Fake battery? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The right is the original. Is the one to the left fake? Speaking of the original, is it still safe to use?

Nothing on the left battery leads me to think it is fake, it just looks like a later production run than the one on the right.
I would think it's safe to use... I would put it in mine without hesitation.

I think it depends on the price you paid.. The original battery still seems to cost more than 20 euros... So everything above 30 I would consider a real one.
The fake batteries match the original one closely these days... Still their capacity is less. You might find out by using some battery tools that deteine the capacity or measure yourself if you can.

How to build an emergency charger with two AA batteries

If you are tired of your battery draining off too rapidly ( Especially when using over clocking software like Pocket hack master and XCpuScalar) then you might consider building your own emergency charge device, like described in the fallowing link:

Enjoy!
Let's remember how odd this will look if you're trying to go on an airplane with a small Altoids tin with batteries in it!
This is really cool. Thanks!
It´s really nice, but for this price for one pice (20$) and the time to build it, it´s cheaper and easier to buy it ready made.
I get it for 10€ incl. shipping and then with four batteries.

battery extender

If u google htc battery extender it has a bigger longer lasting battery but it has differnt back cover was wondering if it. Looks silly since i cant find no photos so if anyone has any it wud help. Also what u guys think about it
Cheers
Anyone recomend the battery/ wish i new how much bigger and diffferent it wud look
I'm also interested in a bigger battery myself and I found one on ebay at a good price, 13 pounds.
I don't think there will be much difference in thickness. From what I see in the picture it will add around 4 mm.
My main problem with it is my phone is blue and the new cover is only grey.
cant you link the page?

Broken touch panel, help?

So some things happened and my Nexus 7's touch screen got junked.
I've sent the device to ASUS support hoping they would fix it at reasonable price...
I was wrong. They want to charge me almost 75% of the damn price for an LCD change.

This is 210 USD. Any leads on cheaper ways to fix the damn display?
Get a faulty unit from somewhere like Ebay/Craiglist, but make sure the fault aint the screen.
Then take the screen off the faulty one, and replace it onto yours?

[Hardware] JXD S18 Mini Pad + Battery mod HTC One X [Modification]

I was so tired of this **** battery, i took the time meanwhile to do my modification that i had in my mind for so long..
Original battery was about the same in size and capacity as a BL-C4(nokia 6310 battery).
Now it has a HTC One X (3.7VDC 1800mAh 6.66Whr) battery in it.
Here is it:

}
Lets dent it a bit so it fits (carefully of course)
Works perfectly fits like if its the oem battery
Nice :good:
HOWEVER, i do not recommend you to do the same. As its not so good for a lipo battery to be dent as much as i did, and im not sure if this will be safe. So keep in mind if you do the same, its your own responsibility.

Advice on what's hogging my battery and zapping it at 50ish %

Hi. I'm on the B03 build of Oreo non rooted. Had to manually find the download as bought phone from Italy and imported to UK.
Really like Oreo but since getting it, my battery has been cutting out at around 50% sometimes lower. There is something in the battery life that is hogging it but it doesn't say what, just the android symbol at 86%.
Would a new battery fix this or is it time for a new phone? I've only had this 2 years and most phones I've got 4 years out of. Love the hardware but it's been a bugger for lack of support and no OTA updates.
