Bionic and extended battery..

Let me tell you that it feels and looks good. Its not as bulky as others I've seen. Its like having my tbolt back but just a little less on the weight side. And the kick stand (which I rarely used lol)
Just thought id share this for people who is considering buying the Verizon extended battery.
Its worthed. Especially for the sale price.

Extended battery with the kickstand case is awesome and fits perfectly in the car dock with the case still on (just have to remove the insert). The Bolt was a heavier phone than the bionic and the bionic with the extended battery is about the same weight as the bolt. I will now see how long it lasts as its about an additional 1000 mah battery and for $20 bucks (50% off at verizon wireless on extended batteries) cant be beat!

For me, the extended battery makes the phone more balanced. With the standard battery the phone was top heavy and feel as if it would flip and slip out of my hand.
The icing on the cake is that the batter was half off.

You were ONLY amazed? I'd be freaking out if my phone lasted half that long. You must not use it much, lol.

I'm a little hesitant to grab this, I think the Bionic is pretty sexy as is, I don't really want to turn it into a tank. But if I find that the battery doesn't last long enough, I'll have to order one of these babies up.

i just went to the store they said it was 49.99 but after they actually check the stuff up and finish it. it applies the discounted prices of 24.99 so tax is 27 something. for some odd reason its not known by the employee and its sad we know more then they do.

I'm being completely honest. Next time I get that I will try and take a screen pic hopefully cause Im not rooted so not sure how. But anyways... I took my phone off the charger Sunday morning 8am and didn't put it back on the charger till late Monday night around 11pm with 10% battery left. I used it to text all day both days. Surf xda and pulse and a little on the browser. Bluetooth in my car both days. A few emails and a few phone calls. Pretty amazed.

Lapdock 100

I was considering buying the Lapdock 100 today from AT&T or Sprint, since Verizon doesn't have it yet.
Has anyone else done this? I heard it would work for the Bionic, but then their little ** said it may need a software update. If anyone has any insight, please let me know, its either that new lapdock for $250, or my friends selling me his regular bionic lapdock for $200...
Or I just go buy an Asus EEE Transformer or Galaxt Tab lol

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

i will bump this. picked up my lapdock 100 for 168 (work discount). The bionic DOES fit in the little slot, even with the extended battery, its very tight though. I can see one modding this by taking the rubber out so itll fit better. No pic because i dont have a cam besides my phone but i have reg pics. has built in speakers, and i hooked up a wireless logitech mouse to it. when i went in they tried to sell me the bionic specific one that cost 100 dollars more i think, but i said i wanted the 100 thats 200 bucks. they didnt know if it would work or not, but they unplugged the one on the sales floor and it started right up. Right now my only gripe is the mousepad feels a little flimsy, but that was easily solved with a wireless mouse.

I picked one up for my wife yesterday for her Bionic. This thing is awesome.
One thing I didn't realize is that it doesn't have a headphone jack. And having to sync a bluetooth headset quickly wasn't going to be good for answering a phone call privately. But I discovered that you can still plug in a headset into the Bionic's headset jack while it is connected to the lapdock and still be able to place the phone into the cradle in the back.
This thing just made my wife's Bionic that much cooler and useful.

I guess I spoke too soon. The trackpad or a usb mouse periodically stops working. I tried unplugging and even did a battery pull and still stops working after a little while.

I'm not having this problem, yet. been using since yesterday afternoon. I haven't had any phone calls since I've started using it...so I don't know if there are problems related with that...

I noticed that the problem occurs most often when I put the Bionic into the holder in the back. I don't know why that is though. This morning I had trouble with it but I just tried again and it worked but I didn't put the Bionic into the holder.
Hopefully the update will make it more compatible.

Maybe, if you can let me know if you have the same problem when you place the bionic into the rear holder. I'm not sure if the rubber part touching the screen has anything to do with it.

