FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.
Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.
I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?
I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..
The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.
I would advise not to buy yet.
i too have the "?" on grey market batteries
i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%

What's for dinner?
Seriously; I have 2 "High-Capacity Gold Batteries", 1930 mAh, for my Titan.
When plugged in they show either 255% or -1% charge, never go back to normal.
When unplugged, they never show 100% charge, maximum of about 94%.
They seem to last about the same as the stock battery...
Hi, you have to full restore your HTC Titan (Backup recommended) if you get a new battery pack! I guess it indicates what the specs are in the battery. I know this because I bought a new battery pack and I had this problem! So I full restored my phone and now it's fine!
Well I had hoped that this day wouldn't come,
But.... My TrueSmart has stopped working.
Not sure what the issue is..... I went to turn it on this morning like I always do... (I turn it off at night).
Pushed the "on" button and got no response from the watch. So I pulled the battery, put it back in, watch will flash white for a few sec and then be dead.
I swapped in the other battery I have... same thing.... So I thought that somehow the batteries drained themselves... so I connect it to charge and there is NO indication that it is charging... Left it for a while to see if it would come alive...
Nothing.
Very disappointing.
I was actually enjoying the watch very much looking forward to what the Devs were coming up with next. Pretty bummed out.
I guess I will put it in a drawer and one day when Laurent Le Pen opens a repair center I might be able to get it fixed.
Back to wearing my Pebble I guess.
Such a shame.... it was a nice piece of tech that started many conversations when people saw it.
D.
I would not give up and still try to revive it. If the battery it's very low it will take some time and several tries before the watch will show signs of life. And the connectors of the dock may not be perfectly working, or even the cable may be faulty. I find it hard to think that the watch just stopped working out of nowhere.
If the battery drops below a certain level the watch will never charge it. The part of the firmware that is supposed to prevent this........doesn't work. The only option is to use an external charger but there may be a fire risk.
The battery situation sounds like it may be accurate as I did drain the battery the other day.
So if my only way to try and get a charge into the battery is to remove it and put it in a stand alone charger, what charger should I use?
D.
That's the problem most likely.
What Loki said is true, many users reported that and even XDA review said same.
It would be great if someone knows for a external charger on ebay we buy and use if that happens.
Even there's a way to charge battery with a stripped wires on usb charger - that's something you shouldn't do if you don't know what are you doing...

What battery level percentage is this? I've used mine down to about 10% and it's recharged fine before.
I think you have to let it run right out.

I have let my TS run out by itself several times already, and it charges fine even after that. But it's noted that this is a bad idea..
Anyway, the batteries that came with my watch was about 70% charged from the box, so it sounds unlikely that the other battery that OP tried is completely drained as well. My guess is that there is something else wrong with the watch.

I use my TS without cell signal and I've found if I turn off the device and don't use it for a while then power it back on the clock and date will be out of sync until you turn on a data connection. This leads me to suspect it draws no power from the battery to retain these settings when the device is off, which would make sense about why it has this issue? I know for sure Samsung phones etc they display the battery percentage without the reserve to prevent such an issue happening on their devices. As Loki mentioned broken firmware maybe something could be written to prevent this or even to just show the percentage differently.
The time/date issue is because they removed the back up battery (to save space) that keeps the time on all normal sized phones.

My galaxy note tablet has this problem.... it runs down fast and then just looses all date and time lol...
I think the issue is my batteries....
I was doing some experimenting today and with some fiddling around I got the watch to respond....
Battery #1 was 8% and then in about 2 min of being connected to the charger was reporting 55%
Battery #2 won't even do anything....
So, I am convinced that the issue is the batteries and not the watch.
Laurent has contacted me and provided a way to get my watch replaced, but it will require me to send it back and then wait for a replacement to be sent
Rather than going through all of this just yet, I wanted to see if I could solve it first.
So, if I wanted to get a replacement battery on my own, any ideas where I could get one from?
D.
no idea. maybe see if anyone near your area also had a TS and is willing to loan you a spare battery for a beer? haha

watchdog service that prevents the battery from draining completely does not work on any of the firmware that Dees, Adam myself and other tested. So even if the battery is the best battery in the universe, an Omate can kill it. I even went so far as to test it with a Motorola battery and it killed that too.
Yeah. It looks like the batteries are toast.
I managed to get one to charge to 100% and was able to use the watch for about 30 min then it died. No signs of life and can't get it to charge again.
I really wish I could source a replacement battery to make sure it is the battery and not the watch so I don't waste the time and money sending it back.
The shipping cost to mail it back is crazy from Canada.

