How many charge cycles do u guys think it took for u to see the true full performance of this battery?

There's no need to do the old school charge-discharge cycling. Charge it up very well the first time and just ignore that whole battery percentage readout for a while.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Yeah, no more "oh crap I only have 50% battery left" moments before you head out the door... The Note2 has good battery life to begin with, and the ZL is a legit accessory :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] d12unk13astard:
And another 1..

Battery life just keeps getting better
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Holy ****. I can't manage that. Only like 12 to 14 hours screen on time. And 2 days on battery. What are you doing. I play games. And use the mwdia server like crazy. I typically get about 2 days worth of battery, half a day off screen on time, and half a day of the media server being used I will use tune in radio at night till morning. As well as watching YouTube videos throughout the day. And using chrome to go on MemeCenter or failblog and various sites for work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dippedattache:
i think my original battery is enough lol lasts me 2 days 4-6 hours screen on time....this may be helpful for a vocation where there's no power

yeah, if nothing else, for 39 bucks, you have an emergency back up for your phone, that will last 3-5 days depending on how you use it...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bioslayer:
OK so any tips or tricks to get this crazy screen on times. I get about 12hrs.... I'm not complaining there are lots of things that make poor battery life possible but seriously 1day screen on is redic.....I want that lol. Just so I can say I can. I'm running beans 16 Perseus kernel (not undervolted or overclocked) yet) I use better Wi-Fi and auto data to just help out with connections and generally use auto brightness.... No motion stuff and location services not on and still don't get over 12hrs screen on time. I'm very pleased with this battery but just want the crazy numbers to satisfy the addiction

All I know is that since I updated my phone with the latest update (LTE) my battery is terrible!

I NEVER ran out of battery before. Tonight my phone actually shut itself off while I was out... with less than 2 hours screen time! And this is with LTE turned off.

I am putting in the zero lemon to charge tonight but I am not looking forward to watching it drain without knowing what the heck is going on. I know I'm not going to get the good times like everyone else or like I would have just last week.

Frustrated.

My times have been outstanding. There's something else going on with your device than that update. Download Carat from the market and run it every day for a week to find the culprit.

They were fine up until I updated. Then immediately nosedived. No new apps nothing. Blah. This is very frustrating. I thought I was fine with battery worries.

At least the zero lemon will last the day. Hopefully I can get this figured out.

*edit*

btw the terrible times have been with my stock battery. I just got my zero lemon today and it's charging as I type. but before the update I had awesome battery life just like "normal". I knew I should have just ignored the update a few more months. :-\ or maybe forever.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] d12unk13astard:
No secret really, im using macksrom plainjane with latest perseus kernel 200min 1200max (really no need for any faster) screen brightness 40% light calls medium texts, watch a few videos and play games. Didnt use gps on that run, im sure battery wouldn't have lasted if I ran it too long.

I did do a stress test my 3rd charge cycle with 100% brightness 1800min/1800max perseus kernel and still got a solid 2 days battery life with 14 hrs screen on! This zero lemon is the best battery ever made and I sure as **** hope they continue making these batteries for future flagship phones.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Stock TW not sure whats this "PowerManagerService" crap however its making my phone stay on 24/7. NO OC, NO UV, Completely stock.

Mediafire link is last screenshot. i installed BBB around 3 hours prior of my battery dying. so i'd assume if it kept it for 3 hours being awake it did the whole time before.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ppn7:
I think powermanager = media server in your case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
why wouldn't it have kept my phone on just for time being like it says under media server only ~6Hours? VS being on all the damn time lol.

very interesting, i think i buy it. :p
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Achayan:
when are they going to come out with a stand alone charger for the zerolemon ?:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drnihili:
Keep your brightness down, gps and unnecessary stuff off, use the power saving mode. Then do something with your phone that keeps the screen on but doesn't use a lot of other power. I had Photo Slides Lite running for most of my day and a half of screen time.

Honestly, you won't get that kind of screen time if you're at full brightness and are actually using your phone a lot.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
Look under vectron's reviews for the charger he uses, I did the same thing. Just use a dremel to cut the lip so the ZL will fit and use a 2 amp wall plug.

Need it but they dont ship to India:(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Achayan:
Saw Vectron's when he posted it . But I am waiting for one from zerolemon . On amazon they are planning to come out with one for the S4 ie battery plus free charger . I think its going to be a 3 amps or 3.1 as per their numbering . The Amazon link shows as unavailable now . I am waiting for the note 2 charger from zerolemon .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LBJM:
What version(carrier) of the note 2 are you using? Also are you using a custom rom?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] planetbeen:
T-Mobile.

It's definitely strange. First day after y update was bad. Next day was normal. Next few days horrible.

I haven't figured out what's doing it but it doesn't seem to be doing it now.

Using zero lemon... And it's lasting as expected.

23hrs 35mins with about 4 he's 20mins screen time and I'm at 69%.

This sure beats worrying about battery!

I agree. "Conditioning" the battery is the biggest BS story I keep hearing over and over. It actually damages the

Lithium Ion batteries to fully discharge them fully.

Actually I do at least one or two actual full charges and discharges because I saw a much better improvement over the third full cycle.

You can go so far for instance my last cycle I was at 3 percent at 10 in the morning and use GPS and traveled half an hour away got back home but still on it throughout the whole time. Playing games and browsing XDA and YouTube and was still at 3 percent which was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon it's almost like as soon as it hits 15 percent it takes a huge time to freaking die which is essentially really good for times in need of a charger and you don't have to worry about that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] planetbeen:
Well I hope so because I didn't do it. Im getting ready for work now at 12% still. I decided to see what happens.

