[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MrJESUSatWork:
I thought Li-Ion's didn't need to be charge cycled?

And can anyone who has owned the battery for several days or over a week comment on how it's been holding up? My old 3500 MAH DInc extended battery was a dream... and then it slowed down :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
Well I don't think they necessarily NEED to cycle but I like to. Just so it can rebuild the file that holds battery stats after I calibrate. Then I think after maybe like the second time or so, I would get the most accurate reading. Not sure if that makes sense but it does to me. However, just after 1 full charge, 13 1/2 hours on battery with 3 hours screen time and still at 61% battery. Looking promising to me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
I've had mine for a week as of today, and if anything the battery life is getting better. That's in due large part to not using the Mobile Recovery app this time, which is what was causing so much Android System use in my previous screenshots.

This time around I let the battery charge overnight, then took it with me to a baseball game (Angels vs Rangers, Angels lost badly :p). I used it for GPS to get there, and picture and video of the game, then took it home and continued to use it as I normally would. I even spent some time playing Temple Run. Total battery life was just over two full days (again, Standby Time is high because it was running overnight twice during this cycle).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] radiohead14:
what's the screen time?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
3h 58m 50s. I have auto-brightness enabled and screen timeout set to 15s.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mcmexican:
I bought the Online 3800 mAh battery (No NFC) from Amazon under 20 dollars. I think I am getting more than my moneys worth. I see a lot of people posting battery lasting as much as two days but Screen On Time is really the key. I have attached my pics that show this battery easily getting over 27 hours with 21% left on the battery but the great part is I have over 7 hours of Screen On Time.

Link to Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Onite-3800mAh...1343070257&sr=1-2&keywords=3800+mAh+galaxy+s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
That's a good point. Once this is fully charged again I'll do a test with the screen set to stay on all the time, and see how long the battery lasts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
So has anyone found TPU cases that fit extended batteries? I would get one but this phone is far too fragile to go without a case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
So far my screen test has been interesting. I found a widget that'll one-click "screen always on, max brightness" and I've been running it like that with airplane mode on. Currently at 44% battery, with 15h 32m of screen time (99% screen, 2% android OS, and yes that's more than 100%).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MrJESUSatWork:
Wow. Using the Hyperion? That is crazy. But LTE sucks up battery like crazy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Yeah, the Hyperion. When this test is done (probably sometime late tonight) I'll charge it up again and run the same test but with data and everything else enabled, including LTE, GPS, NFC, and bluetooth, the whole time. I'm curious to see if it can last a whole day with every feature on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
Mine lasted an entire work day with every feature imagineable running.

Nothing kills a battery worse than audio streaming (IE: iheart radio etc) & I was able to stream iheart for over 8 straight hours (+ GPS on, LTE, 3 push email accounts, weather updating every 30 minutes etc etc etc) with the Hyperion & still had 40% left at the end of the day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Were you streaming over LTE or wifi? Which one uses more power?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MG386:
LTE
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
There you have it. Using nothing but the screen at max brightness, the battery lasted just over 26 hours. Having my phone on airplane mode for a full day felt kind of like being temporarily cut off from the world. I wouldn't recommend it. :p

Stress test will be the last one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] electech13:
Where u buy those batteries anfd how much?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fotoingo:
You get them at ebay or amazon.

Send from my SGS3 CM9 RC2 !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] redxv:
Is there a general consensus about which battery lasts longest (disregarding loss of nfc)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
I was using LTE which uses way more power than WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
I just bought another extended battery with nfc. It should be in today. Its a 4200.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MrJESUSatWork:
The Hyperion was 20 with shipping... pretty damn good deal. How much was the nfc one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
On amazon after shipping it came out to $27
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
This is the first I've heard of an extended WITH NFC. Why not post a link?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
Sure.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0075...ile?redirect=true&ref_=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I'm using my phone right now if I need to I can get the desktop version.

It's not so hard to believe considering the only thing that the battery has to do with nfc is that it holds the antenna for the nfc chip. The antenna requires more of a flat surface than one would think so they made them on batteries. Not much to an antenna as far as I know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
Thank you. Keep us informed on how it does, and NFC.

After getting to your link, I found a link there for the blue one. But they don't have any right now.

Would like to see a case like this one that fits with that battery. This case doesn't add much thickness.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
I'll post some screen shots after my ritual cycles.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bogus83:
Final test.

