htc 2150 battery on amazon

this should be legit right? with all the fake battery threads and everything lately, i want to be very careful where i buy my battery from unless its from the verizon store. i think this is legit though, and a decent price cheaper than buying from verizon.

Yup, looks like the OEM one that I have. The fact that it comes with the back which says HTC is a pretty good indicator too

i saw those, i dont think those are legit OEM HTC batteries....

I've had mine for awhile and easily get through a day with a single charge. So legit or not they work. Stock battery I'd be lucky to make past lunch some days

I ordered it, 100% legit. It's a great upgrade for the phone. While it does look thicker, it's feel is actually better. You can easily get a full day out of this battery with heavy use. I purchased it as a 'when I need my phone all day' kinda battery. No worries.
Only thing is the back bezel doesn't come with the metal around the headphone jack. But the case is OEM.

Ultimately do what makes you comfortable. Just thought I'd share my experience. Everyone on these forums have been so helpful to me thought I'd put my 2 cts in. I was a little skeptical too. Battery is red and says HTC (easy enough to do) but received in 2 days and couldn't be happier. 2 best things about are not having to have an ugly hump and no longer having to hear my brother (ex iPhone user) ***** about the terrible battery life. So in short 2 people very happy with these.
Good luck with whatever you choose

I actually should have went with it to try it out, but i had already ordered the 2150. i actually like thicker phones, i cant stand thin phones, on my old g1 i used to have one of those like 3500 batteries and it was huge lol.
my friend has an inc and i know he wont want to get a thicker battery, so ill have him order the one you got. thanks for the review on it btw.

This battery is so worth the money. Got it last night, charged it (bump charged it) and been unplugged since 830am, and 7hrs later and I'm at 63%. Id be dead already on the stock battery.

why do people want to buy zero lemon battery?

I can understand that if you work in a cave for 4 days straight, you want might want to the zero lemon battery, but for a average office worker with a 9 to 5 job in a city, where plugs is available at work, why would you want to buy the zerom lemon battery. It's seems to me there is no real benefit and the added weight and thickness makes the phone less portable.

When people want to use a real portable device, they want to stay away from the outlet for as long as possible until they're about to go to sleep.

Because we can...

if your jogging consists of walking 15-20 miles while simultaneously using a gps running app and watching hours of movies...then yeah...maybeeee a bigger battery would be necessary =P

no one here has a legit reason to get a 9300 mha battery?

Some people travel and do not always have access to an outlet for extended periods of time. Use a power bank? Not very convenient to have the cable attached to your phone while using it. Infact, it can double as a power bank- over at the zero lemon thread there is a guy charging other people's phones. It could not only charge phones, but other devices too such as a digital camera battery if need be. Why do people have the 6200 mah extended batteries? For most of the reasons listed here. Also, the zero lemon appears to add very little bulk while adding 3100 mah in a very unique design.

Per your opening post question, maybe there isn't an average office worker who wants this battery. More than likely people with different circumstances own these. People who assume everyone else must have the same needs as them are pretty closed minded.
I don't own one but my guess is that those who do are in situations frequently where they don't have easy access to electrical outlets or simply are annoyed more by frequent recharging than by size.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

Not gonna lie, I wish they could implement a battery the same size as the 3100mah, but higher mah's. I just got a 6200 Hyperion battery/case and can definitely feel the extra weight for sure.
I got a bigger battery as I get tired of having to plug in mid way to my work shift. Kinda defeats the purpose of being a mobile phone. Most days I would get through a work shift, but there were those down days at work and be half way, plugging in....
Honestly not sure if this Hyperion battery is any better. Seems to be going the same rate my 3100 mah Samsung was going.....
Worse case, send this back and pick up Some 3100 Anker batteries to swap out.
Choices is always good. At least we have this option still, lol!

As a matter if fact, it's pretty funny that someone who owns such a huge phone would ask this question since people with "normal" sized screen phones from 3.5 to 5 inches probably think the same about your phone choice. "Why would anyone need such a huge screen when the average person would be able to get by just fine with the ALREADY huge screens of something like a GS3!" If I had a nickel for every time someone asks me that when they see my note 2.........sheesh!

If I was closed minded, I would not have asked for reasons, right? The fact that I want to know why, shows I am willing to understand the motive behind it.
I really hope that we can have a meaning and mature discussion without resort to name calling or labelling.

it must be a long horse ride?