How long does this thing take to charge up from 2%? I will be using my regular OEM white Samsung charger that came with then phone.... Can't remember what people have said and I don't have time to keep searching the 2 threads. Don't want to be late for work!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JustusIV:
Is anyone else having an issue similar to this....I own a 9300 however it causes massive interference with my signal. Nearly unusable it's so bad. Took me a week to figure out it was the battery with all my Rom modem flashing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] e46tuning:
My signal is fine...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Thinking it through, what is the likelihood that the battery is creating the problem rather than rom flashing?

I can't imagine that a battery would cause massive interference unless it was made out of solid aluminum.

Heeelllppp!!

It's 2:15 it's still on the charger. I have moved it to directly plug it into the wall. (it was on an extension cord that the smart dock has always been plugged into but I got superstitious and moved it.

It's been charging for almost 12 hours now and it still looks like it's at 90%. I'm giving up and going out now and leaving the phone home! :((

It's almost as if it thinks its charging usb instead of a/c.

What do I do? :(

Blah.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
If you're not rooted, root your phone, download cleanrom and get perseus kernel. then change your perseus kernel power settings so you can have a fast charge.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
they just link you to Amazon so your in the UK so it auto-directs you to the UK version. would happen to the same if i were in France, Germany, etc...

They said they do ship to Either USA or UK however im probably thinking that they haven't started to ship outside of the USA right now email them @ info@zerolemon.com
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
I have, I got the same response someone here got earlier about them not having anything for sale at the moment.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Planetbeen, I think your charger has coincidentally started shutting down. That, or you could have a flaky USB board connection at the bottom of the phone. I've seen a lot of folks bring this up about their note2's, lots of chargers and cables going bad. Here's my advice- go to amazon and get a nice mediabridge cable:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004GF8TIK/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1369528059&sr=8-9&pi=SL75

I know that monoprice has quality cables for cheaper, but this has been my go to cable for a couple years now with all my android devices. Also, pick up another wall charger. Mediabridge and Anker make nice units. If you can't tell, I'm a huge fan of mediabridge products :D Trust me, you'll love their cable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cliq:
You can also buy from the US like I did. I'm a happy user in the EU ;)

Posted in the other thread but in case UK residents missed it, I ordered from Amazon UK this morning. Using the link from zl shows page with no buy link but if you just go to Amazon and search zerolemon it's 'buyable' from the last result in the list. Supposedly in stock so I'll wait and see if it turns up in a few days (went for free delivery since I'm not in a hurry) but order status says dispatching soon.

Link here showing in stock:

So has anyone modded the NFC onto it yet?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
Yeah, I'm not sure how I'm going to make it hit the pins yet though. Maybe put something under the tape where the pins are that is soft and springy, not sure what I could use though. Something like Blu-Tack? Lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
Why not just make a fold or two in the tape?

I'm planning on just bending the solder into the pins, taping it down, and taping it onto the contacts on the NFC sticker to make putting the case on easier.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
I got mine today! Booyah! :highfive:

EDIT:

It's my first charge and my battery indicator has stayed at 100% and still charging for about an hour now.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ppn7:
Yes
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
Yes, and your phone will tell you when its completely charged.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
Yeah I could make the NFC antenna permanently attached to the ribbon, so it can just rest inside the case.

I didn't realise this TPU case was the back cover, I guess that's a good thing as it means it can be stretched slightly to allow room for the NFC.

Can't do any of this till at least midnight though as it is charging lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
I'm not that stupid, sir.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
Anyone here on an AOSP ROM?

Mine says charged after only 4-5 hours.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Dude there are so many factors, wake locks, exactly which custom ROM are you running? Are you running a custom kernel? Do you have anything on auto Sync? Any apps that run notifications?

You just can't be so bland about that, you need to be specific so most of us can help you out.

Relax, never said you were stupid. I was just answering your concern.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] itikhvin:
This battery is useless without a proper external charger... I mean, I can certainly charge it in the phone... but what if I need to use the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
UltimatumKang.

Galaxy Charging Current was reporting around 1700mA, now it is reporting 0 for "now".
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Then use it, what's the issue? If you charge it once in a while, I like overnight every other day or so, you always have plenty of capacity to play with. There's no benefit to draining to zero every time, in fact, it can damage the battery over time, though the protection board will keep you from doing anything really bad to it. You can also unplug to use it for a while, then plug back in if you wish. Or use it while charging. It will make the charge go slower, but that's okay.

I don't have an external charger, and don't see the need. If you do, there are options out there, if you're willing to mod a little. If not, ZL has said they are looking into it. That might mean they will offer one eventually.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] planetbeen:
I was only able to do one full charge discharge cycle before it was time for my trip.

Monday night I was down to around 26% but didn't have time to get any further because I needed it full for yesterday....all day flying. So I charged it back up from there.

Last night I couldn't decide what to do...I was just around 50% but not sure what we are doing today...so around 40 something I plugged it in. I was in a bit of a daze after such a long trip I forgot that I had decided to just let it go and bring the OEM for backup.

I know these batteries are not supposed to have a memory and all that good stuff but everyone still seems to be trying to follow the paper that came with the battery that says to do 3 full charge discharge cycles...

Is it really going to do anything different? I'm back up to 85% since my dazed decision to plug in a little while ago....

Other than not being able to get "official" stats on my battery usage...will it hurt?
