Alternative Power Supply - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

due the power issue on my pixel 1 , and we know this device really consume the power so much
so i connect it to my power bank 10,000 mAh to treat it as my battery
it works good , no overheat , no ghost touch and i love it to use my pixel all day long without thinking about battery
i also consider to replace my battery but i think its useless
2700 mAh ? it cant fit my daily usage
i hope what i do is safe
Anyone wanna to share yo idea with this device ?
Feel free [emoji4]

I have the same feeling. I'm thinking to upgrade to Pixel 3. Meanwhile, i control background apps restrictions, low bright and have a charger near to me.

I forgot to write that i changed my battery in August, 2019 because factory battery was dead. I saw improves but now, that battery is small.

Safe battery temperature?

I received my Nexus wireless charger today, and the only issue I've noticed so far is that it really heats up the phone... A lot.
I have a battery temperature monitoring app, and it reported a battery temperature of about 107 degrees Fahrenheit. At that point I stopped charging because I was afraid of damaging the phone.
I really like the wireless charger, but I'm afraid for my phones hardware integrity. How hot should I let it get before being worried?

No, you aren't the only one. I have two tylt Qi charger chargers and they both heat the phone to 108F while charging. The tech support at tylt is good and they said they tested several different brands of Qi chargers in the Nexus 5 and they all heat the battery to that temp. They also said that it's a bit higher battery temp than they've see with their charger on other Qi compatible devices. Apparently just happens on the Nexus 5.
I asked them if I should be concerned about battery life and they said they have been unable to obtain specs for normal operating temps for the battery in the Nexus 5.
I believe the people at tylt but I'm still going to open a new thread specifically asking people to post their battery temps while Qi charging.
I did a bit of research, and apparently smartphone batteries are mostly in a good operating range when they're beneath 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
If I actually experience any quality decrease in my Nexus 5, I'll contact Google and pin it on them. I'm literally only using their products with this phone.

Lithium batteries are rated much higher for discharge temperature than charging temperature. 125F sounds like a discharge rating.

Battery degradation is a fairly long process. It may not be evident until after the warranty runs out. It will also be difficult at that time to know how much excess battery wear was due to the heat.
Wouldn't matter that much to me if the battery was removable and easily replaced.
I will probably continue to risk the battery on the Qi charger and attempt to replace it if it gets weak. It's just going to be more involved to replace. I'll also bet the replacement batteries are more expensive than if the phone was designed for a removable battery. This would be due to less demand for replacement batteries.

From what I understand, almost all the components under the hood are easily replaceable. I think I'll be okay with replacing the battery.

looks like getting the case off might be a bit of a challenge but agree it looks doable. Probably have to buy the ifixit toolkit.
turning off daydream has dropped my tylt charging temp by up to 12F to a max of 98F.
The less your phone is doing while it charges the better. Not only will it charge faster but it will not reach as high of a temperature.
Try enabling Airplane mode when you need a quick charge or to keep your temps down.
looks like I got a bit too optimistic. I was hoping that I wouldn't have another random overheating incident with my 2 tylt chargers. I just pulled my phone off the charger with no charge, 70% full and 132F battery temp. As much as I love my tylt chargers it may be time to throw in the towel. That kind of temp not only ruins the battery but it could potentially ignite the battery if the battery were to develop a thermal runaway condition. I'm truly heartbroken.
Hi,
Here is the max battery temperature according to the thermal-engine.conf file (thermal throttling after), so considered as safe I think:
Code:
[battery_monitor]
algo_type monitor
sensor batt_therm
sampling 10000
thresholds 480000 550000
thresholds_clr 460000 500000
actions battery battery
Maybe a little above is safe also...

Not sure what those numbers mean. Maybe you could interpret?
I do know that lithium shouldn't get hotter than you can comfortably hold or it will definitely lessen it's life. If it has reached that point then red flags because that's a sign that it could continue and ultimately reach thermal runaway.
Its still normaly while charging

That doesn't tell me what 500000 stands for. It certainly can't be degrees. You can't just throw out numbers like that with no explanation if you expect credibility. Lithium fires burn at 2000 F so a heat threshold of 500000 C or F makes no sense at all.
I can tell you that my phone triggered a "Battery Overheating" condition at something less than 132 F so what's the phone using for it's own internal thresholds?