Has anyone seen an extended battery for our G3? I had a zerolemon battery on my s3 before I upgraded and I really miss being able to go a whole day without worrying about my battery dying. It would be really cool if someone made one for the g3 that supports NFC and Qi charging.
My g3 lasts me through the whole day with medium to heavy usage without charging but it would be cool to have an extended battery case that has a slim profile
No need to buy extended battery because standard battery is the best. The weight of mobile increases if you use extended battery. Perfect standard battery can give you a whole day even on hard use. But it needs proper charging, sometimes people forget to charge their phone and in their way to office they come to know they did not charged the phone in this scenario travel charger will help. Just like I am using this. You can also buy from the dealer named Avantek. See this item
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L34ARD2
I don't know what everyone else considers hard use but how I use my phone I burn through about 10% every hour. On a full charge the battery lasts about 10 hours which is 4 hours short of the 14 hours that I'm awake. That's not including using the camera or running any resource intensive apps. I could probably kill the battery in under 3 hours playing a 3d game. As for weight and thickness, I would not have gotten a g3 if I wanted my phone to be super light and super thin. The g3 is thicker than my two and a half year old gs3. I know its not for everyone but some of us really appreciate having an extended battery.

I would just get another OEM battery. Keep the phone profile low, and just pop in the spare when you need it. I keep mine in my wallet.

I have three batteries for the G3. LOL. Only used one tho.
You don't really need extended battery - the standard battery can last you long enough with proper care. Just do the usual - brightness low, mobile data off etc etc and it should last you a day or almost a day.
Make sure to get your free battery.

"You" may not need an extended battery but please don't tell me what I need. As for ME, I don't see a point in having a phone if it doesn't keep me connected 24/7..or if I can't see what's on the screen. I started this thread just to see if there was something out there... Not to be told what I do or do not need

I would guess 2-4 days. I can about 1.5 with just checking facebook/browsing/email. Usually get 1 day if i play some games/watch a lot of video.
So no one who owns a G5 has at least tried one of these supposed bigger batteries??

There are some pretty decent receptions of the brand, and then a couple not so decent, but in general it looks more positive than negative and so far no catastrophic failures to note.

It may tickle you a bit wrong to know Best4Power no longer sells anything on Amazon. But I hope someone steps up to be our Guinea pig - there will be much thanks for the brave soul first to take the plunge and post their findings here.
I've got one similar to this, I ordered from Amazon, well actually a site called Amazon review trader where I got a promotion code for the battery. It's a 3500mAh battery by the description, yet the same physical size as the original. What I can say about it is any time you reboot the phone and the battery is at 100% you are greeted with an invalid battery warning and the phone powers down. The only way to get it to remain on its trying to reboot it a few times and once it uses a couple percentages of the battery it's fine. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new one but it also does the same so not sure.
The battery appears identical in size, feel and shape to the original one, just wrapped differently. The first day of use I ended with over 4hrs screen time but I was in an area with little to no signal, the next day I was home most the day and got 6 and a half hours screen time. I literally ran the phone till it was at 2% then powered down and replaced the battery. I use the phone for browsing, emails, text and phone calls, location is generally set to wireless network etc.
The question on if I would buy another..I don't think so, reason being is the invalid battery warning message, batteries are just not something to play with, the actual battery tho outside of the rebooting issue stated does work fine and seems to last a bit longer when compared to the stock one.
Hey everyone,
I've finally decided to actively look for ways to extend my battery life, kinda fed up of the poor SoT and overnight drain.
I know there are other ROMs I can try that will improve the battery life, as well as other tips like disabling ok Google, but I was thinking more on the hardware level.
Has anyone looked for/replaced the battery on their Mi 9? I found a battery on AliExpress claiming to have the same form factor as the OEM while boasting 4650mAh
I'm incredibly sceptical of this but nevertheless, there's a small part of me itching to get it hoping it will add significant life to the device.
Any thoughts or reviews?
All those batterys are fake
Fake capacity
If it was possible to make a battery with same size of the original battery but with higher capacity why all oems doesnt make this type of batteries ?
I see iphone 5s with 4500mah capacity in the same size
That's exactly what I thought as well, but I'm not very familiar with how batteries are made etc, so I'm not sure if another company that dedicates themselves to making just batteries, later figured how to make bigger capacity in the same size.
But I tend to lean more on your same line of thought, which is why I wanted to know if anyone here had some first hand experience with these kind of claims.
Is there any good replacement batteries with the same capacity as the original one?
Does the Mi 9 Pro battery fit?

