I-Blason mini review

Ok I went back and forth with what charger case I was going too go with. The to two was this one and the mophie. I went with this one due to the price and they both had the same battery size. Every other mophie I had has went bad in a short time except the very first one I had for my iPhone 3 , that thing lasted for ever.
Ok what I like about this is the feel of it, it has like a soft velvet feel too it. What I don't like is the slow charge warning that comes up when I turn it on. Can some one tell me if the mophie does the same thing, I am on the fence on sending it back and staying with my battery bank that chargers at 2a all day long and charges it fast. The fit and finish I would give a 7.75. Where the two pieces meet there is a very small gap and the mini usb don't line up perfect when you slide the case in. I will test it from completely dead and give every one an update. It will bee soon. If it dose not give me the %80 they say then I will send it back and try another one, or just go with my battery bank. BTW I have the spigen gtr glass one my one and it fits fine.

I have the blason and it works fine. I have dropped the phone onto a tile floor twice and not a scratch so it protects the phone as well.

Dose is gone you the slow charge message

HTC one mophie case problems

This will be my third case I will be returning to best buy. Two of mine (black) one of my wife's (silver). All of them having the same problem.
Randomly stops charging.
Won't charge.
Won't show indicator battery leds.
until I plug and then unplug the case then it's back to normal.
I emailed mophie on the issue since I couldn't find any similar issues on Google and asked them what I can do to prevent it or what I am possibly doing wrong.
They just send me an automated response telling me to file for a warranty claim.
So here I am asking if anybody else has the same issue I do and if they found a work around or any information. Right now it's just a really expensive phone case and the fact that I have to plug it in to activate it defeats the purpose of an external battery case.
Thanks for your help.

There are two other threads in this forum about the mophie case already, both of which describe this issue (I returned mine for good because of it). There doesn't seem to be a real fix for it: there are just apparently a whole lot of bad units.

I have gone through 3 cases all with the same issue. I am headed back for case number 4 later today.

My first one had this issue. Got it replaced and the one I have now works perfectly.

Yeah it's REALLY annoying. I've gone through 3 cases myself and the problem never resolved itself. The only way I can use this case is if I never put on the top, which is stupid but I deal with it because I don't want to carry an external battery. Has anyone pulled off the top plastic power button and have it still work?

That's how I fixed the first one I had before I decided to exchange it. It works fine but it becomes annoying to push the power button on and off with it recessed like that.

I Ordered One From There Site Around $60 When it Come To My Door They Wanted And Extra £37.00 For Handling So I Rejected It, The Bloke Told Me At Morphie I Will Get A Refund For It Once The Item Has Been Received Back, 4 Month Later I Submitted A Support Ticket Asking If Had Been Received Yet, Then They Replied With The Exuse That They Do Not Receive Items Back They just Get Abandoned, So Now I'm Roughly £50.00 Down And No Case

same issues here
I am about to return my second Mophie juice pack for the HTC One. I am having exactly the same issues; the juice pack randomly "forgets" it's charged and ceases to function, unless I plug it into a power source, at which point it "wakes up" again, but then it will stop working AGAIN before it has even used all its charge. What's ironic is that I have been a huge fan of Mophie products for the iPhone, having bought several of them for my wife's phone, and they've never had issues like this.
Mophie really needs to come clean and issue a press release explaining that the juice pack for HTC One is faulty, and they should issue return labels to EVERYONE who has bought one, as a gesture of good faith. Many other companies out there are catching up to Mophie with battery cases of their own, that are of inherently better build quality. Sorry Mophie but you stepped in it this time.

As you can see from my previous posts my Mophie case was working fine for me............until I updated to 4.3. I am now having the same issue stated by many of you. It randomly forgets it's charged until I connect it back to power and then sometimes it just completely loses all charge and needs to be recharged. Seems it isn't a hardware issue but some sort of glitch brought upon by specific OS versions.

I realize this won't help much immediately anyway.
But the Verizon HTC One just got its' 4.3 update.
It does not include Sense 5.5, it's only Sense 5.0, but to get to my point:
One of the fixes in that OTA's changleog, was a fix for the Mophie Juice Pack.
So it would appear that HTC is aware of the issue and I would assume any OTA's that come from here on will include whatever fixes they are now implementing to reduce these issues.
Just thought I'd pass along that info for whatever it's worth.

That's the update that broke my Mophie.

Oh I assumed you were on a different carrier based on your signature...my bad.
As not all updates of the same Android version are the same across variants.

