[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
That's weird. I'd flash a different ROM and see if it works then. I have no idea why it would power up and skip the lock screen.

For the phones calls I'd think may e it messed up the SIM reader. Maybe its fitting in there funny now, or maybe its broken altogether. Maybe a fresh install of something would alleviate some symptoms and give us a clue as to what really is going on.

You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.

Hmmm, Samsung accessory coming soon - I shan't hold my breath. Maybe next year's Christmas list.......
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Meraklis56:
still waiting for wireless charging dock...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Haha me too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
So what do you guys think are the chances that the 3000mah battery fits under the stock battery cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BuddyJoe83:
Hope they release a garnet red flip cover...I haven't come across any at least
[Galaxy S III Accessories] donovanx3:
Like 0% but I hope I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
Unless they use some kind of new technology lol.

The cover and the battery sit pretty much flush now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] donovanx3:
Yeah and they're never going to be putting new technology into a now "old" phone. I can almost guarantee that it will be larger but i doubt it will look anything close to the size of the Hyperion 4200.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] airman410:
Hooooly crap, this would be awesome!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] uf21:
Yeh, way too big, I bought a cheap asian 4300mah battery for $9 and it was just to chunky, now I'm back to stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scorchedsky:
3000 mAh sounds great, pushes us into razr maxx territory. Hope it's not as thick as the 4000 mAh batteries
[Galaxy S III Accessories] baberswallet:
It would be great if it fit flush
[Galaxy S III Accessories] darkphantom:
This thing definitely looks tempting!

I blame Samsung... Retailer can't sell it if they don't have the supply.... Probably get my S4 before this thing comes to market.

I got a new email from Mobile Fun a few minutes ago:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DonHuan:
I don't understand Samsung! They could make a lot of money if they started selling this battery immediately after the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Maroon Mushroom:
February 15? Time to find another alternative extended battery
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
For an OEM battery, I can wait another month :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] R3XNebular:
Same here. Not to fussed. Battery life does last me a day. But I would like it to last two if I forget or heavily use my phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AB33:
To be honest, my 4200 Hyperion ($25) extended battery with the Seidio back cover ($14) that I bought still fit in my leather belt side cases and pocket. I am sure it will be close to the depth of the Samsung 3000 battery with 1200 mah.

Sent from TMO GS3 via TapaTalk
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robogo1982:
I'm seriously thinking about the spare battery + desk charger option.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Red Rover:
I bought a Hyperion 2200 MaH and dock with extra battery slot rather than going with an extended battery. I am using the Hyperion as the primary battery since it has a little more capacity. I am finding the battery life is good enough that I have yet to need to swap in the middle of the day. I do use the function a friend showed me of frequently long pressing the SG3 home button and manually swiping off the apps that are runing, like a manual task killer.

With my EVO 4G the battery was horrible so the Seidio extended battery and case were necessary. I decided to try and stay thin with the GS3 and so far I have really enjoyed it.

I keep GPS on all the time, and generally don't have wifi or bluetooth on. I am running a live wallpaper in wpclock2 but did not enable animations so it doesn't use much juice. In the car I have the iBolt car dock and the speaker phone works well enough that I don't need a bluetooth device to talk hands free.

I also move from car to desk to car frequently at work and I am just used to keeping a charger at those locations and plugging in. Once I cycled the batteries from full charge to 5% several times I now "top off" the charge when I can. I am enjoying the thin feel and the cases like the DBA Ultra that protect without adding much bulk. I may not be skinny, but my phone is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atilla88:
Had the extended battery on my s2 and it was great but with the s3 sammy just fails.

It will be mid 2013 until the extended battery comes in sapphire black

There isn't even an samsung flip cover in black for the stock galaxy s3 available.

Its a shame 6 flip cover colors but no black one

Every phone i buy from samsung i lose my interest in their products a little bit more.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cell128:
Doesn't that 50% off coupon expire after this month? Maybe they don't want to offer the extended battery at a discounted price so they are delaying it until everyone's 50% off coupon code expires. I might just get the spare battery with desktop charger for 25$ if that's the case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] walox:
I hope this battery arrive to chile :(

You mean they haven't made sapphire black flip cover or it's hard to find?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rafa9201:
i hope that battery works with gs3 otterbox armor series
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atilla88:
Haven't made it........
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MartinP.:
No, it can't be true. I think it's just hard to find. Look at the Samsung UK online store and search a number EFC-1G6FSECSTD (of course you can't purchase to Germany but I think in your country must be kind of supplier). I went to the shop yesterday (in Poland) and they told me they sold out all of black flip covers but maybe next week will be more of it.

Also look at the Australian Samsung page or search in google EB-K1G6USUGSTD (first link) they have extended battery with black cover almost ready for sale.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atilla88:
Saw the extended battery with black cover today at mobilefun.de ,was a little bit surprised but i'm happy that i haven't to wait until 2014 for the black one :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MartinP.:
That's nice. It's a shame we have to chose bigger battery or flip cover.

what's the deal with the ones on amazon.de--what does it come with and are they in stock? i have a friend who lives in germany and says he'll buy it and ship it to me as a gift. should i do it? i can't read german and google translate isn't doing a good job of deciphering what this includes, but i hope i just get the battery and case (no flip cover thing). i wonder if my stock tpu case will fit?

this battery is going to be an urban legend im afraid:( no news form mobilefun.uk about release date. they said in their last e-maill for 11th february but not
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Obi-man:
It's an awesome battery, but your phone becomes so bulky. I like how small the S3 is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
If you think this battery is thick, you should see the ones we are dealing with now :D

I hope this does not become vaporware....it doesn't sound like it will be available in the U.S., but I am hopeful we can at least order it overseas....having said that, finding a case that will fit will become another challenge in and of itself...

