Amazon 2 X 1500 Batteries

Has anyone checked this deal out at all?
2 1500mAH and a charger for $29.99
Dan
Update - The seller has now raised the price by $5.

I haven't seen it before. But, two batteries and an external charger for $30? Can't beat that, just bought it.

Let me know how it does.

Will do. Ground shipping so it'll probably be later this week.

From what I have read on them (ChiChiTech), expect on par or slightly less than OEM, but will serve purpose. Customer service sucks, but Amazon takes care of that, so should be ok. They also sell on ebay.

I think I can't order it. They used the most tasteless SEO.
This is a High Quality Battery for the HTC VERIZON THUNDERBOLT 4G LTE. Keep one as a spare and you're good to go that extra mile at work, checking emails, chatting with your friends or surfing the web on the road, Japan Tsunami Earthquake.

i always find non oem batteries die the day after the return policy is up. i'd rather pay the extra money to get one you know won't fry in your bolt when you overclock it

This is the same thing that is on ebay for around $12 free shipping. I bought one for my DINC and it worked great. Gonna get another set for the Bolt from ebay.
Update they are $10.99 free shipping with two 1500mah batteries...

I have to agree on the SEO issue, it's in poor taste to use the horrific events to sell a product. They likely work for Groupon and the superbowl ad company they used.

Ordered the same set up on the 18th, so hopefully it's here by end of month.

I agree - for $12, it's worth a punt - worse comes to worse, I'm out lunch + coffee money for a day (I live in NY ). Best case scenario obviously I then have 4 batteries.

Estimated between April 08 - April 21
WOW, just wow! hope you dont need them soon! id find another seller on ebay and pay a few dollars more for within a week atleast.

Picked it up last night. I don't care how long it takes, it's worth it just for the external charger, even if the batteries suck.
Worst case scenario, it would still get me a few extra hours. Best case: 4 batteries. Good deal.

Seems way too cheap to me but I just pulled the trigger too. Hopefully at least the charger works.

Their website is htcexpress.com. I got the 1800 mah batteries for my DInc. One of them gets way better than stock life and the other about the same. So hit or miss, I guess. I ordered some 1500s for my Bolt. Looks like it uses the same batteries as the MyTouch 4G.

You guys know thats an aftermarket battery in the amazon listing
deceiving pictures

I have purchased the "replacement" aftermarket batteries from overseas for the third time now. The first was for the Touch Pro, next for the Touch Pro 2 and now for the Thunderbolt. They arent as good as the OEM IMHO but do they really need to be?? I suggest being very careful with the wall charger though, very easy to brake stuff on the inside of the thing. After that happens it takes time (plugging and unplugging the stupid thing in the wall) to get it to charge a battery. Overall for the price u cant beat it!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GSWOZQ from what I've read the MyTouch has the same battery, I've purchased it and I'll give an update when I receive it. It's only 24.99 versus the 34.99 that they're marketing for the Thunderbolt.

sweet man. I might just have to get this

So it's September - where is the wireless charger?

Seems to have been forgotten!!!

You know if they released this on day 1 I would have bought it with the phone but now I had time to think I just don't want or need it.
So I honestly hope almost no one buys this thing so Samsung doesn't have these ridiculous delays in the future.

I wouldn't have cared as much if they actually "delayed" the alt color choices, but for that to have happened they would've had to let people know their would actually be color choices other then White and "Blurple" before or around launch. Not after selling numerous millions of devices........
Id've held off on the Blurple had I known a Black or Silver were in the works, but the news came long after my 30 days were up.

Colours are just superficial problems and just an annoyance more than a problem, but not being able to get 32 or 64gb versions still after 3 months is inexcusable since Samsung stupidly didn't include moving Apps to external SD.

This is embarassing, even nokia gets the wireless charging earlier on the market.

Don't buy it. No case on the planet will work with it. I've had it for a week now.
If you don't want to use a case and buy this kit, Just go to the Verizon store and ask them to get it from the back.

Mine is sitting on my desk right now. Works perfectly. VZW is selling the LG charging pad on their website. I had to go to ebay for a couple of the wireless charging doors, but they work great. I have a pebble blue, so I affixed the white charging element to the back of my Defender and it works perfectly with the case on. I could not be happier with the convenience.

