I've been using the OnePlus One for three years now. And it still works just fine. But my display is kinda damaged, has screen burn issues that developed recently.
Also the battery life dropped from being at 7 hours or so to 3-3.5 hours. So that's a minus.
Gonna change both the battery and display. Would like some recommendations. '-'

Display is about 30€ in chinese shops. The biggest problem I think it's the battery replacement. I've bought one but the mah is not like the original cause, by what I've read, Oneplus doesn't produce it anymore and you can find old batteries in the shops. I've bought other three batteries of different brands, I'm waiting for them. However there is a tweak to modify a ZTE Blade x3 battery for the Oneplus One.

Can you link me to a good quality display that you might know of? I live in Bangladesh, so Asia/Chinese shops are okay for me!
And as for battery, I've found a local store which sells the battery. They say it's "Good quality" but not original. Not sure about the mAh. Will look into that later.
I'd like a recommendation for a screen replacement as well. There are a lot of displays on AliExpress for less than 20$ , do you think can't of these are good?

What tweak do you mean? Bought 3 different batteries and all were worse than original...
for battery problem I think the best way to go to service centre because all of the batterys available online isnt genuine so perfomance from that is more lesser than your 3yrs old battery!i just recently visited service centre with my oneplus one and replacing the battery,i dont know what will be the outcome,i will keep posted once got device with new battery handson!
I tested 3 different Oneplus one display replacements from Aliexpress, all of the prices are more or less same (around 25-30USD) but the quality is so different.
Grade C: Awful display (so pale and dark) and awful very thin touch panel and fragile flex cable)
Grade B: Good quality display but awful very thin touch panel, fragile flex cable (same as C)
Grade A: Good quality display and very thick strong touch panel and durable flex cable. Frankly unless you compare this with the original one side by side, probably you cannot tell difference a lot. ( I have two OPOs! )
I cannot add a link yet as a new XDA user, but I bought this “Grade A” Oneplus One screen replacement from "raugee Official Store" at Aliexpress.
"Oneplus One LCD Display+Touch Screen With Frame Test Good Digitizer Glass Panel Accessory Replacement For One plus One 64/16GB" Without Frame $27.99. With Frame $37.99 4.9 rating, nearly 250 orders. I bought this display without Frame.
I have got a replace "OEM" battery from ReplaceBase (UK) recently So far, it is a great quality but as an UK based shop, it would be suitable for European users.
Hope it helps. Good Luck.
I recommend buying the display as a standalone (without frame) and attaching the frame yourself.
Displays with frame pre-attached tend to be lower quality than if you just buy the display.
Hi..
I think there is no original display or battery. This phone almost few years ago and the new one is 6th gen of oneplus (one plus 6 i mean).
But i have an experienced about this case. Both,battery and display. I had replacement both. Buy from local online shop,and yup..the battery size smaller than original. Customer feedback always says 15% battery auto shutdown. And when it charge,shows 15% and up.
But i have a solution,and it works fine until now. I dont guarantee it works on other device but it works on my oneplus one.
After replacement battery,use it until force shut down. Try to power up until it shut down. Charge untill 100% with power off,and disconnect the charger. Turn on your phone and battery will says 99%. Charge it until 100% and shut down the phone. Disconnect charger and charge again until 100%. Do it over and over again until it says 100% when you turn on the phone without charger connected.
I try it 5 times and the 6th tried,i turn on the phone and battery shows 100%. It works fine 5-6 hours with daily usage.
Battery wont automatically shut down when 15%,but in 10%. I tried that method again (fyuuh..) and and the result battery shows 5% and shut down automatically.
I always tried use this method when my phone automatically shutdown. I never turn off my phone when it says under 10%.
And today my phone works fine,until the battery shows 1% and it still alive... (Woooow...).
I dont have any theory about my method,but i think i must calibrate the battery sensor because OEM battery dont have good sensor same as original. It looks stupid but it works on my phone,so?? Try it..
Oh... This battery sale almost $8 in my local online shop. Seller said this is original battery... Is it possible original part sale in $8?? In my country,oneplus doesnt have a legal store. All product use distributor to sale in my country.
Yeah,its a long story about the battery. And now i have a story about the LCD. Yup... I bought the lcd in local online shop only $20 ( again) and blablablabla (teardown method using youtube for the tutorial) and the big difference is backside of the lcd. The original one there is cooper sticker in right and left the lcd and the OEM doesnt have. OEM LCD connector loger than original one and the size is smaller.
Skip... And turn on the phone..... Yup....
Lcd color more "bluish" i mean the color more blue than original one. And the brightness is the biggest problem. Full brightness on OEM LCD as same as half brightness on original one (compared with my friends OPO)
Touch and blablabla works fine,but the brightness still annoying. When you slide the brightness to left,you cant see anything.... yeah....anything..... Too dark.
And now i order the new one from china store (aliexpress) and it takes 2 weeks until arrived in my country. $30 from china store and i hope it better than the local one.
I will give a report as soon as possible when it arrived. And give a storytale again in this thread...hahahahahaha.
Sorry for my english,

