Filled mine out about 4 days ago. Not sure how fast they ship.
Just switched to T-Mobile 2 days ago and got the V10. I submitted for this promo this morning.
What happened to the 256gb microsd card LG was promoting with purchase?

Guys, does anyone have a copy of there receipt (T-Mobile)? I got mine off EBay but the person whom I got it from and asked for the receipt still doesn't answer. It would be great if you could PM me a copy please. Thanks!

I don't think that is going to work for you. The IMEI on the box that you have to take a picture of won't match the IMEI on the receipt.

Anyone receive this yet. I've been waiting for a long time.

Never really timed it, but it's not as fast as the phone... Also it's designed to drain the battery completely before charging, so it doesn't kill the battery memory.

Errr.... that's a problem, because these batteries A: don't have "memory" and cell phone batteries haven't had "memory" since the 90s. That's a NiCAD thing. B: Li-Ion batteries are designed to be topped off, NOT drained completely. Every time you drain it completely it kills the battery that much more. I seriously doubt LG designed the cradle to do this.

Had a chat with T-Mobile about getting a replacement battery due to the one I have possibly causing freezing or reboots. After a bit if annoying troubleshooting crap they ordered a warranty replacement for the battery. Only problem? They're back ordered with no eta! Perhaps they're fixing them? Will post when I get it and results.

I can't seem to think that batteries are at fault. I think it is just the wonky stock kernel. Have you guys tried CM7 and its default kernel?

Shouldnt be a problem. I went ahead and ordered a new battery this morning for the hell of it. Dude told me I didnt have to send the old one back or anything.
I called up for a new battery because mine is going nuts. Sitting idle with everything shut off and lost 25% in 1 hour and half. I told t-mobile that and complained that I was a loyal customer. They're sending me a new battery and letting me keep this one.
Anyone know where I can get a external charger than can charge this battery that comes with the phone? i'd buy one considering i can use both
The chargers that come with the knock off ebay batteries would prolly work.
I bought mine on ebay, just search for g2x charger...you can find two batteries and a charger for around $12.00 and they work great for me.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I have one of those chargers with those 2 batteries.
I'm a bit worried about using those 2 batteries though.... afraid to ruin my phone or I don't really want to get 4 hours use of those batteries. But the charger should definitely work then regp? Wouldn't damage my battery would it?
I cant promise it wont ruin your battery but my logic says if the battery is a clone of the original they should work in the same charger.. Check the voltage output on the battery and the charger just to make sure. I used the knock off charger for my real vibrant battery as well as the fake batteries and never had a problem.
Okay, so if the knock off charger has the same voltage and stuff, I can use it? Sounds good I guess!
I use and charge with the external charger the two knockoffs and the OEM batteries and they all work fine...
when charging batteries on the phone the knockoffs seem to run cooler...with the lg battery the phone gets hot, freezes and reboots while charging...but when charging the phone with the knockoffs it has never rebooted or frozen yet...
Edit: just jinx myself! G2x froze just now while charging with knockoff battery also...

Still waiting for my exchange battery to arrive. The more I read the forums I have hope that's what is the cause. People are getting freezes even with cm7 which is a separate kernel. It would explain why for some people swapping out the phone worked because they got a different battery too. Lets hope I get a better battery.

The one review seems to be quite thorough. Seems to work fairly well. Not really sure if its worth $30 though. I got 2 1600 mah batteries and a battery charger for $9. So for a third of the price I can swap batteries and get 3X the battery life. Only downside is having to carry the other batteries around.

i ordered the 1800 mah battery from amazon and got it in the mail yesterday, and I'm actually pretty disappointed. It almost seems to have the same life as the stock battery. Drains fairly quick. I'm thinking about preordering the 4500 mah one.

Not all extended batteries are a "rip off", and besides, how could we know without testing them? I think it's fine that someone made a thread to report on a specific battery that they purchased so that the rest of us can have some information on it. Thanks OP.

