I know that's cheap. But I would still rather buy a quality 5000mah one for 10x the price.

aestetically speaking, they all looks horrible as a battery solution
i much prefer taking off the back cover to swap in another pack of 1500 than hooking up one of those listed above
it's not simply the looks, it also affects usability.
you can't go about your business with are battery pack hanging around in a wire

Well, with an external charger you can just connect it while not using the phone, and have it top up the battery. I don't see any aesthetic issues doing it that way. It's a great deal easier than opening up the phone and replace the battery. The ultimate would be charger/battery case for i9000 that allows charging from mains, charging to to mini-usb, and use standard i9000 batteries.

I bought one, and it doesnt seem to work at all. Phone changes to 'Charging (AC)' and then immediately flips to 'Not Charging' when you look in battery status.

You have to get the "Charging" Micro-USB cable. The one that comes with the phone is a data + charging.
Mine works fine with the samsung eneloop 5000mah.

I'd like to know as well. My usb port has stopped working. It won't charge or connect to my pc. Verizon doesn't want to fix it. They just want to replace the phone.

I'm confused.. why wouldn't you want to have the phone replaced? I'd take a brand new phone any day. Of course assuming it's actually new and not a "like new" refurbished one..
just curious is all.
And on the OP's question - I did a google search for s4 battery door covers and found some pretty legit looking sites that sold all kinds of different colors. While perusing on the sites for other stuff they had I saw they had replacement parts for the s4 as well as other phones. I don't remember the actual site but I recall there being many, many search results that sold parts, cases, chargers & other accessories. Hope that helps? Sorry for not having a particular site but maybe my reply gets you closer to what you seek.
Good Luck!

Well my s4 is rooted and I have it setup just the way I like and it is working great. No lag, good battery life, etc. I use wireless charging on the phone to charge it so the port is doesn't have to be repaired as I can still charge the phone. I have the stock samsung battery as well as 2 3000mah zero lemon batteries and charger for them. I can usually go 15-20 hrs on a single charge with the zl battery with wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc running all day.
The biggest reason of not wanting to get a replacement is the issue of root with a new phone. With the new or refurbished phones possibly coming with the newest update, It might not be possible to root the new one they send me right now. I dunno if someone has a work around for the new update yet. I haven't been keeping up with it since I've been rooted close to the release of the phone. If root is possible how easy is it? It only prob took me 10-15 mins to root and flash a new rom to my s4 with the one click root.

Root is easy, recovery isn't possible right now.
So if you're using stock rom with root, freezing aps etc, then just get a new phone.
If you got a rom loaded and it's crucial, then wait I guess.
You could titanium back up and restore what you can with your new phone.

I think I'll just stick with what I got for now. Between wireless charging and the charger that comes with the zero lemon batteries I'm ok. Never had wireless charging before and can't see living w/out it now. It's a great feature. I'm running the newest release of hyperdrive and really liking it right now. Very stable, everything works, battery life is pretty good. Would like to flash a nice kernel and get this Quad Core Manager+ app working right on my s4. Had something similar on my htc evo 3d that shut the 2nd core down in sleep mode and dropped the 1st core to 486 mhz. My battey life was crazy. Like standby with wifi on, bluetooth, gps on and losing maybe a percent of my battery every 6-8 hrs.

[Q] Which Qi charger does your new Nexus 5 work well with?

I don't have any Qi chargers handy, I sold my Nexus charger with the Nexus 4 a few months ago. So, in looking for something that works with the Nexus 5 I thought it would be useful to have a thread where others can look up compatibility.
I remember the Nexus 4 did not work very well with the charger that came with the Lumia 920.
I'll probably look for a few cheap ones to do this mod

Hopefully the Nexus 5 will work with something like that.

My N4 didn't work at all with the Nokia wireless charger. Let's hope this one does. I'm getting it tomorrow so I'll report back when I get a change to try it out.

Awesome! Yeah my N4 would start charging and then stop when on the Nokia charger. Worked great on the Nexus charger, but it slipped. The new Nexus 5 charger looks cool, but if I can use a cheap one, I won't be spending $50 on a new one.