Another reason which could have been missed, the company itself is named ZeroLemon for a purpose they stand behind their product and it's quality, and it's true 9300 mAh capacity. There are only a handful of brand names I trust which have consistently delivered per their label, aside from their price difference. Plus a commitment to post pone a release of production-ready battery because tpu case (which is not even part of the battery functionality) wasn't fitting right - speaks highly of them. Of course, I have never tested their products and don't know about the quality until I have it in my hands. But based on all the preliminary reading and a few email exchanges, I will give them a benefit of a doubt!

Third Party DIY Nexus 10 Internal Battery Replace & Review

Apologies in advance, I could not post proper links for this review due to my low post count.
Background
I ordered a Nexus 10 on November 20th, 2012. Initially, I was pleased by the battery life (~6.5 hours). Probably a bit like the "Boiling Frog" metaphor, the battery life degraded and I didn't notice it. I began to notice the battery degradation recently when my tablet began doing the 0% battery shutdown at ~30%.
First thing I did was get on the phone with Google, to see if I could get them to warranty the battery. Being a couple of months out of warranty, I wasn't expecting it to work, but it couldn't hurt. Denied. So, I called Samsung. After two hours and 8 different technical support phone numbers, they couldn't recognize my tablet serial number. I'm guessing it was unrecognized (which is no excuse, by the way) because I bought it on the Google Play Store. Besides all that, they didn't recognize the product name, kept calling it strange stuff like Nexus 10.1 or Nexus Note. They told me they would research and return my call at a later time.
My Nexus 10 is a daily driver with a minimum of 3 hours of use a day and often over 6. After impatiently waiting a few days, I began to panic. I began to believe that I had paid ~$500 for a device that, after a few more cells died, was going to be an expensive brick. I did some research and could find NO reviews on the NewPower99 battery kit, and since I felt that my options were relatively few, I decided to take the plunge.
Kit Contents and Cost
Ordered from Amazon for $75.41 (shipping and taxes included)
1 Cameron Sino 9000 mAh 33.3Wh Lithium-Polymer Battery Pack
One tiny screw screwdriver
Two tiny plastic prying tools
One plastic video disk (Not sure what it does, they special players can spin it fast and a video will play(!!??))
The Replacement and Pitfalls
Rather than using the included plastic video disk, I searched YouTube until I found the video: NewPower99 by NewLife2OldStuff. It's a great primer for this battery replacement, but there are a few parts where the disassembler's chubby fingers get in the way of disconnecting connectors. I suggest watching a few other Nexus 10 teardown videos prior to the actual teardown.
Prior to this, I had not attempted any mobile device disassembly/assembly. I did break a little insulation on the video card connector on the main board but this is due to me only watching the NewPower99 video and missing a detail (pull the display cable rather than flip the connector). Also due to how delicate the internals are, I did not push the display connector in far enough, which led to the display power being spotty. So, I had to redisassemble the tablet a few days later and reconnect it. Had I done more research and been a bit more patient, I'm sure the replacement would have been flawless.
The aftermath
My tablet has not yet exploded. As a matter of fact, one week in, I'm amazed. I've fell back in love with my tablet. Since the battery replacement, I usually don't need to charge until the end of the day. I run a conservative brightness on the display and, of course, that helps. Also, while I've done no metrics, I believe I've seen an unintended improvement: the charge time has improved. It was not unusual for me to plugin during sleep and still not have a full charge in the morning, which I haven't seen happen since battery replacement.
At a later time, I intend to respond to this post with an unscientific update on the battery's life. If the battery life stays relatively the same, I wouldn't really mind yearly replacement at this battery's warranty limitation and probably expected minimum life. Small price to pay for great battery life and a very underrated tablet.
Also, Samsung did, finally, return my support call a few days ago but I never called back. Don't call me, I'll call you .

Light Statistics (screenshots below)
~11:46 battery time
~6:45 display on time (top battery user)
~1:45 RetroArch (runner up top battery user)
These aren't really shabby for this tablet. Non-scientifically: the display was at ~25% brightness (in-house usage) >95% of the time, and never went below that. ~3-5% of the time the display was 100% (outdoors).
Program usage was an ordinary day of tablet use.

Not going to lie this is quite an informative post since the battery went bad over the course of a year later... I don't use my tablet as much as I first used to, but with all this android tech talk and new phones coming out at this time I use it more than I normally have (and also for the room 2 love that game!). I will definitely subscribe to this post so I have it handy if/when my battery starts doing the same thing as well in due time.

Thanks for this thread. My tablet has been going to 0% when it reaches 15%. So I've been looking to get a replacement battery. Cheers mate.

