When I bought this sucker i managed to crack the digitizer in my pocket on day one. Tmobile wouldn't accept it so i just kept on using it. well i noticed my phone felt extremely hot in my pocket the other day.. and smoke was coming out the usb port. Of course because of the "physical damage" to the screen mobile wont' exchange it and in order to get a new one with insurance i'd have to spend more than I did on the phone in the first place. More money than I can spend with out falling short on rent. This is where you come in. If any of you have a broken SK4g say with a shattered screen/ cracked hinge, basically any sort of physical damage that doesn't effect the motherboard inside and you'd be willing to part with it for cheap. Please, PLEASE let me know.
An update. It killed the charge circuit and i'm getting by using an old sidekick lx and alligator clips to charge the battery... Its not pretty but its working! I'm sure this is hell on the battery.
you could buy a battery charger from ebay, then just swap batterys from the charger.
I've had my sidekick get hot at random one day an quickly removed the battery seams that it does it once an a while not sure why since my last phone a samsung memior also got rather hot aswell when gps was on.
I think Mine may have been close to doing that. I left it on the charger overnight. Woke up in the middle of the night several hours later and it was nearly burning hot! It usually charges completely in about 2 or so hours, but had only charged about 40% or less at the time.
It also slid under a blanket as a slept. That may have been a factor. I have noticed it gets a little warmer while on clothe as it charges.
still got this thing charging. It just sucks having zero use of the usb port any more. Once again please let me know if you've got any broken sidekicks i could use to Frankenstein.
You can get a used SK4g in good condition for about $150 (on the low end) off of eBay. That is really not a bad price.
Have any of you calibrated the battery when it is fully charged? This might be the issue?

i'm sorry but $1 is a too much to spend on a phone when the one you pay insurance on dies in under a month. Its a matter of principal and not money. Money I have, patience for criminals I do not. Long story short I bought a brand new sk4g out of contract through tmobile. its screen went completely wonky. Woudn't replace it because of a whitish pink hue on the the sticker despite never coming near water, spills, or even a steamy bathroom. Swapped out my old sk4g screen and the problem persisted leaving me with another ****ed motherboard. I was gonna go out and buy another phone before I came to my senses and decided to spend the money canceling my contract with tmobile. Don't buy this phone who ever you are. Don't buy it used. Don't buy it new, don't even take it for free, and most especially don't pay for insurance because its a ****ing scam.
This is a horrible phone, Gave it to my daughter to use as a game/MP3 thing,...and haha. Barely does that. It gets SOOO HOT Doesn't help that the ONLY good dev. we had for this left a long time ago (AyoTeddy) and the other ones we had we lil children. Looking at RAD

According to a forum in Chinese，G1 can use nokia BL-5C battery.
BL-5C is a bit narrower than the original battery, and the capacity is smaller( 1020 compare to 1150). But it is extremely cheap and easy to find, I even use it to replace the internal battery of palm t1.
It seems G1 would not charge those battery, so a Nokia desktop charger is needed。

I wouldn't trust those forums. lol. Using non-oem batteries, or batteries not specified for the phone is dangerous.
Just whipped the battery out of my works nokia with a BL-5CA battery in and it worked!
May come in handy as a spare while at work!

You did actually read the article right? The phone didn't explode he shot himself with a home-made gun.
yes, the 5C and 5CA batteries work as well as a few others, we had a thread about this in accesories, i would suggest that this only be used in an emergency like if you are stranded and the original battery is dead. i carry my 5CA in my car just in case i ever NEED to make that emergency phone call i have the ability. yes things can go wrong, but if you only use it in an emergency then you should be fine. ALSO do not try and charge the spare while it is inside the phone, i would bet my phone that once in a while the battery overcharges and can eat the phone.
why?
why would anyone want a spare battery thats possibly dangerous to use in your g1 and not only that, it also has a lower power capacity? as if the g1 battery doesnt suck enough keep a spare one with less power?!? my 2 cents

I once bought a desktop charger/dock for an old Nokia phone (8260 or something like that). The phone was fine but the spare battery that I had swelled like a balloon and smelled like melting plastic. Definitly not good. Obviously I threw out the desktop charger and spare battery. But ever since then I've been hesitant to buy anything but OEM.

