Google Pixel Battery mod. - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello, Maybe you all remember Nexus 5 battery mods. When people used to put G2 3000 mah battery in it. I did that too. It gave me 5-6 hours sot with kernel tweaking. Then others started putting in it 5x 2700 mah battery, some even put mi mix 4 batteries.
I have Google Pixel myself. It's in good condition, gives me ~5hours SOT, but it's battery is phisically big. I think there could be batteries bigger then 2770 mah which would fit in it. Today i opened friends Pixel 5" to replace battery and i measured battery compartment. It was in height 6.6 cm and in width 6.1 cm (In width there could be another 1.5mm available over antena cables). Lets guys post here different battery sizes and find big enough battery for our beloved Google Pixel phone to be worth it to make this mod. I already have battery board and i would make this mod to my pixel if i find about 3700 mah battery for it. Imagine 3700 mah battery in OG Pixel. That would be cool around 7-8 hours SOT with tweaking.
Lets share our findings with different battery sizes in here.

I have two pixels waiting for batteries in my shop and a buttload of batteries to try out, I have to say, the battery is pretty small, and we don't have much space there, but I'll come back tomorrow and tell you what I concluded

Wow cool. I am waiting for your post with more information. This is so cool that you have both: pixels and batteries. Maybe we will be able to breath a new life into our pixel phones. I do not get it why Google won't let us have big batteries. Even apple started giving their customers big batteries. Now google is releasing 5.7" Pixel 4 with ONLY 2800 mah battery LOL. RIP battery life.

Bad news buddy, I wasn't able to find a better battery for our phones, for the size, the one that almost fits it's the Galaxy s9 one, but as you may know, it's a rectangular battery so it's a little taller than the original one this one is 3000 mAh, the LG G2 Will almost fit but it's like 2mm taller, without the controller board it will definitely fit, and maybe then you can cram the pixel controller board on a side and extend the ribbon cable to connect with the main board, every other battery is bigger, or it's the same or less capacity than the original one, I have easily, 2000+ batteries on my shop, we never throw them away, we keep the good ones and we send the bad ones to a recycling center, today I went through every bin in the shop with the pixel and the original battery in hand to try out and that's the conclusion I got, sadly we don't have any Xiaomi or similar brands batteries, we have the main brands, but I will keep an eye on the new batteries that we acquire, because currently I'm using a pixel device as my daily driver and the killing point is the battery, I really like everything else.

Thank you very much for your time. I have high hopes for xiaomi batteries. They tend to put some good capacity batteries in small phones. Well battery technology should advance each year. Every other component is advancing. There should be batteries with more capacity in the same size then 2016 battery. If there is not i guess big companies do not do anything in battery compartment and it's VERY sad, because modern smartphones have EVERYTHING except good solid battery life. 10 hour SOT does not mean anything. No phone can get through 3 days. I do not mean power banks with attached phones like energizers 18000 mah phone.
Again thank you maybe we will get lucky and you find some battery with at least 3300 mah for our pixel. Maybe pixel XL has more chance getting xiaomi 4000-4100 mah battery mod. It's battery compartment should be bigger then 5" models.

