Anybody ever shop on this website? I seen no reviews but an old eBay page that is currently closed and a good BBB record.
Should I buy it? Any advice
I'm curious too...
number 9 on the bullet point says

okay..so I should not buy this, correct?
If the business is BBB credited I'm pretty sure this isn't a scam site. but I don't know because they do have a few negative reviews on there.
I think I just may take the dive..maybe after I'll do a review who knows.
Don't waste your money over something that you're not really sure off. Just my 2 cents

um, BBB is not useful
they basically accept money from businesses, and businesses put their label on their website. BBB doesn't do much other than that
Any site that still thinks there is a difference between the 32GB and 16GB battery is misinformed and I would not buy anything from them. That was a false rumor going around about the Nexus 5 having 2 battery sizes.
The website is also outdated/amateurish looking and not the type of place I would input any credentials into.
There's a post within a "3000mAh" thread somewhere in the general section that mentions how to get a 3000mAh battery into the Nexus 5 - I'm pretty sure it involved a LG G2 battery and de-soldering the N5's battery pcb and resoldering it to the G2 battery.

Why not just buy battery case? Its a case with battery built in. Internal battery plus the battery case will go way over 4500mah.
I saw one for about $50 on amazon.
only con is that adds little thickness but I think its better approach over risk breaking trying open up the phone.

I need an extra samsung oem 1650mah battery. Does anyone know where it can be bought in america?
i take it you checked google/ebay/amazon? i know there was another thread dedicated to this topic a while back. try to search for it.
It seems like all sellers are in europe which seems strange for an american phone
strange for an "american phone" made by a korean company?
Uh I didn't have to buy the phone in korea. As far as I know they don't sell t-mobile branded phones in korea.

i dont get why your so upset at the fact you cant just walk in a store and get a battery for a specific phone. i work in a place that sells phones, batteries and accessories. if we carried every battery made for every phone it would fill the store two times over. just order the battery.

This phone shares the exact same dimensions as a few other phones in the samsung line up and there are multiple capacities available that are all the exact same size battery (for instance, the Vibrant has a 1500mAh battery compared to the SGS4G's 1650mAh battery even though both batteries are exactly the same size) . So Im sure being that other SGS4G/Vibrant variants being sold elsewhere in the world, this is why you can find batteries in many different places around the world.
My local Tmobile store has them (Fort Worth TX)
It also seems amazon has them as well.
local store
lol, my local store in Plano Texas tried to sell me the vibrant battery kit....i had to ask the guy to read the mAh until he figured out he was wrong.
i don't care that they don't have them at the store, but jeez....at least know what you are selling!

What is the BEST battery for this phone?
I just got the Galaxy S 4G (used), and it came with the original 2011 battery. It seemed to be "OK", but I wanted something better. I wanted something newer.
I purchased an "authentic" Samsung 1650 battery off eBay for $13. It has a 2013 manufacture date.
Well, I got it, and immediately felt something was "off". The font & spacing were slightly different than my old battery, and it had a "cheaper" feel to it, and its label wasn't even on the battery correctly. It looks like a typical counterfeit battery.
I pop it in my phone, and it seems to run out a lot quicker than my old battery. I've 0% to 100% cycled it a few times, and it still seems weak.
So, I could try to get another "authentic" Samsung that probably is a fake, or I can embrace the "after-market" batteries and go for an *extended* one.
I've seen 1750 mAh and 1900 mAh batteries. Are those any good? Do they at least last longer than a Samsung 1650 mAh battery?
This what I bought..they work great.
No problems at all and you get 2
plus a charger just for the battery's.

Deffo at a lower price, everything over here is way more expensive compared to the US, even the cheapest off-contract Nexus 4 costs 700 dollars.

You're going to buy 2 at $114/piece? $228 to charge your phone? I bought a 6 foot $1 USB cable from monoprice that charges my phone at my workdesk (laptop charges phone) and I just use the regular charger at home.

