Hi all,
I've been looking around for a new phone for about a month now, with one main goal: to get a better battery life than my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (maguro) provides. I would really love to find a phone that I would not have to charge every day, like in the good old days of my Nokia 3210! The screen could be a bit bigger, but thats a secundary goal....
I am finding it very, very hard to make a choice. Of course there are phones out there that can give me more power (and bigger), like the Lenovo K920, the Huawei Ascend Mate7 or the Sony Xperia Z3, but they also cost around 400 euro's. I understand these prices, because these phones also give you a bigger screen, with more pixels, a better camera, more RAM and ROM and a faster processor etc. But actually, at the moment, I don't really need all of that. I am content with the size of my gnex, I use it to browse, whatsapp and occasionally to stream something to my tv. I don't play big games or use a lot of social media. And thanks to FML, I can almost get a stock version of Lollipop on my gnex, which is nice.
Can't I just buy a bigger battery and be done with it for a while, make it last another 6 months? I still have the stock 1750 mAh battery in my gnex it came with, there must be something better available?
I have 3 questions:
1) what is the best battery replacement at the moment that fits inside the original gnex backdoor?
2) what are my options if I am willing to settle for a backdoor that is a bit bigger?
3) are there any smartphones out there that focus solely on battery life? I haven't found them, but there surely must be a market for a smartphone that has a great battery life, and a decent (average) camera, screenquality, processor etc?
To solve my gnex battery issues I simply bought 2 replaceable batteries and a battery charger. At the time this cost me about $12 off ebay. This works best for me as then I never have to actually charge my phone with a micro usb charger (arguably the micro usb port is the weakest and most likely part of a gnex to break) and can just charge the batteries separately; leaving my phone mobile and not stuck to a wall for hours at a time. When I go out I put a spare charged battery in my wallet to swap it out when my battery runs low. It's also great when travelling as places to charge a phone are more limited but having a separate charger means you can use a sneaky power port without leaving your phone.
I haven't looked into getting a larger or 'better' battery personally, however one of my friends bought one that required a fatter backing case (at the time the biggest battery for gnex) and he said that could last him the whole day but meant he couldn't use any of the gnexus cases.
Quick note about gnexus batteries: The NFC chip for a galaxy nexus is built into the battery (don't ask me why), if your buying a cheap battery it will most likely not have NFC unless it's an official samsung gnexus battery from samsung. Not sure how much this effects you, I personally don't use NFC let alone find it important enough to warrant an extra $30 per battery.

thank you for your extensive reaction, but alas: I've retired my great gnex. My micro USB port did cave in, and I could only charge putting the phone in an upright position. I could have used it fine, but I got the chance to get a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 cheap, and it is holding it's own so far: 3 days and 3 hours on one charge and still I have 13% left!
I was thinking about buying the Nexus 5 but I don't think I will be able to live with the battery life as it is. I saw the mod on reddit which allows you to replace the OEM N5 battery with the 3000 mAh battery from the G2 by use of a dremmel and some circuit board swapping (without losing wireless charging capabilities). I would obviously prefer to not risk this type of phone surgery.
I saw online a Chinese battery that is the same size as the original OEM battery, but listed as 3830 mAh. I was wondering if anyone had tried this battery in the N5? It can be found here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...D821-D820-battery-BLT9/339866_1760720916.html
Everyone has been saying not to use a battery that was not created by the original manufacturer because "they would have put in the best battery the phone could handle" but my argument is that 2 and a half years ago the technology may just not have been there. The N5 was a budget phone and they had to cut costs somehow. Has anyone done the 3000 battery mod or tried this battery out?
If so, what were your results? I NEED this phone to last me a day with moderate to heavy usage. (I generally do not go over 4 hours of SOT)
Thank you!
Read the review....
I saw a guy who complain about that it actually a 2400 mah battery
I think they just put the cover to it
Fake
Seller lied, battery is a sham, has fraudulent "3830mAh" label on top of the 2300mAh label
This is a review of the so-called 3830mAh battery:
"01 Feb 2015 03:52
DO NOT BUY THIS BATTERY. THIS IS A FRAUD. SELLER MADE ME WAIT MORE THAN 1,5 MONTHS AND AFTER I RECEIVED, I HAVE PEELED OFF THE OUTER COVER AND THE BATTERY IS 2400MAH INSTEAD OF 3830 AS PROMISED. OPENED A DISPUTE AND HAD FULL REFUND. SELLER CALLED ME A LIAR INSTEAD OF MAKING THINGS EASIER. CHECK PICTURES FOR PROOF"

So you expect some chinese company no one ever heard of to almost double the capacity of the oem battery?
The lg g2's battery is the only mod you can do, and even then you have to find the original battery and not another fake one.

