Im sorry guys i ment to post this in Q&A i thought i was in that section my fault

I use the platinum 2x 3500 and it is the best thing. Battery is amazing. Never need to carry a charger. I charge every night and easily goes all day under medium to heavy use. I think my best has been 7 hour screen on time and 20 hours on 3g before I plugged it in. On wifi all weekend it does 40+ hours

Highly recommend this battery. The back plate is a little ****ty but after a few days it settles in. I paid > $6 on eBay.

I have a ns4g. I think seidio sells a specific 3500 for the ns but I am unsure. I don't think the back plate is too chunky on this. There are some butt ugly ones. This isn't. Can't argue w capacity anyways.

I paid......$5.98 on eBay shipped. Random bid, no one else put a bid on it. Got lucky! Most are around $25 for the platinum 2x extended.

They sell the battery and back plate in best buy for I think around 70$.
I've traveled to 4 different best buys here in the Philadelphia area and they only had the 4G version.

First day of use, supposedly it'll get a lot better after a few days of charging/discharging. Used very heavily normally would be dead hours ago, but not as much battery as my old power skin gave me when it worked...

What was your screen on time. The stock battery would get me 2 1/2 - 3 hours screen on time and around 15 hours. 9 were 3g only and rest around wifi.

GN2 Spare Battery Charging System/Stand

I just ordered this with the 50% off coupon:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
To me, it seemed like a no-brainer: a portrait/landscape stand with a spare battery charger built in PLUS it comes with a spare battery for the SAME PRICE as a replacement battery. I've always liked having a desktop dock so i can easily use my phone as an alarm clock, but with the usb on the bottom of this phone, it'd mean that the dock will be in portrait mode. Although i'll need to manually connect the USB to charge the phone while it's on the stand, i'll be able to have it in landscape mode while charging, plus i can use the same USB to either charge the phone or the spare battery.
Can anyone think of any drawbacks of this? I was eyeing the smart-dock, but (besides being out of stock), it lists at $100, so even with the 50% off, it's still expensive and only works in portrait. (I'm going to pick up the MHL 7 to 11 pin adapter so that i can use my old MHL with this phone for HDMI instead, so i see no need for the more expensive dock.)
Has anyone seen/bought one of these or had one for a different phone?
-d

I also jumped in on this deal for the 50% off price and having an extra battery to rotate.
I really want that multimedia dock though... :angel:

50% off? Do you have a special or is it usually $100 for that battery and charging stand?

I got a 50% off coupon code when i registered my phone, but i think there's also another 50% off deal floating around out there:

Charge stand is $49.99 but with 50% off is $24.99, as stated there is a code floating around these forums, or register your phone.
The multimedia stand is $99 but is not in stock yet.

Perfect!! Just what I was looking for... rather than carrying a car charging kit when I travel it is much easier for me to keep an extra charged battery I can pop if it gets low.
But with 6 hours screen time, I don't think that will happen very often!

And now its gone...I have to keep an eye on this because its an awesome deal.

If the dock actually charges the phone while it's docked, it would have been amazing. Otherwise, it's an okay deal for a battery and charger.
You can get the OEM charger dock without the battery on ebay for about $10 bucks

It only charges the spare extra battery.
It does not charge the battery within the phone when it's dock.

I have one for my original galaxy note, however I'm not sure if I should spend the money on this since the battery is so massive in this phone I haven't been able to kill it in almost a week now. Having an extra battery that I would almost never use is kind of a waste isn't it?

You maybe right. Most of us will still have charge left after 12 hours of pretty use. Since the phone is new, I've been using it a lot, configuring, testing, etc. Yet at the end of the day, I am still staring at 40%. But for $25, which include A/C charger, battery charger/holder, and the included battery, it is a hard deal to pass up. It will come in handy on a long day at the amusement park.

I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean my phone has lasted all week long on a single charge haha. I mean every day I'm going to sleep (long 17 hour days) and the phone is still on 20-40 percent depending on how badly I abuse it. The only day I killed it to 0% was the first day I got it because my battery came charged to about 55%

Ever notice looking on ebay for extra batteries look at the supposedly oem samsung battery..Many pictures don't have the watermark sticker on them....It should have them on the top ..opposite side where the pins are. anyone else notice that?

Anyone have a defective battery issue?

So my One has been charging slow, I know, they made a safety feature where is it will charge slowly to protect the battery from losing its recharge capacity.
BUT this is very slow, I mean overnight charging and still 70%!
I called tech support and the dude said going under 15% battery and charging is really bad for the phone, something about this phone has a Li-On battery vs some other battery tech for the older HTC phones.
I work in security and it is very slow work and I'm constantly on the phone and get to 15% quite fast in my 8 hour shift.
I took it to sprint for a radio issue and the dude said sprint will not replace the phone since over 14 days and said HTC will charge me $50! to give me a new phone! The HTC tech didn't tell me any of that because he told me it could take 2 weeks to get the phone back from repair, so I declined it.
So long story short, it takes over 6 HOURS to charge my phone, when plugged in and in use battery will not recharge either!

