I bought backup battery for my wings on ebay, LIBR-160. Battery looks the same as original but with one difference. Original battery has metal back side that connects two metal contacs on back of the phone. Replacement battery is isolated on back side.
Does any one knows what are two contacts in battery compartment?

Anyone can advise what is the effect of removing the internal battery which is soldered to the motherboard? Thinking of removing it to prevent any battery leakage issues. If the battery is only to maintain the clock, I would wish to remove it if it does not impair other functions.
go under the settings -> system -> power and see if there are two meters..if you have a "main battery" and a "backup battery" meter then i guess removing it it'll impair other functions. can't test because of my battery issue, but if helps, when i removed the motherboard battery, nothing changed..my phone is still ****ed up
so far there is only the primary battrey being on the power indicator. Unlike my older Dell Axim there is 2 types of battrey indicator
my advice is to leave it there..i didn't heard anybody having battery leak issue :-s
I have removed the coin cell battery from the motherboard. Just cut the metal that is holding the battery to the motherboard. is a 3yo unit and the coin cell has green oxidization at the sides. Just use a small wire cutter. I can confirm that the coin cell is only for the clock. All other functions not affected.
the set was working fine for a while on a custom rom till a day that it works hardly and turned off then works in the next day then switched off automatically while using a new battery (as the old got bigger and spoiled) but it gives warning that means it had a problem.
since that time it didn't work at all
putting the device on the charger or connecting it via usb cable , doesn't give any sign and the three buttons to get the download mode doesn't work
I searched everywhere and found nothing.
finally the mobile is black ' dead , in another world" and no respond
is there any way to have it back, or should I take it to samsung ????
thanks

Its possible your new battery is not in contacts with the terminals, so take out battery, give both side battery contacts and Phone Battery terminals a good cleaning and if possible ensure the are not bent inwards but able to connect with your battery.
some have used even folded paper to ensure the contacts are firm and tight.
since your old battery had swollen it may have caused some damage to your phone.

Take it to Samsung service center with original defective swollen battery (it should be covered by warranty ( since new battery fails too but they can fail to cover it, if it boots up with a non stock ROM)
Samsung Service
Yes, go definitely to Samsung Service, as maybe there is some short circuit in your device.
you've probably had some acid leakage from swollen battery,
Sell it to me!
For the past 6 months or so, I've been seeing large drops in my battery life on a daily basis. The percentage reported will drop instantly 20% to 30%. It shows up in the battery life graph as a vertical drop. Attached is an example, but note, I'm not referring to the 2 black lines, those are where I rebooted my phone, I'm talking about the 2 green lines that show an instant drop.
I've been running the latest stable release of CM 10 (cm-10.2.1-maserati) but last night I decided to try upgrading to the latest snapshot release of CM 11 (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-maserati) but this did not fix anything. I don't know if it is related or not, but occasionally I will plug in my phone to charge overnight and the next morning (6-8 hours later) it will either not have charged at all or the percentage will have only gone up a few points.( say from 13 to 19%), at first I thought the cable was loose, but I checked and the history details will show the phone as charging.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this a sign of my battery dying?

do you have any other cables/chargers to test? i wanna say the battery might be getting worn out. when i got the droid 4 i use off ebay the battery had the same problem and i was losing about 30%-35% total so i decided to get another one of those gold extended batteries and now the drop is only about 10-15%

This happens with various cables and chargers, including charging via a few differnt computers and wall sockets.
Attached is a screenshot of the other problem I mentioned (where it will either not charge, charge slowly, or lose charge while plugged in) it happened this AM so I was able to capture it. The phone indicates that it was charging all night but when I woke up the battery was down to 75%.
As a side note, how difficult was it to replace the battery? I know that the D4 battery is not meant to be replaceable (thanks alot Motorola) but I've read that it is possible.
It is not that hard. Takes me like 2 minutes to take out the cover, unscrew and replace the battery. Tutorial could be found on YouTube anyway

i dont know why its not charging properly especially when its not even awake and youre on wifi.
the gold extended battery comes with the screwdriver you need to remove the 2 screws that connect the battery to the phone so the only tricky part is removing the battery after you unscrew it. the first time might be a little tough but after that it comes off easy. to the right of the flex cable there should be a little plastic you can pull on to safely remove it but itll most likely be covered by the tape with your device information on it
i dont recommend pulling from the flex cable at all or removing the back cover of the phone too often because the plastic that holds it in becomes loose and itll just break off
why couldnt they just make it like the droid 3? so much better

Thanks, I'll look into one of those replacement batteries.
I have the same problem. Battery usually drops from ~40% to 20%, sometimes from ~60% to 40%. But I don't think, there's something wrong with the battery, because when it gets to 1% it stays there for hours before it dies. So to me, it seems just like a problem with reading data from battery in the ROM. If you check battery level in SafeStrap, you will see correct values.
Someone in other thread suggested that for him update to latest nightly build fixed this problem, for me it didn't work(but I didn't make clean install, just updated from M12).
Yeah, it's anoying but I got used to it.
Hello! When i was replacing my digitizer i saw that little silver part was free after removing case. I'll link photo of this. Does someone know is this part necessary to work? Usually i have problems with battery. It can turn off like there's no battery left and it only turns on while it's charging. Does this part can affect on this problem?

That's a shield for what it seems to be the antenna circuitry. Has nothing to do with charging/battery.
It took a weight off my mind I've had problems with wi-fi, but it doesn't disturb me that much. Anyway, is this shield important? What can create this problem with battery? I mean, phone could turn off and couldn't rewoke. It only worked after charging it up for a while (battery usually charged to ~90%) May I buy a new battery?
I peeled off the back cover so I could swap on a new one and put a new Slickwrap on. With it still off, I found I can't get the phone to turn back on. I also found that I made a small puncture in the battery foil just under the edge of the black mat that the wireless coil in on. There's a glue/paint smell in that area that the rest of the open phone doesn't seem to have.
Should it be able to turn on with the back cover off or is there some "safety" that prevents that?
Is a small puncture in the foil a problem, or is it just a cosmetic wrap?
I have not put the new back cover on yet.
I plugged it in and the screen showed the charging battery animation. Still open back.
I put it on my wireless charger and it powered on automatically. Doesn't seem to respond to pushing the power button. No back cover still.
The volume buttons don't work either. I put the old cover back on and got no change.
I reseated the ribbon cable by the power/volume buttons and it seems to be fine now.
Still wondering about the battery foil puncture though?
I would replace the battery, just to be on the safe side. They are not too expensive. You don't want your phone to be a Galaxy Note-like bomb in your pocket.
Also, if it is the original battery, it will be old by now. Many people (me included) have had to replace their batteries because of sudden power offs.
The battery life has really held strong so far. And I am considering a new phone come Black Friday, so I might hold off on a new battery for now. I'd get a Pixel 3xl, if it weren't for the lack of headphone jack.
