after a week or two of use, I've found that the battery bulge is great for getting a better grip with my index finger across it as mentioned by someone else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
What do you use for the car holder that can accommodate such a thick backing?

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

I have a question on this:

If you use the 5200mA battery AND clear the battery stats, wouldn't this "confuse" the phone when later on you put on the normal 2500mAH battery? The battery stats will be for 5200mA, but the battery is 2500mA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
I wasn't driving, but my friend was. But, my friend also has a note, on a different carrier, and kept losing signal once we were in the mountains. He has a car holder that clamps onto the phone. I don't know where he got it, but it looked like a generic car holder.

As for the battery stat, first, clearing battery stat doesn't really do anything for battery life or help with correct reading. When I switch batteries, it will instantly indicate the correct battery level.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] armyboy11b:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
You need to read the link I posted previously. Wiping battery stats does nothing...android wipes them every recharge anyways. It won't confuse the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheGrandFinale2001:
Really wish they could make a battery without the back being so jacked lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vol2ume4:
Experimenting with 5200mah generic battery from ebay

Thought of sharing my experience. I ordered a generic 5200mah for my Glaxy Note GT-N7000 from ebay.in. Price was INR 1700/-. Came with a back cover.

Holding the phone was easier as it was rounded. Either I got used to it or it was really not much heavier to hold. I missed the flap to cover the screen.

I am going through 3rd charge cycle. The last 2 i went from 100 to 0. Am using Battery Left and Battery Monitor Widget to check. Also Current Wizard.

When charging, it takes about 4.5 hours and Battery Left started showing 100%. The current wizard widget was still showing 1000ma so i continued for another 30 min when it went to 0ma and I unplugged.

Battery Left widget is still in calibration mode. Its Estimation is relying on past usage patterns and applies it to time elapsed since unplugged. So when this run of usage was vastly different from the previous usage patterns it was way off mark.

I removed the SIM before charging. Last evening I unplugged at 7:15pm. The wifi was on while my modem was off. It dropped battery to 98%. This almost always happens. Then I put the phone away. It was 98% (system charge as shown by Battery Left) when I checked at 630am.

As I fiddled with Carat, checked CPU Spy and other settings it dropped 2%.

Browsing using wifi for 50min dropped battery from 96% to 86%. Used Google Reader, Google News and Times of India app. At this rate it should give 8.3 hours of browsing.

I recently switched from BB Curve and was quite intrigued by the battery life puzzle of Note. So I have decided to use the BB again as primary phone while the Note is put through tests to check its fit for Enterprise type use.

Settings: GPS, Wifi, Active Sync etc off. Use Wifi only when browsing.

Brightness set to 0. Screen Filter set at 30%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vol2ume4:
Switched to using Note in Phone Only Mode: (Calls and SMS only) to test the battery.

With SIM card inserted, with these settings the battery drop from 930pm to 630am was 1%, when the alarm went off it dropped further 1%.

Settings (Set off all of these: Data Packet, Wifi, Bluetooth, Enable Data Send Backend, GPS, Roaming, ActiveSync).

On my Battery Monitoring Apps:

Battery Left is still way off mark. It is using previous usage pattern as the benchmark. Battery Monitor Widget and Battery Life are in agreement on the "System Battery %" while their Estimated Battery % are far apart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zukgod1:
Tested

I ordered and received my 5200 batt and cover.

Seems to be working very well. I've only done one full discharge and I doubt I'll do another.

Every artical I've read on LI battery care says not to run it to 0 every if at all possible.

Below taken from add "http" in front of it ://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The shorter the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life, other than to calibrate the fuel gauge on a smart battery once in a while.

Anyway to each his own but I wont be running it down very low if its avoidable.

I also bought the Hyperion extended battery case and it fit pretty well aside from the void under the upper part just above the battery bulge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
While yea this is true, your theory is flawed in that your phone will not run it down to empty. Proper circuits have a low voltage cut off. Your phone will never deplete a battery low enough unless it terribly malfunctions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
When you want educated on batteries, talk to an RC hobbist
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zukgod1:
Well as I said "To each his own" you can of course do what you want and I'll do what I want. I've owned enough cell phones at this point in my life to know that what I have been doing works.

And its not my theory I quoted just one of the many articles I've read on the subject so once again to each his own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Absolutely do what you think is best, it is your stuff to do with as you see fit. I didn't mean to hurt any feelings with the word theory. I was only trying to explain to you a piece of the puzzle that is not addressed. I have alot of experience with actual batteries and not just cell phones. This is what the article is addressing, only half of the equation. One some types of lithium batteries, such as LIPO, if you discharge too low it will not accept a charge and instead convert that charge energy to heat, go critical, and cause one helluva a fire. This is why electronics will not allow that pack to be used once its voltage has dropped past a certain point. But like you said, do your thing and enjoy whatever you consider it is your doing (not a theory as you pointed out) since it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capnoob:
Got my battery yesterday and charged it to 100%. Unplugged and then turned on wifi, bluetooth, gps. Watched 2 full movies on wifi with brightness 100%, streamed another movie from neflix with headphones on 100% vol, ran a couple of errands with GPS and full brightness all total it was on battery from 3pm saturday to 12 am sunday and was only at 40%. I'm betting i could get 24 hours out of this thing. I'll update with screen on time pics after my second charge to 100%.

