I appears that statement is valid.

The battery I purchase from from eBay lasts a WHOLE damn day + more... The battery cost me

$13USD + $40USD for the professional install.

Before, the factory battery would had lasted for 3 - 6 hours with light usage, now with heavy usage

the battery lasts well PAST 12 HOURS ( rooted device ).

I have no android modding experience and am basically a noob so all info I have is from the stuff that I read. From what i have read, it is a hardware issue. They say one can access device temporarily by heating the device using a blow dryer/heat gun. So if a heat gun provides temp access, it probably is a hardware issue. A google employee is said to have confirmed it. (https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-nexus-6p-bootlooping/) I have no idea what triggers it. This issue is pretty common and I was fearing it for ages. Hope you don't get it. I did an Android update last night. Woke up this morning half an hour late than normal. I assumed I somehow missed an alarm. Checked my phone and saw it was on the bootloop! :crying:

There are solutions here in the forum and in other websites. (http://myhexaville.com/2017/09/25/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/). From what I have read, the fix shuts down number of working cores so basically you use half of your phone's processing power and your device will be as slow as a 2012/13 device. Another shameful thing is that this issue had been reported almost a year back. Both Google & Huawei are yet to work out a solution, and I don't expect them to do so. An XDA forum member was the one to come up with a fix, which has helped many 6P owners.

I have zero idea about rooting/kernel/flash etc. so will need number of hours to learn how to fix this. Don't have time for that right now so have reverted to an old Moto G2 (2014). These flagship androids are over my budget. Plus my first flagship android purchase (Nexus 6P) was disastrous. So will probably buy a budget android for $350 max. I am not into mods. I only need a phone that works 3 years or more without any issue. It is 2018, but have never purchased a single Apple product so far. Maybe $350 for a 32GB Iphone SE would not be bad deal. Started liking Nexus after purchasing Nexus 7 2013 tab which still runs well. Will not return for sometime now after this experience.

I like how they spell "batter" on the picture. The last guy that bought one weight it and it was filled with 45grams of batter. The ribbon was thin, no thermal breaker. Go back about 2months in this thread and look for the picture.

You got two choices, old stock OEM, or fraudulent 45gram batteries that shut down because of poor design and 3020mAh of batter inside
[Nexus 6P Accessories] quimbexa:
Thanks for the heads up. If I receive a similar **** I'll report it to AliExpress and ask for a refund as it doesn't correspond to what's advertised.

Which sucks because I really thought it would be 4000 mah. There are tons of videos on YouTube of guys you bought bigger batteries for their phones and it actually worked.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] afilopou:
How is the battery from DAP? Looks genuine or not? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
I haven't received it yet. Image looks like an original. I'll post back with an image once I have it. If it's not an original when it comes in the mail, I'll be raising a complaint with Ebay and PayPal ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] afilopou:
Sorry my bad.Thought you receive it. I am in the same boat,waiting from DAP.I already took some screenshots from the listing and i’ll Do the same (dispute) if I receive something different .
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Hah good idea! I'll do the same, just in case :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
I hope that you guys find a good +55 gram battery, a few months ago I was in the same boat. There is a picture of the Losercon battery post #572.

I pulled the CS 40gram 3020mAh battery out of my 6p, and put in an old stock 2015 new OEM from ebay. It still is reporting over 100%. No shut downs on high current draw.

I think that the repackaged 40gram batteries will keep showing up. Weigh them, peal the labels off, and report back to help others.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zswielder:
Thank you for taking your time to provide so much info. I'm sorry that this happened to you. Now I'm a little worried for my 6P. I bought it used, so I didn't pay that much money for it, but I'd want it to last long enough for sure. If you are looking for a phone with a limited budget, I recommend Moto G5 or G5S. They go on sale all the time. They come with pretty decent hardware for the price. I don't recommend iPhone. I used to be an iPhone user but switched to Android and never ever looked back.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] powerserge1:
Read much of this thread. Not sure which battery to get. Lots of members want the original yet it's the original battery that becomes defective over time.

