Should I replace my battery? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So I have had the m7 for exactly 2 years now. Performance wise, it's still pretty smooth but the battery life is beginning to get horrible. With all the updates over the years, the battery life just seems to be dropping. I get max 45 mins to 1 hour screen on time and total life of about 10 hours or 12 on a good day. I've tried a lot of different roms but in the end they all show the same stats. I'm beginning to think my battery is wearing out. Do you guys think this is the case? And if it is should I go to the service center and get it replaced or do it on my own? (It's obviously not under warranty). I live in India.
Thanks!

I got this phone few months ago and my battery life is terrible after 5.0.2 update. It's dropping by 1 % every 2-5 minutes, even on sleep.

Well, unless you want to pay for HTC to replace it, I'd advise against trying to open up the phone to replace it yourself. If you do open it up, it's very difficult to get the phone apart, or to put the phone back together, without damaging it.

I was wondering the same thing, I've already bought a new battery but haven't replaced it yet.
It doesn't look hard to replace (regarding to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44Y2zpbhOo)

If you're comfortable with that, sure. I'd still advise against, as even the people from ifixit couldn't open up the frame without damaging the plastic stripe

I did battery replacement once, but it's almost impossible to crack open the phone without damages on the housing no matter how careful you are. Better order the following parts before you start:
- battery
- full front and back housing + display
- omnivision camera
The result will be a brand new phone with no camera issues. Parts cost is about $100 total.

How much do you guys think htc will charge for the same?

Call the nearest HTC service center and find out. In different places charges are different.

Hello shad0wboss, try to calibrate the battery, if it doesn't work, maybe you need to ask for a replacement from where you bought.

Dude, the link doesn't look like it ships to Singapore.
is this the "fat" one that needs a new back case?
I picked one up from Amazon. Fits perfectly and I noticed a huge increase over my original battery. I went from 3-4 hours of heavy use to 6-9 hours of heavy use. Definitely worth the $12 (shipping included). I can easily go all day now with moderate use (3push email accounts, FB, Twitter, and Link'dIn all synced).

Here is the one I picked up. Nothing special, standard Anker battery.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1350mAh...VZFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322752835&sr=8-1
I have had it for about a month. Make sure the first couple of days you use it that you let it power down as much as possible. Let the battery warning come on and then charge it full again.

Hi...since you have the battery..
I wanted to ask you. Is the same size as the current/default HD7 battery ??
Meaning will I need a bigger back battery case for this ? which will result in a bulge ??
I hope you understand what I mean.
It fits with stock case. I order one thru Amazon 1350 but the one that got shipped was a 1300.
And how high is the battery life with this battery as the original battery is a 1250mAh and this being 1350 ??
Anyone with a detailed analysis...please respond !
Hello all,
I have just received my anker battery. The same one that jelliottz got. I will try it tonight and report the results soon!
can someone help me to order this?
they dont ship to singapore batteries from US

The battery fits as the stock one does. You don't need the back with "the bulge."
Mine was sold as 1350mah but the actual battery says 1300mah. Regardless, my battery life has increased. I would say on average I get about 25% longer life out of it. I usually get 5-9 hours of moderate to heavy use and 3 push emails, Facebook and Twitter use, lots of text, and an hour or so use of voice calls. I use to get 3-5 hours of use.
cool i nee dhelp. can some one help me deliver to singapore from US.
the anker manufacturer dont delivers to my country
Hello everyone, my reports on this anker battery. It is advertised on amazon as 1350mah but in fact it is only 1300mah. I have turned off every synchronization there is and also locations are turned off. Data and wifi are constantly ON. I am quite a heavy whatsapp user and I used to only be able to get about half a days usage(this was on stock mango rom). However, so far, I am able to get through a full day without charging with about 15% left at night (9am to 9pm). Not impressive but definitely a big difference.
However, I can't really tell if it is the custom ROM I am using that is causing such a big difference in battery life or just that my battery.

Hey Magpir, I'm from Singapore too and I got it delivered to me. You need to use either VPOST or Borderlinx (that's if you have a citibank credit card). Personally I have only used borderlinx and they have been pretty good. Not sure about VPOST.