I don't necessarily expect it to be 3830 mAh of battery the same way I don't expect a 5000 mAh external battery pack to fully charge the phone twice. However, if the battery is better than what is currently in there then that would be sufficient for me.
If the battery was shown as a scam as it was in that photo posted above, then obviously this conversation can end here; but look at how much smaller the battery he has is compared to the wrap of the Chinese one. Isn't this illegal? Or because it's a Chinese company they can blatantly false advertise anything they want?

Pretty much, happens all the time, all you can do is ask for a refund. Now start reading up on the g2 battery swap if you want more capacity.
THIS is why I am VERY skeptical about the rumors of the 2015 LG Nexus 5 (5.2", 1440p) and the 2700 mAh battery it will supposedly have.
The original 2013 Nexus 5 was 4.95", 1080p and came with a skimpy 2300 mAh battery. (My wife and I owned two of them and were always looking to plug in somewhere.)
A BIGGER BATTERY would have solved my one complaint about the otherwise excellent Nexus 5.
BUT, the 2013 LG G2 (on which the Nexus 5 was based) was 5.2", 1080p and came with a 3000 mAh battery. Why didn't they use THAT battery?
Now they want to give us a 5.2", 1440P display with a 2700 mAh battery? That's not even as good as the LG G2 from two years ago!
Come on, Google! Just put a bigger battery in it! If 3000 mAh was for the 5.2", 1080p LG G2, then you need BIGGER than that for a 5.2", 1440p display...
Here's what I'm talking about.
I skipped the too-big 6" Moto Nexus 6 for the 5.2", 1440p version of the phone called the Moto XT1225. Have two of them, running on AT&T on CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1). An AOSP ROM is also available.
5.2",1440p, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, Qi wireless charging, Turbo charging, 64GB storage, sound familiar? 99% same specs as the Moto Nexus 6, but in a BETTER size. Yet, my 5.2" Moto XT1225 has a 3900 mAh battery -- bigger than the actual Nexus 6 battery. It's GREAT!

It's truly a shame that Google thinks people prefer slimmer phones as opposed to bigger batteries. A poll showed that more than 70% of people would rather have a slightly fatter phone with a battery that can last over 24 hours than have a slim phone. The battery on the N5 is the only reason I can't convince myself to switch to T-Mobile and get it. The G2 battery mod might be my best bet.

Hello, everybody.
I'm one of the nexus fan in Korea.
It looks like refurbish or used thing.
But It's capacity is true.

- No soldering
- need strong and powerful finger.

i bought one really cheap i knew was fake but i didnt care
that´s the sticker the battery has https://gyazo.com/c412b36ae55f71c65185baf42ff2f182
but is a original battery of lg for the nexus as i said i knew that i did cause was cheaper that buy a original one scam the scammer xDDD
Just so y'all know, I've replaced my stock battery with the one from LG G2 (3000mah). Yeah, my install included using a Dremel to cut down excess aluminum from the frame etc, but the fit is like stock, everything including wireless charging works, 6+ hours of SOT. And yeah, I did it almost two years ago.
Best DIY ever, I only wish it came like that when it was new. I replaced the Nexus with a new phone in December, but just turned it on a few days ago, wiped clean, installed fresh nougat on it and goddamit, how I still adore that thing...
As the title suggest, its possible to put Note 8 battery in our beloved Note 7 the capacity is a bit smaller (200 mah less, but still 100 mah more than what gimped Note FE version sports) . Its inspired by similar thread by Mr.Ultimate, he did some testing and modification with s7 battery.
I did some research for compatible batteries:
donce1991 said:
got my hands on some batteries, so I can post some dimensions (width, cos its the most important one and capacity), so far those are the ones who are not compatible (I got original ones, fake and copies can and most of the time will be a a different size):
s6 46mm 2550 mah
s6 edge 44mm 2600 mah
s6 edge+ 44mm 3000 mah
s7 edge 42mm 3600 mah
s7 Active 40mm 4000 mah
s8 40mm 3000 mah
s8+ 46mm 3500 mah
note edge 40,6mm 3000 mah
note4 41.4mm 3200 mah
note5 42mm 3000 mah
so far only these are compatible:
s7 39mm 3000 mah
note8 39mm 3300 mah
but still there are about 1 mm of width needed (original battery is almost less than 38mm) so you have to either take the tape off the battery and fold its sides or better remove that frame part between battery and motherboard, so because of the size, I did the mechanical modification and put Note 8 battery in my Note 7.

