Has anyone had issues with overheating while charging the original battery? When charging and idle, my phone is hot to the touch even through the case, and if I try to watch videos while charging, the device will stop charging after a few minutes and wont resume until I let it cool down a bit (possibly because of thermal throttling). AccuBattery shows that I'm at 78% health based on 24 sessions, but between this and the explosion posts on reddit, I'm getting a little worried.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bigmatt503:
That's never happened to me. Watching TV while charging will definitely get your phone hot

I finally got my Cameron sino battery and my back cover and camera glass yesterday.

I swapped my battery in about 40 minutes. The only thing I broke was the camera glass (had a new one anyway). Overall not to hard to do the swap...just take your time
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Mikegrmn:
Sounds like this could be coming up for me within a year (I bought my 6P about 3 months ago). I hope that there still will be replacement batteries available. No one knows yet whether or not the replacements will flat out after a similar amount of time, right? I´m still wondering if this is a battery issue or something else. So far my 6P has everything I want from a phone. Did someone else´s battery die where the fast charging wasn´t used? I still wonder if it could be related to fast charging.

Hi anyone, have the link to cameron sino battery website? Their website seems to be down.

I got Mine from Amazon.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

All I know is my phone was 10 months old and accubattery said it was at 78%... NO shut offs or anything like that... Just quick draining battery.

I have been using the oem charger since new. Now accu battery is showing 99% after one cycle. Big difference with stand by time for sure
[Nexus 6P Accessories] P4P3RB4G:
How was the phone battery wear doing? Does it wear faster than the normal oem battery that you used?

Which link did you bought?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KV4OIDE/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_1_w

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KV4OG90/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_2_w

Was the vendor from batterycentreUS?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] strader45:
Did you buy your phone from Huawei, Google, or a third party? And did they replace the battery for free? I bought mine through Amazon, and I'm trying to figure out if I can get a replacement or not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
Huawei will replace your phone battery for free as long you bought the device from the same country the service center is in and the phone is still in warranty.(Meaning if you bought a N6p from Malaysia and the device is intended for the Malaysian market you can send the device to a Malaysian Huawei service center).

Huawei service center will charge you if your warranty is expired to the amount of >=30 US dollars depending on the country. The amount I am stating here is from Malaysia.

I think buying a third-party battery(which can be better than the original Huawei battery"ex: Cameron Sino") and changing it yourself will be less costly and time consuming even if you can send the device to the source country and doing the replacement. Some users have reported that their devices got minor scratches after sending their devices to Huawei service center for battery replacement.

So if you are brave enough and have patience do it yourself but get the required tools for doing the job properly.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mobamoba:
If you live in a reasonably-sized city there's likely a phone store that will do it for you. Accubattery was showing my OEM at 55% capacity after a year. I bought the Cameron Sino from Amazon for $23 and paid a local store a service fee of $50 to change it for me since I didn't want to risk cracking anything. Accubattery now shows my capacity at 99% and shows the tested capacity at higher than the 3450mah of the OEM.

It's annoying to pay $73 a year or so after buying the phone but worth it because the high-drain and shutdown issues are now gone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] frap129:
Just ordered a Cameron Sino battery off Amazon for $23. I also ordered some thermal pads so I can do the thermal mod from https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-improve-cooling-greatly-reduce-t3323898 while my phones taken apart. I'm hoping that improving thermal transfer will slow down the battery degradation in the future

Replaced the battery in my phone earlier today, wasn't all that bad just about melted the bottom half piece that covers the phone haha. I keep a case on my phone so I don't care about that till I buy a new piece.

Hello;

I purchased and installed this battery. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY45AU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is supposed to be a stock replacement. Can't tell for sure, but looks good. Did the replacement in about an hour. Yes, removing the glass back cover is the hardest part. I am only on my second charge, but so far has completely fixed both my battery life and early shutdown woes. I have previously tried several roms and kernels including unrooted stock.

I shrunk/melted the bottom screw cover as well... but use a case and no issues otherwise.

Hi all. I'm a new 6p user and already have some problem s with my battery. Just read all posts and I have an idea to share battery usage screenshot from accubatt app as u all using this software. My battery is getting low very fast, is it normal for 6p to have statics like this(please see attached screenshots)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] therock3181:
1 session is not enough to base a fact on the estimated battery capacity left. Wait at least 10 sessions.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Eric214:
I still average 6.5 to 7 hours of SOT and from 7am to 11pm I'm usually still at about 55-60% on most days. That's email all day, about an hour of phone calls a day texts all day long web browsing about 1.5 maybe 2 hours a day. and maybe 30-45 min of YouTube. I'm still on my original battery and bought mine Feb '16.

