No, it did not, it didn't really matter to me because I have WAY too many anyway, it takes micro usb.
where can you buy one of these that isn't a knockoff? Like the actual ones that shipped with the Korean model. I can't find one that looks legit on ebay.

Glad that I asked, your a great guy and have amazing patience with people. I did read your post and I have gotten batteries in the past that said they were OEM but weren't. And batteries in the past did determine whether NFC worked but maybe your new. Good talking though.

Yes your phone has the nfc chip but in order for it to work it needs an antenna which is on your battery smart guy. I'm sorry for wasting space on this thread but the NFC question is a valid one and would determine if some people but them.

From my understanding the RFID antenna is in the battery that connects to the actual NFC chip which is on the circuit board of the phone. They are selling batteries that do not have NFC support. This was a issue with the Galaxy Nexus. Here is a link to batteries that don't have NFC support.

So your answer on the NFC is?????????? Maybe you should go down to circle k and see if google wallet is working

Well, this isn't the galaxy nexus, and the nfc isn't in the battery, no matter how much you want it to be. I've never owned the galaxy nexus, so I don't know anything about how it was setup, but I did have an HTC DNA. And it's nfc/Qi coils were stuck to the non removable battery and the battery cover was just a cover. That's not the case with the G3, whereas the nfc/Qi coils are attached to the battery cover. There are versions of the cover out there that either support nfc only, nfc & Qi, or nothing at all. So, I can easily understand the confusion around the subject.
Here's a picture of two different covers, one with an nfc/Qi circuit and one with nfc only. On the dual purpose one, the nfc is the perimeter square circuit with the inner rounded one being for Qi.

Very informative, every company does their own thing. I did own the Galaxy Nexus and Samsung usually does their NFC chips inside their batteries. Galaxy Nexus (pretty much an S2), S3, S4 and S5 all have NFC chips in their battery

Im not quite sure who pissed in everyone's cheerios but your snob attitudes to people on these forums is what gives XDA a bad rep. If someone uses mis-information then by all means correct them, but i you cant reply to someone without being pricks then dont reply at all.
As for the question if NFC/Qi is on the battery argument. It depends on the manufacturer. Lg's NFC/Qi is on the battery cover. For S3, S4, S5 and Galaxy Nexus they were built into the battery.

i bought one last night. work good?
Oy oy oy. 52 bones. Maybe if it was from best buy... But I can't wrap my head around that price from eBay especially the battery.
I do like the idea of that. Does it have indication of how full it is? Because I would prefer to only top off from 40 to 90 and just swap battery as needed.
Guess I could use timer. Or just say f it, two batteries would theoretically degrade half as much in a year due to shared usage....

It looks kinda cool, but once I started reading I lost faith...
"This product is suitable for Samsung Galaxy Note. In addition to being a super battery life of portable back-up battery pack, you can also be used as the Samsung Galaxy Note protective cover, bring to your iPad strong momentum and excellent console protection."
Looks good if you buy it post a review I'm curious to know if its good or not.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Im confused. Do you have to already own the ipad or does it come with one? If it doesn't come with one can I use the "strong momentum and excellent console protection" on a different device, or perhaps other non-related items such as my cat?
I think I might buy that. Slimmer than the mugen, and it doubles as a portable charger or extender for 35 bucks.
I see one problem with it though, can't take the stylus out with the phone in it.

Actuall i think you can. If you look at the corner there appears to be a gap there. I bet thats an opening to access the s-pen. I went with the super thick super cheap extended battery. $8 for a batter that lasts me a couple days is nice. If you, or anyone else for that matter, gets this please take some pictures for us so we know what we're dealing with in thickness and effectivness. And and let me know if it helps you ipad out any.

I dunno, if you look at picture 4 and 7, it shows the word "IN". 4 looks like where the stylus would be, but on picture 7 its the same spot on the phone just flipped and it shows the USB port for charging it.
Looks like a good alternative for $35. Total charge capacity would be 5500 mAh, assuming all 3000 mAh of the Brando battery can be transferred to the phone. That would be about the same as the Mugen 5400 mAh extended battery.

