GPS fix

I was having GPS issues. It turned out to be the screws were loose. Try tightening all the screws in the back before returning the battery. Mine is working just fine now and I'm getting 2.5 days on this battery! I love it. I tried to post a link to the fix but the forums wont let me. A quick search should work though if you want to find more detailed instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
I'm thinking about doing another return and seeing if I can get a return on my phone as well. Still can't get anywhere close to anyone else's battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Battery is prob fine, possibly phone issue. Same used to happen to me. I had to get a new phone... Had a horrible accident n i havnt had any issues since, it charges Fine and no spotty discharge issues. Do u have insurance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rdhalla:
Na mate. i am sure my phone is ok. I had this for almost 2 years now.... I think i also fixed the problem.

I drained the battery to 0% and then let the phone switched off for 3 hours and made sure there isn't little bit power left innit.

then charged the phone back to 100 % .. its good so far. 9 hours 36 mins 11 seconds on battery 84% remaining..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
Initial discharge. Super pleased with mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindflayyer:
I have to say Bastel Wireless has great customer service. They helped me exchange my defective battery quickly and even reimbursed me for the return shipping. My new battery is working great! I'm very happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
My first go with the battery. Have about 4 hr screen time. Gotta be honest, wasn't able to have it charging for twelve hours straight but did get it to go for about twelve hours total. Work just doesn't allow that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
I do but I've gotten the phone replaced twice now I think I hit my limit, I'm not sure yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
First discharge cycle. I am impressed! Well worth the money!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coltzfan:
Here is mine. 4th full cycle discharge. Gets better each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Awesome! What's your screen on time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] camden07:
Love my Lemon

Screen Time was 4Hr couple min over. will never get any other battery. Verizons 3400 Extended is 60 buck rediculous 39 bucks on amazon for double that and half the price:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsumeikuro:
Is everyone charging the battery for 12 hours + even after the initial 4-5? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I've found about ten hours does it for me now.

Does anyone have any idea whether it's bad to let your battery die in the initial discharges? O try to get it to 1%, but it always liked to shoot back up to two or three percent. I keep getting it back down to 1, and twice now it has died on me (phone shut itself down). Am I harming anything in doing this? I don't like going to 2% because I usually get HOURS on 2%! I want to push it to 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rdhalla:
I drained my battery and made sure it didnt power up my phone. After that i let my phone sit for an hour then charged full. Took around 6 - 7 hours... . charge time is ridiculous. But went for 3 days 4 hours... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] superwrench:
excellent results

I've been using this beast for a month or so, and have nothing but good to say about it. I flashed back to the stock VZW TouchWiz and it can't even kill this battery!! GREAT investment!!:good:

I finally got mine in the mail this week. After the initial charge, in sitting at 1d6hr30 mins with 3 hours screen time, at 68% left. I knew it would be good. But Damn!

Stock Rom, auto brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
It's a bad ass battery.I bought two of them.I never did the whole 5 cycle thing but I'm always near a charger cause I'm a homebody and don't use the phone a whole lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
So I just got mine and charged it for 12 hours I currently have 4 hours on screen time with 61% battery left. Is that good or can someone get a better result than that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
It's good, but it's not great. It just depends on your whole ROM and kernel setup, and if you're using Mobile data, obviously you're battery will get eaten up more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
I regularly get 3 days easy out off my battery. I'd get 4 days off I let it drain down till it died.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
I'm currently using Beans 18 with stock kernel. What's your setup and battery life like?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
I've had mine for well over a month so far. The battery life is in my terms 3-4x more than the stock Galaxy S3 battery. I'm currently using CM 10.1 - I use data, GPS and high brightness alot which eats it up much more.

For a period of "basic" usage, you'll looking at 2-3 full days easy battery life. I know I was in a bad signal area, and my phone kept getting a stray data connection over night which did drain it from about 80% to 8% within a few hours while I slept. (we all know data and bad signals = battery hog, nothing new here)

The size is of course bigger. I've got no problem carrying the phone in my hiking shorts, but I don't like carrying it in my jean pockets. Too bulky and uncomfortable.