I've read that some Swedish online shops marked them as available starting in February for 75€. I'd post the link but its not in English, so...
i am really curious. I want to have this orb or any other nice qi-charging, but everything i found isn´t what i am looking for.
i do not know if it makes sense at the moment to worry about the price. It hasn´t been relaesed yet and so the final price isn´t known.
everything I know, is that it is a nice-to-have, but not a must-have, so I will not pay any price.
One thing, I am wondering is: why the hell do they start in norway and switzerland? I mean, I deign them to have it ... but this seems to be unusal ...
Hope this comes to the UK soon, and at a reasonable price as well. Should surely be less than a quarter of the phone's price. It's only a charger!
First Impressions...
1. It's very light. For such a big device it feels so light in the hand.
2. The battery life is VERY STRONG.
3. I'm surprised how fast the battery charge just using the regular USB 2.0.
4. It's very clean and sexy.
5. There is ALOT of bloatware. I'd say half is useful and half isn't.
Overall, VERY HAPPY with my decision.

Nexus 5, and it's not close.
I was in the same dilemma.
I decided to go for the Nexus 5 because its a Nexus.
The main difference in hardware between the two for me is the screen size. I wanted the bigger screen on the G2.
But I decided I want to pay less and get a device with better software

The nexus is pure stock android which is fully stable .
On benchmarks it benches better than the G2 and is much cheaper.
If you love stock android then the Nexus 5 is the greatest phone you can currently get.
Tip:
Also don't try to use the term CFW (Custom Firmware), people on xda won't usually know it, use the word ROM (Read Only Memory).
I find this is actually funny because we have root in them and we can make everything read-write

Google never allows sd cards in the nexus devices. They never will. They say they are too slow for a top end type device.

The G2 has the screen size, battery and camera advantages which is not something to overlook, if they were closely priced I'd go for the G2. Now if you can get some dough off due to contract extension and plan to stay with your carrier, the G2 can still be an attractive offer. Overall though, buying both unlocked and the Nexus 5 is just so awesomely priced. So it's a matter of looking at your options.

That is what I got. I have a 64gb card in my sgs3, so it will be hard, but the thing that makes it worth it, is how easy it is to dev/hack.
Haha, i was on the same boat. I love the G2 Screen and the lack of bezel. Overall the decision came down to software and speed. I always go with a custom ROM cause i like stock, (yes u can do this on the g2) but the fact that i will be getting the latest and greatest updates first is a huge + for me. Thus why i decided on the Nexus.
I say go Nexus!.
Nexus is looking like a go especially with 4g and unlimited data on T-Mobile sounds pretty good to me so far

How you can be a recognized contributor and come out with such a poor statement is quite scary...
Anyway it is VERY close.
The G2 has a bigger screen, yet only a fraction larger. (~1mm all around). And weigh's in negligible over the N5 yet has a 3000mah battery instead of 2300. Then it has a 13mp camera with the same tech as the 8mp Nexus 5.
The Nexus 5 wins in price (for most, some countries not so much), Software Support (I won't say software because the LG Software is actually pretty smooth on the G2 and the feature set isn't bad, but of course not KiKat, yet).
They share the same CPU/GPU/Ram. The Nexus 5 will likely be quicker due to KitKat/AOSP, but it will only be a matter of weeks and the G2 will have that also so if having it first is important to you, then again N5.
They also share the same radios/spectrums/etc.. so N5 is unlocked vs LG G2 probably/possibly being locked to one carrier. Important factor for some.
Clearly I don't think one is a "winner", I have the G2, and I pre-ordered the N5. I want to check out KitKat and see how it performs/battery life with only 2300mah but KitKat optimized. I plan to pick the winner (for me) once I have them side by side for a while.
Either way, they are most CERTAINLY close. The question is (in most markets) is ~$150-200 worth a bigger screen/battery/camera and the loss of immediate updates/better rom development. In that case, for most, the answer seems to be no.

Precisely why it's not close. Price and software development.
While the G2 will likely have developers to create some AOSP goodness for it, the lifespan of Nexus devices is always considerably longer than others. AOSP never runs as smoothly, with little bugs, as it does on actual Google devices.
If you're looking at the hardware, with respect to no other factors, then it is close. Otherwise, no.

