I have one on order as my original battery can't survive more than a few hours of no use at all
i bought a couple of 5/10 dollar "1600 mAh" batteries off of ebay and they work 110% for me...look up my threads in this part of the forum and you'll see pics, reviews and info. Buy em!
can you link your revs?
Just bought one of these myself, any feedback from anyone?
just bought one too, i will let yall know how it turns out.
mine arrived today, just stopped charging this moment
Hope this is worth it...
Just ordered one as the OEM batt on my G1 is not cutting it... Any feedback from those who may be using this battery already?
-Thanks!
Normally I'm a reader not a poster, but I just bought 2 of these batteries off eBay (before reading the horrible reviews) since my OEM battery wouldn't last more than a phone call. I didn't really care if it did better than the OEM, I just needed something to hold me over until I decided to get a new phone.
It took about 2 weeks to get here, and I wasn't expecting any better than OEM but I'm actually impressed. Contrary to what I've been reading the label doesn't feel like it's been slapped on over the original.
Yesterday was it's first full run. Took it off the charger at 9AM and back on at about 2AM at a 39% charge. About 35 minutes of phone calls, half an hour of gtalk, and some market updates. Wifi off, 3G on, brightness at about 40%, bluetooth off, and CM-5.0.7.
I guess we'll see how long the good performance lasts.
mine arrived but lasts as the stock.. is this normal???

I've read many review that people's phones get around 20 minutes of extra heavy use while testing (so all radios on and looping a video). I don't have one, but I'd buy one.

That's why I just put my phone in my pocket with the screen against my leg, or in my coat or bag.
The pouch that comes with it is pretty decent I guess, nothing real special but if it had any sort of belt clip or hook or anything at all I would probably use it but it will work until I get the one I ordered:

Battery Thread
Ok so most of you know I have had the android for about 3 weeks. When I first got my hands on it I started using it right away and did not do a full charge for the first time use.
So I got 2 more the other day and decided to charge one of the new battery's for 12 hours and stick it into my phone.
I am very happy to say that the battery has lasted 30% longer then my first battery. I started using it today at 10am and still have 58% batter left. It is 5pm now
I have 3g switched on the screen turned down all the way. I surfed for about 30 minutes on 3G and did allot of text and about 20 minutes of talk.
I will give it another day and report back. But this is surely a huge plus.
Do you think is because u charge the battery longer for the first time? I heard that pre release G-1 were on Android 0.9 and the one coming out this week is already on 1.0? Is this different on your phones? does it make a difference when it comes to battery life?
My device was boxed and always ran 1.0 on it.
I am a firm believer in charging the battery all the way for first time use. And this has really proved my theory.
I currently have a wing. I currently keep my phone on fly mode while at work since I only use the calendar to remind me of appointments and meetings during the day. I turn on the phone at about 5pm and from that moment on I might be on the phone for 3 and 4 hours talking to my wife who is currently away. On weekend is worst I spend probably up to 6 and 7 hours. My wing is great when it comes to battery, I only charge my every night. how do you think G-1 will affect my life?

Me too, and with anything new I not only charge it all the way the first time, but I also run that first charge all the way down. Seems to help keep things in good condition. I recall reading something last year that with any new device it's best to wait until it's fully charged to use it and then on that first charge run the battery all the way down before recharging.
Thanks for the tip, as hard as it will be im just gonna let it charge up!!!
I'll be right in the middle of texting or on Facebook and the phone will randomly shut off, battery life isn't really a factor although it seems the less charge, the more shutdowns. I've had the phone for 3 weeks and it recently just started doing it. I have read up a little bit on the issue and It seems like a faulty battery or a bug in the SD card causes it. I did a factory reset and formatted the SD card and It's still happening. What is the best (Most affordable) replacement battery for these phones? Is the anker a good alternative or just OEM?

