The Nexus S Has The Worst Accessories And Support Known To Man.

Title speaks for itself. Samsung needs to step it up as well as third party distributors.

I never bother buying tat for my phones so I cannot comment

I agree but it is what it is. You cant complain, they need to make things that are going to sell and unfortunately there just arnt enough ns users to be worth the bother of making a bunch of accessories.

I told a friend of mine which phone I was going to buy. He didn't know what the 'Nexus S' was. I told him that it was like a Galaxy S, and then he nodded. After that, I showed him some pictures, and he lloved how the Nexus S looks!

I am totally against what OP said.
I have batteries granfathered from Behold II and Moment and they work 10000%.
Soft and hard cases are available now.
I don't worry about charger because it's microUSB.
It doesn't have memory support so you have one fewer headache.
What else do you want?

i was in the apple store getting my computer diagnosed and the guy was like is that a nexus s and i said yeah and his eyes lit up. it seemed he was more excited about the phone than me. i said what phone do you have (being smart) and he pulled out a nexus one secretly. lol

Bionic and extended battery..

Let me tell you that it feels and looks good. Its not as bulky as others I've seen. Its like having my tbolt back but just a little less on the weight side. And the kick stand (which I rarely used lol)
Just thought id share this for people who is considering buying the Verizon extended battery.
Its worthed. Especially for the sale price.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Extended battery with the kickstand case is awesome and fits perfectly in the car dock with the case still on (just have to remove the insert). The Bolt was a heavier phone than the bionic and the bionic with the extended battery is about the same weight as the bolt. I will now see how long it lasts as its about an additional 1000 mah battery and for $20 bucks (50% off at verizon wireless on extended batteries) cant be beat!

For me, the extended battery makes the phone more balanced. With the standard battery the phone was top heavy and feel as if it would flip and slip out of my hand.
The icing on the cake is that the batter was half off.

You were ONLY amazed? I'd be freaking out if my phone lasted half that long. You must not use it much, lol.

I'm a little hesitant to grab this, I think the Bionic is pretty sexy as is, I don't really want to turn it into a tank. But if I find that the battery doesn't last long enough, I'll have to order one of these babies up.

i just went to the store they said it was 49.99 but after they actually check the stuff up and finish it. it applies the discounted prices of 24.99 so tax is 27 something. for some odd reason its not known by the employee and its sad we know more then they do.

I took my phone off the charger Sunday morning 8am and didn't put it back on the charger till late Monday night around 11pm with 10% battery left. I used it to text all day both days.

Well, it is a Ford....
Seriously though, pop to your local motor factors or even a weekend market that has a tool stall, and get yourself a cheap extending wheel nut wrench, most have a reversible socket (17mm/19mm, or 19mm/21mm) that makes undoing even the tightest of bolts a doddle.
I used to have a Laguna II with the 1.9DCi engine (prone to turbos going boom), who's ECU was running Windows ME, or at least that's what it felt like with the number of times I'd have to reboot the car to clear a fuel injection fault, normally on the motorway so I'd be on the hard shoulder, where the £150 a corner tyres would find every single nail they could, normally near the edge of the wheel so they couldn't be repaired.
One night that springs to mind, I was heading up the M1 just south of MK after doing a 12 hour shift when the error occurred.
So I pulled over, got out the horrible scissor jack and the car slipped it's handbrake and the wheel fell on the jack snapping it's arm.
It was about 11pm so I phoned the AA and got recovered to the Coachway at Jnc 14. The recovery lorry didn't have a jack small enough to fit under the car so had arranged for a patrol van to meet us there. Unfortunately as it was coming up to home time for the patrol van driver, he "misunderstood" where they were meeting, so went off shift, meaning I had to wait until 1:30am for a local recovery firm who had the post-midnight contract to come out and fit my spare wheel, so I could then carry on my journey up to Grimsby. Not a good night.
Of course, had I been in my Xantia it would have been a doddle to change. Handbrake on, slacken wheel bolts, set car suspension on high, get spare and jack out from under the boot, extend the jack to fit snug under the sill by the wheel that needs changing, set suspension on low and watch the flat wheel lift itself off the ground making removal so easy.
No heavy lifting required

And this is why nobody likes American cars.

