Internal battery swelling

[N8ofire]

Hi Wudda, yes this is really disappointing. The concept of the phone is great, that's why i bought one for my wife also. So, my typical pattern of charging was to run Down the external battery in a day, then put it on charge at night. Usually the internal battery was near full or full when doing this. We are on stock rom.
I have also had the nuisance reboots and complete shutdowns, especially lately when both batts are low. Camera crashes, and chrome goes black all the time, so had to remove it. General slow multitasking and lag has also been an issue. This is my first try with a non name brand phone, and has given way more problems than the Samsung and Motorolas I've had. I really wanted them to get it right, but now i dont have much faith in that. The phone dialer is also sometimes non responsive... Fortunately a reboot usually brings it back.
I really need a fast and reliable dual sim with great battery and camera and water/dust resist as bonus. Will this be the year it comes out?

Man, it's a huge bummer to hear this is happening, let alone common.

My supervisor's Samsung Note 4 had this problem too, but fortunately his battery was readily available and cheap/easy to replace.

If you don't mind me asking, what were your guys's charging habits like? And what ROM were you running?

It's a long shot (and probably a bad idea, and a giant pain in the butt), but is it possible to jumper the internal battery contacts to the external battery? Cover the contacts for the external battery to go to the phone, jumper the external battery contacts to where the internal battery would have connected?

I'm sorry, guys. It sucks that this is happening.
