have first extended battery after using p990 2 years!

Over the past 2 years I 've tried a lot of things to improve its battery life, following tips in many forums, installed related apps like Juicedefender and Wake Lock Detector. My phone could easily through one day if not using it hevily, however, I considered myself a heavy user, so I basically swapped an additional battery half day and has to change a new one semiannually before it was swollen. I have a dozen of OEM battery so far, but got my first extended battery (a 5000mah one of mpj) last month. Since I am not going to upgrade a new phone untill it can not work completely, I now rely on extd. battery. It currently gives me a total screen-on time of 6-7 hours with real-world use, and last over one day even with heavy usage. No reason to retire it, right?
Now i am wodering if swapping battery frequently would damge the phone??? If so, my next phone will definitely begin with extended battery!! LOL

can you share link from where you buy the battery that give you screen-on time of 6-7 hours?
and no i dont think it will damage, just wait like 1 min after you unplug battery and then put in another battery

moderate to heavy, 5-6 hours is my best! and glad to hear that it won't cut off my p990's life...lol

Thanks. Is it same weight, dimensions as stock battery? Because no cover is shipped, so it fits in stock cover?

It adds some weight and bulk so i can't use my original cover, but they offer me a free cover fits quite well

New battery = amazing new life for my Nexus 5!

(cross posted to Nexus 5 subreddit)
So I've had my N5 since it was first available (ordered it the first day it was on Google Play). Over the last 6 months or so, I've had absolutely atrocious battery life, which I attributed to the upgrade to Android 5. Most recently, the battery life has been so bad that I could be at 98% and after 10 or 15 minutes of playing a game with GPU usage, the phone just shut down. After a reboot, the phone said my battery was at 1%. Then I'd keep the phone off, leave it for 20 or 30 minutes and when I turned it on again, it told me the battery was at 40%. Super strange.
Long story short, I decided that my battery had some real problems. So I took a chance and ordered what looked like an ok battery replacement off of Amazon (link below) as well as some tools from iFixit.com (link below) and decided I was going to try to install a new battery.
Well, it's been about a week since I did the battery replacement (link below to the YouTube video that was helpful) and my phone feels like a brand new device. I get a real, full-day use of the phone now, which for me is having it on and using maps, Gmail, texting, Chrome, Facebook, Play Music, and a few other key apps. Some games here and there. I also obviously have the phone off during the day when I don't need it. Before the battery replacement, my phone could easily be dead with a mix of screen on and off time in 2 hours or less. Now I'm getting 13-14 hours easily. Really amazing.
So I thought this was important enough to share with everyone. If you're in the same boat that I was, you might give this a shot too. Here's everything you need to do what I did:
BATTERY (ships from Chicago, NOT China! this was key!): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LD7S6YQ
iFIXIT TOOLS (if you don't already have these): https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Plastic-Opening-Tools/IF145-000-1
YOUTUBE TUTORIAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlmKLfgUtBQ
Here's some additional info about my setup that may be helpful: ROM: Cataclysm latest stable build (built off 5.1) KERNEL: Elemental X 2.11. Also using Greenify to hibernate unnecessary background apps
Feel free to ask any other questions. I'm really pleased with how things have gone with this new battery (at least for this first week, which I know is not tons of time). For the moment, it feels like I have a brand new phone!

I was just starting to look for a replacement for my N5. This one doesn't get the greatest of reviews. I've wasted $13.50 on worse though. You still recommend it?

I do! Granted, I've had this for just about a week so it's not the best assessment of long term performance but the difference between the dead stock battery I had and this new one is night and day. I can go all day with this new one. I could barely go an hour with the old one before it shut off. Worth a shot -- and to your point it's only $13.50.

Great thread!
But I think my battery still no dead, can get 3.5 hours of SOT with like near to 2 hours gaming, and it can still standby for at most whole days with such usage
Now in stock 5.1 with elementalX kernel

ONLY fresh year battery to buy
I hope for a long battery manufacturing. Unfortunately, the design of batteries is that they are prone to aging. Even if they are in a store, they begin to lose capacitance over time. It is necessary to carefully examine what year battery you want to buy

Hmm, also considering replacing my battery...
One day my phone was going haywire and I took it apart (easier than I thought) replugged the battery cord and worked fine after that.
Probably anal but right when I unplugged my phone from the charger just now it went from 100% -> 99% instantly.. dun dun dun! lol I've had my phone since December 2013 so yeah you can tell how long I've had my phone for! haha

I ordered one from etradesupply that will arrive tomorrow. I hope it has a fairly recent manufacturing date and isn't some extra stock from 2013. I know I am paying more due to shipping but buying batteries on ebay makes me so nervous about fakes and the quality. At least it looks super easy to swap out.

