[Q] Galilio batteries (cheap batteries from china)

Hello all, I just got a droid incredible and I'm super disappointed with the battery life, I had a moto droid and got this phone as a replacement, the battery drains sooooo quickly its pretty ridiculous, HTC could've easily popped in a 1500 mah battery for us. Well anyways, I was looking for a replacement battery for the inc.
Paying 50 dollars for a battery is unacceptable in my eyes, I just want to use the standard case but have a little extra boost.
I found these on ebay:
cgi.ebay.com/High-Quality-Battery-Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-1800mAh-x2-/250660990012?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c8f2c3c#ht_3148wt_807
wondering if anyone has tried them out? you can buy one for 7 bucks so I think it's a good deal just to try them out for awhile and see if they perform well. I'll be ordering some soon and post my results.
Anyone else thinking about these batteries or already purchased one?

Any cheap battery from china always dies super fast after a couple of weeks .....i know because I bought like 7 batteries from china and they all sucked. The ones for my incredible die in an hour of playing with it and my blackberry storm battery wouldn't even stay on the night I left it off the charger... ..don't but batteries from china......

just remember you get what you paid for. generally cheap batteries from overseas might last you a week maybe less. like the post before mine. id hafta agree 100% with him. those batteries are that cheap for a reason. get a quaility battery that works with the phone. their are many posts on here in reguards to what batteries work and what dont. take a look around.

I second this - not for phones, but we bought some super cheap chinese batteries off amazon for our canon camera. THey lose their charge in less than a week of non-use. Basically useless for backup batteries.

Oh awesome thanks for the replies, maybe ill just get the seidio 1750 then or the HTC 1500. Thanks again

There is a seller on ebay selling a legit 1500 htc battery for 15$. I can't find the thread cuz I'm on my phone but if I search on here you should find it. There was a recent post with the link in another battery thread. I have one and I'm super happy with it

I have one of those, and routinely get 4-5 hours of active use out of it. 18 up/5 awake just yesterday.
Also remember to charge the battery while the phone is OFF for maximum charge, if you plan to use it to full capacity.

Yeah I get about 24 up and 10 awake but I'm using an underclocked setcpu profile. And I normally leave 3g on, play games, tons of texts and always on the web.

Got my battery 2 days ago and can already see a huge improvement. This is the HTC 1500 OEM battery. I bump charge it and it lasts all day, texting browsing and games also.
Thanks for the eBay link.

I have one of those 3000mah batterys from ebay, like 12 shipped. The rear case turns the incredible from a phone into a phone/hockey puck hybrid. Its awesome. I get amazing battery life. With mild usage, ive gone 52 hours on a single charge (bump charged). Yesterday, i spoke on the phone for ~2 hours, played mp3s on the phone connected to a sound system for ~4 hours, plus lots of text, LOTS of playing Angry Birds, uploading pictures to flickr and more, and when i got home i had 62% still. Love it.
Before 3 hours of good use and battery was toast on stock battery.

Avoid the Seidio 1750 battery. Someone on Android Central did a discharge test of the HTC 1500 and the Seidio battery and the results came back almost identical. Seidio claims their battery gets better after a few charges but if both use the same chemistry then so will the HTC 1500. I'm not saying that the Seidio is a bad battery just saying its over priced. Just look for an OEM Touchpro2 1500mah battery.
FYI: I bought a Seidio battery before I read the thread. I'm not upset just next time I will do more research before being from them again.

I bought the HTC OEM 1500. They're available on eBay and Amazon for $15 or less available in red and black =P so far its a lot better than the 1300. Good info in the forum

I bought a Chinese 3500mah extended battery from a guy in Hong Kong on EBay for 10 bucks, and my phone lasts all day with moderate usage versus only lasting 4 or 5 hours with the stock battery.
I'm still going to get the seidio 3500 just because it comes with a nicer back.

