XIAOMI Portable Power Bank 10400mAh - Nexus 4 Accessories

http://www.chinabuye.com/xiaomi-por...-m2-m2s-m3-red-rice-apple-and-android-devices
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.

Is this battery safe to be used with Nexus 4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

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.

Which charger did yolu order from geekbuying? Can you share the link please?

I have found these from a company called tinydeal.com but now I've heard about the fake versions I'm worried about getting one. Just wondering if anyone has had any dealing with this company before?

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

isn't the 2A output too much for the Nexus 4?

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

Zens Wireless Qi Charger

Like many of you, I have been looking for a wireless Qi charger while I wait for the orb to become available. I was interested in the LG charger but it continues to be driven up in price along with the Energizer charger.
Someone on these forums mentioned the Zens charger over at wpcentral and that there was a discount when you use "holiday12". The store is for windows phones (specifically the Lumia 920), but since it is Qi, it of course should work the same. I emailed Zens and asked about the Nexus 4. They responded to me in less than 4 minutes confirming it works with it perfectly. With the great customer service and quick response, I bought 2 for the house.
This was their response:
Hi Dan,
Thank you for your email and interest in our products. The ZENS Single Charger works perfectly with the Nexus 4 as they are both Qi compatible, no need for a extra sleeve.
Best regards,
Team ZENS

They are $48.95 each and you get free shipping over $50. I ordered 2 and with the "holiday12" coupon code, it brought my total to only $83.22.
This charger looks very stylish and does not slant like the Energizer. Our phones are so slick and I don't like having to put something down on the charger just to make it work (or having to rip out a speaker).

I'm actually still a little hesitant to order these based on information from any CSOs. Those from nokia claim to be based on Qi but there is still quite a number of users complaining about issues with it. Would love to hear an update/review from OP one you get it though.

You are looking at the multiple device charger. The single charger is $48.
As far as those who are concerned whether it will work correctly or not, the store has a very good return policy and will give free return shipping within 60 days.
I do see now that it is out of stock, but it looks like it still allows you to add it to the cart. When i bought, it showed an availability date of 12/12/12, as if they were not currently in stock then.

I know it shows out of stock, but it let me go all the way to credit card payment info. I think they might be accepting orders and will ship when they do get them in stock. Might be worth it since all of these chargers are getting snatched up or price jumps. Plus you get the holiday discount code.
Thanks for this, I picked up the dual charger. I just couldn't buy the Energizer one it's just toooooooo ugly.

That is indeed what they do. This is what they say when checking out.
Because your order contains out-of-stock item(s) (see above) and orders are held until they can ship complete, we can't guarantee delivery on a specific date. Please choose a shipping method, and we will ship your order as soon as possible. We do not bill until the day your order ships.

Inductive charging requires drive electronics and coils in both device and charger, increasing the complexity and cost of manufacturing.

Extended battery case for the Sensation

Is there an extended battery case for the Sensation? For example, a case where you flip a switch and it charges the battery? My Anker battery doesn't last me the whole day, a dismal 6 hours. I need more than that. Any help would be appreciated!

It's probably legit. They were selling it for $5 shipped in their official site. I don't like its quality very much. Mine is 6 months old. I barely used it and it's charging for only 6 hours (it used to charge for like 13 hours before - it might be at half capacity). And sometimes it doesn't charge. I need to unplug and plug again to it starts charging. Maybe only mine was defective.
If I were you I'd buy an anker external battery (or of some other good brand).
I bought powerskin because it was $5 and I just suggested because it's the only extended battery inside a case I know.

Thing is that I bought an Anker battery, and it didn't last me as much as I thought it would. $5 shipped?! What the hell. Did they mark it up because it is rare now?! I mean, if you say it's good quality, I'll get it. Apparently the seller is in Brooklyn, so I could get it a bit faster. Like, when you say $5 shipped, you mean that the case was $5 or the shipping was $5. I'm feeling some type of way right now.
I believe $49.99 was the original retail price. The manufacturer overestimated demand and put it on clearance at a ridiculously low price. That was back in December I think. Unfortunately those are all gone now so we're left buying from third parties.

