Anyone have an extra regular back?

My dog chewed up my back cover for my phone and I cannot afford a new one right now. I know a lot of people have extended batteries thus have bought new backs, I am wondering if someone may have one they have absolutely no use for and would be willing to donate it (i'd cover shipping of course)
If this is not allowed on XDA I am sorry and please delete.

Probably almost as cheap look on eBay for display dummy phones and get one that has free shipping. I've been told the back will fit but I have no idea. Just suggesting what was suggested to me.

Nevermind guys. My dad got me one for Christmas
BenHoliday I appreciate your offer very much and that is very very thoughtful of you.
But like I said my dad surprised me and bought me one

Check your PM

Would just like to say thanks publicly to BenHolliday. I never meant for anyone to purchase one, I just thought someone might have a back up.
Very solid guy and I feel really guilty for you not letting me buy you something back

Just wanted to share the love!

Was a huge (and welcome) surprise to see the price drop on the website. Wonder if the price drop will cause a big influx of webtop/laptopdock questions in a week or so when everyone gets their new toy.

I bet there will be a metric crap-ton of posts like "Why doesn't CM7 have WebTop?"
In all seriousness, this is a killer deal. ATT is probably clearing out their stock so if you want one you'd better get it now or never.

if you buy it from AT&T, will they make you get a tethering plan?

Buying the dock from AT&T (in this case) is the same as buying it from any other store. So no, the act of buying the LAPTOPDOCK from them will not add a tethering plan to your bill.

Thank you OP for posting this. I've been contemplating about the webtop and for this price its too good of a deal to pass up so I finally pulled the trigger, I'll have to give up CM7 but thats okay i'm sure someone can make it work with CM7 later. Thanks OP for finding this.

CM9 might make the webtop a whole new ballgame, too. That's what I'm waiting for.
Let me clarify- HDMI mirroring at native (not upscaled) resolution? Or dynamically switching displays so as to resize everything? Count me in.

Don't hold your breath. From what the CM developers have said, actually implementing the Motorola webtop would be VERY difficult. I believe it's very tied in to Motoblur. A better chance of seeing plain Ubuntu...

Hello to all here on the lapdock thread. Just received mine today, one of the $99 new ones from Motorola. Pretty amazing the functionality added to the phone for such a low price. I wasnt sure what to expect.
Over the last few days I ve been doing a little research on the various CM7 threads --mainly the nightly for the Atrix 4G and I think someone has ported a version of Debian that will run on the CM7 ROM for Webtop and Lapdock. I flashed an earlier version of CM7 but ended up back on 4.5.91 after problems with CM7. Would be nice to have something a little different than the current desktop on the laptop but to me its pretty amazing as it is. Thid is my first thread post here from my Atrix using the lapdock. Nice accessory for a low price.
Thanks to everyone on XDA Atrix4G. I ve learned a lot !

Sure! I wanted to make sure folks participating in the XDA forum knew about the deal... because I selfishly wanted more discussion about it now that I am getting one . My evil plan is already working!
As far as CM7, I hope there is some sort of port. But for now I'm happy.

I'm using the home base rom and the webtop is neat but not overwhelmingly so. for the price I'm going to hang onto it, but I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to use it now or switch to CM7 and just sit on the dock for awhile until I see something that piques my interest.

can this be bought in store or ordered from someone that is not an ATT customer? im visiting some friends in the states next month and was wondering if i can either get one at a local store or order it to my friend's place(hes not an att customer)?
can someone post the link? i cant find it on att website

Hi, how good are the refurbished ones? Or its better to go for new one?

I just got my refurb in 2 hours ago, and it looks brand new!
Thanks OP!!

You do not have to be an AT&T customer to purchase one of these. I am not an AT&T customer.
To find the dock just go to where you would buy the atrix 4g http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...OROLA+ATRIX+(TM)+4G*+-+Black&q_sku=sku5100311
then go to compatible accessories and find the laptopdock
dont think you can pick it up in the store, ship it to your friends house

damn, I ordered the 75.00 2 days ago. I'll RMA this one and get me the $50.00 one.

I agree on both counts. I kinda feel bad for the guys in the development forum. Maybe someone should warn them!

Exactly what comes in the box. Does it include a charger and battery?

Skyrocket Replacement LCD

Can anyone recommend a REPUTABLE site for finding an LCD replacement for this phone? I have seen many questionable sites with them, but I have 1 shot at getting this done and want to encounter as little risk as possible. Thanks everyone.

This place is pretty reputable, they've been around forever https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=7437 The price is a bit steep, but certainly better than what Ebay has to offer for the same product.