lol did you read the article, the phone exploded in his 'breast' pocket as the asians call it, and it exploded, acting like a home-adme gun.. but it was really just the phone/battery combo, and as stated in the article there were other similar cases

The phone did not "explode" and kill the man. He made a homemade gun which they found next to him with 9 bullets...it went of accidently and hit him in the breast pocket which created the shrapnel that killed him.
Oh and here is the headline...obviously you didn't read the update to the original article that was listed below the pic. Here is the title...
"Man 'killed by exploding phone' shot himself"
Actually here is the article since you had trouble las time around
"Doctors who rushed to the scene of the explosion at a computer salesroom in Guangzhou, north of Hong Kong in southern China, found the man, named as Huang Heping, lying on the floor with a severed artery in his neck.
They found shattered fragments of his mobile phone, which had been in a top pocket, leading to suggestions that its lithium battery had exploded.
Exploding mobile phone batteries have been implicated in previous deaths and injuries, leading to safety advice being published on how to prevent accidents.
But this incident raised doubts, as batteries only overheat when they are being charged or used for long periods, not while they are sitting unused in pockets.
Now police sources have told local newspapers that the mobile phone was an innocent victim in the case. At first, it seemed as if the man was carrying some sort of homemade explosive, traces of which were found on his body.
Further examination at the scene discovered the remnants of what appeared to be a home-made firing device, with nine bullets in a separate bag.
They say they believe the gun went off accidentally after Huang, dropped it, killing him with a single shot to the neck. The phone was also broken, leading to the initial theory which came from those first on the scene.
The original report caused widespread consternation in China, which is in the middle of a panic about "shanzhai" or fake goods. Since the tainted milk scandal which killed at least six babies last year, fake medicines and medical equipment as well as other theoretically less dangerous products have been exposed.
It was feared that the Guangzhou incident might be just the first in a rash of fake battery explosions.
Police have not said why Huang, 45, might have been carrying a home-made gun.
But Guangzhou and its neighbour Shenzhen have notoriously high crime rates for China, and warnings have been sent out that this might get worse in the wake of the economic crisis. The region has lost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs in the last few months."
Cell phones batteries can be dangerous but I've seen them explode and you might get burned....chances of dying are slim unless you are built like a wet noodle.
Just came in the mail. Samsung sure took long enough getting these into stock -- I'd pre-ordered two months ago.
However, carrying a spare battery around should make charging issues irrelevant... (Angry Birds for everyone!) Too bad the stand doesn't fit well with my TPU case on the phone.
how much did u wind up paying. i got mine from a vzw store a while back and it was 39.99, i paid less do to my military discount. but if u found it alot cheaper, then i would really like to get my wife one as well,, mine also came with a splitter so i can charge the spare battery and my phone at the same time
Swyped from a black hole in a galaxy far far away, using the XDA app.
Can we get some pics?
If you and I have the same thing, I got mine free from Verizon. I called and was talking to the V tech and I was telling her that with hard use playing games like RoboDefense, watching Youtube or streaming Vcast, I can kill the phone in under 4 hours. So after an hour of working on the real reason I called for (my daughters ENVY3) and talking during pauses about the fascinate.... the nice lady offered to send me a spare battery and a stand alone battery charger as well. I thanked the heck out of her and 2 days later I got the battery and I got the flat black rectangle shaped charger and a "Y" splitter cable for the micro USB. You place the spare battery inside the rectangle charger andyou can set the phone in a sort of lot on the end of the rectangle.
I was very happy!
That's the one. Totally worth having it for me, even if I did have to pay. In my job, sometimes I won't be able yo connect my phone to power for up to 16 hrs
so fresh and so superclean.
+1 for the charger stand and extra battery. I always carry a spare battery when I travel and the stand/charger makes a nice dock in the hotel room or on the plane.
I didn't realize it doubled as a stand when I bought it, I was really just looking for a spare battery and charger but for once Samsung gave me more than I bargained for.
I was looking to purchase the 2 batteries plus charger for around 10 bux or so on ebay, but there are a variety of sellers, If you made this purchase who was your seller and what was the experience in terms of both shipping time and quality of the batteries? there is one seller on there that shows pictures of the batteries that says its "made in japan/finished in china", wonder if thats a better battery? Thanks!