2400 mAh extended battery

If you need better battery life, get this one http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/product_info.php?products_id=540 from Mugen Power.
I'm currently using S740 just as a alarm clock, so the radio is turned off, but the battery life is great:
Main battery: 76%
Standby time: 133 hours 44 minutes
Device usage: 1 hour 8 minutes
That sounds amazing. But isn't this one of those batteries that substantially increase the thickness of the phone?
The picture is not clear; but then the EU site for Mugen power states this for their S730 battery
Yes, it comes with a cover that increases the thickness.
But my Rose is still alive without charging.
Main battery: 41%
Standby time: 303 hours 41 minutes
Device usage: 2 hour 27 minutes
Edit: Ended up with 404 hours and 3 hours of usage. The battery still was around 2% but I decided to charge it.
Phenomenal ! That may indeed be worth the aditional weight & thickness
MH
Moneytoo:
Have been interested in one of these for a while now and since you own one I have a question for you: Do these covers look like the stock ones? I mean, is the lense hole covered and that little mesh thingy there? I think I saw one once and it didn't have neither. Which would suck, my phone collects enough dust/pocket lint/tabacco crumbs as it is, dont need two huge holes in the back..
Thanks,
.-ombre-.
Do these covers look like the stock ones?
Yes, it the same "Diamond" style, just extended cover.
is the lense hole covered
No.
little mesh thingy there
I'm not sure what you mean by mesh. All the two other holes are the same size as original cover and it has the shiny triangle around camera too.
Alternative
On Ebay there's an alternative available, called YOOBAO.
"only" 2000 mAh, but certainly cheaper
I have 4 batteries from Mugen Power Batteries, all have the correct capacity and the battery life is great comparing to the standard battery.
I have few of these cheap extra capacity batteries (for PSP for example) but no one has better battery life than the original one.
You can't go wrong with Mugen...
Battery backplate
Wish they'd redesigned the bigger backplate with a flat surface, instead of the PIA (pain in arse) diamond pattern - would make the phone much easier to use on a flat surface.
can anyone post a pic of before and after the extended battery? would love to see how much thicker it gets.
thank you

[Q] extended batteries

Has anyone here tried an extended battery made for the Dell Venue Po?
For example, there's a 2600mAh battery that comes with a replacement cover because the battery is so large. ... It looks nice. I find myself always conscious that I'm churning through battery life just with normal usage.
Related to that, I have noticed my DVP getting pretty warm. Wondered if anyone knows of any tricks to colling the phone, or any gadgets that have been made for that purpose.
Thanks.
Nobody? I'd think that many of the new smart phones would be energy hogs and this would be appealing.
The only replacement batteries I've seen available for the Dell Venue Pro are standard replacement batteries, although an extended capacity batter sounds like a nice idea.
I've also noticed my device heating up during data-intensive tasks, but usually the heat is coming from the panel that is below the battery bay, so it might be something related to the processor/memory strain.
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Personally I've been looking for a stock-sized extended battery. The ones on eBay with the extended cover make the phone too thick IMO and ruin the look of it as well.
That said, the kickstand would be handy for Netflix.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2600mAh-cover-Extended-battery-DELL-Venue-Pro-V02S-/370522627521?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5644de9dc1
Generally I find the stock battery to be far more than sufficient, but when I'm in bad/no reception areas, I find the battery drains super fast.

Didn't like the extended battery
Dvp is quite heavy,, how much more would it get heavier with the extended battery,,, I wonder
Battery replacement
Hey guyz Wake up !!
I cant post the link because I don't post a lot around...
but go to Mugen Power Website and look for Dell venue
(Venue and Venue Pro use the same batteries)
Mugen power is pretty much the only one brand for battery replacement with quality inside.
Venue and Venue Pro have same battery but different backcovers. So XL Mugen batteryes don't usable. Standart size mugen battery is not a pretty much better compared to stock...
You might be able to use the Mugen XL with one of the battery covers from one of the cheap eBay extended batteries.
But personally I'd take the stock sized Mugen battery. I like the stock size of the DVP.

ext bat
I got a new ext battery with cover afew days ago. The dvp is tad bit heavy so
the battery is not a big deal and the new cover is better now you have a finger grip. The dvp does not recognize the new battery at all. I did call seller,waste of time, did call Dell waste of time both have no clue as to how to get phone to recognize new battery. It is a 2600. So I have a few weeks before return to see
if by magic it all works out. Any input? Thanks

Yeah it looks like with the extended batteries, you need to take out and place back the battery after it charges to 1500mah to get it to go past the OEM battery capacity... sounds like the extended battery doesn't have the proper firmware to indicate its full/actual capacity. Bummer... especially since they're not cheap!

Can anyone confirm if this issue was solved with the Mango update?
I'd really love to have some extra juice!

Standard fit / high capacity battery

Do any exist, which are safe and reliable?
On previous notes, I bought a slightly higher capacity Mugen but can't find any for the note 4 (in the UK).
My phone is now 9 to 10 months old and the battery is tiring (I think). Maybe a refresh is due. I can imagine the higher speed charging kills them off sooner too. ANOTHER good reason why the Note 5 should have a removable battery. A a built in battery will be performing under par in no time.

How much extra juice do you get from normal charging?
So 4 months later, how are the batterys holding up?
My OEM battery seems to not be holding juice long enough and I'm looking for a replacement.
Yes, I want to know as well. Facing same issue as OP.

I hope you find what you're looking for... I am hooked on high capacity batts, and now even the little handed wife can handle a Hyperion 8000 batt with TPU case easily- they're not as brick-like as the zerolemon. Bought a new 8000 and a case for a total of 38 bucks with free shipping on amazon yesterday.
But everyone has their own way of wanting things- hope it works out. If it doesn't, though, I'll offer that it really doesn't take long to adapt to the Hyperion type with it's case. That same case works with the Anker 6400 too. Both have been great performers for me.
Cheers!

Thanks for your input. I'm more inclined towards the standard fit because of the accessories I already have: the car support, the cases, etc.. An oversize higher capacity battery would imply further investment in other stuff, while a standard fit would just (hopefully) improve a little on the OEM battery. If any of the batteries mentioned can fit the original samsung car windshield support I'd consider them a an option.
I just received this one today and so far it seems pretty good. Same size as OEM but it took noticeably longer to charge so the extra capacity seems legit. I had a Deep Stretch for my Sensation back in the day and it was great, so we'll see after a few days how this one performs in the ol' note 4.

I saw that battery, but passed it up due to the blurry photo (and the battery looks in the photos like it's a cheap battery with a sticker on it) and the generic reviews (as if the seller may have made a few of them). It just all looked like a cheap battery to me.
Let us know how it performs. Longer charging time may not indicate a bigger battery, especially if the battery really is a cheap Chinese battery or something.

OK so after a couple days with this battery I can say that it's good. The more I use it the better it seems to get too, on the first day it was roughly the same as my stock battery but today it's lasting a lot longer. I am getting a noticeable bump in overall life, ending my day with about 30% more juice left than I normally do.
Deep Stretch is legit, like I mentioned before I had one of their batteries a few years ago with my Sensation and it gave me noticeably more life as well. These aren't good if you're wanting a major increase in battery life, but they're great just to get your phone comfortably through a day of moderately heavy use without having to bulk it up.

This battery uses new technology? How could they made a same size but much higher capacity comparing to stock one? Could you post your onscreen time with this battery?
I am always skeptical about batteries that claim higher capacity while not being physically larger. Not saying these are bad but for I wouldn't buy it for the bigger number on the package. Personally, I tend to go with OEM batteries, bought with retail packaging from a reputable seller. Sure these are too expensive for what they are, but at least, I know what I am getting.
It is worth noting that li-ion/li-po batteries degrade slowly over time. So when you change your year-old battery for a new one, you are very likely to notice an improvement, even if you replaced it with the exact same model.

Best Extended Battery for Note 4? Hyperion, ZeroLemon or something else?

