I bought this battery from Amatron back in December for $5 due to random shutdowns and my battery lasts much longer plus the shutdowns stopped.

Hello I have being looking for forum topics like this for a while.

Was wondering if any one know online shop that sells ONITE batteries to Europe? ( Bulgaria). ?

I read some very positive feedbacks on it and it seems better than the original one.

P.S i am trying this at the very moment, hope it improve my battery at least a bit :)

(cant post link but its " Reset/calibrate your battery! " will drain 100% battery life and recharge at full )
[Nexus 5 General] yarach:
I am having battery life issues with my Nexus 5. When unplugging it from the charger it goes from 100% to 96% in less than 5 minutes while sleeping. When playing music for about 30 minutes, I lose around 30%. And when watching some Youtube, I still lose around 1% per minute. The are no strange wakelocks or whatsoever. I have ordered a new battery and will let you know how much it improved tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
hmm, similar issues here, battery draining fast and phone usually is slow these, sometimes takes a couple of seconds to open the task window after clicking the button. Is it related to the battery? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Unbelievable username.

The slowdowns are probably thermal throttling/kernel issues.

Or most likely heavy apps. The N5 is aging.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
Thanks. :p

I can't say if it's thermal throttling as usually it slows down even when it doesn't feel warm at all from the outside. For the kernel, i am using default settings for ElementalX.

Most likely it'd be heavy apps, can't believe that SD 800 and 2gigs can't handle the apps of today, has android become so power hungry? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Clean flash a new ROM and you will immediately notice a difference. I did. The stale files from removed apps can slow it down.

Also, always flash kernels over the stock kernel.

I flashed the latest EX over Blu and had the CPU stuck at 2.3ghz regardless of any settings and the phone was lagging a lot with super jittery animations. Flashing EX over the stock kernel worked.

PS: Its summers in India, the outside temp is about 45ish where I live, the phone's battery refused to charge giving out the overheat warning yesterday. I can only imagine how bad the CPU must be feeling about working in the burning heat even after -50UV ?

My battery stats: ��

http://m.imgur.com/a/O3S9k

Crux:

CPU: PVS BIN 3 with -50UV

Battery age: 1-2 months (got it from LG SVC for about 800INR or 12USD fitted in the phone with 6months warranty)

Setup: 32GB with DU(5/5/16) and EX kernel

Usage:

Screen-on : 3hrs

WhatsApp call: 1hr

GSM voice call: 1hr

Chrome, hill climb racing, etc

Standby: Overnight 6-8hrs

Juice left: 34%

It is pretty good IMO and I haven't even locked the CPU to a lower frequency of limit the number of cores to less than 4.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
I have tried flashing ROM clean last year, worked good for some days, after that, again started lagging here and there, so i scrapped the idea. One of the reason might be that i have huge amount of apps installed (135 in app drawer).

Never tried any other kernel, so it's always ElementalX over stock or ElementalX.

Yup, summers are bad this year, but mostly i am in my office under an A/C, so the CPU and the phone shouldn't feel the heat.

There are two times when the lag is unbearable:

1. Updating/Installing apps. (Understandable due to high disk usage)

2. When i switch on 3G/Wifi after some duration (Phone just gets stuck for 5-10secs, seemingly all apps at once just try to sync up, clogging up the resources)

Apart from this, most lags occurs during Opening apps, opening task window, switching apps (Maps lags a lot since last few months). Gaming is unaffected, no lags whatsoever even for long gaming sessions.

I believe that KitKat was still the most snappy OS for our phone, lollipop was a nightmare, and marshmallow has just continued the trend.
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Yes, KitKat was snappier. MM and Lollipop are somewhat heavy (visual refinement?), also the N5 has a pretty slow NAND storage chip this could also be a killer.

Lots of apps syncing could be the reason. Try the phone in safe mode once.

Press and hold power button, press and hold reboot to boot into safe mode.

It should fly.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
Wow, Didn't knew that. :eek: This could be a huge reason then for the slowdowns.

Will try the safe mode as well, Thanks. :good::)
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
eMMC 4.5 in the N5

Other phones with similar specs (801, like the OPO) have faster (2x over 4.5?) eMMC 5.0.

Also, never close apps you use frequently and never install crappy apps like battery optimizer and what not.

You can also try upgrading the eMMC to 5.0 64GB or even 128GB with faster IO and larger capacity to breath new life into your N5.