Moto X for $220

I can get an unlocked Moto X from someone on craigslist. They bought it from amazon in May and are willing to provide the receipt.
I currently have a LG G2 but the battery has become defective. It happened the first time I got the phone but I chalked it up to a fluke. Then it started happening more and more as time went on, but it was infrequent. But now it's happening daily and at the point where it will lose charge nonstop during the day and if I don't touch it I'll be lucky that it will make it by the time I get home at night. There is NO wakelock, my phone sleeps very well. GSAM and Wakelock detector and BBS cannot find any reason why this is happening. I've tried numerous factory resets and have very few apps on the phone, disabling a lot of the carrier bloatware. This is definitely a hardware issue.
So I know that the Moto X+1 is going to unveiled on Sep 4 but who knows when it'll actually go on sale, or worth the new phone sticker price at this point.
So what do you guys think? Should I go ahead and get this Moto X if it's in good condition? I'm really torn at this point because my phone has become so unreliable. Sometimes I'll go to bed with it at 100% and it will drain during the night to 0 and I've missed my alarms in the morning to wake up even.
Why don't you replace the battery ? Moto X+1 should be good

I don't want to open the back and risk messing it up because I want to trade it in to AT&T to get another phone and right now the phone is in pristine condition.

These are AT&T's requirements:
1. Does the device power on and off?
Yes No
2. Is the screen intact, free of any chips or cracks, and functioning correctly? Loading
Yes No
3. Is the body of the device free of breaks or cracks in the housing, keypad, hinge, or battery cover?
Yes No
4. Is battery included?
Yes No
5. Has the Activation Lock been disabled? (e.g., Find My iPhone, kill switch)
So my phone meets all of these I think.
If you can get Moto X in exchange without spending anything then go for it. Except camera I like everything about the phone.

Yes, but how long you had it? Exchange or return is usually a limited time. After you have to deal with the manufacturer. And obviously they will only fix or exchange. Not refund or give a different phone maker.
I'd look into it anyway.
I guess the Sprint (CDMA) versions have the lowest sale/resale value. Got a mint condition X1056 off CList for $120 sometime ago. Battery life and having only 16GB built in are my only dings against the Moto X. Nice little fella.

Go to the battery thread in general and troubleshoot your battery issues. The X can have good to great battery life.... Depending on your usage, setup and signal. And if you have issues or not.
No one should be saying battery life is poor. That only means they haven't taken the time to figure out why theirs is poor. ?

Already done/tried everything and came to the conclusion that battery is poor compared to other comparable devices i've owned. Sorry, but it is what what it is. The Moto X doesn't have good battery life in my opinion. Everything else is fine, even the camera that others complain about, i have no issues with.
I have screen shots in the Battery thread... Many.... From 6 to near 8 hours screen time... Over a 24 hour total drain. Many others do too.
Perhaps it's your usage or setup.... But it's poor for you either way. But "the moto x" in general, has outstanding battery life for the size of the battery. Which is smaller than many other devices. ?
But, you say you've done all you can.... Then I'm sorry to hear it's bad for you. I'm betting I can tell you exactly why it's bad for you if you provide info and screenshots from gsam. But not here, in the Battery thread. Your choice. ?
Sorry for the off topic.
---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
It's an N5 thread... But it all applies to the X as well.... The first 4 posts in the Battery thread in my signature has a lot of great tips.
K.. No more off topic from me.
Sorry Mr. Extreme number 1 fan of the Moto X (it seems), but you're not going to convince me otherwise of my own experience. The Moto X gets bad battery life in what i have experienced. It's not the end of the world and i don't see why you're getting such a hard up on this issue. I am but one person (amongst others i know also feel the same way) who has a differing experience, let it go. It's almost as if no one can have a different opinion/experience in your world.
"...I'm betting I can tell you exactly why it's bad for you if you provide info and screenshots from gsam. But not here, in the Battery thread. Your choice..."
Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I can troubleshoot issues myself just fine and have done so for all the years i've been on Android. Just let it go and move on.

What model X? is it the XT1053, XT1058 (att), XT1058(other carrier), XT1060(verizon), etc?
Is it SIM Unlocked or bootloader unlocked? If bootloader, Ask for proof of bootloader unlock.. (screen shot of fasbootAP screen showing Unlocked Status 3).
Remember, you will have no warranty on the phone, either way. At least per Moto's documents, it says warranty is non-transferable.
Are you sure the IMEI is clean/clear? Have you checked/verified with the carrier?
If its clean/clear and bootloader unlocked, that is not a bad price. But the cost of an X might dip when the X+1 gets announced.. If that happens, its almost worth waiting and getting one that is brand new with a warranty. Unless you are planning to get a non-dev and unlock the bootloader and root (which voids the warranty anyway)

How to identify original or fake LG G2 battery

How do you buy it directly from lg?
Sorry for reviving a dead thread but I was looking for a replacement battery for the LG G2 also and had called LG to get a price. They will NOT sell the battery instead. They say you must send the device in and they will not even give an estimate over the phone, rather, they will give a price once the phone IS IN THEIR HANDS. So you're basically screwed if they decide to charge you $200 to replace the battery and the representative could not give any ball park figures at all.
Original battery must be 43gramm, fake around 33gr. In Russia Official LG service can replace originall battery for 35$ with work.
With new battery my phone now can play around 7h30m 720p video on full brightness. With old almost 4h30m. You can see difference.

No they don't. They actually don't make batteries for the G2, so any batteries you see for sale with the LG logo are either from "decommissioned" original phones which date back to 2013 or from used phones. So, in the end, you may be better off...

Design od LG BL-T7 battery has not changed ever since. Still the only one with the stepped back side. Should look like the battery on right side of these pictures, otherwise it is nor factory replacement (aka fake):

The main difference is in litle bulk under printing "BL-T7", arrows under the NOM icon and next right is noticeable differnce in T in that symbol, fonts differ and last letter of chineese behind the manufactured day,...
There is a believe that non-original batteries are not that bad at all, only they have poor wiring and connection port which often makes them behave unexpectedly.

Batteries without LG logo (unbranded or 3rd party) manufactured 2015 and on could be better than original (definitely better than unpopular fake ones) as new original batteries are from 2013/2014 (told to be "decommissioned or used" - not confirmed).
One thing I've noticed receiving my battery today is, if you look at the 4 cubes on the right with the icons, the original ones have lines at the back of the icon, where as the fake/non-genuine ones have the line in front of the icon (last icon).
In pictures from the previous post it also confirms this.

Battery life seems to be great to far 5+hrs SOT, mind you I've only had it for 2 days.
My battery came with the tools you linked but not in the battery package box, just in some electrostatic foil.
I've bought this one:
http://www.cellephone.de/en/cell-ph...y-li-polymer-for-lg-g2-replaced-bl-t7/a-4757/
I used polarcell batteries in my previous phones and have great experience with them. I didn't want to risk with mostly fake chinese batteries, so this was a safe bet. I charged it last night so i still have to fully discharge it yet. The original battery was almost 2 years old, and it started to loose its capacity. Not too much, but it was noticeable and there is the fact that I wanted to give new life to an ageing phone
The replacement went ok, with the hardest part being the removing the old battery which was glued pretty good to the base of the phone.

G2 Buying a New Battery

The G2 is over 2 years old now and still kicking for a lot of us, but the battery life has gotten pretty poor. I think a lot of us would be interested in buying a new OEM battery (seems like it is the same for all models) but there's a lot of fakes out there.
If you know where to buy an OEM battery for a reasonable price please post here, maybe with price+shipping.

Works just like new ...which means insane"this phone just won't die" battery times again
Mine almost 1.5 years-old with custom rom, battery is still enough for 1 day, sometimes even more. No big change comparing to what I got at the beginning, so I guess battery is still fine.

My apologies guys.
Kept saying I got my battery from Etradesupply however I checked my Amazon history and saw it's epartsolutions
Here's the link to the Ad
Please note the reviews are 50/50. Some good some bad. I got a good one from them that was new and shipped very fast.
I'd email them and confirm you're getting a new one that's been tested before you purchase. That way you won't have problems
hey everyone i can't manage to remove all the screws to change the battery, any tips?
(i bought a wole kit with the good screwdriver and all)
What do you guys think of this one? Makes me feel a little bit happier knowing it's a german seller, althouth it might be very possible that it says made in China!

I had the same thing happen with two G2 batteries from etradesupply on amazon. Not that they're a disreputable company; it's just that I think it really was a hardware issue that arose after year. Second G2 + that new battery worked fine.

Hey guys. I think I understand what's going on with these batteries.
It's hard to distinguish between true oem vs cheap aftermarket.
My good battery died last week and won't charge.
Now I'm also in the same boat.
Like replacement screens, we also need a good source for batteries. Wish LG sold direct

Reliable seller for OEM batteries?

I'm looking to replace the battery in my N5x. Amazon and eBay have plenty of listings for OEM batteries but many seem sketchy and I assume they're fakes. Does anyone know where we can reliably buy legit LG batteries? Are there any reputable sellers? I would consider a 3rd party manufacturer provided that it has a reputation for quality and is not just selling re-labled knock-offs.

If I were you I would try a top-rated seller on ebay for a good chance that the battery is genuine or brand new. If something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund. But this one seems just fine for me and it doesn't cost so much to take a risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...325604?hash=item4d5576b864:g:JL4AAOSwhQhY14qc Edit: I bought this item before a month to replace my battery after 2 years of use and its great!Works fine and it is genuine I can assure you about it.
With positive reviews, I guess you could give it a try.

That one is missing the logo from the original OEM battery, see here. Also, LG's font on the package is wrong. It changed way before 5X was released to a more rounded font, like on the link I wrote.

I think it's third party battery but it will work just fine I guess. I would prefer the original too. I will keep searching because sometime I will change mine too. If you finally find something that works fine, please let us know.

Months ago I was referred to this website. Please note I've no experience with them, but I was referred to them from this forum.
I ended up buying the Beltron OEM compatible on eBay. If you're not getting OEM (most "OEM" batteries sold online appear to be fake), at least get one with some sort of brand name with a reputation to protect.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQZV9ZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_BmuxUqJ485hWz
In any case I'm quite happy with the Beltron. Been using it for over a month and lifespan seems just as good as the original. Not having the problem some people have with replacements where the phone won't charge over 50%.

All "OEM" batteries online are fake... even the one from rounded.com.

Did you measure it's capacity using something like AccuBattery? I bought this one and its capacity was close to 2300mah when it had to be 2700.
All in all, I'm at a total loss where to buy a battery that doesn't suck

AccuBattery detects it as 2700mah. Performance is still as good azls OEM after 1 month.
In also bought this as a backup:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ28CMP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_KFK12zGtt9ENR
I have not tested it but I inspected the label very carefully and it looks legit.

Guaranteed its counterfeit . Suspected mine was fake and unwrapped the battery. Mine was padded with some thick paper to make it thicker. Was really 2200mah.
Google or LG need to sell replacement parts.
Thousands of phones end up in landfills because we can't replace the battery.
Did anyone find any reliable battery seller?

I bought that one and the app accubattery says that the estimated capacity is 1850mah... That's worst than my original 2 years old battery...
I don't recommend it.
I have ordered an original battery from our spare parts suppliers at work.
If I open the nexus already, because of the new 4GB Ram boards, then I exchange the ~3 years old battery with the same.
anyone can't post link with a good battery quality ? Thank's lot.
I allready buy an OEM battery on ebay, but it's bull****.
I can use my phone just 5h00 !

I bought this one and AccuBattery says it's 2700mAh, don't know if that means anything or not in terms of credibility. It looks authentic on the outside ( I noticed looked the same as the one I had when replacing it ) but I did not inspect carefully, haven't properly tested to see how long it lasts but I think it charges fully, I will test it tonight/tomorrow to tell you if it sucks or not.

edit1: The battery charged to 100% , it seems to really be 2700mAh. Testing SoT now, seeing how long it lasts while playing a youtube video at 1080p with maximum brightness.
