Anyone try the battery from fixez.com?

It doesn't look or at all, but it has that thick cable so I'm guessing it has a temp sensor.

Edit: got the battery in and it looks nothing like the picture. It does not have a temp sensor either. I just kept the eBay knockoff in my phone and sealed t up with a new housing.

And the rear camera they sent me was full of dust too, making it unusable.

Stay away from fixez...

Same here... I can reach 1% and 100%... everything is working.

Have you tried with another charger? I have a Nexus 5,X LG charger that sometimes doesn't charge phones to 100% (5X and 6P).

Hey guy's should I replace my battery I'm having that issue where phone shuts off at less than 30 % replacing the battery fix this problem thanks for the help
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hawkswind1:
One of the replacements I ordered did that. I got a refund and ordered from a different seller and everything was fine. I bought from this seller, no temp sensor but charges to 100%. Installed in January and still working well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-82V-3...wei-Google-Nexus-6P-H1511-H1512-/351786248092

I posted this in the shutdown thread. Was hoping to get some ideas here as well:

Have had random shutdowns for a few months. Some around 20% some at 8%, and sometimes it drains all the way down to 1%. USA. Bought from Google 10/1/15 with Nexus Protect. AccuBattery about 75%. My display is perfect, but a few dings in back, and a little bend in frame by volume button. Not sure what to do:

1) Let Google replace phone (maybe have same problem). Refurb or new?

2) Same as option 1, but I have to use my protection plan with $79 deductible.

3)Buy a new (better) battery/parts and fix myself...$40. Would get a new back also to fix scratches on back and small bend at volume button. Switch from black to Silver?

4) Some have gone to Google and get a full refund $549.

Quite happy with device still, except for shutdowns. If I got full refund might be interested in new device....maybe Mate 9? Or something else until Pixel 2? What do you all think?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shortbus1234:
I replaced the battery with Cameron one posted earlier. It was a royal pain in the butt. I cracked my screen do had to buy replacement screen with the body for $135. I could do it the second time without any trouble but it's not fun at all. Good news is that phone now works perfectly and battery is full capacity. Not recommended for the faint of heart lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] joemacjr:
So I took the plunge and got a new battery. Got the phone apart, broke the camera glass in the process. Rest went pretty well I thought, until I turned it on and no screen. Get some haptic feedback on the button presses. One thing I did notice is that when I removed the battery with a playing card, the three black strips on the body of the phone go torn up. It looked like the middle strip is some sort of ribbon cable. Does any one know what that is? Could that be causing the screen issue?

thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swapavi:
That's exactly what that is.. middle strip under the battery is the display ribbon cable... Best practice is to take the playing card to each side of the battery to cut through the adhesive...

Don't go all the way through the battery from one side to the other. Break the adhesive on the right side, then take out the playing card and break up the adhesive on the left side.

You should never touch the display cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] joemacjr:
That was my fear. Can I replace that ribbon or do I need a new display?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akenis:
Ouch....my fears! Guy above got the display cable. Ive done a bunch of devices before, and I'm pretty confident I could get through it. But not worth the risk if Google will replace.

They sent me link for RMA and replacement. I kept pressing for full refund, as I've seen here. We went back and forth about 4 times with him putting me on hold to go up a tier. You ended up putting in a special refund request, pending approval from another department.

