Why are you rebooting?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Well today i went into recovery and installed noozxoide and a sound mod. I also installled an xposed module and had to reboot. Its hard for me not to change things on my phone for 6 days straight. I love tinkering and trying different mods. But i guess im going to have to. I just dont remember my stock battery resetimg on boot like this.

So far on my first charge cycle. I'm at 3 days already and still have 17 % left. Screen is at at about 90% brightness and in comparison to my OEM battery, that lasted a good 15 - 16 hours easily.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sEiNZu:
Anyone had trouble with the tpu case? Seems mine is just a tad to wide. The battery seems not to get a good contact with the phone. Fixed it myself but i dont like it that much.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
My battery actually fits so tight I had to fenagle it in. I can walk around without a cover and it won't come out. I have to almost pry it out. I guess theres a little error margin in the build just enough to make some tighter than others.

If your not happy contact them and I'm sure you will have a new battery shipped to you quickly. Good luck.

Anyone have problems with this battery not lasting as long over time? The first month or so I had it, it lasted 3-4 days easily. Now after two months it barely lasts 2 days.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chadastrophic:
I judge my battery life by screen on time, I routinely see over 16 hours of screen on time and I got the battery when first released. I have seen no loss in performance that I can judge.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sfsilicon:
Are you running stock or using a custom ROM / Kernel. I recently switched over to Jedimaster 14 and latest Perseus Kernel, because I was not happy with my ZL runtime (~2d). JM14+Perseus Kernel is running a bit better, but my screen on time continues to be the biggest battery drain. My first run with my new set-up is almost done. I'm at sub 10% with close to 16h screen time and 2d 6h run time. This is no where close to my wife's SGS3 with ZL. I'm guessing the SGS3's Amoled allows for a lot less battery consumption.

Any tips to decrease screen power consumption? I didn't seem to get a lot of difference between Auto brightness and full brightness. I'm planning to try a low brightness run next.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
See it all just really depends I mean my battery will last me a day if my screen is been on for a long time or playing games, watching movies, overclocking, etc...

I have had mine for a while. All battery's will differ a tad bit, however if you abuse it don't ask for longevity.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chadastrophic:
CM nightly 5/29 with included kernels.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] baileyjr:
Greenify the maps app, and facebook if you have it, and you will save 10-15% right there.

Screen is always the biggest drain, not real any solution other than to get a smaller screen :D Area wise the S3 has a much smaller screen than the note 2. Roll on IGZO displays.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ppn7:
Hope next androphone will get soon igzo display. Before apple get it... it make so long time to get some news about this type of display

I had a 6400mAh i-Go explode a year ago -- definitely wasn't cool :/
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amd4life:
Same effect here, first two month 3.5 days heavy use, 90% brightness

now 2 days max and I have to turn the screen down to about 60-75%

I may might send mine back and have them check it out, seems mine is dying at a less than optimum rate these days
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Mine too. Im about a month and a half in im guessing right now and I notice the same difference as you guys. I was thinking it may be do to the incorrect readings still...so I calibrated it and same result. I even tryed three different kernels and same result.

I'm thinking about getting the battery but I'm not sure. For you people that have it, how long does it take to charge from like 10% back to full charge?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Mine is around 6-8hrs. Hard for me to tell because I plug in at night around 11 and at 7am its full. So it could be 5 im not sure but no more than 8 for me with 2.1a charger.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
That's the answer I was looking for. I was hoping it would be fully charged when I wake up n it looks like it will. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I think I know the answer to this but I'm gonna ask it anyways....

So I just ordered this off of amazon and I paid $9 (ouch) to get it for Saturday delivery with amazon prime. Now Saturdays are typically busy for me so I won't be able to stay near a charger for 12 hours. Two questions

1) can I use it, try to drain it down to about 10% n then charge it back up?

Or

2) I have a wall battery charger. Can I connect it to that (if it fits) while I'm gone and at the end of the night, put the battery in my phone and continue charging it? I know those wall chargers take forever to charge. Mines takes 8+ hours to charge a standard 3100mAh battery so I can't imagine how long it would take to charge the zero lemon battery. Thanks guys for any help
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
I used and drained mine but read the instructions I think it says ti charge it first...I didnt...for wall chargers yours probably wont work because the lemon battery prongs are on the opposite side.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
It will probably come about 50% charged. You can just use it till it's convenient to charge it up later. Don't worry about doing the whole drain/charge cycles thing. People say to do it to "calibrate" Android, but the developers at Google say it does nothing other than wear your battery. I think I'll trust them over random "people", including battery makers. After all, who benefits if you wear down your battery a little? I doubt it's really anything nefarious on ZLs part, they are likely just repeating it. Perhaps even just to shut people up about it. :D The amount of wear on the battery cells is small per time you do it, so it's not a big issue.