Manufacturers codes for Samsung S7 battery is GH43-04574C, for Note 8 its GH82-15090A, its just a shame they used much wider batteries in S8, S9 and plus models, but they might use narrower battery in upcoming Note 9, so upgrading and getting bigger battery might not be out of question
As far as I could tell the Note 8 battery is the most promising for its size and device line (still Samsung Note series, just newer) so maybe better compatibility too and so I went with it
For everyone who would like to repeat this process, of course first you need to open your phone. You can look at ifixit.com note7 teardown or youtube for how to open it up and general guidance before you try anything, especially if its your first time opening a glued phone.
You need to remove at least the motherboard and the old battery for this modification (better yet, to remove all the components - easier to clean after), then you have to cut that frame part colored in red between battery and motherboard, cos original S7 or Note 8 battery is a tiny bit wider and removing that part gives fit just enough space to either one. You can use the dremel or any other similar tool to grind it off (I don't recommend cutting it, cos it might stress the frame too much and break the screen, but its just my preference). Then I used some black paint to mask exposed parts like here and here (for a closer look), optional, but I think its safer that way.
Now then new battery can fit comfy inside, had to bend the flex cable for reference, cos there enough space, also the new battery already comes with its own adhesive strips, if you get a diff battery, you can buy some 3M adhesive or similar double sided tape. What's left now is to remove the controller from the new battery and solder on the controller from the old battery.
Because batteries don't like heat the best bet would be to use spot welder, like they do in factories, but that's a bit on the expensive side (unless you do other electronics projects and happen to have one or made DIY one and even then the size of the tabs would be challenge too). So more realistic option would be to use soldering iron and some solder with flux, but because battery tabs are aluminum just any soldering flux won't work, because solder just wont stick properly and wont make permanent connection, which can add some resistance or even make a loose connection over time. So you must use specific soldering flux which eats into battery tabs and makes perfect connection. I tried few generic flux types I had on hand and basically ruined the endings of the tabs cos the solder just wouldn't stick to it, so I got some cheap zinc flux from local shop and it worked perfectly even using the same solder. After that you can use isopropyl alcohol to remove the remaining flux off the tabs, just don't short the battery.
Some pointers:
Try to get original battery, fake or low quality crap from ebay wont cut it, not only because of lower capacity (there are no chinesium batteries who can beat Samsung in battery capacity in same size, period) but because of quick charging too (you shouldn't risk fixing Samsung fire hazard with your own DIY hazard).
MUST use battery controller from original battery, using other controller can and will produce some problems, the controller itself doesn't measure capacity, only voltage, so diff capacity doesn't matter, but diff controller wont "talk" with the phone properly, only using Note 7 controller the phone can charge from 0 to 100% and give full incremental readings and battery charging application actually see the right capacity (about 3300 mahs in Note 8 battery case).
Solder the old Note 7 battery controller directly to new battery tabs, using wires, extensions, etc could add some resistance to connection and you won't get correct battery readings or end up with crappy or slower charging or worse.
I did tried using Note 8 battery without Note 7 controller, even had to make some DIY connectors. The Note 8 battery connector is the same as the one on Note 7 motherboard so even not taking into account different flex cable length and form, you cant just psychically plug Note 8 battery to Note 7 motherboard. So I took some connectors from dead Samsung S6 motherboards and frankensteined them to flex cable and with some wires I got this and this, thus I could use new the battery without any disassembly or soldering directly (to the battery) just by plugin it with DIY inter connector. It looked all good and tidy inside, that outlined area is there the old flex cable was routed (for reference then closing the phone), but it didn't worked properly, I got crappy indication when charging/discharging, the phone couldn't properly detect exact percentage when charging, like, it could sit on 5% for half an hour, when jumps straight to about 80%, or go gradually to about 30-35 and jump to about 70-80 and just sit there and if rebooted it would go to 99% and so on. Also the official wireless battery cover didn't worked properly too.
As for software side I did jumped for a few weeks through diff roms to find the best one for me (Marshmallow based ones works great, but for some you need diff kernel because of charging cap, while Nougat roms are newer, but can be less stable, lack iris support and official covers, that you can get really cheaply, doesn't work too). So I ended up using original Note 7 Marshmallow rom (the one with 30% charging cap) and hydra kernel version 1.3.5, had to extract this version from hydra rom , cos you can separately download only 1.3 version (from here), recovery twrp 3.1, rooted with SuperSU 2.82 and with Europe Multi-CSC selection from CSC Selection. Of course I still get that nagging notification every time I charge the phone, but its a small nuisance. Also removed some bloatware with No Bloat Free app to make it snappier.
So far it works great for me as everyday driver. I charge the the phone on average every two days, it takes less than two hours on average to charge (I try not to use fast charging much) and its holding about same or even better than my old rooted Note 4 (n910c) with new battery. SOT is great (like more than half a day on wifi playing youtube, ect), (SOT time, usage, by apps. After using the phone for a few months I get average charging/discharging and usage time like this). Of course the system or other apps won't detect the exact capacity because they take the capacity from the model information not from measurements, so because the model is n930f, the system reports original hard coded Note 7 capacity of 3500 mah, but because I used BuildProp Editor app to change the model to n935f other apps shows 3200 mah (like it should for Note FE model), while only battery measuring apps like AccuBattery report actual 3300 mah (estimated capacity is measured, designed capacity can be changed manually, by default it would show 3200 mah) capacity.

