Took the plunge and replaced the battery. At the first insertion of my precision knife the vizor cracked. That was really the hardest part to do. Luckily I ordered a replacement vizor in advance so I now got a brand new vizor. The battery came already 50% charged. Now charging it to full and let's see how long this baby can fly...

Let's say you get a 100% legit Huawei battery..(not those fake versions that maybe age better but for sure have less capacity).

Then...

Why would risk this putting the same Huawei battery that half of the people got fu**** between 6-18 months?

I think there is too much luck in 6P legit Huawei batteries.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
Half is a massive overestimate!

If Google or Huawei refuse an RMA and you want to get another year+ out of a device that would otherwise have to be replaced, you don't have a lot of choice.

I'm happy with the battery and £12 to extend the life of my 6P by 5 months (so far) is well worth it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] JazzMozz:
Well, I ran into a problem after having replaced my battery. When I'm in a call, the other party cannot hear me, although I can hear them. The funny thing however is that when I put my phone on speaker we both can hear eachother perfectly. So I can rule out the possibility that my mic is broken. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cms062407:
ahh okay, ya..I did know that the Google Store does that...I guess I assumed you were doing it directly through Huawei. I bought mine at Best Buy...so, I guess I have to go through Huawei Directly, right?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
No idea
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shiz222:
I think we're diverging a bit from the intended first post. Let's not forget we're buying a batter for 17 dollars off ebay from shenzen China. Over analyzing this to death as a direct replacement for the oem battery seems pointless in my book. The old adage you get what you pay for seems ever more true in this case.

I've used two instances of these eBay batteries first one lasted me I'm going to say about 6 months then it just stopped holding a charge. Mind you I did drop the phone so not sure if that was the culprit. Currently on battery number 2 same supplier going on a month strong seems to hold the same amount of charge as the original with no temperature side effects or exploding phones in my pocket.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
^well the fact that it's working for you is what matters! Better than having to buy another device... Kudos
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Edit: I stand corrected. Not OEM after all.

This one the label matches the OEM label exactly to a teardown image online. Many are similar but do not match.

Isn't there a better quality battery for our phones available? The OEM ones seem to be quite crappy.. Degradation is a real issue and lots of 6p's are having early shutdowns which get worse when in the cold.. My battery had around 86% capacity left after one year and had the shutdown issue. After replacing the battery the issue was gone..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Assuming the picture is right, then no that's clearly not OEM. See https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+6P+Teardown/51660

That batter is missing the entire large Huawei logo at the top. Also, you're not gonna find an official Huawei battery for $12 lol :)

I will replace mine in a few weeks and report how it is.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Vaseag:
I changed mine today with one from amazon :) ...will keep with updates ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
It is fake, reason why? The flex cable is thinner than the one on the OEM battery. I have looked extensively for an OEM battery but i have found none. The battery I hot holds up pretty well giving me at least 4/5 hours screen on time with moderate usage off of one charge. Only thing is, when hardware needs a voltage spike, the device seems to reboot, (YouTube while using Snapchat) . I'm pretty sure it's a battery issue, the temp sensor is not reading actual temp, and that leads me to believe there are other sensors/details left out from original battery. I've been messing around with nexi for a bit running LOS with flash kernel 01/20 magisk and I get good battery life. I ordered the battery from GDC hopefully that has a temp sensor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shiz222:
So update after using this eBay one for about a month now. Battery life seems somewhat similar to OEM. I can only go by my usage habits and when i have to plug back in which is fairly consistent with the previous battery. I did notice however that whenever I charged and never seems to go past 93%. I don't know if this is actually the point where its charges or its poor calibration. Here's a question does anyone know if there's a way to recalibrate the readings for the battery?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
The thumbnail is not the same as the battery from the ebay link. Which one is the one you got?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] badabing2003:
Hi Guys,

My Nexus 6P from November 2015 is exhibiting problems that most users here have experienced.

