I have a similar one from China. Can't remember the name of the store now. Its been great. No issues at all with mine. And looks very similar to that one. The logo might be different if I recall.

Bump. Any reviews of the site generally and of the charger, in particular?

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered this from them, seems on the up-and-up. Will post back when it arrives.

How about that one ?

Any news on the Nexus Qi charger shown in promos when the Nexus 4 was announced? And will it be sold in the Google Play Store as an accessory?

I have not heard anything. Unfortunately Google is know for either being very slow to release accessories or never releasing them. I really wish they would release the orb charger, I would definitely buy one. In the mean time this one could fill the gap until its possible release.

The price is a problem :thumbdown:

If someone starts selling qi chargers for around 25 dollars US I believe they will sell like hotcakes

I think they will start selling for that much in a few months.
This one seems nice and the price is good too. But I don't read Japanese
PS: The charger does not ship outside Japan. But the same seller has the charger for sale on eBay US. Comes to around $73 with shipping!

It seems like everything but the huge energizer charger is sold out on amazon. Is there anywhere to buy a simple one position charger in the US?

The Panasonic one on Amazon Japan (link above) is slightly cheaper. But shipping is extra.

thanks, ordered

Anyone received theirs yet? How is it?

Someone mentioned in the Qi thread in the ATT Galaxy S3 section that he had found a charger for ~$47 at his Wal-Mart. I got the impression it was the LG one, but not sure since that price looks higher than I've seen mentioned for it. However I can't find it on their website.
So... the only source in the US that might be in stock is ATT and Verizon for the Nokia charger. The V also has the Fatboy charge pillow on their site. When I've checked the ATT site, they only showed black--but their store might have more I guess.

best place to purchase oem battery

The battery on my Nexus 4 no longer holds a charge very well. Neither LG or Google directly sell replacement batteries from what I gather. Does anyone know a reputable source to purchase an OEM replacement battery? I'm considering this seller on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-BL-T5-BL..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2a386ff701
but you just never really know what's legitimate these days. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also,
Does anyone know where I can find an OEM Nexus 4 USB cable? I know any micro usb would suffice but I happen to like the aesthetic design of that cable.

LG service centers do provide battery replacements for a cost. I got mine replaced a couple of months back for around $22.

i just bought a replacement battery a couple of weeks ago. got it yesterday and it works fine, but be careful with ribbon cable it snaps easily
paid $19 on ebay for it

I got a legit battery from this guy for my brother's nexus 4. After a battery cycle so far no issues. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-LG-...ptimus-G-Google-Nexus-4-2100mAh-/141174118723

One question, why did u guys replace battery? Burned? didn't keep charge as long? I'm thinking in replacing to have more battery life. I've had my phone for a year and a half and wonder if it will make enough difference to get one

Battery "life" of a lithium ion is around 500 cycles. If you've charged your phone daily, you've hit that 500 cycle mark. At this point, your battery has probably lost up to 20% of its capacity.

I usually go on ebay and i look for the one that was purchased the most

Dude, why would you buy a screen from eBay for 90 euros and don't even know 100% if it's original, when for 80 euros you can buy it directly from LG. I bought one a month ago and it's amazing, plus you have 1 year warranty.

They have an online store for selling spare parts for their phones. Let me find the link and I'll send it to you.

I don't think it's Europe only. On the right side there is a picture that says "Worldwide shipping..." which should mean that they ship spare parts anywhere in the world. If you want to order something maybe try and contact them first if they can ship to your country.

I don't have LG center in my country and buying from LG store online with shipping was more expensive.

Is this legit $242?

I saw the price even lower, here: http://www.xiaomidevice.com/xiaomi-mi4-5-0-inch-snapdragon-801-quad-core-3gb-smartphone-white.html , This site can be trusted?

http://www.honorbuy.com/53-xiaomi-mi4-4g-lte-2gb-smartphone-white.html
i saw this today and i also saw on youtube xda tv saying that mi4 will be available at $299 usdollar and i think its awsome price for the device

where is a safe place to get one from?

Amazon.com, where I got mine

I bought mine from ibuygou.com which is an official Xiaomi reseller and got great customer support from them

Realize this is old but both Oppomart and HonorBuy sell authentic devices.

I buy it yesterday for 200€ here: www.gearbest.com

O can conform oppomart is ok...just bought one for my wife from there

"New" Nexus 5 Listings on eBay?

Seems to be a bunch of listings for "new" D820 devices from China. Does anyone know what the deal is with these phones?
New 32GB stock is getting scarce, but I don't want to do anything foolish.

Where are you seeing these? IF its eBay or Alibaba I'd stay well away

damn, just seen that thing with the Moto G 3rd gen in the URL. I hope it's not messed up! Will receive it the following day(s), so will come back with a feedback

it arrived, it's for the Moto X Play - still, it matches like 98% the backplate place. the original (black) one matches 100% and does not move at all. the one I bought from aliexpress moves half a millimeter here and there. overall looks good, though

Which colour did you get?

not THAT grippy, but not worse than the original (black) one that came with the phone.

I'm looking for a more "premium" back cover. It could be something like the leather one from Moto X (2014). Has anyone found one ?

Hi eXelero,
how long time has it taken to receive your backcover? Do you still life in Bukarest? I'm asking cause I'm living in Germany and alieexpress is in the US. Don't want to wait to long for my backcover

so, the product arrived in about 2,5-3 weeks (as usually). it was delivered from China directly by the "shop" that was selling on aliexpress.

I contacted them on twitter. They said they have no plans to sell the backs individually at present. A shame.

Yeah, I ordered one from AliExpress as well and am curious to see how well it fits in comparison to the original backplate.

For all those following this moto UK now have the backs up for sale. £20. Full range of colours.

Moto UK only ships to UK addresses for those from elsewhere in the world.
Don't get me wrong, props to doncoop for sharing this information
Be interesting to see if anyone has got both the Moto UK back & the Chinese aliexpress version in there hands for a side by side comparison.
Update: I just noticed that Amazon.com now has a source for Moto X Play battery door and they ship to Canada as well as USA. It's about $20 US inc shipping to Canada so I have ordered the Red one and will do a review once it has arrived.