Perfect, you are amazing man
I liked your ridh illustration i already do modification with s7 battery and thing good
But i found that charging speed is low however im using original charger and cable so
what do you think the problem is ??
And do you think that note 8 battery is far better than s7 battery ??
Thanks in advance

glad to hear somebody founds it interesting and that there are more note7 fans
your slow charging speed could be from using low quality battery, most batteries you can find on ebay are fake ones (crappy charging circuit or lower quality and lower capacity or both), also depends on the rom and especially on the kernel you using, i found the hydra kernel being the best with charging speeds. As for note8 battery, its better mostly because its newer and bigger in capacity compared to s7 (3000 vs 3300 mah) and because of the almost identical price i could get them so because if you use real original s7 or note8 battery you have to modify the internal frame for either one to fit why not go with bigger one

Im using original s7 battery i assembly it from an original s7.
Regarding to charge speed i tried (Note FE ROM) and (Hydra rom), charge speed still the same
Do you think that problem related to quality of soldering paste !!
BTW you saved my ass when you mentioned note 8 battery
i was about buying new note FE battery with 92 $ ,, and now i can buy original note 8 battery with 24 $
Anyway i atill want a tip how to make note 8 battery thiner without do modification to Note 7 frame ??
•Do you have any idea ?
+•How much time your phone takes to full charge ?

soldering shouldn't make a big diff, basically if its works you probably soldered it correctly, otherwise you would have some fire on your hands as for note8 battery its thin enough, if you mean width, then you could try to wiggle it in, i didn't took a chance and made a modification, cos even if you manage to put it in inside it would be way more crammed than the original battery was, so a bit dangerous, as for charging, mine takes less than two hours (i try not to use fast charging much)
more updates and tidied up main post
I've got my brand new Note 7 blocked by Samsung for almost 6 months, and change battery for the S7 version and Hydra Rom.
So far everything, I mean everything is working perfect! Iris, fingerprint, cameras, great sound and was able to install any app that I need so far. S-pen works great and if I charge 100% during the night (mobile data and wifi off, phone on) here's my day for test proposal:
7.00 am disconnect from mains and start wifi until 12:00 (several apps running, facebook , whatsapp, viber, phone calls and sms among others)
12:00 until 15:00 out of office mobile data on, wifi off.
15:00 until 19:00 wifi
19:00 until 00:00 wifi at home, games, facebook and whatever...
00:00 mobile data off, wifi off, phone on, don't charge.
7:00 same routine.
At 11:30, 12:00 it's at 10% battery.
So with the S7 battery on my Note 7 and Hydra I can get at least 20 hours regular use and 14 hours in standby.
I'm very pleased with this solution, I'm not an Adroid Update Maniac so this solution appears to be perfect to me.

i used some random flex cable i had laying around and a few matching connectors salvaged from dead motherboards, but as i pointed out i did that before resoldering old battery controller on the new battery and using that connector proved to be no good cos it didn't charged well and showed inaccurate capacity, etc., so i wouldn't recommend going that way
I don't have the note 7 battery controller
Someone had been using it ever since it got released, and 2 weeks ago his battery got bigger and had to remove it. He threw it all away. He gave the note 7 without the battery, thinking I could play around with it. Soy only chance of making this phone work again is if I use a note 8 battery.

you could try searching on ebay or other sites then to find a fake or used battery, cos using diff battery with diff controller will yield various problems, like not charging properly, reporting inaccurate capacity (so it would shut down randomly) and so on
Some help over here
I have found a dude how sells authentic note 7 batteries for 50€, is it worth it? Long story short, I need a note 7 controller.

those are hard to come by, so its completely up to you
Thank you for your instruction.
What about the batteries thickness? Isn't Note8 or S7 batteries are more thick than Note7 case?
And I wonder if it's possible to use S9 or Note9 batteries now. Can someone tell?

