Was browsing around on Amazon and saw a new battery for the i777, claims to work with the default battery door. No mention of NFC capabilities so if you're looking for that I don't think this is your answer. However, I'm tempted to order one just to see how it plays with the phone and if it truly does work with the default battery door.

for $9 I'd be a little put off. doubt it would work well if at all. TBH.

I'm skeptical as well for it only being $9.
I understand that but seeing as how the GTMax battery was only 13 for the extended (and it works perfectly), it wouldn't be too surprising to see this one perform decently as well. I have enough funds to sacrifice $9, so it may be a worthwhile investment if it does work as it should.
Update: Took the plunge and ordered, will definitely let you know how it works out if it does at all.
Hope it works out. if it does I may scoop one up for myself
If it works well I'll be ordering like 2 more and a separate battery charger.

Just got it today, draining the charge first then I'm going to do some testing.
Did it come with its own special battery charger or does it charge with the one that came with the phone?

LOL. Guess I should buy it now then before it jumps to $34 XD
EDIT:
Just bought it... we'll see how it goes. $20 shipped. Still a pretty good price.
Well, first charge I got 20~ hours with 2h 45m with screen on time, so I'm pretty happy with that. Hopefully after a few cycles it's even better.
Had it plugged in for 20-30 mins getting files from SD and writing to SD.
They lowered the price back to 9.
Edit
Just bought it for the grand total of $11.98

So I got home today and there was a box sitting on my doorstep. I usually know when I'm expecting something, so I thought it was something for my wife, until I see that it was mailed to me...
Looked at the return address, and it was from HTC Bellevue.
I was thinking to myself, I didn't order anything, nor did I expect anything to be coming to me...
This is what I got...
so...wait. wut?
why? Did you buy a car kit or something. I don't get it. But hey, free ish is always awesome.
Nice congrats!
What all is there?
I see a car charger with an extra USB cable and a portable speaker?

Pretty neat. Could you give us the model number of what you got? I've never seen that device before.
Well you gave your address to HTC at some point so whenever that was is directly related to why you got this...cool $60 gift though....car speakerphone for those that don't have in car Bluetooth...
For those that havent seen this before just google HTC Car Mic...

does your luck extend to celebrities?
is the sound quality loud enough for a 20ftx40ft room?
Haven't really tested it yet. Passed out early last night, didn't get any calls this morning on my commute to work.
That's a slick device and you can't beat the price. I've been using a Motorola T505 for a year or so now and it works very well. It also allows you to stream music to your car stereo via a bluetooth-to-FM feature. The sound quality isn't perfect, but it's an easy, wireless solution that is simple to configure.
Amazon link for reference.

So I backed this project ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta ) couple months ago and I just received it today posting here if anybody interested in picking one up it sounds like they'll start selling it soon to non backers. Way better than using this OTG like cable I've been using for a while now!

This is gonna be a very profitable accessory I can tell already. People stuck with low internal storage capacities need a need a compact product like this to meet their storage needs. The design is quite suave as well which is a plus. I'll look out for it, hopefully the price point is acceptable.
I backed this as well, looking forward to receiving it. Should be perfect for heavy media use.
Looks like the way it is shaped it will interfere with the micro port cover on the DNA.

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.

How do you even install this ? Just wondering for future reference hopefully not anytime soon...... But does the thing that hold it in place just gets pushed in there ? how will you take the old one out ? Or do you have to take the whole phone apart, Making the phone not being waterproof anymore which basically will be pointless since that is the whole point of this lol

Well no, but what other choice do you have? The bright side is it's only $5. I mean, the only other option is to get a wireless charging sticker (which breaks the water resistance anyway), or a real samsung wireless charing back cover. Both are more expensive than just replacing this flap every 2-3 months. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung if this is truly the case though.

I hope I won't need to replace it though. A $700 phone shouldn't need the user to replace a part every 2-3 months. The GS1 (att captivate) had a sliding door that never broke in 3 years of use. Maybe samsung should have done that.

How many people are having this issue? Sure hope mine isn't problematic like this. I'm getting an OtterBox Preserver case so i might just remove that cover to make it easier to plug in the charger plug. but then again, if the case were to ever fail, it would be nice to have that extra protection guarding the device.

So far, there's been 2 reports. One in this thread (obviously), and one in the accessories section. I've only had mine for about a month, so I guess that's why my flap is still fine. Hopefully it will stay fine though.
I found this for you guys. I'm definitely downloading this YouTube video for later use. I always seem to find youtube videos that have been removed when i actually need them lol

In the box was the cradle charger, quick start, and manual.
Ill be honest battery life has been terrible today. 100% charge at 7am and now at 240 im down to 19%. This could be because some things are on that shouldnt be because i dont have sprint service to it. So probably user error haha.
I dinked around with the GPS for a few. Ill still to my phone.
Havent tried. Ill let ya know.
Call quality when tethered to my phone is awesome. Sounds great. Kinda feel like **** Tracey lol.
Not a ton of app at the moment because its tinzen.
That was a notification for messenger. It can be turned off / on under gear settings.
Music is loud enough for the watch. I wouldnt use it on a daily as your main source of music though.
