Must haves?

I just ordered my TB, I want to know what accessories I should buy to make it the best phone on the market.

charger...
other than that...i dont use anything they gave me. not the car charger, car mount, screen protectors, and now not even the double case..

i recommend a tpu material case (jelly-like yet somewhat hard plastic material, NOT silicone which attracts lint and sticks to things) for $10 or less from amazon/ebay and a cheap screen protector from the same sources.

HTC Extended Battery

If anyone hunting around ebay sees the good stuff if you could throw up some links? I just bought 3 1500mAh batteries for 12.00 including shipping, so even if they dont work Ill have some nice paperweights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200593732607&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Has anyone got anything from that company or have any dealing with close batteries

secondary charger, screen protector

Car charger.. the key is to charge it everywhere until they can optimize battery life

My car chargers always brake, What do you use?

How do u break ur charger? I'm more curious about that lol
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

No, Idea after I got my eris I bought the official verizon and like 2 weeks later it just stopped charging, since then I only buy the super cheap ones and I can't really blame them on braking

Agreed 100%. They should've sold it with the extended battery already on it for $299.99 in my opinion, but I'm sure that would have made some people think twice about buying it to begin with.

I always break my car chargers too, so I bought a little car usb charger and plug into that, havent had a problem since and I can charge anything now.

Yeah I have a little USB car charger that lets me use my own USB cable. Great since I can swap between my Micro-B cable (for the TB) and another cable such as say the Zune cable.

Wireless Charging

With news that the Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb is being release in February, I'm curious to know if anyone has tested out this ability on their LGOG..... If specs are very similar to the Nexus 4, would the Charging Orb work....
It would be sweet to get this or some sort of wireless charger for our LGOG :fingers-crossed:

won't work

There has to be a wireless adapter usually on the back of the battery door for it to work. Unfortunately the nexus 4 has it, and the LGOG doesn't.
Some companies make aftermarket adapters for popular phones, however with a so called "non-removable" battery, it doesn't seem likely for us. But we can hope...

I tried to remove it. But its glued to the back of the screen. Didn't want to mess up the battery. LOL.

I read somewhere that with a little ingenuity and a soldering iron you could essentially make the OG compatible. Having never soldered anything in my life I ignored it, but try googling that if you feel capable of doing something like this.

I wonder how easy it would be to install the Palm Pre's touchstone coil in this phone, or if it's possible to install the Qi charging coil from an N4.....

I was wondering the same thing. I looked in the service manual and it seems that the same 2 powerpoints are on the Samsung Galaxy S 3 are also on this device. Can anyone confirm that these 2 points to the right of the battery are for charging contacts?

I have a couple of touchstones around somewhere. My biggest fear for this mod would be the pressure from coil pushing on the inside of the glass back.

So I know this isn't exactly what you guys want, but it may be worth a shot.

Supcase?

So I ordered a supcase for my nexus 7.
. When I opened it I found a piece of paper saying you had to take the tablet out of the case before using a wireless charger
I plan on using a qi charger nightly.
Should I ignore the warning (liability?) Is it possible it would damage my tablet? Or possibly burst into flames?
Are other n7 cases like this too?
Seems like it would be a pain to remove it daily

I don't have a supcase myself but i have had my HP touchpad in one of those folio style leather/faux leather cases charging on the touchstone for a long time as well as my N7 in a moko super slim and their folio before it and the only thing that happens is that the case gets warm where the coils are. I don't gurantee that nothing will happen but i think they're just covering their asses in case some freak accident does happen.
Maybe the material can warp or discolor over time if its constantly subject to that kind of temps? I surely hope not as my tablet gets hotter when i'm gaming.

Yeah that's what I was thinking it was just to cover themselves legally.

I have a Supcase on my N7 FHD, and a Qi charger. Well, I should have said I "DID" have, because I don't anymore, not after they all 3 burst in to flames while I was sleeping last night!!
Just joking with ya! Haha I just couldn't pass up that opportunity. I'm sure you'll be fine, and it's just a standard disclaimer to cover their butts. Just to be on the extra safe side of things, you can check the temperature of the tablet every hour or so the first 2-3 times that you charge it using your Qi charger with the case on it.

Yea man, I know you were joking about it bursting in to flames just as much as I was. I was being sincere about checking the temperature every so often to be sure that the tablet won't incur any type of damage from overheating while charging

Charger port - not good build quality?

I'm now on my 3rd S3 which thankfully is still covered by warranty. I really would like to avoid having to go through this over and over but I'm not sure how to avoid the charger port not working properly over time. I don't think I've done anything really to provoke it. I think the case might have angled the port a little so I'll likely stop using that case
I'm curious though - is anyone else experiencing this? Looks like I can do self repair but it would require soldering skills which I don't have

It looks like that is the case. I'm going to try it out myself. Ordered the receiver from Fast Time and a Nokia wireless charging pad from AT&T

I'm having a similar issue in that I cannot charge the phone via the USB. It starts to charge but then the LED goes off. By the morning I am down to 3% charge after 7 hours of being plugged in. I have tried 3 different batteries, 4 cables and ac adapters. I reflashed to stock and then had a Samsung guy at Best Buy reflash again. Same thing happens. The only way I can charge is with an external battery charger or if I use an iPad was charger with my USB cable...go figure.

My S3 is only a couple months old, but so far, it's holding up nicely. Is the issue actually with the charge port, or with lint from your clothes preventing the charger from connecting to the pins in the port?
No phone could have a worse charge port than the Evo 4G. I was lucky to never have an issue with it, but I know tons of people did.

I cleaned the lint out, but it still would not work properly. I also tried different batteries, cables, wall ports, usb ports, everything.

Case for wireless charging back?

Hey guys, first post here...
Despite being described as the same size as the original back, the Samsung wireless charging back is not even close. Now my otterbox doesn't fit, my tech21 doesn't fit... And it's a struggle to get my Bodyglove shocksuit to fit and just feels awkward.
Any suggestions on a case that will work with this? I love not having a case on it but am horrified at the possibilities that can come from having no case...
Thanks in advance!

I returned my wireless-charging back plate and got one of these instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GV0Q78M/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
works flawlessly with the stock back cover, and then in my Seidio Surface kickstand case.

I use the same thing edouble312 posted and I use it in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I leave the original back cover off the phone so that the bump caused by the charger isn't so noticeable.

There are whole threads on wireless charging in the Note 3 accessories threads.

And that works with the Samsung official pad yes? Just starting to dabble into the wireless thing...

Works pretty good, using it with a Zens Qi charging pad, except for auto shutoff of charging.