This is a conforting thread to see here, being that I have just ordered mine and it is coming in monday.
If MHL dosent work with the thing on, i will probably return it. I think i saw someone confirm that it wont work on Android Central Forums- I hope they are wrong.
EDIT: confirmed... The mophie case does not work with MHL.. I guess they were to cheep to add the 4 extra pins to the damn case.. I'm sure the iPhone version has all 32 pins on it

I'm using a T-Mobile HTC One that already has Android 4.3. But that's beside the point; the issue is with the Juice pack, not the phone or its software version. The juice pack "forgets" its charge when not even in use (power button turned off), therefore it has no interplay with the phone's software, so the problem is not related to phone software version.
Oh and FYI I'm now on my FOURTH HTC One Juice pack from Mophie, and it too is faulty. I did an online chat with Mophie tech support and all they did was issue yet ANOTHER return label, and did not acknowledge any awareness of this issue occurring with other HTC One Juice pack owners. So we have the corporate mentality at work, which is to say "never admit that your product is faulty."

I've had 3 bad ones that I picked up from AT&T. I stopped at Verizon and all of theirs worked perfect. The AT&T ones had extremely short connectors, the ones at Verizon had connectors the same length as the connector on the USB cable. The difference was clearly obvious.

Possible HTC One mophie solution
Hello all,
I have read all three threads on the mophie issue for the HTC One, as I was having the same issue with my new mophie; not charging or intermittently charge, top was hard to push on, and mine even seemed to have the micro usb connector misaligned. Seems as though something was not connected correctly internally on the mophie. I decided to take apart my mophie case and found that the male micro usb connector that connected to the phone had a broken plastic support bracket which cause my intermittent issue. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and do not care about the mophie warranty, here are the steps that I took to fix my mophie:
Tools needed: Flat tip and Philips jewelers screw drivers, double sided tape, super glue (or gorilla glue), double sides tape, and some non metallic spacer (I used tape folded over a couple times)
1) Slide the flat tip in between the 2 lays of plastic and pry them apart carefully, I started by the mophie's camera hole for the HTC one and worked my way towards the other end.
NOTE: You might here some popping and cracking, this is due to the ultrasonic bonding process used.
NOTE: When prying toward the micro usb with the flat tip be aware that the battery starts just below the camera opening.
2) Once both pieces feel separated pull firmly on the plastic that has the mophie serial number, try pulling different direction, understand that some resistance will be there due to the double sides tap between the plastic and the battery.
3) Once battery is fully exposed pull battery out slightly to release double sided tap on the back side of the battery, while simultaneously pulling micro usb toward the top or camera opening of the mophie case.
4) Locate micro usb plastic support bracket, removed 2 Phillips screws to access bracket.
NOTE: At this point is when I had to repair the plastic bracket in mind with some gorilla glue. Be mindful that unless u want more work u still have to work with the usb connected to the circuit board.
5) Reinstall phillip screws and place spacer between plastic bracket and micro usb.
6) Following steps 1-4 in reverse.
My mophie works like a champ now! And the tope even fits without having to force it! Hope this help someone else out. Please see atched pics for clarification purposes.

My first mophie works perfeclty and has no flaws. Wish I had that luck with my phone LOL.

SOLUTION
Hey guys! So, I disected my case to see if I could manually fix the problem and I figured out what the problem was. The little micro USB inside the case is getting pushed inside and so when you try to plug in your phone it never fully plugs in.
So, the easiest solution would be to take a pair of pliers and very CAREFULLY shimmying the USB plug out. Then, it should work like a charm.
Also, to prevent this from happening from the future, when you insert your HTC One into the case push down the bottom part of your phone to insure that it slides onto the plug without pushing it down again.
And just another problem I experienced with this case was the built in power button. I found it was pressing in my pocket and also when I put the top part of the case down the power button would stay pressed. I simply sanded the bottom part of the built in button down and that fixed it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

[REVIEW] KiDiGi Wireless Charging Dock for Google New Nexus 7 (2013)

PROS:
I picked one of these up on eBay (UK) for about £30, delivered from Hong Kong.
Received it in 7 days.
The build quality is good.
It's powerful enough to keep the tablet charged whilst the daydream is running.

}
CONS:
The light on the front is actually very bright, but I suppose a small label can block this out. Not an ideal design idea, though, especially as it blinks whilst charging and can make your dark bedroom flash.
The charger that comes with it is high powered enough for the job, although my wife complains that she can hear it buzz (or the dock buzzes, I'm not sure which), I hear it also and it is rather annoying.
The main issue is, though, when you place the tablet in the dock, there is a beep to tell you it is connected and charging, and let me tell you, the charging beep is absolutely deafening and can easily wake my baby when I put it in the dock before I get in bed.
The notification beep is a completely useless feature that only serves to wind the customer up. The tablet will tell you it's charging anyway, and also the flashing LED on the front (that should have been static and much dimmer).
Initially, when I first used it, the dock reached full charge and just kept silently topping up without the notification beep, so it was bearable. But (and this is a BIG 'but') the last couple of nights it started beeping every 30 seconds as the daydream took the battery down to 99% and the dock reconnected to top it back up. It is very annoying when this starts happening as it can happen twice, sometimes even 3 times a minute until you take the tablet off the dock. It's so ill-thought-out it's almost laughable (or it's a fault, I'm not entirely sure?).
Curiously, the first time it did this, I rebooted the tablet and it stopped the dock beeping whilst it was maintaining 100%, it just kept the tablet charging silently, but last night after about an hour on charge (in the middle of the night) it started doing it again. I had to get up and take the tablet off the dock - it's the only solution I'm afraid. The really infuriating thing is, this beep is so ludicrously loud, I couldn't even put the dock in my spare bedroom and use it as a charger, as it is loud enough to wake my other children in the rooms next door!
Therefore, in conclusion and unfortunately, I have to warn you NOT to buy one of these if you don't like the idea of cracking it open and attempting to disable the speaker. I might write to the manufacturer if I get time, and see what their thoughts are. I'll let you know if this happens and what the response is.
CONCLUSION:
A VERY stupid couple of design ideas ruin what is an otherwise well made feeling dock!
UPDATE:
I wrote to KiDiGi and they replied immediately and explained that I could "cut the wire to disconnect the beeper". I think maybe something was lost in translation as I popped it open and found this:
Well it's hardly easy to disable the speaker as the speaker is actually soldered to the main board (and I don't have a soldering iron to remove it). So I decided to disable it with brute force. Not ideal, granted, but the dock is useless with the speaker activated, so I guess I've little to lose. Clearly the suggestion of cutting the wire will disable the LED not the speaker, but I don't want to disable the LED, it's useful, just too darn bright and annoying, it's the beep that is the main issue:
So I decided to take a folk prong and placed it in the hole of the plastic speaker cover and prise it upwards, with the hope the speaker would come away from the board. It didn't, it just broke the black plastic casing around the speaker. Once this had happened, I used the folk prong to remove the little metal speaker baffle inside. To do this I inserted the folk prong into the side of the speaker baffle and prised the metal disc out. It's a 30 second job, but far from an elegant solution.
Whilst I was there, I decided to address the LED. I placed a folded piece of paper between the LED and the cover. This time this was a simple and elegant solution as I didn't want to cut the wire completely. A little LED is useful when it isn't turning your room into a disco:
The net result is; that the dock now doesn't beep when the tablet is inserted and the LED is very dim, so doesn't flash so brightly, and is only really visible in a dark room at night:
It wasn't a tasking job, anyone could do it, but it's frustrating that you need to do it.
The manufacturer has agreed to send me a new dock without the beeper, but I won't hold my breath.
I did actually hear the charger noise my wife was complaining about last night, too. It is rather irritating, but I'll try another charger and see if that solves it. If the manufacturer sticks to their word and sends me another dock, hopefully this will be resolved, too, as it seems to be a faulty batch of chargers that are causing it?
UPDATE:
Just a quick update, I received my replacement from the manufacturer and can confirm they've removed the annoying beeper. They've also dimmed the LED and the buzz from the charger is gone. Fair's fair, they listened to the customer and have now created a cracking product and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
To the guy asking about if the case would work. I still don't have a case for mine, so it's hard to say, but if you look at the bottom where the tablet slots in, it seems big enough to take a case too as it is a graduating slot, if you know what I mean. What I was unsure about was if the charging would work through the case, so I tried to emulate this by jamming a notepad behind the tablet. There is approximately 20 sheets of paper and a huge gap between the tablet and the back pad of the dock, and it still charged, so I guess technically it should work, but couldn't 100% confirm it. Hope this helps and sorry for the really slow reply.
Excuse the dust, it's my office monitor base, my wife would be notified if she knew I'd posted this picture!?

Was looking into this as well, as i use my SGS3 w/ charger/dock as my bedside alarm clock and want to replace it with my Nexus 7. The one thing i've read that isn't good is it has a "charging" light when on stand and a beeping noise upon fully charge (that also goes off after fully charge drops and charges again). Can you confirm this? Thanks.

