Hi, I was wondering if someone on here bought replacement batteries on AliExpress and could provide some feedback is it worth or they are selling low quality products that will lose it's capacity or explode, leak by 1 month of using?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] leperousdust:
I'm very much at a new battery stage and would mind some first hand experience, or ANYWHERE I can buy quality batteries that haven't sat around for years or half ruined...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bjb2:
I would be interested to hear as well. From what I see on Ebay/Amazon, many batteries are pulls from old phones, even when they are advertised as new (there is glue on the back, etc). Which means unless your battery is totally dead it won't offer much improvement. Particularly if they are abused by sitting on shelves for a year discharged.

I do know the OEM battery has a manufacturing date on the bottom, however I really doubt they are still being made.

I have looked for batteries made by reputable 3rd party makers like Anker but they seem to cater to the removable battery phone, not internal.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] john410:
I don't care about it being original, but it sure needs to be good. Seems we have no options so far.

My Nexus 4 battery died and I had to change it.

The first battery I got was from https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SMMFWZQ

It worked well but after 3 months, I was back to 50% capacity. It seemed like a reconditioned battery. It had a date on it which was January 2015. However the label had been tampered with, some sections were blacked out with a marker.

So I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X1USMBA

This seems to be a new battery made out of new cells.

After one month this battery still holds 100% charge.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pjc123:
I bought the one mentioned in the battery thread in this forum back in January of 2016 and have not had any issues.

Aliexpress still sells original OEM LG batteries marked with Jan 2016 Date. I thought LG stopped making these batteries some time ago.

Could you share a link?

Hey

i bought this www.ebay.com/itm/301596384001

i replaced it two days ago and its great performance
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Curl3w:
you can buy the original battery (and almost every part of the nexus 4 ,5, 5x) at (official spare parts distributer providing worldwide delivery): http://www.spareslg.com/gb/bateria-....html?search_query=nexus+4+battery&results=16
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ahmedvip2008:
where you buy the battery from ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bledina:
I bought a battery on AliExpress last week, it took 10 days from order to delivery to Belgium (impressive).

I haven't installed it in my Nexus 4 yet (still waiting for the tools to come... shipping not as fast as wth the battery lol)

at least it looks very new. will report back once I install it and test it for a few days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
That looks pretty authentic -- anything make it seem like that's a KIRF version? Also, link please.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bledina:
The product webpage says "CUUSEY" as the brand so it's most likely a 3rd party copy (or a reconditioned battery)

you can find it here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...s-For-LG-Google-Nexus-4-E960/32659188109.html

Still haven't installed it in my phone so still can't comment on the quality of it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
Can you share your impression about the battery performance? That'll really help users who are looking to get a replacement battery. I replaced from LG service center but saw no improvements compared to the 3 year old battery :(

[Nexus 4 Accessories] bledina:
I finally installed my battery over the weekend. So far so good. Battery life doubled (I'm running the fake nexus marshmallow rom). I can finally go out for drinks without taking my power pack (had barely 4 hours of usage (not SOT) before!)

Sadly, a few days before I swapped the battery, the digitizer on my N4 finally gave up (like on so many others) and I have a vertical dead zone on my screen. I don't really feel like investing time and money to replace it so this is the end of the road for my good ol' Nexus 4. Hopefully a Pixel XL will replace it next month.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] imonkeys:
So you could send me your battery, as you seems to be one among the few finding a GOOD one ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
I've received the battery from AliExpress. It looks like it is a fake battery. Installed it just now.

Will post about how it performs in this week :fingers-crossed:

Edit 1:

After using it for 12 hours, I'm very much disappointed to see that I'm getting less backup than my 4 year old battery (I understand this is just initial period but I was not expecting this :(). See attached screenshot of battery drain.

Edit 2:

On very second day of this new battery, the phone switched off when battery was 18%... Opened a dispute on AliExpress straightaway. This is 100% fake battery

[Nexus 4 Accessories] nickimsonikimsi:
Guys i found a battery brand in aliexpress it's name is nohon and its like good brand is anybody try this brand batteries

Prices with ship about 15 dollar.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nitin.chobhe:
Do not trust these sellers. I also bought the battery from a good seller; but the battery that I got was fake (see my post above yours).

They are not even responding to the dispute.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Basmatek:
This Marval Power battery from Amazon gives me about 4 h SOT but for some reason it charges only up to 92℅ . I tried 2 LG fakes but this is better.

Battery monitor widget shows average capacity around 1650mah but i don't think is accurate.

Can you check if temperature sensor working fine?

