Where can I find just the external battery charger?

I bought two of the extended batteries, and want to get a charger like comes bundled with the standard battery for them.
I have heard the standard sized battery charger will work (with the exception the lid won't close) so does anyone know where just the charger can be bought?
On a side note, It seems it would had been much cleaner if the media dock had a slot on the back for charging a battery.

I brought this and works a treat, any help?

Saw that, and it would probably work..but I was hoping for a el cheapo charger, without paying for batteries I don't need.

I've been looking for the same thing. I could not find a GN specific charger without getting a battery too. Saw lots of them for other devices though. This phone is brand new so there will probably be a bunch of aftermarket external chargers out in a little while. I did find this Anker Universal. I might give it a try.

Thanks, I picked that up. For that price, if it doesn't work I'll just make it a late Christmas present to someone

I have one of those Ankors.... battery is too big. :thumbdown:

Thank god I got confirmation. The batteries and charger that grizlore recommended is for the GSM version. Just in case you don't know, the GSM battery is not compatible with the LTE, vice versa.

After a couple days it works pretty good. I like how you can use a car charger to charge it, or use the battery to power another USB device.
For about 8 bucks its a good value. The only annoyance is lining up the contacts each time I swap a battery.

They shoulda put a usb connector in the cradle base. That way you could charge your phone and your spare battery at the same time. Kind of odd that they didn't do that, IMHO.

They include a y-splitter with the external battery charger. This does allow you to charge both the phone and external battery charger at the same time.
When I got mine it also came with a NFC- capable stock Samsung battery. $25 total when I got it due to it being half off at the time.
BTW, IMO placing the phone vertically in the external battery charger is not terribly stable. You can set the phone sideways on the external charger, but unless your homescreen rotates (custom ROM feature), then the homescreen will be off by 90 degrees.
Please feel free to click thank you if I helped

Here's one.....
http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-charging-cradle.html

So back to the OP's question - does anyone have this item? I need something compact to charge a spare battery. Need to be 100% certain that this particular item works with VZW EXTENDED battery. Does the door close with the battery in it?
Any help is appreciated. I already bought 2 of these off ebay that claimed to work with i515 batteries and only fit the GSM battery. Sucks because they were $15 each and if I want to return them I have to pay return postage to Korea which is more than the refund I'd get. Long story short, I'm tired of buying the wrong item!

Do you guys know if they make one for the I9250 GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus? This one does not work with the GSM version.

PM me. I have 2 that I bought off ebay that I can't use because I need verizon version for extended battery. I'll sell them for what I paid. Charger only - no box or cables or anything like that. PLus no waiting 57 days for shipping.

Are you referring to the Verizon version? Does it work with an extended battery? By that I mean does the little door close when you are charging an extended battery?

I have the Verizon one. It charges but the door does NOT close completely with extended battery.

Instead of having to buy a new battery charger for every new phone, I just went and bought this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerGen-Mu...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1328708231&sr=1-14
It's a universal battery charger that can be used both from a normal socket and in a car.

[MOD] S3 Wireless Charging Palm Touchstone (Origami technique)

HI all, following the success of my Note 2 Origami Wireless charging mod here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986016
I now present to you the Origami Wireless Charging mod for the Galaxy S3
The technique is very simple and you only need a Palm Pre wireless receiver and copper tape.
The instructions are similar to for the NOte 2, just look at the above link. The only difference is the alignment of the contacts.
I should not have to elaborate on this as the pictures will show you what I mean.
I am currently using a Spigen SGP Ultra bumper case with this mod without problem.
This mod charges the GS3 around 16% to 17% per hour it is quicker than that on the NOte 2
NFC function is NOT affected as far as I can tell.
Here are a few pics:

This is how it looks like with just an original Samsung TPU case....

Well, that certainly looks a lot neater than the mess I've got back there.

Were you able to test the Freq of the Magnetic field while charging to see how much of the field is effected by the exposed Copper trailing off from the Coiled Copper in the protective sleeve, make sure the induction wasn't attracted to exposed copper and run that path, maybe bypassing the circuit board in the black sleeve with the Coil....How the Induction is created is the Receive and Transmitting Copper coils have to be of equal size etc....

I tried this tto, and it was a mess. Drained the battery overnight. Musta done something wrong and am going to have to try again someday...

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like you probably have contacts touching each other where it isn't supposed to. make sure none of the copper tapes are touching

HI all, I have tested NFC and I can confirm it blocks NFC, this may be due to the NFC antenna is in the battery and the wireless receiver sits on top of the battery.
Not entirely a loss to me because I can still send files via direct WiFi.

has anyone done this yet ???

Im going to attempt doing this whenever I get a chance. It doesn't look difficult at all and truthfully I could care less about doing NFC when I can easily take the back cover off and still transfer files via NFC regardless.

I am not sure what method you used but I have done this on two devices and both have kept nfc functionality.

