would love to get an improved battery. let us know real world results and if you loose NFC.
I guess you need one of those ugly covers huh?
I also bought this battery and just started using it yesterday. When I bought it I got it for just less than $15, including shipping.
Will report after a few days of use.

I purchased a couple of these batteries and during the first week they seemed to work well, but after that, battery usage was horrible. I was lucky to get 6-8 hrs out of them.
EDIT: Weird, this was not the post I select to respond to???

I've been using this battery since mid February. It has given me more juice over the stock battery by quite a few hours.

How does this one perform compared to the Nexus extended? Do any of you have both?

I have both and the andida just isn't as good as the extended battery from Samsung. I've seasoned it like the instructions say and it just doesn't last nearly as long. It's only been a week and I'm still testing it.

Agreed, it's only a tiny little bit better or if any better than the original battery.
I ordered 2 of these and a stand alone charger off Amazon for $30. Hope I didn't waste my money! Will know when I get back home in a week and get to test them out.
Does anyone that has had luck with them have any suggestions for how to "break them in", I think the instructions show to cycle them 5 times before use?
After receiving and using an Andida for about a week I was pretty disappointed. Its about the same as the stock. Nexus Extended is better.
I have the Andida battery and I feel that it does give me 2-3 hours more on a charge. No hard facts, just my impression from using it for about a week.
My experience, it gave me about 2-3 hours like what others said. I usually got 10-13 hours. I'm personally using the Qcell 3850 mah battery now, 24+ hours

Im getting 20+ hours of medium use right now with new ICS Smoothie ROM. Used to only get about 10+ hours with Rooted GB. I'm just hoping these batteries are at lease up to par with stock battery so I have some spares and an extra charger.
i needa get one of these...
For people looking for a wireless charger pick this up. Works 100% perfectly with Nexus 4, been using it for a week without a problem at all. I just ordered another one for home as I was using first one in office.
Sold on Amazon and in Verizon stores. Absolutely loving wireless charging. Any questions let me know.

Excellent charger
I can confirm that it does indeed work with a tpu case. And it works great. Some of the comments on amazon complaining about all the beeping is really crazy as it only does it when you first place it down. Otherwise it is quiet. I have two, one for myself and the other for my wife and they both work the same way regarding the beeping.
Again highly recommend this charger and about where you place the phone to charge it is very good as you do not have to place it exactly in the same position.
I just got the charger today, it charges really fast but the phone also becomes hot really quickly too. Is this normal?

Mine gets a bit warm while charging with the WCP-700, so I believe it is normal.

I'd say so, I do notice mine getting pretty warm on there

So I decided that I want to get one today, since it's probably going to be a while before the charging orb is out, but I can't find it in stock at a reasonable price anywhere! There aren't any in stock on Amazon or Newegg, and they don't seem to exist on Verizon Wireless's web store.
Anyone know where I can find one for around $50.00?

I got mine at a VZW store today for $40.12! (25% discount from a friends account!)
Nice! I guess I'll have to try my local VZW stores then. Crazy how quickly they all sold out. Even the Energizer single position charger is sold out on Amazon!
Does your WCP-700 charge your phone to 100%? Mine only charges to 97%

Broke down and bought one from Verizon today. Works awesome.
And mine seems to be stuck at 97% right now.

That may be normal behavior. I'm just trying to get a sense for what other people are experiencing.

This is expected behavior. It charges to 100% BUT if you remove it and put it back on when the phone has over 95% charge it will not charge until it drops below 95%. So if you let it charge it will go all the way up to 100% but if you then remove it and put it back it will not beep and the battery indicator will turn green until the battery drops below 95%.

Been waiting forever for this to get in stock. I ordered a spare OEM charger too. Unforunately they were out of the 2.0 MHL adapters but I'm sure some ebay ones will work just fine.
Appreciate the heads up!
now you let the dogs at it.
lol actually if you followed the 50% off thread it was back in stock over 1 week ago, in fact mine came this past tuesday!
Yeah I started that thread ha. I ordered it but it never went through. It went OOS add soon as I ordered it so it never went through.

look at the 50% off thread. register your s4 and receive a 50% off coupon via email good for 5 products but those have to be under 49.99, free ground shipping if you spend 49.99 or more otherwise it's $3.95 via post office.
Got mine a few days ago, does anyone know if it's best to leave the spare battery in the charger until it's time to swap out or to remove it once it's charged?

Tried both ways over the last few days, seems like letting it stay in the charger actually is more effective.. Will keep trying both ways to be sure however

With my old HTC Incredible I used to leave them in till I swapped out, but those were aftermarket batteries and charger.. I guess I'll heed your advice however, don't want to destroy a 30 dollar battery

i just tried to order it and its on back order . Anyone else placed a back order before on the samsung site? Is the new stock coming in pretty quick?
Don't bother with their notification system. It won't notify you when it is back in stock. Looks like it's about every two weeks or so when stock comes in and sells out within a day.

Wish they were on stock. I really need a spare battery. Actually having to charge my phone is annoying.

Hey Guys,
Quick questions. Going to buy me a Nexus 5 and upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus. Just wondering, when my GN freezes up now, I can just pull the battery. How do you unfreeze a Nexus 5?
Hold down power button for 10 seconds

I will say this...I came from a Galaxy Nexus and once I switched to the Nexus 5 I realized what a POS the Galaxy Nexus was.
I've had the Nexus 5 for 3 months and have never had it freeze ever. Not once. You will be quite pleased once you get your Nexus 5!

It is not a removable back (battery) .. at least without tools and time. Not something you are going to do for a reset.
Having said that, I have never had my Nexus 5 hang yet.

In theory it should work every single time but I honestly have never had this phone freeze on me so I don't know. With the Nexus 5 freeze ups seem to be a thing of the past and I've owned every Nexus and this one is hands down the smoothest I've ever owned!

Hi,
5 posts in 5 threads with the same reply, with the same link and not related to the OP...
Hi folks I am considering buying a nexus 5. Currently have a moto X and I'm happy with it. However I missed the stock Android and Nexus experience. They're all kinds of pros and cons with this phone as you all know. I guess after all this time, do you think the phone is still worth purchasing? Main reason being is the next Nexus is a matter of months away. What would you owners say? Thanks.

battery isnt bad. but it all depends what your signal quality will be like, how you set it up, what apps youbuse, and how you use your device. i personally see about 4.5-5.5 hours screen in time.
i just used my tmobile Jump upgrade to go from an LG G2 to the Nexus 5, best decision ive made in awhile

As Midnight_Rider Put It... In A Matter Of 6 Months... I Just Used My Jump Upgrade and Went From A HTC One M7 > Note 3 > iPhone 5s Gold (Worst Decision I Ever Made In The Handset Division... The IPad Is Cool But Not The Phone) and Now I Have The Nexus 5...
As Stated Before... Best Decision I Ever Made In The Mobile World In A While. I've Had the Nexus One & the Galaxy Nexus... Minus the Nexus S As I Wasn't On Sucky Sprint But Now That I Have the Nexus 5... I Can Clearly Admit That I'm Thrilled To Be Back To Pure Google, Unlocked, Unrestricted and On the Un-Carrier and the Nexus World.
I Said the Same Thing... As the Next Nexus Is Due By December and The G3 Is Right Around the Corner But Seriously... Its A No Brainer... I Wish the Best To You Young Padawon On Your Choices... Choose Wisely lol ?