I did this and have not had any issues in over a month. I aslo got a new back case by tellin gthem my signal was really unstable. IF you are nice and tell them you dont have a credit card you can get them to escalate it and send without you haveing to give them your cc number.
So the replacement won't have the same problems as the OEM? Did they fix the issue? Why would I need a new back case, what's the point?
So I called. They said I need to provide a CC number, so in case I don't send the defective battery back they can charge me MSRP, how do I request to cancel the order? I think I'm just going to try and trade the phone for something else...
When the phone spazs out, and I turn it back on the battery is about 20% less. I completely drained it, charged it all night and its been on for 4 hours, It's currently at 16%

I had the exact same issue as yourself. I got a free replacement from t-mobile. It was a temporary fix as many other users had previously stated, Maybe lasted a week or two till the random shut downs returned. I converted my phone back to stock as per the directions on this forum warranty exchanged it with t-mobile for free. I received my new one, Used hasoon's toolkit, S-off etc... It has been working flawless ever since. Running Energy Rom.

I had a similar problem. For me it seems to be related to the battery/phone overheating. Removing the t-mobile cover I had on the phone seems to have reduced the random shut-downs.
When I have time, I'll likely be contacting HTC for a replacement battery.
I've never owned a phone that makes me as upset as this one, this random shut down issue is a real inconvenience, If the new battery doesn't fix the issue, I'm sending it into HTC getting it repaired and selling it, I'll even take 200$ for the damn thing just to get rid of it!

Same here "pending shipping" order on launch day.
I bought mine day one, no pre-order, and mine says pending as well. Called AT&T earlier this afternoon and they said it didn't even have a pending ship date, and the only people who would know anything about what's going on would be the warehouse. Naturally, there was no way for her to contact them. Going to call back today. May have been free, but I was told that I would receive it within a week. I haven't, therefore someone at AT&T is gonna pay for lying, lol. I'll report back if I make any headway.
Guy I talked to said they are on backorder, but it took him 30 minutes to get a straight answer. He said it'll still be around 10-14 day before mine even gets thought of when it comes to being shipped.

How well does it work? Do you find it too slow? Do you find the placement hard to get right, are the audio cues accurate?

Seems to work really well. It doesn't charge as fast as the usb but it's not too bad. I was at 86% yesterday when it arrived and it took less than an hour to get to 100%. I haven't tried any other placement other than lining it up parallel with my phone. Not sure what you mean by audio cue, but it does audibly indicate that it's charging about a second after you set the phone down and takes 10-seconds to realize that it's no longer charging once removed from the pad. The pad has a white LED indicator to show it's charging and goes off when fulling charged.

The fix is to not buy silly fake Chinese battery's from ebay.
Completely agree. That's why I have the official extended battery. Pointless paying good money for knock off, unofficial, ****e batteries. Worth the extra cash for the original branded kit that will actually work.

Had a launch Nexus 6p that I bought from the google store, I never purchase extended warranties and have never needed one since every device I've ever owned since my Treo 650 has lasted well beyond its useful life but was still perfectly functional. Hell, I still have a S3 rocking for my kid and it works fine all these years later.
A few months ago I started having the 15% shut off error. Noticed it, wasn't a huge deal because I rarely use the device that low. Few days ago it started getting progressively worse and now the device will turn off between 30-50% depending on the day. Obviously this isn't ideal.
Never had a device do that, ever. Was pretty disappointed actually as this is an obvious hardware issue and was contemplating skipping on Nexus / Pixel devices in the future, heck was even thinking of having an affair with an IPhone for a bit. It had been a long time (since the 3g) and sometimes change is good. The 6p and 5x have had a number of issues, enough that there are class action suits floating around.
Anyway, I wasn't going to call Google. I mean this device was well past warranty, no extended was purchased so why bother calling right? Well I got a wild hair and decided to do just that. Setup a return call and a minute later had someone calling me back.
Explained the issue, told him I wasn't sure if there was anything they could recommend or do but wanted to check. 5 minutes later he is sending me the email for RMA and new device.
Now technically Google didn't have to anything. I know that, I'm appreciative of their efforts to keep me happy. I never asked for nor demanded a replacement, it was offered and for that I am very grateful. I'm not sure if the class action lawsuits over 5x and 6p issues are causing them to be extra cautious, I don't know if this is really par for the course with them. I've never had issues in the past and hope I never do in the future.
Obviously it is preferable for the user to not have to deal with this crap but how a company responds to these issues is important. Easy to sing praise at a company for developing the perfect device that lasts you 4 years when most probably dump it in 2. Harder when the POS you bought is starting to die 14 months in and on hospice at 16 months and the issues are severe enough that class action is talked about. Either way, Google deserves some credit for stepping up to the plate when they didn't have to. I'm a happy user.
I can't say this will occur for everyone with the same issue. What I will say is that if you're out of warranty, don't let that keep you from calling and talking about the issue.
Thank you Google and the Google support staff. Service like that will keep me in Pixels and whatever from the google store forever.
I may try this soon because mine is doing the same thing...
I had the same issue on my XL.... shutting off with no warning after 2-4 hours at about 40-50%, yet I could boot into recovery and stay there until at least 20%. So had accelerated battery loss and an early shutoff.
Bought it open-box off Swappa, so had no Google receipt, but on a whim, opened a support issue (text) from my 6P, which worked fine. I was offered an exchange no-problem. I chose to send in my phone first and had the replacement in less than a week.
FWIW, I think my issue started when I flashed May update and charged it after using a QC 2.0 charger. I usually use a Qi charger and charge it overnight.
I had exactly the same, well outside the standard 1 year warranty. Used the online agent chat to explain the early shut off problem. They instantly suggested an RMA, I didn't have to beg or ask for a replacement. I Ended up getting a brand new phone in its retail box. I saw someone else in another thread say Google offered a full money refund as they didn't have a like for like replacement available. Well done Google!
I got a refurb.
That's awesome to hear. I think they're taking the bad press very seriously.
that was nice of them !
happy for you , btw. i quite often read about this issue from users.
but how exactly does it power off??
does it shut down by its own? like a complete shutdown?

