Hello everyone. I have recently bought new battery for my nexus 6 (Akku powercell).
After swapping battery to the new one phone doesn't want to power up (plugging in charger shows full battery icon and restarts. Additionally under charger I can access bootloader but the phone wont start/enter recovery - each try ends up in the charged battery icon loop).
Replacing the battery back with old one and everything works fine and dandy.
I've checked the new battery with a multimeter and it shows ~3,7V so should be charged enough to boot. Maybe anyone has an idea what could be the problem? Is it something related to me not getting new wireless charging coil along with new battery?
Should I try and misplace the wireless coil connection to motherboard on purpose (I'm not really using it anyway so not a big deal)?
Any help will be appreciated.

In case you used the standard quick charger....Use a different charger to charge the new battery for at least one hour. Maybe the new battery is not compatible with the N6 charger
In the LG Nexus 5 there is also an equal detail and the problem is that the center line of the battery is responsible for measuring the temperature of the battery and not making good contact with the motherboard the cell is immediately turned off to avoid damage , I would recommend that you check the centerline of the new battery

Its more like the phone doesn't see the battery. I can unplug its connection on the motherboard, plug in charger and have the exact same result like with it plugged in. Old battery works just fine, altough I can feel its age (accubattery shows around 75%).

Hmmm, could You maybe point me to the specific thread? I can't quite the understand what do You mean with the middle line.
And what country do You live in that You can't get a nexus 6 battery if I might ask? You could always order from china, or try searching for an ez30 battery - might pop up few local (country-wise) shops who might still have them.
I'm not saying it's your specific case but it could have something to do

I live in Ecuador and for the ridiculous tariffs and delays of the customs of this country it is a martyrdom to import that is why I can not easily get the battery of my Nexus 6 since mine is failing since 30% goes out
---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
In short the batteries of all the cell phones bring a temperature sensor, some batteries bring 3 contacts as in Nexus 5 that one is +, the other is GND or Negative and the middle line is from the temperature sensor of the battery, now in the Nexus 6 is 4 only that the additional line is sensor but separate, if the battery is placed and the cell phone does not read a temperature it automatically turns off to avoid equipment damage

Ah this way. Now I get it, thabks for the link too! And sorry to hear that : /, If You can manage to fit the other battery (is connector the same?) then the only hurdle might be the battery frame and putting backcover back on, but a decent case might accomodate for the backcover.
What I would recommend is that if you have voltage in the battery according to what I read before then the battery circuit if it would be worth, then with a needle try to close the pins or contacts of your new battery

Well, You are MVP dude , someone in that nexus 5thread mentioned trying to put something between case and battery connector, I cut a piece of business card, folded it in half, put it over the battery connector and a little under the frame and to my surprise, phone booted up! I can't say how grateful I am to You ! Picture attached for reference .
EDIT: Blacked out IMEI
It's nice to know that you solved your problem

Friend what I would recommend is that the image you uploaded reference you delete or hide the imei numbering, sounds paranoid but it is not too much to prevent

Hi! I'm looking for a charger with auto turn off with 2 AMPs. I'm in USA so links to local shops or smth like amazon are welcome
Similar to this one, but 2 AMPs NOT 1: http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/public/en/bussmann/consumer/products/chargesmart.html
I want to use it with my battery charger: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
Because with that thing you can leave your battery to charge for the whole night & not worry that you miss the moment when you should unplug it. It charges exactly as much as needed & doesn't damage your battery!
I wonder why all vendors don't make charges like this one. Maybe to sell more batteries?
Just an FYI but all phones stop charging when the battery gets full.
Also it only costs about $1 per year in electricity to keep charging your phone.
Just use the original charger for the Note2.
At least the european version of the charger delivers 2amps and
when the Phone is full or nothing is connected to it the consumption is so deep that i couldnt measure it.
why not you using your note 2 original charger & cable ?
it sure deliver full 2 Amp and able to cut off power when battery is full
I'm pretty sure what the OP meant is they want an auto-off charger to be used with the battery dock charger. Sure, the phone has an internal controller that stops charging when the battery is full, but I think the OP wants the auto-off feature with charging the battery as well. I'm not completely sure, but I believe there should be a charge controller inside that Samsung dock. If you're up to the challenge, you can take apart your battery charger and see for yourself. Any kind of circuit between the charger and the battery should be the voltage/current regulator, and quite possibly the charge controller.

1) The phone looses 2-3% overnight. So when it charged to 100% & then looses 1% it starts to charge again. I think it's called "trickle charges" & I was worried if it could reduce the battery's ability to charge to true 100% in the long term.
But I read several articles about it & looks like with today's batteries this is almost not a problem & you can leave your phone to charge overnight.
2) I know that exposure to heat is the worst thing fir litium batteries, but several articles confirmed that there's no such a problem with today's phones & batteries.
& it was not about electricity bill anyway )
& yes I do use both original Samsung charger (travel one with 2 amps) & Samsung docking station to which I posted the link in my first post.
Thank you guys!

