Seriously, I thought it was a photo of broken your skateboard deck.

Also bought a new battery for my Nexus 4, going to try and install it myself.

Let me know how well that goes. I need to buy and replace the screen on mine, wanna know how difficult it'll be to tear this thing apart and put it together.

This son of a bitch, which has an unhappy ending:



A Sentey Brio 5200mAh portable charger, I bought it to replace a larger-capacity charger whose size and heaviness was more cumbersome than I'd like. By comparison, I love the smaller dimensions and relative lightweight quality of this one.

The problem is that, either by defect or design oddity (male into-device plugs wobble significantly, and don't really lock-in), the thing does not charge things consistently. Sometimes, it'll do it fine. Other times, it takes a bit of finagling to begin charging. Other times, I can watch it charge something for a minute before disconnecting, then reconnect again. I've tried multiple charging cords, so I know it's the device.

Really annoying, because like I said, it's a well-sized portable battery that I bought and initially used with great excitement.

I bought this the other day and I love it.

The led coming on when it is shaken will only reduce the battery life by 1% for every 1000 hours or something crazy like that, so there is no worry. It's smaller than a glasses case and only weighs as much as a small paperback book. (these were my only concerns so that's why I brought it up.

I apologize if this link is a referral, I'm not sure how to fix that or turn it off or even check if it is.

EDIT: It also looks like it's the same size as the one you linked a photo of.

Yeah, I tried to do BRAT for about 12 hours before I caved and went to the doctor.

So I guess we can put an out-of-network urgent care visit as something else I have also purchased recently.
