T-mobile Powerskin

Went to 2 diff stores here in orange county non of them knew what I was talking about till I showed them this article.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/12/new-mytouch4g-and-galaxy-tab-accessories-arrive/
Hope to find out more about it and see if its worth it!

I went to the TMO store with the intent of buying one and changed my mind once I saw the size. They add a lot of thickness and they have a lump on the side where the USB connector hooks up to the phone.

could you go back and get a picture of it next to stock phone, so we can see the size comparison?

I'm really amazed at how reluctant manufacturers (HTC?) are to utilize the damn charging contacts on the side of the phone! Seriously, what moron thought it would be a better idea to have a skin with a huge lump on the side to house a USB plug instead of simply wiring three small contacts into side of the skin? Come on! Pull your head out of your a$$es HTC!

This is pretty much the correct answer.
I don't understand it either. The pins were one of the reasons I decided to keep this phone over the Nexus S. I assumed we would get all kinds of cool accessories that made use of them. Alas, nothing.
Depressing, indeed.
I was excited about this accessory, until I saw that giant lump on the side. It's pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.

The Nexus One had the pins as well, during the life of the phone the only two items to use them were the HTC desk dock and car dock. Manufacturers seem to forget about them.

Whats so great about the pins anyway?

Saw it and I'll pass on this too...wth were they thinking on this one!

I love my nexus dock granted it didn't come issue free (won't dock right if not seated properly) but it automatically goes to clock mode and I had it hooked up to my stereo where I streamed/listed to my music docked/undocked.

Pins are great, you don't have to plug in your phone to charge your phone. All you do is just set it to the dock. Now for pins on a car dock, it automatically goes to carmode. I just hope if tmobile makes a cardock they learned from the mistakes of the nexus ver and add a 3.5mm jack in the back.

The pins are larger, and can allow for greater amperage depending on the internal circuitry. The Nexus One car dock would charge my phone *incredibly* fast; it was awesome. It was the one charger that could keep up with (and easily surpass) the discharge rate of the battery when using Google Navigation.

Ive wondered about this myself. I have one (got it for christmas), and while my battery life has increased, it seems to be getting worse and worse, especially if I ever go without the skin (ie, to charge the skin and still be able to use the phone). I swear, I was in the car on the way to college and had half the battery drain in oon hour powerskin was depleted. Mind you, that skin lasted a good 7+ hours, but then my phone nearly died before i got to school to charge it.

this thing is quite epic fail. i dont even mind the bulge its the fact that it keeps charging the battery at all times which scares the crap outta me. price is cheap at 40 but still not worth it. returning it tomorrow.

My Review
I have had this power skin for a week and I overall Like it. One thing this doesn't help is from not shattering the screen.. Because I shattered mine day 2 I had this powerskin, but I overall enjoy it and I don't even worry about the battery anymore.
A trick and something I noticed to make it not to always charge your device is if you charge just the powerskin by itself and unplug it then put your phone in it. It will not charge your phone until you turn it on by pressing the button on the back.
If you need more battery juice and longer battery life I suggest you get you will notice a difference.

I dont even know which tmobile stores are selling powerskins for this phone

just call and ask. alot of stores have them cause of the cancer lump on the side of the phone lols.

Hyperion Extended Battery

Ordered this a few days ago and it came in the mail today, it says for the i9300 (international) but I took the chance and it works great for my AT&T version.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BVIV06/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
It's a Hyperion 4000mAh extended battery. Its about the double the thickness of the stock battery and has a new back cover to come with it. On the card included with it, it suggested a 12 hour initial charge and then 4-5 cycles to reach full potential. I will be following up on the thread periodically over the next few days with some screenshots and other thoughts on how the battery is working out for me.
However, initial impressions are good. The back cover is good quality, however very slick compared to the stock one. The thickness with the added battery isn't terrible, and will definitely be worth it if it doubles the battery life like it should.

On the amazon site it looks enormously thick, like a half of an inch or so, can you measure it for exact thickness please?

