Hi there guys, I'm currently using 1+1 and thinking to switch 1+3. I'm using my phone as a personal and business phone. I do lots of texts and IMs handling customers and orders, few calls, lots of web browsing but seldom video playback and no gaming at all.
To be honest, I have no trouble with my current phone. I'm still very happy with how my 1+1 peforms (performance, battery life, camera, etc). I'm thinking about upgrading just because I want it, not because I need it. How good is the battery life compared to 1+1? It concerns me that 1+3 uses smaller capacity battery; 3000 mAh, compared to 3100 mAh on 1+1. As this is a business phone, good battery life is the most important thing that I have in concern. I am too spoiled by how long the battery in my 1+1 lasts.
I am not asking about how well the performance is because 1+3 will perform better than 1+1 with no doubt. I'm not looking for OnePlus 3T because it is not available in my country (and never will), and if it is, the price is going to be out of my budget. FYI 1+3 is about US$480 sold in my country compared to $399 in North America.
If you have owned both devices, I'm looking forward for your comments and insight. Thank you!
Owned both. Got a full day out of both so I can't really add much more than that.
OPO I was always on CM and I'm on OOS for the 3 and I can't really complain after the last few updates. The 3.2.1 (original) update was really bad for me for heat/battery but it stabilized shortly after
I actually don't care about battery since i got this phone...
If i reach the bad spot i charge it
And this charging is pretty fast
Well with the upcoming EAS kernal it looks pretty promising.
When I upgraded from opp to op3 I also worried about battery life. Op3 has slightly smaller battery but the more efficient AMOLED screen make up for that. Dash charge is a nice bonus. I routinely charge my phones every night, but if I forget to connect the charger I can easy go to days without charging.

So would you say it is better, on par, or worse than 1+1?
I feel op3 battery life is just as great as opo battery was on CyanogenMod 11s, before lollipop ruined battery life on opo.
With my OnePlus3 my battery is during 1 day with 40% à the end of the day.
I noticed my battery wasn't lasting as long as when I got my device new, especially after the Nougat update (around 2 hours SoT; on LOS 14.1). I downloaded AccuBattery and found my battery health is around 2,300 mAh. Now I want to replace the battery but I saw a tear down of the device and it's out of my league to work on. How much do you think a shop would charge to replace the battery? I am also thinking of buying a replacement screen along with the battery so if the shop damages the screen they'll have another to replace it with. Thoughts?

Best thing to do is to take it to certified HTC service. That way you're safe if they break something while replacing the battery. I got my battery replaced under warranty, and my service did amazing job! If my phone didn't have a small dent in upper left corner, I would think they gave me another phone. That's how good they are
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 ^^

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.

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.

got the same issues and replaced battery from official htc service.
well sot was around 3h when i first bought it.now its 4h and battery still 48%.
frined buy it from the same shop 1 week after me and he still got 4h+ sot.so i guess some devices sold with deflected battery?
Coming up on two years with my lava red and gave it to my gf almost a year ago.
We are long distance so I want to replace the battery next time I see her. While I am doing it maybe replace the charging port. I saw a few videos and it looks pretty easy.
I was hoping by changing the battery I could squeeze out another two years out of it.
How has everyone's experience been with battery replacement?
Would love to hear of any experience on this also. My OP5T only gripe is that its battery is slowly having less charge. Past experience shows replacing the battery is not always for the best, as replacements are not as good as originals.
Wondering same thing. I've seen some battery's but if they aren't original then dash charging won't work
I would probably go with this one: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/OnePlus-5-5T-Replacement-Battery/IF330-018?o=2 as it even has the required tools to replace it and good reviews. Will try it in a few months and will comment.
I changed it on my old OnePlus 3, and by watching the how-to video on ifixit the procedure is very similar. I did it in less than 1 hour and the new battery worked well. Accubattery showed (on OP3) capacity of 2800mAh on the new battery and the original one was on 2100mAh, so I've notided the improvement. Hopefully for OP5T it also gets better
Updates?