I wish I could find a perfect sized belt holster for this battery/galaxy S3. Anyone have any recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royredman:
Hi, I have a galaxy s4 and I g9t the 7500 mAh battery. I need to recalibrate the battery and I need to fully drain the battery in order to do that. Would it be a bad idea for the batterys health if I drain the battery completely?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 7bigjohn:
Best Holster found for Samsung Galaxy S3! Beleive it or not, if you cut about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch off of each side prong of the stock holster ($7.00 on Amazon), the battery with new case will fit perfectly! I'm very very happy with this solution. It isn't too loose or tight. It's perfect! No compromise guys. I justs guessed at the measurement (because the case was so inexpensive) and won. :). I just wanted to share in case there were other holster folks out there like me. Some people have heated the prongs up and bent them out but I haven't tried this so I couldn't comment how it works. This battery really is a game changer. I won't ever buy a phone that wont accommodate one. Ever

Sorry, they wont let me post a link so the picture is the best I can do. It's the stock case and holster you can get at any Verizon store. You don't use the case. The case the arrives with the batter fits after the tabs are trimmed. Hope this helps someone.

- Update to my previous post in this thread.

I order this particular Black Leather Belt Clip Holster Pouch from Amazon. It arrived today - and I must say, it fits perfectly.

I saw a review that said it did not close properly, I do not have this problem. It fits great on my belt, and I have no trouble getting the device out of the pouch. (I do have rather small hands though)

It was worth the $12.95.

Need Help!!

Hi, I have a galaxy s4 and I got the 7500 mAh battery. I need to recalibrate the battery and I need to fully drain the battery in order to do that. Would it be a bad idea for the battery's health if I drain the battery completely?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Drain to 2% only
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royredman:
The thing is that my phone wont be calibrated until my phone battery is completely dead. I have no idea if my battery is reading 2% but it really ends up being 40% left. I'm just confused how to properly calibrate this battery without harming its lifespan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] famousface:
Another use I'm throwing out there

Just throwing this out there, but I ended up using this battery and the GSIII as a GPS on a six day hike. I used airplane mode mostly since I was in the mountains and out of cellphone range, but it easily made it and had around 15% left at the end. Just another good use to consider. It's too big for me personally to use everyday, but as a backup for long trips and special things it really works as well as people are saying. Just make sure the battery killers like facebook and cell tower searching are managed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindflayyer:
Drain it until the phone shuts down to protect the battery. That's when it's safe to say the charge is low enough. It's a built in protection for lithium cells.

I just bought mine 3rd party, they gave me a 7000 mah ZL, and I ran it on Friday morning through Saturday night..and still had 30% left. that is with casual use...very impressed!

and the weight of the phone doesn't bother me too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Can anyone comment on the thickness of the ZeroLemon 7000 battery and case compared to a stock S3 with an Otterbox Defender case? I have the Otterbox on and don't mind the size, if the ZeroLemon is not much thicker I may order one up!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
I had one. The thickness wasn't bad at all. I loved it. It pushes the back of the silicon out a little more but that's it. Worth it totally

Running CarbonROM 1.8 on a Galaxy SIII with LeanKernel 7.1 (Zerolemon 7000mah)

Those random spikes Up/Down are because I had just installed the battery and this was its first discharge.

I did not plug the phone into any charger/computer for this 4 day period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler.frost92:
Very impressive, I just don't think I could deal with the added bulk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
It really isn't bad at all. Personally with me with bigger hands, it fits in my palm well. Feels like I got more control of the phone, but that varies per person
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Same here.I put my stock battery back in this weekend just to remember what it felt like and to see if my data would be faster and if my GPS would find more satellites but I had the same exact results as I do with both my zerolemon batteries.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] talon4x4:
I had the Trident Ageis case (http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.aspx) before getting the Zerolemon. The difference in height between the two is about 2mm. I'm guessing the Trident should be somewhat similar in size to the Otterbox. The biggest difference comes from the added weight from the new battery. If your looking for an ultra-light, razor thin phone Zerolemon is not for you. If you want to feel like your actually holding something in your head and like a battery that lasts between 2 and 3 days the Zerolemon is for you.