Phone is 2 years old yet there is no clear cut winners. Want to buy one for preventative reasons. My phone is 11 months old, the clock may be ticking. Not sure if Google fixed the battery/cpu issues towards the end of when they were manufacturing them. Plan to get a battery just in case.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-3-...079027?hash=item3acfe649b3:g:KQwAAOSwA3dYCTpN

3000 sold, seems decent

Still mixed reviews. Take a pic, batteries in some cases not enough voltage so causes issues. Definitely want one where can take HDR pics without hassles. It's an expensive repair but cheaper than a new phone. Still want to get a good battery just in case. So many knock offs with less capacity! Originals seem to be old stock so may or may not last either. Some batteries use to be good now they changed them and they are not. What to do.

Thanks for the work put in here

Hi

I think i found a new listing by titan_here

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Or...d=302458413751&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850

What do you guys think? Seems legit? Is it still a valid replacement for the original battery?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Edgio60:
If you're ok with $33, go for it. Mine from Titan_here is 100% legit OEM, 100% battery health.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] resarfekim:
I ordered one from that seller, on the 1st. It arrived at the Los Angeles UPS station today, hoping to receive it within the next few days.

Will report back after installation.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
I shifted to Nexus 6P from Moto G2. My experience with that phone was: good in the first year and painfully slow in the 2nd year. Used it for 2.5 years. I am using it again for the time being after this Nexus 6P failure. So don't want to buy a G5. My friends are convincing me to get Galaxy S7 Edge for $500. I am also considering One Plus 5T which costs the same. I am extremely careful with my stuff and my previous phones used to last for 4 years on average. Back in the pre-smartphone era, all you needed to do was take good care of your phones and they would not sell you out. These smartphones for all their smartness, mid range tend to lag after a year or so and some flagships like the 6P are riddled with problems

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

The eBay link you shared has thin ribbon cable, so definitely not an OEM. One school of thought is that the OEMs are no good and don't last for more than a year. So better not to get an OEM. If you think so, maybe you can try this one as it is not an OEM. If you want an OEM, eBay seller Titanhere has provided OEMs in the past. Many xda forum users have vouched for him here in this thread. His old listing was for $29.99 which has ended. He has increased the price by few $s and has a new listing. His link is shared here a few posts back, you can try that. I have ordered from him too, yet to receive mine. Hope the new listing is for legit OEMs.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Arcide:
S7 edge would be a pretty stupid buy for $500, considering what other devices could be bought for that price or even lower.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Fvolfrine:
I contacted Huawei customer service this morning and hot the same quote that you did. My warranty expired two months ago, of course. That seems REALLY expensive to me. Especially considering that this is a known issue. In my feedback with customer service I said as much - given that this is a known issue, Huawei should either extend the battery warranty or reduce the cost of the repair, much like Apple is doing now with the iPhones. $163 for a new battery is just way too much.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eville89:
Got my phone in Sept 2016. It turns off randomly, even sometimes at 60-70% left. I would really like a legit battery replacement. Non-OEM is fine as long as its made well and has all the temperature sensors, etc like the original.

Seller 1 looks like the genuine battery there. I bought one from DAP Technology and just awaiting its arrival now :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tal100:
Hi,

usefull for my Israeli fellows here:

i decided to try and contact one of Huawei's certified cell phone labs (listed in their website).

Paid 180 NIS (50 USD) for a brand new (2017) original battery + labor, AB reporting 111% health.

For the meantime i'm really satisfied.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Can you please provide a link to how you got this done?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imrock0:
Received titan_here's battery a week ago. Installed it today and noticed some strange behaviour. The battery was at 47% when first powered on, went to 40% in a few minutes (nearly idle), and went to 57% after being plugged in for about 10 minutes through USB. The battery is indeed thick cable one, and was manufactured in October 2015. Can any fellow member who bought his/her battery from titan_here confirm if their battery gave similar behaviour in the beginning? I'm guessing this to be a calibration issue.

UPDATE: I think I've received a defective battery from titan_here. The phone powered off at 30%. Moreover, i was losing like 2% every 5 minutes or so just by streaming music. My older battery was much better than this. What a waste, it took me a while to get the phone apart because it was already in a mess. I think i'll give this battery 3-4 more complete cycles and see if it gets better.

