that was with data and sync on all day and brightness on nearly max (i dont use auto)

i had music playing on phone as well when i was using satnav

[MENTION=4693399]robert93436[/MENTION] can u provide me the linik from extended battery of ebay?

also after so long time how is it ? i mean still awesome ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tmacdon:
You should ck out the Anker 7500 for half the price (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...17145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B00KL4CDXW) which easily allows me 3+ days...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Anmolh:
Ya i know but the design of zerolemon is much better though :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airboner:
what about signal of phone?people say that after they placed battery their signal was lower than before.

also they metioned that battery avoid the signal..

so what about guyz?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
My really only problem with this battery is the damn huge Case, i know it is rigid etc, but it is so damn WIDE LOL and it is literally almost impossible to use it in one hand for more than 2-5 minutes... other than that i love this battery.

is there anyone here who has kind of cut down the Case abit ?!??! to make it llighter etc.. i really need a method a reasonable method.. someone did mention to tape it LMAO .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
its not hard to use or heavy.

your holding it wrong, its not much wider than stock, a lot thicker/deeper definitely but i prefer it (i tend to wear trousers with deep pockets to work)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
i rmember wearing skinny jeans and when i snuggly make it fit in my skinny jeans trouser pocket , everyone looked at my pocket weirdly thinking what am i having there LOL

Im new to extended batteries. I have a battery saver app and my original battery would read 18-19 hr estimated life, my zl 8500 fully charged reads 17hrs estimate. Is battery defective? Im already down to 90% after only an hour with very little usage.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] prichm1992:
Be sure to leave it plugged in for a few hours even after it says 100%.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mikaveli06:
How do I get the battery info to read 8500 instead of 2800
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mikaveli06:
Will phone actually state it is 8500 battery after its calibrated or doest the % left just get more accurate?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mikaveli06:
So fully charged its ssying 24hrs estimate, but im getting more. Does ur guyses pone till say 2800mah for max capacity nd how long does ur estimated times say?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Sachitoge:
Hey, firstly discharge to 0% (untill its turned off) then remove battery, and put back then try to turn on one more time (its okay if it doesnt turn on cause of battery is dead). After that, plug your phone to a SLOW charger for maximum battery health (s5 charger is high ampere, if u got another charger of android, use that instead that has lower ampere output power).

after 100%, go and remove cache of the phone (if u got root download battery calibration app and calibrate) after cleaning, turn off phone and take battery out then place back in and turn on. After that, fully discharge to 1% (dont let phone die) and put back to charger (slow charge) to 100% (let it be on charger for 10 hours). Repeat this 3 times and you will notice its amazing everytime you do it :)

also, after doing this 3 times, NEVER let battery get below 30%! Li-ion batteries DON'T like to be on low capacity! It will kill batteries capacity! And DONT always get phone on charger to stay on 100% always. Best is 80 - 95% (if you did drop to 20-30%, let it charge on 100% (like 5-6hours). If you do these steps i said, you will get full benefit of your battery.

also, charge ur old s5 battery to 55% and then take it out (else ur original s5 battery will be ****ed up with capacity after 5 months of no use).

:) tell me how it is after ur done this step.

You said >>>""also, charge ur old s5 battery to 55% and then take it out (else ur original s5 battery will be ****ed up with capacity after 5 months of no use).""

mate i have like 3 oem batteries i dont use them all like everyday, i use them each one between 2-4 so im fine if i dont leave them on a 100% charge for couple weeks or about a month yeah !?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Sachitoge:
It's okay, couple weeks is ok not bad, but over time, these li-ion rechargeable batteries won't be able to handle all the full battery power in 100% capacity, so it will probably loose some power, it's not something you can do to prevent it, all rechargeable batteries are so.

