It seems to me that if all of the defective batteries were in Asia (as it appears from News), then we are dealing with both a different processor than the one employed in North America. Believe US has Snapdragon and rest of World Exynos. There is a difference, I have read, between the ability of the two processors to "regulate" voltage and prevent battery from overheating.
Secondly, we have A/C 120 current in the States - believe that Europe and Asia have D/C 220.
So, unless the defective batteries were found both in States and Euro/Asia, then perhaps it is the processor and/or the type of current that is exacerbating the problem(s).

What type of batteries? Replaceable, I can go to my local Walmart and get some? Are they in that hump?
-CC
10-14 hrs battery life on 4 D batteries... not bad
4 D cell batteries? Any image showing them or how they get put in?
I'm interpretting it as meaning that the battery can be replaced fairly easily by the user if it starts loosing the ability to loose charge.
As in not something you would do every day, more after a year of use etc.
Just speculating though...

It would be good if the batteries were swappable as in 'Nokia Battery' sense rather than when they are worn out sense. Still, just being changable yourself with Notion Ink approval is a good start.

Thanks for the image, its interesting to note that there is alot of space between the motherboard and the ports, one of the reasons why the bezel is so big is because Rohan mentioned that was due to the ports. But it looks like it can have gotten a smaller bezel by positioning the ports all to one side or at the bottom.

The only lithium batteries I know of in the round configuration are A123 brand batteries. They are lithium, but slightly different chemically. They run at 3.6v nominal as opposed to 3.7v, but are safer, more stable and have longer lifespan before needing replaced. I would know for sure If I knew the voltage of the battery pack.

Better Batteries.
With the pictures in the latest 'Factory Shots,' these cells look like standard 18650-style cells. I have seen unreliable claims of up to 3.2Ah per cell for a Chinese cell. And a more reliable 2.9 Ah for a Panasonic cell.
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...ells-NCR18650-2-9-Ah-2900mAh-wholesalers.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...lithium-battery-3200mAH-3-7V-wholesalers.html
The Adam's 24.6Wh cells correspond to less than 2.2Ah cells. This means that we could potentially upgrade Adam from a 6-9 hour device to a 8-20 hour device.
Does this void the warranty?
According to several news sources today, in response to questions regarding LTE compatibility, T-Mobile has stated that their GS3 uses an MSM8260 SOC rather than the MSM8960 everyone else is getting. For all intents and purposes, the MSM8260 is a Snapdragon S3. This is contrary to the A15-derived Snapdragon S4s (MSM8960) in all other US GS3 handsets.
If what I wrote above is true, then the T-Mo version of the GS3 is a gimped device - more like a refreshed and slightly larger GS2 with an HD AMOLED screen.
Since I'm a newb with less than 10 posts, I can't provide external links to my sources. However, Google "tmobile GS3 LTE MSM8260" and you'll see the CNET article I'm referring to.
I did read they decided not to use LTE on the GS3, I haven't heard anything about a diff processor though. This is CNET, not the most reliable source...
It does seem unlikely to use different SoC with the early hackers indicating that AT&T and T-Mobile are ROM-compatible, but I guess somebody will have to step in with some real proof.
I really hope I'm wrong with my previous assumption.
I forgot to ask, but could anyone with a T-MO GS3 post a screen shot of your processor specifications using a diagnostic application? I'm really curious to know whether or not the T-Mo handset is using an S3 or S4 SOC.
If it's an MSM8260 (S3), then I'll stick with the GS2 for now.
on android system info the board is listed as MSM8960. This info is taken directly from the phone itself. Also, Samsung and T-Mobile contradicted themselves in the article. T-Mobile spokesmen have been wrong before.

Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to know that I've been proven wrong in this matter.
It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me when I read that article - afterall, why would T-Mobile insist on using the SGSII SOC instead of the newer Krait SOC again in their flagship phone?
Edit: Just saw your screen shot. Thank you again.
pheewwww, you guys are giving me a heart-attack with all these "bad" news today.
Lol I heard it was a different soc model number vs the lte version but the cpu and gpu are the same. No scorpion core.

Sorry about that. We were discussing the matter of LTE on the T-Mo forums when I noticed that the CNET article stated the SOC in use was an MSM8260. Thanks to this forum, that misinformation was quickly corrected.

No, no, no... You want the HDC I9300 Pro... It has the MTK6577 processor that goes to 2.0Ghz and has 1 Gb or ram... Its also dual sim (if you want it to be) with a normal sized sim &/or a micro sized sim. Or 2 normal sized sim if you want. White or Frost Blue. And only $210US... What a bargain....
Might be nice for a novelty, if you have a spare couple hundred floating around but I have other things to spend my money on...

I guarantee you it's more like .8MP. I've seen China phones that were 12MP but in reality were 1.2 at best.
And if you've ever used a decent smart phone, let alone an S3 you would definately notice the difference. The knock-offs are horrible to use.

It can be an 8MP sensor but if the processing sucks it'll look like a 0.8MP shot.

The one the OP linked has an official Qi logo on it, which is supposed to mean it's certified. The one you linked doesn't, which usually implies it's not certified. Pretty big difference there (even though our pre-rev12 Nexus 4 phones aren't certified).

Except in the description it says it's qi certified. And the logo does nothing for qi certification and it's absence doesn't mean anything since one of the best wireless chargers, the wcp-700, doesn't have the logo. I'm sure it's against copyrights or whatever to use the logo without certification, but every certified device clearly doesn't need to use to logo. But the guy simply said that the fast tech chargers looked nothing like the one in the OP, and it's pretty obvious the one I linked to is basically identical except for the logo

Has anyone tested that $40 one (http://www.fasttech.com/products/1215400) with the Nex4 and can confirm it works with the bumper case?
This $40 one is USB powered and output 0.7 A vs. 1 A for the other $36 one (http://www.fasttech.com/products/1142301), i wonder if it has any impact on charging time and capabilities and if it has an issue with topping up the battery?
So I'm ordering the phone from the UK which means the charger won't work for me here in the US. I was wondering if this samsung adaptive fast charger is the same that comes as stock in the US model, I don't want to miss out on Quick Charge 2.0 so I gotta make sure this one's right otherwise I might end up with a slower charging phone than my current N5 which charges very fast.
These all say output is 5V and 1amp? How does this compare to a wired charger?

It is. Even in the USA, with your lower voltage plugs, it's still 10x what fast charging bricks drawer. Should have no problems at all.
If you try and use 1 with a plug adapter, just make sure it'll pass it through at the correct voltage (although I dunno why it wouldn't). Or you could just order a US charging brick fro Samsung. It's all good.
I'll be using mine in the USA towards the end of the year. So I'm curious to see if if it's all good for you.

I can get the same US charger for like 8-12 bucks from Amazon/Ebay so I think I'll just buy that since I don't plan on going to Europe any time soon. And yeah a plug adapter would probably work but I think I'm better off with the US plug charger since it's pretty cheap.

That's the best idea. The brick you have is for UK only, not Europe anyway. They use a 2 pin plug in Europe, but instead of flat pins they use round.
Whereas it's 3 for the UK because we earth all our plugs, so the long pin goes in first as it's the earthed one.
For sure for the sake of 12 bucks.
