The one review seems to be quite thorough. Seems to work fairly well. Not really sure if its worth $30 though. I got 2 1600 mah batteries and a battery charger for $9. So for a third of the price I can swap batteries and get 3X the battery life. Only downside is having to carry the other batteries around.

Where did you get them from? Sounds like a sweet deal..Link please?

It looks like the seller just jacked up the price.

This is not the one I bought but at 1700mah you get 2 batteries and a charger for the same price.

Totally jacked up the price. I just ordered one a few days ago and it was only 14.95.
I just got mine in the mail today and it's charging for the first time.

Can you report back to us about the battery. How long it lasts....

i ordered the 1800 mah battery from amazon and got it in the mail yesterday, and I'm actually pretty disappointed. It almost seems to have the same life as the stock battery. Drains fairly quick. I'm thinking about preordering the 4500 mah one.

So I see no reads the forum before making a thread that already been made.... Come on ppl can't you read utilize the search button before posting?

If you read a previous thread about the same battery.... extended batteries are a rip off. It probably has less mah then the oem battery

Not all extended batteries are a "rip off", and besides, how could we know without testing them? I think it's fine that someone made a thread to report on a specific battery that they purchased so that the rest of us can have some information on it. Thanks OP.

There's two threads about the same scammy battery there's no need for two

I beg to differ. For many many years I was against aftermarket anything unless it was a case. I was given an extended battery for my g2 and it fried my phone. Almost killed my replacement. Never again will I get am products.
Nonsense!

Will do. I'll see how it performs over a few days of my typical usage -- a few phone calls, lots of texting, internet and more internet, a few rounds of Wheel of Fortune, more internet lol.
Best case scenario would be a few hours more battery life. After all, the advertised capacity is only 20% more than the OEM battery.

A battery can't be judged by a single usage cycle. You have have to cycle it a couple of times for it to get in the groove of charging and discharging properly But with that said, you won't really see all that much of a difference from 1500 mAh to 1800 mAh. You might squeeze in an extra hour or two through a days use, but not much more then that sadly

Tested with a computer voltage logger over multiple discharge cycles.
No, the OPs battery was not tested, but since NOT ONE after market battery has EVER lived up to its marking, its clearly delusional to think this battery may just be the one thats legitimate.
It's a profitable game for them and buyers are naive and want to believe in the magic.
A rip-off is selling a product fraudulently, regardless if it still has value.
Specifically, a battery that tests to be less that 5% of its stamped rating is a fraud.

Informative chart. Thanks for the link. I've used aftermarket batteries for other phones and have had anywhere from decent performance to one that wouldn't even last 5 hours lol. Not expecting stellar results from this one either, but I got it for only $15 so if it gives even a decent day's usage then it will be worth the $15.
I've used it for about 2 days so far and its been holding up okay. Waiting to see if its gets any better after a few discharge/charge cycles before I really make up my mind about it.

[Q] Should I preorder? Battery issues still exist?

I was going to pre-order this device when it goes up for preorder on the 27th.
The only concern I have is the battery life. I'm coming from my HTC One M7ul and it isn't getting that great of battery life..
1. Does the OnePlus One have better battery life than the One m7 (for anyone that has had a M7)?
2. Has the battery drain issues been fixed with this phone?
I don't want to get stuck with a phone at has worse battery than my previous. I've only heard of "battery drain" issues from some forum posts.
Some critics say that the battery is "awesome" or "very good", but when I hear it from users that actually use the phone daily, they said it isn't that great... somehow even with a 3100mAh battery... strange.

What battery drain are you talking about?

Where are you getting this information? The battery and CPU combo on this device yields phenomenal battery life. It's light years better than the HTC.

From OnePlus One forums and here at XDA...
But yeah a 3100mAh battery w/ a 801 SOC should be pretty good.
Wouldn't doubt it would be better than the m7. Thank you!

No issues on battery life for me. Better than anything I've had before.

Keep in mind that battery drain issues are usually user generated, and are not the fault of the phone or software/firmware. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this device to anyone.

Got to admit when I read this I was like what the hell is this guy talking about. What were there like 3 people who complained about battery life. You got to be kidding me when people are posting 5-10hrs SOT.
Man listen just get the damn phone and you will love it...Thats it. some of the stuff I read in here makes me really wonder do you people really read up on this phone and see all the positive stuff said or do you just feel like creating a thread.....

