Those of you who purchased this, do you feel the money was worth the product received?
I am interested in purchasing this.
Just buy a spare $5 battery.
No need to spend $50 on an ugly battery.
Agreed, I dont see the benefit in spending $50 - 60 dollars on a battery and case (Knowing my protective case wont fit it). Especially when 6-9 (shipped) will get me another stock battery.
When carrying it around, I would use headphone pouch or even a GameBoy game protector case.

where can u buy $5 vibrant batery? I dont think its oem... if it has the same life as the oem..i wouldnt worry.
No its not......I've bought 2 ext. Life batteries and they don't work any better than the standard batteries and you can't charge them with the external charger....I threw mine away and just bought 2 standard batteries.....the big battery was more of an inconvenience

Buy this one instead. I have it for months and battery had never been a problem ever since.

I bought the 2800 mah extended and i love it if u dont mind the bulge! i also have a extra oem battery too
I would prefer the $5 extra battery if its life is almost the sane as OEM. I don't like the buldge on my phone.

Yeah great idea except that can't possibly work. You would never get them to current share using duct tape. You would need to use packing tape.

I would say NO. But only because I just purchased 3 1500mAh batteries and a charger for $11.00 on ebay. Included shipping. They are generic batteries. I purchased a 2 pack about 8-9 months ago and they are just now dying so I think I got my moneys worth out of the first batch considering they were about the same price and they have all been run dead and recharged every day.

It's more of a case with a second battery built in. I would say it provides about 65% more run time but it's not quite a doubling.

I preordered mine and after I did all the math it only cost me 150 after rebate... I'm pretty sure they double scanned the 50 dollar gift card they gave me when I got the phone... I paid cash so they can't change their mind and charge me more later... I'd go back on amazon and get the seido extended battery cause the battery is kinda small
the battery is for the droid eris but they are the same size and everything

As title suggests.. Wondering what people with an N4 already use for their wireless charging needs.
I am looking for something with a reasonably large surface area i can put on my bedside table. (Idea would be just lay phone on it when going to sleep.. but not care about orientation or position). It would need to be flat as i sometimes keep my N7 on there and other stuff..
I'm waiting, 1) the ones out now for the most part are expensive $50+ and 2) all of them seem to have some type of issue
IF I was going to buy one it would probably be the LG but for a larger surface area there is the energizer 2 device panel, I was really hoping the nokia pillow would be flawless.

was gonna wait like you too...but few days ago my local craigslist had a listing for a dual energizer qi charger for $30!...so the wait ended.
I use the maxell one
maxell air voltage
Started with it on the bedside table but moved it to the desk (logic being I'm far more likely to be picking up and checking the phone while I'm awake just plug it in at night)
Happy with it so far but for what it is its too expensive.
Waiting on the m-cloud tilt version which I like the look of. Then I'll switch up where the chargers are.

Is that the same LG charger that is constantly out of stock and not even being sold in some countries ? :silly: It's a good job the Nexus is a Qi compatible phone and we aren't restricted to LG's offerings if we were some of us would die of old age before we get our hands on their chargers.
Using a Maxell here myself, I had a bit of a problem to start with though but once I disabled the daydream feature on android the phone wirelessly charges like a dream. If I ever live long enough to see it I will probably buy the LG Orb for the Nexus as well, that is assuming I live long enough and I have more luck than winning the lottery at trying to buy one.

I really had no problem buying it from Verizon. If it's super imperative, I would buy a few and sell at cost, but is no longer allowed on xda . I basically just walked in and paid $50.
They will order it for you if you ask.

Yep, that's the one. And I agree it's great that the standardized qi is being used. Hopefully wireless charging really takes off and the LG charger is more readily available and the orb is released.
I bought the LG one on sale at Verizon (US) for $50. They also had the Nokia one for the same price, but I went with the LG because it seemed less finicky than the Nokia. I also like the LG's less slippery surface. I may someday want to prop up one end of it, though it's not THAT non-slip. If I had more money, the JBL charging boombox seemed really neat. I just think $250 is a bit steep.
I am using the LG one as well, shipped over from the states (I am in the UK). Stuck it in a travel adapter and it works great. I followed the instructions someone posted here to nix the speaker cos the beep was too annoying and it is now a lovely silent desk companion! The LED is plenty of notification for me

Anyway finally I've got it just need to get this baby unlocked now and I'm flying

It's an O2 thing, they've done some eco-friendly deal with htc apparently. Google if your interested.
That's ridiculous! What's stopping o2 from taking the charger out of the box and then reselling it as an original accessory? What would have happenend if you had come from an iPhone? Would you have had to buy a seperate charger? The mind boggles!
They have teamed up with HTC to do it as far as I am aware. They do sell a non HTC charger thats meant to be more eco friendly for around £7.
The Samsung galaxy S3 charger works ok charging now but I'll have to take off a few quid when selling my S3 without the need charger, it is a bit ridiculous, there are plenty of other ways to "save the planet"

Yeah but what about people who haven't got charger, this means they have to purchase one separately, when you've just spend big money on a phone you shouldn't have to pay extra for a charger.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Speeds also the crucial factor here. Haven't received my One yet but every single phone I've ever used (aside from the iphone actually) charges like a disabled tortoise doing the 100m unless it's attached to the mains.

Perhaps, but we could pretend the cost of the device was cheaper because it had no charger. Although I highly doubt they would make you pay £5 for a new device with a 2 year contract just because it had the charger.
They key might be to haggle a little when you purchased, the assistant thought she was doing me a favour giving me a free One case when I got mine at Phones4U, I did then point out that this was as advertised on the website, but she didn't know that and was willing to throw a £25 case at me.
They have to be careful about this approach though, imagine someone getting a fancy phone like this for the first time, or someone coming from a device like the iphone with a different charger and realizing they have no charger for it ---> pretty pissed off.

i think he meant use the usb cable the comes with the htc with the iPhone usb plug, which would work since the voltage sent through usb's are mostly the same. but i can see why you were confused, i myself had to re-read it a few times before my brain actually switched on
I have a sealed UK charger (which I got with my new HTC One) to sell, since I'm not UK-based.