Short Version (If you're lazy to know much): No, it's very good! As long as it is used within a month, these batteries wont get worser. It's actually better than recharging them everyday (using it over n over).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] David T 19:
Just got this phone on 02

Waiting for payday on Thursday to order this battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shauryaanand:
Has any one order this in Europe? Amazon does not deliver it here, in Germany. I found a few 8500 on Ebay but they are selling them at twice the price quoted by the ZeroLemon. I, so want this; Any purchase experience in Europe would help me figure some way to get it on my phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
how much are zerolemon quoting? i bought mine from amazon

sign up on zerolemons website and they will email you when its in stock
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shauryaanand:
Round about 100 €..

http://m.ebay.de/itm/151631875116
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
i paid £45 for mine

thats 100 cause of shipping etc.

dont forget import tax etc as its coming from outside eu.

have a look on zerolemon for there authorised distributors
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] David T 19:
I'm about to buy it. Is there anything I should know before I hit purchase?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
it is a heavy case ! if you have small hands you will have troubles using it LOL ...

other than that its got plenty good juice easily will get you through 2 full days on heavy use.

moderate 4 days , light will get you over 4 days.

but be aware the juice wont last forever!

i used to get 18-20Hours screen on time and now after some 4-6 months i only get about 10hours , still good tho :) i recommend them ZL is awesome .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] felixthecat:
Just got it. Have about 50 % charge. Shout I run it to 0 then fully charge or put it straight onto a 12 hour charge as per instructions.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:

Currently using the ZeroLemon 8500mah + case for the S5 and looking to buy another one. It seems to be gone. Does anyone know where I can now get this?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
I will buy this soon :)

any suggestion?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Learned that the 8500 is on order an should be available in a month. I want this one because I use the belt holster and the 7500 doesn't have a fit for one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Got mine!! ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Where were you able to get one?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
I broke my belt clip today and had to order a new one. Even it is gonna take a week to get here. Love my 8500 battery though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
in lazada philippines mate.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Just order my second one from Amazon tonight
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Your second one? Do you have another zero lemon?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Yes, I do, since August 2014. Used quite a bit and charge holding time seems to vary now. Last charge was for 5 hrs and this lasted for 4 days, so far, with many ROM changes plus backups which is usually the reason for the fast drop. So to be safe, I wanted a spare in case I needed it or when I do need it, they wont be gone. Love the S5 and do not want to change to a Samsung iPhone look-a-like that has no SD or battery that I can change.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
yes, i was thinking that also before. that's why i'm happy with my s5 ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Guys, it's my day 2 full charging i mean 12 hours charging. After 5 times of 12 hours. this how long will i charge?

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
what if i skipped the first use then charge for 12 hours? any problem that can cause?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
I cook mine until I get a 100% and then let it charge longer. Added time is a variable it just depends on when I do it. Not notice any loss unusual loss with regular use. Still is good for 4 days but fast discharge when making ROM changes. Short answer is let it charge but if it starts to get warm after 100% it's time to stop
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
You mean 12 hours?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
later is my day 5th of 12 hours charging. after how many hours should i charge it?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Wait until you get to a 100% charge and then let it charge longer for a few hours but not longer than 4. If it gets warmer stop charging but not until it passes that 100% charge level.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Are you done with your 5th day charging?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
Not charging but running for 4 days. On the 5th day I needed to charge again
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
i taught need to charge 5 times for 12 hours. then after that 30-95%. and once a month full charge cycle.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] najmalabdulaziz:
Where I can buy it in Indonesia?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] PulseM:
I just stumbled on to this thread. I have a ZL battery for my S3 for last 12months. It used to last 4 days and charge on 5th day but now I have to charge every two days. Ram usage and ROM version is still the same. My usage is light to medium. Not many long calls....but do check internet frequently. Rarely stream.

