Pardon my ignorance, but where did you get the genuine one from? Google did not help and showed me the same kind of stuff as the Ebay link in OP.

I got mine from Export Prive. They get their stuff from Korea, so they are quicker than the other eBay sellers. I even got the spare battery from the Korean market SGS II as in the photo. Note that you can just make out the words "Near Field Communication" on the battery. haha.
Thanks for telling about exportprive.com . It looks pretty good. Lots of stuff for the phone over there.
edit: finally found the charger and battery both on their website.

i noticed the manufacturer is Anymode not samsung so this isnt made by samsung but probably is the same manufacturer
Would my old Blackberry charger still work? Here is a picture of the two chargers (one samsung the other one blackberry)
I don't see any differences. They're both microusb. They have the same specifications as far as I could tell.
Can I use this old blackberry charger, too? (it has a much longer cord hehe)

I got one of those for my SGS (same charger, different pins). Been using it for about 8 months. Works fine. Batteries not the best but not exactly expensive.
My daughter burned through one of them in 50 minutes in the car , but as a spare for using the phone only, fine for 8/10 hours moderate use.

Well, Anymode seems to be the battery and other accessories supplier for Samsung, if you look at their LinkedIn page.

I got one of those external black battery chargers from eBay yesterday. It came with two 1800mAh batteried (1800? yeah right ).
The charger is extremely slow! Yesterday I discharged the original battery completely and today I put it in the charger. It's been 390 minutes and it is still charging. Yes, that is 6,5 hours and not done yet!
Nice to have an external charger, but this is rediculous.
How long does the original Samsung charger take to go from 0 -> 100% charge?
UPDATE:
Right... 7,5 hour to charge the original battery. That's 450 minutes with an average charge of 220mAh. Most likely the slowest charging I have seen in all my years of using mobile phones.

When plugged to the Samsung power adapter, it takes 3 hours 20 minutes average for me. When I use the Samsung external battery charger, it takes slightly shorter, I think 3 hours. It is probably because the battery is not being used to power the phone as is the case with the AC power adapter.
Thanks. Yes, that sounds reasonable. So around 650-700mAh on the original standalone charger, just like the internal. Better than my eBay piece of... you know what ;-)

Is that what you bought?
Yeh this seems way to good to be true. 2x 1800mAh batteries and the all important battery charger as its hard to charge both batteries with one phone.
But the pricer is really putting me off. Guessing no one has tried them yet????
Really tempted. Are these non-official batteries safe to use with the SGS2?
Hmm it looks too good to be true. I am tempted to get it though.
I just bought something like that. 2 batteries and a charger. I bought it for the charger, as I expect the batteries will be 1.000mAh max. Will buy a genuine battery when they appear someplace trustworthy.
I bought mine on....
Well from www.spider-foot.com they're very cheap and you get 3x screenprotectors for free. I think they are 1650mAh btw!
I just spent $800 on a phone, I'm not going to put some $10 Chinese battery in it so it can explode or melt - I'll just keep looking/waiting...
Search for EB-F1A2GBU and you'll find some genuine batts for 22 to 30E
That said i'd prefer having a batt + batt charger like the chinese sell, cause swapping batt to charge isnt fun, going to test it. For 8Eur, at least, the charger should be fine.. i hope

I completely agree, I figure I'll suffer for the first few weeks but will pick the one up in this thread once it's released:

Just received my original spare battery from Export Prive. The battery is a Korean-market one, and even says "Near Field Communication" on it! Here are photos of the front and rear, the Korean battery is on the left and the UK battery is on the right.
Also got the battery charger for it. I thought it was an aftermarket one since it was so cheap, but it turns out it is an original Samsung battery charger! Also doubles as a stand for your phone.

I understand your concerns but has anyone experienced exploding or melting, I say this because I have used similar batteries on my Samsung Omnia and the i9000. Never experienced any problems and used them for over a year or so.

I purchased the same 1800mAh battery from ebay and exploding or melting is very unlikely as even the cheap aftermarket batteries manufactured in China have an integrated chip preventing overcharging or exploding.
On the other hand the 1800mAh are nothing but an exaggeration because the real capacity is around 1000mAH meaning its just an emergency solution if you should run out of your main battery while on the go rather than a real replacement for the original battery.

How does the phone stand? since the bottom of the phone is curved.

They shoulda put a usb connector in the cradle base. That way you could charge your phone and your spare battery at the same time. Kind of odd that they didn't do that, IMHO.

They include a y-splitter with the external battery charger. This does allow you to charge both the phone and external battery charger at the same time.
When I got mine it also came with a NFC- capable stock Samsung battery. $25 total when I got it due to it being half off at the time.
BTW, IMO placing the phone vertically in the external battery charger is not terribly stable. You can set the phone sideways on the external charger, but unless your homescreen rotates (custom ROM feature), then the homescreen will be off by 90 degrees.
Please feel free to click thank you if I helped

Here's one.....
http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-charging-cradle.html
So back to the OP's question - does anyone have this item? I need something compact to charge a spare battery. Need to be 100% certain that this particular item works with VZW EXTENDED battery. Does the door close with the battery in it?
Any help is appreciated. I already bought 2 of these off ebay that claimed to work with i515 batteries and only fit the GSM battery. Sucks because they were $15 each and if I want to return them I have to pay return postage to Korea which is more than the refund I'd get. Long story short, I'm tired of buying the wrong item!
Do you guys know if they make one for the I9250 GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus? This one does not work with the GSM version.

Are you referring to the Verizon version? Does it work with an extended battery? By that I mean does the little door close when you are charging an extended battery?

