Experiencing the same thing. Some days the battery is good, other days it's not holding up so well

My battery never dies with this battery, probably the best investment I have purchased for this phone. Doesn't even make the phone that much bigger then the otter box cases

Hey guys i had a question, i got my replacement Hyperion today and before i charge it, it says to charge it for 12 hours, is that only for the first charge? or charge it for 12 hours for the first 5 full discharges and charges
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slimer110:
Absolutely. I have had to revert to my stock battery, because my GPS is too eratic while using the extended battery. I'm sure it is just the cover, but have not tested enough to confirm. This really sucks because I love everything about this battery. Not only the longevity, but the feel as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaines:
FYI, I'm running FreeGS3 JellyBean v2.0.0 (L710VPBLJ7) with a Hyperion 4200mah battery and Hyperion TPU case and my GPS is amazing. It almost always gets a fix in under five seconds and never lose my fix.

In my experience, GPS issues are usually do to the firmware/modem.

Hyperion 3.8V vs stock Samsung 3.7V

Hey guys, just finished reading all 27 pages of this post. Ordered the Hyperion 4200 mAH battery and (and the Honeycomb TPU protection case), received, and fully charged. Just worried about the fact that the original stock Samsung battery is 3.7V and the new Hyperion 4200 one is 3.8V. It seemed to charge ok in the phone. I had the phone turned off, and left it for over 12 hours as some suggested in this thread.

Is the 3.8V going to be a problem in any way in my S3, model i747M. Thanks in advance for any replies to this!! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
you should be perfectly fine. although for a bit more money i'da gone with the ZeroLemon 7000mAh battery ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Festivale26:
Thanks. I would have bought the zerolemon but couldn't find it anywhere online for sale. If I can get 2-3 days out of my battery on my S3, I will be very happy! Often I cannot get 1 full day with my stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
WOW! 1 day on stock battery is impressive. I averaged 8-12 hours! my 4200mAh QCell gives me about 24-34 hours pending use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Festivale26:
When I said 1 day on stock Samsung battery, I meant about 10-12 hours, some days less. I just finished the first cycle of my new 4200 NFC Hyperion battery and got from Friday around 08:15 to Sunday night around 23:00. Very impressed! I got the red Hyperion case to protect the phone and bought a Samsung S3 Multimedia desktop dock. Won't charge phone with the red case on, but will with the Hyperion battery and white cover on.

I've had cheap eBay batteries destroy some of my older phones.not sure if they over heated it or what but it's happened more than once.this is my first non oem battery in a long time but Hyperion seems to be a respectable company.

I have 4 hyperion batteries for my charge and 2 for my S3. Haven't had any issues yet with them. Both are the standard size, not extended.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] advancedbasic:
None of you guys are bothered by the thickness of the phone with an extended battery? How does it compare to the thickness of an iPhone 4 (my old phone; I haven't gotten a GS3 yet but will have one in about a week)? I keep seeing how thin the GS3 is with its original battery in photos and videos and I feel like extra thickness and weight wouldn't be worth a longer battery life unless it was many times longer.

Opinions?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
honestly it doesn't bother me. It's thinner and lighter than my droid 3 with an extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] em2drvr03:
I just received mine from amazon but its not the 4200 one like some people are getting. And thats fine b/c i dont use nfc anyway. Looking forward ti testing this baby out. IMO i love how it fits in the hand and how it gives it just the right amount of weight.

Okay I'm done with my first full cycle on this extended battery below are the pictures of how long the battery lasted me.

My battery is being a *****...It will discharge while still plugged in. It only charges to about 97% .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
Have you tried charging it while the phone is off? Let it fully charge then unplug and turn on. Then plug it back in. Worked for a gorilla gadgets extended battery I had for my evo
[Galaxy S III Accessories] em2drvr03:
Ill give that a shot.. Its just weird how it will charge to about 97% then while still plugged in i will watch it go down and down.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] em2drvr03:
I had kinda the same thing happen to me. It would say 95% and then discharge...so i pulled battery then restarted then it would say 98%.

I guess it's better than finding out you have less battery than what is being reported

Anyone know where to get one of these batteries other than Amazon - unfortunately Amazon won't ship these to Australia. I've checked eBay - I can find the case, but not the battery :( .... Thanks in advance ..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
Well, these are the links to the batteries on ebay. But the seller says they only ship to the US and Canada so that doesn't really help :-\

You can always email them and see. Worst they can do is tell you no.

