Some of you know, my charging port is done (salt water).
Phone works fine though...
How can I pop the battery out and charge it? Know of a dock or equivalent?
OEM spare battery comes with a charging dock.

Or get a wall battery charger from ebay
When Tmobile had the 50% off going, I got a spare battery and charger for 25 bucks for my GF. She don't charge the phone anymore, just swap batteries. I got it from a Tmobile brick and mortar store.
For 5 quids..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Doc...304985?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb5dea499
For 5 more you can get 2 extra batteries too. Batteries might say 1500mah but most probably they'll be 900 or something but still..

Actually got 2 spares and a charger for only a penny and 9.99 shipping on eBay. Batteries last just as long as OEM. I'm sure for a few bucks more you can find a good deal and get them a lot quicker than I did, 3 weeks from Hong Kong.

Has anyone seen anyone selling and OEM EVO 3D battery? I had a bad experience with cheap Chinese batteries, so I never buy them. I need an OEM.
Also, what about a wall charger for the extra battery. Has anyone seen one? Seidio will probably sell one, but I don't see it up yet.
I'm just curious as to what you mean by "a bad experience"? I also bought some cheapo $10 chinese batteries for my Evo, and they were great, except the build quality was crap, they basically fell apart on me after about 6 months. What happened to your battery?
On an older, dumb phone, I bought a Chinese extended battery. After about 3 months, the battery started causing my phone to reboot constantly. It took me a long time to figure it out. I vowed never to buy a knockoff battery again.

Has anyone yet seen a wall charger for an extra battery? I have my extra battery now, I just have no way to charge it.

ebay got plenty if you are willing to go that route
I ordered this battery as a backup for my EVo 3D from Amazon and after conditioning the battery the last couple days, I got 22hrs 4m and 13s on it. Highly recommend

Oh, I see. There are tons there. I just ordered one. Thanks.
Android central sells them

Just picked this bad boy up at the Bestbuy on chapman in the OC if anyone is nearby.
I'll post back on the results in a couple days. I'm not going to do a label pull as I'm sure they're just rebranded Sedio 1900s
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...49690267&skuId=2768046&st=Platinum&cp=1&lp=10
Seidio is their internet name, Platinum is their in store branding. Same company. Different name so they didn't shortchange their online business.
These will fit the stock battery door right?
Picked two of them up earlier today at the store in Oceanside.
When I checked inventory at the local stores, they were available everywhere.
I was even able to turn in some Best Buy bucks and got them for less than $40 each.
The chichitec batteries are nearly the same and for 40 clams get 2 of them and a wall charger. These batteries are very good...wall charger sucks. I am ordering the seido wall charger instead.

I bought some anker 1900mah ones and they are awesome which is technically the same as the chicitec. Why the seidio charger over the ones that came with your chichitec?
Sorry I know off subject....
It take nearly 8 hours to charge. I looked st the specs for the charger and it is 500ma...this takes to long. And something else I noticed is the 3vo batteries from 95 percent to 100 takes just a wee bit longer than og batteries. I want to contact seido if their universal EVO 3d/sensation charger is rated at 1amp just like the one for the og EVO.

That's what I do. I am glad these batteries have overcharge protection.( I think )
What are the Conchords actually rating again? I was considering biting the bullet an grabbing one out these Seidio/Pt batteries but may go for the Chichitec instead since its 2. Then again I really only need 2 solid batteries since I have 2 Galilio batteries for emergency use....

From what I can tell with the battery plugged in it slow charges at 300-350ma where as with usb cables it charges at 800ma. I would not expect it to charge a battery in less than 12 hours if it was near dead. But sure it will work with either the international or at&t version. Remember though, you get what you pay for.
Edit: I have bought various items from China, different vendors. A usb hub I bought bit the dust after a few months use.. It was about $4 too. Just don't expect to use it on a daily basis and have it last very long.
good point, i'll stick to oem i guess
it's not like it's a **** load more money...
what do you think of this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-SAM...ccessories&hash=item41621fcfa4#ht_2631wt_1080
also note: the item is in S.Korea which makes me think it's the real deal OEM
I am pretty sure that is only the charger though so beware. I bought one and it clearly stated extra battery included was oem as well

Pay little more than the cheap wall charger and get this one. It not too expensive, its Samsung OEM shipped from S. Korea. The only thing is that it does not come with AC adapter but you can use the one that came with the phone.

