Another delay unfortunately. I was anticipating it, but now in limbo

No new ETA either
Same with Anker.. both delayed
I don't buy a phone now unless it has a zerolemon or like battery. Not only do I like the extra capacity I like the added thickness they add.
ZeroLemon has really screwed up this release it's a shame.
Just an fyi if you hadn't seen already, they will be available on the 30th. I too am counting the days. After having it on my note 2, I cannot live without it.

It's the 4 holes at the bottom on the phone. I suspect there's a channel from the speaker to those four holes. A la the the mophie juice packs.
Anyone know if this will be in white too? And please post impressions if you order it

I'd really like to hear from somebody on XDA on their impressions of the battery and case vs reading brain dead reviews from people who don't know what's going on. I've had zero lemon for all my devices and I can't see how this battery and case could be much different than lets say on my Note 2. I've read it's terrible quality and some received it dead on arrival. Lol. Either that or it arrived with no charge and they didn't let it charge up long enough. :laugh:

The only problem with these cases is NFC and wireless charging can no longer be used.

Recieved mine today. I'm in the process of reviewing its performance right now. I'll post tomorrow my results since I don't think its possible to drain it by tonight. I am leaving screen brightness %100, no dim or screen lock, 4g constantly on, live wall paper, and doing whatever else I can to REALLY put it to the test. None of this standby 15 min of internet 2 phone calls stuff. Battery monitor shows 650+ positive mA with all this going on if that means anything. Still learning.
First impression is its well made. It's definitely not a shoddy slap together item. Thought went behind design and usability. We shall see about performance. The case is attractive. Hard plastic, not flimsy at all. It's about an inch wider then EVO and 2inches smaller then its length. Perfectly square. Thickness is 2 EVO's stacked. It is alittle heavy. Someone said it was 10oz. So overall its way small for the juice your getting. Not to heavy. This is a battery after all.
The packaging was nice. A cardboard setup like the EVO where it slides out. Real packaging. Peel off sticker guards to prevent scratches. Come with 2 adapters and a charger. All is included to charge EVO. I'll end here and post performance of this device tomorrow.

Thanks for the review.
Well I've been using it constantly all day today from my first full charge. Been 11 hours and its at 50%. That's with screen brightness 100%, no dim/lock, live wallpaper, 4g constantly on. All that while using my phone for browsing the web, netflix, 3d camera, ect. I've been using my phone constantly as in non stop. So in all reality its not possible to use this up in one day of constant HEAVY usage. I have to fully recommend this product. Obviously I don't know about longevity but from what I've experienced so far I'm guessing it will last a long time. If you have any specific question ill do my best to help.

K so I bought my 1st phone from expansys and had bad overheating issues. They were very nice in exchanging it for me. But now I noticed on by replacement phone there are like 6-8 spider cracks around the one side of the rear speaker. You can tell the back plate cracked from factory speaker install. Did anyone notice this on their phone? I emailed expansys again. Do u think they'd give me a hard time on getting another replacement? I hate to see the back case crack worse then it already is.

On top of that add some other issues like black screen ink marks and tell them backcover makes a sound when u click on it. That should be enough to get a refund or replacement

Hey guys. I just wanted you all to know that of the three options: Nokia Charging Pillow, plate, or stand. It's all about the stand! I've purchased all three and I wish I would have purchased the stand FIRST! I didn't know about it until after I purchased the pillow and the plate. The plate sucks because you have to make sure the phone is centered at all times, otherwise your phone doesn't charge or over heats or both. I've had bad experiences going to sleep and waking up to a beeping 120 degree phone. The pillow sucks because well for me it was pointless. It didnt help me in any way, I just took the plate out of the pillow and then it became a plate, which I just finished explaining. The pillow itself is a waste of money. The stand is perfect, you don't have to worry about your phone being centered because once its put on the stand it is centered. Anyways. To me, the plate and the pillow were mistakes. They should have only created the stand in the first place. Its perfect! I bought it from AT&T on employer discount for around $50, I think regular price its about the same as the others at about $65.
I got the stand used through Amazon and it does work pretty well. As others have mentioned though the NFC while working isn't in the best spot, and the phone can't be set horizontally either to watch videos or something. I'm sure there will be better ones down the line when wireless charging catches on.
Can you post a link to the stand, I see a ton when I google.

