[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Yep, I see your point. After I posted my reply, I actually went back charing up my depleted N2 and N7 with two different external batteries to get a better idea of what is going on. I was using 4500 mAh Slim2 to charge up Nexus 7 and based on charging percentage of the tablet (and its battery capacity of 4325 mAh) I was able to estimate that 4500 mAh actually supplied 3250 mAh. Which is exactly what I expected considering that Anker states in the spec of Slim2 about up to 30% less total capacity. So, now I know for sure that a fully charged Slim2 can give me a full charge of Note 2. With Astro 3E (rated at 10000 mAh), the results charging up Note 2 were as good where I charged up Note 2 from zero to full and used half of Astro 3E 10k mAh capacity. That would suggest 6200 mAh of actual capacity instead of 7000 mAh I would expect (30% down from 10000 mAh max rating). BUT, I totally forgot that my Note 2 was on with 4G radio, GPS, BT paired up, multiple email account syncing, etc. In 3-4hr of charging my battery was charging and discharging (although at a lot slower rate). But still, I don't justify 800-900 mAh difference due to this discharging considering it was idling with everything on. That is why your particular method of using external charge board without any other factors depleting the battery is perfect!!!

So, there is a possibility that for this particular Astro 3E the adjusting loss factor might be closer to 35%-40%. This was my first full charge cycle of this external battery after a full discharge, so I will have to run a few more cycles to average it out. But overall, it's a very interesting observation about these external battery chargers. And we are talking about reputable brand name company. So, any of these ebay 20,000 mAh charging external bricks for $17 are probably in 6k-7k mAh category lol!!!

I would really like to see more tests of "slim" Batteries! Thanks for this first test :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I know I didn't wait long enough with a test of my Gold slim battery which claimed 4200 mAh where I measured 2000 mAh, but now seeing that you measured 2000 mAh with your 3800 mAh sample - it makes me wonder if it's a same generic cell battery wrapped in a different label with nothing revealing underneath of that label to see the actual rating lol!!!

I didn't post a link to where I got it, but in general I would highly recommend to stay away from ANY battery with "Gold" label which claims anything above 3100 mAh.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
I just received a Gold battery yesterday, and my test results confirm yours.

Price: ~$7.50 shipped

Claim: 4100 mAh

Actual: 1975 mAh

Note that even though the photo shows no logo, the actual battery showed up with a big Samsung logo in the blank area.

Claim: 3100 mAh

Actual: 2000 mAh
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Wow, very consistent! Probably all using the same set of cells.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
It wouldn't surprise me. I know that, at least with "quality" batteries that make their way into mainstream commercial goods, lithium ion cells are generally made by one of about five companies. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that there are only a few manufacturers of the crappy cells too.

On that note, I'll start taking requests. Point me to cells that can be ordered, for under $10 shipped to Canada, and I'll try to test them, as my finances permit.

That will be a firm rule for this project, no deviation, because I suspect that an Anker (about $14 shipped to Canada) will test right up to spec - so thats the benchmark we're trying to beat!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
I've ordered two or three more cells, but I'm still looking for input and requests (subject to the above).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mentathf:
I'm very Interested in your findings, with that said what would be a good replacement battery for my Verizon Note II?

Something same form factor with better specs than the stock battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The anker I got for my note 2 is slightly larger than the stock battery, both physically and capacity wise. I suspect anker does this because they offer an 18 month warranty and the extra capacity allows for some cell degradation while still maintaining the full labeled capacity over those 18 months. I'd recommend anker for a stock replacement for any device, as every anker I've used has been as good or better than the OEM

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
+1 for Anker. Quality and customer support top notch! Their 18 months warranty is to make them stand out from a typical 1 yr term. And they not just warranty the product for 18month but supposed to return money if you are not satisfied I actually really enjoy reviewing their products, and have some more goodies from them in queue.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They're who I use for all my replacement batteries :thumbup: my 3100mah note 2 replacement tested at 3250mah and it's a tad thicker by about 3/4mm and definitely heavier. I haven't weighed them yet(gonna do it tomorrow) but you can feel the weight difference when you hold them in each hand. I had replaced my battery in my s2 et4g with one too, labeled 1800mah tested 1950mah. Seems theres an extra 150mah added to their batteries. At least for the device's I've used em in.

How do you test the capacity, external VA meter or some app?

I would say try ZeroLemon 9300 mAh :) Except you won't be able to use test clips...

After 3 weeks of waiting, I finally got those battery clips with a built-in probe. Wow, those are pure quality! Probes actually have spring-loaded pins, and the clip itself is very cleverly coated so it doesn't conduct the electricity. The connection tip at the end of clip handle is exposed so you can connect it to the wire (I used alligator clips), but the rest is isolated. Since +/- contacts on a battery are very close, naturally clips will be placed side-by-side and it's great they are isolated where I don't have to worry about shorting + to -. Actually decided to run a test on Seidio Innocell 4500 mAh battery. Oh, and beefed up the load with 2 resistors in parallel so I can draw current/discharge faster.