Chris
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Swiftks:
Yeah... Last email from Mobil.fun said they would have stock by the 11th. I emailed them today and told them to cancel my order. I mean what's the point of getting a new battery, when in a couple of months I'll have a whole new phone; being the SIV. Way to drop the ball Samsung...

On a separate note, I hear the SIV is going to be coming with wireless charging.... geee, where have I heard that before. :rolleyes:

Any updates? I was going to use my Samsung 50% off coupon on it. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Mobilefun says due to 2-3 weeks, which claims they don't know a thing. They have given all kinds of dates but none were accurate. The last date they mentioned was 28 february.

Ill tweet,facebook and mail them the question.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
so does anyone in the world have this product at all? for a time i thought this was being sold in UK and Germany, but not sure if that was just a rumor or not. obviously someone had one in that video posted...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
I dont think so.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blakamin:
Well I finally changed my order at mobilefun and they screwed it. Ordered the 4600mAh mugen. First they overcharged me, then they lost my payment. A week later and it still hasn't shipped.

Needless to say, I won't be using them again!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lak100:
this battery is going to be an urban legend
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Diamond 2 owner:
exactly the same like Samsung's Wireless Charging Kit for S3 promised for September last year

I don't get it, why these items were not available at day 1. there are not super hi-tech products requiring extreme engineering or huge investments. it is just bigger battery with thicker cover, and wireless charging is known since Palm Pre times.

they sold over 60M of S3, so there is huge amount of potential buyers for these accessories. for sure margin for accessories is much higher than phones.

why the hell Samsung is trying to make S3s much less attractive by delaying these items??? are they afraid to have too good product and too dominant market position? or is it part of planned obsolence to save enough demand for S4?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Has anyone called Samsung and asked?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Over at amazon.de I had pre-ordered it when it showed up late last year. It kept getting delayed and while the amazon is quoting Feb 28 on the product page, my order page says, "ESTIMATED SHIPPING DATE 13th March 2013 - 15 May 2013"

There you go. Doesn't look so good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] daniel_costa_rj:
I BOUGHT this batteries from http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/.

But since January I didn't receive this because samsung do not send the product for them.

They told me that in 08 of march. So still waiting for it. $64,00.

It doesn't appear that the Amazon seller is in the US, even though their name includes "USA". If you look at their shipping times for US deliveries they say 3-4 weeks for everything.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] MaverickCoast:
Don't understand the excitement here

You can get other batteries with a crap load more lasting power than this battery. From what I can see in the picture, the back of the phone will have to be replaced by one that accepts a bigger battery. If you're going to do that, why not get a battery that has more power?

I bought a 4500mAh battery from Gorilla Gadgets and love it. Just ordered a ZeroLemon 7000mAh Extended Battery you can find here. It's even less than the battery you're talking about!

I thought I would never install a battery that increases the size of my phone, but I'm glad I did!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
not sure how much you've been reading this thread or any of the product descriptions for this battery, but it comes with an OEM larger backing plate. the only thing this doesn't have is an additional case, but i'm sure those will be available in due time.

my preference for this battery over any of the other larger batteries is that the others are way, way, way too bulky. plus the stock battery gets it done for me most of the time, unless i'm on vacation or playing a lot of golf and using GPS obsessively. those instances have been frequent as of late, so me want this battery. 4200+mah is overkill for my application.

lastly, the cost is really not a big deal. we're talking $30ish more to get a slimmer extended battery and one that is OEM. it seems like a no brainer to me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
This. And i dont neet my s3 to become franknstein with a 7000 mah monsterious battery.

Great to hear these are finally starting to ship, the next question is how we protect the phone with the extended battery...

Ordered mine for thirty quid from ebay. The blue one. It should arrive in a couple of days.

It actually is the best option out there in terms of looks. I actually think itll make the phone look better.

Most likely I'll have to wait ages for this new battery to arrive in my country..

Will get it from a foreign site as soon as I'm able though :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atilla88:
Maybe because most of these batteries don't even have half of their mentioned power.maybe because they are made out of ass and lose their power in use.maybe because if a crappy ebay battery explodes in your 600 euro smartphone you lose your warranty on it.

But who knows

Mine from Amazon is now reported as shipped but still on the SpaceX Dragon capsule. Re-entry schedule between 3/28 - 4/10. I also heard from seller. Although in USA they launch from UK. Does give me a whole month for someone to develop and make armor for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
For now, I'm going to try a 'hybrid' combination of the following:

Black TPU 'bumper' case:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271064601225?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Carbon Fiber skin/decal for back panel:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y22D5Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know the battery thread mentioned a $50+ aluminum bumper that would fit, but there's no way I'm paying that much nor would I want a aluminum bumper -- you need something with rubber to protect the phone if it drops.

I have no idea if this combo will work, but we'll see. I'd be curious to see what others are thinking. I don't want to bulk up the phone with an Otterbox or Trident case.
