Look into Anker batteries. I bought one for my S3 and it's still going strong.

Also, I hear battery savers cause more trouble than they save, but I'm not qualified to speak on that so maybe research it a bit.

I'm still using a Galaxy S4 and about to get my Galaxy S8+

I've had fantastic experiences with Samsung. You see a lot of Touchwiz jokes but I don't understand them, I've never had an issue with it.

I bought a 6,000 mAh battery pack for my S4 about a year ago for like 30 bucks and it's obscenely nice having a phone that will last more than day on a charge.

Then I think you're leaning the right way. The GS4 lasts all day with moderate use from most reviews I've read. The SD card slot is a must for stock 16GB version, but I don't know how much the GE OS will take up on the hard drive.
If you're looking for expanded batteries, then I'd suggest these that were recommended by /u/moar_distractions:

• Zerolemon 7500mAh battery ($40)
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXZI3DQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Slightly more manageable 5200mAh ($25)
  http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Extended-Compatible-Warranty/dp/B00BCK2G40/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371040849&sr=1-6&keywords=galaxy+s4+battery
  
• A case for the Hyperion 5200 battery that looks pretty sick http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Extended-HoneyComb-Packaging/dp/B00CXO09DY/ref=pd_sim_e_2
  
• Set of two standard size, supports NFC and Wallet, comes with a charger, looks promising to me ($25) http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Batteries-Compatible-Warranty/dp/B00BCJWYMU/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371040849&sr=1-8&keywords=galaxy+s4+battery
  
• 1 Hyperion standard size, with docking cradle that charges the extra battery (what sized cases fit?) ($30) http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Charging-Includes-Compatible-Warranty/dp/B00CP8EK1U/ref=pd_sim_e_3

I can't speak on the long term life or reliability, but for about a week I've been rocking the 4100mah li-po battery from perfine ($17). Accubattery is showing at least 4100mah on each full cycle charge. I know the Qoo10 one was one of the first and "legit" li-po ones to come out, but perfine might be a cheaper and easier-to-buy alternative. Meanwhile, Shenmz also makes the 4200mah li-po battery ($19) which i think other users here are reporting pretty positive feedback on.

I purchased this one after I had a repair company replace my original with a really poor performing battery (was down to 55% capacity after a month). The Cameron Sino one has worked fantastic for me so far. it's at an estimated 3456 mAh capacity after 87 charges. Installed it at the end of April.

Also, make sure when you install your replacement battery that the temperature monitor is functioning properly. The repair company replacement battery didn't have a functioning temperature sensor (Always read 77F) and the phone wouldn't limit it's charging current when the battery got hot, so I think they may have contributed some to an early failure.

I use these, they work great.

Good news you could hotswap the batteries out every 30 minutes! Or get one of these bricks with 6000mAh and use it for a reasonable amount of time.

Replacing my battery next week.


What replacement battery did you get? I saw so many posts about fake "genuine" 6P batteries I just went with a Cameron Sino one from [Amazon](Cameron Sino 3450mAh / 13.11Wh Replacement Battery for Google Nexus 6P A1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KV4OIDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TvelzbF3RRDYH). I figured that at least they were not trying to sell me a "genuine" one.


I will post how it went and my results when it comes in.

I got my wife the 3800 Hyperion battery and a case. It's slightly bigger, but she really likes it (with the case).

She typically would come home from work with about 2% battery. Now she gets home with about 62% with normal use.

idk what is going on with your phone but i bought this and i find it helps me get past the low battery life

I just installed a battery purchased from eBay that looks like the one you linked to. It took me from 60% capacity to 106%, as reported by Accubattery.

But I have had two complete phone shutdowns since the replacement, where the phone turns off and I can't power it on without plugging it into a charger. Very strange. And further research on XDA Forums indicates this isn't an OEM battery and lacks a temperature sensor...though it's not clear if that causes problems.

People have reported that the Cameron Sino battery for the 6P works well and has a temperature sensor. It's available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KV4OIDE/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have one on order and will be replacing my eBay battery with it.

All that being said, it sounds like many people are doing fine with the eBay batteries, so definitely take that into account.

These are really good batterys that I have http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010P2BQ2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1447185434&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=lg+g4+replacement+battery&dpPl=1&dpID=41tleyKlPQL&ref=plSrch

Here you go

Don't get a battery case. Get an extended battery and a replacement cover. They are thinner, cheaper, with more capacity for the size.

I personally reccomend the second link, I had it and loved it, it was just too thick for me. I didn't need the extra battery

3rd party extended battery. I have one myself for the S4 (though not exactly this model) and it works really well. Just turns your phone into a small brick that's easy to hold.

I've been loving my Yishda batteries. I've been using a single one pretty heavily since I got it, and have even charge it externally many times. I've never gotten the non-OEM battery warning, and the capacity is still as good or better than my original battery. I easily get a full day of reasonably heavy use, at around 75% brightness.

