LOL
I priced this up on eBay and Amazon here in the UK,
Its like half the price of the phone - WTF!

$166 USD? Suck my nuts.
I'd rather buy another 2 fatboy chargers for that.

Agreed, too much. Also its amusing that the time on clock is 2hrs and 36min behind the phone. Couldn't they be bothered to get them the same?

this doesn't seem bad for the price

Not bad at all if the Nexus Wireless charger costs over $100 I'm buying the one you mentioned.

Supposedly there's older phones which had the same techonology which can be used with the N4, I read about it two or three weeks ago, but forget what it was, there was 3 charging stations for $48 I think it was .

except it being a monstrosity. Looks fine in the garage next to your craftsman tool kit, but who would want that in their living room?

"Monstrosity" is a little extreme, isn't it? I mean it's not that much bigger than the phone. Look at it compared to the iPhone.

how about an LG wireless charger?

2 Batteries and Charger 9.98

Heres the link guys.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180548075445&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
It think its a pretty good deal.
Beware that cheap batteries from HongKong/China tend to not hold charge at what they are listed and have much less battery life.
Either if they are from US or Hong Kong, it doesn't really matter. If you purchase them from the states, where do you think they came from? For 9.98 I'm willing to give it a shot.

I bought the same deal for my Evo 2 weeks ago and don't notice a difference from these batteries and the stock one. It should be the same for the Epic too

I'm waiting to hear about this. The EVO ones have I think close to 8000 sold now, and a lot of people are claiming that they're as good as stock OEM.
With any luck, this is the same deal and if that's the case I'm grabbing one, no questions asked.

I ordered them, as soon as they get here I'll let you know.
Thank for the info. I just ordered the $9.95 package from Ebay. Free shipping too. Ya can't go wrong for that price.
just ordered it, figured 10 bucks is worth the risk. Would be a steal if they are even half as good.
First time every buying anything from eBay but even at an $11 loss, I think it's worth it.
If it arrives, I'll make sure to let everyone know how it holds up.
Bought one yesterday too!
Will report my findings!
one thing to note is that the specs say that the output for DC is only 350mA +/-50mA which means it will charge pretty darn slowly... nonetheless, can't complain for $10!

The wall charger that comes with these batteries is a trickle charger. This is similar to how your battery is charged via a usb port on your computer.
Thanks OP, just copped one for myself. Will post results when they arrive

I received the 2 batteries yestetday morning,charged them up for 6 hrs,use it since yesterday afternoon,first impression is it is as good as the OEM.THe batteries that i received have the Samsung label on the battery,diffeerent than what it showed on the ebay auction.

[Q] Anyone able to find a legit Infuse Battery Charger?

I am at my wits end here... I ordered 2 Infuse Battery Chargers (on eBay)... from 2 different sellers in Hong Kong. Clearly they haven't gotten the memo about the battery that fits the Infuse 4G, because BOTH sellers advertised the product as able to charge a Samsung Infuse 4G, yet both of the sellers sent a battery charger for the I9000.
Has anyone actually found one that is for the right battery? LOL. I know it's only cost me $4 each, but the wait only to be disappointed when the wrong product arrives drives me insane.
Thanks!
Someone mentioned here on the forums, you can use a samsung captivate battery. Same width, smaller height. So the user stuffed some paper bits in the remaining area so that the battery holds in place. Not a long-term solution, but if you need to do something about it, that's an option. I haven't tried it myself.

From my understanding you CAN... but the issue is if you stuff paper in there and your phone gets jostled, it may cause the power contacts to lose and re-connect, causing random reboots.
There are non-OEM Infuse batteries on eBay for $8 for 3... or $24 for one original.. is it really that big of deal to spend a couple bucks? It's like buying a Porsche and then cramming an after market air filter in that's half the size and surrounding it in tissue, hehe
I have 2 captivate batterys laying around and yes they are compatible. Just.wedge something in there to make.up for the room. Comes in handy for emergencys. They dont last as.long but o well right. Also i used the captivate battery charger to charge my infuse battery lol i know it dont fit right so i used a rubber band to hold it into place and yes it worked.

Well I got the "Samsung Infuse 4G 1800mAh 2 Battery+Dock USB CHGR Anker" on ebay from laptopmate_usa.
Includes 2 batteries plus a flimsy charger (still works fine however) and they work great in my experience.
I think it's ridiculous to pay full price for replacement batteries.