Instead of having to buy a new battery charger for every new phone, I just went and bought this one:

It's a universal battery charger that can be used both from a normal socket and in a car.

Here all battery related topics please
About battery I wonder if there will be a way to replace it once warranty is over. Because I'm really concerned of battery longevity. I mean, after two years of intensive use its life will decrease quite a lot so does the current design may allow some not too hard replacement ?
since the battery isnt gonna be removable, i am currently considering buying a portable charger..
here are some i found.. would like an opinion on which capacity would be good..

the last link has the same capacity as the 2nd last but it is way cheaper.. is it safe?
Am not a big fan of portable chargers, I fear from it to load the battery not at the right current speed, making it last fewer on the long term... I'm probably wrong though
i am using the new trent 11000 mAh portable charger for my phones and its a beast. charges up my nexus s 6x before dying. Only downside is that it only charges one device at a time.

To me, it seems slightly counterproductive carrying around a phone and a portable charger. Especially with in car chargers, main sockets everywhere etc.
Not knocking anyone, just saying id rather carry just the phone, and extend the battery with the plethora of available settings and/or apps.
HTC One X battery - first time charge:
What's the consensus on the first time charging? I've read before (somewhere) that you should fully charge the phones battery before switching it on as this will give it a good charging condition. Or is that complete rubbish and you can just start charging and switch it on and set it up?

...I usually just open the box, plug it in to start charging, and turn the sucker on! I see no reasonably important reason to wait for 100% charge on first time use and have never seen evidence to support it does any good (or not doing so is bad).
Hypothetically, they tell you to charge it because if the battery is too low and you turn on the device, you will damage the battery. I just plug it in, give it a min, and turn it on.
Got the device 2 days ago ... will report on battery usage
There have been several recommendations for chargers in different threads based on experience with other phones. Has anyone any experience of charging a ONE X from an external battery and would they recommend the charger they have used?

i just got this cable in black but the animation of how fast the light "flows" doesn't change according to the charging level.
I emptied my battery to 0% and plugged in the cable, the speed is nothing like shown in the video demonstration (iphone version).

what kind of charger do you have it connected to? If you are using a standard car charger or your PC it might not give it enough amps to use the light streaming feature, just a thought.

Since I'm a sucker for the white SGSII and SGSIII, I'm gonna order up that one to match better! Now to wrap my Seidio Innodock Jr in white to complete the package!

Does it stop when its full? Thats probably what Im most interested in. I would like to just glance into my office and know if its charged or not.

Yes your be able to see it if th room is very dark..
With both my pc's I kept getting the usual USB connected/discon windows sound while it was plugged in to phone.. USB2 & 3... It did light up but very dim... My Z77 motherboard has the extra juice that charge iPads but lights were still dim... And the disconnects got annoying
If I plug it into the official phone charger it's brighter but not anywhere near the video brightness
Also seems tobe 1 speed no matter what % battery is at... I gave up so didn't see if stopped when battery was full charged

what kind of charger do you have it connected to? If you are using a standard car charger or your PC it might not give it enough amps to use the light streaming feature, just a thought.

I just found out it's a 0.5A charger so it might really be not enough juice to trigger faster/slower animation but the problem remains even if I connect it to my PC which should deliver more than enough juice especially on the ports which are directly connected to the Mainboard.
Although I have to mention that I'm using this cable to charge my S2, I don't have an S3 yet, but I think this shouldn't make much of a difference to the described issue.

Well, I didn't test this yet but I'll be sure to report back if that is the case.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, wonder if other people also face the same situation.
Would be nice if other people could also post their experience about the EZOPower cable
If it's just a .5A charger like the above guy said, its just a simple matter of swapping out some resistors inside one end of the cable.
I ordered the white EZO cable, I'll be able to comment in a few days when mine comes in.
Like the titles says.
I keep seeing mixed answers from different review sites.
It has wireless charging capability. Which means you will be able to buy an lg circle case and you can wirelessly charge. Or no sung in a few weeks there will be a thousand knock off after market backs with it built in.
It appears likely that most or all models will not have an out of the box back where you can wirelessly charge.

So, does it work like Samsung S5/Note 4 where you need to buy the special back that will give you wireless charging? Does it have special connectors built in under the removable back?

Yep. I'm currently doing that with my S3. Though, instead of buying a whole separate back, I'm using a wireless receiver, like the one below:

As for the connector thing, looks like it since here's a picture of the back of the phone without the back cover from Michael Fisher's review from Pocketnow:

Considering you can buy the circle cases for the G4, I don't see why you can't buy the lil receiver like I have with my S3. I definitely know the S4, S5, and Note 4 for sure had those receivers you could use, but I honestly wasn't aware if the manufacturers of these made them for other devices besides the ones I mentioned.
Ok, now I have to consider this phone. Thanks!
Can't live without wireless charging anymore. Airdock + 3 QI chargers at home + 1 in my office.

No prob. Glad to help.
Haha, I know the feeling. I only even bought the receiver for my S3 since the charging port is all messed up, so this pretty much is buying time before I upgrade later this summer. Not a deal breaker if a phone doesn't have it, BUT it's super convenient and in my case, saves me from having to buy more batteries that'll be useless in less than 3 months.
Speaking of wireless charging, you have any recommendations for battery packs with Qi charging built in? I've seen a few, but I don't know anyone who's actually used one. Just the usual ones you plug into the charging port.

Moto 360
Note 4 with oem QI charging back
Nexus 7 2013
Nexus 5
Does the European version come with wireless charging like the G3 did?

Negative, only the QuickCircle case has QI built in. But Im sure there will be $5 stickers on eBay to connect to any back cover in the near future.