It does feel nice to hold the weighty phone. Without ZL battery, my phone feels like a toy.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
maybe mate battery is weak than before.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
I had the same problem and solved it by charging for at least 5 to 8hrs. Sometimes overnight. Thought my battery was bad and ordered a 2nd one. But after extending the charge time I am back to 3 to 4 days.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
how many percent do you start to charge to 5 to 8 hours?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
What's your usage to get maximum is 4 days mate?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cyaclone:
When I get to 15% I usually begin to charge. today, it went out because I did no keep an eye on it. Currently on charge and will stay there until late tonight.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I normally do mesages, emails, phone calls, and the web. I am not a music person on this since I still like my MP3 player for music and audio books The number of times I do these things during the day is a variable based on what I am into that day. I also have it go to sleep between 10:30 until 6:00 am daily. I seldom ever turn it off unless I am into ROM stuff which is most of the time.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Is this normal? What do you think?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shadavis08:
I need an extended battery that works for my galaxy s5 active. Anyone got a link for one besides the mugen 100 dollar battery lol

S5 Active
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
That seems like you need to do a full discharge on your battery and fully recharge it (12 hours). Ive had mine for 5 months and usually get 3 days with it with high usage.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
thank you mate. 0% full discharge right? 6 cycles?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
Yeah. Or as close as you can.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
but mate i'm done with full discharge and full charge for 12 hours 6 cycles . it's that okay to do it again?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
If you already did the 6 cycles it recommends you do a full drain once a month . but you never have to so the 6 cycles again.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Now i started to charge 2%. How many hours should i stop this? 8 to 10?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
About 3 hours past when the phone says 100%
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Oh i see mate. But what if i unplugged then i didn't finish 12 hours. It's that okay?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
I assume you will be OK. I'm just telling you what the instructions said on the package.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
mate, what if i've skip 12 hours initial charging?

mate look. zerolemon philippines replied:

The charge/ discharge cycles are recommended prior to initial use. This will ensure you get the most out of your battery life. After doing the initial cycles you may use and charge your product as you normally would.

May I just clarify what the manual mentioned about this just to be sure we're aligned?

Battery life is unique to each individuals charging and usage habits. It looks like you'll get 2 days worth of life from your current state and this is quite normal.

ZeroLemon Philippines
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
It all depends on usage. I got 2 days on my last charge but 4 days on the previous charge. All depends on usage.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
im worried because i saw some post here about their zerolemon. i saw 4 days or 5 days.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SimsDelt:
Some do. But they must not be using their phones very much. 3 days is the average that I've seen.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
i see i think my zerolemon is normal.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
it depends on different things e.g. the kernel and govners used.

i can get two days heavy usage out of it on a performance kernel.

if i changed it to a power saving kernel and didnt use my gps it would last a week
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
What kernel are you using right now?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
i was using boefla with good success but recently something has caused it to become unstable on my device so im using omega on omega 17 (touchwhiz lolipop rom)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] botski:
Thank you mate. I will check. :)

QI Wireless charging

I had a Zerolemon for my S4 and was able to use a QI wireless charger. Can the same be done on the S5 with the 8500 or is it not possible?

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
who has already purchased this product and used it etc. what is your suggestion Do you recommend this battery over the other brands like Anker etc.? I have seen on Amazon, better reviews for Anker 7500MAH over the ZL 8500MAH , kinda makes one think which actually to get..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bbernardini:
Ordered this in anticipation of my phone upgrade on Tuesday. Now I just need to find a bicycle mount this will fit in. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
If the Anker 7500mAh battery is as good as the reviews, go for the one that's more cost-effective. I'm on just over 20 hours from a full charge with the 8500mAh ZL battery and I'm down to 59%. I'm not surprised that the two companies to get aftermarket batteries right for this phone would be Anker and ZL.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
full charge and after 20hours your on 59% can you tell me your screen on time please o_O" ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
I honestly wasn't paying much attention. I have it on the charger because I was downloading a number of things.

