Battery workaround

Hey
I really want this phone but the fact it has no removable battery is a massive minus.
Has anyone discovered a work around for this? I mean like a small emergency charger that will boost the phone for 1-2 hours?
When i go to football i always tweet/FB heavily. And i find by 4-5 pm (5 hours unplugged) i need to think about putting my spare battery in. It isnt the best spare battery but will give the phone an extra 1-2 hours which is enough time for me.
Thanks

Why not a quick google search for mobile power storage? or mobile power?

That's what I did.

Are the Duracell ones any good for phones this high spec?
Are the others small enough to carry in your pocket?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Brand/price of the charger doesn't matter. I use 10 euro worth small charger that has connector built in, it doesnt use cable. I just plug it into my phone and it will charge it. I always have it in my bag, fully charged. Use it rarely, but knowing I have it there helps. It's also light enough.
a bigger version of this:

I have one of those 5000mah packs from asolar (theres alot of them on amazon) and it works great! Although it's way too large to fit into your pocket, i usually bring it when I'm traveling. It can fully charge a phone like the one X - Twice!
About the size:
Its about the same size as an SGS, but twice as thick.

Are the duracells any good? Would the one x get a fee hours of charge?

True, but the specs do. How fast the battery pack outputs power makes a big difference in how long it takes to charge the phone. Also some of the higher-end solutions can hold up to four full charges. Here's a chart...

Yes but I wanted cheap solution that works. So it charges pretty quickly as it gets really worm while charging my phone. It's not going to make my phone last a day, the purpose is to give me a boost when needed, nothing more, and for that its perfectly spent tenner.
I do have another charger that holds way more power and is able to charge my laptop, comes with multiple plugs as well as USB port, but I wouldn't carry that with me everyday like I can with the small cheap one.

I got a 7000mah one from Amazon for 20 quid, it's a cheaper less rip off copy of the 'new trent' chargers can't remember the brand though. Works a treat, charges with 1amp just as quick as a mains charger!

looks nice, what other cables does it come with ?

Longer usb cable that connects to your phone, it also has a USB port at the top of the battery Anker so you can use different usb to charge different phones

Looks nice is it heavy;
You can carry it with you when
You need a extra charge right;

ROM: Wildchild v 1. 1

half the weight of the wildfire S. Since its very slim you can carry it in your pocket or if you are a girl, then inside your purse. Well worth my $20 IMO

I gotta get one of those... my phone barely lasts a day.. D:

so am I right in thinking you use this to charge your phone up when it's out of juice....and if so, how many times can it charge up the wfs? I'm thinking it could be useful for weekends away or camping trips etc?

Yes camping it would be great! The power bank is 3200 mah so it can charge the wildfire s 2 times from dead, they make a 8000 mah as well

a case with a built in battery, like these. AFAIK, no one makes them for anything except iphones.

those are cool but that wouldn't happen on our phone or most android phones. Its easy and cheap to make cases for iphone because the design stays the same for the most part, designers have more time to create the case and for android phones the design is always changing and people are always getting new phones so a case like that would be great but there isn't enough money to be made by the maker, the wildfire s is popular but not that popular, I could see this battery case being made for the HTC one X

External batteries/Portable chargers

I'm looking to buy one for when i'm traveling to charge my phone/tablet and looking for suggestions on brands/models/etc. Probably don't really want to spend much more than ~$50 on one. Only requirements are that it isn't too big and bulky to not fit well in a laptop travel case. And the more mAh the better obviously. Thanks.

There are a lot of brands out there. Morphie seems to be one of people's top picks - probably because it looks super nice and marketed well. I personally have never own one and think it's a bit on the pricey side. I have a Ravpower one with 10,400 mah which was mentioned in this thread if you wanna take a look. Works great. Not heavy at all which was surprising. And can charge my nexus 7 about 2 times before i need to charge again. Think Ravpower have smaller ones too, but 10,400 might be their largest capacity charger.
These portable power chargers seems to be everywhere now. You can probably find some in stores too. Think I saw a low mAh one at Lowes the other day by either Duracell or Energizer, but these might not be best for heavy charging.