Soldering skills and partitioning skills is a must. Search XDA for 64GB Nexus 5. ?
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
hmm, so it is slower, found this one link as well: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Andr...-phone-has-the-fastest-IO-performance_id65588

Seemingly both Nexus 5 and Nexus 6(encryption?) have slow storage chips. :(

I never close apps now from the task window, though i used to think this to be one of the reasons for slowdowns, 2gb ram being the limitation.

Never have soldered a thing in my life, so would need to give it to someone to try :p, though i don't think i'd be taking the risk as my plans are to buy this year's nexus, considering that they launch the 5-5.2inch variant. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
So much OT ?
[Nexus 5 General] yarach:
I have replaced the battery yesterday. I can confirm the batterylife has nearly trippled since the replacement. It is truly an amazing new life!
[Nexus 5 General] Damool:
Can you share a link for where you purchased it? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] yarach:
I bought it from www.bol.com. Unfortunately it is a Dutch webshop, so they only ship within the Netherlands.
[Nexus 5 General] Damool:

Unbelievable stats today.

Juice left: 48%

SOT @ 48% : 2hr 41min

Voice calls: 1hr 15min

Network: 2g

Wi-Fi: full time

Battery age: 3-4 months probably (bought from LG service center for 12-13usd inclusive of replacement with 6 months warranty)
[Nexus 5 General] springy:
Just a quick update from me. I have installed a new battery 5 months ago. It isn't the official battery even though the vendor claimed it was.

However the battery life has been amazing. It is definitely worth changing the battery. Even though it isn't the official one it is miles better just because the old one was definitely on its last legs.

I fully recommend changing the battery. Definitely works for me.
[Nexus 5 General] astrolove69:

I got it from the brick and mortar LG service center for mobile phones here in India.
[Nexus 5 General] ggoomani:
My Nexus 5 is running smoothly with a rom and doze features...and still worth keeping at least another year. However, the SOT has been steadily decreasing to about 2:30 hrs at most these days. Without much use, on standby it can still last upto 2 days. However, as soon as I start using it, it seems to decrease by 1% every minute, or at least it feels that way! Can any US based member provide a link to an ebay or amazon replacement battery that has worked for them recently? There are many fake ones claiming to be authentic LG, difficult to take a chance on them.
[Nexus 5 General] Underwater Mike:
The OEM battery from Encompass works great, if you can catch one in stock. The cost is on the high end, but it's better than getting a cheap piece of junk that doesn't work more than a couple months.

[Nexus 5 General] Pedro2NR:
Hi Makhon5, sorry I just saw your post.

I ended up purchasing the battery from Onit: Amazon Link.

The battery life is good so far with me. I left a review and a screenshot of my battery stat from full to 10%: Amazon Review

Let me know if you have further questions.
[Nexus 5 General] Lythandra:
I just replaced my original battery with the Onite one also. For $12 you can't lose. This should hold me off for a bit more. Not sure if I will get a One+ 3 or a Axion 7 yet. I'll figure it out once they are both released and user reviews start to come out. Worst case now I'll wait for the new Nexus to see how it is.

edit: Battery life is MUCH improved. I'm only on the 2nd discharge after a full charge. Trying to fully discharge it a few times and refill. If your still on the original battery like I was, replace it. Cheap and easy. The only downside is this is the second time I have opened up the case so water can easily damage it now and its not as tight a fit as before.
[Nexus 5 General] fanta110:
Got new battery from LG service center for EUR 22, yes a bit expensive, but it's original! Date on battery 2015.12.09 half year old I think.
[Nexus 5 General] amnher:
I am now going to get my nexus 5 battery replaced in a LG Service Center. Cost around almost 20USD. Im getting drunk with my phone's battery life. I get a one hour from 100% down to 0% in just one hour of online gaming. The weird thing is the charging time that only takes abount 45-60min and its full from 15%->100% I already flashed different kinds of roms but same results.

I just have a few questions

1. what are your charging time using stock charger?

