I definitely seen to have problems staying connected to my wifi and 3G but more my wifi than anything. When I leave my house though I have less problems. Guess it's beside Sprint has ****ty signal at my house. In the city there's 4G everywhere...

Just got my zerolemon battery.. On my first discharge cycle with 2hrs screen time and 23hrs on battery.. Holding strong at 80% battery still. I love this battery! Screenshots to follow when this beast finally dies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
I'm getting 12-13 hours of battery life with heavy usage. Screen time was maybe 7-8 hours. It's posted above in this thread. Not too far up. So either mine is defective or I've done something horribly wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecake2000:
Yea I have issues now picking up 4g at my work. Usually I have to airplane cycle that's why I'm worried about buying this. And the fact one comment i read on YouTube was from a girl saying she had issues and zero lemon never responded to her.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Your point is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcar1947:
My bad posted in error.....11 hrs @ 60% 7hrs+ screen time .....zerolemon works for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nick7893:
Is anyone else's case a little loose after having it for a few weeks? I don't take it off so it's not from that. Do you think contacting zero lemon would help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Maybe I should have titled this the Zerolemon support thread:P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] williamweaver:
Indeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sintricate:
I use a lot of WiFi but I do use 4G as well. I don't play games or download large files but I do use FB/Twitter/Instagram a lot with light browsing. In a case where my stock battery would be dead in about 6-7 hours, this one lasts me days.

My signal definitely has decreased. I've also been having GPS lock issues lately and I'm assuming it's due to this massive battery. I don't experience the same issues with my other extended batteries (Qcell).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
First day of use after the 12hr charge, completely disappointed.

Gps, Bluetooth & full brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Holy hell, you must have a terrible setup. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
I don't see how this helps me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4u2:
My results look the same as yours. I'll be sending mine back for a replacement to see what happens with the next one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chuck24:
Give it a few more tries. If it continues just send it back in. I can't speak for anybody else but my first charge cycle was amazing. I was using my phone so much that I got bored and just put it down.. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcar1947:
I agree ...I m out of the house 15 hrs at a time. The fact that I m not tetherd to a charger or constantly looking for a outlet is worth it to me! I m constantly using gps surfing and talking on the phone!

The ZL is a keeper for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4u2:
My ZL also seems to be causing my cell reception problem. ZL in I get 1x to no signal. I install my Qcell phone in exact same spot I get 3g/4g.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
You never asked for help...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
What are you going to tell them to return it, More than likely they are going to ask you to continue cycling the battery before a return
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Okay? That helps no one. You're just showing off at this point.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Nice to see someone have the same problem. I really don't want to have to return it. But I suppose I will if I have to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Those of you getting low screen time, should return for a different battery the minimum amount of battery you should be getting is one full day(24hrs) with like 10-14hrs screen time with no power saving on.the best I've gotten is 3 days, with 11hr screen time, no power saving but I also have Wi-Fi at home, hope this helps some ppl

I do in fact know why you made this thread but that guy responded to my post with a screenshot and it had no real relevance to what I had said. It's possible English isn't his first language either so there's that to consider as well.

Signal problems will be noticed in threshold areas rather than good signal areas. With decent to good signal, 4g works great regardless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4u2:
I emailed them and explained what I did and how I cycled the battery. They are doing the exchange with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Should I be considering a return? I have had this battery for a week or so and even leaving it on the charger I never got it charged to 100%. It would say 100 and when I pull the charger it drops to 44 every time. I am a fairly heavy user... First day I got a full day from it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason Roach:
Turn off the phone and charge it to 100% and then after that it should charged to 100% without having to turn it off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Will try this tonight or tomorrow. Gonna completely drain it and the see if I can do a complete charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Completely drained it last night... Let it shut off and left it on the charger all night while it stayed off... When I checked it just now it said 100percent. Unplugged it and it dropped to 50... And within a fee minutes it dropped to 49 to percent.

