JBL Powerup - Nexus 4 Accessories

Anyone have any experience with this? AT&T has it at $100 less than anyone else and I'm tempted to go pick one up.

Nice speaker, good Bluetooth range and NFC works well but will not charge my Nexus 4. Will be returning it, at this price everything should work as advertised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound in a medium sized package, April 17, 2013

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nokia MD-100W JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker for Nokia - Retail Packaging - White (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased this speaker/stereo for two reasons: 1 JBL is known for making great sounding products and 2 the wireless charging for Windows Phone. Both met/exceeded my expectations. Wireless charging also worked on a Nexus 4 phone, but was a bit more difficult to find the "sweet spot" for placing the device to get charged.
This is not exactly a portable device as it's a bit on the medium size instead of small. You might want to consider the JBL Play Up instead of you're looking for something portable.

Where to buy the original headset?

Hello,
My original Omnia 7 headset is broken and I'd like to know where I can buy the same original headset. Thanks.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=samsung+headset
Not very helpful
Lol, I've already searched online; I've searched ebay, amazon & google. All I ever find are earphones/headsets that are not the same as my original omnia 7's.
To be more specific about my problem: all I want is a pair of wired earphones whose music controls work with Windows Phone 7.
I don't think you checked very well, in the 1st and 2nd link on google you can find original earphones
Not the same
I typically see this earphone (http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=47859&c=632810) which is not the same as my Omnia 7's.
yeah, the one in pic is the same as my original but the part you put in ear is transparent in mines
if yours is different then put a picture because now i'm curious
You can find it on amazon.de => http://o-x.fr/wqpuj
Hello, I got the same problem and looking for THE original Samsung Omnia 7 Headset, its called "EHS60AVNBE". And thats the picture of it.
Any idea?

good thing i found this link. my ones died and ive only got my a-jays fours which i can confirm the remote barley works. only play/pause works. mic =fail and volume = fail. i need the official ones pronto.
what i have tested is the galaxy s2 headset. The mic works and only has one button. which is volume up on omnia 7.

thats the exact headset but ive got no idea on what im doing on the website. and whats the shipping cost etc. if anyone can help me out here i will gladly buy and test it out. also to note its from samsung if you check the amazon seller.
Naah, this headset is the right one, but the seller on the amazon site its the same as on ebay. Look at the "Impressum".

I ordered these Headset couple days ago and got them today. But its the wrong headset, its the standard one with only one!! button.
are you sure its the same seller from amazon cause the seller on my amazon link is "samsung" that much i know.
http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-3-5mm-hands-free-stereo-headset-ehs60avnbe.html
also check out this link as it has the correct ones. doesn't say "for" or "genuine for" it says the model no. etc. i might email and then gamble on these.
I've just ordered the same headset from ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Samsu...ccessories&hash=item1c232721e4#ht_2199wt_1010). I'll let you guys know how it performs.
Had the same problem - called Samsung and they replaced mine free under warranty. Apparently they have a year's warranty on them, the phone is 2 years (in the UK at least).
Hope this helps.
I tried it: No replacement under warranty in Germany...
and still I have no working headphone with my omnia (Controls+Mic).
I bought 3 pairs from eBay - all were rubbish and returned them back.
ended up buying a pair at a local operator store.

Anyone else annoyed about the lack of included wireless charging?

I'd probably never use it, but to sell a $40 nickel and dime add on for something that would probably cost less than $2 in material costs on a $900 phone kind of rubs me the wrong way.
Ok. I'll move on.

I am with you... I actually considered not getting the edge and that was a big reason. I guess I'll just divert money away from holiday gifts so I can buy the additional kit. Smh
I am with you on this, Really have a hard time calling this a flagship phone with this kind of nickel and dime stuff!
On top of that they don't even make it available until who knows when.
I noticed the note 4 and the edge have similar back/batteries. I would if a note 4 qi receiver would work on the Edge?

That's what I was wondering -
I saw this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/351204499918?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649) and thought that if the internals are the same then it might also be used - at significantly less cost than the official version.
Can anyone take a photo of the Note Edge with the back cover removed for comparison?
If no one else does, I will get a picture this afternoon when mine comes in....
Disregard my earlier request - found pics online.
Appears the short answer is no.
EDGE: http://assets.hardwarezone.com/img/2014/09/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_Edge_Rear_Removed.jpg
NOTE4: http://assets.hardwarezone.com/img/2014/10/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_4_Review_Back.jpg
eBay - Note4 receiver:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/351204499918?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Looks like the top row of connectors are vertically oriented on the Note4 but horizontal on the Note Edge.
The "L" shape for the connectors to the side of the battery are an "L" shape for the edge and reversed for the Note4 "_|"
Furthermore, the spacing from the battery looks a little different.
Depending on the actual charging receiver maybe one could bend it around to suit but it's not something I'd be keen to do personally.
As an aside, looking at the official wireless receiver/back - is the coil just under the metal plate or does it have a larger, hidden surface area? Some Qi hacks I've seen put the coil at the bottom of the phone - which makes it look like you need to carefully position your phone on the plate for the charge to kick in. (i.e. Hanging off the side of the plate so the charger / receiver are aligned)
Maybe there'll be a low cost alternative like the Note4 receiver (eBay link) in a few weeks. Until then, I guess I'm fine with charging via MicroUSB.
Give it a few more days. There will be one soon. LoL

Check this link out. Just ordered one and when it arrives I will update further. Just could not do without wireless after having it on my Note 3 for so long!

Ouch. $19 shipping? I sent packages out next day air for less than that.
I have never seen a phone include a wireless charger before. I doubt it will be something that phones will come with, unless you cant remove the battery back.
It would just up the cost of the device more and a ton of people dont even know you can charge wiresless with a kitl

Yea same thing.
You can add a wireless back to change it wireless.