5/8" thick total. Like I said, it makes it quite a bit thicker but double the juice... You gotta put it somewhere lol. At least it looks a lot better than the Note extended batteries did, those looked atrocious. There was just a bump where the battery was but behind the camera was stock thickness and it looked horrid.

Does the battery have the NFC antenna?

No nfc and bulky on a rather sleek n sexy phone...no go here. Plus the battery life on this thing is SICKKK, why the need for the extended batt? I could reason with an extra battery.

Well to add to my review, the back panel breaks VERY easy. My phone took a 2 ft tumble off my bed and it took a chunk out of the battery panel that came with the extended battery.

I was thinking of either getting an extra battery it just buy one of those battery packs that recharges the phone. Friend has one of the Energizer packs for his iPhone and it appears to work really good, that he bought an extra one.

I use my own AA rechargeable batteries (instead of alkaline disposables, which also work fine)
(I don't charge the AA's with its included AC plug, though, I have a better charger I use)

Unfortunately, $6 shipping.
Looks nice though with an equivalent storage of approximately 2000mAh with 4 NiMH's in it @ 5v or 10Wh (minus whatever conversion losses, probably about 10% so 9Wh). Original battery is about 7.8Wh capacity.

if you want a good external battery pack goto amazon. serach for vaas battery. get the $28.99 shipped one with the 2.1 amp output
sadly its mini usb not micro to charge but at least its STANDARD and not proprietary. it charges up my S3 just fine should be able to get 2 full charges out of it or run the phone for DAYS if you use it while the phone it already fully charged.
it is by far the best battery pack I have purchased yet I would not by anything else.
they have a cheaper one. SAME battery but less amps on the output. if you buy 2 to avoid shipping its under $16 a pop ($15.70 each) but I am not sure if it has enough power to charge. I know the 1amp outlet on my unit does NOT properly charge my S2/S3 (trickle charge) I have to use the 2.1 amp outlet.

Stock charger for the S3 is 700mA so a 1A charger should be more than enough. Some dual port chargers list 1A but limit each port to 500mA. I sometimes wonder if using higher capacity chargers (I've been using some HP Touchpad 2A chargers) might have thermal issues shortening battery life. But, I like the quick charge.

my stock s3 charger is 1A ??
there is "port" differences. I have a VAAS battery pack I use (6 of them I power a lot of stuff) and the 2.1 amp port charges the S3 fine but the 1A port is "slow" (trickle??)

Anyone having problems with this? Fit, finish and signal?
I just got the Hyperion Extended battery with the dark colored back. I also got their case to fit it.
All was well when I put the new battery in and covered it up with the new back cover. I then installed the case and left it to charge. That took about 3 hours to go from 58 to 100.
When I picked up the phone, I noted that there was no telephone signal (at home it was on wifi). I checked the settings (not in airplane mode) and then turned it on and off again and it was still no telephone signal. So, I took the case off, put the old battery back in and all was OK. I switched back and the signal is now good.
I noticed that the back cover was dirty. I thought I had gotten some kind of smudge on it so I wiped it off. The smudge just got bigger. The cheap coating of paint was coming off.
Earlier, I had noted that the charger plug didn't feel quite right. When I looked closer, I saw that the small top part of the opening for the plug didn't quite fit. We're talking a millimeter or so, but it doesn't quite fit. It is so thin that I cannot consider cutting it.
My first inclination is thinking that Hyperion is junk. Since I have been considering getting a new, bigger battery almost since I got the phone a couple of months ago, I don't want to give up.
So, what are your experiences with this company's products? If I send any part back, I have to send it all back. The battery came with the big cover so if I send back the cover, the battery goes with it. If I send those back, I don't need the case.
Where do I go from here?

I just bought the Hyperion as well. So far, so good. I did get the Hyperion case as well. The power and cooling buttons are really hard to push. Can anyone suggest another case that will fit the Hyperion?

No issues with mine so far. No signal issues like other member mentioned. The back cover fits very well. Charger plugs up with no problems.

I-Blason case battery pack

Just received this today from Amazon for about $65. So far I love it. Nice styling, does not add a lot of bulk, feels good to hold, leds and a push button switch on the back and a functional kickstand. Beautiful and the price was right. I'll repost here if I find any issues but doubt I will.

