[Asus Transformer TF701] Danforth:
I've experienced the same thing. I assumed it was because the surface of my tablet wasn't perfectly flat but instead slightly concave. I get the same problem if I put my tablet in a certain case in my backpack without the keyboard dock -- this apparently puts pressure on the screen with the same result.

I've tried putting a thin microfiber cloth between the dock and the screen when closing it, but the problem still occurs. When it happens I don't consider it a big deal though -- after a relieving the pressure, the screen returns to normal in a minute or two. To eliminate the problem I now usually carry the tablet and the dock in separate cases in my backpack, because I don't use the dock most of the time.

I'm thinking of buying a new battery for my Nexus 4. The battery life isn't terrible, but the last 30% drops very fast. Like 5% at the time.

Where I can buy a new battery that really is Genuine? I know that there are tons of sellers in Ebay who says their batteries are Original but how can I tell? Is there any holograms on the battery or any other specific characteristics I should keep my eye on?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3I2APAM0V9MAJ I found this seller who ships to Finland. It costs £25.43 including shipping or ~35€/$40 and I think it is too much for a battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rondias18:
I would suggest replacing it from the official LG Service Center nearby, it'll be more cost effective than buying online. Atleast for me it was very cost effective
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Curl3w:
http://www.spareslg.com/bateria-lg-e960-nexus-4-lg-optimus-g-e975-eac61898601.html 100% original and cheap. If they wont send the battery to Filand (according to your profile) contact them.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Mustang243:
Thanks for the replies. Nearest official LG Service center is 200km away so I can't visit there. But I send them email asking how much it would cost if they shipped the battery to me.

Curl3w, I checked the sit and they will ship to Finland but there wasn't any info how it would cost. Also when I tried to order it, it said "Shipping price not available, you will receive shipping price by email after order". So I emailed them asking about the shipping. We'll see.

Cost

Hi. How much did they charge at you at LG Service Center?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] slybunda:
LG service center charge £76 for replacement battery
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dark Emotion:
£76? For that kind of money that battery should have infinite amount of energy.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Mustang243:
I don't think that the battery in that thread is Original. As I said, I'm looking for battery that _really_ is original. I found an authorized LG Spareparts seller here in Finland. If I recall it cost 17€+shipping (23€ or 24€ in total or ~$25-$26) so it's quite reasonable price and I can be sure it is original and it will have warranty.

I recently bought a new one on newegg.com. it seemed pretty genuine to me it didn't come in any fancy packaging but it did have the LG logo on it. been using it for a couple days and it works great!

It's so nice to see price in ₹. My Nexus 4 often automatically turns off after 30% and doesn't switch ON if Power button is pressed. Plugging charger switches on, But battery level appears 0%. I am from Chennai, Tamil Nadu and looking to replace battery, assuming it fault is battery. Am I right that, Battery is the problem???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, it looks like the problem is with the battery. However, to make sure try some ROM and see if you are getting same result there also :)

I am planning to order it. But waiting for the sellers response on warranty period.

EDIT: The seller responded, the battery is 1:1 of original & a year of warranty. So probably I'm not buying this one.

did you do it in Mumbai? Which service center? If not with above battery, I'll go with LG Care

idle time about 18 hours

with screen on - at least 4, can't say definitively as I haven't tested specs extensively

Only £4.99, not new but has been checked and is as good as a brand new battery. I brought 1 from them a couple of months ago and it works perfectly! Better than spending out £74 at the service centres!

EDIT:- Not in stock at the moment but do often have them in!

Bought this on ebay. look's authatinc , hope it will give new life to my N4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hern1989:
After using it for a week, I noticed very little improvement, which leads me to believe that the battery i purchased is not authentic. I get roughly 2hrs of screen on time. It goes from 100% to 95% after I remove it from the charger. If it reboots i lose about 20% battery.

Edit: i decided to take a look at the battery i purchased and noticed it's not the same weight as the original. Please don't buy from eBay. They claim is an OEM product and its not. The back of the battery is completely different to the original.

My Nexus 4 is 3 years old and I figured I would order a battery as a standby, but after searching everywhere I can't find one where users report that it isn't a piece of junk. I also can't find where I could order a new one directly from LG in the United States. Planned obsolescence I guess.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
Why not get it replaced from LG service center?

Mine is also three years old and I'll be replacing it tomorrow at a lg service center for 1013 INR :thumbup: that's about 15 $
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pjc123:
I did that already.

The LG Local Repair Providers do not fix cell phones; cell phones are not listed as a repairable product.

I called LG and they would not sell me a battery because the rear cover is not user removable (As in easily removed that is). You have to send it in for a repair and they will not even give you an estimate for the cost until the technician has a look at it, so forget it, when it dies it dies.

I gather this is a USA problem getting it easily replaced.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bigb1234:
Do they sell original?? I'm also from mumbai, india. Thinking of replacing my n4 battery. Got the same 1013 rs. quote from service center. But i'm confused whether they will be original.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
If it's authorised service center then there well be no question about authenticity of the battery.

