[Q] Which cheap replacement battery has working temperature sensor?

I wonder if there is a cheap replacement battery at ebay that has a working temperature sensor? I do not want to spend a fortune on this but working sensor is crucial for me. (The last one I ordered always showed 25°C.)
Can anybody who already has ordered advise on which to buy (actual links or product names would be great)?
Thank you.

Yeah, same problem here.. I have the '1600 mAh' one and it doesn't have the sensor..

It shows 1600mA, but that's not true. Apart from the lie, the battery is pretty good, stable, and gives working voltage and temperature. I dont have the balls to use it as my main battery, because I am very worried about possible leaks, and it lasts less then the original one, but its grate to have in case of charging impossibility. I always carry it fully charged.

Are you sure this has a working sensor? I bought the very same off ebay (at least it looks identical) and the temp is constant 25 degrees Celsius, no matter what I do. Checked with battery monitor widget and SetCPU, same results, no working sensor.
Can you please double check it for me and if a working sensor is confirmed can you also post / pm me a link to the ebay seller or the item number? Thank you.

...bump...

yeah, mine looks the same but no temp reading, says 25 degrees all the time :l

Why are you all trying to get a cheap $5-20 battery for a $700 dollar phone (now less, I know)?
Just not a good idea whatsoever.

Nokia Qi charger

Hi guys, I got a Nokia Qi charger for Christmas. It was bought at the Verizon store.
When I put the phone on it, case or not, it constantly connects, disconnects, connects.... and so on. It works fine with my mom's DNA.
Just wanted to let you guys know to not buy it. It is Nokia model DT-900.
Also, is anoyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

Charger out of pad:

I got one from AT&T and found that if you place your N4 so that about 1/4 of an inch of the charging pad shows at the bottom, it will not connect/disconnect. See this video:

Problem I had was that it charged too slow, so I wound up returning it and getting the LG charger.

Yes the Nokia chargers have been reported already for the cycling issue. The charging will work, but will cycle like you said. And will charge slower than the LG or Energizer chargers out there.
Here's the thread. Suprised the thread didn't pop up when you were putting this thread up.

Maybe problem is in phone or hardware. My phone's vibration don't work, and i have tried diffrent roms.

I don't think the problem is with the phone. The batteries are just crap. I work at a service center and by far the best-selling batteries are Samsung ones. Lots of people coming in with bad batteries on Samsung phones.
We have noticed a trend, i can confirm this with my own devices and also confirmed with friends that own Samsung phones - batteries that say "Cell made in Japan" or "Cell made in Vietnam" hold up good, while those that say "Cell made in China" bloat quickly and die.

Try to buy from a different store and of course, avoid "Made in China" ones ! I don't think it's the phone..

External Battery

Has anyone bought a portable battery for charging? Ideally something that supports Quick Charging.
The smallest one I've found is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XDNBJCO
5200Mah. 3.9x0.8x1.9 inches 4.7oz

I bought a choetech, 10400mah qc 2.0 compatible both out and in so it charges itself fast with my qc 2.0 charger too

But I got mine from a local online retailer here in my country, was much faster to arrive than buy it outside the country

Yea i use my xiaomi powerbank 10400mah that i bought from gearbest for like 15 bucks but things like that are always handy for gadgets so i would get 1 fast

I bought an Orico Q1 . It Costs me about 98CNY(about 14 US dollars).But i guess the efficiency isn`t very high.

I bought the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC, which is 10,000 mAH and QuickCharge 3.0:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JIYWUBA
It's the best capacity to size ratio I could find with QuickCharge, and plenty of juice to charge a few times, or multiple devices before needing to recharge it. Luckily the Z5c has such great battery life I very rarely come close to needing it, but good for traveling and piece of mind.

Hey,
I use this one for my z5c :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B645YYK/
20000mha, quick charge 2.0 (I don't think the z5c support QC 3.0) , and airPower (love this feature of AUKEY)
Maybe a little big, it depend of what you want, but it work perfectly.

Where do I buy this battery pack?

Has anyone been able to find this official samsung battery pack!??!?! I need this beautiful thing OMG

Yea my bad... Im not sure why I had so much trouble.. I was searching for "note 7 battery pack" on amazon.. finally found it by searching "samsung battery pack"

You can get a 10k mah Anker battery pack for about the same price with fast charge.
I personally have 2 Anker 10k mah packs and one thats 26k

I've just ordered the Samsung backpack from ballicom.co.uk £44 as its an all in one / wireless charging case. Don't like the idea of carrying cables and the damage connectors can do in pockets and bags. I had a zerolemon case battery for my note 5 which worked well.

I have never really timed it. The 10k take a few hours from empty. It does fast charge the pack as well as long as you plug it into a fast charge port.
Now i have never empty the 26k one but that takes a while... I normally leave them over night to charge.