Using Accubattery, the app estimates my battery to be at 2987mAh which is 87% capacity.

I feel the trick is taking care of your battery. That means try and charge it when it's still above 50%, you will get more charge cycles that way.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
Where did you buy from? That's strange....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] highvista:
That's definitely not the Cameron Sino. It looks like an eBay battery I bought with the Huawei name blacked out but with all other indications it is an actual OEM battery. The fact that it has a temperature sensor and the thicker cable seems to point to someone having a source of actual OEM batteries that are gray market or possibly rejects/seconds from Huawei. Hard to say.

Would this Nexus 6p battery replacement from Newegg be a good alternative? It's got good reviews and might get it but just wanted input before buying
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
Hmm... So I currently have a Nexus 6P H1512 (international version), I had a US version and when I moved to Japan I ended up selling that one and buying the international version as it did not have the correct regulations etc..

Used my phone for about a year then coming past its warranty period it started crapping up.

I was seeing like 1-1.5 OST hours... I bought a battery one from Amazon USA (not the Cameron one) for some reason that doesn't do USPS to send to Japan. Anyway.. swapped it and boom new life.. but then I was only seeing about 3 OST hours and while better than before, it didn't have a temperature meter (kinda dangerous) and AccuBattery after 129 sessions was seeing 97% 3,354mAh/3,450mAh but my battery would go down every 2% and rarely hits 100% (always 99%),.. it'll go like 99->97->95 etc.. and sometimes at a faster rate so I sometimes doubt the AccuBattery can track it right. (I'm still on Nexus 6 stock 6.0.1, stock kernel etc..).

I was browsing Amazon.co.jp (Japan's Amazon) and I saw these two.. batteries:

http://amzn.asia/fQ8fx6h The Ribbon is thicker just like the OEM.

http://amzn.asia/ak43PmP The Ribbon is thin just like the cheapo ones but! it has 4 reviews (3-5star, 1-4star)

So I'm debating on which one to get, I'll do next day delivery to test.

I just want something to hold me off till Pixel 2. :good:

Cameron Sino

Hey I also bought the "Cameron Sino" battery from the same link and received a similar OEM looking battery. How is the battery life, and how is the temperature sensor? Can you describe the overall health of the battery?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
The battery health of this battery is at 98%reported on Accu battery now the temperature sensor works as the original battery did and battery life is better than my old battery which was at 76% health
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
So I got the battery from the second link I posted since it had more reviews, didn't wanna take a stab on the other one. So far I feel that the battery drain is better on this one. Have yet to see the battery life till I get more sessions but it did charge to 100% , it had a thicker cable and temp sensor as well as the drain is going at 1% now vs. the other one I got which went down by 2% and drained heavily.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] guyderam:
Question. I just changed my battery. Do i need to do some sort of calibration or just use it as it is?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] therock3181:
No battery calibration required.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
My new battery's first cycle was full of instant shutdowns. But second and third cycles no issues so hopefully was just the phone adjusting. I never had these issues with original battery so you could imagine my surprise. ??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] KLit75:
So suppose you accidentally ordered the wrong battery...not the wrong battery but one youre pretty sure it doesn't have a temp sensor.

This thing's on its way from China and it'll be at least a week (maybe 4 weeks) before it arrives. IF it doesn't have a sensor and you install it, what's the probability it'll potentially damage your phone? Are there safeguards that can be employed to make damage less likely?

Or are we talking about essentially turning this into a Samsung Note where you need to be scared to put it in your pocket?

***I'd add this seller has positive reviews, 1 written, that does state it arrived without temp sensor BUT has been working very well for over a month.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] highvista:
I replaced my battery and had an instant shutdown just after. During the next week, it did it a couple more times with no apparent or consistent cause. I also couldn't power up the phone again without attaching it to a charger. Then, with most of a full charge, I tried taking a picture and that triggered the shutdown. I ended up getting another battery, which has been solid for several weeks now with no shutdowns.

I think the first battery was probably defective, since the seller had good reviews. The second battery looks identical to the first, but I did get it from a different eBay vendor, just in case.

Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
So we just confirmed that the battery is definitely the cause of early shutdowns. At least in our cases and maybe most. If your changing your own battery might be a good idea not too put the phone back together until you can be assured the battery will hold up and works properly. :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
Yeah tbh I never had the early shutdowns till I swapped to a new battery.

