[Q] Where can I get my Moto X battery replaced? - Moto X Q&A

I love my Moto X, but, after nine months or so, the battery is getting pretty weak. I found a nice iFixit page for replacing it myself, but I don't think I'm up to it.
Is there anywhere in the Web, preferably in the USA in my case, where I could send off my phone and have the battery replaced for a reasonable charge? I'd like to find someone with a lot of experience and with reviews of happy customers.
Thanks.

ifixit and do it.. it shouldnt be too hard. the back comes off quite easily with a plastic spudger. just be patient and take your time.

I dunno. All that business with something you have to order and then heat in the microwave and lay on the back of your phone. Then the tedious spudging action around the edges. I'm 'fraid.

I'm betting the battery is fine and you simply have an issue or two that's draining you. Haven't seen you in the battery life thread, so I'm guessing you've never asked for help?
Is your device and your money... But I'd look into the possibility of an issue before trying to replace the battery.
My 2 cents.

Yeah, you may be right. I'll try to do some troubleshooting this weekend.

If you're right, I'll refund your 2 cents. Just tell me where to send the money. (I've got some Canadian pennies I've been saving for a special occasion.)

so when i popped off my back i didnt use the heat gun or the iopener, the back came off very easily, and from there its smooth sailing, but yeah, troubleshoot the OS first, out of all my recent devices, none have ever required that the non-removable battery be replaced.

Cheap Battery from China works!

so a few of you may remember I took the plunge and bought an ebay extended battery. I'm here to report that not only do they work, they work great! I used my phone from 8 AM yesterday to about 2 AM and it still had about 20% left!!! And I was using GPS, phone calls, heavy internet browsing application installing, and more. Not to mention I just got the thing so it's probably not even broken in yet. The back is extended out a bit, but really it actually feels more solid than the standard cover. I'm 100% satisfied... for $15 shipped this is 1000000% worth it!
This is the battery I bought, it's 2000 mAh, so it needs an extended cover which this seller included with the order. I actually made a mistake and bought the P3050 version I guess it's GSM? Not sure exactly, but it didn't fit, so I emailed him and he mailed out the proper one for the Sprint CDMA version. If you email him, he should be able to help, nice guy.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2000mAh-BATTERY...Accessories?hash=item3353df7d3a#ht_2399wt_935
Just thought I'd share my success! Everyone (including myself) thought these things were garbage, but in fact this is a pretty high quality product

Hit or miss
For me, buying batteries on ebay has been a hit or miss experience. 50% good, 50 % crap (out of 6).

I agree, but this guy did me a favor. I bought the wrong one (wrong battery cover) and he hooked me up!
Berardi,
That's a great news.
I'll get one, if I need a new battery.
My standard battery life is now much better than before. Last weekend, I used a golf rangefinder (GPS for yardage). My battery died right after I hit my 2nd shot to the 18th green.
can you take a picture of the back at a different angle?
From the picture it looked aweful... like a step and then flat on the top part
For now i've been leaving my phone charged most of the time and carrying aspare battery rather than an extended one but with the use of GPS/BT/ Internet i can hardly squeeze more than 5-6 hrs before i have to replace or charge mine...
I wish the Extended batter can "blend" in more with the phone rather than the protuding and funny looking cover ...

GPS definitely drains the battery like no other. I use my phone pretty heavily, not extremely heavy on GPS like you would with golf rangefinder, but I can't imagine you being able to drain this thing in less than a few hours. Compared to my 1500 mah Seidio, a Japanese brand battery that is supposedly a very good brand, this is a pretty large increase. I'd give it a shot I would buy from this guy if I were you, he's good about responding to emails and fixing problems. Like I said, I bought the wrong version accidentally and he fixed it for me.

Yeah it does stick out about maybe 3/8 of an inch? But truthfully, it feels more solid in my hands when I'm typing and using it. I don't know if it's because the old back cover was so beat up, or if it's actually that the extra back makes it fit better in my hand, it just seems to fit better. Here I took some pics.
http://picasaweb.google.com/berardi1111/ExtendedBattery?feat=directlink
It does stick out in the battery area and not the top area and a small area not sticking out at the bottom, but it really doesn't bother me in the least. I've used mostly larger phones in the past, like the Mogul so I'm used to a larger size and prefer it actually. YMMV but I'm extremely satisfied

Nexus 5 power button rattle fix....

Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.
nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Fair enough I guess.
I did the very same with my Nexus 4. Using tiny bits of tissue. Dunno why everyone is crying about it, its a very simple fix!
Thanks mate
I'm getting my N5 tomorrow, and living in a country not supported by Google Play Devices, it's nice to know that I can fix stuff like that myself

I have a case for it that I got off ebay, a clear tpu gel one. It muffles the sound but it is still there, plus I really like the feel of the phone and in the case you lose that.

If you check further down the General section you'll see yesterday I posted screenshots where I got almost 7 hours of screen on time over an 11 or so hour period with the N5 Admittedly that was 99% on wifi, but it's still good

not concerned, thanks for the head up tho OP! :good:
The more Im reading, the creepier it gets for me Only because I'm gonna make someone buy the phone for me and send it, so there would be no chance of return if I saw any kind of defects. Just why all these reports of rattles, dead pixels, after vibration weird sound...ughhhh! Was planning to buy it from Carphone Warehouse...

[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..

Necroing to googlers know: search the part number C11N1609 into eBay and you'll find yourself a replacement battery for 15-20 USD.

By the way I'm testing a new battery that barely fits the enclosure of the clock, but if you have some eletronic skills, a lot of nerves and have nothing else to lose, then i recomend using a TCQ-10 battery form factor WG 582723, its rated 400 mAh, and it will require some modifications in the watch but its doable.
Still trying to bring back my watch back to life,(tried to redefine it but it recoverylooped), but when it's back on its feet i belive it will be able of at least 48 hours of use.

How warm is it?

I am using my phone not for gaming, just web searching Brightness set to auto, not currently charging and Its 82f here in Chicago while I am in my car and the phone is reading 43C. Is that normal I can feel the screen and back of phone warm.
I've been watching ESPN and YouTube videos for about an hour or so and I can't feel it warmed up at all. Ex kernel manager shows CPU at 34°C. I was outside and it's 78° here right now.

Battery usage. I stopped using YouTube about an hour ago.
Look how much current it's drawing with screen just on.
This phone stinks
I took the train today so I didn't use maps. I'll be driving tomorrow so I'll get a chance to see what using maps will do to my temps. This thing is liquid cooled so this shouldn't be getting hot like that unless they have the warning threshold set to low.
I have a screen issue that's not aligned correctly and now this thing is getting hot. It's going back. I don't know wether to buy a new one or go through RMA hell. Had to do that with my 6T and OnePlus is giving a bad taste in my mouth.
This is abnormal, meaning this isn't the case with every device. I haven't had a single heating issue - it could also be cause by a 3rd party app. You'll have to do a root cause through process of elimination to determine if it's the actual device.

I am not going to bother. It has a screen issue so I don't need to try and figure this issue too. So dissatisfied.
Yikes some really high temps ITT. Maybe a sensor issue?
For those getting 40C+ temps with light usage, does it feel warm?

I saw your post about the asymmetry of the bezels. Not surprised that you are the only person with these issues. RMA would be my suggestion, but just return if you want/need a faster solution.

There RMA is the worst. I have the 12gb version so it's on back order.

Could be one of your apps causing it. If you're rooted you could run top in a terminal and see what's going on. Did you recently transfer a ton of media to it, possibly it could be the media scanner. But I would definitely figure out what's going on because those temps aren't normal and will affect your battery health long term.
I haven't had mine get hot yet.
Temps on mine. My Pixel 2 XL got much warmer.
Sounds like yours is just hot blooded. Bummer.

Not rooted. Did not transfer anything. Already boxed it up and ready to ship back. Back to my 6T. I don't have any luck with OnePlus.

For those who can purchase outright, this is probably the only benefit of getting from T-Mobile.
But...you have the 12GB version. Not an option for you, I guess.

Taxes too are a benefit when buying online.

I know. But how much is peace of mind worth? At least you have a face to hold responsible (figuratively and literally...although, I don't suggest the literal).