Ahah...im pretty sure those photos were added or my browser choked and didnt load them last time as I only saw the first photo, and thats why i asked for more pics. I like that it has a kick stand and isnt too thick. I may get one when the price comes down some and if the reviews indicate they are worth buying.

also this sounds like a real PITA:
* Please Charge the Battery Case before Usage.
* Please Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy Note Separately. (Do Not Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy NoteAt the Same Time)

It's not a passthrough, so the placement doesnt matter much. The thickness will prevent it from being used it most/all docks. According to the site you must take this off the phone in order to charge it or the phone. I do tons of supplemental charging on and off through the day that this is absurd and out of the question for me. But if you find yourself only charging at night only then this is not likely to be a big issue for you, only you will need to have a second charger at your night stand to charge them both.
see i plug mine in a lot through the day as well... would be nice to see one with pass though charging as well.
Looks cool but I think it would add to much weight and bulk.
not for At&t i717 note?!?
I think the pic is of the unbranded note and it is different enough to not fit at&t model.
I purchased a miikey external 5200 mah(? Not sure of #, but close) and it is like having 3 extra batteries without turning off phone to change out.
cost was: orig. $89.95, i hit a nice sale and got it for $50.oo purchased at at&t store in central nj!
the only thing it is not good for is if you need power when connected to a pc.
my original battery either needs calibration after rooting or i have a defective battery. so, i use this till i can figure out what is going on. prolly needs calibration.
So the story goes we were in northern Maine on a fishing trip with no signal. I would like to make an external Cantenna, but need the correct patch cable to go from the phone to the cantenna. I don't care what connector is on the other end as I will source the correct connector based on the patch cable. Anyone know what spec the external antenna port is on our phone?
ps I know where the port is, just don't know what it's technical name is.

Be careful!!!
I've read that those ports on the back of the phone are used by Samsung for testing purposes. Be careful when tinkering with those as you might permanently disconnect the internal antenna and ruin your phone. I was interested in making an external for my old Epic 4G Touch and decided not to after what I'd read about using those ports. Here's a thread with some info for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484314
If you are successful in joining a Cantenna to one of those ports, let me how you did it.
Nice dinner there.

Saw the exact same problem back with the captivate, poor guy trashed his phone, since the antenna connector never reset; apparently it is just the way Samsung handles antennas in their phones. There is a powered amplifier on the market that works without a direct wired connection, if I remember it will give you..... maybe 20db (guessing from a suspect memory) ... I could probably find the link, if you don't already have it.

An engineer friend made a reflector that focuses the signal at his cell phone. I think he used a stainless steel bowl with a hole in the bottom so it was more a funnel than a reflector. You need to know where the cell tower is so you can point the bowl, though.

Sounds like a good idea, but not sure it will work where we are. Lots of trees in the way. It sucks that Samsung would not use the external antenna port the same way as everyone else. I'll contact sammy and see what's up.

Okay, this might help you, take a look at this little well priced tech marvel:
http://bestcelldist.com/samsung_galaxy_note_lte_widepatch.html
Pros ::::::It is just the coupling, This inductive coupling will tie into any type antenna system you might like. You can specify any end connector when you order ..
It is only $30 bucks. I know it is not as economical as a simple connector but an could turn out to be an excellent alternative if it turns out you can't mate a physical connector.
Cons::::::There is Rf loss without the physical attachment, around 40% , though with the right antenna/booster you could easily be sending fish picks to jealous friends back home....
By the way,the link below still sells the connector that will trash a Samsung Captivate, They do warn that attaching an external antenna "might" damage your phone in "rare" circumstances......they sell it for about $12, nice profit on some suckers $100 dollar loss.... some things never change, eh...... Let the Buyer Beware.