Does it work with a poetic slimline case attached?

I've got good news and bad news. There is nothing that can be done about that annoying beep. I can tell you how to fix the other issue tho. KiDiGi determined that some of the USB wall adapters they sent were bad. They sent me a replacement. I have not gotten it yet, but I did use another 2.1Amp USB wall wart and all is fine now. That should fix the buzzing and the constant beeping.

The company contacted me yesterday to tell me they're despatching one without the beep. I'll test it and report back, although my trick in the OP does work, although has voided the warranty of course. I'll report back ASAP. If it works, I suggest you contact the manufacturer direct and ask if you can buy one, because the beep is the only thing that really causes a headache. Otherwise it's a good device.

I think with a qi from eBay and some piece of wood and tape , you can build your own support in 45 minutes.
I did a support last year in foam(white staff found in TV box).
U just need to cut it and tape.
U can even paint it.
Why not make a post "best hand made wireless support"?

OP, thanks for the great review. It sparked my interest in the charging station. I emailed the company asking about the 'beep-free' unit. Their response:
We have the unit temporary removed the listing.
Please keep an eye at 4u-mobi(dot)com it should be relisted back up again.
So, perhaps they are changing over their entire inventory?

Stay away from the Mophie Juice Pack for the HTC One

The first one I had started glitching after the first day of using it. It wouldn't turn on and the battery check button stopped working. I sent it to Mophie and they replaced it and even swapped for the color I wanted which was silver. The silver one worked a little bit longer but after a couple of days, same thing. Also the silver one started turning yellow and getting dingey really fast. I sent that one back as well and had them again swap the color back to black. I cannot complain about their support department at all. Very fast and friendly. Well, I'm on my third one and it STILL has the same problem. It wont work until you plug it in for minute and it will randomly stop working again. When it did work, it was great. It would charge from 1% to 100% EASILY. I just wish they'd get this product in line.

I agree with this post. My HTC One mophie has same problem. Seems a waste of time sending in. Replacements have same problem. Great concept, poor implementation.

I have a black one that I purchased from Best Buy, and so far, so good for me. I don't use it every day, just when I know I'm gonna be using it a lot or away from an outlet for a long time, but whenever I flick the switch it starts charging.

Wow. was really thinking of getting one of those.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I was just thinking about ordering one. It's a shame they are having trouble out of them. They are usually a great battery case. Well at least they were for the iPhone.
Has anyone test or heard of any other brand?

The first one I had started glitching after the first day of using it. It wouldn't turn on and the battery check button stopped working. I sent it to Mophie and they replaced it and even swapped for the color I wanted which was silver. The silver one worked a little bit longer but after a couple of days, same thing. Also the silver one started turning yellow and getting dingey really fast. I sent that one back as well and had them again swap the color back to black. I cannot complain about their support department at all. Very fast and friendly. Well, I'm on my third one and it STILL has the same problem. It wont work until you plug it in for minute and it will randomly stop working again. When it did work, it was great. It would charge from 1% to 100% EASILY. I just wish they'd get this product in line.

I can totally relate to you. Everything has also happened to me as well. What a waste of money this was. I felt like breaking them but i can't sense i spent so much on them lol.

2 months for me as well...anyone know of a reputable alternative?

My Morphie is very strange. As best as I can tell, it only charges both the internal phone and case battery when the phone is turned off. I get some luck when I run down the internal phone battery to near depletion (with little switch pushed outward and showing red) and then switching until the green shows on the switch. This starts to recharge the phone battery. I get about 18-20 hours overall use excluding when the phone is turned off and charging. Far less than ideal.

Anyone tried the I-blason variety? It's about $60 on Amazon and seems like a nice alternative. I tried a cheap (Power Bank) alternative on ebay.. Terrible idea. It's on its way back now.

I have a silver one I ordered from Mophie's site that I haven't had issues with.

I bought a Mophie that was on discount (customer returned) about 4 months ago and its been working just fine. You just been digging out a bad batch.

I finally got mine working by using the USB cable that came with morphie. The only problem now is that it does not charge all the way to 100%, dies at 70%

I picked up a couple of these guys and keep one in the car and one in my backpack...
Small enough to throw in a jacket pocket if necessary too...
I hate cases - gotta show off the beauty of the One.

Mine stopped working 3 days in for some strange reason the lights would show but no charging the device. Tried on my other htc one same issue there.