I have 2 ebay batteries and an extra OEM battery. The ebay batteries most certainly are NOT 1800 mAh. But they make good spares for traveling or extended movie watching.

List of tested induction charger for Nexus 4

Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160923480453
It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?
wow, that thing adds wireless charging to a phone that doesn't have wireless charging. that's pretty cool. sorry it didn't work with the N4 tho
smirkis said:

Click to expand...

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.

Thanks for the post. I had actually been looking at this one on eBay. It's only $50usd shipped in the US ebay. I'm sorry you bought something and ended up waisting your money, but I appreciate you sharing your experience with others so we don't make the same mistake.

The Oregon Scientific QW201 "Time & Wireless Charging Station" works to charge the phone.
http://www2.oregonscientific.com/ca...-prod-Time-and-Wireless-Charging-Station.html
It also has a few other neat features like remote thermometer. However I'm returning mine for a few reasons.
1. the atomic clock set didn't work
2. viewing angle extremely limited
3. bright blue charging indicator
I'd probably have kept it if not for #1.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :

TYLT VU Wireless charger - looks promising

or as the author of the article points out: The first thing at CES I actually want, now.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...vu-a-wireless-qi-charger-that-actually-works/
Information on the website is also scarce with only a Coming Soon badge at the top of the product page. (http://www.tylt.com/vu/)
Couldn't agree more... This one really looks great, and no risk of slipping from it i'd say...
I don't understand why there aren't more Wireless chargers available, not to mention the google one, the technology isn't that new...
Yup, looks good. I'm hesitant to pick up anything until Google releases the orb, or at least I see the orb in action. But I like the look of this one.

I already have an Energizer which was going to tide me over until the official Orb was released.
I'd snatch up that TYLT one in April if it wasn't so pricey... For $70 I'll just wait for the Orb.
No thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7
I really doubt the orb will be a reality. The Q was canned and never returned. LG can barely keep up with demand and is now rumored to have stopped Nexus 4 production completely. You can't even get a bumper for the device. I really highly doubt that the orb will happen. If you do any searches regarding it, most of the results are "where is the orb?" and many are posted prior to Christmas (it was announced by Google in October, and like I mentioned about the Q, it isn't the first time Google got people excited about something that didn't pan out). So I hate to rain on the parade but I highly doubt it will happen. Even then it may release and be plagued with issues. I saw the CES review on Android Police and the VU seems to be a great device. Not awkward or a pain to charge, just drop the device anywhere on the pad and good to go!
I wonder what they mean by "Output Current 5 Watts" on their product site. 5A? Noo

Motorola TurboPower 15 Charger alternative?

Hi Gurus,
Just wondering if there are some alternative chargers for the upcoming Moto X Style?
The official charger is about 25 quid, do I have to use the official charger to get the same charging performance?
Thinking about buying a wall charger like this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P2GW7MG/?tag=ho01f-21
Would it work for Moto X Style?
Well no because the Charger for the best speeds is actually TurboPower 25.
And that hasnt been released yet in the UK and it would be stupid if it doesnt. I recon they will have a discount price on pre order release day thats my guess anyhow.

Maybe that's why moto is delaying the UK launch as the charges are not ready.
So I guess I'll have to buy an extra so I can do fast charge both at home and work.

Btw what you linked is just a surge protecter? It would do nothing but waste £15 lol
I think I did a bad job of explaining. If you want the superfast speeds Motorola claim that can be achieved (0-34% in 15mins) then you will need their Turbo25 charger. But you can still charge it fast (probs 0-26% in 15minutes) via a Qualcomm 2.0 Quick Charger such as this ...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Qualcomm-Ce...1441404838&sr=8-5&keywords=aukey+quick+charge
Yeah I'm going to buy two aswell one for home and one for work, however at the minute I'm waiting to see what Motorola do. Worse case I will use the standard one that ships with it for a while and then maybe just buy the item I linked (Qualcomm 2.0 quick charger). Would be able to buy two of them for less than the price of the TurboCharge 25 would be my guess.
Takes the biscuit that we in the UK wont get a Turbo25 charger in the box
Hopefully that explains it a bit better lol.
So the "15" chargers that were up as a suggested additional purchase aren't even the right ones? Poop

That Belkin is a converter with a surge protector, but I'm not sure how the 2.4 amp will be shared.
Thanks for the thorough explanation mate, really appreciate the recommendation.

Looks like the phones are being shipped in US, but the 25w chargers are still not available in US.
I can only hope the charger would be available by the time pre-orders are open in the UK.