The wireless charging is built into the battery door. Verizon probably didn't have them instock so he bought them online.

I have a 32 gig version, verizon branding, bought it about 3 weeks ago...

I've never seen/used wireless charger and wondering how much output does it provide? The stock wall charger is not able charge the phone when the phone is being heavily used, such as video call (GTalk/Skype) over cell network and GPS active. What are the chances that the phone has to be totally idle and nothing running in the background for the wireless charger being able do it's job?

just seen one in china, will post photo's later on.
Base
input 19V--1A
output 5-1A

Color me intrigued... How much that run you?
Is it the full battery cover replacement or just the inductive pad itself to put under the stock cover? Looks like just the pad itself sitting on a charging station. Not that is mind that one bit so long as it didn't bulge the case much. Been tempted to buy the Verizon covers and peeling the pads off to do just that actually

I have the Verizon cover, on AT&T phone and it works great except for that the NFC does not work , there is an extra contact that is only available on the Verizon version not sure why that is
== Yea.. I tapped that!

They merely announced them, none of the new gear is actually available yet.

FOR REAL...... how hard is it if all the hackers on here have modified them and the damn factory can't? I have no desire to physically mod this phone, even though I've got a car in the garage with a ridiculous amount of work done to it - I like to mod things like this but I'm really hoping Samsung can figure this out soon so I don't have to resort to it!

Panasonic QE-TM101

Unless I've missed it from my research but I haven't seen any mention of this Wireless Qi charger from Panasonic. Seems pretty good as it also goes and detects the device, so no need to move the phone or the tablet around to ensure it is charging. One fairly common complaint I notice is that they have to move the device around to ensure the charger finds the phone\tablet.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this as I may be picking it up for my Sexy Nexie 4 and 7. Or at the very least, here's another option for everyone to look into for their devices.
Here's a video review of some drunk guy on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUpr6JkP5ow

I have had mine for a couple of weeks. Love it. My tablet pretty much stays charged all the time.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I have one I bought for my Nexus 4 as soon as my N4 arrived in January. Works fine with the Nexus 7 - although never seems to switch off from charging. When I leave it charging over night the charge light almost always on in the morning but the Nexus 7 only feels barely warm. So probably it is just trickle charging.

From your experience approximately how long does it take to charge the Nexus 7? My other concern about wireless charging is how it affects the battery life overall. I'm assuming you guys only place it on the charger from empty to full all the time?

x2, I am afraid it would shorten the battery life.

Pretty much I am either holding my nexus or it is laying on the charger. From its lowest point, maybe 20%, it will charge to full in 4-5 hours. Then the light on the charging pad starts flashing.

I should add, the nexus is noticeably warm when I take it off the charging pass. This is not a trickle charge.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

To clarify my earlier post:
Charging for N7 takes a long time - I guesstimate charging time is 5 or 6 hours. I normally charge it overnight. My N4 charges and switches off at around 95%. N7 charges to full charge.
The Panasonic charging coil seeks out the best position for charging the device. The N7 coil is physically in the centre of the back, so position placement really doesn't matter much.

flashing means something wrong

I have one, works perfectly well with the Nexus 7. The charging coil in the station is motorized, so it'll sound like a quiet inkjet printer when it positions the coil, but it's not loud at all and doesn't bother me. Works especially well if it's on your nightstand... especially when it's time to go to bed and you're too tired to bother with a cable or another Qi charger in the dark. As long as you don't place the tablet like halfway off the station, it should work.
As far as cutting off charge, some people have said that it charges to 100% then won't initiate charging again until the device drops to 90%. Haven't really had a chance to test it, but every time I've picked up my tablet after a night of charging, my Nexus is at 100%.

totally not trying to thread-crap.... just figured I should mention that AT&T is selling the Nokia DT900 at half price.. $25 for wireless charging is great way to give it a try. It's working perfectly with my N7 and N4... I just ordered a 2nd.