2. Though it is an LG Kiosk with a mini service center, how do I check if my battery is original? Someone said it is on the temperature?
[Nexus 5 General] Sanjayns:
Around 2 to 3hrs.. try turning off and then charge your mobile
[Nexus 5 General] amnher:
I changed my battery now. And here is my initial result after first charge. My sot increased from 1hr to 2.5 hrs almost. Not mods, stock rom not rooted
[Nexus 5 General] Shimaran:
Replaced my battery 3 weeks ago with one I purchased from Amazon. It's almost worse than before, when using the phone heavily I loose 2 percents per minute. And my average SOT is 1 hour and a half. Any tips on where should I get a real good battery from ? I live in France and I don't know if I have many options here...
[Nexus 5 General] amnher:
your best bet is to look for the nearest LG service center like I did and place an order for the battery. That way you can eliminate the danger of being given with fake ones
[Nexus 5 General] The_lil:
I tend to buy a new battery every 6 or so months. It's starting to get expensive :D

I actually did the LG G2 Battery mod and it was a glorious life with my phone, but sadly the new G2 batteries I am ordering seem to be larger in size. Anyone know if the G2 batteries have different sizes?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Bhgprox:
Bought a new battery at amazon (not sure if it's original). But i think i was worth it, went from 1 or 1,5 SOT to 1,5 SOT and still 40% battery left (playing some pokemon GO during this time).

Has someone bought one from spareslg.com? Are they original? I am looking to replace my battery and sadly Encompass can't deliver it in Europe. I keep searching but I can't seem to find a place that sales legit stuff :\ .
[Nexus 5 General] Jhonson530i:
Some advice please

I was about to change the battery for my Nexus 5 as I had been using it roughly at high school since 2 years ago. The battery drained quickly from a full charge after just 3,5 hours on social media usage. I had phoned the service center and they suggested a replacement for the battery. However, my Nexus 5 was the 32GB version and the one sold in my country was only the 16GB version in which the service center said it's better to replace it back at the original purchase location, which is 3000+kms away in Hong Kong. Both batteries are BL-T9s however the service center said that the phone might not support the 16GB battery.

Some advice please? Anyone? What should I do?:silly::silly:

PS: There is a chance that I might be going to Hong Kong this winter, so a replacement there is stll possible
[Nexus 5 General] Pretoriano80:
I don't think there's any difference between the 16gb and 32 gb models regarding the battery, so in my opinion it's safe to go with your local repair service.
[Nexus 5 General] pankajramnani:
Yes, I agree.

There is no difference. I think you should just buy the battery and look up for how-to videos to replace them yourself. It's pretty easy.
[Nexus 5 General] Saint George:

I replaced my 3 year old battery and with the latest marshmallow it actually runs great and lasts a day and a half before having to charge again, it's like a new phone.

How is 2158 mah capacity a good result, the original battery is 2300mah?

:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] vades:
Original battery is 3 years old and lose 800mah, now it is 1500mah. And it is not capable to keep necessary voltage, that is why it discharging very fast. With new battery from nohon my Nexus last for 20 hours.

Any battery lost 10% of its capacity every year and it doesn't take into account damage from charging cycles. So even new battery can lose some mAh because of laying in stock for half of the year.
[Nexus 5 General] dirkzelf:
I see, thanks.

Can I actually measure the batterie's max mA fully charged load with AccuBattery? Is that accurate? I'll try it asap.

:good:
[Nexus 5 General] vades:
Yes after every charging it shows mAh that is pumped into battery) Also it show current for discharging and for charging state, mAh average and mAh for screen off. You can make some testing of this app. It has quite usefull features)[emoji106]

Do it your self,like I did. First buy one off Amazon,not a cheap one! Try to get from Amazon direct. Go by reviews. Next watch a video. Utubes good. It takes seconds to remove the back, then it's just six screws,round the top plastic housing. Uncool the battery and carefully remove. Has two sided tape on. Put new in,etc. Ten mins tops and that's taking time. I changed mine early do kept the old one for emergencies and to prove that it's been replaced should I sell. I won't as I love it!

What a world of difference with a new battery. With the new screens the usage is A LOT heavier than the old ones since on the old battery just looking at the phone would take off 5%.

Nothing changed in between the two batteries ROM, app or kernel wise.

Is it possible that there was a faulty batch of nexus'? I would've thought the batteries would last a lot longer.

And as much I would've liked to blame lollipop it's obvious there was a hardware issue

I'm sure you guys can figure out which is which!

Tbh i'm not sure why you keep advocating amazon. The likelihood is amazon and eBay have EXACTLY the same batteries. Both are marketplace sellers, it's not like amazon directly sell batteries. If anything I would choose eBay over amazon for such items, just because of their buyer protection.

Even if an marketplace order on amazon is 'fulfilled by amazon', they still have nothing to do with it other than packaging and shipping. If eBay is the cheaper option, I would go for eBay.
