I finally stopped calling Moto a couple of years ago about getting the battery replaced, which is the only thing wrong with my watch. It appears there is nowhere on the face of the earth where that can be done. Does anyone have any leads? I find it hard to believe there's no option.
It's a 5 y.o. device.
Just drop it and get a new one.
It will be better anyway.

Get the battery model number and go from there.
There's got to be one you can jam in there or solder in. If you wuv it -that- much.
Aliexpress/alibaba has batteries the only issue is the internal name, basically each model can have two different batteries like mine is the 46mm and there are two variants. Not sure why Motorola did this. Like mine was FW3S for a moto Sport 46mm.
I did get a new battery from China and a new display too and made the swap by myself. It looks brand new now even though I switched to Apple shortly after. Time by time I still turn it on and charge it so it is preserved

I've been searching the web for 2 days and it seems no one makes OEM replacement batteries for our beloved Shamu.
Post here if anyone has the scoop on battery dealers or manufacturers.
Soon we'll see some battery failures (hope not of course) as our phones get older and wiser
Thanks and flash on....
Yeah I've been searching with no luck. My nexus randomly reboots and does the optimizing apps thing all the time but nitnwhen its on charge, so I believe its the battery. I would like to try a replacement anyway. Hope someone finds one or if any one has a broken one who wouldnt mind selling their battery

If you are running CM12 or 12.1 (maybe newer ASOP too haven't been running that) make sure you are updating your gapps package you are using. I found that I was having these issues and once I updated my gapps package it went away.

I was using cm12 when the issue started but I am now totally stock with the boot loader locked and it is still happening
Do you think this is an issue with how cm12 deals with the turbo charger?
My battery appears to be swelling so I really hopefully a new battery will solve the issue. I have found a company who will replace the battery for about £70 but unfortunately they are unwilling to sell me just the battery. Still got to be worth a go I think. If I take the plunge I will let you know if it works. Seems a few folk are having the random reboot and optimizing apps thing,I wonder how many of them are using cm12.
Thanks for the reply
I couldn't find a replacement battery anywhere so contacted Motorola in the hope they would replace it for me, i was expecting to pay a lot for this as i bought the device second hand from eBay with no original receipt or proof of purchase, to my absolute delight they fixed it for free under warranty and didn't seem to mind that it was second hand etc they checked my iemi number and sorted it out within a week. i'm so happy with Motorola for this, they have earned a loyal customer

I ordered a replacement midframe a while back from ETrade Supply and they stated the same thing about it. It looked the part but had one screw that was philips instead of torx and has some inset serial number lettering missing on the plastic flaps on the inside together with the CE euro logos near the USB port. I'm inclined to believe it's real because I think it would be hard to reproduce it so perfectly.
If someone buys this battery I would like to see the results. To change the midframe I had to transplant the battery and It's very easy to do so. (You don't need to use heatguns at all) just a thin guitar pick. I would avoid pushing a needle through the hole in the sim card tray as you will most certainly pierce or deform your plastic back cover.
The only thing that's got me worried with the Nexus 6 is the reduced battery life in 2 years, so having a replacement battery would be nice.
The issue is about screen getting glitched output. I don't think this is a software issue. There is some hardware issue because I tried flashing 5.0, 5.0.2, 5.1.1 still problem persists. Randomly at any time the glitched screen like seen in the pic is popped up in between from any app or just home screen. First i thought some app may be causing this but its not the issue. I deleted all the apps still this problem stays.

I've been spreading word in xda about the same issues. If you search the Q/A forum, you'd find too many people having this issue. This is due to a faulty GPU when the device heats up excessively. Recurrent issue in a Nvidia chip. If you bought it recently within 30 days on eBay, I'd suggest you return your device and claim your money back. Else I'm afraid you are screwed since neither HTC nor Google offer warranty if purchased through unofficial sources in India.

