I dont recommend anyone get a cheap ass one off of ebay. My friend bought me a battery and a dock that charges both my phone AND a battery an extra battery which was awesome of him. but he clearly bought a cheap battery from ebay most probably and it doesnt really hold much charge anymore. it's definitely great for emergencies, but it doesnt last nearly as long as my original battery does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tykalx:
can anyone confirm if the 3000 for the international fits our version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmz768:
Who really needs 13 hours of screen time? All I need is enough power to get me through the day. I had a 4400mah battery and briefly tried a ZeroLemon. After a few months of carrying around a brick, I picked up the Samsung 3000mah battery and couldn't be happier.

Too many people get hung up on screen time as if it's some sort of competition. I'll take my slimmer phone over more screen time than I would ever use in a day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Carrying a brick? Wow you must have girl hands.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmz768:
My hands are just fine, thanks. The phone is a brick with the larger extended batteries and almost nobody has the need for that much power, so what's the point? If bragging about screen time is important to you, rock on with your bad self and the brick in your pocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dukebluedevildb:
THIS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Screen time is the actual time that you used the phone, so if a phone last for 1 day but screen time is only 1 hrs then the other 23 hrs it's sitting in your pocket. I agree that Zerolemon is not for everyone, it designed for people that need to use their phones all day long, like my buddy, he's in the construction business and he definitely need this brick. If you don't need it because you're not on the phone that much, then nothing to talk about and you shouldn't even come into this thread. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x Jumpman23 x:
I get what your saying. Just think about the stand by time I could get if I wasn't on it all the time, probably 3 to 4 days easy. Screen time isn't big for me I just love the fact that I don't have to worry about my phone dying on me, no matter what I doing. Size is what makes this thing so great, without it I can barely cope with this thing. But to each is own.

How do you know how much power people need...

If its a brick, stop wearing skinny jeans from the women section and hit the gym. The 3.5 lb dumbbells should do you just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chuck24:
Different people with different lifestyles.. I have been rocking the stock battery since day one. I recently purchased the Zero lemon battery and I must say it is awesome. Battery life is on an average of 2-3 days with 10+ hrs of screen on time and so far as thickness goes I just cut out the back of my Otterbox Defender and it fits perfect. Same thickness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmz768:
You really think a your average user with an extended battery is on their phone 10+ hours per day?

Stop making assumptions, you know what that makes you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Looks like you just made an assumption yourself.

Just because your hands and jeans are too small for it doesn't mean you have to knock it.

For power users such as others and I it's nice not having to worry about having multiple chargers or having to carry one around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmz768:
Who said my hands and jeans were too small? Stop being ignorant. The extended batteries are huge and the only benefit for most people is having enough power to go a couple of days before recharging. If that or bragging about how much screen time you got on a charge is what's important, have fun with the brick in your pocket.

Zero lemon is by far the best bang for your buck and probably the best quality and battery life your going to get
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blaine07:
I've been quite happy with my Gorilla Gadgets 4500. Ordered for occasional use thinking noway I could handle it day to day. After using it "occasionally" I've been hooked on actually making it through a full day of work/play not always hunting down and worrying about where I'm going to hit a charger next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Of course that's the benefit why else would you want a extended battery? To look at it?

Hopefully your hands grow so you can enjoy the battery like the rest of us until then enjoy suffocating in your skinny jeans.

We changed topics. Pm each other if u guys really wanna talk.

Anyways. I have the Hyperion 4200 but I'm not sure if I should jump to the 7000 zero lemon. If it really messes with GPS idk if its worth it. I saw people saying signal gets a little worse. Anyone have more insight on GPS?

I have the Samsung 3000 mAh and can say with out a doubt it is a fantastic investment. I did not want a fat ass phone. I wanted at least a solid 5 hrs screen time battery and wanted to keep my wireless qi charging.

I get 6-7 hrs screen on time. 4g only. All sync on, auto brightness. It has exceeded my expectations. Slightly larger than stock. Wireless qi charging working great. Couldn't be happier. Expensive? A little, but you pay for quality.

This is my typical screen on time at 50%. Its consistent. And most importantly it hasn't let me down once. I used to get the same screen time out of the stock battery that I now get @ 50% of this extended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
For years, I go with 2 OEM batteries. The one that's in my S3, and the other OEM battery that's in a pocket.

That gives me 4200mAh of battery life, which has Always been enough juice in my years of this being

my SOP ;)

Plus it doesn't fatten up my S3.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xScott:
I'm running an AOKP nightly build from a couple weeks ago and dkp kernel. With previous phones, I used to purchase spare batteries and swap them out once a day or so. Before rooting and loading a custom ROM, I was getting about 10 hours of battery life. Now I can go more than 24 hours with light use (checking email, streaming music/podcasts for hours with the screen off). Realistically, I'm getting at least 18 hours, and it's rare that I'd be away from power much longer than that. I have several portable chargers (5200mAh, 5700mAh, 8200mAh) that work just fine.