I just ordered 2 antec powerup 3000's apparently they have Panasonic batteries. I will report back! :beer:

Anker 2700mah batteries

Awesome batteries and long life and quality...
If you're looking for an OEM type battery with long life and quality... These are the ones.
They come with a 60% charge, I fully charged them and off first charge I got around a 7 hour cycle.. And after a few charging cycles.. With supplied charger I'm getting well over 10 hours worth moderate use.
I no longer charge through USB because of the heat generated. the supplied charger has both USB ports so you can either charge from the wall or USB. It charges to or from USB depending on which end of the USB cord you use.(I.e you can hook the wall charger to your computer/laptop USB port and charge spare battery or plug into wall and charge your phone and spare at the same time)

I needed to replace mine too and bought the 2700 Anker.
I love it.

Best batteries ever

I'm on my second Anker 2700mAh in 3 years and can highly recommend them - quality product (as seen in the packaging alone). I got mine through Amazon in the UK, but supplied direct from Anker at £16.99:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker®-2700mAh-Battery-Samsung-GT-N7000/dp/B006BIF7AI
128 5 star reviews speaks for itself. :good:

I have an Anker 2700 for my Note. I also have year 2012 and a 2013 original Samsung batteries, and one that came with a 3rd party dock claiming to be 3000mAH and branded Mbuynow. For a couple of months I saved the BetterBatteryStats logs each time I changed the battery (I charged in a battery charger, not in the phone). If I hadn't named each log it would be impossible to identify which is which. The cheap/freebie Mbuynow battery performs as well in use but doesn't hold a charge as well as the others when stored, so I don't expect it has a decent life expectancy.
There is no advantage in using the Anker 2700 over the stock Samsung 2500, and a genuine Samsung item can be found for £12. The one advantage the Anker has is that you probably won't accidentally buy a fake Anker but you can easily get a fake Samsung if you're one of those people who kids themselves that the ebay/marketplace seller is offering the real deal at £5 or £8.

[Review] Vinsic Tulip 3200mAh Power Bank

I always needed a power bank for my Nexus 5 because it dies really fast when I have LTE, GPS on using navigation or taking pictures on any tours. I came across to this one in Amazon, Vinsic Tulip 3200mAh Power Bank. I am very happy to say that I am more than satisfied with the quality and effectiveness of the product. It got delivered in 3 days and also available in Amazon Prime.

Features:
Powerful 3200mAh external mobile battery charger
Ultra slim alluminum alloy body
Designed with a 5V 1A output USB port
Built-in 4 LED indicators to show the charging status and battery level
Compact size which saves space and convenient to carry anywhere
for iPhone, iPad, iPod, LG, Sony, Samsung devices, HTC phones, digital cameras, game consoles, MP3/MP4 players and more.
It supports over-charged, over-discharged, over-voltage, over-current and short circuit protection, safe and reliable
First Impression:
After I opened the box of the product I found out that the power bank is charged up to 3 battery level light indicators. I charged it to 100% and to test I connected my Nexus 5 with it. It took little over than 75 minutes to charge my phone. Then I connected the power bank to my charger to recharge it for future usage. It took just more than 2 hours to charge it to 100% as I could see the battery level light indicator which helps you greatly to keep a track of the power level. I definitely think this product does its job perfectly and on time and it is a very useful product for someone like me. Now I don't have to panic about my phone dying when I am on any trip.

Siggey let me know about your review as I might be interested in one, I was just looking at the 20,000 Mah one as well.

how long it takes to charge Samsung S6?

I like this unit since its just big enough for a full charge or just a quick top off but easy to carry around

This charger is nice so far I got the 6000mah one its nice small and charges the s6 edge fairly quickly.
