I've bought new BST-41 Battery off ebay weeks ago.
He claim that they're "100% Original BST-41 New Sony Ericsson Battery X1 X-1 " and "From Sony Ericsson Singapore (NOT CHINA FAKE BATTERY)"
with the price of 17.99$ and free shipping so, I think I should give it a try.
As suspected, it is a fake, very neat fake I must say.

As you can see, they are almost identical.
Hologram reflects at ~30 degree. The fake hologram will elevated from label a little (like stick them on top), but the original will smooth across surface.
Hologram closeup. The fake one have more pixelation than the original.
Look at both SE logo and the word "SONY ERICSSON" around it.
Label closeup. Look at "Sony Ericsson" and "+" (positive), they will have some blur edge and not crisp.
Label closeup (lower part). The word "WNBTS" alignment off a little.
Back side. The fake one will have overlapping label.
Top side. You will notice that the battery shape is not identical, the fake one will have round edge, the original will have more square like edge. This is the easiest way to detect.
Another consideration is the "Moisture Sensor", the fake one will have "plain paper" instead of the moisture sensor (I have tried pouring water over it and the color won't change) and the size is larger too.
Bottom side. The original will have a hole (to depress pressure in case of exploding).
As of now, I've contacted the seller and ask him whether this is the original or not.
He replies "Yes it is original sony battery.. pls try to use it and by using it, u will know it is original."
What should I do?
File a dispute to Paypal? Contact SE to confirm it? Report the item to ebay?
I want to hear an opinion from you guys.
Thanks everyone who read this.

Man you have to take case in the matter... firstly report to ebay, and I think that ebay has the obligation to report to SE... do not contact the seller because ebay get throught there at the beginning, skip it and go right to open a case and report fake description, unsatisfied and sort of...
Firstly, what I have learned: "only dummies buy batteries on ebay"!
If you want the 'real' thing for sure, don't be cheap and go directly to a Sony Style Store and pay the price that this battery costs!
So, now: for me the 'original battery' that came with the phone looked fake to me from the beginning, I opened the X1 box the first time, anyways.
Second, I have a 09W23 model phone now and the battery looks now totally different if you compare with the 'old 2008'! It even states now 1450/1500 mAh!!! So looks and sounds now even 'faker'.
To Your case now, did you put it in the phone yet? I read somewhere that if one uses a 'fake' battery, the phone displays "Alien Battery" on the display. Not sure if this is the same with this.
At least for me, especially since the manufacture dates are different (the supposed fake one is later) if that is a fake, they did a pretty good job.
In order for ebay or paypal to do something (at least here in the U.S. of A.) you need to PROOF that this is a fake. And you can only do that by going to SE and have them confirm this is a fake! Then you can complain and file a report with ebay/paypal and get your money back. And hopefully learned your lesson and buy it direct at SE in the future!
In all my years of having SE phones, I never(!) found a real battery on ebay (unless somebody broke their phone and sold their battery!)! This is one thing one should not be: too cheap, and buy at the real place to get the real deal! (You say you paid 17.99... come on, the real thing runs for 59 or so! And you probably bought this from a user in Asia...somewhere....!)
By the way, I use the mugen power battery and compared to the SE OEM battery, that one looks like the cheapest crap you can imagine. But so far, all well and it has 1800mAh. AND the most important fact, the Temperature stays at only 25.9° C ! (the orig. stays between 35 and 49)

You say that Mugen is a good replacement? and the temprature is low do you notice it, like when i use my phones wifi/gps the back is of the phone gets really hot. is it the same with Mugen battery?

yep i had no problem with my mugen 1800, only that its a bit more sensitive to total discharge(avoid at all costs) , but it works nice and doesnt say alien battery
the mugen is an after market product where their company have standards and try to make theirselfes a good name by releasing quality products ,
but this is a simple fake , trying to get as much money as possible from ppl who fall for it , no quality standards whatsoever
dont get it twisted
They did a good job. You did a good job.
I'd start pushing buttons, but not expecting anything to come of it, just for my own satisfaction. eBay has no problem with fakes and misrepresentation as long as they get their fees.
At least they spelt Sony Ericsson right. Not like the double capacity batteries.
From the picture provided, the build quality isn't the same. You can definately tell which one is genuine by looking at it, but the scary thing is the counterfeit items look better and better. Not for long, we won't be able to tell which one is the real product.
Have you tested it? If the performance is fine, its worth it.

