So we've established the battery is poo so what I need is a portable charger, as small as possible that will give it one charge.
Any ideas from you kind people?

what it is bro
anker is a safe bet
I am looking into external chargers as well since you can replace the battery. I think I saw some Duracell ones on amazon as well, but thanks for the Anker suggestion!
I'm aware of their existance, what I want is effectively a "mini" one. I need it to be as small as possible but give the phone at least one charge.
Most of the ones ive seen on the net and on here are large and have large capacity
I will buy this one :

Hi,
I was charging my Xoom yesterday and my dog ran around and tripped on the cable. The charger bent and wouldn't work anymore. I bought a new charger thinking that was the problem, but it won't charge either. I assume that the port itself broke somehow.
It's the WiFi model, i bought from Best Buy without any protection plan. Does anyone know offhand what the cost of repair would be via Motorola and turnaround time?
Or better yet, some other way to charge it? (i wish the mini USB would work)
Thanks
Put the dog up for adoption.
Go to motos website and jump on a chat to see what they say.
Don't put the dog up for adoption.

I posted it on the Moto forums, thanks. Also, I heard the dock charges it without using the normal port, is that true? Would that work?
I too was going to suggest the dock. I am fairly certain it charges through the USB.

Thanks, i'll do this, but can anyone 100% confirm that would work in my situation? It would be greatly appreciated.
Dock will charge it. It charges through the exposed metal sockets you see on the bottom, not through USB. But it will work I have one.
Cheers.
You should go to ifixit.com and look for a teardown. Try and find the part on EBay or see if you can order through Moto. That sucks.

The dock is/was on sale at BestBuy. That's your immediate best bet.
But that's a big inconvenience. I have the dock and I think I only used it once. You'd have to have a boner to be able to rest that dock on you when you're using it in bed.

Just a + 1 for confirmation.
I find the crappy little charge port & jack to be one of the VERY few cons about the Xoom. The 2 gold plated connectors at least offer hope that I could fabricate another charger (apple laptop style) if ever necessary.
Do you think the Nexus would be compatible with this: http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/bundle...5_1352951281_943abe706d6d6b649f154f0e4db00ac9
Usually it requires powercubes, but because the Nexus is Qi compatible, does this mean we can use it without.
I believe not. Last time I checked Powermat have not made any QI compatible chargers.

As discussed in many Nexus 4 Accessories threads the Nokia one sometimes works but not always, the LG WCP-[something] does work and is on amazon, the Oregon Scientific time and charger works and as stated above the Energizer Qi mats work.
Take a look thru these threads.

Thinking about getting a MT4G off CL. Just wondering how this phone is. Any annoying issues that come up when moving to CM?
Thank you!
CM7 is most stable. I think CM 9 & 10 are good too but have its issues with full hd recording etc. The Sense 4.1 ROMs are great too.

Just snagged one for 60 bucks off CL.
Load up Synthetic's Aospx ICS ROM and you'll be good to go.
I ended up rooting and getting S-off.
I just went with CM7 for now. Seems to work fine.
One thing I am wondering is: I have a 4GB nand and CM7 is only using a little of a GB of it. How can I reclaim the rest of that space?
Does Synthetic's Aospx ICS ROM have WIFI calling? I hang out in basements a lot!

Sure, my phone was at a 10% charge when I got to work. I plugged it into my USB cable on my PC. and left it charging for 6 hours and my battery is not at 60%.

Let me point out that the wall charger outputs 5V DC @ 1A, while a USB port is rated at 5V DC @ 100mA, or 1/10 of the wall charger. Still, that seems a little slow. Did you flash at 100% battery?

Just a small correction - standard USB(2) port output is rated @500mA, and USB3 port is @800mA.

Thanks Jack. I promise I read 100mA somewhere years ago. Gotta love all that misinformation out there. I remember thinking, "How do they get all these devices to run on 100mA?" Makes sense now.

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

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.

Hi guys,
Got my Z1 Compact from O2 and they don't provide chargers.
Could someone do me a solid and tell me what the output ratings are on the charger which comes with it?
I'm currently using a Nexus 7 charger which has a 2A output and am a bit concerned.
Cheers

Hi, I'm using the same charger. The phone should regulate itself and only suck in what power it needs, a 2A supply shouldn't be an issue for it. If the phone can only accept 1A then that is all it will accept from the charger.
The Stock charger is rated 1.5A. From the looks of it, it is the same charger included with Z1.
So is the retail box for the O2 Z1C without charger looks the same as normal Z1C?

They would have to. They committed to this nonsense.
The chargers they sell in store are just generic stuff. They don't keep stock of actual Xperia chargers.
