uhhh pretty much sounds like it to me, just phone samsung and say your battery is discharging from full in under 5 hours and its a faulty battery. They'll ask for your phone serial number and then SHOULD send you a new battery completely free. At least they did for me now i've always got a spare battery in my pocket incase my phone dies.
I left it charging and its fine now. Im not sure what lasting damage has been done though!
If your cheap and in need of some extra power, I suggest ordering some backup batts from Hong Kong (ebay). I don't know what everyone's opinion on these non OEM batteries are here on these forums, but I have 2 in shipping right now and have read of other threads that they do the job. I just know I wont be charging these batteries IN my phone, just in the charger base the kit supplies.
I've also read some people making the valid point that if your willing to throw down the cashola on this phone initially, then u can afford the OEM batteries.... but I'm cheap

I've also bought those 2 batteries off ebay Quite a good deal actually as I needed a new USB cable anyway. I'll keep the OEM one as my new battery for now, unless I notice it is damaged

The bundle I ordered also has the USB and car usb converter. I've had my phone for 2 weeks and already noticed my damn cat has put a few teeth marks in my stock USB cable Now it's Canadian with some black duct tape.
the G7 batteries from HK on ebay work really good
i've been using them for a month, and they run as long as the Original that came with the phone
even though they might be fake, they run and look very authentic to me.
Thanks for the info, those are ones I have comming in

yup! that happened to me back then with my PalmOS phones
and also Windows phones
the problem is the USB connectors
some times if the USB connectors plugs in not aligned properly, it causes a weird charge & short of the battery, which results in the over heat, ultimately killing the battery.
I am on travel very often and my last experience with my Desire was that when working on the phone with no possibility of charging it, I was left with very little or non battery late afternoon. Any suggestion for a good Travel Battery Pack anyone? One extra charge will do. Thanks
Probably better off getting a spare battery, and charge it up, most easiest way i think instead of carrying aa batteries and charge cases, leads etc.
Just look on ebay and click cheapest first.

Good Luck
Got these Conversions for you for a rough guide
Sunday, May 1, 2011
11 British Pound = 15.91271 Swiss Franc
11 Swiss Franc (CHF) = 7.60398 British Pound (GBP)
Median price = 1.44461 / 1.44661 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 1.44461 / 1.44661
Maximum price = 1.44461 / 1.44661
Hope this helps
i use solar charger it has built in 3000Ma battery you can also charge it from pc or adapter and ready to go with extra power. Have it from ebay for $29
Did anyone test any spare batteries from ebay? Thought of getting some, but not sure if it is worth it or not (the charge should at least be as high as the stock battery's) .
Got this few days ago from a china online retailer. Good construction and nice pocketable size. Slightly heavier than LG2X & about 20% thicker. Comes with 0.5A & 1A USB output.
So far, on 0.5A output, no in-charger lock ups yet - which I do get from some AC chargers.
Priced upwards of US$35. Google for "5000mah Power Bank".
will LG come out with an extended battery for the Optimus 2X ?
If they made 2 models. one like we have with a 1500 battery and one that is 1.2-1.4X thicker with lets say a 3000 battery I think almost everybody would choose the slightly thicker 3000 battery model.
These devices are small enough as it is, they should now stop trying to make them smaller as they are surely limited by the screen size, and make them last longer.
I had a Del Axim X50v a few years back that I brought an extended battery and battery cover for, this actually made the device feel better in the hand.
I think the future is not far... for batteries that are either running on gas or like these ones which can be fully charged in less than 3 min. http://green.autoblog.com/2011/03/23/new-battery-technology-electric-vehicles-recharge-minutes/

Well I order mine, but the version with 1 charger and 2 spare batteries (3 batteries is just plain greedy) We'll see how long they take to get here.
would like an option for dock/ battery charger and 2 batteries from ebay but combo NA last time i checked
Does anyone know of a portable battery pack that charges at over 500mah? all of the battery packs Ive seen are around 500mah and that doesn't seem to be enough to even charge the G2X coming from my old charger.

