External Power Backup 3000-3200mAh

Hi everyone.
Be care full all things of this kind of battery is just publicity nothing real.
Here is how it's look

Inside is just a regulator for charg internal battery and a power up convertor to get 5V
The main battery who run this external battery is just a big flat 2800 mAh 3,7V battery more exact his code is YY 426390P 3.7V 2800mAh 12YE005.
Price tell you how much is plastics, how much is true and how much is publicity.
Here is the pics with image from what is inside.
Power Board covertor up/down from 5 to 4.2V max (that much can take Li Ion battery) when charge extender battery and up convertor from 3.7-4.2 to 5v to power your phone.
All parst who make the extender
The back cover of extender
The EXTENDER BATTERY 2800mAh not 3200mAh and never will get 2800mAh as he convert his power to 5V wher will lose some power on convertor (the button for on/off get hot when is used to power your phone)
Make a litle ajustment for hole of back camera and flash because when you shut in low light and have flash on or auto the white around flash will get back on your camera and picture will get unclear and with to much shadow. I will got a permanent marker black and make the hole black around camera and flash. In this way i can take a pic w/o get some noise from white.
Here is things who get broken easy w/o meaning i wish to do that i never know when i did that but i did it
As advice if you want a battery extender dont get this kind better buy an another 2500mAh and you get more power than from this.
Or use and inside replacement battery than external power battery except the price is very cheap.
Remember this batterys have some power to lose when get charge your phone because is a convertor who get hot (more or less ) but that means he lose that power.
Using my old 3.7V 3000mAh battery from Galaxy I9000 give me more power than this Extender and was only 10$ instead of 19$ who was this.
For around 10$ will worth and not you buy it for extend your time to play with phone but dont expect to much.
Hope some will get this value at least i will feel good because not all got cheat by numbers

Bought one of this (black) on ebay for £14.99, and I can tell you that it can not charge the phone battery over 85%. Phone gets excessively hot whilst getting charge. Also, IT TAKES FOREVER TO CHARGE UP THIS THING. Standard battery charges up in about 2.5 hours but it takes more than 8hours to this power pack.
NOT RECOMMENDED.

Sigh, and I wanted to get one for my Note. I guess it has some issues with build quality. :crying:
Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

I nearly want to bug exactly this type of power bank. Now, change my mind tp buy cheap extended 5000mah instead.

Get 2 this even they dont have real 5000mAh will get more than 1 as 2600-3000 and is a pair of 2 so you will have 3 battery for a very low price and 2 of them it will keep you all day long using alot.
Here is the link of what i order.

Thanks for your recommend link. So, cheap 5000 isnt really 5000. It will be less than that. So i need to prepare 2x 5000mah for me to last a day long. I can order from ebay. Maybe will search other thread to buy it.

Hoping for a reply on this old topic..
Sorry for bringing back an old post, but I have a question about this. I actually bought one of these long before I ever read this post, and to be honest up until it completely stopped being able to charge my internal battery, I never had one problem with this case, and actually really liked it. All that came to a sad halt when one day, it just stopped being recognized by my Galaxy Note when plugged into it. Which mind you really made no sense to me because if I plugged the little Mirco USB tail to another device that could be charged by the same battery and had a Micro USB female to accept it, it was picked up and had no problems charging it, as well, my Note could be charged by any other Micro USB charger, so why all of a sudden it stopped being able to be charged by this case/battery is beyond me since both work fine unless plugged together. I contacted the place where I purchased it and they did send me out another one free of charge and told me to keep the one that wasn't working anymore.
When I found this post, I decided to open the the broken one, and googled the number on the battery "426390P" which was the only reason I found this post. This post actually surprised me because up until this one stopped working, it was working perfectly fine on my SGH-i717. I mean it charged the battery everytime to 100%, sometimes it would charge my battery about 1.5 times before I would have to recharge it. I thought it was the best case I have ever used quite honestly.
So now the real reason for replying to this post. Do you guys think that if I could find a 3.7V, higher mAh battery (or even make my own) that would fit in the case, it would work with the upconverter board that is already inside? I am no electronics expert, so I don't know the functions of all the pieces on the board, but I figured if I could find or make a new higher mAh battery that would fit inside, not only would it beef up the longevity of my battery life on my device, but it would allow me to keep using a case that I actually like and love the way it fits with my device and since I have the black case, I do not have the glare issue with the camera nor any shadowing issues.
I am curious as to what you guys think..
Thanks in advance!