Edit: 20 mins later n I am down to 45 percent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
What ROM and such are you running? I know when I flash some ROMs, my battery just drops like it's hot. And as far as it dropping from 100 to 50, that has been normal for me. If I drain it a lot and charge it back up to 100 I always unplug it and it drops back to like 85 and then I plug it back in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
I am using beans town 15.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
You usually get good battery life with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Yep... Well I was on 14 while I used my stock battery and the life was ok. I would make it half a day before plugging it in... That's maybe from 1-6 just using tapatalk, Netflix, tune in radio, texting. The battery life has improved though. Even only getting up to 50percent I can make it all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Hmm, sounds like the battery is no good. I can get like more than two days without a charge and around 10 hours screen on time using Bluetooth and 4G on AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Download battery calibration from the market, charge to one hundred percent then click the calibrate button and see if it doesn't drop anymore.If it still persists change your kernel or wipe cache/dalvik
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Sorry, but battery calibration apps are bs and don't do anything. Definitely try another ROM/kernel for the hell of it. My guess is a bad battery though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raddrummer:
This is from my first charge. Minimal use of course. Turning data off and whatnot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pocii29:
Lots of people will vary stats wise depending on kernal, governor, scheduler, tw, or aosp.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Already called amazon and got a refund so I gotta return in 30 days but I also just swapped batteries with my sister to see if it may be my rom/kernel combo. So far it has charged to over 60 percent in her phone. Will see how it turns out today into tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
So my issue may be with my rom. My sister has had my battery in her phone. Took it off the charger at 74% and since then she has dropped to 68%. Said she has been using it moderately. She is stock unrooted. Shot of her usage attached. Given this bit do I need to just do a fresh install to fix my issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Weird I bought two zerolemon batteries and both are good.I'm lucky I guess?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
So long story short I'm going to send mine in for a replacement. And hoping they can give me a black one instead of the white one. I took pretty good care of it but it still started to get dull and almost yellowish pretty quickly. So should I email zero lemon first or call Amazon first? (Or just one of the two).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
I noticed that they are not available on amazon anymore... Not sure if that's just me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Nope, not just you :thumbdown:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atook:
Got mine a few days ago from Amazon, I'm pretty happy with the first charge. This is light use (although there was some Ingress, and a few phone calls) and mostly on wifi. I got a black one and put it on my white phone. Looks good I think.

Still, 3.5 days on the first charge? It adds some bulk to the phone, but it's not like it makes a huge difference really, it still fits in my pocket easily, and the larger case makes it easier to hold.

I've no scientific research, but I do think the reception has gone down a smidge.

Oh yeah, I'm running Synergy 443 w/ Ziggy's kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
Bought one "used" from amazon a few days ago, waiting for that to come in before returning my defective battery, still looking for new ones, wish they sold them somewhere else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Amazon has them in stock even cheaper then before

Could have made it a lot longer. I have been doing all I can for the last few hours to drain to 2% so I can charge tonight. Still have a little while to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
Anyone have an idea on when it'll be on stock again? Or can anyone recommend a good alternative to this battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Only one I know of is the Mugen 4600mAh extended battery. Plastic case, just about as thick as the zero lemon I think, has a kickstand. I'm thinking the plastic case might give it better reception than the zero lemon...if my replacement zlm battery didn't work out I'll have to try out that I think...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrehob:
Man I got this battery over two months ago, have no regrets. Yeah my phone is heavier than my wife's iPhone, but whatever.

I go at least two days before needing a charge. Today I started off with 11% battery, went to breakfast, came back with 5%, charged for two hours, had 40%, and 10 hours later I am sitting at 21%.

Its just really tough to kill one of these things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BowDown:
Wow I defiantly need to invest in one of these. My OEM battery after a year leaves alot of be desired. Is amazon the vendor of choice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
That's the only vendor I've heard of from people buying it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
My story. When I got the battery I popped it in and had 58% so I used it b4 connecting to the charger. It took me aprox 50 hours to finally kill it (I was only on wifi no data) and I had 16 or 17 hours of onscreen time. Took about 10 or 12h to change up. Long story short been flashing kernels n my battery life was going down, so yesterday I did a factory data reset after I flashed the ZEUS kernel, my battery was already down to 87% in 4h with approximately 2.5h onscreen time. Since then I've been on battery 22h, onscreen time 11h 10m full data only and still have 15%left which should last me another 5 to 6 h with at least 3 more onscreen hours if not more. So if you have a battery that is discharging fast recommend you do a factory data reset n don't mess around with a kernel just lover your voltages to where the phone is stable (I had undervolted once a lot almost to the base minimum voltages n my battery was draining 35%faster till I upped my voltages) so now I go 50 on the high to max 200 on the low end from what ever the original voltages are. Sorry I can't post a picture I can't figure out how to upload it from gallery, I tried it a few times but it never loaded up.

Anyway I love the battery n I don't mind a little bulk if the battery lasts this long. It was worth the 40 $ I paid for it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spyrano:
Lasts 5 days for me on light usage. I also turn airplane mode on while I sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Just put in the return order for mine. Sucks that they don't actually let you do an exchange. From what the little card zlm gives you and what their email says about returns, you should be able to do exchanges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Correction: Zero Lemon just emailed me saying they could replace it for me! And i can mail them the old one when I get the replacement :thumbup: but what online receipt are they talking about? From the amazon website or was it something in an email? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
I'm guessing they meant this...?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Thanks :thumbup: I sent them that screenshot and everything went smoothly.

