Was wondering is it possible to fit nexus 5x battery into nexus 5 without any mod? Since there's a post about putting LG G2 battery into nexus 5
Why would u want to do this, and what would be the purpose, is there any gain from it? Why not just get the 5x?

Interested in this as well. It might be a better fit than the G2 battery, requiring less work.

Yeah but cant find any info on how big 5x battery is
I'm guessing he has a n5, and only want to change the battery, assuming n5x battery is better than n5 and already available on the market.

Keeping my eye on this thread. As soon as I seen ifix it tear down of the 5x the other day and seen that the 5x battery placement. From the video it looks similar size.

You're going to need to do some type of modding anyway to get it to work. Judging from the ifixit pics the ribbon cable in too far to right so you'll have to unsolder the original battery pcb onto the 5x battery. If the battery is a mm or two taller you might be able to squeeze it in after removing the black plastic piece on battery pcb.
So anybody found anywhere to get their hands on nexus 5x battery?

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PRE ORDER, DUE IN ON THE 4TH MARCH 2013 FROM HTC
Batter Usage with the 2100mah

By the way, he removed the u-shaped rubber which is pasted on the back case .
Thanx to kr1st1an for the pics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jGY2N2h1U Seems like the connector is the same...maybe it will work...
But wouldn't the size be a matter, since it is a big battery!

There's really only way to find out.
A lot of times you can get a exteneded battery that is a little bigger than stock that is the same size. The One X battery might fit, it's only 150mAh bigger.
I would guess it doesn't fit/work.
Why would HTC bother using 2 different batteries if they could use 1. Having to source more different parts is never a Good Thing in manufacturing.

Why? The same reason they left out NFC in the One S, Also the One X has a bigger screen so it needs a little more juice to get the same battery life.
I know this thread is a few days old now, but thought I might have a little insight. Back when the Evo and Incredible came out (very similar relationship to One X / One S) the Evo standard battery WAS the Incredible extended battery. Same part number and everything, and they were exactly the same physical size! So I'm not promising the One X battery will work, but there's definitely a good shot.
The current 1650mAh battery looks pretty big, so that 1800mAh may actually fit. The work needed to open the case seems to much to replace a battery.

is it 1650MAH?
theres nobody who can tell if the HTC One X battery fits into the One S?
If that is the case, the battery of the One X+ should also fit and has 2100mAh!!

honestly, for just a 1800 mAh it's not even worth the disassemble, I'd do it for the one x+ battery though
i would say it's not possible. the connector for the One X is on the left side the One S is right. altough the battery seems a bit bigger (what I've seen in videos)
you are right about the connector

the battery in the pictures on the site (see OP) does not look like it has any notches or cutouts indicating direction of installation (it looks like a square more or less) and could probably be installed upside down, allowing for the fact that the connector of the X and S are on different sides, but you would have to twist the wires over so that the connection could be made, and I am not sure that they have that much give...
honestly, getting a portable charger isn't that bad.. they hold at least one charge and are pretty small in size.
even if ONE S has a bigger battery, it certainly wont hold more then 2000mAh, and probably cause the same as a 3000-4000mAh portable charger.
bought a 1800mah from eBay.took me 15mins to install it and its working no problem. Just have to flip the battery around so the side with the logo and writing is facing the inside. All the wires match up exactly.
Took this pics with my tablet,, sorry for the quality.

The G2 used a "unique stepped design" (says LG) that allows it to fit a physically larger battery in it. N5 will just be the standard flat shape.
Thus, the answer is no.

There might be enough room vertically to fit this larger battery:

On the other hand, notice the empty space on top of the battery (in between the battery and camera). If one were to grind down the little vertical walls, it may be possible that a larger flat battery like from the Optimus G Pro may fit.
Hopefully someone will feel adventurous enough to investigate more into this once they receive their Nexus 5

Uh, you mean grinding away the back of the phone where the NFC antenna, Qi charging coil, and potentially even the cellular/wifi antennas are? Yeah, good luck with that!