I picked up the Lapdock 100 yesterday. It's been working great and I haven't noticed any issues. I do get the unrecognized usb device icon at the top of the screen when nothing is plugged into the usb ports. When I plug something into the usb port it is recognized and runs as I would expect it.
Anyone know of any tweaks that can be done to webtop? I have absolutely no experience with linux so am a little hesitant to get started.

there are three that come to mind.

I have performed all of these hacks and it makes for a vary smooth running netbook

it does not have a headphone jack but you can still plug headphones into your phone and up in the corner of the lapdock you can switch the sound to the phone. the 100 is junk compaired to the bionic one. the 100 is all cheap plastic and the bionic one is aluminum and just looks so mutch better. i have the bionic one. the razr will also fit in that as well.

I was debating this too but honestly I think I'm gonna go for the Transformer Prime, because I need a new laptop but I can't afford to buy more than one extra item right now in that price range, and now that there is at least a simple IDE for coding Java made for tablets, I have no reason to get a new laptop when i can put the keyboard on the prime. I'd love the lapdock because I wouldn't have to pay extra for monthly data but in my case I just need something closer to an actual computer and I think the prime might cover that a little more than the lapdock. IDK i've never used the lapdock.

Nice pictures Cool_story_bro, I was wondering if you tried plugging in an external HD to one of those USB ports.
Thanks!

I purchased one of the 100 docks from a Verizon Wireless store yesterday. I was forced to pay the full 199.99 price, as I was told that my corporate discount could not be used with this device. (Bummer) So far it has met or exceeded all of my expectations. I have ran into the low memory error when I had too many firefox tabs open, but overall I am impressed. I love the fact that it will basically replace my need for a netbook. With some productive Android apps, as well as some nice web apps bookmarked, I am ready to give this thing a true run. BTW, I am posting this response using the dock and it's keyboard.
Edit: Recent Bionic OTA has practically done away with low memory error.

I had mine a week when it started doing the same. I noticed that if I put the phone in the slot in the back it would happen. If I left the phone on the table connected everything was fine. I now use a sticky jelly pad and lay the bionic flat over the slot. (just a little paranoid about it breaking again)

Damn my life.

i am going to assume that i dropped it sometime in the morning and when i checked at night it was like this( dont ask me how it happened, i had no idea until like 10 minutes ago)
1) i assume normal warranty from ASUS will not cover this, correct?
2) i assume i will have to send it in to ASUS for repairs, right?
3) can anybody get me a legit email or number i can contact ASUS? (USA)
4) damn, life sucks.
it's funny because technically my screen is still 100% perfect, no physical scratch at all. i keep telling myself i might be able to fix it myself somehow if i open up the case, but until a professional comes in and tells me otherwise....
i sent out a couple emails to whom it might concern, otherwise my other options are -> try to get a hold of asus so i can start the repair process or......... buy a new one, maybe an 8GB?
on a side note, what is currently the cheapest place i can buy a nexus 7 these days? [USA]

it sucks because Asus won't quote you an repair price until they actually have their hands on it. which means I have to waste shipping fees and my own time when I might have an option to get a brand new 8gb sonewhere. I read that Asus charges anywhere from 100-180.... yikes

Probably won't help at this point, but you can get 3rd party warranties that include accidental damage coverage. I got one from Squaretrade for $35 for 2 years. Hoping to never use it, but just cracked my phone screen last week and considering sending it in (phones have a $50 deductable so I'm not sure it's worth it... until it gets dropped in the toilet...).

Why did Verizon choose to disable Wireless Charging capability?