The problem with lithium ion batteries in our phones is that it has a shelf life rated at 2 years. By the time you were able to wear your battery down through it's rated cycles, it would be time to get a new one anyways. I would suggest to buy a new battery in a year or so which should last the life of your phone if you don't sell it or upgrade.
If you find what you want, awesome. I see it as unneeded waste to buy something like that if integrity of the battery is an issue. Each battery has an IC chip that controls everything needed to operate at its' maximum. Any gains in battery life would be negligible due to its' shelf life. Sorry :/

Hi forumers!
So i just bought the Note 4, and received it yesterday.
I tried charging it this morning when it was at about 57%
it was plugged in for almost an hr and only charged 5%...
whatever happened to fast charge?
I was using the charger that came with the phone, it's not like i was using an extension cord...
So I've tried putting it on regular power saving mode, still nothing.
i checked the settings and fast charging was disabled completely...
Now that i'm at work (no charger) .. it's enabled again
I also didn't think the phone was overheating..
Does anyone know what's going on with that ???
all helps are appreciated !
Thanks guys!
make sure when u charging in setting battery part and its plugged in make sure it doesnt say charging usb it has to say ac charging if not its registering as a usb maybe u have a faulty charger
You got something else going on. Send phone back for replacement

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Hello,
First - sorry for my bad English!
These days I bought used ONE m7.Previous owner told me that the phone was not used for more than a month. Now sometimes, only sometimes, when take a shot with flash the phone shut down. After power ON the battery is with more than 10% lower than before this. Hard reset not solved the problem. Is there a hard- or soft- problem?
Sounds like a failing battery. You can replace it, but it is not easy nor recommended for a beginner. Take it to a reputable repair shop. Expect to buy a full front housing with digitizer and gorilla glass, as well as a rear housing, in addition to the battery. Even for a pro, it is difficult not to damage the housing when getting the phone open.
---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
You may also try a factory reset to see if it is a problem with the particular ROM you are using, but my experience is that large drops like that signal the beginning of the end of the battery. Even lithium ion batteries have a finite lifespan. The lack of an easily interchangeable battery actually played a large role in my purchase decision when it came time to get a new phone recently. Ended up going with the Note 4 even though I am so excited about the m9. You could purchase a Mobie juice pack to get by in situations where your battery drains like that, but all the Mobie packs I ever bought ended up breaking. Apparently the placement of the microusb slot is less than ideal when it comes to a drop while charging. It lands right on the slot and messes it up good.

That sounds so logical and probably this is the truth, but the phone is only on 9 months in use. Is it normal to failure the battery for couple of months?
Maybe after 2 or 3 full charge-discharge cycles the battery will work better?
And it have 2y warranty. Maybe HTC will repair it?
Definitely worth a try to charge and discharge fully, but don't make it a habit or it will further ruin battery. I'd say one full charge/discharge should do it. Otherwise try not to let it fall below 20 percent. As for would it do this after 9 months. I can say for certain that mine did. But it all depends on how heavily it was used and how many times total it was charges and discharged. Most lion batteries can be fully recharged 300 times. If the person who had it before you was a heavy user and let it die everytime before plugging it up, it definitely could kill the battery in a really short time.

Is it fake or somebody tried? What do you think?
interested to know that too
Fake. I've said it once. I'll say it again. If an OEM Company could put that much more battery into the same space, they would have and claimed it to have 4000+ mah, and 2-3 days battery life (I don't know...). But this COULD be 4,000 rated, and then actually only have 3,050 inside.
Could it be true? Sure. I'm no physicist or chemist to engineer these things! Is it probably true? In my opinion, no. But, please! By all means, try it and let us know .

Yes there is.
Get one of these.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charger...-Voltage-Detector-Tester-Meter-/181860124172?
Plug that into your charger and the USB cable from it to the phone, let the battery charge from dead to 100%.
It will show you the time took to charge as well as the voltage your charger was putting out...
Most importantly it will show you the total mAh of the battery you charged with it.

I got this one, it comes with a metal box with foam/sponge cut out for the drok multimeter.
but i think the model of Drok in your link is also good.
so anyone pulled the trigger on it?
I've ordered one. When I'll get it, I'll write my opinion.
Ordered one as well for only $20 its worth the risk

