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.
This has been brought up pretty often on this subreddit, and I feel like there is a division between two main theories on the problem:
I was in the same situation (very similar screenshot) and was told by a Google representative after a few e-mails back and forth that I was out of my warranty period. I finally got fed up with it enough that I bought a new battery and replaced it a few days ago. As others who have also replaced their batteries have said, it truly is like having a brand new phone. I highly recommend it, though the process is a pain in the ass. Being concerned anytime the phone is below 60% battery is no way to live, especially when it drops to that point so quickly after being taken off charge.
Battery - $8.99 Amazon Prime; comes with opening tools but does not include a precision knife.
Replacement back glass camera cover - $7.99 Amazon Prime; because the battery did not come with precision knives and I am not a patient man, so I clearly broke the glass.
Precision knife - $3.58 add-on item; plan ahead. Don't be like me.
Heat gun - $19.97 Amazon Prime; you can use a hair dryer but this is a ton easier.

If you decide to go ahead with it, best of luck.

Its actually a fun process to replace the screen.
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.

Buy a replacement screen/back cover online for $1.50, replace it yourself?
Had a Dr. here accidentally slingshot his phone across his driveway (went to swat a mosquito with phone in hand, phone was in a slider style case and decided to leave, landing face down on the concrete). He bought replacement glass and had no trouble.
Granted, he's a Neurosurgeon... :)

I don't know if Samsung will fix it but I had this problem twice and got this replacement lens on Amazon for $7. Super easy to install, just search for a tutorial on YT. I remember reading something that said the lens shattering is a result of the waterproof seal creating too much pressure inside the phone but I could be wrong.
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.

Buy this and do it yourself.
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.
Don't buy an OEM battery. I keep seeing people complain about their brand new OEMs dying after a month.
I got this one, installed it myself, and it's been great ever since. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZMV7MD
You can buy replacement camera glass for cheap too. I recommend it because accidents happen. You can probably just return it after if you don't need it.

Have you considered replacing it yourself? If it's the digitizer that's broken, that's on Amazon for $58. There are also YouTube videos that show you how to replace the screen.
Bit late now, but there are many sellers that include the tools necessary with the screen/digitizer, along with a new bezel so you don't have to muck with glue. It's a 15 minute operation and only costs about $10 more than you paid.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBSGYZ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's an easy fix; I've done it thrice. Unscrew some screws, take out some cables, unstick the old screen from the bezel (SAVE THE ADHESIVE!), restick the new screen, screw back in the screws, and rehook up the cables. Super simple, takes no more than an hour (at most).
here's the battery.

It's actually super duper easy to replace. Take off the back of the phone. At the bottom, in the center, you'll see a piece of plastic held down by just one screw. Take the screw out, lift up the plastic, and you should be able to figure it out from there. Here's an Amazon link for a replacement - more expensive than ebay but it'll also exist for a while.

I bought this one and it's working fine for me. Just a word of advice: the double sided tape on the battery is there for a reason. I didn't re-secure my battery after moving to the new frame and I ended up having to replace the battery in the end, too.
Thank you! Does [this] look like a good option as a replacement : (http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Digitizer-Assembly-Asus-Generation/dp/B00CBSGYZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398027954&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+2012+screen+digitizer)
If it's just the screen that's destroyed, fix it!
It isn't hard. My wife dropped hers, it took an hour to fix with very simple tools.
Holy cow it's crazy to be even replying in the same thread as you. Android master race bow down to one of your leaders!!
Good to know about the efuse, I've been rooted since day one so I haven't had to really follow the new news on updates to the rooting process.
/u/Phred_Felps, if you need more info and this guy is offering I'd take him up.
I guess I can take this time to ask a question of my own. My screen just cracked and I was planning ordering a replacement on amazon and giving it a go. It's the first time I've done it though and I don't want to break the digitizer. Is there a model you recommend and do you think it's worth the risk? I was thinking of going with this kit, mostly because it's the most popular:

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:
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 :-)
This is the kit that I bought.
It came with everything I needed to change it. Battery, all the tools, it was great!

IMO OP it's really easy. I've been doing it for years and used to do it for my friends. Problem for me is they glue the digitizer and LCD together anymore which ups the cost and deters people from seeking my service. ifixit has always been my go to source on these things and I guarantee if you follow the steps you'll be great.

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.

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.