As for generic batteries, I always buy OEM (or at least China said they were OEM). Once the phone has been out for a few months, battery prices drop quickly. I can't speak to generic S3 batteries. Amazon's return policy is great. If you get one and it doesn't work well, you should be able to return it and get your money back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
I have, and highly recommend the ZeroLemon 7000mAh. GPS and Wi-Fi both working well. And the provided case is honestly quite sturdy and worth the trade-off.

This battery has changed the way I handle my phone. It can EASILY last 2 full days of power usage! Never worry again about always charging or think you're SOL if u can't find a charger one night. Triple the capacity, triple the life span.

I still Undervolt, monitor my wake locks, and take care of my phone. But with ZL battery, you remove the stress and worry of a dead battery.

4.5/5 stars highly recommended.

Love my zero lemon. Watched an entire tv season on an eight hour car trip yesterday and I'm still at 25% this afternoon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
If you're going to get an extended battery, I'd have to echo other people and say that zerolemon is the way to go. It's double the thickness of a naked S3, which really isn't that bad considering the amount of charge it holds.

I've had one for 3 months now. This last weekend I went a full 3 days including using GPS for 2 hours on a road trip, streaming hours of music, general web surfing, etc.. I've given up managing battery and power. I just turn everything but GPS on all the time. I'm running an AOSP rom as well. At worst I charge after 2 days of usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gordon Ramsay:
The zero lemon is a pos and I don't really see the love over it. The design is not made with Verizon in mind and does adversely effect signal. There are lots of complaints about this but the company insists since they have tested it with other carriers that we must all be wrong. Also the case is of low quality and flexes around when you hold it. It really needs a hard cover and then tpu over that. The batteries are not of high quality either. They have overcome the problem of using cheap batteries by adding so much capacity that it somewhat makes up for it. If Samsung were to make a 7000mah battery it would last twice as long as the zero lemon. The only extended batter worth getting is the Samsung because its the only one with a half thought out design and quality
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greengiant1969:
Has anyone tried the Hyperion 7000mah battery? I just ordered one and already have the zerolemon so I'm waiting to test them to see which one is better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
This might be a dumb question but here we go..

What is largest Mah battery that can fit in the G III with the original cover?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
ZeroLemon has a 2300 mah battery. They sell 2 of them together on Amazon for less than $30 from what I remember.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JustinHit:
I recommend ZeroLemon 7000mAh

It can last like 5-6 days on pure standby mode

but average use at least 2 FULL days. Some texting and a few phone calls

Heavy use 24hours-36hours. (Playing 3D intensive games and phone calls all time time)

This is from experience for having the battery for the past month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thetestis:
Does the ZeroLemon case make it hard to use the headphone out jack? I never use the case I got with my phone because it blocks a solid connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tenizpr0:
No it doesnt it is actually better than the other cases I've had
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tunameltsalad:
No the headphone jack is very easily accessible. If you are contemplating diving in and getting one, I would do it sooner than later. I picked mine up for 30 bucks and now it's around 40, and I wouldnt be surprised if it keeps going up. Excellent battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pray59:
The headphone jack is not affected by the zero lemon 7000 battery case. The case is

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Made of the tpu rubber and all the buttons work really well with it.

I do think the battery affects phone signal though, but all in all I think this battery is a must have, after having it for several months now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
This thread title is a misnomer.

ZeroLemon 7000 beats all other batteries hands down - there is no debate or competition! I love mine!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:

I haven't noticed any signal reduction in the 3 months I've had one. GPS also locks quickly, so no issues there either.

I may be picking up an extended battery. Candy crush kills my battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donaldjl:
Just thought I'd toss in my dva roubles. I wanted something that maintained the relatively slender lines of the S3, but was a boost over stock, and went with the Samsung OEM 3000 maH battery and cover. I really like that it's OEM, and the look of the cover is a dead-on match for the finish of the original. I'm not a power user, so I didn't need to get into some of the heavy guns like some of the power users need.

I unplugged yesterday morning around 5:15 am. Did a quick GPS pickup at a friend's, about a dozen or so calls and texts during the day, a bit of FB and email, some solitaire on the can, a 10-20 minutes of play with my daughter, and at 1:45 the following afternoon, I'm sitting at 32%. I keep the original battery as a backup. I have a small piece of foam taped to the back to fill the 2.5 mm difference between the original and the 3000 battery in order to just use the same cover with both batteries. For my own use and needs, it's a good compromise. If I were to make more use of the GPS, start playing more games, watching videos, etc. I'd likely opt for more capacity. As it is, I'm pretty pleased with the arrangement so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDarkKV:
Hello, I've had my Nexus 4 for a month now, and am thinking of getting a replacement as my current model has had some defects out the box.