First it started shutting down when the battery reached around 15%, now it's more like 25-30% when it shuts down.

Based on what I've seen here, is it safe to assume that this requires a battery change and that there's nothing I could do about it without a battery replacement?

Recently it also started powering off when put on charge, anytime I plugged it to a power charger or even a computer, I would come back to find the phone either rebooted or in shutdown state, and often hot (not too hot, but hot)

It did this for few days, but in the past couple of days it stopped doing it.

(I had tried it with various chargers and cables)

The main thing I want to know is your opinion if I should send it for repairs / replacement.

I do have Nexus care purchased which expires in November 2017, however if I make a claim, I would have to pay $99 + tx (didn't know about this when I purchased it, had I known, I would have not bothered getting Nexus Care for close to $200)

My phone is in good condition physically, and everything works fine with the exception of the battery, which AccuBattery reports about 55% life, and I have to set the max charge to 68% to get 0 wear, which doesn't leave me much wiggle room.

Should I make a claim and risk getting a bad replacement, or one that doesn't have a good battery or should I get a good battery myself and do it myself?

If it is the latter, which battery is advised (that is also in stock), I don't mind paying a little extra to get a good battery, in any case I'm sure it would be cheaper than Nexus care.

What's your experience with Nexus care? should I expect a good replacement? if so I don't mind filing the claim, I'm just worried that I might get a lemon and regret it.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Marced for Life:
I've recently replaced my battery with a Cameron Sino aftermarket battery and it is fantastic. My original battery had a little bit more life to it than yours, but I was getting early shutdowns, crap life.

But man, the new battery makes the phone brand new again.

So the question is DIY vs Nexus care. The DIY approach is quicker and cheaper but you will need to have the right tools, good patience, and skilled hands.

Nexus Care, on the other hand, will remove any risk of breaking the device and I assume have the battery replaced with a proper OEM battery.

So I think it mainly comes down to risk for reward. If money and time aren't so important, go for Nexus care. Otherwise DIY.

I'm from New Zealand so it's not much help linking the store I got my battery from. However, the battery I replaced it with was this: http://cameronsino.com/ProductSearch.aspx?query=nexus+6p

Good luck!

My concern with Nexus Care is that they would replace my phone.

Anyone has any experience with Nexus Care (Now handled by Assurant, https://mydeviceprotect.com) good or bad? I'm concerned the replacement phone ending up being a lemon.

And http://www.cameronsino.ca does not have nexus 6p batteries :(

[Nexus 6P Accessories] JUSTINMARMER:
Just ordered the Cameron Sino from amazon. Got it for $7 after using up some points I'd been saving on my Chase Amazon Visa. They are currently out of stock until Sept 1st and estimate delivery between the 8th and 11th. I'm currently getting 69% battery health after 23 sessions. About 2371mah. Phone shuts off like clockwork at 15% unless I underclock CPU to around 700mhz. Then it'll go down to 2%. Getting around 3.5hrs SOT.

I don't have a heatgun so I'm hoping a hairdryer will do the job. I have playing cards and guitar picks of varying thickness. Are the screws just Phillips heads or do I need a special driver? Anything else I should get tool wise for this job?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Hair dryer worked fine for me, the camera glass was toughest part to get off. I would recommend a scalpel. They are Philips screws. I replaced the factory thermal grease on Soc with Extreme Phyobia Thermal Grease. It should in theory help the battery from getting to warm causing early degradation.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] spuri78:
Hey mate - I'm in AU. Do you mind sharing the link of the store you bought your battery from? I'm sure they'd deliver it here as well. Thanks!

I recently bought a battery from eBay seller "e-laptoppart". It seems to be genuine.

