Metrans wireless charger from taobao, but you can get the Google one as well, works better with them magnets for my usage scenario.

Wireless charger considered battery? If it is then it can't be shipped right?

There are wireless charger with/without battery built in. Even if it contains battery why it can't be shipped? They can be shipped, as proven by many people who have shipped N5 and other electronic devices with battery attached from overseas. However, it is true that not all postal/courier services in all countries will ship your items with battery, e.g., DHL in AU refused to ship N5, while FedEx gladly ships them.

Thanks for clarification. I was under the impression that batteries can't be shipped from China. Guess I was wrong about this.

From China, I am not sure. Personally, I never shipped from China, but confirmed US, AU, JP, KR, HK, SG are OK.

I shipped my charger via 65daigou.
They told me my charger is classified as special product so need pay for higher shipping fee.
I showed them a picture of the internals and clarified that there's no battery inside.
Then they charge me the normal price for shipping.
So yeah, like what batboyz said, depend on which type you get also.

hopefully the N6 will have a better battery life and, maybe a better camera and it would be a near perfect phone.

RMA also no use unless you want to pay for it, warranty dun cover that.

So, it mean I have to pay extra for the repairs beside the shipping fees?

If that is so, anyone here got recommendations for shops that can help to fix the screen?

I know I can diy, but I am not too good at fiddling with electronic devices.

Yah if japan LG will fix it, locally I think there is another forumer going around, trying to find someone to repair also. SG LG also dun have the part to fix. You have better chance, shipping the part yourself and either DIY or get someone good in such fixings to help you.

Just a few pages back, try asking the theloathedone or marcus70 where his friend repair

This phone is a joy to use, especially looking at it wirelessly charging.

Is there a way though to increase rate of charge?
