New Inductive charging back - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just ordered the new inductiive charging back for the Thunderbolt with the 1750 Seidio battery. I have the HTC 2750 battery but like the slim down feel and look. Anyways my question, Will the Palm Inductive Charger that is easily had on Ebay for around ten bucks work on the Thunderbolt Inductive charging back door. The Science is the same, I think, It would be a great alternative then buying a huge charging pad for seventy bucks. Hoping someone knows the answer to this. Thanks for any help.

I don't believe so. The coils have to be the same size creating the same wave. I think it's unlikely that it would be.

I don't think it'll work, however you can wire the pad from a palm into your TB. This has been extensively documented with Evo owners. The palm system uses magnets and holds the phone on a slope, so even if you did get it to work your phone would fall off the pad without the proper metal pieces in the back of the phone.

Any experiences on this desk charger from ebay?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...818692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa59c504
Looking to pick one up for primarily charging/syncing but most likely will be just charging since USB charges slower than the wall but I'm not sure if this charger charges at 1A or not.
I just ordered one yesterday. I need it to charge the fat extended batteries in the back slot. I am hoping that that if it doesn't come with a 1.0ma charger, I will be able to use one that I already have and get a decent charge time.
ive bought many ebay docks for many phones from many chineese dealers. these days i only buy from nakedcellphone
Only see one pic in the link when viewing on my phone, maybe there's only 1 pic, not sure. Anyway, from what I can tell, it looks just like the one I have. Mine works great for charging my phone and my HTC and Anker batteries. Phone docks nicely naked, and actually also works with some silicone an tpu cases. Seidio Surface w/kickstand case works, and even my Otterbox Commuter which really surprised me!! The charging tip just barely goes in deep enough to initiate charging with the Commuter. That's the only issue when trying to dock with thicker cases: The phone/case fits in the dock, but the charging tip isn't long enough to initiate charging. I assume that if it was much longer though it would cause the phone to not sit flat because the charging tip wouldn't bottom out in the phone (hope I'm making since here where you can understand me, lol, trying to explain it where it makes since).
Anyway, bottom line is the dock works great and well worth the money. I bought a generic dock for my Evo 4G and it never gave me a single issue. To my knowledge its still working great for the guy who bought my Evo 4G an all accessories... I'm gonna buy a generic Ebay dock for whichever phone I purchase next too. I have yet to see the need to spend more money on a dock with a name printed on it. Most of those don't have a spot in the back to charge an extra battery either, which is an absolute must for me! I probably use the battery charger more than the dock itself. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!!

[Q] Seidio 5,000 Extended Battery Released

Seidio has released there 5,000 mAh battery. It is on there site for $79. I'm gonna try it, just wish it had the extended battery door like the n7000.

Why Seidio Why??
That lump is just silly
this thing is huge!
No offense but, that thing is hideous. It takes less than 30 seconds to swap out a battery. For $80 you could buy the OEM charging station (includes OEM battery) + 2 spare OEM batteries. You would in effect have 10,000mah of battery power at your disposal.
Why not have a full backplate
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Don't buy it. I had an extended battery on my Captivate that had a hump too and I hated it. I would just rather have the whole door be big then just the bottom part.
That is my opinion of course.

They designed it that way to keep NFC intact. Look at the backdoor of your Note and will see two contact points on the NFC antenna that need to make contact with two contact points next to the microsd card slot. NFC compatible extended batteries on eBay have the same design. Also might explain why Mugen is taking so long with their variant because they could not find a work around.
However, that battery might fit with one of the non NFC compatible back covers on eBay. So you could sacrifice NFC for a better look with the extended battery.

I had one of these type bateries for my blackberry storm...same crappy backing same lump. Only case u could buy was their case lol
Not only is the battery expensive but it makes your phone ugly as sin. The phone is big enough but when you add this battery it turns it into a brick. Don't know why anyone would buy this.
Seidios next project, the 10,000 battery.

lmao!
I would love this battery. The only reason I havent purchased it yet is because I cant find a damned case that will accommodate it. I could give 2 ****s about NFC or the size of my phone (in fact i have always used extended batteries and I think it makes me drop them less). Does anybody know whether there is a case for our ATT version that fits around the camels hump?

I have one of these extended batteries on my Note. I also had one on my Blackberry before I switched to the Note. I require a long runtime with my phones, and I am not going to carry multiple batteries around with me to do so. Tried that with the BB, and hated it, and went the extended battery route.
So...I agree with the previous post about the battery door being stupid looking.
When I bought the extended battery (from ebay), I received a door for an international version of the note. I knew that was what I was getting since the extended battery door for the LTE version was not out yet, but I wanted to see if I could make it fit somehow. I also was aware that NFC would not work with the new door, and didn't care, since I haven't found a need for it yet.
I got the battery and international door in. battery fit fine, but door did not. I tried trimming the tabs a little and was able to make it fit, but not *lock* in place like the door should. The company I bought the extended battery from said they would send me the LTE door when they got them in, (that is another reason I was willing to try all of this).
I got the LTE door in. Yes, it is ugly. I like the style of the international door MUCH better. I am using the LTE door for now. Battery life on this "cheap" 5000 battery has been awesome. Previously, I was getting only about 6 hours per charge. Now, I am getting 10-12, which gets me through my day. No...it probably isn't a true 5000 battery, but for $12, and a company willing to work with me on the door, I was happy to try it out, and I am happy.
As for protection for the phone with an exteneded battery door, I have this coming in:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120841214598?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I am hoping that this will give some slight bumper protection but allow the battery bump to stick out. It only surrounds the very edge of the phone, not over the speaker like some of them do, which won't work.
Ok...to make this post even longer....
Anyone know of an extended battery door that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7000-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B006W4JNZ6
that will work on the US LTE? I know it won't have the NFC antenna, but I don't care. I just want one that is shaped like that instead of the ugly bump one I have now.

