[Q] Replacing HTC One X battery - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
I want to know how many charge-discharge cycles does HTC One X battery have?
Will the battery last more than 2 years? Quite uncommon, but I would not like to change my smartphone for quite some time (> 5 years ??).
I have read that due to uni-body design we cannot remove HTC One X battery.
So even if I want to get my device repaired after battery's life is over, can i not get the battery changed through HTC or some repairer?
Similar question for Samsung SII. I read that the Super AMOLED Plus screen gives lot of burn-in and other issues. Is it possible to get the screen replaced after it becomes unbearable. How much would that cost?
Thanks for replies in advance.
Regards,

Actually I'm also interested in this. I'm planning to use the device more than 2 years.
From what I saw from the attached image, battery can be changed from pins theorically after all.
I have not seen sellers of such battery. Anyone saw any ?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had contacted HTC via email as well as telephone. They said their service center can change battery if need be even after two years(not for free of course).
I already bought the phone based on this assurance.
Hope this helps.

about 200€ on ebay, but in the next two years surely the price decrease
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Well the thing I was wondering about these days is can we just replace one x battery with one x+?
I think it's possible, because everything is the same, I mean size and connection.
So, if you can buy htc one x+ battery, you can put it in your htc one x and have a nice upgraded 2100 mAh battery instead of 1800!

I'm wondering if the HOX will still be as solid and tight after tearing the entire thing apart and putting it all back together. Creaking along the edges sure is unwelcome.

The phone's battery is ok, but just turn the screen's brightness to low
Hello, I had many of the same concerns about this phone before I purchased it, however, after having the phone and using it for a while as well as reading about the battery life of the lithium polymer battery, I'm confident it will last quite a while. Just note that the screen does take up A LOT of juice, therefore I have a widget to change the backlight to whatever percentage I want...normally at 10-15 unless brighter is needed...it's still pretty bright at zero. Also, there are a few games that really kill the battery, so make sure to be near an outlet if you want to play those for very long. But for the average person's usage...the phone's battery charge will last for a whole day...maybe needing to plug it in once during the day and at night if you use it heavily like I do. I've read that lithium polymer batteries actually work a little different than lithium ions; where they don't have a set number of charges, but if you keep the battery in good health, it should last a lot longer overall than the L-ions do. I normally don't even charge up to 100 because of a few articles I read about these new batteries. I usually charge it when it gets down to 15-20 and take it off in the 90s... it's a very fast charge too so you don't have to wait forever for it.
Best widget for setting the brightness I found is called... Brightness level
Also make sure to get Battery HD Pro... it tells you exactly how long you need to charge it for...tells the percentage of charge in the upper left hand corner of the device...and give you the temp and health of the battery. They have a free and pro version...not sure the difference but the pro version is cheap and very helpful.

Also turning screen timeout down helps

2430MAH Battery to Increase Usage Time.

If you're like me and use your ChaCha all the time and can't help but notice it's incredibly poor lifetime. I have found a solution for you that does not require you to have a separate PowerBank.
Get this battery from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-H...084?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e66923a44
And Use My CamDroid 1.5 (Lightweight ROM). Updates available regularly to flash.
Enjoy, I have already tested the 2430MAH Battery from Japan with my ROM and it works like a dream.
TechMayhem
Very slim for a 2430MAH. Quite weird
Yeah I know, it seemed quite weired to me aswell but then they continue to say on other sites that it's a new type Japanese energy compressing technology??
It sounds out of the mobile world but it worked for me - give it try if you need the extra power. Free Shipping to UK Only.
Negative feedback for this guy relates mainly to these extra capacity batteries and how they are either worse than standard or just 1250 ones with a sticker on them.
Good luck, but I'm not going to be first to try it!
Sent from my Chacha
qbert456 i can assure the battery worked for me - if it didn't i would have posted a link saying why not to buy it immediately - but i took my time to test it.
I also checked the negative reviews and none of them are for the ChaCha - there all for different HTC's and I also checked the Positives, the guys sells thousands of products and has received more good feedback for batteries then bad all together.
Don't worry about a few cases that are not even for this phone, it is an amazingly awesome and provides an outburst of battery life.
Have you tried CamDroid 1.5?? I got a PM by someone saying it was not too bad afterall.