Yes, I do say! There were several older threads about this phone getting warm/hot. And one person suggested because the battery should be of higher capacity. So I went for this Mugen Power 1800mAh.
When it came it looked really like "what the heck did I buy", and the charge seems to be shorter then the OEM (like about 1 hour or so). BUT the most important part for me is solved, the battery temp stays ALWAYS below 30°C!
Once my OEM went up to 55 and somebody said its close to im/explode.
The phone still gets warm but probably because of the CPU working, definately NOT the battery.
I recommend the 1800mAh anytime! But not this 3600 as somebody stated this is just 2 of those packed together and the phone cannot calculate the real charge and this cover you need looks cheap and probably is!
Hope that helped! Just don't buy this or any other battery off ebay! Go buy it at the dealer to be safe rather then sorry!

I'd also like to know. I am currently in the dilemma of deciding between the 1800 and 3600. The 1800 keeps teh size, but the 3600 offers the power.... Hmm... I'm opting for the 3600 but I wouldn't be able to know if it's time to recharge or not! So .... Also, the 1800 is only 25 euros while the 3600 is 70 euros.
I'd want to have my phone last ALL Day with 3G and leaving a chat application open/connected.

skyevolved...this thread does not talk about the Mugen 1800 MAh battery for the Xperia X1.
This topic is about the OEM Xperia X1 Battery versus the FAKE Chinese Generic Battery. Both are 1500 MAh.
skyevolved, please, just take my advice and buy an extra ORIGINAL X1 battery and carry it with you all the time.
Well, the FAKE battery keep shutting my phone down (just gone blank, no warning) when battery meter reach around 40%, so I assume that the capacity is lower/compromise.
At fisrt, I have decided to keep it, but after it's shut my phone down without warning many times I think I should file a complaint to Paypal.
I've try to contacted SE to confirm these, but no respond from them yet.
May be if many people report them with counterfeit battery, they will act.
Can anyone who have experience dealing with fraud items on ebay help me sort this out please?

Easy, file a dispute NOW. And give a reason to why you file the dispute, and paypal will forward that reason as a warning to the seller.
am i the only one including the thread starter with a slight dent close to the top of the battery? my battery has the same dent lol

