Some hint to save more battery life...

[Even with this massive big battery size..]

(Requires root)

Navigate to this path :

Root/system/bin folder.

Find this file:

[gsiff_daemon]

Deleted or rename it to

[gsiff_daemon.back]

Reboot..

Enjoy your 25% extra battery life...

Don't worry.

Nothing will happen to your phone and system stability..

Keep it secret LOL :p;)

Don't do it if you have no trust on this... :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] repsol_23:
Thanks for the input it is much appreciated.

However just saying to take your word about getting 1/4 of my battery life without any proof is a hard pill to swallow. How about telling us exactly what we are "freezing" and showing how this relates to battery life. And as always pictures are worth their weight in gold!!!

Just my .02

Take it or leave it...

You can Google it..

You can backup your phone..

You can rename it to original name..

A lot of options you have my dear...

But You know :

am not so miser or stingy to not tell you...

A file called:

"gsiff_daemon"

could cause severe battery drain displayed as Android System.

It is a non-utilised but highly active GPS sensor daemon that is always on for nothing.

EVEN IF GPS IS OFF..

Download any root File Explorer from Play Store

> Go to Developer options > Show CPU usage

> Look for "gsiff_daemon to pop-up

> Launch the root File Explorer > Menu > Settings > Root Settings > Root explorer > Up to root > Mount file system > Go to System > bin folder > rename "gsiff_daemon" to "gsiff_daemon.bak" > Reboot the device.

That's it..

YOU ARE SO WELCOME.

The battery and case are awesome I've had them for a week. The battery comes with a paper insert that mentions not to place it next to metal objects...

Can anyone tell me if a magnetic car dock would be okay to use?

I would need to slide a metal plate behind the battery so there would be direct contact. The response I received from Zerolemon was that they had not tested it so there might be an undesirable outcome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alexan92:

ive asked this question to zerolemon and they replied to me:

Hi

Some ROMs have different percentage indicator readings for this oversized battery.*

We recommend client going down to 1% to fully utilize the battery. (as battery indicator hangs around 3% when in fact the battery is ~30% full)*

You can choose to follow this step whenever you like.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
So that would mean. When I recieve the battery at its delivery % (50-60%) i should use the crap out of it till 1% then recharge 12 hours. Rather then the latter being. Plug it in immediately after receiving to charge from 50-60% to 100%.

Correct?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lwestfall:
Great review! 3 requests:

1, Could you please post your cell signal strength in dBm with the stock battery/case vs. the ZL battery/case? Wifi signal comparison would be interesting too.

2. So to keep the speaker always functional, do you have to have the speaker/stylus tab door always hanging open? Any workaround? Maybe just cut a little hole in that door? I mean, the case isn't waterproof anyway is it?

3. Also, how does the screen protector compare to other screen protectors?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
2.) There is a hole already in the stylus door/flap for the speaker sounds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
Wow they totally ripped off Otterbox's design from the Defender!

Same price, looks like it protects as well and 10Ah capacity to boot.

Looks about as thick as my wife's Note II in the Otterbox Defender! :laugh:

It looks like a win but the pictures appear to make it super duper grippy.

As in you will need a pair of vice grips to pull it out of a pants pocket.

I prefer slick and hard for that reason. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lwestfall:
OK good. I wonder how much the sound is attenuated by the case.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sm00k:
My gods... I modded my otterbox case to fit extended Mugen cell for my GT-N7000. And this looks like Lemon checked my mod and produced commercial product out of it. Glourious.

I think thou that I'll wait a bit with buying it - there might be a bigger version still and as I own Note 3 for about four hours now I don't really have any opinion of battery life.

Gods, this is awesome, cheap and looks great >D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kuz420187:
screen protector

How is the screen protector in comparison to the defender ? On some of the defender cases, there is quite a gap between the screen and the protector causing a springy effect, that kind of renders a touch screen useless/unresponsive. Fortunately, the defender I have now is tight, but I really want this zerolemon. I have the note 2 zerolemon and it is awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Note3fanboy:
How much thicker does the phone become? Is looks almost 4 times thicker to me o.0

Is the case waterproof?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] devynbf:
Great review.

It almost looks like the inner back plate us compatible with an Otterbox Defender?

If so, please confirm (or try if you have one).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Serverbob, can you take pics from your N3 with rugged case with a normal N3 to compare in size and thickness?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hacktheplant:
Think someone could do a comparison between this and the note 2 rugged case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jhheli:
This is what I would like to know, how is the signal strength in comparison.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
So many questions, so few answers so far. I'll add my questions:

1. If you remove the screen protector, does the design of the case allow for a tempered glass protector? Would it tend to lift the sides of it?

2. Like others are asking, is there a noticeable signal decrease, on average, like I experienced with the zl setup with the s4?