But now I'm stuck on which path to take, I have insurance on the phone, but its also covered by LG warranty...

So which would be the best option to take?

Edit:

My insurance covers defects etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUIETLYloud:
warranties cover defects in workmanship, generally at no cost to you... insurance covers lost, theft or accidental damage and have a deductible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
You're in the UK, if you bought it from a retailer, legally they have a responsibility to repair, refund or replace the phone if it is defective.

Insurance in the UK is for accidental damage and theft/loss.

Warranty is just an agreement from the provider (not always the manufacturer) that they will put right certain issues, but in the UK it's pretty irrelevant and is mostly used by retailers to try and shirk their legal responsibilities.

Reproduction Procedure

1) Plug in Headset

2) Make a call via Phone app

3) Use volume rocker to turn the volume to [In-Call Volume X] (e.g. Lowest)

4) End the phone call

5) Plug off Headset

6) Make a call via Phone app

7) Because Speaker mode uses another In-Call Volume Profile, you are now hearing [In-Call Volume Y] (e.g. Highest)

8) End the call

9) Plug in Headset

10) Make a call via Phone app

11) You are now hearing [In-Call Volume Y] (e.g. Highest), where you SHOULD hear [In-Call Volume X] (e.g. Lowest)

12) Use volume rocker to modify volume (e.g. press rocker up), now you hear the correct [Modified In-Call Volume X] (e.g. Lowest +1)​

Reported to Google - Issue 53281

Please star it if you can reproduce the issue!

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=53281​

Potential Danger

This can be potentially dangerous for people that uses the Nexus 4 AS A PHONE everyday, or even rely on phoning in his/her job.

In the above example where a user with Headset is unaware of the "Inherited" Highest In-Call Volume from the Speaker mode, the user's ears would be blasted every time he/she makes/receives a phone call.​

Phone calls are the essential feature of a phone. Bugs inside the In-Call Volume on a stock Nexus 4 is really intolerable.

This seems to be a small issue like the incorrect battery percentage reporting / buzzing phone speaker / shaking the phone causes sound etc., but this is different, because it can cause human damage!

Again, please help me to catch Google's attention on this by starring the issue, with the hope that they will fix it soon. Thanks!​

Well, I don't use it really frequently too. But don't you want to help make the N4 perfect? That is a very basic function and really shouldn't appear on this phone. In addition, I believe it would be a pain for people who makes alot of phone calls every day. Really a pain.

Because there are alot of people don't care, thats why this basic volume bug is not getting fixed.

Well. Sorry to say.

I never used Google stock ROM since Nexus one. Nexus S. galaxy Nexus. And also Nexus 4.

as far as i know. low volume quality earpiece when in call volume happens since Nexus S.

so i always use custom kernel and ROM.

a question. Which one will blast our ears?

earpiece or earphones (headset/headphones).
[Nexus 4 General] hufqnjhu:
thats why this basic volume bug is not getting fixed.
[Nexus 4 General] Hanny:
For low quality, I can still live with it as long as it doesnt damage my ears, but for this one, it is a freaking volume blast.

I have tested the issue (volume inheritance between profiles) on my maguro and it is not there.

I hvn't tested it with those big headphones. But I believe the effect will be significant in those earpieces that put volumes directly into our ear canals - unexpected maxed volume together with the background noise + low quality output, that blast will be horrible!

As far as my knowledge tells, some earpieces have an overall higher volume (especially those without a mic on the wires, and is especially built for music instead of phone calls) to facilitate better music experience. And those combined with this bug will result in a catastrophe. I have changed my earpiece to those built for phone calls + casual music, and even it blasts, the impact is not as big as the ones mentioned above.
[Nexus 4 General] rejanmanis:
so i believe it happens when u used headset isn't it?

and also headset doesn't include out of the box in Nexus 4.

is it possible some thing wrong with your custom headset?
[Nexus 4 General] Hanny:
No, I have tried different ones, with mic, with no mic, etc.

Headsets may be different in their "actual volume output loudness" (how loud ACTUALLY do u hear with the same volume setting, might be different), but the OP is talking about the "software volume output". No matter how quiet your headset is, the bug still happens. (when u plug back in the headset, the call volume output of the nexus 4 still remains the one u set without headset)

It is only a matter of whether it will damage your ears. if your headset's "actual volume output loudness" is loud, then it blasts your ears. if it is very quiet, then it doesnt hurt you.