Thought I would write a quick review of the extended battery I just bought.
Background
I was rather unhappy with my original battery as were most people! It only lasted me a day and as my job requires me to be out and about a lot, plus to call people often, I thought something more robust would be better. My solution = The Cameron Sino 2600mAH Battery!
Initial Impressions
The battery is twice the size of stock. The battery cover did not close on my phone. Total size isnt too bad. It nearly doubles the phone thickness, but when I come onto the testing section later this is a worthwhile sacrifice.
Cover Fit
The cover didnt fit so I decided to buy a 32gb micro sd card (which works fine), and to super glue the cover on. I figured that using a scalpel I could remove the back (I tested and it works fine) if ever required. Hopefully I wont need to access it ever, or until I upgrade in 18 months and decide to sell it.
Performance
After charging to 100%, running down to 0% 3 times, I have now had the phone on for 5 days and it's current charge level is 10%. As you can see this is awesome. My settings:
Helix Launcher
Wifi On about an hour a day
Light phone calls (around 5 hours)
Light texting - 20 odd a day
3g Off
GPS off
I imagine in real life conditions 3 days moderate use would be obtainable.
Conclusion
Overall I am very very happy with this battery. It really brings this phone into the "worthwhile for daily use" category (it should have been here originally ofcourse). Hopefully will be able to use the standard UI rather than Helix when 2.1 comes out. Damn app power leaks.
Rating: 4/5 (Battery door a poor fit)
Edit: Forgot to mention at £16.99 delivered (amazon.co.uk), you can hardly go wrong!!!
Could you post a pic of your phone now please?
Unfortunately my only camera is my phone...... sorry. Maybe someone else can!?
Wow! I assume you like your phone carrier since it is difficult now to remove the sim card.
Well my carrier (Three) used to be terrible. However they appear to have upgraded their cell towers and I now have full signal most places that my friends dont! So yeah I like my carrier!
Why dont you buy the extra thick covers that are all over ebay so that you dont have to glue anything?
Edit: My bad they arent on ebay, but there is a thread in the accessories forum, I'm sure of it.
theres a couple of posts and reviews in a thread on here already and myself and several others paid just £12.99 free postage from ebay
Yeah I rarely buy off ebay - had a lot of problems with sellers before (might just be my luck ). I saw the other reviews, and just wanted to do my own hehe.
any chance to get a pic of your phone? how it looks with the glued cover?
If i ma not wrong, that battery comes with a cover for X10 right? Are u saying that that cover that they provide does not fit properly?
Mine fits properly. You just have to force the sides of the cover into place and thats it. Battery life is much better than the oem one and has a very noticeable difference.
ordered one from http://www.megacapacity.com/26985.html . Lets see how it goes
Just updating this thread for potential cameron sino battery buyers. I got the package 4 days ago. I removed my stock battery, popped this battery in, used the back cover that was provided by them. The phone became almost twice the depth thanx to the battery.
Then the issues started. Even though the green light used to come on when connected to the mains, the phone never used to start. Initially i thought the charge is low, so left it overnight, but then the next morning i saw tht I still had the same issue. After fidgeting with it for sometime, i noticed that there is a 1(or 0.5) mm gap between the battery and contacts because of which the x10 did not start. I used a thin plastic sheet(amost like a sheet of paper) to hold the battery up against the contact and it worked fine. Right now the problem is that if i shake the phone a bit vigorously, it gets disconnected because of the shorter battery.
But i want to see how the battery lasts so am using it for now. It all boils down to the time i have to wait till next charge. If it really gives around 70% more time (as claimed by many in other forums) i will use it despite the bulkiness and the smaller battery issues. Thanx for reading!!!
so this comes with a case as well for £12.99?