I have two from spider foot they don't last as long as the oem. Good for backup though.
I just got my order from spiderfoot yesterday. It was 11.99 for two batts and charger plus usb cord and car charger. I ordered on the 28th of Dec so that's what, about 13 days? Not too bad for snail mail I suppose. I got one charged up before work yesterday and it lasted 6+ hours with fairly heavy use, I have a boring job at times. The other one I charged last night has 51% left and has been running my phone since around midnite, moderate use(I do sleep!). Bottom line for me is I now have three batteries and a way to charge them outside the phone so having three charged overnite isn't a hassle. What do you want for 11.99 anyway? Lastly, the charger gets them to 100% unlike the screwy samsung charging system or code...finally full batteries again! Like I said before, what do you want for 11.99?

Kinda reminds me of a $20 dollar hooker. You got the clap. You get what you pay for. Why do you think it was so cheap?
You save money by buying a cheapass battery from someone in china. You know how much they cut corners to maximize profit? Don't cry when a lithium ion battery explodes or catches fire in your pocket. Even the chinese living in america know better than to buy stuff made in china. They know it's crap. I work with them, I see it all the time.

Last time I think I found someone who imported them from China and sold them on ebay for a couple of extra dollars, so it was basically the same. I've done this for numerous phones (just neurotic if not a bad battery) and I have never had a problem. I WILL say that the generics don't always seem to last as long (maybe not on first charge but they may die quicker) than the OEM one I got, but I also got an OEM off Ebay that was DOA so go figure.
As for blowing up in your pocket....I'd be more afraid of dying quickly etc. I doubt it will blow up, link please
went ahead and purchased from spider-foot, so far no explosion lol, can't complain for 11 bux...thanks
sorry if this has been posted already. Ive always had an extra battery to with me with each of my past phones (og EVO, Epic Touch, Galaxy S3) my EVO lte was an obvious exception. I just hate being tethered to a charger, well I searched and found a nice Samsung charger and extra 2600mah battery system on Amazon, never had a problem with Amazon ever. I order the charger, receive it the next day, when I checked it (my wife had opened it and charged the battery for me by the time I got home from work so I didnt bother looking at the packaging) I get to checking it out and it just kinda felt cheaply made, I shrugged it off. fast forward to the next day, the time comes that I need the extra battery, I pop it in and boot the phone up..........it shows only 94% and it drained pretty quickly (this kinda went with what I initially thought) I then said "eh prolly because its a new battery) next day same thing, I start researching and find info on fake Samsung batteries, the battery had no sign of the moisture indicator was the first clue, second was it said "made in China, assembled in Corea" went home and inspected the packaging, no signs of the hologram Samsung logo anywhere looked at the charger a bit more, while its a great knock off, it just feels cheap and well fake, had it not been for the battery not taking a full charge, I would have thought nothing of it, of course Im sure NFC would not have worked either, but I rarely ever use it. I went ahead and orderd a real charging system from Samsung and sadly it didnt cost much more than the knock off

I bought the same thing from Amazon.
The OEM battery from Samsung is indeed the b600bu.
Comparing the original VZW one with the VZW tag on it. I don't see much of a difference but the moisture indicator as you said doesn't have the red x's as on the VZW but there is a sticker on there and not sure what happens to this sticker if it gets wet.
I haven't noticed a problem with the battery life personally on the OEM + battery charger one.
Mine OEM replacement only says made in Korea, nothing about china.
The Original VZW says Manufactured by Yongbo, cell from japan, manufactured in china.
I don't remember looking for the hologram sticker when I opened the package. Guess I should have checked. LOL.
The battery charging system is white with grey lettering.
Being that I have the 7500 lemon, 2 of these 2600 mah, and one 5200, I get good use out of the charger and swap out whenever and however I tend to need things.
I bet this wasn't sold and shipped by Amazon.
that would be the first thing I look at. I know there many counterfeits from china.
I would not trust buying any battery no matter how cheap (unless I was expecting a fake) not sold and shipped by amazon or Samsung.
just too many fakes out there.
the charging system is super cheap with the coupon for registering your s4 anyhow, I would not get it anywhere else.

