or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?

or if you want the best slim battery? etc...

has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SadieNibblesworth:
Hey over there,

I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.

I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.

For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").

Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.

(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).

Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:

1. It needs to be filled often.

2. It needs to be emptied often.

3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.

4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).

Hoppingfully yours,

--SLN

I'm hoping it's fantastic! I'm sick of my battery not making it through an 8 hour shift at work with brightness as low as it will go. I'm just too heavy of a user. I'll gladly take the added bulk for 6+ hours of on screen time at half brightness! I think I deserve to have it set higher than as low as it will go and still be able to use my phone for extended periods of time without watching the percentage drop by 2-3% at a time.

I bought a Hyperion battery with NFC. Love it! But I read in that previously linked Phandroid article that most backcovers do not include the NFC pickups. I had no idea that was required!!!

I am using the Seidio Active Extended case, but the Hyperion back cover was incompatible with the case, so I just left it off. But now I noticed NFC doesn't work! Maybe I shouldn't care, since it took me this long to figure out I didn't have NFC. Any recommendations? A way to "hotwire" NFC?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dlhs3:
make it easy for yourself

Make it easy for yourself, I don't want to modify the look because of all the covers and cases I have and got a gold 3250 milliamp battery off ebay, they are not expensive so you can buy two, heavy user buy three, I am amazed at the the time I get out of it .like someone said previously I also don't use a charger on my phone anymore but quickly swap them out. The original factory battery has empty spots in it that others make use of to get amperage out.

Nfc is in the battery. I use my hyperion with the seidio battery door with the seidio case and my nfc works fine
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pvcdroid:
Happy with the QCELL brand and have two 2100 standard and a 4200 extended battery. The 2100 set of two comes with a good external charger that works for the 4200 extended battery as well. NFC works well on both battery sizes. The 4200 comes with white and blue battery backs. The black QCELL TPU case for the 4200 looks and feels great. I have the white battery back on my blue phone with the black TPU case. Looks great. Ha! No problems with any of the batteries so far (two months) and the 4200 will last 1.5 days with heavy use. Can't figure out why so many are recommending batteries that don't have NFC but have four S3s in the family and use it often. Stay away from eBay on these batteries. Not worth it to save a few bucks.

The Andora or generic kickstand cases are great for the normal size batteries and wish there was an extended kickstand case for the larger batteries.

After having this flexibility with swapping out batteries as needed, I would never think of owning a phone that can't. It seems that most new phones are going that way now which is a distressing trend.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Croontje:
Just wondering. Doesn't the back cover get damaged by the swapping every day? I can imagine that the little clips on the back cover start to wear out...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevz65:
I've recieved my anker and from first use I got to 6h screentime with 29% remaining which is quite good. It does add loads of bulk to the phone though unfortunately but its a trade off between looks and usage.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndrewH05:
I got roughly the same on my first cycle, make sure you completely cycle from 100%-0% at least a couple times before doing any bump charging. Here's my 3rd cycle, if I hadn't used a battery drain app for the last 55% I would have gotten well over 9 hours, maybe even 10.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonathanyong:
I also just received my Anker 4400 (non nfc) and I can't believe how good it is! 40+ hours with over 9 hours screen on time.

Battery life screenshots below. Notice I still have 11% left too! This is using the null 13 rom with the cpu overclocked to 1600mhz, GPU to 533mhz, CPU undervolted by 75mV, brightness at 50%, location history and reporting turned OFF, Syncing enabled, GPS enabled, Bluetooth enabled, WIFI + mobile data enabled, power saving mode OFF.

Phone has been used for mostly Tapatalk / web browsing / andro mouse control - so it's all relatively light CPU usage wise but I'm absolutely thrilled with it. Also, this is the first charge.

ExtendedBattery forGalaxy SIII

I bought a Battery from Anker, 4400mAh with special backside. makes the phone thicker ( all about 15 mm instead of nine), it´s very stable, lasts ca. the double time of the stock battery (64 hours with normal use fo rme) and the back cover fits almost better than the original one. Bought it by Amazon for 18 €.

I bought one, it fits the normal case but it´s output is 4.35 volt, so for me it did not work. Coud´nt even load it. I think it´s a Fake, better don´t buy it.

Slim profile, so you don't need to buy a bulkier case. In fact, I think these batteries are the highest capacity you can find that still fit inside the stock, plastic phone backing.

Comes with a wall/USB charger to ensure your spare is ready when you need it.

The only downside is (I think) they aren't compatible with NFC, but I'm alright with that; I never use the feature.

But when i run internet explorer at tablet (any site), it keeps redirecting me to vodafone's prepaid mobile internet card site!!

I can't browse at all.

I test the same thing with an xperia ray (android v4) with the same carrier and worked just fine.

i talked to vadafone customer support and they couldnt help at all. (I believe that option is locked somehow by vodafone )

After that i succesfully rooted my phone, but the problem is still here..

i don't know what to do next.

I dont want to switch to custom rom yet because i read that there are lot of bugs.

Any ideas??

plz help!!
