Got Glass today....battery is poor

Not sure what I expected I guess. I found these glasses much more fascinating before I got them. People stare at you when you show up with them. Some are intrigued, some want you to remove them with dealing with you. What I have found is they are a better attachment to my S5 than my Gear 2 watch. Love the heads up text display, etc.

Does it have a recording feature why persons want u to remove it before dealing with them?
Does it really cost $1500 us?
Apart from what u stated, do u love the device?

Yes, you can take pictures and video with it. It is $1500. Aside from all of that, I do like it so far.

Great to hear, been watching a lot of video reviews on it n I must say it is a good device am jus t not into wearable tech just yet. I think we are getting there but not in the sense that Google is trying... And for 1500 bucks I think we should get at least a spare

Drain the battery completely and then charge it completely a few times. Mine lasts all day.

I thought this was a bad idea to do with newer batteries? Notably, either keeping the battery charged at 100% for extended periods (some devices charge to 100% and then let the battery drop down to like 97% then re-charge), or draining it all the way down to/near 0%.

I have heard that as well. In the case of Glass, I got decent battery life the first day or two, but on the third day I took it off of the charger and it reported <10% a few minutes later. Half an hour later it shut itself off and I plugged it in and left it plugged in for the day. I haven't had an issue since; it now lasts me from 5am to 10pm every day.
Others in the Explorers forum report the same "fix" and swear by it.

Be careful to leave it on when charging
Glass, like other devices that use the same technology, need a few full charge-discharge cycles to reach full battery lifetime.
Glass also has the crazy property that they will not charge if they are completely turned off and shut down. Make sure the LED is flashing when you expect them to be charging!

actually, how long you can use that google glass? it suposed to be a day without charging?

I got 4 pairs of glass for $50 because of the home try out program lol. The battery life isn't good however at the same time it's mainly because you can't shut off wifi or Bluetooth without installing glass control

My battery seemed to last all day. I would go get that checked.

Firware updates
When I was on version 13.x I could go all day no problem. Ever since then I can go about half day. Its software so I'm now worried.

Same here.

I know that Google initially estimated a battery life of 1 day for 'typical' use, but I suppose that can vary considering not everyone’s "day" is typically the same As we all know, many hi-tech devices, can have a touchy battery life, some which seem surprisingly low for this day and age and some that hold up rather well, regardless of how often we use them. So perhaps it could possibly depend upon the initial charge and/or overall treatment of the device and battery? Also, I believe they did an upgrade to the operating system earlier this year that included improving the battery life, and from what I’ve heard, it’s a bit better than it was before!

how long does the battery last?

HELP - Battery replacement

Hi
My 5X died (LG Spain told me that they don't want to repair it using the warranty, because they found this inside, I've never wet the phone..also started bull****ing about the screen, screen was perfectly fine, and recovery, i was able to enter recovery, just wasn't able to boot the phone or use it without a reboot after a few minutes...)
Anyway,
Now I'm getting a used 6P at a good price today.
The issue is the battery, apparently is in bad shape......like 74% left with 30 SoT (mainly Whatsapp), 4 hours standby, and some Spotify..(I'm not the user, but I got this info today).
So I'm planning to change the battery next week if I get this 6P.
I've already saw this video, and it's difficult mainly because of the glue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEQbQPAU9Ss
Do you have any good link to buy the battery in Europe? Some good eBay vendor..or something like that? I'd like to have good unused battery!
Thanks

Hello... Check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/oem-battery-t3534410
People discuss about OEM battery replacement and where they bought it.
For a guide to change it, there's also discussions either on XDA or the interweb...
Good luck... :good:

@5.1
thanks man! it's good to see people replacing this phone battery. There are so many posts everywhere with negative comments about it. "It's impossible, you better buy a new one" and things like that.

Yeah... You just need the proper how-to, the proper tools, patience.
Take your time and be gentle with the thin parts. You may buy a new back cover and lens protector (not sure).
Anyway, those who did it certainly know better than i on this matter...

The good part is that, you don't have to deal with "side locks" (I think) and the side buttons seem to not be affected by the process. (I've replaced a Galaxy Nexus display in the past, and the volume buttons never were the same. Also opened a Nexus 5 to change battery; and the low part of the back ended up a bit loose, probably because of the side locks. Here, at least, we have screws in the cover...the most difficult part is the removal of the glass and the bottom aluminium, but at least there are no side locks, just glue....
(I'm planning to use a hair dryers, and then just get the other tools).
Anyway...first I'm gonna try it with the current battery for a week. but seems to have a bad battery (maybe 20% worse than a regular 5X). I understand that a 6P has more life than the 5X, so that's what I'm aiming after a replacement...
I've been using an iPhone 5S for a week....amazing compass (compared to all the nexus I had), but the rest..... I don't like it (specially the screen size). If I have to open a LINK in Chrome, login into airport wifi, multitask or basically write a big paragraph....i want to kill myself.
So I'm in a hurry right now...