[MOD] S3 Wireless Charging Palm Touchstone (Origami technique)

HI all, following the success of my Note 2 Origami Wireless charging mod here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986016
I now present to you the Origami Wireless Charging mod for the Galaxy S3
The technique is very simple and you only need a Palm Pre wireless receiver and copper tape.
The instructions are similar to for the NOte 2, just look at the above link. The only difference is the alignment of the contacts.
I should not have to elaborate on this as the pictures will show you what I mean.
I am currently using a Spigen SGP Ultra bumper case with this mod without problem.
This mod charges the GS3 around 16% to 17% per hour it is quicker than that on the NOte 2
NFC function is NOT affected as far as I can tell.
Here are a few pics:

This is how it looks like with just an original Samsung TPU case....

Well, that certainly looks a lot neater than the mess I've got back there.

Were you able to test the Freq of the Magnetic field while charging to see how much of the field is effected by the exposed Copper trailing off from the Coiled Copper in the protective sleeve, make sure the induction wasn't attracted to exposed copper and run that path, maybe bypassing the circuit board in the black sleeve with the Coil....How the Induction is created is the Receive and Transmitting Copper coils have to be of equal size etc....

I tried this tto, and it was a mess. Drained the battery overnight. Musta done something wrong and am going to have to try again someday...

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like you probably have contacts touching each other where it isn't supposed to. make sure none of the copper tapes are touching

HI all, I have tested NFC and I can confirm it blocks NFC, this may be due to the NFC antenna is in the battery and the wireless receiver sits on top of the battery.
Not entirely a loss to me because I can still send files via direct WiFi.

has anyone done this yet ???

Im going to attempt doing this whenever I get a chance. It doesn't look difficult at all and truthfully I could care less about doing NFC when I can easily take the back cover off and still transfer files via NFC regardless.

I am not sure what method you used but I have done this on two devices and both have kept nfc functionality.

This actually depends on where you put the coil. I think the nfc antenna is around top half of phone. Easiest way to test is by using nfc tags or a pay pass credit card to help placement of coil height/location.

I placed mine smack in the the middle on the phone so it would be centered in landscape and portrait and have had no NFC issues.

Any reason why this wouldn't work with an AOSP ROM. I tried this and got nothing but it could very well need to be redone.

there is no reason this mod will not work on aosp.
check what you did. you probably missed a step or wired it incorrectly.

Figured it out, needed to roll some electrical tape to keep the copper on the contacts.

hi,
i did this mod to my unrooted stock s3.
It works, when i place it on the charger, i got a "bong" and it fharges. But theres no wireless notification.
any idea why?

sorry no clue, but hopefully someone whoi knows more than myself will chime in... does it charge though?

If it is indeed charging then I wouldn't complain at all. I wish I didn't get the pop up saying it's connected to a wireless charging device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

you should be able to go into your system/media/ folder and replace the connect sound with a blank sound if you want to remove the charging sound.
the pop up is part of samsung's os.. but it just goes away after a few seconds, so i dont have any issues with it. I usually drop mine off onto the charger and go to sleep.

I modded my S3 too, finally it is working.
How fast are your charging-speeds?
mine is increadably bad..
When I keep on the screen, it does not really charge, screen-off it charges, but very slow..

I assume this works with any cyanogenmod/ASOP rom, correct?

This Gadget Is a Handheld "Power Plant"

No release date as of yet but I'll be on the look out for this...
UPDATE: THE CORES ARE NOT RECHARGEABLE. THAT'S A LET DOWN FOR ME. HOWEVER, I DO SEE THE MARKET FOR THIS.
When we say "two weeks to a month" of power, we're referring to the ability to charge your phone (tested on an iPhone 5) once a day for two weeks. But for people who charge their phone around 20% battery life (instead of when the phone is completely dead), like many people, the charge would last about a month. That's where those numbers come from.

WOW...that seems great....

But, it is way cheaper to recharge using a normal battery pack. I see a reason this technology exists, but, its calling is not recharging batteries.

What are people supposed to do with old pods?
This seems a bit bass awkwards

200$+ for the power plant.

I'm not sure it is for me and you on a daily use basis where we can plug in etc...but if you are a long distance traveler and in areas where there ain't no plugs, 10 of these in a bag would last you a while in remote areas. Pretty much anyone that goes to, reports on or whatever for long periods of time, I can see how this would be a god send.

