Wow! that's quite a mouthful eh?
It's not a charging/sync docking station, that's for sure, i was hoping it would've been for that price $40, but it's worth it.
The package content:
- The pretty Box itself (with the OEM Samsung hologram logo)
- Instruction Manual
- Warranty Info
- Wall charger, micro usb plug
- 1850 mAh spare battery with NFC
- Dual function charging battery base, that double as a phone stand
The battery charge stand can use either the original micro USB cable that came with the phone and plug it to the computer, or you can use the wall charger that came with the stand to plug it to the wall.
The stand will only charge the spare the battery, it will not dock & charge the phone.
However the phone stand is adjustable to sit the phone vertically, horizontally, or leaning over the dock in a variety of position, it sits well on most desk, and it has 4 rubber feet, so it wont slide around.
The phone sits nicely on that glove even when the case is on the phone, and is firm enough to not have to worry about it being knocked down accidentally.
it' makes it easy to work hands off, or make a very nice Clock/Alarm night stand, or even watch TV/Movies, combines well when plugged to the MHL to HDMI connector
The battery charge has a LED indicator that switches from red, amber, green, indicating the level of the battery charge status
the charging pad is very compact, so it's great for travel, and carry around with you for when you want to use both hands to work on the phone, and keep the phone standing up for easy typing, or any other alternative uses you can come up with.
Good review. Looking at your pictures, you did the same thing I did - Use the phones charger instead of the included one.
The charger one looks cheap imo.
I did find that without a case, the stand didn't hold mine the way I would've liked it to. I felt that with it standing upright, it could easily be knocked over with a bump of the table.
yeah, you'r right it holds better with a case than without a case, it does feel a bit lose without a case
i guess when they designed it, they took that into account
it'll be waaaaay too much of a hassle to keep taking the case on/off whenever you want to sit the phone down
agreed, having an extra battery for this thing is great too, as my average phone use would be considered "heavy" according to others. when i leave for the day i grab the dock and my phone and never worry, at night i plug them both in.
I bought this a couple days after getting the phone and honestly don't know why I haven't done this before. Don't have to worry about carrying my charger everywhere with me now.

I decided to go with this package 2 weeks ago and its awesome. It was $49.99 at a Tmobile Store but got 2 $1.99 lanyards for the 30% off swallow for 3 accessories. The D30 case fits sweet withe the stand. I highly recommended it!

Got a question for you, which charger are you using with this? the 1A? How quick is it charging?
I cant imagine you to get too quick a charge if your now charging 2 batteries with the stock charger and partially using the phone.
If it wont charge the phone whats the point of this thing? to just charge the spare battery?
Will it charge the phone once the spare is charged? Once its taken out?
the one at home is hooked up to my PC so 500mAh
the one in the office is 2A
the original 1A that came with the phone is in my night desk
I have 3 and just cycle them in order. If I know I'm leaving for the whole day, I'll just take an extra with me.
3 with an external charger seems perfect for me.

Not sure if you saw my Edit ... i saw you said it will not charge the phone, only the spare battery. Does this hold true even when the spare is full? when the spare is pulled out of the charger? If so im kinda confused as to why it has a USB plug for the phone if it wont charge the phone too.
The amazing thing is... since I've moved to this T989
i hardly need to swap batteries at all now... i've only done it a total of 3 times so far since i got the phone, that's almost a month ago.
back on the Nexus S... LOL i'll probably go through 2 battery swap each day, that's why i always carried spare batteries with me
so now I carry 1 and is plenty.
this T989 is really incredible in battery life

the only time i charge directly to the phone is when i go to sleep
otherwise i'll just let it run down to aprox 14~15% when the Low battery alert pops up, then i switch the battery pack

it only charges the battery, it doesn't charge the phone
i just those stand, as a stand for easy access to the phone
is like having an extra hand
and it doesn't fall down, like those Cases with a build in Leg
I own this as well and can confirm its amazing especially when Android backuping or flashing a rom it holds your phone so you can see it from across the room its a portable stand for your phone that's tiny elegant and lightweight that also contains an extra battery and charges it. Recommended.