Updates??
Hi,
I am unable to identify what's causing the massive battery drain in my phone.
Can someone please help me identify it. I am attaching the screenshots of the Gsam battery app and AccuBattery app for reference.
Please help me with this!
You have a lot of junkware running.
A good SOT is 7-13%@hr battery usage.
These are more telling:
AOD always on about 1%@hr
Tap on AOD >.5%@hr
If more than that something(s) are running constantly in the background.
If nothing has changed with your configuration it could be your battery needs replaced. SOT will dropped as battery capacity diminishes.
On a heavily used N10+ the battery will last 1.5-2 years. Once it's capacity is less than 80% of it's original capacity, it's reach the end of its usable service life. Replace it before it fails.
A battery failure can cause heavy damage to the phone. Any rear cover bulging is a failure
The battery isn't that hard or expensive to replace.

Thank you so much for the reply.
My battery health as reflected by AccuBattery is 81% (3450mAh). Would you recommend that I change it? or shall I go for a factory reset?
Factory reset if you:
•have malware, rootkits, etc that you can't find and purge within a few hours max.
•have done a major firmware upgrade.
•have had hidden user altered.
•you give up
If the OS load is buggy maybe but it's always better to find the root cause and fix it rather than reset as otherwise it's likely to reoccur.
I don't update as it can cause major issues; my current firmware is over 2 yo and my current OS load will be 2 yo this June. It's still running fast and stable.
I encourage you to troubleshoot rather than blindly reload.
As for the battery you need to be the judge of that. Accubattery is a nice tool but its battery appraisals are not always accurate. If the device was heavily used probably 2 years is the max battery life you'll get.
Make sure you replace the OEM rear cover seal too when you have the battery replaced.
Accubattery Pro is showing the attached. Looks about right for a new fresh battery from my experience.

Yeah I like to see it higher but that's par for the course. My original fresh N10+ was 4100.
Make a note of that value and current SOT once optimized. When it gets to 80% of those values the battery is degraded and needs to be replaced. Don't fret about but just replace it at that point before it fails. Just part of regular maintenance...

Yeah I will. Bear in mind the battery hasn't "calibrated " yet. If anything like this exists anymore. Meaning, I haven't gone below 60% or charged above 85% since Friday receiving it.

Don't sweat that.
How's it running?
Got a case? Get a screen protector if the factory one isn't on it. Drops are about the only way to kill it... and don't confuse the mic hole for the ejector hole I speak from experience...
It came with an applied screen protector already similar to the s10 plus which I'd bought when it came out a few years back. I bought two heavily discounted cases. One tech 21 Evo check $5 and one of my old favorites Incipio dual pro. Another $5. Amazon. Both new. Tech21 still the usual garbage. Painful cut outs.

Keep the factory one on until it needs to be replaced. The wet apply Gorilla IQ Sheild is inexpensive and works well.
Zizo Bolt... this phone wuvs to corner hit and face plant when dropped. Mind the spen if dropped as it likes to pop out, don't step on it!
The tech 21 USB and S pen cut outs offer little to no protection especially the usb port. Not worth more than what I paid for it for sure. $5.

Get the Bolt, it's as low as only $18. This phone corner strikes the spen corner the most it seems. All corners need good protection and raised guards around the display.
The Bolt has preserved my N10+ extremely well. I've gone through a few of them as I will replace them if they show signs of a hard corner hit (shiny appearance indicates possible material fatigue) to be on the safe side. Other than the kick stand (it never broke in a drop), none of the drops ever dislodged the phone or displaced or broke its retaining shell including multiple impacts or damaged the outer shell. Almost all were on concrete*.
*It's mil spec drop test is from 20 feet onto concrete covered by half inch plywood... so don't go too nuts. Over 4 feet onto concrete is pushing it. That's also a lot of G loading.