Fingers crossed and waiting for the news...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
A full refund after 2 years of buying and using the phone.... God I love America ...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] FuturePrimitive:
I have the same issue. (I think, I don't see any damage to the display ribbon cable at all but the symptoms are exactly as you describe.) Unfortunately, I cannot find a replacement for just that cable anywhere, if anyone else knows a source please post! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
So I started having early shutdowns on my Nexus 6p last month, and when I checked my serial number on Huawei's warranty checker site, it said my warranty expired (even though I bought the phone brand new in a sealed box in June 2016). I figured Huawei wouldn't RMA my phone since I was out of warranty and I bought it on eBay, not an authorized reseller. I also didn't like the idea of possibly receiving a refurbished device that may not be 100% cosmetically. So I went on eBay and bought a battery and new back glass, but now I found this thread and people haven't had great results with eBay knock off batteries (which the one I ordered probably is as it was only $14), and some people broke they're screens and damaged the display ribbon cable. So my question is, should I just scrap the diy replacement and try to call Huawei and see if they will RMA my device anyway even though it's out of warranty and I bought it on eBay? If they do RMA it, what kind of device will I get back cosmetically?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] richii0207:
It's probably a good idea to see if they can RMA it since you won't lose anything from asking. Not sure about the condition but various oems give back similar condition phones.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
I doubt you can RMA but it's good to try, why I am saying this is because since you checked online and found out the warranty has expired that means the device was bought by the seller long time ago before he sold it to you and since he isn't an authorized seller you can't get a warranty from the date of purchase. But there are cases if you plead to Huawei Service Center and tell them about your situation they might RMA and give you another unit.

Anyway if the RMA thing doesn't work and you are afraid to do the battery replacement yourself I would suggest taking the device and battery to a repair shop and let them make the change for you but make sure they did a N6p battery replacement before so that they don't cause any damage to the device.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Ok thanks everyone. I did go ahead and call Huawei, and as soon as they looked up my IMEI they said my device was out of warranty and no longer covered, and that they couldn't even offer to fix it if I paid for them to do so. So I politely said "well ok then, I'm already signed up for the class action lawsuit against Huawei for this early battery shutdown issue, I guess I'll just have to rely on that then". Which is a try state lol. My next task is to see how much a local shop would charge to install the battery I bought, and make sure they've done Nexus 6p repairs in the past so they know what they're doing. What should I reasonably expect to pay, considering I just need the labor and will be giving them the battery and back glass to replace? I've done battery swaps before, but never on a device this complex. The last device I did a battery swaps on was a Nexus 5 (the original, not the 5x) and it was pretty simple.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
In Malaysia if you go to Huawei service center they charge you 127.20 rm (30 USD) that's for the price of battery and labor. If you go to a normal repair shop they charge more around 180 rm(42 USD) someone reported paying that amount. So since you have the battery they shouldn't charge you more than 20 USD worst case scenario.

Before you go to a repair shop ask your local Huawei Service Center how much they charge for battery replacement, after that subtract the amount you paid for the battery, the labor cost roughly should be that amount also try to haggle as much as you can.

By the way for your Info Huawei Service Center in Malaysia has been amazing here most of the customers who bought N6p and had issues with the device either repaired their phones or got a replacement.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Ok thanks! Maybe it's just Huawei's USA department, but when I called the first thing they asked for was my IMEI and then after he looked that up and saw the warranty expired in June 2017 he didn't even want to hear what the issue with my device was, the guy literally said "your warranty is expired, we can't do anything for you, we can't even offer to repair that device even if you pay us for the repair."
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
Yeah each Huawei service Center is different in their approach even in Malaysia some were good others were not over all I think customer satisfaction here is high, but what they did with you is standard procedure they have the right to respond that way since you don't have valid warranty. If you had warranty they would have had to either repair or RMA it. I guess it also depends on your luck too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Yeah I know what you mean. I'm by no means saying that Huawei is 100% at fault, I take partial responsibly for being cheap and buying from someone on eBay who wasn't an authorized reseller. My luck also isn't that great because this early battery shutdown issue literally started right after the warranty ended. Do I wish Huawei would have offered a warranty exception, sure, but I know they're not obligated to. Some companies are just better with customer service and loyalty and others just want to do the bare minimum. I can accept that, but I can also choose vote with my money, so to speak, and buy devices from other companies in the future, which is what I plan to do. On a related side note though, a company like Nvidia has excellent customer service, loyalty, and standards in my opinion judging by the way they handled the Shield Tablet battery issue. There were literally a very small number of complaints of batteries overheating and like two or three that caught fire, and even though most of the Shield Tablet owners at the time were already out of warranty period, Nvidia still did a voluntary recall and shipped brand new device to everyone that had the Y01 batteries, which was most of the tablets at that time, and they didn't even require the old tablets to be shipped back to them. That's an A+ company in my mind.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Avarell_Dalton:
Thanks for the recommendations! Since you recommend them I take it you have already made a battery change yourself. I was thinking about the camera and bottom cover and have a question. Do I need to buy some sort of double-sided tape for those if I change them (or reuse the old ones)?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Danilo Pantelić:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ulver:
Just an FYI, I purchased this rear housing,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/172144241461

