maybe to solve the battery problems we could all buy emergency chargers.
if you have one with solar panels and batteries yu can charge your diamond everywhere.
and you do not need to have a thicker diamond.

maybe sould get a discount buy-action (inkoop actie)
But i'm off to holiday so we maybe do that later.
i got the solar charger today.
is is almost a thin as the diamond ;-)
but it charges the diamond pretty quick. just put this in your bag and you can keep the diamond in your pants. no need for an extra battery, thicker diamond etc.

Yeah, I am joining to question. Which one/where did you buy it?
Thanks in advance!

I ordered one for me too. Could you tell me how do you connect it to Diamond?
In the description stays "4 x Connection Cable (Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and Sony Ericsson)". Is there any adapter to USB or something else?
I think Motorola also uses mini usb.
the different connectors were inside.
i sent an email to the company explaining which conectors i needed.
there is also an usb exentension cord included. so you can basically connect anything with a normal usb connection

Don't forget that if you're just using solar to charge up, the small size solar panel will mean it will take a day or two in constant very strong sunlight.
I've got a solio charger which folds out to 3 solar panels which are each as big as this. Living in good ol' blighty with it's not so sunny days, it can take 3-4 days to fully charge the internal battery (1000mah), one of these single panel jobs would take over a week
cant you connect these up to a power source and charge the internal battery that way?
then when your out you just insert the emergency charger to the phone.
I've got a Solio in Sydney and it's still not great, but yes you can charge them off a usb port, which is what I am doing for now. Not as environmentally friendly but it works and is a useful spare power supply.
Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160923480453
It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?
wow, that thing adds wireless charging to a phone that doesn't have wireless charging. that's pretty cool. sorry it didn't work with the N4 tho

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.

Thanks for the post. I had actually been looking at this one on eBay. It's only $50usd shipped in the US ebay. I'm sorry you bought something and ended up waisting your money, but I appreciate you sharing your experience with others so we don't make the same mistake.

It also has a few other neat features like remote thermometer. However I'm returning mine for a few reasons.
1. the atomic clock set didn't work
2. viewing angle extremely limited
3. bright blue charging indicator
I'd probably have kept it if not for #1.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :

The Qi Cover is separate like last year. The S View Covers are probably the same.

If you're talking about the OEM desk dock, it won't work because the Note 3 dock is USB 3.0 and the Note 4 is USB 2.0.
Anyone have an idea of when the official accessories will be available, like the wireless charging back? Not sure how long I'm willing to go without wireless charging on my Note 4.

That would be my first thought too, but I currently have a USB 2 dock that works great for the Note 3. So, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that it will work. I would like to ditch my Chinese knock-off dock with an official Samsung dock to gain 1920*1080 output. My knock-off dock only outputs 1280*720; but it is a fraction of the cost of the official dock...
So, I'll try my current dock when my Note 4 arrives and post my results. Then, if it does work, I'll spring for the official dock...
Is it weird that I'm only getting this phone because of that LED wallet cover thing?

Hey Dcmtnbkr
How is that charger? I ordered mine right after you there were still 4 in-stock, it showed shipped with arrival today. Now I get an update from Amazon that it will ship on the 10th with an arrival of 14th (it was a prime item and in-stock when I ordered, not real happy). Is your's working well (not overheating, giving a full charge)? Thanks for any feedback.

Bummer to hear man! So far so good on the charger.
Let me preface this by saying that I received the charger at a pretty good discount in exchange for an honest review (not free, just not full price).
I've been using it on a 2amp charger, which I was a bit apprehensive to do since the stock charger is I believe 750ma. The watch does get warm to the touch, but certainly not hot at all and I suspect if I used it with a 1 amp or even 750ma charger it probably wouldn't get warm at all. I will try to confirm that tonight. I haven't had the watch itself long enough to say if this charger is any faster, but it seems to charge at a good rate. No problems getting a full charge on it and the battery lasts the same as it would had I charged it on the stock charger.
As for looks, it looks extremely similar but not exactly the same as my stock charger (although it's black, my charger is white). The material is almost like a matte rubber. I personally don't care for it, but I have weird things about texture and I know most people wouldn't care one way or the other. The only real difference that I noticed is that the back is slightly larger and the angle is slightly different. The LED lights on the front are a different color as well. It is a tricolor LED which shows a different color for charging, charged, and standby (nothing sitting on the dock).
The dock does have a foam ring on the bottom as well, i guess to help it not slide? Not sure if this is effective or not. Doesn't seem like it would be but I'm not sure.
Let me know if you guys have any questions, but I'm overall very happy with it.
Thanks for the review and pictures. I will let my order stand and hopefully it will ship by the end of the week. I want to keep a charger at work for those days I forgot to charge my watch at home. It is half the price of the original Samsung charger, and is perfect for my needs of an occasional charge.
I also have a Moto 360 2nd Gen and I keep an aftermarket charger at work for it. It makes the watch slightly warm also, but does a good job of 100% charging the watch.

They updated my status again and sent me the charger on the 9th. It works very well, same experience as Dcmtnbkr, does not overheat, gives me a very fast charge. The magnet is not as strong, but adequate. Overall very happy with my extra charger for the office.
I have one of those cheap aftermarket (china) Moto 360 chargers. It is just OK. It will sometimes only charge to 98% and then seem to act up, it also makes the watch a little warm. I keep it at my office for emergencies only.
That is why I was a little skeptical of the S2 aftermarket charger. Also I am charging an S2 3G version of the watch which is a little thicker, but it seems to work great.