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nARMstrong20:
Awesome! Is that with mobile data on? Also like the other guy said, does the temperature sensor work? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Basmatek:
I'm on WiFi about 60℅ of the time, data reduces battery life a little more than WiFi. Batt temp varies from 22c to 28c.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nARMstrong20:
I guess what I should be asking is if you have cell signal on, not necessarily mobile data. I have similar sot as you with wifi and cell signal, occasionally with data but the battery % tends to jump quite a bit.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Basmatek:
Yes, cell signal is on always on and very strong in my area, with 40-60 min voice calls daily.

How is the Nohon battery holding up several months later?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Basmatek:
Battery is holding up great, same if not better as my original battery in 2013 on kitkat. I think it also helps I'm on 7.1.1 now.

I ended up getting a new phone. The Nexus is still around, though.

[Samsung Gear S2] theo5388:
Been working on a watch face for the Gear S2. Largely based on the gorgeous Complication Poétique Midnight Planétarium, with a few of my own slight changes. The "planets" orbit the Sun at their realistic speed (i.e 88 days for Mercury, 365 for Earth, etc.). What I've also done is to make each orbit section of the background also rotate at the applicable speed...so each day the background will be different (for 92 years at least). All shadows move realistically for whatever is rotating, as well as the small reflections on each planet. I still have no idea what I want to do with the white star, nor am I certain of where I want to put a date indicator...suggestions?﻿

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witti96:
Hi,

I am using CM13 with ElementalX and I wanna mount a Samba share on my local network. I wanna use this with Tasker in combination with EncFS, thats why I need a mountpoint in my filesystem.

I've already tried some combinations of "su --mount-master", "busybox" and "mount" commands, but all I can get is "Invalid Argument" or "Interrupted system call". Changing SELinux mode doesn't help either and Apps like CIFSManager or Mount Manager also don't work.

Here are the two error messages I get everytime. No matter if i change the mountpoint (e.g. to sdcard) or the SELinux mode.

su --mount-master -c "busybox mount -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/share /mnt/smb/nas
mount: mounting //192.168.xxx.xxx/share on /mnt/smb/nas failed: Invalid argument

as soon as I remove the password, the error is another one.

su --mount-master -c "busybox mount -o username=USER -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/share /mnt/smb/nas
mount: mounting //192.168.xxx.xxx/share on /mnt/smb/nas failed: Interrupted system call

Did somebody manage to mount cifs shares on CM13 or Android 6 in general, using a Terminal command? If yes, whats the trick?

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuskiller:
Hi guys, i'm here to show you my problem. I've update to Marshmallow today and now i'm on Android 6.0.1, firmware version T715XXU2BPD6. Everything works just fine but i have a problem with the fingerprint sensor. In fact, with lollipop (5.0.2) i used it for unlocking my tablet, now it forces me to use a password, sign or PIN instead of using ONLY fingerprint (which was really fast and secure for me). Now i'm asking: Does anyone has the same problem? Can i still use ONLY fingerprint sensor (and so i'm an idiot because i'm not capable of solving this) even with the latest android version? I hope someone can help

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itandy:
It's just a new security measure which happens only once after each reboot.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuskiller:
I don't think so. Actually i can only use the fingerprint sensor if i unlock the screen using a flip cover. If i unlock it by power button or home button it ask for a pin. And i've rebooted, closed and so on.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itandy:
Strange this is not my case. I tried to unlock the screen by power button and it requires my fingerprint only.

6.0.1 fingerprint lock-out

Hi

This is a variation of the problem cited by the OP.

When 6.0.1 was rolled out it came with a warning to make sure you have your password ... famous last words.

Galax Tab S2 SM-T710

I accidentally allowed the update to 6.0.1 a few months back but did not have the password because I never used it after day 1, always used fingerprint. So after the upgrade, when it says I can't use fingerprint enter password, I am stumped. Samsung or Android seem to think that a password that has not been used more than once 6 months ago is more secure than my fingerprint that is used several times a day. Can't figure out why, really.

I called Samsung, they won't roll it back.

I have seen the video that says tap build number 7 times to get to developer mode, that does not work. USB hack etc.

I have created another user but cannot access original users space. Only 3 Gb left most of it used by original log on - now locked out.

Device not registered on Samsung find my phone and Android device mngr won't apply a new password, because there already is one. I can ring it, locate it dho, its in my hand, I can lock it, dho it is locked already, that's the problem.

Who the **** at android or samsung decided to invalidate my chosen security measure, fingerprint, lock me out of my device and why???! Has there been a spate of pickpockets stealing phones and cutting off peoples fingers to unlock the phone?

