Yes the external battery charger is great "feature". I also like it very much and i use it for my phone but it has one disadvantage.These chargers take much more time to charge the battery.For example a 2000mah battery takes 6.30 hours to fully charge.A friend create a "patent" so i connect a 2A charger and i can charge very quick the battery.I will try it when my v3 arrives and if works it will be awesome to have a fully charge battery in less than 1 hour.The charger i am showing to the picture is this [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register].Although it says that it gives 600mah,the real number is 300mah

it makes it charging unstable, thats why it will load mostly to 88-89% and sometimes upto 100%
just depends on the load (usage) of the phone and the chemical state of the battery
so it will give random charging results,
the solution is to turn off the phone while charging so the internal circuit is
having less load (mah)
if you dont want to turn the phone off you could also try to decrease the current load by switching off most of the functions
Well... makes sense. And it's more acceptable to me to shut it down over night and charge it while it's off, than pulling out the battery and inserting a new one (or charge the same one with external charger). How come iNew QA didn't noticed that before it walked out of the factory? If so many users have issues with the charging, they should have been aware of that long time ago. If it were some other prestigious brand, they certainly wouldn't released it to public in such unfinished state.
4.35V is just the absolute maximum of the battery, in reality that will be only reached due overcharging but will drasticly decrease lifetime of the battery and will cause cell oxidation and blow up if often repeated (membrane bursts), a smart charger will charge a li-ion cell upto 97% and values it as an 100% charge 4.35*0.97=4.2195v (safe charge voltage) keep in mind that it is a chemical part so that means not one battery gives the same values in production and seperatly needs calibration, unfortunatly the v3 internal charge circuit is a bit careful or weak with just a low drain but reaches upto 100% without problem if the device is turned off or less used, also with a new battery charging might improve by doing some more charges/discharges
here i get a 4.205v 100% charge and thats just normal
the truth is that when the battery is charged voltage already starts to drop, this is because the charger circuit cuts charge voltage because it doesnt want to stress the battery and the battery is loosing a bit of his peak voltage because of discharging, so these screencapture values are actual but not maximal just read the max values in your battery monitor app history log ;)
these cells are in fact not supposed to be charged fully and beyond/above any value of 4.2v at all as it will decrease lifetime alot because these cells are build for 4.2 volt (with an absolute maximum of 4.35 destroy voltage) just responded on what you wrote or tried by quoting, that trying to charge/push beyond 4.2v with some cheap unprotected charger is not doing any good to these cells, also i am aware and said that the internal circuit of the Inew V3 is a bit weak (mostly because of safety against battery stress) but its also generally known that li-ion circuits give problems charging when the device is switched on because it destorts the charge cycle treshold so it is better and advised to switch the device off as it works just as good as any good protected external charger without the need to take the battery off, but i am repeating now so i stop writing about the charger or batteries lol i dont mind at all just tried to help
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