It came with the NFC chip already attached! The seller says they come from previously used devices, so I was prepared to see some wear on the housing, but luckily mine seems to be perfect. The glass camera visor and bottom piece is also included.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Yesterday I've changed my 6P back case for a new one. Because when I installed the Cameron Sino battery my power button stopped clicking properly.

The replacement case came without NFC antenna...so what I did is: with a playing card and a heat gun I removed the antenna from the stock cover and pasted it in the new one. NFC is working fine

Quick question, my eBay battery just arrived. Is there any easy way to tell if it has the temperature sensor, and I saw some comments talking about thin vs thick battery ribbon cable, how can I tell if this one is thin or thick, are there some measurements I can check before opening the phone?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NBAPwns:
You can really tell by looking at the ribbon cable. The temp sensor is more thick. and the ones without it is slim throughout the whole cable. It's very easy to tell when u look at them side by side. The Stock battery has a thick ribbon cable, the OEM's have normal thin cables. If u install the battery with no temp censor the temp will always be a constant 25 degrees celcius
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
What if you are not buying a back cover and simply want to change the battery is there a need for a glue/tape to attach back the camera and bottom covers or will they stick back and hold.

Just curious to know?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
I'm as well though going thru comments ... I see that 90% of the time the back glass was shattered...

So at this point I am just waiting for August 31st for the v30... Or for the pixel... And will buy accordingly
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
Mine went back on and held without any additional glue or tape

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

I was able to remove the glass without shattering. Reinstalled it when I was done. I did buy a replacement glass just in case but didn't need it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Do I need to spend $13 at harbor freight to buy a heat gun, or can the battery swap be done with a hair dryer as the heat source? I don't really have any other use for a heat gun, but if it really make the job that much easier I'll buy one. The battery and camera glass I order both come with a set of cheap tools (tiny screw drivers, plastic triangles, suction cups, plastic pry tools) and I have a set of playing cards.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
I used a hair drier & cheap tools and broke nothing.

Patience is the key...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] luigidk:
Me too - I just replaced my battery today. It didn't take that long. Agree that patience is the key. I would also say that the 'dual suction cup' tool was very very helpful.

I also had a new camera glass as a spare - but didn't need it.

I purchased a set of guitar picks - and used all 10 of them at some point.

I would say that the toughest part was getting the battery unglued... that was just lots of guitar picks, - and going deeper a bit at a time.

The other challenge was getting the camera glass and other glued cover off - I'd recommend a very sharp straight edge - you only need to get under it a bit - then let the guitar picks do their thing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] live4vball:
Ditto to Luigi's comments. I did mine last night in about 90 minutes with interruptions. The playing cards didn't work at all for me so I abandoned them partway through. I used my wife's hairdryer to loosen the glue but not sure that it did too much. Definitely take your time getting things loosened before prying up the glass on the back. I used a slightly more brute force attack on the battery though; just got under it with my plastic triangle a bit, then pried it up with my fingers. Mine was taped in with two pieces of fancy electrical tape that stuck like epoxy. The battery packaging tore when I pulled it out and now it smells like solvent. Other than that it was a pretty simple process.

