Ok, 2 days on this battery now, 2nd day I'm getting a lot more out of it than the first day. Yesterday I pulled it off the charger and watched it drain down to about 2% then I pulled the battery and put in my stock one to get me through the rest of the day until I got to a charger. When I got home I swapped the batteries back out and when I pulled it it had only 2% left, but when it booted back up it said I had 30% :eek:. I played on the phone for about 45 minutes and finally got tired, only drained it to 22% and put it on the charger.

Today my current stats:

I'm going to try and drain this last 30% until it dies then charge it back up once again... Hoping to squeeze 4+ hours of screentime on this thing on a regular basis.

I have gotten used to the thicker feel of the phone and like it much better. I can grip it much easier and the phone feels better in the hand. Yes it's a little heavier, but to me the stock battery is just a little too thin for such a large device. My only complaint is the TPU case. It's just too slick, and just doesn't feel right compared to other TPU cases I've owned. I may get used to it, but I might have to get a different one.

I won't buy another Hyperion battery after receiving 2 defective batteries, then the 3rd "extended" battery gave me less life than the stock on my Google Nexus. Maybe I just was unlucky, but I don't trust those batteries....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 007shinobi:
Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds like they must have done a bad job with the galaxy nexus :( sorry to hear that. Its hard to see which battery is better and there isn't enough reviews to help decide which one outperforms the other. (I don't know why I am checking even though I don't have the phone yet xD)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
so first day I was at 75% battery with nearly 8 hours of use! I was lucky to get 10 hours on the normal one... and this sucker isn't even "broken in" yet!

Speaking to QCell and this is what they said about charging:

The batteries have ic chips in them to prevent overcharge.

To condition the extended battery, please charge up to 12 hours before use. For first 5-6 use, you will need to use the battery until it reaches 0% and recharge to 100%. As soon as it reaches 100%, please keep it in charger for 2 hours to allow the extra capacity the charge. This will allow you to get the maximum capacity out of your battery. In very rare scenarios, the maximum capacity is reached at 20th full recharge / discharge.

To condition the slim battery, please charge up to 8hours before use. For first 5-6 use, you will need to use the battery until it reaches 0% and recharge to 100%. There is no need to keep it in charger after it reaches 100%.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 3one3:
Is anyone else's image quality being affected by the "tunnel" that is created around the lens because the backing is so much thicker? I really feel like the phone is struggling to focus properly and light is reflecting in there creating poor image quality. This sucks because I am very much into taking photos with my phone :(

On another note, I just immediately threw the battery in and used it until it was almost dead. Charged it fully last night, unplugged around 8:30am. It's 3:37pm now and I have been using heavily with full brightness and 4G on. Battery is probably 4/5 full still. Very pleased with day 1.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
My pictures come out exactly the same even with a case on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
yeah, QCell battery and TPU case, pic is exactly the same on both wifes and mine
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bozint:
The use time seems very good and on that price it sure is a great deal. And take it easy with the wife, mine tends to get all crazy and **** when my only attention is towards a tech gadget :laugh:

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
thanks, but it's a bit too late for me... she know's I'm a Gear Head and Tech Nerd already, now I gotta deal with her being PREGNANT! -just found out! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 3one3:
Are you guys using the white backing or blue?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I am using white, wife is using blue

so 1st run I was at 10+ hours and 60% left. Last night was the first night I've gone without charging and woke up to 27% battery still. Used Battery Kill to knock it out and now charging for the second time. So far lovin this!

Wife is still on first charge... 21 hours, 24min with 57% battery left and 2hours 40min screen time.

Purchased the qcell 4200 with the white qcell tpu case. Getting it wenesday. Will take pics to show you guys how it looks.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
Blue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
are these the same cases?! if so, which is the real color? I would love it in the second, lighter blue, not so much in the dark blue on top.

im just reading through the threads and i was about to get the Hyperion battery with the honeycomb case but I would love this blue color...and apparently the QCell is better than the Hyperion?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
The top picture (I posted) was their uploaded generic pic, the second pic is an actual user's pic. Now I am unsure about the lighting conditions in that pic, but I'd venture to say the second pic is what you'll get.