Well, you can't set the phone down horizontally and watch movies on any of the 3 can you? I just think that out of the 3 this one beats the other 2 hands down. And I think because it is always centered it charges slightly faster too. With the plate I am always wondering if its sitting on it correctly. Which is pretty annoying, especially if i pick it up at night when im in bed and i try to center it again in the dark...
Hopefully Verizon carries this thing online soon so I can use my discount. Otherwise it is fairly expensive especially since I plan to buy 2 or 3.
I also have the stand and agree it is the best option. You actually can get it to play and charge while horizontal if you don't mind propping it up on something. I have not been able to get the NFC to even activate and yes, I have it turned on in the settings. Maybe I am touching with the wrong spot on the phone. Can anyone discuss how this works?

AT&T had it last week and I bought one with my employee discount for $51.75 which is a lot better than $69. I tried to buy another one yesterday but it was out of stock. When it's back in stock I'll see if I can work something out with anyone that wants one. I could just buy it and have it shipped straight to you instead of myself. Paypal transaction or something. Anyone interested in something like that PM me

The NFC chip in the phone is behind the HTC logo, but it won't activate since the tag in the charging stand is for Windows Phone. You'll have to download an app called NFC Retagger to set the tag to launch an app or action
The NFC tag on the stand is on the front, on top if the little white light. I believe it says "NFC" in small print.
This confused me also, because I expected the NFC to be in the back if the stand, so the phone would see the NFC while charging. But, I don't know, maybe the current interferes with it or something.

Just to report back, NFC Retag worked for me. Easy to use and set up, works great with the stand and you do have to have the phone screen active and hold it sideways. Probably easier to just turn on the app but nice to know it works. This is new technology for me, other than the commercials of people tapping phones together I am not familiar with other ways this feature is used in everyday life but I am here to learn.
Thanks again.
Does anyone on here use the 5300mah extended battery for our phones? Was curious how much bigger it made it feel, how hot it got, yada yada. A pic of it in compared to stock would be splendid also! also if anyone has tried the "extended slim" battery that's supposed to fit with existing back (weighing my options) I love how this phone feels in my pocket and in my hands idk if I want something that's gonna make it a lot thicker. Thanks again guys. I love this forum lol.

Hi There,
I have the 5400mah from amazon, $9.99 with plastic door. Battery works good and door is not bad but will not last over time. I also have two 2700 mah which where $9-13 from amazon and came with wall mount charger they work awesome. I have had no issues with either battery types and love them all. I tripped over my charging cable while plugged in the phone and does not work. I am tied up at the moment, about to make a rom help thread haha...when i get time today or tomorrow i will post pics and answer further questions along with details and links. And i use my note for everything, games reading and video all day long, truly is my phablet.
The 2700's fit as if stock, use stock door.

Mine isn't doing that at all, but I've only taken the back off one time since the day I bought the phone. My battery and SD card promo pack are showing up tuesday, and I'm sure mine will be peeling once I start swapping batteries every day.
Luckily for us, replacements are available: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=lg+v10+back+cover&_sacat=0
I don't use a case... But really this shouldn't be happening. I have taken the back off maybe 5 times? This is something that younger expect to start happening after 6 months of use.... And what about the spot beside the charging port?
I'm gonna see if I can maybe get them to send a replacement back. I don't feel like this is something you'd normally expect of a 6 week old phone. IMHO

Wow. Mine has the same problem. I talked to Verizon, they can't do anything about it, LG wants me to send the back to them and they will investigate and see whose fault it is. I'm having reservations and it because I will have to go bareback (???) for a few days. I'm still pissed because it was less than 2 weeks when I got the phone.

At least their being honest with you. Take it as a chance to invest in a wireless charging back cover.
This is a serious lack in customer service. What a mess. I will be calling next week and also sending pics and complaints to Tmobile. This phone is unfortunately not turning out to be all its cracked up to be. First with the busted screens and now this not so "Dura"skin peeling off the back. This should not be an opportunity to go and buy something else.... Now if LG wants to send me a $15 gift card or something I'll get another back....
Don't get me wrong the internal hardware is great but then so is the G4. I bought it because of its durability primarily and this is quickly becoming an area where it appears to be lacking... Now I just have a "heavy" phone.... With similar features as some other not so heavy ones...

I don't personally have a Twitter account but if you do maybe consider Tweeting it to LG with a link to the thread so that they can see these multiple reports. Comment on the Reddit thread as well to get that more visibility.... Hopefully this helps.

Same problem with my phone. I've had it since day one and it's peeling in the exact same way in the same spot. I called LG and they said they'd replace it after I send them the back of my phone and they send me a new back which would take up to 10 days. What a joke. I love the phone otherwise but I bought it so I wouldn't need to buy a case. Not that the cases work with the fingerprint scanner. I'm glad for jump on demand. I think it's ridiculous they won't send us a part that cost them a few cents but they send out batteries and sdcards for free.