If just the glass is broken, the part to replace it is very cheap.
It is a bit on the laborious side, though, and you have the potential to damage the screen while you are doing it.
That said, I did it myself last month. I bought this kit on amazon, and now have a perfectly working phone. It took me a couple hours.
Amazon link
I did the same thing on my first replacement. This is the screen I ordered. Apparently you're supposed to take the cover from the old screen and put it over the notification light area on the new one. I really disliked the screen though. It seemed to crack much easier when I cracked it the second time, and it wouldn't recognize touches all the time. The second time, I ordered this screen. It doesn't come with any tools, but if you already have some you don't need any more. So far it's been better from what I can tell. There is a sticker that I think you're supposed to take off for the notification light, and I didn't realize it, so now my notification light is too dark (instead of too bright like yours and mine last time). So for future reference, or if you really want to fix it, that is the screen I would order.
As for returning the screen, I highly doubt you'll be able to do that, as the screen functions as intended; they just didn't make it obvious that you have to do something for the notification light area. You could try removing the screen and fixing it by putting something under it like a piece of black tape or something, but unless it really bothers you, I wouldn't risk breaking the screen again by trying to remove it.
Personally I would buy a used LG G3 off ebay or amazon. Then i would buy an extended battery off amazon like this one: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TBBL896/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1465267379&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=lg+g3+extended+battery&dpPl=1&dpID=517t3ZyX23L&ref=plSrch). If you are technically savvy put cyanogenmod on it and decrease the resolution to 1080 from 1440 and it will run as well as newer phones. This is what I have and actually refuse to upgrade.
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.
I also had the major battery issue of the cold completely draining it in seconds, and since I live in Canada like you, and am outside taking the bus... no bueno. I was thinking about that upgrade too, or waiting for s8, but I ultimately decided to try putting in a new battery. Why not risk $20-$50 to try and fix a phone I'm very happy with, instead of spending $700+? So I got a battery, and new camera lenses visor thing, since opening it was hard as shit and I broke it lmao. My battery is still on its second cycle, so I can't do proper testing yet, but I can tell you it's significantly better, and the cold didn't instantly annihilate it.

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 bought a 6000 mah battery from amazon. And I have to say it's awesome. Twice the juice.
I can go 2 days without charging. Did a little experiment. Started the day at 100%. At the end of the day, I was at around 76%.
http://imgur.com/EujBuoN ( pic at 10:30 ish)
Was home all day, so phone didn't get heavy use, but still I think 76% is impressive, way better than the stock battery.
http://imgur.com/fp5NPoR
Then, I went to rainymood.com and played the rain sound all night long. From 12:30am ish till 8 am. Battery in the morning was at 50%. Not bad again.
I'm pretty impressed with the battery, only thing is it's bulkier and you have to use a thicker cover ( came with battery). Usually, I play music all day long. When I'm at work and commuting. I think it drops to around 50% at the end of the day on heavy use.
Sorry for the formatting, on mobile. Don't know how to format correctly and also the dim screenshots, was using CF lumen.
Also, obviously it takes longer to charge.

[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?
Been dying to get this.
It's a long shot but this is pretty cool

$34.47 from Amazon. But this is for the iPhone 4, I have no idea if it works for the 4S.
For an iPhone 4, it cost $30 for the full kit and take less than 20mn to replace the screen :)

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.

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.
You can buy an OEM battery from LG on Amazon.

I am an expert on cell phone parts from china, and I imagine there are parts from 3-4 different factories mixed into this one listing. It is a pretty big joke, because you never know what quality you are going to get.
This is why I find a quality product and BRAND it with my trademark, and sell quality shiz, all while trying to keep other chinese sellers from polluting my listing.

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.

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.
>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

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?]
Thanks, is something like this acceptable?

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.
It was just standard snot tape from Amazon. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4VZNF2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
It was like $5.99, however it was pretty thin, so I had to put 2 strips next to each other in some spots.
why do you need the metal frame(isn't it hard plastic)? did you dent it good? you can buy the LCD and digitiser in one unit. i got this one. do a google search about the proximity sensor failing after you replace the screen. you can prevent it from happening by doing something during the replacing process(don't know what). after i replaced my screen, the sensor didn't work, but it was too difficult to remove the screen again so i had to live with the sensor not working(complete hassle). also, my replacement screen didn't settle flush with the sides of the frame. i think the tape was a tad bit too thick. i used the tape all the tutorials recommended. it would be best if there was some liquid adhesive, but i don't know where to look for that.
Just got this one, should be here in a week or so. Will let you know.
I recently replaced my screen because of same problem. I used this assembly to replace it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HFMWZCC It was surprisingly easy.
I think I grabbed mine for about 40 bucks? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZU5X36 I'd suggest making sure to get a better Phillips head screwdriver to work on it, but it definitely worked well for mine.
I am assuming you mean the touch screen and not the LCD. If the LCD is intact and visible 'behind' the broken glass, use one of these kits:
iPhone 3Gs
iPhone 4
If you aren't comfortable with a DIY fix, check craigslist for locals; there are likely a few people who will replace it for a reasonable fee.
Edit: looks like the iPhone 4 might be all-in-one, touchscreen and LCD? If so, weird, but whatever.
No pink line for me but my camera glass broke too, this replacement seems to have worked easy and painless. I'm sure there are other brands, but this is the one i ordered.

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.

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

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.
Just go on amazon. I bought a screen /digitizer for $100.
Actually here is only $72.

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
of course it makes the phone thicker, the battery has twice the capacity. It's also twice as heavy. There is no free lunch here.
Mine is similar to this one: http://amzn.com/B00TBBL896
In fact all these 6000mAh batteries have the same back cover far as I can tell
Edit: downvoted for stating simple facts? I would have thought you guys to be better than that
