aliexperess that look identical to the oem one. they will all of a sudden just shut the phone (no matter what im doing. whatsapp/camera/internet/mail) down like if youd pull the battery out from the back and they will bootloop on restart. even at 40-60% charge. I bought a losoncoer white battery. that did it the first time this morning.
this is crap like the rest

Thanks. I don't have enough posts here yet to be able to share links. BTW, I just got my LG V20 too. I decided to quit chasing the current wave of annual flagships after my Nexus 6P became cumbersome due to its sealed battery dropping to about 775 mAh capacity. I reset the phone and the performance of the phone just seems slower too now (not sure why, but its hard to deny). I am more than frustrated with phones having non-user-replaceable batteries. V20 is the last high-spec phone to have such a thing. I hope that something changes in these trends before my V20 dies.

I just got one of these off of your mention in the other thread as well. After my G4 died earlier this week, I went straight for the V20 since I had it scoped out from the day it was announced. The removable battery has saved me a lot of potentially anxious moments, and LG throwing the charger in as a promo for the G4 was a great idea.
It's hard to say that I won't ever buy a phone without a removable battery because no new flagship phones have them anymore, but I'm probably going to ride out the V20 longer than any other phone I've ever had barring any unforeseen software problems. As the last flagship that's easy to physically work on and has removable everything, the V20 is going to be the third permanent addition to my "museum" (drawer of emergency phones) when it eventually becomes obsolete as a daily driver phone. Even then, it will probably still be a worthy mini-tablet, remote control, and media player with the Quad DAC.
Has anybody personally found a good replacement internal battery that has full, or close to full charge capacity? Before anybody says it, I have replaced phone batteries before and have no issues with the risk and disassembly aspect of replacing the battery. I want to install a new one because my current battery dies so quickly anymore, but everywhere I look I only find ones with terrible user reviews. Can anybody point me in the direction of a better quality option?

No I ended up using the slightly-less-than-terrible verizon trade in offer on an s10. I got the plus because of the 4ah battery specifically although im already remember how much samsung's UI's blow compared to regular android... But if I had gotten one I would probably just get one directly from ifixit after reading some of the user feedback. Seems like they are mostly better received than amazon and ebay options.
I purchased a battery from the below eBay seller.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/113153374724
It's a genuine battery from what I can tell and came in a clear plastic case. It's dated 2019/01/16, so very recent. I'll be installing it tomorrow.

I just installed mine today. As you pointed out, no real way to know how good until it's had a few cycles under it's belt. Was the HTC logo marked out on your battery?

Logos are marked out to do with customs, in many of countries they do not allow the importation of counterfeit products under copyright law, marking out the company logo bypasses this. Obviously if the actual OEM is selling their own batteries then this does not need to be done.
Any updates on battery life? I am looking to buy from the same seller for my Pixel XL.

Sorry for the late reply.
It was defective, it lasted a week before it would no longer hold a charge. It looked genuine, but I didn't want to deal with a replacement, so I ended up getting a refund, and going with ifixit for a replacement battery instead. I'm guessing I just received a lemon, the seller was solid with the refund.
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Google-Pixel-XL-Replacement-Battery/IF356-005
Expensive at $25, but it's been solid ever since. Holds a charge very well. I purchased the kit, since I can see myself reusing the tools in the future.
It matches the original bloated battery I took out the first time. It seems to be genuine OEM, the HTC logo on the battery is covered up by a black marker which you can remove with alcohol. You can even make it out a bit in their photos.

Thank you for the update!
I guess I will get this one probably, instead of buying the new Pixel 4 XL.. just to see how long it lasts... it still works damn good, and exactly why I chose Google phone over other cheaper contract phones!!
What do you think? any practical reason to get the 4 over a battery upgrade for this one?

Since Google decided to extend support for the OG Pixel/XL with Android 10, they left me little reason to upgrade to 4. They would have to come in at $700 (not going to happen) or less for me to upgrade, or else I'm staying put until next year's 5. There is also the "possible" Pixel 4a/XL to look forward to in 6 months.
I had to buy mine used to replace my OnePlus 5 that had a saltwater accident after 2 years of use. The used eBay pixel XL I bought seemed like it hadn't been used in well over a year based on the software update status. It was also on the beta program so it was probably an enthusiast who bought new and used it a few months and switched to something else throwing it in a drawer. Battery still seems as good as they were new, after months of me using it. Still not as good as the OnePlus 5 and doesn't charge fast but it's still a good phone. Camera is close to as good as anything out there. UI had more lag than the op5 but seems smoother in scrolling and general usage.
Hi,on my pixel XL my USB preferences stopped working and is stuck on charge. After trying different chargers and cables, my phone will only charge using a USB-A to USB-C. When I plug phone into PC, it will only charge, can't change it from charge. I was wondering if someone has had a similar problem. If so, did changing the battery fix this problem or has anyone changed the USB daughter board and that fixed the problem. If anyone knows of a fix for my problem. Thank you.

sounds like either firmware or port to me but someone else may be able to correct me. have you also tried on a different computer? could be the ports on there.

Yes, I have tried on a different computer, did work there either. What it feels like, my USB preferences are not on my pixel XL anymore. Like they got wiped off my phone. Thanks