Video: Fake vs Real Spare Battery Charging System

Quick video to illustrate some of the difference. I bought the fake one on Amazon from a US based seller with Amazon fulfillment.
good info, hopefully this will help others, I was beat on one of these fake charger kits, mine came in a single package but looked like yours, I had my doubts that it was fake from the day I got it, my battery wouldnt charge all the way and died quickly, so I started digging around and researching and found it to be a fake, I ended up buying an authentic system directly from Samsung

The ironic thing is the authentic one was cheaper than the knock-off. Samsung still has a coupon for 50% of all accessories under $50, so the charging system comes to $24.50. Orders over $50 get free shipping, so I got two charging systems and a pack of Tectiles for $57 shipping
Check retailmenot for current coupons: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/samsung.com?c=4772794
Not affiliated in anyway with retailmenot or samsung, just passing it forward.
yeah I missed the 50% discount by like a week when I ordered my charger kit
I have the authentic one from samsung but mine didn't come with a wall charger... you said the wall charger 0.7 amps? In reality it should be 2amps just like the charger that came the phone no? It will charge the battery much slower

Mine also didn't come with the wall charger. But everything else looks the same.
Battery charging at 700 mah will have your battery charged in 4 hours. If your phone is on, it draws about 400-500 with the screen on idle, so it would be considerably slower.
Since it's just a charger and there isn't actual use, it charges well at 700 mah. I didn't bother looking at the fine print of the charger so I take your word for it. The charger itself should have an input and output on it's power.
Here is the sticker inside the charger...

That is definitely legit. I forgot to mention to mention the fake/foreign one has a different model number... it ends in a C instead of a U. I'm guessing maybe "China" vs "US" market? They look very similar, but there are some obvious differences besides the sticker and packaging. The LED light bleeding through the plastic is most obvious. I also noticed the Chinese version had a green PCB instead of black. I didn't do a complete teardown, but you can see it through the holes in the corner of the battery tray.
Am not so sure that those things mean that anything is fake.
For example, the original battery in my s4 says Made in Chine, assembled in china.
Those big companies produce slightly different versions of products for different markets for pretty obvious reasons.1st of all is Regulations and 2nd is demand. For example they judge that people in China are likely not going to pay 50$ for the charger so they opt for lower cost materials to drop the costs.

I agree. But when you pay for the US version, and shady sellers pawn off the lower quality foreign market product, that isnt acceptable. The product description on Amazon even warns buyers to look for the Samsung hologram on the packaging. These cheap versions, real or not, dont have any holograms and shouldn't be sold as substitutes. If you want to pay less for the foreign version on aliexpress or wherever, and you know what youre getting, more power to you!

Definitely. Nobody should be paying the price of the American market product and getting the inferior (maybe quality-wise but not performance wise). But then there are people (and i admit that sometimes am one of them) who dont care if the light shines through the plastic and i wouldnt mind paying almost 1/2 the price for that.

But when i got the batteries i realized that although they look almost exactly like the real thing, they are counterfeits... 1. They will go in the phone but they don't fit as smoothly as the original battery. 2. NFC does not work. 3.theres is no white sticker on the top.
Now when i looked again on ebay to find real authentic Samsung OEM batteries I realized that this dude is all over the place there probably like 15 accounts selling this same battery all from the same place: Kennedale, TX (search for oem s5 battery on eBay and see how many of them are from Kennedale, TX).
So I think I'm going to call eBay and report him because I don't other people like me to buy from one of his 15 accounts by mistake. But I also want good replacement batteries, preferably OEM, does anyone have any recommendations of where I can find them?

yikes, that sounds bad.

About 95% of "Genuine" batteries on Ebay will be fake, so the important thing is you've learned your lesson never trust sellers even with massive positive ratings.

it's the same thing with cases, cables, etc on eBay.
If you're paying $11 bucks for an EOM, sorry dude but c'mon you must know its a FAKE...
The seller is obviously trying to rip people off no doubt. And Aryehzev is right to report him. Common sense says if something is too good to be true it nearly always is. Gen battery that cheap when a device is new would raise my suspicion unless it was from a trusted big name retailer.
Thanks for the warning though.