Coincidentally, I came to the same conclusion yesterday and ordered a new battery. It appears to be something of a minefield and you can pay between £8 and £30 for what seems to be the same battery!
In the end, I went with a mid-price battery from a reputable seller and hopefully all will be well...quite excited for it to arrive

My new battery just arrived today! I'll get it fitted and update with how it is. I've got some screens of battery life at the moment. Hopefully it improves

My etradesupply battery arrived yesterday. It looks exactly like the stock battery and shipped from Texas. Manufacture date is September of 2014... Can't remember the exact date but it for sure september of 2014 which is older than I'd like but we'll see. It was at 47% charge which is about what it should be for storage.
I haven't had a chance to do a full cycle yet. I just charged it to 100% once so far. My screen on time is 2 hours 15 minutes with 34% battery left. I don't do anything special to conserve battery and use automatic brightness set to 50% or whatever stock is. That's a mix of games and browsing.
I am not sure if a new battery has to go through a full cycle to get calibrated or anything like that. I've read laptops should be drained completely once in awhile (not often) to recalibrate something with how the battery life is measured. I feel battery life is better than the battery it replaced so far which is what matters to me. If I can get 3+ hours SOT consistently I'll be happy. I was getting down to around 2 hours SOT on my old battery.

I've been contemplating getting a new battery for a while. I have a launch week device so my battery is sitting around 18 months old. I'm not getting terrible battery life but it's not as good as it was either. My usage patterns have changed since then and I also keep a lot of apps installed and have everything turned on as opposed to when I first had the device I had a script remove most everything from the phone and kept most things turned off. I'd say an average work day I'll see 2-2 1/2 hours screen on time with about 1 1/2-2hours bluetooth music playback. I'm looking for a charger around 6pm when I get home.

i see you're in the US so not sure if I'll be of much help. I ordered off ebay, just checked to make sure there was plenty of feedback for the battery. Just using up the battery of my current one so will change tonight and hopefully update tomorrow!

Good to hear OP! I always look forma back up bstteryied con amsozn

Just my luck. I get the one battery that doesn't charge ? have to wait on a replacement now

Every one knows batteries need to empty and fill a good few times to reach peak holding. I replaced mine with a genuine OEM, from Amazon, and it took a good few days then it made a huge difference longevity. Never buy cheap batteries. They are fake and can't be told from the real thing until you use it AND findout. Go by the reviews and who is selling

Battery Replacement in India
Where can I get the battery in India. My battery too draining like hell..
Can anyone suggest where I can get battery in India.. Online website is fine

I have my old battery replace at the official LG service center here in Manila and all i can say is that my 5's battery life is just like brand new. After a year with the old battery, sot max is just 1.5 hours, after the replacement, 4.5 hours.

Worried about Mi 5 battery life

I ordered this device yesterday but I worried about battery life, in reviews spoken the battery life was bad.
I dont have the device yet.
In the future the battery life was improvement on system updates?

I have to say I find the battery life to be outstanding if you are using the chinese rom. If using the global one it is really poor. There is another thread on here about battery life. Have a look at that

How much SOT on chinese rom?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/discussion-xiami-mi-5-battery-life-t3338693

I look that but I Asks you.
Chinese rom was better than global on performance and camera?

In my opinion the chiense rom is much better although there are obviously some chinese apps there too

I'm reviewing the phone at the moment, my results on GeekBench 06:30:30 for runtime and a score of 3905 with the screen on maximum brightness. I've used the phone with dual-SIM and single-SIM and not struggled with it at all. MIUI 6.3.31 and it's the 64/3GB model. Hope that's of some help!

Battery life is usually good. SOT around 5 hrs for me and I usually play games.
However stand by is really odd one both the roms. Sometimes overnight it consumes 1%-3% sometime s 20%-25%, I still can't figure out why.

25% in night?? why?

Never seen that with mine. While at work during the day I only use it for the odd call and some texts along with a small amount of browsing. With the chinese rom I would have 85% charge left when I get home but with the global rom doing the same I would have about 65% left so clearly it wasnt going to sleep properly. Maybe thats what you are seeing

No, I haven't updated my signature from so long.
I have used nexus 5, galaxy s6(lost), lg g4 and oneplus 2 after Lg g2. For me galaxy s6 was the best device I have ever used.
Mi5 has a mediocre camera nothing exceptional about it xiaomi is creating hype about 4-axis and things however in reality it can't capture full hd video smoothly.
For sure Mi5 has better sound and battery and chipset but software wise I think any other phone out is better than this MIUI crap.
and believe me MIUI can never get fixed until and unless they changed their framework completely. As of now MIUI 7 is based on MM but it doesn't have a single feature of MM so what is the use of such OS. MIUI is for users who just want to keep applying themes and do nothing else.
I am never going to buy xiaomi again.
Hoping I get my hands on an AOSP or CM ROM soon or else I have to sell this ****.

