Pocket charger review

My review on the T-Mobile pocket charger/extended battery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AurZw4TZto&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I have 3 different types of these mini, on-the-go chargers that have batteries in them. I really like the one from Tylt though, because it packs more than 5,000 mAh inside of a relatively small profile.

Thanks for the tip.
That looks nice and would be great for extended trips.
Two full charges to a smartphone.
That's bad for the package size that it comes in (5.4oz).

Thanks. Guess I'm incompetent.

work at sprint, and still never seen this, needless to say.. im ordering one tomorrow.. looks cool

I got this one and love it. It's super slim and the cord is built-in so nothing extra to carry. You charge it with a normal micro-USB cord. In theory, 2900 mAh should charge the E4GT 1.5 times but when I tested it, it did a full charge and then charged maybe 10-20% the second time. Quality seems really top notch.

video removed by user. think you could fix the link? thank you!

I chatted with a rep online and was able to get a 27% discount on this Tylt. Same as my company discount.
Should be a nice replacement to my 8000 energizer. I really like that it has a built in micro-usb.

I got this one about a year ago and has been great for trips. 11,000 mAh. It will charge the phone 5 times with a single charge!

from what ive researched, that seems to be the highest mAh for a reasonable price, good lookin out man, i may get this over the tylt.

I got on chat and said I thought my discount was for accessories as well, they said that it wasn't, but it I purchased something, they would credit my account 27% of the purchase price.
Never get what you want unless you ask for it I guess.

on a Sunday afternoon. Not a big deal, but a nice little surprise I forgot about. The pocket charger has an in and out port too so you can put it inline with your phone while charging. The backing is slick (as in slippery'ish, not cool) to I'm just going to stick on my wife's since she uses a case anyways. Just thought I'd share
*Interestingly enough, I went to that QR code or whatever it's called on the back of the cover and it's to a Korean website with accessories for the Galaxy Note.
*************Just to stop the PM's, I don't have this battery cover anymore. It's sold to subvertz.*************

Damn that is one sexy battery door. I would love to have me one of those. Is that for the GSM model or the CDMA model?
I wish I had me one of those for my phone.

That would match the printed circuit board theme I use perfectly. Willing to sell? PM me.

there is no direct link, just search on http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/ for SC-04D many will show up, and you need to use some sites like http://www.shoppingmalljapan.com/ to buy for you.

pm the op and ask him/her to buy for you, he/she lives in japan.

I'm not really interested in turning these around for a couple of $ profit each one. Its not worth the time. Subvertz, you asked first about the one I have so I PM'd you.
I'm not really impressed with the pattern on the battery cover, but if you guys like it, to each his own. Different tastes I suppose. I do like the little battery charger. My wife is going to keep that in her purse as she invariably forgets to charge her phone. I'm sure it will come in very handy.

would be bad ass to have this for LTE with extended batt :|

Two Extended Battery Cases

Guys and Gals,
I found two extended battery cases, currently sold only through Hong Kong distributors, which really tickled my pink ...
Here's the first: supplemental 3200mAh battery built-into an integrated back with front flap and metal kickstand.

}
Here's the second: supplemental 2600mAh battery built-into an integrated case with front flap and metal kickstand.
I ordered the second one and should have it by the middle of next week.
The primary difference between the two seems to be the connection between the phone and the battery (the first is constant, the second is on-demand) and the increased side/corner protection offered by the second case.
They are both available on eBay ... I'll let everyone know how my purchase experience goes.

I would be curious to know if it replaces the back and if that little silver button in the lower right is a power switch. I might end up getting one of these, too ...

but isn't this will make your OEM batter die faster?
and does still able to do nfc and you know those s3 sharing photos stuff?

To you first question:
No, because it looks like both battery cases have a discrete power button -- which means your primary battery only gets 'recharged' when you activate the secondary battery. I have heard that constant-on secondary batteries cause this problem, though ...
To you second question:
I'm not sure if the case enclosure or size would inhibit either of these. I can try when the case arrives and report back ...

I too am curious as to whether NFC still works with those cases since a battery with metal will be obstructing the NFC chip in the OEM battery

No link? Really?

Hmm, it's an interesting alternative to something like this http://www.amazon.com/SlimTalk-Micro-USB-Flashlight-Smartphones-Sensation/dp/B0054U6CEE/
Might be something nice to use on a flight so you can game or watch a movie and still have battery left to call people when you land

Took like 1 second to find those...

I just looked at a bunch of these ebay. For one thing they spelled Samsung wrong on the rear cover Sanmsung ha!
They also all seem to have a max charge rate of 500mA, which means if you are really pushing your phone (nav, videos, etc) the battery won't be a to keep up with the discharge rate.
Seems like a waste of money unless something higher quality comes along.

Anyone have experience with this one:

Given the state of grammar and spelling today, this seems apropos.
Since you're not in a position to accurately assess quality, I will report back.

Motorola Moto 360 to be set ARV $249 ??

Today, Motorola announced an contest seeking some designs from the customers to help it build a better smartwatch and guess what I found in the Official rules ?? In the Official rules under Prizes, it's stated "One (1) grand prize winner will receive a Moto 360 (ARV $249)." which shows that the moto 360 will be up for sale around $249.

ARV = Approximated Retail Value.

Some websites are saying that a China website have a listed price of $450 USD. Take it with a grain of salt though.

That seems too high. Maybe in another country and converted (as in Australia we have these silly taxes) but I would find $249 realistic, being a $50 premium over the others

No idea on a release date. I Heard Aug sometime. Who knows.

Does anyone happen to know the validity of this 249$ price?

Damn that's expensive.

I guess, this is the cost of innovations nowadays

A regular quality watch already cost about 250-500$. I would happily buy this product between 250$-350$.

I have doubts that the watch is going to retail for $250, given that its competitors are selling for $200 (Gear Live) and $230 (G Watch)
Moto does however sell some competitively priced devices, maybe this will follow suit. However, I'd happily buy it for 300-350 dollars.

It's been listed for a while online in my local market for €290, or US$394, including 25% sales and value added tax, which would translate to €232, and US$315 respectively before tax, but with import duties to the EU.

A regular high quality watch will likely last longer. These smartwatches are consumables. Expect to change as often as changing phones, if not more frequently. Although not quite comparable I've been through a few, all from SonyEricsson. The non replaceable rechargeable battery will die, and of course technology marches on so either the next generation becomes more frugal, and hence lasting longer between charges, or slimmer, or more powerful, or all of it, and screens go up in resolution etc. Well, we all know the drill.

Good point and understood but i believe this is not a sony, samsung or lg product. The products of Motorola are made to stand well and last imho. Even if technologically it would grow old by time, a working and quality device would be enough for many of us after the years. I still have a V3 working in mint condition and that was bought in 2005. Bought a droid razr in 2011 which was pristine condition after two years of usage without any kind of protection. This is what i mean about motorola. The frame and the strap of the watch look to be made good quality. I wouldn't like them to market us a consumable plastic device that would break in a year but at least should last for 3-5 years. Hopefully they would deliver this kind of product to us with the 360. That's why i wouldn't want to them to price it cheap and sting me a new cheap made one every year. This is what sony and samsung does. :good:

It happens... Same thing happened with the G2, Z, and a few other devices. Verizon had a BOGO after the initial release of the M8. The case isn't the one with charging and it's a snap on(doesn't replace the back).

First off... Calm down... Secondly. Try calling Customer Care and CALMLY tell them the situation. They might send you one (can't guarantee it) if you just bought it recently....

If you try this, let me know if it works
