Need a extended battery for gsm GN

Hello guys i have a amazon credit and i wana use it up before it expire on wednesday. i wana buy a battery for my galaxy nexus which battery on amazon is good? i need a battery that will givee me a day with heavy usage. size dont matter. thanks for any help

I know you mentioned Amazon, but I wanted to give you an exact link to the product I bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120832462058&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 I really like this product, it only adds a tiny bit to the overall size and adds about an hour of heavy usage. If you are going to be using it non stop I'd recommend figuring out how long the current battery you use lasts under normal circumstances then approximate how big of a battery you would need from there.

Another vote for this. :good:

Is this actually genuine OEM? If not does it at least have NFC built in?

yes, this is genuine from samsung, so it does have NFC built in.Personally i'm gonna buy this in a short time .

This looks like a good deal for me but I had a question with the NFC chip. Will there be an issue with google wallet if I try to use a different nfc chip? I wasn't sure if they were somehow tied together from google/samsung. Thanks for the link and the great info!!

The NFC chip is located in your phone. The only thing on your battery is an antenna. As to the original poster: I've had this battery ever since they started selling and it's totally legit.

If you look at the description in the ebay link, it says OEM Samsung NFC
it's legit

That's not true, the NFC is located on the battery. However, the product itself is legit.

Yeah, most such ebay listingsa are fake / not genuine / ripoffs. If you're willing to spend that much, why not buy from Samsung directly?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EtCQH2eZYI I would think this is the same as the ebay one, although it's from Negri.
As far as I know, shimshop is a good ebay seller to get phone parts/accesories from.

Nice find.. I will pick one up very soon and wondering if there is a good universal battery charger to go along with this battery to swap out when my phone dies.

Can also be found at Expansys.

They charge an arm in the leg for shipping to canada.
Best bet for canadians would be ebay.

How long does it take to receive the battery from shimshop? How about expansys? Does anyone have any experience with these sellers?

If you're in the U.S., I would say buy from Expansys since they're in Illinois. Shimshop ships from S. Korea.

I ordered a battery from each of these sellers. I ordered the one from eXpansys on June 29th and it still has not shipped. I ordered from shimshop on July 6th and I received an email stating it will ship Monday, July 9th. The shipping might take longer from shimshop, but at least he ships quickly!

I use the Hyperion 3800 mAh extended battery. I get insane battery life...... got from Amazon for like 17 bucks.

Most, if not all of these same accessories can be found on eBay for a lot cheaper.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

I am always willing to pay a little extra to get it from the states. I order stuff because I want it now, not in 3 weeks. I have my eBay app set up to show only US sellers for that reason alone. I know it's all the same stuff. I contacted Amazon about putting that feature into their app twice, with no response

All those recognized name brands had to start off as unknowns at one point aswell. People these days cant seam to grasp that concept tho. Lots of times thats where NEW ideas come from. The NEW guys.

SlimPort adapter

Anyone find a cheap SlimPort adapter to get HDMI out to a TV?
I've been looking and was hoping they'd come down in price by now...

I know Amazon sells others, but the one from Analogix is the official one from what I understand, and it encounters the least issues. Further, they guarantee compatibility with all Nexus devices, as well as LG devices, and one of the Chromebooks. I personally use the SlimPort by Analogix (SP1002) for my N4, and it works very well. There is a new model out now (SP1003), which came out in July, which replaced the older model. From what I understand, it allows for better charging capabilities.

Buy adapter, imagine the possibilities! Day one: I can now watch Netflix on my TV via my phone! I can share photos from my phone on my TV!
Day two: Quickly realize I have no need or reason to do that again
Week two: Sell adapter

I was tempted by some of the less expensive Slimport adapters on Amazon, but eventually decided to go with the Analogix (SP1003-2116). It is just under $30 and if you are a Amazon Prime member free two day shipping. It seemed to get much better reviews than the other Slimport adapters. Mine came in the mail today along with a wireless charger. Hopefully my N5 arrives Monday so they can play.

Headphone Adapter WILDLY Overpriced!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask some of you guys that know more than me about this topic what's a good course of action here. I had a 6T for a while and appreciated having the adapter in the box, then traded that for a 7 Pro! Much to my surprise, no adapter in the box (as you all know at this point having bought the same device). So I go to the OP website and realize this is ROBBERY! For a small headphone adapter???
Point of this post, what is a good alternative that is cheaper, and has better or at least comparable sound output for our 7 Pro? OnePlus is high to be selling the adapter that high and not giving us one after blowing nearly $800 on the device itself! (I did, I bought the 12GB model!)

Goto Amazon and type in "usb-c to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter".
Only thing special about Oneplus is that it's red.

I've seen people talking a out DACs and such on here, like, saying that some adapters are cleaner quality than others? I know nothing about this myself. Did some forum reading here but still unsure what any of this is.
I've also seen posts that say an adapter without a DAC won't even work with the 7 Pro?

The 1st & 3rd links that came up for me specifically mentioned Oneplus.
(I'd screenshot but it's not letting me)

Alright I checked Amazon and eBay since my last reply, and they DO mention OnePlus. That makes things easier. I wonder how the sound quality is though. eBay has some SUPER cheap adapters, but I wonder about quality [emoji848] Thanks for the info man, appreciate that.

There's not really anything state-of-the-art going on here. I have no reason not to believe that those cables are as good, if not better, than the Oneplus one. Wouldn't even be surprised if they came out of the same factory.
Plus Amazon return policy is great.
Not happy, return it.

The one for the Google Pixel 2 right? I see it on eBay for about $9, which is a far more attractive price than the $20 OnePlus is asking, after shipping costs and all!

Avoid adapters for the Pixel phones as those include DACs that are not only unnecessary and more expensive but also result in subpar volume according to other users' experiences.
Check the other adapter thread in this section of the forum for more information.

Yes that is the one that works for me, although I purchased it on amazon, so I had the choice of returns. I don't have volume issues. Try it out and return it, if you don't like it. I also tried the essential adpater and that one didn't function as well.

Using this one. Works fine with the phone.
