I also have the same issue on Rogers XT1058. Stock ROM/Kernel. At my work, the arrow is pointing south instead of North...
[Moto X Q&A] tallgrasshawk:
On US Cellular, also have this problem. Can be very frustrating. Seems to work better if I'm out away from any kind of interference (my car, house, etc). I was testing it by comparing GPS status compass to my actual compass, if I had them too close to each other they would impact each other.
[Moto X Q&A] SR3TLAW:
Ive done similar tests as well with same results. Not sure whats up

I've started having this issue with my Verizon Moto X. GPS Essentials shows incorrect direction as well.

Great review! Good job!

I just want to add a few more thing, something that came from a discussion with Mugen rep on this forum when I was trying to make a point about the price. Those of us who live in the US are fortunate enough to have a lot of choices where to buy a battery. The choices get narrowed down in UK, Germany, Italy. But for the rest of the world you are out of luck where some companies are not dealing with Amazon/ebay local to other countries. Beside NFC support, another thing that sets Mugen apart is their global coverage where they will ship it to you around the globe.

Also, unlike most of the other companies who license HK batteries and re-brand and sell it under their own quality control with a warranty, Mugen designs their own stuff in-house and has a dedicated R&D. Plus, when they say 6400 mAh, it's accurate and actually a bit more then double capacity of stock 3100 mAh.

Excellent pics and info.

I'm curious about how the reception is with the metal bumper. Some would say that it blocks the antenna in some way from receiving signal properly.

Have you seen any difference from no bumper to bumper?

Sent from my Mental 'Note' II.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Ive actually had no problems at all! I have the same reception each time but you know every device is different :)

Ive even tried taking it off and putting it back on and still get perfect reception

Update:1

Day 1 of cycling battery. Woke up at 9:30 AM and it is now 10:07PM with 72% left. I was in medium use didnt play much games but was on instagram web browsong and texting. 5 minute phone calls and emailing.

Thanks for the info update.

Its good to know the metal bumper case doesn't affect reception.

Update 2:

Well all i can say is... you get what you pay for. I paid 30-40 bucks on other batteries, excluding the Zerolemon battery. And i can tell you that the price will give you reassurance that you will get a premium battery. But i wouldve insisted around $75 USD or less. Not $100 USD. now i can tell you this. I left the phone overnight in standby without charging and woke up from 67% to 65% only 2% is gone. Running Tweaked 2.5 with Neak 1.6 kernel. Look at screenshots below to see my day of use. Only used around 30% total today and i did use it with actual intention to run the battery down.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
just wanted to add NFC can be easily, quickly, and cheaply added to any cover that doesn't already have contacts.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Wow really!? Could you send us something like that? I heard of it before but never saw a tutorial :/
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
there's no real tutorial needed because it's so simple lol. rip off the contacts on the back of your stock cover, glue the contacts to your new cover then just use copper tape to connect the contacts on the back of your device to it.

i dont want to highjack his thread though, PM me if you have further questions.

Update 3:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Update for 2 weeks of use:

The battery life definitely gets better after finishing the cycle. I was out of town and thought what the heck i dont need a charger just for two days. I didnt take a screen shot so you have to trust me on this one. 2 days and 2 hours with 8 hours of screen time. Thats including no wifi spots or good reception for that matter.

would you recommend mugen or 0lemon...................

Asking coz i am confused b/w both (0lemon coz it makes note 2 heavy & mugen stops me coz of the price >.<
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Without a doubt you will get a better bang-per-buck with ZL, higher capacity and 2.5 cheaper price, but with ZL you lose access to NFC and have a big more weight (maybe 40g or so?). Plus, ZL is about to release a new rugged cases. With Mugen you can still have NFC access, so its a big deciding factor for those who still need it. Also, keep in mind there are other double capacity batteries, such as Hyperion 6200 mAh for $18.99 on amazon (plus $9.99 honeycomb tpu case which goes on top of their battery cover). I haven't used Hyperion but read they really improved their product since S3 and Note 2 batteries supposed to be on par with Anker (which unfortunately stopped selling 6200 mAh). So you have choices, although you have to consider that Mugen will have THE BEST quality, and extra money is because they have their own R&D and international support and ship worldwide (other vendors are tied up to their "amazon" territories or ebay).

