Hi,
Recently my battery stopped charging beyond the 89% mark and now people say that I need to get a new battery. I'm thinking if I should I may go for a long lasting one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Ori...ccessories&hash=item2a22467775#ht_2796wt_1397
But I've heard that as the NFC key is encrypted in the battery people have had issues where the NFC stopped working or such. What should I check for to guarantee that it wouldn't be the case with this one?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S.: Still for the time being if someone can help with the 89% charge issue, that'd be great.

Battery is just holding the NFC antenna.

The battery only contains an antenna for NFC. The actual NFC chip is in the phone itself.
Oh ok! Thanks for the correction guys.
Does this mean that I can safely go with any battery out there? Or the one that I linked?

The one you linked to appears to be a Samsung battery. It will support NFC. If you buy a battery without an NFC antenna, it will still power your phone but NFC won't work.
If you are on Sprint you can call telesales and they will send you the extended battery and door for free just pay for shipping. The extended batt is a 2100Mah instead of the 1850Mah original.

OP is using a GSM nexus, he's from Canada
Thanks guys for all your help. Just ordered the battery from the link above. Hope that it works fine and at least would be a good upgrade from the stock one.

I plan on buying the Samsung 2000mAh battery myself as soon as my current one becomes insufficient.
Well the current one that I have started dying on me twice a day without any drastic changes to my usage. So I think it was a faulty one anyway before this issue started.
Will see how the 2000mAh one fares for my heavy use.

I just tried the battery and it still won't charge beyond the 84% mark now. So I'm now completely confused on what to do with it? Does anyone has any clue? I'm using the Franco Kernel, does it have anything to do with that?
Thanks.

One way to find out- try a different kernel. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, try a different rom. If it still does the same thing, it's time for a new phone.

Thanks... I will try that and update... though all these issues with the Nexus are really making me think if I should get the next one or not?

Tried a different ROM and the stock kernel. Doesn't help. The charging still stops at 89% or whatever random number it wants to. I really don't want to send this back, I just hope there was a way to fix it.
But I think the way back is the only way. Will talk to my carrier then.
Thanks guys for all your help. :good:
Same problem here...
After upgrading to 4.2.1, battery stoped charging to 100%
Now charges to 64%, and if I remove it goes down to 4% then increase around 30%
Not sure if the problem is with the battery.
Tried eveything else aound: Kernels, Stock Brazilian ROM (all versions), Stock Google Images, MIUI, CM9, CM10 and CM10.1
Really sad about that.
Sorry for tha bad engrish...

I have the exact same problem after just 2 months of using this device. The problem first happened when i upgraded to the 4.2.1 takju JOPD firmware! The phone almost goes dead in 6hrs with minimal talk time, and a charge stops at 84%!
Unfortunately, I got this device while in the US from playstore, and now I am back in India. Not even sure of the warranty coz I have rooted this device.
Can anyone please advice?
I'm not sure if this could help, but have you tried draining your battery first (until it powers off) and then charging it to full without turning it on? I've read somewhere (don't remember where but I think it was here on xda) that the battery statistics become more inaccurate over time if you don't drain it to zero at times. I think it's called power cycling which is a good practice to have longer battery lifespan. I hope this helps

Actually, it shortens the battery lifespan exponentially. Full discharge of a lithium-ion battery is unhealthy. Likewise, complete power cycles shorten the battery's serviceable life.
If you suspect the battery's internal fuel gauge to be inaccurate, you could do this once in a blue moon, bearing in mind the unintended consequences.

Why would they give it to us free? I'm buying a G.Nexus this afternoon and a free extended battery would be awesome.
Hello everyone,
Is there a way to check a battery statistics for how many hours has it been used ?
I just purchased a new battery for my Nexus and I just want to know if it is indeed new.
Thank you.

I believe that just by going to "Settings" -> "Battery" will show you how many hours it's used after charging and That is all you will be able to get.
I don't think that you will be able to know if it have ever been used before. Dit it come on a sealed package?
No, not that. I want to know how much a battery has been used, independent of the boot or phone.
Batteries are dumb chemical thingies... they don't have the means to store such info. You'd need them to have something like HardDrive's S.M.A.R.T., which they don't... AFAIK.
Hello,
The battery life of my Z1 compact is very low. This only started the last month or so.
Are there things I can do to improve it?
I have been thinking of putting another rom on it, but not used to this anymore. A few years ago I did a lot (with my HTC Hero), but at the moment I don't have time to do this regularly (read: I was single on those days ). I can remember that there was an option in the recovery to whipe the battery stats, so maybe this can help me.
Then, is there a light yet stable rom out there?
Maybe you can give me also some guides on how to start with this: rooting, replacing recovery image and flashing a custom Rom.
Anyways thanks for your help.
Sorry if I made some mistakes, English is not my native language.
Bart.
This additional info can maybe useful:
Currently I am on Android 5.1.1 Build 14.6.A.0.368 ...
Most people have noticed that battery life on LP is generally a little worse than on KK, but usually stock rom battery life is pretty good, so if it's just getting worse suddenly, you might want to try an update, (.368 is not the newest fw), or maybe some changes you made are draIning the battery, or maybe the battery is old and needs to be replaced. Most custom roms are fine as far as battery drain goes, but most are not better than stock, so probably not a solution to the issue. Have you been using any battery - saving options, (stamina, Greenify, etc.)?
Are you using Pocket (readitlater)?
The new version of the app sucks alot of battery... =(

Basically, you need to replace the battery.

I have seen that there's a newer update (14.6.A.1.236). The problem with this is, when I try the update, the phone says there's no update for the phone. Is there a way to force the update?

I have been looking and found some local repair center, which can do it.
While it is still under waranty, I don't want to send it to Sony, as I expect to lose the phone for more than 3 weeks???
Anyways, big thanks for all your replies!

I found it pretty easy to replace the battery myself, but that will void the warranty so you might not want to do that if there is still significant time left to run on the warranty.

This is how i get most juice out of this xperia. 2 years old battery shouldn't have degraded more than 10%
I should have posted this. I have found some useful info about changing the battery (mainly youtube), and I already ordered a new battery and adhesive for the back cover.
Another question I posted earlier: is there a way to force update to version .1.236

If BL is locked, ota should work. You can always use Flashtool/ Xperifirm...
I am on the beta Android 10, Unlocked Galaxy Note 10 plus. When I go into device Care and look at the battery stats I don't see anywhere that it shows how long you have been off the charger. Previous versions did. It's not that big of deal but I always like to see battery % compared to how long I have been off charging. Maybe it's somewhere I'm not looking. Any one noticed the same thing? Thanks

I'm not on the beta but it seems they keep removing features. Remember when you used to see how mAh an app used? They removed that. Now you can't find time on battery?
So when you go to Settings» device care» battery» battery usage....what shows up? Screen shot?

I think OP is asking if we need to run the battery to 0% first charge or not, kinda like breaking the battery first time ( breaking like letting set kind of thing)
I dont think you need to although it maybe a good idea as the S20 seems to need to learn how you use your battery to help it improve its battery saving feature.
Not necessary