Battery 1:

Thin ribbon

No temp sensor

3 OST ~ average

early shutdowns/some apps triggers shutdown where you cant turn the device back on till its plugged in.

big big drain, goes down by 2% at a time

Battery 2:

Thick ribbon

Battery sensor

(havent fully tested OST) does hold a charge on idle

no early shutdowns so far

normal drain, goes down by 1% (works fine)

So we could say that battery is a primary issue and the thing is even swapping it is not guaranteed as you need "good" batteries since they dont provide one for us. The OEM battery seem to get worse and when it hits that year mark it gets crappy. Mine was seeing constant use and eventually had a 1.5 OST regardless what kernal/rom/governor i used etc..

I'm set right now on 6.0.1 but I may install 7.1.2 fresh install to have a.. new phone feel :p
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
Vendor sending me replacement battery let's hope this ones good. At least I'm expert at taking the phone apart and thank God I didn't destroy the original battery. Would hate to use the loner phone! ?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
Got a notification from ifixit that the original Nexus 60 is back in stock... Although the price of 24$ isnt something that's interesting me... Any thoughts if I should spend that much for a original
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
After replacing the battery I got from Amazon JP I must say I'm quite satisfied. http://amzn.asia/2E6uGyp (ribbon is actually thick and has temp sensor).

I replaced the battery, changed out my case and tempered glass and flashed to 7.1.2 stock. Feels like a brand new phone and super quick :p

Its too soon to check OST in my case, day 1 after installing 7.1.2 I got maybe 4 OST and that's with downloading updates/apps/restoring backups. This will at least hold me out till Pixel 2 or whatever I get in the future :D :good:

So I'm guessing If the battery has at least a thicker ribbon it may have temp sensor and if the battery has temp sensor as well as has been made within the a year or two it should still hold good charge. I cant speak for all but the ones without a thick ribbon/no temp sensor seem to have less quality imo. Remember if the temp goes high the hardware is suppose to throttle so it could pose ass a safety issues if it doesn't have one unless the battery temp sensor is just for show and doesn't slow down the hardware.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] guyderam:
I too just replaced my battery with a so called "original" Huawei battery. It has a thin ribbon with a sensor. Its definitely better than the stock battery. Only issue is it charger up to 89/91% and stops. Replugging the charger can boost the charge upto 93/96% max. My question is, will repeated ?

replugging of the charger frequently damage this new battery? Its health is at 92% on accu battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
My other replacement battery kept stopping at 99% and on a rare occasion stop at 100%, now I don't know if it becomes easier after more sessions but that wasnt the case with me. My new battery from day one hits 100% so far :good:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] frap129:
Starting to question the source of the battery degradation issue. I replaced my battery with a Cameron Sino a little over 2 weeks ago, and I'm already down to 94% according to accubattery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nehemoth:
Same here but I was wondering if AccuBattery has something to do. After last week I haven't pay any attention about the battery issue, I was under the impression that my battery has suffered certain degradation over time but nothing extreme.

Last weekend I found out this thread and installed AccuBattery, days after my phone came to 20% and the phone just power off; days passed by and haven't seen this behavior again, until now when happened again.

Obviously I'm not drawing any conclusion but in the same way I was under the perception that my battery was no so good before the AccuBattery installation, in the same way my perception is that AccuBattery maybe hurt the battery too.

Anyway, just ordered the Cameron Sino battery and AccuBattery will remain installed.

Let's see
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UZ7:
So far satisfied with my battery. I left it off the charger and on idle barely drains :)

Still too soon but better than my other battery that's for sure!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
A worthy alternative to replacing the OEM battery would be to get a case that has an external battery in it like Zerolemon 8500mah (~2.5 battery charge, 3 day life with average use from reviews) for the price of 55 US dollars from JD.com.

I am really considering this option since there will be no risk of scratching or scuffing the phone due to the replacement process if replacing the battery is the way chosen, also it will eliminate the need to buy other tools to do the change for 1 time or 2.

The only downside is the bulkiness of the case which will turn the phone into a brick to which I don't mind. I wanted to throw this option to the people who are not sure yet what to do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
New battery is a generic and temp sensor don't work but standby and backup are incredible. Only been a few days but looking pretty optimistic :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] FuturePrimitive:
Well, not sure if I should post in here or start a new thread but... I replaced my quite degraded OEM battery (AccuBat was showing 42% battery health) with the Cameron Sino battery today. All was going well (except I broke the glass over the camera) but when I put it all together I'm not getting anything on my screen. At first I thought it was completely dead and I'd ****ed up my phone but then I noticed the screen (or digitizer I guess) was responding to touches on the screen, I could feel the touch feedback/vibration. I was also able to shut the phone down by holding the power button and guessing where the "shut down" button was, confirmed by the long shutdown vibration. I took it all apart again and verified everything was hooked up properly and nothing was broken/severed (that I could tell anyway). Kind of at a loss here, anyone else had any issues like this after a replacement? Start replacing ribbon cables?