No, I'm referring to small the vertical spacer walls that surround the battery as you can see in the picture. Specifically, the one on top of the battery. This may allow you to fit a battery that is longer in length. Just being hopeful here...
If you're referring to the grey area in that photo above the battery, that's only visible because there's a giant electronics board that's missing. You could remove the vertical wall but it'd only buy you an extra millimeter or so, nowhere near enough to fit a new battery in it.
I'm kind of interested in this, I wonder if a company will find a way to fit in a larger battery

Hey guys. I've tested this on my Note 4 and it fits! The volume rocker, power button and S-Pen slots all line up. The case does protrude a bit on the sides, however it is very minor and I am now using this as my daily driver.
This does Rapid Charge passthrough for the phone and has a full spare USB-A slot to charge a second device (not rapid charge though). The battery itself does not rapid charge in nor out but passes the rapid charge through to the phone while charging the battery.
Pictures to come.

Interesting.
I'd like to see those pics when you can. I'm interested in seeing how it looks on the phone.
How does the case affect the phone weight? I've never played with the case.

If this one works I wonder is others will work too?
That's not a good idea i think.
You will loose sound cause the speaker is covered though.
Interested to see if this works. I find it frustrating to use the 10,000 mah extended battery from zerolemon as it never reads correctly even with the beast mode kernal that has the zero lemon fix. Post those pictures please.
i doubt about fitting part cause of note 5 camera n flash position compare to note 4 .
Good point
Are you using correct zero lemon kernal with your note 4 not hundred percent accurate but very good
can we see some pictures of your note 4 with the note 5 battery? i will get one asap if this really fits well.

Sorry, this mod was good, but I moved to the Huawei Mate 8 too fast after this and didn't take pictures before selling the phone with the case.

OK no problem, but how much more bulky was the phone? Does it become bulky like other zerolemon products or is it a slim style? Thanks for getting back to me even though ur not on the note 4 anymore. Do you like the mate 8?

Same! I don't think this mod would ever work properly.

There's no way that this case would fit a Note 4 and be a good idea. 1. The battery case completely covers the speaker and no sound is present. 2. The camera flash and camera itself are not located in the exact areas, whereas you'll be interfering with the lens etc. 3. The charging I this thing socks cause the connection is done thru a modified male micro USB connector which takes literally twice as long to charge and the correct battery. 4. Unless you have insurance on your phone, why risk 2 millimeters of loose play on the side of the TPU case? In my opinion, the most obvious choice, would be to use the correct battery with the correct phone. That's just my opinion, lol

So I broke my Nexus 5's screen like a year ago, both the glass and the LCD are really damaged, I can barely see anything on it. The battery is damaged too.
Since I'm now rocking a Nexus 6P I don't actually need another phone, so I'm planing to give a new life to my Nexus 5 as a computer, specially now that "N" is coming with split screen and everything, I think my Nexus 5 would be a nice computer/set top box for media and navigating. I'm planning into keep both cameras pointing in different directions, in order to be able to make videocalls and also use it as a security camera and have two different angles of the room.
I wanna remove all the pieces from the device's body and rearrange them with a few LEGOS (Maybe I use the ones I got from Project Fi). My question is, can I connect a SlimPort adapter and still get the output to my TV when I turn on the device while the touchscreen is disconnected? I'm not planning to keep the screen because it's not necessary for what I'm planning to do with it, also I wanna save the battery that the screen's light uses so it doesn't drain battery while using it, because as I said, the battery is damaged too, and I can replace it, but I wanna keep the costs of this project low and the size of the device as small as possible.
If it works, I'm planning to share the results and also maybe a tutorial.
Thank's in advance!
I was thinking about swapping out some parts on my note 5 including back, camera lens housing, and potentially battery. The battery of the s7 edge appears to be almost the same size (based on an aftermarket battery size) so I'm wondering if you could swap that into the note 5. Any thoughts?
Why would you go anywhere near a Samsung "7" type battery?