I think it's hit and miss with Chinese-made batteries...
For example, last year I bought four Chinese generic li-ion batteries for my Canon DSLR. When I moved, I misplaced two of the batteries. I found them about two months ago and they still had three out of three bars of charge (could be anywhere from 100%-67% charge, not sure). But that was not bad, I thought, for sitting idle, off the charger, for eight months.
I also picked up a generic 9-cell battery for my Dell XPS last year. $20. It still, a year later, can run the laptop for a good four hours or so. Solid battery.
But, I've seen evidence on this site and others about Chinese manufacturing of counterfeit batteries and memory cards and other devices that will give me reason to think twice in the future... The gent at http://batteryboss.org/ will open your eyes pretty quickly. There are even photos of batteries with their plastic casing, which states 1500mah, only having an 1100mah cell. Ridiculous.

i bought an OEM HTC EVO 1500mah off ebay, there are a bunch now....i paid 16 bucks...
here is one llink
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-OEM-Battery...ccessories&hash=item20b3dd7c57#ht_1991wt_1140
here are 2 for 26
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-15...Accessories&hash=item3a5f725ba4#ht_726wt_1140
why buy cheap chinese batts when you can get oem for a little more, not 50 bucks either...the 1500 lasts me ALL day, with heavy use...hour and half commute...twice, browsing, forums....games, you name it...i do have 2 cheapie chinese batts just for an extra boost if i find myself away too long, but they are only if i run out of my HTC juice, which is very rare

..delete.. how the hell did I get in this forum?

How often do you charge your nexus per day?

Like the title said. How often do you charge your Nexus 4 each day. Pleas take into consideration that you let your N4 run at least under 30% before charging. If you can go on without recharging your battery for more than one day please post the numbers of days.

I charge once a day. I get 12-16 hours of battery life from what I consider an average day attached are screenshots from yesterdays battery life

3 times, but I just got it 2 days ago. It might be that new phone usage spike. Still, I have serious doubts that it will go to less than 2 charges per day

Yep, same. I've even had 40 hours out of it once, but only because I was in meetings for 2 days and the screen was off for 8 hours at a time. that was fully charged to completely dead.

Really happy with the battery life so far, I was being conservative on my last phone with battery however now I've got this I don't really think about it so much.
Charge when I go to bed.

I got my Nexus on Tuesday night and I'm only just charging it for the first time now.
I'm only a light user though.

Once - Over night
Last's all day wifi on 8hrs - BT 1hr - texting & a few calls

Depends. When I'm at home I charge once per day, but when in at work it just sits on my desk charging. I normally use the phone more at work then I do at home, so it's hard for me to tell if I could really get through a whole day work my normal usage. I have done about 12-14 hours or so with a couple hours of screen time and still had 15% left. To me, the battery has been about 25 percent better than the gnex.

I still love my Nexus 4 and it performs well still but the battery life is now beyond dire, charging it 3 times a day.
Is it worth paying a firm to replace the battery? My thoughts are that I can just put that money towards an inevitable replacement in the near future.

I just replaced the battery in my N4. It was simple, requiring only a small torx driver and a small Phillips, plus a pry tool. The battery was cheap on Amazon and says it is an LG battery.
The old battery would no longer charge at all.

I still get 4h of SoT, and 10-12 hours battery time - so I am still quite happy with my N4. Unfortunately the camera really sucks (even more now) so I will replace the beloved N4 soon.

Yeah, I am having intermittent camera issues, a lot of photos come out black even in good light.
It's another excuse to upgrade I guess, has been a great phone though.

I think I should try the battery swap thing, mine just cannot get more than an hour and a half of SOT no matter what combination of ROM, Kernel and Android version I try, and using it during my daily commute means I arrive at my workplace at already 60% even if I'm on extremely low screen brightness. Greenify doesn't help either because it's the actual screen on what kills it, as long as the screen is off the battery drain is negligible.
Worst part is that every single battery out there is a fake, just with a very high-quality copied sticker on it. AFAIK the only way to get a new original battery is through LG and for a price you'd be better just getting a new Moto E 3rd gen for a little bit more and call it a day.