That was one of them I was looking at, but they have an F on their BBB report and never replied or attempted to resolve any of the complaints. Kinda worries me.

nexus 5 extended battery 3830mah battery, how many would be interested?

Hi All! I came across a supplier that has nexus 5 extended batteries 3830 MAH that are plug and play.
These will replace your original battery and wont add any bulk to your phone.
They will be $35 shipped in the U.S.
Please make a list of everyone that is interested.

Well, other than not knowing the actual quality/longevity of the battery, or if it really gives 3830mAh, $35 is steep. Considering you can get it for $15.99 + shipping from aliexpress, you can pick up 2 for that price.

That is gonna be a pile of crap another dodgy chinese battery just like those gold ones that you can get for htc sensation.
Dont touch it!

Guys, LG is one of the few companies which actually makes their own batteries (through the LG Chem subsidiary). This means they can put very good batteries in their phones with little additional cost. Do you really think some cheap chinese batteries probably made somewhere on a ship can have a better capacity/volume ratio than the ones provided by LG?

my guess is the OP is someone who is selling/supplying the batteries and the first post they ever put is this waste of time, go and advertise somewhere else.

Adding that much juice, in a battery that's the same size? Pretty sure that's impossible. Nice try, though.

i guess ill have to try it out and post results.

Yes, because that will totally seem trustworthy and convince everyone to buy your magic batteries. Oops, sorry, I meant the magic batteries you just "came across".

[Q] NFC battery replacements i9250 - very difficult to find!

I've bought 5 batteries now, all claimed to have NFC but they don't have it.
Where can I buy a replacement NFC battery? Do I have to make one? If so, how?
The batteries I have bought you need to avoid include:
- http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Capac...UTF8&qid=1403692932&sr=1-5&keywords=I9250+nfc
- various from dinodirect sold as NFC but they actually don't have them
- a pisen from ebay. I think this brand doesn't make them
What is the address to buy one direct from Samsung?

do you have the gsm.or.cdma tuna variant?
maguro, toro, toroplus?

any recommendations regarding good replacement battery?

Is there a way to find out of the battery supports NFC without using a nfc-tag? I bought one from mugen and could check it out for you.

That would be great, thanks
You could try the NFC Info. app for this.
Things to try:
- passports with the chip sign on the front
- newer credit cards
- keycards for getting in apartments
- anti theft rfid tags in stores. Common in the perfume section including toilet smellies
- many book stores put the tags inside the cover of books or in a random page
I contacted Samsung UK directly for a replacement. They were unable to point me to somewhere that has the batteries. When I really pressed hard (because I need this battery or I have to buy another phone) they ignored me. I think they are no longer making the batteries but enforcing the patent on the battery NFC design to prevent others from making them. The only people claiming to make them now as a result are fakers. This is anticompetitive of course and it means that if you buy a Samsung phone you can expect it to start to become broken in terms of NFC after a year or 2 as the battery fades. I think the practice has extended to newer phones. If true (that they're using this as a way to break our phones to get us to buy new ones) then I won't be buying a Samsung again.

I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...981067&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Works very well, still works as it did the first day it came (about 4 months ago)

Thanks! Went to buy but they won't send to the UK or Spain unfortunately. A friend in Hong Kong has bought me one that hopefully is real. If not then I might get in touch to see if you want to sell me yours on at a profit

Just see if you can get a freight forwarder from the US to the UK. Or as we call them in my country a Skybox account.

This is the one I bought in 2012 and has worked perfectly since. It's a genuine Samsung extended battery with NFC.

I'm also looking for a battery replacement. The one that venni posted comes with a whopping 34$ shipping fees so that's not acceptable. Any other suggestions? Ebay is filled with these 2$ "superpower" batteries but I'm sure they are crap.

Pretty expensive they are. I'm not willing to put much money on this old hammer anymore. I just hope to get some cheap power for this until Nexus 6 comes.

Delivery charges are same as the battery itself.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The shipping is expensive possibly because batteries are no longer allowed in air freight. Some companies accept them, but charge a lot more... or so I heard.
This is very much something to think about when you buy a new phone - buy a new battery while you can get one!

I bought 3 batteries. No one had NFC.
I'm thinking about buying this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/NFC-Antenna-..._Phone_Accessories&hash=item4ac9d6f8e8&_uhb=1
and connect with wires to the two nfc pins.
Do you think it would work?

Has anyone managed to find a reasonably priced battery yet?

Nope...
I've ordered that NFC battery linked in the earlier page of this... it's so cheap I'll give it a go.
A girlfriend has sent one from China bought from a shop... probably real...
but had to send my boat because of air freight restrictions. It's been 2 months waiting so far...
will update later