Would like to try new ROMs, but I like all the HTC Sense widgets, and this ROM is missing some of my most-used ones
Thx for the battery link. Cheers.
No problem and thanks for providing feedback
I'm using freakcha currently, will give yours a go either today or tomorrow tho.

I better have 2 batteries on me. Always one battery full in my wallet
couldn't you benchmark both batteries?
play a video loop on both and check the time it plays?
just to let us see how much improvement is there
this would be helping wouldn't it?
or jsut get circular battery indicator,
it shows, when it has been taken off the wall and what charge it had then./ how much is left.
this would be simply the best method without efforts i assume
My mate bought me this battery as I moaned up the pub about battery life.
As expected, based admittedly on only one day, its not as good as stock one so far, depleating at a quicker rate.
But this is by no means a long or scientific test!
Still for the money (free to me) can't complain, but 2340? Not likely it really is 2340 tbh , as expected.
Will report back with further use!
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using Tapatalk
I ordered this battery and finally got it yesterday. Charged it up, and after 12+ hours of background syncing, a few phone calls and texts, and some browsing, battery life is still at 90%! So far, I'm very impressed, and I hope that I can extend the battery life even further with additional charging.
You sure its not the placebo effect??
Mine , ordered from same seller, is not much different!
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using Tapatalk
You may be right. Less than one day's usage may not be too accurate. I'll give the new battery a month and report back my findings then!
How many days ?
how do you charge it? Isn't there any other way instead in phone. I want to use it as first battery and keep my original one in case this dies. Any suggestions?
what about the tests and findings? any updates on the battery's life?
I've ordered it and I'm waiting it. Will let you know when its here, and what the performance is.
i have just placed an order too... shall check back when it has arrived.
having said, it would be great if the dialer issue can be plugged. my phone seems to be quite afflicted by it.
as i know this battery need to have a 1st, 2nd & 3rd charge for 10hours for the battery to have good result. do not use external charger due to some external charger will stop charging once it's fully charged & just maintain at certain % like for 90% will charge again when it drop below that. not very sure cause i have yet try it xD

Polarcell battery?

