I know that's cheap. But I would still rather buy a quality 5000mah one for 10x the price.

aestetically speaking, they all looks horrible as a battery solution
i much prefer taking off the back cover to swap in another pack of 1500 than hooking up one of those listed above
it's not simply the looks, it also affects usability.
you can't go about your business with are battery pack hanging around in a wire

Well, with an external charger you can just connect it while not using the phone, and have it top up the battery. I don't see any aesthetic issues doing it that way. It's a great deal easier than opening up the phone and replace the battery. The ultimate would be charger/battery case for i9000 that allows charging from mains, charging to to mini-usb, and use standard i9000 batteries.

I bought one, and it doesnt seem to work at all. Phone changes to 'Charging (AC)' and then immediately flips to 'Not Charging' when you look in battery status.

You have to get the "Charging" Micro-USB cable. The one that comes with the phone is a data + charging.
Mine works fine with the samsung eneloop 5000mah.

I've seen a few sites selling external antennas for the Charge. I live out in the vast wilderness of East Bumblecrapfail, NC, and only have, at best, one bar of 3g signal at my house. I am beyond the reach of cable or DSL. I need something better than this HughesNet abomination that I mockingly call a net connection. Halp! Are these things safe? Will they do anything to boost my signal? Anyone have any experience with them? HELP A NERD OUT, I JUST WANT INTERTUBES AT HOME. Thanks in advance.
If u can swallow spending about $350.,I bought a cell-phone mate ®booster with directional outside antenna and dome inside antenna which they say covers 2500 sq ft. Cellphone mate was the only one that put out a full 3 Watts. Wilson and others just 1 and a half. Its also made of cast aluminum instead of plastic. At my fish camp I went from 1 bar outside to 4-5 bars inside. You definitely need the upgraded antennas tho. Their good for about 15 DB gain.get the dual band and it'll work on everything but IDEN networks. They are starting to make 4g boosters too. YMMV

Awesome! I heard someone saying something about boosters frying the modem on the charge, though. is this the case or is that the ramblings of a paranoid/incompetent/unlucky techie?
Don't stick anything on the charge as far as R1L1 ports on the back of the phone. I messed up my Charge doing that.
I have noticed that the Thunderbolt has an external antenna on the batter cover. I'd love to somehow copy this method. My bro's thunderbolt always gets great 4G

Could you share what you did that caused issues with your Charge? I am quite interested in making use of those ports, but I am trying to gather as much info about them as possible before I cause problems.
Pretty sure those ports are for factory adjustment of the radio, and not for external antennas.

Uhh.. stuck a copper wire in like some stupid youtube video.. Don't do this.. it will mess up your connections.. you'll lose all connections.
Wilson and some other company showed off a $150 external antenna for 4G Verizon LTE phones at CES. We'll probably get a much better look at their products during Mobile World Congress in the end of February. IIRC they plan on releasing it Q2 of this year.
As has been pointed out, the antenna doesn't connect directly to the Charge, as that would permanently disable the Charge's internal antennas. Rather, you set the Charge in a cup holder-type device, which is connected by wire to a separate antenna. I think the phone holder wirelessly transmits the amplified signal from the antenna, over the wire, and to the phone.
Why does plugging stuff in even permanently disable the internal antennas? What sort of benefit is that supposed to have?

It sounds like it breaks some hardware antenna points, not some software detecting and permanently disabling.

when i was stuck with a non worth mentioning Fascinate i had problems out the yeng yang trying to make and recieve calls here at home. (SE TN.) Once i griped enough they offered me a choice between droidx2 or this charge. i chose the charge because of the humming bird processor.
after reading many spec sheets from where ever on the net i discovered that the Charge spec stated it had an antenne, no where does the Fassy specs so state that fact.
but i'd like to jump in on this band wagon about the R1 L2 ports..
if and when someone finds info on it send me a pm.. sometimes i am smart enough to check for them...
best of luck on antenne ..
BTW Verizon told me i could get that booster thingy and i told them i bought a ph that was supposed to work and had no plans to buy optional 500 to make ph wrk. charge does well with one of those stick in antenne under the battery..
might get ya by.. and cheap also...
Yeah, these ports intrigue me. I haven't seen any other phones that actually have these ports. I want to boost some signal!
There is a side on Google Plus that hooked up a home made antenna to one of the ports. I will post the link when I get to a computer later.

