[Metrans] New Generation White Premium Qi Wireless Charging Pad - $42

I was searching through amazon today and found this qi charger that is exactly the same as the Metrans wireless charging puck found here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Metrans...LG-Nexus-4-E960-NOKIA-Lumia-920-/230947777125
I looked through the video and photos and they both say air box on the bottom. They are exactly the same in terms of design and quality even though this is listed as GMYLE for some reason. Its almost $20 cheaper. Here is the link on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Pr...e=UTF8&qid=1369339242&sr=8-1&keywords=metrans.
When I bought it there was 7 left, now there are only 6 left. Its $37.49 + $4.49 shipping was is a great deal instead of buying a cheap plastic, generic one.

only difference I notice is the status led. the metrans is white. I've never seen it green or red during charging.

I'm debating on whether or not to buy it. I've read the thread and the review from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153418 and I think it's awesome but have always shied away because of the price + availability in the USA. I don't have any excuse now... so I might buy it. I love the auto-off feature when it gets hot but at the same I feel like the phone staying at high temperature for an extended period of time while it charges may not be great for the long term.
EDIT: Did some research on GMYLE and found their official website with the Metrans MWT02 product listing here: http://www.gmyle.com/collections/ba...cy-charger-with-1000ma-current-output-us-plug
Their website looks pretty cool.. of coarse that doesn't mean that their selling original products but it's more likely that they are.
EDIT 2: I noticed on their website it says that Input:
DC 5V / 1.2A
Output: 5V / 1A
while the eBay and the review from the thread listed above states that it should be
Input 5V / 2A
Output: 5V / 1A
OK EDIT 3: So I tried to email them from the address on their website which says [email protected]. But when I look at the mailto it says [email protected] lol. I don't know why it says Clever Gadgets UK when the company is located in California. I don't know how much I trust this retailer.

Well if you have access to ordering from Verizon in the US I would suggest getting the LG WCP-300 instead since with tax and free shipping it came to $42. The Amazon price is currently at $45.49+$4.49 shipping. I love the LG haven't dealt with the metrans one yet though.

It's supposed to be really nice with this auto off feature when the phone reached 40 degrees Celsius. That's one of the selling points for me. Also, it's a little more expensive now. Used to be 38.

I bought the Amazon one from GMYLE even after all the research I did. I'll let you know how that one goes. The only reason I decided to get Amazon over ahappydeal is because at least I can trust Amazon to back me up in the event that they send me a fake.
I'll post in the thread when I get it/test it.

Ok guys, I got my charger from the Amazon listing. It's legit, no mix-ups and knockoffs here. It's the same box and packaging from the eBay listing (Air Box) and also shows a picture of the Nexus 4 on the side of the box. It's got this super cool pulsating white light when the phone is charging (not the green/red that the Amazon photo depicts) which is awesome. Like the Macbook Pro light if you have ever seen them. You can see the light in the second picture as well.
It works as advertised, charges when you place it on it. I'm still experimenting with it but I think it looks a lot cooler than the LG one. I'm still experimenting with the temperature, it's at 41 degrees celsius right now (It's like almost 100 degrees ferinheight where I'm at right now (no AC just ceiling fan) so that may have a little to do with the temperature.
Would also like to note that the Amazon listing has the incorrect amp on the power supply. It's actually 2A (like it's supposed to be). Picture included below.

you can get the LG WCP-300 for about the same price as this why would you bother getting this over the LG one ?

It's not about the price for me. I feel like this is a more premium looking, overall better charger. That's just me though.
EDIT: Should say that it kinda sucks, but sucks a little less than the LG IMO.

Your phone isn't on the sweet spot. Make sure the bottom of the phone is aligned with the charger's edge

I'm curious, do you feel comfortable charging the phone overnight even though it gets super hot? Have you noticed anything odd going on with the battery ever since you started charging over night? I don't use the charger that much because it gets way too hot for it to be good for the phone.