If it takes the wall charger that long for a standard battery, it's pretty pointless to use it on the ZL. Expect about 3x as long for the ZL on it. So if you can leave it for a really long time, it's fine. Should it actually fit in there. The shape of the battery makes it not fit in many of them. There's another thread that has some pics of what had to be modified on the charger to make it fit properly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
What ^^ he said!

Ignore anyone who advices you to drain the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Thanks. I got it today and the TPU case is really better than I thought. I might use it throughout the day and at night before I go to work, I'll leave it charging on the wall charger til I get home from work and I'll charge it through my phone when I get home. Seeing how slow the wall charger charges, charging it through my phone while I sleep should make up for those 12 hours ZL tells you to charge it lol so far I'm loving this guys. I don't know why I waited so long to get this
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
For those with the battery, was your first charge bad? I just hit 24hrs but I'm at 50% with 7 hours of onscreen time and I was of LTE most 99% of the time. Am I good?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Your fine...first few charges dont pay too much attention to the %. It will likely be eratic. Mine went from 100 to 90 in 10 minutes then 90 to 50 in a day then 50 to 5 really slow. So dont worry you should be fine. I also installed battery calibrator from playstore and calibrated it but I also changed roms thats why I did. It cant hurt tho.

Its funny my battery would say 80% then I would boot into recovery and it would say 87% in recovery. Weird but your ok. GL

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Ive had this battery for at least 6-8 weeks now and probably about 20 charge cycles. My percantage is still a little erratic for example sometimes not always it will read 97% then in a few minutes it will jump to 94 without touching 96 or 95. It also still seems to drain very quickly from 100 to 90 then slows down considerably. Also if it says 90% and i boot into recovery it will read 94% in recovery. Anyone else have these bugs? I wonder if it will always be this way...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
I dont consider these things as "bugs", but rather they are anomolies that occur when you use a battery with capacities and specs that were never anticipated to be used with our phones...The best thing to do is just ignore all battery charge numbers on your phone, and just use the damn thing for 3-4 days, then charge it...It doesnt matter if the battery shows 80% left or 30% left, you dont have to charge it until its down to 2 or 3%;actually, I have had it run all day when it showed only 5% left...

What cases do you guys think are best for modding to accommodate this battery?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
Most of us here have modded the otterbox defender. It works very, very well with the zerolemon. I actually ran into a stranger today with a note 2 and otterbox defender and we were comparing devices and when I showed him my mod and explained how long I can go without a charge his jaw hit the floor. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
Its funny, since I bought my Note 2 atleast 7 people at my job has gotten it. So every time I see someone with theirs at work I show them mines with the ZeroDefenderLemonBox. Deep down inside I know they want to get it..they just say I dont need that much juice. Lmao

Has any one got this working with NFC? I see this NFC ring project on Kickstarter and it would be nice to use with this
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
pull off the the NFC contacts from your back cover and run copper tape between the contacts. not hard.

isn't the NFC ring mainly for opening doors? what can it do communicating with the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Note_2:
If you have the phone locked, you can bring the ring to the NFC part and unlock it.

Has anyone found an acceptable external charger for this battery? I'm not talking about modifying an existing charger or chargers that don't provide enough amps so it takes days to charge. It should fully charge a dead battery overnight or at least as well as the Samsung standard cables does when the battery is installed.

I want to buy another of these batteries. But it's just silly if I can't charge the extra one while the first one is in use.

So what's the verdict on this battery? I was a little o.0 about people saying the battery life is reducing after a few months of use ...

Is this a common issue or maybe just a couple of unlucky folk?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Too many factors even if it were deplete a little. It still more than stock. Still more than mugen or hyperion capacity. So just get it.

How long did it take before you started seeing the life go down
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Me too. 2 days now compared to 4 to 5 days in the beginning. Also 14 to16 hrs screen time now and 18 to 22 in beginning.

I used swithch around 3 stock batteries when one would run out and I was ok with that and would last all week with the 3.

Not sure if rhe extra bulk and weight is better than the battery switch route with many more case choices. Weighing mu options now and will decide soon. Good luck.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Burginthorn:
I was thinking about this yesterday when I first read peoples comments about the degradation of the battery life. If you were to use this battery strictly as a "weekender" as in those times when you go away somewhere, country, beach, weekend away and you won't have access to a charger, then this battery is perfect. But for everyday use where you drain it, recharge it, over and over, in time it will begin to degrade.