That's how I got the one I had. I ended up sending the 920 back because even though I had paid full retail price for it, AT&T refused to unlock it. LOL why was it a mistake? I liked the camera, but no customization and apps sucked.

It was a mistake because it kind of sucked. Camera was amazing though. WP8 needs more time to grow.

The Nokia 920 charger worked in carphone warehouse as the sales guy showed it to me. It was only a few seconds but it did accept the charge. Don't know about extended periods of time

Yeah the n4 did that as well. It works for about 10 seconds then drops, then starts working again, then repeats. Overall, it never charged. If anything it lost charge.

Glad i didn't get it then. Gonna wait for the google one. Probably be in short supply and take ages tho.

I got this one for my nexus 4, and it works even better with the nexus 5.
Shipping was also very quick (about 1 week) considering it shipped from China.
It comes with two cords but no power supply. Recommends 1.5 amps.

Turbo charging gone on pie

The issue has been noted on a Reddit thread. Myself and numerous other users have noticed turbo charging has gone bye bye when updating to pie. It's logged as unfixable. Is there anything we can do?

I have 3 USB-c chargers from Google. One that came with the phone, a car charger and another home charger for my travel bag. Only the charger that came with the phone charges rapidly. Previously they all worked fine. It's not unfixable, it's a bug. I haven't found anything to fix the problem. Guess we will have to wait for an update once they realize they messed it up.

You can downgrade to 8.1.0, or install LOS.

They know and they marked it as unfixable ! I don't think I'll be getting another pixel of Google continues with this **** Akon to planned obsolescence

So I am confused,,,and I dont mean any sarcasm here,,if the charger that came with the phone works and charges rapidly why doesnt people just use the charger that came with the phone? If you dont have one buy one off of Google?

All 3 of my chargers are directly from Google. One came with the phone and 2 I bought from the Play Store. I wanted to keep a charger in my travel bag and one for the car. They worked fine before the update. I don't see why they would disable 2 of their own chargers. The chargers I bought from the Google store are not the exact model as the one that came with the phone. You would think they would still work.

I've noticed as well. I just bought this pixel on eBay after many years without turbo charge some I'm still used to charging my phone slower, battery life to me has improved with the update. I guess I'll buy a charger from Google

That would be a reason for me to not upgrade my phone. Are there people where the original charger doesnt work?

I am using g it and it is not charging rapidly. Took 30 minutes just to get me 15 percent whereas on Oreo that would only take me ten minutes.

I guess my question is,,,why would Google say this problem is not fixable,,,usually meaning there is something the end user is doing, or has done, that is causing the problem. But then again, Google has been known to say it is not a problem until enough people say something.

Are you using a custom kernel or kernel editing software such as ex kernel manager? The reason I'm asking is because I installed ex kernel manager and fast charging went bye-bye.... when I uninstalled it the fast charging returned. I am rooted with twrp and magsik which neither seem to have an effect on the fast charging.

I think the issue was marked as "unfixable" by the AOSP team as it's not a problem with Android, it's a problem with Pixel.

Well so far I am good,,,I plugged my Pixel into my Moto stock fast charger line and it fast charges fine. So who knows what is going on.

People that had fast charging broken with first Pie update, could you please check if it works now with the September Pie update?
PS
I suggested to a friend to get the pixel and don't want her to experience this kind of issue. She's still on 8.1 August release until we know that fast-charging has been fixed.

Fast wireless charging problem

Hi,
When I put my note 20u on the wireless charger (not from Samsung), it shows fast charging and after couple of seconds it goes back to normal wireless charging. I have tried with 3 different chargers (all can charge at 10w) and cables but the results are same. I am not using any case, but a snake patterned skin (similar to dbrand Black Swarm). Anyone having the same issue or know why it is happening?
Thanks

Since I normally keep up with reading the posts that others have made I can tell you this has already been mentioned and there wasn't any resolution to it as far as I know. I personally always wirelessly charge my phone because I don't want to mess the battery up constantly using super fast charging the difference is that I have Samsung's actual wireless charger for the Note 20 Ultra so I actually don't have that problem at all and I'm thinking it might have something to do with 3rd party chargers.. I don't know if there's been any resolution to it since the last time I saw it so if you search for the thread post you should see what has been said so far.
