Does anybody know if the battery designed for the G7 power can fit in the G7?
Probably not since there would be a size difference, probably the same connector but likely not fit physically in the phone.

I replaced battery and USB Port on two Nexus 4 phones. Now the battery temperature perpetually reads 28.1C (give or take 0.1).
Battery and USB Port were ordered from FixEZ.com
USB Port replacement fixed original charging issues on both phones, but now have new issues. The new issue is that the phone struggles to top off the battery and make turn off unexpectedly at low battery with red LED.
My best guess is that if the battery perpetually reports 28.1C, then the phone can't compensate for battery temperature during charge/discharge.
I can feel the battery warm up during a charge from low battery (yes the battery, not the CPU) , but the highest I have ever seen the phone report the battery temp is 28.3C.
Assuming that the batteries were counterfeit/defective, I ordered 2 more replacements from FixEZ and started RMA for the first two. The two new batteries were marked differently (different source). I replaced the battery on one of the phones and get the same battery temp value issue.
So now, I'm at a loss what to check/do next. Is the battery temp sensor part of the battery? Or is it somewhere inside the phone and it's supposed to touch the battery?
Searching on battery temp issue tends to yield people with broken temp sensors (too cold). I do wonder if my issue is more common than people realize since I see a lot of nightmare stories about poor performance after changing the battery.
Also wanted to add, that my phones are running stock Android 5.1.1, never been rooted, and I did a factory reset on them to see if that would help.
Hmm, instead of a factory reset, can you try flashing the latest stock image through fastboot?

Try pushing the battery connector really hard with the phone running and a battery monitor like Ampere running. Obviously you run the risk of cracking the screen, so you need to be very firm, and gradual with pressure. If Ampere suddenly changes from cold to charging, it's a sensor issue on the motherboard.
The constant temperature could be an indication that the batteries are not oem batteries even though the labels make them look like real original oem batteries.
I had this problem, and I swapped 3 batteries or various conditions and years of manufacture (one obviously non OEM). All 3 wouldn't charge unless I put an extremely high amount of localised pressure on the charge connector, thereby making a circuit with the sensor on the motherboard. Why they didn't put the thermal sensor on the battery is beyond me. Basically I've got a knackered motherboard, at least as far as the thermal sensor is concerned.
I have this problem with the last two replacement I bought, but if I put the original that came with the phone (already damage but works if I plug the charger), the battery report an accurate temperature.. my guess is that the sensor uses a component in the battery, but because the new ones are possible fake the didn't add to the battery due cost saving... Also read that the fakes one used to have a resistor to simulate the sensor.. I will try to open the batteries to compare..

I was looking at QI stuff online and discovered a couple things to share.
1) All S5 have the same size battery and QI connect. From looking at the products on Amazon, I thought there might be different ones (i9600), but they are all the same.
The old style QI had a 2 pin connector, the newer is 3. Both work with any S5. I found no indication there is a difference in operation, but I did not research in great detail.
2) Extended battery and QI together...
Option A:
There is one product that has it all, the Mugen 5900
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-5900mah-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-s5/
Cons:
Not water tight.
90 bucks
Option B:
Hack the QI to fit over a more reasonably priced extended battery.
The Anker 7500 http://www.anker.com/product/79ANS5-B75A
The ZeroLemon http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon®-7500mAh-Extended-Battery-Samsung/dp/B00KKRUG34
The Hyperion 5600 http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-Capability-Compatible-Warranty/dp/B00RLRAJCE
At this time Anker and ZeroLemon do not have a 5600 range (2x).
Cons:
There are few cases to choose from.
No water tight cases (?)
Option C:
Use an extended battery that is the same size as a normal battery.
(My first choice, which I mentioned in another thread)
When it arrives and fails its advertised greatness of more battery power in less space, I'll go back to option B, unless I win the lotto, and go with option A, with gold plating, or whatever the 1% geeks do for phone fun, maybe something that levitates, or an implant with a neuro-optical display.

I wanna know if the high capacity claimed batteries like 5400mah battery (for 10 dollars)on aliexpress do really work or its just false marketing??
anyone having experience with these kinda batteries??
If they are the same physical size as the standard battery, then they are fake (and especially if they are $10). My advice: if at all possible stick to genuine Samsung battery purchased from Samsung or a carrier, or buy an Anker or PowerBear. An extended battery will always be physically bigger than the standard battery, which means your phone will need a custom sized back cover and will not fit in standard cases/covers. Any cheap battery will also likely perform very poorly.
I found a dropped galaxy S4 i9500 in the woods. Now I'd like to know how could I connect a battery to see if it works, is the glass only broken or is it the digitizer and the screen as well, and possibly something else.
Since I don't know anyone that has an S4 to lend me the battery could I try booting it with another phone's battery? I got some 3.7V ~860mAh batteries from old Nokia/Huawei phones, do they have enough power? I read the original one from the S4 has 2600mAh and under battery it says "rated 3.8V; 1300mA". That means I can't go over or under this rated voltage/current?
Thanks for any help.
I guess you might be able to power it if you manage to fit the battery or connect wires to the connectors.
Those specifications are more like guide lines. You should be able to run at a slightly higher/lower voltage, but it may not be stable.

I planned to connect them using wires but the problem is that these old batteries have only three connectors while S4 has four connectors. I'm guessing those are for balancing and temperature control? Should I go around those and just connect the plus and minus?
Is it possible to use the V20 (H990DS) without a battery? I got the circuit board of my old bloated battery because I already purchased a new one.
I've seen some guides here and there but they were with older phones, would there be anything that would cause me to not be able to use the phone this way?
For info the V20 is just my backup phone now, I just usually use it at home so I would like to know if this is possible and if there are any precautions I should take. For those who haven't seen it, it's just a power cable soldered onto the positive and negative pins on the battery's circuit board.