Thanks for this info! I was having the same issue with this battery. I thought I was having a driver issue for extended batteries but after reading your post, I confirmed that it wasnt the case. Fixed the problem but with a different approach.
What I did was I soldered a small amount of lead onto the contacts on the battery (careful enough not to short the contacts) so that it would give better contact on pins of the x10.. I know the process seems a little bit drastic but it works! I can't make the phone shutdown even when I shook the hell out of this phone.

awsome!!!
5 DAYS!!!!!
awsome, I was planning to sell the phone because of the battery, unfourtionatly I live in sudan and there is no way to buy stuff online here!
My wife's Moto X (2013) needed a new battery. Called around and none of the local phone shops work on Motorola phones (weird). We would have had to mail it to a shop in Denver, the closest branch of uBreakiFix chain, who would do it. That would mea 3+ days without her phone, which would have been annoying but not terrible.
It turned out the local Batteries Plus could replace it! It took a day for them to acquire the battery, then dropped off the phone for 4 hours and it was done. It was $65, which is what uBreakiFix would charge.
Anyway, if you have an aging phone that's another place to check for replacing it.

Frankly saying, there is no much deal to replace any battery (not HTC 10, lol). You can do it even yourself.
Do Ebay for "new-other" EX34 battery, T3-T4 screwdriver, heat gun, plastic razor, and you are armed. Or call any local egg-head guy with right hands to not ruin the precious
I paid $35 after being quoted $50 over the phone, although I did bring the battery which I purchased on Amazon. The guy also put on the old-new-stock Moto wood back cover I bought on Aliexpress which involves moving over the lens and flash. Really happy with the results and certainly worth the money in labor vs me screaming at it for 2 hours and breaking something. I used Techbar which might be only in Miami but it only took them a couple hours to get it back to me.
I replaced the battery , using the battery from the htc one mini 2(2100mA) , the new was not good on my phone. box found battery 2500mA. now I want to put on 2900 mA, there is enough space. replacement cost me 10-15$

Box? You won't able to place there anything bigger that 2500. That's Moto G3 battery or something.
I tried 3000, no success. It's bulky

Does anyone know of any batteries that would fit in the Moto X (2013) that are larger-capacity than the stock 2200mah battery?
I looked at the battery for the Moto G (3rd Gen) and the dimensions I see state that it's a smaller battery, despite having a larger capacity. That seems unusual. And I don't know if the battery connectors in these phones are all the same? Is it a universal connector in phones?

No, it's different, though can fit some of them.
You have to unsolder battery can pins from narrow thin pcb of protection, and solder this board to new battery can. Of course, you should be as cautious as possible, not to short circuit anything! I doubt G3's will fit, but better try.