Using Battery Monitor Widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capnoob:
I think this says it all...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Yes. I'd be interested in hearing more results. How does it perform after multiple charges? Any difference? Also, I've read ten pages and so far....nobody, has had the afterthought to run the screen at 100%. I saw one person mention that he ran at auto brightness, and one person use the battery burn in test from juice offender. If the app does take care of some kind of consistent brightness profile, this would be the ideal app for ALL of us to use when testing batteries. Screen on time means nothing if you don't give us the data at 100% brightness with consistent use. Unfortunately the screen seems like the largest single battery user....which is 100% reasonable for obvious reason...but telling us that it lasted so-and-so many hours isn't useful, because we never use our phones in the same way as other people, and we never use our phone exactly the same way every day. Even small discrepancies like playing a game or using an app that you may not realize uses a lot of GPU accelerated transition animations or graphics may skew the results. So in the future, a "it lasts longer than X" is good, but a battery burn test, or at least leaving the screen brightness at 100%, and then posting screen on time would be magnitudes more useful. Its awesome that so many people came together on this thread to post their info on the last couple pages!

Edit: It turns out a couple people more included some brightness info. Bravo! Were making headway here on XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capnoob:
This is the screen on time info you requested.

I have it overclocked at 1.83Ghz with interactive govenor on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
I have always stated and posted pictures of my results. As a follow up, they battery is doing well. Yesterday I was able to get just over 6hrs screen on time with normal daily routine (light gaming, Facebook, Google reader, xda, auto brightness, full sync on etc). I'm NEVER trying to save battery anymore. The results were on wifi mostly (90% of day). With LTE use it usually drops to around 4-4.5 hours.

On my Droid Bionic, no lag, perfect.

however, i could play with ps3 controller through usb connection.

anywayz, am i the only one who has lags like this?

Hi,

im searching for wireless gamepad(with analogs) compatible with Galaxy Tab 10.1 without root.

I found that dualshock 3 works fine but needs root.

What's about Logitech F710?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vitamindx:
Sorry to rain on your parade but you'll more than likely need to root the device for any controller to work properly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KuliG:

They work fine without root?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poorlilpoop:
Phonejoy pad works without rooting the device. I have one. It uses bluetooth. I use it with Snesoid, nesoid, n64soid, etc.

I think there is new version out there too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jonnyg1097:
What about an icontrolpad? It uses bluetooth to connect to other devices but I never used it so I cant comment on the requirements to use with it. But I believe that root isnt required.

Hello,

I am writing to reach out to this wounderful community. Today my 2 year old was diagnosed with leukemia and an unknown viral disease. As you all know this is never good news but it is even harder for us as it was right in the middle of a major move for us from Ohio to Georgia. Unfortunetly I have to proceed with the move and will be about 700 miles from my wife and daughter as they will be staying in Ohio for treatment at Akron Childrens Hospital. I will be flying from Georgia to Ohio as often as I can.

It breaks my heart to see my daughter going threw this. It is especially hard for me because I am a paramedic and I can't fix this.

Please keep my wife and daughter in ur prayers.

Simcerely,

James E Studer NREMT-P, EMSI

UPDATE:

Today she gets her med port. We did get some good news. She has the most common type. It will be a long road of treatment but we should have a great outcome. Thank you all for the prays.

UPDATE 6-26-2012:

Yesterday my daughter was discharged from the hospital. Today we will be reunited as a family in our new home in Georgia. We have a long road ahead of us. She has 2 years worth of chemo to do.

Donations: Since peoe have asked there is a page on facebook for my daughter Zoe Paige Studer. Easiest way is prolly paypal. Will try to lost links after work to Zoe's FB page my FB and my Wifes FB.

i just noticed this morning after unplugging my note that even though my note is going into deep sleep the battery drain is still way too much as compared to the previous day...

i checked cpuspy and at first didn't register anything odd except that it goes into deep sleep.. after a second glance only then i realized that instead of running at 200mhz my note was running at 1000mhz during charge..

has anyone here experienced this before?? although i noticed that it seems to be a lot snappier now :D

i just can't help but worry what lasting damage it may be doing to the processor... and the fact that even though it goes into deep sleep i'm losing about 5% of juice for every 15-20 mins. :confused:
