I was searching through amazon today and found this qi charger that is exactly the same as the Metrans wireless charging puck found here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Metrans...LG-Nexus-4-E960-NOKIA-Lumia-920-/230947777125
I looked through the video and photos and they both say air box on the bottom. They are exactly the same in terms of design and quality even though this is listed as GMYLE for some reason. Its almost $20 cheaper. Here is the link on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Pr...e=UTF8&qid=1369339242&sr=8-1&keywords=metrans.
When I bought it there was 7 left, now there are only 6 left. Its $37.49 + $4.49 shipping was is a great deal instead of buying a cheap plastic, generic one.
only difference I notice is the status led. the metrans is white. I've never seen it green or red during charging.

I'm debating on whether or not to buy it. I've read the thread and the review from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153418 and I think it's awesome but have always shied away because of the price + availability in the USA. I don't have any excuse now... so I might buy it. I love the auto-off feature when it gets hot but at the same I feel like the phone staying at high temperature for an extended period of time while it charges may not be great for the long term.
EDIT: Did some research on GMYLE and found their official website with the Metrans MWT02 product listing here: http://www.gmyle.com/collections/ba...cy-charger-with-1000ma-current-output-us-plug
Their website looks pretty cool.. of coarse that doesn't mean that their selling original products but it's more likely that they are.
EDIT 2: I noticed on their website it says that Input:
DC 5V / 1.2A
Output: 5V / 1A
while the eBay and the review from the thread listed above states that it should be
Input 5V / 2A
Output: 5V / 1A
OK EDIT 3: So I tried to email them from the address on their website which says [email protected]. But when I look at the mailto it says [email protected] lol. I don't know why it says Clever Gadgets UK when the company is located in California. I don't know how much I trust this retailer.
Well if you have access to ordering from Verizon in the US I would suggest getting the LG WCP-300 instead since with tax and free shipping it came to $42. The Amazon price is currently at $45.49+$4.49 shipping. I love the LG haven't dealt with the metrans one yet though.

It's supposed to be really nice with this auto off feature when the phone reached 40 degrees Celsius. That's one of the selling points for me. Also, it's a little more expensive now. Used to be 38.

I bought the Amazon one from GMYLE even after all the research I did. I'll let you know how that one goes. The only reason I decided to get Amazon over ahappydeal is because at least I can trust Amazon to back me up in the event that they send me a fake.
I'll post in the thread when I get it/test it.
Ok guys, I got my charger from the Amazon listing. It's legit, no mix-ups and knockoffs here. It's the same box and packaging from the eBay listing (Air Box) and also shows a picture of the Nexus 4 on the side of the box. It's got this super cool pulsating white light when the phone is charging (not the green/red that the Amazon photo depicts) which is awesome. Like the Macbook Pro light if you have ever seen them. You can see the light in the second picture as well.
It works as advertised, charges when you place it on it. I'm still experimenting with it but I think it looks a lot cooler than the LG one. I'm still experimenting with the temperature, it's at 41 degrees celsius right now (It's like almost 100 degrees ferinheight where I'm at right now (no AC just ceiling fan) so that may have a little to do with the temperature.
Would also like to note that the Amazon listing has the incorrect amp on the power supply. It's actually 2A (like it's supposed to be). Picture included below.

It's not about the price for me. I feel like this is a more premium looking, overall better charger. That's just me though.

I'm curious, do you feel comfortable charging the phone overnight even though it gets super hot? Have you noticed anything odd going on with the battery ever since you started charging over night? I don't use the charger that much because it gets way too hot for it to be good for the phone.
It is a bit hot but nothing odd going on...it stops charging once it hits 100...it then cools down a little bit...then when it goes lower again it just pulse charges

You say that you feel the Metrans "is a more premium looking, overall better charger" but you "don't use the charger that much because it gets way too hot for it to be good for the phone"
Are you saying that you think looks are more important than functionality? Or are you referring to a different charger in the second post?

I'm thining about ordering some generic 1800 batteries for the touch 4g 2 which I'm told will fit the epic. Ebay has 3 and a charger for 11 bucks including shipping. My concern is I have heard one possible reason for random reboots are non oem batteries putting out unsteady current. I have only generic ones right now. Who's had good luck vrs bad with these types of batteries

Wait so you already have some?? Shouldn't your experience tell you all you need to know?? Unless you meant that you only have the generic 1500mAh battery.
I know the Anker 1800mAh is supposed to be pretty good but since I've gone with the 3500mAh fatt batts....NOTHING else compares, not even the OEM 1800mAh
You found a 3500 that fits??
I have some genric 1500's right now at I get random shut downs though I think that is gb related.
I found on ebay 3 1800's and a wall charger for 11 bucks out of hong kong. Free shipping.. sounds worth the experiment

Yeah, I use the one's with the extended back cover, nothing compares to their value or battery life.
I'd be interested in seeing how the generic 1800s do though, I have one 1500 generic and it's never given me random restarts but it was a little weaker than my original OEM. I'd say go for the bundle if your interested, you'll easily get your $11 worth.
I just can't go back to slim batteries anymore myself

It makes it thicker but it feels nice when you're using the keyboard IMHO, you get used to it.

