I bought this at Amazon, plugged it in last night, set my Sprint LG G3 on it, and... nothing.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7L6GJC
I went back to the Amazon page and read a little bit more. The first question (that I missed when I bought it) asked if it worked with an AT&T LG G3; the answer was "no, a wireless receiver is required."
I emailed the seller to return it, stating that it required an additional piece of hardware. The seller replied that it does NOT require any additional hardware.
So who is right?
AT&T model of G3 uses PMA wireless charging standard, instead of Qi and so it would never work.
In the case of Sprint G3 (and other US carrier models), I believe none of them come with battery doors that have Qi charging pins.
You have 3 options
Replace the battery door with one that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a Quick Circle case that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a wireless charging sticker, open your the battery door, affix the sticker at the right spot on the battery door and put it back
The third will be the cheapest option. Here is a video.
Thanks!
I see some cheap cases on Amazon for about $10 that include the Qi charging sticker. I see the stickers for about $5 if I go with the cheapest vendors.
Does that sound about right?
Are there any caveats? Is it better to buy from an established seller rather than a knockoff from overseas?
I personally buy knockoffs from China all the time and had very little issues. If the price difference is significant, I prefer the cheaper ones.
For example the 6000+ mah internal battery I bought for G3 cost me $12 from China. Compared that to the same capacity battery from Mugen which costs $90.

Did you need an extended battery cover for that large of a capacity?

Yes I do. The extended battery is double in thickness. Check this photo album (not mine, but same battery and cover).

Keep in mind that cover you see in the pictures, does not have Qi charging and NFC pins.

I see that Mugen have updated their website to say that standard size and large capacity batteries will be available for the TC at the end of April

Looking forward to the OEM sized high capacity battery.
Thanks for the heads up.

thanks matey
Nicely spotted Reteb. Thanks. I've been hoping for this for a while
I see the capacities are still TBD. Judging by the currently shipping TyTN II batteries it would be reasonable to expect at least the same, i.e. 1500mAh for the same-size replacement and 3000mAh for the over-sized replacement.
Does anyone have any experience with Mugen power batteries? I came here from the PalmOS world and my previous device was a Sony Clie TH-55. That had quite an active forum and one thing we discovered there was that there were a lot of third-party batteries out there for the TH-55 which, if you just looked at the manufacturer's claimed mAh ratings, should have delivered between 15% and 20% extra battery life per charge compared to the factory-fitted battery.
What we actually found by running standard battery discharge test programs on many devices was that in real life the replacement batteries at best only just matched, and in most cases failed to match, the performance of the factory-fitted battery. Whether this was because of dishonest labelling by the manufacturers or whether it was because they had sat on shelves in hot warehouses for too long was never determined.
I just hope that Mugen power label their batteries honestly and store them properly before shipment because even a 1500mAh battery should in theory be an 11% increase over the factory-fitted one and that would give me another 80 minutes of music playing time on my device so definitely worth having.

Here is one new extended capacity monster for the Touch Cruise.

Have you seen this one?:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/replacement-battery-for-htc-touch-cruise-p3650-p-1028.html
Is not extended, but I think, the cheapest...and it works as the original one!!!
I bought two batteries and a lot of more things (cases, car support, protectors, cradle, stylus..), and I have to say its a very serious shop..
Wow, that's pretty cheap, I prefer to have one or two spare if I'm away for a while rather than having a huge bulge sticking out of the back. No catch? Will this also be the replacement battery for the Orbit 2?
Spare Battery - Cheap.
Found this on eBay, and checked just now (August 4, 2008) and they still have them. Ships from Asia, but arrived in under a week and is absolutely dirt cheap and perfect quality. The wall charger is the only convenient way to charge a spare battery, and the battery plus the charger together for $7 + 6.50 shipping is amazing.
And, of course, i do realize that i sound like the spokesperson for the seller - but it's really an amazing deal and i wanted to share witcha
http://cell-phones.shop.ebay.com/it...lnZ1QQ_sacatZ20336QQ_ssnZkangdigitalQQ_ssovZ1
anyone saw that?
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/09/give-lg-g3-twice-battery-life-mugen-powers-6200mah-extended-battery.html
I'll just have a spare handy and retain my wireless charging. No desire to carry around a brick. $99 seems pricey for a battery and non-charging cover.
I would almost get it but I've invested too much in my tylt qi chargers, both emotionally and fiscally.
I wonder if you could move the sticker to the new back cover then use some wires to make the connection and have qi still.
Might be tempted if LG wasn't giving away free batteries and chargers. Free is better than $100, even if you have to carry it around and swap.
At that price il just wait til Zero Lemon drops their battery in 2 weeks. More powerful and cheaper. Thankd for the link though
Too thick in my opinion.
Here is the link.
Hey everyone, I recently got these off Amazon.ca for $9.99 CAD (plus $5.54 shipping). At first I thought it was probably an error since these go for $29.99 USD on Amazon.com. But I can confirm that this is not an error.
EDIT: It was shipped from California, USA, and it arrived in 7 business days in BC, Canada.
Here are some things I would like to clarify for you:
-The package came with 2 batteries that are labeled 3000 mAh (On Amazon.ca it is advertised as 2800 mAh)
-NFC works with these batteries
-Both batteries are the same colour (Dark blue)
-Seems to be of decent quality (My opinion)
-Charger is included as advertised
Firstly, I want to clarify the NFC issue that people have. The NFC antenna in the LG G3 is on the back cover, and therefore NFC will work with any battery. Caseology advertises these batteries as "Non-NFC" because other phone batteries has their antenna in the battery. This is not the case with LG G3, so ignore that all together and take my word for it. NFC works with these batteries.
As to whether or not these batteries actually hold 3000 mAh, I have no method in testing that. I haven't used them all that much recently, but the usage of a battery is highly dependent on the user. So for those of you in doubt, you should probably just try them yourself, it doesn't get cheaper than this.
One problem I have had with these batteries is that it is slightly thicker than my OEM battery (+0.5 mm?). It is noticeable enough.
The back cover is not as easy to put back on with these batteries, but it is still possible to put them on without damage. I have the D855, so maybe the QI back panel has something to do with it?
Let me know if you guys have any questions, hope this helped!
Please change the subject to include the total price
Thanks just ordered. Total came to $18.48 USD shipped.
@lexluthor good point, I'll say it's canadian + shipping. Since shipping isn't a flat rate.
@BrunoSlivar I edited the thread with the answer to your question. Try to post it in the thread instead of PM, it'll benefit everyone by doing so.
What the best wireless battery cover for my note 3, need to use the new option in 05 camry.
Thanks
You can find the Samsung OEM wireless charging battery cover on fleaBay for around $15.
I notice that there are also Mugen "wireless ready" covers that fit their extended batteries for $20. Kind'a cool if you don't want to ever be concerned about how much charge you have - and don't mind a fatter phone.
I'm pretty sure that neither the OEM not the mugen will work with any of the "standard" cases.