Request to Mugen Power to supply us better battey

hello to all nexus 4 members. due the low life battery of the nexus 4 i consider to requesst from Mugen power to create us
better alternative to make a battery like 3600mah or more. for you who didnt know mugen power are company that makes extened and very strong battaries alternatives to a lot of smartphones. here the website
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
you can google reviiews and youtube for comprasion for stock battaries and their battaries. i found that there are cases that their battaries are twice stronger than normal battaries. ok back to our issue- i know that the battery of nexus 4 is not
replaceable but i read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013947. so now with little work anyone can take out his nexus 4 battery.
the problem is there is not alternative in the market i thought that if we (a lot of members of nexus 4 of this great forum)
will ask them in 4 ways

to mugen power they will create some good decent battarey for us although its little complicated to take out the stock battarey.
suggestions? opinions? can it work? i say lets blast them with requests. if they will see thare are a lot of future costumers for thier product they can make us some unique battarey.

They are a company based out of Hong Kong. They will definitely jump in IF there is a demand for it.
In HK, Samsung is the king in smart phones so it might take them a while to build something that is too new.
With the shortage now, I think it won't happen soon.

MUGEN cheats the mAh rating though

The nexus 4 doesn't have poor battery life. Mine gets awesome battery life now that I do not have a bunch of widgets like hd widgets going.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The nexus 4's somewhat bad battery life is solely software related. Just wait for someone to figure out where the wakelocks come from and you'll see great battery life.
Also, undervolt your CPU and you should be getting close to 5 hours screen on time.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

the battery is good, its software releated, if you want more life you could use setcpu and restrict your speed, I got mine max at 800mhz and its fine, 4-5 hours screen time is possible with this phone,my best is 5 hours,22 hours on at 1000mhz max

Same here, I'm getting pretty amazing battery life. I get about 5 hours screen on time with just about a days worth of battery. Or I get about 2 days of battery on lighter use (about 3-3.5 hours screen on). For me wifi is on full-time and brightness is lowest at night and just less than 50% in the day.
I'm on Franco's kernel with no further changes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I'm at 5h of screen use right now (PA stock kernel) and I think it's quite good actually. I wouldn't have said no to a Mugen battery pack but since the N4 have a closed back it's not just a matter of simply posing a new battery cover, it would be to much hassle for me. I would purchase an external USB battery pack instead.

Was getting poor battery life, Google Services Framework was the top culprit.

Amazing battery life here as well. Running LTE and max brightness. Take that! In my opinion, as long as it lasts a day then I am fine. I hear people who claim that they get 1.5 days on their iPhones. Instead of charging it at night they keep it till the next day then scramble around panicking when they need to find a charger at mid-day.

First, I'd like to say that I average 4-5h of screen on time with my N4, and my battery easily lasts throughout the day, even with my heavy usage. Here's a screenshot of today, for example:
But if you really need an extended battery, rather than Mugen, I'd actually like to see Anker do one for the N4. I have a 1900mAh Anker in my old HTC Sensation, and it's a world of difference compared to the stock 1520mAh battery. It's also the exact same size, so no special cover is needed. It's slightly heavier too, so all things considered, I'd bet Anker isn't lying about their mAh rating. They get solid reviews everywhere, too, which is why I chose them to cure the awful Sensation battery issue (if you think the N4's stock battery is bad, you seriously need to try that phone! )

No battery issue here..