Now that what i feared. Let me see if they will take this back. Anyway thanks for the info that was really helpful
Unfortunately your Nexus 9 is toast. This happened to my first one and it got so bad it would happen during boot and I couldn't get any further. HTC was next to unless. Delt with them for 3 weeks trying to get an exchange. They are clueless. They wanted to try flashing stock image over and over. I'm like dude, I'm a Nexus owner. Don't you know your customer base? Anyways, best buy agreed to exchange it for a new one if I bought their premium protection plan, which I did gladly. But it is a hardware failure. There's no fixing it.
I just had my day one nexus replaced for the same issue last week. Had been getting worse for months. I called warranty service, told them about the screen corruption/noise/lockup issue needing a mainboard replacement. sent my tablet back and they overnited me a replacement that appears brand new (mine was mint condition as well). Still has lightbleed and so-so buttons but works great and I've put it through its paces. Only thing I had to tell them was the serial # but I was the original amazon purchaser.
Is it a newer build date than your original?
I had an experience similar to techiedj's. Got my old N9 replaced by Google a few weeks ago. Replacement looked brand new, but is actually an older built with slightly crappier buttons. Curious how long this one will last now...
These are the symptoms that I saw: At some point the screen started to flicker for a few seconds, then froze, and slowly turned black. After a few second I could turn on the display again. The area on the back next to the camera had become hot, but apps that read the sensor values did not really show high temperature (50 degrees or so). A good way to trigger it was to open Chrome and open multiple pages in a short time (opening different links in new tabs). Surprisingly, seemingly GPU intense games were less affected by this than Chrome. Factory reset did not help, even when I skipped the initial login/restore apps step.
Hopefully they aren't all doomed to this fait at some point. I have best buys replacement plan now, so this this can die early Jan 2017 and I'll get whatever the new Nexus is then.
Not really. HT4AJ I think it was, HT4AY on this one.

I went from an AE to an AF. Hard to believe best buy still had old stock, but I guess they didn't sell a lot of these. Buttons are nearly perfect on this one though. Way more tactile and the volume up isn't sunken in.
I ended up talking to a phone tester that works for LG here in San Diego. She's from South Korea, she deals directly with corporate in Seoul and translates for them. I told her my V10 is a glitchy freakhouse and that it was all her fault.
She said they know that a certain percentage of the phones are defective with overheating, GPS failure and other issues. She didnt tell me what percentage though so not sure how wide reaching this is. I realize that missing fact makes this a little less valuable info but I thought it was interesting enough to share.
No product is perfect. I've dodge most of the issues I see here in the forum, only heating issue I had was trying the set up a email with Exchange server.
Like you said a number would be interesting. Did she indicate it was a hardware or software issue?

She didnt and wouldnt know and I'll tell you why. She explained their process. The testers just sit in an office and play with the phones, they dont use them in their daily lives. Then they send all issues to LG R&D who are supposed to diagnose and fix the issues.
Maybe they have other people doing more in-depth desting, I dont know but she is a contract employee of LG.

I'm not sure what your intention is here but if we dont bring things like this to light then we're not doing anything to help all the people who are getting bad GPS, dead pixels, etc. that is screwing up their daily lives and causing a ton of hassle. I'm not an activist but I'm also not going to completely ignore it when this phone got me all excited, cost me $700 and then turned out to screw up my week and waste a bunch of my time.

Yup, I agree. I'm going to return the one I have today or tomorrow. I want this phone to work so bad. I might try a new one, one more time.
Yea, not sure if its true but I have read in many forums how phones don't work properly out of the box and most were fixed by doing a reset on the phone. The first V10 I had was great except for WiFi. I get over 100 Mbps at home and every device gets the same speed. However, the V10 was reaching 10 Mbps...after the reset it worked great and speed was up. I did end up exchanging for a new one (just to make sure I had a good phone, why I got to do a reset to fix a new phone) and the new V10 is great, out of the box. I get GPS lock quick, great WiFi and no lag.

Since english is not my primary language I will do an extraordinary effort to do this...I've passed for 4 V10's already. I was waiting by 9.00am October the 30th to get this wonderful device LG announced that hit every single check mark that I always wanted in a smartphone. My first impressions should've sufficed cause the first one they brought was scratched out of the box, yes, the metal bands were scratched, so obviously I asked for another and that one was ok at least on he outside.
After less than a month I started to notice some weird behavior when displaying some content with the brightness maxed to 100%...dead pixels everywhere( I made a post). I exchanged that unit to and to make the story short I am with my 4th V10(counting the scratched one) and this one has "only" one dead pixel(or an array cause I don't think we can spot one pixel on this devices with our bare eyes) with no other issues so am keeping it fighting my OCD every time I think about it. I don't want to call T-Mo again and put another exchange request cause I know it will come with dead pixels and/or other more problematic issues.
LG quality control is a joke, at this price point dead pixels policy should be 0.