This actually depends on where you put the coil. I think the nfc antenna is around top half of phone. Easiest way to test is by using nfc tags or a pay pass credit card to help placement of coil height/location.

I placed mine smack in the the middle on the phone so it would be centered in landscape and portrait and have had no NFC issues.

Any reason why this wouldn't work with an AOSP ROM. I tried this and got nothing but it could very well need to be redone.

there is no reason this mod will not work on aosp.
check what you did. you probably missed a step or wired it incorrectly.

Figured it out, needed to roll some electrical tape to keep the copper on the contacts.

hi,
i did this mod to my unrooted stock s3.
It works, when i place it on the charger, i got a "bong" and it fharges. But theres no wireless notification.
any idea why?

sorry no clue, but hopefully someone whoi knows more than myself will chime in... does it charge though?

If it is indeed charging then I wouldn't complain at all. I wish I didn't get the pop up saying it's connected to a wireless charging device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

you should be able to go into your system/media/ folder and replace the connect sound with a blank sound if you want to remove the charging sound.
the pop up is part of samsung's os.. but it just goes away after a few seconds, so i dont have any issues with it. I usually drop mine off onto the charger and go to sleep.

I modded my S3 too, finally it is working.
How fast are your charging-speeds?
mine is increadably bad..
When I keep on the screen, it does not really charge, screen-off it charges, but very slow..

I assume this works with any cyanogenmod/ASOP rom, correct?

Does this thing have wireless charging or not???

Like the titles says.
I keep seeing mixed answers from different review sites.

It has wireless charging capability. Which means you will be able to buy an lg circle case and you can wirelessly charge. Or no sung in a few weeks there will be a thousand knock off after market backs with it built in.
It appears likely that most or all models will not have an out of the box back where you can wirelessly charge.

So, does it work like Samsung S5/Note 4 where you need to buy the special back that will give you wireless charging? Does it have special connectors built in under the removable back?

Yep. I'm currently doing that with my S3. Though, instead of buying a whole separate back, I'm using a wireless receiver, like the one below:

As for the connector thing, looks like it since here's a picture of the back of the phone without the back cover from Michael Fisher's review from Pocketnow:

Considering you can buy the circle cases for the G4, I don't see why you can't buy the lil receiver like I have with my S3. I definitely know the S4, S5, and Note 4 for sure had those receivers you could use, but I honestly wasn't aware if the manufacturers of these made them for other devices besides the ones I mentioned.

Ok, now I have to consider this phone. Thanks!
Can't live without wireless charging anymore. Airdock + 3 QI chargers at home + 1 in my office.

No prob. Glad to help.
Haha, I know the feeling. I only even bought the receiver for my S3 since the charging port is all messed up, so this pretty much is buying time before I upgrade later this summer. Not a deal breaker if a phone doesn't have it, BUT it's super convenient and in my case, saves me from having to buy more batteries that'll be useless in less than 3 months.
Speaking of wireless charging, you have any recommendations for battery packs with Qi charging built in? I've seen a few, but I don't know anyone who's actually used one. Just the usual ones you plug into the charging port.

Docking stations (micro usb or qi)

Hi everyone,
I just ordered the OnePlus X coming from a Sony Xperia Z2. One of the things i am really gonna miss is the posibilty to put the phone aside my bed in a wireless charging dock. I bought a QI receiver already but I can't find good/affordable docking stations, only "plates".
Anyone a suggestion for a good, fitting, affordable charging dock (micro USB or QI) please post below.
Thanks in advance :good:

May I know why did you move from Z2? Considering the specs, imo Z2 is a better phone than Oneplus X. Since it has bigger screen & batt, NFC, Dual band WiFi, DLNA, apt-x

It was my business phone and I foun a new job. Furthermore it wears out pockets, Ihad to bring every pair of jeans to the reparation guy in the past 12 months. Other than that it is a perfect phone with great batterylife

As far as I know the OPX doesn't support wireless charging

True, but it will with a receiver placed on the backside which i have. I will update the OP.

Ordered and tested. A short review for the Dutch and Belgian users below:
- Delivery: was fast and good via DHL without additional costs. I ordered it yesterday (Netherlands)
- Looks: clean, personally I really like it
- Fit: is very good, the micro usb is adjustable which is a good thing. It is not that easy to plug it in though. Maybe I need a little bit of training, if not I will order a QI one instead*.
- Charging: to soon to say.
If anyone finds a good looking qi docking or cradle (not a ridiculous charging "plate" like Samsung has for the S6), feel free to post below!

I'm waiting this for OneplusX. I think it's amazing
http://fuzzdock.com

Just FYI, its not that hard to do a DIY dock. Just a heads up. You can make one with just a piece of cardboard, some tape and a MicroUSB cable, Google Cardboard style. I made mine with some LEGO.
Oh and it fits just fine and is perfect for docking the phone by the bed. I don't even need to look while docking.