I've been looking around at the extended batteries for the Note 4. Which one do you consider the best?
Right now I'm leaning towards the Hyperion 8000 mah version.
The ZeroLemon does seem to have more capacity, but it does seem to have issues involving the battery reading because of the TriCell design? Can anyone confirm this?
I suppose then that would be combined with the ZeroLemon case. Unless a mod is possible?
By mod, this is what I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530547
Anyone try something like this with a Note 4 Otterbox?
The reading issues are resolved with a custom kernel such as Emotion, which is patched to recognize the added capacity. I don't have the ZeroLemon or the Hyperion, but I do have this one and I quite like it. It is an off-brand, but I get exactly 3X my normal battery life with it, so it's legit and a good discount alternative to the ZL if you're trying to save a few bucks. I've tried to fit it into my otterbox but it's too bulky. Supposedly the official ZL cases will fit it though.
Zerolemon is pretty good. I don't really have any complains and I get anywhere between 10 to 19 hours of screen time on average with 12-15 being the average. The cover is very beefy and protective. The readings however can be inaccurate and when I sense this I just reboot the phone and it magically adds anywhere between 5-30%. There are some workarounds but they're a bit problematic. It's best to use a custom kernel that is especially tailored for zerolemon or extended batteries in general.
I switched to 5.1.1 on my 910C and flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/n910c-kernel-5-1-1-stock-tw-permissive-t3206548/ by shreqg2 and it's working well as far as battery accuracy goes. The downside is that it doesn't have the 5.1.1 stock kernel cpu governors and overclocking the stock kernel provides (it can go up to 2100Mhz on BIG and 1900 and 200 Mhz on LITTLE as opposed to 1900Mhz BIG and 1500Mhz (or was it 1300?) on the 5.0.1 kernel. I guess it's not really a big deal since I've been stuck with the lesser frequencies since 4.4.4. Hopefully someone can write a proper kernel with the recently released kernel source code but I'm not sure. Really though, a lot of kernels have extended battery considerations and I'm just testing.
Edit: added screenshots with the new kernel. Rebooting gave me about 5%. It's working very well so far but this is the first discharge since I flashed it. Looks promising. It runs very cool too.
I'm going to be getting the SM-910W8 as I live in Canada (decided to go with it after the disappointment of the Note 5 and because apparently, according to the carrier phone salesman I spoke with, the Note 5 has been having reception issues and they aren't sure if it's hardware or software).
Not sure yet if I will go with an AOSP or TW based ROM though. It's a decision I have yet to make. But so long as the ZeroLemon has the full capacity it should be good. I am tempted though to go with the Hyperion as it does seem to be a single unicell and I have an offer for a cheap Otterbox Defender (which should keep it thin and protected).
Any kernel recommendations for extended batteries and performance in general?
Happy with Anker's 6440mah battery I recently bought, % indicator is accurate and doubles my usage time.
The back cover is slippery compared to the original.
Hi, i take here my "long" experience with extended batteries for different phones. I used Anker and Zerolemon brands.
Since I started to use my Note 4 (last February) Zerolemon's customer care replaced me the battery (10000mAH) because the phone turned off suddenly after only few days of Zerolemon battery use.
The new battery has lasted working fine for about six months but since one month I still have problems even if they are not frequently like first time (now i'm still using the battery..).
I have noticed that when you press at the top of screen the phone turns it off or restarts and I think that is an issue that concerns the contacts of battery to phone. I applied a bit of tape to keep the battery as good as pressed into the slot to avoid contacts issues.
(Probably the battery is too heavy to warrant a good fitting...and maybe the 6400 Anker could be the best solution..)
However I noticed that even when I can ensure that the battery is fine fitted the phone turns off or restarts anyway. In these cases I think that is an internal issue this time.
I don't know if these issues concern only first stock of Zerolemon's battery and now Zerolemon has fixed the issues.
In my experience I remember that I've never had these inconveniences in my S3 phone with Anker extended battery and in my S4 with Zerolemon battery.
I'll follow this thread because I'm searching a best extended battery for my phone...
P.s.: I use Zerolemon case with clip/ holder
Sent from Note 4 device - Rome - Italy
Ive had hyperion extended batteries, zero lemon batteries, and others and I have to say Anker makes one of the best batteries for phones, period. Hyperion has some stylish cases for their extended batteries which I love but their batteries aren't one piece and more like 3 pieces attacked and covered with a sticker. I never had any problems with it but its not as good of quality as a zerolemon or an anker battery would be.
Anker extended batteries have a plastic back that holds the battery and is a much more premium battery. Also their customer support is superb. My Anker 7500mah battery went out on my GS3 once and I sent them an email and boom they give me a new case and battery free of charge.
Zerolemon batteries are also known for their quality but they don't try to hide the fact that they make brick sized batteries and that's a downfall in my opinion because a phone with an extended battery still needs to be managable and fairly easy to hold but Zerolemon's 10,000mah BRICK may hold tons of juice but isn't practical. But they still make amazing batteries.
There was a battery thats someone posted that fits our existing case. I am unable to find the link. I think the battery was 5400mha. Anyone what the wed site?