It is a bit hot but nothing odd going on...it stops charging once it hits 100...it then cools down a little bit...then when it goes lower again it just pulse charges

You say that you feel the Metrans "is a more premium looking, overall better charger" but you "don't use the charger that much because it gets way too hot for it to be good for the phone"
Are you saying that you think looks are more important than functionality? Or are you referring to a different charger in the second post?

Mugen Power 3000mAh Power Case for Sony Xperia Z / Docomo Xperia Z SO-02E [CC-XPERIAZ

Do you find the Sony Xperia Z’s 2330mAh battery a bit lacking? If so you may want to check out Mugen Power’s latest offering. The specialist third-party provider of smartphone extended batteries, has announced a 3000mAh ‘Power Case‘ for the Xperia Z. Traditionally Mugen Power would provide a replaceable battery with larger back cover if needed. However, as the Xperia Z has a sealed enclosure this wasn’t possible. Therefore, judging by the picture it looks like the jacket provides power through the dock pins. Whilst the case takes away some of the clean lines of the handset it may be useful for those who do a lot of travelling. The battery ships on 12 July at a cost of $89.50 with free shipping worldwide.

I am thinking to order this one, need expert opinion on this power case!
Thanks.

Yeah me too, was hoping mugen or mophie would come out with a battery case, as they're reliable brands with a proven track record. I really considered getting the power bank but figured I'd wait for something more reliable like this to come along.

So the Xperia Z then has a total of 5333mAh battery capacity, so that's a lot.

MUGEN battery and ebay battery come from the same place...china
only reason Mugen cost so much because they been in business longer, these battery works but expect your phone to be hot. I have the power bank one and they work OK. I dont like the extra wideness of the phone.

Looks cool. Is that heavy?

This is gonna make the phone more uncomfortable to hold! Makes it too big.

check the other thread i made for the china one.. does nt make it look large at all and to top it its very nice feel and does not really spoil the look of the phone... quite satisfied with the product...
best part just 20 bucks and doesnt make your phone hot at all...

Anyone ordered this?

There's a demo video of this on youtube. Think I'll get this, it looks great and hopefully with a 1 year warranty it won't have the issues that's affected the cheaper chinese battery cases.

In China there are different quality plants that produce different quality devices. At Mugen Power we create our products using components that alone cost around what the other case costs on eBay. We can of course use batteries that long "expired" according to our standards - they will last for 6-7 months and you will have to buy a new one. We cannot really justify this, that is why we produce the batteries that will last 1.5-2 years and, yes, they cost the above mentioned money. Hope I cleared it up a little

Well that may be because it's expensive.. $90 is alot but still it's Mugen. I have seen people prefer to carry 12000mAh charger with them which can charge multiple devices. Rather than battery cases which increase the overall weight and size of device.

Stock-size aftermarket battery larger than 2600mAh?

I saw a while back there was a thread about a larger capacity stock-size battery that was good, I searched, but couldn't find it. Is the Anker 2600 mHa still the best aftermarket battery?
Thanks

The ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery fits in original back cover but it's a tight fit and doesn't have NFC as it's 400mAh more

Opteka - http://opteka.com/s4batt.aspx.
Doesn't have the NFC antennae from what I can tell in my phone.
Fits fine. Battery does last longer after a few cycles.
I am at 91% after 3h 8m. I have syncing on, along with GPS and BT.
I bought a Note 2 NFC antennae to put in the cover of my phone.
They are supposed to work and I'll gamble at $4.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281119085157?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The battery is great though.
Check out the youtube videos on Note 2 NFC in a GS4.

^^ Thanks. I'm going to give that a try too. Youtube link. This NFC antenna is combined with a Qi receiver (can't go wrong buying something from a seller named Cutie Honey. LOL)
Opteka 3000 is cheaper on Amazon with free Prime shipping.
The RAVPower is conservatively rated at 2800 but gets good rating.
This AceSoft battery makes a bold claim of 3380 mAh with NFC at stock size, but that's too good to be true for me, though the seller (SodaPop) has a good 4.9 rating.