So it's a fuel cell basically. Probably enclosed. Fuel cells run off hydrogen typically gained from splitting water molecules. More advanced fuel cells can gain a higher efficiency rate when mixed with other chemicals.
I'd be interested to see if you could crack one of these babies open and just refill it with water. I know they already have water-based chargers. Using pure water would probably reduce the efficiency and longevity, but its water... refilling is still easy.
Most companies that are doing these "fuel cells" are really just trying to find a way to nickle and dime the customers. Companies don't want to introduce "free energy" by just filling up a bottle with water. They want to split the modules and sell you just the hydrogen/fuel mixtures.
Would be nice to just buy a fuel cell that lasts a few years. That would be worth it. But the cost of this device + refills <> electric? Are they trying to make a "cheaper" solution to plugging in to the wall every night (cause they should be) or are they marketing it as a "convenience" device with a high price tag (seems like it).

It looks like whether or not this is even going to get released is in question.
This is a comment on the product page @ Brookstone:
"Ordered from brookstone during the CES promotion with a shipping date of july its now september and acording to customer service they dont know that they will ever get them. Theres even a nifty term for that vaporware."

Or just bring one solar panel charger and an external battery pack that you can charge during the day.

This one looks like a better deal to me. If I needed a kit for wilderness trips, this would be the one.

I always carry a Goal Zero Nomad 7 in my bag. It's never failed me when I needed it. I have the battery pack accessory, so I can keep it charged up for times when I need a charge at night, or it's just too rainy. I've been thinking of upgrading to a slightly larger panel. Anyway, my point is that portable solar panes are great, and they don't cost anything but the initial investment.

I have a 12,000mAh power supply with 3 USB ports that I use quite often, I got it for $35-$40.

I looked into this a bit more and found out that the fuel pods contain butane. They are asking $10 a pod (pre-orders get a free one).

Too expensive for me, but would be great alternative to solar power for long camping trips.

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.

Same here. I was afraid I was gonna damage my phone. I had the issue with the old N5 although it wasn't as bad.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yeah, I was a little hesitant when I first plugged it in. Needed more force than I was comfortable with and unplugging it too

It only seems bad when removing the cable, I need to grab myself a USB A to C cable now to root

I'm a little bummed that I can't pull the cable out with one hand anymore, but it's a welcome departure from my experience with a lot of aging microUSB cables where they fall out on their own.

Same here. When I insert the cable it feels okay, though theres a 'bump'. But it gets really stucked when i tried to pull it out. For one moment i thought theres a release button or sth.

Mine goes in and comes out easily

My phone seems to have this "issue" too. It offers up a lot of resistance when plugging in and unplugging the cable. I have also noticed the same thing with the headphone port. Other than that I am pretty happy so far. I have only had it for a day and a half though. I read some bad reports on battery life but it seems pretty good to me so far. I usually notice an increase after a few charge cycles ( after a week or so) so if it gets even better I will be pretty pleased with it. I also saw some videos showing really slow boot times and app launching etc. but I have found my experience to be MUCH quicker in every regard. I am assuming the testing they carried out was on a beta or earlier build of M. I cant link to the video on here but you can find if you search for Nexus 5x and 6p speed test. Also the site with the reports of bad battery life was the review on digital trends.
What has your experience been of battery life and general speed/ responsiveness of the UI?

Battery seems like an improvement over the N5 but too early to tell by how much, responsiveness is good though I've noticed some occasional issues with scrolling. Any performance regression compared to the N5 could probably be related to the forced (non-hardware accelerated) encryption.
My USB goes in nicely but is tough to pull out.

Mines would go in, but I couldn't do it anymore so I had to pull out.

Isn't a tight fit desirable? :good:
Yeah, its a bit scary how hard I have to pull to get it out.
With both the OEM charger and the USB A to C cable being sold from the Google Store.

I think the "tight" fit has more to do with the design of USB Type-C and not really an issue with your phones.
I haven't personally used the USB connection on a 5X. However, my employer recently gave me an iPhone 6S, which has USB Type-C as well (Don't worry, I still use my Nexus 6 for personal use. ). With the iPhone, I immediately noticed that the connection to the phone was very tight and requires extra force to get in and out of the phone. You get used to it after a little while and after a few weeks of use I can say that I definitely prefer the new connection over the old older connection on my Nexus 6 and Nexus 7.
So, my suggestion is to not over think this as an issue. It's just a tighter fit, plain and simple. You'll get used to it.

You lucky people... my Nexus 5X does not exist yet, but my 9... It's so loose...