I just bought one from Amazon, coembe brand. 30 bucks. It didn't last one charge. I was so pissed Also it said 3800mah, that's not even close to being true. I don't know what the deal is with these products. Good concept horrible execution.

*fingers crossed* so far no problem with mine. I don't use it daily, only when I travel or if I'm gonna be out all weekend or something.

I know your question is old , but just incase someone thinkin to get I-blason , it act same as what i've read about Mophie.
I came here to look for alt , but looks there nothing good atm in the market

(Pic) Nexus 5 official charger in my car. Perfect!!

Here's a pic of the Nexus 5 charger installed in my car (06 Civic). The phone sticks to it like glue. Doesn't fall on any bumps while driving. I get a net increase charge of about 1% every three minutes with navigation on, Spotify, texting constantly, and screen on whole time. So happy!!
Btw, the charger is double sided taped to my old palm Pre charger so that's how it's attached. So it sticks out about 1-1/2" from the dash board leaving me room for all controls on the radio and hazard light switch. Also, the right angle adapter keeps it clean looking, otherwise the input cable would be sticking upward like an inch, even more.

Nice job looks good!

Looks great though I'd be a bit worried of the phone coming off after hitting a bump or something.

I swear to you that after 3 days of driving including 2 days back and forth to work and hitting many potholes even when I mount the phone horizontally has not even caused the phone to move in the slightest bit!!
It's unreal.

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. I posted numerous times here that the phone does not budge whatsoever. If I had to choose I would not choose that monstrosity charger and holder that you have. The only reason I'm being a little bit harsh is because I don't know why I have to repeat myself that the Nexus 5 does not budge at all even over the most extreme bumps.
The cool thing about yours is I'm sure you can use it for any phone you choose in the future that has wireless charging capabilities...

Yup, I run my N5 official charger in my car as well. Does not move! I autocross my car with my phone mounted just for giggles, moving turn after turn at 40-50 miles per hour with 90 degree turns, the phone stays stuck like glue!

Do you guys both use phone without any case?

I like the set up and all but seriously? I hope by that, you mean using voice control because if not, that's just irresponsible as hell. I don't care how good you think you are at driving but texting while driving is nothing other than stupidity.

Man, I understand the concern, but when I said that, that's when I just got the thing set up. I was TESTING it out in my garage to see how the charging held up.
I don't text while driving unless I'm using speech to text. So you guys can rest easy.

I've been using a similar setup for almost a year and my phone has never, not once, fallen off. The magnets are really strong!
In fact I had the charger fall off the holder I'm using and my phone stayed firmly attached to the dangling charger (I've since screwed the N5 wireless charger onto the holder).
VOLTAGEROCK where did you buy that right angle adapter/cable from? Your setup looks pretty clean.

EBay. And you have to get the one that has the reverse micro usb male end, just like the nexus 5 and how we have to turn the cable around if we use the direct charge method. I'll find the link of the part number and post it.
As far as the clean look, I have the power coming straight from the fuse box. I bought a female adapter plug from radio shack that has a red and black wire coming out one side and the female input (good lord that sounds weird!) for the male car charger on the other side. I ran the red and black to the fuse box and zip tied the set up underneath the dash hidden. That way it looks really clean and I still have the 12 volt car port available for anything else that myself or someone may need it for.
Running to the fuse box takes some knowledge and a multimeter to know which side of the fuse panel is a constant 12 volt and the one that isn't. That's where the red wire goes. Then you push the fuse in which holds the wire in place and the fuse will blow if there's a problem. Obviously, the black wire goes to any ground point that you can screw down.

Look up this in the search field in ebay:
390653890035
It's the correct right angle adapter. I had to shave down a little of the surrounding rubber/plastic with a razor blade (very simple) to get the plug to fit perfect in the nexus charger.

Sorry, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that while the functionality may be "perfect," it looks like ****.
PS. Here's the thread I started on my implementation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...mod-googles-crappy-wireless-charging-t2925694) . I took apart the Nexus 4 charging orb (Google did a **** job designing it anyways) and on Tuesday I'm going to wire everything up.
It will be completely invisible to the naked eye, and fairly close to a stock look.

Thanks. Always love the compliments!
I don't know why I'm wasting my time with your opinion, but what is it that looks like ****? I thought that avoiding the huge car mount makes it look great along with running the power to the fuse box instead of the car's charging port.
I read briefly on what you're trying to do, but doesn't having my set up seem a whole lot easier? Plus, the phone is right in my line of sight.
