When I bought the G3 they (Best Buy) told me it charges right out the box. So what I do, I buy the Duracell wireless charger, put my phone on it and what do you know nothing happens. So I go to an ATT store and ask them why do we have a back plate with prones to charge but it doesn't charge they said that it should be charging and that maybe I had a defective charging station. So they looked further and found out I needed the wireless folio case. So it doesn't charge out the box. So they gave me 50% off the folio case for telling me it charges out the box. Now I have to wait 3-5 days to charge wireless. And now I cant even use my Spigen cases to charge my phone wirelessly!! Ma'an what a day.lol

Just like when the two promised me I could speak on the g watch...answer calls, make calls....the only reason I bought it.

At least they sold you the right charging mat. Only the AT&T version uses the power mat technology. All the other G3 versions out there use Qi charging. But none of the US versions come with the charging components in the case "out of the box." I guess the wireless companies want to force you to buy another case.
50% off of a circle folio is not bad at all. I need to purchase one as I just for a powermat from at&t for 10! Clearance package for the iPhone 4s but the powermat is the same. Now I just need to purchase the case to charge wirelessly.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

This is accurate. For a limited time there is an offer of 50% off of an accessory with a LG G3 purchase...the folio case is included. Hopefully some business in the Asian Pacific Rim will develop a replacement back housing for our AT&T G3 variants so that powermat will work without a flip case.

That's interesting. I've tried three corporate stores in Chicago, and none had them. On the website, they're listed as "online only." I also tried doing the live chat to see if they could tell me where the cases might be in stock, and was told they're available online only. Clearly that's not true, but I wish there were a way to find out what stores have them.
The ones at the corporate store are the one whites. I don't believe they have the contacts for nfc or wireless charging. The one online is the Grey model. It states pma ready.

Wow, I'm here in Massachusetts. The corporate closest to my house had the PMA QC cases and the powermats.. I assumed that all corporate stores would be similar.
I'm gonna have to make a trip to the store and see if I can find one then.

I didn't get mine from corporate store. The corprate store called
ATT.com and ordered it for me. Then gave me a store discount of $30. I'm in TN and they don't have the cases know where in the area. Can only but them online.

There is a way. Go to att.com and place it in your cart. Proceed to checkout and for shipping, select in-store pickup. It will prompt for a zip code and then tell you the closest stores that have it in stock.

No you need a PMA charger the LG one is qi.
Replacing back
I have a question... Could one just buy a replacement back off of eBay for a carrier that supports qi charging...like say t-mobile, and switch it with the att battery cover? Or are there internal components required as well?

The top one for T-Mobile works great. I use one in my office, and you can use it in the car with a car charger too. Just a handy place for the phone all around. Only disadvantage is, it will NOT work with any type of skin or case.
I picked up the Desktop cradle and another battery that comes with battery only charging unit directly at T-Mobile for 21.39 after tax.. It was a hell of a deal

So apparently my charger broke. Connected to the wall neither my phone nor my girlfriend's Fascinate will charge. Plugged into the computer nothing happens either.
Was wondering what I should do.
1. Are chargers covered under warranty? I have extended warranty/asurion full coverage.
2. What are the best replacement chargers? I'd prefer something from Verizon because I'd rather go to the store tomorrow and pick it up than wait for the charger to be shipped and delivered.
Any other help is much appreciated!
Also does anyone know the length of the charger cable that comes with the phone?
Verizon Wireless online shows different chargers/micro usb cables ranging from 9 feet, 6 feet, 3 feet, and 12 inches.
I bought a spare from eBay for $6 and its the exact same as the one that came with the phone.
i work for verizon and yes your charger has a one year warranty. bring it into any corporate store and they should replace it as long as it is not physically broken. if you have any probs replacing it PM me

Are you saying that the insulation is breaking and you can see the actual inside wiring? If so then technically that would be considered physical damage but most corporate reps (or at least the managers) will exchange it as a one time courtesy.

I don't mind replacing things for customers because its probably been assembled in some third world country by a kid they pay 10 cents an hour to. Verizon is a huge company that can afford to replace a charger to a person that pays like $100 a month for cell service

Unfortunately the Verizon Wireless store I went to wouldn't replace it. My wires were fraying and they said even though I'm under warranty they couldn't replace it.
Had to buy $30 travel charger :/
they suck! they are a bunch of corporate dogs licking their masters cracks! They could have at least given you a charger out of the returns and just put that one in the box! Horrible cust service
For $30 you could have gotten 2 cla adapters, 3 wall chargers and 5, 6' USB cables with shipping from monoprice.com

FYI for those of you just shopping around for something to buy for your new GS4. I registered my GS4 on Samsung's website ( http://www.samsung.com/us/support/register/product ) and by doing so, you get a coupon for 50% off any accessory under $50. To my knowledge, there's no mention of it anywhere on the registration page, but I just got an email.
Of all the things under $50, the one that caught my eye was another 2600mAH battery (listed at $39.99). While steep and you can get 3rd party batteries for cheaper, the 50% brings it to $20. Not too shabby. Other stuff under $50 are bluetooth earpieces, flip covers (not S-version), and a couple chargers and even the Galaxy Multimedia Dock.
Fine print shows that shipping is $3.95 unless your order is over $49.99, which then it's free.
EDIT: Oh, the so called "Galaxy S 4 Spare Battery Charging System" for $49.99 includes a 2600mAH battery, so that might be a better buy than the battery itself because the case acts as a holder/case you can charge at the same time. 50% off means you'd get the case for a $5 difference than the regular battery after discount.

I just noticed that. I think though, you have to move your cart to backorder. What this does is reserve one for you (and they email you) when they actually do get them in stock. I just reserved that extra charger/battery and supposedly they'll email me when they have it in stock.

They don't charge you. There's no way for you to put your payment info. At least when I did it, it just sent me to a page saying my order was placed and when it arrives, i have an option to go to a special checkout page.
So I guess it's more of a "preorder" thing for 50% off.

I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a SR for about 18 months. Time for a new battery mid-contract.
But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from Pacific Mall, they were awful.
I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be.
So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?
Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.
Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???

I'm in the states but it looks like amazon.co has a bunch of market sellers who have EBL1D7IBA the main worry would be if it's really used.
I have a Nexus extended that i'd part with. Used it in my SR till it broke. Now i'm using my girls until I upgrade.. just hit me up in PM with an offer..
Have the oem battery from my SR too.. obviously used, but figured i'd throw that out there too.
Its here if you want it. Its $50 though..

If you can have someone in the US order it for you Sprint is offering the OEM Galaxy Nexus battery (2100 mAh) with battery door for free with US $6.50 for shipping you would have a steal at your hand.
I ordered one for my SR last time they had the same offer and though the extended battery is a snug fir under the regular SR back cover it does last about 2-3 hours longer with moderate to heavy use as compared to the original.
Here is the quote;
"Sprint offers the Samsung Extended Battery Bundle for Galaxy Nexus for $49.99. Coupon code "BATTERY1" makes it free. With $6.50 for shipping, that's the lowest total price we could find by $28. It includes a 2,100mAh lithium ion extended battery and battery door."

I just ordered this online too. Does this ship to your house or do you have to pick it up at a sprint store? mine says pick up in store? I guess it doesn't really matter.
Also, Does this battery really last longer than the OEM one? i've had mine for about 18 months now and its time for a new one. Can't beat $6.50 though. Awesome find!