My main question for you guys is how long does it take to fully charge up the phone and from what percentage did you start charging and does it charge while using the phone?
I'm extremely concerned about the 500mA output. But I'm interested in the case cause of the styling and the kickstand.
Please post some pictures

They're also known as external battery packs or portable batteries. Whatever you call it, they amount to the same thing-- an external (usually rechargable) battery with a USB output that usually provides 1.2V current, enough to charge most phones (more ambitious ones can sometimes sport 2.0V ports for tablet charging).

I personally have never heard of them referred to as battery banks, so much as portable batteries. But to each their own.
Back on topic, the reviews seem nice, but I am interested in the charge life. The output doesn't concern me altogether much, as if the pack can either charge my phone on idle or slow burndown it will suit me just fine (I don't think I'd be using such a case incredibly regularly either).

On the 500mA side of things if you are running heavy tasks the battery % will drop faster obviously. But you have enough juice that it will help to have the case on as after the heavy usage is over then the case will trickle charge and provide plenty of juice from then onwards. The only real issue is whether the internal battery is used first. If this is the case and you fully use up the internal battery then the trickle charge will take a while to bring it back up again. If it's pulling charge from both batteries at the same time this should not be an issue. Perhaps it's best to email the company and ask?

I think people are asking because the mophie Juice Pack is rated at 1.5A, meaning it'll drain out its case battery charging the phone before the phone battery comes into play at all (if you set it up that way, of course).

So ive had this case for a while and I should note a few things. It seems to scratch easily. Doesnt bother me but may bother some. There is an edge around the entire thing, it collects dirt easily and is more difficult to clean. Not hard but not something that can just be wiped down anywhere. It seems to make a glare when taking pictures with the flash.
On some good notes it works great and feels great. I turn mine on as soon as I take the phone off the charger. I find it works better that way then having to power the phone and charge the battery. When I turn it on immediately it will last a good 8-12 hours. If its also charging the phone it only lasts a couple hours.

its nice dont get me wrong but it charges very slow

where can i find it in Middle East??

qi charging question..

Just looking to get an opinion if something is due-able or not. The only thing i miss on my nexus 4 to my Htc one is wireless charging (qi charging) So i have been thinking of making a qi charging case for the htc one. This shouldnt be too hard... buy a mico usb male plug

You may encounter trouble because of the One's all-metal body. Your case will need to completely isolate the coil from the body for this to work, if memory serves me right. Admittedly, it is aluminum, so I'm not altogether certain it will be an issue.

I would really like to see something like this. A couple of challenges I think would be keeping the plug area on the bottom to as thin as possible and second would be to keep the case as thin and small as possible.
I wish you luck!

Post pics of it on the phone and let us know what kind of charger your using. It looks like you could rip off that coil and place it in any case if it's thin .

Definitely report on results. I tried to make something like this for my One XL, and while it worked as far as charging went, it was unpredictable and seemed to make the phone unstable, though I could never figure out why. I suspect it's not just the charging current but that the phone's charging circuits and drivers need to be tuned for wireless.

planning to replace my housing so wanted to see if while im doing that, i could use something like this inside the case or will it not work at all due to the metal?

Thanks for letting us know about this. I'd not seen that, but it looks like just what I'd like to try and fit between my phone and case. The lack of wireless charging was the biggest reason I held off switching from my DNA to the One. I love the convenience of just plopping my phone on the orb charger during the day. The "type b" info is a big help. Much appreciated!

Works good, put it between my hardshell-case and the phone. Looks like the amazon-solution above is roughly the same
edit: Yeah, same as mentioned a few posts above... sorry for that. So, I can at least second that it fits quite well and doesn´t stick out much on the USB-Port

any idea how to use these universal receivers on my THL W8S?
my camera and my micro-usb port are in the same side, so the wire will cover my camera.
does anyone knows about an item that has longer wire so i can bend it around my camera?

this may not sound like the most logical idea, but isn't it possible to somehow use NFC for wireless charging, since NFC is about near field communication after all?