I bought this bundle for something like $27, it's a great price IMO since it comes with two batteries and the external charger.

One of the most cost effective ways is just to grab one of these Q10 battery bundles. It's a bit of a hassle to just swap out the battery when one is depleted but it's sure is cheaper than a new phone.

Yup- the Gnex has awful battery life. But, if ya don't mind doubling the weight of the phone, it can last all day. I got THIS one. Verizon only, though.

https://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-ToughJuice-30000mAh-External-Portable/dp/B01CZR3LT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485360415&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=USB-C+External+battery&psc=1&smid=A1B2PPECCX80JI

Instead of getting awful fake batteries, Anker has their own "custom" battery with 100 mAH extra for 10$ here.

I am a big find of the LMGTFY, but it didn't work there.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Verizon-Extended-Compatible-SCH-i515/dp/B007C8XRJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331243326&sr=8-1
They jacked the price up $5, but it's still a good deal.

Q10. It's been a while, but I think the double typing was mostly solved via a software update. (I'd have to dig through old forums but I remember experiencing it for a while and a build basically fixed it.)
Wear on the USB connector isn't a big deal if you buy the battery pack charger (https://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Extra-Battery-Charger-Bundle/dp/B00BR1QHUS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498092351&sr=8-3&keywords=battery+blackberry+q10) . You can always swap the battery in. While many android apps will have poor compatibility by todays standard, you should be able to get some social apps working.

Update:

I ended up buying the YISHDA Battery off amazon (as recommended bu u/PoetmasterGrunthos) and just finished installing it following this Ifixit guide. Currently the phone says it's fast charging with 1 hr 40 min until full.

I did not buy or need replacement back parts and used a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive. I was very liberal with the hair dryers use around the back glass and continued applying heat while slowly pulling it off. When re-applying the bottom plastic cover due to the way my phone is dented a little I put curved edges in first and then pressed the center down to get everything to fit.I managed to bend back the other small (but noticeable to me) dent near the volume button's with a combination of pressing down on it and gentle hammering.

I would have included pictures however the 6P is my camera. Overall I can't say it feels like a new phone yet, however it certainly seems like it's charging to it's full capacity. I will update again sometime in the future with longer term results of this battery's life, but for the moment I am happy and can say the procedure is not too difficult.

This one does for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZR3LT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aNnlzb9P5CW1N

Been using this combo since the S4 was released..

Yes. Both the BCK-5200 Battery Charging Cradle (Charging via USB-C) and any given 2x Battery and Wall Cradle will work. I have both and I find both very useful. I have the White cradle mounted to the wall near my bed with a command strip, and I can just come home from work, pull the battery out and put the new one in. I use the wall cradle at work to charge a battery and my Sony WI-1000x headphones, becuase the wall cradle does actually have an additional USB port on the side. I find that charging the battery and something via the USB does take longer on both, so keep that in mind. I'd try and find a BCK-5200 on Ebay or Swappa or something and get that, and grab a wall cradle. You can put the wall cradle in your backpack or pocket on the way out the door and basically always have full battery, it's really nice. The same can be said for the BCK-5200 though - I occasionally would use it in the car to charge my second battery as well, or use a portable power bank. It's slimmer and nicer looking, and I could be mistaken but IIRC also support QC3.0 + PD, so it'll charge faster. /u/JeromeZilcher will be able to confirm that.

This 2 battery and wall charger package by Trend on has gotten good reviews.


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010P2BQ2S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=AYUZZIR8VHSB1


Also I've been using the stock charger/phone for about half a month, but I've already noticed that the charger metal end has some noticeable bend to it.

Here's the toolkit I bought for 3.75CAD. The only thing this doesn't have is the razor blade or hobby knife.
I mangled the rear plastic strip both times I took it apart, the first time I had an entire frame assembly (with glass and plastic) so it was no problem.
Frame assembly note these do not come with NFC antenna - you will need to transfer yours from your existing frame. They are all very nice quality and you can choose from pretty much any of them.


Now for the batteries..... this is the one I originally put int, although it is not a real OEM (the temp sensor is not real it just reads 24-25c all the time) it had awesome battery life but after a few weeks one day I was taking a photo and it just instantly black screened and would not respond in any way (I thought I just totally fucked the phone!) until I plugged it in, when it indicated charging I turned it on and it resumed normal operation at the same battery level it originally died at.
I did some further testing and it seems like every time you take one or more HDR+ photos the battery could not sustain the required voltage and it would just kill the phone completely. Several other users in this forum confirmed they had the same issue with this battery and with the actual OEM battery.