Pay the 30$ for OEM from samsung.com
just saying if you see a bunch of sellers selling the battery for around $10...you know it's fake. why even bother..? it has been like this with eBay for a while and reporting a seller here and there won't do much. It's eBay that has to change their policies.

Do be careful with ebay, they will screw the buyer if the seller is a power seller, that means they bring ebay the money! I got screwed buy ebay and they sent it to my credit report but got it removed already. Ebay is to big so they reallyy dont care. They are only hurting themselves.

You could own a NFC one or a non-NFC one from it.Hope it may help.

Have you tried that one? how does it compare to the battery life you were getting with the one that came with your phone?

The numbers say it would be within 30 min of OEM...But who knows
I've given up on anything "authentic" in Ebay. Bought an S5 otterbox and it was clearly counterfiet after I opened the box. Texture was completely different and didn't even fit my phone correctly. Got a full refund from ebay. One thing to watch out, these scammers, which they are, open multiple accounts and ship from China to a company here in US that will re-label the package with US postmarks. The scammers utilize ID theft to open accounts in other peoples names also, just a friendly reminder.

When I first use a non-NFC battery from Onite,it only last the same time as my 1 year old OEM battery,Then they told me to charge and fully drain the battery for the first 3 cycles,I follow their suggestion and it works,the battery can last even longer than the OEM one.

Extra battery/battery charger

Preordered mine yesterday - the first thing I'll get it an extra battery or two and a charging stand for them.
It's still early days, but one ali seller is claiming to have original batteries: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...ery-For-LG-T3-T5-T6-T7-T8-T9/32643903091.html at two for 15$, but no ratings or feedback
Haven't found any on ebay.
From what I can see from photos on the net the product number is: EAC63238801 LLL and it's a 4,40V battery.
If I search for the P/N I find a few sites with the battery at around 20€.
Edit: Just saw that a cradle and an extra battery is part of deal in the US: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g5/promo
Original is the brand lmao. Definitely third party cheapo chinese batteries.
Avoid alibaba if you like your pockets not exploded

I agree, I do use aliexpress sometimes, but I would avoid getting battery from there at all cost. It is the homeground for all fakes.
I know it's barely been released but haven't found any replacement batteries, even lg oem for sale. If someone has a link I would appreciate it. Got a trip to Europe and we bought the phone specifically to be able to swap and go, not like last year when we spent much of the time charging my s6 since I was using the camera for the trip
I have a free one (OEM) w/charging stand and USB-C Adapter on the way, having purchased my LG G5 thru Best Buy for $99. My VZW line charge did go up $20/month. So as opposed to buying directly from Verizon and paying $26/month x 24 for $624, I pay $20/month x 24 for $480 + $99 = $579. You don't get the $10 adapter in the Verizon free package so hey, I'll take $55 saved.

If you pre-ordered through Verizon between 3-24 and 3-31 (like I did) you get the battery and cradle plus the 360 cam ($199 value). I pay Verizon $26/mo and they give me a $25/mo discount so my phone costs $1/mo for two years (excluding data plan, of course). I'll take that.
I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3/23. My free accessories arrived today via UPS in a padded envelope inside a cardboard box. Pictured left to right: Micro-USB to USB-C Adapter, Battery charging cradle, Extra battery.

Nice, waiting for mine from LG too, pre-ordered on Tmobile and will get battery bundle pack and 360 lg cam.
Has anyone that purchased on 4/1 or later gotten notification that their spare battery/cradle submission is approved and will be shipping soon? I have messaged LG to ask where I can buy an OEM charger and cradle now because I hate waiting and have not heard back yet.

I bought mine on 3/29 but mine is notapproved yet.
I haven't received an approval email yet either. I did receive an approval for the camera offer, though.
Ordered mine from LG on the 1st. No reply yet. AT&T never said anything about the camera. Is that free too?
Just picked up my freebies as well.
I preordered mine the second it was available to. I entered info on the promotion site the second it became available and it still hasn't been approved yet..

Thanks.

Ordered mine from gmarket for about USD 32, some countries will also give you a battery case as shown in the photo, I know hong kong does not come with the battery case, that is why I got it from korea.
BTW Gmarket ship worldwide and accepts paypal..
