Amazon 2 X 1500 Batteries

Has anyone checked this deal out at all?
2 1500mAH and a charger for $29.99
Dan
Update - The seller has now raised the price by $5.

I haven't seen it before. But, two batteries and an external charger for $30? Can't beat that, just bought it.

Let me know how it does.

Will do. Ground shipping so it'll probably be later this week.

From what I have read on them (ChiChiTech), expect on par or slightly less than OEM, but will serve purpose. Customer service sucks, but Amazon takes care of that, so should be ok. They also sell on ebay.

I think I can't order it. They used the most tasteless SEO.
This is a High Quality Battery for the HTC VERIZON THUNDERBOLT 4G LTE. Keep one as a spare and you're good to go that extra mile at work, checking emails, chatting with your friends or surfing the web on the road, Japan Tsunami Earthquake.

i always find non oem batteries die the day after the return policy is up. i'd rather pay the extra money to get one you know won't fry in your bolt when you overclock it

This is the same thing that is on ebay for around $12 free shipping. I bought one for my DINC and it worked great. Gonna get another set for the Bolt from ebay.
Update they are $10.99 free shipping with two 1500mah batteries...

I have to agree on the SEO issue, it's in poor taste to use the horrific events to sell a product. They likely work for Groupon and the superbowl ad company they used.

Ordered the same set up on the 18th, so hopefully it's here by end of month.

I agree - for $12, it's worth a punt - worse comes to worse, I'm out lunch + coffee money for a day (I live in NY ). Best case scenario obviously I then have 4 batteries.

Estimated between April 08 - April 21
WOW, just wow! hope you dont need them soon! id find another seller on ebay and pay a few dollars more for within a week atleast.

Picked it up last night. I don't care how long it takes, it's worth it just for the external charger, even if the batteries suck.
Worst case scenario, it would still get me a few extra hours. Best case: 4 batteries. Good deal.

Seems way too cheap to me but I just pulled the trigger too. Hopefully at least the charger works.

Their website is htcexpress.com. I got the 1800 mah batteries for my DInc. One of them gets way better than stock life and the other about the same. So hit or miss, I guess. I ordered some 1500s for my Bolt. Looks like it uses the same batteries as the MyTouch 4G.

You guys know thats an aftermarket battery in the amazon listing
deceiving pictures

I have purchased the "replacement" aftermarket batteries from overseas for the third time now. The first was for the Touch Pro, next for the Touch Pro 2 and now for the Thunderbolt. They arent as good as the OEM IMHO but do they really need to be?? I suggest being very careful with the wall charger though, very easy to brake stuff on the inside of the thing. After that happens it takes time (plugging and unplugging the stupid thing in the wall) to get it to charge a battery. Overall for the price u cant beat it!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GSWOZQ from what I've read the MyTouch has the same battery, I've purchased it and I'll give an update when I receive it. It's only 24.99 versus the 34.99 that they're marketing for the Thunderbolt.

sweet man. I might just have to get this

So it's September - where is the wireless charger?

Seems to have been forgotten!!!

You know if they released this on day 1 I would have bought it with the phone but now I had time to think I just don't want or need it.
So I honestly hope almost no one buys this thing so Samsung doesn't have these ridiculous delays in the future.

I wouldn't have cared as much if they actually "delayed" the alt color choices, but for that to have happened they would've had to let people know their would actually be color choices other then White and "Blurple" before or around launch. Not after selling numerous millions of devices........
Id've held off on the Blurple had I known a Black or Silver were in the works, but the news came long after my 30 days were up.

Colours are just superficial problems and just an annoyance more than a problem, but not being able to get 32 or 64gb versions still after 3 months is inexcusable since Samsung stupidly didn't include moving Apps to external SD.

This is embarassing, even nokia gets the wireless charging earlier on the market.

These guys were supposed to release their product by Sept 1 as well, haven't seen anything.

Don't buy it. No case on the planet will work with it. I've had it for a week now.
If you don't want to use a case and buy this kit, Just go to the Verizon store and ask them to get it from the back.

Mine is sitting on my desk right now. Works perfectly. VZW is selling the LG charging pad on their website. I had to go to ebay for a couple of the wireless charging doors, but they work great. I have a pebble blue, so I affixed the white charging element to the back of my Defender and it works perfectly with the case on. I could not be happier with the convenience.

The wireless charging is built into the battery door. Verizon probably didn't have them instock so he bought them online.

I have a 32 gig version, verizon branding, bought it about 3 weeks ago...

I've never seen/used wireless charger and wondering how much output does it provide? The stock wall charger is not able charge the phone when the phone is being heavily used, such as video call (GTalk/Skype) over cell network and GPS active. What are the chances that the phone has to be totally idle and nothing running in the background for the wireless charger being able do it's job?

just seen one in china, will post photo's later on.
Base
input 19V--1A
output 5-1A
pad
input 5V-700mA

Color me intrigued... How much that run you?
Is it the full battery cover replacement or just the inductive pad itself to put under the stock cover? Looks like just the pad itself sitting on a charging station. Not that is mind that one bit so long as it didn't bulge the case much. Been tempted to buy the Verizon covers and peeling the pads off to do just that actually

I have the Verizon cover, on AT&T phone and it works great except for that the NFC does not work , there is an extra contact that is only available on the Verizon version not sure why that is
== Yea.. I tapped that!

They merely announced them, none of the new gear is actually available yet.