Nfc doesn't connect to the battery of the phone and the coil is not inductive as it is a derivative of close range rfid

A quick tip for the add on qi pads with the HTC one, as the USB is not in the middle you can't position the pad straight up or the curved back makes it hard to get a connection. Put it on a bit of a diagonal so the pad is in the centre of the back

Wireless charger suggestions?

Seen a lot of different ones on amazon and ebay. Just wondering what wireless chargers are worth getting.

I use Samsung's wireless charging stand, since I had it already from my S7. It works great with the G6.

I wonder why LG did come out with some new stuff for the LG G6?
Samsung had a bit of new Qi chargers( Dex), headphones..etc?

Is the fast wireless charging working on it? I read somewhere fast wireless charging doesn't work on Samsung's chargers
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

LG has their own mew fast charging unit. But they did not include the tech in yhe LG G6 they'll leave it for the v30 im sure. Imo if im wirelessly charging I'm not trying to fast charge anyhow. I've used many and IMO almost all built the same. Some have 3 coils for easier placement and some are smaller to take up less room. I literally just ordered this. 20% coupon code too. Plus Amazon 30 day return policy is amazing. For testing stuff. Not at all my video or advertising just sharing my experience.

I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Works great. I don't like stand chargers because I have kids and I'm sure they'd manage to knock my phone off of it... repeatedly. () I chose this one because it was decently priced, only about $20, and works great. Also has nearly all great reviews.

It just shows as standard charging, but typically I only need to charge my G6 at the end of the day and let it charge overnight, so I don't mind. If I need a quick charge, I just use the type C charger.

I got the CHOETECH T811C. It's cheap and seems pretty solid. Works through my case with no problems. I don't have any issues trying to find a "sweet spot" for it to start charging either, like I had with a previous charger.

I bought two chargers. One for work and one for home (bedside).
I use this one at work (the charge light was too bright in the room at night):

So far, I'm very happy with both.

I've had this for a couple years now and just pulled it out the closet. I recently picked up a G6 and thought I'd give it a shot. To my surprise, it worked like a charm. I haven't noticed how fast it charges because I leave on overnight just because it's easier to deal with in the dark. I haven't noticed any heating issues as it doesn't seem hot when I remove it. All in all it has worked well for me.

I too use this charger. Works great for me.
EDIT: Used to work. Now it works for about 30 seconds and then flashes error. I think that it might be because of my case. Not sure thought as I'm not going to take my case off every time I charge.
I also have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wire...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+wireless+fast+charger It works fine even with my case. It didn't work well for my G4 and the tylt worked well with it not my G6 works well with my samsung and not with my tylt. Go figure.

I have two of the vertical stands chargers from Seneo. Phone sits on its all day at work, and all night when sleeping. NEVER gets hot. Definitely recommend and purchased off Amazon. I wish it didn't have such a bright charging indicator light on it or at least the option to shut it off, but nothing a little black marker can't fix.

I had a cheapie Adrema, surprise it works and charges at 1.5 amps, faster than my original Samsung wireless ones. My G6 also works with my Belkin one.

Any good with a soldering iron?
A resistor of ~330 ohms 1/8 watt in series with the LED will dim it to what should be a suitable level.
Maybe I tinker with stuff too much

I can solder, not great but doable. Although in this case it's not remotely worth it. If I were to open this up I'd just disconnect the light altogether.

Yeah I get ya.
But I'd just have to get inside, the over-bright LED would do my head in. I bet it's blue too...?
I definitely tinker too much.

Hi,
I have recently bought choetech wireless charger for my g6. The charger also comes with micro USB charging cable. What i love most is that this wireless charger comes with integrated smart chip inside it that resist the wireless charger pad from overheating.

The official Samsung wireless charger seems to work pretty good and comes with it's own micro usb wall plug. It's on sale for $9.99.

I walked into a Best Buy and ask them for a price match. The price match was approved quickly.

Purchased Qi charger off Aliexpress and taped inside picture frame. Had to remove glass for reliable 1 amp charging. Phone held in place on the edge of inner frame.