Pebble blue

I checked ebay.com.au and found some 4300mah batteries without NFC, but they are generic so really I don't know how good they could be.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
So my order came in from Amazon and I got the 4200 with NFC also (no clue how to test it though, tried but failed). Just got home from work and my battery shows 80% left. Usually I come home with 55% so it is significant increase. If anyone ever figures out how to turn LTE off on At&t this battery would be a monster for me. I usually lose 50% of battery on my signal between LTE and HSPA at work.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] circuit.007:
Wow impressive. But I'm probably just gona my some extra normal battery's as I don't like the bulk and need my case to fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
Final tally before plugging in at 5% left: 2d 6h 53m 56s on battery, 6h 25m 16s screen time on.

Phenomenal battery life.

Now for the bad news. NFC on this battery SUCKS. I got my tags today and I thought maybe they were defective. Turns out the tags are fine, just the battery isn't. The NFC *does* work with this battery, but it's very shoddy. I have to hold it in just the right spot for it to write, and getting it to read is a joke. I would have to constantly move it around to find a decent spot and maybe, just maybe it would read it.

Contrast that to the OEM battery which instantly writes and reads the tags with no problem. The tags don't even have to touch the back of the battery door with the OEM battery.

I'm going to write to Hyperion and see what they say. But for now, I rate this battery an A+ for battery life, and a F for NFC.

UPDATE on NFC! Works fantastic!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
I guess that would explain why I couldn't get it to work either. Its good to know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] peteco0403:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rpxz:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
I want to pull the trigger on this but am hesitant because of the replacement battery cover. The color looks way off and it doesn't look to be very good quality, especially the openings. Any owners of this battery care to weigh in?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnewman1991:
I just received the battery today and the door feels pretty good compared to the other extended batteries I've bought in the past. Unfortunately my phone that was supposed to be delivered today won't be here until tomorrow so I can't compare it to the stock one at the moment. I will report back tomorrow afternoon though when I finally receive it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
I'm guessing you have a pebble blue S3? The white one very, very close. I'd say it's maybe a little less glossy, but also not as slick.

The blue one.. I haven't heard good things about it, that it's not a close match, but I haven't really heard anyone say it looks bad.

If you get an extended battery case it won't really matter.

As far as the quality, it's ok. It's harder than the oem battery door, so it will crack sooner than flex.. but you'd have to really be trying to bend it I think. I've taken mine off maybe a dozen times so far and it's been fine. Long term use remains to be seen.

Oh, and I just installed leankernel and cpu-editor/battery script so it'll be interesting to see what it can do!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] taphius:
I ordered a white and a blue one (first one was the 4000ma/no nfc so ordered the blue one, its 4200/ w nfc).

The white one matches very well, it only has a bit of orange peel going on but the snaps work well and there are no gaps, everything lines up correctly.

Cannot comment on the pebble blue color matching since I dont have one :P

battery working very well. Stock battery lasted maybe 12 hours in my house due to very poor 3g/4g signal (really want a 2g toggle...). This one easily lasts 27 hours or so.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MRCANNADY:
Just received my battery today through Amazon. It was at 60% charge, so I am fully charging it now before I even start using the phone. It does make the phone bulkier, but it's not ugly or 1995-bulky (for those who remember) and it doesn't add weight to the phone. I am willing to trade the thinness of the phone in order to be able to use all the phone's features, play my 3d heavy games, and leave my screen at 40-45% brightness without having to recharge as soon as I get home from work. if you are worried about the size, don't..it's really not even noticeable unless someone is looking at the phone from behind...a worthy purchase if you're into heavy mobile gaming/movie watching like myself.

I will update on how long I can go without charging.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
the blue is VERY far off... far off enough that it looks awesome. it is more of a gunmetal, with a blue tint.

I think they decided that matching the color was too difficult, and would do a complimentary color instead. (i personally think it looks better.)

Mine came with a cracked cover, so i have contacted them to see if they will send out a new cover... but I am LOVING the battery!