I suspect most of the "complaints" are propaganda from the competition
For complaints. Try a different brand if your not happy with LG. Make both you and LG happy, and move on.
I have had my V10 since December (from T-Mobile). Initially no problems to report, but the image retention issue has become progressively worse (as I type this, the image of this site is being temporarily "burned in"), and the GPS has only recently been failing to connect for navigation. my father also got a V10 the same day, but does not report these issues. User activity may be leading to a faster declining lifespan of phone, but both phones have had a drastic increase in overheating since receiving the Marshmallow update, which may be playing a role in the even greater descent into decomposition.
I've been a big fan of LG phones for years, but the V10 may not be able to keep up with the demand (I'm 19, so like most millennials, I use my phone constantly-possibly why I have this issue)
So my LG V10 has been perfect from day one. Now lets assume that every post on this thread is factual.
Then all we can do is say sorry it was you that got the bad phone, if you add all the posts here it's still less the half a percent bad phones, that's a pretty good number.
Wondering if this is a common issue with these.
I got this tablet for my son during the first "Tablet On Us" promotion last year and it's a piece of junk. He's had issues with it basically within a few months of getting it. The biggest one is it reboots and goes into a bootloop once it gets to around 30% battery. I'm assuming the battery % is actually reading way off, hence the battery is dead or about dead even though it reads 30%.
Is there something I can try? Flash a custom rom? Factory reset?
Thanks.

It's clearly a battery problem. I had same issue with my OPO. Just replace your battery
If its still under warranty, change it. I changed two (son and daughter ones) already. and i think my wife's one is starting to do it as well.. always happens at 30%. The device is great except for this damn battery thing.
if you got it thru t-mobile I bet it still under warranty. call them. or call lg.. But i think t-mobile is the better option. They order a new one for you and send it to your local store. you'll go and pay $20 for the exchange fee. If you go thru LG, the warranty should be in effect but you have to send the tablet in.. and wait.. at least with tmobile direction, you get a tablet right away. I rather pay the extra few bucks and get one right away. shipping to LG maybe $8-10?

Sorry, completely missed that you replied. I think I'm going to give that a try. Replacement batteries are $80 on eBay, not worth my normal DIY at that point.
I'll see what T-Mobile says. Glad I'm not the only one with the issue.
Bro today i tried readback utility and its failed.
But it worked with k3note. Also worked for lenovo A7000+ and successfully fetched recovery.img for both devices
Mtk drivers installed properly. But dont know where it went wrong?
I think oppo managed not to respond while power off.
And also i searched that oppo will fully prevented fastboot services since 2016
https://forum.xda-developers.com/r7-plus/help/decision-oppo-bootloader-fastboot-t3348114
So all ptovided resources brought Nill out come for my device.
Started hating my device.
And specially thanking for ur efforts made. And also for the time and patience u invested.
Anyone know of a compatible battery for these? Batteries are $80 on eBay and can't find them "for parts" cheap either. Curious if you can take another similar sized battery and just splices the wires.
just wanted to chime in that I am also suffering from this. Had these issues for the past 6 months and sadly missed the warranty period.
I had to fall back on my 5 year old samsung tablet for my son.
I used to work in wireless and my experience lead me to the phrase, "LG, Lucky if its Good.
I broke from this belief to give them a shot years later only to find nothing has changed with their quality.

So, my phone died a boot loop death. With warranty left til April 2018 Huawei agreed to repair it however after several calls and four weeks of waiting, Huawei have now admitted they no longer make parts for the 6P and are going to send me a gold Huawei Mate 9 (I have no choice in the colour) however it will take them another two weeks and it will not have a UK charger, but a European one.
Has anyone who didn't get their 6P through Google have a similar experience?
Not true, my motherboard went bad and they repaired it out of warrenty, also the battery and screen were replaced, I just got it back last week.

Maybe it's just here in the UK/EU where they're having these issues. I too had a replacement screen, speaker and Bluetooth module earlier this year as a speaker died.
I'm waiting for over a month now for parts needed for simple battery replacement here in Poland.

Contact Huawei and see what they say. My mate 9 arrived yesterday. So far it seems like a worthy successor to the 6P and is much better in terms of build quality. The only issue I had is that they sent me one with a European charger which means I've had to buy a separate UK charger to enable its supercharging function.
Good luck.

I didn't give them the device - we've discussed that I'll do that once they have all the parts needed so I won't be without a phone for long.
Also I'm not interested in getting other Huawei phone in exchange as I want clean Android, not one with OEM skin on top of it.
That's a pain. I'd speak to Huawei again as it's against UK law for them to provide you the phone without a UK plug for a retail product so the same likely applies to a warranty replacement product. I had my battery replaced a couple of weeks ago but that took less than a week and all went smoothly. Battery life is great now so I seem to be one of the lucky ones.
Best of luck getting it sorted.

Yeah, it's not really a huge issue. If you do still want to get in touch with Huawei I'd suggest their online chat support. It's normally pretty quick to connect you with someone.