[Q] Battery drainage

this battery drainage seems to be a big problem with HTC one, is it really as bad as people/users are saying?
if the drain is that bad on the standby should i withhold getting HTC one? im out of the house for more than 14 hrs per day and a juiced up phone is what i need!
GS4 or ONE?
please advise

Actually the battery isn't a problem at all with the One! It is way above average for todays smartphones (not counting in the Note II)
You will generally get 6h of screen time with "xda-user" (most likely higher usage then the average consumer) which is amazing.
I leave the house at 7am and come home at around 10pm, that is 15 hours and the One has been holding up great!
I can't see the GS4 being any better. AMOLED + bigger screen = more power consumption (you need higher brightness etc.).. and in my eyes the One is the better phone over all too... so my advice is to get a One and you will be really really happy!
You may still want to invest 40$ in a portable external battery so you can charge your phone on the go .. just in case

Wait for GS4 Exynos OCTA performance tests to decide.
Maybe the OCTA will be more power-friendly.
Nevertheless, AMOLED 5'' screen of the GS4 seems to be better than the HTC One's . Even the brightness is not an issue anymore cause the new AMOLED is seen better on sunlight than the SLCD3! It suprised me cause the S3 was bad on sunlight. Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_htc_one-review-913p3.php

Although I know someone there who get results like this with HTC One so the device is not an issue. Just trying to say that SmokyM79 might have wakelock issues there.

The One gets better battery life than the GS4. Rogue apps holding wakelocks won't help either way.

On the related subject of monitoring battery consumption, I have used battery monitor widget since I owned my first Android phone , a Desire HD, however it doesn't measure current correctly on my One.
Does anyone have a recomendation for an app that currently supports the HTC One ?

Battery life :?

Hi, For those who got nexus 6 somehow or who can just guess:
How much is battery going to be ?
Also when they say 8 hours of usage from 15mins charge, 8 hours of video? Or browsing? Or calling ? Or.... 8 hours of what usage ? How long does it take for it to fully charge? And how many percent does the battery get charged after 15mins?
This is just the most awesome thing its like its built for me , only problem is battery life ! (my nexus 4 batterylife is not good, but not unbelievable !) i always carry my nexus 4 charger with myself !(in my pocket)

They've only said how many hours in how many minutes of charge. But if I had to guess, it's probably 25% in 15 minutes. And the 8 hours is most likely standby time.

One hour isn't bad, especially if the software is still being tweaked. Were you able to see the link at some point, or how do you know there is an hour difference between the devices?
Just found the link, even better, only about 50 minutes separate the two.

Just one last Question : do you think that quick charge can damage the battery(lifespan) ?

Thats still great!! Awesome ! Even if that isnt the final result(tweak ect) its great!
My nexus 4 battery is so small!!! I always keep the charger in my pocket! + a solar panel connected to a power bank(900mah) in trips

Yes, that's why i'm putting custom kernel on mine, and lower the current. Both batteries are amazing, and last long enough, only 50 mins difference, but Nexus 6 display is also bigger, so there is that.

As long as the battery lasts until the next nexus comes out. I'm OK. Surely this has been tested enough to get a year out of the battery. Time will tell. But it does tapper off after it has so much charge. I'm putting a little faith in battery technology. And maybe I could use custom kernel and then flash stock when I NEED a quick charge

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

But i plan to keep my nexus 6 untill end of my days!
Btw! I was waiting for answers like: WI-FI: On,min brightness : 7hours of video playback!
I saw tests like this on gsmarena, all tests are at same setting so i can get idea of how long they last!

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

+ there is no repair stuff here! So when battery is gone so is my phone :/
Even if they open it, they likely break some parts or scratch it horribly! And make it greasy!

I sure hope it doesn't hurt the battery. I'm not an expert in that department. This is the bad part about a newer technology. Maybe that's why apple is always 3 years behind. Lol

The charging current itself shouldn't really impact the wear on the battery. The only increased wear would be due to the increased heat generated by faster charging.
That said, I think it's a good trade-off. My Nexus 5 charges to full in about 1h20m, and I'm able to deal with the lackluster battery life as a result.

You are wrong. They both affect battery life. There are current limits, and recommendations because of this.

Who here actually works for a battery company? We have no idea what they have done to maybe make this efficient.

Sure we do, they use 2A charge rate, instead of ~1.5/1.2