So OK, time for a new battery. I had this one laying around that I purchased earlier but decided not to use upon seeing how sketchy it looked. This also gave me a chance to move the NFC antenna that I forgot about the first time.
This battery has absolutely shit life. It started off with 3000mah (88% on accubattery) right from the package. It does not shut down like the old battery but it definitely has a low battery life.


That brings me to my only real regret - cheaping out on these batteries. I have seen lots of mention about the Cameron Sino battery and people in this sub and other forums have had very good experiences with this one so I ordered one and am just waiting for it to arrive to do my (hopefully) final disassembly of this phone.

Zero Lemon. It has a USB C connector AND holds a solid charge. It's heavy, can use only this to charge your phone for 2 solid weeks. But my God I wouldn't trade it for any other power bank.

I can think of times this would be helpful, long road trips where everyone might be fighting over one charger, long flights, camping. I just can't see myself having it permanently on my phone. Here are some other options I found quick on Amazon just in case people are interested. For me personally, I think I'm going to get a 2 pack of standard batteries that come with their own external charger. I can keep those in my backpack (or one in my pocket) and between the regular one and backup I can't see myself needing more.

  Does anyone have any experience with these Hyperion brands? They all come with an 18 month warranty which sounds pretty sweet.

You'll love the Q10. I have a Z10 but used a Q10 for a month or so while my Z10 was being repaired/replaced.

To your questions:

1. 1GB should suffice for the browsing you are doing. I purchased the Data Usage Counter to monitor all my communication services. It is excellent and the DEV is in BETA on a wicked release. Well worth purchasing.
   

• Attachments do not automatically download unless you configure your device to do so.
  

2. Heat is not an issue I experienced, nor heard from other users. Don't worry about it.
   
3. You should get at least a full day of use with a Q10. I recently purchased an extra battery/charger bundle from Amazon for my Z10 and couldn't be more pleased. Spare battery or recharge from the bundle.
   
4. I've never had a problem with any BlackBerry I've owned as they are very durable. Do yourself a favour though, get a holster.
   
   Although I loved the keyboard on the Q10, I missed having a larger screen size. YMMV.
   
   The other app that enhances my BB10 experience is HUB++, you too can become a notification ninja :-)

I've bought Zero Lemon off of Amazon in the past and they've been good. I think they stopped selling them though, so you might just have to try other ones. I'd probably give these guys a shot, but buy at your own discretion:

That might last more than four hours. I hope.

It's a lot easier to replace than you think. Be very careful of the display cable. If you have the main board towards your right its at the top edge of the battery. I used a credit card to slip under the battery. It's kind of tough to remove.

Unfortunately I basically destroyed the old battery trying to get it out. The connector is no longer attached. I do not believe I damaged any other part of the phone trying to get the battery out though. But if I did, what part of the phone would most likely be broken to get this problem? Just where the battery connects to the phone? (Sorry if my wording is bad.)

I think I will just contact the company, and see if I can get a different battery.

From your link it looks like the one from ReplaceDirect is actually this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Sino-3450mAh-13-11Wh-Replacement/dp/B01KV4OIDE you can see the reviews on amazon. I would not trust Huawei batteries again...

> but also wsnt sure if I should wait for the S6

I'd say wait for the s6.

The s3 was a decent phone when it was released, but now it's crap. I had one, went to an s4 - it's such a faster and better phone it's almost unbelievable. If I had known, I would have switched when it came out.

But - an s6 should have band 12, which the s5 (and most other phones right now) don't have. It should be designed with VoLte in mind as well, though the s5 does have VoLte if I remember right already.

I personally bought a refurbished s4 because I needed a TMobile phone (my s3 was on verizon) and I'm waiting for around March when the next crop of phones will come out that have band 12 and are designed for VoLte.

If you're having battery life issues, you can buy a new battery for the s3 for $10-$15, like this one:

I purchased this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010P2BQ2S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_cUnBwbV41SXN
It's 3rd party but from what i can tell they get the same battery life as OEM. The only downside i have noticed is that the percentage may be 1-3 percent off on the phone.

I really like it, actually.

The basics: I went with Trexcell 3800 mAh (on Amazon) for about $20. The first battery they sent was defective or something (same if not worse battery life than stock). The second one worked... they have good customer service for replacing batteries, so just keep an eye out on your screen-on time the first few days using it. If I were doing it all over again, I'd probably try their competitor Hyperion. I can't comment on their quality.


Looks/weight: It doesn't look pretty as pretty as stock, but it does add some nice weight to it (I can tell if its right side up by feel). I can also tell if its in my pocket or not. The original was often so light I could reach into my pocket several times and still freak out that I had misplaced my phone. I'm now quite a fan. When you're holding it no one can see the ugly backside unless you point it out.

Cases: Originally I just cut the back off my case from Verizon (which I still have as a back up) with box cutter. I now use this case that costs $3.09 for it, which gives it a nicer profile. You get what you pay for, though, and the rubber is kind of falling off (for the second time). So I may go back to my case.

