my battery life solution

Well my battery life is pretty good, I have the 2750mah and I'm running lightning rom 1.5 with the stock kernel and I get a solid 2 days, but just in case I ever decide to go back to the stock battery I made this nifty little thing. It's an altoids case with a portable charger and adapters inside, and the parts list is as follows:
1x 1N4742A 12V Zener Diode $1.59
Model: 1N4742 | Catalog #: 276-563
1x 6V 50mAh Solar Cell Encap $14.99
Model: 277-1205 | Catalog #: 277-1205
Both of which are available at radioshack, I also had to cut up an old mini-usb cable for the input.
Let me know what you guys think!

Lol that is awesome. How long for a full charge?

I haven't tested how long the solar panel will take to charge the battery in the case, but the battery is only 1000mah, so I get another 30% in about an hour, hour and a half ish

quite clever indeed what would happen if you used a couple solar panels in parallel?

I was thinking about it, at 14.99 a piece I just might. They produce 50ma each, so a second in parallel would be 100ma and charge twice as fast.

Wow that's badass. You should consider marketing it
I've often wondered why no one has made a phone case with photoelectric cells that continuously charge your phone.

there are not alot of times when i am not near electricity but i agree for those times when i am this is a sweet idea... camping over the weekend comes to mind.

i wish i had the money/time/resources to bring this to market, it is perfect for camping lol, my fiancee and i spend a week in the catskills every summer and im definitely bringing this along this year

Very nice . there is a solar charger in the market but who know how much time the charge.

I went a slightly different route. My Altoids charger will charge any USB device from a readily available 9v battery and one battery will get you several charges.

It has a standard USB port on the end and the red LED indicates when the charger is turned on. A simple switch on the side turns it on and off and it's regulated to 5v like any USB port.
And then my wife completely forgot that I built it and bought me one of these for x-mas.
It's called a Powerstick and has a small lithium battery inside that charges from any USB port, and comes with a bunch of small adapters to fit many different USB devices. The Powerstick cost about $25 + shipping, but the Altoids charger cost me about $15 to build, including having to replace the voltage regulator once after accidentally smoking the first one during assembly. The Powerstick is slimmer, but the Altoids charger wins for geek factor. Also, the powerstick needs charged off USB, whereas I can walk into almost any gas station or Wal-Mart and buy a 9v battery. So the Altoids charger wins on long trips.

Dude make me one n I'll buy it from u

thats sick, i like how the battery is replaceable, you could even use a rechargeable 9v and a solar panel to recharge it XD
mine has a standard usb as well, i just didnt show the proper angle lol, its in the pic below. the portable charger inside mine is an energizer xpal1000

I am FAR too stupid for this crazy ass thing. lol

It really depends on how much sunlight you have. Volts X watts determines the time it takes to charge. I am building mine tonight, and my calculations indicate about 8 hours for a full charge in bright sunlight.

portable charger, solve your battery issues once and for all!

i do alot of snowboarding, which typically involves alot of battery being used for my headphones/ internet radio and gps trail maps. there are also alot of situations where i am not able to have access to an outlet when needed. the one s has fairly decent battery life for a smart phone, but lets be honest, smart phone batteries suck. rather then mess with roms and optimizing battery life to squeeze an extra hour or 2 of usage i decided to just grab an external battery. i also dont like having much bulk in my pocket so i wanted something slim that was close to the same dimensions as the one s.
what i bought is the ultra slim touch control 4000mah mobile charger by power rover off of ebay for $39.99. its roughly the same width and thickness as the one s and is about 1.5cm shorter ( 65X115.5X7.5mm). its also constructed of aluminum so it matches the phone well. its got a nice heavy weight and feels solid and not cheap in any way. it has a similar feel and shape of an ipod classic.
the charger uses the same micro usb as the one s for charging, then it uses a standard usb port for the power output. the charger comes with a small usb to micro usb cable roughly 6" or 8" long, and also comes with a few adapters for different charging ports. the great thing about the included cable is that it can be used to charge the charger, then flipped into the outlet port and plugged directly into the one s so you shouldnt need to mess with multiple cables. i wouldnt say the cable is very high quality but should get the job done for a while.
ive now had some time to play with it an get an idea of the performance. the charger will fully charge in about 4 hours, and charges the one s in a similar amount of time as using the usb adapter. after completely draining my phone to the point where it wont power on anymore then plugging in the charger i was able to get 1.56 charges with practically zero use on the phone. in real world terms id bet you could get a full charge and a little more if you had heavy usage while charging. im a little disappointed as i was hoping for 2 full charges but its still completely usable. i dont have any other experience with portable chargers so i cant really compare its claimed output and real world figures. another small problem is the battery status is completely inaccurate. the charger drained to "25%" within 45minutes of charging, however that last 25% was able to finish off that charge, then charge a 2nd time to 56% so should be taken with a grain of salt.
with the phone stacked ontop of the charger its approximately 5/8" thick, and with it stacked using my distronic case its about 3/4". not exactly thin but pretty impressive considering it can extend your use about 1.5 times and your average cell phone was that thick (or larger) not to long ago.
im not sure if im allowed to post ebay links here but it can be found fairly easily.
to sum up
great build quality
solid feel
inaccurate battery display
decent performance