I'm running TKMod 3.0 ROM and KT747 kernel and get through 48hrs easily without a charge. I haven't tried to see how far into the 3rd day I could get before needing a charge because I don't want to end up with a dead phone while working. I use the phone heavily for 8hrs while at work. Talking, texting, internet, corporate email and an internet connected app for my job that I have running for my entire workday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sgirard1991:
Are these things really as amazing as people say? I have heard people say they can get 3 days on one charge... How accurate does that sound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] starcallr:
should get mine tomorrow - we'll see how long it'll last....//
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Yeah it fairly accurate. To be fair I am in a very good signal area, but I use my phone a lot during the day. Phone calls, emails, texts, web browsing, GPS to find places. I can easily get 3 days before I need to recharge my battery. I am at 2 days and 12 hours right now, and have 36% battery left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sgirard1991:
Cool. I'm gonna look into ordering one.

With a calibrated caliper at work it measures at exactly .660"

Work at an aerospace factory so our equipment is pretty good.

That's the width of the case while its on the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
For anyone interested in the 2300mah batteries and charger, I have to say the charger is VERY slow. The batteries themselves perform great, but don't expect to recharge the 2nd battery any time soon once it's discharged. The output is 350mA for the battery slot. I've found it takes at least 10 hours from a fully depleated battery. The USB output on the charger is better at 800mA.

Can someone take their phone with battery and weigh it on one of those diet scales? For reference, my phone with qcell 4200 and tpu case weighs in at 197 grams. I am curious as to how much more my phone would weigh with this battery.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlikes08:
236 grams with TPU case

.:Sent from my S3 with the power of 7000 Lemons!:.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Isn't the TPU case part of the battery cover on this thing? You have no choice but to use it, right?

I'm fine with my QCell battery. It provides more than enough charge for my usage. What I hate about it is the battery cover. It covers up the camera enough that the flash doesn't work correctly. I end up with pictures that look like a spotlight was shined on them. I bought a Seidio battery back that tapers down the way that this zerolemon case seem to, but the only case that would fit it was the Seidio case. I didn't like the seidio case because the silicone rubber part of the case got kind of gross after a while. Plus it didn't really do a good job of covering the bottom of the phone. My phone has a little gap between the frame and the screen at the bottom, and crap gets into it that's really hard to clean out. I'm still actually looking for a reliable way to clean it out. So I sold the seidio case and went back to the QCell. I gave the Mophie battery case a try, and ended up returning it. It didn't really perform as I expected, though I did like the way the case fit the phone. I wish that they made a regular case that fit the bottom like that.

So the zerolemon case seems to fit around the camera same way as the seidio, in that it doesn't cover the camera and flash. And that's my motivation to give it a try. at 236 grams, it weighs 1.4 ounces more than the QCell battery/back/TPU case. That's not terrible, I guess.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
It will come with a battery and the back cover (it's NFC compatible). You take out the original back cover and the battery. Insert the new battery and new back cover. Now you need to tune the battery for optimal performance.For the first time, It's recommended to use your new battery until you have 2-4% left, then plug in the phone and charge over night until 100% WITHOUT interuption (don't unplug while it charging). Do this 3 times and you good to go. After this you can recharge your phone anytime you wish.

For 31$, it worth every penny. It's about 2 1/2 times thicker but hold comfortable in your hand. You do feel the weight when you put in your shirt pocket or thin pants, but not jean. I use this monster when I'm out partying or away from my home all day without worry about battery. Just for this reason, get it. If you don't want the extra weight, just carry it as a spare and only use it when needed.
