hello

can anyonde please clarify:

do i need to use backcovers that are supplied with the battery ? is the battery larger ? or can i use original flip cover?

regards
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akamajic:
You cannot use the stock back door with any of these extended batteries. Yes, the batteries are physically larger. View the pictures the OP has posted.

Use app like Screebl. It awesome. Let's u use 15 seconds as timeout but stays on all the time when phone in upright position. Check it out

This isn't a super proper test but I tried to keep it draining when I could since last night with my new Anker 4400mah battery on Crimson v4 running zaventh kernel.

Ridiculous screen on time!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] digitalfiend:
Now *that* is cool. It's rare that I dig the aesthetics of a stock phone, but I love my s3 stock form. I'm hesitant about impacting it's size, weight, and aesthetics. This idea of coordinating the color of the front and back is *very* appealing to me because at least the phone will look halfway decent.

I'm curious about a couple of things...can you tell us if both these cases wrap around the edges of the phone?

Besides the aesthetics, can you share how well you like the cases and how well they protect the phone?

Re: [Added Poll for next test]Ultimate Battery List with Cases for Extended batteries

I'd probably only use something that covers up the screen, not the whole face. The rubber part of the active case has a lip over the sides of the phone. Yes, you need the seidio cover. I tried it with the anker cover and it was just a tad too big.

I have used the combination of the Hyperion 4200 with the Seidio back cover and it has worked out well. It was $52 at the end of the day when you include shipping.

Re: [Added Poll for next test]Ultimate Battery List with Cases for Extended batteries

For the people saying the 6300mah battery is best. Have you seen how disgustingly big it is? I like having a big battery but I don't want a full bkown giant brick as a phone. Using the seidio battery cover allows me to keep my phone still looking somewhat nice. Ill still test the battery since there seems to be a lot of interest in the battery.

As for the full updates on the review on jelly bean, it might take a while for me since school started. Ill have to retest 1 battery at a time every saturday.

Re: [Added Poll for next test]Ultimate Battery List with Cases for Extended batteries

Post your screen times. I can get 6-7 days with my hyperion if I dont use it. Screen time is what matters.

I would hope so. But, looking at screen times from users of this "largest battery" it seems to be kind of low. Around 6-7. I've seem some people get 8 hrs with the hyperion. I'm pretty sure I could pull off a 9 hr with the Mugen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JOLiu:
A number of you have reported purchasing the Seidio back cover w/ the Hyperion/Anker, etc. extended battery.

I've got a few newb-type questions:

(1) is there a reason why you purchase the Seidio back cover? On Amazon, the Anker and Hyperion batteries appear to already come w/ a back cover. What makes the Seidio back cover special that you'd purchase it separately?

(2) Has anyone measured how much bigger the phone becomes when you include the extended battery w/ back cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Black Adam:
The Hyperion back cover is made of cheap plastic and looks very ugly and slippery. The seidio cover is sleeker and feels rubberized so that it doesn't slip out of your hand as easily.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AggieChris:
With the zero lemon I have been averaging about 10-11 hours screen time.

Check out the screen shots from the thread, I fgo ttimes similar to these.

Or this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37305773&postcount=116

A lot of the screen shots posted that are less screen time, aren't taken all the way down to zero, and because of the lack of calibration it seems that it takes a long time to go from 10%-0%.

Like this one:

http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=37694035

Still has 8% left with 8 hours screen time+

Or this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37252702&postcount=99

7% left 8 hours screen time

If you take those down to zero i bet you can get at least another hour.

But it isn't only screen time that matters. It's cpu use, and standby time.

If your using CPU intensive processes it will use more power, create more heat and drain faster.

That's why bench-marking is so important, (don't ask me to do it, i just don't want to put my battery through that heat stress:D).

On a side note:

I would like to compare the thickness of the Zerolemon to a Hyperion or Mugen extended battery with a protective case.

If you have one them could you bust out the calipers or a ruler and post dimensions of your battery plus protective case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
The case that comes with the Zerolemon battery is not very good and caused me to return the battery. You might want to keep in mind that a lot of people have been complaining about the fit of the case and that there are no alternatives available, before buying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ikcud:
I wonder if anyone would start making a replica of the Offical version of the Samsung s3 3000 mah. The price isn't worth it atm.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
The Zerolemon set up is not thinner than the Hyperion, Q-Cell or Anker. If there's any difference either way, it's not even noticeable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demandarin:
someone link me to this Zero lemon. seems like way back when i first heard about it, no one had it. now it seems like people are using it and even got 13hrs. on screentime. now thats entycing. i may give it a go. whats the deal or complaints with its case? anyone has pixI?

i found the link http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Ext...ible-GT-i9300/dp/B00AKZWGAC/ref=pd_sim_cps_19

with the way jellybean is draining battery faster, this might come in handy. im still rocking my hyperion 4200mAh but i havent seen that near 9hr. onscreen time since i updated to jellybean. im leary of even going back to stock battery with the way jellybean speeds up battery usage.

can the seido case fit on the back with zero lemon battery? would love to see more screenshots showing this amazing onscreen time. thatd be perfect for the mobile gamer or web surfer.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

when i first got mines, i did. follow those instructions for best results. it does improve as you get closer to end of all those cycles. just restrain yourself from wanting to hook it up to charger if its not low enough yet. needs to be about 5-10% before you should charge it again. IMO, breaking in these batteries does make a difference in longevity of battery life.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

do they make the zero lemon for galaxy note2 also? thats likely going to be my next phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AggieChris:
It's hard to believe until someone submits some measurements.

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but without some hard dimensions, it's hard to compare.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
I had the Zerolemon and compared it to the thickness of my Anker with the case on. It would take a set of calipers to measure the difference.

I've got the gorilla gadgets 4500 I'm on the second cycle so far, I've got 24 hrs up time 3 hrs screen time and 50% battery left! The back door fits very well, the phone actually feels great in my hand. If you just need to make it through a full day without charging I would very this battery, unless of course you're one of the people on here that need 8+hrs of screen on time before they go running for a charger. I myself don't have more than 2 hrs/day of free time for anything. Not bashing those that do just saying that I just don't have the time to spend on it.

I'm not 100% sure but there ICS seems to have better battery life compared to JB. I can't be too sure because I clock my CPU a bit higher when conducting tests to speed up the testing times.

I dont see any note of NFC on it, but I think I've used NFC 2 or 3 times since launch of S3 as nobody around here even knows what NFC is.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] cnlson:
Re: [UPDATE Yesoo4300 coming soon]Ultimate Battery List with Cases for Extended batte

It would have to be. To make these larger battery they stack batteries, so a 4200mah is 2 2100mah stacked a 6300mah is 3. This is 3 2000mah cells and it is also 3.7v rather than 3.8v so it isn't going to last 3x the stock battery. The price seems low given 2 batteries, a charger, and cover.