Dude cut your thumb nail!
Looks interesting and would like to hear how many chargers it manages. Looking at it some small plastic grips could be glued on to use it like a phone cradle which can be picked up cheap on ebay then modded for purpose. Depending on how it performs I may get myself one of these.

Agreed this is the way to go. I bought a 9900 mAh that has 2 usb outputs. As I also have a smartwatch.(what I really bought it for LOL) anyways glad someone else also decided to try these things out. I love my portable charger if people are interested ill do a review of mine

These portable battery chargers are great. I had picked on up from frys after killing my battery in a half day taking and streaming pictures for an event I went to. I can't remember off the top of my head who makes it, but I can get almost 3 charges out of it. It also has the second usb port for a tablet.
I can look at the model when I get home if anyone is interested.

Isnt this one the same as yours (except that it's black)? For only 23.20 USD, free shipping.

The mine doesn't work
I haver recently purchased a power bank MKPBST-002. However, when I received it, I plugged it int an outlet for first charge but it apparently did not work. I tried to charge the power bank both in power and laptop but any led switched on. Could you help me to start up my power bank?
Thank you.

QI charger in UK

I picked this charger up and it works great with my N4.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ANA8TA0/ref=wms_ohs_product
Its a tiny bit picky with a case on, and if you put the phone down on the white LEG panel at the top, but otherwise brilliant.
I'll try and run the phone down low, and get a screen shot showing charging time. I don't think its that much slower than the wire (and I leave my screen on when charging)

Thanks. I bought one and it even works with the official bumper and stick on plastic cover on the back. However, the flashing blue light is annoying. I might have to open it up and disconnect it.

Just had to say I feel your pain... I don't understand why the manufacturer decided to fit an LED that lights up the entire room to show the thing is charging

5V is 5V, but the USB Qi charger asks for 2A in and that's more than the N4 charger gives (I think)
Its also more than a USB 2 port can give, they are limited to 500mA normally.
USB3 can give that kind of output.
Less Amps = slower charge

Hmmm...fortunately I have a USB 3 port, would that mean I'll get a similar charge time as using the mains version?

Damn, sadly my memory failed me and it seems USB3 can only give 900mA.
Sorry to get hopes up, but I think you'd get a faster charge from a wall socket.

There's a semi-circle of tiny LEDs at the top marked D1-D12. I tried desoldering D9 and D10 but in the end I just ripped them out with tweezers because my soldering skills are seriously lacking. After putting it all back together surprisingly it still worked and it doesn't light up anymore! The LEDs must have been connected in series to each other but in parallel to the rest of the charger.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you open up your qi wireless charger and electrocute your cat or something. Follow these instructions at your own risk.
EDIT: Nope it still lights up, just less so. Why won't it die!?

I have the latest tasker beta setup to vibrate when wireless charging goes on and off, makes it easy to tell when its working when you can't see the leds

If the specs are right it looks like the USB one puts out ~3.5W vs the more normal 5W, so is a bit slower.
Its not really clear why it is lower power (even if the losses are higher a 1.5 or 2A 5v charger would be powerful enough). Maybe the limit is whatever step up conversion they use to increase the 5v for transmission.
Google's help site says the nexus 4 charger is 1.2A (I thought it was 1.5), but this should still work fine with this Qi charger. If it turns out it can put out more like 5W then you would be slightly better off with a 2A charger.
I am quite tempted by this USB one anyway because it is a bit more flexible - you can use other sources such as batteries or even a pc. Most of the other ones (besides the nokia) use 19v so you cant use much besides the included mains adapter.
Anyway, thanks for the links in this thread - I had been considering buying the same one as you but from mobilefun for more money.

Anyone tested this with a bumper? Also, has the phone to be centered to work with it?

It's a little fussy about positioning and it might take a few seconds before it "notices" the phone but yes it works with the bumper

Fast Chargers

The LG V10 does support Qualcomm 2.0 Fast Charging. Here are the models of Batteries, Car Chargers and Wall Chargers that I have tested and confirmed that work with the V10 . I will include some video reviews as well.
MOD Edit: Referral links not allowed and have been removed

So do you need a new charger that supports fast charging, and any micro USB cable will do?
Does the charger that comes with the phone support fast charge?

yes, the charger that comes with the V10 is a quick charge and most micro USB cables (should) work with the quick chargers.

The Samsung adaptive quick charger from the S6/Note 5 seems to be working well. Just an FYI if anyone has one laying around.

Tronsmart said:
Not all of the micro usb cable will support quick charge. you need the cable which support charging and data sync together.
The quick charge 2.0 technology need to transfer/communicate the signal from the charger to the smartphone. some cheap micro usb cable which just have the charging function won't work on qc2.0 chargers.
also the 20awg cable help to transfer high current, see the explanation from wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge
here is a sample photos for our cable:

Yes I am trying to look back at where I got my cable now. This is the heavier duty, longer cable I use. It says in the description a few different things that makes me think it is compatible. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get the device in my hands.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCDZQA0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
Edit: I did find out that it does support quick charge, so I'm all good!
FYI I would reccommend this cable if you are looking for a longer cable that is heavy duty. I am sure most have used Anker products in the past, the quality is present in this product as well, I have had mine for close to a year with no issues.

I love Anker product, such high quality! The dual port car charger supplied 2 amps per port. The desk charger supplies 2amps per port over 5 ports and over the last year I've purchased 40+ usb cables in varying legnths. 10ft - 1ft. Connections are always snug and no wiggle on my phones. I keep giving these things away when a co worker needs a cable, they always notice that their device charges faster, especially if they no longer have the oem cable.

Quick Charge not compatible with charge-only cable
In order to prevent data theft I prefer to use a charge-only cable when plugging my phone into any port outside my home.
According to Qualcomm, Quick Charge 2.0 is designed to be connector-independent and is designed to minimize charging issues associated with long or thin cables, allowing for a superior charging experience, independent of cable type.
However, since the high-efficiency transfer of electricity requires the D+/D- data lines for effective handshaking and communication, it will not work with a charge-only cable.

I have to say the quick charge lg charger still takes twice as long as my note 4 edge to charge...

Other than stock cable, PNY cable works pretty well especially with Anker 8A intelligent charger.

I can say without a doubt charging with the Samsung quick charger from the S6/Note5 charges the V10 faster than the LG quick charger. Luckily I have several around the house.

I think that is due to the fact that the LG charges at 2.0 vs the Sammy.
I'll have to pick up an aftermarket charger on Amazon or something. Anyone recommend one that they use with a higher charging rate than the LG one?
Matt

something i found out bay accdent is it doesnt always fast charge. its not an option to turn it off but from what i can tell if your phone is to hot when pluged in it just does a normal charge. greatest thing ever
and i did try it on two chargers that have fast charge the one in the box and the note 4 charger but it didnt start the fast charge. once the phone was cool i actually unpluged to go somewhere came back ten minutes later pluged in and there it was fast chargeing.