Will do. I'll see how it performs over a few days of my typical usage -- a few phone calls, lots of texting, internet and more internet, a few rounds of Wheel of Fortune, more internet lol.
Best case scenario would be a few hours more battery life. After all, the advertised capacity is only 20% more than the OEM battery.

A battery can't be judged by a single usage cycle. You have have to cycle it a couple of times for it to get in the groove of charging and discharging properly But with that said, you won't really see all that much of a difference from 1500 mAh to 1800 mAh. You might squeeze in an extra hour or two through a days use, but not much more then that sadly

Tested with a computer voltage logger over multiple discharge cycles.
No, the OPs battery was not tested, but since NOT ONE after market battery has EVER lived up to its marking, its clearly delusional to think this battery may just be the one thats legitimate.
It's a profitable game for them and buyers are naive and want to believe in the magic.
A rip-off is selling a product fraudulently, regardless if it still has value.
Specifically, a battery that tests to be less that 5% of its stamped rating is a fraud.

Informative chart. Thanks for the link. I've used aftermarket batteries for other phones and have had anywhere from decent performance to one that wouldn't even last 5 hours lol. Not expecting stellar results from this one either, but I got it for only $15 so if it gives even a decent day's usage then it will be worth the $15.
I've used it for about 2 days so far and its been holding up okay. Waiting to see if its gets any better after a few discharge/charge cycles before I really make up my mind about it.

Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to this forum and I was wondering if anyone here have had any experienced with a standard generic Qi charger from China. I'd recently purchased one online and have been using it for over 2 days now without any problems.
My intention was to actually try this product first before I get a charger from reputable brands such as Energizer or even the Nexus Orb. Is there any difference between these charging pad or should I just stick to the one I have now?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
it would be helpful if you can mention the brand name or post a pic, if you still cant provide url. i'm recently ordering fasttech wireless charger too, still waiting to be delivered.
As long as it is charging the device, and it doesn't feel like it is getting too hot, then I would stay with what you got.
I think the benefit of the orb is that it holds it at an angle so you can see it while sitting, but that is just a small benefit that normally doesn't matter.

Just got a fasttech charger, figured Id give it a shot. Makes me appreciate the orb more and makes me feel better about spending twice as much on the orb. The orb uses micro USB (aka universal), secures the phone and doesnt have the obnoxious blue LED on it. Also, the fasttech seems finicky about charging, you have to get it just right. The orb doesnt seem to care.
Something weird happened to my charging pad last night. Apparently, I wanted to gauge how long will it take for the pad to charge my Nexus 4 to 100% from 10%. So after making sure that my battery was at 10%, I left it on the charger and went to bed.
However earlier this morning, I find that my battery was only at 84% charged (after nearly 5 hours of charging). A quick look at the battery stats shows that it charged normally from 10% to 80% and then dropped down to 70% (on battery and pad did not charged, I reckoned). After that, it was charging again to 84% and stayed flat at that percentage till morning. Weird right?

My current so called "official" Samsung battery gets charged from 0% to 100% in around 1 hour and the maximum I get from it is 2 hours SOT and 6 hours total...that's just sad, my S5 was a champ a few years ago. Waiting for your input

This isn't going to be super helpful, since my phone has just been sitting on my desk playing podcasts. Anyway, I'm at 66% battery after 7h 44m off the charger. Total "awake" time is 3h 20m. SOT is only 21 minutes.
I'm very happy with this battery, if that helps. I think the life is on par with stock - just no NFC.

I never used NFC anyway (though I see how cool it can be, it just never got off). How long does it take to actually recharge the PowerBear from 10-15 to 100%? (I love that brand name lol)

I rarely get that low and mostly charge overnight, so I can't really say. I can tell you that I sometimes wait to charge until I get to the office and at around 40-50% and it takes maybe an hour to get to 100% with a 1 A charger.

Probably. I don't see how a battery can be different between the different models. If it's the same size then it's fine I guess.

Oh, I forgot. Do you have 4G always turned on or you have mobile data off unless you need to use it? And are those podcasts streamed online or played locally from an mp3 file for example?

Yes, works fine in my 900F. Much better than other aftermarket batteries I tried.