Well i know that lithium ion batteries are the 1/4 size of lead acid batteries but we already have li-ion batteries on our phones so im interested to see as how they crammed that much juice in there
I'm a bit skeptical between the Anker extended battery and Hyperion battery, they seem to be about the same size and shape, and the provided back covers look to be the same as well, but yet they have different rated capacities? I only have the Hyperion 8000 mAh so, I can't fairly comment on this but does anyone have both?

never knew Anker made extended note 4 batteries (thought they only made replacement batteries). As its not listed on their website.
Anyways, has anybody heard of Dr. Battery? http://www.drpowerglobal.com/drbattery/model/samsung/sm-n910c/css249r.aspx#rp
says it's a replacement battery, but the capacity says it's 3500 mAh. But on best buy canada, it says it's 3000 mAh.....
Also has anybody notice that MYDE and Anker has very very similar description.
Anker:
We wouldn't give you anything less than the best. Grade A cells chosen from among the top 10%. Rigorous inspection tests to ensure reliability. A built-in IC chip to prevent against short-circuiting. Complete NFC functionality. What does this all mean? In terms of quality, you won't find a better replacement. Don't just take our word for it, though - type in any quick, power-related search on Amazon and see who pops up. As the leader in our industry for the last 3 years running, we know batteries.

hey guys i have been using the zero lemon for some time now, i think its been a year now i believe. it started acting up on me after a year, it would reboot on its own, i know its the battery because i used the standard one and it works fine, (im on it now) so i was looking to see if there are any better batteries, i found one chinese base and said its 5600 mah so when i get it, i will update and let you guys know if its a good buy. they said its standard size and it uses a charge of 4.4 but we'll see. just felt like giving my two cents. how is that ebay battery going since you have been using it? whats the amount of time you are getting on it? my main thing is to have it not run out of battery for just ONE full day. I can care less for a battery that stands 3 days since I do go home and sleep sometime and I can charge it during that time.

It might not be the problem with the battery going bad — I had the same issues: constant reboots after a year usage…
However I noticed it would always reboot while handling the phone — I'd put it down on the table, throw it on the bed. Got me thinking it might be some looseness in the contact — the battery seems tightly stuck in — but anyway I tried and jammed a folded strip of paper in the bottom edge of the battery compartment, so that a piece is jammed under the ZeroLemon battery and a piece on its side.
Since then — zero reboots — the battery is rock solid — so I think after a while the battery gets microscopically loose — it being heavy and all — and that causes the reboots. My paper fix solved that and it's been perfect since!

Very bad there isn't a 25% bigger battery like s5.. A battery 4500 ma with 1-2 millimeters bigger size would be fantastic. I don't understand how so, no Chinese sells one.. Probably they dont want money..

What is your phone model number? can you tell us what is your screen on time (SOT) with this type of battery?

So-called 'slim' extended batteries make me suspicious.....

For years now manufacturers have thought we prefer having dead but omg so thin phones instead of ones that actually make it through the day. I've always bought phones that had removable batteries so that I could buy extended batteries and turn my phone into a brick that allows me to charge it at night and use at will during the day. Most of these are oversized and require a special back cover. However, I see a lot of 'slim' extended batteries that can fit into your current phone without a bigger back. They're plentiful, and they're cheap. So why don't manufacturers just include an extended battery that is the same volume but more capacity?
I suspect that perhaps they're less safe? I recently had an extended battery start bulging inside my phone and pushed the screen up a little. I wouldn't have noticed if the screen hadn't started coming up. Scared me a little, we've all seen the pics of phones that have exploded in people's pockets.
Does anyone know more about this than me?
I dont know more about this than you?.??

They are only marketing duds ... the battery in the phone it is the same like the extender ones but be ready to catch fire because they land faulty compared to the one in the phone. Always check the manufacturer!

I've never had an issue with the extra large extended batteries that require a special back. Those always give a huge boost to battery life.
The slim one that I put in my G3 D855, however, is definitely a dud. I'm on a Marshmallow ROM that shows the estimated electricity use per app, in mAh, which has made it really handy for calculating the capacity of the battery. Every time my calculation comes up at about 3000 mAh, the capacity of the stock battery.
So that's $15 American that I'll never see again....oh well. Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. My next battery will be gigantic.
the slim battery was to cheap and the reason for bulging