Official response from Samsung Support on G+:
Hi Travis! Unfortunately, we don't have any support information concerning this as we don't support 3rd party extermal antennas. Please reach out to the manufacturer for further information. Thanks!
No surprise really
I will keep the inductive version in mind. I will also update the post with any other info I find. Going to try an contact Cyanogen as his wife has a GNote and he works for Samsung.

I've contacted a couple of seemingly legit manufactures as I still have an old Wilson's antenna that worked incredibly well in the middle of a great lake on a sail boat with an old Nokia phone about 10 years ago.
I would love to find a connector to the samsung note sgh i717 ...
thanks for posting what you know. Wish Samsung would have the nuts to look into it and provide the community some info with a harsh disclaimer to avoid dealing with warranties rather than say nothing.
If you find anything else out, please post!
what if the s4 battery fits in the s3 ?
would be great right ? and gonna give us some great battery life especially with 4.2.2
Why not just buy a third party battery specially made for the S3? Or, if you're a fan of having an extreme battery life, buy one of these:

Buy plenty of new or used car batteries, like this one:
and fit them all on the trolley and connect them in a parallel circuit, then connect some sort of transformer so you can connect your phone to it. Carry it with you at all times and your battery will never run dry for as long as you live.
Note. Do not connect them in a series circuit, it has to be a parallel circuit.

Unless Samsung has invented some new battery technology in the past 12 months, the S4 battery will be physically larger than the S3 battery since it has 24% greater capacity (2600 vs 2100 mAh).
Remember that guy who asked if it was possible to physically shorten the battery length? Slappy threw him a pic of a saw and he was like "well yeah that'd work" kinda.

Well, actually there are some official 1800mA batteries (might have been from galaxy s armani and another phone) that were found to perfectly fit i9000 (stock i9000 battery is 1500mA) - they were slightly heavier and a fraction of a millimeter thicker (which didn't affect the back cover fit). There was also an unofficial 1800mA polarcell battery that was measured to have the full capacity.
Since that is a 20% increase, I believe that a 24% increase is within the realm of possibility. Also remember that the dimensions of the of the S4 are pretty similar to the S3 so they wouldn't be able to squeeze that much more room for the battery. That said, if I were to take a bet I'd guess it will be just a touch bigger.
The only way we can know for sure is if someone measures it though lol. Does anyone have a pic of the back cover so we can see if theres any obvious difference at least?

I bought this cheap charger:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/221422967001?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I hope it works with decent charging speeds.
Does anyone know if wireless charges have any ratings or specifications whatsoever that affects charging?

I picked two of these up. LG QI charging pads WCP-300 (flat, not stands) for $20 each. Not sure if the deal is still active. but here was the link.

Clove (in the UK) are doing a deal where you get the WCD-100 free when you pre-order the G3, and since their price is only £20 (US$34) more than Amazon UK are doing it for that seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. The RRP for the WCD-100 is £59.99 (US$102) here, so you're effectively saving £40 (US$68)
Can't comment on the charging speed, but if it's like the other wireless charging "solutions" then it'll be slower than a proper cabled connection, but certainly fast/good enough to suit an overnight (/nightstand) or desk charge. I came across a G3 review (sorry, can't find the link) that says that the G3 is smart enough to warn you - with a pop up - when the phone isn't properly docked in the charger. If true then that's a neat feature, all the other wireless charging things I've used only confirm when the unit is docked correctly, (e.g. HP Touchpad "bongs").
Having had the official Samsung S3 charging dock I'll be interested to see if the LG charger supports the phone better than the Samsung's one does, and also if the G3 has a "docked" mode like the S3 does.

This one works just fine with the missus Nexus 5. I see no reason why they will not work w/G3.

