what you think?
Well they've a 3500 for evo so I'll wait
That's not a huge difference and 50 dollars is a bit steep for me.

$50 for aprox 30min to 1 extra hour of battery life.... it's a bit hard to swallow indeed.
but it's worth it if you do really need that extra time
personally i carry 2 extra battery packs with me, so ... extra mAh is not that big of a concern

IMO, the 3000+ mAh batteries are hideous with their custom battery covers. I'd rather go the 2 battery route lol
This is only marginally on-topic, but it's been on my mind. Phones are so slim now, why not just make batteries that have the same height and width of the body of the phone? Sure it'll make the phone some fraction of a centimeter thicker and a couple ounces heavier, but you could use the thing screen on all day if you wanted to, and with moderate use it'd easily go three or four. It would take longer to charge, of course, but it'd probably still easily go from 0-100% overnight, not that you'd normally need it to.

because batteries don't work like that, from what you're saying, I'm assuming you want a thin but wide battery that spans the entire phone surface area, the thing is... batteries work on stored capacitance and the physics of it doesn't allow a battery to store charge if you design it in the way you mentioned. sorry that would be nice though!

Dude wtf, spewing some trash talk there.
You can design a battry in any shape aslong as its not tubular.
the cells should be of same sizes and capcatance, you colud make a thin battery 90% of the internal surface area of any device aslong as the device is desinged for it.
Hell have you seen button batterys / model aircraft nicads e.c.t they come in all kinds of sizes.
tbh the phone company's just skimp on batterys you could makr a phone with a 3000mha batt as standard if they gave more room to batts, if you strip down many phones you could trim the fat and easly get another 500mha out...
its not the shape of the battery that matters its the volume of the chemicals inside, it could be flat and wide and have the same capacity as a thick but smaller battery. chemistry man, chemistry.
So has anyone actually used this?

IMO most battery useage claims are very hard to prove. People can claim they got an hour or two more of useage, but no two days of use are going to be identical. The screen wont be powered on the exact same amount. You wont receive / send the same amount of messages , you wont check your tweets the same amount, you wont start the day with the same exact charge, etc. Its very hard for the average user to set up an objective test for this sort of thing. Individual batteries, including stock, will also vary depending on condition. The numbers are there, but like all things - your mileage may vary. With that being said Seido is a very reputable company, and I'd trust their product over some eBay brand (reference another thread).

Best thing to do probably is:
1. Fully charge
2. Go into airplane mode
3. Set up looping video at full brightness
4. Unplug
5. record battery life on reboot after it dies
6. Repeat with next battery
can't get much more consistent than that.

im good with the battery time of my original.
Like the title said. How often do you charge your Nexus 4 each day. Pleas take into consideration that you let your N4 run at least under 30% before charging. If you can go on without recharging your battery for more than one day please post the numbers of days.
I charge once a day. I get 12-16 hours of battery life from what I consider an average day attached are screenshots from yesterdays battery life

Yep, same. I've even had 40 hours out of it once, but only because I was in meetings for 2 days and the screen was off for 8 hours at a time. that was fully charged to completely dead.
Really happy with the battery life so far, I was being conservative on my last phone with battery however now I've got this I don't really think about it so much.

I got my Nexus on Tuesday night and I'm only just charging it for the first time now.
I'm only a light user though.
Once - Over night
Last's all day wifi on 8hrs - BT 1hr - texting & a few calls
Depends. When I'm at home I charge once per day, but when in at work it just sits on my desk charging. I normally use the phone more at work then I do at home, so it's hard for me to tell if I could really get through a whole day work my normal usage. I have done about 12-14 hours or so with a couple hours of screen time and still had 15% left. To me, the battery has been about 25 percent better than the gnex.

I still love my Nexus 4 and it performs well still but the battery life is now beyond dire, charging it 3 times a day.
Is it worth paying a firm to replace the battery? My thoughts are that I can just put that money towards an inevitable replacement in the near future.

I just replaced the battery in my N4. It was simple, requiring only a small torx driver and a small Phillips, plus a pry tool. The battery was cheap on Amazon and says it is an LG battery.
The old battery would no longer charge at all.

I still get 4h of SoT, and 10-12 hours battery time - so I am still quite happy with my N4. Unfortunately the camera really sucks (even more now) so I will replace the beloved N4 soon.

Yeah, I am having intermittent camera issues, a lot of photos come out black even in good light.
It's another excuse to upgrade I guess, has been a great phone though.
I think I should try the battery swap thing, mine just cannot get more than an hour and a half of SOT no matter what combination of ROM, Kernel and Android version I try, and using it during my daily commute means I arrive at my workplace at already 60% even if I'm on extremely low screen brightness. Greenify doesn't help either because it's the actual screen on what kills it, as long as the screen is off the battery drain is negligible.
Worst part is that every single battery out there is a fake, just with a very high-quality copied sticker on it. AFAIK the only way to get a new original battery is through LG and for a price you'd be better just getting a new Moto E 3rd gen for a little bit more and call it a day.

hello to all nexus 4 members. due the low life battery of the nexus 4 i consider to requesst from Mugen power to create us
better alternative to make a battery like 3600mah or more. for you who didnt know mugen power are company that makes extened and very strong battaries alternatives to a lot of smartphones. here the website
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
you can google reviiews and youtube for comprasion for stock battaries and their battaries. i found that there are cases that their battaries are twice stronger than normal battaries. ok back to our issue- i know that the battery of nexus 4 is not
replaceable but i read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013947. so now with little work anyone can take out his nexus 4 battery.
the problem is there is not alternative in the market i thought that if we (a lot of members of nexus 4 of this great forum)
will ask them in 4 ways

to mugen power they will create some good decent battarey for us although its little complicated to take out the stock battarey.
suggestions? opinions? can it work? i say lets blast them with requests. if they will see thare are a lot of future costumers for thier product they can make us some unique battarey.
They are a company based out of Hong Kong. They will definitely jump in IF there is a demand for it.
In HK, Samsung is the king in smart phones so it might take them a while to build something that is too new.
With the shortage now, I think it won't happen soon.

The nexus 4's somewhat bad battery life is solely software related. Just wait for someone to figure out where the wakelocks come from and you'll see great battery life.
Also, undervolt your CPU and you should be getting close to 5 hours screen on time.

Same here, I'm getting pretty amazing battery life. I get about 5 hours screen on time with just about a days worth of battery. Or I get about 2 days of battery on lighter use (about 3-3.5 hours screen on). For me wifi is on full-time and brightness is lowest at night and just less than 50% in the day.

I'm at 5h of screen use right now (PA stock kernel) and I think it's quite good actually. I wouldn't have said no to a Mugen battery pack but since the N4 have a closed back it's not just a matter of simply posing a new battery cover, it would be to much hassle for me. I would purchase an external USB battery pack instead.

Amazing battery life here as well. Running LTE and max brightness. Take that! In my opinion, as long as it lasts a day then I am fine. I hear people who claim that they get 1.5 days on their iPhones. Instead of charging it at night they keep it till the next day then scramble around panicking when they need to find a charger at mid-day.
First, I'd like to say that I average 4-5h of screen on time with my N4, and my battery easily lasts throughout the day, even with my heavy usage. Here's a screenshot of today, for example:
But if you really need an extended battery, rather than Mugen, I'd actually like to see Anker do one for the N4. I have a 1900mAh Anker in my old HTC Sensation, and it's a world of difference compared to the stock 1520mAh battery. It's also the exact same size, so no special cover is needed. It's slightly heavier too, so all things considered, I'd bet Anker isn't lying about their mAh rating. They get solid reviews everywhere, too, which is why I chose them to cure the awful Sensation battery issue (if you think the N4's stock battery is bad, you seriously need to try that phone! )
No battery issue here..

You do realize its capacity is anywhere from 2500 mAh to 3100 mAh, not really 4000 mAh? It's physically impossible to fit bigger higher capacity cells into single OEM battery size. Typically these ebay batteries, like Golden 4200 mAh, are closer to 2500 mAh (I have tested a few), but from your screenshots and the fact it costs over $10 - I think its safe to assume it will be closer to OEM 3100 mAh. Just gotta watch out for any bulging which happens with these over time especially when you charge them at full 2A speed, and you probably going to notice performance to go down in about 3-4 months.
Sorry bro, didn't mean to rain on your parade. It's just a fact with these ebay batteries.

It is surely better than my stock battery. So it can't be less than 3100mah. Has to be higher.

Ooh, you just offended a bunch of people on this forum who got Golden batteries hoping they will get 4200 mAh for $6
Unless you have some latest ground breaking info about new development in battery cell density, Samsung used the highest density battery in their OEM footprint. It's a fact. The only way to maximize it was by doubling the size, thus all the reputable companies had double thickness/capacity with 6200 mAh batteries and Zerolemon had it at triple with 9300 mAh. The only company that was able to squeezed a bit more was Mugen who does their own development and was able to squeeze in 6400 mAh in double capacity.
To verify capacity of your battery, looking at performance with screen on time, etc is not accurate. Especially since you are comparing it to an original battery with aged performance. You need to get an external hardware battery tester where you charge the battery to a full capacity and let it discharge down to 2.4V cutoff voltage while monitoring the actual current drain over time to get the exact capacity in mAh.
Btw, just for sh!ts'n'giggles, take the label off your battery to see what is stamped in there as actual capacity

Chill bro, I'm not doubting your screenshots or your experience. As I said, it sounds like you probably got 3100 mAh battery. That's all. As someone who reviews a lot of accessories and gadgets on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333) and helps other members on this forum, I just want to be sure other people are not mislead by thinking they can get 4000 mAh battery because Note 2 battery with such capacity doesn't exist. Period. Neither does anything over 3200 mAh since I remember testing my Anker 3100 mAh to be slightly higher then stock capacity. The screenshots are real, I'm not doubting it, but that is call a "relative test" to another reference of someone else using stock capacity battery under different conditions with different setting and running different apps. We had people reporting poor performance with ZL 9300 mAh while the fact is they were comparing it to stock battery performance from 3-4 months ago when they had different setup with different apps, etc.
Just calm down, enjoy your battery, and spend a little bit of time reading this website with a lot of Note 2 battery reviews and explanation how they really being tested: http://www.batteryreview.info/

Just got this
Just got this battery and managed to last over 7hrs of onscreen time doing mostly messaging, web browsing, watching videos off the microsd card and youtube.
Auto-brightness was set to about 30% (was more than sufficient for an overcast day and 8 hours in the office).
Had location services turned on, gmail and Exchange syncing. Also had music playing (Poweramp) for most of the work day.
Hope this helps any others looking to give this a try.
No idea if I will get this sort of screen time on the stock battery as I've only had a half day use of it (bought the phone used off ebay and got the extended battery at the same time).

I have no way of actually testing this though, but there's no way the OP's battery is anywhere near 4000mah.
On a similar note, does anyone know of any tools to accurately measure these battery capacities?

They've only said how many hours in how many minutes of charge. But if I had to guess, it's probably 25% in 15 minutes. And the 8 hours is most likely standby time.

As long as the battery lasts until the next nexus comes out. I'm OK. Surely this has been tested enough to get a year out of the battery. Time will tell. But it does tapper off after it has so much charge. I'm putting a little faith in battery technology. And maybe I could use custom kernel and then flash stock when I NEED a quick charge

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

But it does tapper off after it has so much charge. I'm putting a little faith in battery technology. And maybe I could use custom kernel and then flash stock when I NEED a quick charge

But i plan to keep my nexus 6 untill end of my days!
Btw! I was waiting for answers like: WI-FI: On,min brightness : 7hours of video playback!
I saw tests like this on gsmarena, all tests are at same setting so i can get idea of how long they last!

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

+ there is no repair stuff here! So when battery is gone so is my phone :/
Even if they open it, they likely break some parts or scratch it horribly! And make it greasy!

I sure hope it doesn't hurt the battery. I'm not an expert in that department. This is the bad part about a newer technology. Maybe that's why apple is always 3 years behind. Lol

The charging current itself shouldn't really impact the wear on the battery. The only increased wear would be due to the increased heat generated by faster charging.
That said, I think it's a good trade-off. My Nexus 5 charges to full in about 1h20m, and I'm able to deal with the lackluster battery life as a result.

You are wrong. They both affect battery life. There are current limits, and recommendations because of this.
Who here actually works for a battery company? We have no idea what they have done to maybe make this efficient.

Sure we do, they use 2A charge rate, instead of ~1.5/1.2