So if I do not want to to do a hard reset and lose the original users data, is there a work around?

I have never rooted a device so be gentle with me. ; > )

security version mdfv2.0 r6.

vpn v1.4 r 6.1

patch level 2 april 2016

I guess if I could reset or overide the password I'd then be able to set upmy new fingerprint. The new user,me, can use fingerprint. Go figure.

Many thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dennisg34:
If I DO get this phone, I will be new to HTC. Debating on this or the G5. Looking at the pics of this phone, the back button is on the left, recents on right. Can this be swapped? If not, I will not be getting the HTC. Sounds stupid, I know, but super OCD about that and I'm a righty.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] codeglitch:
The buttons are in the right way, they are even in the Google's way, there are some manufactures who like to use it in a different way.

If you can't adapt to that change and that is a deal breaker, you should probably go with another phone or an iphone, no back button there :P

On another note there might be someone who makes a mod to add this if you're rooted...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SteelH:
L->R back-home-recents....

Standard android layout. This isnt an HTC issue.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dennisg34:
I never said this was an issue with HTC at all. I was just asking if you can change these buttons (like LG). Samsung also has them L->R Recents-Home-Back.

Since I'm right handed with shorter thumbs, I can't deal with having to cross over to back out of something rather than a quick press near where my thumb hovers.

Bringing up an iPhone is completely irrelevant as I never said I don't like a back button (don't get me started how annoying that is that they don't have one when I'm showing someone who has one something).

I figured a mod, but didn't know if this was changeable without it.

I'm sure everyone has stupid reasons why they won't get a certain phone, guess I found mine. Thanks for the replies.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Stephen:
You can possibly do it via root and xposed, but it would only change the function of the buttons.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
So... I had no problems with my(second) idol 3, all was well and dandy. But recently the colours on the screen became more saturated, almost like an amoled display, followed by a significant decrease in performance. Nothing is changed, no root no nothing. Totally stock, except for the launcher. That would be Nova launcher and I used it since the day I got the phone with no problems. What the hell happened and has anyone else experienced this?

Random restart happened today and all my wifi passwords are lost.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
in which app the colors are saturated? stock gallery app?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
All over the phone. Not just the gallery. Perhaps the gallery is the fault for it?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
i asked the gallery 'cause on my idol mostly (but not the only one) the gallery app that distorts color badly... have you tried a CM rom? in my case there is no color distortion on CM at all so the stock rom obviously has the wrong color balance settings :(

check this

https://www.reddit.com/r/idol3/comments/4g9ld9/distorted_colors_in_stock_gallery_app/
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
Yeah, I know about the gallery app too. Can't really install a CM rom due to warranty, it's only two monts old. I'm sure that the problem can be solved with a full wipe but that is not the answer I'm looking for.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
I doubt that a wipe can solve errors like this. I did it a few times, restored firmware with Mobile Q, color distortions on stock ROM never disappeared. Best experience was with Color Balance app from Play Store. It's just too expensive for my budget.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
I have tried wiping cash but to no avail. The performance has slightly improved during the day but has returned back to garbage now. This is so annoying. Is there a way to check the "settings" for this without root? Maybe something in build.prop or such?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
without root you can't do any really useful. if you don't want to install cm, check this app (earlier i made a mistake with its name):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance&hl=en

If it can stop color distortion, at least you'll know that the phone hardware itself is correct, just the stock rom sucks.

-edit-

just read the new symptoms, at first i'd make a full reinstall with mobile upgrade q, if it doesn't solve anything, i'd go to a cm rom.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
The problem seems to have fixed itself. I don't know what happened. All it's buttery smoothnes has returned after an accidental tap on the gallery app. The saturation has returned to normal too. I'll check out the app link for good measure. Thanks for all the help. How does one close a thread?

Guess I spoke too soon. The phone just did something of a restart. The whole boot animation happened but none of my open apps(gmail and chrome) have closed once it booted. Very strange.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
that's normal, opened apps don't disappear from 'recent apps' after a reboot on lollipop.

however a reboot just from nowhere isn't normal.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
I did not know that. Guess I will have to do the mobile upgrade q procedure. I'll give it a few days before I do that though.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camper°7:
Welp. I've given it some days and the problem has not returned. Also, a fun thing i didn't mention. This replacement idol 3 is not exactly the same as the previous one. For example the camera lenses had a green tint on the first one, but on this one they're blue. And the logo niw sits flush with the surface instead of being pushed more inside.