Good to hear. They seem like they will be small. (should get them monday)
So how big are they? About the size of a drink coaster?

thanks, i will have a consider this option until my G3 actually arrives in 9 days time. if the deal is still up, i think i gonna take the plunge.
my other consideration is that it would take about 6 hours to fully charge the 3,000 mAh battery wirelessly?!? that's like... forever...
there is another steal just came out, the incipio wireless charging pad for $13. tried to get that, but turns out that the merchant does not accept overseas paypal account.
I've got one of the cheap chargers from Amazon, it was working with my nexus 4 and then when my g3 arrived it wouldn't work with it.
However, it's not working with my nexus 4 too after trying it again today, so I think I might've just got a dodgey charger. But, someone else on the forum has had the same exact problem I'm having; charging for a couple seconds, then disconnect.
Was thinking about getting the official one, but tbh spending £30ish to stick a wire into something else and charge my phone on that a little bit slower doesn't really seem worth it.

My cheapo charger does not work at all. It detects a device placed but my g3 ignores it. Makes me wonder besides following the Qi standards, what else needs to be in place?

It does get warm near the cam area when playing games. Nothing unusual to me.
Just one time it got extra hot when I was converting from Dalvik->ART and the screen refused to turn off. The conversion took a while to complete as it has to convert over 200 apps.
I purchased a OEM back without any NFC or qi and a white OEM back with the NFC and qi. I'm going to remove it and make it work on the black one since I have a black G3. Both back covers will be here by Saturday so I will post pictures as I go. It may not be the cheapest or most effective way to get qi charging but it will get the job done. I just hate the ATT back with the death star on the back and I wanted to get a new one so I figured why not get qi as well.
(Pictures and walkthrough coming soon)
Let me know if anyone has suggestions or has tried this already.

Where did you buy it? I just did a cursory search on Amazon with no luck. I'm looking for some way to get QI charging without having to go the AT&T powermat quicksilver case route (what the hell were they thinking going powermat).
Yes I have done this. Ripped off the coil from the quick circle case and stuck unto my Korean back that didn't have wireless charging. Works great!

I purchased them both off ebay. It wasn't cheap as a I said 27.99 for the black back cover w/o nfc or qi ( I just hate the carrier logo) and $40 for the NFC/Qi back cover in white. Both are USA sellers which is good.
Here are the links

I just ordered what I think is an OEM back from eBay and was planning on pulling the coil and putting in my AT&T back. How easy was it to pull? Did you have to heat it up? Any advice?
I'm a bit of a bull in the China shop and have no subtlety at all and it still worked out fine as the sticker sticks quite well. I used tweezers to remove it and then removed the one from the original with tweezers. Then stuck it on and it looks ok. Let me get a photo of the finished product and I'll post later.

That sounds good I'm sure there will be many people who will do this with the quick circle case.

Ok here's the finished product - the trickiest part was lining up with the phone itself so the charging works.

I just ordered the white one. I'll have to rip it off and transplant it to my black at&t cover like poczynek did -__-
I was looking at the wireless charging thread. Anyone have a confirmed working QI charger for the G3 and amazon/ebay link to it? I'm looking for something I can attach to my magnetic car mount.

Get the ones that have three coils in them e.g. the Tylt Vu. They're more expensive but work well. I'd say the problematic ones are those with only one coil.

With a charger like this:

I'll have to do more research and make a post pending the success of this project lol.

This QI charger works, it's charging my european G3 right now. Very easy to position the phone right for it to pick up the correct spot.

No issues with the single coil? I'm looking forward to making this work, but qi chargers are hit and miss.

Nope, no issue at all. You need to position the phone at exactly the right spot, but as the charger is quite small is easy to find it. Then it charges with no interruption and tells you when it's full.
I will probably be doing exactly the same thing
Possible to buy something like a wireless receiver for LG G3, there are tons of them for Samsung S5,Note 3 etc. That would be easier no?

Would be nice if the seller didn't price gouge the sh*t out of it.
Edit: Also, how do you know it's qi charging?
Did y'all pay the $140 for the oem white nfc+qi from the eBay seller.