We all know that Verizon has made some pretty asinine decisons over the years, especially in regards to eliminating certain funtionality and features on their phones.... but for the life of me I cannot figure out why they would choose to essentially "cover up" the wireless charging capabilities of this great phone!
Do they actually NOT want to make a boatload of ca$h on special NFC/wireless charging battery covers and charging mats???!!!
There is no rationale behind this that I can think of whatsoever!
In case anyone wants to know the reason for my frustration... the Verizon version of the Note II has an inner cover that covers the wireless charging contacts (the inner cover is what is exposed when the battery cover is removed). The AT&T version has fully functional wireless charging capability out of the box...minus the battery cover & charging mat.
This problem can be remedied with a little tinkerinh which involves removing this inner cover, but the sad thing is that none of this extra work should even be necessary. Plus... wouldn't it have actually been more cost effective for Samsung & the carriers to use the same components wherever possible? This was an unnecessary variance from what should hve been the standard.
Just pretty crappy that this flagship device is missing this wireless charging feature that continues to grow in popularity industry wide.
...Maybe Verizon is counting on the micro-USB port life expectancy being just about when the warranty is expired so they can make their money on people needing new phones before they're due for an upgrade!
Sorry guys... had to vent. I definitely have a Love-Hate relationship with VZW!

I was actually in the store to hear first hand why. A customer coming from an iphone (he announced) was interested in the Note 2. His friend had the ATT version and he was excited to have a phone that could do wireless charging.
customer: I want to get the note 2, does it come with the wireless charging accessories or do I have to buy them separate?
verizon salesguy: The Note 2 doesn't have wireless charging built in, but the New Droid DNA does, let me show you.
customer: okay!
word for word. So frustrating to see their evil BS work. They make money licensing the "DROID" name so they make more money from droid phones. Horse droppings.

To be fair doesn't it take about a decade to charge the note 2 wirelessly?
I don't like using 1a chargers on mine because they take so much longer than the stock one and as far as I know wireless charging supplies even less than that.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I never thought about the Droid DNA being a possible reason for them to intentionally disable this feature, but knowing how VZW likes to promote the Droid line as the preferred choice, that does make sense.
I agree that wireless charging a 3100mAh battery will take a lot longer. I would think most people would use it as a bedside charger while they're sleeping, or at work, if they have an office job.
It would be very convenient to not have to fumble with a micro USB connector, especially when lighting is poor, or when you're picking your phone up every several minutes while at work.

I use wireless charging with my AT&T N2 and it charges from 40% in a couple hours.. I only charge at night when im sleeping though so as long as it charges within 6 hours I could care less.. and I wake up at the 4 hour mark and its at 100% so its fast enough for me... and slower charging is actually better for the battery. I understand if you needed a quick pick me up why it wouldnt be good.. but im a HEAVY user and with the N2 and its massive battery, ive never needed to charge it during the day... so for my needs, its perfect.

At the verizon I went to my rep tried the same thing on me. I went in specifically for the n2. He asked me if I had seen the dna, I said I heard of it and saw a couple of reviews on it. He asked if I wouod be interested in that instead. I said does it have a 3100mah battery, a stylus, removable battery or a micro sd slot... he said no. I said might as well get an iphone5 if thats the case. I came in for the n2 and only the n2.... couldnt be happier...... fyi. I finally convinced my wife to ditch her icrap5 and take over my s3

Well that explains the extra time until they released it. I wonder if the contacts are still there under the plastic?
Also, why don't they put wireless chargers in dash mounts?? Seems like a no brainier there.

There are a couple youtube videos showing what needs to be done to re-enable the wireless charging. The contacts are definitely there under the freaking plastic cover. They do not appear to be "raised" contacts like on the AT&T version or the Galaxy S3, but they are indeed there.

Sprint version does not have it either.
Maybe the cdma versions were built in the same place

If I'm not mistaking the one on the left is the International version and I believe the round connector might be for the radio.

You can actually do 2 things.
1) Buy the housing from the ATT/International version and replace the VZW one with extreme ease, and then you can solder on contacts and make yourself a Qi compatible back cover.
2) Just get some copper tape (I think is what he used) and then get the Palm Touchstone or whatever and the Palm door and do the same minus replacing the housing.

Just an idea, but do you think it's possible to drill a couple of precise holes through the thin plastic inner cover to gain access to the contacts directly underneath? And then drop in some spring pins?