Are there different verisions of this external charger?
Are there different Versions of this charger or are they the same.
Will the AT&T GS2 version of this charger or maybe the Verizon Galaxy Nexus version work for our TMO T989 GS2?
On ebay they all look the same and most are for the AT&T ver.
This is the one I am thinking of getting. The description says it works with either but all the other docks/chargers like this on ebay specifically say it will not work for our t989.

Decided to buy the T-Mobile Spare battery charging system from my local TMO store. The one on ebay might have worked but it was in China. I did not want to wait a month for their shipping. Got 3 batteries now. Nice to have the power problem covered. The external charger is nice it charges very fast too.

So suddenly my note 2 running tweaked has started charging real slow then all off a sudden will not charge at all. Ive tried several chargers and now have noticed with or without the battery i can enter only download mode and it will show up on odin but not charge the battery. as soon as i try to restart instead of entering download mode it will try and start but just shut down. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas or has seen this issue? thanks. so considering it will enter odin is it possibly a battery issue,although it will only go into download mode nothing else? thanks again
The issue is not the ROM, I can tell you that much.
I would suggest flashing the stock kernel. If that does not help the issue, you need a new battery. 100% positive. I say that because you claim you have tried other chargers.
i cant check but can anyone else confirm the phone wont work without battery in with it plugged into laptop

It doesn't. You have to have the battery in, even when plugged into a wall charger.

awesome i am currently only 6500 miles from home in south korea.......seems like samsung is pretty popular here. lol everyone has a note2 here i swear. gonna find a battery and hopefully it solves the issue.
I'm having a sort of similar issue.
This is a brand new issue for me. I've been rooted running Jedi X-14 for about 2 months or so now. I went on vacation to Guatemala and that's when the issues started arising. I brought along the same charger I used here back in the states, and it worked fine the first day or two, then new things started happening. It started taking about 5-10 seconds for the Note to realize the charger was plugged in. Then when the charger was plugged in the bottom of the screen (actual touch screen) started becoming a bit unresponsive and laggy. The phone no longer charged as fast as it used to. Then sometimes I would plug it in, and it wouldn't actually charge...it would make the noise recognizing something has been plugged in, but would say "Please Connect charger". If the phone completely died this was almost a guarantee and I would need to plug/unplug/plug until the dead battery icon changed into the charging battery icon.
I'm back in the states now, haven't had a chance to reset/install a new rom or anything, and my phone earlier tonight went dead. Spent a good 2 minutes fiddling with it, it eventually turned on, said no charger was inserted, and turned off. Since then I have not been able to get it on. As soon as I plug it in it shows dead battery, and very rarely it will start to boot up the battery charging symbols (battery symbol with green bar moving), but even if it did, it would do it for 1-3 seconds and shut off.
I'm able to get into Recovery Mode/Download Mode, and the phone will actually stay on as long as it's on the charger (wall outlet).
It's not the battery, as I have another official Note 2 battery (at work currently, and I switched them the other day, to see if the other battery was the issue). Also I have different USB cords/chargers, and they all give the same issue.
From CWM Recovery I was able to wipe Cache/Factory reset the phone, but it still does not boot up. Any advice is appreciated. I can probably get it on when I get my other battery which is near fully charged at work, but I won't be at work for another 2 days or so, so I'm looking for a fix so I can have a working phone in the meantime. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I was able to charge the phone while in recovery mode to about 10%...It then turned on...after a few minutes however the charger just stopped charging the phone. Tried another charger same thing. Tried both chargers with an s3 I have, and they work perfectly fine. Even going back to recovery mode won't charge it anymore.
I was on vacation in Central America and the same thing happened to me. It works fine in the states now.