Yup, just shuts down. If you try and reboot it is as if you are at 1%. Before shutting down it will show 15% or 30% left on the battery and then boom shutting down.

Me too. I have another 5 months with Nexus Protect.
Refurb came in today and what a total POS. Shuts off randomly from 30 seconds to 20 minutes. You can see the battery % getting all crazy from 93% to 73% to 83% then boom off. Going to call google tomorrow to let them know. Stupid thing died half a dozen times between setup and the apps finishing to download. They must have absolutely zero quality control over at their refurb center.
This will be my last Huwei device and my wife won't buy another LG product either. They really screwed the pooch on that device gen.
Giving me a full refund. Just have to send in both devices.
Mod please feel free to merge the two threads I looked on the first page and saw nothing when I posted.
How long did it take after doing the email stuff for people to get the replacement? People that got refurbished ones how did they look? My replacement is about to be ordered. google customer service is pretty awesome.

I love Google. They just took my word that I'd tried everything and couldn't sort it and sent a refurbished phone. It works perfectly and I love it! Now and then when you call you get the odd person who is hard to talk to but that is usually someone in an Indian call centre that doesn't really understand my problem. It took under a week for me. It can take up to two weeks but you should really get it within 5 working days.
I have the same horrible battery issue and am speaking to Google now. Do you think I should mention that I also have a cracked screen (but this is not why I am trying to get a replacement at all)? Or do you think I should say nothing and they wont have an issue still replacing it when I send it in?
EDIT: Nevermind, I mentioned it to the support person and assured him that it was not the reason for wanting a replacement and he said they cannot make the same exception anymore, but if I wanted, they could send me an advance refurb but then they'd bill me for the screen which would not be covered. He is having trouble telling me the screen cost though first...
Not sure if it's worth that for just a refurb at this point. POS phone. I told him I'll hold off for now.
I didn't opt for the "advanced" replacement (where they ship a phone first and charge my CC), yet they appeared to have shipped my refurb shortly after I shipped mine. I got my refurb about 3 business days after shipping mine and confirmation about 5 days after I had my phone that they had received my defective one. My refurb looked great (as did my defective phone)
Talked to support on chat and they took care of me (even though i didn't have a warranty and my phone is 2 years old) as a one time courtesy. Google customer service is pretty awesome! phone will be here within a few days. ?
google took care of me as well. my replacement will be in tomorrow. I have had my 6p since launch. only swapped out because of the obvious battery issue.
I'm facing the battery issue too, but the problem is that I live in Brazil and the 6P wasn't officially released here. I bought mine during a trip to US last year. I was thinking about buy a battery and try to replace it by myself but I'm afraid of shatter the camera glass during the disassemble.
So here is my question: how long is taking in average to get the refurb (in advance)? I'll be in Round Rock (near Austin) for a whole week next month but I'm not sure if it's enough time to do this exchange.
