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 ;-)

Anyone have this OEM samsung battery charger?

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?

I have the Verizon one. It charges but the door does NOT close completely with extended battery.

Instead of having to buy a new battery charger for every new phone, I just went and bought this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerGen-Mu...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1328708231&sr=1-14
It's a universal battery charger that can be used both from a normal socket and in a car.
If you're from the US you might want to go here instead:

anyone have experience with a certain charger? Obviously I don't want something that will damage my battery but nothing that will break the bank either.

Yeah, sorry I probably should have been more specific but I dont know the exact name for them. haha
It's like the dock "travel" charger for just the battery, not the battery connected to the phone.
I havent been able to find something decent (crappy charging, made in china).

Ok a little update for those interested.
I ended up buying some cheap (REALLY cheap) charger off ebay not expecting too much but just experimenting.
The charger itself looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 2 metal prongs connect to + and -; the charger is able to read which is the + and which is the - no matter how you set the battery in there. The bottom part that pushes the battery toward the prong is extendable or you can flip it 180 if you have a really small battery.
-Flashing red and blue light means charging
-Dull red light while plugged in means fully charged
-Dull red light while not plugged in but with battery set up means the pins are set up correctly on the terminals
NOTE: do not take batter off/put battery on while the charger is plugged in. It can ruin the battery.
The exact one i bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270908124203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
(no problems with the seller, they actually sent me a few free ones due to a misunderstanding)
Now for the review and my experience.
Pros:
-Fits any battery, interchangeability of pins (differentiating + and -) means you can fit any battery really
-Has a side USB port so you can charge a battery and plug in your USB cord to the phone and charge it at the same time
-Voltage input is 110-220V so (with an adapter) you can theoretically (will test this summer) plug this charge straight into an european plug or north american plug.
-No problems so far with over charging; Charger stops charging the battery when it is full
-Has a light to tell you when the battery is done charging and when you have the pins connected correctly to the battery
-Compact; Small and plug folds up into unit.
-Charges a fully dead battery quickly.
Cons:
-No instructions when I first received this product (i know what you're thinking, how hard could it be to just charge a battery but I was reluctant to rely on the self detecting terminal feature)
-While charging, the light on the unit (the one i posted/bough) flashes red and blue like cop lights and is very bright so it might be a problem if you are plugging it in overnight in a bedroom. Also this is a normal function of the charger but i thought it was malfunctioning so they sent a new unit but then figured out its normal.
-Looks cheap
-Dont know how long it will last for (really cheap so buying another one isnt a problem)
-Noticed that after i pull a battery off the charger and use it the phone states it is at 99% (undercharged) although if i try to bump charge a fully charged battery it wont charge more. This could be a problem with my battery/phone/etc.
-Nothing else really
So final verdict on this product:
Its a great, affordable charger; works great if you are traveling and need to charge an extra battery. Will fit the Incredible 2 extended batteries and technically virtually any battery. Its pretty easy to use once you know what the color lights mean and how to set a battery up.
If anyone has any questions or want more pictures of this product just reply in this thread. Hope this helped out anyone looking for a product like this.

i just wanted to jump on here and say rthank you for posting this. i just oredered one for myself. i droid incredible 2 usb port took a dump on me and now have no way to charge it now without taking it apart and replacing it. thanks again for this info. it will hold me over till i am ready to fix the usb port or get my upgrade. i will just the ftp app from the play store to transfer my files till then.

I personally use the Motorola quick charger one with the blue light. It charges fast and I have been using them for years without a problem.

I use this one. It puts out enough juice to use the phone at full power (gps) and still charge it. A lot of chargers have trouble doing that.

I use samsung's charger with 2 USB plugs. It's from Energizer and it's specs say it's able to put out 1A of current like a standard wall fast charger.
Regular usb's generaly only pump out 0.5A, half of that by default, so i did have to set it to charge at that current for usb's on STweaks though but it does charge at the same speed as a regular wall charger. Better yet, is able to charge the phone even during heavy use like gps/3G or playing a movie (at 0.5A it would still slowly discharge, wasn't enough). I wouldn't recommend have it charging 2 devices at the same time if one's drawing 1A from it already though. Not sure what would happen, just doesn't sound a good idea.
It's this one. It's generic but specific for samsungs so it did bring several plugs to different samsung models:

yup. Wife, Friend and I all bought them to use with S3, work with any Micro USB charging phone

I use the motorolla charger as well, put one in both cars and it will charge my phone pretty much no matter what im doing with the phone. best $6 I ever spent

I've been using the thinkgeek over9000 ( thinkgeek.com/product/eea9/ ) for a few months now in a custom car dock setup and I love it.
The small form factor, lighted switch, and ability to trick my SGS3 to fast charge (works) are great.
The only downside is that the little metal nub on the end is too short for my extra deep socket so the connection was intermittent before I swapped out the nub with a longer one from a $2 charger that I had lying around. If you have to do this, it was very simple and I'm sure that any dollar store would have a suitable sacrifice.
Side note, don't use a lighted USB cable to charge your SGS3. It looks nice, but can't handle the full current needed while still using the phone.

I also have this charger and I loved it. It was really fast with charging and worked great until the last few months where I have to place my phone just right in the car to get it to charge. For some reason it won't stay in the phone correctly to be able to charge it. Now I'm on the search for another charger that will last longer than the months I had this one and also charge just as fast.

I don't remember the name of the brand that does but I know a car charger that, when charged at home, charges one's phone twice as fast in the car.

Definitely a screen burn, image burn-in during charging...
(You can clearly see the charging ring burned into the screen)
That's not a good sign... but this is the first time I've seen or heard anything about this, so most likely just a defective unit.
Definitely get a replacement before it is too late.

Someone else posted something like this a while ago he got his from Google I / O. Apparently his developed screen burn-in pretty quickly as well. I'm hoping these are just defective units and not a sign of things to come for all of us.

That looks horrible.

I decided to stick it on the charger all night and its worse (ha!) I'm glad i went through best buy. I'm going in and politely demanding a prompt replacement. its odd, the display seems to have more jagged edges on the screen icons as well as a change in brightness since this problem started.

that sucks man, considering the shortage, I hope you get a quick replacement

Turning the screen off helps charge the battery faster too, don't know why Moto decided to leave it dim...

I called Motorola, they knocked 10% off and free shipping. Best buy couldn't order through their stock system on account of scarcity. I should receive a new one within 4 weeks. I hope it's still the grey band and not the stone leather one. I added more photos of how bad the burn in was.

Yeah, that's crazy. Definitely defective!
I actually liked having the display on all night on my nightstand and using it as a clock. Never had any Ill effects, though

Seems like a defective unit or there would be a ton of people reporting this. Sorry for your loss and I hope you get a replacement soon!

i thought it looked nice as well although it bathed my room in blue light that made it hard to close my eyes.

Nope people only post when they have issues. What would be the point of everyone with no issues creating a thread to say "my watch works fine"?

i honestly don't think he had a bad unit. i think that these screens are subject to burn in just like early plasma hd screens. he already stated that he left the watch on the charger for two days with a static image. that is a recipe for burn in on screens that are susceptible to burn in. after reading this thread i turn my screen off when the phone is on the charger.

well i don't know what to say then. what would make your screen more susceptible to burn in than another. very weird.

Maybe some glitch made his screen stay on max brightness while on the charger instead of going dim?

That was exactly my thought after seeing this pic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I usually do the turn off your screen trick while on the charger to avoid all these.