Maybe its the oversea power grid? If you are using just a wall converter (US to Wherever) and still using your american AC adapter, you have to realize the power grids arent as clean or as constant as they are here in the states and can actually ruin an AC charger. Can you charge it via your PC using the USB cable? I know the stock Kernel has a near trickle charge though but still, it might be enough to charge it for use.
Something to keep in mind, the S3 has a lower power draw than the note 2. The screen alone on the note2 can draw more than 600Mah which is more than a standard USB adapter can output. Thats not counting the draw on the battery from cpu frequency or radios.
Also I can also assure you that bad power grounds cause a touchscreen to act up. I have an iconia a500 that acts up in the same way with a generic charger, yet, with the stock charger it works fine. It has less power filtering in its charging circuitry. I still have ungrounded outlets in my house which cause the issue. Too much interference.
Just a guess as both you and ryan are experiencing similar issues and are both away from home.

I figured maybe my charger from the US I had brought to Guatemala had broken...when I got back to the States, I bought a Micro USB charger from one of those vending machines in the airport (says it's a 5V2 1A wall charger- 2.1A output)... Having tried different chargers, batteries and outlets, I can only assume it's something with the Hardware no? I was able to reset the phone, and installed Jedi Master 14 to replace Jedi X14, to see maybe if something with the ROM was faulty, and that didn't help.
Phone no longer charges in CWM Recovery like it did last night. Phone turns off, and has that dead battery symbol on the screen (empty battery with a loading circular icon on it). It will no longer go any further.
Tried charging thru my computer to the same effect... worst case scenario I have to do a warranty exchange, however I'd like to avoid it as I believe T-Mobile no longer offers the White Note 2 and I don't like the titanium colored one, I'd have to un-root/stock rom/Triangle Away, and then re-root new phone (I'm a complete N00b at this stuff so it's time consuming for me to do), and honestly I'd just to avoid it if at all possible.

Well, its tough to say without using a multimeter and checking a few points, but, a power spike could fry the charging circuit in the phone. Thats the worst case scenario. Only thing you could do if thats the case would be to get a second battery and external charger.

Luckily both can be gotten from eBay for under usd $20. Its probably worth checking asurion to see if they have white ones in Stock. You just have to weigh the cost of a warranty replacement the hassle of changing batteries every day.

I just experienced the same problem with my N2 over the weekend. Went to Bestbuy and got the $50 battery charger and extra battery (Check local availability) price matched to Amazon.com for $30 (with free shipping under more buying choices), brought it home to charge my completely wasted original battery and used the one in the box. Sure enough, it is the charging port. The new battery did the same thing as the old one, it showed it was being charged by the little lightning "icon" over the battery, but the battery was still draining. Although the lightning icon was there, there was no "bing-bing" tone (in the stock rom w/ root) to indicate the cable was ACTUALLY connected.
What is interesting is I think the battery icon shows up as "processing" if the USB pins are connected, but if just the +/- terminals are used in the cord (like the one that comes with the battery dock, not a MicroUSB cable -> USB port -> power adapter that comes with the phone, but power adapter -> MicroUSB) nothing registers on the phone even if it's completely powered down.
Called Tmo today and they are shipping a warranty replacement to me for free, I just have to wait for Ground shipping (didn't pay the $20 for "overnight"). Hopefully it'll come by next Wednesday, as I'm leaving on vacation then. With all this drama on the phone, I actually ended up ordering a Nokia 521 (give old WinMo a try again) from HSN over the weekend as a backup phone for $100. I felt like I was going to die not having a phone for 2 solid days.
Normally they send one out , then you return yours. The battery on this phone is phenomenal, so using an external battery charger and swapping them out would be viable while waiting for the new one to come in the mail id think.
Im hoping these phones dont get usb charging problems often. I might just mod mine to take wireless charging. My s2's microusb port died on me.

I'm actually quite disappointed that Tmo told Samsung to not wire up the wireless charging leads on this phone. I would be totally on-board for wireless charging a'la Nexus or my Touchpad. My Microusb connector wouldn't even see any use other than when to flash a rooted update.
I'm OK with a soldering iron, but I don't want to tear the thing apart to hook them up myself. Seems like it would be a great way to void the warranty, OR disable my Squaretrade warranty.
Just wanted to drop back by since I was about to send back my N2 to Tmo... I unrooted, triangle awayed and finally flashed "clean" firmware directly from Samsung via ODIN.... both batteries are now charging via both USB and Power adapter.

