Edit: the title is a bit inaccurate, but it is related to the installation of the EB40 battery
I have found some helpful guides on the forum about the Atrix HD and using the EB40 from the Razr MAXX to extend battery life.
I just have a few questions, that werent really clear to me
-I found a few EB40 batteries on eBay. Which is the best to use, I found a 4000mAh (though the price of $24 seems a bit shady to me) and a ton of 3200/3300mAh batteries. I would imagine the higher mAH value would be better, is this true? Are they even legit, because I didn't see a whole lot, just the one from eBay (which like I said, had me skeptical).
-How do I "cleanly" make room for the EB40 battery? I want to be very careful with the dvice, and when I learned I had to cut some parts of the plastic, I got nervous. Can anyone give any good advice on how to do this properly as to not cause any permanent damage? I'm really nervous about the whole process really
ANY help is appreciated, thanks
First of all original razr maxx battery is 3200mAh not 4000mAh. I don't think that batteries are better than maxx's , but you can try if you want. You won't need to cut anything. I never did and used without any problems

I went with the original OEM 3200mAh Maxx battery
And thanks a lot for the reply. I haven't gotten my Atrix HD in the mail or the battery yet, but I was under the impression you had to alter the plastic in order to get the battery to fit. This is a relief though, thanks again
You could if you want I know did, because I didn't want to separate frame from housing so I could use the speaker

Installing EB40 is really easy to noobs.
First: go 2 youtube and type "motorola atrix HD disassembly" or google simply manual
Motorola-Atrix-HD-MB886-Disassemble-Guide.pdf
al you need is T5 torx screwdriver and plastic opening tool (or old sim or credit card with sharped corner)
Before disassembly heat backside by hair dryer, because there are a small adhesive patch inside.
carefully work around the perimeter of the phone.
After that unscrew 10 T5 screws and two screws battery tab, be carefull do not short circuit them both.
Take off rear chassis replace stock battery with EB40 and fit chassis back.
You will see that top side isn't sit well, just cut 1/3" with sharp knife and assembly all into reverse steps.
I'm done that with my MOTO Atrix HD, really easy, and got twin battery life
P.S.
Don't be foolish by chinese or some another 3rd party vendors that says 4000 or more mAh capacity. Try to find on eBay or amazon genuine EB40 battery or buy broken RAZR MAXX and pull out it from that donor
VASY WATERPROOF CASE
i've been looking all over the internet for a review of this product, but i havent found a single one (maybe on korean but i dont understand a single word)..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smYA17JvcL4
i took the risk and got it from ebay vendor in korea... havent got it yet but it is in transit.
if someone has this case would you let me know your opinion please?
heres a page where they give a lot of specifications but it is all korean lol:
http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/English/detailview/item.aspx?goodscode=554953718
:good::good::good:
I don't know about that but I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-Water-Skin-Cover-Case-Pouch-lsr-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-GT-N7100-FA-/130936653879?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item1e7c6ec837
It's cool and slim. I never used it on water and can't say if it is waterproof but from dust is good. The only problem is that when you call or someone call you the person you are talking doesn't hear nothing.
case arrived from Korea
overall the quality of the case looks good, waterproof tested for an hour into 2 meters of depth in water, the case did really sealed my phone and i like
the fact that it is water proof, snow proof, shock proof, dirt proof...
The sound of the phone is reduced by 15-20% (in my opinion) while playing music but still PLENTY loud enough to listen to your music or notifications on an open area
The Quality of the CALL is super!!! unlike any other waterproof case for the Galaxy Note 2 that you hear complaints of echoeing and that people cant understand what are you speaking....
and finally the case added at most 3/4 of an inch to the device which makes it pretty slim
I dont bath with my phone
Its not waterproof, but if anyone is interested in an otterbox defender case (like new, in box, put it on for 20 minutes, didn't like) for, I don't know, $10 pm me. Can send pics,

heres the link where i got it from ebay...
That link says its universal for galaxy and iPhone devices.
Can you explain how it can work with different sizes? Also the picture is of galaxy s4 ... not note 2.. so just want to ensure that it will work with note 2

Has anyone added a wireless sticker to their leather battery cover? If so do you notice any issues with the leather and the heat from the charging?
I ask because I had a G3 and the back cover has melted ever so slightly from the wireless charging.
Just fitted mine this morning.
Fitted one from aliexpress. Using black leather back and orzly thin case and charges fine
This is fantastic news. How long did it take for you to receive the sticker?
We did you buy it?

I ordered it a few weeks ago. Easy to fit. Just need to line up the pins.

I'm new to this so bare with me...
do you have to scrap off the old existing NFC chip then put the sticker on? or can you just stick it on top of what's there already?
Just as you described.
He mentioned two methods. Which one are you saying just as described to? I've never done this but I'd be surprised if people were okay with removing NFC anything so I expect that you just stick it on.
When I used this on my LG G3 I had to remove the existing NFC sticker and replace it with the QI/NFC sticker. I'm assuming we will have to do the same on the G4. I have a QI sticker on order and can confirm once it arrives.
Remove the old nfc sticker and replace with new one

I got those. Mine must have been defective because I tried for an hour to line up those pins and nothing worked. Contacted the seller for a refund.
Edit... Contacts weren't touching. Put tape underneath charging connectors and now it works.
Got mine today... I have leather back and all is working well. Had to add tape to qi pins to Raise them up.
Just take your time. I used scotch tape to get it lined up at first then once I got it right I used the built in adhesive.
Awesome deal here! Grab the G4 tempered glass for $6.99 and the case for $12.99 and you have a final price of $7.64 shipped to your door 2nd day Air, if you have Amazon prime! Great deal because I just paid $8.50 for just the Qi sticker alone! And that won't be here for another 2 weeks probably... Keep in mind what you are getting with this deal too! If you want to wirelessly charge your phone than you can take the sticker out of this case and put it in your own case if you don't like the one they send you...

Sorry man it sold out very quick and I posted it in like 3 sections and the links worked for awhile then screwed up again. It was a great deal but I'm pretty sure you at least can find a Qi sticker there if that's what is needed. Amazon has those from US sellers now which makes it a lot quicker than from alienexpress where I got my other one from.
Late to the party. Ugh

Does the addition of wireless charging make the back cover bulge at all? I'm just concerned because this was a big problem on my old galaxy s4

I had the same problem on the s4. There is no bulge on the g4 with the sticker installed.

This thread is dedicated to discuss options for battery replacement of our Mi 8, which is BM3E model, 3300/3400mAh.
You can get a original copy, a Nohon or Lehehe on Aliexpress. The most popular seems to be the Nohon, though the Lehehe is reported to have more capacity (4.000mAh, though in practice somewhat less). The original battery is sometimes found.
Original battery for 8.79$ on Witrigs
Lehehe 4.000MAh on Aliexpress for 14,50€
Lehehe 3.400mAh on Aliexpress for 13,32€
Nohon 3.400mAh on Aliexpress for 15,84€
Nohon 3.400mAh on Aliexpress for 21€
That looks pretty interesting
Does it fit inside the MI8?

They should, sice they're listed as Mi 8 compatible, and according to the pictures they appear the same size.
According to a video to change the battery, the connector of the 4000 battery is shorter, I do not know if it will work

True, unless you flipped it over, but still it doesn't seem to fit or be the same connector.
Curious, because all four different links must be wrong then.
This is very interesting... Nobody tried yet?
the battery size are not the same
and also dont trust any battery with same size but claim have higher capacity, energy density is a constant, 3400 maybe possible, 4000mah is not.