My settings: (CM10 alpha from winner00, about to switch to Liquid Smooth JB when the first non-beta release drops). I'm on 4g most of the day, and Wifi at home. I manually toggle 4g off and Wifi on at home, and reverse it during the day. I use the CM10 notification bar toggles (same when I was running ICS Liquid Smooth 1.5). I don't know if it saves battery to turn off 4G when running WiFi, but it hasn't hurt. Worse case scenario I leave the house and I'm running 3G while listening to my audiobook.

That was much more than I intended to type, but if you have any more questions let me know.

No problem. Buckle up, get a cup of coffee or take notes or something.

TL;DR Buy this unless the Perfine is back in stock soon.

I have 2 main ones that I cycle through right now, a Perfine 4100 mAh battery (out of stock on Amazon) and a Taeozi 4200 mAh (delisted). I've purchased more, I'll list them and their fates below, kinda chronologically, especially because I'm going to make a bigger post soon outlining all of them once two packages come in.

  The one that came with my phone. I used it once - when I initially got the phone. Drained it to 40% and put it back in the box, for when the inevitable batterypocalypse happens.
  
  
• OEM LG Battery #2
  
  It's good, it still works. I keep it at my parents' place charged to 50% as a spare. Finding an actual OEM LG battery is another story.
  
  
• "OEM" LG Battery #3
  
  Complete shit. Bought it on Amazon. Degraded faster than any of the other 3rd party batteries, like literal weeks before it was shit. It was actually cheaper than all of them too. Phone lags below 50% charge, probably due to voltage sag. Recycled. Was either a fake, really old, really used, or all 3. No recourse or refund with something like this - the 3rd parties on Amazon all honor their warranties in my experience.
  
  
• 2x TQTHL 3300 mAh (delisted)
  
  Came with one of those black wall chargers. One battery gave random "invalid battery" errors out of the box upon booting and would just shut the phone back down. I contacted the seller, they gave me a 50% refund, no questions asked. Bizarrely enough, after really cleaning the contacts on Invalid Battery, it works great now. ~2800 mAh real capacity. The one that was "OK" out of the box degraded, I recycled it after a few months of use.
  
  
• aexpower 3300 mAh battery (delisted)
  
  Same deal as the now dead TQTHL, barely 2000 mAh actual capacity after ~6 months, slowdowns if it's below 50% charge, etc. Contacted them, they offered to send a replacement or a prorated refund based on the 18-mo warranty. Pretty sure aexpower and SHENMZ are the same "company".
  
  
• 2x Perfine V20 Battery BL-44E1F 4100mAh Replacement for LG V20 H990 H910 VS995 LS997 Removable Battery - Out of Stock
  
  I'm about to RMA one of them because I get random "High temperature warning ⚠" screens but only with that specific battery installed. It was the 1st one I bought, and I may or may not have rolled over onto the phone, plugged into a USB-PD charger, with the brightness on max. The 2nd battery I bought a few weeks after that when they were back in stock still works great and AccuBattery estimates 3800 mAh capacity on it. The wonky one has also always been much harder to get the battery cover to close over, so it was probably a dud on Day 1 that's just now manifesting.
  
  
• Taoezi 4200 mAh - Delisted
  
  Tough to get the cover over, but it doesn't give me any trouble. Only bought it because it was a good deal cheaper than the Perfine at the time, and was also in stock.
  
  
• Upgraded LG V20 BL-44E1F Battery Replacement, SHENMZ 4200mAh Li-Polymer Battery 24 Month Warranty
  
  Almost free, I bought it using the refund from the aexpower. Voltage sag below 50% charge after 6 mo, not going to bug them for a refund tho, will recycle it next time I go to Best Buy.
  
  
• TAYUZH LG V20 Battery | 2X 3200mAh Replacement Li-ion Battery with Wall Charger for LG V20 BL-44E1F | V20 Spare Battery - 24 Month Warranty
  
  They legit seem identical to the very first set of TQTHL batteries, from the packaging, to the charger, etc. These Chinese battery "companies" are all just different names for the same shit in my opinion lol. I keep one in my desk and one in the car, and tbh I bought them for the charger. They're probably safer to keep lying around than these sketchy LiPo packs anyways.
  
  
• [Upgraded TAYUZH 2X 4200mAh Replacement Li-Polymer Battery BL-44E1F with Spare Charger for LG V20 24 Month Warranty] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VK7QKPF/)
  
  On the way because Perfine is out of stock. Technically the cheapest LiPo on Amazon right now. Technically what I'd recommend.
  
  

  Special Mention
  

  
  3 wonderfully ridiculous 3800 mAh "Gold" batteries are on their way from eBay. It was like $24 for 3. I bought them just to see what they were.
  