Once I get the battery in the mail (which I got on eBay, hasn't shipped yet, ugh) and the heat gun I got from Amazon, I"ll get this battery swap underway. :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
I replaced my Nexus 6p battery today! Getting the camera glass off (without breaking it) was the hardest part cause there was literally no gap anywhere around that glass to get a razor in and under it to get it started off. Ended up nicking the metal case around that glass a little bit but eventually got it off. Heat is your friend for sure lol. The only real issue I had was during reassembly that little plastic over on the back bottom of the phone, it was slightly bent and wouldn't stay glued back on (just heating and pressing it back on with factory adhesive that was there). I'm gonna order a new one on eBay later. I think the issue was I applied too much heat to that plastic bottom piece when I was taking it off and it warped and messed it up so it wouldn't go back on right.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Update to replacing my battery.

Ok so this cheap eBay battery doesn't have the temperature sensor, but that doesn't really seem to be causing any issues.

Very happy with the swap though! Before the swap, I was lucky to get 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time out of a charge, and it would ALWAYS shutdown early, usually with a battery level of about 60% to 40% remaining, so I rarely got more than a total of 12 hours off the charger.

Now with the exact same settings as before the swap (adaptive brightness on, brightness slider at 100%, wifi on, Bluetooth on, location on, 142 installed apps, and ElementalX high brightness mode widget on Auto for sunny outdoors), on the very first charge of this battery I've gotten 4 hours of screen on time and a total of 20 hours off the charger so far, and there is still 20% battery remaining so I'm sure I could squeeze another hour+ of SOT and/or several more total hours off the charger. And most importantly, NO EARLY SHUTDOWN!!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
And AccuBattery screenshots. Before the swap, AccuBattery also usually listed my Screen On drain per hour at 25%/hr to 30%/hr
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
One more, before the swap AccuBattery listed the battery health at about 2300mah, new battery says 3540mah!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swapavi:
Unrelated, but what is that mod on your statusbar for the current cpu temp and ram? Is that part of some rom?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
It's an app called Cool Tool.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Marced for Life:
Thought I would just chime in too. I was getting pretty unhappy with how much the battery had degraded, Accubattery was reading a battery health of 61% - 67%... along with getting early shutdowns. So after reading this thread, I ordered a Cameron Sino battery from a retailer in NZ for $35 NZD. Replaced the battery successfully with a hair dryer (pretty sketchy process) and voila, battery health up to 102%, no early shutdowns. The difference is night and day. I haven't checked temperatures or anything but I have been really putting the phone to the test and nothing blew up.

TLDR: Really worth replacing the battery imo. Good luck to anyone else that is gonna give it a go as it is a pain to do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
Nice work for those who have succeeded replacing the battery! Kudos
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Just an FYI, if your curious if your replacement has the temperature sensor (it doesn't really seem to negatively effect anything if it's missing though), just download/open any app that can read battery temperature (EX Kernel Manager, Cool Tool, just about every sensor monitor app, etc) and see what the battery temperature says. If your battery temperature says 30°c and does not change, then your replacement does not have the sensor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Marced for Life:
Out of interest, I got EX Kernel Manager (awesome tool indeed). Seeing battery temps in the range of 25°c ~ 35°c depending on what I'm doing. So that's pretty cool (pun, a little intended haha).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Lol yup that means you have the sensor.

This is the one I bought - it looks exactly the same as the one that came out of the phone.

Unfortunately, it's out of stock (and doesn't include tools).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
More that unfortunately I would say luckily....if you are going to open this phone to change the battery. You better don't end up installing any battery with Huawei logo.

If they are fake...they are fake cheap batteries with less capacity / size than the stock one..

Now If they are legit...maybe it's even worse than a cheap battery considering the whole existence of this thread where people with legit battery early shutdowns and bad battery life come for help.

Cameron Sino might be expensive compared to the other ones...but its a 10/10 battery. Real capacity. No early shutowns. Sensors works. It's the only option i would install on a 6P.