Unsure which is "better" for battery, but I can say I've been in contact with QCell and the CS is AMAZING!!:victory:

Their TPU case is much nicer than I thought it would be. Plus Amazon gives you a discount for multiple QCell products! :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
I'm going to give it a try. I really hope it's the lighter blue.

anyone know if the Hyperion honeycomb tpu cases fit this battery? I want to also get own of those in white and have both.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII on MetroPCS!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
not sure, if you want a white and blue case, QCell has both, unless you're looking for Honeycomb design
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
yeah I like the honeycomb design for the white. and I'm a sucker for that shade of blue, that's why I'm going for it. let's hope this works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
gotcha, ya QCell and Hyperion should be good as OP has QCell Battery and Hyperion case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
ehhhh both the dual case and single case QCell batteries on amazon are not available for purchase!?!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
WOW! I know they said they were busy while talking to them. I had to wait for it to come into stock when I ordered mine a week ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
inversely, can I use the blue case from QCell with the Hyperion battery? I really have no loyalty to either brand. "my" brand would be Seidio, from which i've bought my extended batteries for the Evo and the Evo3D, as well as my cases. but they don't look pretty enough for the S3 and are much more expensive than these counterparts with apparently great reviews.

so, anyone have the QCell cover on a Hyperion battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
yeah, should be good the other way around I would imagine.

So one negative with the QCell white back, when using the LED as a flashlight, you get some wicked bleeding of light! -Blue back is PERFECTLY FINE. I am working with them now to resolve it. If you have this issue, contact them, they are sending me a new back once they fix the issue. As I've said, AMAZING CS!!!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
The Honeycomb fits like a glove. I'm hearing that the QCell case is a little more loose fitting. It feels like the Honeycomb was made JUST for this battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
well between my wife and I we ordered 6 cases and the extended battery...so I will have plenty to test!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] BosCeltics18:
I received my Qcell case damaged. The entire box it came in was literally flat on one side of the box. Look like it was ran over or something. The case sat like 4mm below the phone because it was flattened by the packaging damage.

RETURNED w/ battery. Love my CaseMate Phantom to much to see it go to waste.

Any other sources for QCell or Hyperion 4000+mAh batteries that will SHIP to EU (outside UK)?

Amazon.com will NOT electronics ship to Finland

None of the ebay.com sellers will ship the Hyperson 4200mAh batteris to Finland

I can't understand why. Guess they don't want money from countries that are not actually broke :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
really? Wife and my case fits GREAT! Doesn't have any sagging or anything.

vasra -email them and see if they will sell directly
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
Haha my bad, didn't mean the QCell is loose, just that the Honeycomb is more snug. It's literally got ZERO wiggle room once you get it on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I'm not sure if I would want the case any more "snug". This is about perfect IMO. Now maybe in a few months it will loosen up, but it is more than secure enough for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
UPDATE

I've had this for a couple weeks now and I'm easily averaging 5 -6 hours of screen time. So far this battery is holding up GREAT!

The case is also awesome too, even after the beating I've been putting it through every day it still looks brand new.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Abbens:
I just got my hyperion 4200 in the mail today. fits nice, love how the phone is nice and heavy now. I will give details on battery life once i put it through test
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gloomba:
I just got my extended qcell and case in the mail. I haven't used the battery yet, but they only sent me one door, no white one. I tried on the purple (not blue) battery door and then put on the case. The case is horribly loose. The sides do not wrap around the front of the phone. I can't press the power or volume buttons wit it on. This is the worst case I have ever put on a phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
Any pics? I have found the QCell TPU case to be a great case!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
Definitely would like to see some pics of that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] True01:
Also ruins pics that use flash, with the light bleed issue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BosCeltics18:
Same thing happened to me. RETURNED ASAP

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gloomba:
I don't have any pictures at the moment, but the fit of the case is truly horrendous. On the positive side the battery held up very well today. I had around 6 hours of screen on time, around 45 mins of music streaming, 3 hours of final fantasy, and lots of other fiddly stuff going on. Once my phone got to 2% left I watched half an hour of netflix before it finally died. The battery cover fits well and has a nice feel to it. The second day was the same, I had to try really hard to get the battery drained before I went to sleep.

I sent qcell an email and they got back to me saying that they will send me a replacement. Unfortunately I have to wait a couple of weeks for it to show up from China so I am a little disappointed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
Looks like everyone's life is pretty much doubling with this or the Hyperion. This battery makes this phone work like it should, the battery life was the only thing keeping this phone from being perfect IMO.