Yes if you do it really careful and do not damage the circuit beneath. ..there is a video on YouTube showing that it does work. .

ok first of all vzw reps do not sell the dna over the note2 because they get paid more and vzw hasnt asked them to offer the note2 over the dna, what most likely happened is a biased opinion of a rep, a lot of reps in my store for some reason like the dna more, there are reasons its better but but there also reasons its not, and on the issue of the charging who knows why vzw didnt include it, but the s3 wireless charging took a while to come out too, just be interesting how they do it though since pins are covered.

Not having access to the wireless charging prongs really REALLY angered me when I took the back cover off my brand new Note 2. After seeing the international version, I was all excited to implement magnetic charging. I was shocked and angered when I didn't see the prongs!! Will have to decide if I want to crack the phone open and figure out an alternative solution....the frustration!

ok first of all vzw reps do not sell the dna over the note2 because they get paid more and vzw hasnt asked them to offer the note2 over the dna, what most likely happened is a biased opinion of a rep, a lot of reps in my store for some reason like the dna more, there are reasons its better but but there also reasons its not, and on the issue of the charging who knows why vzw didnt include it, but the s3 wireless charging took a while to come out too, just be interesting how they do it though since pins are covered.

[Q] N4 Wireless Charging Pins Same as N3?

I was just wondering whether the wireless charging receivers for the Note 3 can be used for the Note 4. Does anybody know?

No... They aren't the same - unfortunately

It took a little digging, but I finally found it! Ready for pre-order here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFKS4WM
Mind you, there is a warning that it may interfere with NFC and S-View functions of the Note 4!

Of course not. Do you honestly think for one second that Sammy, or any manufacturer, would let you use the same accessories without buying new ones? Lol [emoji12]

Output is just 600mA... That's a piece of crap and really expensive... I always get 1000mA pads for $8-$12 on ebay... (usually are blue too, but with 1000mA... Honestly... Done it Already for the Note 2 & 3... Still waiting this year for them to show up on ebay...As soon as I see them, will post link... Promess... Don't buy those...
Here is a spare one I have as proof...

Too bad stock limits charging to 460mA. With cm or different kernel can bump that up to about 700mA. I wish the phones could go up to 1000mA when wirelessly charging.

Well, I guess it was wishful thinking.

I was joking when I said that. Didn't mean to sound like a jerk. Just so you know. [emoji2]

Hmmm, if what you are saying is correct, then except for price I didn't do so bad! I'm not sure if I will be flashing any custom ROMs or kernels, but it is something to consider just to get wireless charging a little faster. Why is there a limit, is it due to safety issues?

Actually there was a Kernel for the Note 2 that was modified to 850mA... Anyway... That's a really good question about the limit... Also, if you get the 1000mA pad you also have to make sure that the charging station also gets to at least 1000mA... (almost all of the cheap ones on Ebay also go up to 1000mA) But that's something to consider... In case you get the 1000mA receiver pad but your station is just 700mA...
Also @RaymondPJR...
If you got it thru amazon, you can just cancel order... Go to my orders on Amazon and you will se a Cancel button... Specifically on orders that will not ship until later... (credit card is also not charged until shipment) Just a hint that you probably already know... in case you really want to cancel...
I am 100% sure the pads I am talking about will show up really soon on ebay. I am a huge fan of wireless charging... Lol

Back in the day I did my own Wireless charging mod for my S3 and bought a receiver pad from Verizon. It was for one of the Lumias, I think. It shouldn't be too hard to find out what it's limit is, although I suspect it would be at the lower level. I think I'll just keep the order, however, I don't mind what Ive paid for it.

You know how Sammy is. The phones accessories aren't compatible with each other (For money of course). The batteries are all different shapes and sizes so that no battery can be used on another Galaxy phone.
So no, they aren't compatible.

I'm having a change of heart since I saw a totally round Qi charging puck for only $22.00! It's beautiful although I haven't looked up it's specs yet. If development were moving faster it would be easy. Here's to a successful custom recovery real soon !!!

1000mA $9.68, already ordered one...

So, it wouldn't matter if my charging puck is only 750mA; I can use this one and get a max of 750mA? What are the shipping time and charges for this?
EDIT: What...free shipping? How long?