That looks like the charger that comes with the Hyperion battery you can get from Amazon. It does charge slow--I think it takes about 6-7 hours to charge from empty. I didn't mind, though, as it would charge while I was doing other stuff and when the light changed from red to green, I'd just slap another dead battery on there for charging.
I am going to be traveling in the next couple of weeks and there will be several days that I am nowhere near a charger for 12+ hours. My Note has been really good with the battery with moderate use but the area I am going to has LTE so I plan to play around a bit. I figured it would be best to purchase a spare battery now and then take that with me so I am not running into any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spare battery? I know there are plenty of off-brand batteries on Amazon and eBay. Would it be better to get a Samsung official battery or has anyone had good success with any of those off-brands?
Thanks!
I bought Samsung "Spare Battery Charging System". Included battery, carry/charge case, micro-USB cable and Charger. Case doubles as stand for portrait /landscape viewing. Phone does not charge via stand, only spare battery charges.
$49.00 at AT&T. Good value, IMO.
I have been very happy with the Hyperion 2600mah 2pk with charger on Amazon for under $28. I believe they sell the batt separately also. Battery life is comparable to the oem batt and as an added bonus....it recharges faster for some unknown reason. Highly recommended...really.

Do you have a link to that product? I am searching Amazon and AT&T's websites and I do not find anything close to that. Only the dock or the charger with no batteries. Thanks!
I have using Anker batteries in all my android phones, and LOVE them. Fantastic customer service! You have a problem? They will take care of you with in a day!
The Anker batteries on my previous Samsung Infuse worked fine for myself for traveling .
I am using the Hyperion battery as well. Get which ever battery beforehand so you have time to go through a few recharge cycles to get the battery at its peak performance.
I ended up ordering the Hyperion 2 x 2600mAh batteries with charger. Along with the OEM battery I should have no problems lasting an entire day away from a charger.

Thanks all!
Doh . . . I was just going to say you can order OEM batteries from Amazon through a seller for $30 and it comes with a charger.
IT doesn't mention that it comes with the battery but it does.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3FSQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Just be careful buying "OEM" through other then official channels. There has been atleast one person here that bought "OEM" battery that gave him a whopping 6 hours of run time.

That's still good to know because Amazon is great about returns. I returned an "extended" battery for my Infuse when it lasted less than the OEM but was falsely rated higher. So if by chance the Hyperion batteries don't hold out I can always return them. I am sure they will work fine though, at least for the purposes that I need them for.
I just ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VBNYDS/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details
Basically it's an external battery; this worked better for me as I have multiple devices that sometimes need an extra "kick" so I didn't want to be limited to a single battery for a single device.
If the Hyperions perform like the one I bought, you should be satisfied. It seems to operate as long as the Samsung one that came with the phone.
That being said, I also ordered the Samsung charger/battery combo that's also $30, and sold one of the Hyperion batteries and the charger. So now I've got 2 Samsung batteries and 1 Hyperion in rotation. I can't really tell the difference among them.
In the end, I think you get more bang for the buck with the Hyperions.
both OEM batterys came in today from amazon. havent got to use it yet, but same box from AT&T store
3 batteries and wall charger, so convenient I have one charging all the time and put one in my wallet when I leave the house never worry about dead batteries again

Bought the same pack from a different seller a couple months ago. I think I paid about $10. Regardless price can't be beat.
Pros:
Pretty good life, roughly 75% of OEM.
Cons:
Charger has since crapped out, one of the pins broke off inside.
Batteries wouldn't charge in phone, gave message "battery disconnected" on screen
One of batteries died on, wouldn't charge.
Overall a good deal so long as your charger doesn't crap out like mine did. I've had this same charger come with almost every cheap battery pack ive bought for different phones. It's the exact some one except the size of the battery slot changes for each battery. This is the first one i've had crap out so i'd say its a fluke.

I've had so many chargers like these, you need to make sure you slide the battery in gently so that the pins for charging won't break, it's a pain but it will make it last forever

How much did you pay for yours, $30?
I have this one as well.
I have the same pack and I purchase from the same listing at Amazon. It allows me the added assurance of battery power.
CONS:
The batteries wear down faster than the OEM battery that comes with the phone
Something else to carry so you need to have them in your pocket or a traveling container of some sort to carry them with you.
PROS:
Fast swap with a fresh full charged battery.
I love the charger has an USB port where you can plug your micro usb cable in and change the battery in the phone at the same time that you charge one in the dock.
It was worth the buy for me. I'm always looking for more ways to accent my device experience.
