Extra battery/battery charger - LG G5 Accessories

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..

Hi all,
Where can you order the cradle? I'm in Europe and can't do this through Verizon, AT&T etc.
Thanks.

The same in Europe, i'm interesting to buy it

Found it available in UK here

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..

Stopped by Target last night and they had MT4G on the shelf.
Saw it at Costco for $149.99
Bought mine at Costco for $149. Comes with a travel case, car charger, and a bluetooth headset.
Did any of you who have a data plan for less than $30/month get a run-around on having to "upgrade" your data plan?
If not, watch out for anything on your TMo bill down the road. When I first looked at ordering on their website, up popped a note that before activating it, I would have to convert my data plan.
If the forced data upgrade does not happen on devices bought at these stores, then I feel sorry for all the TMo stores - their computers are all set to force the upgrade before they can approve the upgrade price.
Everyone will go to Costco, Radio Shack, etc.
Does the case that come with it, is it actually a nice case for it or just a generic case?
samsclub has it for 79.74. walmart has it for 49.99 after rebates. t-mobile store priced match mine at 79.74 but the cs rep wasn't too happy about it, dont know why. I told him tmobile makes $$$ from contracts not from the phones, then he went on ranting how walmart/samsclub can stay in business with these prices. I really didn't care, i just wanted my phone and get the hell out

Does Costco usually let you buy off contract?
I stopped by the Costco near me yesterday and was told they're not selling the myTouch 4G off contract.
Can someone else confirm?
Nope, they don't sell off contact but they are required to have the price there because instead of paying taxes on the discounted rate, you pay the full price taxes. I was not too happy paying 28 bucks in taxes but still was a good bundle deal @ $228 - $50 rebate $178.00

If you have an old device to trade in, consider Radio Shack. They sell the phone for $149.99 (no mail-in), and offered me $75 for my beat up Droid 1 and up to $100 for a mint one.

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

http://store.wpcentral.com/zens-wireless-single-charger/5A233A12862.htm
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.

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.

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

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

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....

Oh no doubt, I'll definitely get more use out if these things then I would have the headphones or Fortnite stuff.
I'm happy that I got a solid pair of bluetooth over-the-ear headphones with noise canceling... I don't like the in ear style. But the fortnite imaginary dollars definitely aren't worth it. Now if they were offering the new Galaxy Watch with the promo, I'd be all over it.

Do you have a link for this? I cannot find it on their website.
*edit*
I did find a little information about this through the app but I still cannot find that page/image you posted.
In the app, when you come across the charger or earbuds, it does say say in grey fine print
"Buy a Galaxy Note 9 and get a free Duo wireless charger and your choice of a Note 9 cover. Or for an additional $99, get a pair of IconX earbuds".
If you click on the Note 9, to buy through the app and run through all the options (size, color, carrier), it will let you pick the gift.
So as far as I can tell you must purchase the Note 9 through the Samsung Shop app to make this happen, at least for now.

yep, you have to go through samsung to get this promotion:
https://beebom.com/samsung-note-9-wireless-charger-offer/
Samsung has to give freebies away to justify the astronomical price of this phone. So far it's worth it though imo.
Current promo being better is subjective. I have no use for duo wireless charger or some earbuds that will fall out of my wide ear canals. Which incidentally upcharge $100 more for.
Come Christmas they might offer better trade ins for the note 9

Like Limey said it is a matter of preference. I am happy I am getting the headphones and I already have two wireless chargers that I never even use. I bought two phones so my wife and I are both getting a pair of headphones. With this deal, I would get two charging stations so for me, the pre-order deal was much better.

Lol, yes. I remember when I got my note 8 with the wireless charger promo on launch as well as the memory card. I tried to sell the wireless charger on Craigslist, no takers. Even at launch I'd take $50 for it, and folks would offer me $25. It's still in my drawers gathering dust.