It would be great if someone could give an explanation as to why this would happen. I'm sure someone here has some technical knowledge on battery life and why a battery like this would degrade, and degrade quite fast if someone is already seeing degradation in only two months of use. That is of coarse considering battery instructions were followed to the letter.

If they were, then two months use, really is quite poor, and one could almost argue a waste of money for everyday use. But for a weekend away type battery, that is use on holidays and the like, it would be perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Im installing mu stock battery and my HunterF case back on today and will rock that this week and decide at the end of the week. Really doesnt bother me to plug my phone in at night while im sleeping. Its not like my stock battery dies half way through the day. It lasts me 30hrs with 7hrs screen. See wjat happens. Im just not sure that its worth the inconvenience of the extra size and weight anymore. Three batteries togerher should last at least 2 and a half times of one stock battery. Which means 75 hrs and 20jrs screen. I cant get that anymore with powersave on, using greenified, 50% brightness and all blacked out apps. Starting to look like Zero lemon is just that...

geez, for 39 bucks, INCLUDING A CASE, what did you people expect; that it would last for years, and maintain the ability to maintain 100% of its original capacity?

does your 150 dollar car battery last forever? Does it maintain a 100% recharge rate year after year?

I guess after working in the battery/charger industry for 15 years, my expectations were much lower for this thing, so I am thrilled with what I got for 39 bucks, INCLUDING A CASE; for the complainers and whiners, you need to realize this is 3 batteries sort of "glued" together, by a new, Chinese company, and they make it VERY obvious that you only get a 6 month warranty with it; dont you think THEY know its not going to be perfect forever, and therefore the 6 month warranty, NOT 3 years, NOT 2 years, Not even 1 year; but 6 months...

You get what you pay for; if the case is worth 10 bucks, then the battery is worth 29 dollars, and understanding that up front made this a no brainer and a great deal in my eyes...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Burginthorn:
WHOA! dude - complainers and whiners? That's a bit harsh mate. When you consider a thread of 120+ pages of people discussing a battery that lasts for 3-4 days without charging, and the many comments of people going off to buy one, branding the complainers and whiners when only now a couple of months later people are experiencing battery degradation, you have to expect some FEEDBACK. Not everyone has been in the battery/charger business for 15 years ...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] timmyd463229:
How many people here that have had it for over 2 months have not seen a significant decrease in performance? I've only read of a few people with a drop in performance maybe the majority of them are still working great and a few are duds and the people that have them come on here and share their experience and the people that are happy aren't going to come on here and be like ive had this thing for 2-3 months and its still going strong
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
its really impossible to accurately answer this question, because everyone on XDA adds/changes/reflashes/roots/modifies/ their OS/Rom on a semi regular basis, so to know if you are getting less life out of your battery today, than you did 60 days ago, you would have had to make NO changes to your phone in the last 60days, use your phone the same way every day for 60 days, and own accurate measuring eqipment/device/software to be able to actually answer that question accurately...otherwise its nothing more than S W A G.....

Thats why, IMO, these endless battery discussions/reports/comparisons/screenies/ are nothing more than wasting bandwidth..

And, yes, I am certain someone shortly will say that this post is nothing more than wasting bandwidth, so I guess I wont post in this thread again..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Then your eyes are messed up. I didnt ask for 2 3 4 years or forever from this battery. Its been 2 MONTHS. My Samsung battery which I purchased from Samsung directly and is made in Korea unlike the stock battery that came with my phone which says samsung and is made in china is still the same as when I got it 9 months ago.

My Samsung Charge is 3 years old with the same stock battery I purchased it with and tje battery life is just about the same as it was back when I purchased it. Maybe with some help from a rom kernel and battery saving apps but nontheless three years old and still strong. The Lemon is showing signs of severe degragation after 2 MONTHS. You dont see anytjing wrong with that?

Im not regretful that I purchased it and im glad I got to experience it for muself I jist dont think in my case its worth the extra bulk and weight. If it lasted as it did in tje beginning than I would be ok with it. And how long will it last 2 months from now? One day?

Anyway thats jist the way I feel about it guess your OPINION is different than mine. Cheers

Slightly loose case

I've had this battery fitted for 2 days so i'll reserve judgement on its performance for now but i would like to show a small mod i made to the case.

My case fits just fine but for a minor issue which annoyed me. The lip is tight all around the edges but when i pressed my thumb over the four front corners of the screen, the phone would press into the case ever so slightly and make a low squeaking noise. Glueing some pieces of bicycle inner tube to the contact points inside the case has reduced this and i am now happy with its fit.