3. It looks the the cutout for the headphones is big enough to take a headphone jack that isn't tapered. I have a set of Sony headphones that the plug has threads on it for a screw on 1/4" adapter. Would this case allow for a plug like that without reaming the case cutout around the headphone jack?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ttabbal:
The note2 version made the phone about 2x thicker. I would think that the nicer case might add some bulk, but the tpu case they used on the note2 was somewhat thick, so it might not change much. I don't think it's waterproof though. :D

The flaps are fine the only thing that bothers me but not a big deal is the flap that covers the speaker and s-pen. It creaks if you press it. Im tempted to plug it in but im going to drain it down to maybe 2-1% then charge it.

They can be annoying to move when charging or plugging in headphones but they also serve the important role of keeping lint/dirt out of the case as best as possible.

On my 4th recharge cycle and getting results like this..!

So far only around 5 hrs screen on time but that's cuz I've been very busy at work and only done calls texting and very light Internet use. Should definitely see 4 days use on this cycle. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
damn I wish I had that gsiff thing in the system/bin

stock rooted mj4 no such file because my battery life SUCKS 9 hours with 5 hours being screen on and its near dead (stock battery)

I want a ZL so badly but I refuse to be forced to buy a black case I don't want. will wait for the colored cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mfknboss:
I believe the colored cases are black with just color accents.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I am hoping they will release SOMETHING in color. I won't buy black. For my note 2 I ended up with the pink plastic purple tpu version. not ideal but anything is better than black or white.

hoping for something in orange or worst case blue. (bright blue please) navy might as well be black.

the TPU part is what I want in color. I don't care about the plastic part since you don't see much of that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
I don't think there's any harm to the battery from placing it near magnets, some phone sensors would get wild, but that's about it. That comment about not placing a battery next to metal objects most likely mean not carrying it in your pocket with your home keys, nails, paper clips, etc... things that can shorten the battery, and you don't want that!

I just picked up one of these and it sure does turn my pretty phone into a much heavier brick, but that was to be expected. I dropped my new phone yesterday for the first time and I didn't even flinch. It seems well protected and the case fits perfectly. The power button is a bit tough to work, but all the other buttons work perfectly and I don't notice any difference in the touch screen sensitivity. I really like the kickstand function. I don't know how much more battery life I'm going to get, but I stuck it on the charger all night and when I woke up it was only at %80. Looks like it holds a lot of juice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Mines was finally shipped out yesterday. Rami on Facebook yesterday said the rest of the second batch orders shipped yesterday. I ordered the 6th and still haven't gotten it. So if you ordered from the second batch and still haven't received it, you should be expecting it sometime this week :D:thumbup:

Also Rami said different colors of the case are to be released later this week into early next week. Also they might see more shipments of the battery arrive the same time so keep an eye out for more stock to come in for those who missed it

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alexan92:
no problem im also precise user and follow, I would charge it 12H before I use it then go down 1% etc
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nakedtime:
You can realistically expect between 18 and 48 hours of screen on time with this battery.

18 hours would be streaming hd videos over LTE or HSPA and web browsing at max brightness with power saving turned off.

48 hours would be watching local videos with hardware decoding on minimum brightness.

Standby time will vary depending on how much you've optimized your phone.

With my N9005 optimized for standby, it uses around 2mA. With it not optimized, it uses around 10mA.

So with this battery, you could expect to drain anywhere from 1% per 50hrs to 1% per 10hrs idle.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
So you would charge it for 12 hours before even turning on my phone? Then begin from a fresh 100%. I'm curious if charging from 50 to 100 would have negative effects.

Off topic. Does anyone know why batteries never come full of juice? Is it a safety feature? Is it actually at 100% but through weeks of shipping and storage they lose a charge?

You don't need to charge it before use. They don't come fully charged as storing them at full charge is mildly damaging to them. Also less energy means less fire should something go wrong I suppose. They do self-discharge, but not much really.

Modern lithium batteries don't mind being charged from 50% or any level really. There's no "memory effect" like the old NiCads. I frankly have no idea why people keep suggesting it. That sort of thing hasn't been a problem for a very long time. It's actually WORSE for a lithium to be discharged to zero and recharged to 100% every time. Full cycles kill lithium based batteries faster. Particularly the being at zero bit. Just use them, charge when convenient and try not to run out, which shouldn't be a big issue with these things. Don't over-think it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
Thank you for clearing that up. I won't sbe so anal about charging it "properly" anymore. my OEM I have always tried to discharge fully(till device shuts off) then power on and use it while it powers to 100%. Didn't realize this could actually be a bad thing. Guess I'm old school with assuming it would have a memory effect. So with your theory. We shouldn't even have to do the 6 cycles zerolemon recommends? Just use it. And charge when I feel it necessary? Charge and uncharge at any % level and there should be no negative or positive outcomes correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unitea:
i was wondering about the 6 cycles thing myself. maybe it has more to do with our phones software learning the capacity of the new battery, but i do not know for sure, just a thought. my research of Li-ion batteries is in line with what ttabbal said though.