$60 for this? No, I'll wait to be released in US on Samsung and use their 50% off on accessaries received after registering product

It isn't the same thing, but ok.
I'm not a big fan of the current wireless charging technologies. Anything that makes a device warm or hot from lost energy is not an ideal solution. I'll stay old-school and plug in.

Any new updates ?
hopefully the next galaxy series will include built in wireless charging and they will continue the concept in all future flagships. i think the nexus 6 came with it already built in didn't it? i don't understand why samsung can't put it on there instead of making you buy extra battery covers

In answer to the subject question: No.

"The first ever external battery charger with USB-C/Type-C."

Sooooo, RAVPower just released a device to Amazon US and Amazon UK. Annoyingly, I still can't post links here, but search for the phrase "The first ever external battery charger with USB-C/Type-C" and you'll find it (perhaps someone could add links below?)
It's a bit of a monster both in terms of weight and capacity, so I don't see it being a daily driver, but I've asked whether they have anything smaller on the way. I hope to hear back from them soon and I'll update below.
It's pricey too, at $60 / £40. So, there's that.
But, hey - an external battery with 5V/3A USB Type-C in and out. We're finally getting there, folks! :highfive:
Just post the ASIN number from the Amazon page, a search for that will only go to the proper page.

I wonder if the price will increase beyond $60 because I'm sure there will be more options in the coming weeks. I'll need one for travel, but not sure if it was worth the cost.

They told me these are not promotional prices because they're still in the get-the-reviews-in phase. I image they'll drop another 30-40% quite soon. Personally, I'm hoping for a smaller device, but RAVpower are a nice brand so hopefully they'll deliver.

Yea, I figure I'll need one now that my new role requires 25% travel. Just not in the next two months though so I can wait.
I might pick one of these up next week as my OG Anker is not going to charge the 6P in a timely manner.
I just wish Anker would at least show the tech specs of their upcoming battery packs. I want to know the size, weight, etc. and expected price.
Just show me that so I can decide if I should wait
Rats. This from RAVpower:
"If the 20100 mAh power bank can open the Market of the USB Type-C, we will definitely consider to extend other models with various capacity. Hope you can understand."
It seems a very odd product to lead off with, but hey ho.
Eh I went ahead and ordered one! It'll be in on monday so I'll report back then
I picked up an external battery charger that has a type c USB in it... Its a 10400 mAh pack and the device itself says it outputs 5v/3a but unfortunately I can't test the claim until I receive my 6p. The battery pack is from a company called talentcell...

This is certainly bigger than my current power bank...a tiny 3000mAh pack. But what I liked about mine was it has a built-in microUSB connector, so I didnt have to carry around a separate cable just to use it.
Just bought one of the ravpower power banks from Amazon. If you go to Ravpower's website, you can get emailed a discount code to use on your Amazon purchase. Brought my checkout price to around $35. Hope this helps
$35?!?!?
Damn I got mine for $48 and thought I was lucky...
bought one at 80$.... Hate the canadian dollars right now -_-
I still might pick this up even though it's an expensive £40 here.

[Q] N5 replacement battery feedback?

Has anyone specifically tried the replacement N5 battery from etradesupply? It's the only one I can see that even looks anything like OEM. All the rest are clearly knockoffs.
There's another thread about replacement battery vendors, but most of those on eBay are sold out, and the remaining one is pretty sketchy. The Amazon batteries all have substantially negative feedback, too.
I just can't see throwing away a perfectly good phone simply because it needs a new battery.
Etradesupply nexus 5 batteries are fake. I got 2 of them and they are fake so I got full refund plus shipping from PayPal and still kept batteries but have not install them.

This is OEM LG battery supplier in US, bit expensive by original.
This is the one I just installed: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=AUJEVHB99RGQ
It seems to be tracking the battery temperature too. So far so good!

Are you sure that is the correct battery? It is expensive, but I'll pay it if it's OEM and not some ripoff.

Where to buy Accessories?

Hello guys,
I'm thinking of buying the phone, it seems to be a good deal. but little worried about overall support.
also could not find any accessories like screen protectors or cases or skins.
Are there anything made for this phone yet?
Also is it possible to use case and screen protectors made for other phones (similar size/design).
Please share your experience.
Thanks.
Hi,
i had the phone for more than 2 months now, and my experience with it is so good so far and i'm happy with it, for me mainly is for quick updates
i receive security updates monthly, and android n will be received on time i hope
battery is good (almost 4 hours of screen on)
screen is good
sound is loud
headphones are perfect (same shape and i think same as LG V10)
charging is fast
usb-c converter is included, which make it easier since usb-c is not spread well yet
camera is good for me, probably not for pros
flash with selfie camera is nice
texture is nice and the shape overall is good
there are some little hiccups in the system every now and then
the only problem i couldn't find explanation for yet, is when i play heavy games (asphalt 8 or so) wifi stop seeing the network, so i play it on 3g. this is the only problem for me
processor is medium for gaming
other than that, if you're buying it for anything else (except gaming and camera) it's the best you can find for its price
overall review is 9/10
one problem my friend had with his phone, that the charge stops at 50%, the problem is not solved yet
don't know yet about service centers
for accessories there are a good number of different accessories for the mobilbe, at least through internet
Hello! I have the phone for one month now and I buy accessories at AliExpress. You can find decent prices for decent quality.
GM 5 plus accessories
what about buying original accessories? i bought several different c-type cables and chargers and none of them charged phone properly! charging taking too long and the battery runs off fast. with the original everything is opposite, fast charge and goes off slowly..but the problem is that you can't reach and buy the original accessories over the internet..only in the stores by going there, and a year has past that I have this phone and still nothing happened about this..great phone except the accessories reaching..
can you link me some cases, plz ?