Wow, that's an impressive price and I definitely would have taken it from there. I can't really speak about any company's reliability in general but the newpower99 thing worked well in my case. The only thing I'd have to say about getting it directly from cameroninobattery.com is finding those tiny tools; it shouldn't be that difficult at all (definitely worth the $50 to find them!). Still loving the battery life. :good:

I am extremely disappointed by my options to keep my nexus 10 going strong. I love the tablet... w/ its current screen resolution i really have NO reason to upgrade to a new device... however right now NO ONE carries this part. If google is NOT going to support having replaceable batteries, and there are no 3rd party options, we are all simply buying disposable electronics... its ridiculous.
Right now it is out of stock everywhere and there are 2 shady listings on ebay. Extremely disapointed with this.

I am going through this right now! I am not sure if I should buy from the sketchy eBay listings or what. I tried NewPower99 but claim to have none in stock due to a production issue. It is almost as if Samsung went after the 3rd party that made the battery so they could not sell it. My tablet is out of warranty and I have no idea what to do as its worth nothing to trade in and I don't have the $$$ for a new tablet. If anyone has any suggestions or bought a replacement battery and hasn't used or opened it and would be willing to part with it I may be interested in buying.

I am having the same problem. Nobody has the battery. So I finally found something on Alibabba and ordered it straight from china for something like $35 (through a friend's account, so I don't have the details at the moment). I expect it will take at least a month to get here. I hope it works and lasts, cheap batteries rarely work out very well in the long term.... but what choice do I have? This is a $500 tablet that is not that old! It now powers down at 70% battery, usually less than an hour playing a game

I went ahead and ordered the nexus 10 battery off of Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/261555419335?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Just a (size 0?) phillips (you can pull off the cover to see the screw size). If it fits one, it'll fit all you need to get it pulled off. :good:

Somewhat offtopic, I might end up getting the new Nexus tablet, regardless. The center of my screen has started getting a brown burn-in color, most visible when the screen is white. Which is quite a shame, this tablet is still plenty peppy for me (it's my fastest development device), and have no other problems with the device at all (the battery still shines). The monitor life was probably accelerated by the high sleep time (10 or 30 minutes, don't remember which one) since it's a development machine I keep it on between compiles so it's there when I need it. :crying:

Working better than your aged old battery?

I got mine from Amazon, they missed the shipping window so I got a full refund, $15 credit and the battery lol. Would like to say though, buy one already curved, the battery will pretty much influence the entire body of the phone, having it even slightly off will cause the frame to bend and warp which is noticable. I spent idk how long trying all sorts of methods, even using my old battery as a guide to bend the new one, have been doing repairs for years, have ran my own repair shop for a time, extensive collection of ifixit/various tools and such, and I was still unable to bend it 100% factory curve, which results in an odd, for lack of a better term, "twist" to the phone when held up & looking straight down the phone, screen facing ceiling. The top left corner is ever slightly twisted to the rear. I have retried over the last 2-3 months here and there, taking it out, straightening the mid-frame on a completely flat (checked with level) surface, making sure the built-in guide plastics are aligned, then getting the battery to where I swear it's perfect, but when everything is back together, it's always just a little off lol.
I mean it's not really noticable unless you know what your looking for, if you really inspect it, but my OCD attention to detail can't stand it lol. This is a launch day, pre-ordered Nexus 6 that has always been in a dual layer case, never dropped, and not one scratch on it, screen or body, it's my baby and I like to take care of my phone's. Yet this battery is driving me mad that I'm seriously considering in the future buying an entire new mid-frame, screen, and OEM pre-curved battery just to have it right lol.

This one here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017JJNM0E/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
::EDIT:: Should point out the seller I got it from is no longer selling it I just noticed. Also had Prime shipping so it was free and the final total was $17.99, which I mentioned, I was fully refunded + extra credited for, so really Amazon paid me $15 to take the battery lmao. Gotta love Amazon lol. ::EDIT::
As far as comparison goes it seems the same if not better, I have ran the factory battery since release so I may have just forgotten the experience of the stock battery, by the time I replaced it I was having shutdowns @ 45-50% remaining lol. This one does go down fully to 1% no problems and has been holding up to the frequent charge cycles I put it through as I run it @ 3.0GHz cpu / 800MHz gpu and tethering running 24/7 putting 300-500 GB's a month over Sprints 20 MHz Band 41 and never use anything but Qualcomm certified Quickcharge 3.0 chargers (yes I know N6 is only 2.0/future proofing ftw). However the stock charger burnt out a loooong time ago, I have been running with an Aukey PA-T9 wall charger & Anker Powerline+ 6Ft cable and Ampere reads on avg 2200-2400ma so no problems there.
I am employed at a local sales store doing repairs and still have access to old along with a new supplier, haven't actually compared 1:1 yet but I might be able to get the parts for cheaper than a new phone. I wouldn't want a used one, wouldn't be able to stand going from a pristine N6 to one that god knows what happened to it or how many scratches it has on it or what the solder connections look like lol, I'd rather keep my board that I know everything is good or if I could grab a new 64gb board when they are reasonably priced lol.