  There are a few more ridiculous sounding brands of battery on eBay, including one that doesn't even appear to have a "brand name" but has a Chinglish message printed on it about ["Supporting US Taxpayer Company"] (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F174036162148) and boasts a 4520 mAh capacity! Make BL-44E1F Great Again. And then this 4200 mAh "LOSONCOER" that is more expensive than all of the 4200 mAh batteries on Amazon but ships from China. No thanks. Others include a "Sporting" 4520 mAh and an ACESOFT 4520 mAh, and one that's completely unbranded, possibly the elusive "original" battery that all of these fuckers are buying boxes of to slap labels onto. They're dirt cheap though, $12 or so.
  
  I also bought a MAXXJUICE to see what that's about. I doubt it will be any different from the other 4Ah batteries, and it's a great deal more expensive, but it comes with a case. Also no sales tax because lol Singapore. Yay.
  
  

  OEM Batteries
  

  
  If for whatever reason you want an original LG OEM battery, I've only found 2 legit sources, neither are cheap.
  
  The first is easier, local, quicker, but way more expensive. Find someone selling the retail BCK-5200 package - the battery inside is real and unused. Buying an OEM battery from someone selling the loose BCK-5200 (cheaper) is hit or miss.
  
  The 2nd is an Israeli eBay user that appears to be operating out of a cell phone shop in Bnei Barak. They also still have the LG Quick Cover in stock lol. Everything I ordered from him has a little sticker on it - they were accessories imported for a carrier over there. That's "OEM LG Battery #2" from earlier. It's over a year old. Still works fine.

Here's the link for the battery. Sorry, I was on mobile earlier. It does come with a cover.

Agree. My ShenMZ Li-po battery is getting between 3500-3600mAh.

Literally had mine replaced yesterday evening.

https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Sino-Li-Polymer-Replacement-Li3931T44P8h756346/dp/B071S9JCNT

Is what I went with. Running accubattery on it now to see what kind of capacity it estimates it's got. My old battery, 2.75 years old, was at 1400 mAh capacity. This one definitely is doing way better than that, but I won't have solid figures for a few days.

I switched over to this guy, and I'm very pleased with it. It can totally last you a day.

Question for you.

I literally just replaced mine today and I'm having trouble getting the phone to boot up. When I installed it, the phone indicated it at 38% charge, but then it dropped and turned off. I was able to turn it back on but it did the same shut down shortly after.

I put it on the charger and now I've tried several times to reboot it with no success yet. What happens is it will go through the google log0 and the android animation, then the phone will vibrate once, make a chime, flash the android logo and then go to black. I've caught a brief glimpse of the homescreen a few times before it completely shut down, so I know something is working.

I've read that sometimes a phone won't accept a new battery right away and needs some time before it gets working properly, but I'm nervous that there's an issue. Have you experienced this at all or heard about it? Should I just keep it on the charger and be patient or should I do a factory reset?

Here's a link to the replacement I bought:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078B5P1LD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had similar problems and purchased this battery and have seen marked improvement. I also switched out the usb connection on the wall charger with a higher quality usb (you can find them cheap on Amazon) and like that better.

Yeap from Amazon. Here's the link to it:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B0IS6MU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1395039994&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40

And it generally lasts me the whole day with moderate usage (excluding heavy gaming). It's noticeable compared to the stock one though.

I got this one but I actually have the VZW phone so I had to email them and get them to send me the right back plate, which they did for free. It definitely makes the phone bigger, but I actually like the feel of it in my hand a bit better. I never used a case before so it was kind of a big jump in size but it is worth it.

Here is the amazon link

This, and this have made my S3 new again. The glass replacement is easy, and you'll get ridiculous battery life for less than the cost of what just the screen repair would get you.

Do it yourself if you're at all handy, it's pretty easy, all you need is hair dryer or heat gun, some guitar picks, a credit card and a flat blade precision knife (exacto) or similar.

worked great for me right up until my performance cores separated and my 6p went into cold storage as an emergency backup.

No, the battery is not the best. You can upgrade it with a 3.7v battery like this for a much higher capacity -

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAX9XYG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However, note that you will have to switch the red and black wires in the housing for it to work (not difficult and requires zero tech knowledge, just a hair/safety pin). Before I would lose a bar or two of power each play session. With this battery I haven't charged it the past 3 times I've used it and it still has two bars.

I haven't noticed any input delay, which is amazing imo.

The antenna has a spot on the board that it plugs into. I don't think that's on a normal brook.

i know it sounds a bit lame, but i absolutely LOVE http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C8XRJY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 . really a great value at only $15. very nice, espically with jelly bean being somewhat more of a battery hog. nothing but great things to say about the battery though

If you want to go cheap and try a new battery, you can get one for like $10 on Amazon.

I recently got one for my 2 year old S4 and I've noticed a considerable increase in battery life.

I bought this one as a reference:

6. N/a
   
   
7. If you use a hair dryer heat it for a really long time (couple mins) I'm pretty sure it's not as effective as a heat gun as the glue wasn't always melting well if I didn't heat it for a while. And as others have mentioned when removing the glue from under the battery, becareful of the black ribbon (see YouTube videos) you can potentially rip it.

[Help] iPhone 7 battery replacement (Ifixit kit?)

Hey got an iPhone 7 to replace my 6 and I'm looking for the best battery replacement kit.

When I had to do this on my 6, I got this and it worked pretty well but the manufacturer doesn't make any for the iPhone 7. The rest on amazon seem to have very mixed reviews so I was contemplating the ifixit kit, especially since I can replace the display adhesive for waterproofing. Has anyone had any experience with it?

might already exist:

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower%C2%AE-Qi-Enabled-Wireless-External-Incredible/dp/B00DN0AVN0

I used to carry multiple batteries around for my phone. I'd have a spare battery charger in my truck plugged in with a spare being charged, a completely charged battery in the glove compartment, and one in my wallet. I then upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S4, and bought an extended capacity battery and now I can go three or four days before I have to charge my phone. Much more convenient than having to swap batteries.

I have no problem with the stock jellybean camera app but use pro capture or Camera v5 most of the time. Battery life is worse than the stock rom, I get 8-12 hours out of a fully charged battery. But I'm using this Anker battery (since my OEM one decided to start popping) and while it's rated an extra 100mAh I wouldn't be surprised if its capacity was lower than the oem one.

Honestly the battery life is bad I bought a 6,000 mAh external back up battery since my phone was dying everyday and I can't count on being close to an outlet.

Haven't noticed any difference in bluetooth functionality.

My next device will probably be either a Nexus or play edition but I really want to have a removable battery and storage.

I used a cameron sino battery I got on Amazon for it. Here's the link for the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Sino-3450mAh-13-11Wh-Replacement/dp/B01KV4OIDE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511884627&sr=8-3&keywords=cameron+sino+nexus+6p+battery

It solved the early shutdown issue for me.

You do realize that there are after market batteries you can can buy that are a lot bigger and last a lot longer ?

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Extended-Compatible-Warranty/dp/B00BCK2G40 (just an example)

Hyperion Samsung Galaxy S4 7500mAh Extended Battery with NEW MicroP... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCJZYE0/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_JJcytb1CA4GT7

I just got it yesterday, so if you message me in a few days I'll let you know how it's going. The instructions say it has a "break-in period" of 4/5 days, but I can already tell the battery life is significantly increased.

I also got the honeycomb case they sell for it, and I love it. Flexible, but matte so it doesn't get stuck in your pocket or keep dirt and fingerprints.

What about this one? Top result on amazon for "iphone 6 battery"

He means this one, or get two and a charger to swap them out on the go.

I've used Anker and they are reliable.

If the only flaw of the smartphone approach for you is battery life, get some cheap like an old Samsung Galaxy S4 and fit it with an extended battery.

Should be pretty cheap, if you run a stripped down Android OS and only use IR + short-range wifi it should be able to last a few days at minimum.

I can't find them on amazon.com either and their website gives me 404 for their canada and US resellers maybe they are discontinued product? When I try to add to cart it bring me to a russian website lol.

Hahaha geez, that's an intense tangent. I actually thought the wire was see through but coincidentally, I do have something like that. It's not bad. Sometimes it will just randomly deplete its charge and it's hard getting the watch to sit very well because it's flat but otherwise it has very good battery life and is quite portable. It's a 4.8 A so it can charge my One M8 like 3 times.

I bought this one.

You can buy an OEM battery from LG on Amazon.

I was about to make a post on the same thing I found three different batteries on Amazon and can't make up my mind between them

Sorry. I should have said “extremely low frame rate” instead of “slideshow”.

Power source should be good, I thought. From the wall, I’ve got a CanaKit 5V 2.5A. That plugs into a Powerboost 1000c which powers the pi zero w from a beefy 3.7V, 2500mAh lithium ion battery. That should be enough juice, right?

I even took it apparent and got some fans on it to confirm it wasn’t an over-heating issue. I’m just worried it something wrong with the display. I’m gonna fiddle with those config settings they had me add and I’ll try hdmi_safe. It’s gonna be something obvious, I’m sure. Just need to figure it out.

Thanks again, btw, for all your help. Really, it’s made my life so much easier. The worst part of a project, though, is final assembly and having everything ALMOST working.

Have you installed any new programs? If so try uninstalling them to see if it solves the issue. That is if you can do without them for a while.

The battery could be failing. If the phone has a removable battery, you can usually get a new battery pretty cheap. You could try switching them out.

I am not sure of your model, but it appears the G4's do have a replaceable battery.