Zerolemon 4000mAh Battery Case for Galaxy S6

I saw an announcement for Zerolemon 4000mAh Battery Case for Galaxy S6. Any one can confirm the release date?
A ZeroLemon release date doesn't mean anything lol it always gets delayed.
oh that's too bad. so how long usually they are delay?
Idk the Note 4 was only delayed a week or so but the G3 was delayed closer to 6 weeks IIRC. I would guess middle of May as the earliest release date.
probably won't be for a while after release. companies tend to announce things way ahead of themselves.
why not get a portable battery pack? that way it doesn't make the phone so large and you can just charge on-demand when needed. plus the ability to charge multiple friends/family phones on the go. you should be able to charge your phone at least 3 times before needing to recharge the pack.

It can be good, I tried the zerolemon extended battery for s4 and was so good

I've been looking for this and I saw solar external battery's of this company, have you heard bout it? Have you tried? It's no expensive, maybe I'll get it, but I want an opinion, please
Yeah there is a case with 4000mAh battery and a slot for micro sd card. I have a screenshot but i dont know how to upload it.

I can recommend one if these. Got mine at Amazon for £20 reduced from £90 and it charged my iPhone 5c over 5 times before it needed charging.
Not sure how many times my S6 will charge but time will tell. Handy to keep this on the sofa ready to use.

What about Qi? Still Useable?

Replacement battery

Has anybody experience with third parties batteries? I've been looking at the new power 99 batteries, do you know of this will solve the notes battery problems?

I have bought note 8 battery for my n5110 from this eBay seller with good result:

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering how it compares to the old one...will replacing the battery solve my battery problems? My battery is life is very inconsistent, sometimes I get day, sometimes it'll go down 30% in 10 minutes and is flat within the hour. No matter what I do our don't..

Brother
first thing to search for for battery troubles before battery
is your charger usb cable
Install galaxy charging current from play store
plug in your charger
let app measure current ampere
if it's 1.8
the trouble in battery
if it less than
u must test other premium usb cable

Battery life is horrible

I have a friend that has the samsung 6 and the battery life is atrocious. Anyone else has the same problem???
I did and got fed up and rooted and installed a custom rom and the battery life is far better
there are lots of things that will kill the battery quickly, there are also lots of things you can do to make the battery last for a couple days off one charge...
---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------
my advice would be to check the threads, the battery life discussion is taking place elsewhere and chances are your friends problems has been addressed already

Upgrade or not

OK, so here is the deal.
I have a 3 year old M7 that has served me so well, but, an upgrade is needed. The battery life is so terrible now after a degraded battery, and I just cant get it replaced, and there's scratches here and there, and the speaker kinnda messes with me, so does the mic. In general, I would like an upgrade.
But, a major factor for me is battery life.
Don't get me wrong, I don't play games much, almost none. The only thing I do do is SMS, use FB Messenger, and Skype with my gf sometimes (Skype is a huge battery hog for everyone, so I'm not measuring battery on this one). The problem though is; in my country, new phones are ridiculously overpriced, so I can't really hope to upgrade to an M10 because it will cost me a fortune since I'm a student as well .
HTC A9 looks by design a beautiful smartphone to me, and by the specs it is waaaaaay better than the M7. But I'm wondering, like I said, about the battery life. 5 inch screen with 2150 battery? How is that working out?
I would like to have more screen on time than this M7 2 hours screen on time, and I can get through the day just fine with this but I would like to have more. At the end of the day I'm left with a 30% battery with my usage on messenger and web browsing and stuff like that, so I'm not a power user or anything, I'm a casual .
So basically, what I'm asking is; Can this A9 give me at least 4-5 hours of SOT with FB Messenger or web browsing ?
I'm getting about 4hrs screen on time on a heavy day for me and it just about does that, standby is very very good for me, my usual day is unplug at 6:30 AM about 1.5hrs screen on time plug back in at about 11:30pm usually with about 40% ish left, I had m7 then m8 missed m9 but I would consider that over this A9 if I was looking again, nothing wrong with this a9 but I prefer the look and feel of the M range but that's purely personal

Would also add this A9 is noticeably smoother than my m8 which I still have...

Battery is pretty good here despite the small battery, I unplug at 6:00 AM, moderately use it, plug it back in at about 3:00 PM at about 20%, and then it's fine until I plug it back in at about 10:00 PM