^^^^ Nail in the coffin right there... Now to call HTC and get a new phone or new battery put in. Really disappointed with the quality control from them.

Both of my one's charge well.
Fwiw:
Assumimg you don't have insurance your true options would be
Pay a Sprint corp repair store $50 and they will test and replace if necessary. 3-5 days
Call and deal with HTC ..??? Who knows timeframe
Sounds like the was a miscommunication somewhere
Tell more though? Stock rooted..many things can contribute to battery and charging issues.
What is the "radio issue"
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I am completely stock. I don't root my phones until I feel they are slowing down.
The radio issue was the "sim card locked" please power cycle error with multiple dropped calls.
Sprint guy fixed that by "tweaking" the radio signal.

I don't think anyone took the time to read your question.
The phone will charge quickly if it is idle and isn't in use.
The phone will charge STUPID SLOW if it is in use. Typically 10 hrs + to recharge up to 100% if you are a) talking on the phone b) using an app (games) that will truly utilize the hardware of the phone. As far as I can tell, this IS a built-in security feature to preserve the life of the battery.
Example: My past phone batteries would get VERY hot when I am talking on the phone and charging it, but it charges quickly. But long-term effect is that the battery dies within a few months.
The HTC One's battery doesn't get hot while it is charging.
Hope that answers your question.

No, even when I am charging overnight AKA sleeping that phone will not get to 100% after I take it off the charger in the morning. Max it gets to is 70%
I'll call HTC again and demand they fix this battery for free or I'll provide them with bad publicity through the internet

High quality cheap wireless charger

Because the S6/S6E uses Qi and PMA you can use either mat. I just ordered 2 of the below ones for only $8.99 each.
With prices that low I thought I would share with you guys.

bestbuy give you free wireless charger when you preorder galaxy s6 but i ordered it on att.com
now i dont feel so bad !

I got the free charge pad from my Best Buy pre-order and I still bought this, the wireless battery bank is pretty much worth it for $8.99, let alone the charge pad as well. I'll use one near my bed and the other on my desk.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't skimp out on a cheap wireless charger. being that wireless charging puts a bit of wear & tear on the battery i would opt for a better one that at least give you piece of mind. the problem with the cheap chargers is they can create unnecessary wasted energy that will create more heat on your device/battery. more heat = degrade battery faster.
here is one i would recommended that doesn't break the bank:
RAVPower Wireless Charging Pad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PY1YBA0/
outputs at 5v @ 1A.
it's $19 and great reviews. protect your investment and spend a few bucks more for a more reliable charger.

Did you even look at the link before posting? This isn't some off brand Chinese charger, it's the Duracell PMA charger that came or with the iPhone 4 this it's muh cheaper due to its age and not quality.

I wonder if Qi or PMA is better for the S6 although it can support both....hmmm is one newer technology than the other? Or are we talking the same charging technology, but with two name tags like Coke and Pepsi?

Thanks for the heads up, this is a great deal for sure, especially with the spare battery pack. in for one.

yes, and it's discontinued which is why it's so cheap,. my local Radioshack had them for $8.
the Samsung will work with either charging technology, but Qi charging seems to be the winning "standard" for wireless charging, almost all newer phones are more likely to come with Qi compatibility rather than PMA. so while the PMA might work fine, chances are your $8.99 discontinued charger might not be compatible with your next phone. Nexus 6/5/4/7, Sony Xperia Z3V, Motorola, etc All use Qi. i would much rather spend $10 more and at least i know it will work with my future phones since i upgrade almost yearly..

IT WORKS!!! I'll test to see how long it takes to get to fully charged once I drop this bad boy down to 50%.

Well how well did it do? Does it get very hot after wirelessly charging for a while?

I bought two of these and just tested one out. Seems to work great and actually charged my phone faster than I thought it would. One huge drawback for me that I'm not sure is a problem with Qi is that it would not charge with my case on. I think PMA requires the magnet portion to catch in order to work and that's going to be difficult with any case.

I fell asleep around 130am and the phone was at 43%, woke up for work at 450am and it was fully charged and not hot or even warm at all. I'm gonna have to do a real time drain and charge on my day off to see how long it officially takes.
Also, I have the Samsung slim case on it and it charged with it on.

Interesting. I have a couple of those Lumia Chargers still when the Lumia 900 released that I got for free? or cheap. Gotta dig them up somewhere but it would be cool to use those if they work. I remember charging the Nexus 4 on it was a nightmare cause you had it angle it EXACTLY right or it wouldn't charge.

