[Verizon LG G3] DrPhant0m:
I'm aware it doesn't come with wireless charging. (Neither did my Note 3) The reason for that is because Verizon can pocket the sales of wireless charging cases and battery doors, rather than give it away free in the box with the phone.

I intend to outfit my wife's phone with either a replacement battery cover, or a Qi adapter to enable wireless charging (as I did with my Note 3).

I agree that if it did support wireless charging natively... it would be in the form of an induction coil in a card/sticker in the back plate. That, however, is not evidence that the battery has nothing to do with it. At the very least... if I were to buy an alkaline (non-rechargeable, disposable) battery that fit in the phone... the battery would most definitely have something to do with it, and it would likely end in disaster if I tried to charge it. I know that's preposterous, and kind of a silly example, but it does prove that the battery does have an impact.

Please see this infographic, courtesy of powerbyproxi.com:

[IMG="Wireless charging cycle"]http://powerbyproxi.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/how-wireless-charging-works-resonant.jpg[/IMG]

#5 in that infographic tells the tale. The charging receiver (in the battery door) converts the AC current to DC for battery storage. So... this supports the notion that nothing in the battery should prevent wireless charging, because it doesn't need any special AC/DC conversion circuitry.

However...

I can conceive of possibilities that might require the battery to be in some way "compatible" with wireless charging... most of which would be something along the lines of smart-charging circuitry that might need to be integrated into the battery. Wireless charging occurs at a much lower current flow (~600mah on my Note 3) than it does over USB (up to 2100mah on my Note 3)... so that might require some kind of smarts. Maybe it's necessary for the technology to work... maybe LG puts it in their batteries to cut into the margins on cheap 3rd party products and promote their own $40 battery sales.

I'm looking for a more conclusive determination than to say that since the Qi coil is in the backplate of the phone... the batteries don't matter. I think there's more science and engineering to it than that, and I'm trying to determine if the sellers that state it's not designed for wireless charging know what they're talking about... or if they're erring on the side of safety to prevent potential backlash from mishaps with their batteries.

Thanks again!

PS... 300th post!

Battery has nothing to do with wireless charging. The wireless charging is like plugging a USB cable but with out the cable.

Any battery for the phone will do. It's a matter of how trustworthy is it and how long will it last. Just remember that what you pay is what you get. To me, batteries is one thing I don't buy. It has to be from a reputable 3rd party maker. I would love OEM but they are just too damn pricey. I also don't buy extra batteries because it'll require me to remove the battery from the phone and reboot it.

I just buy a external battery pack and charge the phone. it also serves as multi-purpose as I can charge my tablet as well and other phones.
[Verizon LG G3] zgroten:
I would only go with a Genuine OEM battery.

Bought this, no heating issues at all, and lasts just as long as my original battery.

Anyone tried the aftermarket NFC/Qi wireless charging sticker for the backplate?
[Verizon LG G3] Jewveeski:
I Finally got these batteries by case logic with the wall charger and all works great wireless charging is no problem with the case logic batteries I know there was a lot of confusion. The battery life is phenomenal just as good as my oem battery. Hope this helps

Emailed them saying I bought the phone before Sept promo but could they make an exception and they said they could so give it a go even if u were an early adopter (thanks Reddit).
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Not enough accessories.

I'm really disappointed in the amount of 3rd party support for the G3. I want awesome batteries and compact wall chargers for relatively cheap like is available for many other phones.

I e-mailed Anker a bit ago before I decided to try the phone and basically got a "we are going to have G3 batts but no eta".

[IMG="Anker response to LG G3 batteries."]http://i.imgur.com/7wnBtU5.jpg[/IMG]

Obviously that was written before I knew NFC wasn't on the battery but the back panel which is an entirely different problem especially when it comes to wireless charging.

[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Did you include a screenshot of your amazon order confirmation?

I didn't use amazon but I took a picture of the codes on the box and took a picture of my store receipt and then combined them into one image since the form only allowed me to upload one image.

Why is it taking them so long to ship these out. The e-mail I got that said my submission was validated states that it will take 4-6 weeks before it's even shipped.

I see on LG's website that you can't even buy an extra battery outright for the G3. I really want two extras and it sounds like it's going to be tought to get a hold of OEM batteries. Extra batteries are extremely handy when you are traveling.

Batteries vs Power bank

Sorry to jump in here, but ive been thinking about getting batteries (and a battery charger is an obvious must) but i wonder what everyone thinks about batteries vs power bank, pros and cons, etc. I have an awesome power bank that wirelessly charges my g3 (i have a qi sticker in my original backplate) so its pretty convenient to charge if i have my bank: dont even need a cord! But a battery would be smaller to carry around, i woulnt have to leave my phone and bank on a flat surface to charge, but id have to power down, change batteries, and then remember to charge the dead cell. The bank has a nice indicator light to tell when its low. Opinions?
[Verizon LG G3] jfriend33:
I did both only because my Nexus 7 2013 doesn't have a removable battery. I thought flying across the country would leave me with no juice but I didn't even use my 13,000mah anker astro pack! Lol.

Anyway I love having the spare g3 battery because it fits in my pocket. I also like to just swap out batteries so I'm never plugged in to a charger. Basically every other day I will swap them out and before bed once it's charged I'll take it off so it doesn't just sit there.

Sent from my LG-VS985 adorned w/ Illusion ROM :)
[Verizon LG G3] drewwho:
I have the slimguard case for wireless charging and extra Anker battery which I haven't noticed difference from stock. Only thing I would question about carrying a bank around and using it for wireless charging is the efficiency loss thru charging, you probably give up 20% of available power bank due to loss thru wireless charging.

HI Guys,

I have a vodofone 1605 with a t-mobile sim card. I have web n walk on my account with hsdpa enabled. However, my hermes doesn't allow me to enable it. I looked in the preconfig.txt where it told me that it was disabled.

I tried the hermes tweaker and clicked on enable hsdpa. It did say that it has been enable. However when it restarts I still have standard 3g. Looking again at the preconfig it says disabled.

I tried the sethsdpa route. I copied the link file into windows and clicked on it. nothing happened. I also placed it in the start up folder. reset the device, still nothing happened.

Can anyone help me?

Is there a third route? Can I go into the registry and enable it?

How can I from the command line do this' sethsdpa.exe /enable'

If I can't get it working, is there any way of putting a t-mobile rom onto the handset?

Hei guys,

I found this interesting thing on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/378232716/inkcase-plus-e-ink-screen-for-android-phone

It's a 3.5" 360x600 pixel E-Ink display thats 5mm thick and has a 500mAh battery which should reach *up to* 19 Hours.

If we Vote on their Facebook page (just comment the Status where its says Vote) they might even make a case for the Xperia Z2

Promised us an S3 case, he released the iPhone version (about a year and a half late), all the S3 owners upgraded so it's no use anymore, and he is ignoring refunds and questions about the S3 version.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] knoxploration:
Sorry you lost your money, but it looks like an idiotic product anyway. Double the size of your phone with an ugly case, then carry around a honking-great handgrip as well? No thanks -- if you're going to add all that bulk, you might as well just carry a real camera.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
I know, I wanted to show there was support for android accessories seeing as they were almost always for the iPhone only, plus I wanted it for a tripod mount for time lapse photography.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Whenever we video record live bands my audio is just distorted and choppy but my friends audio is good on their iphones. I've compared three events. I figured it would happen to all of us because its death metal so it's super loud. But because it didn't happen with theirs I'm super envious.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
I guess this is a common issue! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlzotUTrd1Q

Recording live music is always tough I suppose as the microphones have to be capable of hearing you say "OK Google" pretty quietly... clearly in decibel terms that is mile away from volumes at a concert.

If the iPhone does it well that's probably kudos to Apple rather than a big red mark against LG. It does cost half as much afterall!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Yeah good points. I wonder if I turn off google now, it'll make a difference.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is a microphone issue n the N5. You'll never get goo results. You my improve them by covering up the noise cancellation microphone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
I'm curious if this is kernel related. I know I had the problem when I was on stock. I just played a video that I recorded while on franco kernel and the sound seemed fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Its likely just better quality mics on the iPhone, or designed mic just like how Nokia made their phone able to record loud audio concerts over 100 db. Nexus 5 just didn't cover that function.

Or as said perhaps blocking the noise canceling mic may be a work around. A kernel could perhaps fix it but that depends on many things so I doubt that would happen.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daagen:
In the case of samsung, you'll never know. My guess is that it's coming but much later, if we're lucky we get it in the first half of next year :eek:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrass:
We'll still be well within the typical 18 month support/upgrade window, but unfortunately nothing is really a given. Hopefully by then we'll have a slew of ROMs available to ease the pain if we don't receive the Android L release.

Most likely we will get it well AFTER the new wave of tablets that launch with the new OS.

I wouldn't put any hope on Samsung for the updates because as soon as CM releases a rom for this I would say goodbye to the stock rom, and based on that the chance is very very high that the device gets Android L.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeKToReX:
Same, mine's up for sale right now, I was planning on getting one of these but I think I might have to go for the GPad GPe or the Tab Pro 8.4 now.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

It will get L, pretty sure about that. But anything after that is a crapshoot.

And CM rarely appears on Exynos based devices these days - Nexus exempted. Better don't put too much hope on that.

Yeah, mine was the P6800 too, I'm gonna miss it!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
At this point I'd be happy with just a debloated rom and overclockable kernel based on the 800 firmware :) Comparing the Pro thread to this one pretty clear the significant devs already own the Pro model and won't be buying this one.

Not sure how hard it would be to port the Pro 10.1 roms to the S 10.5. I believe same processor and bluetooth. Seems possible on the surface. Maybe we need to go to the Pro thread and start begging the Devs in some PM's?
[Samsung Gear 2] firstflyer:
It appears that Samsung is removing apps from Gear manager that were actually useful to be replaced by gadget apps that really don't do much.

Called Support to ask what happened to MapMyRun, one of the original fitness apps available. The answer- probably pulled by the developer they say!

Why- I ask? They don't really know, just speculation. I asked how I would replace it if I had to do a reset since right now it still functions and is in my list of apps, the answer is you can't.. Bottom line the answer is that I am SOL. By the way this is for the US market and if it is still around in other markets please post something.

I think it is time to return the Gear 2 and cut my loses. We can't even keep the apps we have much less get any good new ones even with $1.25 mill up for grabs! Ashamed because I really like some of the features but am beginning to believe that what we have now is about as good as it is going to get with Android Wear out and the Apple and Microsoft wearables in the near future. Don't even mention the rumors about the Gear 3 to go along with the Note 4!
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
I got a Gear Manager update today to 2.1.14071502 but MapMyRun still doesn't show. I got it earlier and hope they pulled it to finally add heart rate monitor support for the Gear 2.
[Samsung Gear 2] klwinkel:
If it was pulled by the developers, then Samsung should now, not just guessing.

I bet it is their app store screwing things up.

I have seen it for my own apps too, suddenly many users an't see the app anymore.

Lately I decided to reinstall it so I could run Hay day but I keep getting a (can't open zip file) I have downloaded cm10.1 and ggapps-jb three different times. I can't for the life of me figure out what i'm not doing to get this thing to install JB? Help please!
