I just ordered this with the 50% off coupon:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
To me, it seemed like a no-brainer: a portrait/landscape stand with a spare battery charger built in PLUS it comes with a spare battery for the SAME PRICE as a replacement battery. I've always liked having a desktop dock so i can easily use my phone as an alarm clock, but with the usb on the bottom of this phone, it'd mean that the dock will be in portrait mode. Although i'll need to manually connect the USB to charge the phone while it's on the stand, i'll be able to have it in landscape mode while charging, plus i can use the same USB to either charge the phone or the spare battery.
Can anyone think of any drawbacks of this? I was eyeing the smart-dock, but (besides being out of stock), it lists at $100, so even with the 50% off, it's still expensive and only works in portrait. (I'm going to pick up the MHL 7 to 11 pin adapter so that i can use my old MHL with this phone for HDMI instead, so i see no need for the more expensive dock.)
Has anyone seen/bought one of these or had one for a different phone?

I also jumped in on this deal for the 50% off price and having an extra battery to rotate.
I really want that multimedia dock though... :angel:

50% off? Do you have a special or is it usually $100 for that battery and charging stand?
I got a 50% off coupon code when i registered my phone, but i think there's also another 50% off deal floating around out there:

Charge stand is $49.99 but with 50% off is $24.99, as stated there is a code floating around these forums, or register your phone.
The multimedia stand is $99 but is not in stock yet.
Perfect!! Just what I was looking for... rather than carrying a car charging kit when I travel it is much easier for me to keep an extra charged battery I can pop if it gets low.
But with 6 hours screen time, I don't think that will happen very often!
And now its gone...I have to keep an eye on this because its an awesome deal.

If the dock actually charges the phone while it's docked, it would have been amazing. Otherwise, it's an okay deal for a battery and charger.
You can get the OEM charger dock without the battery on ebay for about $10 bucks

It only charges the spare extra battery.
It does not charge the battery within the phone when it's dock.
Have one for my S3 ....use it all the time!! Going to order one now for N2 per your email.
Thanks..

I have one for my original galaxy note, however I'm not sure if I should spend the money on this since the battery is so massive in this phone I haven't been able to kill it in almost a week now. Having an extra battery that I would almost never use is kind of a waste isn't it?

You maybe right. Most of us will still have charge left after 12 hours of pretty use. Since the phone is new, I've been using it a lot, configuring, testing, etc. Yet at the end of the day, I am still staring at 40%. But for $25, which include A/C charger, battery charger/holder, and the included battery, it is a hard deal to pass up. It will come in handy on a long day at the amusement park.

I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean my phone has lasted all week long on a single charge haha. I mean every day I'm going to sleep (long 17 hour days) and the phone is still on 20-40 percent depending on how badly I abuse it. The only day I killed it to 0% was the first day I got it because my battery came charged to about 55%
Ever notice looking on ebay for extra batteries look at the supposedly oem samsung battery..Many pictures don't have the watermark sticker on them....It should have them on the top ..opposite side where the pins are. anyone else notice that?
I did the mistake of purchasing a fast charger for my car (2000ma).
Now, don't get me wrong, the fast charger works great and charge the phone as fast as the original charger at home. The problem is that when you fast charge, and use other battery intensive applications (like WAZE), the device will become very hot. Such high temperature will shorten the battery lifespan (and as you remember, we can't replace batteries with the G2, so we better take care of it).
I find that with my 500ma car charger, this is about the drain that is being sucked up by GPS navigation, so while you won't charge up the phone, you won't lose battery either, and it won't get hot.
I'm sticking with a slow charger for the car (simply because the phone is active most of the time it is being charged in the car, in contrast to home), and so should you if battery health is important for you.
We can replace them just not easily swap them.

I saw the video of dismantling the LG2's back cover to replace battery. Most people will break their phone while trying to remove the back cover. Moreover, those who have 2 years warranty and like to keep the phone 2 years, will lose warranty if they try to replace the battery themselves (and through the manufacturer, replacing the battery will cost a small fortune).

I was told every 12 months.
It's 6 months+ if half the phone is paid for, otherwise a year. Still a rip off considering 20$ is subsidized in your bill no matter.
Thankfully the battery is so good I have absolutely no need to charge in the car.

Yeah, it's a rip off. If you stay with the G2 for 2 years you are paying $400+ in the edge charge alone. I'm not paying for it so I'm not complaining.

I heard the coupon are now not 50% off when you get a new phone for the accessories.
As nice as the fast charging wireless charging sounds there's no way I'm spending 70 dollars on a charger. I'll wait until 3rd party ones are released for a decent price then maybe go for it then.

They have coupon codes for 50% off? I saw someone else post above that they're not 50% off anymore, but 50% off of that price I'd buy one!
they used to be 50% off. that's what I used to use during my note 2, 3, and note edge time. I just registered my note 5 and the coupon is 30% off now.

It's $70 dollars dude. Get a slow charger (that probably is easier on the battery anyway). Use the fast charger somewhere you are likely to need to give it a quick charge like out in the kitchen or something.