Qualcomm Quick Charge External Battery from TechMatte

Alright, so I have a review for the Quick Charge External Battery / Power Bank from TechMatte. I was provided a free item in exchange for my unbiased review that I post somewhere on the internet. Alas, here I am.
So, with this quick charger and my LG G4, it's pretty simple. I charge the quick charger (takes an hour or so to charge it up) and then I just plug my phone into it. It registers as fast charging, and I just let it go from there.
From almost dead, my phone charged to full in about an hour's time. The first half hour was the fastest-- it went from 10% to 60%, and then it slowed down a little.
I have been able to get 2 full charges on the power bank, and then I recharged it.
Pretty basic design; small for it's size. I can easily fit it in my purse, or if you're a guy, you could easily fit it in your pocket.
I would highly recommend check it out-- it's probably going to be a lifesaver for me in the future.
Thanks for the free sample!! BTW, I follow them on twitter-- they post stuff for free from time to time in exchange for a review (like this). It's totally worth it.

Alright, so I have a review for the Quick Charge External Battery / Power Bank from TechMatte. I was provided a free item in exchange for my unbiased review that I post somewhere on the internet. Alas, here I am.
So, with this quick charger and my LG G4, it's pretty simple. I charge the quick charger (takes an hour or so to charge it up) and then I just plug my phone into it. It registers as fast charging, and I just let it go from there.
From almost dead, my phone charged to full in about an hour's time. The first half hour was the fastest-- it went from 10% to 60%, and then it slowed down a little.
I have been able to get 2 full charges on the power bank, and then I recharged it.
Pretty basic design; small for it's size. I can easily fit it in my purse, or if you're a guy, you could easily fit it in your pocket.
I would highly recommend check it out-- it's probably going to be a lifesaver for me in the future.
Thanks for the free sample!! BTW, I follow them on twitter-- they post stuff for free from time to time in exchange for a review (like this). It's totally worth it.

Thanks for the review! I'll check one out!! I have the S6, though, so It should still work for that one, right?
My wife has the G4, so perhaps we both can use it.

What model phone do you have? The Aukey brand quick chargers definitely did not work with my T-Mobile phone.
I saw this one on Amazon and it caught my eye because this smaller than every other 10000 mAh portable battery (who actually needs thst much juice?). I'd like something I could keep in my pocket without being so aware that it's there.

I have the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 battery. I got it on Amazon for about $25. It has a 5.2 amphour battery. It is tiny and it works well.
Using the Q-port I can charge my LG G4 from 15% to full in just over an hour. I 've also used it to charge my tablet, my wife's G3 and my daughter's Nexus 4. The standard port provides up to 2 amps which gives good charge times for any device that can use the extra power.
All in all, a nice, well made and handy device. Well worth $25

Alright, I have the charger. It takes a little longer than an hour to charge from like 20% to full. It's nice and small, and it seems like a good product. Both my S6 and my wife's G4 work well on it. It's a keeper!!

Capacity of the power bank is 5600mah.
Two charges is 6000mah. you must have charged when battery was not flat

Its not 10000mah, its 5600mah.
As to why 10kmah is needed there is at least 25% efficiency loss. So your 10000mah is now 7000mah. Enough for two full charges. Whatever figure you see, knock 30% off of the main figure and depending on which brand maybe another 20%.

I meant OTHER power banks being 10000 mAh, not this one.
I still think 10000 is more than enough. Who needs 2+ full charges in a single day? Being able to top my phone off while in the office or being able to swap to a full battery, it's not even necessary for me to ever require a full charge. I like the idea of this particular charger because it can sit in my pocket and keep my phone topped off when not in use.

I don't see the need for a power bank at all when there is the option of replaceable batteries.
There is no need for a 2 charges in a single day unless you're into heavy gaming. otherwise its handy when you're away from a power source for more than a day.

it weighs as much as the phone. a spare battery is a fraction of that and would fit in your wallet.

I agree with you on that first point. I have a power bank, but haven't really touched it since I upgraded from the Nexus 5 to the G3 and still don't need it while I have th G4. I pretty much use it only to charge my spare G4 battery after I swap or occasionally charge my Nexus 7 when I'm carrying it and it's low charge.
I'm really into the idea of getting a power bank that is wireless charging compatible, though. Have my eye on one from Mugen. I like the idea of just keeping my phone in a pocket and it keeping a charge.

in a pocket means it will move around. these wireless chargers can be quite particular about positioning.
a wired power bank would be more reliable.
i like the idea of wireless charging on a flat surface and having a number of them around, unfortunately in the market where i live the dual sim G4 variant does not support it.

It would be a tight fit, though, not leaving much space to move around.
