I guess I won't be receiving my free battery and charger until 4-6 weeks from 9/23. So that's before November 4th.
[G3 Accessories] crs77:
$50 I'll send you mine when I receive it.
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Didnt need to do that to get promo, but definetly gives insight to your character.. Shady shady shady.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
I know. I'm a horrible human being who tried to pull one over on a corporation that has millions. I sure showed them by getting approved for an accessory that was included with the phone in nearly every single market.

I feel horrible. Thanks for pointing that out. I hope you feel real great about yourself. I sure wish I could give you a pat on your back right now for opening my eyes. You are great.
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Its all good do what you feel you need to do. Seems like you should of opened your eyes from the beginning though and saw that you didnt need to "get over" on Lg. I guess thats your thought process though and how you solve your problems. Im sure you thought really hard and did all you could think of to do to make sure you got a battery you say you dont even need. I aint mad atcha. Only thing is I just followed the proper channels and still got mine approved.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
And this is what you, in your infinite wisdom, fail to understand. I didn't "need" to "get over" on LG. I saw a promotion that came two months after my purchase and thought, "Darn, I wish I would have had a chance for that," then thought, "I wonder if I can just change the date on my receipt." It's safe to assume that I couldn't send my original receipt when rules were clearly posted. I honestly didn't think that it would work (figured they'd check the IMEI number or something), but it's not like I had anything to lose, but only had a battery for my girlfriend to gain (still, I don't need it; I have my spares while my girlfriend has not).If they approved, cool. I get to give my girlfriend a spare battery for her phone. If not, whatever.

I know how to solve problems. This wasn't a problem. It was an experiment or an opportunity. Get off your high horse and get your too small panties out of the bunch that they're clearly in. You're just some geek on the internet trying to prove you're better than the next guy like every single other geek on the internet does. I've been there, too. I know the routine. You're not impressing anybody, but feel free to give yourself a pat on the back if that makes you feel better about yourself. I, on the other hand, am happy about my life and who I am, but the geek in me compels me to give you a minute more of my time with this pointless reply.

Or, unless you get off on attacking people online, continue, but I've said my piece and I'm done. My life is good. I know my character and I know who I am and that's not somebody who takes a lighthearted comment on the internet and makes it out to be something more than it is. Like you.

Quit bickering? You're proving nothing to no one and every reply makes me respect you less and care for your opinion even less so just drop it.

You won't, I know. You're going to reply back with some snarky comment like all of us geeks always do. I'd do it, too, if I was in your shoes. You're going to do it. You won't drop it. Prove me wrong. Prove you're the "better person."
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Wow how long did it take you to type that?
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
I type 70+ WPM. Not long.

That's all you got?

Give yourself a pat on the back buddy. You sure showed me.

Sorry if you don't have the attention span to read past one paragraph. I'll keep that in mind.
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Is that what you thought this was about, me showing you? No you showed all of us. Stop telling me to pat myself on the back Im not looking for recognition or self acheivement. Im a grown man and unfortunatly I have to be cautious with my retorts her on xda. Look just take your unneeded battery and go away young buc.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
This is me being the bigger man and walking away.
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
Lmao
[G3 Accessories] redeyss:
OK, as long as we're judging I'd like my judgment too! I bought a G3 from at&t and then submitted my info which got approved. Decided to return G3 but then bought another from swappa for $400 that was a few weeks old. Am I a terrible person too, oh please tell me wise internet!!!??!!!
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Yep..
[G3 Accessories] z0phi3l:
Took a week to get my confirmation email yesterday, hardest part of the whole process was finding a scanner
[G3 Accessories] big70tom:
Thank you for the offer bro. I really appreciate it. If I hadn't tried Amazon again, I would have taken you up on it.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, we got screwed, then not to offer it to the true followers who purchase the first few weeks, is chicken crap. Somehow though I don't blame LG, I blame Verizon and there greed.

sent from my LG G3 Rasputin, by far the BEST phone I've ever owned.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I took a picture with my G3 LOL
[G3 Accessories] southern87:
I was a early adopter and had no issues emailing them. Actually took longer because I emailed the blank back. So yall must be doing something wrong.
[G3 Accessories] IXChicharitoXI:
I sent an email and got a response in 10mins. Kudos to LG, they will be getting my money on future products for this. They could of easily of told us to go fist ourselves.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
The batteries are shipping
[G3 Accessories] pimfram:
Yep, got my email too. Seems like closer to the 4 weeks than 6, which is always nice.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
My tracking shows they shipped out a few days ago, I should have it tomorrow :D

MmMm Bacon...
[G3 Accessories] pimfram:
I was lazy and didn't click the link, but you're right. Mine says Tuesday but it's in the city so it might be here tomorrow. Nice.
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
To anyone that has received a shipping status - when did you submit your paperwork?

I've yet to get an email from LG although my rebate status shows "approved"...
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Once shipped it will change to paid :)

I submitted mine the day I started the thread!

MmMm Bacon...
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
I got the email this evening. Seems like they are doing it in batches and the first batch shipped out; because I got my approval letter significantly later than WinDroid. Checking the tracking, mine actually shipped out two days ago and is already in my city. :D
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
Thanks a bunch for the replies.

I didn't submit mine until the 20th so guess I'm just a bit lower on the list...
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
Mine says to keep an eye out for it and it should be here in 5 to 7 days. It doesn't say it shipped but that it is shipping.

Cool, battery life will be doubled basically! 10 sot!
[G3 Accessories] rickriego:
got confirmation sept 26th. emailed day before yesterday asking the status to which they promptly replied that "it takes 4-6 week's" to ship. wouldn't you know i woke up the next morning to the "shipping look for it in 5-7" email. nice
[G3 Accessories] crs77:
Getting mine tomorrow! woo hoo...not really that excited. I wouldn't have paid for this, but free stuff is good.
[G3 Accessories] Wickidmasshole:
I got the approval 9/23 and still haven't gotten any tracking info. I just emailed and asked if there were any updates
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
I just found out mine is coming tomorrow. The tracking was not working and then today it says it is in my town and will be delivered tomorrow.

Cool.

One of the main reasons I got this phone was the removable battery and I would have had to buy one so I'm very happy.
[G3 Accessories] sic0048:
Nice to see that people are getting shipping notices and some may even be delivered today! Neither my wife or I have gotten shipping notices, but hopefully it won't be too long of a wait!
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
Mine had issues and got approved on 9/23 so I'm sure we'll get it soon
[G3 Accessories] IXChicharitoXI:
I got approved this morning. Waiting on the tracking info now.
[G3 Accessories] jtemple42000:
I think I received my approval on 9/20. I received the shipping confirmation this morning.
[G3 Accessories] bhaskar1590:
i got mine today!
[G3 Accessories] JohnnyDanger:
Ive been a fan of LG products for some time. I'm so glad they decided to honor the free battery and charger for early adopters. Im waiting for my delivery confirmation email. Did get my approval email already.
[G3 Accessories] whodatfan:
Got mine today. Nice little compact charger. Love the smooth little locking feature when you insert the battery.
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
Me too. Cool!
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
Got mine as well. Seems simple but well made.
[G3 Accessories] dontremember:
How early is an "early adopter"?? I got my G3 two days before the free battery + charger were announced and I can't select that date in the online submission form. Did you mail it in?

Not that I'm annoyed or anything, just curious. I may yet get the freebies from someone at work who returned a G3 because he preferred some other phone.
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
Read this thread (especially the first pages), it details EXACTLY what you need to do to get your free charger and battery. I purchased a week before you and got mine in the mail today.
[G3 Accessories] JohnnyDanger:
I actually purchased the G3 on release date at T-Mobile. I did what the thread said and emailed LG. They responded pretty quickly telling me what to send and I did so. They responded and said my submission was accepted. I recommend you try it.
[G3 Accessories] SeanK_:
Anyone who got accepted on 9/23 got any shipping notification yet?
[G3 Accessories] dontremember:
Thanks, PedroDaGr8 and JohnnyDanger. I just put in my request for consideration.
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
Good luck!
[G3 Accessories] lexluthor:
Mine is still pending shipment, hope it ships soon. I'm traveling next Sunday and this would be great to have for my trip.
[G3 Accessories] dontremember:
... and I just got this response, same as many others:

Apparently LG is still open to extending the promotion!
[G3 Accessories] PlayYourPosition:
accepted on 9/30, still haven't received shipping confirmation
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
Mine was accepted 9/20.. Status moved to pending shipping
[G3 Accessories] markgm:
Got mine yesterday, came with the battery and charger. Not too bad for free!
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
I'm doing a little experiment with the new battery.

I just wanted to see if I would get better or worse battery life with a brand new battery and so far it looks to be less on the new battery. I do believe the batteries get better after a free cycles.
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
I got 2 of 3. Waiting for the 3rd one to arrive.

What's the going rate for these things? I need to buy diapers. Lol. I may end up getting rid of 2
[G3 Accessories] Bran415:
Just got mines in the mail the other day. For the folks who have been charging their battery on it. Does it have a sensor for when the battery is fully charged? I know that a full charge from empty it will turn green when its done. I just happen to bring it to work today and I just threw a fully charged battery but when I plugged the power the led has been red. Thanks in advance
[G3 Accessories] esimon311:
Mine came in yesterday..

First three are with no case the last one the case is on...

does anyone know if this battery and cradle can be purchased at all? through the lg website or something?
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
$50 :D hehe

MmMm Bacon...
[G3 Accessories] fullyflaredfred:
Can u send over a link? I can't find it anywhere
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
Both on Amazon
[G3 Accessories] lexluthor:
Mine now says shipped, but I never got an email.

Is there a way to get a tracking number so I can see where it is?
[G3 Accessories] fullyflaredfred:
I think the ones on Amazon are knock off and they don't come with a spare battery.

On another note I called customer service and they offered me the promotion even though I purchased my phone back in July!
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
Yeah. It's annoying that the UK website has tons of accessories not available in the US. Lots of slim guard cases, slim hard cases, and different colored back doors. Plus batteries, chargers etc. Very strange we don't get access. Can order online but it increases the cost. Like from expansys or Ebay seller fonejoy
[G3 Accessories] timjp692:
Just had the status of mine turn to void and submitted mine on 9/22, kinda pissed, Correction just realized it was submitted twice by accident and the first one I submitted says it was shipped
[G3 Accessories] tehdoughnut:
Status is now shipped! Purchased 07/18, approved 09/24.
[G3 Accessories] robertwhitten87:
How do you check the status? I haven't been able to find that option.
[G3 Accessories] tehdoughnut:

You will need the rebate ID they sent you after processing your rebate.
[G3 Accessories] robertwhitten87:
Awesome Thanks man
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
Mine also says shipped, but no tracking number or anything.

Sent from my VZW G3
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
So did I... I was like wtf
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
I didn't receive any confirmation.... does that mean you're getting 7 batteries and I'm getting none? :( :( :(

(just kidding ;) )
[G3 Accessories] hwong96:
ID 17*** approved for 2 batteries/chargers. Have not received shipping email yet. Maybe another week or so. Have patience grasshopper.
[G3 Accessories] Vidfreek:
Should be getting mine in today, got three sets since my family bought three phones :)
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
Came today, thought maybe I would receive two since I got multiple confirmations lol. Guess I wasn't the only one.

Charging now fits my spigen slim armor
[G3 Accessories] Ameya0909:
got mine today too :laugh:
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
Received mine today as well - two batteries & two chargers (I bought two phones).

Funny thing is I received my shipping confirmation email yesterday (Sunday).
[G3 Accessories] Illrigger:
Ditto - arrived today as scheduled. Very happy person here; I am going to flash back to a more stock config before long now that I don't have to worry about battery life. :)
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
I received mine today also. Funny thing is I waited so long for this stupid thing and now that I have it, its probably going to sit in my desk drawer for the next year.
[G3 Accessories] digitaldroid:
Awesome I got an email saying mine is in the mail and I should receive before end of week! Checked the tracking number and indeed its in the mail!! Registered Oct 3rd and got the shipping email today!
[G3 Accessories] BoostedKnight:
I got mine yesterday as well. Phone doesn't fit however with the Otterbox Symphony case like it seems to with some other slim cases. Still happy it was free!
[G3 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Got my shipping info today my number was in the fifteens..
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
Does that case fit in the charger/stand in portrait orientation?

My Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case doesn't fit in portrait - it's too thick. :(

Not complaining - I just hoped it would fit.

My wife uses hers without a case and it fits perfectly in portrait.
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
It fits in landscape only
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
That's what I thought - not a big deal to me anyway.

Thanks!

Mine will arrive today! Question to those that got theirs.. How big is the actual package? Like would it fit in an apartment sized mailbox or is it in a larger box?
[G3 Accessories] redeyss:
Came in a small white padded pouch, fit in my po box.

Speaking of the package. I got mine today and it was open. Luckily nothing fell out.

Thanks WinDroidGuy!
[G3 Accessories] bitpie:
What if i bought this phone 5 mins ago :D
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
I think the promo ends 10-31 but not like it will hurt anything to try after that.
[G3 Accessories] ElBeaner:
Got mine yesterday. Much faster than their 4-6 week estimate on the approval email.
[G3 Accessories] garcijua:
I feel like this promo helped LG but might've hurt them too.... It helped because it showed that they care about their customers by giving them a little something for buying their device. But hurt them because I don't think they expected to give out so many. Especially to the customers that didn't get it during the promotional period. But gave them it anyways.
[G3 Accessories] Rodeojones:
Perhaps, but outside of this community I don't know how widely publicized this promo was. In fact, if not for threads on here I never would have known about it, and definitely wouldn't have thought to inquire about participating since I got mine outside of the initial eligibility dates.

In any event, mine arrived yesterday.
[G3 Accessories] garcijua:
I'm not complaining. I'm glad they did something like this. I heard about the promo on Facebook. I liked LG 's page and they put up a picture announcing the promo. I got mine out of the eligibility window too.
[G3 Accessories] BOOMHAUER1123:
I agree. I found out about the promo here. I saw the commercial one time and never would have thought that I was eligable (bought day one). Kudos to LG for this. Recieved mine Friday just in time for the first AT&T roms to drop.
[G3 Accessories] digitaldroid:
i have my battery w/craddle and it works just fine! And like someone mentioned above it holds my phone with my slim armor case
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Everyone who got their battery should thank the OP ;D
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
I would but the op is a big pos.

Just joking.

Done! Twice! Thanks for the tip! :D

I submitted mine before teh end of the promotion, & got the confirmation email that said I'd get another email once it had shipped, but then forgot all about it until today.

Still never got a email saying it has shipped..
[G3 Accessories] robertwhitten87:
Yeah i'm still waiting on my shipping notice.

Submited 10/2 approved 10/7....

you can check status here http://www.lgg3promo.smsrebates.com/LGG3Promo/RebateTracking.aspx

I e-mailed asking for an update and they said it takes 4-6 weeks for delivery. So i'm only on week 5 from approval... so next week lets see if something happens.
[G3 Accessories] IXChicharitoXI:
Thank you LG and everyone in this thread for informing us about the promotion!
[G3 Accessories] valefour:
Personally, I would've liked the charger to not have the phone cradle slot on the side and just been that much thinner. Haha

Spare battery really comes in handy though. I can finally get through a day now.

That's when I see something like that promotion that I'm sad to live on the EU, haha
[G3 Accessories] jal3223:
For those that have received the battery and cradle. Does the light on the charging dock go off when the battery is full or does it just stay red? I just bought one of these from eBay and I'm making sure that it is legit. It seems like the battery charging light would go off when the battery is full right? Mine does not. Thanks for any input.
[G3 Accessories] bananachunks:
The light turns green (but stays on) when the battery is charged.
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
Here is a reddit thread about them accepting early adopters:

http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2g3lpn/free_battery_and_charger_promo_available_to_early/

I have sent in an email and will see how they respond. It includes a template email for you if you want ot use it.

It appears this is working and they are actually allowing early adopters. OP might want to update the threads first post and the title. So that more will know that they can get these for free.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Updated for others as well :)
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
I would leave out the part about sending the IMEI and stuff to that email address. That text is from a response email from LG and this response email also has an attached excel form that has to be filled out. At this point, you have to email them, they will respond back saying yes they will expand it to include you, please fill out the attached form and send the evidence and you will receive your battery and charger.
[G3 Accessories] theredspecial:
Now we wait for confirmations...post when you get an approval email from LG!
[G3 Accessories] PlayYourPosition:
filled out the online form and used the first promo date 9/8 as my purchase date.

emailed in saying I submitted but am an early adopter with my submission number, still waiting for an email confirmation

-edit- sent this in Wednesday, received the following email below.