Why did Verizon choose to disable Wireless Charging capability?

We all know that Verizon has made some pretty asinine decisons over the years, especially in regards to eliminating certain funtionality and features on their phones.... but for the life of me I cannot figure out why they would choose to essentially "cover up" the wireless charging capabilities of this great phone!
Do they actually NOT want to make a boatload of ca$h on special NFC/wireless charging battery covers and charging mats???!!!
There is no rationale behind this that I can think of whatsoever!
In case anyone wants to know the reason for my frustration... the Verizon version of the Note II has an inner cover that covers the wireless charging contacts (the inner cover is what is exposed when the battery cover is removed). The AT&T version has fully functional wireless charging capability out of the box...minus the battery cover & charging mat.
This problem can be remedied with a little tinkerinh which involves removing this inner cover, but the sad thing is that none of this extra work should even be necessary. Plus... wouldn't it have actually been more cost effective for Samsung & the carriers to use the same components wherever possible? This was an unnecessary variance from what should hve been the standard.
Just pretty crappy that this flagship device is missing this wireless charging feature that continues to grow in popularity industry wide.
...Maybe Verizon is counting on the micro-USB port life expectancy being just about when the warranty is expired so they can make their money on people needing new phones before they're due for an upgrade!
Sorry guys... had to vent. I definitely have a Love-Hate relationship with VZW!

wow no kidding

I was actually in the store to hear first hand why. A customer coming from an iphone (he announced) was interested in the Note 2. His friend had the ATT version and he was excited to have a phone that could do wireless charging.
customer: I want to get the note 2, does it come with the wireless charging accessories or do I have to buy them separate?
verizon salesguy: The Note 2 doesn't have wireless charging built in, but the New Droid DNA does, let me show you.
customer: okay!
word for word. So frustrating to see their evil BS work. They make money licensing the "DROID" name so they make more money from droid phones. Horse droppings.

To be fair doesn't it take about a decade to charge the note 2 wirelessly?
I don't like using 1a chargers on mine because they take so much longer than the stock one and as far as I know wireless charging supplies even less than that.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I never thought about the Droid DNA being a possible reason for them to intentionally disable this feature, but knowing how VZW likes to promote the Droid line as the preferred choice, that does make sense.
I agree that wireless charging a 3100mAh battery will take a lot longer. I would think most people would use it as a bedside charger while they're sleeping, or at work, if they have an office job.
It would be very convenient to not have to fumble with a micro USB connector, especially when lighting is poor, or when you're picking your phone up every several minutes while at work.

I use wireless charging with my AT&T N2 and it charges from 40% in a couple hours.. I only charge at night when im sleeping though so as long as it charges within 6 hours I could care less.. and I wake up at the 4 hour mark and its at 100% so its fast enough for me... and slower charging is actually better for the battery. I understand if you needed a quick pick me up why it wouldnt be good.. but im a HEAVY user and with the N2 and its massive battery, ive never needed to charge it during the day... so for my needs, its perfect.

At the verizon I went to my rep tried the same thing on me. I went in specifically for the n2. He asked me if I had seen the dna, I said I heard of it and saw a couple of reviews on it. He asked if I wouod be interested in that instead. I said does it have a 3100mah battery, a stylus, removable battery or a micro sd slot... he said no. I said might as well get an iphone5 if thats the case. I came in for the n2 and only the n2.... couldnt be happier...... fyi. I finally convinced my wife to ditch her icrap5 and take over my s3

Well that explains the extra time until they released it. I wonder if the contacts are still there under the plastic?
Also, why don't they put wireless chargers in dash mounts?? Seems like a no brainier there.

There are a couple youtube videos showing what needs to be done to re-enable the wireless charging. The contacts are definitely there under the freaking plastic cover. They do not appear to be "raised" contacts like on the AT&T version or the Galaxy S3, but they are indeed there.