So, I would start by deciding if you do or don't need NFC. If it's part of your daily routine, then ZL is out of the question. Otherwise, it will be the best value. Maybe wait for a few days when they supposed to announce their rugged case. That can persuade your opinion as well ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
I hardly used NFC

But zl stops me from buying it coz of size and the thought that it will look really odd while attending phone call or using that thick a#s n2 ;)

What you say

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Regarding dimensions...I took para from the zl thread

So let's start with dimensions to give you an idea of how triple capacity translates into footprint increase. Just for the reference, original Samsung OEM 3100 mAh battery is 75 mm x 56 mm x 5.6 mm (2.95" x 2.18" x 0.22") and weight of 54g (1.9oz). The new ZL9300 is 110.8 mm x 71.6 mm x 6.2 mm (thinner side) / 12.9 mm (stacked up side) -> 4.36" x 2.82" x 0.24" (thin) / 0.5" (thicker side). The weight of ZL9300 is 166g (5.9oz), and together with TPU case your Note 2 will clock in at 330g (11.7oz).

Actually i am confused from last 2 weeks . so bro u need to help me pls >.<

BTW Jack000samuel@gmail.com is my hangout if u wish to chat there. Good keeping this these clean
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Im going to just say everything vectron says is 100% true and right. I do reccomend the ZL if you dont mind losing NFC. It is more cost effective and you shouldnt worry how big it is if it lasts you 3 DAYS!! LOL

you should use it for the heck of it to show the boss you are a busy man and working your a$$ off!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
I m the boss at my office ....lolz
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
To reply to your IM and the question above, thickness of your phone will be the same with Mugen and ZL because triple capacity doesn't mean triple thickness since they spread/extend their 3rd battery. I guess you can see either of these batteries will double thickness of your phone, and then depending on case you use it can get bulkier. Mugen uses battery case and you might want to get additional tpu case on top of it (not sure it those honeycomb ones will fit?). With ZL you will not have a battery cover but rather a thinner tpu case that will server as battery cover and a case. Not sure how thick their rugged case going to be, but it will be dual layer.

In my opinion if your main requirement is to extend battery life and to save some money and you don't care about NFC, ZL will be a better choice for you, boss!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
tks for replying.

(u must be think i am some kind of asshole.........but no i am nt) the point of me asking same thing again and again is i want to know the total thickness the n2 turns into (how thick is ur n2 after addin 0lemon in Cms /inch's) . i want to know this ........so that i can check/ imagine how thick n2 i will have to carrry (and i guess weight wise it must around 600gm ?)....................... i dont want to have pain in hands due to weight or face inconvenience in using !!

Once again..thanks for answering all my stupid questions. I hope u gonna answer this one with no twisted answers :silly: . boss
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I will measure it once I get home, don't have ZL on now - only use it on the weekends.

And for the record, I don't think you are arsehole ;) If I would, I wouldn't take my time to answer your questions :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
Tks Bro..........:D

waiting to hear............

Nope! It goes about 2 days for me. I can honestly be comfortable without charging over night
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
One more question :D

U haven't mentioned anywhere... How much weight it adds in total :P
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jitin02:
No more battery stats update ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jaggerreng:
Just wanted to throw my 5 cents here. I owned a ZL battery for Note 2 but sold it because it was to darn ugly. Now using Mugen one and getting some weird charge indication issues.

Sometimes charge level just jumps up 20%, however that does not affect usage time (which is great, btw). Battery does not overheat, or anything serious, just a little bit annoying. I'm running the Samsung original ROM that came with the Note 2

Does any one know what could be the issue with this?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Sorry guys ive been busy via school. Hence ive been quiet over the forums for the past 3 months. Ill be sure to update the OP by today or tomorrow with a LONG term use along with the customer care review. (Had a little spill in with the back plate not fitting right)

"1 Month Update":

This phone has lasted me two days of use everytime. I know thats not that much of a woo factor. However, i am a college student. That being said i utilize this device more than 300 times a day. Not only do i use it multiple times im using it for long period of times searching for data or watching youtube videos. Basically replacing my laptop when in public. Now this battery doesnt only save me time by not charging it every time i come home. It also has this nfc chipset that is so accurate that i use it everyday transferring files from my note to my friends note or s3 or s4. This battery makes this for me a beautiful device.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidAngel:
For no valid reasons AT&T Galaxy S3 stock ROM I747UCDLK3 has been nowhere to be found for download.