What's a decent wireless battery cover that uses the stock battery size and has a smoooth back surface so I can attach my Kickstand4U (which are now back in stock)?
http://www.remotesystems.com/kickstand4u
i am using the amazon cheotec coil with the stock cover in my note 3. works though an otterbox defender
anyone know if I get a Samsung oem wireless charge back cover if it fits into a otter case and if it will charge through the otter case?
thaks
I don't know about an otterbox, but mine will charge through a UAG case when positioned correctly (edit: aftermarket coil in stock battery cover).
I got the wireless charging cover for $15 shipped on ebay, from a US seller. Came in retail packaging.

No it doesn't, won't fit in the inner clam shell. I use a Qi coil that lays on your battery from amazon for $10, works great with otterbox defender case on.

Doesn't it take forever to charge?I may buy one if not
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
I got one of these instead, and just use the original batter cover that came with the phone.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GFGL0XE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
It works through a thing TPU/gel case, which is my preferred type.
I use this one with stock back and with S View cover (fully functional), and there is a slight bulge but not bad. With the stock back, no issues in any of my cases.

The retail Samsung wireless charging back consistently gets 25-30ma more when charging. Not really enough to make a difference. Wireless charging takes ~3x as long as using the stock Samsung adapter and USB 3.0 cable IME. I swap batteries when I need to be fully charged. I use wireless just because it is so convenient to set my phone down on a qi dock at my desk or my nightstand.

CZ Eddie, yup, kickstand4u kickstands are back in stock - yours was shipped today! Thank you for your order and support!
FYI, I have a Sprint LG G3 (rooted) and a LG G4 (stock) both with wireless charging backs with a kickstand installed and a 3 coil TYLT charging stand - they both work fine, but it seems that the LG G4 is not as finicky in placement on the stand for a good wireless connection.
I bought the sview wireless charging cover approx 1 year ago via amazon, around £35. Highly recommended, works beautifully. You wont regret paying the extra cash.
You guys believe this is indeed a genuine product? the seller really emphasizes the legitimacy of it a number of times in the description.. given the price what do you guys thinks?

It's even cheaper on Aliexpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...1899f9bbcf48fbbcb-1497181164482-05162-2v37IQv
As for authenticity, it will probably be the same Samsung charger that is sold without the Samsung branding. What happens in China is once they get the specs and production blueprints from the OEM, they start making on the side for themselves, in addition to supplying the OEMs with required number. Remember the previous fast wireless charger from Samsung which they sold for $75? The same thing has been available on Aliexpress for over a year now for about $15 and I have not seen anyone complaining about it.
Three years back I bought a 3 coil wireless charger called Itian A6 from Aliexpress for less than half the price of Tylt Vu from which they cloned it. And to this day it is working fine and I am currently using it to charge my S8+. But at this price, I am seriously considering getting the clone of Samsung's new convertible wireless charger.
Well.. this dude proves the non genuine Samsung wireless charger is crap, which is the main reason I asked the question:
Issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkR3H1Tnlp0
Resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr4RlrfHIMk
I guess that can also happen. But if you buy from Aliexpress, you have buyer protection and all you need to do is make a video that demonstrates the issue (within the stipulated time) and you will get a full refund.
In 2015 I and a friend bought 16000mah power banks by Choetech that can charge itself and other devices with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 spec. When we got the power banks, my friend's was working fine but mine won't charge itself with QC2.0 (as indicated by the lack of green LED) although it did charge other devices with QC2.0 speeds. I took some photos indicating the issue and the seller issued a full refund of $30.

What a douche, he buys a fake one and whines about it that it doesn't work.
Personally i wouldn't buy anything from china that says its genuine and is half price of the original msrp, expect it to be fake.
I bought one of these it's definitely fake, it feels cheap and nasty. It's not even leather... it's hard rubber you can even see the joint molding on the side. It scent is very strong, I usually have my qi charger sitting in front of me on my desk just above my keyboard but now its back in the box waiting to hear back from the seller for a refund.
The sliding mechanism does not slide like the genuine product doesn't feel solid, cheap sliding mech with a lot of friction.
The bottom rubber which is suppose to help the device not slide around doesn't even touch the table it's too thin.
Also does not come with a charger or cable just the pad and clearly a poor quality USB-C adapter due to the print was half faded.
After all that it does support fast charging which was surprising lol I haven't tested it long enough to see if it cuts out etc
Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to NOT buy these then..