And you're talking about the QCell case right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
so I finally got my Hyperion battery and was able to test my blue Qcell case. it looks great and feels good, but it absolutely does not play well with my screen protector. I have the zagg hd shield and this blue case keeps lifting it up on the sides...anyone else experience this?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII on MetroPCS!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I have the Mercury Color screen protector and mine only does a SLIGHT BIT on the top, but think I got it trained right now. Is your Zagg full coverage and is it positioned PERFECTLY?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
Guys any reason why after 11.5 hours my phone is at 23% with 20% usage being screen and 45% being Facebook SNS?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII on MetroPCS!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
Looks like something to do with your Facebook is keeping your phone awake or pulling data. Try uninstalling anything Facebook related for a day and see how your battery does. You could even just try disabling your data when you're not using it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
i figured out what it was. the built-in SNS apk was syncing my Facebook calendar constantly since August 16. it was stuck there. I have separate facebook and twitter apps syncing their own stuff already, so I disabled the SNS and changed my background data syncing settings and now my battery life should be considerably different. will report back in a couple of days when I Can put the phone to real use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattman77777:
nfc?

How does the nfc work on this battery? I really enjoy using Google wallet and want to make sure this isn't going to interfere with that. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
NFC works great, even through my case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lazarat:
I get 5hrs screen on time with stock battery. The op gets 6hrs screen on time. I do not get all this excitment honestly. You gain one more hour screen on time and your phone becomes much heavier and thicker.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] slick_shoes:
It depends on how you use it. How do you know you won't get double your screen time? On my first cycle of Hyperion, I got 30hrs unplug from the charger and 6+ hrs of screentime as oppose to half of that on my stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shudder123:
I'd love to get my hands on this battery and case. Does any one know of a place where they will ship to Singapore or Canada? all the Amazon sites I've been ship to neither Singapore nor Canada...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChaseBroyles:
I just got mine. I'll post screenshots when I let it cycle. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
I got my QCell battery on Saturday and charged it up. I removed it until the Honeycomb case came in today. I totally hate the case. I think the whole kit is going to sit in my drawer until my stock battery kicks the bucket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roco91:
What is it you don't like about the case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
It's so thin that it's like putting a bandaid around the phone... absolutely no protection.

Edit: I've had about ten or twelve cases for this phone and some that I've paid 70 cents for gave better protection and feel to the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] freemeech:
I love it ...both the battery and case...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tpapa:
Does the QCell TPU case fit the phone when using the Hyperion battery and back cover? Or perhaps the QCell back cover fits over the Hyperion battery which makes the question moot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spacepirates:
I just ordered this case:

http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung...sung+Galaxy+S+III+Extended+Battery+case+qcell

With any luck, it'll be here in a few days and I can see how it holds up.

I ended up choosing this case over the hyperion one for two reasons:

1) it was $3 cheaper (and I am very cheap)

2) hyperion is/are the bad guys in borderlands 2, so that is a black mark to the name. kidding... kidding... just the price reason...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
Thanks, I ordered it too.

This will be about the 15th case I've purchased!

I'm a sucker for accessories... LOL

I have a Hyperion extended battery and it provides a lot of extra time. I just got the QCell and haven't had a chance to compare performance, BUT... ... the Hyperion did not have NFC capability and this one is purported to. Film at 23:00...

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

There is a slight difference in the covers. The Hyperion cover is tapered on the ends while the QCell is more rounded. In functionality, they appear identical.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I tried a quick check and they interchange just fine. QCell <=> Hyperion (battery and/or cover). I don't know if the i9300's are any different, but on my i535 they work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
I decided to go with the Qcell and couldn't be happier. The face that they make their own TPU case for the extended battery was the deciding factor. Loving the battery so far, this thing is a beast.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pvcdroid:
Agree and have the two set 2100s with external charger from them too. The external charger that comes with the two 2100 set, fully charges the 4200 extended battery as well. Blue and while battery backs with the black extended TPU case is nice. The white/black combo on a blue phone is my current choice. NFC works well on these too. Looking for a kickstand case for the extended battery without any luck.

It's nice to use the slim batteries during the week and the extended on the weekend. Never have to worry about finding a charger most days and keep extra fully charged batteries handy including the original Samsung. Can't imagine having a non accessible battery phone now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cletusarrarr:
these are on sale now on amazon for the case battery combo for just $16.99 quite an awesome deal IMO :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atman8r:
Link pleaseee?

Edit: i purchased the last one in stock;}
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zimerman:
I bought Zerolemon for my Samsung Galaxy S3 that is claimed as the highest power extended battery for Galaxy S3. It is logic the power is 7000 mAh, it is same as power used for tablet. Yes. Although the price is different with QCell X-Life NFC 4200mah but the power is also far different.

I'm running speed rom and holo locker as my lock screen, the only thing is when I'm texting or typing the multi touch bugs out. I think it's holo locker that causes it.

3rd party lockscreens cause multi touch issues. use widget locker and check "retain system keyguard" under advanced settings. problem solved :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] alobear:
yeah I remember there was an app that would cause that a long time ago, but I didn't know it was all third party launchers. thanks! ;D