I really don't know what is wrong but I experience the same on both the ROM's, yesterday I got 7.2.12 and after that it consumed only 3 % overnight even with alarm on.
Also, I have one more strange bug whenever I start playing coc my wifi gets disconnected and it gets disconnected randomly too, are you facing any such thing like this.

You have the wakelock qpnp_fg_memaccess that is draining battery. Check with wackelock detector..
Same happened to me one night from 40% to 6% in 6 hours..
This happened because Qualcomm introduced a new feature called Fuel Gauge that is managing the battery and is not working really like it should..

Strange.. I used my phone heavily(not gaming of course) and hardly to hit 70% in 8 hours during day time.

So what does one do about it? its my first day on mi5, i cant say that battery is bad.. its almost same as on a Sony Z5P.

My Mi5 is doing great on the battery... I use it at work i use it at home... during the night it drain around 5% max. Normally i can say it can last 1,5 days...
Using China Stable 7.3.3 With some battery usage tweaks..

Using CM13 I go all day without recharging from 7am to 7pm

Same here on CM 13 battery is good, lasting 2 days.

MI5 is one of the crazy device ever! Once you receive the phone you will be keep busy with experiment. Some people will tell battery life is outstanding and some like me will say battery life is poor.
My impression about MI5 is, usually after buying a phone we try to use it hassle free. But MI5 will create lots of confusion and make you trend to experiment lots of things until you get the perfection.
Currently the global ROM is most worst ever ROM and it will make you frustrated. Some people will tell China ROM is better but eventually until unless you are Chinese, you will never like chinese things!
Just now flashed CM13 and looks impressive!

The way you charge helps with endurance as well
Try getting into the habit of not letting your battery level drop below 15%. Charge it from there to 100%. Was a big item on xda some months ago about expanding the quality of a modern smartphones battery.

Note 9 - Worth Doing A Battery Replacement?

Hi There,
I've had my Note 9 since December 2018 and it has treated me very well. Still does all that I need to do, as fast as I need to do it.
One small problem - the battery life is fully shot. Having to charge multiple times a day. I tried a while back to see if Samsung would do this for me, but they suggested that I wouldn't get much of an improvement in battery life due to software updates etc. I assumed this was sales bs but have found mates to have battery replacements to make a difference.
Therefore - is it worth doing a battery replacement on this device? I get about 5 hours I think at the moment. I would be interested in your experience. Just to add, I've smashed the bank panel pretty badly (everything still works) so probably would want to replace this as well (as they are a fiver on ebay - again purely cosmetic).
Thoughts?

I did it 1 month ago. It's now waiting for the 3rd battery, been for 1 week in the shop. All the new ones ware manufactured in winter 2018 and were weaker than the 2900 mAh left in mine after 3 years, so no.

Fair aha thank you !

By the way, just got the new replacement. It's much better at 3600 mAh after one charge, and I could get around 6 hours of Revanced yesterday with 25% still left.

Interesting - and you have had success with it?

I'm just sitting here googling this very subject. My battery is still pretty good in normal usage, but struggled to get through a full day in a recent hospital stay (when, admittedly, I was using the phone much more than normal). Torn between a battery replacement, S23 Ultra in a few months, or stick it out for another year and hold out for the S24 Ultra. Note 9 is still perfect in every sense (I have the 512Gb version), it's just the battery life is starting to weaken. If, as you say, the genuine replacements are manufactured in 2018, I might just go for the third option and hold out for the S24.

I use AccuBattery for a long time. It estimates my 3 years old Note 9 battery is 74%. I go to service center and change battery. Now it's 100% after a few full charge. I feel significant improvement in battery usage, maybe 1-1.5 hours more on-screen time with same softwares, same usage.

Rapid change in battery life

Hello, I've had my p30 pro for almost 4 years and the battery life has obviously degraded over time, but as of 3 days ago it only lasts about 4 to 5 hours. Nothing has changed on my phone, and it easily lasted a full day before this.
I'm going to get a new battery out in as I think that's probably the issue, but thought I'd post here to see if it could be something else as it happened all of a sudden which I find odd.
Thanks

Phone battery doesn't last longer. It will degraded as it gets older. Change the battery it might be good to go.

Ya 98% sure that's it, I'm going to bring it in tomorrow for a new battery, just weird that it went form lasting around 12 hours to pretty much 4 overnight. I've never had a battery degrade so rapidly before. Would just suck to spend $100 that could go towards a new phone on a battery if that's not it.

Maybe try to do hard reset, and try using it for time being. If the issue still persist, changing the battery it's the only option

That's actually a great idea, didn't even think about that.
Thanks for the help.
