Yes he's right, I have 2 knockoff 3500's and 2 seidio 3500's...tbh I really can't tell the difference between the 4. But for me to give you my honest word, I would say get a seidio...

Ill take a look at it. Thanks everyone for your replies. Gonna most likely order one tonight. Any chance you guys know if seidio makes one with the white back? And already running the exact kernal you specified lol.
EDIT: OK so is the knock off worth 10 dollars? Meaning will it last longer than stock, I did not realize that the seidio was so expensive.

I don't think its worth 60 bucks, its pretty much the same as the 16 dollar Amazon batteries with the cover why spend 60 bucks on that junk.

Just cause its branded by sprint doesn't make it better than the Chinese one lol. I can assure the "sprint" branded battery was probably made in China as well lol. The branded one can fail just like the Chinese battery, only thing better about the "sprint" branded one is that you can walk back in the store to get your money back vs having to ship it back.

Let me throw in my two cents... I use work at radioshack when I was three a dumb phone battery standard ran over 70 bucks however cost was less then a buck no joke. Name means nothing only thing maybe less hassle. However batteries are explosive in nature it happens with or without name brands

I figure if I get the 20 dollar one and it does what I need it to do I'm fine and if it stops working or something I'm only out 20 bucks. At some point I might buy the 60 dollar one, but ill give the cheap one a shot.

I was talking seidio...I would never pay that kind of my for 2600 mah

If you're going to buy what is still one of the top of the line phones out there why are you going to go cheap on the battery? They're all a rip off anyways, mine as well get an oem one so you can get it replaced for free if it goes bad. Just don't overcharge it or you mine as well just get the cheap one.

in my opinion the yoobao 3000mah is the best extended battery and I've tried them all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they all came from the same factory, I used to work at Dart Container (styrofoam cup factory) and we made the same cups with several brand names on them.

UK best qi chargers

Hi, I am looking to get hold of some qi chargers in the UK and as Google still see fit not to provide us with any orbs I was wondering from the range of qi chargers available - which is the one to get in the UK?
a little ebay search returns :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n...+wireless+charger+nexus+4&_osacat=0&_from=R40
but there are some mentioned here that you cant get on ebay. I.e. the ones that were given out for free at CES 2013 that someone posted a while back. Anyone have any definate reccomendations for purchasing or should I hold out hope for Google who just never say when they will or will not allow me to buy something from them .

Wondered the same myself since wireless charging unit disappeared from the UK play store

Cool, I just bought one off that guy in Harrow - shame it comes in only white, why White?!
Anyhow - it arrives wednesday next week - will let you know my thoughts on it. I was thinking of doing a mod with it for the car so when Play do actually stock the official one, I can pick one of them up for the room.

I bought the Zens one from Amazon Germany... Although it was shipped to me from Dunfermline (only 30 miles up the road so quite rapid shipping )

What was the advantage of buying from Amazon DE? At the moment its more expensive pre shipping . what did you pay?

and how come on Amazon.de you can get
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00AW8TCSG/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=ce-de
but you cant get that from Amazon UK
I do sort of refuse to part with £50 for a charger though. It seems crazy! I struggled to part with £30 for the other one above off ebay.

Key advantage when I ordered was that they had it on sale... A-UK didn't even have one listed (any... Not just the Zens)

I've got a Maxell Air Voltage one. It only comes with a mains cable, but works well. I stick it on there over night and then in the morning just pick it up and go. It's about £40 so a bit more expensive than the eBay ones, but it works for me.

I have just ordered this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221166419716?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 It seems to be a good price. I will let you know how I get on when it arrives.

If it was me and I was going to spend £40 on a wireless charger and couldn't get the Google Orb one, I'd get the Nokia one. Think it looks coolest.

Cheers
I'm gonna order one but the black is out of stock.
Might just get the white one.

so I went for the £28 one from Ebay. £30 delivered. Its from a guy in the UK who must be importing them from China in bulk.
Its pretty good so far. It uses a 2A 5V USB charger cable. I tried it on my 700mA samsung charger cable and this wasnt really enough to get the connection stable.
It is extreemly slidey - the surface it lays on must be flat as a pancake.
It has a little green led to say it is on and a blue one to say it is charging that flashes.
I doubt I would want this as a bed-side charger.
The car doesnt also offer enough juice to charge using this. Perhaps 1A isnt enough?
Im pretty chuffed for £30. I couldnt ask for more. Ill buy the official one when it comes out as I do want a bed-side charger.

I have noticed it gets very warm. I guess this was to be expected. It is a bit of a novelty, I suppose I would prefer it if this had some kind of small cradle to hold the phone within, and it would be nicer if it was black too.
I might try to mod it slightly, paint it black and put some small mounting pegs on it perhaps?
Who knows...

Should I go for the 4500 mah mugen battery pack?

First I have a question, are battery cases giant charger packs or separate batteries that the device switches to. Reason is that wouldn't constant charging and discharging ruin the battery?
Back to the main question. The mugen battery looks really thick and unwieldy and expensive at $99. I would like to wait for the zero lemon 3100 may case, but it seems like it's not gonna come

i would just go with portal battery pack and charge it when needed. I wouldn't want any more thickness to my phone, bumper is just enough

Extra Battery???

I always buy extra batteries for my phone. Note 3 being no different. I've searched and searched and can't find one being sold yet. That's ridiculous. How hard it is to sell some extra batteries for goodness sake.
I purchased an extra battery kit from Clove online which stated they had them in stock. Turns out they don't actually so don't be fooled. Sometime late October to November I guess. This package will have exactly what I get for all my phones an extra battery (I'm a hardcore user and so I always get two spares) and an external battery charger. Will be awesome when I finally get it.
Anyone else have this same trouble? Has anyone gotten it yet?

They seem to be on par so far. I used Battery Monitor Widget to determine that they are 3200mAh batteries n not cheap knock offs with false mAh advertisement. Unless BMW can't be trusted which to my knowledge is trusted. They're good so far. I like the charger too. Seems to be sturdy unlike the charger some batteries come with. Give it a shot bud. Expedited shipping was only a few dollars more n well worth it. I think I paid $40 in general but it's worth it because they seem to be working well so far
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2

I use Hyperion as my spare battery for S3, it lasts as long as stock and NFC works (although I hardly ever use it)

Finally got my Hyperion batteries and charger. I LOVE them. To be honest one of the Hyperion batteries lasts longer than my factory Samsung one lol. The charger is awesome and will hopefully let me charge batteries in the future since it adjusts to each battery. Crap for instructions came with it but YouTube is full of help for them and common sense helps. All around great purchase and got 2 batteries and an external charger for half the price of a Samsung battery (paid $30 on eBay).
Recommend Hyperion batteries to all.

So that 24 dollar batter was legit..

For $25 I was able to get two batteries and an external charger (~4 hours from 0%) from Anker. Imo don't waste your money on OEM.. LiOn is the same regardless of the name slapped on the label.