Sprint version does not have it either.
Maybe the cdma versions were built in the same place

If I'm not mistaking the one on the left is the International version and I believe the round connector might be for the radio.

You can actually do 2 things.
1) Buy the housing from the ATT/International version and replace the VZW one with extreme ease, and then you can solder on contacts and make yourself a Qi compatible back cover.
2) Just get some copper tape (I think is what he used) and then get the Palm Touchstone or whatever and the Palm door and do the same minus replacing the housing.

Just an idea, but do you think it's possible to drill a couple of precise holes through the thin plastic inner cover to gain access to the contacts directly underneath? And then drop in some spring pins?

Yes if you do it really careful and do not damage the circuit beneath. ..there is a video on YouTube showing that it does work. .

ok first of all vzw reps do not sell the dna over the note2 because they get paid more and vzw hasnt asked them to offer the note2 over the dna, what most likely happened is a biased opinion of a rep, a lot of reps in my store for some reason like the dna more, there are reasons its better but but there also reasons its not, and on the issue of the charging who knows why vzw didnt include it, but the s3 wireless charging took a while to come out too, just be interesting how they do it though since pins are covered.

Not having access to the wireless charging prongs really REALLY angered me when I took the back cover off my brand new Note 2. After seeing the international version, I was all excited to implement magnetic charging. I was shocked and angered when I didn't see the prongs!! Will have to decide if I want to crack the phone open and figure out an alternative solution....the frustration!

Too bad stock limits charging to 460mA. With cm or different kernel can bump that up to about 700mA. I wish the phones could go up to 1000mA when wirelessly charging.

Of course not. Do you honestly think for one second that Sammy, or any manufacturer, would let you use the same accessories without buying new ones? Lol [emoji12]

Well, I guess it was wishful thinking.

I was joking when I said that. Didn't mean to sound like a jerk. Just so you know. [emoji2]

Output is just 600mA... That's a piece of crap and really expensive... I always get 1000mA pads for $8-$12 on ebay... (usually are blue too, but with 1000mA... Honestly...

Hmmm, if what you are saying is correct, then except for price I didn't do so bad! I'm not sure if I will be flashing any custom ROMs or kernels, but it is something to consider just to get wireless charging a little faster. Why is there a limit, is it due to safety issues?

Actually there was a Kernel for the Note 2 that was modified to 850mA... Anyway... That's a really good question about the limit... Also, if you get the 1000mA pad you also have to make sure that the charging station also gets to at least 1000mA... (almost all of the cheap ones on Ebay also go up to 1000mA) But that's something to consider... In case you get the 1000mA receiver pad but your station is just 700mA...
Also @RaymondPJR...
If you got it thru amazon, you can just cancel order... Go to my orders on Amazon and you will se a Cancel button... Specifically on orders that will not ship until later... (credit card is also not charged until shipment) Just a hint that you probably already know... in case you really want to cancel...
I am 100% sure the pads I am talking about will show up really soon on ebay. I am a huge fan of wireless charging... Lol

Back in the day I did my own Wireless charging mod for my S3 and bought a receiver pad from Verizon. It was for one of the Lumias, I think. It shouldn't be too hard to find out what it's limit is, although I suspect it would be at the lower level. I think I'll just keep the order, however, I don't mind what Ive paid for it.

I was just wondering whether the wireless charging receivers for the Note 3 can be used for the Note 4. Does anybody know?

You know how Sammy is. The phones accessories aren't compatible with each other (For money of course). The batteries are all different shapes and sizes so that no battery can be used on another Galaxy phone.
So no, they aren't compatible.

I'm having a change of heart since I saw a totally round Qi charging puck for only $22.00! It's beautiful although I haven't looked up it's specs yet. If development were moving faster it would be easy. Here's to a successful custom recovery real soon !!!

So, it wouldn't matter if my charging puck is only 750mA; I can use this one and get a max of 750mA? What are the shipping time and charges for this?
EDIT: What...free shipping? How long?