For the CAR charger, the phone keep asking me place the phone in center of Hot Zone.
Or will charge for a few seconds and stops, and charge and stop...repeat.
For the HOME charger, it ask me to place the phone in center of Hot Zone, but once message disappear it charges fine.
I tried a long time and can't find the perfect spot.
Can someone point me to right HOT ZONE on the phone??

Hi, the same thing keeps happening to my g3 whenever I try and charge it wirelessly.
Just to ask did you buy one of the budget qi chargers?
I bought one for £7 on ebay, thing is it charges my Nexus 4 perfectly fine, just can't seem to get a good angle with my G3.
The price was the same as the link I posted. Around 30-40usd each. The charger is fine with my nexus as well just not g3.
Seem to me as though the charger coil on the g3 back cover is very small that is causing the issue.
Sent from my LG-F400S using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I took the cover off my G3 to see if I could see any hint as to how big the coils were or where they were placed but couldn't really see anything.
Did you actually buy your chargers on taobao? I wouldn't trust anything on there to be of good quality.
Maybe the G3 has trouble working with cheap chargers, the proper LG one's i've heard work really well.
I was thinking of getting a better charger, perhaps one with 3 coils see if that makes a difference..
Yeah I got it directly off taobao, there wasn't a good selection of charger when I got the nexus. And especially it was so hard to find a good car charger.
Guess I have no choice but to get the official lg one now.
Sent from my LG-F400S using XDA Free mobile app
I have the same problem with a generic circular one. If the screen is on, the message about the hot zone pops up. If the screen is off however, the charging message pops up. But it does this every few seconds, every time the screen goes off.
If I look at the inside of the cover on mine, I can clearly see the coil layout (you have to look at an angle, under a light) The coil I see looks about the same as a standard one.
The issue, I think, may be down to the NFC coil being in the same location. Qi is supposed to detect foreign metal objects such as keys & coins, and will turn off if they are detected. Maybe the NFC coil is interfering with Qi and the official LG charger has been designed to overcome this issue.
I haven't been able to find the official charger at retail.
Here I have found it on Taobao, the price is pretty steep though about 50USD.

I got the official charger but same problem for me. Says its loading but when the screen goes of it pops back up. The charger is working fine with my Nexus 7. Anyone who solved this problem yet?
I also have this problem with a premium charger I bought for my note 3. Keeps on telling me to put it in the hot spot and then won't charge. Looks like another problem for the g3 and I'm beginning to wish that I'd kept my note 3

This is my second try to get an answer to this question. Does anyone here have a us LG G3? The reason I'm asking is I have seen two different charging pin locations one is the international one which has a space between pins 2 and 3and the Korean version which has no spaces between the pins. I want to buy a charging cover and don't know which one to get so hopefully someone here can let me know. Thanks in advance.
i thought only me have this problem.
im using official LG G3 charger WCD-100, while charging the G3, sometimes charging stop for a second and continue. happen so often. the wireless charging notification annoy me, not sure if charging with random disconnect will make the battery life cycle worse
when charging my nexus 5 with the same wireless chager, the charging went smooth, no disconnect happen
i check the back cover and clean the pin, nothing changes, still got random disconnect

Hi to all!
I just got my new LG G3 phone and starting to familiarize its usage. Though one thing I can't figure out is the wireless charging indicator pops up every after 30 seconds or so. Is there any configuration I can set to disable this?
Thanks!

I'm using a generic charger from dx (the round black one) and positioning is sensitive, but it does work and doesn't keep popping up asking me to reposition it.
I also have a round puck charger and and also one of those Lugalake qi chargers with integrated battery. UK phone.
In both cases the G3 just sits and whines about positioning. The puck thinks it's charging and the battery level increases but the back of the phone gets very hot so I don't think it's 100% right. A hot zone, for sure.

