Maybe it's my OCD or maybe just that I love my G2. Knowing that when the times comes and my battery finally dies my G2 will be useless actually bothers me. Right now is the perfect phone except for this one small detail.
Is there a solution for this? Will it be possible to use the phone when plugged in after the battery goes?

The battery like the rest of the phone is warrantied for a year, and rated to last for several.
Do you really think you're going to keep the phone long enough to kill the battery?
Very few phones have replaceable batteries now, and I'll take excellent build quality on the phone over a removable battery every time.

I do. All my old devices get repurposed into weather/clock stations in various rooms in my house. Why toss them? I have yet to have any battery die though.
Once it's out of warranty you can just buy a new battery and replace it yourself. I don't think it should be too hard to take the back off... The nexus 4 wasn't anyway.

Have you seen what you must do to replace it?
I doubt that anyone would do it himself. Never the less there are services who can replace it for you.
It is really hard to kill the battery. I have 3 years old phones which can last work day without charging.
I've never had an issue with batteries and I don't see having one with this phone.
on the move..
Keep the phone hot while charging (say, as a GPS in the car) you'll kill it within 18 months, easy. But treat it right and it'll be just fine.
And yes, I don't like the non-replaceable battery. That said, I've only replaced the battery in one phone that I was still using in the last four years.
And while replacing the battery in the G2 isn't impossible, it's far from easy. Lots of little cables to unplug, move, heavily glued down stuff, etc.. Pain in the ass.
I will not take years of significant extra bulk and 15% less battery life (2600 vs 3000mAh) just to easily be able to replace the battery 2 years from now. I would rather replace the phone when the battery dies, which will be needed anyway.
I also find it a little problematic long term. But I like the size of this phone. So I decided to buy it anyway.
No, I don't care if I have to spend some extra hour switching the battery if I still have the phone after 3 years or so when it's getting bad and needs to be replaced.

For some reason, my g1 alwyas randomly turns off during the day, sometimes when i try to text, it just turns off, or when i recieve a call, it turns off, and the battery never represents a true showing, because sometimes itll sayy its very low and turn off, and i wait 5 mins, and turn it back on again without connecting it to a power source, and it says its a 66 pct... anyone have an idea why?
Is ur battery bulging in the middle? Your battery is probably crap. I would try buy a cheap new one online for like 5 to 15bucks that should fix the problem. I seen some 1400mAH batteries on ebay, you get 2 for 10$ but i dunno if they are good. Try look in the acessories section and you might find some good reviews on batteries. I need to get one too i wanna get the seidio one but priced at 40$ i rather sell my g1 put it with the 40$ and buy a mytouch 3g slide...

Im pretty sure its your battery. Check the center of your battery and if its swollen then you solved your problem. This happened to me about a month ago and i feel u that rebooting reeeaally gets annoying! Just buy a new battery. I bought one from amazon for 15$ Give it a try
thank you all so much, so basically, it cant be the phone, it most likely is the battery

NOBODY SAID THAT!
They're saying that it is LIKELY the battery.
NOT that it MUST be the battery.
then what could the software problem be? i flashed it back to the stock firmware and rom and everything, but the battery still runs out in like 8 hours
Anyone know if there are any that are actually worth it and don't begin degrading?
I've read a lot of reviews saying that most of them work for 1-2 weeks and then start to lose strength.
I'm looking for a reliable brand.
I have had my HTC Evo 4G 1800 mah batteries since the G2 came out. No degradation, minor label modification. Battery door fits fine.
I also have one, but I don't use it every day, just couple of times when going on a trip or traveling. I can easily tell it hold a lot more juice than original and the battery door is well made and has this soft touch, not a cheap plastic.
Also lately I began using external battery charger, the black one that plugs directly into the phone, no cables. I simply always have one in my bag.
the chichitec ones have been working good for me stock rom rooted. I'm getting about 18-20 hours or so depending on usage. The fastest I've been able to kill it is probably 7-9 hours of constant use with everything on, but that was intentional to see how fast i could kill it lol. Cost me like 18 buck on amazon, removed label clipped the ends and voila cover fits perfectly just tape on battery above microsd card holder so it wont short out.

