tl;dr: Got a new battery. I've seen lots of posts around on how to reset the battery stats so the phone "knows" how to accurately gauge how much batter is left. Is that necessary with a new battery?

I upgraded to stock pie about a month or so ago. Since then, my phone randomly freezes and reboots 5-10 times per day. It's not an app causing it as it does it the same thing in safe mode. It happens when the phone is plugged in also. I thought maybe it was the battery, so I got a new one installed. It's still doing it even after the new battery.

What Is your screen on time with the new battery? do you recomend replace the battery?
I don't really remember what it was before I had the battery replaced. SOT was definitely quite a bit lower than when new. The phone was over a year and half old and I'm a pretty heavy user so it was charge cycles A LOT. IIRC, Accubattery showed it was holding about 75% of original charge. It definitely feels, like the new battery as a couple more(if not more) hours of SOT now.

Hi there.
Was wondering if u have replaced the battery yourself. And it survived the procedure alright. I am now having the same stats - accubattery shows 75% health.

Should I go for it? Scared as hell :)