I am running an unofficial CM 10.1 ROM on my DHD and with 'slight' use I can probably get a full day out of the battery. Prior to the CM 10.1 ROM I was running a custom rooted ROM based on the final official android 2.3 ROM from HTC and I remember the battery lasting much longer (over 12-months ago). I won't be moving back to Gingerbread but want to improve my battery life and have seen good reports of the PolarCell batteries
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390392597069?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Has anyone replaced their stock battery with one of these? Any comments?
Andy
Would be interested in knowing this also. Dont suppose you took the plunge and bought one?
Hi guys
I would be interested too on this question, or another battery brand.
Only want that someone with experience tell us if possible which battery and what brand/model is the best nowadays to buy to our great Desire HD?
And if you can post the link where to buy and maybe some buyer reviews, would be wonderfully.
Because are too many "Fake" vendors nowadays.
But for some questions that I asked to other few members and one recognized developer, they said that one of best batteries are:
First - Oem
Second - Mugen
Third - Anker
....
That PolarCell I never heard do not know =S
Cheers
I guess dhd battery is a pain in the a** for everybody, I suggest you to go for sensation xe, evo 3d type batteries. There are plenty of ways to do it (with battery door or without) I was personally using without battery door because I was already using silicon cover for all phone. Btw you need to apply a small copper wire for external wireless antenna which is already built-in with your original battery door. Search for thread in this section you will find Evo3d battery thread. I have changed to HOX but still my wife is using my beloved DHD with 1950mah Mugen. Believe me it gives equal amount of satisfaction for this money. If you don't want to spend that amount, go for original Amaze 4g battery (which has the highest capacity when compare with evo 3d if I don't remember wrong) still you will be satisfied with battery life.
Please don't ask me, which rom am I using or how is battery life. It depends on people and how they are using.
I can give several examples, heavy usage with all the time 3g, bluetooth, mail sync, whatsapp, viber, browsing, auto brightness but no games and no wireless: it will handle 1.5 day.
or
Moderate usage, all the time mobile network on, a bit whatsapp, several regular calls, a bit browsing, no gaming and wireless off. My wife can easily manage for 2.5 days.
One more thing, if you will have 1950 mugen, your battery will stuck at %15, don't panic it will stay there for at least several hours (according to your usage ofc). Its some kind of a bug. I don't know if somebody found a solution.
I hope, my reply will enlighten you a bit Cheers!
Been using a Polarcell since october 2012 from the manufacturer CellePhone: (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004I227RK)
New, it lasts the same as the original for me, that means about 3 hours of screen on with about the 70% of the total battery time, automatic brightness but mainly outdoors, so I bet that the auto brightness is actually full brightness the most part of the time, using 3G and no "data sync demanding apps running in background" except whatsapp and the usual google services.
I use to charge the battery every night while I sleep and even though I'm aware that overcharging a long time is harmful I use to let it charge until I wake the next morning.
With this usage schema, I'm facing today a 20% loss approximately, because the battery skips from 80% to 100% when charging.
So is more than a year of usage, around 400 charge cycles, and for 10€ is a good investment for me.
Being from a german company inspires more confidence than chinese clones.
Hope this helps to all of you folks!
A friend of mine picked one up and he had nothing but good things to say. I'll update this post once he replies to my text for exact details!
Bought one a few days ago from http://www.ebay.de/usr/wannsee-electronic (Germany).
The one i bought is for HTC Sensation, sold as 1800 mAh. To fit in DHD i remove the "film" and im surprising to see that on the aluminiumcase of the accu is written 1700 mAh.
Contact the merchant today and wait for an answer. So I didn't know it depends on Polarcell or the reseller...
I just got one myself for Desire S, it is a 1600mAh battery. Been using it for 3 days and I'm quite satisfied with this product.. I also bought one Anker battery for Desire HD....
I can't really compare those cuz its on a different device and different ROM. But I feel that both are doing fine for now..... You can give it a try.
Btw, Anker battery comes with full package, it comes with a box and manual.... The polarcell that I received just comes with a battery with no box, nothing else..
Maybe I would suggest you to get Anker.
Don't forget to use Battery Monitor Widget to see if its actualy a good battery.
I got one today for my old DHD.After couple days of usage I'll post and my opinions.

I'm very satisfy from this battery.After couple charges for 12 hours each now my battery seems very stable. I'm running 30 hours and more with enabled 3g all the time.30-40 minutes calls including viber and 2 hours and a half display on.I think that this is a very gods result for this product.....cost 13€ .

I've been using one here in India from the beginning August now. Its a good alternative to the M8 if you have a tight budget. I have no qualms about getting this phone, it's performance is at par with the M8 and definitely better than Z2, S5 and note 3, all of which my friends have. The 13mp camera does its job well, excellent shots in daylight, decent everywhere else. Apart from the different camera, a polycarbonate shell and a few other quirks, it's basically a M8.
From the above mentioned time, I've NEVER faced any lag. If anything, my phone performed on par, even even better at places, with a friends iPhone 6. The dot view cover is a good addition as an accessory.
If it's a dual SIM high end smartphone you're looking for, you can't go wrong with the E8. If you want to know anything in particular, feel free to ask.

1. Charges in around 2 hours with the charger provided with the box. Maybe lesser, I'm not sure because I charge overnight. But it's mostly a percent a minute. You can get better times by getting the 1.5A output charger.
2. GSam Battery Monitor shows :
Battery Life : 1d 13h
Screen On : 5h 30m
Basically easily lasts a day. Averages around 5-6h screen on time. And I have my sync on, use social networks vehemently, although I keep the battery saver on always (just the underclocking cpu option), except gaming.

I've heard from many people that one shouldn't charge overnight (basically it shouldnt be overcharged) and that it decreases the life of the battery ? What's your opinion on that please ; as i used to do that, but now stopped charging overnight as it keeps charging the battery even when it is full.....