::EDIT:: Should point out the seller I got it from is no longer selling it I just noticed. Also had Prime shipping so it was free and the final total was $17.99, which I mentioned, I was fully refunded + extra credited for, so really Amazon paid me $15 to take the battery lmao. Gotta love Amazon lol. ::EDIT::
As far as comparison goes it seems the same if not better, I have ran the factory battery since release so I may have just forgotten the experience of the stock battery, by the time I replaced it I was having shutdowns @ 45-50% remaining lol. This one does go down fully to 1% no problems and has been holding up to the frequent charge cycles I put it through as I run it @ 3.0GHz cpu / 800MHz gpu and tethering running 24/7 putting 300-500 GB's a month over Sprints 20 MHz Band 41 and never use anything but Qualcomm certified Quickcharge 3.0 chargers (yes I know N6 is only 2.0/future proofing ftw).

I also think that replacing the battery is totally worth the hassle... I did it on mine as I was getting shutdowns at below 30% and the hissing speaker sound. I bought the OEM battery off of eBay, which was very very legit 1:1 as the one I pulled out of the phone, every single letter was matching. Even though I managed to f&ck up the power and volume cable during replacement and I had to buy a new one and spent another $6, for total of $20 I'm in a very good spot... I've had my N6 since release date and still love it. If you think about it, what better phone can you get that is vanilla Android and has beautiful design? The pixel for 1K? No thanks...

I love my Shamu, but I'm probably gonna upgrade in late Winter/early Spring of 2018. There are few things I don't like about this phone. Thanks! I'm getting shutdowns at 4%, once got it at 10%. AccuBattery says I have 2550 mAh per charge, out of the 3220 mAh original capacity, so I'll probably wait another month, while getting more opinions.

Is my Nexus 6 dead?

Phone was working perfectly, battery is in great condition and lasts 1+ day. Suddenly it wont turn on. No light or indicator when plugged in. Tried hard reset (via power button), bootloader/recovery (power + vol dn) etc, nothing does anything. Even tried putting on wireless charger, leaving it plugged in overnight etc. No response at all.
What should I do at this point?

Try a very long press of the power button - more than 10 seconds. That may force a shutdown if the phone is stuck in some non-reacting state.
If that doesn't work, I would say you are in for a repair. Could be as simple as replacing the power button or as bad as the motherboard, not easy to tell.

Didn't do anything. I checked with Motorola and the cheapest repair option is ~$115 which is rather high. I can buy a replacement phone for just a bit more.

You can always try replacing the power button. You can buy it from China for $3, and it is reasonably easy to do yourself.
Though it could be a number of other things, so the odds are rather low.

I recently cracked the screen on my Shamu so I'm in a bit of a similar dilemma. If your not partial to Shamu, you can get the OG Pixels for around 120 give or take. Oneplus 3T and 5 can be found at good prices. Granted, these are preowned so the battery condition can vary but I've generally had great experiences buying that way. I personally think I'm going to move on to a Oneplus before long.

Yes, I'n looking for a used Pixel XL. Do you have any reliable ebay sellers you know about?

The phone won't operate with an open/damaged battery. It would be a mistake to rule it out without measuring it with a multimeter or replacing it with a known good one. Your next step is obvious; You will need to open the back as shown online or find someone that will since parts are available.

No, I do not. I've been using Swappa rather than EBay. EBay is good, Swappa is awesome. There is a play store app for Swappa but it was sorta glitchy for me so I'd recommend using their website, Swappa.com
I just scored a 500gb PS4 with Bluetooth headset, controller, 7 games for 180 shipped few weeks back off Swappa or I'd have already replaced Shamu. Its mainly for phones though few other tech things as well. What I really like with Swappa is how detailed the listings are and how simple both the buying/selling process is. I'd highly recommend and encourage you to check it out.

This may be a bit OT ....
Thats a good deal on the PS4, congrats. I am also a new PS4 owner, I was able to get the black friday deal for 1TB PS4 slim for $200 which came with the new Spiderman game which I sold for $30.
There are a lot of used games available for cheap for PS4 online or in places like GamesStop, I've been able to buy a few $5/10 titles.
I looked on Swapp for Pixel or Pixel 2 XL but most were well over ebay prices. Will keep looking.