Thanks I've seen the thread and it is a very good deal

Have had this since my nex 4 this came out a year or two ago, I saw it there when I was in japan.
worked fine on my nex4 and nexus 7 2nd gen.
I tried it with the yijieneng receiver on my s4 but didnt work with case on, didn't try it without.
been using the samsung pad because it tops off the battery, where as the panasonic stops once it hits 100%.

I ordered one friday, and it arrived today (tuesday) from eBay second hand for about $25
Using a generic QI receiver from ebay, when i first turned it on and put my phone on, 'oh hello phone here have some power'
then my curiosity attacked me and said 'THERES A BUTTON THERE PRESS THAT BUTTON WHATS IT DO!? so i pressed it then got to spend some time trying to figure out what i had done. DONT PRESS THE BUTTON, i think it has different modes, for finding the phone, after i pressed it the pad wasn't happy with my phones location and just kept moving left and right not charging.. but its working now xD
Im trying to find a copy of the manual online but not having any luck...
Haven't tested the speed yet, but its rated at 1amp so i presume it to be the same as most QI chargers on the market
Edit: speed is great.

Odd. I, too, had purchased a Nokia DT900, and it did not work with the Nexus 7 for me - AT ALL! I have since read that it didn't work for many Nexus owners.
I had to return it.
I then bought this Panasonic model, and it's been flawless (even through my MOKO case).

Sorry to hear it. The DT900 was a total bust with my N4, but still working great with my N7.
Sigh, as others have said, it still feels like this is such a beta level feature (ie. that there has to be so much luck getting the right combination of products to make it work)

Still waiting for mine that was ordered from eBay. Once I saw the tracking feature with the LEDs it was an instant buy, lol.

I got this one. Works well. My only compliant would be that the phone does not easily come off the dock. You have to hold down the dock in order to pull the phone free of it.

Well, I've been searching for the past few days trying to find a charging dock from an at least somewhat reputable-looking company (read: no Chinese/wholesale docks from Amazon) but couldn't find anything until I happened upon this post! So I just ordered one of those from Amazon. Should be here early next week and I will try to give you my impressions of it, though I still don't have my V20 so I can't really test it out fully.

Did you get it cheaper than what androidcentral is selling them for? When is your V20 supposed to be coming in?

It came out to $30.90 on Android Central including shipping, which would take 7-11 days. On Amazon with Prime it's $31.95 so for the extra dollar I'd rather just get it in two days and not have to worry in case my phone decides to come, plus very easy returns in case it doesn't work or for some reason I just really don't like it.
I pre-ordered from B&H but still no word from them on when it will ship. Somebody on Reddit said he spoke to them on Live Chat a few days ago and they told him "soon after the 1st"... FWIW I spoke to somebody on Live Chat a few days ago too and they said they had no information to give me. However something I noticed is that the listing on the B&H site recently changed from "Expected Availability: November whatever whatever" to "Ship Date: Not Available". So I hope that means it's going to be shipping soon. I live right outside of NYC so usually anything I buy from them gets here next-day. Everybody who have their carrier-branded phones already are really making me impatient to get my hands on this thing.

Cool. I got my Verizon on Oct 21st and so far I'm loving it. Great phone!

Ok, just got my phone today. Same! This thing is pretty awesome. I'm really liking it so far. I shot off an email to Seidio at the beginning of the week asking them about the charging specs of the dock and if fast-charge would work through it... they never got back to me but when I put my phone in the dock today it said fast-charging was enabled! Kinda surprised to be honest but looks like it works. Only problem is the cable is bright white and the charger is like a dark matte black. Gonna have to look into buying a different cable.

I purchased this one. It works fine although I whish it was a little heavier so I wouldnt have to hold it down so hard when removing the phone from it. I do like the height adjustability of the connector so it works with different cases.

That's the one I got. The thing I especially love is that even though you do have to hold the dock down as you pull the phone off, the dock has plenty of area to press down on and the resistance of the phone unplugging is relative small. I had a dock for my Note 4 and first of all, the phone required quite a bit of force to pull off the charger, and second of all, the stand didn't really have much area to hold down on while pulling off the phone.
So coming from past experience, trust me, this dock is pretty nice despite the flaws. Lol