I am wondering how many spare batteries do you need for LG G4. Just found out that MPJ released battery for G4 and I am trying to decide whether to go ahead and order my third one.

I have two spares but I rarely use it unless im not anywhere I can charge my phone including at night.
I carry one spare OEM battery for my LG G4.
I don't find myself having to swap out very often, but I know it's always there in case Murphy shows up, which he does once in awhile.
I've carried one spare battery with any phone I've had over the years.
Ultimately, how many spares if any you carry, depends on your usage & comfort level.

I purchased an LG G4 OEM battery on eBay from this seller approx. 1 month ago:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=201384473911&alt=web
I've been very satisfied with this battery and my communications with the seller. There were two manufacturing dates available from which I was able to choose from.
I've purchased several OEM batteries on eBay from various sellers for various phones over the years. You have to research the seller, descriptions, etc. carefully when purchasing OEM batteries on eBay, as there are many counterfeit batteries out there.
How has battery life been for your G4? My battery life was okay but I’ve ordered a replacement battery for my G4 and will let you guys know where I like/hateit.
Hmm... I don't have a spare battery. I have a power pack that I use sometimes. But, honestly, my G4 lasts all day unless I'm off Wifi and using data ALL day.
None
I have three batteries total, two spare. I never need all three unless I'm lazy and don't charge the second one. I rarely even need one spare, only when I'm using my phone a lot or doing a lot of tweaking to it.. With amplify, greenify, and other small location tweaks, I get about 16-18 hrs of use with about 2.5-4 hrs sot depending. I also have to use gps/google maps for work so that's why I get less sot on those days.
I don't carry any spare batteries. Never have with any of my phones.

I've been trying to get rid of the battery, charger and 32gb sd card from the promo for months. They are all still in the original shipping package. I ask that whoever wants it pay shipping at the very least. If you want to kick a few bucks in thats great too. I don't have the phone anymore, returned it during buyers remorse but it sucks having these things sitting here when someone can use them.

Anyone know which aftermarket standard size battery is the best? I've seen hyperion which is decent brand and I've never heard of trend on. I bought anker for my note 3 and was really happy with them. Can any one point me in the right direction?
I have 1 spare original battery, but hardly use it
I have a spare with charger, but I haven't really needed it much. I usually only need extra power while traveling, but even then, between the reasonably fast charging and a 3200mA Anker power pack that I occasionally break out, I haven't needed to power down to swap.
I have one original battery and 3 trend on replacement batteries bought from amazon. I travel a lot and love taking a ton of pictures with this amazing camera when I am. I noticed that my original oem battery last a bit longer than my trend on batteries do, but not by much. with that said I usually go through all three batteries by 11pm-12am starting my day off around 7 or 8am having to use my 4th and last battery if need be to last for another 3-4 hours of moderate use until we get back to the hotel. and constant, heavy use GPS navigation web searches, hundreds of pictures and HD video recording. Loving everything about this phone.
I got my g4 gently used and it came with two standard batteries PLUS a free mugen 6200. The mugen is awesome gets at least 11hrs screen time.

They are indeed fast chargers. I bought the BOGO fast wireless charger and a fast wireless charging stand for $105.82 after taxes and 30% discount. Good deal for genuine charges that come with fast wall chargers as well. Also, avoided shipping by spending >$50.

You can get the same promo on fast wireless chargers. IMO two fast wireless chargers for $52 is a much better deal.
I didn't find the bogo deal for the fast chargers until after I bought the regular ones. Also the 30% off coupon supposedly doesn't work for anything over $49.99.

Dang it! It looks like they don't have the fast chargers as part of the promo anymore either. I can't find them on the site.
OH well, i plan on using it to charge overnight on my night stand anyway so it doesn't need to be fast. If i need fast charge i'll just plug it in.
I have the fast charge pad and it's awesome (not the stand one).
Anyone else notice the different animations you get when you plug in at the bottom or place on the round wireless charger? Plug in at bottom you get a little animation of electricity flowing up briefly. Place on the wireless you get a similar thing but it's a circular animation from center outwards.

They both were showing they were valid until 3/19. I have a feeling the fast charge probably ran out of stock since they still have them, but link you to buy them elsewhere online or in store.
The wireless chargers are back ordered, I originally pre ordered one before I got the phone. And they sent me a email saying it was back ordered then I went ahead and did this deal also since my wife needed one. And the same a day later got a back ordered email.

I missed out on the deal too thinking a had a couple days left to order it. In my ignorance, I didn't think they would sell out so quickly. I spoke to Samsung via live chat and they tried to tell me the promo ended on 3/17. However, I explained that I saw it said 3/19 and she asked me to call customer service to see if they could help me out. I sat on hold for 58 minutes before finally hanging up to go to a meeting at work. Now I'm wondering if it's worth grabbing two of the non-fast chargers for $35 after 30% coupon before the sale ends today. However, the reviews of this non-fast pad make it seem unreliable. I currently use my old Samsung S4 wireless pad now when I sleep with no issues.
