[Q] Need a New Battery - Any Advice? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Decided to stick to my One for another year or two. Nothing out there of interest.
AccuBattery tells me by battery actual capacity is down to about 2400. Makes sense I guess - device is old.
1. Will getting a new one improve battery life?
I realize this seems redundant. But you never know.
2. Any recommendation? Tons of offering - from $6 to $26. I have a feeling these are all the same, but if anyone had a good experience - would love to hear.
Thank you!

Thank you for all the valuable info!!!
Great advice on the battery tester!!! But if I may ask: how do I connect it to my phone? I need a USB to Micro-USB adapter?

im not disputing it might be - but ive been looking for something like this for ages and a complete search of the VOX forum showed no reference to SPBattMet. So I hoped it would help someone new as it helped me.

Can anyone tell what effect these kind of effect these monitoring plugins have on battery. Do they drain more battery
They drain a negigible amount of a battery, to the point that you should not notice it any.

I think it looks great, you should totally buy it, test it and let us know how the performance is and what is the REAL capacity of the battery

bought one of these...drops right in...been done by others on the site...once i get it i will test and get back to the site on my findings

Before I buy this for my friends Upgrade, I need to ask a couple questions.

A. Does this phone support "Per contact" ringtones like the Galaxy S3 does? If so, can you choose what file you want as your ringtone?
B. Average battery life?
C. If the default camera app is not to her liking, what would be a good alternative?
A. I think every Android device supports this... I would hope!
B. Average. Stock ROM is better battery-wise than aftermarket.
C. Dunno, sorry. Stock camera app works great for me.

Oh, someone with one of these PMed me a sec ago with answer A.
I also need to know if she can charge and use data on her phone at the same time. I know some phones wont charge if they're connected via usb and you're transfering data and stuff. It seems like a pretty solid phone.

Yea, answer A is pretty standard. Eek.
Transferring data and charging works fine here.

Alright, thats all I need to know. It seems like the MMS is the Stock MMS from AOSP or something, but I could be wrong. I dont really think she'll really mind one way or the other.

Does 360 Hibernation Master app work on Marshmallow for Z5??

Does anyone know if this app works on the Z5 using Marshmallow?? Please confirm.
Thanks!
I'll try and give you feedback.but keep in mind my Z5 is not rooted

Joseph,
Thank you for offering. That's fine, as I do not plan to root the Xperia X Performance when I buy it this summer either.
I have a similar thread going for the X Performance, and a guy in that thread already verified that it DOES work on the Z5 running Marshmallow! I'd already tried this app before on my Z3 (I now have the S7, but don't want to keep it, so waiting for X Performance to come out this summer so I can switch my S7 for that). It worked perfectly, but it doesn't work on my S7. But the guy in the other thread CONFIRMED it DOES work on the Z5 with Marshmallow too!
I would highly recommend Joseph that you skim through that thread, and then do yourself the favor of buying the full version of 360. You won't regret it. (But understand this app does not seem to work on Samsung phones for whatever reason. Not sure on others. Just know it does for Sony Xperia.)
Let me know if you do, how it goes, how you like it, and if ANY issues arise from having 360 on your phone.
Sorry for late reply.Was busy.downloading it right now.

No problem. Just remember to enable EVERYTHING in 360, get the full paid version, leave phone on but screen off (and NOT plugged in) overnight, and take note of what percentage the battery is at RIGHT before you go to bed, as well as first thing in the morning. See that thread for any other questions, and if not listed there, ask me here.
Thanks!!

Ok so on the Full version you had 0-1% battery loss overnight? Let me know please. And also how many hours was that?
If so, GREAT!! Yeah even 1% is a lot. lol You were probably like RIGHT on the border of that 1% when you went to bed.
It's not really called "Doze Mode". That's a Marshmallow thing. It's just the 360 app doin' its thing. lol

Wow! I've never tested it past 6-7 hours, so NINE hours and ONLY A 1 PERCENT LOSS? That's FANTASTIC!
Thanks again Joseph for testing the 360 app and contributing to this thread! MUCH appreciated!!

lol yeah.Overall if Xp will be anything like Z5 on battery life and with 820 being a bit more frugal it will have a solid battery life

I agree. I'm COUNTING THE DAYS until X Perf is released. I hate that it's not 'til like June though. Wish it was May or even April. Don't know why Sony put it off so long? The Z5 came out like last Fall. April would be at least 5-6 months since the Z5's release, so that's when it should be coming out, not Summer. Sony needs to just release ONE phone a year and make it in the Spring cuz Spring is an awesome time to buy a new phone. Weather's getting warmer, women are wearin' less clothes, more fun outdoor stuff starts happening, etc! lol
I see this app is newer and has same UI with the one from you, also it has more downloaded and rated. I see your one didn't work on your S7, have you tried mine ever?

RyTekk,
No I haven't, but I'll try it tonight and let you know tomorrow.
Yeah it's very similar to 360's UI.
What is the message about the CPU lock not working on non-rooted phones though?

Of course you need to root before do something on kernel settings (CPU, GPU, IO,...).

360 has a CPU lock but doesn't require a root. So I dunno.

360's CPU Hibernation Lock didn't need a root, so maybe we're thinking about something different?
So I tried the Hibernation Manager app last night on my S7. It unfortunately had no impact at all on the battery life (6 hours of sleep). It went down about 3-4%, which is the same it does without any "power saver" help. I will stop by my parents today and try putting it on their phone (Xperia Z1s). Then tomorrow I'll have them check and see if it did anything and get back to you. Hopefully it works on Sony Xperia phones at least.
Unfortunately, 360 Hibernation Master apparently DOES NOT work on the Xperia X series. I have no idea why. Sucks. Tried on my brand new int'l dual-SIM X Performance, and it didn't seem to do anything.
I tried out a couple other apps that were similar but they didn't seem to work either. So I guess for the time being anyway 360 is only for the Xperia Z series phones. FYI
However, Stamina Mode DOES seem to have been properly fixed, so you can still use that.
Note: Just remember that if you use the Visual Voicemail app that after turning off SM you will need to go into VV's settings and re-enable VV cuz it doesn't seem to do it automatically.

[NEW BATTERY] Duramax 4030mAh Real Or Fake?

Hi. Today i see on eBay this great BATTERY.
http://m.ebay.it/itm/Duramax-Batter...xy-Note-4-N910-Original-4030mAh-/131745931353
Take a look.
It says it is a 4030mAh BATTERY for 12€.
Very very good? Is a real or Fake?
Simeone know the biggest BATTERY as OEM dimensions?
Very interesting, although it seems to be fake. There's so much advertising about duramax brand that it's like a big company, but googling it nothing relevant was found.
Info.

No way... I read that with that battery(even if it has 4000mah) it has even worse battery life than with stocj