Note8 or S7 OEM batteries are the same thickness as note7 (aftermarket chinesium ones can differ though), as for s9 or note9 batteries, those are considerably bigger in size, like shorter but much wider and so not usable in note7
Why are the Note FE batteries so hard to come by?

well, any legit supplier had to pull out any note 7 batteries from being sold and note fe simply wasn't released as widely as note 7 or any other galaxy series phone, so most suppliers don't even have any parts for it, including batteries
I'm using Note 10 for months now, and happy with this compact flagship. But I want to get more battery life from my phone, and not considering to root it.
Does S20 Ultra can have more battery life with 5000 mAh battery and reducing the display to 1080p 60hz? I would consider switching, or maybe waiting for Note 20 Ultra

My note 10 is fine, I just though that 3500 mAh is to small :crying:
I went from a regular Note 10 to S20+. I loved the Note 10 and had absolutely nothing against it, but I was just itching for a new phone. Aside from lacking a Spen, the S20+ is better in every way. Even with 96 Hz refresh, the S20+ lasts longer than the Note 10, and the Ultra will go even longer. But if you use the Spen a lot, you might want to wait for the Note 20.

I also thought the Note 10 battery was small. The S20+ larger battery was the primary reason I switched. That extra 1000 mAh makes a big difference :good:

Battery and bether photo...
I have Note 10+ 5G and S20 ULTRA 5G...
i have the note 10+ and bought the 512gb ultra , nearly the same but having 5g is cool and taking moon shots on 100x zoom is a plus. i have also kept my note 10 + along with my note 9 , do find it a shame samsung have dropped the heart rate sensor from the note 9 as samsung health is useless if you dont have an old samsung phone or a galaxy watch

Then avoid the ultra as it has issues that indicate worse performance than the s20+ (according to many reviewers) I've come from a rooted NOTE 4 to an S8 to the s20+ so to me the disparity in performance is night & day.
It is possible if you don't mind to add something like a ZeroLemon case , it has an 8k mAh battery connected to it , naturally size increases.
On my note 4 I used betwin 10k mAh battery for 3 months usage to start before I noticed NO benefit as the performance significantly depleted.
Review & find out if ZeroLemon offer something for the note 10

HI guys. I'm very interested in buying this 6000 battery? and i wanna know if its a good legit battery for my 20x.

And how do you came to your conclusion?
It comes with a 5000 mAh battery, right?
This one is 6000... how could it possible be legit!!! The manufacturer squeezes in as much battery as is safe and possible!
Replace with OEM only.

If it was a compatible graphene cell I be tempted but otherwise it's a high risk venture.
When an Li fails it's not a pretty picture and can easily destroy the phone.

Yes a graphene battery would be ideal if one were compatible for the 20X. Amazon sells graphene batteries but how would one make them compatible inside the phone takes guesswork.

The power controller/hardware as well as firmware would likely be incompatible.
You would need to modify the battery connection as well. If you could find one with the right dimensions the phone would be likely incapable of super fast charging it.
Be nice if a company made retrofits for older phones but this seems unlikely.
So... keep throwing Li's at it
I may go to replacing them every 6-12 months. The ignorance/fear factor is gone in me. Routine maintenance now.

Yeah I hear you. Honestly I dont mind replacing my 20x's battery. But I'm headed down that end of the road for the phone for sure as its showing its age and wrinkles. It may be time to replace it with another phone with better, up to date specs as I'm eyeing the black shark 3 pro and note 20.
The 2 issues with the BS3 pro are the camera and battery. In reviews its cam isnt that good which is a downer and the battery drains fast despite its 5000 mah capacity. The Note 20 on the other hand has a very sharp screen but its still small relative to the 20X.
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place in deciding which phone is best. Ideally if there were an ultra crisp amoled phone with the same screen size and aspect ratio as the 20X I'd jump at the chance of buying it in a heartbeat.

Meh, wait till the right comes along. I'm in a holding pattern myself with the Note 10+, Pie
Other than the battery it's aging very well.
Got 5 years out of my S4+ with only battery replacement so...
