I'm kinda disappointed, I was hoping that Samsung would show the wireless charging accessory at IFA.
I've been waiting for it since I got my S3.
Seems it's been kinda forgotten. Nobody's talking about it.
Am I the only one disappointed with this?
Does anyone have any info?

I'm all with you on that buddy. Been waiting for this thing for what seems like ages. Although at this point I fear they aren't gonna release it after all, which would be a real shame.

You can get wireless charging pads that will do the same job. Prob a lot cheaper than a Samsung branded one. You can only charge the phone if its right next to it anyway.
Pity tesla's technology got repressed or we would of been walking about the house with our phones on charge long before now X)

Yes, but I want the Samsung one. Don't wanna have to solder, don't want a back case with no Samsung logo on it.

If that was being used widely all of our electric bills would be through the roof, wireless charging over distance is immensely inefficient
hoping the wireless charger comes soon though to match my touchstone for the touchpad

Yeah me too.
I mean we all know that our device has a wireless charging option ready to use. All you probably have to do is change the backplate which will probably come in the wireless charging kit (if it ever comes out ).

what else do they have...maybe a link to a versin of Android that their keyboard doesn't lag on? A link to somthing google makes that isn't as highly hyped that actually works as stated? browsers that browse like other browsers?
I doubt it happens even in ICS which BTW is supposed to work on all Android devices? Show me
They haven't impressed anyone so far

I bought a new ASUS AC charger from Office Depot for $29. The reason being that if I loose or misplace my original, there is no other way to charge the thing!
wsup guys. my USB charger just broke for my Rezound. I was wondering if there was any sort of warranty on those that Verizon (or Amazon, since I bought the phone through them) would honor?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
good lord, what in the hell did you do to that poor thing? lol
That looks like physical damage to me and would not be covered anyway.
I would take this one as a loss and just buy a new one. They are cheap.
Should be a year. Depending on who you talk to... Amazon might have to take care of it, but when I talked to Verizon about Amazon and issues like this, they always told me to just go into the store and have it replaced. The warranty on it is 1 year, just like your phone, battery and memory card.
Note that if you purchase a separate charger, you're bound by that warranty, though usually a year, you might have to mail it to someone.
Just tell them... as long as its the truth... I tried to pull the cable out of the phone, and the connector stayed lodged inside the phone's USB connector.
It's a cable, and costs them nothing to have them made. My company sells cables similar to this for $16 and they cost us a buck to have made. The markup is ridiculous.
They are pretty cheap or any Blackberry Charger or other Droid Charger works. They prob wont warranty that.

Jayochs knows what I meant.
does anyone know what the model of the sprint samsung galaxy s3 is? im looking to order online for spare batteries but not sure if its the same as the asian/european versions?
Pretty sure it is the Samsung L710...
Or try SPH L710 WTK
EBay has some 2850mah (probably cheap 2100mah) So I ordered one just to get the external charger. I the. ordered a real Samsung 2100mah battery. I'll have a review when I run the 2850mah for a week.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
thanks for the info guys. yea i seen ebay have some batteries for the s3, but the model number was like gt-i9300...so not sure if its the same as the sprint one??
Yeah, if its for any version of the S3 it will fit. Just be aware that the eBay batteries probably do not support NFC.

if you do not use the nfc batteries, will there be any errors on your phone that pop up?? as long as there isnt any annoying popups that you cant get rid of. i think i need a spare back up battery..... also, most people use nfc for the tap payments and the file transfers right? or at least those are the main uses of the nfc chips.....?

No, you should never get an error. And NFC will also be used for textiles.
Yeah I'm gonna keep the 2850 as a spare once I break it in.

Google Wallet Activation and Non-NFC Batteries
So we need stock batteries in order to use NFC. I wasn't aware of that when I ordered some cheap batteries with charger on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They work well otherwise.
I'm curious about the interaction between Google Wallet and NFC. If I try to activate Google Wallet with a non-NFC battery, will this fry the wallet chip as if I had tried to flash a ROM with it activated? Once I read the thread that referred to this phenomenon I deactivated my Google Wallet just so in the future I wouldn't trash it accidentally while I was playing with my phone's firmware once that's possible.
IMO those batteries are no good, I've had 1 for a week now, some cycles ran through it. Some odd behavior I've had, has only charged to 100% once, now it never reaches full charge[84%], and once unplugged at 84%, percentage on phone sometimes goes up, then back down below 84%. I suggest oem battery, Gold battery brand no good IMO.
Ok..so I connected my Atrix to a cheap car charger without a surge protector, and I guess it conked off and gave my Atrix the full 12volt treatment instead of 5v. The phone went off and its not powering on. Whenever I connect it to a charger the only thing that comes on is the green LED and that too at a level.of brightness I've never seen before. If I put a charged battery in the phone, the backside of the phone heats up and gets hot iin a matter of minutes. I took the phone to my local phone repair Guy and he told me that it's most probably the power IC that has blown up ...but can't be replaced individually coz it's sealed to the motherboard..so I will have to replace the whole motherboard. Is this true? Because I've seen Ads on the internet for standalone Atrix Power ICs. Doesnt make sense to replace the whole motherboard ..
I'd rather buy a new phone instead. Can someone suggest what to do?

I think your service guy is most likely right and whatever ads you might have seen are false advertisement. Sorry.

Well OK, those indeed seem to be genuine. But good luck replacing that on the motherboard. It's too tricky and risky and a lot of service centers won't even bother, since they can't charge enough for the effort to be worth it. This is also the biggest reason why the most common solution to this is simply replacing the entire board.

You'll also never solder a BGA device by hand. It's a machine fit when the rest of the surface mount parts are fitted.
You can solder BGA. You need a reflow station, or access to one.

Does anyone know where I can buy either an OEM charging wire that doesn't cost too much or just a regular USB charging cable for my DNA that isn't crappy? Thanks!
I found a pretty good one but since I can't post links yet I'll tell you how to get there: go to amazon and search Oem Charging Wire and click on the first link which is called Samsung OEM Micro USB Data Charging Cable (5 ft/1.5m) for Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch, Skyrocket, Galaxy Attain, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S Wifi 4.2, Galaxy Pocket, Rugby Smart and More. Hope I helped! It's not prime though, sorry.

Or contact htc say it broke or whatever happened to it and they will send you a new one for free made for the dna. My charger broke and they did that and it's the oem one. You will need your phone information to prove you own the phone. You get one accessory replacement per year from them.

You can use literally any micro-USB cable. Monoprice has a them in varying lengths for a few bucks.
Amazon!! Anytime I need anything for my phone I go there. I got a brand new stock battery for my rezound for 2 bucks back when I was using that phone. Stock usb cables for a penny all day. Cases 90% off retail. I sound like I work for them or something but I'm just that happy with the deals I constantly find on there. Half the time you even get free 2 day shipping.

Must have gotten a bad rep because all i did was call and tell them what happened and they sent a cable and wall charger meant for the DNA at no cost. I would try again because if you own an htc phone they will replace one accessory a year from them if something happens to it.
Definitely a bad rep. I had a new wall charger/cable sent to me the next week. No questions asked.

Do you have to have your phone registered through them or anything? I bought my dna new from Verizon in February, and the charger quit working two months later. I don't think I've ever registered it or anything like that. Do they just require the imei and serial/ information on the sticker, or how do they verify that you are the owner of the device?