From whatever knowledge I have of the batteries, they stop charging once they are fully charged. So there is no way they get "overcharged". As and when the battery drops a little, it again charges back itself. Which barely happens, because my phone loses only about 1-2% battery overnight if left idle.
Ideally, this view suggests that this won't have any impact on the overall life of the battery. I did the same with my One S for about 1 and a half years. It didn't show any signs of reduced battery life then.
Yes, different people do have different views on this topic, but I like to stick to my idea.
Hi, I also wanted to ask a question if you have the dual sim version. When using 3g or 4g data connection on sim1 can you use sim2 to either call or send sms?
Thanks
The only problem with E8 is less Custom ROMs . I haven't got any better custom ROM other than Bin Droid, less customisation but better than nothing. At least Bin Droid is providing 4.4.4 and HTC Eye and more colored themes :thumbup:

I absolutely agree. The only problem with this (awesome) phone is the lack of developer support. even on Xda, I can only found custom rom for the dual sim version. Mine is the single sim. :crying:
Otherwise. It's really a good phone. There are some times that makes me (kinda) envy M8, like the metal body, the infrared blaster, and especially the customization. Anyway.. we just have to wait and see about the lollipop update. if they filled their promise to update < 3 months, I'm a happy dude.

LG G5 Extended batteries from third party sources?

Alright. Just like what happens with many smartphones, third party sources have started releasing batteries with a little more juice than the Original LG Batteries of 2800mAh. I have to admit it, i was kind of counting on it because it happens a lot of time. But how reliable could they be? Would NFC work with them? Will it make our phone explode? From 2800mAh to 3250mAh is 450 more juice to drain. Has someone tested it? I've posted the link and a couple of pictures.

Can you please also try the NFC feature if you have another phone with NFC capability? And also, whether the SOT improves or if it remains the same. and finally, in comparison to the other battery, how long does the phone last , based on your average usage (say: wifi on/off, usual brightness or auto brightness, etc. ) Let us know.

I have tested for two day and although I haven't gotten any numbers to prove it...the battery works great. It does last longer with the same usage...but I wouldn't say that the difference is huge but it does have a little more endurance. I'd say that if you are looking for an extra battery...this is not a bad choice especially just to keep as a spare. Everything works fine as well.
Also...it may take a few cycles to get the battery calibrated...my first discharge I was disappointed because it dad extremely fast but after letting it run down and charging it a few times it seems to last a little longer than stock. I'll leave the battery in for a while and if I get time to collect screen on before I charge it I will.

I think one would see a real difference if it had 900mah ane up more than usual. I was kind of expecting for that though. Hahaha. But i have the feeling they will release an eveb bigger one. Something like 4000mAh+ but you have provided us with great detail. Thank you. If you have the SOT in the future feel free to provide if
I doubt we will see anything much larger in the same size. Batteries have limited capacity/cm3, and LG, being one of the best and largest battery manufacturer, maxed out on that value. The problem here is the physical size of the battery cell...

They managed to do that by replacing the back cover with their own "case", including an extra-size cell. The G5's different battery removal mechanics make it a lot less viable option, especially adding the bottom module (which houses not just the USB connector, but speakers, microphone, and some antennas) as a cost.
My original comment was directed at the allegedly 3200/3250mAh cells popping up for 5-10$ a piece. There's a reason why official LG cells are 25$, and these after-market ones cost less than half of that. Sure, LG needs to cover the development costs, but I'm pretty sure the after-market ones are so cheap mainly because of corner cutting. And that comes with extended hazard. But if you feel like ruining your 600$+ phone because you went cheap and paid 10$ instead of 25$ for a battery... It's your call.

They could create a module similar to the Cam+ that has an 'extra' battery in it. Maybe slimmer but further up the case.