In response to @clockcycle
It appears though it may charge faster than normal charging methods with screen on, that it almost quadrupled charging rate with screen off according to Ampere.
Take it for what it's worth, I am not sure how accurate it is, that second screenshot was taken just after turning the screen back on, where it proceeded to recalculate and then displayed around 700 again.

Awesome thanks for testing that, it seems to be just like the LG G4 but slightly higher (500 screen on, 2200 screen off). Ampere is a guestimate, but I use USB Doctor sleeves to verify. What charger did you use to test?
Edit: according to your screen shots, they were 2 mins apart, you went from 8% to 11%, gained 3%~

I want a QI compatible back cover. Rumours, news, releases?

I really like the back cover idea, even though I'm not sure I will be buying a battery back, at least not yet as they're waaay too expensive.
However, one enormous oversight from Lenovo/Moto is that the stock back cover doesn't have a QI receiver built in.
It's thick enough that a slim QI coil would fit comfortably, and not add any bulk from the "style mod"
It appears that the phone itself has the electronics required built in, so the thickness should not be affected.
(Based on the fact that there's a system service preinstalled about wireless charging)
I haven't been able to find anything on ebay or google, has anyone heard or seen something interesting?

Still no rumors but it's a bit early... anyway I'm pretty sure that a QI compatible cover and a slimmer battery pack (1000 mAh?) will be some of the first third parts MODs developed...

I'm assuming you are NOT looking for the Incipio battery with Qi Charger built in? I got one of those at best buy and love it, but there's no denying that it adds a bit of heft to the phone. Personally, I don't mind this at all and prefer a slightly thicker phone.

Well, for one that battery doesn't appear to get released in Sweden. The only back pack available is the non wireless at 120 something bucks. It's priced a little extreme imo..
(All things wireless charging are really hard to come by locally. Strange really since IKEA actually makes qi compatible furniture these days..)
And it really is a little on the thick side, although the fact that I can drop the backpack directly on a charger and still have my phone is genius.
A backpack with at most 1mm extra bulk from a style cover and some miniscule 1Ah battery built in would be cool though.
Should be possible, the ipad air has some really thin cells inside, I've used butchered ipad air batteries for several projects.
As a side note, the Chinese super premium brand Xiaomi is about to release a 2-way QC3.0 Type C power bank.
That could be a good middle ground for me.

How much bulk added? Like the JBL speaker bulk?
Can you post a picture what it looks like on your phone?

Yes, but please note that model in picture is without wireless charge option (MT-381-WHT).
Models with wireless charge are MT-382-WHT (white) and MT-382-BLK (black), even if they are identical from exterior ....
These days they are very hard to find and reserved by Motorola to few markets only...

After spending 25 minutes on the phone to Lenovo sales (rather than risk ordering the wrong one online) and having it double checked twice I'm waiting to return what they sent - just a moto mod charge pack not a wireless one as ordered.
After another three calls it turns out they are not in the UK yet.... unless you know differently??

Versions listed on amazon in europe have a different code from the above, but are all without wireless, so they are about MT-381-xxx with different coding...

And that was the 28th October... here we are the 12th November and they still haven't even authorised collection of the wrong item - never mind a credit And it's not for the want of trying... emails, repeated phone calls, general 'abuse' on Facebook
I hate Lenovo big style, never again!

I know this is a little off-topic but I have the Tumi wireless charging battery mod and for the life of my I can't seem to find a way to consistently charge the pack wirelessly. It would always recognize that it's on a wireless charger and start charging for a few seconds then disconnect then reconnect then disconnect...so on and so forth. Does anyone have the same issue or do I have a faulty unit?
Edit: Old Hardware: ChoeTech fast wireless charger (10w max output) + ChoeTech adaptive fast charger wall brick + Generic USB A to Micro USB (to power the wireless charger)
Originally I had my ChoeTech Fast wireless charger hooked up as shown above. The issue wasn't the Tumi, the wireless charger or the power brick. It was the generic cable I used to plug the brick into the wireless charging pad. I switched to a higher quality cable that I knew would work with the max output of the adaptive fast charging wall brick and all my issues went away! Hope that helps!

Hi, I got a question, can the battery bod be charged (on the wireless charger) if the phone is not connected to it?
That would be very handy.
Thanks! :good:
