So LG just announced today that their new phone LG G5 will come with a removable battery. I feel like a removable battery has only benefits when it comes to repair. I was wondering if this is a selling point for those of you that often take apart your phones. Have you ever found yourself replacing a battery on a phone with a non-removable battery?
Of course there is the obvious benefit of being able to carry two batteries and swap them when one dies. This is a concept that they are pushing pretty hard and I can kind of see how that might be handy.
But the questions is- for those of us that often disassemble our phones, will this be deciding factor? Aside from the battery, the phone looks like it will be a nightmare to take apart. What are your thoughts?

Does it look the same as the original one? I saw a picture somewhere of a very different looking cover for the 3500mah battery.
I just got my replacement, and it fits better, but looks identical to the original one I had.
Edit: The Mugen cover looks so much better...

My father in law had a massive stroke and we had to travel to Miami and spend weeks in the hospital. (he is ok now and recovery more and more everyday) I was so blessed that I picked up a RAVPower brick before I left. This thing was awesome, even though I had to travel all around if I needed any extra juice for my phone, tablet or wife's phone I just plugged it in and kept going. This thing last a while and more than doubled my battery life. On top of being a wonderful power backup it has a bright flash light on it. The materials are made out of metal so it feels secure. This thing is worth a lot more than it costs. It doesn't hurt to pick one up to have on stand by. I can't recommend it enough!

You can pick one up here
Let me know if you have any questions
I bought my BW8X extended battery on the very day I got the phone. So it's almost 3 years old, i guess. And it's bad. REALLY bad. Charging is all over the place. It charges to 60%, then suddenly jumps to 100% a minute or two later. Or it will drop from 40% to 4% in matter of minutes.
And how do I really know it's time to replace it? It's actually very simple. Take it out and run your finger across the top of it.
If you feel one or two bulges, the battery's toast. It has accumulated so much gas and heat inside from previous abuse the battery is ruined.
In extreme cases, it'll look like this:

A good battery would be completely FLAT. On both sides.
And yes, this is a genuine Motorola battery.
Obviously this trick is not 100% accurate, but it should be an easy way to spot a worn out battery.
Can't charge phone using USB charging....phone bricked. Need to charge battery to get into download mode. Can I use a jumper, cutting off micro USB end and putting the stripped wires on the terminals, of battery? If so, are the positive and negative the 1st and third terminals on battery, going left to right? Decal is a little off on my battery, hard to tell if the negative is the third or fourth terminal. Used this process before on an Atrix2, wasn't sure if this would work on this phone.
Thanx.
Easiest way is to use an external case, similar to this
consider also Anker external cases and there are many others

I am looking for a QI receiver that works decently well.
I have the generic one now, with a circle, it seems most of the sellers have something very similar.
Looking to see if anyone has been able to find a better one as this one has these issues:
it is a bit thick, definitely not the 0.16mm some listings are claiming, it probably exceeds 1mm in some places
it makes an audible noise, like tick-tick, this is the most annoying part
it doesn't charge too fast, sometimes not at all
sometimes gets hot, making the entire phone hot
the "cord" is a bit longer than needed
the plug sticks out the bottom by a bit more than the actual case
I saw there's one from Nilkin available, I will order it in order to test it, but I expect it to have the same issues. At least it solves one, as it has a "short" version as well.
How did you go with the other receiver?
