Moto Z Offgrid Battery

i have the tumi wireless that works great but is real heavy
how is the incipio ?

Tumi one is also made by incipio itself. Guys anyone knows if one of them is lighter or slimmer?

I have had the impression that Incipio should be lighter and a bit slimmer... but take it as what is: an impression.

The version without wireless charging should be a bit more lighter...

Just got this battery mod today. Already getting close to 6 hours screen on time with my setup and usage style, so I'm excited to see what I get with the pack now.

Also, I have big hands, and the phone feels better in my hand with the mod on. I'm not near as worried about dropping it now. I've always had Otterbox type cases, so the bulk in preferred. Though it's not that bulky really. At least to me.

Very pleased so far. And haven't even tested battery longevity yet. Lol

Edit: For my usage and setup, I was getting 6 hours screen on time on my Z, and with the battery mod, I get 9 to 9.5 now. Very pleased!

question about led

People,

All of you get a very little bright LED between the speaker and frontal camera LED when the incipio mod is plugged in? When the mod is removed the light goes out.

Not using stock rom? Some ROMs enable a led for notifications, chargelight and stuff. Search for ”light" in settings and you should see everything related to light.
The light in it self can disturb the auto brightness function of the screen. Since its not enabled in stock rom it's probably there for testing and should not be used.

Thx for the quicky answer, Swejuggalo.
I bought a Moto Z with battery and sound mods, tested a few (still using my "old" S7 Edge) and flashed Crdroid from Vache. I didn't take notice about this notification LED at stock rom, when I first plugged incipio battery mod after Crdroid I saw it.

The LED is not used on stock ROM.

You can disable it in ROM settings. It is enable when mod is connected cause OS thinks it's a charging source, like your power adapter.

You are better of with that led disabled since it can disturb screen auto brightness function.

Would be super annoying to me to have a light going on and off.

Definitely no light on mine, on Stock N.

I hate auto screen brightness function, it's waaaaaaay better to swype my finger along the statusbar to adapt (at least in Crdroid from Vache I have this....)
This little LED is really low brightness? It doesn't bother me even in total darkness.

Can I configure this LED for notifications too? Like whatsapp, facebook, etc?

noooooo! I don't wanna disable this LED, I wanna for notifications, not only for charging. Do you have any suggestions?

Has the Incipio Offgrid Wireless-Mod been discontinued? There's no way to find it in Germany or import it, even on ebay.com you can only find the white version, black is sold out everywhere. So frustrating.

It's a bit pricey, but it's available at Amazon...

On Amazon.ca, I could only get the non-wireless charging black version. Still love it though! :good:

Yeah, but the status hasn't changed since weeks. Not sure they will be able to ship it at all.

I've ordered it, so I'll tell you in 1 month or so if it arrives

Just got the regular Z with the mod. Do you leave yours on all the time? And when do you charge?
Kind of a bummer that it only charges with the phone on. Plus it charges so slowly​

Hey, do you have the link ?

Battery mods

Have you had any issues with your Incipio battery mod? Is it still holding the insanely long charging time you stated? I have my Moto Z coming Thursday and I am trying to decide which all to buy. I will surely get one of these. Do you still use yours? If not, perhaps sell it to me, via Swappa? Just throw it in the boneyard and shoot me a link and we'll work out a good fair price.

As for Tempered glass screens, do you happen to have any you'd recommend? I, like everyone out there, prefers a full or as close to full screen coverage as possible. Depending upon my previous devices, different brands are better than others. Thought maybe you could offer some insight.

Thanks!

I don't use the Incipio battery every day, because I like the thin phone by itself, in a clear TPU case. But any time I am going out with family or friends on a day trip, I will use the Incipio battery so I don't have to worry about charging. So, it doesn't last 4 times as long, but certainly goes all day easily when using the 80% setting.

I also have the Tumi battery mod with wireless charging. It looks almost the same as the Incipio, but has a slick surface rather than the soft touch of the Incipio (which I prefer). I don't use it very much. I would be happy to sell you that one. The advantage of it is that you can charge it on a QI pad separate from the phone.

I use mine almost daily. I watch Netflix and stuff too, so I make sure the phone and battery are both charged at some point during the day, to be prepared, since I can't charge and plug in headphones, which I generally use.

Or I charge over night. Usually I leave the fully charged incipio off until I need it. (turbo charging the phone to 100% before putting the pack on.) And use a case with holster when the mod is off. With the mod, I put the oem bumper on. Otherwise I get a lot of screen presses by my hand reaching to type. Need those raised edges always, for me.

Love the pack, without it I get 5 to 6 hours SoT, with my usage and setup, with it I get 8 or 9ish.

Definitely money well spent anyway. :good:

Okay so finally after a month and a half, Amazon didn't deliver - they were unable to give a new shipment date. As I was looking on eBay listings (for the regular one without the wireless charging) I checked one more time what is the current price on Amazon and to my surprise I saw an for the one with wireless charging showing as currently in stock (only 2 items ). Needles to say I cancelled my older order and put a new one. Today it arrived guess I was really lucky!

That remains to be seen, as at the moment the mod is a bit finicky - I'm charging with the turbo power adapter. If I leave the phone to itself, it starts after some time to rapidly disconnect and connect the mod by itself, until in the end it totally disconnects it. However if I'm using the phone as at the moment (so far) it seems to behave properly ... To be investigated