You can find it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-355...awei-Google-Nexus-6P-H1511-H1512/332355569273

I haven't installed it in yet to test though because my USB port is also worn out and the OEM daughterboard I ordered is backordered at the moment.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
If that is Genuine then you will most likely inherit same early shutdown issues. Gd luck!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ilikesnowflakes:
Honestly, the early shut off was not bugging me too much as I was on 6.0.1 and it only happened 35-50%. I always have a power bank on me so I got in the habit of recharging it before hand. What really killed it for me was the USB port got worn out so I can't charge the thing anymore. Either way, I rather stick with something that looks OEM than anything else. Anything is better than mine currently, and from what I've seen with my friend and some other forum posts, at least it will last a couple months. Then I can do another swap if needed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Hey if you like double work lol just seems silly to use same batteries that caused issue. If you don't mind I don't either ?. The Cameron Sino battery is stellar. Lasts all day and no early shut down bug. Couldn't recommend it enough. Gd luck dude!

Hi Guys,

I'm new to XDA, so be gentle :D

I searched amazon for cameron sino battery for my nexus 6p and realised that there are separate listings for Nexus 6p A1 and Nexus 6p A2. Does A1 and A2 refer to US and global versions?

And if so, I presume there are no differences in the batteries listed under A1 and A2.

And are those replacement camera glasses with adhesive strip for less than $10 any good?

Please Clarify!!

Many Thanks. in advance
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
Just FYI, just because lots of people are choosing the cameron sino battery doesn't mean that the others are all bad!

My replacement (probably a copy) OEM battery has been in for nearly six months now and also lasts well over a day with no early shutdown.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] matrixios01:
I plan to replace my battery myself. I would like if someone knows if a condition and replacement on the camera glass or if it comes in the same. I ask to order a camera mosque.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Camera glass is not that difficult to remove. You only need to do a mix between patience and heat while you pass the playing card through the glass. You only need to apply lesser force to lift the glass with the precision knife.

To me the worst step is to remove the back cover. Every time I do that I remove a part of the plastic border. Patience doesn't work in this phase....skill does.

And the "risky" one is to remove the battery be careful with the cable behind the battery.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Let's say it's OEM, it has a date on it and they are from when they first made the phone. So they have been sitting around and have early shutdown issue. Once you made so many charge cycles its going to do same thing. Like I said if he wants to take chance its his phone.

As I said, I "took a chance" and six months on, I'm happy that I did.

That makes since that you aren't having an issue yet as they mostly crapped out for most of us closer to a years use. Mine personally was around 14 months. So you're halfway there.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Azurael:
Mine lasted 10 months, and the battery I replaced it with had a similar manufacturing date to the original so I fully expect to be doing the replacement again shortly (probably go back to silver, too, the black paint is too easily damaged)

I'd quite like to take a bet on a 3rd party battery, since we know for sure that the Huawei ones are defective. When I did the replacement, I could ONLY find OEM batteries.

[MENTION=5609185]radionerd[/MENTION] The Cameron Sino I just received yesterday is totally black. The one you got has gold underneath the label.

I've yet to install it so I don't know if mine is legitimate. It's on my to-do list for tomorrow...

I got it from batterycentreus on Walmart.com. I saw they have a shop on Amazon too.

Again, don't know if mine is correct, but it definitely looks different.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Yeah I got mine from them, and its all black. I posted earlier in thread with link for other guy asking.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
Cool,

Can you post a picture of yours? There is a number on the bottom right side. I wonder if yours is different?

The Fake sensor one that I just purchased from Power-O-Matic has GB 31241-2014 printed on the bottom.

All of the pictures I've found of the Cameron Sino battery have GB/T 18287-2013 printed on them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
Mine is the exact same number as yours: GB 31241-2014.

I would have posted a picture, but right after I snapped it I got a shutdown at 60% remaining battery. Ugh, lol.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
Mine would always crash when I tried to take photos too ;)

I suspect yours will have the fake temperature sensor too. The battery it's self is performing well, about 91% health.

While charging the Temp reading will actually drop by about a degree with the cheap chip resistor as it heats up. I will try to charge over night with a slow charger since it won't sens when it's getting too hot while charging.

Thanks again for responding, good luck on the chore ahead :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Mihaillo:
After couple of months searching for good replacement battery for my 6p I found this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...xy-S4-i9500-i9502-i9508-i959/32373845819.html

I tried Cameron Sino and HSABAT. Both of them didn't have temp. sensor and could only be charged up to 96%. SOT was about 4h.

This new one has temp. sensor and above 5h of SOT. It's really big. It barely fit in the housing and it be weighing 56 grams, other two are both 44 gr (and they are physically much smaller then the new one). I recycled the original one so I did not measure the weight.

I did not have any problems with the early shutdown with any of these three batteries.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
After radionerd's experience with his Cameron Sino battery I'm getting nervous. Is there any way to check if you have a temperature sensor before installing the battery? What can I look for?

I guess my battery can't get any worse, but I'd hate to go through all the disassembly effort only to find out my new battery is lacking.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
Now that my phone is charged up, here are the pics of my Cameron Sino.

It weighs in at 44g
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
My phone is sitting disassembled, but the new battery is in and is charging. Currently at 86 F so I probably have the proper battery temp monitor.

The battery cable was too long on mine as well.

I'm going to let it charge up to 100% and then put it all back together.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Keep an eye on the temperature see if it moves more than a few degrees. 86 F is exactly 30C which is what mine stays at all the time now cause my new battery does NOT have the temperature sensor. If it does not have the sensor, it will not show 0 degrees, it will stay right at 30C (or 86F).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
Good info, thanks guys!

The temperature should go up soon after starting a fast charge. If it goes down while charging or doesn't change more than a degree or two that indicates a fake temperature sensor. They saved a nickel!

Because of that my battery will loose capacity sooner than a battery that has a temperature sensor.

The other battery sensors in our devices will still reduce charging current as the battery get closer to being charged.

My battery lacks a temperature sensor so there is potential for the battery to overheat to a damaging temperature while fast charging.

I monitor my charge current with an external USB ammeter as well as the data from my battery apk.

For me I usually charge overnight, so by using a lower current charger, or long cord on the OEM charger, that will hopefully slow down degradation of the cells.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
[MENTION=4834820]NateK[/MENTION]

A little late, but yes it's easy to see if replacement batteries have a thermistor. place an ohm meter on the pins I point to in the 1st picture below.

The thermistor is on the tiny PCB board. I checked at room temp, around 9K ohms, then heated with a hair dryer for about ten seconds on PCB, reading dropped to 4k ohms.

Then watched quick cooling recovery back to about 9k ohms (or what ever your room temp is). If it is fake, ohm reading might increase just a bit.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
My phone made it to 14% with the new battery after first charge and then shutdown. I got almost 24hours use out of it which never would have happened with the original battery. Still disappointing, however.

It doesn't look like the temp monitor works, either. It won't measure more than 86F +- 2 degrees.

So it seems that even with Cameron Sino, it's a crapshoot on the battery quality.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
No. It's your phone.

I had all kind of issues with my previous battery...early shutdown and very short battery life. And happening every single day.

I replaced the battery with a Cameron Sino and has been working like the first day for more than 4 months so far.

Not even a single day with an early shutdown nor a reboot. I can still reach 1% battery life. And before the replacement couldn't do that.

Temperature sensor is also working.

So the conclusion: your phone might have other hardware issues...

Or the Cameron Sino was faulty or damaged

Or the Cameron Sino was fake.

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
Yeah, but when did you buy your Cameron Sino? Perhaps they changed suppliers between then and now... It definitely wouldn't surprise me. I'm guessing they don't make their own batteries - they probably just slap their branding/packaging on it.

Now I just need to decide if I'm going to attempt this again. Is it easier to disassemble the second time? Obviously I won't have the same battle to remove the battery's glue, but how about getting into the case?