Absolutely, if your only importance is ROM's and having the latest software first, or the longest amount of support for updates, then it is not close.
Price is personal. I have absolutely no problem spending the extra $150 if it means better battery life. The G2 is a battery monster, so I expect to be disappointed by the N5, but I absolutely hope I am wrong. Also in some countries the price is almost negligible. Plus if you have an upgrade and stick with the same carrier anyway, you can have the G2 for $150-200 vs $440 (32gb vs 32gb), so that is another factor. A lot goes in to play for this. Just simply saying it is cheaper is not enough.
When comparing ALL factors though, I stand by my previous statements. Personally I wouldn't let development allow me to be hooked to only owning a Nexus but that is absolutely the key factor for some people, I get that. Battery life is a huge importance to me and until I can see how it lasts with my own eyes I take the specs with a truckload of salt. With a 30% less battery size on the same hardware KitKat is going to have to do some pretty superb savings to keep it close.

If you looked at hardware specs only and no other factors, it is NOT close. The G2 wins hands down if you take out software and price, but that would be just plain silly.
In case anyone misinterprets my statements, I am not saying I think one is better than the other. I think both have their +'s and personally I don't find either a clear winner. That is all.
While I'm still going with the N5 for the rom support, Sprint is selling the N5 for $149 and the G2 for $99 (both with 2 year contracts), so the G2 actually wins the price debate.
Edit: whoops had too many tabs open and got this thread confused with one that was just for Sprint. Still, I imagine TMo will sell the G2 for either the same price or less than the N5 to stay competitive.
If usbOTG is present in the N5 then you can simply attach a microsd card to a microsd to USB to the usbOTG adapter (too many adapters) or simply a flashdrive. While it may be a pain to carry around it will at least extend the capacity.

Well if that were the only factor that is a pretty harsh bargain for sure but 700mah in this case IS 30% larger. That is not small. You also get 13mp vs 8 and .2" bigger screen. Again not that I think it is a winning decision either, tough call and personal preference. I just think it is worth more consideration than people are giving.

i feel the same way about people here complaining about no sd slot. this is just not the place to voice that opinion, it will not bring them any sympathy. this is not a consumer forum

haha too funny, I agree 100%. SD and Removable battery mean 0 to me, always have.
But yeah I get it :good:
The battery on my Nexus 4 no longer holds a charge very well. Neither LG or Google directly sell replacement batteries from what I gather. Does anyone know a reputable source to purchase an OEM replacement battery? I'm considering this seller on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-BL-T5-BL..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2a386ff701
but you just never really know what's legitimate these days. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also,
Does anyone know where I can find an OEM Nexus 4 USB cable? I know any micro usb would suffice but I happen to like the aesthetic design of that cable.

LG service centers do provide battery replacements for a cost. I got mine replaced a couple of months back for around $22.
i just bought a replacement battery a couple of weeks ago. got it yesterday and it works fine, but be careful with ribbon cable it snaps easily
paid $19 on ebay for it
I got a legit battery from this guy for my brother's nexus 4. After a battery cycle so far no issues. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-LG-...ptimus-G-Google-Nexus-4-2100mAh-/141174118723

LG spares replacement in Spain is the best for me, only 23€ shipping cost included, genuine product guaranted
One question, why did u guys replace battery? Burned? didn't keep charge as long? I'm thinking in replacing to have more battery life. I've had my phone for a year and a half and wonder if it will make enough difference to get one

Battery "life" of a lithium ion is around 500 cycles. If you've charged your phone daily, you've hit that 500 cycle mark. At this point, your battery has probably lost up to 20% of its capacity.
I usually go on ebay and i look for the one that was purchased the most

Dude, why would you buy a screen from eBay for 90 euros and don't even know 100% if it's original, when for 80 euros you can buy it directly from LG. I bought one a month ago and it's amazing, plus you have 1 year warranty.

They have an online store for selling spare parts for their phones. Let me find the link and I'll send it to you.

I don't think it's Europe only. On the right side there is a picture that says "Worldwide shipping..." which should mean that they ship spare parts anywhere in the world. If you want to order something maybe try and contact them first if they can ship to your country.

I don't have LG center in my country and buying from LG store online with shipping was more expensive.