Yea we all know about the zerolemon packs, which are all significantly larger. This thread is about stock sized batteries that fit in the phone with the original back, but are advertised as having a higher than stock capacity.
It is possible because the Motorola Droid Turbo does have a 3900mAh battery which is almost the same size.
I highly doubt this battery will even reach the default 3000mAh in the stock battery. Do not waste your time buying this garbage and a meter.
Hi, friends Sorry for my English. After almost 2 years my battery life on these amazing device is around 2.5/3 SOT on lightly using, so I was wondering do you guys think that will be possible to put a EQ40 battery(3900Mah) from Droid Turbo XT1254 in Nexus 6. Droid Turbo Battery dimension: 104.47 x 60.47 x 4.33 mm and Nexus 6 has battery dimension: 106.26 x 71.41 x 3.05 mm. Yes is a little bit thicker but I believe that is I remove the wireless charging coil it will be possible. Only tricky part is that ribbon cable was a little bit different position so has to be flexed or ribbon cable needs bo be replaced whit original Nexus 6 battery.
Thank in advance for everything whit some ideas and suggestions and have a nice day.
Not to mention how cumbersome that would be, even if you manage to put it in, that's just 600 Mah extra. Give Naptime a shot. Or why not buy yourself a power bank than taking a risk of bulging up the device (and mess with its basic water resistance)

After replacing the nexus 6 battery myself (with an aftermarket battery since I got tired of ebay batteries being doa) I can tell you that it will fit, you mighy have to cut the plastic frame panel on top of the battery which will result in an additional 2 to 3 mm of space ^^

I broke it LOL
There's a black flex cable going to the other side of the battery so it can connect to the motherboard... I ended up breaking it
Anyway the phone still works even when that cable is broken, it just won't wireless charge. Keep in mind the coil component also contains the nfc antenna which is connected with another wire, which I didn't break and still works.
Video about the coil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYuxoMBCyP0
I ended up buying a new coil: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...32331420943.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.4df1Zr
Should be easy to replace like most parts ^^
This phone is the best I've had up till now, parts are easy to replace and as long it's not a broken screen it's not that expensive (new mobo is just $50).

How has this aftermarket battery been treating you? If it's good, do you have a link? I've had my device for a little over two years and while it's not terrible, its capacity is not where it used to be.

It's been great, it made me realize how much battery live I've lost before. Waking up the next morning and only seeing less then 10% being used overnight makes my day
It's an european brand probably reseller of a chinese brand. It has the same type number as the original oem battery. So I think it's just a reseller of batteries from the same factory motorola buys them ^^
And since they're directly resold they're new batteries instead of refurbished ebay crap.
Sadly enough I can only find links in the Netherlands and Belgium which don't ship worldwide :/

This is interesting!
How you are going to connect it? It will be fun to have any SPI/i2c interface populated anywhere on the board.
BTW I love Nexus 6 motherboard. All major components are on the one side and there is no compound used to glue chips. Makes any soldering work much easier.

Wasn't planning on soldering, the prototype nexus 6 had a fingerprint sensor connector connected to the buttons ribbon cable, gonna see if I can modify the ribbon cable like the prototype. It would be easier if the prototype parts were on eBay lol.
P.S
Last thing I soldered broke...
Droid turbo battery (EQ40) and nexus 6's battery (EZ30) connector is the same. I have received the droid turbo battery and it works with the nexus 6. However the frame needs to be modified to make the battery fit because the cable isn't long enough in height. I will try to cut down the frame
I am extremely excited to report that with some cutting away of plastic that I was able to fit the battery with the frame closed. However the plastic back cannot conform perfectly over the back anymore so I am not using the back cover.
I have the phone inside a plastic case. Also wireless charging is working and even with the coil removed the back cover cannot fit anyway so I might as well keep wireless charging.
Also I needed to bend the metal pieces on the frame that contact the speakers upwards so the bottom speaker can continue working with the increased height.
Battery life increase i cannot comment yet but I hope the extra 700mAh does some good
Does anyone know a reputable brand of battery for n6 or have a link to a reasonable replacement battery that isn't used? I know eBay and Amazon have them just don't want to have to do this again in a month because I bought a crap battery or it causes a fire. Any info will be much appreciated.
My n6 is starting to die at earlier percentages daily so I believe it will die soon. I need to buy a battery BEFORE total failure occurs lol!
Thanks in advance

Same exqct position as you brother, minus the money to buy a new battery lol
I'm posting to give feedback on using the 3900 mAh battery from the droid turbo. I now get the same battery life as the Google pixel XL that I have with 4-5hours screen on time over 2 days with excellent low battery drain idling. 8 hours idle lose 2-3%.

How difficult was it, any issues with process and any issues or size problems with not using the case? I want to try this but I have very shaky hands and am afraid to do this. I'm curious how difficult it is. I'm also very poor so I wanna make sure if I buy a different battery it'll be compatible. Thanks for reporting back to us

I know, I read - I'm curious after having it connected a bit if he's noticed anything odd, though. I wouldn't imagine the issue would be connecting, but wonky behavior after doing so.

You need to be good with a blade to cut the plastic away other than that there is not much else to it. Note you will not be able to use the back cover so you'd likely want to use a case. If battery life is the only thing you care about this mod is very worth it and will greatly increase the battery life of your phone.