Beware future buyers, titan_here's battery didn't work correctly.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Give it a full charge and then drain to around 5% and charge back up... See if things change? It should.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imrock0:
Installed it yesterday evening, charged it up to 100 and the phone powered off at 30%. Charged it to 100 again and lost 10% in 6 minutes. Lol, i got a defective battery, Accubattery reports 43% health.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Sounds definitely like a dodgy battery. I'd be getting in touch with the seller and raising it with them for a replacement or refund for sure.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hsypsufan:
Got the same battery and it appears to be legit. The battery weighs in at ~56 g. I'll report back after I install it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] hsypsufan:
Got this one. Granted it doesn't have the temp sensor, but the capacity seems to be right.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] resarfekim:
Finally got around to installing the battery this weekend. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Or...d=302458413751&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850)

First thing I noticed was the (fat, original looking) ribbon cable was slightly creased, like it had been bent at some point.

Installation went fine. Phone came up with 1% on the battery. Let it do a full charge.

So far, battery is a total disappointment. After a few hours of use yesterday and recharge last night, this morning it has went down 20% in a couple hours with minimal usage. Homie at work got a $20 battery from Amazon and reports it is working great.

I'm flashing a stock factory image and will give it another day. If it doesn't improve, I'll try to get a refund.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Doesn't sound good, sounds like a dud :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imrock0:
This is the same battery that i got. Same experience. My phone even powered off when taking photos with HDR on. Seems this seller is left with fake or damaged batteries now. He doesn't even seem to respond. Let's see if eBay service helps or we're screwed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] popojijo1:
Do not buy from "titan_here", it is a waste of time and money.

I can also confirm that the seller "titan_here" no longer has viable batteries. My ribbon was noticeably creased and the battery was sitting at 12% when I installed it. After a full charging the phone struggled to make it through the installation of all of my apps following a factory reset. After a few charges accubattery was estimating 79% health, exactly what it estimated my factory battery that had two years of use on it as. I did the Android battery re-calibration routine and the phone still shuts down if I try to open the camera with 26% or less charge. I suspect that these batteries have sat for too long with too shallow of a charge and are now wounded.

I have had a series of slow going emails in which they went from wanting another $7 to ship me another battery to now telling me that I need to send the battery back via airmail in order to receive a refund. I just agreed to send it back as long as he provides the shipping label and time for me to source another battery to swap in at the same time. I fully anticipate to file a claim which I am sure that I will just have eBay jump in at the end to arbitrate the case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] afilopou:
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

For your info after the negative feedback, he gave me full refund and he told me to keep the battery.

With Accubattery 95% health.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tietherope:
It's too bad to hear that. I installed an OEM battery from them about 3 weeks ago now and it has been fantastic. Still at 100% health and holds a charge like the phone is brand new.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] popojijo1:
Naturally, I had to be one of the unlucky ones. I've noticed a few people have still been reporting good luck with titan_here but recently there have been quite a few more people receiving junk batteries from them chiming in on this thread.

Do you happen to recall what percent your phone reported your battery as right when you installed it? I'm just wondering if there is a correlation between the charge level upon receipt and the viability of the battery; I could be way off here, just a guess.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Thanks for the information, mate. I'll raise the complaint with him first before leaving negative feedback and hope he offers me the same. I didn't pay double the price and wait for up to 4 weeks for a battery I could have bought for literally half the price and free shipping for the next day!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] afilopou:
Before giving negative feedback I sent him 2 messages and never replied.After the negative feedback he replied immediately ;)

Unknown if I'm paying shipping or not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Very interesting. He sent me a msg, but seeing that English isn't his first language, it's hard to understand.

The battery is dented on the corner as well and would need to be flattened out to fit in the phone I would imagine. I've asked him to arrange pick up at his own cost or he can provide a full refund and I'll most likely turf it.

Will see how it goes.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] 996gt2:
I bought a battery from titan_here on Jan 4th and installed it earlier this week. Definitely a dud and certainly does not match the item description of "new genuine battery". The battery had scratches on it and the silver covering on the back did not look original. The original battery I pulled out of the 6P had Sony markings on the back, whereas the titan_here battery simply had a blank silver covering.

After install, I did a clean install of 8.1.0 and then monitored for several days using Accubattery. The titan_here battery got an abysmal 58% battery health...almost as bad as the battery I originally removed from the 6P.

I've initiated a return through eBay, will see how he responds.

Top is the original 6p battery I removed, bottom is the titan_here battery.