Also note that using high amp chargers will wear down a battery quicker than a lower amp charger. I personally use a 2.1 as much as possible but since I have a removable battery I don't care that much if it wears quicker.

My girlfriend's s3 had terrible battery life as well after a couple years. Recently bought 2 of these and a standalone charger. When one is dead, swap em and you never even have to plug it in.

Damn my nexus 4 without removable battery, I really miss never having to plug my phone in.

You could spend days reading stuff on Battery University, but it's probably best to just get a new one. I got a ZeroLemon, and it's been great. There are some high capacity versions available, but they cost a lot.

mine too. I bought a Power Bear battery. 6000 mAH. A little heavier but it extends the life of the phone for now.

there's a bunch of amazon and such like this that all seem to be rebrands of the same OEM unit.

i mostly came here though, to say don't get the bezalel ark. holy crap, what a hunk of junk. that was the first one of these i saw, and i watched a friend of a friend spend like 20 minutes trying to get his phone to actually start charging with the thing, then it drained pathetically quickly.

note that these are consistently REALLY overpriced. Like, $50+ for a <5000mAh pack, when you could get a new trent or a xiaomi or something 10kmAh or more for ~$20. How much is wireless charging worth to you?

ebay and amazon have plenty, though. just searching "qi wireless battery bank" or "battery pack" or whatever worked.

This which Is what I will most likely buy

under 50 dollars for a case and a larger battery.

This battery has NFC.

>Rats. Well, if you really need something bigger, Hyperion has the model that fits yours. The battery you linked in the OP will fit just fine, but as others have said, it doesn't support Near Field Communication (AKA Android Beam, the NFC tags people use with Tasker, the Samsung "Ding" you see in the Windows Phone commercials, or the Google Wallet contactless payments)

I'm totally fine with that, I don't like humping phones with anybody.. That's just weird

The chances that you could successfully use an HTC connector in a S3 seem slim.

The safest bet would probably be to get an external battery charger and spare battery, such as: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B0IS6MU

I got 2 batteries and a charging cradle off Amazon from TrendOn for about $20, I will link to it in a minute.

I bought mine from Amazon. They sell the battery and charger in a bundle, a little pricey but worth it.

I have a Hyperion battery for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I get easily a day and a half with moderate usage.

My only complaint is the replacement battery door is not so good quality. Also it's exceedingly hard to find a car mount. I bought one then modified it with Sugru to make my phone fit.

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I was wondering if I could upgrade the battery (it's really the main downside to it, I love everything else about it); is it worth getting over the included one?

[Edit: I also found this which sounds interesting. Anyone have any advice for me? Is Hyperion a good company for batteries or no? Any alternatives I missed?]

If you get a really big extended battery, it will last all day, but I'm talking 3-4 times the original size. I had a galaxy s4 with a [7500mAh Extended battery] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCJZYE0/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ZLTbvb1PEGWV8) and it would last a day or two.

And trust me, I use my phone a lot. I ran my nexus 5 from 100% -- 0% battery in 4 hours yesterday.

It definitely helps for the time being. I believe I bought this one

This is the one I bought and found that I didn't even need a few of the items. Here is the camera glass cover

An X-ACTO or other utility knife along with a playing card (used a Joker to not mess up my other cards lol) was also useful.

here you go

sale pending but it fits just like the normal one, lasted about 2 hours or so longer than the stock one. This is it.

edit: sold

I see the other guy recommends you install Cyanogen, and I can speak from experience as I currently have Cyanogen 13 (Marshmallow) installed.

First off, do install Cyanogen, I love it so far!!

But it doesn't really fix the battery issues, in fact I think I might actually go through battery a little faster on this ROM.

The S3 was not really future-proofed, in that the battery life has pretty much always sucked. To combat this I bought two Anker 2200mAh Batteries and two Wall Battery Chargers from Amazon. Its great! I love going from 0% straight to 100% in just a minute or two.

I personally go though about 80-160% of battery a day with about 2-5 hours of demanding screen on time, so I do really recommend keeping an extra battery with you. Here is today's minimal (2 hours 50 minutes screen on time) battery usage for reference.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

P.S. Here is the download link for CyanogenMod for your phone.

Replaced my original battery in March (owned 2 years in Feb) with a "YISHDA LG V20 Battery 3200mAh" ordered off Amazon. Haven't had any issues since the replacement and the order was a two pack; so I'm hoping to get a fair amount of life out of them barring any major catastrophes.

This one

It's been a life saver for me for times where my Q is under heavy load.

This is the battery. You will have to cut parts of the inside out and sand it down a bit to fit. It's tight, but it will fit! Oh, and the connector is not the correct size. I just stole the connector from the old battery tho, easy solder job.

If your usb is broken buy this. These batteries are great!

There are a couple if you search amazon. One is by a company called Ravpower.