Can't read anything on that page. It's all German to me.......
Anyway I haven't seen any aftermarket battery that actually does the NFC.
If this one does, I'd be shocked. The Opteka claims it does but my phone won't do NFC.
Anyway, that dual charging and NFC sticker looks cool.
You don't have to worry about either.
I might just spend the $10.

The whole premise here is silly. If there were some easily sourceable way to get more than 2600mah from that size without dropping NFC, Samsung would have put it in themselves.

hello
im using the zerolemon 3000 mah battery and I havn't noticed anything different then the stock battery, I only charged it for 8 hours first time as the instructions said and now on my 2nd charge? Is it suppose to get better with time????? screen brightness is all the way down.

It took mine about five or six cycles before it started getting better than stock. I think mine started off about 2700 or so. Not I'm getting about 3100 out of it.

It's not about physics. It's about the phones ability to recognize the cutoff voltage of the battery, no it doesn't gain actual capacity(actually, per every cycle it loses capacity). It just gives the phones software a frame of reference for when to shut down at a critical point. Early in the batteries life the phone has to learn the limits of thay battery. That's why our phones store battery stats. I should have worded my response better, but that's not ignoring the physics. The reason that Zerolemons have a higher capacity is strictly because they are larger, albeit slightly, than the stock batteries. They don't use special cells that have more internal energy available to them. This is a slight illustration of what I am talking about. I didn't take any screen shots when it was registering less than 3k, but after every cycle it would increase the frame of reference that the phone is using.

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

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

You should ask them at their live chat.
For Greece they are fine.

Official S4 Extra Battery Kit

I haven't seen any thread on this so I decided to start one. I've been using the zerolemon 3000mah(what they marketed it as) batteries after my stock one bloated and gave out. Well, the problem is the wall charger that they come with is very low quality. So I've been looking at the official samsung battery kit and was wondering if it will be able to charge my stock-sized zerolemon's too.
Those who are using it, feel free to comment and discuss. [emoji2]

It works great!
I've been using it and it works great it lets me keep my battery in good health getting a full recgarge and discharge it charges the batteries really fast as well althougj im just using the stock battery im sure you wont have a problem charging youre larger size you just may not be abel to close the door on charging kit which isnt much of a problem

Cool. I find it funny that amazon is selling it for more than the S5 and Note 3's battery kits. How much did u pay for urs and where did u get it from? [emoji16]

I lucked out
I actually got lucky lol my grandmother went garage selling and she bought a box of stuff that had different electronics in it and it was actually in the box she picked up for 10 bucks lol :good:

Lol. Hope yours isn't a chinese knockoff then. They are cheaper and I've seen ppl posting pics of their entire charger burnt up with the battery inside. [emoji33]

Haha
Lol haha no sir it actually had the samsung paperwork instructions with it so its definitely not a knockoff I would be upset if that happened

That's good. Coz samsung sells it for an exorbitant amount.

I just got the Anker® 7800mAh Extended Battery Combo for Samsung Galaxy S4.
Great solution but heave and thick.

I did consider that. But yeah I don't think I'll prefer the added size of that thing. Just enjoy swapping batteries and getting them charged up quickly more.
Plus I don't live in the U.S so I would need to pay extra for a forwarder to ship it over. Enjoy that massive battery life, buddy. [emoji1]

I have a 5800 mah battery, it lasts 3 days at best. My original battery barely lasted 1 day. I am pretty happy with the battery but the phone is defenseless against falls:crying:

Get a tempered glass screen protector on it and you'll be fine. [emoji41]

UPDATE: Alright in case anyone is interested, I managed to get the s4's extra battery kit at a pretty cheap price (usd39) off my local seller. [emoji16]
And good news to those of u using aftermarket stock-sized batteries. They DO work with the external charger. I'm using zerolemon's and the charger gave off a flashing ember initially when I tried to charge it. But after awhile of fiddling with it I got it to work. [emoji1] It charges almost as fast as plugging your phone directly to the ac. Now I don't need to plug my phone to the wall ever again.