I see newpower99 sells replacement battery for the T800 for $69. Then there's an eBay merchant that sells one for $18
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/281587417724?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Anybody with experience with these? Maybe the cheap battery will blow up in my face or maybe newpower99 just grossly marks up?
I was going to give one a go myself when my battery eventually dies, the ebay seller has good feedback for the sales he has made.
But if the worsted happens, you have nobody to sue for damages like you get with a big seller like M99
I myself will take the chance but that is my choice, you have to make your own mind up.
John.
Nope, been there, done that. Bought cheap replacement batteries before. They didn't blow up or cause any damage, but they never took a charge either! These were 4, count them, 4 batteries for a Canon digital SLR camera. I bought one, no luck, they sent me 3 additional replacements none of which would charge. I did get my money refunded and I bought a REAL Canon battery and it DID charge. Nope, no way I'll do it again. OEM only for ME.

Probably have to agree with this. Cheap for a reason. If it doesn't blow up or damage the device I doubt it'll hold charge or last very long.
So.... Did anyone here end up replacing their batteries?
If so - did you roll the dice with ebay, or go the pricier route with Newpower99?
My battery is still relatively decent, but I expect will need eventual replacement.
What would be a good app to assess a battery, and which result would trigger replacement?
I did replace my 8.4 battery with a new one... bough it at my country for RM 75... approximately around USD 16 and it work fine.
Same here. Got a 15 euro battery on Ebay out of Ireland. Part number matched, it was a perfect original. Works like a charm.
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

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.
Has anyone found a reliable battery replacement? I haven't been able to find an authentic Samsung T8220e battery.. and the third party ones I've tried won't put out enough current (if I turn the brightness up, the tablet immediately shuts off). All the listings I've found so far on Amazon are 3rd party junk batteries.
I just bought a used p600 with a piece of junk Marval Power battery that only charged to 60%. I replaced it with a used OEM battery (at the time, there was only one shop on eBay selling used batteries) and it's working fine. I haven't used any apps to measure battery health yet, but it seems to be performing pretty equally to the three other p600s I've had over the last few years. It's probably up to luck, too (based on the condition of the tablet that the used battery was pulled from).
Hope this helps!
I just ordered a battery from mister-phone on eBay, instead of the pos replacement battery I have been using for a week, I hope the new one is original as advertised
please let us know how the mister phone battery works out. i have to get another battery after actually having some good luck for a while on an ebay purchase. but one side is swollen again and the battery is all over the place. thanks
So far it seems to be the real deal, it have the same markings and shape on the frame as the original, I'm still testing it, and it's way better than the cheap one.
I bought this one on amazon, and it appears to be working. My stress test is to play a game on full screen brightness and it instantly dies with the other lousy batteries. So far, so good... but it's oos. I would recommend buying a battery on amzon though for the easy returns if it doesn't work. Also, a kit with a decent spudger. I bought this one on Amazon that has a pretty good metal one with a decent selection of mini drivers.
I ended up buying one. Battery seems to work well except I can't get it to charge passed 80 or so no matter how long I leave it plugged in for. Other than that it works well. Restarts don't do anything. Anyone e have any ideas to reset the stats or something. I am at a loss. Thanks.
Stock or custom rom?
It's been a while since you posted this, but I just recently had to replace the battery in my SM-P600 when the original battery started puffing up. The only symptom was that home button was jiggly and loose, and I thought that the housing for that button was broken or something, and was looking into replacing the parts associated with that button when I pressed on the casing on either side of the button and everything clicked back into place and the button worked properly. I then noticed the screen was slightly bulging int he middle and realized it was the battery expanding.
Anyway, the assortment still available on Amazon has pretty bad reviews, so I gambled on a new listing that didn't have any reviews except the seller has been around for a while and is reviewed very well. Received the battery, replaced it, it took a while to charge up, but it holds a charge well and stress tests (full brightness with a taxing game) fine as well. I'm happy with it. Keeps my tablet alive for a little while longer (even though I don't use it much anymore since I got my 15" Chromebook that converts into a tablet).

Incidentally, I also bought the same toolkit you mentioned and it's a really good one. I've used it disassemble four different devices now and it's worked well. Good toolkit for the price.