Usually the ports are hidden inside the phone. My old HTC Tilt Windows mobile phone has the port showing. That's where I learned about what they are for. Some dumbass stuck a paperclip in it and fried his cell radio.
Where do we get this? Charging within 6 feet of the source with nothing more than losing your ability to reproduce (yes, fine, nothing has been proven, but honestly, really, that much voltage coursing through the air, who thinks this is good for you? BUT, it means always charged devices, so that's a plus, who needs kids any way? (yes, for all of you about to go up in arms, this is sarcasm)).

Funny thing how they "Advertise" 3 crApple products, which dont even know what "Fast Charging" is neither "Wireless Charging" but we all waiting for that moment lol, iCrap 7 with "World changing, and Amazing Innovation" Fast Charging, then by 2018 7s with "Wireless Charging" then it will become more important, its just sad lol
Our chipset has support for Qualcomm WiPower, yet they have no actual chargers in the market. I sent them an email about it, but they never even responded. It's not a fully wireless room-filling technology, but it gives you much broader range/area to charge than Qi and doesn't require a different back.

You can have a special transducer surgically implanted into your spine which allows you to charge your phone just by holding it. But it only works if you're in a good mood. The chipset supports positive energy only.

Actually the product exist, but not for consumers, I was offered to test the wipower or what they used to call it A4WP, but due to hi cost I rejected the offer.
I think the reason why it's not available since it's been available for a good few years now, is probably it hasn't passed a certain test due to hi frequencies that may affect people, although is low radiation, but does have a longer range that the current QI standard.

I had been thinking about this. Is there any way to use or convert or transform those non-removable/embedded/built-in/internal batteries as external/removable batteries? Does the built-in batteries also have the 3-pins like removable batteries inside? Is it possible?
Probably with some soldering and electrical know how, sure. Not sure it would be worth it, but yeah.

Possible? Yes
But....
Very impractical for more reasons than I can list due to the fact that you're talking about doing it with lithium batteries which are unstable to begin with, in part, it's that instability that make them a good energy source. Controllably unstable like the engines on a rocket ship, in control but just barely enough to get it to do what you want as long as you don't deviate from its design/function and can go wrong at any moment with the slightest change in variables.
In my opinion, you're more likely to start a fire or at least burn a device up than have any kind of sensible long term success.
I'm sure we all have heard about the note 7 and the hover board incedents, right? That's all I could picture when I read this OP.
Yikes!!!

Please explain your nonsensical post
Please explain why the connection between the phone and a non-removable battery differs so much from a built - in battery that it would be dangerous. They're virtually identical. I have to consider your post propaganda from the phone companies that benefit from the planned obsolescence unless you reply. I'm considering converting a note 10 so I can upgrade from a note 4 finally. Would like to do so safely. Hope you get this and respond because you sound like you know what you're talking about, but I'm old enough to have encountered good liars, and I simply can't see why this would be as dangerous as you're trying to make it seem. The note 7 was a problem with the battery itself, not the fact that it was built-in or removable. Thanks.

If the battery is the same form factor, same dimensions, has the contacts in the correct location to make a connection, has the contact points in the correct order/configuration(+ in the correct position and - in the correct position) and is rated with the same specs as the original battery, it might work.
But, I think it is a shot in the dark, I doubt you'll find a battery that will actually fit and connect at the right points. If you are considering trying to use wire to connect the battery to the contact points in the phone, I'll go ahead and tell you that is a bad idea.

Adding the wire between the battery and the contact pins changes the amount of resistance between the battery and the contact pins, this difference will probably, at some point, lead to some kind of hardware damage/failure.

Hello guys,
Got my wife a OP7 the other day. Is it safe to use her charger with my OP6? Asking because it'd save us space on the power strip, but also I want to buy a new car charger and was wondering if I could go for a OP7 one...
I tried googling but the answers I found were confusing.
Thanks!

Whatever rating you read on the label, your phone only pulls the current it needs from the brick. So no, it won't fry your phone. Just make sure you are using only original accessories.

It applies to A, not Ah. You don't need to worry much about voltage because both dash and warp are 5V.
Yes, sorry, that was an obvious mistake. Thanks for the voltage clarification!