Only tested twice from over 70% to full on 0.5A. Took longer than using AC adapter. Tried it once on 1A but got a bit hot quite quickly, so I switched over to 0.5A. Also, it takes a while to charge the pack itself from partial empty to full on 1A AC adapter - so I am guessing the 5000mah claim is reasonably accurate.
I bought this item from DealExtreme.
2200mAh Rechargeable Portable Emergency Power with Phone Adapters
SKU: 23734
It works fine, but the input broke after some uses and I had to fix it.
Energizer works best for me... as LG P990 wouldn't last a day with WiFi and 3G active... i have XP2000 and it works great!, the free tip for life is a welcome bonus... I'd post the link but since am a newbie, i cant.
please google Energizer Energi to go or energizer XP2000
I've been waiting for the generic market to start making some charging docks for the Vivid. I just came across this on eBay. Has anyone tried one of these yet?
It's not a bad price at $30, but at only $10 or so cheaper than the HTC version I'm not sure I'm ready to bite.
Thanks,
-Brett.
looks pretty appealing for the price... give us some feedback if you get it!

I had a KiDiGi dock for my Atrix that had an extra battery slot and HDMI out. It worked perfectly and the extra battery slot was a great feature. I think I'll be getting this for my Vivid.
*Warning - Potential n00b content*
OP, that charger looks an awful lot like the RND power solutions dock (would post a link, but I'm a n00b, and cannot)
I took the plunge on the RND about a month ago for my office, versus the more expensive HTC one. It hasn't given me any issues, except that the LED's on the front appear to have no purpose (they are always on, phone on dock or not.) However, this is of little consequence to me, and I'm sure a more electronically inclined individual armed with a soldering iron and a little time could easily rectify this problem if they felt so inclined.
Just my .02
Just received this KiDIGi cradle along with this 2 battery deal and it cost me only 27 bucks.
The dock is nice and is exactly what I was looking for. 2nd battery charger was my main point.
I'm still testing the batteries but at 2 for $8 Im not expecting much, though they are 1800mAh.
The dock came from CA very fast and the batteries came from NY, also very fast. ~5 days each on free shipping.
I will report back on the batteries.
The Rnd cradle, which looks exactly like the Kidigi, can be found on Amazon for $18.99 and is listed as Prime.

FOLLOW-UP:
After using these 2 batteries for the past few weeks I feel confident recommending them to others. They perform equal or better than the OEM battery and they're 2 for $8 with free shipping (At least they were when I found them). No longer do I carry my charger every where, instead I bring these two and I can safely go 3 three days with heavy usage. And the KiDiGi cradle has also performed as expected. Charging both the extra battery, phone, and providing a data connection is all normal.
If you can get this battery deal from the source I previously posted on eBay, from Brooklyn NY, you should jump on it.
EDIT:
Looks like they upped the price of the batteries to $22, still woth it IMO since a single OEM battery is about the same price.

Thanks for that. I'm getting it now.
I don't have it but there is already a vid about this online. youtube.com/watch?v=4jwz6IK2gaY
No USB to HDMI adapter on it, which would of been nice.
I bought this one:
KiDiGi HDMI Output USB Desktop Charging Cradle for HTC ViVid Velocity (LCM-HTVV)
for my HTC Raider from 4ujulian on ebay, and it's great, however it doesn't charge the battery as quickly as a stand-alone charger. The HDMI function requires power from the usb cable that you plug into the wall outlet, which I suspect is the reason why the charge is so slow. But having HDMI out is cool and works simply - as soon as you put the phone in the cradle, it mirrors the phones display to the TV.
Here is a link to one of these units from the same seller:

Motorola is selling this portable phone charger on their website, but there is almost no information on it anywhere (or at least, none that I can find).

Does anyone own one or can they perhaps offer some information on it?
How long does it take to charge the pack and how long does the pack take to charge a phone?

For that price I would look at the New Trent line instead. I got a 12,000mAh battery for $50 shipped from Amazon. It's $60 now (ASIN: B00DUKJ5CQ)
I would guess for a 3000mAh battery it would take around 3 hours to fully charge the battery with a 1 amp charger. Probably 2 hours to charge the phone.
Or these Anker battery packs. That Motorola one is a ripoff.