extended battery back

The zerolemon and anker both do not preserve water resistance, voiding warranty, not worth it to me!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
Then just wait for a slim ZL battery. If they didn't launch it yet they're probably still working on it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
I just got mine today, and am noticing early that the sound is diminished for this battery/case. Has anyone got a workaround for this? I use my phone for Music/Alarm Clock as well.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
Use Viper, select "Phone Speaker," scroll all the way down, turn Extra Loud on, and use the effect strength of your choice.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
Thanks for the reply blackknightavalon! lol, I got impatient waiting for an answer, so I took the provided 'scraper' for the screen protector, and folded it in half, and taped it in half with electrical tape, and put that near the speaker so there's a little elevation. Seems to work, no app needed!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
you think they'll make a slim version ? is it official or you just guess they are gonna make one/?

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

share your results with us , and tell me how much you need to charge it fully from lets say 20, 30% to fully charge 100% how much time is needed for that kind of full charge? and also screen on time/standby time if you could that'd be great thanks in advance.

I just got it and am in the process of testing it out.

It took me about 7 hrs to fully charge it. 1 day 2 hrs with 16% left. All day as hotspot, check email every minute, screen on almost 7 hrs
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bbernardini:
I didn't charge it the full 12 hours suggested, although it shipped a little over half charged. Since unplugging this morning, I'm just under 11 hours with 3 hours screen on time, and I'm only at 79%. To be fair, most of that was on my belt, counting steps while I worked around the house, but still, quite impressive.

Sound issues with ZL extended battery and case

This is my 2nd case from First was for S3 and it was great.But now I notice the sound with this case is very low and i miss a lot of calls because I cant hear a ringtone or notification. Bottom cover for charger is not secure like on S3.But over all its good, the battery time and design i liked . So any ideas how to solve problem with speakers. Viper is installed but now difference.Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
Zenia, I am unsure if you used the screen protector provided or not, but whether you did or did not, I used the 'scraper' tool that is used to help apply the cover to bolster the sound from the speaker. I folded the scraper in half, and used electrical tape to tape it in half, and then stuck it just above the speaker to create a small wedge. Sound works fine now.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
i can't wait till these are availble in the uk, im down to 2% after 10 hours with 6 hours screen on

Here's my results on the first use. This is with the latest version of SlimHyde.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
I am at 2days 6 hours and change on the first battery life. Arrived to me with 58% battery, charged to 100% and this is the length of rundown with 1 day of light to moderate use, and 1 day of moderate to heavy use, including ~8 hours of video streaming, and ~2 hours of video streaming and PC gaming at the same time.

Completely Stock TW Rom on S5 Verizon Retail. Debloated, and with no wifi, no gps, and only Sync, Mobile Data and Screen Rotation Quick options on. Currently trying to finish the battery drain, and recharge phone for a legit benchmark.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
After running it completely down, all told, day 1, light use. Day 2, heavy use, and intentional overnight draining by broadcasting Wi-Fi while I slept.

2days 16 hours 33minutes and 12 seconds. That's a battery come to me at 58% and charged to 100% and run down.

Have just debloated my S5 a bit more and disabled some services from running. My ram consumption is now down to 1.05gb instead of 1.4gb so I anticipate there will be some battery savings there, and am currently planning on a longevity test Starting Monday August 4th to see just how long it will last on a 100% charge after debloating some more, and 'un-checking' unneeded services.

Will report back.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] llama555:
Is anyone having difficulty taking the case off? I am having difficulty haha

i ordered the ZL battery can you tell me how you create that small wedge? maybe a picture would be helpful if you could show what you did, my main concern about this product is the Sound problem many people say that they got this problem of not hearing the speakers clearly
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
You take the provided 'scraper' and bend it in half length wise, and tape on the half that opens. Once you've done that, apply HARD pressure to the half size scraper so as to remove the crease as much as possible at the bend. Once you have removed the 'bend' by pressure, you put the scraper length wise above the speaker housing so when they battery is sitting on top, there is just a little difference in height, that allows the sound to come out unfettered. Apply battery, case, back. Done.