It's been over a months now, I'm curious - how did this turn out?
I'm thinking of ordering one of these 'OEM' Ebay batteries simply because they are so cheap now (< $5 USD) - Even if I can get an hour of safe usage on a charge I'd say I got my money's worth at that price point. That's the issue though, safe - I've used many non-OEM batteries in the past and the lack of a pressure release is what worries me most, because of the temps the X1 can get up to with GPS and radio active.
Not sure if I should go with the $4.25 "Non-OEMs" or the $4.75 "OEMs" - both are fakes obviously, but one just tries to be a cheap battery while the other tries to be cheap and look authentic - wondering which would be better in that case...
Peter
Wow, very nice writeup. Thanks for the headsup.
I bought one off ebay.co.uk from "echnouk" for £9.95 they are touted as removed from returned phones. Mine looks genuine when compared to your pics and lasts longer than the original battery does now.
If anyone is after a cheap genuine battery I can recommend this guy
@kanthai
very educational!
thanks you very much
i have confirmed that my X1i battery is orginal! thanks again.
Related
Thought I would write a quick review of the extended battery I just bought.
Background
I was rather unhappy with my original battery as were most people! It only lasted me a day and as my job requires me to be out and about a lot, plus to call people often, I thought something more robust would be better. My solution = The Cameron Sino 2600mAH Battery!
Initial Impressions
The battery is twice the size of stock. The battery cover did not close on my phone. Total size isnt too bad. It nearly doubles the phone thickness, but when I come onto the testing section later this is a worthwhile sacrifice.
Cover Fit
The cover didnt fit so I decided to buy a 32gb micro sd card (which works fine), and to super glue the cover on. I figured that using a scalpel I could remove the back (I tested and it works fine) if ever required. Hopefully I wont need to access it ever, or until I upgrade in 18 months and decide to sell it.
Performance
After charging to 100%, running down to 0% 3 times, I have now had the phone on for 5 days and it's current charge level is 10%. As you can see this is awesome. My settings:
Helix Launcher
Wifi On about an hour a day
Light phone calls (around 5 hours)
Light texting - 20 odd a day
3g Off
GPS off
I imagine in real life conditions 3 days moderate use would be obtainable.
Conclusion
Overall I am very very happy with this battery. It really brings this phone into the "worthwhile for daily use" category (it should have been here originally ofcourse). Hopefully will be able to use the standard UI rather than Helix when 2.1 comes out. Damn app power leaks.
Rating: 4/5 (Battery door a poor fit)
Edit: Forgot to mention at £16.99 delivered (amazon.co.uk), you can hardly go wrong!!!
Could you post a pic of your phone now please?
Unfortunately my only camera is my phone...... sorry. Maybe someone else can!?
Wow! I assume you like your phone carrier since it is difficult now to remove the sim card.
Well my carrier (Three) used to be terrible. However they appear to have upgraded their cell towers and I now have full signal most places that my friends dont! So yeah I like my carrier!
Why dont you buy the extra thick covers that are all over ebay so that you dont have to glue anything?
Edit: My bad they arent on ebay, but there is a thread in the accessories forum, I'm sure of it.
theres a couple of posts and reviews in a thread on here already and myself and several others paid just £12.99 free postage from ebay
Yeah I rarely buy off ebay - had a lot of problems with sellers before (might just be my luck ). I saw the other reviews, and just wanted to do my own hehe.
any chance to get a pic of your phone? how it looks with the glued cover?
If i ma not wrong, that battery comes with a cover for X10 right? Are u saying that that cover that they provide does not fit properly?
Mine fits properly. You just have to force the sides of the cover into place and thats it. Battery life is much better than the oem one and has a very noticeable difference.
ordered one from http://www.megacapacity.com/26985.html . Lets see how it goes
Just updating this thread for potential cameron sino battery buyers. I got the package 4 days ago. I removed my stock battery, popped this battery in, used the back cover that was provided by them. The phone became almost twice the depth thanx to the battery.
Then the issues started. Even though the green light used to come on when connected to the mains, the phone never used to start. Initially i thought the charge is low, so left it overnight, but then the next morning i saw tht I still had the same issue. After fidgeting with it for sometime, i noticed that there is a 1(or 0.5) mm gap between the battery and contacts because of which the x10 did not start. I used a thin plastic sheet(amost like a sheet of paper) to hold the battery up against the contact and it worked fine. Right now the problem is that if i shake the phone a bit vigorously, it gets disconnected because of the shorter battery.
But i want to see how the battery lasts so am using it for now. It all boils down to the time i have to wait till next charge. If it really gives around 70% more time (as claimed by many in other forums) i will use it despite the bulkiness and the smaller battery issues. Thanx for reading!!!
so this comes with a case as well for £12.99?