I will be mighty upset if they do a promo with a 512GB micro SD card. Otherwise, the promos are whatever floats your boat. I wonder if the mods will let us start a trade thread. Or it can be done privately maybe?
I wonder, even though I preordered already can I still claim this? I'm still thinking if I want to pick up my note 9 or not because of reasons and this might pull me in even more....
They've always did different promo deals after a phone launch. And by month three, the price of the phone drops.
The new wireless charger doesn't charge any faster than any other charger you may have. My wife's Note 9 works with the wireless charger I bought 3 years ago for $15. The wall wart charger is still 2A that comes with the Note 9, so the charge rate will be exactly the same. That Duo charger costs $60, is huge, and not worth that kind of money. I wouldn't want it even if it was free. The 512 phone is backordered for a month or more, so if you want this new promo deal, you will be waiting a while if you want that phone. I'll keep my wireless charger that is smaller than the Note 9, rather than one that is the size of a shoebox.

They've always did different promo deals after a phone launch. And by month three, the price of the phone drops.

The wall charger is 2.0A for the Note 9. The same as the Wall Charger for my Note 4. The same as the charger for my Tab A tablet. Samsung has never come out with a different wall charger in device I know of. They are all the same.
The only way to claim these promo's is by buying from samsung, right? Or can I buy from bestbuy and still get the promo like with the preorder bonus?

YMMV. Some retailers have been doing their own promos.
I think the best promo would've been 512GB for 128GB price in more regions or free 512GB micro SD card. Oh well. I don't know how Samsung internalizes what markets get what. Usually South Korea gets the best extras and freebies though.
B&H had their own pre-order that was different than everyone else's, but it was only for unlocked phones. Their current offer is a Dex Pad Dock, and a Duo Charger when you buy the phone.

Question Samsung store promotional credit can't be used for everything in the samsung store?

So I've pre ordered my S22U ( amazing btw) and now I've received my $250 promotional credit as I didn't use it for accessories i didn't need. Figured I'd put it towards one of the Samsung TV's to replace my older one. No dice. During check out it says this promo can't be used for the items in the cart. Can the credit only be used for accessories?
I believe so. It sucks and the worst part is they limit the choices even within the accessories section.
Darn, it would not work for a sound bar either. I do not need that lousy keyboard they offer for the S8+
Well that sucks! So do their accessories though.
Man, those are some deceitful tactics. I'd wait until after the pre order window had i known as they've increased the trade in value by $150 while removing what's turning out to be a useless Samsung store credit after that window. What am I supposed to do with this useless credit now? Ffs

I think I have good news about it for you: try search for the desired item in a search box(google for example) and from the different sellers sites pick Samsung and open their page to view that item, sign in to your account and proceed to the cart with that item, the cart will show your available points plus you can apply your promo code in the box and buy that item(s) at final, discounted price.
It has worked for me last night when I tried to spend my $50(reservation$$) plus I had $8 reward points but on the Samsung product pages they had only a meaningless remnants-crap items I wasn't interested in buying. I didn't care that the 15W wireless charger + 25W brick and cable was "out of stock" I got the items with April 7th delivery date - but of course, today Samsung already sent me a 'corrected' date: April 14th. That's ok, at least I've got what I want and need - not what they want me to spend my $$ on.
I hope it will work for you on TV.

Damn, I wish I didn't use the promo for the bunch of accessories I didn't really need. I guess the wireless car charger will be OK along with the smart tag plus. But I have no idea what I'll do with the buds pro. Already have a bunch of better sounding BT headphones. Spoke with their customer service and they told me the code is only for the watches keyboards and phone accessories. Even a Samsung external SSD wasn't able to be discounted. Hope this works for others should they see it before they pull the trigger.
That charger I bought was nowhere to find in their promo offers, but I figured out that it has to be advertised elsewhere, they are in the sales business after all, Samsung webpages is a mess so I'm glad I'm done w/ them now for at least one year if they put something interesting on the market next "flagship" season of 2023 ) The time spent on "chatting" w/their cs always makes me contemplating about quitting Samsung forever yet, I come back again.
Unless the Galaxy Watch 4 with LTE is considered an accessory, I had no problem spending my $250 credit, my $13 bonus points as well as $37 extra dollars to pay for the watch.