Exact same problem. I am currently using G3 Tweaks Box to remove the annoying notifications that pops up every now and then, but no solution to the actual issue of the phone not charging consistently. Not sure if its the phone or the charger, but am currently thinking of swapping to a better charging stand (the WCD-100 looks pretty inconsistent with the premium look of the phone, plus I'm using a black G3) and hoping that the charging issue would be resolved.
I have the LG WCP-300 and I get the placing message as well, but it charges the phone without any issues. .
OK, goes wtihout saying (but I'm saying anyway) that any assistance in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.
Have the official Sammy wireless charging back cover and a few Tylt VU stands. The phone was wirelessly charging like a champ for months. Then, one day I put the phone on the Tylt and... nothing. The phone did not recognize the charger and the charger light cycled between a 2 second steady green, a red flash, and then a 2 second steady red. There were no hard drops of the phone on the day it just stopped working. Nadda. Nothing. Which is actually surprising since I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old. I can confirm that the Tylt chargers themselves didn't start pushing up daisies all on the same day because they still work just fine with my wife's S5, also with an official Sammy charging cover.
Here are the steps I've tried to fix/find the issue...
Reboot the phone
Different Tylt VU
Pull battery, wait a while
Pull cover, re-seat
Pull cover, raise contacts in phone with a pin
Wipe and re-install ROM
Threaten to kick the dog
If I put the back cover on the stand by itself (no phone) I get the same exact sequence of error flashes from the Tylt. No clue what this means. Does anyone know how to test the back cover itself to see if it is still working as expected? I have a multi-meter, but not sure what pins to check at what setting
Very Interesting! AND annoying. Exact same thing happened with me from last few days. I thought it was a problem with my Mudder coil as my Lumia 920 was charging properly. I then ordered a Samsung official s-view charging case. Hope it is not something that's broken.
I fear it is too much of a coincidence for same wireless charging problems for 2 different random phones.

It's possible the coil in the charging cover has developed an issue. Did you contact tylt about that led pattern? It might mean something.
If all else fails, check on amazon; the are tons of inexpensive (under 10 dollar) wireless charging pads you can but one and try it with the stock cover and see if it works. If so, your coil in the sammy cover has bit the dust.

I get a weird behavior when my G3 reaches full battery while wirelessly charging. The phone and charger connect and disconnects about every 3 seconds.
For comparison Using the same charger with my nexus 5 my phone would stay connected even at full capacity (I'm sure it has a internal safeguard for overcharging rather than disconnecting continuously)
I'm using one of those aftermarket qi wireless charging stickers.
(edit) I ended up buying a OEM LG battery door with qi built in. I get the same result. It's the phone.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution?
I have not. I bought an unbranded LG back plate and am using an old nexus 4 orb without any issues. I do not get the "battery 100%" notification, but on the lock screen is says battery fully charged every time I check it, all without any sounds during this time.
Now I'm considering just buying a OEM battery door. ****ing Hassel and waste of money to get the removed functionality back in this phone

At least your working... Mine is broken i think.. I have 2 unbranded orb. Charging commenced for 2 weeks. Then suddenly it cannot wireless charge anymore. I think my back cover is broken...

My concern is for the health of my phone's battery.
Just get insomnia. Then your phone won't stay fully charged that much. LoL I get a new phone a lot so I doubt the batttery will be a issue for me.
I have this issue with the factory USB charger, as do many others. I think it's just something they're going to have to patch out of the software.
I called LG support. They gave me the usual run around. Not to be racists but it was a Indian call center. I could tell that they have never even held the phone on their hands before and they were just reading through the typical responses.
One guy said it was similar to bluetooth disconnecting and re-connecting. I told him please transfer me to someone who knows something about phones. Then I got a girl who said pull the battery out and put it back in. This is the best support I could get...
Sounds like Sprint. LoL
Is my problem a isolated issue? I don't get much feedback from G3 owners
What battery app are you using to see that it disconnects and starts charging again when full. Do you charge the phone when you sleep? Can you charge the phone some before you sleep and then when you wake up? I'm thinking it would take a year + before you have any battery issues if any at all. I think it's software related and who knows if and when it gets fixed. If it bothers you that much why even use wireless charging?

First I use lightflow to show my charging/charged led indication. Second my actual wireless charger has a led charging /not charging indicator.
All abnormal behavior compared to my nexus 5
This happened to me once but it wasn't while the battery was full. I turned off the phone and took the battery out and after it restarted it hasn't happened again since.