Here, took a few pictures of my setup with these new clips:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
Will do!

Where do I buy / order it? (I'm in Canada, in case that impacts your answer)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] e46tuning:
They are sold out of it atm.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
Too bad.

Well, if anyone from Zerolemon is reading this, and you want a straight forward mAh discharge test posted for the forum (although I have to note that there is already an awesome and incredibly comprehensive review by Vectron), then just let me know where I can get one of your cells. Don't want a freebie, I'll pay for it, but even when they're in stock, the US Amazon link doesn't work for a Canadian like me ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
Unexpected surprise today. It's from China, and I expected it to be another 2000 mAh cell. It wasn't. At 3000 mAh it's clearly far under the advertised specs, but it's only 3% under the OEM from Samsung. At this price, and with these specs, it's a good buy. It's an even better deal for non-US buyers who end up paying a premium (more than US buyers) to source Anker cells on eBay, or anything on Amazon.

Price: $8.32 shipped

Claim: 4250 mAh

Actual: 3000 mAh (well, 2990 to be precise)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MeddlingMageGR:
There is an application called "Nova battery tester". Has anyone try it? If yes, is it accurate?

From Galaxy Note 2 with Swype "talk and type"
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Absolutely NOT accurate, and crashes a lot too. But it works really great if you need to discharge your phone quickly ;) I was actually using it to get total screen on time while testing ZeroLemon 9300 mAh, its a good stress test for your phone while keeping screen on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MeddlingMageGR:
Ok, but I think that it could be a meter of measurement. For example we test the stock battery (we know that is 3100) and we get some results (screen time). If we test an other battery we can compare the results with the stock one.

keybaords are around £30

the guy who sells cameras he is from the usa but he is an alrite guy i brought mine from him came in 5 days no import fees what so ever he marks it down as gift and under $20 in price so no fee

screen protectors are about £7 for a brando one

[HTC Droid DNA] dj2muchxx:
my dna is rooted, s-on, running super charged hatka

i have had this device for over a month. functioned fine till yesterday, felt it vibrating, checked on it. and thats when i noticed it was rebooting itself, but it wouldnt get passed the htc quietly brilliant logo. just reboots and reboots and so on. i can get to the fast boot screen ( volume down and power) and navigate through it, then i can get to CWM recovery.

i attempted to restore a backup, started restoring, but after a few seconds, it shut down. i am currently charging it, because it was dead after constant reboots. but after a 20 minute charge it still did the same thing. im going to let it charge for an hour and try to restore a backup again.

if that fails i want to try and flash a new rom, if possible and it doesnt shut down.

is it possible to transfer a new rom to the dna while its in cwm recovery?

(p.s. verizon said that because of my armor shield screen protector, it might be too thick and could have caused the dna to over heat. so they sent me an overnight replacement, got it in the mail today, but it was a Certified Like New replacement. and i am returning it because i paid for a new device, not used. though the sales rep was a very kind person)
[HTC Droid DNA] dragonstalker:
You can use the adb/sideload featured to install a new rom while in CWM. also i'm hoping you still have the original rom on your phone. Try re-flashing the rom over top of what you have now if you have not reset as of yet. Sounds like a file has been corrupted. Also see if you can get a logcat while booting.
[HTC Droid DNA] dj2muchxx:
i think you may be on to something with the corrupt file. after about 40 minutes of charging, i went into cwm adn tried to restore a backup, after a few minutes, it said that it couldnt mount. i was bummed out, ill try it out again tomorrow.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Which armor shield were you using? I'm curious?
[HTC Droid DNA] dj2muchxx:
Armor suit military shield. Well I left my DNA charging for another 30min and it got really hot. I have never felt it get this hot before. Maybe the sales rep was correct. I wasn't able to restore my backup unfortunately

I'm thinking you are going to have to wipe everything, data included meaning you will wipe your phone clean. then use sideload to reflash ruu on your phone. There's a thread on downgrading.

I know the differance is the baseband. But. The thing im wondering is. Is the model number for what the baseband supports? If so couldn't we just buy a c650x whatever model and upload the c6506 to the phone to get the lte for the US?

Short: NO.

Long: No, it's the hardware.

This phone has an APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC. APQ => Applications Processor without integrated modem.

Most with an integrated modem could in theory I suppose, if you had a proper radio but it's kinda a "Depends". The SII Hercules on Telus/T-Mobile is the only device I've encountered where you can flash change it between normal bands (Telus, AT&T, etc) and AWS (T-Mobile). Likely because it's a device that was shipped to carriers on different bands and is pretty much identification in terms of _hardware_. I doubt we normally get the firmware needed to make that change but I usually don't screw with that.