I charged the phone overnight, then started a Google Music playlist, set the screen to always on/max brightness, enabled bluetooth, GPS, NFC. The results confirm what was said earlier, screen time really IS king. I'm guessing the Media Server is the streaming component of Google Music, and the other entry is the app itself. Facebook, G+, a few games and other assorted apps didn't even make the list (less than 1% of used battery life). I used almost exactly 1GB of 4G data during that 13 hour streaming marathon, thank goodness for grandfathered unlimited data. I'm going to miss it when summer 2014 comes around...

I will probably never spend 13 hours streaming music with every possible feature on again, but if 13 hours is the worst case scenario, that's a pretty good worst case.

I'm curious to see how the 4200mah battery with NFC does. Not that we (Verizon GS3) can use Google Wallet or ISIS yet, but if they ever become available it'd be a nice feature to have.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganmc10:
Ok, I'm working on compiling Jellybean for the TF300T (basing everything off of the Nexus 7 sources, not the CM9 TF300T sources).

When I'm finished, I'm basically left with a system.img and a boot.img.

You can use a tool like Android Kitchen to package those into a .zip (though I don't like that tool much).

But the CM9 TF300T zip has a boot.blob, not boot.img.

I just need some guidance from a more knowledgeable dev about how to package all this up into a CWM flash-able ROM for the TF300T
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keynith:
Try asking the devs for cm9. I forget where it is but there is a thread for cm9 questions.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXKSSnapper:
I'm pretty sure the blob tools over in the prime development section have something to do with this. Not positive though.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype7:
Yep, those work. Google a bit, you'll find them.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermaine151:
1) You need the release tools from an Asus device tree, like these: https://github.com/jermaine151/device_asus_tf201/tree/master/releasetools

2) You need to add blobpack into your device tree, like this: https://github.com/jermaine151/device_asus_tf201/tree/master/blobpack

3) Make sure you add blobpack into your device.mk file and add the release tools into your BoardConfig.mk file.

4) Instead of running "make" run "make otapackage".

And no one has answered his questions.... Haha... If you get the official ics you will lose root and it might take a while to get it back.. Or it may be simple. Best to wait or go with one of the roms already made not sure of the differences between 5 and 6. But the devs will most likely update their roms anyway.... Have fun
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
If you want it now then install it. You get root just like you did with all the past ROMs. Install CWM with Odin and then SU with CWM. Simple as that. If you want to wait then wait. What else needs to be answered?

My gf was exited to hear that ics was available for her skyrocket the other day. I pushed the leak a few months back for her.then the official yesterday. now my question is: where is the people app in the official update ? In the leak it was a better version of contacts. with Facebook, google + status updates next to the corresponding person.is there a way to port this over?

I must say I'm extremely disappointed with this update. Visually nothing is different. Battery, signal etc all the same.

Just finished uploading some missing TAR Modem files.

Every modem available for our phones is now up on the Repo in ZIP and TAR format. All GB series are available in One-Click.exe and a little less than half of the ICS modems are available in One-Click.exe. I have almost all of them created I just have to get them uploaded to the FTP.

Also, per user request I'll be adding instructions on how to flash a TAR modem file through stand-alone Odin sometime this week (depending on work schedule).

People need to stop searching so damned hard. Its like saying they had to search all over the forum to find their phone. Every phone has a forum every phone has a Wiki. Wiki has all the modems.

I am glad rwilco has put this up because I prefer having a thread with slightly more direct downloads than we have seen with other threads in the past. Now if we can just get people to open their eyes to the wiki! We do still have plenty to add to the wiki though. I havent looked but last I checked the Kernel and Rom sections need a big overhaul.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'm with you! I've got a couple of projects here I'm trying to wrap up and then I was going to be moving on to updating the Kernel Wiki.

Thank you so much for your work on the Modem Wiki! Without it I wouldn't have been able to do this. Really my only addition to it has been the one-click.exe versions of the modems. Between this and the wiki though I think we've got everything covered!

edit; i have a nexus so im not super familiar with all the little tricks for this phone, can you even go backwards to a previous modem without being rooted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You didn't do anything silly like removing the .md5 from the file name (file.tar.md5) which is a problem if you do.

You can flash any modem tar at any time in any working state.

Indeed it does! I've been using 6.8 as my daily use kernel for a while and it's working great for me. If you're on an ICS ROM, I would highly recommend it. With any of the source built kernels, there isn't a need to flash back to any of the GB kernels unless you are just more comfortable going through the extra step. There was an issue with flashing .zips on some of Agat's earlier kernels, but that was resolved a while back. I hear the Kuban kernels are nice too! Good luck, and happy flashing!