I got "OEMs" for my Epic and my wife's Evo that I doubt are really OEM, though they say so. Life seems less than our many-times-cycled original equipment. I got mine RIGHT before I read the 1800mah thread, so I have multiple reasons to be po'd at myself.
I have the 1800 batteries and found I only got around 2 more hours from them. The trade off for 2 extra hours were not worth extra thick phone.

How about these generic batteries?
Hello XDA, big fan behind the scene so I am coming out.
Found these Epic 4g Touch batteries and want to see what you great experts thought about them before buying them.
Just wanted to know if this will fit my Sprint Epic 4g SPH-D700 phone with stock back side plate.

sorry I can't post link cuz I am a newber...=(
They are generic 1800mAh that I have also seen on ebay.
Looks like a great deal to get 3X 1800mAh Batteries plus a charger for less than the price of a Samsung OEM 1800mAh battery.
Thanks for your input...=)

I just got 2 of these and a universal battery charger for about $20 w/ Amazon Prime shipping =).
Took pics of my first charge cycle. Let's see if this works...
That's almost 3 hours of screen time, 40 minutes of talking, 10 hours total. They do seem better compared to my OEM Samsung 1500mah. And they're cheap, to boot!

I was thinking of picking up this Anker or the cheap Chinese knockoff I saw on Ebay.
Any opinions based on experience with any of these "power banks"?

Personally, If I forget to charge the phone I've forgotten to charge the backup battery as well. You've also got the added bonus of always having to carry a usb cable around with you!
I don't know if I'd place much trust in the chinese knockoff but I guess its always hit or miss.
I bought a usb charging wrist strap on thinkgeek mostly cause its versatility seemed neat, connectors for all sorts of devices. I sadly was using a blackberry at the time but it charged it perfectly fine, the shift and photon don't charge with it for long, like 1-2 percent and then act like its disconnected. I haven't tried with the phones off, it may possibly work fine if the phone is powered off.

I was looking at the same battery pack. I might jump on it. If you get the next level up as well you get $10 off on amazon. (This only is in consideration for me since my friend needs one too...) So $75 for both the 5600mah model and 8400mah.
I never really forget to charge my phone...it just runs out. My Epic was not the best...I always kept a spare battery around and I'd need it even on normal days. So I guess I have to get an external one like this. I guess it's more versatile in the end.
Oh right and as for the knockoff, I'm usually all for trying them but this one doesn't seem cheaper enough for me to get it. Since I'd just be carrying it around a lot for emergencies (or, long days) I'd want something I think I can trust to hold a charge for maybe a month without me checking on it.
duracell powersource mini
i have the Duracell powersource mini it does it job, it will fully charge the photon q from 20 to about 90% but that is also with the phone on, so it is still using the battery while it is charging also, and i like it, if you check around at some of the truck stops, they will have them, i got 5 for 7 dollars each
I have the RAVPower and it really saved me at Comic-Con. Fully charged my XT910 MAXX twice and had a bit left over!

Just to play devil's advocate in fairness to 903, you didn't provide a link to said official site and the information you referenced yourself either, and even with the qualifiers, the all-caps 'FAIL' descriptor could also be interpreted as a bit aggressive from the start. You could have instead simply said 'If this is true, then it appears to me that the Anker is a better/superior solution' or something along those lines.
Not trying to help facilitate an argument here by any means, just saying there's 2 ways of looking at either post, and regardless, there's no real need for anyone to get their feathers ruffled IMO.

Logic doesn't always apply when talking about people. Was a simple misunderstanding, no point in continuing past that.
Some of these posts make me laugh......
Regardless, the Tylt that was introduced by 903tex is a BRICK compared to the Anker.
The comparable sized Tylt to the Anker is obviously the one I was talking about and I provided the link below.
The Tylt with similar exterior dimension to the Anker is 1500 mah and is a fraction of the 5600mah provided by the similarly sized Anker.
So, the Tylt IS a FAIL.
http://www.tylt.com/zumo/index.html
Best Buy has a version of the Anker called a "AGPtek" on their website.
But, it appears to be sold by a 3rd party on Best Buy's website.
Can anyone explain this?

I ordered the Anker from Amazon and I'm happy with it.
It easily fits in my front pocket with my wallet and keys and it charges the Moto Q in about the same time as a wall charger.
I just place the Anker on a desk/table/bar and and lean the Moto Q on it while it's charging like a prop stand. Pretty inconspicuous and convenient.

I guess i got lucky. Last year i saw one on slickdeals by P/A tech (some knockoff) but its 11000mAh and has a 1A and a 2A charge port. I can charge my phone in like 2 hours on the 2A port and get 4-5 charges out of the battery pack. Best part is, on the deal it was like $25. If you have the patients, watch those sites. A lot of stuff that comes up is junk but every once in a while you find gold.

So I just bought 3. If I bought 2, they wanted $3.95 for shipping and something like $3.72 for tax. If buying 3, then both are $0.00.
I don't understand why though...
Only for US?
Anyone have experience with this one? I didn't see that many reviews on my initial look

Thanks for this, ended up getting two!
got 2 + some rubber for 1.25 so i can qualify for free shipping =D
time to return the LG charger I got last week for 50 dollars. WCP-300
Does not come with the wall charger, and according to Samsung, needs a 2a charger.
Will this work on nex4?

Do keep in mind that the output is like 650mA compared to 1A you get with some other inductive chargers. So charging will be really slow with this

You can get a 2 amp charger at vizio.com for $10 w/free shipping. They are are selling off the chargers they made for the 8" tablet they quit making.
Edited to add: by the time you buy this charger AND a power supply, you might as well get the WCP-300 from Verizon, 39.95 w/free shipping, and some of their stores have them for the same price.

Yes, it's a qi charger from a major manufacturer, so I'm sure it'll work fine.
I'm wondering how the charging time will stack-up compared to the WCP-300. I use the wcp-300 for my nexus 4 in the car, but I'd like another to use in the house or office.

not true my LG WCP-300 charger charges at 650-700 max and i even changed the 1A power brick to a 2 A. I have yet to see it charge at 1000mA. Makes my Nexus 4 incredibly hot too.
I have this and my nexus 4 charges great. Gets to 100% and then stops charging til around 95 then tops off again.

There's a thread on this charger (with a review on post #52). It's called the Metrans MWT03

Hi,
Could you please tell me, how long does it take to charge Nexus 4 from zero to full?
I want to figure out the maximum current it draws from the pad. It said to be limited to 650mA, but I believe, it is in case of S4.
Qi standard states, that any certified charger should be able to deliver 5W, which makes 1A at 5V, so Nexus 4 should probably use higher power, since according to its Service Manual, the wireless charging current is limited to 789mA.
Thanks.

How about WaveJuice in indiegogo, the qi wireless charger with 8000mah Li-Po battery.

Looks promising, but man is that video weird! Plus November is too long a time. There are already products like that (albeit with a capacity of 4000-5000mah).

Found another one while surfing ebay. Appears to be a knock-off of the LG but i dont think its the Metrans one. $21 with shipping. Looks like it comes with a USB cable but not with the power adapter.
EDIT: wow, these keep dropping in price. Now $18: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30096427953...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=300964279534&_rdc=1
EDIT2: I think I tracked down the manufacturer in anyone is interested. They are made by "Okeler". Heres the manufacturers specs: http://okeler.manufacturer.globalso...eless-charger/1070382353/Wireless-Charger.htm

I bought one (white + orange) and have been using it over the past week
Looks great, feels solid and well made, and comes in proper retail packaging! You are correct, it doesn't come with a power adapter, just two micro USB leads (one long and one short) to use with your own. I'm using a 2.1A supply and it charges the phone from empty in about the same time as AC charging (2.5 hours). LED on the front is green when powered up and goes blue when a phone is placed on it for charging. Putting the Nexus 4 on charge is easy as it doesn't seem to be that fussy about placement, just plonk it down just off centre (towards the lower half where I'm guessing the phones receiver must be). The pad is not much wider than the phone itself so there's very little room to get it wrong!
The coloured ring around the top not only looks good, but its made of a tacky rubbery material, so the Nexus 4 doesn't slide about once you place it down (this is the reason I chose to go for this over the LG charger)
So far, no complaints at all! I didn't see the point of wireless charging before using it, I just bought it to have a play and to see how the tech works but I'm now a convert - I've been that impressed by this charger I've just ordered another :good:
Now only $9.15 (including shipping). look forward to some reviews.
edit. my mistake, $9.15 was the price for the receiver only (for those that need one).
It was 9.15 USD initially but turned 22.97 USD immediately after I click None at the receiver type box.
i just bought one hope it works well

can you grab the app "currentwidget" and see what the live charging rate is? I have the WCP-300, as well as the orb, and they charge at around 575-600mA using a 1.8A stock power adapter.

do you happen to have a tablet, maybe nexus 7? can you try?
They mention this is a 2nd generation qi charger.. might just be marketing bull****. They mention it has a built in temperature sensor and will react when your phone gets too hot. I just ordered one in black with a green ring(for android), we'll see how it does
Anyone know if this will fit in the LG smart fit2 cradle? They seem to be a similar size.

Seems to be pretty much the same, I'm seeing 600-650mA mostly.

Actually on looking through the currentwidget logs, with the screen off it seems to charge at a much higher rate, 750-770mA.

Found the dimensions in this auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item5d4360ee3c

Which according to google they are the exact same diameter, and the ebay one is slightly thinner. (.385" vs 05")
cheap, looks nice, good reviews --- just ordered two
Does anyone who has bought this have a charging current log for it?
Also, after it finishes charging, and starts to discharge, does it start charging again to keep it topped up while on the charger?
Thanks!
I ordered one on eBay. I think i found is name on dx.com. it The mikasso T-200

I like it, but it's not like I need it.
I just ordered one. Will the phone still charge if I switch it off?
And what am I meant to use as the power supply, the charger that comes with the N4?

Still 6 days left on this one. Approximately 15 euro's. Bought one for myself and one for a friend. They contain 4 battery cells each holding 2600mAh * 4 = is of course 10400mAh.

Check your charger
its maybe fake
i bought one from aliexpress 20 $
dissasseble the charger
if 4 batteries are gray colored orginal
others fake like pink purple blue
I got mine in aliexpress and it was a fake. The packaging must have a XIAOMI original seal. Plus, check if you can charge the battery at the same time you use it to charge a device. If you can only do one of both, it's a fake and might damage your device or catch fire. I asked for a refund.

Thanks everyone for your reviews - they coincided with my NewTrent 5000mAh battery pack expiring, so I went and bought one from geekbuying.com
I was looking to avoid cheap copies, hopefully I have done so. It's a bit more expensive than the €15 quoted in the original post, it cost me €19.50 with free postage from the States.
It'll take a while to arrive I guess - I'm not holding my breath - I'll post my findings once it arrives.

This is the one: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/product-325638/
I bought one from link in first post for 20.99$+shipping: http://www.chinabuye.com/xiaomi-por...-m2-m2s-m3-red-rice-apple-and-android-devices.
It didn't came in plastic case but instead it came in white cardboard box, which can be seen in link above.
Still didn't open it to see which batteries are inside, but it's working ok so far. Charged phone few times and charged it 2 times. So far nothing is fried And, as GFXi0N suggested above, pass-through is working in my unit.
Also, based on images floating on the web, look of bank and cable looks like its real: http://en.miui.com/thread-19104-1-1.html
Just received mine, it took just 9 days (free postage) to reach Spain from geekbuying.com
Original packaging, as per the photos in the first thread. It took me about 5 minutes of struggling to get inside the clear plastic case, each end has a near-invisible piece of tape, in the shape of the case end!
I'm used to a 5000mAh pack, so this is bulky and heavy in comparison, but the additional weight and bulk is mathematical, can't do anything about that. Instructions in perfect Chinese. The on button switches on, and it will switch off after a few minutes of inactivity (I can confirm this) or if the maximum voltage is reached on the phone.
It charges while being charged, so that´s a good sign.
this is really a great quick way to charge your phone. I have the smaller battery pack and it does help in case of emergency. Got mine from: www.antelife.com.The 5200mAh was only $16 with free delivery. It is an original xiaomi product as well. I think they do the 10000 mAh for about $25

No, Electrical appliances draw the current they need up, to the maximum the charger supplies. So the N4 will draw approx 1Ah, whereas eg a tablet would need more than 2A, but would draw 2A
Ordered a few days ago the Xiaomi 10.400 in blue color from Geekbuying.
I know that they are selling the original one.
I hope that it will be small enough though to carry it inside small bags.

Is Geekbuying reliable for US shipping?
Ok, bought one from xiaomishop a month and a half ago. Opened a PayPal dispute some days ago because it still did not arrive. I live in Spain, not in Antarctica, for God's sake..... They keep claiming the tracking page states the package left Philippines a month ago or so..... So, what? The point is I don't have it after a considerable amount of time.... Let's see how all this ends