Thanks for this info! I was having the same issue with this battery. I thought I was having a driver issue for extended batteries but after reading your post, I confirmed that it wasnt the case. Fixed the problem but with a different approach.
What I did was I soldered a small amount of lead onto the contacts on the battery (careful enough not to short the contacts) so that it would give better contact on pins of the x10.. I know the process seems a little bit drastic but it works! I can't make the phone shutdown even when I shook the hell out of this phone.

not really, i stupidly bought a mugen 1800mah for 33usd! at least it fits properly though.
awsome!!!
5 DAYS!!!!!
awsome, I was planning to sell the phone because of the battery, unfourtionatly I live in sudan and there is no way to buy stuff online here!
I'm getting both soon so ill post a review. Anyone have experience with both?
Initial reaction to 2000mah - WOW. destroys even my old iPhone 4. And on my iPhone I actively turned off wifi, data etc. On my sgs2 wifi is on the whole time, and I've been listening to music on my Beats (battery hog) the whole time. Right now I'm on 80% after 1.5 hrs screen on 33% brightness, and beats playing the whole time. Stock ROM btw!

itll probs be ok dude but i got to say and warn people otherwise if anything happend i would feel bad
i think it was more the charger , it was the cheap black one , not the white anker one , perhaps this is why it blew up??
however this is a review for the sensation version and again it blows up when in the charger
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-rev...?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar
here you can see the cheap black charger
here you can see the proper anker white charger
I bought the same kit, two anker batteries with the black charger, no problems, been charging them fine, in fact they last a fair amount more than the original battery, my usual usage on the standard battery has me reaching for the charger around 8 hours, I am typing this out with the same kind of usage with 42% battery life left, I would say you had a faulty charger, not unusual with most things made so ****e these days from china, hardly any product testing done anymore, I have used my anker black charger lots and its worked a treat.

it exploded in the charger, not in the phone...
99% it was a faulty charger that havent been tested. I dont think it will ever blow up in your pocket
As stated before these batteries are fine it's the very cheap build chargers, if you ever open one up you would more likely dash it in the bin exposed connections. Bay the batteries and a good brand changer...

Truth
My sgs2 with the OEM 2000mah, wifi, data etc on officially destroys my iPhone 4 when I ACTIVELY turned off data, etc when I wasn't using it.
Amazing. No reason for iOS now. Only thing making me keep both was battery life.
Bye bye i4

I agree these anker batteries make my sgs2 last longer than my ip4 did, something that has annoyed since getting the phone, they really are good.

Update - constant usage since noon. Its 5:07 and I've been listening to music on some big over the ear (no batteries or external power) headphones that use tons of power for 2.5 hours and the screen has also been on for 2.5 hrs. I'm at 55%
I almost order the Anker one.. Phew
Got the 2 Anker batteries and the white charger... use them all the time, they work well!!

I'm getting mine soon!
Been reading some of the other topics here trying to learn which is the best choice for an extended battery for the T989. I've seen praise going out to Anker and EC Technologies, an extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus, someone having decent luck with a battery with Chinese printing on it, etc.
So let's make this simple...
1. Is there a definitive list of which batteries have consistently shown better performance over others and have shown to do at or above the expected return compared to the stock battery?
2. Are there any particular companies/brands/etc to avoid at all costs? As in, so bad that even manufacturers of other below-par extended batteries can honestly brag about not being THAT bad.
3. From what I've read and learned, most non stock batteries don't support NFC. Are there any reliable extended batteries that do? Are there alternatives to keep NFC available even if the battery doesn't support it? I have a feeling the answer is no to the last one, but I could be wrong.
Not really battery related, but charging related...
1. I've come across a dual purpose charger with the Sprint name on it (via ebay). It plugs into a car but you can unfold prongs on it so it can be plugged into the wall. On the end (away from car adapter), there are two USB ports (one open, the other you can uncover when needed). Are those any good? Main interest here is the dual USB option as well as being able to use in a car or in a house.
2. I guess more importantly would be, are the accessories seen on ebay generally reliable (Buy It Now auctions, reputable sellers of course)? A lot of the car plugs I've seen look like I wouldn't have much to grab to pull on when needing to unplug it and that worries me. Also concerned about the quality/safety/reliability of the products and thus the question. If they are all pretty much "all the same" just different looks and such, but otherwise all safe, then that's great.
3. From #1.. Are there any reliable/reputable car/wall chargers that provide more than two USB ports? Like the idea of it being a single car/wall charging unit, but if it's two pieces (with more than two USB ports each), that works too.
Ever since getting and starting to use the T989... Wow, I wonder what I'm doing to cause it to need to be charged 20 times/day. (Not literally.)
For the record, I had made the slight boo-boo of getting a pair of the cheapo 'extended' batteries before reading up on them. Not too bad though, doesn't hurt to have spares. I saw a reference to recalibrating a battery, but when going into recovery mode, didn't see an option referred to for resetting the stats. Are there any decent guides for proper care of a battery? Best practices when first getting it, when to charge it, not charge it, etc.
Thanks for any help provided. Now off to enjoy my phone some more. Haven't talked much on it yet but hey, only had it about three weeks.
for your answer for number 3 there is an app called super beam if my memory serves me right and has a blue kind of wifi signal and should serve as a good NFC "alternative"

By alternative, do you mean it's not NFC but serves the same purpose? I'll definitely check it out, as I can see the usefulness of NFC. Still would like to know if NFC itself can be accomplished when using a battery that doesn't support it. Actually, more of, wanting to understand it just enough to know if it's possible and how (if so) or why (if not). I hope that makes sense.
I had tried bump but that was a bit of a disappointment. Will try looking for 'super beam' and see if I can find it. Thanks.
Edit: Found it.
SuperBeam (com.majedev.superbeam), without a space in the name. Looks promising, will try it out.

Basically if its not a well known, reputable brand name (samsung) they have no reason to be truthful about mah
Most of the no brand batteries are equal or lower mah than stock.
If samsung could fit more mah in a battery of that size, why would they not?
For charger testing use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801608
Higher numbers = faster charging
The max the phone will pull from a good charger is around 800ma, usb ports on pc's are limited to 500, which equals slow charging

Profits come to mind. Could be that they intended to sell an extended battery but in the end never did (did they?) or wanted to leave room for improvements as a selling point in the future. I'm sure you know companies will do that sort of thing to stay in business.
When I asked about ones to avoid, I meant if there are any particular ones that are the bottom of the barrel, even among 'generic' batteries. Perhaps identified by the label itself even if it doesn't have an actual name on it. Would still love to hear feedback in regards to the more popular batteries, as I don't want to order a pair from Anker and then come across a group praising some other brand (for example) and of course, vice versa.

Oh and the cover is only for the Gnex, you have to use your stock t989 battery cover
In terms of 3rd party batteries, anker is supposed to be one of the better ones.

Yeah I figured as much, still not a bad deal. I could probably sell the back on eBay, so that someone else ends up with it. Might not matter too much with the bulging door, as I'm using one of those 'Heavy Duty Rugged' cases. The one I got on eBay is item # 620107891193. Not really into the idea of doing anything to a battery, for fear of causing it to leak or something else which causes problems.

Will do. Still need to check out that app you mentioned in the previous post.
When I first looked at the deal link you provided, the date alone had me thinking, "Oh yeah, this is likely long gone..." but decided that I had nothing to lose by checking it out. As you probably guessed by my last post, it's still good. Many thanks for that.

Seems like your regular generic qi charger, but in the shape of an orb. I'm wondering whether or not it works well, and if it hold on to the phone while charging.
I just got one in the mail. Looks the same as the ones you posted. Nexus 5 fits well on and stays in place. Doesn't seem to be too sensitive to placement of the phone. Just doesn't read the very bottom or top of phone, but expected not to. Also, works with a case on. So far it's nice for $20.
Over the next couple days I'll see how it actually preforms and see what power it's giving off.

Sorry about that, check out this post I made on what I thought initially with some pictures. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47500010&postcount=62
It's now been through about 3-4 charges and so far I'm happy with the purchase. It charged from 10% - 88% in 2:08 at 6-750 mA, then 88% - 100% in 50 at 3-400 mA. It seems to slow the charge when it gets close to 90%. Can't say if it trickle charges but it doesn't seem like it's overcharging. Battery temp drops when it hits 100% and when I pulled it off about 6 hours later it was at 100% still but cool to the touch. I read some chargers aren't trickle because of the software on the N5, not sure though.
Placement isn't very sensitive but can't go very low or high on it, works in landscape and with a case. It has three LEDs red, green, and blue and aren't blinding at night. I'm probably going to get another for $25.

Thanks for the info. 40 C (104 F) seems a bit warm but I understand that is normal for wireless charging. It's good to know it was cool to the touch when you took it off. The charge rate is comparable to other Qi chargers, though significantly slower than wired. I would say it's a fair trade-off for saving wear and tear on your micro USB port though. It's also good to hear the LEDs aren't blinding.
I am trying to decide between this particular model and the Metrans MWT03 charger (also in the $20-25 price range). I would say my deciding factors are if the charger 1) does trickle charging at 100% while keeping the phone cool instead of completely shutting off, 2) doesn't have an audible notification- some people find it annoying to hear a beep in the middle of the night every time there is a break in the charge.
Edit: never mind, I found the listing through your entry on the Qi survey. If anything changes in your experience with the orb, please keep us updated!
Yea, it seemed high but seeing others I didn't worry. Looking at the log from the past few nights, the max it actually hit was 36c so not sure how come it got so hot the first night. Having the phone at 100 when I pull it off is nice and I like the incline for viewing it while charging. Still not sure about the trickle charge, I notice if I take it off when it's at 100% it will not charge the device and the battery falls. I will have to test to see if it picks the charge back up at the lower 90%.
Did anybody already order one of these in Europe?

Where did you get yours from (though I'm sure they're all mostly the same..).
Also- does it make any sound when it charges? Like an annoying beep or anything like that.
Also- was there any name or brand on it?
Today I ordered one of the black ones from a shop on alibaba, hopefully it will arrive soon.
I'm gonna post my experience here as soon as I get my hands on it. I hope DHL delivers fast.

Here you go, this one is a little more than $30 but I liked it since it was shipped from CA. Paid $1 for First Class mail and got it in 2 days. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111175185798?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649http://www.ebay.com/itm/111175185798?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
There are no noises from the charger and no branding. Only thing it says is "RC Electronics" on the very bottom.

Finally got it
After a slight dispute with customs office (had to pay nothing in the end, yay! ) I was finally able to try one out, having paid $24 (~17€) for it, including shipping costs.
The box looks surprisingly similar to the crazily overpriced original Nexus 4 charger, which I tried to get first, but no luck for me.
It comes with just the Charger, a reasonably long USB cable and the power adapter. Everything we need to set it up and get it running.

}
I was lucky, there's been a hole in either charger and AC Adapter, for each end of the cable, and fortunately they fit. :good:
The charger itself looks pretty neat, and to my surprise feels somehow heavy. I feared, that I could knock it over by misplacing the phone or something, but it weights easily double or more than the phone, so big plus on this side.
On the right, there are three LED's(red blue green, not in the picture) which switch on depending on the devices charging status. Their brightness level is reasonably low, which makes it no problem to keep it near the bed.
At first I was pretty skeptical, that the phone would stick to the charger, and so slide off, due to the steep slope. Once I removed the plastic foil on it, my doubts were blown away. That surface is so freakin' sticky, you fear more, that your phone will never come off the charger again. It absolutely stays in place, and it is not even that sensitive where or how to place the phone on it (just the very top and bottom didn't work).
And here we have the only downside. As it sticks so good, I fear that it will attract dust. Lots of it. And after some use, it will look a little bit nasty. If I find a way to clean it without losing the stickiness, It is perfect.
I didn't have time to do a 5-100% charge, but what I saw until now it charges ~ 1/4 slower than with the original power adapter. I didn't stop the exact time but in about an hour it charged 35-40 %. It seems that it becomes slower towards the end and just tops off the phone anytime it drops below 100% when full. Furthermore, as reportet by others, the phone is becomming slightly warm, but not even close to "hot", which I guess is pretty normal.
As an extra, they provided a short manual with warnings and warranty stuff, which is not really useful, but as for most chinese products, very funny to read
[TL;DR]
So overall I am very, very satisfied with my purchase it looks like the N4 orb (just the center "nexus" text is missing), and it works very well with the Nexus 5 (pessimistic guess 1/3 of battery per hour).
There is absolutely no chance that the phone slides off or doesn't stick to the charger, and it is not really sensitive to the positioning either.
Only minor doubt is that after some time dust will stick to the surface and give it a nasty look, but I hope I can prevent that from happening.
Yikes, I was hoping to find exactly this thread about a couple of weeks ago before I ordered the very same.
My experience with the charger has been largely the same. Seems to charge just as quickly as my official Nexus Orb, the LEDs are not super bright, and while my phone does get slightly warmer, I would be surprised if anyone considers it hot at all.
As far as comparisons with the official Nexus Orb, the materials look the same. If anything, I think this one is *slightly* lighter. Both orbs are identical in terms of the sticky materials. My N5 has never slipped a millimeter on either orb.
EDIT: Oh one big difference is the power adapter block itself. On the knockoff, the adapter is one of those stupid, massive bricks that takes up like two and a half outlet spots on a power strip. It drives me crazy. I brought my Nexus 5 adapter into the office so I can have those other one and a half outlets back. That's probably my only big gripe with the knockoff.
Official vs Replicas
Not sure if others have had the same experience but I've been using the official Nexus 4 Orb for almost a year now. I bought one of these replica's about 4 months ago for half the price of the official. I have to say, it's pretty neat. I've always been a fan of docks on my desk but the orb is brilliant as it serves a dual purpose for me (dock/stand plus charging ofcourse).
Anyway, all in all, they both work great as mentioned above. However, the stickiness of the replica isn't quite the same after a few months whereas the official nexus 4 orb is still perfect for me. Having said that, people had different experiences with even the official one so it could just be me. A great device at the end of the day and well the good news is that it still works after 4 months! (I'm just not very confident of the phone sticking on it overnight/for long periods as I have seen it slip/slide whereas the phone stays perfectly on the official one overnight).

If it's the same dimensions as OEM battery it shouldn't be a problem. I know I had 1950 Mah battery in my old Evo 3d and it worked just fine. You got me interested with this, it's time to change my battery too. There are no phones that I like just now, and my trusty old M7 could get a nice present these days.

That's true to some extent. Not all batteries on e-bay or Amazon, or wherever, are knockoffs. There are some that really do have specified capacity, and Polarcell has some very good reviews

I'm on my way to replace mine, but still waiting for the back housing to arrive. Could be a week, month, or three if the package gets lost on it's way from China. Front and middle housing + battery arrived in 2 weeks...
2800mAh BN07100 Phone Battery:

I'll measure old battery capacity and the new one (from empty to full charge) with this:
15V LCM USB Charger Doctor Voltage Current Meter Working Time Power Battery Capacity Tester:

Don't actually know if the capacity measuring with this tells you anything?

Interesting!! I'm about to replace my battery aswell and now that I've seen this battery I'm going to wait and read your tests to decide whether to buy this 2800mAh one or the original.
Looking forward to read your news
So, I tested my original battery with this tester and it measured ~2300mAh, which seems accurate.
Still waiting for a part of the housing to perform surgery on my phone, but it is very cold now, so I'm afraid to start taking the phone apart

I just replaced my HTC one M7 battery and ear piece speaker. It's not as hard as many people said. It took about one and half hour. And I caused no damage to the read cover. You don't need a new rear cover.
I found the following two youtube instructions are extremely useful:
Best way open the back cover:

At least you don't need a new case cover :laugh:
Parts are really cheap for this phone. Screen is like 20$.

The housing is black but really scratched badly, it was my brothers and i can't be bothered to put on a case, there aren't very good ones because i can't press the power button properly. I have a small crack at the bottom right it's not too bad though.