FOR REAL...... how hard is it if all the hackers on here have modified them and the damn factory can't? I have no desire to physically mod this phone, even though I've got a car in the garage with a ridiculous amount of work done to it - I like to mod things like this but I'm really hoping Samsung can figure this out soon so I don't have to resort to it!

Messed up display!

I left my Moto 360 on the OEM charger overnight as I often do. When I took it off this morning, this is what I see. I have rebooted and power cycled but no change. Is this something that can be fixed, will Best Buy replace it, or should I contact Motorola? I bought it on September 25.

have you tried a factory reset? looks like your watch face profiles are corrupted.

Thanks, I have rebooted, powered off and on, and reset with no change. Guess it's time to contact Motorola.

If you got the replacement plan thing from BestBuy, yes they will replace it. I've already replaced my first 360. The back side cracked. Was no issue. Since all data is stored/synced from your phone, you won't lose anything. It'll all sync back over.

Since Motorola's warranty is for one year, I didn't bother with the Best Buy replacement plan. I haven't heard back from Motorola yet, but I wonder if Best Buy honors the manufacturer's warranty in house.

Update: I left it off the charger last night. This morning most, but not all of the white cloudy ring was gone! I thought it was all gone, but I can still see it on light screens like the settings screen. Whether it will go away completely is yet to be seen. Apparently nobody else has had this, so if Motorola will replace it, I'll let them.

Doubtful. You may be able to buy the plan now though. I got it because it covers everything except accidental breakage. You can get accidental breakage coverage for like $10 more. But any reason that it stops working other than me breaking it is covered. Plus in 2 years I'm sure you won't be able to get a new one in store and a new model may be out. In that case you'll get $$$ back and can buy the new one.

I may have just lucked out! A Motorola rep called this afternoon to say that my replacement would be delayed because the the silver with black band is out of stock. She offered several alternatives including black with leather or any of the metal band watches. I opted for the silver with the light metal band. She didn't say anything about an extra charge and I forgot to ask, so I hope I just got a free upgrade!

Battery = Crap

Is anyone else having massive battery issues? My 360 dies from 100% in about an hour, and is red hot the entire time. It has become unusable as a result. Seems like this device has gotten a lot of bad rep on battery issues but no one has nailed it down. About to actually throw this thing away but before I do it I'm making one last post on here to see if anyone has ANYTHING I can do.

Did a factory reset, took three times to actually do the reset instead of just rebooting like it was doing. After everything synced up, battery was still draining. I don't really have much of anything installed, battery life is still utter crap and the watch is overheating. To the trash it goes!

theres something very very wrong there , sounds like a app is draining your watch to me, have a look at the wear app on your phone to see if theres anything a miss

Battery stats show no app information. Just says that my battery is going to die in 45 mins from 90%

i would bite the bullet and wipe my phone and watch ..... because its clearly doing something in there

What is the phone doing to cause this? Is it the ROM? I'm on Pure Nexus on the 6P.

Why don't you contact Motorola and ask them for a replacement?
I did when my watch got a crack in the backplate (caused by me doing press ups, whilst wearing it) and they arranged for it to be collected, repaired and re-delivered free of charge.

I was thinking about that but I got it over a year ago so I'm not sure how long the warranty is.

I'm having the same issues, though not as severe as yours. My watch gets about fourteen hours, much less than it used to. I wish there was a place for me to send it to have the battery replaced. I'd send it to Moto, but given their [poor] history of customer service, I'll pass.
It's a shame, really; I like this device, and was thinking of picking up a second one in silver, especially now that the 1st gen prices have dropped as much as they have, but I also don't want to throw good money after bad.

I might just trash this one and get the Asus watch...Moto support was bad from what I read too.

I have a colleague who sent her son's Moto watch in for warranty exchange, and then waited more than three months before they finally told her that it would be a while before the replacement came, and there are numerous stories out there like that. It's really a shame, because it's a nice watch. The ASUS watch is too expensive for my taste, I really don't want to spend that much on it.

The Asus one on Amazon is $150 new. The original Asus watch is $99. Cheaper than the Moto.

throw it away, mines been to Moto already for a replacement and a few months later the pixels on the screen are starting to die, bottom right corner is all messed up. Moto are no longer the company they were. Get another watch from a better maker (LG, Huawei)

Yes, I agree with you. Moto simply isn't anywhere near the same company since all the acquisitions, damn shame. I don't really want to spend $300+ for a Huawei or another watch. Guess I'll just use it until it dies completely and then go back to my Gear Live. I like Android Wear, but hate Tizen!

Help With Getting A Replacement Device

I have a Google Pixel XL purchased around November of last year at Best Buy through Verizon. Over the past month I have noticed my battery life isn't as strong. Not only that but my chargers fit loosely in my phone and sometimes slips. Also my USB C to USB C charger needs to be jiggled and held in a ceirtan spot in order to get a charge. My USB A charger also takes an incredibly long time to charge my phone as well.
Who should I contact? Best Buy, Verizon or Google? I also have a cracked screen so I'm hoping I can do this over the phone and mail it and have it covered under shipping insurance as if it was damaged in transit. Or is it better to go to the store? If not I'm fine with paying the money to fix the screen and then having it fixed or exchanged.

best buy while you can as google will not send a temp. phone while yours is being worked on.

This helps me out a lot. Although I did go into best buy and they told me they couldn't help. But I also spoke to a friend at Verizon and they told me I should go back and ask for a district manager. Apparently it's supposed to be their responsibility.