was the item bought direct from amazon or the amazon market where people can list their items.
from you description, it's still hard to confirm it's fake.
many samsung batteries are shipped without the moisture indicator sticker and hologram, and their batteries are now made in many countries and assembled in many countries, which includes china.
try going through a few more charges and see what happens, or just return it for a refund.
FYI, I bought a genuine Samsung 2600mah battery from Phones4U (£25 - free with a coupon I had).
Whenever I charge this or the battery that came with my phone using an external Anker battery charger (Previously bought for 1600mah/1900mah S2 batteries) it will only charge it to 94%.
It's probably a problem with the external charger and not the battery?
nah guys almost 100% certain its a fake, the battery that was included only charges to 94% and discharges fast, the oem battery that came with my phone charged to 100% twice in the questionable charger. This was an item sold by one seller and fulfilled by Amazon (what ever this means) the seller I bought it from (yes I know I should have checked feedback before buying it but when I saw fulfilled by Amazon, I let my guard down) had several complaints of the same thing thing Im most offended by is the fact that it cost $40, I could have just ordered this from Samsung for $50 (which I ended up doing Sunday btw)
You rally have to be careful with those Corean devices. The Corean people just don't have the same work ethic and quality control standards as the Koreans who build the actual Samsung products.
Hahahah!
That's the great thing about Chinese knockoffs. They always get one little detail wrong like that to make it obvious its a fake. Like the fake iPhone will have the apple logo with the bite out of the wrong side. Or the HTC knockoff will have HTC's logo spelled with capital letters instead of lower case. But getting Korea wrong....I mean its like walking distance from China. How do you screw that up?
Anyway Amazon will refund you since it was fulfilled by Amazon. They won't even give you a hard time about it.

Hello everyone this is my review on the extra battery or replacement battery for you Samsung Galaxy S5. Thus battery is made by NOOT products and is available for 10 bucks on Amazon. Also free 2 day shipping is your a amazon prime member. Ok enough of plugging amazon on ti the real deal how did it work because we have all seen that great deal for 3 batteries and a charger for our phone for 15 bucks. The problem is they barely workif tthey work at all. Nm
Now there are they new fancy named companies witha ssimilar deal but someiof them even suck. Have no fear I already did the testing here NOOT products (Atleast there batterie, have nnot tried anything else yet) are the real deal. I have 3 Galaxy S5's in my house and we all have at least 2 back up batteries and we all use NOOT because they work as good as the OEM ones. I'm not just saying it to plug NOOT I could care less just your friendly XDA product reviewer (Just starting on here but have been for a while). I love my gadgets for my phones so I buy everything I think is cool for my phone or tablet. So I figure I can spend a few minutes and tell my XDA family member about my latest add on to my phone gadgets. I will tell it like it is good or bad. I will be posting several other on stuff I have already been using so is you been thinking about buy a glass screen protector or a wireless charging Back or card wait a day and read my next reviews.
Thanks
Any questions please ask.

For $10 you can't really go wrong with the very quick shipping from Amazon and an emergency backup battery.
I like it so far although it died on me at %30 once

I got them when they were on sale for $5 dollar with a promo code a while back. They work really well, I say about 80 to 90% of the oem time capacity, which was good for the price.
However on a hot afternoon, i left a battery inside my car ... the battery expanded (got fat) and won't fit in the phone anymore.

This. Apparently I have the most helpful favorable review on amazon for it right now, and while I liked the battery when it still worked, I need to edit my review on there as my battery has also gotten fat. It's weird though because I didn't leave it in my car or anything. Battery worked fine for about a month and a half and then all of a sudden it started dying really quick once it reach 30-40%. After several days the battery life started getting shorter and shorter until it didn't even last me 2 hours. Pulled off the back cover and I realized it was getting fatter. I also got it when it was just $5, so I shouldn't really complain, but I contacted the company twice about a replacement (since the product comes with a warranty). They haven't gotten back to me yet and it has been over a month since. Kinda frustrating that their customer service is so lame. Other than that I thought the battery was a good replacement for the price. I've since ordered backups from Caseology on amazon and they seem to work just as well as the Noot one when i first got it.