I am on my first cycle still, and i was bluetoothing audio, while 4g connected to a my PC at work, controlling my work PC to get some work done, while I sat in traffic for 3 1/2 hours due to a semi truck (well, 2 of them) colliding and catching on fire.

and i still had over 60% charge left when i got to work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
I think the blue cover looks fine. Anyone find a charger that fits it? I'd like to charge it outside my phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
the hyperion one on amazon fits it... it sticks out, but it fits and charges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
If and when you get an external charger can you let us know if it charges the battery to 100%? I've read a couple posts about it not charging all the way and wondering if it makes any difference if it's in the phone or not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] em2drvr03:
Right now im at 1 day 16hours with 2 and a half hours of screen on time. and have 42% battery left. This is on the 1st charge. Mine would not charge to 100% but only 98%. And with this battery only $20 i cant complain so much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
I just bought the Hyperion Universal charger from Amazon for $5. I'll let you know how I works when I get it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
Thanks, much appreciated. Just received mine in the mail today. Ordered from amazon with the blue back and it came with the 4200 mah and NFC.:thumbup: Unlike the other post saying NFC wasnt working well, mine reads and writes just as well as stock. I'll report on battery life after I fully charge and run it through a cycle or two.

Also a link to the pebble blue extended batter with nfc? I looked on Amazon but I only see the slim hyperion batteries with nfc.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
Check post #19 for the pics and the pebble blue amazon posting says 4000 mah and nothing about NFC. I ordered it and when I got it the battery read 4200 w/NFC
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Ahh ok. So they advertise it without nfc and at a lower mah but when you got it it was with nfc and a larger battery. Got it.

I emailed their customer support asking if I would receive a 4200mAH version even though I was ordering a 4000mAh on Amazon.com. Here's the response I received.

We have just a few of the 4000mAH left and once they are gone, we will be switching to the 4200mAH. If you want to make the purchase on the 4000 and then email me right away, I will make sure that it gets switched to the 4200. Or you can wait until we start listing the 4200 (hopefully in the next week or so).

Thanks for the inquiry,

To be safe, I'd drop them an email when placing an order to ensure you get the 4200mAh version.

Ordered on Thursday night and received it Saturday morning. Love Amazon Prime:)

Extended battery case has a crack on the side.

Other than that it's like what everyone said. Feels good on your hand and the weight is minimal. Waiting for the tpu case but it's not as nice as the ones I have.

Thanks everyone for their reviews. I wouldn't bought this if it wasn't for your feedbacks.

Forgot to mentioned it's 4200 with NFC

seems to working fine with my nexus 7 :)

How do you feel it is in comparison to stock? Don't know how your stock graph usually looks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheLynxy:
Received my 4200mAh battery at about 60%. After a full discharge and a charge to 100%, here are my stats:

Screen on 7 hours, 23 minutes.

A lot of time was spent playing 3D games and web surfing. My stock battery couldn't come anywhere close to this, often had to plug it in twice a day on weekends. This one went from 10am to 10pm with *very* heavy usage with no problem, very pleased with it. NFC works fine too!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] drutort:
I'm one of those that bought the ebay 4500 mah "max power", the issue I had with mine, is on the first charge it said it did 100% and light went green, after unplugging from charge it went to the 80's. Then the next days it would not do 100% even over night, it would go to like 90% something then jump down to 80's and keep doing that I left it in the charge until I went to work.

This was with stock rom, I have since rooted and flashed.

Personally I cant use any phone without a good tpu case that as grip sides (like those cheap ebay S curve), I bought that for stock battery and love the super grip on the sides. Now the extended battery at first gave the phone quite the weight, and the bulk in my jean pockets took some time to get used to. BUT i personally love holding the phone with the tpu case on the extended case, I can just hold it far better and secure IMO.

purchased on ebay US seller (this place has 14 days 100% return, I asked q about the battery not charging to 100%)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/11091525021...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3480wt_1398

Been thinking of the Hyperion one, if this ebay one doesnt workout, even with stock rom and wacky battery charging and % display, the battery was far longer then stock.

Battery is the "max power" I had some of these brands for other devices, such as in my DSLR wasnt impressed but they were fraction of the OEM, in that world changing batteries is a breeze. On the phone I would not want to swap batteries and nor do I want to walk around with a battery in my pocket LOL

I'd say its a little below double the usage I would get out of a stock battery. Keep in mind that this is the first charge so I'm pretty sure it'll get somewhat better in the next few charging cycles. Overall my personal opinion is that this battery is a beast. Well worth the money
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:

These batts are Ana amazing deal, for the price, the only questions people should be asking is: do I mind having my phone be as thick as an original OGDroid? (I checked beside my gf's old droid 1.)