@5.1
At the end I've replaced my battery (used a "Cameron Sino X-Longer" one as replacement, it's more expensive than the others, but seems to worth the price).
- No more shutdowns before reaching 1% battery left.
- More than 100% increase in battery life. Now I'm having 4-4:30 hours+ SoT and all day standby. With everything enabled, trusted voice, trusted places, etc. (except NFC and bluetooth).

Nice... This is the average SOT you get when the phone is brand new. I use my devices mostly on WiFi without GPS. Also trusted voice/places disabled. So I usually got between 5h30 and 6h30 with average usage (web, YouTube, SMS/MMS, XDA Labs)
I've switched to another model now. But the N6P is a great device nonetheless. Enjoy your new phone..! :good:
Cheers...

Got one the Cameron sino for the Huawei 6p on eBay for 25.00. working like a champ.

battery.

it has been months now having to deal with this issue.
i really love my 6p but I've got tired of having to charge my phone every three hours. it shuts down when recording video when the battery below 50% or giving the CPU a hard task like searching a long excel sheet. i cant open Snapchat when below 50% fearing that it will shutdown and its not may or may not it will shutdown .
i don't think its a hardware failure because when it happens twrp boots up just fine but cant mount data and it shows the real percentage. while ROM shows 1% and shutdown. it happens with all ROMs even the stock ones.
I live in a country where there is no support from google or any hardware store ( they don't even know the name of the phone ).
this issue have put me in many awkward moments I've waited for a long time towards a solution maybe that's it. and it is time to move on ??.

Its a hardware fault, as in as much as your battery needs replacing. Well known issue where the battery degrades causing this issue.
You could install Accubattery and do a health check to conform this.

I installed a new battery and used battery calibration from the play store. It's working like new again.

I just got my new 6p battery. I can confirm that I just get 1hr of screen on time and it will shutdown. I live in asia and There is no stock of the 6p's battery everywhere here even in Huawei stores and service centers. I got mine from an online site and have it shipped to me. It took a while but it was worth it. Its like new again (bought this device 2nd hand and already have the degraded battery).

There is no more original battery for our 6p almost everything that is being sold is a chinese knockoffs. But I got a Beltron Battery. I also like the cameron sino (good reviews) but the price is 2x the price of beltron if when i ship it to my country. But, So far no issues. 1hr 45mins SOT and i still have 70% (Fb, YT, Web browsing, instagram and etc). Today is my first day of using this battery. Fingers crossed.

I've never heard that one. But I've heard I've had to be careful with sino as most are fakes now. But I've also heard good ones about Cameron sino x longer? Or something.
Very much would appreciate your advice on this as I don't want to pay for a fake. As I plan to get a new charger, battery, screen protector and case for it. But with the battery as it is now. Wouldn't be worth it

I suggest Beltron like mine, most of the batteries doesnt have any temp sensor. It doesnt bother me that much. I suggest using a 1A charger. Slow charging but it doesnt stress the battery so much like the OEM charger. My wild guess is that the charger is the reason why the battery degrades so fast. Good luck with your 6p!

Agree... but what does Accubattery say your battery capacity is? 1st day feel of the pants is feedback, but having data would be better. Run the app, and after a few full charges let us know how this battery compares to the one it replaced. You *may* have found a great replacement. Thanks.

Ill download the app again. I always forget using that app. Last night i charged it 30%-100% in just more or less 3hrs using 1A charger. i was asleep that time. Today I'm using the phone non stop. Off wifi and off cellular since i have a dedicated daily driver for my social life using this device just for entertainment. Today I've been reading manga using an app non stop @ 50% brightness. Here are the screen shots of my battery in settings. I think its good. Ill return with accubattery data later

Any links for recommended battery instructions?

My wife had the same problems and got a Pixel.
I ordered a new battery for around $20, put it in and now it's like a new phone. I swapped out the Sim card from my Moto z and now it's my daily driver. By the end of my shift it's still at 80%

I bought a brand new Nexus 6P and have had it for a month now and I must say, coming from the LG G5, its a damn shame the 6P's battery doesn't live up to the potential some phone batteries do. I would recommend doing a health check for your battery once a month at least, it's what I do to keep an eye on things. There are some good apps for monitoring your usage and longevity quite accurately.
Nevertheless I still prefer my 6P to the G5 :silly:

If your want an OEM battery here is one https://goo.gl/jmYfn9 the seller runs out but seems to get more in. I bought this one and had five and a half hours screen on time when I plugged in at 8% battery left. Mine was shutting down as soon as it hit 20%

I have to object to the that factor that the battery on the 6p doesn't live up to its potential, well I'm making a statement out out of that comment, I bought an replaced my own battery, even went as far as adding new thermal paste in the places required, I also have my device rooted an pretty much battery mod central on my device, I have had it for 5 days on deep doze settings an it's at 68%. I had insured my journey with complete overall satisfaction, I have added a 3600 an it came 2 days after I Ordered off Amazon, for 15$ free shipping, can't beat the fact is the way a device should run, no just a nexus 6p, I mean ll devices, if you can oot it when your phone is new, you can max your battery potential to the extreme, if you've had the device like me for 3+ years, every battery saving option I went through trial and error Makin that thing last for 3 hours if it was rooted with doze settings and lasted an hour max if not rooted. So I went the do it youself an learn something an it wasn't hard one bit. Charged It till full an turned it on an let it do its thing, I can't tell you how many of you need to change your battery out an buy a new phone. let's be clear an unrooted phone will never exceed battery life for the reasons of the hogwash they add o it an cause it to drain, if you eliminate the drag you'll get your full potential on battery life and only 15$ than forking out 500$ on a new device, work smarter not harder. Seeder, amplify, greenify, power nap, servicely, naptime, xposed, better battery stats, tasker, appcontext, powersving.apk,magisk doze mods, I recommend them all on magisk even if they are repoed, fix the prop for the present time if you know what your doing, Lspeed Is a great tool to have, I use elementalx an tweaked my settings for battery another great tool for battery conserving is [All+ROMs]+Galacticâ„¢+DeepSleep+MOD+[Super+Battery+Saver], find an flash it in recovery. For all devices.
If there are any questions on those apps or have any fed back let me know. Good luck.

What is my real battery capacity? Acubattery varies wildly

So quick question:
If I charge my phone slowly, accubattery reports my battery as being ~2700mAh whereas if I do quickcharge, I get an abysmal ~2000mAh. I mean I already bought a new battery, but how much of my original is left?
Any good way to tell exactly how much my phone will hold?

On my case, I installed a new battery then I did a test myself.
By using USB battery capacity test tool, the result is near 3100 mah.
By accuracy battery, the result is 3400 mah.
The result on accuracy battery not change for a month whatever on normal charge or quick charge. So I think the app is pretty accurate minus 300 mah.
So you may keep charging on both methods. Then use the average number to minus 300mah.
(I guess you have 4 hours SOT, right?)

I believe he's referring to actual, physical battery life. How long will it last before it starts to fail and needs replacing.
Maybe.

I bought it from taobao (china online market), I dont think it support other country but china.
The seller said the battery will label random from 3100 to 4000 mah.
But I think it is fake, by using usb tester, the capacity is still about 3150 though, I dont know how the battery can fool the accubattery app.
So any battery will work just the same.

Well, I also had about 2300 mAh three or four months ago. Now I found out that snapping an HDR+ pic with less than 40% battery will shut off my device (voltage goes below the shutdown threshold from abt. 3.7V) since all cores go at full tilt when processing...
I think Accubattery's reading is good mainly for knowing when to change the battery, i.e. if it says less than 2700 it's time to get a new one. Sadly I can't find one, so I'll have to put up with this until I find someone that sends stuff to my country

I bought it from taobao (china online market), I dont think it support other country but china.
The seller said the battery will label random from 3100 to 4000 mah.
But I think it is fake, by using usb tester, the capacity is still about 3150 though, I dont know how the battery can fool the accubattery app.
So any battery will work just the same.

What battery did you buy? I'm looking in Aliexpress (Stuff gets to my country from there albeit after a month or two) and there are original batteries, and Losoncoer and HSABAT 3650 mAh batteries

I finally bit the bullet and bought an original one via Aliexpress. It cost $6 plus about $5 in shipping. Now to wait a month or more, as usual with aliexpress

My battery is one year 8 months old. Whenever it got down to 30-37% it would automatically shut off, no warning or anything. When I plugged it in it read 30-37% and would start right up. The battery life in general was terrible.
So I would say if your battery is over a year and a half old and your having problems with it you should think about replacing it. No software will overcome a worn out battery.
I bought my battery from ebay and put it in myself. Not as easy as some would make it look but it's doable. What helps get the back of the phone off is a small flathead screwdriver with a very thin tip to get inbetween halves and then twist to seperate.