This is the most recent email they sent me. Getting my replacement in about two weeks (ships directly from China) but had asked if they could give me a black tpu case. At least they're being very courteous :p.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] williamweaver:
I got a white one. It discolored bad. I emailed them and they sent me a black one free of charge. They said 1-2 weeks to get it. I got it in two days. Very good customer service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
So you think I should email them back insisting on a black one? I don't want to ruffle their feathers but with the black case the phone looks amazing. I don't know why they didn't just offer me it... :mad:

EDIT: I just went ahead and asked and they said yes :thumbup: Good customer service indeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
I have the black one:)

I think everyone will do that now for sure. When i first bought my zlm 7000mAh I didn't know there was a black one and stupidly didn't bother to check if there was one :P.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] williamweaver:
That's the exact same email I got! Natural phenomenon? Better call the X-Files. Haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
So is there a way to charge the battery outside of the galaxy s3's body? I want to do the proper initial 12 hours of charging before using it but unless I go to sleep early AND sleep for twelve hours (lol), i probably will need to use it before the 12 hour charge is up.

Tl;dr I need some recommendations for an external charger for the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] williamweaver:
I would also like to know too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
I got my Used battery from amazon the other day, instantly going to return it, I figured coming from the amazon warehouse they would have checked the quality before. I did see they started selling new, so i just rebought a new one again. So I have 2 batteries to return
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Return that asap. I mean it came like that right?

And wait why are you returning both?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Nothing a little duck tape won't fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
First brand new battery couldn't hold a charge for over 18 hrs, and that was done after the initial 12 hr charge, and I barely used the phone that day.

I currently use it as my daily battery since it's still better than my Hyperion 4200mAh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
Oh I see. Yeah sorry man. Should have kind of assumed that because I'm returning mine for the very same reason. Only got 16–18 hours battery life on average and just the night before last it didn't charge at all even though i had it plugged in all night (was at 22% when i went to sleep, woke up and it was at maybe 26 or something).

I'm using the stock gs3 battery in the mean time because it lets the phone connect to 3G/4G/wifi better and I'm just annoyed by the zlm battery right now :thumbdown: Good luck with your replacement (if you're getting one).

They ship from Asia (China) first and then are rerouted from somewhere in the US I think.

Possibly this location.

Size

People who own the battery, does the phone still comfortably fit in the pocket of your pants without looking ridiculous? I'm definitely interested in picking up one, but I'm just worried that the thickness will be a little too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawn01:
Nah. Feels fine. I actually like it better. Way easier to type on. Only thing I hate is sometimes when I'm kneeling it feels to big. But the case is a life saver accidentally threw my phone a few times. Wash it if it gets dirty. Fantastic battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
Just got my new battery today, so far I'm off to a bad start, I dropped like 5%,doing basic things, although I could get the other 2hrs from the 12hr cycle, i charged it 3 more hours when I got to work. When I initially unplugged it, i had power saving mode on, and it still dropped so fast. So what rooms are you are you guys using, i when with a pretty much stock room on the latest update and rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Yeah like the last guy said, it's not that bad at all. Especially so if you're already used to using a case. I typically use an Otterbox Commuter case which fattens the phone up a bit anyway. The big ZeroLemon battery does make it bigger but it still fits in a pair of regular fit jeans. If you wear slim fit jeans it will fit too, but you'll definitely know its there and probably want to remove from your pocket if you sit. If you wear skinny jeans then carry a purse for it.

Personally I went back to the regular battery after I completed 4 successful power cycles on the ZeroLemon battery. I bought this thing for weekend trips, etc where I won't be able to charge and don't need it for day-to-day usage.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAPC0:
Im running carbon 1.7. Never changed the kernel. At the end you can see I was tethering and doing all I could to get to 2% so I could do a 12 hour charge before work.

I highly recommend that everyone follow the steps. As soon as you get the battery turn off the phone. DO NOT USE BEFORE /WHILE CHARGING. Insert battery. Keep it off while charging for 12 hours. Turn on the phone. Do not charge again until you reach 2%. Repeat these steps 6 times

I only have one more 12 hour charge cycle left. But I am happy that I can dont have to have to charge the phone at work anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] src511:
So after the sixth time what is recommended?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAPC0:
Enjoying your phone... ;)

Basically you can do occasional charges.

Example: charge your phone and have it on at the same time.

Please note that I still have one more charge to go. So that statement was my hypothesis based on reading the forums
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stvnx7:
Hey guys, don't want to steal the thunder from ZeroLemon, but I was wondering if any one of you could point me to the highest capacity battery that is also the same size as the standard S3 battery. I don't much care about adding a bit of weight to the phone, but I don't want to add size.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] packerjd04:
Hope to hear good things when you start using them because I think I should get more than 2 hours of screen time on the stock battery. I'm a pretty heavy user but still wouldn't mind a bit more juice. Was gone all day on Saturday doing stuff and my battery did not last nearly long enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Follow the manufactor recommendation. Initially you need to discharge in order for the battery to do self adjust for maximum performance. Once the "calibration process" is completed, then you shouldn't discharge it completely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
This is a little off topic, but you may want to check out the KT747 kernel governor thread. They have some info that will help you out. Also try DS Battery Saver and an app called Greenify. I can get at least 3 hours throughout a single days use (about 15 hours) on the stock battery. I could do better, but it all depends on how I run my radios and the cell signal.