I'll report back her when I get it replaced it today afternoon :thumbup:

Have used it 4-5 days now and I'm not happy with the performance. Earlier with the old battery I used to get close to 2.5 to 2.45 hours sot. With the new one getting around 3 to 3.15 :(

The date on the battery is Jan 2015. Called the service center and he suggested me to downgrade to Jelly Bean :banghead: WTF

Asked him to replace the battery and he agreed to it after telling him that I'm an across developer and not to tell me lame reasons :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bigb1234:
Good point...must look out for manufacturing date...it's good though that you are gonna get a replacement...ask them for oct/nov 2015 maufacturing. Please post closeup pics of front and back of new battery.[emoji2]

OK, visited the service center today and got the battery replaced. This time I got the one whose manufacturing date is 29 July 2015 :)

Hi,

Here is an update on my battery purchase from eBay, as one of the members asked for.

Although, replacing the battery was not so easy , i was able to replace the battery at the end. I can see a big improvement in the total standby time, SOT is not so important to me.

if in the old battery I would have lost a % in 8 minutes, now it will drop a % every 18 minutes or so.

I have attached pictures of the new battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dor-b:
Yes, see the post above
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kassu99:
i bought a battery from ebay and changed it today. works well aswell :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
packaging looks nice. i recived in cartoon box with tools from aliexpress. and mine is not original.

is this battery you bougt same dimensions like original you removed from phone?

mine is couple of mm smaller and i have gap in case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dor-b:
Yes! The battery was looking just like the original battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
this is fake batery. lenght 6.5cm
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
tnx. if dimensions are the same,than this is original. when you say about %,you mean when screen is on or when phone is in sleep mode. i loose over night about 1% per hour. 2g network,wifi on
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dor-b:
The stats about the battery that I gave, was from battery widget reborn app. I can check tonight how much I lost overnight.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nathan1314:
Anymore info? I am looking for a battery and there are so many how to decide which will be the best.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
mine battery gives me -25%(about 3 years old) with battery widget pro,with battery widget reborn 12%. as i see this battery looks genuine if dimensions are same as original battery from nexus. also packaging look different as you can find on the web. i got mine in paper box. so this is probably original.

also i changed and back cover and i know how it looks. mine is not original but it fit nice and have nfc.

original have frame around the camera,camera is not in center of the frame(with clones), and inside nfc is glued with all other parts with one sticker. i found this in ebay and i think it is original from lg.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-LG-Goog...469372?hash=item1c52840a3c:g:XMkAAOxy5rpSSgN5

chinese clones look nice,almoust like original.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
im little inveatigate and i found there are also clone battery with dimensions 6.8 cm(like original). can anyone who ordered original battery(from lg spareparts) or who see original package(works in service etc.) confirm that original package looks like in Dor-b attachment?

i look and i cant find anywhere(ali,ebay) packaging like that,so i guess it is original. there is no logic someone put fake batteru in hermetic package with lg logo...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hern1989:
The fake battery i thought i bought is actually working good. I plugged it back at 13%. I was mostly on wifi.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Caner092:

How is the battery life (SOT) now?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] miksontije:
before, with 2g network,wifi from time to time, i have about 3-3,5 hours sot. with 3 years old battery.

now with wifi all time on,3g network i have about 4.

before in sleep mode trough all night i have 1% lost per hour. now 0.5%

hellscore kernel,hellsactive mode

battery from ebay is ok.

sot time,hmhm.... it is not same when i watch movie,or browsing on internet or do benchmark. it is not so relevant,bcouse i dont have all time same aplications running.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Caner092:
My battery from Ebay has arrived, and it has newer date on it than the others in this thread. I compared the sizes between my stock battery and I can say that they are identical. It's now charging to full and I will update this post with some usage details later. :)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dor-b:
Well, apparently reverting to latest google image factory, will improve the performance of the new battery.

So, two weeks ago I ordered the battery that Dor-b had mentioned because I figured my original battery was due to be replaced. Still waiting for it because it is coming via a slow boat from China. So what happens today....My original battery expanded and tore the entire back off of the phone and even broke the protective phone case I had installed. The battery is a now a giant bubble. I don't know what other damage it has caused yet. When the new battery arrives I will see if it is fixable and just use it as a backup, or Linux device or something. Looking at a replacement but really don't know what, maybe a Moto G or X, as the new Nexus's are just too expensive.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ümit:
What think you about oneplus 2 or X?

Or xiaomi redmi note 3?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pjc123:
I ripped the phone apart yesterday and the damage isn't that bad. Nothing contact cement can't cure. I see that my new battery has finally arrived in the states and will be delivered this week, so if everything works I will probably hold off on the new phone.

EDIT: I installed the battery but the phone runs super hot now, like cpu temp of 65 - 80 C. I am not saying the two are related, and in fact the battery temp is OK. Battery charge time does take longer, but maybe that will improve over time, assuming the CPU doesn't ignite the phone first. Maybe it's days are just numbered. It was a cheap attempt at trying to fix it., so what the hey. The phone is burning my finger.......can't type any more.....ouch!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] TundraLK520:
Its very difficult to find original battery for nexus 4 since its an old device.

The best bet is to go to your LG service centre. It costs like Rs 1000 in India. I'm sure the cost would be around the same if not less everywhere else. Unless the problem is accessibility of service centres.