What do you mean clip the ends and tap on battery above microsd holder? Does it not fit OTB? Can you use the original battery covery with it?
There is this tiny clip you snip for the g2 (the battery is meant for another htc model but it fits) and remove the plastic vinyl cover, after that it just fits with the stock cover. The problem is you need to make sure the bare metal battery does not ground out with the sd card holder. a simple piece of tape works well. Search chichitec on here and there are several threads and how to's.
i just ordered an evo 4g slim 2000mah...heres hoping i can make it fit!

Good luck! I hope it does then I'll get one lmao! I'm getting about 20 hours moderate use on mine. On days i work and go to school and i don't use it at much I probably get more but i don't bother checking every 30 minutes like I did before. This new GB rom is waaaaay faster and better on battery life lol. My batteries were labeled as 1900 mah so not too much of a diff I think it'll fit...if not grind it down lol.

yea they were 14 bucks so ill give it a shot, i also ordered a galilio 1650mah thats made for the desire z for 8 bucks free shipping lol. so if the evo wont fit ill have a backup anyways. the stock lasts me about 18 hours on cm7 with horrible signal at work for 8 hours so its not too bad, a little more juice is always good tho

Galilio?
I pay 20 $ for 2 x 2000 mah + charger for the 4g.
Its been 2 months since my purchase, and its hard to say if its better than the stock one. My use are so different days after days. But, one thing sure, its not worst than the oem.

I was just wondering - did it fit?
and how is it?
I've had a Mugen 1800 battery in mine for a long while now, works great and no having to clip or modify or tape in any way. Between that and using the Green Power app I can easily get 2 days out of mine before charging.

just got it about an hour ago actually, wont fit not without sanding it down, and to be honest it doesnt look very well fabricated after the sticker is off it. also since i read the post above on how its not really much better than the 4g stock battery im not gonna bother sanding it to make it fit. i have a 1650mah battery on its way as well which says its for the desire z, so it should fit perfectly, but ill let you guys know if it does in fact last longer than the stocker.
so to sum things up, the evo 4g slim 2000mah wont fit without quite a bit of modification, its close...very close, but still requires sanding. if in fact it had amazing reviews i would mod it but ill just cut my losses and toss it.
update on the 1650mah dz battery to follow as soon as i recieve it. battery performance a few days following that.
cheers

Is this Serious?
It takes like 5 minutes with a dremel (including get it out from his box and plug it) to make the battery fit.
If you can use a cell phone, I'm pretty sure you can fit the 4 G battery...
MugenPowerBatteries anyway!
So with the nexus and others that don't have a replaceable battery what happens if you get a bad battery? You have to send the entire device in? Nearly all of my phone batteries go bad or degrade to the point of not being able to make it through the day within a year. Isn't this an important issue?
RMA back to Asus, or find the battery at a website, pop the back cover and replace it yourself.

Exactly.. Google was awesome with this tablet.. No prying off glued on covers and bezels, no heat guns, no setting a few hours of your time aside for a arts and crafts project dismantling your tablet..
It's almost like Google wants your products to be used for a long time.. :laugh:
Unlike the IPad, the back is not glued on and the battery actually has a connector, making replacement easy.
thanks for the replies, makes me feel a lot more comfortable about getting one.
Would really like like a 10" one. Hopefully we'll know in 3 days!
You won't regret it. This tablet is almost perfect. SD slot...perfection. I'm.coming from a 10"...7 is the perfect size. Tablet is truly portable. 10 is too big for me.

I would suggest RMA to ASUS, but it's most likely that at the time your battery goes bad, the warranty of it would be expired.

Yeah, that's why the screen-size of 7'' is amazing. And most importantly, its width is approximately twice the length of thumbs, thus allowing users to comfortably type in via the virtual keyboard (almost the same experience as using a real keyboard)
I have a 910T3 that I slow charge (AC) most of the time. When I see the green light go on, I unplug and see 100%, but after I reboot into TWRP recovery it is usually like 93%. Which one is accurate? I'd prefer the green light to go on when it's really 100%. Thank you.
Also, the stock battery is about 20 months old, and I can use it to about 0%-1% before it shuts off.
You could try reinitializing your battery. However seeing as your battery is that old. You would be better off getting a new one.
What is reinitializing the battery? I really wanted to avoid buying a new battery unless I really had to. I've read people's battery dying at like 25% left, that's when I'd buy a new one.

Above post is correct as your battery is quite old it is probably time for a new one. My old note 4 was very similar to this before the emmc failed in it it would always show different percentages on battery,the phone died before i got to replace battery though

Man I was hoping it wasn't time for a new battery just yet. Also, sorry to hear about your n4. Looks like eventually all of them will die like that soon. I swear this was planned cause the n5 wasn't that great, trying to thin out the n4 herd.

I tried the no5 for a bit, but wasn't really impressed with it. It had it's pros and cons, but I felt the no4 was better overall for my uses. I read others saying pretty much the same thing with sticking with the no4 rather than moving on the no5 cause of no battery or microsd card support etc.
How did you deal with dead batteries out of warranty or did you have both battery issues in the first year?

Lol i bought 3 note 5s and pieced them together with one one good screen and a bad usb port on said screen i swapped the batteries myself I heated the baqck and didnt bust it just scratched it. so i ordered a new back and use small dabs of rubber cement to put it back on.
I do all my own repairs no warranty. i had a verizon tmobile and sprint mother boards luckily I rooted before the usb went out completly and used wifi file transfer and wireless charge for that issue. So much as I now despise Usb ports and no wireless charge on devices.

Wow, I wish I had the skills and patience to do that. I know I'd make things worse and end up paying more in the long run for parts and fixing it. I think that is a huge reason why many won't move onto these newer phones without replaceable batteries.
I swapped out an older, but less used oem no4 battery and will see if it's any better.
So I'm using the older battery and lights up green at 100% (same level as TWRP rec).
But today, my phone just shut off at around 35-39% while in the middle of streaming a short video clip. Only way to turn it back on was to remove then reinsert the battery. Is this normal of dying batteries around the last 1/3 or could this possibly be an unstable kernel issue.
Hey everyone,
I bought a nexus 6p last week refurbished. Pretty much I was expecting the famous battery failure and did get it on my nexus around 30% - 20%. So I bought a new battery yesterday it comes tomorrow and will give it in to a phone shop to get it done by a technician , I need a straight answer does it fix the problem permanently and will it boost battery life. I know there has been MANY MANY MANY topics about it but I just need a straight answer.
Thanks
Yes, I replaced mine myself. I went from 1 hour SOT, dying at 70%, to 6-7+ hours dying at 0%.
The issue wont be fixed permanently though, you're just mitigating the problem
I did the same on two Nexus 6Ps, totally worth the effort.
YES!
Alright! Thanks guys I got my battery today and im gonna hand it in to a phone shop and get it done! I'll keep you updated on it.
Well! That replacement was totally worth it! Before I had i replaced, I'd wake up at like 9am with 100% battery then around 12pm it would be on 67% and pretty much die at 30 or 20%.
Since i got it replaced I have noticed a overhaul of improvements with my battery especially with the Franco kernel my battery life has doubled by an insane amount. I can actually go out and come back with like 50% without rapid draining. I am genuinely happy with that replacement. It feels great.
Thanks who said it was worth changing the battery. If you're planning to swap it. Do it! It's worth your time.

I personally have a mixed feeling. I replaced my battery a little while ago, and it was working great for months, but now the battery began draining like crazy. I read somewhere that there was a defect on the motherboard itself and that battery replacement would only be a temporarily fix as the main defect would eventually bring the issue back. I'm thinking to move on at this point as I don't want to keep replacing battery.

I have been. I've been researching the hell out of it tbh and most of the time that's mentioned it's because it's a low quality battery. Since it lasts a couple of weeks - 2 months and then back to square one. That's due to bad batteries.
Had the battery swapped a few days ago and its worth it. Before the swap i would get like 1 hour SoT at best and my phone would sit at around 30% when i got home from work with the phone completely drained at around 7-8 pm. Now i get more then double the SoT even with heavy use and has enough charge left when i got to bed ( around 30% ).

I visited a local shop near were I used to live for my gfs nexus and it's going 6months with no issues or degration, shut down or otherwise. I no longer live there or I would go back to repair my phone at the same location. Hopefully in a couple of months I can. I will report to you guys, I have not been able to find a legitimate battery to do it myself or a local shop at my current location. I know BLOD is an issue but that is not related to battery. I guess people could have faulty motherboards but not all of us do. But I'm not denying or agreeing with you because there's lots of people who bought batteries of poor quality and lasted about a month before going back to what they delt with before. I'm not to sure of this conversation is going but I hope you can fix your battery soon. Nexus besides its issues is still an amazing device and I hope I can keep it running for a couple more years.