I had the problem with the battery cover staying on with this one. Can't speak out possible explosions and shit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L93VHZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The left side would never stay secure and always pop out slightly when I took my phone out of my bicycle saddle bag to/from my work commute. All I ended up having to do was rip the sticker off it. That teeny-tiny layer was all I needed to remove to make the back cover stay as secure as the stock battery. It's been several months now and the back cover as never popped off unless I wanted it to.

I would make sure you peeled off any stickers you can.

this one doesn't support quick charge but works fine. these days i charge my nexus6p only once per 2-3 days

I picked up this bad boy just a couple of weeks ago. I only have about a weeks worth of driving on it, but so far it is fantastic. Daily driving is now back down to just 1 charge a day.

I have two. One anker 10000 mAh. I use this for travel. It can charge two devices in one go, including iPad. One at 1 amp the other at 2. It is heavy though.

My daily backup is a blackberry power bank because of its slim and great design.

The wire is attached, so you won't ever forget it. Snug in pocket. Removable/replaceable battery, indicator. You can also charge it while charging your phone with it. So with one charger you can charge both overnight.

This one? I've been thinking about getting an extended battery but I've heard nasty things about third party cells.

edit: er, sorry, that's a mobile link. There, fixed.

I bought this one from RAVpower

1. Bought it a few days ago, received today.
   
   
2. I bought it from Amazon here
   
   
3. I used the tools that came with it, plus an exacto knife, playing cards, and a hairdryer.
   
   
4. The only minor issue is that I bent the plastic piece at the bottom pulling it off while the glue was still pretty tight. I wish I had taken a little more time and been more careful. It would have been easier if I had a chisel exacto knife instead of a standard - with a standard exacto knife, I had to push down at an angle to get the blade flat to the edge, and it took a while to figure out just how far to push down. Also, I kept accidentally turning on the phone, which didn't seem to cause a problem, but freaked me out.
   
   
5. So far, battery life looks to be about 4 hours of SOT from 1, which seems good. In hindsight, the battery manufacturer recommended leaving the phone off and charging for 12 hours, so maybe I should have done that.
   
   
6. NA.
   
   
7. Other tips - Take your time and it's not that bad. Watch a video until you have a fairly good idea where the display cable is under the battery, so you can stay away from it while getting the battery out.
   
   
8. Not sure if it has a temperature monitor, but probably not.
   
   
9. The replacement cable matches the narrow photo in the OP link, although I thought looked just like the one in my phone. It fit fine but not perfectly, so there was a little tiny bit of slack when I put the phone together.

I went over 48 hours without charging with the Hyperion 3800mAh. But I consistently go 24 hours plus without plugging it in. It's $21 on amazon right now. Worth every penny

I got this one for my galaxy s4, which actually holds more juice than most stock laptop batteries. It made the battery last about 3 times longer but it also made it 3 times heavier. It weighs about as much as 1 cup of water (8fl oz). I think it's worth it to know that even if you're away from a charger for 2 nights you'll still have battery left, and that's without conserving. If I underclock my phone cpu, turn down screen brightness, and turn off mobile internet and only text and make calls, my phone would probably last a week. If you're looking to only use about 50% of your battery life per day, I would recommend the slightly lighter version.

I don't really think this battery is really good. The battery may drain after few months of using it.

my battery pack has a QI wireless charger, so just by putting my phone in my pocket with it it starts charging

edit: i made that up but looks like they do exist: http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower%C2%AE-Wireless-Qi-Compliant-Including-Incredible/dp/B00DN0AVN0 it does 1A output, not bad for wireless.. I think I want one

The Galaxy S4 has a removable Battery

There is a 3800 mAH battery that will double your battery life but also double the thickness of the phone.

There's a few power banks on amazon with almost twice as much storage for cheaper.

Link 1

Link 2

The XPS can take power through it's USB C port so you've got quite a few more options available if you google around.

it was a lil long but it didnt effect anything. temperature sensors says 77F atm but fluctuates a lil bit so I'm assuming its working or uses different resistor.

Dude....don't root. Buy an affordable slim aftermarket battery. I bought the Zero Lemon slim 2300 MaH batter. I'm not kidding you when I say I get all day battery life on heavy use. Go read the reviews at amazon. Seriously the best resolution the problem you have....(I had the same issue). Here is the link.... they are out of stock now, but it will be back.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0IS6MU/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Those who dont care already went with Apple or took their money to Samsung, whose crushing domination with Android mobiles speaks loud enough about how attractive expandable storage and replacable/upgradable batteries really are. Especially when the cloud is unreliable/slow, bandwidth costly and the base battery life is a common source of complaints. I mean, look at the autonomy of this monster.

On Android, iDevices are not the leader to challenge, Samsung devices are, and it's disturbing how many OEMs aren't even trying to make their devices attractive next to the default selection from Samsung.