Replaced Battery/Screen

Keeping my Pixel 32gb kicking. Just replaced the battery and the screen.
How many other users keeping their of Pixel alive?
Has anyone had issues with new installed screens? (New screen looks like it has burn in already)

What was wrong with your screen?
I've had my pixel for less than 1 year so I'm going to keep it for a while, surely going to replace the battery in the long run

I already had a bad battery. I dropped my phone last month but was still able to use it with the shattered screen. So I figured I'd keep using it and replaced the screen and battery. Plus this small investment is much better than purchasing a pixel 2/3.

Just wanted to let people who want to keep their og pixel. New battery on day 3.

If you stop charging to 100%, your battery will last way more than 3 years.

Personally, I limit mine to 60%, which correlates to roughly 3.9V. At that charge level, the battery will outlive the phone's usefulness.

Show your reported battery capacity (Exynos)

As I have not found a list of user reported batter capacity I thought, let's create some insight so here we go!
Accubattery shows on my 1 week old Exynos ultra battery only has 4041 mAh capacity
What about yours?

You can't figure out the capacity of a battery after two partial charges.

Why do you need these figures? My sm-n9860 shows me the ~20 hours TTL after the full charge (stats are based on the heavy browser's usage) - TTL is the only useful indicator I guess.

I know that 2 cycles is not enough, that's not why I started this thread.
It is interesting to track capacity degradation over time. If everybody reports there figures every now and then, providing insights on that could help people identify battery issues. Although with all the different measuring app outcomes it will not be an exact sciense but an approximation.

Here you go if it makes you happy I don't mind participating.
Day 4 of ownership. And one day after a factory reset.

The Note 20Ultra's battery has a kernel charge limit of 4060 mAh -100%. So it's not about 4500 mAh only 4370mAh with limitation. I will never understand these huge differences recorded on Samsung batteries between the declared minimum value and the value recorded on charging.

I see that you partially charge your phone 40-80%.
I don't know if this partial charge will really extend your battery life. At Samsung I have seen over time that the situation is upside down and the charging counter is misled from where and sometimes a strong drain. If this partial upload by Samsung were supported by the software, then it would be a good thing otherwise I don't see much. As with Apple, Sony, Oppo ..

I always partially charge my phone approx 40-80 sometimes higher l, sometimes lower.
Samsung batteries seem to have a some sort of reserved area that doesn't get used until a certain degration is reached. That's my hunch.
PS I got an SD n20u now, no different to exynos ?

From my experience in the past with these battery monitoring apps the battery health measurement is pretty innacurate. When I first got my 20 Ultra it said the battery was at 94 percent health which was definitely wrong.

Same in s20 and s20+.... the charge stoped in 3600 and 4076 respectively... great work samsung

Mine says 4370, is there a difference between exynos and snapdragon?

In battery capacity not. But in terms of speed exynos is slower and uses more power. Also more heat...

Because it was faulty. Random reboots even in safe mode.
Edit. The SD one is also defective, green tint. Samsung really has gone down the poop shoot quality wise lately.

No problem for me. The best phone so far. I think I'll keep it for two years, especially since Samsung decided to cancel the Note series.

I very much doubt this model will be remembered favorably in the future . it'll probably be the note 3, 4, 8,9 and 10 that sticks with most of the fan base.

38 cycles and 99% health by accubattery.PhoneInfo
says something else I suspect depending on the kernel limitation,93,6% health.

The best way to extend your battery life is to switch your phone off at night. Lets estimate a 33% longer life assuming one sleeps 8 hours a day. 33% for free!
In the mean time my estimated capacity is up to 4370mAh

Oneplus Diagnostic app

So,
How many of you have Oneplus diagnostic app that can show you information about the battery in Oneplus phones as well as battery health?
I had it installed on my OP5T and I have it on OP7 PRO and on both phones it shows me 81% original capacity remains.
OP5T is 3y old and OP7 Pro is year and a half. Friend has 5T 2y old and it shows him 83%
I'm just wondering if anyone relies on this app, and what does it show you about battery capacity for your device.
It would be nice if you could say how long do you have your phone, do you take care of battery (charging between 20-80% for example), and remaining capacity.

I use the app, I have installed it on all my oneplus phones, in my opinion it can be used to get a rough indication of the health of the battery. It perplexes me because the percentage shown by the app does not have a constant variation, sometimes the percentage value drops, other times the percentage increases, so I think it can only give an approximate indication of the health of the battery.

I have similar experience.
I changed the battery on my OP5T myself but the new battery was DOA and I had to put the old one back. It jumped from 81% to 91% and it took a few days but it went back to 81.
I have installed AccuBattery on 7 Pro to get 'different opinion' but it will take a while to get better estimate after some charge/discharge cycles.

Some guides provide information on how to reset this value of the maximum battery capacity in order to allow the smartphone to recalibrate but it seems to be useless.
The only procedure that seems to have any real use is the one described here.
