Congrats on new thread rclxms.gif
Just wanna share some info. I just bought a new battery from Hulala, a groupon like site. This is the 2nd purchase I have made and will boycott this website from now on. First time they sold a "phillips" powerbank claim its 20k mah but its lighter than my S1. Charged my S1 2 times and its dead. Returned it and went thru all the trouble as well as threatening to report to consumers association before they agreed to refund me not via giving me onsite credits.
PS: Phillips doesn't even sell such powerbank. Its china one with the word phillips printed on it and came with 32gb fake 32gb kingston pendrive and fake 64gb kingston micro sd.

This time they sold s4 battery and put there 100% original. According to them last time if its original, they will put a stamp on the picture to say its original. This battery comes with NFC(unlike the previous one I bought from shop which looks authentic as well as having the seals to say dont buy if seal is broken and hologram sticker saying samsung original. Bought using book voucher so I dont care about changing it) and battery lasts but according to Battery Monitor, it cant charge at 2A speed mad.gif . I do use NFC as I have NFC stickers ready for writing.

Package came as such. No Blue samsung sticker on it.

Nova battery tester stats. See 2nd from bottom for results.

Apart from advising people not to patronize this party, I am asking for opinion. What would you people do in situations like this? Thanks.

From the looks of the packaging itself, can know whether it is a legit product or not. Damn sites, should get them banned of the face of the earth already.

Pity you bro, better to buy in Lelong.my or here in Lowyat garage sales itself

Actually I don't quite trust lelong sellers either. I have better trust towards LYN sellers as I know they put more effort not to bluff as their reputation can be ruined very easily. I only buy china electronic products(eg: car lights) and certain very cheap off lelong as I know anything can settle exchange from seller. Bought a RM1 "perfume" powerbank off lelong. Battery was crap as it could only charge my s4 from about 4%-30% then died and when it died theres like some electric sound. After claiming refund from seller, I swapped the battery out to a samsung battery and it could charge from about 4% -8x% before dying. Now its quite handy for me.

CF-root is very noob friendly that first time users can even root without help.