This thread is about an aftermarket Gear S2 charger. It is about half the price of the Samsung OEM charger. It so far seems to be a great charger.
I have tried my Gear S2 on the Moto 360 charger. Very unstable results for me, will start to charge then stop, I was able to get a good charge one time, overall not a very good solution. That is why the Gear S2 aftermarket charger was interesting to me. I have seen some other threads where people are having mixed results with a Moto 360 charger.
I have also seen a wide variety of aftermarket chargers pop up on the web that advertise for the Gear S2. Some of the photos look like a Moto 360 charger, I would be skeptical of these. The link in the post is for a product that at least for me looks and acts much like the OEM charger.
I understand the thread is about a specific after market charger, I just wondered if there was something special about the wireless charging protocol Samsung is using. Had you stated the details about why you chose this one in the OP or anywhere else in the thread I wouldn't have commented.
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation I'll probably order one, it's nice to have spares.

I received the charger from the link. Seems to work well. It may run slightly hotter than the stock charger, but otherwise, it's good. The magnet is a little less strong too, but the watch is still held in place.
When I use another charger, the gear s2 connect and disconnect (the charge) many times! Does somebody know why?
I've looked around with no luck. Considering that most of the "lipstick" ones must have a regular 18650 battery inside, the 3A output is *amply* inside the range of good batteries output (several manufacturers offer 18650 batteries capable of constant 10A output with 3.500mAh capacity, I hope that there are products like this.
Thank for the help.

There aren't many. Your best bet is the one that tronsmart makes. It's available from Amazon for 30 bucks.

I suppose you are referring to this: http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-presto-10400
While interesting is different from what I'm seeking. 6p has got a 3.500mAh battery, I would be good with a power bank worth one full charge. I come from a Note 3 and I always went out with a spare battery in my bag. Weight was less than 100g and size... well it's a Note 3 battery, I think the idea is clear. Now the "lipstick" shaped power banks are the right size and given their capacity it's obvious they have a 18650 inside... but I can't find any supporting USB C fast charging (5V/3A).
This seems interesting, too bad it's not buyable anywhere at the moment (not that I can find, I'm in Europe).
^That looks cool...

Yes it does. To be honest I'm surprised at the dearth of products on offer that support USB-C fast charging. It's been adopted on enough phones that I was expecting something more in the sub 10,000mAh range. Bringing a 10,000mAh with you is beyond the scope of even heavy phone use on a daily basis. Whereas I can see myself needing to top up at most one full charge during a day. For that, considering the loss due to efficiency, a 4,000mAh power bank would be enough for Nexus and other phones.
Let's hope that this LeEco power bank comes to US/Europe soon (or at least to websites such as GearBest and GeekBuying).

I can recommend the ORICO 10000mAh usb-c battery pack.
It's not 3A, but 2.4A, however it still charges my Nexus 6P in about 1h 30m.
The good thing is that it supports charging two devices at the same time (one over the usb-c, and one over the standard usb port).
It also looks great, it's worth checking out.
I think there's a review of it here on xda.

So absolutely not what the OP was asking about then?
To the question actually asked, unless you can fit this beast in one of your pockets, I'm pretty sure there's nothing out there that will meet your needs..

after having this phone for about a year, the battery health has gone down so that it is almost always dead by 7-8pm now.. and carrying around a battery has become absolutely necessary in case I go out for dinner or drinks w/ friends after work...
when I have my bag w/ me.. the Orico is fine but when I'm going out w/ just a jacket.. I would like a smaller lipstick sized solution too..
Its frustrating that even after a year (and now w/ launches of the Pixels), its still so hard to find USB-C accessories :-/

I've looked around with no luck. Considering that most of the "lipstick" ones must have a regular 18650 battery inside, the 3A output is *amply* inside the range of good batteries output (several manufacturers offer 18650 batteries capable of constant 10A output with 3.500mAh capacity, I hope that there are products like this.
Thank for the help.

Ever seen this one? It's size is manageable, it's a GMYLE 10000mAh and has a micro USB in, just in case you don't have a type C cable around
Thanks, but I really would like something that took the 18650 battery form factor and built a charger around it. I know their capacity, I know they are more than enough for whatever need I might have. Once I have a full charge with me I'm set. Unfortunately I'm not finding it... I might even accept to forfeit the USB C fast charging capacity if there was one...
I use this one and I love it. Also has a nice extra usb port so you can charge your 6P alongside another device, or charge a device while the battery pack charges. I get probably 3 full charges out of it.

Single 18650 requires voltage step up and won't fill the battery,biggest 18650 I've seen is 3400 mah. That is about the size of 6p battery but its not a 100% efficient process. You lose some from the step up to 5 volts and lose some to heat and some to resistance of connectors and cable.

I use and love the aukey one. I think is around 15000mah. It's nice and slim. And it charges faster than my 3a car charger from aukey lol

...While interesting is different from what I'm seeking. 6p has got a 3.500mAh battery, I would be good with a power bank worth one full charge. I come from a Note 3 and I always went out with a spare battery in my bag. Weight was less than 100g and size... well it's a Note 3 battery, I think the idea is clear. Now the "lipstick" shaped power banks are the right size and given their capacity it's obvious they have a 18650 inside... but I can't find any supporting USB C fast charging (5V/3A).

Check out this one here. Although the Ebay website's description is incomplete, other websites clearly indicate the Aukey PB-Y5 is capable of 5V-3A output. Looks like the ticket for one full charge. Unfortunately they are not shipped from the US yet so I will wait. Credit goes to MrTemz.

This one works rather well for me. The US link to the same company mentioned above.

Oh man, THANK YOU. Even better ('cause it saves me a little money), I found the AUKEY PB-Y8 which is only for USB Type C. In Europe, Amazon carries it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cell-Pho...-Input-Output-Cable-Devices-Nexus/B01M0UEMYV/ (not only for UK). Thank you so much!