Local cobbler appears to have seen this thread a +1ed your comment. Says he won't have his name attached to something so likely hideous. He did apologize though and offer me a free shoelace in consolation. :/ I guess I will never have a case that fits over the extended battery for this phone. Maybe someone with some milling tools could make me an aluminum shark cage for it. Hmmmm.

No kickstand so still have to buy a cover which will then make our Note truly as big as a brick........Need the kick stand for as much video as I watch on my Note.

Extended Battery Case

Short version:
We would like an extended battery case that slips over our EVO LTE like much like a normal case would. This case would however have a USB that plugs into our phone and adds additional battery life. $49.99 will be a good price. Thanks.
P.S. If someone could please link to the site that makes these power packs, that would be great.
Schlong version:
2000 mAh stock battery won't cut it for me. It's big, but not BBC big. I'm use to a big 3500 mAh battery in my OG Hero/Epic 4G.
I need a nice, big, black, thick, powered battery case to go over my unit. This will ensure it's protected and juiced up. Ya, now getting back to the phone....
The thought of carrying around a big power brick to charge my phone is just disgusting and IDK when it became acceptable to XDA users to do this. You didn't do this when you bought your extended battery for your OG Epic 4G. Might as well just bring your charger and plug it in. I do own a 4000 mAh Energizer power brick and it's cool when I go camping or on road trips.......that's it. Not really on road trips because i'll use a cigarette lighter charger. That's much cooler and I get to annoy the driver and passenger as I sit on the floor between them.
I want to charge my phone over night and be set for two days. I need this power. It is not a question of will I use that much. Yes, yes I will. And you will too. We need an extended battery case similar to the Galaxy S II power pack on youtube. Look it up. You will cry out the code for HTC's kernel. Think about it. You know you want it.

I'm looking for something just like that. Hopefully since HTC is moving towards non-removable batteries more companies will put out these kind of products.
i wouldn't mind a case that has a built in swappable battery, and wireless charging
I want one of these for our new phones!!

Having the plug stuck out like that on the silicone portion of the case scares me. Coming from the OG Evo, I'm experiencing the dead usb port problem, which is caused mostly by USB cords being pulled/weighted (e.g. usb cords in cars pulling from below while on landscape). I almost think that something like this needs to be a two piece hard case that slides together from the sides and prevents any flexing of the plug, otherwise we're going to see something like a user accidentally swiping a hard surface with the plug side of the phone and breaking the usb port. Of course, no interchangeable batteries makes this situation a really tough one.
Might be interested if the case WASN'T Silicone... that **** is horrible. Now, TPU or something better like the material used for the Speck iCrap phones, I'm sold!
Check my thread on the official extended battery request.
Seidio is making one.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
There is a case being made by seidio
there is a case like that being made from seidio and slated for a july release.....
well i just saw the seidio power case for the iphone, and im very optomistic based on the design for the battery case that it wont add as much bulk as xpal powerskin would add. http://youtu.be/nlfJmmYjPKU
It looks pretty slim before the silicone is added on.
I assume since this is seidio first battery case that their version for the evo 4g lte will look very similar.

Blackberry blade, fast charge?

Hello all,
I am looking at getting one of the Blackberry chargers:
http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Fo...laybook/dp/tech-data/B004OZMWUS/ref=de_a_smtd
The folding power blades would be nice in my luggage, and it is 1.5A so it could fast charge but does anyone know if it actually does or would I have to do surgery on it to make it fast charge my Note?
Thanks very much all!
I imagine it would work fine, but wouldnt the included charger mini "block" work just as well? I understand the folding prong part, but it's also rather tiny and is smaller to start...plus it wont cost you $20 to charge at the same rate.
Point taken, just hate prongs destroying my luggage.
I always the prong protectors I usually try to accumulate to shield them.
Anyone know if the Samsung Portable dock (the one with a flip lid and will charge an extra day battery will allow fast charge?
Thanks

I didn't know that the HP unit already had folding prongs, Heck, I am ordering a 2nd one cause as good as the one that just arrived (nice rubber surface, folding prongs and just a great weight/build quality) these things are a STEAL!
Thanks for the advice, right on the money!

Yes it dose. I have been using this since my purchase of the note. Charges nice and fast.

[Q] Extended Battery! Protective case anyone???

Mugen makes an extended battery (http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-samsung-galaxy-note-2-with-battery-door.html ). I am happy to see it, I have used extended batteries on all of my last three Samsung smart phones going back to the Galaxy S, the only problem is no one makes a good protective case for them. Anyone have an Idea how we can get a company to produce one?
I just got one for x-mas its made by zilu tech. I think att might be the only place that sells them but im not positive. You can turn the charger on and off and charge the phone and the case with one plug.