Both links from Sammobile and Samsung-updates only says "This file is either removed due to copyright claim or is deleted by the uploader"

There must be something fishy goin on right here, they don't even released the full stock of recent UCDMG2 update. This is the first time I heard somebody filed copyright infringement of those stock firmware? Why the heck it's only the UCDLK3 and not all other older stock versions like LEM and LG1. So watch out AT&T subscribers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Its still up in the development forum if needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack man:
It can still be flashed from the official KIES software.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] leezrd:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lt1streconbn:
4.1.1 and earlier can be easily unlocked thru dialpad... calculator then dial pad for tablets like tab 2. Can't think of a more money hungry reason. AT&T... Rethink Enslavement ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
I think it's more because of the boot loader update... Just to avoid idiots bricking their phones flashing software with odin. It was removed for avoidance of disaster...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lt1streconbn:
Maybe :)

But why take down the stock firmware? I just needed it to fix auro rotation in one of my kids s3. I found it with help from an op anyway and it did the trick. I just remember 4.1.1 and earlier were simple to unlock. 4.1.2 done away with that method. 4.1.2 is still available for download also. I elieve 4.0.4 is too though, so my theory has some holes in it if it is. Whats tough is finding US stock firmware for sgh-i497. I flashed umama1 or umama2 and lost my wifi for a day. Found 1 rom finally and fixed it with 4.0.4. Need to find or make a JB rom for it after it gets repaired y Samsung. LCD went bad :( Gotta update N S3 to kk soon also... I never like flashing a new bootloader and knox bugs me 8n the new version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lt1streconbn:
You were right about the bootloader, but wrong with the reason. Its identical to the S4 bootloader aside from the S4 having a critical value of '1' in this code somewhere... Thing us though, that the LK3 bootloader could remain intact and signed, therefore flashed and accepted by the S4 as an update... That us IF it turns out to be truly identical lol. I got a lotta code to read over. Caffeine time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcrue69:
I am VERY new to all of this. I had a Windows 640, which I hated. And got this S3, I love everything except the os. (Previous device Sprint S4 w/lollipop). Anyway, I have the 4.1.1 os. Its rooted to Metro (was AT&T). But I want to upgrade the os to slimkat 9.0. I just don't have a clue what I need or how to do it. And can it be done w/o pc? As a note (included r screenshots). I have supersu, it has a feature to "full root", do I want to mess with that? If so, what are the benefits. I don't want to brick this and want to learn how. Maybe someday try to unlock sim on Sprint S4 ( has knox:mad:)!

Anyone who can help with the right info will be greatly appreciated!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Before doing anything else, I would recommend doing the free sim (carrier) unlock while you are still on 4.1.1. This will give you more options in the future. The method can be found in these forums.

If you were on AT&T I would say there is a chance you could take OTA updates to get to a bootloader that would work with SlimKat 9.0. I don't imagine you can do this.

Just noticed you have TWRP. Which version do you have? you will need a fairly new version to flash SlimKat 9.0 and a newer bootloader and modem, check HERE for both .tar and .img files.

You will probably be able to run slimKat from the MJB bootloader and modem (from the 4.3 rom). You could even do so with the MJ2 bootloader and modem, but you would need a custom kernel such as ktoonsez to do so. If MJB does not work well for you NE4 definitely would, it is from the 4.4.2 release.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcrue69:
Thank you for your response. After posting, I did a root check and found that the phone had only been partially rooted. I downloaded the apk root master. From there I had already downloaded the slimkat 7.0, I was mildly impressed, and now desperate as this is my only working device. Plus, I was terrified I was about to brick it. Anyway, I found LiquidSmooth KitKat os. 4.4.4, downloaded it plus gapps. Everything seems great! Still don't get the connectivity Metro shows for my area, but no bad. But I do have an issue with the front camera. When you take a pic, the phone reboots. The gapps came with Google camera. Tried the camera 360...exact same issue. Not that big a deal. I know have far more flexibility with my service provider in the settings.