I was wondering when replacement batteries and battery chargers for the g4 will be available because I won't be able to get the phone until after the free promotion and want to have a spare battery always on hand.
If you have any idea that would help me a lot! Thank you in advanced
Update: I just search on Amazon, I find three sellers sell the LG G4 replacement battery except OEM : Trendon, iVoler, Hyperion,and I also notice iVoler has a promotion about the battery by accident, save $5.00 on Battery or Battery & Battery Charger , so I want to try it, I use the code " 2CK9NFN7" to order a battery and a charger, it takes me just $ 15.99, it's much cheaper than OEM and another sellers, it's a great deal,I share with someone guys want it.

There are actually several options on Amazon now. http://www.amazon.com/LG-G4-Battery...&qid=1436673751&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g4+battery
Or you could just buy the OEM battery and cradle on eBay. Warning though, a lot of the sellers are selling them for $50+, so it all depends on how much you would want to spend.

WATCHING..
One battery is oK
Idea
I have been thinking about purchasing 2 extra batteries (bundled with an intelligent battery charger, on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111714300303?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) in conjunction with the promo extra battery + battery cradle bundle I have on the way. I'd have a total of 4 batteries. I'd love to stop charging my phone itself altogether and save on wear and tear on my G4's microUSB port. What do you guys think? Good idea or not? The bundle off eBay would only run me $18.89.
UPDATE: It was a great idea! I never leave the house without a spare battery, and only plug my phone in when I'm in the car because I use it for music.
Invalid battery message
I bought the TrendON battery on Amazon but got an invalid battery message just after the phone booted. When I plugged the phone into the charger without the phone booted, I got another error message about an invalid battery.
Anyone else have problems with aftermarket batteries in the G4?
Update: I just tried the other battery (the package came with two spares and a wall charger) and it worked fine. So I guess the first battery is bad; the phone handles the other aftermarket battery fine.
I purchased Trendon on Amazon. Two batteries and a charger.
I tried 1 battery in the phone for a few charges. I left the other battery sealed.
I didn't feel like the Trendon battery lasted as long as the OEM battery. I wasn't going to spend hours investigating the issue or the other Trendon battery.
I found a Samsung OEM LG G4 battery on ebay and ordered it for $6 less than the Trendon package, although it was for one OEM battery only, which is all I needed. There were many sellers, but with experience, you can choose the seller you think has the best product. Not 100%, but you can reduce your risks. I only needed one spare, as I've carried for years with all my phones.
I returned the Trendon package, received the OEM battery which worked equal to the battery which came with the G4. After messaging with the seller, I was able to choose the date of manufacturer of the 2 dates available for the battery I wanted.
This is not to say that Trendon doesn't make a good product, but in my experience, I try to go with a spare OEM.
Don't buy Trendon!
I bought the Trendon two pack. Charged them both. Put one in the phone, closed the back and saw a puff of smoke roll out. Ripped the back off to find a hole melted at the corner of the battery and melted plastic on the back cover/SIM card. I think I'll be sending them back. (/sarcasm) Didn't bother to try the other one.

Well that's a little scary! I also bought the TrendOn 2 pack with charger. I've been using them for just over a week with several charges on each. So far haven't had any problems. One thing I noticed is that battery and BMS? temp are always locked at 23.5°C and 23°C when using the TrendOn batteries. Where the LG will fluctuate with usage. Right now BMS is showing 39°C and batt is showing 36°C (while plugged in/charging).
The benefit of that is my phone seems? to charge faster with the cable when using the TrendOn, but this could be a bad thing and potentially damaging to the phone/battery. I pay more attention to phone temp while charging if I'm using it, such as GPS in the car. With the OEM battery I'm not worried as much.
Overall I am satisfied with the TrendOn batteries. After a few charges I feel they last as long, if not longer, than the OEM battery that came with the phone. I bought my phone used so I'm unsure how much usage the original battery had.