Yeah I could see someone make a module that has a slim but like a little bit more mah
Check out this thread I did for the Sensation (ages ago). It's not relevant to this phone, other than to say that you'll recognize some of the labels:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753726
The TLDR: Actual mAh was was tested reliably (external discharge, outside of the phone) and batteries with the same label style as the two linked in the OP actually had roughly 30% and 50% of their stated capacity, and much less than stock.
I've got a G5 coming this week. I wouldn't be against doing another thread like the one I did in 2012 on the Sensation, if there's demand.
I have this one coming, so i will let you all know what i find. There seems to be mixed reviews, and even my Stock Battery had to be calibrated up/down charge for 3-5 times before i had good life.

The mixed reviews are in part my fault. I'm one of the reviewers with that battery and for some reason Amazon will not post my updated review, I've tried 3 different occasions to post follow ups but they won't post.
What I learned with that battery is it works, only it does give me the invalid battery message and the phone shuts off but only if I reboot the phone at 100% battery life, upon booting the phone reports 50% charge and shuts off. You have to restart it a couple times until it's used a percentage or 2, then it boots fine. I emailed the seller about it and they responded with the cells are tested and they only use quality parts, they sent me another battery but that one does the same as the original. With the issue with the note 7 and other phones/chargers I stopped using the battery. It might be perfectly safe but I can't determine that and the risk is not one I am willing to wait and see. Here's a link to another topic here on XDA where I responded about this battery.

So, after the first full charge and discharge to 11%, I'm getting very good times better than stock. This will probably increase with a few more charging cycles. My opinion is this battery is definitely more mA. I will review more when later.

4000mAh Asus battery replacement for OnePlus 6

Hello guys, so there's a local mobile repair shop here in my country where they offer legit Asus battery as a replacement to the stock 3300mAh of our OnePlus 6. I'm just wondering, is there anyone here tried the same thing on their OP6? I've already tried searching on google and here on XDA but I'm afraid there's none, so I'm asking this here.
So, the battery mod is a 4000mAh from Asus which can perfectly fit our OnePlus 6 device without any additional space/bulk on the inside. I already have a schedule for the battery replacement this week and hopefully I would see improvements over my aging stock battery.
Without playing any games, I am averaging 6.5-7hrs SoT with a day and a half of battery until it reaches below 15%, while when playing games, I am only getting 3-4hrs of SoT.
I would post here some screenshots of changes/improvements on the battery life after I received the battery replacement.
Feel free to comment anything with regards to the matter. Thanks guys! ??
As long as the battery connector is the same I think it should be fine. But I'd be seriously worried about Dash Charge. Not all batteries can take that wattage. Like a week ago someone in my group shared photos of a guy with a battery replacement in his Poco and his phone exploded in his pocket and guy had really badly burned/melted skin on his thigh.
So be careful with that, monitor temperatures and stay safe
I would be very wary of non-standard batteries in this phone unless they are specifically approved for usage, i.e., VOOC/Dash charge supported. The fact that the connection may fit means nothing.
Otherwise you're risking a fire or explosion. Charging protocols for li-ion batteries are nothing to mess around with.

I watched a tear down of the OnePlus 6 several months ago and saw that doing a battery replacement on this phone is one of the easiest I have ever seen. So easy in fact that I often wonder if OnePlus made it easy for those of us who are willing to do the work so as to keep our phones running a long time!

Hi
Please post here some screenshots of changes/improvements on the battery life after you received the battery replacement and the model number of asus battery.
We are interested here . thanks
his phone probably exploded...i hope he didnt die...maybe when he gets another OnePlus 6..he'll join us..
OFFTOPIC:
Any place where we can buy original batteries?
One year past and already notice decrease more 20% life battery....
As Cleruzinek said, It's NOT wise to use non-oneplus battery to replace the original, unless u certainly know what u'r doing...at least u'r familar with oneplus "voltage control" in the OP circuit board; battery without ISO proven is quite dangerous and cause trouble...for safely is better stick to original's haha! @Mord0rr Taobao or E-bay have...check those out!
TABAO don´t know how to buy...
Ebay....just say i don`t trust those sources as legitime item....thats why i ask.
When I change by back cover ( bought it as broken) I thought I could as well change the battery, which is very easy. I bought it not at Ebay but from a well known danish provider. It looks and feels exactly as the battery that was there before, and works fine now several months later. So I would look for one from a local provider for spare parts for oneplus.