So, thanks again for the info. I still have a SCH-720T I wanna do a sim unlock. Between Sprint,Knox and lollipop. Everything I've read says I've got my work cut out !

So I don't know how to get the most appropriate bootloader or kernal you mentioned. Is the slimkat 9.0 better? My connection really sucks now and so does batt life. SOS!!!!

. i recently installed the liquidsmooth 3.1 kitkat 4.4.4, but my baseband is DLK3. i have terrible connectivity issuses as you can imagine. here is the info i have and please i need help asap as this is my only working device. Its a SGH-I747, Liquidsmooth kk 4.4.4, v 3.1, baseband UCDLK3, kernal 3.4.91-deathly-1.7, TWRP v2.8.0.1. i tried to flash MJB but recieved a message "failed to recognize signature" Please help ObiWan, you're my only hope!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Are you having phone connectivity issues or data connectivity issues? If it is phone connection you may need a newer modem.

Before changing modems, have you checked that your APN settings are correct? You may need to verify this with Metro.

Since you said you tried to install the MJB modem but received an error, I guess we need to try to eliminate that problem. Did you try to install only the modem or both modem and bootloader? I would recommend installing the MJB baseband (=Modem) and bootloader together. Once you get past MJB version you must keep the bootloader and baseband matched, so we may as well start that practice now. Is it possible you had a bad download of MJB? Re-downloading may solve the problem.

Do not skip MJB and go to NE4 or NJ1, both newer versions of the modem and bootloader. All I have read indicates that you should update in order without skipping or risk bricking the device.

Your version of TWRP is recent enough that it should work with the files you need. (TWRP is now up to 2.8.7.0 for the d2att.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcrue69:
I have data issues. I've located 2 sources to download the modem/bootloader you mentioned. The first is out of Quebec and has a bad signature. My device also skips md5 , not sure about the issue there. And the other source has too much red tape before I can get to the down load. I have the correct network settings. But I should have excellent 4g. I don't and I believe there is a conflict with the baseband/modem and the 4.4.4 liquidsmooth os.

And thanks a ton for all the help you have given!

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

Should I undo the changes? And start over building from the original 4.1.1? If so, how would I undo these? Then just link me the the appropriate thread to do this correctly. Again, you have been a great asset. Thank you.:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Frequently data issues are a matter of bad APN settings. Have you checked to see if yours are correct?

This thread by enewman17 discusses upgrading modem and bootloader starting at DLK3. He has links to bootloader and modem files. There should be no issues with signed files.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
That has information that may be the key to solving your issues.

I am extrapolating from much reading about people using the MJB, android 4.3, bootloader and modem on KitKat ROMs. The ROMs I read about were TouchWiz based, but the info may still apply. (MJ2 was the leaked release of MJB. The only difference I recall is that MJ2 did not include KNOX, and you can downgrade from it.)

People were having issues running the KK roms from both the MJ2 and MJB bootloader and modem while using the kernel that came with the custom TouchWiz ROMs. Their issues were solved by changing to one of two specific kernels. ibuddler developed one of the kernels, links to it can be found in the OP of LikeWise ROM. The other kernel was by ktoonsez, I don't have a link to his thread. You can not use a kernel for a TouchWiz ROM with an AOSP based ROM. Fortunately ktoonsez also has a kernel for AOSP roms.

Full disclosure, earlier Kitkat ROMs ran fine on MJ2 and MJB, it was later builds that needed either updated firmware or the custom kernels.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcrue69:
I found the kt747 zip and tried v3&v4 of ibuddler. Tried to reboot and each would not boot( over 10 min). But I was able to find this ad so far(fingers crossed) it seems to work just fine. I does switch from 4g to 3 when it is at idle.

I'm still trying it out,but so far so good. I'm still having issues getting an update for twrp. Speaking of updates. Liquidsmooth updated this morning. It updated the kernel and it was way wrong for my os.

Thank you so much for your patience with me in this journey into something I had no clue of. I still would like to update my bootloader and modem to NE4. But I want to wait before I screw something up. Do some more research as I am unable to use odin.