hi everyone, has anyone managed to find a replacement battery or a way to improve it?
Anyone know of any US sources for a replacement battery? I'm kind of in a pickle here. My case developed a crack in it several months ago. It was just a minor cosmetic thing so it hadn't bugged me too much. Lately every time I grab my phone I hear it creaking so I decided to look for an exact replacement case. The original store I bought mine from is listed as out of stock and searching for the part number elsewhere came up with 3 stores, all out of stock. Doing searches on ebay/amazon/ailibabba didn't come up with anything. I decided to just go ahead and get my phone out of this case and stick it into the stock TPU case. Anyway, I pop open the metal frame and the glass back literally flies off. I'm shocked to see the back of my phone now 90% popped outward. Looking from the side it's becuase the battery is one giant swollen blob! Everything is working fine, I had zero clue there was anything wrong until I tried taking it out of my case now I'm kind of on a desperate hunt for a replacement battery. I don't even know how I'm going to hold my phone together beyond attempting to cram it back into my metal/glassback case.
Edit: I ended up getting a replacement battery from iFixIt and using their replacement guide. Note, their guide is for the non-transparent edition. For the transparent edition, they use P2 pentalobe(0.8mm star) screws rather than phillips #00.
after EDL and its story everything is ok except there is no fast charging available and the phone charged normaly.
the original adaptor also rattles something in it maybe it is normal. MIUI 12 12.0.2

Unfortunately it's way too soon for me to tell. I'm not sure I did battery calibration correctly because I replaced the battery last Wednesday, slow charged it to 100% on my slowest charger and let it continue on the slow charger for 2 hours, then unplugged it and continued to use it until it was so drained it couldn't turn on again(which to my surprise wasn't until Sunday evening). Then plugged in to that same slow charger without turning on the phone overnight. So I'm only a little over 2 days with the new battery. My SoT doesn't seem to be as good(my battery was at 65% this morning when I'm used to seeing low 70s-80s), but I might need to look back up how to do the battery calibration.
One note though, for some reason I had some difficulty getting the loud speaker realigned correctly. The connecting pins just didn't want to sit right. It took me three times taking it back apart until it worked properly. Might just be my phone but I'd be real careful with the alignment and do the whole "tightening a car tire" style turn each screw a little bit to make sure it seats flat. Again, it might just be a mfg defect with my particular phone as I didn't see anything online with anyone else having a similar problem.

If you are asking if I'm having a longer SoT, no. I'm not. I'm also using xiaomi.eu weekly which means I'm very used to inconsistent SoT as each week things change.
I have a transparent edition, which means rather than the phillips #00 screws you see in replacement guides I had 0.8mm star screws(P2 pentalobe).
The issue with my previous battery was it had ballooned to more than three times it's regular thickness which caused my back cover to pop off. So I don't have any advice on how to get the back off as mine had already fallen off. The funny bit is that I didn't replace the tape because I wanted to wait a few days to make sure everything was okay. My case ended up pressing the back cover tightly enough against the back that it ended up regluing itself when I took it out of the case to start retaping.
I had several issues with reassembly. My giant hands took quite awhile to get the antenna wire back on and since the replacement battery cable is a little longer than the original it took some wiggling until I was able to get the plug to be lined up to lock in. After I put it back together I tested everything and discovered the loudspeaker wasn't working. You need to screw it down like you are putting a tire on a car. Don't tighten each screw individually but go around to each one so when it's going down it's going down flat so the connection is straight(similar issue to the battery cable, if it's not exactly parallel, it doesn't connect).
I ended up doing a battery replacement. I got an original (at least it sure looks like it) and a new back cover to replace my scratched one. The install was easy, and I'm actually getting better life than the old one. Not dramatically better, but still a slight improvement.