Hi, sorry about reopening the old post, but did you bought the Habasat battery?
I need to replace mine and I want to know if it works ok, haven't found any reviews anywhere

Yet another battery drain victim - Problems with new battery too

Hi everybody,
I've been following this great site for a long time, but this is my first post.
I'm one of the unhappy owner of a Nexus 6P with severe battery drainage. I've read plenty of threads on this topic both on this site and others, but some issues are still unclear to me.
The battery performance had been worsening since last September, with an increasing pace up to the point that last month the phone would turn off between 76% and 45%. The drainage was also extremely fast, going from full charge to 70% in half an hour of medium usage.
So I finally made up my mind and decided to change the battery. Last week I brought it to an electronic shop that I trust and they replaced the battery. I hadn't read about the fake batteries yet, and I didn't warn nor asked the guy at the shop about them - but as I said I think he's reliable.
Up to this point, nothing new.
I've had the new battery for three days, but the problems remain, same as before. I am quite puzzled, as I think that even with a fake battery there's no way to get same performance as before. The drainage is as bad as before and so the early shutdown (I reached once the 33%, but still not good and may have happened also with the old battery). AccuBattery says the battery health is 26%, but it is still a rough estimate as it had only 4 cycles.
So my questions are:
1. Do I need to wait some more days for the new battery to adjust before losing every hope?
2. As I was travelling, I could only wipe the cache. I'm gonna try a factory reset, could it help?
3. Do I need to take some extra precautions in order not to "burn" the new battery? As it is lasting as long as the old one, I need to recharge it every 3h more or less or use a battery pack (that I hate) and I think it is not good.
I cannot ask a replacement from Google as I live outside the US.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

@Paul_test even the new batteries can have issues with the 6p. I went through a couple from eBay before I got one that was solid. The shops needs to test the phone with some battery drain apps first to make sure before they put it back together.

Thanks Exodusche. Unfortunately, I was in Spain at the time and they returned it to me the day I was leaving, so I hadn't the time to test.
So the "fake" batteries are complete crap? not just lower capacity I guess.
Did anyone come up with an explanation for this drainage problem? I mean, is it an hardware issue?

If your on Oreo shouldn't have any drain unless your using apps like Facebook. I ordered so far 4 batteries from eBay and only the first one had issues. The rest preforming close to stock. If your unlocked an rooted can get app like wakelock and check if have any rogue apps. But if your having early shutdowns no brainer that it's the battery.

About 2 weeks ago I order a battery from Aliexpress (it was about $13) and did the replacement myself yesterday. It took about 3 hours of sweating and swearing - the videos on Youtube make it look SO easy. Part of the problem was that I didn't have the right tools but I improvised and managed to open the phone with very minor marks.
Regarding the battery, I bought the one that seemed the most popular (with 350+ 5 star reviews) but it is definitely not "legit" as the KC Certification number was "XX-XXXX-XXXX" and it is ever so slightly smaller than the original one, but there is a fabrication date on it and it indicates it was manufactured a few months ago, so that's a good thing I guess. The capacity is estimated at ~90% (of the advertised 3.450mAh) and the Screen On time varies from 4.5-5 hours, so I'm pretty happy with that, considering that I would get 2-2.5 hours with the same kind of usage on the old one. A minor inconvenience would be that the % indicator is not as accurate as before, for example jumping from 80 to 76% after I pick up the phone and use it for a while, but this might get better after the initial charge cycles, as well as the "health". Also, the phone is usable to the last 1%, no more sudden death.
So if you're not satisfied with the one you have now, I definitely recommend you get one from Aliexpress, as it comes (almost) directly from the manufacturer, unlike eBay or Amazon where you could pay double.
And maybe try to install it yourself?

Hi all. I admin a group of Nexus 6p Italian users. I quote all replies to the OP questions.
I just would like to add an information. I know some 6p owners that changed their barretu with this one:
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01BHYLUUQ/ref=pe_3310731_185740161_TE_item
So far, they are happy. Of course you have to consider to change the battery by yourself.
The nexus 6p is still a solid device if you find a good battery. Good luck.

Just google "vhbw battery nexus 6p" if you are interested.

I was having some doubts about installing it as I don't have the right tools, but if you say you did even without them I can try as well. Also, my phone has already been opened so it may be easier now. I had a bad experience with a laptop display using Aliexpress, so I'd rather try first with the one suggested by luck.giak that is also cheap. Thanks!

I'll definitely consider it, as it is also quite cheap. I totally agree that it would still be a very nice phone, but these battery problems make it unusable. I'll give it one last try. Thanks!

Your welcome, be careful to open you device. You need time and patience.
To be completely honest, I'm reporting to you experiences of other users. When I had the same issue three moths ago I contacted Amazon that refunded me completely. My 6p was 1.5 years old and I was upset to change that phone so quickly (according to my standard). I considered the barety replacement by myself but finally I have to say that the refund was the right option --> Now I'm more than happy with my new BQ Aquarius X2 pro.
